+What:           /sys/firmware/memmap/
+Date:           June 2008
+Contact:        Bernhard Walle <bwalle@suse.de>
+Description:
+                On all platforms, the firmware provides a memory map which the
+                kernel reads. The resources from that memory map are registered
+                in the kernel resource tree and exposed to userspace via
+                /proc/iomem (together with other resources).
+
+                However, on most architectures that firmware-provided memory
+                map is modified afterwards by the kernel itself, either because
+                the kernel merges that memory map with other information or
+                just because the user overwrites that memory map via command
+                line.
+
+                kexec needs the raw firmware-provided memory map to setup the
+                parameter segment of the kernel that should be booted with
+                kexec. Also, the raw memory map is useful for debugging. For
+                that reason, /sys/firmware/memmap is an interface that provides
+                the raw memory map to userspace.
+
+                The structure is as follows: Under /sys/firmware/memmap there
+                are subdirectories with the number of the entry as their name:
+
+                        /sys/firmware/memmap/0
+                        /sys/firmware/memmap/1
+                        /sys/firmware/memmap/2
+                        /sys/firmware/memmap/3
+                        ...
+
+                The maximum depends on the number of memory map entries provided
+                by the firmware. The order is just the order that the firmware
+                provides.
+
+                Each directory contains three files:
+
+                start   : The start address (as hexadecimal number with the
+                          '0x' prefix).
+                end     : The end address, inclusive (regardless whether the
+                          firmware provides inclusive or exclusive ranges).
+                type    : Type of the entry as string. See below for a list of
+                          valid types.
+
+                So, for example:
+
+                        /sys/firmware/memmap/0/start
+                        /sys/firmware/memmap/0/end
+                        /sys/firmware/memmap/0/type
+                        /sys/firmware/memmap/1/start
+                        ...
+
+                Currently following types exist:
+
+                  - System RAM
+                  - ACPI Tables
+                  - ACPI Non-volatile Storage
+                  - reserved
+
+                Following shell snippet can be used to display that memory
+                map in a human-readable format:

+SMP IRQ affinity
 
 /proc/irq/IRQ#/smp_affinity specifies which target CPUs are permitted
 for a given IRQ source. It's a bitmask of allowed CPUs. It's not allowed
 to turn off all CPUs, and if an IRQ controller does not support IRQ
 affinity then the value will not change from the default 0xffffffff.
 
+/proc/irq/default_smp_affinity specifies default affinity mask that applies
+to all non-active IRQs. Once IRQ is allocated/activated its affinity bitmask
+will be set to the default mask. It can then be changed as described above.
+Default mask is 0xffffffff.

+1. INTRODUCTION
+
+Modern filesystems feature checksumming of data and metadata to
+protect against data corruption.  However, the detection of the
+corruption is done at read time which could potentially be months
+after the data was written.  At that point the original data that the
+application tried to write is most likely lost.
+
+The solution is to ensure that the disk is actually storing what the
+application meant it to.  Recent additions to both the SCSI family
+protocols (SBC Data Integrity Field, SCC protection proposal) as well
+as SATA/T13 (External Path Protection) try to remedy this by adding
+support for appending integrity metadata to an I/O.  The integrity
+metadata (or protection information in SCSI terminology) includes a
+checksum for each sector as well as an incrementing counter that
+ensures the individual sectors are written in the right order.  And
+for some protection schemes also that the I/O is written to the right
+place on disk.
+
+Current storage controllers and devices implement various protective
+measures, for instance checksumming and scrubbing.  But these
+technologies are working in their own isolated domains or at best
+between adjacent nodes in the I/O path.  The interesting thing about
+DIF and the other integrity extensions is that the protection format
+is well defined and every node in the I/O path can verify the
+integrity of the I/O and reject it if corruption is detected.  This
+allows not only corruption prevention but also isolation of the point
+of failure.
+
+----------------------------------------------------------------------
+2. THE DATA INTEGRITY EXTENSIONS
+
+As written, the protocol extensions only protect the path between
+controller and storage device.  However, many controllers actually
+allow the operating system to interact with the integrity metadata
+(IMD).  We have been working with several FC/SAS HBA vendors to enable
+the protection information to be transferred to and from their
+controllers.
+
+The SCSI Data Integrity Field works by appending 8 bytes of protection
+information to each sector.  The data + integrity metadata is stored
+in 520 byte sectors on disk.  Data + IMD are interleaved when
+transferred between the controller and target.  The T13 proposal is
+similar.
+
+Because it is highly inconvenient for operating systems to deal with
+520 (and 4104) byte sectors, we approached several HBA vendors and
+encouraged them to allow separation of the data and integrity metadata
+scatter-gather lists.
+
+The controller will interleave the buffers on write and split them on
+read.  This means that the Linux can DMA the data buffers to and from
+host memory without changes to the page cache.
+
+Also, the 16-bit CRC checksum mandated by both the SCSI and SATA specs
+is somewhat heavy to compute in software.  Benchmarks found that
+calculating this checksum had a significant impact on system
+performance for a number of workloads.  Some controllers allow a
+lighter-weight checksum to be used when interfacing with the operating
+system.  Emulex, for instance, supports the TCP/IP checksum instead.
+The IP checksum received from the OS is converted to the 16-bit CRC
+when writing and vice versa.  This allows the integrity metadata to be
+generated by Linux or the application at very low cost (comparable to
+software RAID5).
+
+The IP checksum is weaker than the CRC in terms of detecting bit
+errors.  However, the strength is really in the separation of the data
+buffers and the integrity metadata.  These two distinct buffers much
+match up for an I/O to complete.
+
+The separation of the data and integrity metadata buffers as well as
+the choice in checksums is referred to as the Data Integrity
+Extensions.  As these extensions are outside the scope of the protocol
+bodies (T10, T13), Oracle and its partners are trying to standardize
+them within the Storage Networking Industry Association.
+
+----------------------------------------------------------------------
+3. KERNEL CHANGES
+
+The data integrity framework in Linux enables protection information
+to be pinned to I/Os and sent to/received from controllers that
+support it.
+
+The advantage to the integrity extensions in SCSI and SATA is that
+they enable us to protect the entire path from application to storage
+device.  However, at the same time this is also the biggest
+disadvantage. It means that the protection information must be in a
+format that can be understood by the disk.
+
+Generally Linux/POSIX applications are agnostic to the intricacies of
+the storage devices they are accessing.  The virtual filesystem switch
+and the block layer make things like hardware sector size and
+transport protocols completely transparent to the application.
+
+However, this level of detail is required when preparing the
+protection information to send to a disk.  Consequently, the very
+concept of an end-to-end protection scheme is a layering violation.
+It is completely unreasonable for an application to be aware whether
+it is accessing a SCSI or SATA disk.
+
+The data integrity support implemented in Linux attempts to hide this
+from the application.  As far as the application (and to some extent
+the kernel) is concerned, the integrity metadata is opaque information
+that's attached to the I/O.
+
+The current implementation allows the block layer to automatically
+generate the protection information for any I/O.  Eventually the
+intent is to move the integrity metadata calculation to userspace for
+user data.  Metadata and other I/O that originates within the kernel
+will still use the automatic generation interface.
+
+Some storage devices allow each hardware sector to be tagged with a
+16-bit value.  The owner of this tag space is the owner of the block
+device.  I.e. the filesystem in most cases.  The filesystem can use
+this extra space to tag sectors as they see fit.  Because the tag
+space is limited, the block interface allows tagging bigger chunks by
+way of interleaving.  This way, 8*16 bits of information can be
+attached to a typical 4KB filesystem block.
+
+This also means that applications such as fsck and mkfs will need
+access to manipulate the tags from user space.  A passthrough
+interface for this is being worked on.
+
+
+----------------------------------------------------------------------
+4. BLOCK LAYER IMPLEMENTATION DETAILS
+
+4.1 BIO
+
+The data integrity patches add a new field to struct bio when
+CONFIG_BLK_DEV_INTEGRITY is enabled.  bio->bi_integrity is a pointer
+to a struct bip which contains the bio integrity payload.  Essentially
+a bip is a trimmed down struct bio which holds a bio_vec containing
+the integrity metadata and the required housekeeping information (bvec
+pool, vector count, etc.)
+
+A kernel subsystem can enable data integrity protection on a bio by
+calling bio_integrity_alloc(bio).  This will allocate and attach the
+bip to the bio.
+
+Individual pages containing integrity metadata can subsequently be
+attached using bio_integrity_add_page().
+
+bio_free() will automatically free the bip.
+
+
+4.2 BLOCK DEVICE
+
+Because the format of the protection data is tied to the physical
+disk, each block device has been extended with a block integrity
+profile (struct blk_integrity).  This optional profile is registered
+with the block layer using blk_integrity_register().
+
+The profile contains callback functions for generating and verifying
+the protection data, as well as getting and setting application tags.
+The profile also contains a few constants to aid in completing,
+merging and splitting the integrity metadata.
+
+Layered block devices will need to pick a profile that's appropriate
+for all subdevices.  blk_integrity_compare() can help with that.  DM
+and MD linear, RAID0 and RAID1 are currently supported.  RAID4/5/6
+will require extra work due to the application tag.
+
+
+----------------------------------------------------------------------
+5.0 BLOCK LAYER INTEGRITY API
+
+5.1 NORMAL FILESYSTEM
+
+    The normal filesystem is unaware that the underlying block device
+    is capable of sending/receiving integrity metadata.  The IMD will
+    be automatically generated by the block layer at submit_bio() time
+    in case of a WRITE.  A READ request will cause the I/O integrity
+    to be verified upon completion.
+
+    IMD generation and verification can be toggled using the
+
+      /sys/block/<bdev>/integrity/write_generate
+
+    and
+
+      /sys/block/<bdev>/integrity/read_verify
+
+    flags.
+
+
+5.2 INTEGRITY-AWARE FILESYSTEM
+
+    A filesystem that is integrity-aware can prepare I/Os with IMD
+    attached.  It can also use the application tag space if this is
+    supported by the block device.
+
+
+    int bdev_integrity_enabled(block_device, int rw);
+
+      bdev_integrity_enabled() will return 1 if the block device
+      supports integrity metadata transfer for the data direction
+      specified in 'rw'.
+
+      bdev_integrity_enabled() honors the write_generate and
+      read_verify flags in sysfs and will respond accordingly.
+
+
+    int bio_integrity_prep(bio);
+
+      To generate IMD for WRITE and to set up buffers for READ, the
+      filesystem must call bio_integrity_prep(bio).
+
+      Prior to calling this function, the bio data direction and start
+      sector must be set, and the bio should have all data pages
+      added.  It is up to the caller to ensure that the bio does not
+      change while I/O is in progress.
+
+      bio_integrity_prep() should only be called if
+      bio_integrity_enabled() returned 1.
+
+
+    int bio_integrity_tag_size(bio);
+
+      If the filesystem wants to use the application tag space it will
+      first have to find out how much storage space is available.
+      Because tag space is generally limited (usually 2 bytes per
+      sector regardless of sector size), the integrity framework
+      supports interleaving the information between the sectors in an
+      I/O.
+
+      Filesystems can call bio_integrity_tag_size(bio) to find out how
+      many bytes of storage are available for that particular bio.
+
+      Another option is bdev_get_tag_size(block_device) which will
+      return the number of available bytes per hardware sector.
+
+
+    int bio_integrity_set_tag(bio, void *tag_buf, len);
+
+      After a successful return from bio_integrity_prep(),
+      bio_integrity_set_tag() can be used to attach an opaque tag
+      buffer to a bio.  Obviously this only makes sense if the I/O is
+      a WRITE.
+
+
+    int bio_integrity_get_tag(bio, void *tag_buf, len);
+
+      Similarly, at READ I/O completion time the filesystem can
+      retrieve the tag buffer using bio_integrity_get_tag().
+
+
+6.3 PASSING EXISTING INTEGRITY METADATA
+
+    Filesystems that either generate their own integrity metadata or
+    are capable of transferring IMD from user space can use the
+    following calls:
+
+
+    struct bip * bio_integrity_alloc(bio, gfp_mask, nr_pages);
+
+      Allocates the bio integrity payload and hangs it off of the bio.
+      nr_pages indicate how many pages of protection data need to be
+      stored in the integrity bio_vec list (similar to bio_alloc()).
+
+      The integrity payload will be freed at bio_free() time.
+
+
+    int bio_integrity_add_page(bio, page, len, offset);
+
+      Attaches a page containing integrity metadata to an existing
+      bio.  The bio must have an existing bip,
+      i.e. bio_integrity_alloc() must have been called.  For a WRITE,
+      the integrity metadata in the pages must be in a format
+      understood by the target device with the notable exception that
+      the sector numbers will be remapped as the request traverses the
+      I/O stack.  This implies that the pages added using this call
+      will be modified during I/O!  The first reference tag in the
+      integrity metadata must have a value of bip->bip_sector.
+
+      Pages can be added using bio_integrity_add_page() as long as
+      there is room in the bip bio_vec array (nr_pages).
+
+      Upon completion of a READ operation, the attached pages will
+      contain the integrity metadata received from the storage device.
+      It is up to the receiver to process them and verify data
+      integrity upon completion.
+
+
+6.4 REGISTERING A BLOCK DEVICE AS CAPABLE OF EXCHANGING INTEGRITY
+    METADATA
+
+    To enable integrity exchange on a block device the gendisk must be
+    registered as capable:
+
+    int blk_integrity_register(gendisk, blk_integrity);
+
+      The blk_integrity struct is a template and should contain the
+      following:
+
+        static struct blk_integrity my_profile = {
+            .name                   = "STANDARDSBODY-TYPE-VARIANT-CSUM",
+            .generate_fn            = my_generate_fn,
+            .verify_fn              = my_verify_fn,
+            .get_tag_fn             = my_get_tag_fn,
+            .set_tag_fn             = my_set_tag_fn,
+            .tuple_size             = sizeof(struct my_tuple_size),
+            .tag_size               = <tag bytes per hw sector>,
+        };
+
+      'name' is a text string which will be visible in sysfs.  This is
+      part of the userland API so chose it carefully and never change
+      it.  The format is standards body-type-variant.
+      E.g. T10-DIF-TYPE1-IP or T13-EPP-0-CRC.
+
+      'generate_fn' generates appropriate integrity metadata (for WRITE).
+
+      'verify_fn' verifies that the data buffer matches the integrity
+      metadata.
+
+      'tuple_size' must be set to match the size of the integrity
+      metadata per sector.  I.e. 8 for DIF and EPP.
+
+      'tag_size' must be set to identify how many bytes of tag space
+      are available per hardware sector.  For DIF this is either 2 or
+      0 depending on the value of the Control Mode Page ATO bit.
+
+      See 6.2 for a description of get_tag_fn and set_tag_fn.

