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

1Using hlist_nulls to protect read-mostly linked lists and
2objects using SLAB_DESTROY_BY_RCU allocations.
3
4Please read the basics in Documentation/RCU/listRCU.txt
5
6Using special makers (called 'nulls') is a convenient way
7to solve following problem :
8
9A typical RCU linked list managing objects which are
10allocated with SLAB_DESTROY_BY_RCU kmem_cache can
11use following algos :
12
131) Lookup algo
14--------------
15rcu_read_lock()
16begin:
17obj = lockless_lookup(key);
18if (obj) {
19 if (!try_get_ref(obj)) // might fail for free objects
20 goto begin;
21 /*
22 * Because a writer could delete object, and a writer could
23 * reuse these object before the RCU grace period, we
24 * must check key after geting the reference on object
25 */
26 if (obj->key != key) { // not the object we expected
27 put_ref(obj);
28 goto begin;
29 }
30}
31rcu_read_unlock();
32
33Beware that lockless_lookup(key) cannot use traditional hlist_for_each_entry_rcu()
34but a version with an additional memory barrier (smp_rmb())
35
36lockless_lookup(key)
37{
38 struct hlist_node *node, *next;
39 for (pos = rcu_dereference((head)->first);
40 pos && ({ next = pos->next; smp_rmb(); prefetch(next); 1; }) &&
41 ({ tpos = hlist_entry(pos, typeof(*tpos), member); 1; });
42 pos = rcu_dereference(next))
43 if (obj->key == key)
44 return obj;
45 return NULL;
46
47And note the traditional hlist_for_each_entry_rcu() misses this smp_rmb() :
48
49 struct hlist_node *node;
50 for (pos = rcu_dereference((head)->first);
51 pos && ({ prefetch(pos->next); 1; }) &&
52 ({ tpos = hlist_entry(pos, typeof(*tpos), member); 1; });
53 pos = rcu_dereference(pos->next))
54 if (obj->key == key)
55 return obj;
56 return NULL;
57}
58
59Quoting Corey Minyard :
60
61"If the object is moved from one list to another list in-between the
62 time the hash is calculated and the next field is accessed, and the
63 object has moved to the end of a new list, the traversal will not
64 complete properly on the list it should have, since the object will
65 be on the end of the new list and there's not a way to tell it's on a
66 new list and restart the list traversal. I think that this can be
67 solved by pre-fetching the "next" field (with proper barriers) before
68 checking the key."
69
702) Insert algo :
71----------------
72
73We need to make sure a reader cannot read the new 'obj->obj_next' value
74and previous value of 'obj->key'. Or else, an item could be deleted
75from a chain, and inserted into another chain. If new chain was empty
76before the move, 'next' pointer is NULL, and lockless reader can
77not detect it missed following items in original chain.
78
79/*
80 * Please note that new inserts are done at the head of list,
81 * not in the middle or end.
82 */
83obj = kmem_cache_alloc(...);
84lock_chain(); // typically a spin_lock()
85obj->key = key;
86atomic_inc(&obj->refcnt);
87/*
88 * we need to make sure obj->key is updated before obj->next
89 */
90smp_wmb();
91hlist_add_head_rcu(&obj->obj_node, list);
92unlock_chain(); // typically a spin_unlock()
93
94
953) Remove algo
96--------------
97Nothing special here, we can use a standard RCU hlist deletion.
98But thanks to SLAB_DESTROY_BY_RCU, beware a deleted object can be reused
99very very fast (before the end of RCU grace period)
100
101if (put_last_reference_on(obj) {
102 lock_chain(); // typically a spin_lock()
103 hlist_del_init_rcu(&obj->obj_node);
104 unlock_chain(); // typically a spin_unlock()
105 kmem_cache_free(cachep, obj);
106}
107
108
109
110--------------------------------------------------------------------------
111With hlist_nulls we can avoid extra smp_rmb() in lockless_lookup()
112and extra smp_wmb() in insert function.
113
114For example, if we choose to store the slot number as the 'nulls'
115end-of-list marker for each slot of the hash table, we can detect
116a race (some writer did a delete and/or a move of an object
117to another chain) checking the final 'nulls' value if
118the lookup met the end of chain. If final 'nulls' value
119is not the slot number, then we must restart the lookup at
120the begining. If the object was moved to same chain,
121then the reader doesnt care : It might eventually
122scan the list again without harm.
123
124
1251) lookup algo

127 head = &table[slot];

1CONFIG_RCU_TRACE debugfs Files and Formats
2
3
4The rcupreempt and rcutree implementations of RCU provide debugfs trace
5output that summarizes counters and state. This information is useful for
6debugging RCU itself, and can sometimes also help to debug abuses of RCU.
7Note that the rcuclassic implementation of RCU does not provide debugfs
8trace output.
9
10The following sections describe the debugfs files and formats for
11preemptable RCU (rcupreempt) and hierarchical RCU (rcutree).
12
13
14Preemptable RCU debugfs Files and Formats
15
16This implementation of RCU provides three debugfs files under the
17top-level directory RCU: rcu/rcuctrs (which displays the per-CPU
18counters used by preemptable RCU) rcu/rcugp (which displays grace-period
19counters), and rcu/rcustats (which internal counters for debugging RCU).
20
21The output of "cat rcu/rcuctrs" looks as follows:
22
23CPU last cur F M
24 0 5 -5 0 0
25 1 -1 0 0 0
26 2 0 1 0 0
27 3 0 1 0 0
28 4 0 1 0 0
29 5 0 1 0 0
30 6 0 2 0 0
31 7 0 -1 0 0
32 8 0 1 0 0
33ggp = 26226, state = waitzero
34
35The per-CPU fields are as follows:
36
37o "CPU" gives the CPU number. Offline CPUs are not displayed.
38
39o "last" gives the value of the counter that is being decremented
40 for the current grace period phase. In the example above,
41 the counters sum to 4, indicating that there are still four
42 RCU read-side critical sections still running that started
43 before the last counter flip.
44
45o "cur" gives the value of the counter that is currently being
46 both incremented (by rcu_read_lock()) and decremented (by
47 rcu_read_unlock()). In the example above, the counters sum to
48 1, indicating that there is only one RCU read-side critical section
49 still running that started after the last counter flip.
50
51o "F" indicates whether RCU is waiting for this CPU to acknowledge
52 a counter flip. In the above example, RCU is not waiting on any,
53 which is consistent with the state being "waitzero" rather than
54 "waitack".
55
56o "M" indicates whether RCU is waiting for this CPU to execute a
57 memory barrier. In the above example, RCU is not waiting on any,
58 which is consistent with the state being "waitzero" rather than
59 "waitmb".
60
61o "ggp" is the global grace-period counter.
62
63o "state" is the RCU state, which can be one of the following:
64
65 o "idle": there is no grace period in progress.
66
67 o "waitack": RCU just incremented the global grace-period
68 counter, which has the effect of reversing the roles of
69 the "last" and "cur" counters above, and is waiting for
70 all the CPUs to acknowledge the flip. Once the flip has
71 been acknowledged, CPUs will no longer be incrementing
72 what are now the "last" counters, so that their sum will
73 decrease monotonically down to zero.
74
75 o "waitzero": RCU is waiting for the sum of the "last" counters
76 to decrease to zero.
77
78 o "waitmb": RCU is waiting for each CPU to execute a memory
79 barrier, which ensures that instructions from a given CPU's
80 last RCU read-side critical section cannot be reordered
81 with instructions following the memory-barrier instruction.
82
83The output of "cat rcu/rcugp" looks as follows:
84
85oldggp=48870 newggp=48873
86
87Note that reading from this file provokes a synchronize_rcu(). The
88"oldggp" value is that of "ggp" from rcu/rcuctrs above, taken before
89executing the synchronize_rcu(), and the "newggp" value is also the
90"ggp" value, but taken after the synchronize_rcu() command returns.
91
92
93The output of "cat rcu/rcugp" looks as follows:
94
95na=1337955 nl=40 wa=1337915 wl=44 da=1337871 dl=0 dr=1337871 di=1337871
961=50989 e1=6138 i1=49722 ie1=82 g1=49640 a1=315203 ae1=265563 a2=49640
97z1=1401244 ze1=1351605 z2=49639 m1=5661253 me1=5611614 m2=49639
98
99These are counters tracking internal preemptable-RCU events, however,
100some of them may be useful for debugging algorithms using RCU. In
101particular, the "nl", "wl", and "dl" values track the number of RCU
102callbacks in various states. The fields are as follows:
103
104o "na" is the total number of RCU callbacks that have been enqueued
105 since boot.
106
107o "nl" is the number of RCU callbacks waiting for the previous
108 grace period to end so that they can start waiting on the next
109 grace period.
110
111o "wa" is the total number of RCU callbacks that have started waiting
112 for a grace period since boot. "na" should be roughly equal to
113 "nl" plus "wa".
114
115o "wl" is the number of RCU callbacks currently waiting for their
116 grace period to end.
117
118o "da" is the total number of RCU callbacks whose grace periods
119 have completed since boot. "wa" should be roughly equal to
120 "wl" plus "da".
121
122o "dr" is the total number of RCU callbacks that have been removed
123 from the list of callbacks ready to invoke. "dr" should be roughly
124 equal to "da".
125
126o "di" is the total number of RCU callbacks that have been invoked
127 since boot. "di" should be roughly equal to "da", though some
128 early versions of preemptable RCU had a bug so that only the
129 last CPU's count of invocations was displayed, rather than the
130 sum of all CPU's counts.
131
132o "1" is the number of calls to rcu_try_flip(). This should be
133 roughly equal to the sum of "e1", "i1", "a1", "z1", and "m1"
134 described below. In other words, the number of times that
135 the state machine is visited should be equal to the sum of the
136 number of times that each state is visited plus the number of
137 times that the state-machine lock acquisition failed.
138
139o "e1" is the number of times that rcu_try_flip() was unable to
140 acquire the fliplock.
141
142o "i1" is the number of calls to rcu_try_flip_idle().
143
144o "ie1" is the number of times rcu_try_flip_idle() exited early
145 due to the calling CPU having no work for RCU.
146
147o "g1" is the number of times that rcu_try_flip_idle() decided
148 to start a new grace period. "i1" should be roughly equal to
149 "ie1" plus "g1".
150
151o "a1" is the number of calls to rcu_try_flip_waitack().
152
153o "ae1" is the number of times that rcu_try_flip_waitack() found
154 that at least one CPU had not yet acknowledge the new grace period
155 (AKA "counter flip").
156
157o "a2" is the number of time rcu_try_flip_waitack() found that
158 all CPUs had acknowledged. "a1" should be roughly equal to
159 "ae1" plus "a2". (This particular output was collected on
160 a 128-CPU machine, hence the smaller-than-usual fraction of
161 calls to rcu_try_flip_waitack() finding all CPUs having already
162 acknowledged.)
163
164o "z1" is the number of calls to rcu_try_flip_waitzero().
165
166o "ze1" is the number of times that rcu_try_flip_waitzero() found
167 that not all of the old RCU read-side critical sections had
168 completed.
169
170o "z2" is the number of times that rcu_try_flip_waitzero() finds
171 the sum of the counters equal to zero, in other words, that
172 all of the old RCU read-side critical sections had completed.
173 The value of "z1" should be roughly equal to "ze1" plus
174 "z2".
175
176o "m1" is the number of calls to rcu_try_flip_waitmb().
177
178o "me1" is the number of times that rcu_try_flip_waitmb() finds
179 that at least one CPU has not yet executed a memory barrier.
180
181o "m2" is the number of times that rcu_try_flip_waitmb() finds that
182 all CPUs have executed a memory barrier.
183
184
185Hierarchical RCU debugfs Files and Formats
186
187This implementation of RCU provides three debugfs files under the
188top-level directory RCU: rcu/rcudata (which displays fields in struct
189rcu_data), rcu/rcugp (which displays grace-period counters), and
190rcu/rcuhier (which displays the struct rcu_node hierarchy).
191
192The output of "cat rcu/rcudata" looks as follows:
193
194rcu:
195 0 c=4011 g=4012 pq=1 pqc=4011 qp=0 rpfq=1 rp=3c2a dt=23301/73 dn=2 df=1882 of=0 ri=2126 ql=2 b=10

