+Using hlist_nulls to protect read-mostly linked lists and
+objects using SLAB_DESTROY_BY_RCU allocations.
+
+Please read the basics in Documentation/RCU/listRCU.txt
+
+Using special makers (called 'nulls') is a convenient way
+to solve following problem :
+
+A typical RCU linked list managing objects which are
+allocated with SLAB_DESTROY_BY_RCU kmem_cache can
+use following algos :
+
+1) Lookup algo
+--------------
+rcu_read_lock()
+begin:
+obj = lockless_lookup(key);
+if (obj) {
+  if (!try_get_ref(obj)) // might fail for free objects
+    goto begin;
+  /*
+   * Because a writer could delete object, and a writer could
+   * reuse these object before the RCU grace period, we
+   * must check key after geting the reference on object
+   */
+  if (obj->key != key) { // not the object we expected
+     put_ref(obj);
+     goto begin;
+   }
+}
+rcu_read_unlock();
+
+Beware that lockless_lookup(key) cannot use traditional hlist_for_each_entry_rcu()
+but a version with an additional memory barrier (smp_rmb())
+
+lockless_lookup(key)
+{
+   struct hlist_node *node, *next;
+   for (pos = rcu_dereference((head)->first);
+          pos && ({ next = pos->next; smp_rmb(); prefetch(next); 1; }) &&
+          ({ tpos = hlist_entry(pos, typeof(*tpos), member); 1; });
+          pos = rcu_dereference(next))
+      if (obj->key == key)
+         return obj;
+   return NULL;
+
+And note the traditional hlist_for_each_entry_rcu() misses this smp_rmb() :
+
+   struct hlist_node *node;
+   for (pos = rcu_dereference((head)->first);
+                pos && ({ prefetch(pos->next); 1; }) &&
+                ({ tpos = hlist_entry(pos, typeof(*tpos), member); 1; });
+                pos = rcu_dereference(pos->next))
+      if (obj->key == key)
+         return obj;
+   return NULL;
+}
+
+Quoting Corey Minyard :
+
+"If the object is moved from one list to another list in-between the
+ time the hash is calculated and the next field is accessed, and the
+ object has moved to the end of a new list, the traversal will not
+ complete properly on the list it should have, since the object will
+ be on the end of the new list and there's not a way to tell it's on a
+ new list and restart the list traversal.  I think that this can be
+ solved by pre-fetching the "next" field (with proper barriers) before
+ checking the key."
+
+2) Insert algo :
+----------------
+
+We need to make sure a reader cannot read the new 'obj->obj_next' value
+and previous value of 'obj->key'. Or else, an item could be deleted
+from a chain, and inserted into another chain. If new chain was empty
+before the move, 'next' pointer is NULL, and lockless reader can
+not detect it missed following items in original chain.
+
+/*
+ * Please note that new inserts are done at the head of list,
+ * not in the middle or end.
+ */
+obj = kmem_cache_alloc(...);
+lock_chain(); // typically a spin_lock()
+obj->key = key;
+atomic_inc(&obj->refcnt);
+/*
+ * we need to make sure obj->key is updated before obj->next
+ */
+smp_wmb();
+hlist_add_head_rcu(&obj->obj_node, list);
+unlock_chain(); // typically a spin_unlock()
+
+
+3) Remove algo
+--------------
+Nothing special here, we can use a standard RCU hlist deletion.
+But thanks to SLAB_DESTROY_BY_RCU, beware a deleted object can be reused
+very very fast (before the end of RCU grace period)
+
+if (put_last_reference_on(obj) {
+   lock_chain(); // typically a spin_lock()
+   hlist_del_init_rcu(&obj->obj_node);
+   unlock_chain(); // typically a spin_unlock()
+   kmem_cache_free(cachep, obj);
+}
+
+
+
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------
+With hlist_nulls we can avoid extra smp_rmb() in lockless_lookup()
+and extra smp_wmb() in insert function.
+
+For example, if we choose to store the slot number as the 'nulls'
+end-of-list marker for each slot of the hash table, we can detect
+a race (some writer did a delete and/or a move of an object
+to another chain) checking the final 'nulls' value if
+the lookup met the end of chain. If final 'nulls' value
+is not the slot number, then we must restart the lookup at
+the begining. If the object was moved to same chain,
+then the reader doesnt care : It might eventually
+scan the list again without harm.
+
+
+1) lookup algo
+
+ head = &table[slot];
+ rcu_read_lock();
+begin:
+ hlist_nulls_for_each_entry_rcu(obj, node, head, member) {
+   if (obj->key == key) {
+      if (!try_get_ref(obj)) // might fail for free objects
+         goto begin;
+      if (obj->key != key) { // not the object we expected
+         put_ref(obj);
+         goto begin;
+      }
+  goto out;
+ }
+/*
+ * if the nulls value we got at the end of this lookup is
+ * not the expected one, we must restart lookup.
+ * We probably met an item that was moved to another chain.
+ */
+ if (get_nulls_value(node) != slot)
+   goto begin;
+ obj = NULL;
+
+out:
+ rcu_read_unlock();
+
+2) Insert function :
+--------------------
+
+/*
+ * Please note that new inserts are done at the head of list,
+ * not in the middle or end.
