1 | S3C24XX CPUfreq support | ||
2 | ======================= | ||
3 | |||
4 | Introduction | ||
5 | ------------ | ||
6 | |||
7 | The S3C24XX series support a number of power saving systems, such as | ||
8 | the ability to change the core, memory and peripheral operating | ||
9 | frequencies. The core control is exported via the CPUFreq driver | ||
10 | which has a number of different manual or automatic controls over the | ||
11 | rate the core is running at. | ||
12 | |||
13 | There are two forms of the driver depending on the specific CPU and | ||
14 | how the clocks are arranged. The first implementation used as single | ||
15 | PLL to feed the ARM, memory and peripherals via a series of dividers | ||
16 | and muxes and this is the implementation that is documented here. A | ||
17 | newer version where there is a seperate PLL and clock divider for the | ||
18 | ARM core is available as a seperate driver. | ||
19 | |||
20 | |||
21 | Layout | ||
22 | ------ | ||
23 | |||
24 | The code core manages the CPU specific drivers, any data that they | ||
25 | need to register and the interface to the generic drivers/cpufreq | ||
26 | system. Each CPU registers a driver to control the PLL, clock dividers | ||
27 | and anything else associated with it. Any board that wants to use this | ||
28 | framework needs to supply at least basic details of what is required. | ||
29 | |||
30 | The core registers with drivers/cpufreq at init time if all the data | ||
31 | necessary has been supplied. | ||
32 | |||
33 | |||
34 | CPU support | ||
35 | ----------- | ||
36 | |||
37 | The support for each CPU depends on the facilities provided by the | ||
38 | SoC and the driver as each device has different PLL and clock chains | ||
39 | associated with it. | ||
40 | |||
41 | |||
42 | Slow Mode | ||
43 | --------- | ||
44 | |||
45 | The SLOW mode where the PLL is turned off altogether and the | ||
46 | system is fed by the external crystal input is currently not | ||
47 | supported. | ||
48 | |||
49 | |||
50 | sysfs | ||
51 | ----- | ||
52 | |||
53 | The core code exports extra information via sysfs in the directory | ||
54 | devices/system/cpu/cpu0/arch-freq. | ||
55 | |||
56 | |||
57 | Board Support | ||
58 | ------------- | ||
59 | |||
60 | Each board that wants to use the cpufreq code must register some basic | ||
61 | information with the core driver to provide information about what the | ||
62 | board requires and any restrictions being placed on it. | ||
63 | |||
64 | The board needs to supply information about whether it needs the IO bank | ||
65 | timings changing, any maximum frequency limits and information about the | ||
66 | SDRAM refresh rate. | ||

9 | What: PRISM54 | ||
10 | When: 2.6.34 | ||
11 | |||
12 | Why: prism54 FullMAC PCI / Cardbus devices used to be supported only by the | ||
13 | prism54 wireless driver. After Intersil stopped selling these | ||
14 | devices in preference for the newer more flexible SoftMAC devices | ||
15 | a SoftMAC device driver was required and prism54 did not support | ||
16 | them. The p54pci driver now exists and has been present in the kernel for | ||
17 | a while. This driver supports both SoftMAC devices and FullMAC devices. | ||
18 | The main difference between these devices was the amount of memory which | ||
19 | could be used for the firmware. The SoftMAC devices support a smaller | ||
20 | amount of memory. Because of this the SoftMAC firmware fits into FullMAC | ||
21 | devices's memory. p54pci supports not only PCI / Cardbus but also USB | ||
22 | and SPI. Since p54pci supports all devices prism54 supports | ||
23 | you will have a conflict. I'm not quite sure how distributions are | ||
24 | handling this conflict right now. prism54 was kept around due to | ||
25 | claims users may experience issues when using the SoftMAC driver. | ||
26 | Time has passed users have not reported issues. If you use prism54 | ||
27 | and for whatever reason you cannot use p54pci please let us know! | ||

209 | What: libata spindown skipping and warning | ||
210 | When: Dec 2008 | ||
211 | Why: Some halt(8) implementations synchronize caches for and spin | ||
212 | down libata disks because libata didn't use to spin down disk on | ||
213 | system halt (only synchronized caches). | ||
214 | Spin down on system halt is now implemented. sysfs node | ||
215 | /sys/class/scsi_disk/h:c:i:l/manage_start_stop is present if | ||
216 | spin down support is available. | ||
217 | Because issuing spin down command to an already spun down disk | ||
218 | makes some disks spin up just to spin down again, libata tracks | ||
219 | device spindown status to skip the extra spindown command and | ||
220 | warn about it. | ||
221 | This is to give userspace tools the time to get updated and will | ||
222 | be removed after userspace is reasonably updated. | ||

453 | When: August 2010 | ||
454 | Why: OSS sound_core grabs all legacy minors (0-255) of SOUND_MAJOR | ||
455 | (14) and requests modules using custom sound-slot/service-* | ||
456 | module aliases. The only benefit of doing this is allowing | ||
457 | use of custom module aliases which might as well be considered | ||
458 | a bug at this point. This preemptive claiming prevents | ||
459 | alternative OSS implementations. | ||
460 | |||
461 | Till the feature is removed, the kernel will be requesting | ||
462 | both sound-slot/service-* and the standard char-major-* module | ||
463 | aliases and allow turning off the pre-claiming selectively via | ||
464 | CONFIG_SOUND_OSS_CORE_PRECLAIM and soundcore.preclaim_oss | ||
465 | kernel parameter. | ||
466 | |||
467 | After the transition phase is complete, both the custom module | ||
468 | aliases and switches to disable it will go away. This removal | ||
469 | will also allow making ALSA OSS emulation independent of | ||
470 | sound_core. The dependency will be broken then too. | ||

1 | uevents and GFS2 | ||
2 | ================== | ||
3 | |||
4 | During the lifetime of a GFS2 mount, a number of uevents are generated. | ||
5 | This document explains what the events are and what they are used | ||
6 | for (by gfs_controld in gfs2-utils). | ||
7 | |||
8 | A list of GFS2 uevents | ||
9 | ----------------------- | ||
10 | |||
11 | 1. ADD | ||
12 | |||
13 | The ADD event occurs at mount time. It will always be the first | ||
14 | uevent generated by the newly created filesystem. If the mount | ||
15 | is successful, an ONLINE uevent will follow. If it is not successful | ||
16 | then a REMOVE uevent will follow. | ||
17 | |||
18 | The ADD uevent has two environment variables: SPECTATOR=[0|1] | ||
19 | and RDONLY=[0|1] that specify the spectator status (a read-only mount | ||
20 | with no journal assigned), and read-only (with journal assigned) status | ||
21 | of the filesystem respectively. | ||
22 | |||
23 | 2. ONLINE | ||
24 | |||
25 | The ONLINE uevent is generated after a successful mount or remount. It | ||
26 | has the same environment variables as the ADD uevent. The ONLINE | ||
27 | uevent, along with the two environment variables for spectator and | ||
28 | RDONLY are a relatively recent addition (2.6.32-rc+) and will not | ||
29 | be generated by older kernels. | ||
30 | |||
31 | 3. CHANGE | ||
32 | |||
33 | The CHANGE uevent is used in two places. One is when reporting the | ||
34 | successful mount of the filesystem by the first node (FIRSTMOUNT=Done). | ||
35 | This is used as a signal by gfs_controld that it is then ok for other | ||
36 | nodes in the cluster to mount the filesystem. | ||
37 | |||
38 | The other CHANGE uevent is used to inform of the completion | ||
39 | of journal recovery for one of the filesystems journals. It has | ||
40 | two environment variables, JID= which specifies the journal id which | ||
41 | has just been recovered, and RECOVERY=[Done|Failed] to indicate the | ||
42 | success (or otherwise) of the operation. These uevents are generated | ||
43 | for every journal recovered, whether it is during the initial mount | ||
44 | process or as the result of gfs_controld requesting a specific journal | ||
45 | recovery via the /sys/fs/gfs2/<fsname>/lock_module/recovery file. | ||
46 | |||
47 | Because the CHANGE uevent was used (in early versions of gfs_controld) | ||
48 | without checking the environment variables to discover the state, we | ||
49 | cannot add any more functions to it without running the risk of | ||
50 | someone using an older version of the user tools and breaking their | ||
51 | cluster. For this reason the ONLINE uevent was used when adding a new | ||
52 | uevent for a successful mount or remount. | ||
53 | |||
54 | 4. OFFLINE | ||
55 | |||
56 | The OFFLINE uevent is only generated due to filesystem errors and is used | ||
57 | as part of the "withdraw" mechanism. Currently this doesn't give any | ||
58 | information about what the error is, which is something that needs to | ||
59 | be fixed. | ||
60 | |||
61 | 5. REMOVE | ||
62 | |||
63 | The REMOVE uevent is generated at the end of an unsuccessful mount | ||
64 | or at the end of a umount of the filesystem. All REMOVE uevents will | ||
65 | have been preceeded by at least an ADD uevent for the same fileystem, | ||
66 | and unlike the other uevents is generated automatically by the kernel's | ||
67 | kobject subsystem. | ||
68 | |||
69 | |||
70 | Information common to all GFS2 uevents (uevent environment variables) | ||
71 | ---------------------------------------------------------------------- | ||
72 | |||
73 | 1. LOCKTABLE= | ||
74 | |||
75 | The LOCKTABLE is a string, as supplied on the mount command | ||
76 | line (locktable=) or via fstab. It is used as a filesystem label | ||
77 | as well as providing the information for a lock_dlm mount to be | ||
78 | able to join the cluster. | ||
79 | |||
80 | 2. LOCKPROTO= | ||
81 | |||
82 | The LOCKPROTO is a string, and its value depends on what is set | ||
83 | on the mount command line, or via fstab. It will be either | ||
84 | lock_nolock or lock_dlm. In the future other lock managers | ||
85 | may be supported. | ||
86 | |||
87 | 3. JOURNALID= | ||
88 | |||
89 | If a journal is in use by the filesystem (journals are not | ||
90 | assigned for spectator mounts) then this will give the | ||
91 | numeric journal id in all GFS2 uevents. | ||
92 | |||
93 | 4. UUID= | ||
94 | |||
95 | With recent versions of gfs2-utils, mkfs.gfs2 writes a UUID | ||
96 | into the filesystem superblock. If it exists, this will | ||
97 | be included in every uevent relating to the filesystem. | ||

2 | The NFS client | ||
3 | ============== | ||
4 | |||
5 | The NFS version 2 protocol was first documented in RFC1094 (March 1989). | ||
6 | Since then two more major releases of NFS have been published, with NFSv3 | ||
7 | being documented in RFC1813 (June 1995), and NFSv4 in RFC3530 (April | ||
8 | 2003). | ||
9 | |||
10 | The Linux NFS client currently supports all the above published versions, | ||
11 | and work is in progress on adding support for minor version 1 of the NFSv4 | ||
12 | protocol. | ||
13 | |||
14 | The purpose of this document is to provide information on some of the | ||
15 | upcall interfaces that are used in order to provide the NFS client with | ||
16 | some of the information that it requires in order to fully comply with | ||
17 | the NFS spec. | ||
18 | |||
19 | The DNS resolver | ||
20 | ================ | ||
21 | |||
22 | NFSv4 allows for one server to refer the NFS client to data that has been | ||
23 | migrated onto another server by means of the special "fs_locations" | ||
24 | attribute. See | ||
25 | http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3530#section-6 | ||
26 | and | ||
27 | http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-nfsv4-referrals-00 | ||
28 | |||
29 | The fs_locations information can take the form of either an ip address and | ||
30 | a path, or a DNS hostname and a path. The latter requires the NFS client to | ||
31 | do a DNS lookup in order to mount the new volume, and hence the need for an | ||
32 | upcall to allow userland to provide this service. | ||
33 | |||
34 | Assuming that the user has the 'rpc_pipefs' filesystem mounted in the usual | ||
35 | /var/lib/nfs/rpc_pipefs, the upcall consists of the following steps: | ||
36 | |||
37 | (1) The process checks the dns_resolve cache to see if it contains a | ||
38 | valid entry. If so, it returns that entry and exits. | ||
39 | |||
40 | (2) If no valid entry exists, the helper script '/sbin/nfs_cache_getent' | ||
41 | (may be changed using the 'nfs.cache_getent' kernel boot parameter) | ||
42 | is run, with two arguments: | ||
43 | - the cache name, "dns_resolve" | ||
44 | - the hostname to resolve | ||
45 | |||
46 | (3) After looking up the corresponding ip address, the helper script | ||
47 | writes the result into the rpc_pipefs pseudo-file | ||
48 | '/var/lib/nfs/rpc_pipefs/cache/dns_resolve/channel' | ||
49 | in the following (text) format: | ||
50 | |||
51 | "<ip address> <hostname> <ttl>\n" | ||
52 | |||
53 | Where <ip address> is in the usual IPv4 (123.456.78.90) or IPv6 | ||
54 | (ffee:ddcc:bbaa:9988:7766:5544:3322:1100, ffee::1100, ...) format. | ||
55 | <hostname> is identical to the second argument of the helper | ||
56 | script, and <ttl> is the 'time to live' of this cache entry (in | ||
57 | units of seconds). | ||
58 | |||
59 | Note: If <ip address> is invalid, say the string "0", then a negative | ||
60 | entry is created, which will cause the kernel to treat the hostname | ||
61 | as having no valid DNS translation. | ||
62 | |||
63 | |||