212
213The first section lists the rcu_data structures for rcu, the second for
214rcu_bh. Each section has one line per CPU, or eight for this 8-CPU system.
215The fields are as follows:
216
217o The number at the beginning of each line is the CPU number.
218 CPUs numbers followed by an exclamation mark are offline,
219 but have been online at least once since boot. There will be
220 no output for CPUs that have never been online, which can be
221 a good thing in the surprisingly common case where NR_CPUS is
222 substantially larger than the number of actual CPUs.
223
224o "c" is the count of grace periods that this CPU believes have
225 completed. CPUs in dynticks idle mode may lag quite a ways
226 behind, for example, CPU 4 under "rcu" above, which has slept
227 through the past 25 RCU grace periods. It is not unusual to
228 see CPUs lagging by thousands of grace periods.
229
230o "g" is the count of grace periods that this CPU believes have
231 started. Again, CPUs in dynticks idle mode may lag behind.
232 If the "c" and "g" values are equal, this CPU has already
233 reported a quiescent state for the last RCU grace period that
234 it is aware of, otherwise, the CPU believes that it owes RCU a
235 quiescent state.
236
237o "pq" indicates that this CPU has passed through a quiescent state
238 for the current grace period. It is possible for "pq" to be
239 "1" and "c" different than "g", which indicates that although
240 the CPU has passed through a quiescent state, either (1) this
241 CPU has not yet reported that fact, (2) some other CPU has not
242 yet reported for this grace period, or (3) both.
243
244o "pqc" indicates which grace period the last-observed quiescent
245 state for this CPU corresponds to. This is important for handling
246 the race between CPU 0 reporting an extended dynticks-idle
247 quiescent state for CPU 1 and CPU 1 suddenly waking up and
248 reporting its own quiescent state. If CPU 1 was the last CPU
249 for the current grace period, then the CPU that loses this race
250 will attempt to incorrectly mark CPU 1 as having checked in for
251 the next grace period!
252
253o "qp" indicates that RCU still expects a quiescent state from
254 this CPU.
255
256o "rpfq" is the number of rcu_pending() calls on this CPU required
257 to induce this CPU to invoke force_quiescent_state().
258
259o "rp" is low-order four hex digits of the count of how many times
260 rcu_pending() has been invoked on this CPU.
261
262o "dt" is the current value of the dyntick counter that is incremented
263 when entering or leaving dynticks idle state, either by the
264 scheduler or by irq. The number after the "/" is the interrupt
265 nesting depth when in dyntick-idle state, or one greater than
266 the interrupt-nesting depth otherwise.
267
268 This field is displayed only for CONFIG_NO_HZ kernels.
269
270o "dn" is the current value of the dyntick counter that is incremented
271 when entering or leaving dynticks idle state via NMI. If both
272 the "dt" and "dn" values are even, then this CPU is in dynticks
273 idle mode and may be ignored by RCU. If either of these two
274 counters is odd, then RCU must be alert to the possibility of
275 an RCU read-side critical section running on this CPU.
276
277 This field is displayed only for CONFIG_NO_HZ kernels.
278
279o "df" is the number of times that some other CPU has forced a
280 quiescent state on behalf of this CPU due to this CPU being in
281 dynticks-idle state.
282
283 This field is displayed only for CONFIG_NO_HZ kernels.
284
285o "of" is the number of times that some other CPU has forced a
286 quiescent state on behalf of this CPU due to this CPU being
287 offline. In a perfect world, this might neve happen, but it
288 turns out that offlining and onlining a CPU can take several grace
289 periods, and so there is likely to be an extended period of time
290 when RCU believes that the CPU is online when it really is not.
291 Please note that erring in the other direction (RCU believing a
292 CPU is offline when it is really alive and kicking) is a fatal
293 error, so it makes sense to err conservatively.
294
295o "ri" is the number of times that RCU has seen fit to send a
296 reschedule IPI to this CPU in order to get it to report a
297 quiescent state.
298
299o "ql" is the number of RCU callbacks currently residing on
300 this CPU. This is the total number of callbacks, regardless
301 of what state they are in (new, waiting for grace period to
302 start, waiting for grace period to end, ready to invoke).
303
304o "b" is the batch limit for this CPU. If more than this number
305 of RCU callbacks is ready to invoke, then the remainder will
306 be deferred.
307
308
309The output of "cat rcu/rcugp" looks as follows:
310
311rcu: completed=33062 gpnum=33063
312rcu_bh: completed=464 gpnum=464
313
314Again, this output is for both "rcu" and "rcu_bh". The fields are
315taken from the rcu_state structure, and are as follows:
316
317o "completed" is the number of grace periods that have completed.
318 It is comparable to the "c" field from rcu/rcudata in that a
319 CPU whose "c" field matches the value of "completed" is aware
320 that the corresponding RCU grace period has completed.
321
322o "gpnum" is the number of grace periods that have started. It is
323 comparable to the "g" field from rcu/rcudata in that a CPU
324 whose "g" field matches the value of "gpnum" is aware that the
325 corresponding RCU grace period has started.
326
327 If these two fields are equal (as they are for "rcu_bh" above),
328 then there is no grace period in progress, in other words, RCU
329 is idle. On the other hand, if the two fields differ (as they
330 do for "rcu" above), then an RCU grace period is in progress.
331
332
333The output of "cat rcu/rcuhier" looks as follows, with very long lines:
334
335c=6902 g=6903 s=2 jfq=3 j=72c7 nfqs=13142/nfqsng=0(13142) fqlh=6

339rcu_bh:
340c=-226 g=-226 s=1 jfq=-5701 j=72c7 nfqs=88/nfqsng=0(88) fqlh=0
3410/1 0:127 ^0
3420/3 0:35 ^0 0/0 36:71 ^1 0/0 72:107 ^2 0/0 108:127 ^3
3430/3f 0:5 ^0 0/3 6:11 ^1 0/0 12:17 ^2 0/0 18:23 ^3 0/0 24:29 ^4 0/0 30:35 ^5 0/0 36:41 ^0 0/0 42:47 ^1 0/0 48:53 ^2 0/0 54:59 ^3 0/0 60:65 ^4 0/0 66:71 ^5 0/0 72:77 ^0 0/0 78:83 ^1 0/0 84:89 ^2 0/0 90:95 ^3 0/0 96:101 ^4 0/0 102:107 ^5 0/0 108:113 ^0 0/0 114:119 ^1 0/0 120:125 ^2 0/0 126:127 ^3
344
345This is once again split into "rcu" and "rcu_bh" portions. The fields are
346as follows:
347
348o "c" is exactly the same as "completed" under rcu/rcugp.
349
350o "g" is exactly the same as "gpnum" under rcu/rcugp.
351
352o "s" is the "signaled" state that drives force_quiescent_state()'s
353 state machine.
354
355o "jfq" is the number of jiffies remaining for this grace period
356 before force_quiescent_state() is invoked to help push things
357 along. Note that CPUs in dyntick-idle mode thoughout the grace
358 period will not report on their own, but rather must be check by
359 some other CPU via force_quiescent_state().
360
361o "j" is the low-order four hex digits of the jiffies counter.
362 Yes, Paul did run into a number of problems that turned out to
363 be due to the jiffies counter no longer counting. Why do you ask?
364
365o "nfqs" is the number of calls to force_quiescent_state() since
366 boot.
367
368o "nfqsng" is the number of useless calls to force_quiescent_state(),
369 where there wasn't actually a grace period active. This can
370 happen due to races. The number in parentheses is the difference
371 between "nfqs" and "nfqsng", or the number of times that
372 force_quiescent_state() actually did some real work.
373
374o "fqlh" is the number of calls to force_quiescent_state() that
375 exited immediately (without even being counted in nfqs above)
376 due to contention on ->fqslock.
377
378o Each element of the form "1/1 0:127 ^0" represents one struct
379 rcu_node. Each line represents one level of the hierarchy, from
380 root to leaves. It is best to think of the rcu_data structures
381 as forming yet another level after the leaves. Note that there
382 might be either one, two, or three levels of rcu_node structures,
383 depending on the relationship between CONFIG_RCU_FANOUT and
384 CONFIG_NR_CPUS.
385
386 o The numbers separated by the "/" are the qsmask followed
387 by the qsmaskinit. The qsmask will have one bit
388 set for each entity in the next lower level that
389 has not yet checked in for the current grace period.
390 The qsmaskinit will have one bit for each entity that is
391 currently expected to check in during each grace period.
392 The value of qsmaskinit is assigned to that of qsmask
393 at the beginning of each grace period.
394
395 For example, for "rcu", the qsmask of the first entry
396 of the lowest level is 0x14, meaning that we are still
397 waiting for CPUs 2 and 4 to check in for the current
398 grace period.
399
400 o The numbers separated by the ":" are the range of CPUs
401 served by this struct rcu_node. This can be helpful
402 in working out how the hierarchy is wired together.
403
404 For example, the first entry at the lowest level shows
405 "0:5", indicating that it covers CPUs 0 through 5.
406
407 o The number after the "^" indicates the bit in the
408 next higher level rcu_node structure that this
409 rcu_node structure corresponds to.
410
411 For example, the first entry at the lowest level shows
412 "^0", indicating that it corresponds to bit zero in
413 the first entry at the middle level.