+
+  - Create a new filesystem using the ext4dev filesystem type:
+
+        # mke2fs -t ext4dev /dev/hda1
+
+    Or configure an existing ext3 filesystem to support extents and set

+    filesystem to touch this filesystem:
 
-  - mount /dev/hda1 /wherever -t ext4dev
+        # tune2fs -O extents -E test_fs /dev/hda1
 
-  - To enable extents,
+    If the filesystem was created with 128 byte inodes, it can be
+    converted to use 256 byte for greater efficiency via:
 
-        mount /dev/hda1 /wherever -t ext4dev -o extents
+        # tune2fs -I 256 /dev/hda1
 
-  - The filesystem is compatible with the ext3 driver until you add a file
-    which has extents (ie: `mount -o extents', then create a file).

+    filesystem back to ext3; so please do not do try this on production

 2.2 Candidate features for future inclusion
 
-There are several under discussion, whether they all make it in is
-partly a function of how much time everyone has to work on them:
+* Online defrag (patches available but not well tested)
+* reduced mke2fs time via lazy itable initialization in conjuction with
+  the uninit_bg feature (capability to do this is available in e2fsprogs
+  but a kernel thread to do lazy zeroing of unused inode table blocks

+                   Glock internal locking rules
+                  ------------------------------
+
+This documents the basic principles of the glock state machine
+internals. Each glock (struct gfs2_glock in fs/gfs2/incore.h)
+has two main (internal) locks:
+
+ 1. A spinlock (gl_spin) which protects the internal state such
+    as gl_state, gl_target and the list of holders (gl_holders)
+ 2. A non-blocking bit lock, GLF_LOCK, which is used to prevent other
+    threads from making calls to the DLM, etc. at the same time. If a
+    thread takes this lock, it must then call run_queue (usually via the
+    workqueue) when it releases it in order to ensure any pending tasks
+    are completed.
+
+The gl_holders list contains all the queued lock requests (not
+just the holders) associated with the glock. If there are any
+held locks, then they will be contiguous entries at the head
+of the list. Locks are granted in strictly the order that they
+are queued, except for those marked LM_FLAG_PRIORITY which are
+used only during recovery, and even then only for journal locks.
+
+There are three lock states that users of the glock layer can request,
+namely shared (SH), deferred (DF) and exclusive (EX). Those translate
+to the following DLM lock modes:
+
+Glock mode    | DLM lock mode
+------------------------------
+    UN        |    IV/NL  Unlocked (no DLM lock associated with glock) or NL
+    SH        |    PR     (Protected read)
+    DF        |    CW     (Concurrent write)
+    EX        |    EX     (Exclusive)
+
+Thus DF is basically a shared mode which is incompatible with the "normal"
+shared lock mode, SH. In GFS2 the DF mode is used exclusively for direct I/O
+operations. The glocks are basically a lock plus some routines which deal
+with cache management. The following rules apply for the cache:
+
+Glock mode   |  Cache data | Cache Metadata | Dirty Data | Dirty Metadata
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------
+    UN       |     No      |       No       |     No     |      No
+    SH       |     Yes     |       Yes      |     No     |      No
+    DF       |     No      |       Yes      |     No     |      No
+    EX       |     Yes     |       Yes      |     Yes    |      Yes
+
+These rules are implemented using the various glock operations which
+are defined for each type of glock. Not all types of glocks use
+all the modes. Only inode glocks use the DF mode for example.
+
+Table of glock operations and per type constants:
+
+Field            | Purpose
+----------------------------------------------------------------------------
+go_xmote_th      | Called before remote state change (e.g. to sync dirty data)
+go_xmote_bh      | Called after remote state change (e.g. to refill cache)
+go_inval         | Called if remote state change requires invalidating the cache
+go_demote_ok     | Returns boolean value of whether its ok to demote a glock
+                 | (e.g. checks timeout, and that there is no cached data)
+go_lock          | Called for the first local holder of a lock
+go_unlock        | Called on the final local unlock of a lock
+go_dump          | Called to print content of object for debugfs file, or on
+                 | error to dump glock to the log.
+go_type;         | The type of the glock, LM_TYPE_.....
+go_min_hold_time | The minimum hold time
+
+The minimum hold time for each lock is the time after a remote lock
+grant for which we ignore remote demote requests. This is in order to
+prevent a situation where locks are being bounced around the cluster
+from node to node with none of the nodes making any progress. This
+tends to show up most with shared mmaped files which are being written
+to by multiple nodes. By delaying the demotion in response to a
+remote callback, that gives the userspace program time to make
+some progress before the pages are unmapped.
+
+There is a plan to try and remove the go_lock and go_unlock callbacks
+if possible, in order to try and speed up the fast path though the locking.
+Also, eventually we hope to make the glock "EX" mode locally shared
+such that any local locking will be done with the i_mutex as required
+rather than via the glock.
+
+Locking rules for glock operations:
+
+Operation     |  GLF_LOCK bit lock held |  gl_spin spinlock held
+-----------------------------------------------------------------
+go_xmote_th   |       Yes               |       No
+go_xmote_bh   |       Yes               |       No
+go_inval      |       Yes               |       No
+go_demote_ok  |       Sometimes         |       Yes
+go_lock       |       Yes               |       No
+go_unlock     |       Yes               |       No
+go_dump       |       Sometimes         |       Yes
+
+N.B. Operations must not drop either the bit lock or the spinlock
+if its held on entry. go_dump and do_demote_ok must never block.
+Note that go_dump will only be called if the glock's state
+indicates that it is caching uptodate data.
+
+Glock locking order within GFS2:
+
+ 1. i_mutex (if required)
+ 2. Rename glock (for rename only)
+ 3. Inode glock(s)
+    (Parents before children, inodes at "same level" with same parent in
+     lock number order)
+ 4. Rgrp glock(s) (for (de)allocation operations)
+ 5. Transaction glock (via gfs2_trans_begin) for non-read operations
+ 6. Page lock  (always last, very important!)
+
+There are two glocks per inode. One deals with access to the inode
+itself (locking order as above), and the other, known as the iopen
+glock is used in conjunction with the i_nlink field in the inode to
+determine the lifetime of the inode in question. Locking of inodes
+is on a per-inode basis. Locking of rgrps is on a per rgrp basis.