1 | Using flexible arrays in the kernel | ||
2 | Last updated for 2.6.31 | ||
3 | Jonathan Corbet <corbet@lwn.net> | ||
4 | |||
5 | Large contiguous memory allocations can be unreliable in the Linux kernel. | ||
6 | Kernel programmers will sometimes respond to this problem by allocating | ||
7 | pages with vmalloc(). This solution not ideal, though. On 32-bit systems, | ||
8 | memory from vmalloc() must be mapped into a relatively small address space; | ||
9 | it's easy to run out. On SMP systems, the page table changes required by | ||
10 | vmalloc() allocations can require expensive cross-processor interrupts on | ||
11 | all CPUs. And, on all systems, use of space in the vmalloc() range | ||
12 | increases pressure on the translation lookaside buffer (TLB), reducing the | ||
13 | performance of the system. | ||
14 | |||
15 | In many cases, the need for memory from vmalloc() can be eliminated by | ||
16 | piecing together an array from smaller parts; the flexible array library | ||
17 | exists to make this task easier. | ||
18 | |||
19 | A flexible array holds an arbitrary (within limits) number of fixed-sized | ||
20 | objects, accessed via an integer index. Sparse arrays are handled | ||
21 | reasonably well. Only single-page allocations are made, so memory | ||
22 | allocation failures should be relatively rare. The down sides are that the | ||
23 | arrays cannot be indexed directly, individual object size cannot exceed the | ||
24 | system page size, and putting data into a flexible array requires a copy | ||
25 | operation. It's also worth noting that flexible arrays do no internal | ||
26 | locking at all; if concurrent access to an array is possible, then the | ||
27 | caller must arrange for appropriate mutual exclusion. | ||
28 | |||
29 | The creation of a flexible array is done with: | ||
30 | |||
31 | #include <linux/flex_array.h> | ||
32 | |||
33 | struct flex_array *flex_array_alloc(int element_size, | ||
34 | unsigned int total, | ||
35 | gfp_t flags); | ||
36 | |||
37 | The individual object size is provided by element_size, while total is the | ||
38 | maximum number of objects which can be stored in the array. The flags | ||
39 | argument is passed directly to the internal memory allocation calls. With | ||
40 | the current code, using flags to ask for high memory is likely to lead to | ||
41 | notably unpleasant side effects. | ||
42 | |||
43 | Storing data into a flexible array is accomplished with a call to: | ||
44 | |||
45 | int flex_array_put(struct flex_array *array, unsigned int element_nr, | ||
46 | void *src, gfp_t flags); | ||
47 | |||
48 | This call will copy the data from src into the array, in the position | ||
49 | indicated by element_nr (which must be less than the maximum specified when | ||
50 | the array was created). If any memory allocations must be performed, flags | ||
51 | will be used. The return value is zero on success, a negative error code | ||
52 | otherwise. | ||
53 | |||
54 | There might possibly be a need to store data into a flexible array while | ||
55 | running in some sort of atomic context; in this situation, sleeping in the | ||
56 | memory allocator would be a bad thing. That can be avoided by using | ||
57 | GFP_ATOMIC for the flags value, but, often, there is a better way. The | ||
58 | trick is to ensure that any needed memory allocations are done before | ||
59 | entering atomic context, using: | ||
60 | |||
61 | int flex_array_prealloc(struct flex_array *array, unsigned int start, | ||
62 | unsigned int end, gfp_t flags); | ||
63 | |||
64 | This function will ensure that memory for the elements indexed in the range | ||
65 | defined by start and end has been allocated. Thereafter, a | ||
66 | flex_array_put() call on an element in that range is guaranteed not to | ||
67 | block. | ||
68 | |||
69 | Getting data back out of the array is done with: | ||
70 | |||
71 | void *flex_array_get(struct flex_array *fa, unsigned int element_nr); | ||
72 | |||
73 | The return value is a pointer to the data element, or NULL if that | ||
74 | particular element has never been allocated. | ||
75 | |||
76 | Note that it is possible to get back a valid pointer for an element which | ||
77 | has never been stored in the array. Memory for array elements is allocated | ||
78 | one page at a time; a single allocation could provide memory for several | ||
79 | adjacent elements. The flexible array code does not know if a specific | ||
80 | element has been written; it only knows if the associated memory is | ||
81 | present. So a flex_array_get() call on an element which was never stored | ||
82 | in the array has the potential to return a pointer to random data. If the | ||
83 | caller does not have a separate way to know which elements were actually | ||
84 | stored, it might be wise, at least, to add GFP_ZERO to the flags argument | ||
85 | to ensure that all elements are zeroed. | ||
86 | |||
87 | There is no way to remove a single element from the array. It is possible, | ||
88 | though, to remove all elements with a call to: | ||
89 | |||
90 | void flex_array_free_parts(struct flex_array *array); | ||
91 | |||
92 | This call frees all elements, but leaves the array itself in place. | ||
93 | Freeing the entire array is done with: | ||
94 | |||
95 | void flex_array_free(struct flex_array *array); | ||
96 | |||
97 | As of this writing, there are no users of flexible arrays in the mainline | ||
98 | kernel. The functions described here are also not exported to modules; | ||
99 | that will probably be fixed when somebody comes up with a need for it. | ||

1 | Intel(R) TXT Overview: | ||
2 | ===================== | ||
3 | |||
4 | Intel's technology for safer computing, Intel(R) Trusted Execution | ||
5 | Technology (Intel(R) TXT), defines platform-level enhancements that | ||
6 | provide the building blocks for creating trusted platforms. | ||
7 | |||
8 | Intel TXT was formerly known by the code name LaGrande Technology (LT). | ||
9 | |||
10 | Intel TXT in Brief: | ||
11 | o Provides dynamic root of trust for measurement (DRTM) | ||
12 | o Data protection in case of improper shutdown | ||
13 | o Measurement and verification of launched environment | ||
14 | |||
15 | Intel TXT is part of the vPro(TM) brand and is also available some | ||
16 | non-vPro systems. It is currently available on desktop systems | ||
17 | based on the Q35, X38, Q45, and Q43 Express chipsets (e.g. Dell | ||
18 | Optiplex 755, HP dc7800, etc.) and mobile systems based on the GM45, | ||
19 | PM45, and GS45 Express chipsets. | ||
20 | |||
21 | For more information, see http://www.intel.com/technology/security/. | ||
22 | This site also has a link to the Intel TXT MLE Developers Manual, | ||
23 | which has been updated for the new released platforms. | ||
24 | |||

38 | Trusted Boot Project Overview: | ||
39 | ============================= | ||
40 | |||
41 | Trusted Boot (tboot) is an open source, pre- kernel/VMM module that | ||
42 | uses Intel TXT to perform a measured and verified launch of an OS | ||
43 | kernel/VMM. | ||
44 | |||
45 | It is hosted on SourceForge at http://sourceforge.net/projects/tboot. | ||
46 | The mercurial source repo is available at http://www.bughost.org/ | ||
47 | repos.hg/tboot.hg. | ||
48 | |||
49 | Tboot currently supports launching Xen (open source VMM/hypervisor | ||
50 | w/ TXT support since v3.2), and now Linux kernels. | ||
51 | |||
52 | |||
53 | Value Proposition for Linux or "Why should you care?" | ||
54 | ===================================================== | ||
55 | |||
56 | While there are many products and technologies that attempt to | ||
57 | measure or protect the integrity of a running kernel, they all | ||
58 | assume the kernel is "good" to begin with. The Integrity | ||
59 | Measurement Architecture (IMA) and Linux Integrity Module interface | ||
60 | are examples of such solutions. | ||
61 | |||
62 | To get trust in the initial kernel without using Intel TXT, a | ||
63 | static root of trust must be used. This bases trust in BIOS | ||
64 | starting at system reset and requires measurement of all code | ||
65 | executed between system reset through the completion of the kernel | ||
66 | boot as well as data objects used by that code. In the case of a | ||
67 | Linux kernel, this means all of BIOS, any option ROMs, the | ||
68 | bootloader and the boot config. In practice, this is a lot of | ||
69 | code/data, much of which is subject to change from boot to boot | ||
70 | (e.g. changing NICs may change option ROMs). Without reference | ||
71 | hashes, these measurement changes are difficult to assess or | ||
72 | confirm as benign. This process also does not provide DMA | ||
73 | protection, memory configuration/alias checks and locks, crash | ||
74 | protection, or policy support. | ||
75 | |||
76 | By using the hardware-based root of trust that Intel TXT provides, | ||
77 | many of these issues can be mitigated. Specifically: many | ||
78 | pre-launch components can be removed from the trust chain, DMA | ||
79 | protection is provided to all launched components, a large number | ||
80 | of platform configuration checks are performed and values locked, | ||
81 | protection is provided for any data in the event of an improper | ||
82 | shutdown, and there is support for policy-based execution/verification. | ||
83 | This provides a more stable measurement and a higher assurance of | ||
84 | system configuration and initial state than would be otherwise | ||
85 | possible. Since the tboot project is open source, source code for | ||
86 | almost all parts of the trust chain is available (excepting SMM and | ||
87 | Intel-provided firmware). | ||
88 | |||
89 | How Does it Work? | ||
90 | ================= | ||
91 | |||
92 | o Tboot is an executable that is launched by the bootloader as | ||
93 | the "kernel" (the binary the bootloader executes). | ||
94 | o It performs all of the work necessary to determine if the | ||
95 | platform supports Intel TXT and, if so, executes the GETSEC[SENTER] | ||
96 | processor instruction that initiates the dynamic root of trust. | ||
97 | - If tboot determines that the system does not support Intel TXT | ||
98 | or is not configured correctly (e.g. the SINIT AC Module was | ||
99 | incorrect), it will directly launch the kernel with no changes | ||
100 | to any state. | ||
101 | - Tboot will output various information about its progress to the | ||
102 | terminal, serial port, and/or an in-memory log; the output | ||
103 | locations can be configured with a command line switch. | ||
104 | o The GETSEC[SENTER] instruction will return control to tboot and | ||
105 | tboot then verifies certain aspects of the environment (e.g. TPM NV | ||
106 | lock, e820 table does not have invalid entries, etc.). | ||
107 | o It will wake the APs from the special sleep state the GETSEC[SENTER] | ||
108 | instruction had put them in and place them into a wait-for-SIPI | ||
109 | state. | ||
110 | - Because the processors will not respond to an INIT or SIPI when | ||
111 | in the TXT environment, it is necessary to create a small VT-x | ||
112 | guest for the APs. When they run in this guest, they will | ||
113 | simply wait for the INIT-SIPI-SIPI sequence, which will cause | ||
114 | VMEXITs, and then disable VT and jump to the SIPI vector. This | ||
115 | approach seemed like a better choice than having to insert | ||
116 | special code into the kernel's MP wakeup sequence. | ||
117 | o Tboot then applies an (optional) user-defined launch policy to | ||
118 | verify the kernel and initrd. | ||
119 | - This policy is rooted in TPM NV and is described in the tboot | ||
120 | project. The tboot project also contains code for tools to | ||
121 | create and provision the policy. | ||
122 | - Policies are completely under user control and if not present | ||
123 | then any kernel will be launched. | ||
124 | - Policy action is flexible and can include halting on failures | ||
125 | or simply logging them and continuing. | ||
126 | o Tboot adjusts the e820 table provided by the bootloader to reserve | ||
127 | its own location in memory as well as to reserve certain other | ||
128 | TXT-related regions. | ||
129 | o As part of it's launch, tboot DMA protects all of RAM (using the | ||
130 | VT-d PMRs). Thus, the kernel must be booted with 'intel_iommu=on' | ||
131 | in order to remove this blanket protection and use VT-d's | ||
132 | page-level protection. | ||
133 | o Tboot will populate a shared page with some data about itself and | ||
134 | pass this to the Linux kernel as it transfers control. | ||
135 | - The location of the shared page is passed via the boot_params | ||
136 | struct as a physical address. | ||
137 | o The kernel will look for the tboot shared page address and, if it | ||
138 | exists, map it. | ||
139 | o As one of the checks/protections provided by TXT, it makes a copy | ||
140 | of the VT-d DMARs in a DMA-protected region of memory and verifies | ||
141 | them for correctness. The VT-d code will detect if the kernel was | ||
142 | launched with tboot and use this copy instead of the one in the | ||
143 | ACPI table. | ||
144 | o At this point, tboot and TXT are out of the picture until a | ||
145 | shutdown (S<n>) | ||
146 | o In order to put a system into any of the sleep states after a TXT | ||
147 | launch, TXT must first be exited. This is to prevent attacks that | ||
148 | attempt to crash the system to gain control on reboot and steal | ||
149 | data left in memory. | ||
150 | - The kernel will perform all of its sleep preparation and | ||
151 | populate the shared page with the ACPI data needed to put the | ||
152 | platform in the desired sleep state. | ||
153 | - Then the kernel jumps into tboot via the vector specified in the | ||
154 | shared page. | ||
155 | - Tboot will clean up the environment and disable TXT, then use the | ||
156 | kernel-provided ACPI information to actually place the platform | ||
157 | into the desired sleep state. | ||
158 | - In the case of S3, tboot will also register itself as the resume | ||
159 | vector. This is necessary because it must re-establish the | ||
160 | measured environment upon resume. Once the TXT environment | ||
161 | has been restored, it will restore the TPM PCRs and then | ||
162 | transfer control back to the kernel's S3 resume vector. | ||
163 | In order to preserve system integrity across S3, the kernel | ||
164 | provides tboot with a set of memory ranges (kernel | ||
165 | code/data/bss, S3 resume code, and AP trampoline) that tboot | ||
166 | will calculate a MAC (message authentication code) over and then | ||
167 | seal with the TPM. On resume and once the measured environment | ||
168 | has been re-established, tboot will re-calculate the MAC and | ||
169 | verify it against the sealed value. Tboot's policy determines | ||
170 | what happens if the verification fails. | ||
171 | |||
172 | That's pretty much it for TXT support. | ||
173 | |||
174 | |||
175 | Configuring the System: | ||
176 | ====================== | ||
177 | |||
178 | This code works with 32bit, 32bit PAE, and 64bit (x86_64) kernels. | ||
179 | |||
180 | In BIOS, the user must enable: TPM, TXT, VT-x, VT-d. Not all BIOSes | ||
181 | allow these to be individually enabled/disabled and the screens in | ||
182 | which to find them are BIOS-specific. | ||
183 | |||
184 | grub.conf needs to be modified as follows: | ||
185 | title Linux 2.6.29-tip w/ tboot | ||
186 | root (hd0,0) | ||
187 | kernel /tboot.gz logging=serial,vga,memory | ||
188 | module /vmlinuz-2.6.29-tip intel_iommu=on ro | ||
189 | root=LABEL=/ rhgb console=ttyS0,115200 3 | ||
190 | module /initrd-2.6.29-tip.img | ||
191 | module /Q35_SINIT_17.BIN | ||
192 | |||
193 | The kernel option for enabling Intel TXT support is found under the | ||
194 | Security top-level menu and is called "Enable Intel(R) Trusted | ||
195 | Execution Technology (TXT)". It is marked as EXPERIMENTAL and | ||
196 | depends on the generic x86 support (to allow maximum flexibility in | ||
197 | kernel build options), since the tboot code will detect whether the | ||
198 | platform actually supports Intel TXT and thus whether any of the | ||
199 | kernel code is executed. | ||
200 | |||
201 | The Q35_SINIT_17.BIN file is what Intel TXT refers to as an | ||
202 | Authenticated Code Module. It is specific to the chipset in the | ||
203 | system and can also be found on the Trusted Boot site. It is an | ||
204 | (unencrypted) module signed by Intel that is used as part of the | ||
205 | DRTM process to verify and configure the system. It is signed | ||
206 | because it operates at a higher privilege level in the system than | ||
207 | any other macrocode and its correct operation is critical to the | ||
208 | establishment of the DRTM. The process for determining the correct | ||
209 | SINIT ACM for a system is documented in the SINIT-guide.txt file | ||
210 | that is on the tboot SourceForge site under the SINIT ACM downloads. | ||