1 MFP Configuration for PXA2xx/PXA3xx Processors
2
3 Eric Miao <eric.miao@marvell.com>
4
5MFP stands for Multi-Function Pin, which is the pin-mux logic on PXA3xx and
6later PXA series processors. This document describes the existing MFP API,
7and how board/platform driver authors could make use of it.
8
9 Basic Concept
10===============
11
12Unlike the GPIO alternate function settings on PXA25x and PXA27x, a new MFP
13mechanism is introduced from PXA3xx to completely move the pin-mux functions
14out of the GPIO controller. In addition to pin-mux configurations, the MFP
15also controls the low power state, driving strength, pull-up/down and event
16detection of each pin. Below is a diagram of internal connections between
17the MFP logic and the remaining SoC peripherals:
18
19 +--------+
20 | |--(GPIO19)--+
21 | GPIO | |
22 | |--(GPIO...) |
23 +--------+ |
24 | +---------+
25 +--------+ +------>| |
26 | PWM2 |--(PWM_OUT)-------->| MFP |
27 +--------+ +------>| |-------> to external PAD
28 | +---->| |
29 +--------+ | | +-->| |
30 | SSP2 |---(TXD)----+ | | +---------+
31 +--------+ | |
32 | |
33 +--------+ | |
34 | Keypad |--(MKOUT4)----+ |
35 +--------+ |
36 |
37 +--------+ |
38 | UART2 |---(TXD)--------+
39 +--------+
40
41NOTE: the external pad is named as MFP_PIN_GPIO19, it doesn't necessarily
42mean it's dedicated for GPIO19, only as a hint that internally this pin
43can be routed from GPIO19 of the GPIO controller.
44
45To better understand the change from PXA25x/PXA27x GPIO alternate function
46to this new MFP mechanism, here are several key points:
47
48 1. GPIO controller on PXA3xx is now a dedicated controller, same as other
49 internal controllers like PWM, SSP and UART, with 128 internal signals
50 which can be routed to external through one or more MFPs (e.g. GPIO<0>
51 can be routed through either MFP_PIN_GPIO0 as well as MFP_PIN_GPIO0_2,
52 see arch/arm/mach-pxa/mach/include/mfp-pxa300.h)
53
54 2. Alternate function configuration is removed from this GPIO controller,
55 the remaining functions are pure GPIO-specific, i.e.
56
57 - GPIO signal level control
58 - GPIO direction control
59 - GPIO level change detection
60
61 3. Low power state for each pin is now controlled by MFP, this means the
62 PGSRx registers on PXA2xx are now useless on PXA3xx
63
64 4. Wakeup detection is now controlled by MFP, PWER does not control the
65 wakeup from GPIO(s) any more, depending on the sleeping state, ADxER
66 (as defined in pxa3xx-regs.h) controls the wakeup from MFP
67
68NOTE: with such a clear separation of MFP and GPIO, by GPIO<xx> we normally
69mean it is a GPIO signal, and by MFP<xxx> or pin xxx, we mean a physical
70pad (or ball).
71
72 MFP API Usage
73===============
74
75For board code writers, here are some guidelines:
76
771. include ONE of the following header files in your <board>.c:
78
79 - #include <mach/mfp-pxa25x.h>
80 - #include <mach/mfp-pxa27x.h>
81 - #include <mach/mfp-pxa300.h>
82 - #include <mach/mfp-pxa320.h>
83 - #include <mach/mfp-pxa930.h>
84
85 NOTE: only one file in your <board>.c, depending on the processors used,
86 because pin configuration definitions may conflict in these file (i.e.
87 same name, different meaning and settings on different processors). E.g.
88 for zylonite platform, which support both PXA300/PXA310 and PXA320, two
89 separate files are introduced: zylonite_pxa300.c and zylonite_pxa320.c
90 (in addition to handle MFP configuration differences, they also handle
91 the other differences between the two combinations).
92
93 NOTE: PXA300 and PXA310 are almost identical in pin configurations (with
94 PXA310 supporting some additional ones), thus the difference is actually
95 covered in a single mfp-pxa300.h.
96
972. prepare an array for the initial pin configurations, e.g.:
98
99 static unsigned long mainstone_pin_config[] __initdata = {
100 /* Chip Select */
101 GPIO15_nCS_1,
102
103 /* LCD - 16bpp Active TFT */
104 GPIOxx_TFT_LCD_16BPP,
105 GPIO16_PWM0_OUT, /* Backlight */
106
107 /* MMC */
108 GPIO32_MMC_CLK,
109 GPIO112_MMC_CMD,
110 GPIO92_MMC_DAT_0,
111 GPIO109_MMC_DAT_1,
112 GPIO110_MMC_DAT_2,
113 GPIO111_MMC_DAT_3,
114
115 ...
116
117 /* GPIO */
118 GPIO1_GPIO | WAKEUP_ON_EDGE_BOTH,
119 };
120
121 a) once the pin configurations are passed to pxa{2xx,3xx}_mfp_config(),
122 and written to the actual registers, they are useless and may discard,
123 adding '__initdata' will help save some additional bytes here.
124
125 b) when there is only one possible pin configurations for a component,
126 some simplified definitions can be used, e.g. GPIOxx_TFT_LCD_16BPP on
127 PXA25x and PXA27x processors
128
129 c) if by board design, a pin can be configured to wake up the system
130 from low power state, it can be 'OR'ed with any of:
131
132 WAKEUP_ON_EDGE_BOTH
133 WAKEUP_ON_EDGE_RISE
134 WAKEUP_ON_EDGE_FALL
135 WAKEUP_ON_LEVEL_HIGH - specifically for enabling of keypad GPIOs,
136
137 to indicate that this pin has the capability of wake-up the system,
138 and on which edge(s). This, however, doesn't necessarily mean the
139 pin _will_ wakeup the system, it will only when set_irq_wake() is
140 invoked with the corresponding GPIO IRQ (GPIO_IRQ(xx) or gpio_to_irq())
141 and eventually calls gpio_set_wake() for the actual register setting.
142
143 d) although PXA3xx MFP supports edge detection on each pin, the
144 internal logic will only wakeup the system when those specific bits
145 in ADxER registers are set, which can be well mapped to the
146 corresponding peripheral, thus set_irq_wake() can be called with
147 the peripheral IRQ to enable the wakeup.
148
149
150 MFP on PXA3xx
151===============
152
153Every external I/O pad on PXA3xx (excluding those for special purpose) has
154one MFP logic associated, and is controlled by one MFP register (MFPR).
155
156The MFPR has the following bit definitions (for PXA300/PXA310/PXA320):
157
158 31 16 15 14 13 12 11 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0

161 +-------------------------+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+
162
163 Bit 3: RESERVED
164 Bit 4: EDGE_RISE_EN - enable detection of rising edge on this pin
165 Bit 5: EDGE_FALL_EN - enable detection of falling edge on this pin
166 Bit 6: EDGE_CLEAR - disable edge detection on this pin
167 Bit 7: SLEEP_OE_N - enable outputs during low power modes
168 Bit 8: SLEEP_DATA - output data on the pin during low power modes
169 Bit 9: SLEEP_SEL - selection control for low power modes signals

171 Bit 14: PULLUP_EN - enable the internal pull-up resistor on this pin
172 Bit 15: PULL_SEL - pull state controlled by selected alternate function
173 (0) or by PULL{UP,DOWN}_EN bits (1)
174
175 Bit 0 - 2: AF_SEL - alternate function selection, 8 possibilities, from 0-7
176 Bit 10-12: DRIVE - drive strength and slew rate
177 0b000 - fast 1mA

182 0b005 - fast 6mA
183 0b006 - slow 10mA
184 0b007 - fast 10mA
185
186 MFP Design for PXA2xx/PXA3xx
187==============================
188
189Due to the difference of pin-mux handling between PXA2xx and PXA3xx, a unified
190MFP API is introduced to cover both series of processors.
191
192The basic idea of this design is to introduce definitions for all possible pin
193configurations, these definitions are processor and platform independent, and
194the actual API invoked to convert these definitions into register settings and
195make them effective there-after.

229 Pin Configuration
230 -----------------
231
232 The following comments are copied from mfp.h (see the actual source code
233 for most updated info)
234
235 /*
236 * a possible MFP configuration is represented by a 32-bit integer
237 *
238 * bit 0.. 9 - MFP Pin Number (1024 Pins Maximum)
239 * bit 10..12 - Alternate Function Selection
240 * bit 13..15 - Drive Strength
241 * bit 16..18 - Low Power Mode State
242 * bit 19..20 - Low Power Mode Edge Detection

257 * low power mode
258 * MFP_CFG_X - default MFPR value with alternate function,
259 * pin drive strength and low power mode
260 */
261
262 Examples of pin configurations are:
263
264 #define GPIO94_SSP3_RXD MFP_CFG_X(GPIO94, AF1, DS08X, FLOAT)
265
266 which reads GPIO94 can be configured as SSP3_RXD, with alternate function
267 selection of 1, driving strength of 0b101, and a float state in low power
268 modes.
269
270 NOTE: this is the default setting of this pin being configured as SSP3_RXD
271 which can be modified a bit in board code, though it is not recommended to
272 do so, simply because this default setting is usually carefully encoded,
273 and is supposed to work in most cases.
274
275 Register Settings
276 -----------------
277
278 Register settings on PXA3xx for a pin configuration is actually very
279 straight-forward, most bits can be converted directly into MFPR value
280 in a easier way. Two sets of MFPR values are calculated: the run-time
281 ones and the low power mode ones, to allow different settings.
282
283 The conversion from a generic pin configuration to the actual register
284 settings on PXA2xx is a bit complicated: many registers are involved,
285 including GAFRx, GPDRx, PGSRx, PWER, PKWR, PFER and PRER. Please see
286 mfp-pxa2xx.c for how the conversion is made.

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

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

61Overlay Support for PXA27x and later LCD controllers
62====================================================
63
64 PXA27x and later processors support overlay1 and overlay2 on-top of the
65 base framebuffer (although under-neath the base is also possible). They
66 support palette and no-palette RGB formats, as well as YUV formats (only
67 available on overlay2). These overlays have dedicated DMA channels and
68 behave in a similar way as a framebuffer.
69
70 However, there are some differences between these overlay framebuffers
71 and normal framebuffers, as listed below:
72
73 1. overlay can start at a 32-bit word aligned position within the base
74 framebuffer, which means they have a start (x, y). This information
75 is encoded into var->nonstd (no, var->xoffset and var->yoffset are
76 not for such purpose).
77
78 2. overlay framebuffer is allocated dynamically according to specified
79 'struct fb_var_screeninfo', the amount is decided by:
80
81 var->xres_virtual * var->yres_virtual * bpp
82
83 bpp = 16 -- for RGB565 or RGBT555
84 = 24 -- for YUV444 packed
85 = 24 -- for YUV444 planar
86 = 16 -- for YUV422 planar (1 pixel = 1 Y + 1/2 Cb + 1/2 Cr)
87 = 12 -- for YUV420 planar (1 pixel = 1 Y + 1/4 Cb + 1/4 Cr)
88
89 NOTE:
90
91 a. overlay does not support panning in x-direction, thus
92 var->xres_virtual will always be equal to var->xres
93
94 b. line length of overlay(s) must be on a 32-bit word boundary,
95 for YUV planar modes, it is a requirement for the component
96 with minimum bits per pixel, e.g. for YUV420, Cr component
97 for one pixel is actually 2-bits, it means the line length
98 should be a multiple of 16-pixels
99
100 c. starting horizontal position (XPOS) should start on a 32-bit
101 word boundary, otherwise the fb_check_var() will just fail.
102
103 d. the rectangle of the overlay should be within the base plane,
104 otherwise fail
105
106 Applications should follow the sequence below to operate an overlay
107 framebuffer:
108
109 a. open("/dev/fb[1-2]", ...)
110 b. ioctl(fd, FBIOGET_VSCREENINFO, ...)
111 c. modify 'var' with desired parameters:
112 1) var->xres and var->yres
113 2) larger var->yres_virtual if more memory is required,
114 usually for double-buffering
115 3) var->nonstd for starting (x, y) and color format
116 4) var->{red, green, blue, transp} if RGB mode is to be used
117 d. ioctl(fd, FBIOPUT_VSCREENINFO, ...)
118 e. ioctl(fd, FBIOGET_FSCREENINFO, ...)
119 f. mmap
120 g. ...
121
122 3. for YUV planar formats, these are actually not supported within the
123 framebuffer framework, application has to take care of the offsets