+Introduction
+=============
+
+UBIFS file-system stands for UBI File System. UBI stands for "Unsorted
+Block Images". UBIFS is a flash file system, which means it is designed
+to work with flash devices. It is important to understand, that UBIFS
+is completely different to any traditional file-system in Linux, like
+Ext2, XFS, JFS, etc. UBIFS represents a separate class of file-systems
+which work with MTD devices, not block devices. The other Linux
+file-system of this class is JFFS2.
+
+To make it more clear, here is a small comparison of MTD devices and
+block devices.
+
+1 MTD devices represent flash devices and they consist of eraseblocks of
+  rather large size, typically about 128KiB. Block devices consist of
+  small blocks, typically 512 bytes.
+2 MTD devices support 3 main operations - read from some offset within an
+  eraseblock, write to some offset within an eraseblock, and erase a whole
+  eraseblock. Block  devices support 2 main operations - read a whole
+  block and write a whole block.
+3 The whole eraseblock has to be erased before it becomes possible to
+  re-write its contents. Blocks may be just re-written.
+4 Eraseblocks become worn out after some number of erase cycles -
+  typically 100K-1G for SLC NAND and NOR flashes, and 1K-10K for MLC
+  NAND flashes. Blocks do not have the wear-out property.
+5 Eraseblocks may become bad (only on NAND flashes) and software should
+  deal with this. Blocks on hard drives typically do not become bad,
+  because hardware has mechanisms to substitute bad blocks, at least in
+  modern LBA disks.
+
+It should be quite obvious why UBIFS is very different to traditional
+file-systems.
+
+UBIFS works on top of UBI. UBI is a separate software layer which may be
+found in drivers/mtd/ubi. UBI is basically a volume management and
+wear-leveling layer. It provides so called UBI volumes which is a higher
+level abstraction than a MTD device. The programming model of UBI devices
+is very similar to MTD devices - they still consist of large eraseblocks,
+they have read/write/erase operations, but UBI devices are devoid of
+limitations like wear and bad blocks (items 4 and 5 in the above list).
+
+In a sense, UBIFS is a next generation of JFFS2 file-system, but it is
+very different and incompatible to JFFS2. The following are the main
+differences.
+
+* JFFS2 works on top of MTD devices, UBIFS depends on UBI and works on
+  top of UBI volumes.
+* JFFS2 does not have on-media index and has to build it while mounting,
+  which requires full media scan. UBIFS maintains the FS indexing
+  information on the flash media and does not require full media scan,
+  so it mounts many times faster than JFFS2.
+* JFFS2 is a write-through file-system, while UBIFS supports write-back,
+  which makes UBIFS much faster on writes.
+
+Similarly to JFFS2, UBIFS supports on-the-flight compression which makes
+it possible to fit quite a lot of data to the flash.
+
+Similarly to JFFS2, UBIFS is tolerant of unclean reboots and power-cuts.
+It does not need stuff like ckfs.ext2. UBIFS automatically replays its
+journal and recovers from crashes, ensuring that the on-flash data
+structures are consistent.
+
+UBIFS scales logarithmically (most of the data structures it uses are
+trees), so the mount time and memory consumption do not linearly depend
+on the flash size, like in case of JFFS2. This is because UBIFS
+maintains the FS index on the flash media. However, UBIFS depends on
+UBI, which scales linearly. So overall UBI/UBIFS stack scales linearly.
+Nevertheless, UBI/UBIFS scales considerably better than JFFS2.
+
+The authors of UBIFS believe, that it is possible to develop UBI2 which
+would scale logarithmically as well. UBI2 would support the same API as UBI,
+but it would be binary incompatible to UBI. So UBIFS would not need to be
+changed to use UBI2
+
+
+Mount options
+=============
+
+(*) == default.
+
+norm_unmount (*)        commit on unmount; the journal is committed
+                        when the file-system is unmounted so that the
+                        next mount does not have to replay the journal
+                        and it becomes very fast;
+fast_unmount            do not commit on unmount; this option makes
+                        unmount faster, but the next mount slower
+                        because of the need to replay the journal.
+
+
+Quick usage instructions
+========================
+
+The UBI volume to mount is specified using "ubiX_Y" or "ubiX:NAME" syntax,
+where "X" is UBI device number, "Y" is UBI volume number, and "NAME" is
+UBI volume name.
+
+Mount volume 0 on UBI device 0 to /mnt/ubifs:
+$ mount -t ubifs ubi0_0 /mnt/ubifs
+
+Mount "rootfs" volume of UBI device 0 to /mnt/ubifs ("rootfs" is volume
+name):
+$ mount -t ubifs ubi0:rootfs /mnt/ubifs
+
+The following is an example of the kernel boot arguments to attach mtd0
+to UBI and mount volume "rootfs":
+ubi.mtd=0 root=ubi0:rootfs rootfstype=ubifs
+
+
+Module Parameters for Debugging
+===============================
+
+When UBIFS has been compiled with debugging enabled, there are 3 module
+parameters that are available to control aspects of testing and debugging.
+The parameters are unsigned integers where each bit controls an option.
+The parameters are:
+
+debug_msgs      Selects which debug messages to display, as follows:

+Introduction
+------------
+
+Ftrace is an internal tracer designed to help out developers and
+designers of systems to find what is going on inside the kernel.
+It can be used for debugging or analyzing latencies and performance
+issues that take place outside of user-space.
+
+Although ftrace is the function tracer, it also includes an
+infrastructure that allows for other types of tracing. Some of the
+tracers that are currently in ftrace include a tracer to trace
+context switches, the time it takes for a high priority task to
+run after it was woken up, the time interrupts are disabled, and
+more (ftrace allows for tracer plugins, which means that the list of
+tracers can always grow).
+
+
+The File System
+---------------
+
+Ftrace uses the debugfs file system to hold the control files as well
+as the files to display output.
+
+To mount the debugfs system:
+
+  # mkdir /debug
+  # mount -t debugfs nodev /debug
+
+(Note: it is more common to mount at /sys/kernel/debug, but for simplicity
+ this document will use /debug)
+
+That's it! (assuming that you have ftrace configured into your kernel)
+
+After mounting the debugfs, you can see a directory called
+"tracing".  This directory contains the control and output files
+of ftrace. Here is a list of some of the key files:
+
+
+ Note: all time values are in microseconds.
+
+  current_tracer : This is used to set or display the current tracer
+                that is configured.
+
+  available_tracers : This holds the different types of tracers that
+                have been compiled into the kernel. The tracers
+                listed here can be configured by echoing their name
+                into current_tracer.
+
+  tracing_enabled : This sets or displays whether the current_tracer
+                is activated and tracing or not. Echo 0 into this
+                file to disable the tracer or 1 to enable it.
+
+  trace : This file holds the output of the trace in a human readable
+                format (described below).
+
+  latency_trace : This file shows the same trace but the information
+                is organized more to display possible latencies
+                in the system (described below).
+
+  trace_pipe : The output is the same as the "trace" file but this
+                file is meant to be streamed with live tracing.
+                Reads from this file will block until new data
+                is retrieved. Unlike the "trace" and "latency_trace"
+                files, this file is a consumer. This means reading
+                from this file causes sequential reads to display
+                more current data. Once data is read from this
+                file, it is consumed, and will not be read
+                again with a sequential read. The "trace" and
+                "latency_trace" files are static, and if the
+                tracer is not adding more data, they will display
+                the same information every time they are read.
+
+  iter_ctrl : This file lets the user control the amount of data
+                that is displayed in one of the above output
+                files.
+
+  trace_max_latency : Some of the tracers record the max latency.
+                For example, the time interrupts are disabled.
+                This time is saved in this file. The max trace
+                will also be stored, and displayed by either
+                "trace" or "latency_trace".  A new max trace will
+                only be recorded if the latency is greater than
+                the value in this file. (in microseconds)
+
+  trace_entries : This sets or displays the number of trace
+                entries each CPU buffer can hold. The tracer buffers
+                are the same size for each CPU. The displayed number
+                is the size of the CPU buffer and not total size. The
+                trace buffers are allocated in pages (blocks of memory
+                that the kernel uses for allocation, usually 4 KB in size).
+                Since each entry is smaller than a page, if the last
+                allocated page has room for more entries than were
+                requested, the rest of the page is used to allocate
+                entries.
+
+                This can only be updated when the current_tracer
+                is set to "none".
+
+                NOTE: It is planned on changing the allocated buffers
+                      from being the number of possible CPUS to
+                      the number of online CPUS.
+
+  tracing_cpumask : This is a mask that lets the user only trace
+                on specified CPUS. The format is a hex string
+                representing the CPUS.
+
+  set_ftrace_filter : When dynamic ftrace is configured in (see the
+                section below "dynamic ftrace"), the code is dynamically
+                modified (code text rewrite) to disable calling of the
+                function profiler (mcount). This lets tracing be configured
+                in with practically no overhead in performance.  This also
+                has a side effect of enabling or disabling specific functions
+                to be traced. Echoing names of functions into this file
+                will limit the trace to only those functions.
+
+  set_ftrace_notrace: This has an effect opposite to that of
+                set_ftrace_filter. Any function that is added here will not
+                be traced. If a function exists in both set_ftrace_filter
+                and set_ftrace_notrace, the function will _not_ be traced.
+
+  available_filter_functions : When a function is encountered the first
+                time by the dynamic tracer, it is recorded and
+                later the call is converted into a nop. This file
+                lists the functions that have been recorded
+                by the dynamic tracer and these functions can
+                be used to set the ftrace filter by the above
+                "set_ftrace_filter" file. (See the section "dynamic ftrace"
+                below for more details).
+
+
+The Tracers
+-----------
+
+Here is the list of current tracers that may be configured.
+
+  ftrace - function tracer that uses mcount to trace all functions.
+
+  sched_switch - traces the context switches between tasks.
+
+  irqsoff - traces the areas that disable interrupts and saves
+                the trace with the longest max latency.
+                See tracing_max_latency.  When a new max is recorded,
+                it replaces the old trace. It is best to view this
+                trace via the latency_trace file.
+
+  preemptoff - Similar to irqsoff but traces and records the amount of
+                time for which preemption is disabled.
+
+  preemptirqsoff - Similar to irqsoff and preemptoff, but traces and
+                 records the largest time for which irqs and/or preemption
+                 is disabled.
+
+  wakeup - Traces and records the max latency that it takes for
+                the highest priority task to get scheduled after
+                it has been woken up.
+
+  none - This is not a tracer. To remove all tracers from tracing
+                simply echo "none" into current_tracer.
+
+
+Examples of using the tracer
+----------------------------
+
+Here are typical examples of using the tracers when controlling them only
+with the debugfs interface (without using any user-land utilities).
+
+Output format:
+--------------
+
+Here is an example of the output format of the file "trace"
+
+                             --------
+# tracer: ftrace
+#
+#           TASK-PID   CPU#    TIMESTAMP  FUNCTION
+#              | |      |          |         |
+            bash-4251  [01] 10152.583854: path_put <-path_walk
+            bash-4251  [01] 10152.583855: dput <-path_put
+            bash-4251  [01] 10152.583855: _atomic_dec_and_lock <-dput
+                             --------
+
+A header is printed with the tracer name that is represented by the trace.
+In this case the tracer is "ftrace". Then a header showing the format. Task
+name "bash", the task PID "4251", the CPU that it was running on
+"01", the timestamp in <secs>.<usecs> format, the function name that was
+traced "path_put" and the parent function that called this function
+"path_walk". The timestamp is the time at which the function was
+entered.
+
+The sched_switch tracer also includes tracing of task wakeups and
+context switches.
+
+     ksoftirqd/1-7     [01]  1453.070013:      7:115:R   +  2916:115:S
+     ksoftirqd/1-7     [01]  1453.070013:      7:115:R   +    10:115:S
+     ksoftirqd/1-7     [01]  1453.070013:      7:115:R ==>    10:115:R
+        events/1-10    [01]  1453.070013:     10:115:S ==>  2916:115:R
+     kondemand/1-2916  [01]  1453.070013:   2916:115:S ==>     7:115:R
+     ksoftirqd/1-7     [01]  1453.070013:      7:115:S ==>     0:140:R
+
+Wake ups are represented by a "+" and the context switches are shown as
+"==>".  The format is:
+
+ Context switches:
+
+       Previous task              Next Task
+
+  <pid>:<prio>:<state>  ==>  <pid>:<prio>:<state>
+
+ Wake ups:
+
+       Current task               Task waking up
+
+  <pid>:<prio>:<state>    +  <pid>:<prio>:<state>
+
+The prio is the internal kernel priority, which is the inverse of the
+priority that is usually displayed by user-space tools. Zero represents
+the highest priority (99). Prio 100 starts the "nice" priorities with
+100 being equal to nice -20 and 139 being nice 19. The prio "140" is
+reserved for the idle task which is the lowest priority thread (pid 0).
+
+
+Latency trace format
+--------------------
+
+For traces that display latency times, the latency_trace file gives
+somewhat more information to see why a latency happened. Here is a typical
+trace.
+
+# tracer: irqsoff
+#
+irqsoff latency trace v1.1.5 on 2.6.26-rc8
+--------------------------------------------------------------------
+ latency: 97 us, #3/3, CPU#0 | (M:preempt VP:0, KP:0, SP:0 HP:0 #P:2)
+    -----------------
+    | task: swapper-0 (uid:0 nice:0 policy:0 rt_prio:0)
+    -----------------
+ => started at: apic_timer_interrupt
+ => ended at:   do_softirq
+
+#                _------=> CPU#