1 | The Definitive KVM (Kernel-based Virtual Machine) API Documentation | ||
2 | =================================================================== | ||
3 | |||
4 | 1. General description | ||
5 | |||
6 | The kvm API is a set of ioctls that are issued to control various aspects | ||
7 | of a virtual machine. The ioctls belong to three classes | ||
8 | |||
9 | - System ioctls: These query and set global attributes which affect the | ||
10 | whole kvm subsystem. In addition a system ioctl is used to create | ||
11 | virtual machines | ||
12 | |||
13 | - VM ioctls: These query and set attributes that affect an entire virtual | ||
14 | machine, for example memory layout. In addition a VM ioctl is used to | ||
15 | create virtual cpus (vcpus). | ||
16 | |||
17 | Only run VM ioctls from the same process (address space) that was used | ||
18 | to create the VM. | ||
19 | |||
20 | - vcpu ioctls: These query and set attributes that control the operation | ||
21 | of a single virtual cpu. | ||
22 | |||
23 | Only run vcpu ioctls from the same thread that was used to create the | ||
24 | vcpu. | ||
25 | |||
26 | 2. File descritpors | ||
27 | |||
28 | The kvm API is centered around file descriptors. An initial | ||
29 | open("/dev/kvm") obtains a handle to the kvm subsystem; this handle | ||
30 | can be used to issue system ioctls. A KVM_CREATE_VM ioctl on this | ||
31 | handle will create a VM file descripror which can be used to issue VM | ||
32 | ioctls. A KVM_CREATE_VCPU ioctl on a VM fd will create a virtual cpu | ||
33 | and return a file descriptor pointing to it. Finally, ioctls on a vcpu | ||
34 | fd can be used to control the vcpu, including the important task of | ||
35 | actually running guest code. | ||
36 | |||
37 | In general file descriptors can be migrated among processes by means | ||
38 | of fork() and the SCM_RIGHTS facility of unix domain socket. These | ||
39 | kinds of tricks are explicitly not supported by kvm. While they will | ||
40 | not cause harm to the host, their actual behavior is not guaranteed by | ||
41 | the API. The only supported use is one virtual machine per process, | ||
42 | and one vcpu per thread. | ||
43 | |||
44 | 3. Extensions | ||
45 | |||
46 | As of Linux 2.6.22, the KVM ABI has been stabilized: no backward | ||
47 | incompatible change are allowed. However, there is an extension | ||
48 | facility that allows backward-compatible extensions to the API to be | ||
49 | queried and used. | ||
50 | |||
51 | The extension mechanism is not based on on the Linux version number. | ||
52 | Instead, kvm defines extension identifiers and a facility to query | ||
53 | whether a particular extension identifier is available. If it is, a | ||
54 | set of ioctls is available for application use. | ||
55 | |||
56 | 4. API description | ||
57 | |||
58 | This section describes ioctls that can be used to control kvm guests. | ||
59 | For each ioctl, the following information is provided along with a | ||
60 | description: | ||
61 | |||
62 | Capability: which KVM extension provides this ioctl. Can be 'basic', | ||
63 | which means that is will be provided by any kernel that supports | ||
64 | API version 12 (see section 4.1), or a KVM_CAP_xyz constant, which | ||
65 | means availability needs to be checked with KVM_CHECK_EXTENSION | ||
66 | (see section 4.4). | ||
67 | |||
68 | Architectures: which instruction set architectures provide this ioctl. | ||
69 | x86 includes both i386 and x86_64. | ||
70 | |||
71 | Type: system, vm, or vcpu. | ||
72 | |||
73 | Parameters: what parameters are accepted by the ioctl. | ||
74 | |||
75 | Returns: the return value. General error numbers (EBADF, ENOMEM, EINVAL) | ||
76 | are not detailed, but errors with specific meanings are. | ||
77 | |||
78 | 4.1 KVM_GET_API_VERSION | ||
79 | |||
80 | Capability: basic | ||
81 | Architectures: all | ||
82 | Type: system ioctl | ||
83 | Parameters: none | ||
84 | Returns: the constant KVM_API_VERSION (=12) | ||
85 | |||
86 | This identifies the API version as the stable kvm API. It is not | ||
87 | expected that this number will change. However, Linux 2.6.20 and | ||
88 | 2.6.21 report earlier versions; these are not documented and not | ||
89 | supported. Applications should refuse to run if KVM_GET_API_VERSION | ||
90 | returns a value other than 12. If this check passes, all ioctls | ||
91 | described as 'basic' will be available. | ||
92 | |||
93 | 4.2 KVM_CREATE_VM | ||
94 | |||
95 | Capability: basic | ||
96 | Architectures: all | ||
97 | Type: system ioctl | ||
98 | Parameters: none | ||
99 | Returns: a VM fd that can be used to control the new virtual machine. | ||
100 | |||
101 | The new VM has no virtual cpus and no memory. An mmap() of a VM fd | ||
102 | will access the virtual machine's physical address space; offset zero | ||
103 | corresponds to guest physical address zero. Use of mmap() on a VM fd | ||
104 | is discouraged if userspace memory allocation (KVM_CAP_USER_MEMORY) is | ||
105 | available. | ||
106 | |||
107 | 4.3 KVM_GET_MSR_INDEX_LIST | ||
108 | |||
109 | Capability: basic | ||
110 | Architectures: x86 | ||
111 | Type: system | ||
112 | Parameters: struct kvm_msr_list (in/out) | ||
113 | Returns: 0 on success; -1 on error | ||
114 | Errors: | ||
115 | E2BIG: the msr index list is to be to fit in the array specified by | ||
116 | the user. | ||
117 | |||
118 | struct kvm_msr_list { | ||
119 | __u32 nmsrs; /* number of msrs in entries */ | ||
120 | __u32 indices[0]; | ||
121 | }; | ||
122 | |||
123 | This ioctl returns the guest msrs that are supported. The list varies | ||
124 | by kvm version and host processor, but does not change otherwise. The | ||
125 | user fills in the size of the indices array in nmsrs, and in return | ||
126 | kvm adjusts nmsrs to reflect the actual number of msrs and fills in | ||
127 | the indices array with their numbers. | ||
128 | |||
129 | 4.4 KVM_CHECK_EXTENSION | ||
130 | |||
131 | Capability: basic | ||
132 | Architectures: all | ||
133 | Type: system ioctl | ||
134 | Parameters: extension identifier (KVM_CAP_*) | ||
135 | Returns: 0 if unsupported; 1 (or some other positive integer) if supported | ||
136 | |||
137 | The API allows the application to query about extensions to the core | ||
138 | kvm API. Userspace passes an extension identifier (an integer) and | ||
139 | receives an integer that describes the extension availability. | ||
140 | Generally 0 means no and 1 means yes, but some extensions may report | ||
141 | additional information in the integer return value. | ||
142 | |||
143 | 4.5 KVM_GET_VCPU_MMAP_SIZE | ||
144 | |||
145 | Capability: basic | ||
146 | Architectures: all | ||
147 | Type: system ioctl | ||
148 | Parameters: none | ||
149 | Returns: size of vcpu mmap area, in bytes | ||
150 | |||
151 | The KVM_RUN ioctl (cf.) communicates with userspace via a shared | ||
152 | memory region. This ioctl returns the size of that region. See the | ||
153 | KVM_RUN documentation for details. | ||
154 | |||
155 | 4.6 KVM_SET_MEMORY_REGION | ||
156 | |||
157 | Capability: basic | ||
158 | Architectures: all | ||
159 | Type: vm ioctl | ||
160 | Parameters: struct kvm_memory_region (in) | ||
161 | Returns: 0 on success, -1 on error | ||
162 | |||
163 | struct kvm_memory_region { | ||
164 | __u32 slot; | ||
165 | __u32 flags; | ||
166 | __u64 guest_phys_addr; | ||
167 | __u64 memory_size; /* bytes */ | ||
168 | }; | ||
169 | |||
170 | /* for kvm_memory_region::flags */ | ||
171 | #define KVM_MEM_LOG_DIRTY_PAGES 1UL | ||
172 | |||
173 | This ioctl allows the user to create or modify a guest physical memory | ||
174 | slot. When changing an existing slot, it may be moved in the guest | ||
175 | physical memory space, or its flags may be modified. It may not be | ||
176 | resized. Slots may not overlap. | ||
177 | |||
178 | The flags field supports just one flag, KVM_MEM_LOG_DIRTY_PAGES, which | ||
179 | instructs kvm to keep track of writes to memory within the slot. See | ||
180 | the KVM_GET_DIRTY_LOG ioctl. | ||
181 | |||
182 | It is recommended to use the KVM_SET_USER_MEMORY_REGION ioctl instead | ||
183 | of this API, if available. This newer API allows placing guest memory | ||
184 | at specified locations in the host address space, yielding better | ||
185 | control and easy access. | ||
186 | |||
187 | 4.6 KVM_CREATE_VCPU | ||
188 | |||
189 | Capability: basic | ||
190 | Architectures: all | ||
191 | Type: vm ioctl | ||
192 | Parameters: vcpu id (apic id on x86) | ||
193 | Returns: vcpu fd on success, -1 on error | ||
194 | |||
195 | This API adds a vcpu to a virtual machine. The vcpu id is a small integer | ||
196 | in the range [0, max_vcpus). | ||
197 | |||
198 | 4.7 KVM_GET_DIRTY_LOG (vm ioctl) | ||
199 | |||
200 | Capability: basic | ||
201 | Architectures: x86 | ||
202 | Type: vm ioctl | ||
203 | Parameters: struct kvm_dirty_log (in/out) | ||
204 | Returns: 0 on success, -1 on error | ||
205 | |||
206 | /* for KVM_GET_DIRTY_LOG */ | ||
207 | struct kvm_dirty_log { | ||
208 | __u32 slot; | ||
209 | __u32 padding; | ||
210 | union { | ||
211 | void __user *dirty_bitmap; /* one bit per page */ | ||
212 | __u64 padding; | ||
213 | }; | ||
214 | }; | ||
215 | |||
216 | Given a memory slot, return a bitmap containing any pages dirtied | ||
217 | since the last call to this ioctl. Bit 0 is the first page in the | ||
218 | memory slot. Ensure the entire structure is cleared to avoid padding | ||
219 | issues. | ||
220 | |||
221 | 4.8 KVM_SET_MEMORY_ALIAS | ||
222 | |||
223 | Capability: basic | ||
224 | Architectures: x86 | ||
225 | Type: vm ioctl | ||
226 | Parameters: struct kvm_memory_alias (in) | ||
227 | Returns: 0 (success), -1 (error) | ||
228 | |||
229 | struct kvm_memory_alias { | ||
230 | __u32 slot; /* this has a different namespace than memory slots */ | ||
231 | __u32 flags; | ||
232 | __u64 guest_phys_addr; | ||
233 | __u64 memory_size; | ||
234 | __u64 target_phys_addr; | ||
235 | }; | ||
236 | |||
237 | Defines a guest physical address space region as an alias to another | ||
238 | region. Useful for aliased address, for example the VGA low memory | ||
239 | window. Should not be used with userspace memory. | ||
240 | |||
241 | 4.9 KVM_RUN | ||
242 | |||
243 | Capability: basic | ||
244 | Architectures: all | ||
245 | Type: vcpu ioctl | ||
246 | Parameters: none | ||
247 | Returns: 0 on success, -1 on error | ||
248 | Errors: | ||
249 | EINTR: an unmasked signal is pending | ||
250 | |||
251 | This ioctl is used to run a guest virtual cpu. While there are no | ||
252 | explicit parameters, there is an implicit parameter block that can be | ||
253 | obtained by mmap()ing the vcpu fd at offset 0, with the size given by | ||
254 | KVM_GET_VCPU_MMAP_SIZE. The parameter block is formatted as a 'struct | ||
255 | kvm_run' (see below). | ||
256 | |||
257 | 4.10 KVM_GET_REGS | ||
258 | |||
259 | Capability: basic | ||
260 | Architectures: all | ||
261 | Type: vcpu ioctl | ||
262 | Parameters: struct kvm_regs (out) | ||
263 | Returns: 0 on success, -1 on error | ||
264 | |||
265 | Reads the general purpose registers from the vcpu. | ||
266 | |||