2To support containers, we now allow multiple instances of devpts filesystem,
3such that indices of ptys allocated in one instance are independent of indices
4allocated in other instances of devpts.
5
6To preserve backward compatibility, this support for multiple instances is
7enabled only if:
8
9 - CONFIG_DEVPTS_MULTIPLE_INSTANCES=y, and
10 - '-o newinstance' mount option is specified while mounting devpts
11
12IOW, devpts now supports both single-instance and multi-instance semantics.
13
14If CONFIG_DEVPTS_MULTIPLE_INSTANCES=n, there is no change in behavior and
15this referred to as the "legacy" mode. In this mode, the new mount options
16(-o newinstance and -o ptmxmode) will be ignored with a 'bogus option' message
17on console.
18
19If CONFIG_DEVPTS_MULTIPLE_INSTANCES=y and devpts is mounted without the
20'newinstance' option (as in current start-up scripts) the new mount binds
21to the initial kernel mount of devpts. This mode is referred to as the
22'single-instance' mode and the current, single-instance semantics are
23preserved, i.e PTYs are common across the system.
24
25The only difference between this single-instance mode and the legacy mode
26is the presence of new, '/dev/pts/ptmx' node with permissions 0000, which
27can safely be ignored.
28
29If CONFIG_DEVPTS_MULTIPLE_INSTANCES=y and 'newinstance' option is specified,
30the mount is considered to be in the multi-instance mode and a new instance
31of the devpts fs is created. Any ptys created in this instance are independent
32of ptys in other instances of devpts. Like in the single-instance mode, the
33/dev/pts/ptmx node is present. To effectively use the multi-instance mode,
34open of /dev/ptmx must be a redirected to '/dev/pts/ptmx' using a symlink or
35bind-mount.
36
37Eg: A container startup script could do the following:
38
39 $ chmod 0666 /dev/pts/ptmx
40 $ rm /dev/ptmx
41 $ ln -s pts/ptmx /dev/ptmx
42 $ ns_exec -cm /bin/bash
43
44 # We are now in new container
45
46 $ umount /dev/pts
47 $ mount -t devpts -o newinstance lxcpts /dev/pts
48 $ sshd -p 1234
49
50where 'ns_exec -cm /bin/bash' calls clone() with CLONE_NEWNS flag and execs
51/bin/bash in the child process. A pty created by the sshd is not visible in
52the original mount of /dev/pts.
53
54User-space changes
55------------------
56
57In multi-instance mode (i.e '-o newinstance' mount option is specified at least
58once), following user-space issues should be noted.
59
601. If -o newinstance mount option is never used, /dev/pts/ptmx can be ignored
61 and no change is needed to system-startup scripts.
62
632. To effectively use multi-instance mode (i.e -o newinstance is specified)
64 administrators or startup scripts should "redirect" open of /dev/ptmx to
65 /dev/pts/ptmx using either a bind mount or symlink.
66
67 $ mount -t devpts -o newinstance devpts /dev/pts
68
69 followed by either
70
71 $ rm /dev/ptmx
72 $ ln -s pts/ptmx /dev/ptmx
73 $ chmod 666 /dev/pts/ptmx
74 or
75 $ mount -o bind /dev/pts/ptmx /dev/ptmx
76
773. The '/dev/ptmx -> pts/ptmx' symlink is the preferred method since it
78 enables better error-reporting and treats both single-instance and
79 multi-instance mounts similarly.
80
81 But this method requires that system-startup scripts set the mode of
82 /dev/pts/ptmx correctly (default mode is 0000). The scripts can set the
83 mode by, either
84
85 - adding ptmxmode mount option to devpts entry in /etc/fstab, or
86 - using 'chmod 0666 /dev/pts/ptmx'
87
884. If multi-instance mode mount is needed for containers, but the system
89 startup scripts have not yet been updated, container-startup scripts
90 should bind mount /dev/ptmx to /dev/pts/ptmx to avoid breaking single-
91 instance mounts.
92
93 Or, in general, container-startup scripts should use:
94
95 mount -t devpts -o newinstance -o ptmxmode=0666 devpts /dev/pts
96 if [ ! -L /dev/ptmx ]; then
97 mount -o bind /dev/pts/ptmx /dev/ptmx
98 fi
99
100 When all devpts mounts are multi-instance, /dev/ptmx can permanently be
101 a symlink to pts/ptmx and the bind mount can be ignored.
102
1035. A multi-instance mount that is not accompanied by the /dev/ptmx to
104 /dev/pts/ptmx redirection would result in an unusable/unreachable pty.
105
106 mount -t devpts -o newinstance lxcpts /dev/pts
107
108 immediately followed by:
109
110 open("/dev/ptmx")
111
112 would create a pty, say /dev/pts/7, in the initial kernel mount.
113 But /dev/pts/7 would be invisible in the new mount.
114
1156. The permissions for /dev/pts/ptmx node should be specified when mounting
116 /dev/pts, using the '-o ptmxmode=%o' mount option (default is 0000).
117
118 mount -t devpts -o newinstance -o ptmxmode=0644 devpts /dev/pts
119
120 The permissions can be later be changed as usual with 'chmod'.
121
122 chmod 666 /dev/pts/ptmx
123
1247. A mount of devpts without the 'newinstance' option results in binding to
125 initial kernel mount. This behavior while preserving legacy semantics,
126 does not provide strict isolation in a container environment. i.e by
127 mounting devpts without the 'newinstance' option, a container could
128 get visibility into the 'host' or root container's devpts.
129
130 To workaround this and have strict isolation, all mounts of devpts,
131 including the mount in the root container, should use the newinstance
132 option.

1082By writing into /debug/tracing/set_ftrace_pid you can trace a
1083single thread. For example:

6will be used in all cases where kbuild do preprocessing including
7building C files and assembler files.
8
9KAFLAGS
10--------------------------------------------------
11Additional options to the assembler.
12
13KCFLAGS
14--------------------------------------------------

16
17KBUILD_VERBOSE
18--------------------------------------------------
19Set the kbuild verbosity. Can be assinged same values as "V=...".
20See make help for the full list.
21Setting "V=..." takes precedence over KBUILD_VERBOSE.
22
23KBUILD_EXTMOD
24--------------------------------------------------
25Set the directory to look for the kernel source when building external
26modules.
27The directory can be specified in several ways:
281) Use "M=..." on the command line
292) Environmnet variable KBUILD_EXTMOD
303) Environmnet variable SUBDIRS
31The possibilities are listed in the order they take precedence.
32Using "M=..." will always override the others.
33
34KBUILD_OUTPUT
35--------------------------------------------------
36Specify the output directory when building the kernel.
37The output directory can also be specificed using "O=...".
38Setting "O=..." takes precedence over KBUILD_OUTPUT
39
40ARCH
41--------------------------------------------------
42Set ARCH to the architecture to be built.
43In most cases the name of the architecture is the same as the
44directory name found in the arch/ directory.
45But some architectures suach as x86 and sparc has aliases.
46x86: i386 for 32 bit, x86_64 for 64 bit
47sparc: sparc for 32 bit, sparc64 for 64 bit
48
49CROSS_COMPILE
50--------------------------------------------------
51Specify an optional fixed part of the binutils filename.
52CROSS_COMPILE can be a part of the filename or the full path.
53
54CROSS_COMPILE is also used for ccache is some setups.
55
56CF
57--------------------------------------------------
58Additional options for sparse.
59CF is often used on the command-line like this:
60
61 make CF=-Wbitwise C=2
62
63INSTALL_PATH
64--------------------------------------------------
65INSTALL_PATH specifies where to place the updated kernel and system map
66images. Default is /boot, but you can set it to other values
67
68
69MODLIB
70--------------------------------------------------
71Specify where to install modules.
72The default value is:
73
74 $(INSTALL_MOD_PATH)/lib/modules/$(KERNELRELEASE)
75
76The value can be overridden in which case the default value is ignored.
77
78INSTALL_MOD_PATH
79--------------------------------------------------
80INSTALL_MOD_PATH specifies a prefix to MODLIB for module directory
81relocations required by build roots. This is not defined in the
82makefile but the argument can be passed to make if needed.
83
84INSTALL_MOD_STRIP
85--------------------------------------------------
86INSTALL_MOD_STRIP, if defined, will cause modules to be
87stripped after they are installed. If INSTALL_MOD_STRIP is '1', then
88the default option --strip-debug will be used. Otherwise,
89INSTALL_MOD_STRIP will used as the options to the strip command.
90
91INSTALL_FW_PATH
92--------------------------------------------------
93INSTALL_FW_PATH specify where to install the firmware blobs.
94The default value is:
95

102INSTALL_HDR_PATH specify where to install user space headers when
103executing "make headers_*".
104The default value is:
105
106 $(objtree)/usr
107
108$(objtree) is the directory where output files are saved.
109The output directory is often set using "O=..." on the commandline.
110
111The value can be overridden in which case the default value is ignored.
112
113KBUILD_MODPOST_WARN
114--------------------------------------------------
115KBUILD_MODPOST_WARN can be set to avoid error out in case of undefined
116symbols in the final module linking stage.
117
118KBUILD_MODPOST_FINAL
119--------------------------------------------------
120KBUILD_MODPOST_NOFINAL can be set to skip the final link of modules.
121This is solely usefull to speed up test compiles.
122
123KBUILD_EXTRA_SYMBOLS
124--------------------------------------------------
125For modules use symbols from another modules.

1This file contains some assistance for using "make *config".
2
3Use "make help" to list all of the possible configuration targets.
4
5The xconfig ('qconf') and menuconfig ('mconf') programs also
6have embedded help text. Be sure to check it for navigation,
7search, and other general help text.
8
9======================================================================
10General
11--------------------------------------------------
12
13New kernel releases often introduce new config symbols. Often more
14important, new kernel releases may rename config symbols. When
15this happens, using a previously working .config file and running
16"make oldconfig" won't necessarily produce a working new kernel
17for you, so you may find that you need to see what NEW kernel
18symbols have been introduced.
19
20To see a list of new config symbols when using "make oldconfig", use
21
22 cp user/some/old.config .config
23 yes "" | make oldconfig >conf.new
24
25and the config program will list as (NEW) any new symbols that have
26unknown values. Of course, the .config file is also updated with
27new (default) values, so you can use:
28
29 grep "(NEW)" conf.new
30
31to see the new config symbols or you can 'diff' the previous and
32new .config files to see the differences:
33
34 diff .config.old .config | less
35
36(Yes, we need something better here.)
37
38
39======================================================================
40menuconfig
41--------------------------------------------------
42
43SEARCHING for CONFIG symbols
44
45Searching in menuconfig:
46
47 The Search function searches for kernel configuration symbol
48 names, so you have to know something close to what you are
49 looking for.
50
51 Example:
52 /hotplug
53 This lists all config symbols that contain "hotplug",
54 e.g., HOTPLUG, HOTPLUG_CPU, MEMORY_HOTPLUG.
55
56 For search help, enter / followed TAB-TAB-TAB (to highlight
57 <Help>) and Enter. This will tell you that you can also use
58 regular expressions (regexes) in the search string, so if you
59 are not interested in MEMORY_HOTPLUG, you could try
60
61 /^hotplug
62
63
64______________________________________________________________________
65Color Themes for 'menuconfig'
66
67It is possible to select different color themes using the variable
68MENUCONFIG_COLOR. To select a theme use:
69
70 make MENUCONFIG_COLOR=<theme> menuconfig
71
72Available themes are:
73 mono => selects colors suitable for monochrome displays
74 blackbg => selects a color scheme with black background
75 classic => theme with blue background. The classic look
76 bluetitle => a LCD friendly version of classic. (default)
77
78______________________________________________________________________
79Environment variables in 'menuconfig'
80
81KCONFIG_ALLCONFIG
82--------------------------------------------------
83(partially based on lkml email from/by Rob Landley, re: miniconfig)
84--------------------------------------------------
85The allyesconfig/allmodconfig/allnoconfig/randconfig variants can
86also use the environment variable KCONFIG_ALLCONFIG as a flag or a
87filename that contains config symbols that the user requires to be
88set to a specific value. If KCONFIG_ALLCONFIG is used without a
89filename, "make *config" checks for a file named
90"all{yes/mod/no/random}.config" (corresponding to the *config command
91that was used) for symbol values that are to be forced. If this file
92is not found, it checks for a file named "all.config" to contain forced
93values.
94
95This enables you to create "miniature" config (miniconfig) or custom
96config files containing just the config symbols that you are interested
97in. Then the kernel config system generates the full .config file,
98including dependencies of your miniconfig file, based on the miniconfig
99file.
100
101This 'KCONFIG_ALLCONFIG' file is a config file which contains
102(usually a subset of all) preset config symbols. These variable
103settings are still subject to normal dependency checks.
104
105Examples:
106 KCONFIG_ALLCONFIG=custom-notebook.config make allnoconfig
107or
108 KCONFIG_ALLCONFIG=mini.config make allnoconfig
109or
110 make KCONFIG_ALLCONFIG=mini.config allnoconfig
111
112These examples will disable most options (allnoconfig) but enable or
113disable the options that are explicitly listed in the specified
114mini-config files.
115
116KCONFIG_NOSILENTUPDATE
117--------------------------------------------------
118If this variable has a non-blank value, it prevents silent kernel
119config udpates (requires explicit updates).
120
121KCONFIG_CONFIG
122--------------------------------------------------
123This environment variable can be used to specify a default kernel config
124file name to override the default name of ".config".
125
126KCONFIG_OVERWRITECONFIG
127--------------------------------------------------
128If you set KCONFIG_OVERWRITECONFIG in the environment, Kconfig will not
129break symlinks when .config is a symlink to somewhere else.
130
131KCONFIG_NOTIMESTAMP
132--------------------------------------------------
133If this environment variable exists and is non-null, the timestamp line
134in generated .config files is omitted.
135
136KCONFIG_AUTOCONFIG
137--------------------------------------------------
138This environment variable can be set to specify the path & name of the
139"auto.conf" file. Its default value is "include/config/auto.conf".
140
141KCONFIG_AUTOHEADER
142--------------------------------------------------
143This environment variable can be set to specify the path & name of the
144"autoconf.h" (header) file. Its default value is "include/linux/autoconf.h".
145
146______________________________________________________________________
147menuconfig User Interface Options
148----------------------------------------------------------------------
149MENUCONFIG_MODE
150--------------------------------------------------
151This mode shows all sub-menus in one large tree.
152
153Example:
154 MENUCONFIG_MODE=single_menu make menuconfig
155
156======================================================================
157xconfig
158--------------------------------------------------
159
160Searching in xconfig:
161
162 The Search function searches for kernel configuration symbol
163 names, so you have to know something close to what you are
164 looking for.
165
166 Example:
167 Ctrl-F hotplug
168 or
169 Menu: File, Search, hotplug
170
171 lists all config symbol entries that contain "hotplug" in
172 the symbol name. In this Search dialog, you may change the
173 config setting for any of the entries that are not grayed out.
174 You can also enter a different search string without having
175 to return to the main menu.
176
177
178======================================================================
179gconfig
180--------------------------------------------------
181
182Searching in gconfig:
183
184 None (gconfig isn't maintained as well as xconfig or menuconfig);
185 however, gconfig does have a few more viewing choices than
186 xconfig does.