+ */
+obj = kmem_cache_alloc(cachep);
+lock_chain(); // typically a spin_lock()
+obj->key = key;
+atomic_set(&obj->refcnt, 1);

+CONFIG_RCU_TRACE debugfs Files and Formats
+
+
+The rcupreempt and rcutree implementations of RCU provide debugfs trace
+output that summarizes counters and state.  This information is useful for
+debugging RCU itself, and can sometimes also help to debug abuses of RCU.
+Note that the rcuclassic implementation of RCU does not provide debugfs
+trace output.
+
+The following sections describe the debugfs files and formats for
+preemptable RCU (rcupreempt) and hierarchical RCU (rcutree).
+
+
+Preemptable RCU debugfs Files and Formats
+
+This implementation of RCU provides three debugfs files under the
+top-level directory RCU: rcu/rcuctrs (which displays the per-CPU
+counters used by preemptable RCU) rcu/rcugp (which displays grace-period
+counters), and rcu/rcustats (which internal counters for debugging RCU).
+
+The output of "cat rcu/rcuctrs" looks as follows:
+
+CPU last cur F M
+  0    5  -5 0 0
+  1   -1   0 0 0
+  2    0   1 0 0
+  3    0   1 0 0
+  4    0   1 0 0
+  5    0   1 0 0
+  6    0   2 0 0
+  7    0  -1 0 0
+  8    0   1 0 0
+ggp = 26226, state = waitzero
+
+The per-CPU fields are as follows:
+
+o       "CPU" gives the CPU number.  Offline CPUs are not displayed.
+
+o       "last" gives the value of the counter that is being decremented
+        for the current grace period phase.  In the example above,
+        the counters sum to 4, indicating that there are still four
+        RCU read-side critical sections still running that started
+        before the last counter flip.
+
+o       "cur" gives the value of the counter that is currently being
+        both incremented (by rcu_read_lock()) and decremented (by
+        rcu_read_unlock()).  In the example above, the counters sum to
+        1, indicating that there is only one RCU read-side critical section
+        still running that started after the last counter flip.
+
+o       "F" indicates whether RCU is waiting for this CPU to acknowledge
+        a counter flip.  In the above example, RCU is not waiting on any,
+        which is consistent with the state being "waitzero" rather than
+        "waitack".
+
+o       "M" indicates whether RCU is waiting for this CPU to execute a
+        memory barrier.  In the above example, RCU is not waiting on any,
+        which is consistent with the state being "waitzero" rather than
+        "waitmb".
+
+o       "ggp" is the global grace-period counter.
+
+o       "state" is the RCU state, which can be one of the following:
+
+        o       "idle": there is no grace period in progress.
+
+        o       "waitack": RCU just incremented the global grace-period
+                counter, which has the effect of reversing the roles of
+                the "last" and "cur" counters above, and is waiting for
+                all the CPUs to acknowledge the flip.  Once the flip has
+                been acknowledged, CPUs will no longer be incrementing
+                what are now the "last" counters, so that their sum will
+                decrease monotonically down to zero.
+
+        o       "waitzero": RCU is waiting for the sum of the "last" counters
+                to decrease to zero.
+
+        o       "waitmb": RCU is waiting for each CPU to execute a memory
+                barrier, which ensures that instructions from a given CPU's
+                last RCU read-side critical section cannot be reordered
+                with instructions following the memory-barrier instruction.
+
+The output of "cat rcu/rcugp" looks as follows:
+
+oldggp=48870  newggp=48873
+
+Note that reading from this file provokes a synchronize_rcu().  The
+"oldggp" value is that of "ggp" from rcu/rcuctrs above, taken before
+executing the synchronize_rcu(), and the "newggp" value is also the
+"ggp" value, but taken after the synchronize_rcu() command returns.
+
+
+The output of "cat rcu/rcugp" looks as follows:
+
+na=1337955 nl=40 wa=1337915 wl=44 da=1337871 dl=0 dr=1337871 di=1337871
+1=50989 e1=6138 i1=49722 ie1=82 g1=49640 a1=315203 ae1=265563 a2=49640
+z1=1401244 ze1=1351605 z2=49639 m1=5661253 me1=5611614 m2=49639
+
+These are counters tracking internal preemptable-RCU events, however,
+some of them may be useful for debugging algorithms using RCU.  In
+particular, the "nl", "wl", and "dl" values track the number of RCU
+callbacks in various states.  The fields are as follows:
+
+o       "na" is the total number of RCU callbacks that have been enqueued
+        since boot.
+
+o       "nl" is the number of RCU callbacks waiting for the previous
+        grace period to end so that they can start waiting on the next
+        grace period.
+
+o       "wa" is the total number of RCU callbacks that have started waiting
+        for a grace period since boot.  "na" should be roughly equal to
+        "nl" plus "wa".
+
+o       "wl" is the number of RCU callbacks currently waiting for their
+        grace period to end.
+
+o       "da" is the total number of RCU callbacks whose grace periods
+        have completed since boot.  "wa" should be roughly equal to
+        "wl" plus "da".
+
+o       "dr" is the total number of RCU callbacks that have been removed
+        from the list of callbacks ready to invoke.  "dr" should be roughly
+        equal to "da".
+
+o       "di" is the total number of RCU callbacks that have been invoked
+        since boot.  "di" should be roughly equal to "da", though some
+        early versions of preemptable RCU had a bug so that only the
+        last CPU's count of invocations was displayed, rather than the
+        sum of all CPU's counts.