270 | __u64 rax, rbx, rcx, rdx; | ||
271 | __u64 rsi, rdi, rsp, rbp; | ||
272 | __u64 r8, r9, r10, r11; | ||
273 | __u64 r12, r13, r14, r15; | ||
274 | __u64 rip, rflags; | ||
275 | }; | ||
276 | |||

294 | Parameters: struct kvm_sregs (out) | ||
295 | Returns: 0 on success, -1 on error | ||
296 | |||
297 | Reads special registers from the vcpu. | ||
298 | |||
299 | /* x86 */ | ||
300 | struct kvm_sregs { | ||
301 | struct kvm_segment cs, ds, es, fs, gs, ss; | ||
302 | struct kvm_segment tr, ldt; | ||
303 | struct kvm_dtable gdt, idt; | ||
304 | __u64 cr0, cr2, cr3, cr4, cr8; | ||
305 | __u64 efer; | ||
306 | __u64 apic_base; | ||
307 | __u64 interrupt_bitmap[(KVM_NR_INTERRUPTS + 63) / 64]; | ||
308 | }; | ||
309 | |||
310 | interrupt_bitmap is a bitmap of pending external interrupts. At most | ||
311 | one bit may be set. This interrupt has been acknowledged by the APIC | ||
312 | but not yet injected into the cpu core. | ||
313 | |||

353 | Parameters: struct kvm_interrupt (in) | ||
354 | Returns: 0 on success, -1 on error | ||
355 | |||
356 | Queues a hardware interrupt vector to be injected. This is only | ||
357 | useful if in-kernel local APIC is not used. | ||
358 | |||
359 | /* for KVM_INTERRUPT */ | ||
360 | struct kvm_interrupt { | ||
361 | /* in */ | ||
362 | __u32 irq; | ||
363 | }; | ||
364 | |||
365 | Note 'irq' is an interrupt vector, not an interrupt pin or line. | ||

397 | __u32 reserved; | ||
398 | __u64 data; | ||
399 | }; | ||
400 | |||
401 | Application code should set the 'nmsrs' member (which indicates the | ||
402 | size of the entries array) and the 'index' member of each array entry. | ||
403 | kvm will fill in the 'data' member. | ||
404 | |||
405 | 4.18 KVM_SET_MSRS | ||
406 | |||
407 | Capability: basic | ||
408 | Architectures: x86 | ||

424 | Type: vcpu ioctl | ||
425 | Parameters: struct kvm_cpuid (in) | ||
426 | Returns: 0 on success, -1 on error | ||
427 | |||
428 | Defines the vcpu responses to the cpuid instruction. Applications | ||
429 | should use the KVM_SET_CPUID2 ioctl if available. | ||
430 | |||
431 | |||
432 | struct kvm_cpuid_entry { | ||
433 | __u32 function; | ||

454 | Returns: 0 on success, -1 on error | ||
455 | |||
456 | Defines which signals are blocked during execution of KVM_RUN. This | ||
457 | signal mask temporarily overrides the threads signal mask. Any | ||
458 | unblocked signal received (except SIGKILL and SIGSTOP, which retain | ||
459 | their traditional behaviour) will cause KVM_RUN to return with -EINTR. | ||
460 | |||
461 | Note the signal will only be delivered if not blocked by the original | ||
462 | signal mask. | ||
463 | |||

524 | Type: vm ioctl | ||
525 | Parameters: none | ||
526 | Returns: 0 on success, -1 on error | ||
527 | |||
528 | Creates an interrupt controller model in the kernel. On x86, creates a virtual | ||
529 | ioapic, a virtual PIC (two PICs, nested), and sets up future vcpus to have a | ||
530 | local APIC. IRQ routing for GSIs 0-15 is set to both PIC and IOAPIC; GSI 16-23 | ||
531 | only go to the IOAPIC. On ia64, a IOSAPIC is created. | ||

596 | 5. The kvm_run structure | ||
597 | |||
598 | Application code obtains a pointer to the kvm_run structure by | ||
599 | mmap()ing a vcpu fd. From that point, application code can control | ||
600 | execution by changing fields in kvm_run prior to calling the KVM_RUN | ||
601 | ioctl, and obtain information about the reason KVM_RUN returned by | ||
602 | looking up structure members. | ||