389 except for warnings/errors.
390 To support this kbuild define $(kecho) which will echo out the
391 text following $(kecho) to stdout except if "make -s" is used.
392
393 Example:
394 #arch/blackfin/boot/Makefile
395 $(obj)/vmImage: $(obj)/vmlinux.gz
396 $(call if_changed,uimage)
397 @$(kecho) 'Kernel: $@ is ready'

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.

1Chelsio S3 iSCSI Driver for Linux
2
3Introduction
4============
5
6The Chelsio T3 ASIC based Adapters (S310, S320, S302, S304, Mezz cards, etc.
7series of products) supports iSCSI acceleration and iSCSI Direct Data Placement
8(DDP) where the hardware handles the expensive byte touching operations, such
9as CRC computation and verification, and direct DMA to the final host memory
10destination:
11
12 - iSCSI PDU digest generation and verification
13
14 On transmitting, Chelsio S3 h/w computes and inserts the Header and
15 Data digest into the PDUs.
16 On receiving, Chelsio S3 h/w computes and verifies the Header and
17 Data digest of the PDUs.
18
19 - Direct Data Placement (DDP)
20
21 S3 h/w can directly place the iSCSI Data-In or Data-Out PDU's
22 payload into pre-posted final destination host-memory buffers based
23 on the Initiator Task Tag (ITT) in Data-In or Target Task Tag (TTT)
24 in Data-Out PDUs.
25
26 - PDU Transmit and Recovery
27
28 On transmitting, S3 h/w accepts the complete PDU (header + data)
29 from the host driver, computes and inserts the digests, decomposes
30 the PDU into multiple TCP segments if necessary, and transmit all
31 the TCP segments onto the wire. It handles TCP retransmission if
32 needed.
33
34 On receving, S3 h/w recovers the iSCSI PDU by reassembling TCP
35 segments, separating the header and data, calculating and verifying
36 the digests, then forwards the header to the host. The payload data,
37 if possible, will be directly placed into the pre-posted host DDP
38 buffer. Otherwise, the payload data will be sent to the host too.
39
40The cxgb3i driver interfaces with open-iscsi initiator and provides the iSCSI
41acceleration through Chelsio hardware wherever applicable.
42
43Using the cxgb3i Driver
44=======================
45
46The following steps need to be taken to accelerates the open-iscsi initiator:
47
481. Load the cxgb3i driver: "modprobe cxgb3i"
49
50 The cxgb3i module registers a new transport class "cxgb3i" with open-iscsi.
51
52 * in the case of recompiling the kernel, the cxgb3i selection is located at
53 Device Drivers
54 SCSI device support --->
55 [*] SCSI low-level drivers --->
56 <M> Chelsio S3xx iSCSI support
57
582. Create an interface file located under /etc/iscsi/ifaces/ for the new
59 transport class "cxgb3i".
60
61 The content of the file should be in the following format:
62 iface.transport_name = cxgb3i
63 iface.net_ifacename = <ethX>
64 iface.ipaddress = <iscsi ip address>
65
66 * if iface.ipaddress is specified, <iscsi ip address> needs to be either the
67 same as the ethX's ip address or an address on the same subnet. Make
68 sure the ip address is unique in the network.
69
703. edit /etc/iscsi/iscsid.conf
71 The default setting for MaxRecvDataSegmentLength (131072) is too big,
72 replace "node.conn[0].iscsi.MaxRecvDataSegmentLength" to be a value no
73 bigger than 15360 (for example 8192):
74
75 node.conn[0].iscsi.MaxRecvDataSegmentLength = 8192
76
77 * The login would fail for a normal session if MaxRecvDataSegmentLength is
78 too big. A error message in the format of
79 "cxgb3i: ERR! MaxRecvSegmentLength <X> too big. Need to be <= <Y>."
80 would be logged to dmesg.
81
824. To direct open-iscsi traffic to go through cxgb3i's accelerated path,
83 "-I <iface file name>" option needs to be specified with most of the
84 iscsiadm command. <iface file name> is the transport interface file created
85 in step 2.

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

1MORE NOTES ON HD-AUDIO DRIVER
2=============================
3 Takashi Iwai <tiwai@suse.de>