+
+o       "1" is the number of calls to rcu_try_flip().  This should be
+        roughly equal to the sum of "e1", "i1", "a1", "z1", and "m1"
+        described below.  In other words, the number of times that
+        the state machine is visited should be equal to the sum of the
+        number of times that each state is visited plus the number of
+        times that the state-machine lock acquisition failed.
+
+o       "e1" is the number of times that rcu_try_flip() was unable to
+        acquire the fliplock.
+
+o       "i1" is the number of calls to rcu_try_flip_idle().
+
+o       "ie1" is the number of times rcu_try_flip_idle() exited early
+        due to the calling CPU having no work for RCU.
+
+o       "g1" is the number of times that rcu_try_flip_idle() decided
+        to start a new grace period.  "i1" should be roughly equal to
+        "ie1" plus "g1".
+
+o       "a1" is the number of calls to rcu_try_flip_waitack().
+
+o       "ae1" is the number of times that rcu_try_flip_waitack() found
+        that at least one CPU had not yet acknowledge the new grace period
+        (AKA "counter flip").
+
+o       "a2" is the number of time rcu_try_flip_waitack() found that
+        all CPUs had acknowledged.  "a1" should be roughly equal to
+        "ae1" plus "a2".  (This particular output was collected on
+        a 128-CPU machine, hence the smaller-than-usual fraction of
+        calls to rcu_try_flip_waitack() finding all CPUs having already
+        acknowledged.)
+
+o       "z1" is the number of calls to rcu_try_flip_waitzero().
+
+o       "ze1" is the number of times that rcu_try_flip_waitzero() found
+        that not all of the old RCU read-side critical sections had
+        completed.
+
+o       "z2" is the number of times that rcu_try_flip_waitzero() finds
+        the sum of the counters equal to zero, in other words, that
+        all of the old RCU read-side critical sections had completed.
+        The value of "z1" should be roughly equal to "ze1" plus
+        "z2".
+
+o       "m1" is the number of calls to rcu_try_flip_waitmb().
+
+o       "me1" is the number of times that rcu_try_flip_waitmb() finds
+        that at least one CPU has not yet executed a memory barrier.
+
+o       "m2" is the number of times that rcu_try_flip_waitmb() finds that
+        all CPUs have executed a memory barrier.
+
+
+Hierarchical RCU debugfs Files and Formats
+
+This implementation of RCU provides three debugfs files under the
+top-level directory RCU: rcu/rcudata (which displays fields in struct
+rcu_data), rcu/rcugp (which displays grace-period counters), and
+rcu/rcuhier (which displays the struct rcu_node hierarchy).
+
+The output of "cat rcu/rcudata" looks as follows:
+

+
+The first section lists the rcu_data structures for rcu, the second for
+rcu_bh.  Each section has one line per CPU, or eight for this 8-CPU system.
+The fields are as follows:
+
+o       The number at the beginning of each line is the CPU number.
+        CPUs numbers followed by an exclamation mark are offline,
+        but have been online at least once since boot.  There will be
+        no output for CPUs that have never been online, which can be
+        a good thing in the surprisingly common case where NR_CPUS is
+        substantially larger than the number of actual CPUs.
+
+o       "c" is the count of grace periods that this CPU believes have
+        completed.  CPUs in dynticks idle mode may lag quite a ways
+        behind, for example, CPU 4 under "rcu" above, which has slept
+        through the past 25 RCU grace periods.  It is not unusual to
+        see CPUs lagging by thousands of grace periods.
+
+o       "g" is the count of grace periods that this CPU believes have
+        started.  Again, CPUs in dynticks idle mode may lag behind.
+        If the "c" and "g" values are equal, this CPU has already
+        reported a quiescent state for the last RCU grace period that
+        it is aware of, otherwise, the CPU believes that it owes RCU a
+        quiescent state.
+
+o       "pq" indicates that this CPU has passed through a quiescent state
+        for the current grace period.  It is possible for "pq" to be
+        "1" and "c" different than "g", which indicates that although
+        the CPU has passed through a quiescent state, either (1) this
+        CPU has not yet reported that fact, (2) some other CPU has not
+        yet reported for this grace period, or (3) both.
+
+o       "pqc" indicates which grace period the last-observed quiescent
+        state for this CPU corresponds to.  This is important for handling
+        the race between CPU 0 reporting an extended dynticks-idle
+        quiescent state for CPU 1 and CPU 1 suddenly waking up and
+        reporting its own quiescent state.  If CPU 1 was the last CPU
+        for the current grace period, then the CPU that loses this race
+        will attempt to incorrectly mark CPU 1 as having checked in for
+        the next grace period!
+
+o       "qp" indicates that RCU still expects a quiescent state from
+        this CPU.
+
+o       "rpfq" is the number of rcu_pending() calls on this CPU required
+        to induce this CPU to invoke force_quiescent_state().
+
+o       "rp" is low-order four hex digits of the count of how many times
+        rcu_pending() has been invoked on this CPU.
+
+o       "dt" is the current value of the dyntick counter that is incremented
+        when entering or leaving dynticks idle state, either by the
+        scheduler or by irq.  The number after the "/" is the interrupt
+        nesting depth when in dyntick-idle state, or one greater than
+        the interrupt-nesting depth otherwise.
+
+        This field is displayed only for CONFIG_NO_HZ kernels.
+
+o       "dn" is the current value of the dyntick counter that is incremented
+        when entering or leaving dynticks idle state via NMI.  If both
+        the "dt" and "dn" values are even, then this CPU is in dynticks
+        idle mode and may be ignored by RCU.  If either of these two
+        counters is odd, then RCU must be alert to the possibility of
+        an RCU read-side critical section running on this CPU.