1 | Run-time Power Management Framework for I/O Devices | ||
2 | |||
3 | (C) 2009 Rafael J. Wysocki <rjw@sisk.pl>, Novell Inc. | ||
4 | |||
5 | 1. Introduction | ||
6 | |||
7 | Support for run-time power management (run-time PM) of I/O devices is provided | ||
8 | at the power management core (PM core) level by means of: | ||
9 | |||
10 | * The power management workqueue pm_wq in which bus types and device drivers can | ||
11 | put their PM-related work items. It is strongly recommended that pm_wq be | ||
12 | used for queuing all work items related to run-time PM, because this allows | ||
13 | them to be synchronized with system-wide power transitions (suspend to RAM, | ||
14 | hibernation and resume from system sleep states). pm_wq is declared in | ||
15 | include/linux/pm_runtime.h and defined in kernel/power/main.c. | ||
16 | |||
17 | * A number of run-time PM fields in the 'power' member of 'struct device' (which | ||
18 | is of the type 'struct dev_pm_info', defined in include/linux/pm.h) that can | ||
19 | be used for synchronizing run-time PM operations with one another. | ||
20 | |||
21 | * Three device run-time PM callbacks in 'struct dev_pm_ops' (defined in | ||
22 | include/linux/pm.h). | ||
23 | |||
24 | * A set of helper functions defined in drivers/base/power/runtime.c that can be | ||
25 | used for carrying out run-time PM operations in such a way that the | ||
26 | synchronization between them is taken care of by the PM core. Bus types and | ||
27 | device drivers are encouraged to use these functions. | ||
28 | |||
29 | The run-time PM callbacks present in 'struct dev_pm_ops', the device run-time PM | ||
30 | fields of 'struct dev_pm_info' and the core helper functions provided for | ||
31 | run-time PM are described below. | ||
32 | |||
33 | 2. Device Run-time PM Callbacks | ||
34 | |||
35 | There are three device run-time PM callbacks defined in 'struct dev_pm_ops': | ||
36 | |||
37 | struct dev_pm_ops { | ||
38 | ... | ||
39 | int (*runtime_suspend)(struct device *dev); | ||
40 | int (*runtime_resume)(struct device *dev); | ||
41 | void (*runtime_idle)(struct device *dev); | ||
42 | ... | ||
43 | }; | ||
44 | |||
45 | The ->runtime_suspend() callback is executed by the PM core for the bus type of | ||
46 | the device being suspended. The bus type's callback is then _entirely_ | ||
47 | _responsible_ for handling the device as appropriate, which may, but need not | ||
48 | include executing the device driver's own ->runtime_suspend() callback (from the | ||
49 | PM core's point of view it is not necessary to implement a ->runtime_suspend() | ||
50 | callback in a device driver as long as the bus type's ->runtime_suspend() knows | ||
51 | what to do to handle the device). | ||
52 | |||
53 | * Once the bus type's ->runtime_suspend() callback has completed successfully | ||
54 | for given device, the PM core regards the device as suspended, which need | ||
55 | not mean that the device has been put into a low power state. It is | ||
56 | supposed to mean, however, that the device will not process data and will | ||
57 | not communicate with the CPU(s) and RAM until its bus type's | ||
58 | ->runtime_resume() callback is executed for it. The run-time PM status of | ||
59 | a device after successful execution of its bus type's ->runtime_suspend() | ||
60 | callback is 'suspended'. | ||
61 | |||
62 | * If the bus type's ->runtime_suspend() callback returns -EBUSY or -EAGAIN, | ||
63 | the device's run-time PM status is supposed to be 'active', which means that | ||
64 | the device _must_ be fully operational afterwards. | ||
65 | |||
66 | * If the bus type's ->runtime_suspend() callback returns an error code | ||
67 | different from -EBUSY or -EAGAIN, the PM core regards this as a fatal | ||
68 | error and will refuse to run the helper functions described in Section 4 | ||
69 | for the device, until the status of it is directly set either to 'active' | ||
70 | or to 'suspended' (the PM core provides special helper functions for this | ||
71 | purpose). | ||
72 | |||
73 | In particular, if the driver requires remote wakeup capability for proper | ||
74 | functioning and device_may_wakeup() returns 'false' for the device, then | ||
75 | ->runtime_suspend() should return -EBUSY. On the other hand, if | ||
76 | device_may_wakeup() returns 'true' for the device and the device is put | ||
77 | into a low power state during the execution of its bus type's | ||
78 | ->runtime_suspend(), it is expected that remote wake-up (i.e. hardware mechanism | ||
79 | allowing the device to request a change of its power state, such as PCI PME) | ||
80 | will be enabled for the device. Generally, remote wake-up should be enabled | ||
81 | for all input devices put into a low power state at run time. | ||
82 | |||
83 | The ->runtime_resume() callback is executed by the PM core for the bus type of | ||
84 | the device being woken up. The bus type's callback is then _entirely_ | ||
85 | _responsible_ for handling the device as appropriate, which may, but need not | ||
86 | include executing the device driver's own ->runtime_resume() callback (from the | ||
87 | PM core's point of view it is not necessary to implement a ->runtime_resume() | ||
88 | callback in a device driver as long as the bus type's ->runtime_resume() knows | ||
89 | what to do to handle the device). | ||
90 | |||
91 | * Once the bus type's ->runtime_resume() callback has completed successfully, | ||
92 | the PM core regards the device as fully operational, which means that the | ||
93 | device _must_ be able to complete I/O operations as needed. The run-time | ||
94 | PM status of the device is then 'active'. | ||
95 | |||
96 | * If the bus type's ->runtime_resume() callback returns an error code, the PM | ||
97 | core regards this as a fatal error and will refuse to run the helper | ||
98 | functions described in Section 4 for the device, until its status is | ||
99 | directly set either to 'active' or to 'suspended' (the PM core provides | ||
100 | special helper functions for this purpose). | ||
101 | |||
102 | The ->runtime_idle() callback is executed by the PM core for the bus type of | ||
103 | given device whenever the device appears to be idle, which is indicated to the | ||
104 | PM core by two counters, the device's usage counter and the counter of 'active' | ||
105 | children of the device. | ||
106 | |||
107 | * If any of these counters is decreased using a helper function provided by | ||
108 | the PM core and it turns out to be equal to zero, the other counter is | ||
109 | checked. If that counter also is equal to zero, the PM core executes the | ||
110 | device bus type's ->runtime_idle() callback (with the device as an | ||
111 | argument). | ||
112 | |||
113 | The action performed by a bus type's ->runtime_idle() callback is totally | ||
114 | dependent on the bus type in question, but the expected and recommended action | ||
115 | is to check if the device can be suspended (i.e. if all of the conditions | ||
116 | necessary for suspending the device are satisfied) and to queue up a suspend | ||
117 | request for the device in that case. | ||
118 | |||
119 | The helper functions provided by the PM core, described in Section 4, guarantee | ||
120 | that the following constraints are met with respect to the bus type's run-time | ||
121 | PM callbacks: | ||
122 | |||
123 | (1) The callbacks are mutually exclusive (e.g. it is forbidden to execute | ||
124 | ->runtime_suspend() in parallel with ->runtime_resume() or with another | ||
125 | instance of ->runtime_suspend() for the same device) with the exception that | ||
126 | ->runtime_suspend() or ->runtime_resume() can be executed in parallel with | ||
127 | ->runtime_idle() (although ->runtime_idle() will not be started while any | ||
128 | of the other callbacks is being executed for the same device). | ||
129 | |||
130 | (2) ->runtime_idle() and ->runtime_suspend() can only be executed for 'active' | ||
131 | devices (i.e. the PM core will only execute ->runtime_idle() or | ||
132 | ->runtime_suspend() for the devices the run-time PM status of which is | ||
133 | 'active'). | ||
134 | |||
135 | (3) ->runtime_idle() and ->runtime_suspend() can only be executed for a device | ||
136 | the usage counter of which is equal to zero _and_ either the counter of | ||
137 | 'active' children of which is equal to zero, or the 'power.ignore_children' | ||
138 | flag of which is set. | ||
139 | |||
140 | (4) ->runtime_resume() can only be executed for 'suspended' devices (i.e. the | ||
141 | PM core will only execute ->runtime_resume() for the devices the run-time | ||
142 | PM status of which is 'suspended'). | ||
143 | |||
144 | Additionally, the helper functions provided by the PM core obey the following | ||
145 | rules: | ||
146 | |||
147 | * If ->runtime_suspend() is about to be executed or there's a pending request | ||
148 | to execute it, ->runtime_idle() will not be executed for the same device. | ||
149 | |||
150 | * A request to execute or to schedule the execution of ->runtime_suspend() | ||
151 | will cancel any pending requests to execute ->runtime_idle() for the same | ||
152 | device. | ||
153 | |||
154 | * If ->runtime_resume() is about to be executed or there's a pending request | ||
155 | to execute it, the other callbacks will not be executed for the same device. | ||
156 | |||
157 | * A request to execute ->runtime_resume() will cancel any pending or | ||
158 | scheduled requests to execute the other callbacks for the same device. | ||
159 | |||
160 | 3. Run-time PM Device Fields | ||
161 | |||
162 | The following device run-time PM fields are present in 'struct dev_pm_info', as | ||
163 | defined in include/linux/pm.h: | ||
164 | |||
165 | struct timer_list suspend_timer; | ||
166 | - timer used for scheduling (delayed) suspend request | ||
167 | |||
168 | unsigned long timer_expires; | ||
169 | - timer expiration time, in jiffies (if this is different from zero, the | ||
170 | timer is running and will expire at that time, otherwise the timer is not | ||
171 | running) | ||
172 | |||
173 | struct work_struct work; | ||
174 | - work structure used for queuing up requests (i.e. work items in pm_wq) | ||
175 | |||
176 | wait_queue_head_t wait_queue; | ||
177 | - wait queue used if any of the helper functions needs to wait for another | ||
178 | one to complete | ||
179 | |||
180 | spinlock_t lock; | ||
181 | - lock used for synchronisation | ||
182 | |||
183 | atomic_t usage_count; | ||
184 | - the usage counter of the device | ||
185 | |||
186 | atomic_t child_count; | ||
187 | - the count of 'active' children of the device | ||
188 | |||
189 | unsigned int ignore_children; | ||
190 | - if set, the value of child_count is ignored (but still updated) | ||
191 | |||
192 | unsigned int disable_depth; | ||
193 | - used for disabling the helper funcions (they work normally if this is | ||
194 | equal to zero); the initial value of it is 1 (i.e. run-time PM is | ||
195 | initially disabled for all devices) | ||
196 | |||
197 | unsigned int runtime_error; | ||
198 | - if set, there was a fatal error (one of the callbacks returned error code | ||
199 | as described in Section 2), so the helper funtions will not work until | ||
200 | this flag is cleared; this is the error code returned by the failing | ||
201 | callback | ||
202 | |||
203 | unsigned int idle_notification; | ||
204 | - if set, ->runtime_idle() is being executed | ||
205 | |||
206 | unsigned int request_pending; | ||
207 | - if set, there's a pending request (i.e. a work item queued up into pm_wq) | ||
208 | |||
209 | enum rpm_request request; | ||
210 | - type of request that's pending (valid if request_pending is set) | ||
211 | |||
212 | unsigned int deferred_resume; | ||
213 | - set if ->runtime_resume() is about to be run while ->runtime_suspend() is | ||
214 | being executed for that device and it is not practical to wait for the | ||
215 | suspend to complete; means "start a resume as soon as you've suspended" | ||
216 | |||
217 | enum rpm_status runtime_status; | ||
218 | - the run-time PM status of the device; this field's initial value is | ||
219 | RPM_SUSPENDED, which means that each device is initially regarded by the | ||
220 | PM core as 'suspended', regardless of its real hardware status | ||
221 | |||
222 | All of the above fields are members of the 'power' member of 'struct device'. | ||
223 | |||
224 | 4. Run-time PM Device Helper Functions | ||
225 | |||
226 | The following run-time PM helper functions are defined in | ||
227 | drivers/base/power/runtime.c and include/linux/pm_runtime.h: | ||
228 | |||
229 | void pm_runtime_init(struct device *dev); | ||
230 | - initialize the device run-time PM fields in 'struct dev_pm_info' | ||
231 | |||
232 | void pm_runtime_remove(struct device *dev); | ||
233 | - make sure that the run-time PM of the device will be disabled after | ||
234 | removing the device from device hierarchy | ||
235 | |||
236 | int pm_runtime_idle(struct device *dev); | ||
237 | - execute ->runtime_idle() for the device's bus type; returns 0 on success | ||
238 | or error code on failure, where -EINPROGRESS means that ->runtime_idle() | ||
239 | is already being executed | ||
240 | |||
241 | int pm_runtime_suspend(struct device *dev); | ||
242 | - execute ->runtime_suspend() for the device's bus type; returns 0 on | ||
243 | success, 1 if the device's run-time PM status was already 'suspended', or | ||
244 | error code on failure, where -EAGAIN or -EBUSY means it is safe to attempt | ||
245 | to suspend the device again in future | ||
246 | |||
247 | int pm_runtime_resume(struct device *dev); | ||
248 | - execute ->runtime_resume() for the device's bus type; returns 0 on | ||
249 | success, 1 if the device's run-time PM status was already 'active' or | ||
250 | error code on failure, where -EAGAIN means it may be safe to attempt to | ||
251 | resume the device again in future, but 'power.runtime_error' should be | ||
252 | checked additionally | ||
253 | |||
254 | int pm_request_idle(struct device *dev); | ||
255 | - submit a request to execute ->runtime_idle() for the device's bus type | ||
256 | (the request is represented by a work item in pm_wq); returns 0 on success | ||
257 | or error code if the request has not been queued up | ||
258 | |||
259 | int pm_schedule_suspend(struct device *dev, unsigned int delay); | ||
260 | - schedule the execution of ->runtime_suspend() for the device's bus type | ||
261 | in future, where 'delay' is the time to wait before queuing up a suspend | ||
262 | work item in pm_wq, in milliseconds (if 'delay' is zero, the work item is | ||
263 | queued up immediately); returns 0 on success, 1 if the device's PM | ||
264 | run-time status was already 'suspended', or error code if the request | ||
265 | hasn't been scheduled (or queued up if 'delay' is 0); if the execution of | ||
266 | ->runtime_suspend() is already scheduled and not yet expired, the new | ||
267 | value of 'delay' will be used as the time to wait | ||
268 | |||
269 | int pm_request_resume(struct device *dev); | ||
270 | - submit a request to execute ->runtime_resume() for the device's bus type | ||
271 | (the request is represented by a work item in pm_wq); returns 0 on | ||
272 | success, 1 if the device's run-time PM status was already 'active', or | ||
273 | error code if the request hasn't been queued up | ||
274 | |||
275 | void pm_runtime_get_noresume(struct device *dev); | ||
276 | - increment the device's usage counter | ||
277 | |||
278 | int pm_runtime_get(struct device *dev); | ||
279 | - increment the device's usage counter, run pm_request_resume(dev) and | ||
280 | return its result | ||
281 | |||
282 | int pm_runtime_get_sync(struct device *dev); | ||
283 | - increment the device's usage counter, run pm_runtime_resume(dev) and | ||
284 | return its result | ||
285 | |||
286 | void pm_runtime_put_noidle(struct device *dev); | ||
287 | - decrement the device's usage counter | ||
288 | |||
289 | int pm_runtime_put(struct device *dev); | ||
290 | - decrement the device's usage counter, run pm_request_idle(dev) and return | ||
291 | its result | ||
292 | |||
293 | int pm_runtime_put_sync(struct device *dev); | ||
294 | - decrement the device's usage counter, run pm_runtime_idle(dev) and return | ||
295 | its result | ||
296 | |||
297 | void pm_runtime_enable(struct device *dev); | ||
298 | - enable the run-time PM helper functions to run the device bus type's | ||
299 | run-time PM callbacks described in Section 2 | ||
300 | |||
301 | int pm_runtime_disable(struct device *dev); | ||
302 | - prevent the run-time PM helper functions from running the device bus | ||
303 | type's run-time PM callbacks, make sure that all of the pending run-time | ||
304 | PM operations on the device are either completed or canceled; returns | ||
305 | 1 if there was a resume request pending and it was necessary to execute | ||
306 | ->runtime_resume() for the device's bus type to satisfy that request, | ||
307 | otherwise 0 is returned | ||
308 | |||
309 | void pm_suspend_ignore_children(struct device *dev, bool enable); | ||
310 | - set/unset the power.ignore_children flag of the device | ||
311 | |||
312 | int pm_runtime_set_active(struct device *dev); | ||
313 | - clear the device's 'power.runtime_error' flag, set the device's run-time | ||
314 | PM status to 'active' and update its parent's counter of 'active' | ||
315 | children as appropriate (it is only valid to use this function if | ||
316 | 'power.runtime_error' is set or 'power.disable_depth' is greater than | ||
317 | zero); it will fail and return error code if the device has a parent | ||
318 | which is not active and the 'power.ignore_children' flag of which is unset | ||
319 | |||
320 | void pm_runtime_set_suspended(struct device *dev); | ||
321 | - clear the device's 'power.runtime_error' flag, set the device's run-time | ||
322 | PM status to 'suspended' and update its parent's counter of 'active' | ||
323 | children as appropriate (it is only valid to use this function if | ||
324 | 'power.runtime_error' is set or 'power.disable_depth' is greater than | ||
325 | zero) | ||
326 | |||
327 | It is safe to execute the following helper functions from interrupt context: | ||
328 | |||
329 | pm_request_idle() | ||
330 | pm_schedule_suspend() | ||
331 | pm_request_resume() | ||
332 | pm_runtime_get_noresume() | ||
333 | pm_runtime_get() | ||
334 | pm_runtime_put_noidle() | ||
335 | pm_runtime_put() | ||
336 | pm_suspend_ignore_children() | ||
337 | pm_runtime_set_active() | ||
338 | pm_runtime_set_suspended() | ||
339 | pm_runtime_enable() | ||
340 | |||
341 | 5. Run-time PM Initialization, Device Probing and Removal | ||
342 | |||
343 | Initially, the run-time PM is disabled for all devices, which means that the | ||
344 | majority of the run-time PM helper funtions described in Section 4 will return | ||
345 | -EAGAIN until pm_runtime_enable() is called for the device. | ||
346 | |||
347 | In addition to that, the initial run-time PM status of all devices is | ||
348 | 'suspended', but it need not reflect the actual physical state of the device. | ||
349 | Thus, if the device is initially active (i.e. it is able to process I/O), its | ||
350 | run-time PM status must be changed to 'active', with the help of | ||
351 | pm_runtime_set_active(), before pm_runtime_enable() is called for the device. | ||
352 | |||
353 | However, if the device has a parent and the parent's run-time PM is enabled, | ||
354 | calling pm_runtime_set_active() for the device will affect the parent, unless | ||
355 | the parent's 'power.ignore_children' flag is set. Namely, in that case the | ||
356 | parent won't be able to suspend at run time, using the PM core's helper | ||
357 | functions, as long as the child's status is 'active', even if the child's | ||
358 | run-time PM is still disabled (i.e. pm_runtime_enable() hasn't been called for | ||
359 | the child yet or pm_runtime_disable() has been called for it). For this reason, | ||
360 | once pm_runtime_set_active() has been called for the device, pm_runtime_enable() | ||
361 | should be called for it too as soon as reasonably possible or its run-time PM | ||
362 | status should be changed back to 'suspended' with the help of | ||
363 | pm_runtime_set_suspended(). | ||
364 | |||
365 | If the default initial run-time PM status of the device (i.e. 'suspended') | ||
366 | reflects the actual state of the device, its bus type's or its driver's | ||
367 | ->probe() callback will likely need to wake it up using one of the PM core's | ||
368 | helper functions described in Section 4. In that case, pm_runtime_resume() | ||
369 | should be used. Of course, for this purpose the device's run-time PM has to be | ||
370 | enabled earlier by calling pm_runtime_enable(). | ||
371 | |||
372 | If the device bus type's or driver's ->probe() or ->remove() callback runs | ||
373 | pm_runtime_suspend() or pm_runtime_idle() or their asynchronous counterparts, | ||
374 | they will fail returning -EAGAIN, because the device's usage counter is | ||
375 | incremented by the core before executing ->probe() and ->remove(). Still, it | ||
376 | may be desirable to suspend the device as soon as ->probe() or ->remove() has | ||
377 | finished, so the PM core uses pm_runtime_idle_sync() to invoke the device bus | ||
378 | type's ->runtime_idle() callback at that time. | ||