6GENERAL
7-------
8
9HD-audio is the new standard on-board audio component on modern PCs
10after AC97. Although Linux has been supporting HD-audio since long
11time ago, there are often problems with new machines. A part of the
12problem is broken BIOS, and the rest is the driver implementation.
13This document explains the brief trouble-shooting and debugging
14methods for the HD-audio hardware.
15
16The HD-audio component consists of two parts: the controller chip and
17the codec chips on the HD-audio bus. Linux provides a single driver
18for all controllers, snd-hda-intel. Although the driver name contains
19a word of a well-known harware vendor, it's not specific to it but for
20all controller chips by other companies. Since the HD-audio
21controllers are supposed to be compatible, the single snd-hda-driver
22should work in most cases. But, not surprisingly, there are known
23bugs and issues specific to each controller type. The snd-hda-intel
24driver has a bunch of workarounds for these as described below.
25
26A controller may have multiple codecs. Usually you have one audio
27codec and optionally one modem codec. In theory, there might be
28multiple audio codecs, e.g. for analog and digital outputs, and the
29driver might not work properly because of conflict of mixer elements.
30This should be fixed in future if such hardware really exists.
31
32The snd-hda-intel driver has several different codec parsers depending
33on the codec. It has a generic parser as a fallback, but this
34functionality is fairly limited until now. Instead of the generic
35parser, usually the codec-specific parser (coded in patch_*.c) is used
36for the codec-specific implementations. The details about the
37codec-specific problems are explained in the later sections.
38
39If you are interested in the deep debugging of HD-audio, read the
40HD-audio specification at first. The specification is found on
41Intel's web page, for example:
42
43- http://www.intel.com/standards/hdaudio/
44
45
46HD-AUDIO CONTROLLER
47-------------------
48
49DMA-Position Problem
50~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
51The most common problem of the controller is the inaccurate DMA
52pointer reporting. The DMA pointer for playback and capture can be
53read in two ways, either via a LPIB register or via a position-buffer
54map. As default the driver tries to read from the io-mapped
55position-buffer, and falls back to LPIB if the position-buffer appears
56dead. However, this detection isn't perfect on some devices. In such
57a case, you can change the default method via `position_fix` option.
58
59`position_fix=1` means to use LPIB method explicitly.
60`position_fix=2` means to use the position-buffer. 0 is the default
61value, the automatic check and fallback to LPIB as described in the
62above. If you get a problem of repeated sounds, this option might
63help.
64
65In addition to that, every controller is known to be broken regarding
66the wake-up timing. It wakes up a few samples before actually
67processing the data on the buffer. This caused a lot of problems, for
68example, with ALSA dmix or JACK. Since 2.6.27 kernel, the driver puts
69an artificial delay to the wake up timing. This delay is controlled
70via `bdl_pos_adj` option.
71
72When `bdl_pos_adj` is a negative value (as default), it's assigned to
73an appropriate value depending on the controller chip. For Intel
74chips, it'd be 1 while it'd be 32 for others. Usually this works.
75Only in case it doesn't work and you get warning messages, you should
76change this parameter to other values.
77
78
79Codec-Probing Problem
80~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
81A less often but a more severe problem is the codec probing. When
82BIOS reports the available codec slots wrongly, the driver gets
83confused and tries to access the non-existing codec slot. This often
84results in the total screw-up, and destructs the further communication
85with the codec chips. The symptom appears usually as error messages
86like:
87------------------------------------------------------------------------
88 hda_intel: azx_get_response timeout, switching to polling mode:
89 last cmd=0x12345678
90 hda_intel: azx_get_response timeout, switching to single_cmd mode:
91 last cmd=0x12345678
92------------------------------------------------------------------------
93
94The first line is a warning, and this is usually relatively harmless.
95It means that the codec response isn't notified via an IRQ. The
96driver uses explicit polling method to read the response. It gives
97very slight CPU overhead, but you'd unlikely notice it.
98
99The second line is, however, a fatal error. If this happens, usually
100it means that something is really wrong. Most likely you are
101accessing a non-existing codec slot.
102
103Thus, if the second error message appears, try to narrow the probed
104codec slots via `probe_mask` option. It's a bitmask, and each bit
105corresponds to the codec slot. For example, to probe only the first
106slot, pass `probe_mask=1`. For the first and the third slots, pass
107`probe_mask=5` (where 5 = 1 | 4), and so on.
108
109Since 2.6.29 kernel, the driver has a more robust probing method, so
110this error might happen rarely, though.
111
112
113Interrupt Handling
114~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
115In rare but some cases, the interrupt isn't properly handled as
116default. You would notice this by the DMA transfer error reported by
117ALSA PCM core, for example. Using MSI might help in such a case.
118Pass `enable_msi=1` option for enabling MSI.
119
120
121HD-AUDIO CODEC
122--------------
123
124Model Option
125~~~~~~~~~~~~
126The most common problem regarding the HD-audio driver is the
127unsupported codec features or the mismatched device configuration.
128Most of codec-specific code has several preset models, either to
129override the BIOS setup or to provide more comprehensive features.
130
131The driver checks PCI SSID and looks through the static configuration
132table until any matching entry is found. If you have a new machine,
133you may see a message like below:
134------------------------------------------------------------------------
135 hda_codec: Unknown model for ALC880, trying auto-probe from BIOS...
136------------------------------------------------------------------------
137Even if you see such a message, DON'T PANIC. Take a deep breath and
138keep your towel. First of all, it's an informational message, no
139warning, no error. This means that the PCI SSID of your device isn't
140listed in the known preset model (white-)list. But, this doesn't mean
141that the driver is broken. Many codec-drivers provide the automatic
142configuration mechanism based on the BIOS setup.
143
144The HD-audio codec has usually "pin" widgets, and BIOS sets the default
145configuration of each pin, which indicates the location, the
146connection type, the jack color, etc. The HD-audio driver can guess
147the right connection judging from these default configuration values.
148However -- some codec-support codes, such as patch_analog.c, don't
149support the automatic probing (yet as of 2.6.28). And, BIOS is often,
150yes, pretty often broken. It sets up wrong values and screws up the
151driver.
152
153The preset model is provided basically to overcome such a situation.
154When the matching preset model is found in the white-list, the driver
155assumes the static configuration of that preset and builds the mixer
156elements and PCM streams based on the static information. Thus, if
157you have a newer machine with a slightly different PCI SSID from the
158existing one, you may have a good chance to re-use the same model.
159You can pass the `model` option to specify the preset model instead of
160PCI SSID look-up.
161
162What `model` option values are available depends on the codec chip.
163Check your codec chip from the codec proc file (see "Codec Proc-File"
164section below). It will show the vendor/product name of your codec
165chip. Then, see Documentation/sound/alsa/HD-Audio-Modelstxt file,
166the section of HD-audio driver. You can find a list of codecs
167and `model` options belonging to each codec. For example, for Realtek
168ALC262 codec chip, pass `model=ultra` for devices that are compatible
169with Samsung Q1 Ultra.
170
171Thus, the first thing you can do for any brand-new, unsupported and
172non-working HD-audio hardware is to check HD-audio codec and several
173different `model` option values. If you have a luck, some of them
174might suit with your device well.
175
176Some codecs such as ALC880 have a special model option `model=test`.
177This configures the driver to provide as many mixer controls as
178possible for every single pin feature except for the unsolicited
179events (and maybe some other specials). Adjust each mixer element and
180try the I/O in the way of trial-and-error until figuring out the whole
181I/O pin mappings.
182
183Note that `model=generic` has a special meaning. It means to use the
184generic parser regardless of the codec. Usually the codec-specific
185parser is much better than the generic parser (as now). Thus this
186option is more about the debugging purpose.
187
188
189Speaker and Headphone Output
190~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
191One of the most frequent (and obvious) bugs with HD-audio is the
192silent output from either or both of a built-in speaker and a
193headphone jack. In general, you should try a headphone output at
194first. A speaker output often requires more additional controls like
195the external amplifier bits. Thus a headphone output has a slightly
196better chance.
197
198Before making a bug report, double-check whether the mixer is set up
199correctly. The recent version of snd-hda-intel driver provides mostly
200"Master" volume control as well as "Front" volume (where Front
201indicates the front-channels). In addition, there can be individual
202"Headphone" and "Speaker" controls.
203
204Ditto for the speaker output. There can be "External Amplifier"
205switch on some codecs. Turn on this if present.
206
207Another related problem is the automatic mute of speaker output by
208headphone plugging. This feature is implemented in most cases, but
209not on every preset model or codec-support code.
210
211In anyway, try a different model option if you have such a problem.
212Some other models may match better and give you more matching
213functionality. If none of the available models works, send a bug
214report. See the bug report section for details.
215
216If you are masochistic enough to debug the driver problem, note the
217following:
218
219- The speaker (and the headphone, too) output often requires the
220 external amplifier. This can be set usually via EAPD verb or a
221 certain GPIO. If the codec pin supports EAPD, you have a better
222 chance via SET_EAPD_BTL verb (0x70c). On others, GPIO pin (mostly
223 it's either GPIO0 or GPIO1) may turn on/off EAPD.
224- Some Realtek codecs require special vendor-specific coefficients to
225 turn on the amplifier. See patch_realtek.c.
226- IDT codecs may have extra power-enable/disable controls on each
227 analog pin. See patch_sigmatel.c.
228- Very rare but some devices don't accept the pin-detection verb until
229 triggered. Issuing GET_PIN_SENSE verb (0xf09) may result in the
230 codec-communication stall. Some examples are found in
231 patch_realtek.c.
232
233
234Capture Problems
235~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
236The capture problems are often because of missing setups of mixers.
237Thus, before submitting a bug report, make sure that you set up the
238mixer correctly. For example, both "Capture Volume" and "Capture
239Switch" have to be set properly in addition to the right "Capture
240Source" or "Input Source" selection. Some devices have "Mic Boost"
241volume or switch.
242
243When the PCM device is opened via "default" PCM (without pulse-audio
244plugin), you'll likely have "Digital Capture Volume" control as well.
245This is provided for the extra gain/attenuation of the signal in
246software, especially for the inputs without the hardware volume
247control such as digital microphones. Unless really needed, this
248should be set to exactly 50%, corresponding to 0dB -- neither extra
249gain nor attenuation. When you use "hw" PCM, i.e., a raw access PCM,
250this control will have no influence, though.
251
252It's known that some codecs / devices have fairly bad analog circuits,
253and the recorded sound contains a certain DC-offset. This is no bug
254of the driver.
255
256Most of modern laptops have no analog CD-input connection. Thus, the
257recording from CD input won't work in many cases although the driver
258provides it as the capture source. Use CDDA instead.
259
260The automatic switching of the built-in and external mic per plugging
261is implemented on some codec models but not on every model. Partly
262because of my laziness but mostly lack of testers. Feel free to
263submit the improvement patch to the author.
264
265
266Direct Debugging
267~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
268If no model option gives you a better result, and you are a tough guy
269to fight against evil, try debugging via hitting the raw HD-audio
270codec verbs to the device. Some tools are available: hda-emu and
271hda-analyzer. The detailed description is found in the sections
272below. You'd need to enable hwdep for using these tools. See "Kernel
273Configuration" section.
274
275
276OTHER ISSUES
277------------
278
279Kernel Configuration
280~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
281In general, I recommend you to enable the sound debug option,
282`CONFIG_SND_DEBUG=y`, no matter whether you are debugging or not.
283This enables snd_printd() macro and others, and you'll get additional
284kernel messages at probing.
285
286In addition, you can enable `CONFIG_SND_DEBUG_VERBOSE=y`. But this
287will give you far more messages. Thus turn this on only when you are
288sure to want it.
289
290Don't forget to turn on the appropriate `CONFIG_SND_HDA_CODEC_*`
291options. Note that each of them corresponds to the codec chip, not
292the controller chip. Thus, even if lspci shows the Nvidia controller,
293you may need to choose the option for other vendors. If you are
294unsure, just select all yes.
295
296`CONFIG_SND_HDA_HWDEP` is a useful option for debugging the driver.
297When this is enabled, the driver creates hardware-dependent devices
298(one per each codec), and you have a raw access to the device via
299these device files. For example, `hwC0D2` will be created for the
300codec slot #2 of the first card (#0). For debug-tools such as
301hda-verb and hda-analyzer, the hwdep device has to be enabled.
302Thus, it'd be better to turn this on always.
303
304`CONFIG_SND_HDA_RECONFIG` is a new option, and this depends on the
305hwdep option above. When enabled, you'll have some sysfs files under
306the corresponding hwdep directory. See "HD-audio reconfiguration"
307section below.
308
309`CONFIG_SND_HDA_POWER_SAVE` option enables the power-saving feature.
310See "Power-saving" section below.

315The codec proc-file is a treasure-chest for debugging HD-audio.
316It shows most of useful information of each codec widget.
317
318The proc file is located in /proc/asound/card*/codec#*, one file per
319each codec slot. You can know the codec vendor, product id and
320names, the type of each widget, capabilities and so on.
321This file, however, doesn't show the jack sensing state, so far. This
322is because the jack-sensing might be depending on the trigger state.
323
324This file will be picked up by the debug tools, and also it can be fed
325to the emulator as the primary codec information. See the debug tools
326section below.
327
328This proc file can be also used to check whether the generic parser is
329used. When the generic parser is used, the vendor/product ID name
330will appear as "Realtek ID 0262", instead of "Realtek ALC262".
331
332
333HD-Audio Reconfiguration
334~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
335This is an experimental feature to allow you re-configure the HD-audio
336codec dynamically without reloading the driver. The following sysfs
337files are available under each codec-hwdep device directory (e.g.
338/sys/class/sound/hwC0D0):
339
340vendor_id::
341 Shows the 32bit codec vendor-id hex number. You can change the
342 vendor-id value by writing to this file.
343subsystem_id::
344 Shows the 32bit codec subsystem-id hex number. You can change the
345 subsystem-id value by writing to this file.
346revision_id::
347 Shows the 32bit codec revision-id hex number. You can change the
348 revision-id value by writing to this file.
349afg::
350 Shows the AFG ID. This is read-only.
351mfg::
352 Shows the MFG ID. This is read-only.
353name::
354 Shows the codec name string. Can be changed by writing to this
355 file.
356modelname::
357 Shows the currently set `model` option. Can be changed by writing
358 to this file.
359init_verbs::
360 The extra verbs to execute at initialization. You can add a verb by
361 writing to this file. Pass tree numbers, nid, verb and parameter.
362hints::
363 Shows hint strings for codec parsers for any use. Right now it's
364 not used.
365reconfig::
366 Triggers the codec re-configuration. When any value is written to
367 this file, the driver re-initialize and parses the codec tree
368 again. All the changes done by the sysfs entries above are taken
369 into account.
370clear::
371 Resets the codec, removes the mixer elements and PCM stuff of the
372 specified codec, and clear all init verbs and hints.
373
374
375Power-Saving
376~~~~~~~~~~~~
377The power-saving is a kind of auto-suspend of the device. When the
378device is inactive for a certain time, the device is automatically
379turned off to save the power. The time to go down is specified via
380`power_save` module option, and this option can be changed dynamically
381via sysfs.
382
383The power-saving won't work when the analog loopback is enabled on
384some codecs. Make sure that you mute all unneeded signal routes when
385you want the power-saving.
386
387The power-saving feature might cause audible click noises at each
388power-down/up depending on the device. Some of them might be
389solvable, but some are hard, I'm afraid. Some distros such as
390openSUSE enables the power-saving feature automatically when the power
391cable is unplugged. Thus, if you hear noises, suspect first the
392power-saving. See /sys/module/snd_hda_intel/parameters/power_save to
393check the current value. If it's non-zero, the feature is turned on.
394
395
396Development Tree
397~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
398The latest development codes for HD-audio are found on sound git tree:
399
400- git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tiwai/sound-2.6.git
401
402The master branch or for-next branches can be used as the main
403development branches in general while the HD-audio specific patches
404are committed in topic/hda branch.
405
406If you are using the latest Linus tree, it'd be better to pull the
407above GIT tree onto it. If you are using the older kernels, an easy
408way to try the latest ALSA code is to build from the snapshot
409tarball. There are daily tarballs and the latest snapshot tarball.
410All can be built just like normal alsa-driver release packages, that
411is, installed via the usual spells: configure, make and make
412install(-modules). See INSTALL in the package. The snapshot tarballs
413are found at:
414
415- ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/tiwai/snapshot/
416
417
418Sending a Bug Report
419~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
420If any model or module options don't work for your device, it's time
421to send a bug report to the developers. Give the following in your
422bug report:
423
424- Hardware vendor, product and model names
425- Kernel version (and ALSA-driver version if you built externally)
426- `alsa-info.sh` output; run with `--no-upload` option. See the
427 section below about alsa-info
428
429If it's a regression, at best, send alsa-info outputs of both working
430and non-working kernels. This is really helpful because we can
431compare the codec registers directly.
432
433Send a bug report either the followings:
434
435kernel-bugzilla::
436 http://bugme.linux-foundation.org/
437alsa-devel ML::
438 alsa-devel@alsa-project.org