+
+        This field is displayed only for CONFIG_NO_HZ kernels.
+
+o       "df" is the number of times that some other CPU has forced a
+        quiescent state on behalf of this CPU due to this CPU being in
+        dynticks-idle state.
+
+        This field is displayed only for CONFIG_NO_HZ kernels.
+
+o       "of" is the number of times that some other CPU has forced a
+        quiescent state on behalf of this CPU due to this CPU being
+        offline.  In a perfect world, this might neve happen, but it
+        turns out that offlining and onlining a CPU can take several grace
+        periods, and so there is likely to be an extended period of time
+        when RCU believes that the CPU is online when it really is not.
+        Please note that erring in the other direction (RCU believing a
+        CPU is offline when it is really alive and kicking) is a fatal
+        error, so it makes sense to err conservatively.
+
+o       "ri" is the number of times that RCU has seen fit to send a
+        reschedule IPI to this CPU in order to get it to report a
+        quiescent state.
+
+o       "ql" is the number of RCU callbacks currently residing on
+        this CPU.  This is the total number of callbacks, regardless
+        of what state they are in (new, waiting for grace period to
+        start, waiting for grace period to end, ready to invoke).
+
+o       "b" is the batch limit for this CPU.  If more than this number
+        of RCU callbacks is ready to invoke, then the remainder will
+        be deferred.
+
+
+The output of "cat rcu/rcugp" looks as follows:
+
+rcu: completed=33062  gpnum=33063
+rcu_bh: completed=464  gpnum=464
+
+Again, this output is for both "rcu" and "rcu_bh".  The fields are
+taken from the rcu_state structure, and are as follows:
+
+o       "completed" is the number of grace periods that have completed.
+        It is comparable to the "c" field from rcu/rcudata in that a
+        CPU whose "c" field matches the value of "completed" is aware
+        that the corresponding RCU grace period has completed.
+
+o       "gpnum" is the number of grace periods that have started.  It is
+        comparable to the "g" field from rcu/rcudata in that a CPU
+        whose "g" field matches the value of "gpnum" is aware that the
+        corresponding RCU grace period has started.
+
+        If these two fields are equal (as they are for "rcu_bh" above),
+        then there is no grace period in progress, in other words, RCU
+        is idle.  On the other hand, if the two fields differ (as they
+        do for "rcu" above), then an RCU grace period is in progress.
+
+
+The output of "cat rcu/rcuhier" looks as follows, with very long lines:
+
+c=6902 g=6903 s=2 jfq=3 j=72c7 nfqs=13142/nfqsng=0(13142) fqlh=6

+
+This is once again split into "rcu" and "rcu_bh" portions.  The fields are
+as follows:
+
+o       "c" is exactly the same as "completed" under rcu/rcugp.
+
+o       "g" is exactly the same as "gpnum" under rcu/rcugp.
+
+o       "s" is the "signaled" state that drives force_quiescent_state()'s
+        state machine.
+
+o       "jfq" is the number of jiffies remaining for this grace period
+        before force_quiescent_state() is invoked to help push things
+        along.  Note that CPUs in dyntick-idle mode thoughout the grace
+        period will not report on their own, but rather must be check by
+        some other CPU via force_quiescent_state().
+
+o       "j" is the low-order four hex digits of the jiffies counter.
+        Yes, Paul did run into a number of problems that turned out to
+        be due to the jiffies counter no longer counting.  Why do you ask?
+
+o       "nfqs" is the number of calls to force_quiescent_state() since
+        boot.
+
+o       "nfqsng" is the number of useless calls to force_quiescent_state(),
+        where there wasn't actually a grace period active.  This can
+        happen due to races.  The number in parentheses is the difference
+        between "nfqs" and "nfqsng", or the number of times that
+        force_quiescent_state() actually did some real work.
+
+o       "fqlh" is the number of calls to force_quiescent_state() that
+        exited immediately (without even being counted in nfqs above)
+        due to contention on ->fqslock.
+
+o       Each element of the form "1/1 0:127 ^0" represents one struct
+        rcu_node.  Each line represents one level of the hierarchy, from
+        root to leaves.  It is best to think of the rcu_data structures
+        as forming yet another level after the leaves.  Note that there
+        might be either one, two, or three levels of rcu_node structures,
+        depending on the relationship between CONFIG_RCU_FANOUT and
+        CONFIG_NR_CPUS.
+        
+        o       The numbers separated by the "/" are the qsmask followed
+                by the qsmaskinit.  The qsmask will have one bit
+                set for each entity in the next lower level that
+                has not yet checked in for the current grace period.
+                The qsmaskinit will have one bit for each entity that is
+                currently expected to check in during each grace period.
+                The value of qsmaskinit is assigned to that of qsmask
+                at the beginning of each grace period.
+
+                For example, for "rcu", the qsmask of the first entry
+                of the lowest level is 0x14, meaning that we are still
+                waiting for CPUs 2 and 4 to check in for the current
+                grace period.
+
+        o       The numbers separated by the ":" are the range of CPUs
+                served by this struct rcu_node.  This can be helpful
+                in working out how the hierarchy is wired together.
+
+                For example, the first entry at the lowest level shows
+                "0:5", indicating that it covers CPUs 0 through 5.