+This shows that the current tracer is "irqsoff" tracing the time for which
+interrupts were disabled. It gives the trace version and the version
+of the kernel upon which this was executed on (2.6.26-rc8). Then it displays
+the max latency in microsecs (97 us). The number of trace entries displayed
+and the total number recorded (both are three: #3/3). The type of
+preemption that was used (PREEMPT). VP, KP, SP, and HP are always zero
+and are reserved for later use. #P is the number of online CPUS (#P:2).
+
+The task is the process that was running when the latency occurred.
+(swapper pid: 0).
+
+The start and stop (the functions in which the interrupts were disabled and
+enabled respectively) that caused the latencies:
+
+  apic_timer_interrupt is where the interrupts were disabled.
+  do_softirq is where they were enabled again.
+
+The next lines after the header are the trace itself. The header
+explains which is which.
+
+  cmd: The name of the process in the trace.
+
+  pid: The PID of that process.
+
+  CPU#: The CPU which the process was running on.
+
+  irqs-off: 'd' interrupts are disabled. '.' otherwise.
+
+  need-resched: 'N' task need_resched is set, '.' otherwise.
+
+  hardirq/softirq:
+        'H' - hard irq occurred inside a softirq.
+        'h' - hard irq is running
+        's' - soft irq is running
+        '.' - normal context.
+
+  preempt-depth: The level of preempt_disabled
+
+The above is mostly meaningful for kernel developers.
+
+  time: This differs from the trace file output. The trace file output
+        includes an absolute timestamp. The timestamp used by the
+        latency_trace file is relative to the start of the trace.
+
+  delay: This is just to help catch your eye a bit better. And
+        needs to be fixed to be only relative to the same CPU.
+        The marks are determined by the difference between this
+        current trace and the next trace.
+         '!' - greater than preempt_mark_thresh (default 100)

+         ' ' - less than or equal to 1 microsecond.
+
+  The rest is the same as the 'trace' file.
+
+
+iter_ctrl
+---------
+
+The iter_ctrl file is used to control what gets printed in the trace
+output. To see what is available, simply cat the file:
+
+  cat /debug/tracing/iter_ctrl
+  print-parent nosym-offset nosym-addr noverbose noraw nohex nobin \
+ noblock nostacktrace nosched-tree
+
+To disable one of the options, echo in the option prepended with "no".
+
+  echo noprint-parent > /debug/tracing/iter_ctrl
+
+To enable an option, leave off the "no".
+
+  echo sym-offset > /debug/tracing/iter_ctrl
+
+Here are the available options:
+
+  print-parent - On function traces, display the calling function
+                as well as the function being traced.
+
+  print-parent:
+   bash-4000  [01]  1477.606694: simple_strtoul <-strict_strtoul
+
+  noprint-parent:
+   bash-4000  [01]  1477.606694: simple_strtoul
+
+
+  sym-offset - Display not only the function name, but also the offset
+                in the function. For example, instead of seeing just
+                "ktime_get", you will see "ktime_get+0xb/0x20".
+
+  sym-offset:
+   bash-4000  [01]  1477.606694: simple_strtoul+0x6/0xa0
+
+  sym-addr - this will also display the function address as well as
+                the function name.
+
+  sym-addr:
+   bash-4000  [01]  1477.606694: simple_strtoul <c0339346>
+
+  verbose - This deals with the latency_trace file.
+
+    bash  4000 1 0 00000000 00010a95 [58127d26] 1720.415ms \
+    (+0.000ms): simple_strtoul (strict_strtoul)
+
+  raw - This will display raw numbers. This option is best for use with
+        user applications that can translate the raw numbers better than
+        having it done in the kernel.
+
+  hex - Similar to raw, but the numbers will be in a hexadecimal format.
+
+  bin - This will print out the formats in raw binary.
+
+  block - TBD (needs update)
+
+  stacktrace - This is one of the options that changes the trace itself.
+                When a trace is recorded, so is the stack of functions.
+                This allows for back traces of trace sites.
+
+  sched-tree - TBD (any users??)
+
+
+sched_switch
+------------
+
+This tracer simply records schedule switches. Here is an example
+of how to use it.
+
+ # echo sched_switch > /debug/tracing/current_tracer
+ # echo 1 > /debug/tracing/tracing_enabled
+ # sleep 1
+ # echo 0 > /debug/tracing/tracing_enabled

+ [...]
+
+
+As we have discussed previously about this format, the header shows
+the name of the trace and points to the options. The "FUNCTION"
+is a misnomer since here it represents the wake ups and context
+switches.
+
+The sched_switch file only lists the wake ups (represented with '+')
+and context switches ('==>') with the previous task or current task
+first followed by the next task or task waking up. The format for both
+of these is PID:KERNEL-PRIO:TASK-STATE. Remember that the KERNEL-PRIO
+is the inverse of the actual priority with zero (0) being the highest
+priority and the nice values starting at 100 (nice -20). Below is
+a quick chart to map the kernel priority to user land priorities.
+
+  Kernel priority: 0 to 99    ==> user RT priority 99 to 0
+  Kernel priority: 100 to 139 ==> user nice -20 to 19
+  Kernel priority: 140        ==> idle task priority
+
+The task states are:
+
+ R - running : wants to run, may not actually be running
+ S - sleep   : process is waiting to be woken up (handles signals)
+ D - disk sleep (uninterruptible sleep) : process must be woken up
+                                        (ignores signals)
+ T - stopped : process suspended
+ t - traced  : process is being traced (with something like gdb)
+ Z - zombie  : process waiting to be cleaned up
+ X - unknown
+
+
+ftrace_enabled
+--------------
+
+The following tracers (listed below) give different output depending
+on whether or not the sysctl ftrace_enabled is set. To set ftrace_enabled,
+one can either use the sysctl function or set it via the proc
+file system interface.
+
+  sysctl kernel.ftrace_enabled=1
+
+ or
+
+  echo 1 > /proc/sys/kernel/ftrace_enabled
+
+To disable ftrace_enabled simply replace the '1' with '0' in
+the above commands.
+
+When ftrace_enabled is set the tracers will also record the functions
+that are within the trace. The descriptions of the tracers
+will also show an example with ftrace enabled.
+
+
+irqsoff
+-------
+
+When interrupts are disabled, the CPU can not react to any other
+external event (besides NMIs and SMIs). This prevents the timer
+interrupt from triggering or the mouse interrupt from letting the
+kernel know of a new mouse event. The result is a latency with the
+reaction time.
+
+The irqsoff tracer tracks the time for which interrupts are disabled.
+When a new maximum latency is hit, the tracer saves the trace leading up
+to that latency point so that every time a new maximum is reached, the old
+saved trace is discarded and the new trace is saved.
+
+To reset the maximum, echo 0 into tracing_max_latency. Here is an
+example:
+
+ # echo irqsoff > /debug/tracing/current_tracer
+ # echo 0 > /debug/tracing/tracing_max_latency
+ # echo 1 > /debug/tracing/tracing_enabled
+ # ls -ltr
+ [...]
+ # echo 0 > /debug/tracing/tracing_enabled
+ # cat /debug/tracing/latency_trace
+# tracer: irqsoff

+
+
+Here we see that that we had a latency of 12 microsecs (which is
+very good). The _write_lock_irq in sys_setpgid disabled interrupts.
+The difference between the 12 and the displayed timestamp 14us occurred
+because the clock was incremented between the time of recording the max
+latency and the time of recording the function that had that latency.
+
+Note the above example had ftrace_enabled not set. If we set the
+ftrace_enabled, we get a much larger output:

+
+Here we traced a 50 microsecond latency. But we also see all the
+functions that were called during that time. Note that by enabling
+function tracing, we incur an added overhead. This overhead may
+extend the latency times. But nevertheless, this trace has provided
+some very helpful debugging information.
+
+
+preemptoff
+----------
+
+When preemption is disabled, we may be able to receive interrupts but
+the task cannot be preempted and a higher priority task must wait
+for preemption to be enabled again before it can preempt a lower
+priority task.
+
+The preemptoff tracer traces the places that disable preemption.
+Like the irqsoff tracer, it records the maximum latency for which preemption
+was disabled. The control of preemptoff tracer is much like the irqsoff
+tracer.