410 | Early Patching | ||
411 | ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ | ||
412 | When CONFIG_SND_HDA_PATCH_LOADER=y is set, you can pass a "patch" as a | ||
413 | firmware file for modifying the HD-audio setup before initializing the | ||
414 | codec. This can work basically like the reconfiguration via sysfs in | ||
415 | the above, but it does it before the first codec configuration. | ||
416 | |||
417 | A patch file is a plain text file which looks like below: | ||
418 | |||
419 | ------------------------------------------------------------------------ | ||
420 | [codec] | ||
421 | 0x12345678 0xabcd1234 2 | ||
422 | |||
423 | [model] | ||
424 | auto | ||
425 | |||
426 | [pincfg] | ||
427 | 0x12 0x411111f0 | ||
428 | |||
429 | [verb] | ||
430 | 0x20 0x500 0x03 | ||
431 | 0x20 0x400 0xff | ||
432 | |||
433 | [hint] | ||
434 | hp_detect = yes | ||
435 | ------------------------------------------------------------------------ | ||
436 | |||
437 | The file needs to have a line `[codec]`. The next line should contain | ||
438 | three numbers indicating the codec vendor-id (0x12345678 in the | ||
439 | example), the codec subsystem-id (0xabcd1234) and the address (2) of | ||
440 | the codec. The rest patch entries are applied to this specified codec | ||
441 | until another codec entry is given. | ||
442 | |||
443 | The `[model]` line allows to change the model name of the each codec. | ||
444 | In the example above, it will be changed to model=auto. | ||
445 | Note that this overrides the module option. | ||
446 | |||
447 | After the `[pincfg]` line, the contents are parsed as the initial | ||
448 | default pin-configurations just like `user_pin_configs` sysfs above. | ||
449 | The values can be shown in user_pin_configs sysfs file, too. | ||
450 | |||
451 | Similarly, the lines after `[verb]` are parsed as `init_verbs` | ||
452 | sysfs entries, and the lines after `[hint]` are parsed as `hints` | ||
453 | sysfs entries, respectively. | ||
454 | |||
455 | The hd-audio driver reads the file via request_firmware(). Thus, | ||
456 | a patch file has to be located on the appropriate firmware path, | ||
457 | typically, /lib/firmware. For example, when you pass the option | ||
458 | `patch=hda-init.fw`, the file /lib/firmware/hda-init-fw must be | ||
459 | present. | ||
460 | |||
461 | The patch module option is specific to each card instance, and you | ||
462 | need to give one file name for each instance, separated by commas. | ||
463 | For example, if you have two cards, one for an on-board analog and one | ||
464 | for an HDMI video board, you may pass patch option like below: | ||
465 | ------------------------------------------------------------------------ | ||
466 | options snd-hda-intel patch=on-board-patch,hdmi-patch | ||

14 | Terminology used in this Document | ||
15 | --------------------------------- | ||
16 | |||
17 | tail - where new writes happen in the ring buffer. | ||
18 | |||
19 | head - where new reads happen in the ring buffer. | ||
20 | |||
21 | producer - the task that writes into the ring buffer (same as writer) | ||
22 | |||
23 | writer - same as producer | ||
24 | |||
25 | consumer - the task that reads from the buffer (same as reader) | ||
26 | |||
27 | reader - same as consumer. | ||
28 | |||
29 | reader_page - A page outside the ring buffer used solely (for the most part) | ||
30 | by the reader. | ||
31 | |||
32 | head_page - a pointer to the page that the reader will use next | ||
33 | |||
34 | tail_page - a pointer to the page that will be written to next | ||
35 | |||
36 | commit_page - a pointer to the page with the last finished non nested write. | ||
37 | |||
38 | cmpxchg - hardware assisted atomic transaction that performs the following: | ||
39 | |||
40 | A = B iff previous A == C | ||
41 | |||
42 | R = cmpxchg(A, C, B) is saying that we replace A with B if and only if | ||
43 | current A is equal to C, and we put the old (current) A into R | ||
44 | |||
45 | R gets the previous A regardless if A is updated with B or not. | ||
46 | |||
47 | To see if the update was successful a compare of R == C may be used. | ||
48 | |||
49 | The Generic Ring Buffer | ||
50 | ----------------------- | ||
51 | |||
52 | The ring buffer can be used in either an overwrite mode or in | ||
53 | producer/consumer mode. | ||
54 | |||
55 | Producer/consumer mode is where the producer were to fill up the | ||
56 | buffer before the consumer could free up anything, the producer | ||
57 | will stop writing to the buffer. This will lose most recent events. | ||
58 | |||
59 | Overwrite mode is where the produce were to fill up the buffer | ||
60 | before the consumer could free up anything, the producer will | ||
61 | overwrite the older data. This will lose the oldest events. | ||
62 | |||
63 | No two writers can write at the same time (on the same per cpu buffer), | ||
64 | but a writer may interrupt another writer, but it must finish writing | ||
65 | before the previous writer may continue. This is very important to the | ||
66 | algorithm. The writers act like a "stack". The way interrupts works | ||
67 | enforces this behavior. | ||
68 | |||
69 | |||
70 | writer1 start | ||
71 | <preempted> writer2 start | ||
72 | <preempted> writer3 start | ||
73 | writer3 finishes | ||
74 | writer2 finishes | ||
75 | writer1 finishes | ||
76 | |||
77 | This is very much like a writer being preempted by an interrupt and | ||
78 | the interrupt doing a write as well. | ||
79 | |||
80 | Readers can happen at any time. But no two readers may run at the | ||
81 | same time, nor can a reader preempt/interrupt another reader. A reader | ||
82 | can not preempt/interrupt a writer, but it may read/consume from the | ||
83 | buffer at the same time as a writer is writing, but the reader must be | ||
84 | on another processor to do so. A reader may read on its own processor | ||
85 | and can be preempted by a writer. | ||
86 | |||
87 | A writer can preempt a reader, but a reader can not preempt a writer. | ||
88 | But a reader can read the buffer at the same time (on another processor) | ||
89 | as a writer. | ||
90 | |||
91 | The ring buffer is made up of a list of pages held together by a link list. | ||
92 | |||
93 | At initialization a reader page is allocated for the reader that is not | ||
94 | part of the ring buffer. | ||
95 | |||
96 | The head_page, tail_page and commit_page are all initialized to point | ||
97 | to the same page. | ||
98 | |||
99 | The reader page is initialized to have its next pointer pointing to | ||
100 | the head page, and its previous pointer pointing to a page before | ||
101 | the head page. | ||
102 | |||
103 | The reader has its own page to use. At start up time, this page is | ||
104 | allocated but is not attached to the list. When the reader wants | ||
105 | to read from the buffer, if its page is empty (like it is on start up) | ||
106 | it will swap its page with the head_page. The old reader page will | ||
107 | become part of the ring buffer and the head_page will be removed. | ||
108 | The page after the inserted page (old reader_page) will become the | ||
109 | new head page. | ||
110 | |||
111 | Once the new page is given to the reader, the reader could do what | ||
112 | it wants with it, as long as a writer has left that page. | ||
113 | |||
114 | A sample of how the reader page is swapped: Note this does not | ||
115 | show the head page in the buffer, it is for demonstrating a swap | ||
116 | only. | ||

171 | |||
172 | It is possible that the page swapped is the commit page and the tail page, | ||
173 | if what is in the ring buffer is less than what is held in a buffer page. | ||

189 | +---+ +---+ +---+ +---+ | ||
190 | |||
191 | This case is still valid for this algorithm. | ||
192 | When the writer leaves the page, it simply goes into the ring buffer | ||
193 | since the reader page still points to the next location in the ring | ||
194 | buffer. | ||
195 | |||
196 | |||
197 | The main pointers: | ||
198 | |||
199 | reader page - The page used solely by the reader and is not part | ||
200 | of the ring buffer (may be swapped in) | ||
201 | |||
202 | head page - the next page in the ring buffer that will be swapped | ||
203 | with the reader page. | ||
204 | |||
205 | tail page - the page where the next write will take place. | ||
206 | |||
207 | commit page - the page that last finished a write. | ||
208 | |||
209 | The commit page only is updated by the outer most writer in the | ||
210 | writer stack. A writer that preempts another writer will not move the | ||
211 | commit page. | ||
212 | |||
213 | When data is written into the ring buffer, a position is reserved | ||
214 | in the ring buffer and passed back to the writer. When the writer | ||
215 | is finished writing data into that position, it commits the write. | ||
216 | |||
217 | Another write (or a read) may take place at anytime during this | ||
218 | transaction. If another write happens it must finish before continuing | ||
219 | with the previous write. | ||
220 | |||
221 | |||
222 | Write reserve: | ||
223 | |||
224 | Buffer page | ||
225 | +---------+ | ||
226 | |written | | ||
227 | +---------+ <--- given back to writer (current commit) | ||
228 | |reserved | | ||
229 | +---------+ <--- tail pointer | ||
230 | | empty | | ||
231 | +---------+ | ||
232 | |||
233 | Write commit: | ||