+
+        o       The number after the "^" indicates the bit in the
+                next higher level rcu_node structure that this
+                rcu_node structure corresponds to.
+
+                For example, the first entry at the lowest level shows
+                "^0", indicating that it corresponds to bit zero in
+                the first entry at the middle level.

+                 MFP Configuration for PXA2xx/PXA3xx Processors
+
+                        Eric Miao <eric.miao@marvell.com>
+
+MFP stands for Multi-Function Pin, which is the pin-mux logic on PXA3xx and
+later PXA series processors.  This document describes the existing MFP API,
+and how board/platform driver authors could make use of it.
+
+ Basic Concept
+===============
+
+Unlike the GPIO alternate function settings on PXA25x and PXA27x, a new MFP
+mechanism is introduced from PXA3xx to completely move the pin-mux functions
+out of the GPIO controller. In addition to pin-mux configurations, the MFP
+also controls the low power state, driving strength, pull-up/down and event
+detection of each pin.  Below is a diagram of internal connections between
+the MFP logic and the remaining SoC peripherals:
+
+ +--------+
+ |        |--(GPIO19)--+
+ |  GPIO  |            |
+ |        |--(GPIO...) |
+ +--------+            |
+                       |       +---------+
+ +--------+            +------>|         |
+ |  PWM2  |--(PWM_OUT)-------->|   MFP   |
+ +--------+            +------>|         |-------> to external PAD
+                       | +---->|         |
+ +--------+            | | +-->|         |
+ |  SSP2  |---(TXD)----+ | |   +---------+
+ +--------+              | |
+                         | |
+ +--------+              | |
+ | Keypad |--(MKOUT4)----+ |
+ +--------+                |
+                           |
+ +--------+                |
+ |  UART2 |---(TXD)--------+
+ +--------+
+
+NOTE: the external pad is named as MFP_PIN_GPIO19, it doesn't necessarily
+mean it's dedicated for GPIO19, only as a hint that internally this pin
+can be routed from GPIO19 of the GPIO controller.
+
+To better understand the change from PXA25x/PXA27x GPIO alternate function
+to this new MFP mechanism, here are several key points:
+
+  1. GPIO controller on PXA3xx is now a dedicated controller, same as other
+     internal controllers like PWM, SSP and UART, with 128 internal signals
+     which can be routed to external through one or more MFPs (e.g. GPIO<0>
+     can be routed through either MFP_PIN_GPIO0 as well as MFP_PIN_GPIO0_2,
+     see arch/arm/mach-pxa/mach/include/mfp-pxa300.h)
+
+  2. Alternate function configuration is removed from this GPIO controller,
+     the remaining functions are pure GPIO-specific, i.e.
+
+       - GPIO signal level control
+       - GPIO direction control
+       - GPIO level change detection
+
+  3. Low power state for each pin is now controlled by MFP, this means the
+     PGSRx registers on PXA2xx are now useless on PXA3xx
+
+  4. Wakeup detection is now controlled by MFP, PWER does not control the
+     wakeup from GPIO(s) any more, depending on the sleeping state, ADxER
+     (as defined in pxa3xx-regs.h) controls the wakeup from MFP
+
+NOTE: with such a clear separation of MFP and GPIO, by GPIO<xx> we normally
+mean it is a GPIO signal, and by MFP<xxx> or pin xxx, we mean a physical
+pad (or ball).
+
+ MFP API Usage
+===============
+
+For board code writers, here are some guidelines:
+
+1. include ONE of the following header files in your <board>.c:
+
+   - #include <mach/mfp-pxa25x.h>
+   - #include <mach/mfp-pxa27x.h>
+   - #include <mach/mfp-pxa300.h>
+   - #include <mach/mfp-pxa320.h>
+   - #include <mach/mfp-pxa930.h>
+
+   NOTE: only one file in your <board>.c, depending on the processors used,
+   because pin configuration definitions may conflict in these file (i.e.
+   same name, different meaning and settings on different processors). E.g.
+   for zylonite platform, which support both PXA300/PXA310 and PXA320, two
+   separate files are introduced: zylonite_pxa300.c and zylonite_pxa320.c
+   (in addition to handle MFP configuration differences, they also handle
+   the other differences between the two combinations).
+
+   NOTE: PXA300 and PXA310 are almost identical in pin configurations (with
+   PXA310 supporting some additional ones), thus the difference is actually
+   covered in a single mfp-pxa300.h.
+
+2. prepare an array for the initial pin configurations, e.g.:
+
+   static unsigned long mainstone_pin_config[] __initdata = {
+        /* Chip Select */
+        GPIO15_nCS_1,
+
+        /* LCD - 16bpp Active TFT */
+        GPIOxx_TFT_LCD_16BPP,
+        GPIO16_PWM0_OUT,        /* Backlight */
+
+        /* MMC */
+        GPIO32_MMC_CLK,
+        GPIO112_MMC_CMD,
+        GPIO92_MMC_DAT_0,
+        GPIO109_MMC_DAT_1,
+        GPIO110_MMC_DAT_2,
+        GPIO111_MMC_DAT_3,
+
+        ...
+
+        /* GPIO */
+        GPIO1_GPIO | WAKEUP_ON_EDGE_BOTH,
+   };
+
+   a) once the pin configurations are passed to pxa{2xx,3xx}_mfp_config(),
+   and written to the actual registers, they are useless and may discard,
+   adding '__initdata' will help save some additional bytes here.