+
+
+The above is an example of the preemptoff trace with ftrace_enabled
+set. Here we see that interrupts were disabled the entire time.
+The irq_enter code lets us know that we entered an interrupt 'h'.
+Before that, the functions being traced still show that it is not
+in an interrupt, but we can see from the functions themselves that
+this is not the case.
+
+Notice that __do_softirq when called does not have a preempt_count.
+It may seem that we missed a preempt enabling. What really happened
+is that the preempt count is held on the thread's stack and we
+switched to the softirq stack (4K stacks in effect). The code
+does not copy the preempt count, but because interrupts are disabled,
+we do not need to worry about it. Having a tracer like this is good
+for letting people know what really happens inside the kernel.
+
+
+preemptirqsoff
+--------------
+
+Knowing the locations that have interrupts disabled or preemption
+disabled for the longest times is helpful. But sometimes we would
+like to know when either preemption and/or interrupts are disabled.
+
+Consider the following code:
+
+    local_irq_disable();
+    call_function_with_irqs_off();
+    preempt_disable();
+    call_function_with_irqs_and_preemption_off();
+    local_irq_enable();
+    call_function_with_preemption_off();
+    preempt_enable();
+
+The irqsoff tracer will record the total length of
+call_function_with_irqs_off() and
+call_function_with_irqs_and_preemption_off().
+
+The preemptoff tracer will record the total length of
+call_function_with_irqs_and_preemption_off() and
+call_function_with_preemption_off().
+
+But neither will trace the time that interrupts and/or preemption
+is disabled. This total time is the time that we can not schedule.
+To record this time, use the preemptirqsoff tracer.
+
+Again, using this trace is much like the irqsoff and preemptoff tracers.

+
+
+This is a very interesting trace. It started with the preemption of
+the ls task. We see that the task had the "need_resched" bit set
+via the 'N' in the trace.  Interrupts were disabled before the spin_lock
+at the beginning of the trace. We see that a schedule took place to run
+sshd.  When the interrupts were enabled, we took an interrupt.
+On return from the interrupt handler, the softirq ran. We took another
+interrupt while running the softirq as we see from the capital 'H'.
+
+
+wakeup
+------
+
+In a Real-Time environment it is very important to know the wakeup
+time it takes for the highest priority task that is woken up to the
+time that it executes. This is also known as "schedule latency".
+I stress the point that this is about RT tasks. It is also important
+to know the scheduling latency of non-RT tasks, but the average
+schedule latency is better for non-RT tasks. Tools like
+LatencyTop are more appropriate for such measurements.
+
+Real-Time environments are interested in the worst case latency.
+That is the longest latency it takes for something to happen, and
+not the average. We can have a very fast scheduler that may only
+have a large latency once in a while, but that would not work well
+with Real-Time tasks.  The wakeup tracer was designed to record
+the worst case wakeups of RT tasks. Non-RT tasks are not recorded
+because the tracer only records one worst case and tracing non-RT
+tasks that are unpredictable will overwrite the worst case latency
+of RT tasks.
+
+Since this tracer only deals with RT tasks, we will run this slightly
+differently than we did with the previous tracers. Instead of performing
+an 'ls', we will run 'sleep 1' under 'chrt' which changes the
+priority of the task.

+
+
+
+Running this on an idle system, we see that it only took 4 microseconds
+to perform the task switch.  Note, since the trace marker in the
+schedule is before the actual "switch", we stop the tracing when
+the recorded task is about to schedule in. This may change if
+we add a new marker at the end of the scheduler.
+
+Notice that the recorded task is 'sleep' with the PID of 4901 and it
+has an rt_prio of 5. This priority is user-space priority and not
+the internal kernel priority. The policy is 1 for SCHED_FIFO and 2
+for SCHED_RR.
+
+Doing the same with chrt -r 5 and ftrace_enabled set.

+
+The interrupt went off while running ksoftirqd. This task runs at
+SCHED_OTHER. Why did not we see the 'N' set early? This may be
+a harmless bug with x86_32 and 4K stacks. On x86_32 with 4K stacks
+configured, the interrupt and softirq run with their own stack.
+Some information is held on the top of the task's stack (need_resched
+and preempt_count are both stored there). The setting of the NEED_RESCHED
+bit is done directly to the task's stack, but the reading of the
+NEED_RESCHED is done by looking at the current stack, which in this case
+is the stack for the hard interrupt. This hides the fact that NEED_RESCHED
+has been set. We do not see the 'N' until we switch back to the task's
+assigned stack.

+may overwrite the oldest data. Sometimes using echo to stop the trace
+is not sufficient because the tracing could have overwritten the data
+that you wanted to record. For this reason, it is sometimes better to
+disable tracing directly from a program. This allows you to stop the
+tracing at the point that you hit the part that you are interested in.
+To disable the tracing directly from a C program, something like following
+code snippet can be used:
+
+int trace_fd;
+[...]
+int main(int argc, char *argv[]) {
+        [...]
+        trace_fd = open("/debug/tracing/tracing_enabled", O_WRONLY);
+        [...]
+        if (condition_hit()) {
+                write(trace_fd, "0", 1);
+        }
+        [...]
+}
+
+Note: Here we hard coded the path name. The debugfs mount is not
+guaranteed to be at /debug (and is more commonly at /sys/kernel/debug).
+For simple one time traces, the above is sufficent. For anything else,
+a search through /proc/mounts may be needed to find where the debugfs
+file-system is mounted.
+
+dynamic ftrace
+--------------
+
+If CONFIG_DYNAMIC_FTRACE is set, the system will run with
+virtually no overhead when function tracing is disabled. The way
+this works is the mcount function call (placed at the start of
+every kernel function, produced by the -pg switch in gcc), starts
+of pointing to a simple return. (Enabling FTRACE will include the
+-pg switch in the compiling of the kernel.)
+
+When dynamic ftrace is initialized, it calls kstop_machine to make
+the machine act like a uniprocessor so that it can freely modify code
+without worrying about other processors executing that same code.  At
+initialization, the mcount calls are changed to call a "record_ip"
+function.  After this, the first time a kernel function is called,
+it has the calling address saved in a hash table.
+
+Later on the ftraced kernel thread is awoken and will again call
+kstop_machine if new functions have been recorded. The ftraced thread
+will change all calls to mcount to "nop".  Just calling mcount
+and having mcount return has shown a 10% overhead. By converting
+it to a nop, there is no measurable overhead to the system.
+
+One special side-effect to the recording of the functions being
+traced is that we can now selectively choose which functions we
+wish to trace and which ones we want the mcount calls to remain as
+nops.
+
+Two files are used, one for enabling and one for disabling the tracing
+of specified functions. They are:
+
+  set_ftrace_filter
+
+and
+
+  set_ftrace_notrace
+
+A list of available functions that you can add to these files is listed
+in:
+
+   available_filter_functions
+
+ # cat /debug/tracing/available_filter_functions
+put_prev_task_idle
+kmem_cache_create
+pick_next_task_rt
+get_online_cpus
+pick_next_task_fair
+mutex_lock
+[...]

+                > /debug/tracing/set_ftrace_filter

+
+To see which functions are being traced, you can cat the file:
+
+ # cat /debug/tracing/set_ftrace_filter
+hrtimer_interrupt
+sys_nanosleep
+
+
+Perhaps this is not enough. The filters also allow simple wild cards.

+  <match>*  - will match functions that begin with <match>
+  *<match>  - will match functions that end with <match>

+
+We can see that there's no more lock or preempt tracing.
+
+ftraced
+-------
+
+As mentioned above, when dynamic ftrace is configured in, a kernel
+thread wakes up once a second and checks to see if there are mcount
+calls that need to be converted into nops. If there are not any, then
+it simply goes back to sleep. But if there are some, it will call
+kstop_machine to convert the calls to nops.
+
+There may be a case in which you do not want this added latency.
+Perhaps you are doing some audio recording and this activity might
+cause skips in the playback. There is an interface to disable
+and enable the "ftraced" kernel thread.
+
+ # echo 0 > /debug/tracing/ftraced_enabled
+
+This will disable the calling of kstop_machine to update the
+mcount calls to nops. Remember that there is a large overhead
+to calling mcount. Without this kernel thread, that overhead will
+exist.
+
+If there are recorded calls to mcount, any write to the ftraced_enabled
+file will cause the kstop_machine to run. This means that a
+user can manually perform the updates when they want to by simply
+echoing a '0' into the ftraced_enabled file.
+
+The updates are also done at the beginning of enabling a tracer
+that uses ftrace function recording.
+
+
+trace_pipe
+----------
+
+The trace_pipe outputs the same content as the trace file, but the effect
+on the tracing is different. Every read from trace_pipe is consumed.
+This means that subsequent reads will be different. The trace
+is live.
+
+ # echo ftrace > /debug/tracing/current_tracer
+ # cat /debug/tracing/trace_pipe > /tmp/trace.out &
+[1] 4153

+            bash-4043  [00] 41.267111: select_task_rq_rt <-try_to_wake_up
+
+
+Note, reading the trace_pipe file will block until more input is added.
+By changing the tracer, trace_pipe will issue an EOF. We needed
+to set the ftrace tracer _before_ cating the trace_pipe file.
+
+
+trace entries
+-------------
+
+Having too much or not enough data can be troublesome in diagnosing
+an issue in the kernel. The file trace_entries is used to modify
+the size of the internal trace buffers. The number listed
+is the number of entries that can be recorded per CPU. To know
+the full size, multiply the number of possible CPUS with the
+number of entries.
+
+ # cat /debug/tracing/trace_entries
+65620
+
+Note, to modify this, you must have tracing completely disabled. To do that,
+echo "none" into the current_tracer. If the current_tracer is not set
+to "none", an EINVAL error will be returned.
+
+ # echo none > /debug/tracing/current_tracer
+ # echo 100000 > /debug/tracing/trace_entries
+ # cat /debug/tracing/trace_entries
+100045
+
+
+Notice that we echoed in 100,000 but the size is 100,045. The entries
+are held in individual pages. It allocates the number of pages it takes
+to fulfill the request. If more entries may fit on the last page
+then they will be added.
+
+ # echo 1 > /debug/tracing/trace_entries
+ # cat /debug/tracing/trace_entries
+85
+
+This shows us that 85 entries can fit in a single page.
+
+The number of pages which will be allocated is limited to a percentage
+of available memory. Allocating too much will produce an error.
+
+ # echo 1000000000000 > /debug/tracing/trace_entries
+-bash: echo: write error: Cannot allocate memory

-Description 
------------ 
-
-WARNING: If you have an '810' or '815' motherboard, your standard I2C
-temperature sensors are most likely on the 801's I2C bus. You want the
-i2c-i801 driver for those, not this driver.
-
-Now for the i2c-i810...
-
-The GMCH chip contains two I2C interfaces.
-
-The first interface is used for DDC (Data Display Channel) which is a
-serial channel through the VGA monitor connector to a DDC-compliant
-monitor. This interface is defined by the Video Electronics Standards
-Association (VESA). The standards are available for purchase at
-http://www.vesa.org .
-
-The second interface is a general-purpose I2C bus. It may be connected to a
-TV-out chip such as the BT869 or possibly to a digital flat-panel display.
-
-Features
--------- 
-
-Both busses use the i2c-algo-bit driver for 'bit banging'
-and support for specific transactions is provided by i2c-algo-bit.
-
-Issues
-------
-
-If you enable bus testing in i2c-algo-bit (insmod i2c-algo-bit bit_test=1),
-the test may fail; if so, the i2c-i810 driver won't be inserted. However,
-we think this has been fixed.