237 | |written | | ||
238 | +---------+ | ||
239 | |written | | ||
240 | +---------+ <--- next positon for write (current commit) | ||
241 | | empty | | ||
242 | +---------+ | ||
243 | |||
244 | |||
245 | If a write happens after the first reserve: | ||
246 | |||
247 | Buffer page | ||
248 | +---------+ | ||
249 | |written | | ||
250 | +---------+ <-- current commit | ||
251 | |reserved | | ||
252 | +---------+ <--- given back to second writer | ||
253 | |reserved | | ||
254 | +---------+ <--- tail pointer | ||
255 | |||
256 | After second writer commits: | ||
257 | |||
258 | |||
259 | Buffer page | ||
260 | +---------+ | ||
261 | |written | | ||
262 | +---------+ <--(last full commit) | ||
263 | |reserved | | ||
264 | +---------+ | ||
265 | |pending | | ||
266 | |commit | | ||
267 | +---------+ <--- tail pointer | ||
268 | |||
269 | When the first writer commits: | ||
270 | |||
271 | Buffer page | ||
272 | +---------+ | ||
273 | |written | | ||
274 | +---------+ | ||
275 | |written | | ||
276 | +---------+ | ||
277 | |written | | ||
278 | +---------+ <--(last full commit and tail pointer) | ||
279 | |||
280 | |||
281 | The commit pointer points to the last write location that was | ||
282 | committed without preempting another write. When a write that | ||
283 | preempted another write is committed, it only becomes a pending commit | ||
284 | and will not be a full commit till all writes have been committed. | ||
285 | |||
286 | The commit page points to the page that has the last full commit. | ||
287 | The tail page points to the page with the last write (before | ||
288 | committing). | ||
289 | |||
290 | The tail page is always equal to or after the commit page. It may | ||
291 | be several pages ahead. If the tail page catches up to the commit | ||
292 | page then no more writes may take place (regardless of the mode | ||
293 | of the ring buffer: overwrite and produce/consumer). | ||
294 | |||
295 | The order of pages are: | ||
296 | |||
297 | head page | ||
298 | commit page | ||
299 | tail page | ||
300 | |||
301 | Possible scenario: | ||
302 | tail page | ||
303 | head page commit page | | ||

308 | --->| |<---| |<---| |<---| |<--- | ||
309 | +---+ +---+ +---+ +---+ | ||
310 | |||
311 | There is a special case that the head page is after either the commit page | ||
312 | and possibly the tail page. That is when the commit (and tail) page has been | ||
313 | swapped with the reader page. This is because the head page is always | ||
314 | part of the ring buffer, but the reader page is not. When ever there | ||
315 | has been less than a full page that has been committed inside the ring buffer, | ||
316 | and a reader swaps out a page, it will be swapping out the commit page. | ||
317 | |||
318 | |||

333 | ^ | ||
334 | | | ||
335 | head page | ||
336 | |||
337 | |||
338 | In this case, the head page will not move when the tail and commit | ||
339 | move back into the ring buffer. | ||
340 | |||
341 | The reader can not swap a page into the ring buffer if the commit page | ||
342 | is still on that page. If the read meets the last commit (real commit | ||
343 | not pending or reserved), then there is nothing more to read. | ||
344 | The buffer is considered empty until another full commit finishes. | ||
345 | |||
346 | When the tail meets the head page, if the buffer is in overwrite mode, | ||
347 | the head page will be pushed ahead one. If the buffer is in producer/consumer | ||
348 | mode, the write will fail. | ||

387 | Note, the reader page will still point to the previous head page. | ||

389 | |||
390 | |||
391 | Making the Ring Buffer Lockless: | ||
392 | -------------------------------- | ||
393 | |||
394 | The main idea behind the lockless algorithm is to combine the moving | ||
395 | of the head_page pointer with the swapping of pages with the reader. | ||
396 | State flags are placed inside the pointer to the page. To do this, | ||
397 | each page must be aligned in memory by 4 bytes. This will allow the 2 | ||
398 | least significant bits of the address to be used as flags. Since | ||
399 | they will always be zero for the address. To get the address, | ||
400 | simply mask out the flags. | ||
401 | |||
402 | MASK = ~3 | ||
403 | |||
404 | address & MASK | ||
405 | |||
406 | Two flags will be kept by these two bits: | ||
407 | |||
408 | HEADER - the page being pointed to is a head page | ||
409 | |||
410 | UPDATE - the page being pointed to is being updated by a writer | ||
411 | and was or is about to be a head page. | ||
412 | |||
413 | |||
414 | reader page | ||
415 | | | ||
416 | v | ||
417 | +---+ | ||
418 | | |------+ | ||
419 | +---+ | | ||
420 | | | ||
421 | v | ||
422 | +---+ +---+ +---+ +---+ | ||
423 | <---| |--->| |-H->| |--->| |---> | ||
424 | --->| |<---| |<---| |<---| |<--- | ||
425 | +---+ +---+ +---+ +---+ | ||
426 | |||
427 | |||
428 | The above pointer "-H->" would have the HEADER flag set. That is | ||
429 | the next page is the next page to be swapped out by the reader. | ||
430 | This pointer means the next page is the head page. | ||
431 | |||
432 | When the tail page meets the head pointer, it will use cmpxchg to | ||
433 | change the pointer to the UPDATE state: | ||
434 | |||
435 | |||
436 | tail page | ||
437 | | | ||
438 | v | ||
439 | +---+ +---+ +---+ +---+ | ||
440 | <---| |--->| |-H->| |--->| |---> | ||
441 | --->| |<---| |<---| |<---| |<--- | ||
442 | +---+ +---+ +---+ +---+ | ||
443 | |||
444 | tail page | ||
445 | | | ||
446 | v | ||
447 | +---+ +---+ +---+ +---+ | ||
448 | <---| |--->| |-U->| |--->| |---> | ||
449 | --->| |<---| |<---| |<---| |<--- | ||
450 | +---+ +---+ +---+ +---+ | ||
451 | |||
452 | "-U->" represents a pointer in the UPDATE state. | ||
453 | |||
454 | Any access to the reader will need to take some sort of lock to serialize | ||
455 | the readers. But the writers will never take a lock to write to the | ||
456 | ring buffer. This means we only need to worry about a single reader, | ||
457 | and writes only preempt in "stack" formation. | ||
458 | |||
459 | When the reader tries to swap the page with the ring buffer, it | ||
460 | will also use cmpxchg. If the flag bit in the pointer to the | ||
461 | head page does not have the HEADER flag set, the compare will fail | ||
462 | and the reader will need to look for the new head page and try again. | ||
463 | Note, the flag UPDATE and HEADER are never set at the same time. | ||
464 | |||
465 | The reader swaps the reader page as follows: | ||
466 | |||
467 | +------+ | ||
468 | |reader| RING BUFFER | ||
469 | |page | | ||
470 | +------+ | ||
471 | +---+ +---+ +---+ | ||
472 | | |--->| |--->| | | ||
473 | | |<---| |<---| | | ||
474 | +---+ +---+ +---+ | ||
475 | ^ | ^ | | ||
476 | | +---------------+ | | ||
477 | +-----H-------------+ | ||
478 | |||
479 | The reader sets the reader page next pointer as HEADER to the page after | ||
480 | the head page. | ||
481 | |||
482 | |||
483 | +------+ | ||
484 | |reader| RING BUFFER | ||
485 | |page |-------H-----------+ | ||
486 | +------+ v | ||
487 | | +---+ +---+ +---+ | ||
488 | | | |--->| |--->| | | ||
489 | | | |<---| |<---| |<-+ | ||
490 | | +---+ +---+ +---+ | | ||
491 | | ^ | ^ | | | ||
492 | | | +---------------+ | | | ||
493 | | +-----H-------------+ | | ||
494 | +--------------------------------------+ | ||
495 | |||
496 | It does a cmpxchg with the pointer to the previous head page to make it | ||
497 | point to the reader page. Note that the new pointer does not have the HEADER | ||
498 | flag set. This action atomically moves the head page forward. | ||
499 | |||
500 | +------+ | ||
501 | |reader| RING BUFFER | ||
502 | |page |-------H-----------+ | ||
503 | +------+ v | ||

509 | | | +-------------+ | | | ||
510 | | +-----------------------------+ | | ||
511 | +------------------------------------+ | ||
512 | |||
513 | After the new head page is set, the previous pointer of the head page is | ||
514 | updated to the reader page. | ||
515 | |||
516 | +------+ | ||
517 | |reader| RING BUFFER | ||
518 | |page |-------H-----------+ | ||

540 | +------------------------------------+ | ||
541 | |||
542 | Another important point. The page that the reader page points back to | ||
543 | by its previous pointer (the one that now points to the new head page) | ||
544 | never points back to the reader page. That is because the reader page is | ||
545 | not part of the ring buffer. Traversing the ring buffer via the next pointers | ||
546 | will always stay in the ring buffer. Traversing the ring buffer via the | ||
547 | prev pointers may not. | ||
548 | |||
549 | Note, the way to determine a reader page is simply by examining the previous | ||
550 | pointer of the page. If the next pointer of the previous page does not | ||
551 | point back to the original page, then the original page is a reader page: | ||
552 | |||
553 | |||
554 | +--------+ | ||
555 | | reader | next +----+ | ||
556 | | page |-------->| |<====== (buffer page) | ||
557 | +--------+ +----+ | ||
558 | | | ^ | ||
559 | | v | next | ||
560 | prev | +----+ | ||
561 | +------------->| | | ||
562 | +----+ | ||
563 | |||
564 | The way the head page moves forward: | ||
565 | |||
566 | When the tail page meets the head page and the buffer is in overwrite mode | ||
567 | and more writes take place, the head page must be moved forward before the | ||
568 | writer may move the tail page. The way this is done is that the writer | ||
569 | performs a cmpxchg to convert the pointer to the head page from the HEADER | ||
570 | flag to have the UPDATE flag set. Once this is done, the reader will | ||
571 | not be able to swap the head page from the buffer, nor will it be able to | ||
572 | move the head page, until the writer is finished with the move. | ||
573 | |||
574 | This eliminates any races that the reader can have on the writer. The reader | ||
575 | must spin, and this is why the reader can not preempt the writer. | ||
576 | |||
577 | tail page | ||
578 | | | ||
579 | v | ||

589 | <---| |--->| |-U->| |--->| |---> | ||
590 | --->| |<---| |<---| |<---| |<--- | ||
591 | +---+ +---+ +---+ +---+ | ||
592 | |||
593 | The following page will be made into the new head page. | ||
594 | |||
595 | tail page | ||
596 | | | ||
597 | v | ||
598 | +---+ +---+ +---+ +---+ | ||
599 | <---| |--->| |-U->| |-H->| |---> | ||
600 | --->| |<---| |<---| |<---| |<--- | ||
601 | +---+ +---+ +---+ +---+ | ||
602 | |||
603 | After the new head page has been set, we can set the old head page | ||
604 | pointer back to NORMAL. | ||
605 | |||
606 | tail page | ||
607 | | | ||
608 | v | ||
609 | +---+ +---+ +---+ +---+ | ||
610 | <---| |--->| |--->| |-H->| |---> | ||
611 | --->| |<---| |<---| |<---| |<--- | ||
612 | +---+ +---+ +---+ +---+ | ||
613 | |||
614 | After the head page has been moved, the tail page may now move forward. | ||
615 | |||
616 | tail page | ||

622 | +---+ +---+ +---+ +---+ | ||
623 | |||
624 | |||
625 | The above are the trivial updates. Now for the more complex scenarios. | ||
626 | |||
627 | |||
628 | As stated before, if enough writes preempt the first write, the | ||
629 | tail page may make it all the way around the buffer and meet the commit | ||
630 | page. At this time, we must start dropping writes (usually with some kind | ||
631 | of warning to the user). But what happens if the commit was still on the | ||
632 | reader page? The commit page is not part of the ring buffer. The tail page | ||
633 | must account for this. | ||
634 | |||
635 | |||
636 | reader page commit page | ||
637 | | | | ||
638 | v | | ||