+
+   b) when there is only one possible pin configurations for a component,
+   some simplified definitions can be used, e.g. GPIOxx_TFT_LCD_16BPP on
+   PXA25x and PXA27x processors
+
+   c) if by board design, a pin can be configured to wake up the system
+   from low power state, it can be 'OR'ed with any of:
+
+      WAKEUP_ON_EDGE_BOTH
+      WAKEUP_ON_EDGE_RISE
+      WAKEUP_ON_EDGE_FALL
+      WAKEUP_ON_LEVEL_HIGH - specifically for enabling of keypad GPIOs,
+
+   to indicate that this pin has the capability of wake-up the system,
+   and on which edge(s). This, however, doesn't necessarily mean the
+   pin _will_ wakeup the system, it will only when set_irq_wake() is
+   invoked with the corresponding GPIO IRQ (GPIO_IRQ(xx) or gpio_to_irq())
+   and eventually calls gpio_set_wake() for the actual register setting.
+
+   d) although PXA3xx MFP supports edge detection on each pin, the
+   internal logic will only wakeup the system when those specific bits
+   in ADxER registers are set, which can be well mapped to the
+   corresponding peripheral, thus set_irq_wake() can be called with 
+   the peripheral IRQ to enable the wakeup.

+
+ MFP Design for PXA2xx/PXA3xx
+==============================
+
+Due to the difference of pin-mux handling between PXA2xx and PXA3xx, a unified
+MFP API is introduced to cover both series of processors.
+
+The basic idea of this design is to introduce definitions for all possible pin
+configurations, these definitions are processor and platform independent, and
+the actual API invoked to convert these definitions into register settings and
+make them effective there-after.

+
+  Pin Configuration
+  -----------------
+
+  The following comments are copied from mfp.h (see the actual source code
+  for most updated info)
+  
+  /*
+   * a possible MFP configuration is represented by a 32-bit integer
+   *
+   * bit  0.. 9 - MFP Pin Number (1024 Pins Maximum)
+   * bit 10..12 - Alternate Function Selection
+   * bit 13..15 - Drive Strength
+   * bit 16..18 - Low Power Mode State
+   * bit 19..20 - Low Power Mode Edge Detection
+   * bit 21..22 - Run Mode Pull State
+   *
+   * to facilitate the definition, the following macros are provided
+   *
+   * MFP_CFG_DEFAULT - default MFP configuration value, with
+   *              alternate function = 0,
+   *              drive strength = fast 3mA (MFP_DS03X)
+   *              low power mode = default
+   *              edge detection = none
+   *
+   * MFP_CFG    - default MFPR value with alternate function
+   * MFP_CFG_DRV        - default MFPR value with alternate function and
+   *              pin drive strength
+   * MFP_CFG_LPM        - default MFPR value with alternate function and
+   *              low power mode
+   * MFP_CFG_X  - default MFPR value with alternate function,
+   *              pin drive strength and low power mode
+   */
+
+   Examples of pin configurations are:
+
+   #define GPIO94_SSP3_RXD              MFP_CFG_X(GPIO94, AF1, DS08X, FLOAT)
+
+   which reads GPIO94 can be configured as SSP3_RXD, with alternate function
+   selection of 1, driving strength of 0b101, and a float state in low power
+   modes.
+
+   NOTE: this is the default setting of this pin being configured as SSP3_RXD
+   which can be modified a bit in board code, though it is not recommended to
+   do so, simply because this default setting is usually carefully encoded,
+   and is supposed to work in most cases.
+
+  Register Settings
+  -----------------
+
+   Register settings on PXA3xx for a pin configuration is actually very
+   straight-forward, most bits can be converted directly into MFPR value
+   in a easier way. Two sets of MFPR values are calculated: the run-time
+   ones and the low power mode ones, to allow different settings.
+
+   The conversion from a generic pin configuration to the actual register
+   settings on PXA2xx is a bit complicated: many registers are involved,
+   including GAFRx, GPDRx, PGSRx, PWER, PKWR, PFER and PRER. Please see
+   mfp-pxa2xx.c for how the conversion is made.

+CPU Accounting Controller
+-------------------------
+
+The CPU accounting controller is used to group tasks using cgroups and

+
+The CPU accounting controller supports multi-hierarchy groups. An accounting

+
+Accounting groups can be created by first mounting the cgroup filesystem.
+
+# mkdir /cgroups
+# mount -t cgroup -ocpuacct none /cgroups
+
+With the above step, the initial or the parent accounting group
+becomes visible at /cgroups. At bootup, this group includes all the

+/cgroups/cpuacct.usage gives the CPU time (in nanoseconds) obtained by

+in the system.
+
+New accounting groups can be created under the parent group /cgroups.

+# cd /cgroups
+# mkdir g1
+# echo $$ > g1
+
+The above steps create a new group g1 and move the current shell

+
+
+========
+OVERVIEW
+========
+
+There are several parts to the security check performed by Linux when one
+object acts upon another:
+
+ (1) Objects.
+
+     Objects are things in the system that may be acted upon directly by
+     userspace programs.  Linux has a variety of actionable objects, including:
+
+        - Tasks
+        - Files/inodes
+        - Sockets
+        - Message queues
+        - Shared memory segments
+        - Semaphores
+        - Keys
+
+     As a part of the description of all these objects there is a set of
+     credentials.  What's in the set depends on the type of object.