+recovery, triggered by a fault report, there is no error.
+
+In a similar way, sometimes a "fault" code just reports one defined
+result for an operation ... it doesn't indicate that anything is wrong
+at all, just that the outcome wasn't on the "golden path".
+
+In short, your I2C driver code may need to know these codes in order
+to respond correctly.  Other code may need to rely on YOUR code reporting
+the right fault code, so that it can (in turn) behave correctly.
+
+
+I2C and SMBus fault codes
+-------------------------
+These are returned as negative numbers from most calls, with zero or
+some positive number indicating a non-fault return.  The specific
+numbers associated with these symbols differ between architectures,
+though most Linux systems use <asm-generic/errno*.h> numbering.
+
+Note that the descriptions here are not exhaustive.  There are other
+codes that may be returned, and other cases where these codes should
+be returned.  However, drivers should not return other codes for these
+cases (unless the hardware doesn't provide unique fault reports).
+
+Also, codes returned by adapter probe methods follow rules which are
+specific to their host bus (such as PCI, or the platform bus).
+
+
+EAGAIN
+        Returned by I2C adapters when they lose arbitration in master
+        transmit mode:  some other master was transmitting different
+        data at the same time.
+
+        Also returned when trying to invoke an I2C operation in an
+        atomic context, when some task is already using that I2C bus
+        to execute some other operation.
+
+EBADMSG
+        Returned by SMBus logic when an invalid Packet Error Code byte
+        is received.  This code is a CRC covering all bytes in the
+        transaction, and is sent before the terminating STOP.  This
+        fault is only reported on read transactions; the SMBus slave
+        may have a way to report PEC mismatches on writes from the
+        host.  Note that even if PECs are in use, you should not rely
+        on these as the only way to detect incorrect data transfers.
+
+EBUSY
+        Returned by SMBus adapters when the bus was busy for longer
+        than allowed.  This usually indicates some device (maybe the
+        SMBus adapter) needs some fault recovery (such as resetting),
+        or that the reset was attempted but failed.
+
+EINVAL
+        This rather vague error means an invalid parameter has been
+        detected before any I/O operation was started.  Use a more
+        specific fault code when you can.
+
+        One example would be a driver trying an SMBus Block Write
+        with block size outside the range of 1-32 bytes.
+
+EIO
+        This rather vague error means something went wrong when
+        performing an I/O operation.  Use a more specific fault
+        code when you can.
+
+ENODEV
+        Returned by driver probe() methods.  This is a bit more
+        specific than ENXIO, implying the problem isn't with the
+        address, but with the device found there.  Driver probes
+        may verify the device returns *correct* responses, and
+        return this as appropriate.  (The driver core will warn
+        about probe faults other than ENXIO and ENODEV.)
+
+ENOMEM
+        Returned by any component that can't allocate memory when
+        it needs to do so.
+
+ENXIO
+        Returned by I2C adapters to indicate that the address phase
+        of a transfer didn't get an ACK.  While it might just mean
+        an I2C device was temporarily not responding, usually it
+        means there's nothing listening at that address.
+
+        Returned by driver probe() methods to indicate that they
+        found no device to bind to.  (ENODEV may also be used.)
+
+EOPNOTSUPP
+        Returned by an adapter when asked to perform an operation
+        that it doesn't, or can't, support.
+
+        For example, this would be returned when an adapter that
+        doesn't support SMBus block transfers is asked to execute
+        one.  In that case, the driver making that request should
+        have verified that functionality was supported before it
+        made that block transfer request.
+
+        Similarly, if an I2C adapter can't execute all legal I2C
+        messages, it should return this when asked to perform a
+        transaction it can't.  (These limitations can't be seen in
+        the adapter's functionality mask, since the assumption is
+        that if an adapter supports I2C it supports all of I2C.)
+
+EPROTO
+        Returned when slave does not conform to the relevant I2C
+        or SMBus (or chip-specific) protocol specifications.  One
+        case is when the length of an SMBus block data response
+        (from the SMBus slave) is outside the range 1-32 bytes.
+
+ETIMEDOUT
+        This is returned by drivers when an operation took too much
+        time, and was aborted before it completed.
+
+        SMBus adapters may return it when an operation took more
+        time than allowed by the SMBus specification; for example,
+        when a slave stretches clocks too far.  I2C has no such
+        timeouts, but it's normal for I2C adapters to impose some
+        arbitrary limits (much longer than SMBus!) too.

+Device Detection (Standard driver model)
+----------------------------------------
+
+Sometimes you do not know in advance which I2C devices are connected to
+a given I2C bus.  This is for example the case of hardware monitoring
+devices on a PC's SMBus.  In that case, you may want to let your driver
+detect supported devices automatically.  This is how the legacy model
+was working, and is now available as an extension to the standard
+driver model (so that we can finally get rid of the legacy model.)
+
+You simply have to define a detect callback which will attempt to
+identify supported devices (returning 0 for supported ones and -ENODEV
+for unsupported ones), a list of addresses to probe, and a device type
+(or class) so that only I2C buses which may have that type of device
+connected (and not otherwise enumerated) will be probed.  The i2c
+core will then call you back as needed and will instantiate a device
+for you for every successful detection.
+
+Note that this mechanism is purely optional and not suitable for all
+devices.  You need some reliable way to identify the supported devices
+(typically using device-specific, dedicated identification registers),
+otherwise misdetections are likely to occur and things can get wrong
+quickly.

-   viii) Multi-User RAM (MURAM)
-
-   The multi-user/dual-ported RAM is expressed as a bus under the CPM node.
-
-   Ranges must be set up subject to the following restrictions:
-
-   - Children's reg nodes must be offsets from the start of all muram, even
-     if the user-data area does not begin at zero.
-   - If multiple range entries are used, the difference between the parent
-     address and the child address must be the same in all, so that a single
-     mapping can cover them all while maintaining the ability to determine
-     CPM-side offsets with pointer subtraction.  It is recommended that
-     multiple range entries not be used.
-   - A child address of zero must be translatable, even if no reg resources
-     contain it.
-
-   A child "data" node must exist, compatible with "fsl,cpm-muram-data", to
-   indicate the portion of muram that is usable by the OS for arbitrary
-   purposes.  The data node may have an arbitrary number of reg resources,
-   all of which contribute to the allocatable muram pool.
-
-   Example, based on mpc8272:
-
-        muram@0 {
-                #address-cells = <1>;
-                #size-cells = <1>;
-                ranges = <0 0 10000>;
-
-                data@0 {
-                        compatible = "fsl,cpm-muram-data";
-                        reg = <0 2000 9800 800>;
-                };
-        };
-
-   m) Chipselect/Local Bus
-
-   Properties:
-   - name : Should be localbus
-   - #address-cells : Should be either two or three.  The first cell is the
-                      chipselect number, and the remaining cells are the
-                      offset into the chipselect.
-   - #size-cells : Either one or two, depending on how large each chipselect
-                   can be.
-   - ranges : Each range corresponds to a single chipselect, and cover
-              the entire access window as configured.
-
-   Example:
-        localbus@f0010100 {
-                compatible = "fsl,mpc8272-localbus",