644 | | | ||

648 | --->| |<---| |<---| |<---| |<--- | ||
649 | +---+ +---+ +---+ +---+ | ||
650 | ^ | ||
651 | | | ||
652 | tail page | ||
653 | |||
654 | If the tail page were to simply push the head page forward, the commit when | ||
655 | leaving the reader page would not be pointing to the correct page. | ||
656 | |||
657 | The solution to this is to test if the commit page is on the reader page | ||
658 | before pushing the head page. If it is, then it can be assumed that the | ||
659 | tail page wrapped the buffer, and we must drop new writes. | ||
660 | |||
661 | This is not a race condition, because the commit page can only be moved | ||
662 | by the outter most writer (the writer that was preempted). | ||
663 | This means that the commit will not move while a writer is moving the | ||
664 | tail page. The reader can not swap the reader page if it is also being | ||
665 | used as the commit page. The reader can simply check that the commit | ||
666 | is off the reader page. Once the commit page leaves the reader page | ||
667 | it will never go back on it unless a reader does another swap with the | ||
668 | buffer page that is also the commit page. | ||
669 | |||
670 | |||
671 | Nested writes | ||
672 | ------------- | ||
673 | |||
674 | In the pushing forward of the tail page we must first push forward | ||
675 | the head page if the head page is the next page. If the head page | ||
676 | is not the next page, the tail page is simply updated with a cmpxchg. | ||
677 | |||
678 | Only writers move the tail page. This must be done atomically to protect | ||
679 | against nested writers. | ||
680 | |||
681 | temp_page = tail_page | ||
682 | next_page = temp_page->next | ||
683 | cmpxchg(tail_page, temp_page, next_page) | ||
684 | |||
685 | The above will update the tail page if it is still pointing to the expected | ||
686 | page. If this fails, a nested write pushed it forward, the the current write | ||
687 | does not need to push it. | ||
688 | |||
689 | |||
690 | temp page | ||
691 | | | ||
692 | v | ||
693 | tail page | ||
694 | | | ||
695 | v | ||
696 | +---+ +---+ +---+ +---+ | ||
697 | <---| |--->| |--->| |--->| |---> | ||
698 | --->| |<---| |<---| |<---| |<--- | ||
699 | +---+ +---+ +---+ +---+ | ||
700 | |||
701 | Nested write comes in and moves the tail page forward: | ||
702 | |||
703 | tail page (moved by nested writer) | ||
704 | temp page | | ||
705 | | | | ||
706 | v v | ||
707 | +---+ +---+ +---+ +---+ | ||
708 | <---| |--->| |--->| |--->| |---> | ||
709 | --->| |<---| |<---| |<---| |<--- | ||
710 | +---+ +---+ +---+ +---+ | ||
711 | |||
712 | The above would fail the cmpxchg, but since the tail page has already | ||
713 | been moved forward, the writer will just try again to reserve storage | ||
714 | on the new tail page. | ||
715 | |||
716 | But the moving of the head page is a bit more complex. | ||
717 | |||
718 | tail page | ||
719 | | | ||
720 | v | ||
721 | +---+ +---+ +---+ +---+ | ||
722 | <---| |--->| |-H->| |--->| |---> | ||
723 | --->| |<---| |<---| |<---| |<--- | ||
724 | +---+ +---+ +---+ +---+ | ||
725 | |||
726 | The write converts the head page pointer to UPDATE. | ||
727 | |||
728 | tail page | ||
729 | | | ||
730 | v | ||
731 | +---+ +---+ +---+ +---+ | ||
732 | <---| |--->| |-U->| |--->| |---> | ||
733 | --->| |<---| |<---| |<---| |<--- | ||
734 | +---+ +---+ +---+ +---+ | ||
735 | |||
736 | But if a nested writer preempts here. It will see that the next | ||
737 | page is a head page, but it is also nested. It will detect that | ||
738 | it is nested and will save that information. The detection is the | ||
739 | fact that it sees the UPDATE flag instead of a HEADER or NORMAL | ||
740 | pointer. | ||
741 | |||
742 | The nested writer will set the new head page pointer. | ||
743 | |||
744 | tail page | ||
745 | | | ||
746 | v | ||
747 | +---+ +---+ +---+ +---+ | ||
748 | <---| |--->| |-U->| |-H->| |---> | ||
749 | --->| |<---| |<---| |<---| |<--- | ||
750 | +---+ +---+ +---+ +---+ | ||
751 | |||
752 | But it will not reset the update back to normal. Only the writer | ||
753 | that converted a pointer from HEAD to UPDATE will convert it back | ||
754 | to NORMAL. | ||
755 | |||
756 | tail page | ||
757 | | | ||
758 | v | ||
759 | +---+ +---+ +---+ +---+ | ||
760 | <---| |--->| |-U->| |-H->| |---> | ||
761 | --->| |<---| |<---| |<---| |<--- | ||
762 | +---+ +---+ +---+ +---+ | ||
763 | |||
764 | After the nested writer finishes, the outer most writer will convert | ||
765 | the UPDATE pointer to NORMAL. | ||
766 | |||
767 | |||
768 | tail page | ||
769 | | | ||
770 | v | ||

773 | --->| |<---| |<---| |<---| |<--- | ||
774 | +---+ +---+ +---+ +---+ | ||
775 | |||
776 | |||
777 | It can be even more complex if several nested writes came in and moved | ||
778 | the tail page ahead several pages: | ||
779 | |||
780 | |||
781 | (first writer) | ||
782 | |||
783 | tail page | ||
784 | | | ||
785 | v | ||
786 | +---+ +---+ +---+ +---+ | ||
787 | <---| |--->| |-H->| |--->| |---> | ||
788 | --->| |<---| |<---| |<---| |<--- | ||
789 | +---+ +---+ +---+ +---+ | ||
790 | |||
791 | The write converts the head page pointer to UPDATE. | ||
792 | |||
793 | tail page | ||
794 | | | ||
795 | v | ||
796 | +---+ +---+ +---+ +---+ | ||
797 | <---| |--->| |-U->| |--->| |---> | ||
798 | --->| |<---| |<---| |<---| |<--- | ||
799 | +---+ +---+ +---+ +---+ | ||
800 | |||
801 | Next writer comes in, and sees the update and sets up the new | ||
802 | head page. | ||
803 | |||
804 | (second writer) | ||
805 | |||
806 | tail page | ||
807 | | | ||
808 | v | ||
809 | +---+ +---+ +---+ +---+ | ||
810 | <---| |--->| |-U->| |-H->| |---> | ||
811 | --->| |<---| |<---| |<---| |<--- | ||
812 | +---+ +---+ +---+ +---+ | ||
813 | |||
814 | The nested writer moves the tail page forward. But does not set the old | ||
815 | update page to NORMAL because it is not the outer most writer. | ||
816 | |||
817 | tail page | ||
818 | | | ||
819 | v | ||
820 | +---+ +---+ +---+ +---+ | ||
821 | <---| |--->| |-U->| |-H->| |---> | ||
822 | --->| |<---| |<---| |<---| |<--- | ||
823 | +---+ +---+ +---+ +---+ | ||
824 | |||
825 | Another writer preempts and sees the page after the tail page is a head page. | ||
826 | It changes it from HEAD to UPDATE. | ||
827 | |||
828 | (third writer) | ||
829 | |||
830 | tail page | ||
831 | | | ||
832 | v | ||
833 | +---+ +---+ +---+ +---+ | ||
834 | <---| |--->| |-U->| |-U->| |---> | ||
835 | --->| |<---| |<---| |<---| |<--- | ||
836 | +---+ +---+ +---+ +---+ | ||
837 | |||
838 | The writer will move the head page forward: | ||
839 | |||
840 | |||
841 | (third writer) | ||
842 | |||
843 | tail page | ||
844 | | | ||
845 | v | ||
846 | +---+ +---+ +---+ +---+ | ||
847 | <---| |--->| |-U->| |-U->| |-H-> | ||
848 | --->| |<---| |<---| |<---| |<--- | ||
849 | +---+ +---+ +---+ +---+ | ||
850 | |||
851 | But now that the third writer did change the HEAD flag to UPDATE it | ||
852 | will convert it to normal: | ||
853 | |||
854 | |||
855 | (third writer) | ||
856 | |||
857 | tail page | ||
858 | | | ||
859 | v | ||
860 | +---+ +---+ +---+ +---+ | ||

863 | +---+ +---+ +---+ +---+ | ||
864 | |||
865 | |||
866 | Then it will move the tail page, and return back to the second writer. | ||
867 | |||
868 | |||
869 | (second writer) | ||
870 | |||
871 | tail page | ||
872 | | | ||

880 | The second writer will fail to move the tail page because it was already | ||
881 | moved, so it will try again and add its data to the new tail page. | ||
882 | It will return to the first writer. | ||

895 | The first writer can not know atomically test if the tail page moved | ||
896 | while it updates the HEAD page. It will then update the head page to | ||
897 | what it thinks is the new head page. | ||

908 | +---+ +---+ +---+ +---+ | ||
909 | |||
910 | Since the cmpxchg returns the old value of the pointer the first writer | ||
911 | will see it succeeded in updating the pointer from NORMAL to HEAD. | ||
912 | But as we can see, this is not good enough. It must also check to see | ||
913 | if the tail page is either where it use to be or on the next page: | ||
914 | |||
915 | |||
916 | (first writer) | ||
917 | |||
918 | A B tail page | ||

922 | <---| |--->| |-U->| |-H->| |-H-> | ||
923 | --->| |<---| |<---| |<---| |<--- | ||
924 | +---+ +---+ +---+ +---+ | ||
925 | |||
926 | If tail page != A and tail page does not equal B, then it must reset the | ||
927 | pointer back to NORMAL. The fact that it only needs to worry about | ||
928 | nested writers, it only needs to check this after setting the HEAD page. | ||
929 | |||
930 | |||
931 | (first writer) | ||
932 | |||
933 | A B tail page | ||

939 | +---+ +---+ +---+ +---+ | ||
940 | |||
941 | Now the writer can update the head page. This is also why the head page must | ||
942 | remain in UPDATE and only reset by the outer most writer. This prevents | ||
943 | the reader from seeing the incorrect head page. | ||

11 | |||
12 | The Si4713 integrates transmit functions for FM broadcast stereo transmission. | ||
13 | The chip also allows integrated receive power scanning to identify low signal | ||
14 | power FM channels. | ||
15 | |||
16 | The chip is programmed using commands and responses. There are also several | ||
17 | properties which can change the behavior of this chip. | ||
18 | |||
19 | Users must comply with local regulations on radio frequency (RF) transmission. | ||
20 | |||
21 | Device driver description | ||
22 | ========================= | ||
23 | There are two modules to handle this device. One is a I2C device driver | ||
24 | and the other is a platform driver. | ||
25 | |||
26 | The I2C device driver exports a v4l2-subdev interface to the kernel. | ||
27 | All properties can also be accessed by v4l2 extended controls interface, by | ||
28 | using the v4l2-subdev calls (g_ext_ctrls, s_ext_ctrls). | ||
29 | |||
30 | The platform device driver exports a v4l2 radio device interface to user land. | ||
31 | So, it uses the I2C device driver as a sub device in order to send the user | ||
32 | commands to the actual device. Basically it is a wrapper to the I2C device driver. | ||
33 | |||
34 | Applications can use v4l2 radio API to specify frequency of operation, mute state, | ||
35 | etc. But mostly of its properties will be present in the extended controls. | ||
36 | |||
37 | When the v4l2 mute property is set to 1 (true), the driver will turn the chip off. | ||
38 | |||
39 | Properties description | ||
40 | ====================== | ||
41 | |||
42 | The properties can be accessed using v4l2 extended controls. | ||
43 | Here is an output from v4l2-ctl util: | ||

130 | RNL | ||
131 | === | ||
132 | |||
133 | This device also has an interface to measure received noise level. To do that, you should | ||
134 | ioctl the device node. Here is an code of example: | ||
135 | |||
136 | int main (int argc, char *argv[]) | ||
137 | { | ||
138 | struct si4713_rnl rnl; | ||
139 | int fd = open("/dev/radio0", O_RDWR); | ||
140 | int rval; | ||
141 | |||
142 | if (argc < 2) | ||
143 | return -EINVAL; | ||
144 | |||
145 | if (fd < 0) | ||
146 | return fd; | ||
147 | |||
148 | sscanf(argv[1], "%d", &rnl.frequency); | ||
149 | |||
150 | rval = ioctl(fd, SI4713_IOC_MEASURE_RNL, &rnl); | ||
151 | if (rval < 0) | ||
152 | return rval; | ||
153 | |||
154 | printf("received noise level: %d\n", rnl.rnl); | ||
155 | |||
156 | close(fd); | ||
157 | } | ||
158 | |||
159 | The struct si4713_rnl and SI4713_IOC_MEASURE_RNL are defined under | ||
160 | include/media/si4713.h. | ||
161 | |||
162 | Stereo/Mono and RDS subchannels | ||
163 | =============================== | ||
164 | |||
165 | The device can also be configured using the available sub channels for | ||
166 | transmission. To do that use S/G_MODULATOR ioctl and configure txsubchans properly. | ||
167 | Refer to v4l2-spec for proper use of this ioctl. | ||
168 | |||
169 | Testing | ||
170 | ======= | ||
171 | Testing is usually done with v4l2-ctl utility for managing FM tuner cards. | ||
172 | The tool can be found in v4l-dvb repository under v4l2-apps/util directory. | ||
173 | |||
174 | Example for setting rds ps name: | ||
175 | # v4l2-ctl -d /dev/radio0 --set-ctrl=rds_ps_name="Dummy" | ||