+
+ (2) Object ownership.
+
+     Amongst the credentials of most objects, there will be a subset that
+     indicates the ownership of that object.  This is used for resource
+     accounting and limitation (disk quotas and task rlimits for example).
+
+     In a standard UNIX filesystem, for instance, this will be defined by the
+     UID marked on the inode.
+
+ (3) The objective context.
+
+     Also amongst the credentials of those objects, there will be a subset that
+     indicates the 'objective context' of that object.  This may or may not be
+     the same set as in (2) - in standard UNIX files, for instance, this is the
+     defined by the UID and the GID marked on the inode.
+
+     The objective context is used as part of the security calculation that is
+     carried out when an object is acted upon.
+
+ (4) Subjects.
+
+     A subject is an object that is acting upon another object.
+
+     Most of the objects in the system are inactive: they don't act on other
+     objects within the system.  Processes/tasks are the obvious exception:
+     they do stuff; they access and manipulate things.
+
+     Objects other than tasks may under some circumstances also be subjects.
+     For instance an open file may send SIGIO to a task using the UID and EUID
+     given to it by a task that called fcntl(F_SETOWN) upon it.  In this case,
+     the file struct will have a subjective context too.
+
+ (5) The subjective context.
+
+     A subject has an additional interpretation of its credentials.  A subset
+     of its credentials forms the 'subjective context'.  The subjective context
+     is used as part of the security calculation that is carried out when a
+     subject acts.
+
+     A Linux task, for example, has the FSUID, FSGID and the supplementary
+     group list for when it is acting upon a file - which are quite separate
+     from the real UID and GID that normally form the objective context of the
+     task.
+
+ (6) Actions.
+
+     Linux has a number of actions available that a subject may perform upon an
+     object.  The set of actions available depends on the nature of the subject
+     and the object.
+
+     Actions include reading, writing, creating and deleting files; forking or
+     signalling and tracing tasks.
+
+ (7) Rules, access control lists and security calculations.
+
+     When a subject acts upon an object, a security calculation is made.  This
+     involves taking the subjective context, the objective context and the
+     action, and searching one or more sets of rules to see whether the subject
+     is granted or denied permission to act in the desired manner on the
+     object, given those contexts.
+
+     There are two main sources of rules:
+
+     (a) Discretionary access control (DAC):
+
+         Sometimes the object will include sets of rules as part of its
+         description.  This is an 'Access Control List' or 'ACL'.  A Linux
+         file may supply more than one ACL.
+
+         A traditional UNIX file, for example, includes a permissions mask that
+         is an abbreviated ACL with three fixed classes of subject ('user',
+         'group' and 'other'), each of which may be granted certain privileges
+         ('read', 'write' and 'execute' - whatever those map to for the object
+         in question).  UNIX file permissions do not allow the arbitrary
+         specification of subjects, however, and so are of limited use.
+
+         A Linux file might also sport a POSIX ACL.  This is a list of rules
+         that grants various permissions to arbitrary subjects.
+
+     (b) Mandatory access control (MAC):
+
+         The system as a whole may have one or more sets of rules that get
+         applied to all subjects and objects, regardless of their source.
+         SELinux and Smack are examples of this.
+
+         In the case of SELinux and Smack, each object is given a label as part
+         of its credentials.  When an action is requested, they take the
+         subject label, the object label and the action and look for a rule
+         that says that this action is either granted or denied.
+
+
+====================
+TYPES OF CREDENTIALS
+====================
+
+The Linux kernel supports the following types of credentials:
+
+ (1) Traditional UNIX credentials.
+
+        Real User ID
+        Real Group ID
+
+     The UID and GID are carried by most, if not all, Linux objects, even if in
+     some cases it has to be invented (FAT or CIFS files for example, which are
+     derived from Windows).  These (mostly) define the objective context of
+     that object, with tasks being slightly different in some cases.
+
+        Effective, Saved and FS User ID
+        Effective, Saved and FS Group ID
+        Supplementary groups
+
+     These are additional credentials used by tasks only.  Usually, an
+     EUID/EGID/GROUPS will be used as the subjective context, and real UID/GID
+     will be used as the objective.  For tasks, it should be noted that this is
+     not always true.
+
+ (2) Capabilities.
+
+        Set of permitted capabilities
+        Set of inheritable capabilities
+        Set of effective capabilities
+        Capability bounding set
+
+     These are only carried by tasks.  They indicate superior capabilities
+     granted piecemeal to a task that an ordinary task wouldn't otherwise have.
+     These are manipulated implicitly by changes to the traditional UNIX
+     credentials, but can also be manipulated directly by the capset() system
+     call.
+
+     The permitted capabilities are those caps that the process might grant
+     itself to its effective or permitted sets through capset().  This
+     inheritable set might also be so constrained.
+
+     The effective capabilities are the ones that a task is actually allowed to
+     make use of itself.
+
+     The inheritable capabilities are the ones that may get passed across
+     execve().
+
+     The bounding set limits the capabilities that may be inherited across
+     execve(), especially when a binary is executed that will execute as UID 0.
+
+ (3) Secure management flags (securebits).
+
+     These are only carried by tasks.  These govern the way the above
+     credentials are manipulated and inherited over certain operations such as
+     execve().  They aren't used directly as objective or subjective
+     credentials.
+
+ (4) Keys and keyrings.