+The PowerPC boot wrapper
+------------------------
+Copyright (C) Secret Lab Technologies Ltd.
+
+PowerPC image targets compresses and wraps the kernel image (vmlinux) with
+a boot wrapper to make it usable by the system firmware.  There is no
+standard PowerPC firmware interface, so the boot wrapper is designed to
+be adaptable for each kind of image that needs to be built.
+
+The boot wrapper can be found in the arch/powerpc/boot/ directory.  The
+Makefile in that directory has targets for all the available image types.
+The different image types are used to support all of the various firmware
+interfaces found on PowerPC platforms.  OpenFirmware is the most commonly
+used firmware type on general purpose PowerPC systems from Apple, IBM and
+others.  U-Boot is typically found on embedded PowerPC hardware, but there
+are a handful of other firmware implementations which are also popular.  Each
+firmware interface requires a different image format.
+
+The boot wrapper is built from the makefile in arch/powerpc/boot/Makefile and
+it uses the wrapper script (arch/powerpc/boot/wrapper) to generate target
+image.  The details of the build system is discussed in the next section.
+Currently, the following image format targets exist:
+
+   cuImage.%:           Backwards compatible uImage for older version of
+                        U-Boot (for versions that don't understand the device
+                        tree).  This image embeds a device tree blob inside
+                        the image.  The boot wrapper, kernel and device tree
+                        are all embedded inside the U-Boot uImage file format
+                        with boot wrapper code that extracts data from the old
+                        bd_info structure and loads the data into the device
+                        tree before jumping into the kernel.
+                          Because of the series of #ifdefs found in the
+                        bd_info structure used in the old U-Boot interfaces,
+                        cuImages are platform specific.  Each specific
+                        U-Boot platform has a different platform init file
+                        which populates the embedded device tree with data
+                        from the platform specific bd_info file.  The platform
+                        specific cuImage platform init code can be found in
+                        arch/powerpc/boot/cuboot.*.c.  Selection of the correct
+                        cuImage init code for a specific board can be found in
+                        the wrapper structure.
+   dtbImage.%:          Similar to zImage, except device tree blob is embedded
+                        inside the image instead of provided by firmware.  The
+                        output image file can be either an elf file or a flat
+                        binary depending on the platform.
+                          dtbImages are used on systems which do not have an
+                        interface for passing a device tree directly.
+                        dtbImages are similar to simpleImages except that
+                        dtbImages have platform specific code for extracting
+                        data from the board firmware, but simpleImages do not
+                        talk to the firmware at all.
+                          PlayStation 3 support uses dtbImage.  So do Embedded
+                        Planet boards using the PlanetCore firmware.  Board
+                        specific initialization code is typically found in a
+                        file named arch/powerpc/boot/<platform>.c; but this
+                        can be overridden by the wrapper script.
+   simpleImage.%:       Firmware independent compressed image that does not
+                        depend on any particular firmware interface and embeds
+                        a device tree blob.  This image is a flat binary that
+                        can be loaded to any location in RAM and jumped to.
+                        Firmware cannot pass any configuration data to the
+                        kernel with this image type and it depends entirely on
+                        the embedded device tree for all information.
+                          The simpleImage is useful for booting systems with
+                        an unknown firmware interface or for booting from
+                        a debugger when no firmware is present (such as on
+                        the Xilinx Virtex platform).  The only assumption that
+                        simpleImage makes is that RAM is correctly initialized
+                        and that the MMU is either off or has RAM mapped to
+                        base address 0.
+                          simpleImage also supports inserting special platform
+                        specific initialization code to the start of the bootup
+                        sequence.  The virtex405 platform uses this feature to
+                        ensure that the cache is invalidated before caching
+                        is enabled.  Platform specific initialization code is
+                        added as part of the wrapper script and is keyed on
+                        the image target name.  For example, all
+                        simpleImage.virtex405-* targets will add the
+                        virtex405-head.S initialization code (This also means
+                        that the dts file for virtex405 targets should be
+                        named (virtex405-<board>.dts).  Search the wrapper
+                        script for 'virtex405' and see the file
+                        arch/powerpc/boot/virtex405-head.S for details.
+   treeImage.%;         Image format for used with OpenBIOS firmware found
+                        on some ppc4xx hardware.  This image embeds a device
+                        tree blob inside the image.
+   uImage:              Native image format used by U-Boot.  The uImage target
+                        does not add any boot code.  It just wraps a compressed
+                        vmlinux in the uImage data structure.  This image
+                        requires a version of U-Boot that is able to pass
+                        a device tree to the kernel at boot.  If using an older
+                        version of U-Boot, then you need to use a cuImage
+                        instead.
+   zImage.%:            Image format which does not embed a device tree.
+                        Used by OpenFirmware and other firmware interfaces
+                        which are able to supply a device tree.  This image
+                        expects firmware to provide the device tree at boot.
+                        Typically, if you have general purpose PowerPC
+                        hardware then you want this image format.
+
+Image types which embed a device tree blob (simpleImage, dtbImage, treeImage,
+and cuImage) all generate the device tree blob from a file in the
+arch/powerpc/boot/dts/ directory.  The Makefile selects the correct device
+tree source based on the name of the target.  Therefore, if the kernel is
+built with 'make treeImage.walnut simpleImage.virtex405-ml403', then the
+build system will use arch/powerpc/boot/dts/walnut.dts to build
+treeImage.walnut and arch/powerpc/boot/dts/virtex405-ml403.dts to build
+the simpleImage.virtex405-ml403.
+
+Two special targets called 'zImage' and 'zImage.initrd' also exist.  These
+targets build all the default images as selected by the kernel configuration.
+Default images are selected by the boot wrapper Makefile
+(arch/powerpc/boot/Makefile) by adding targets to the $image-y variable.  Look
+at the Makefile to see which default image targets are available.
+
+How it is built
+---------------
+arch/powerpc is designed to support multiplatform kernels, which means
+that a single vmlinux image can be booted on many different target boards.
+It also means that the boot wrapper must be able to wrap for many kinds of
+images on a single build.  The design decision was made to not use any
+conditional compilation code (#ifdef, etc) in the boot wrapper source code.
+All of the boot wrapper pieces are buildable at any time regardless of the
+kernel configuration.  Building all the wrapper bits on every kernel build
+also ensures that obscure parts of the wrapper are at the very least compile
+tested in a large variety of environments.
+
+The wrapper is adapted for different image types at link time by linking in
+just the wrapper bits that are appropriate for the image type.  The 'wrapper
+script' (found in arch/powerpc/boot/wrapper) is called by the Makefile and
+is responsible for selecting the correct wrapper bits for the image type.
+The arguments are well documented in the script's comment block, so they
+are not repeated here.  However, it is worth mentioning that the script
+uses the -p (platform) argument as the main method of deciding which wrapper
+bits to compile in.  Look for the large 'case "$platform" in' block in the
+middle of the script.  This is also the place where platform specific fixups
+can be selected by changing the link order.
+
+In particular, care should be taken when working with cuImages.  cuImage
+wrapper bits are very board specific and care should be taken to make sure
+the target you are trying to build is supported by the wrapper bits.

+- If multiple range entries are used, the difference between the parent

+- A child address of zero must be translatable, even if no reg resources
+  contain it.
+
+A child "data" node must exist, compatible with "fsl,cpm-muram-data", to
+indicate the portion of muram that is usable by the OS for arbitrary
+purposes.  The data node may have an arbitrary number of reg resources,
+all of which contribute to the allocatable muram pool.

+* Freescale QUICC Engine module (QE)
+This represents qe module that is installed on PowerQUICC II Pro.
+
+NOTE:  This is an interim binding; it should be updated to fit
+in with the CPM binding later in this document.
+
+Basically, it is a bus of devices, that could act more or less
+as a complete entity (UCC, USB etc ). All of them should be siblings on
+the "root" qe node, using the common properties from there.
+The description below applies to the qe of MPC8360 and
+more nodes and properties would be extended in the future.
+
+i) Root QE device
+
+Required properties:
+- compatible : should be "fsl,qe";
+- model : precise model of the QE, Can be "QE", "CPM", or "CPM2"
+- reg : offset and length of the device registers.
+- bus-frequency : the clock frequency for QUICC Engine.
+
+Recommended properties
+- brg-frequency : the internal clock source frequency for baud-rate
+  generators in Hz.
+
+Example:
+     qe@e0100000 {
+        #address-cells = <1>;
+        #size-cells = <1>;
+        #interrupt-cells = <2>;

+        bus-frequency = <179A7B00>;
+     }
+
+* Multi-User RAM (MURAM)
+
+Required properties:
+- compatible : should be "fsl,qe-muram", "fsl,cpm-muram".
+- mode : the could be "host" or "slave".
+- ranges : Should be defined as specified in 1) to describe the
+   translation of MURAM addresses.
+- data-only : sub-node which defines the address area under MURAM
+   bus that can be allocated as data/parameter
+
+Example:
+
+     muram@10000 {
+        compatible = "fsl,qe-muram", "fsl,cpm-muram";

+* Uploaded QE firmware
+
+      If a new firwmare has been uploaded to the QE (usually by the
+      boot loader), then a 'firmware' child node should be added to the QE
+      node.  This node provides information on the uploaded firmware that
+      device drivers may need.
+
+      Required properties:
+      - id: The string name of the firmware.  This is taken from the 'id'
+            member of the qe_firmware structure of the uploaded firmware.
+            Device drivers can search this string to determine if the
+            firmware they want is already present.
+      - extended-modes: The Extended Modes bitfield, taken from the
+                   firmware binary.  It is a 64-bit number represented
+                   as an array of two 32-bit numbers.
+      - virtual-traps: The virtual traps, taken from the firmware binary.
+                  It is an array of 8 32-bit numbers.
+
+Example:

+* Parallel I/O Ports
+
+This node configures Parallel I/O ports for CPUs with QE support.
+The node should reside in the "soc" node of the tree.  For each
+device that using parallel I/O ports, a child node should be created.
+See the definition of the Pin configuration nodes below for more
+information.
+
+Required properties:
+- device_type : should be "par_io".
+- reg : offset to the register set and its length.
+- num-ports : number of Parallel I/O ports
+
+Example:
+par_io@1400 {

+        #address-cells = <1>;
+        #size-cells = <0>;

+        num-ports = <7>;
+        ucc_pin@01 {
+                ......
+        };
+
+Note that "par_io" nodes are obsolete, and should not be used for
+the new device trees. Instead, each Par I/O bank should be represented
+via its own gpio-controller node:
+
+Required properties:
+- #gpio-cells : should be "2".
+- compatible : should be "fsl,<chip>-qe-pario-bank",
+  "fsl,mpc8323-qe-pario-bank".
+- reg : offset to the register set and its length.
+- gpio-controller : node to identify gpio controllers.

+        qe_pio_a: gpio-controller@1400 {
+                #gpio-cells = <2>;

+* Pin configuration nodes
+
+Required properties:
+- linux,phandle : phandle of this node; likely referenced by a QE
+  device.
+- pio-map : array of pin configurations.  Each pin is defined by 6
+  integers.  The six numbers are respectively: port, pin, dir,
+  open_drain, assignment, has_irq.
+  - port : port number of the pin; 0-6 represent port A-G in UM.
+  - pin : pin number in the port.
+  - dir : direction of the pin, should encode as follows:
+
+     0 = The pin is disabled
+     1 = The pin is an output
+     2 = The pin is an input
+     3 = The pin is I/O
+
+  - open_drain : indicates the pin is normal or wired-OR:
+
+     0 = The pin is actively driven as an output
+     1 = The pin is an open-drain driver. As an output, the pin is
+         driven active-low, otherwise it is three-stated.
+
+  - assignment : function number of the pin according to the Pin Assignment
+    tables in User Manual.  Each pin can have up to 4 possible functions in
+    QE and two options for CPM.
+  - has_irq : indicates if the pin is used as source of external
+    interrupts.

+  "bisync", "atm", or "serial".
+- compatible : could be "ucc_geth" or "fsl_atm" and so on.
+- cell-index : the ucc number(1-8), corresponding to UCCx in UM.
+- reg : Offset and length of the register set for the device
+- interrupts : <a b> where a is the interrupt number and b is a
+  field that represents an encoding of the sense and level
+  information for the interrupt.  This should be encoded based on
+  the information in section 2) depending on the type of interrupt
+  controller you have.
+- interrupt-parent : the phandle for the interrupt controller that
+  services interrupts for this device.
+- pio-handle : The phandle for the Parallel I/O port configuration.
+- port-number : for UART drivers, the port number to use, between 0 and 3.
+  This usually corresponds to the /dev/ttyQE device, e.g. <0> = /dev/ttyQE0.
+  The port number is added to the minor number of the device.  Unlike the
+  CPM UART driver, the port-number is required for the QE UART driver.
+- soft-uart : for UART drivers, if specified this means the QE UART device
+  driver should use "Soft-UART" mode, which is needed on some SOCs that have
+  broken UART hardware.  Soft-UART is provided via a microcode upload.
+- rx-clock-name: the UCC receive clock source
+  "none": clock source is disabled
+  "brg1" through "brg16": clock source is BRG1-BRG16, respectively
+  "clk1" through "clk24": clock source is CLK1-CLK24, respectively
+- tx-clock-name: the UCC transmit clock source
+  "none": clock source is disabled
+  "brg1" through "brg16": clock source is BRG1-BRG16, respectively
+  "clk1" through "clk24": clock source is CLK1-CLK24, respectively
+The following two properties are deprecated.  rx-clock has been replaced
+with rx-clock-name, and tx-clock has been replaced with tx-clock-name.
+Drivers that currently use the deprecated properties should continue to
+do so, in order to support older device trees, but they should be updated
+to check for the new properties first.
+- rx-clock : represents the UCC receive clock source.
+  0x00 : clock source is disabled;
+  0x1~0x10 : clock source is BRG1~BRG16 respectively;
+  0x11~0x28: clock source is QE_CLK1~QE_CLK24 respectively.
+- tx-clock: represents the UCC transmit clock source;
+  0x00 : clock source is disabled;
+  0x1~0x10 : clock source is BRG1~BRG16 respectively;
+  0x11~0x28: clock source is QE_CLK1~QE_CLK24 respectively.
+
+Required properties for network device_type:
+- mac-address : list of bytes representing the ethernet address.
+- phy-handle : The phandle for the PHY connected to this controller.
+
+Recommended properties:
+- phy-connection-type : a string naming the controller/PHY interface type,
+  i.e., "mii" (default), "rmii", "gmii", "rgmii", "rgmii-id" (Internal
+  Delay), "rgmii-txid" (delay on TX only), "rgmii-rxid" (delay on RX only),