441DEBUG TOOLS
442-----------
443
444This section describes some tools available for debugging HD-audio
445problems.
446
447alsa-info
448~~~~~~~~~
449The script `alsa-info.sh` is a very useful tool to gather the audio
450device information. You can fetch the latest version from:
451
452- http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-info.sh
453
454Run this script as root, and it will gather the important information
455such as the module lists, module parameters, proc file contents
456including the codec proc files, mixer outputs and the control
457elements. As default, it will store the information onto a web server
458on alsa-project.org. But, if you send a bug report, it'd be better to
459run with `--no-upload` option, and attach the generated file.
460
461There are some other useful options. See `--help` option output for
462details.
463
464
465hda-verb
466~~~~~~~~
467hda-verb is a tiny program that allows you to access the HD-audio
468codec directly. You can execute a raw HD-audio codec verb with this.
469This program accesses the hwdep device, thus you need to enable the
470kernel config `CONFIG_SND_HDA_HWDEP=y` beforehand.
471
472The hda-verb program takes four arguments: the hwdep device file, the
473widget NID, the verb and the parameter. When you access to the codec
474on the slot 2 of the card 0, pass /dev/snd/hwC0D2 to the first
475argument, typically. (However, the real path name depends on the
476system.)
477
478The second parameter is the widget number-id to access. The third
479parameter can be either a hex/digit number or a string corresponding
480to a verb. Similarly, the last parameter is the value to write, or
481can be a string for the parameter type.
482
483------------------------------------------------------------------------
484 % hda-verb /dev/snd/hwC0D0 0x12 0x701 2
485 nid = 0x12, verb = 0x701, param = 0x2
486 value = 0x0
487
488 % hda-verb /dev/snd/hwC0D0 0x0 PARAMETERS VENDOR_ID
489 nid = 0x0, verb = 0xf00, param = 0x0
490 value = 0x10ec0262
491
492 % hda-verb /dev/snd/hwC0D0 2 set_a 0xb080
493 nid = 0x2, verb = 0x300, param = 0xb080
494 value = 0x0
495------------------------------------------------------------------------
496
497Although you can issue any verbs with this program, the driver state
498won't be always updated. For example, the volume values are usually
499cached in the driver, and thus changing the widget amp value directly
500via hda-verb won't change the mixer value.
501
502The hda-verb program is found in the ftp directory:
503
504- ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/tiwai/misc/
505
506Also a git repository is available:
507
508- git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tiwai/hda-verb.git
509
510See README file in the tarball for more details about hda-verb
511program.
512
513
514hda-analyzer
515~~~~~~~~~~~~
516hda-analyzer provides a graphical interface to access the raw HD-audio
517control, based on pyGTK2 binding. It's a more powerful version of
518hda-verb. The program gives you an easy-to-use GUI stuff for showing
519the widget information and adjusting the amp values, as well as the
520proc-compatible output.
521
522The hda-analyzer is a part of alsa.git repository in
523alsa-project.org:
524
525- http://git.alsa-project.org/?p=alsa.git;a=tree;f=hda-analyzer
526
527
528Codecgraph
529~~~~~~~~~~
530Codecgraph is a utility program to generate a graph and visualizes the
531codec-node connection of a codec chip. It's especially useful when
532you analyze or debug a codec without a proper datasheet. The program
533parses the given codec proc file and converts to SVG via graphiz
534program.
535
536The tarball and GIT trees are found in the web page at:
537
538- http://helllabs.org/codecgraph/
539
540
541hda-emu
542~~~~~~~
543hda-emu is an HD-audio emulator. The main purpose of this program is
544to debug an HD-audio codec without the real hardware. Thus, it
545doesn't emulate the behavior with the real audio I/O, but it just
546dumps the codec register changes and the ALSA-driver internal changes
547at probing and operating the HD-audio driver.
548
549The program requires a codec proc-file to simulate. Get a proc file
550for the target codec beforehand, or pick up an example codec from the
551codec proc collections in the tarball. Then, run the program with the
552proc file, and the hda-emu program will start parsing the codec file
553and simulates the HD-audio driver:
554
555------------------------------------------------------------------------
556 % hda-emu codecs/stac9200-dell-d820-laptop
557 # Parsing..
558 hda_codec: Unknown model for STAC9200, using BIOS defaults
559 hda_codec: pin nid 08 bios pin config 40c003fa
560 ....
561------------------------------------------------------------------------
562
563The program gives you only a very dumb command-line interface. You
564can get a proc-file dump at the current state, get a list of control
565(mixer) elements, set/get the control element value, simulate the PCM
566operation, the jack plugging simulation, etc.
567
568The package is found in:
569
570- ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/tiwai/misc/
571
572A git repository is available:
573
574- git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tiwai/hda-emu.git
575
576See README file in the tarball for more details about hda-emu
577program.