+* MDIO IO device
+
+The MDIO is a bus to which the PHY devices are connected.  For each

+the definition of the PHY node below for an example of how to define
+a PHY.
+
+Required properties:
+  - reg : Offset and length of the register set for the device
+  - compatible : Should define the compatible device type for the
+    mdio.  Currently, this is most likely to be "fsl,gianfar-mdio"

+                };
+        };
+
+
+* Gianfar-compatible ethernet nodes
+
+Required properties:
+
+  - device_type : Should be "network"
+  - model : Model of the device.  Can be "TSEC", "eTSEC", or "FEC"
+  - compatible : Should be "gianfar"
+  - reg : Offset and length of the register set for the device
+  - mac-address : List of bytes representing the ethernet address of
+    this controller
+  - interrupts : <a b> where a is the interrupt number and b is a
+    field that represents an encoding of the sense and level
+    information for the interrupt.  This should be encoded based on
+    the information in section 2) depending on the type of interrupt
+    controller you have.
+  - interrupt-parent : the phandle for the interrupt controller that
+    services interrupts for this device.
+  - phy-handle : The phandle for the PHY connected to this ethernet
+    controller.
+  - fixed-link : <a b c d e> where a is emulated phy id - choose any,
+    but unique to the all specified fixed-links, b is duplex - 0 half,
+    1 full, c is link speed - d#10/d#100/d#1000, d is pause - 0 no
+    pause, 1 pause, e is asym_pause - 0 no asym_pause, 1 asym_pause.
+
+Recommended properties:

+Freescale SOC USB controllers
+
+The device node for a USB controller that is part of a Freescale
+SOC is as described in the document "Open Firmware Recommended
+Practice : Universal Serial Bus" with the following modifications
+and additions :
+
+Required properties :
+ - compatible : Should be "fsl-usb2-mph" for multi port host USB
+   controllers, or "fsl-usb2-dr" for dual role USB controllers
+ - phy_type : For multi port host USB controllers, should be one of
+   "ulpi", or "serial". For dual role USB controllers, should be
+   one of "ulpi", "utmi", "utmi_wide", or "serial".
+ - reg : Offset and length of the register set for the device
+ - port0 : boolean; if defined, indicates port0 is connected for
+   fsl-usb2-mph compatible controllers.  Either this property or
+   "port1" (or both) must be defined for "fsl-usb2-mph" compatible
+   controllers.

+   fsl-usb2-mph compatible controllers.  Either this property or
+   "port0" (or both) must be defined for "fsl-usb2-mph" compatible
+   controllers.
+ - dr_mode : indicates the working mode for "fsl-usb2-dr" compatible
+   controllers.  Can be "host", "peripheral", or "otg".  Default to
+   "host" if not defined for backward compatibility.
+
+Recommended properties :
+ - interrupts : <a b> where a is the interrupt number and b is a
+   field that represents an encoding of the sense and level
+   information for the interrupt.  This should be encoded based on
+   the information in section 2) depending on the type of interrupt
+   controller you have.

+                In-kernel memory-mapped I/O tracing
+
+
+Home page and links to optional user space tools:
+
+        http://nouveau.freedesktop.org/wiki/MmioTrace
+
+MMIO tracing was originally developed by Intel around 2003 for their Fault
+Injection Test Harness. In Dec 2006 - Jan 2007, using the code from Intel,
+Jeff Muizelaar created a tool for tracing MMIO accesses with the Nouveau
+project in mind. Since then many people have contributed.
+
+Mmiotrace was built for reverse engineering any memory-mapped IO device with
+the Nouveau project as the first real user. Only x86 and x86_64 architectures
+are supported.
+
+Out-of-tree mmiotrace was originally modified for mainline inclusion and
+ftrace framework by Pekka Paalanen <pq@iki.fi>.
+
+
+Preparation
+-----------
+
+Mmiotrace feature is compiled in by the CONFIG_MMIOTRACE option. Tracing is
+disabled by default, so it is safe to have this set to yes. SMP systems are
+supported, but tracing is unreliable and may miss events if more than one CPU
+is on-line, therefore mmiotrace takes all but one CPU off-line during run-time
+activation. You can re-enable CPUs by hand, but you have been warned, there
+is no way to automatically detect if you are losing events due to CPUs racing.
+
+
+Usage Quick Reference
+---------------------
+
+$ mount -t debugfs debugfs /debug
+$ echo mmiotrace > /debug/tracing/current_tracer
+$ cat /debug/tracing/trace_pipe > mydump.txt &
+Start X or whatever.
+$ echo "X is up" > /debug/tracing/marker
+$ echo none > /debug/tracing/current_tracer
+Check for lost events.
+
+
+Usage
+-----
+
+Make sure debugfs is mounted to /debug. If not, (requires root privileges)
+$ mount -t debugfs debugfs /debug
+
+Check that the driver you are about to trace is not loaded.
+
+Activate mmiotrace (requires root privileges):
+$ echo mmiotrace > /debug/tracing/current_tracer
+
+Start storing the trace:
+$ cat /debug/tracing/trace_pipe > mydump.txt &
+The 'cat' process should stay running (sleeping) in the background.
+
+Load the driver you want to trace and use it. Mmiotrace will only catch MMIO
+accesses to areas that are ioremapped while mmiotrace is active.
+
+[Unimplemented feature:]
+During tracing you can place comments (markers) into the trace by
+$ echo "X is up" > /debug/tracing/marker
+This makes it easier to see which part of the (huge) trace corresponds to
+which action. It is recommended to place descriptive markers about what you
+do.
+
+Shut down mmiotrace (requires root privileges):
+$ echo none > /debug/tracing/current_tracer
+The 'cat' process exits. If it does not, kill it by issuing 'fg' command and
+pressing ctrl+c.
+
+Check that mmiotrace did not lose events due to a buffer filling up. Either
+$ grep -i lost mydump.txt
+which tells you exactly how many events were lost, or use
+$ dmesg
+to view your kernel log and look for "mmiotrace has lost events" warning. If
+events were lost, the trace is incomplete. You should enlarge the buffers and
+try again. Buffers are enlarged by first seeing how large the current buffers
+are:
+$ cat /debug/tracing/trace_entries
+gives you a number. Approximately double this number and write it back, for
+instance:
+$ echo 128000 > /debug/tracing/trace_entries
+Then start again from the top.
+
+If you are doing a trace for a driver project, e.g. Nouveau, you should also
+do the following before sending your results:
+$ lspci -vvv > lspci.txt
+$ dmesg > dmesg.txt
+$ tar zcf pciid-nick-mmiotrace.tar.gz mydump.txt lspci.txt dmesg.txt
+and then send the .tar.gz file. The trace compresses considerably. Replace
+"pciid" and "nick" with the PCI ID or model name of your piece of hardware
+under investigation and your nick name.
+
+
+How Mmiotrace Works
+-------------------
+
+Access to hardware IO-memory is gained by mapping addresses from PCI bus by
+calling one of the ioremap_*() functions. Mmiotrace is hooked into the
+__ioremap() function and gets called whenever a mapping is created. Mapping is
+an event that is recorded into the trace log. Note, that ISA range mappings
+are not caught, since the mapping always exists and is returned directly.
+
+MMIO accesses are recorded via page faults. Just before __ioremap() returns,
+the mapped pages are marked as not present. Any access to the pages causes a
+fault. The page fault handler calls mmiotrace to handle the fault. Mmiotrace
+marks the page present, sets TF flag to achieve single stepping and exits the
+fault handler. The instruction that faulted is executed and debug trap is
+entered. Here mmiotrace again marks the page as not present. The instruction
+is decoded to get the type of operation (read/write), data width and the value
+read or written. These are stored to the trace log.
+
+Setting the page present in the page fault handler has a race condition on SMP
+machines. During the single stepping other CPUs may run freely on that page
+and events can be missed without a notice. Re-enabling other CPUs during
+tracing is discouraged.
+
+
+Trace Log Format
+----------------
+
+The raw log is text and easily filtered with e.g. grep and awk. One record is
+one line in the log. A record starts with a keyword, followed by keyword
+dependant arguments. Arguments are separated by a space, or continue until the
+end of line. The format for version 20070824 is as follows:
+
+Explanation     Keyword Space separated arguments
+---------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+read event      R       width, timestamp, map id, physical, value, PC, PID
+write event     W       width, timestamp, map id, physical, value, PC, PID
+ioremap event   MAP     timestamp, map id, physical, virtual, length, PC, PID
+iounmap event   UNMAP   timestamp, map id, PC, PID
+marker          MARK    timestamp, text
+version         VERSION the string "20070824"
+info for reader LSPCI   one line from lspci -v
+PCI address map PCIDEV  space separated /proc/bus/pci/devices data
+unk. opcode     UNKNOWN timestamp, map id, physical, data, PC, PID
+
+Timestamp is in seconds with decimals. Physical is a PCI bus address, virtual
+is a kernel virtual address. Width is the data width in bytes and value is the
+data value. Map id is an arbitrary id number identifying the mapping that was
+used in an operation. PC is the program counter and PID is process id. PC is
+zero if it is not recorded. PID is always zero as tracing MMIO accesses
+originating in user space memory is not yet supported.
+
+For instance, the following awk filter will pass all 32-bit writes that target
+physical addresses in the range [0xfb73ce40, 0xfb800000[
+
+$ awk '/W 4 / { adr=strtonum($5); if (adr >= 0xfb73ce40 &&
+adr < 0xfb800000) print; }'
+
+
+Tools for Developers
+--------------------
+
+The user space tools include utilities for:
+- replacing numeric addresses and values with hardware register names
+- replaying MMIO logs, i.e., re-executing the recorded writes