1Overview of the V4L2 driver framework
2=====================================
3
4This text documents the various structures provided by the V4L2 framework and
5their relationships.
6
7
8Introduction
9------------
10
11The V4L2 drivers tend to be very complex due to the complexity of the
12hardware: most devices have multiple ICs, export multiple device nodes in
13/dev, and create also non-V4L2 devices such as DVB, ALSA, FB, I2C and input
14(IR) devices.
15
16Especially the fact that V4L2 drivers have to setup supporting ICs to
17do audio/video muxing/encoding/decoding makes it more complex than most.
18Usually these ICs are connected to the main bridge driver through one or
19more I2C busses, but other busses can also be used. Such devices are
20called 'sub-devices'.
21
22For a long time the framework was limited to the video_device struct for
23creating V4L device nodes and video_buf for handling the video buffers
24(note that this document does not discuss the video_buf framework).
25
26This meant that all drivers had to do the setup of device instances and
27connecting to sub-devices themselves. Some of this is quite complicated
28to do right and many drivers never did do it correctly.
29
30There is also a lot of common code that could never be refactored due to
31the lack of a framework.
32
33So this framework sets up the basic building blocks that all drivers
34need and this same framework should make it much easier to refactor
35common code into utility functions shared by all drivers.
36
37
38Structure of a driver
39---------------------
40
41All drivers have the following structure:
42
431) A struct for each device instance containing the device state.
44
452) A way of initializing and commanding sub-devices (if any).
46
473) Creating V4L2 device nodes (/dev/videoX, /dev/vbiX, /dev/radioX and
48 /dev/vtxX) and keeping track of device-node specific data.
49
504) Filehandle-specific structs containing per-filehandle data.
51
52This is a rough schematic of how it all relates:
53
54 device instances
55 |
56 +-sub-device instances
57 |
58 \-V4L2 device nodes
59 |
60 \-filehandle instances
61
62
63Structure of the framework
64--------------------------
65
66The framework closely resembles the driver structure: it has a v4l2_device
67struct for the device instance data, a v4l2_subdev struct to refer to
68sub-device instances, the video_device struct stores V4L2 device node data
69and in the future a v4l2_fh struct will keep track of filehandle instances
70(this is not yet implemented).
71
72
73struct v4l2_device
74------------------
75
76Each device instance is represented by a struct v4l2_device (v4l2-device.h).
77Very simple devices can just allocate this struct, but most of the time you
78would embed this struct inside a larger struct.
79
80You must register the device instance:
81
82 v4l2_device_register(struct device *dev, struct v4l2_device *v4l2_dev);
83
84Registration will initialize the v4l2_device struct and link dev->driver_data
85to v4l2_dev. Registration will also set v4l2_dev->name to a value derived from
86dev (driver name followed by the bus_id, to be precise). You may change the
87name after registration if you want.
88
89The first 'dev' argument is normally the struct device pointer of a pci_dev,
90usb_device or platform_device.
91
92You unregister with:
93
94 v4l2_device_unregister(struct v4l2_device *v4l2_dev);
95
96Unregistering will also automatically unregister all subdevs from the device.
97
98Sometimes you need to iterate over all devices registered by a specific
99driver. This is usually the case if multiple device drivers use the same
100hardware. E.g. the ivtvfb driver is a framebuffer driver that uses the ivtv
101hardware. The same is true for alsa drivers for example.
102
103You can iterate over all registered devices as follows:
104
105static int callback(struct device *dev, void *p)
106{
107 struct v4l2_device *v4l2_dev = dev_get_drvdata(dev);
108
109 /* test if this device was inited */
110 if (v4l2_dev == NULL)
111 return 0;
112 ...
113 return 0;
114}
115
116int iterate(void *p)
117{
118 struct device_driver *drv;
119 int err;
120
121 /* Find driver 'ivtv' on the PCI bus.
122 pci_bus_type is a global. For USB busses use usb_bus_type. */
123 drv = driver_find("ivtv", &pci_bus_type);
124 /* iterate over all ivtv device instances */
125 err = driver_for_each_device(drv, NULL, p, callback);
126 put_driver(drv);
127 return err;
128}
129
130Sometimes you need to keep a running counter of the device instance. This is
131commonly used to map a device instance to an index of a module option array.
132
133The recommended approach is as follows:
134
135static atomic_t drv_instance = ATOMIC_INIT(0);
136
137static int __devinit drv_probe(struct pci_dev *dev,
138 const struct pci_device_id *pci_id)
139{
140 ...
141 state->instance = atomic_inc_return(&drv_instance) - 1;
142}
143
144
145struct v4l2_subdev
146------------------
147
148Many drivers need to communicate with sub-devices. These devices can do all
149sort of tasks, but most commonly they handle audio and/or video muxing,
150encoding or decoding. For webcams common sub-devices are sensors and camera
151controllers.
152
153Usually these are I2C devices, but not necessarily. In order to provide the
154driver with a consistent interface to these sub-devices the v4l2_subdev struct
155(v4l2-subdev.h) was created.
156
157Each sub-device driver must have a v4l2_subdev struct. This struct can be
158stand-alone for simple sub-devices or it might be embedded in a larger struct
159if more state information needs to be stored. Usually there is a low-level
160device struct (e.g. i2c_client) that contains the device data as setup
161by the kernel. It is recommended to store that pointer in the private
162data of v4l2_subdev using v4l2_set_subdevdata(). That makes it easy to go
163from a v4l2_subdev to the actual low-level bus-specific device data.
164
165You also need a way to go from the low-level struct to v4l2_subdev. For the
166common i2c_client struct the i2c_set_clientdata() call is used to store a
167v4l2_subdev pointer, for other busses you may have to use other methods.
168
169From the bridge driver perspective you load the sub-device module and somehow
170obtain the v4l2_subdev pointer. For i2c devices this is easy: you call
171i2c_get_clientdata(). For other busses something similar needs to be done.
172Helper functions exists for sub-devices on an I2C bus that do most of this
173tricky work for you.
174
175Each v4l2_subdev contains function pointers that sub-device drivers can
176implement (or leave NULL if it is not applicable). Since sub-devices can do
177so many different things and you do not want to end up with a huge ops struct
178of which only a handful of ops are commonly implemented, the function pointers
179are sorted according to category and each category has its own ops struct.
180
181The top-level ops struct contains pointers to the category ops structs, which
182may be NULL if the subdev driver does not support anything from that category.
183
184It looks like this:
185
186struct v4l2_subdev_core_ops {
187 int (*g_chip_ident)(struct v4l2_subdev *sd, struct v4l2_chip_ident *chip);
188 int (*log_status)(struct v4l2_subdev *sd);
189 int (*init)(struct v4l2_subdev *sd, u32 val);
190 ...
191};
192
193struct v4l2_subdev_tuner_ops {
194 ...
195};
196
197struct v4l2_subdev_audio_ops {
198 ...
199};
200
201struct v4l2_subdev_video_ops {
202 ...
203};
204
205struct v4l2_subdev_ops {
206 const struct v4l2_subdev_core_ops *core;
207 const struct v4l2_subdev_tuner_ops *tuner;
208 const struct v4l2_subdev_audio_ops *audio;
209 const struct v4l2_subdev_video_ops *video;
210};
211
212The core ops are common to all subdevs, the other categories are implemented
213depending on the sub-device. E.g. a video device is unlikely to support the
214audio ops and vice versa.
215
216This setup limits the number of function pointers while still making it easy
217to add new ops and categories.
218
219A sub-device driver initializes the v4l2_subdev struct using:
220
221 v4l2_subdev_init(subdev, &ops);
222
223Afterwards you need to initialize subdev->name with a unique name and set the
224module owner. This is done for you if you use the i2c helper functions.
225
226A device (bridge) driver needs to register the v4l2_subdev with the
227v4l2_device:
228
229 int err = v4l2_device_register_subdev(device, subdev);
230
231This can fail if the subdev module disappeared before it could be registered.
232After this function was called successfully the subdev->dev field points to
233the v4l2_device.
234
235You can unregister a sub-device using:
236
237 v4l2_device_unregister_subdev(subdev);
238
239Afterwards the subdev module can be unloaded and subdev->dev == NULL.
240
241You can call an ops function either directly:
242
243 err = subdev->ops->core->g_chip_ident(subdev, &chip);
244
245but it is better and easier to use this macro:
246
247 err = v4l2_subdev_call(subdev, core, g_chip_ident, &chip);
248
249The macro will to the right NULL pointer checks and returns -ENODEV if subdev
250is NULL, -ENOIOCTLCMD if either subdev->core or subdev->core->g_chip_ident is
251NULL, or the actual result of the subdev->ops->core->g_chip_ident ops.
252
253It is also possible to call all or a subset of the sub-devices:
254
255 v4l2_device_call_all(dev, 0, core, g_chip_ident, &chip);
256
257Any subdev that does not support this ops is skipped and error results are
258ignored. If you want to check for errors use this:
259
260 err = v4l2_device_call_until_err(dev, 0, core, g_chip_ident, &chip);
261
262Any error except -ENOIOCTLCMD will exit the loop with that error. If no
263errors (except -ENOIOCTLCMD) occured, then 0 is returned.
264
265The second argument to both calls is a group ID. If 0, then all subdevs are
266called. If non-zero, then only those whose group ID match that value will
267be called. Before a bridge driver registers a subdev it can set subdev->grp_id
268to whatever value it wants (it's 0 by default). This value is owned by the
269bridge driver and the sub-device driver will never modify or use it.
270
271The group ID gives the bridge driver more control how callbacks are called.
272For example, there may be multiple audio chips on a board, each capable of
273changing the volume. But usually only one will actually be used when the
274user want to change the volume. You can set the group ID for that subdev to
275e.g. AUDIO_CONTROLLER and specify that as the group ID value when calling
276v4l2_device_call_all(). That ensures that it will only go to the subdev
277that needs it.
278
279The advantage of using v4l2_subdev is that it is a generic struct and does
280not contain any knowledge about the underlying hardware. So a driver might
281contain several subdevs that use an I2C bus, but also a subdev that is
282controlled through GPIO pins. This distinction is only relevant when setting
283up the device, but once the subdev is registered it is completely transparent.
284
285
286I2C sub-device drivers
287----------------------
288
289Since these drivers are so common, special helper functions are available to
290ease the use of these drivers (v4l2-common.h).
291
292The recommended method of adding v4l2_subdev support to an I2C driver is to
293embed the v4l2_subdev struct into the state struct that is created for each
294I2C device instance. Very simple devices have no state struct and in that case
295you can just create a v4l2_subdev directly.
296
297A typical state struct would look like this (where 'chipname' is replaced by
298the name of the chip):
299
300struct chipname_state {
301 struct v4l2_subdev sd;
302 ... /* additional state fields */
303};
304
305Initialize the v4l2_subdev struct as follows:
306
307 v4l2_i2c_subdev_init(&state->sd, client, subdev_ops);
308
309This function will fill in all the fields of v4l2_subdev and ensure that the
310v4l2_subdev and i2c_client both point to one another.
311
312You should also add a helper inline function to go from a v4l2_subdev pointer
313to a chipname_state struct:
314
315static inline struct chipname_state *to_state(struct v4l2_subdev *sd)
316{
317 return container_of(sd, struct chipname_state, sd);
318}
319
320Use this to go from the v4l2_subdev struct to the i2c_client struct:
321
322 struct i2c_client *client = v4l2_get_subdevdata(sd);
323
324And this to go from an i2c_client to a v4l2_subdev struct:
325
326 struct v4l2_subdev *sd = i2c_get_clientdata(client);
327
328Finally you need to make a command function to make driver->command()
329call the right subdev_ops functions:
330
331static int subdev_command(struct i2c_client *client, unsigned cmd, void *arg)
332{
333 return v4l2_subdev_command(i2c_get_clientdata(client), cmd, arg);
334}
335
336If driver->command is never used then you can leave this out. Eventually the
337driver->command usage should be removed from v4l.
338
339Make sure to call v4l2_device_unregister_subdev(sd) when the remove() callback
340is called. This will unregister the sub-device from the bridge driver. It is
341safe to call this even if the sub-device was never registered.
342
343
344The bridge driver also has some helper functions it can use:
345
346struct v4l2_subdev *sd = v4l2_i2c_new_subdev(adapter, "module_foo", "chipid", 0x36);
347
348This loads the given module (can be NULL if no module needs to be loaded) and
349calls i2c_new_device() with the given i2c_adapter and chip/address arguments.
350If all goes well, then it registers the subdev with the v4l2_device. It gets
351the v4l2_device by calling i2c_get_adapdata(adapter), so you should make sure
352that adapdata is set to v4l2_device when you setup the i2c_adapter in your
353driver.
354
355You can also use v4l2_i2c_new_probed_subdev() which is very similar to
356v4l2_i2c_new_subdev(), except that it has an array of possible I2C addresses
357that it should probe. Internally it calls i2c_new_probed_device().
358
359Both functions return NULL if something went wrong.
360
361
362struct video_device
363-------------------
364
365The actual device nodes in the /dev directory are created using the
366video_device struct (v4l2-dev.h). This struct can either be allocated
367dynamically or embedded in a larger struct.
368
369To allocate it dynamically use:
370
371 struct video_device *vdev = video_device_alloc();
372
373 if (vdev == NULL)
374 return -ENOMEM;
375
376 vdev->release = video_device_release;
377
378If you embed it in a larger struct, then you must set the release()
379callback to your own function:
380
381 struct video_device *vdev = &my_vdev->vdev;
382
383 vdev->release = my_vdev_release;
384
385The release callback must be set and it is called when the last user
386of the video device exits.
387
388The default video_device_release() callback just calls kfree to free the
389allocated memory.
390
391You should also set these fields:
392
393- parent: set to the parent device (same device as was used to register
394 v4l2_device).
395- name: set to something descriptive and unique.
396- fops: set to the file_operations struct.
397- ioctl_ops: if you use the v4l2_ioctl_ops to simplify ioctl maintenance
398 (highly recommended to use this and it might become compulsory in the
399 future!), then set this to your v4l2_ioctl_ops struct.
400
401If you use v4l2_ioctl_ops, then you should set .unlocked_ioctl to
402__video_ioctl2 or .ioctl to video_ioctl2 in your file_operations struct.
403
404
405video_device registration
406-------------------------
407
408Next you register the video device: this will create the character device
409for you.
410
411 err = video_register_device(vdev, VFL_TYPE_GRABBER, -1);
412 if (err) {
413 video_device_release(vdev); // or kfree(my_vdev);
414 return err;
415 }
416
417Which device is registered depends on the type argument. The following
418types exist:
419
420VFL_TYPE_GRABBER: videoX for video input/output devices
421VFL_TYPE_VBI: vbiX for vertical blank data (i.e. closed captions, teletext)
422VFL_TYPE_RADIO: radioX for radio tuners
423VFL_TYPE_VTX: vtxX for teletext devices (deprecated, don't use)
424
425The last argument gives you a certain amount of control over the device
426kernel number used (i.e. the X in videoX). Normally you will pass -1 to
427let the v4l2 framework pick the first free number. But if a driver creates
428many devices, then it can be useful to have different video devices in
429separate ranges. For example, video capture devices start at 0, video
430output devices start at 16.
431
432So you can use the last argument to specify a minimum kernel number and
433the v4l2 framework will try to pick the first free number that is equal
434or higher to what you passed. If that fails, then it will just pick the
435first free number.
436
437Whenever a device node is created some attributes are also created for you.
438If you look in /sys/class/video4linux you see the devices. Go into e.g.
439video0 and you will see 'name' and 'index' attributes. The 'name' attribute
440is the 'name' field of the video_device struct. The 'index' attribute is
441a device node index that can be assigned by the driver, or that is calculated
442for you.
443
444If you call video_register_device(), then the index is just increased by
4451 for each device node you register. The first video device node you register
446always starts off with 0.
447
448Alternatively you can call video_register_device_index() which is identical
449to video_register_device(), but with an extra index argument. Here you can
450pass a specific index value (between 0 and 31) that should be used.
451
452Users can setup udev rules that utilize the index attribute to make fancy
453device names (e.g. 'mpegX' for MPEG video capture device nodes).
454
455After the device was successfully registered, then you can use these fields:
456
457- vfl_type: the device type passed to video_register_device.
458- minor: the assigned device minor number.
459- num: the device kernel number (i.e. the X in videoX).
460- index: the device index number (calculated or set explicitly using
461 video_register_device_index).
462
463If the registration failed, then you need to call video_device_release()
464to free the allocated video_device struct, or free your own struct if the
465video_device was embedded in it. The vdev->release() callback will never
466be called if the registration failed, nor should you ever attempt to
467unregister the device if the registration failed.
468
469
470video_device cleanup
471--------------------
472
473When the video device nodes have to be removed, either during the unload
474of the driver or because the USB device was disconnected, then you should
475unregister them:
476
477 video_unregister_device(vdev);
478
479This will remove the device nodes from sysfs (causing udev to remove them
480from /dev).
481
482After video_unregister_device() returns no new opens can be done.
483
484However, in the case of USB devices some application might still have one
485of these device nodes open. You should block all new accesses to read,
486write, poll, etc. except possibly for certain ioctl operations like
487queueing buffers.
488
489When the last user of the video device node exits, then the vdev->release()
490callback is called and you can do the final cleanup there.
491
492
493video_device helper functions
494-----------------------------
495
496There are a few useful helper functions:
497
498You can set/get driver private data in the video_device struct using:
499
500void *video_get_drvdata(struct video_device *dev);
501void video_set_drvdata(struct video_device *dev, void *data);
502
503Note that you can safely call video_set_drvdata() before calling
504video_register_device().
505
506And this function:
507
508struct video_device *video_devdata(struct file *file);
509
510returns the video_device belonging to the file struct.
511
512The final helper function combines video_get_drvdata with
513video_devdata:
514
515void *video_drvdata(struct file *file);
516
517You can go from a video_device struct to the v4l2_device struct using:
518
519struct v4l2_device *v4l2_dev = dev_get_drvdata(vdev->parent);

83Advanced APIs for drivers
84-------------------------
85A. Exporting pages to users with remap_pfn_range, io_remap_pfn_range,
86vm_insert_pfn
87
88Drivers wanting to export some pages to userspace do it by using mmap
89interface and a combination of
901) pgprot_noncached()
912) io_remap_pfn_range() or remap_pfn_range() or vm_insert_pfn()
92
93With PAT support, a new API pgprot_writecombine is being added. So, drivers can
94continue to use the above sequence, with either pgprot_noncached() or
95pgprot_writecombine() in step 1, followed by step 2.
96
97In addition, step 2 internally tracks the region as UC or WC in memtype
98list in order to ensure no conflicting mapping.
99
100Note that this set of APIs only works with IO (non RAM) regions. If driver
101wants to export a RAM region, it has to do set_memory_uc() or set_memory_wc()
102as step 0 above and also track the usage of those pages and use set_memory_wb()
103before the page is freed to free pool.