+
+     These are only carried by tasks.  They carry and cache security tokens
+     that don't fit into the other standard UNIX credentials.  They are for
+     making such things as network filesystem keys available to the file
+     accesses performed by processes, without the necessity of ordinary
+     programs having to know about security details involved.
+
+     Keyrings are a special type of key.  They carry sets of other keys and can
+     be searched for the desired key.  Each process may subscribe to a number
+     of keyrings:
+
+        Per-thread keying
+        Per-process keyring
+        Per-session keyring
+
+     When a process accesses a key, if not already present, it will normally be
+     cached on one of these keyrings for future accesses to find.
+
+     For more information on using keys, see Documentation/keys.txt.
+
+ (5) LSM
+
+     The Linux Security Module allows extra controls to be placed over the
+     operations that a task may do.  Currently Linux supports two main
+     alternate LSM options: SELinux and Smack.
+
+     Both work by labelling the objects in a system and then applying sets of
+     rules (policies) that say what operations a task with one label may do to
+     an object with another label.
+
+ (6) AF_KEY
+
+     This is a socket-based approach to credential management for networking
+     stacks [RFC 2367].  It isn't discussed by this document as it doesn't
+     interact directly with task and file credentials; rather it keeps system
+     level credentials.
+
+
+When a file is opened, part of the opening task's subjective context is
+recorded in the file struct created.  This allows operations using that file
+struct to use those credentials instead of the subjective context of the task
+that issued the operation.  An example of this would be a file opened on a
+network filesystem where the credentials of the opened file should be presented
+to the server, regardless of who is actually doing a read or a write upon it.
+
+
+=============
+FILE MARKINGS
+=============
+
+Files on disk or obtained over the network may have annotations that form the
+objective security context of that file.  Depending on the type of filesystem,
+this may include one or more of the following:
+
+ (*) UNIX UID, GID, mode;
+
+ (*) Windows user ID;
+
+ (*) Access control list;
+
+ (*) LSM security label;
+
+ (*) UNIX exec privilege escalation bits (SUID/SGID);
+
+ (*) File capabilities exec privilege escalation bits.
+
+These are compared to the task's subjective security context, and certain
+operations allowed or disallowed as a result.  In the case of execve(), the
+privilege escalation bits come into play, and may allow the resulting process
+extra privileges, based on the annotations on the executable file.
+
+
+================
+TASK CREDENTIALS
+================
+
+In Linux, all of a task's credentials are held in (uid, gid) or through
+(groups, keys, LSM security) a refcounted structure of type 'struct cred'.
+Each task points to its credentials by a pointer called 'cred' in its
+task_struct.
+
+Once a set of credentials has been prepared and committed, it may not be
+changed, barring the following exceptions:
+
+ (1) its reference count may be changed;
+
+ (2) the reference count on the group_info struct it points to may be changed;
+
+ (3) the reference count on the security data it points to may be changed;
+
+ (4) the reference count on any keyrings it points to may be changed;
+
+ (5) any keyrings it points to may be revoked, expired or have their security
+     attributes changed; and
+
+ (6) the contents of any keyrings to which it points may be changed (the whole
+     point of keyrings being a shared set of credentials, modifiable by anyone
+     with appropriate access).
+
+To alter anything in the cred struct, the copy-and-replace principle must be
+adhered to.  First take a copy, then alter the copy and then use RCU to change
+the task pointer to make it point to the new copy.  There are wrappers to aid
+with this (see below).
+
+A task may only alter its _own_ credentials; it is no longer permitted for a
+task to alter another's credentials.  This means the capset() system call is no
+longer permitted to take any PID other than the one of the current process.
+Also keyctl_instantiate() and keyctl_negate() functions no longer permit
+attachment to process-specific keyrings in the requesting process as the
+instantiating process may need to create them.
+
+
+IMMUTABLE CREDENTIALS
+---------------------
+
+Once a set of credentials has been made public (by calling commit_creds() for
+example), it must be considered immutable, barring two exceptions:
+
+ (1) The reference count may be altered.
+
+ (2) Whilst the keyring subscriptions of a set of credentials may not be
+     changed, the keyrings subscribed to may have their contents altered.
+
+To catch accidental credential alteration at compile time, struct task_struct
+has _const_ pointers to its credential sets, as does struct file.  Furthermore,
+certain functions such as get_cred() and put_cred() operate on const pointers,
+thus rendering casts unnecessary, but require to temporarily ditch the const
+qualification to be able to alter the reference count.
+
+
+ACCESSING TASK CREDENTIALS
+--------------------------
+
+A task being able to alter only its own credentials permits the current process
+to read or replace its own credentials without the need for any form of locking
+- which simplifies things greatly.  It can just call:
+
+        const struct cred *current_cred()
+
+to get a pointer to its credentials structure, and it doesn't have to release
+it afterwards.
+
+There are convenience wrappers for retrieving specific aspects of a task's
+credentials (the value is simply returned in each case):
+
+        uid_t current_uid(void)         Current's real UID
+        gid_t current_gid(void)         Current's real GID
+        uid_t current_euid(void)        Current's effective UID
+        gid_t current_egid(void)        Current's effective GID
+        uid_t current_fsuid(void)       Current's file access UID
+        gid_t current_fsgid(void)       Current's file access GID
+        kernel_cap_t current_cap(void)  Current's effective capabilities
+        void *current_security(void)    Current's LSM security pointer
+        struct user_struct *current_user(void)  Current's user account
+
+There are also convenience wrappers for retrieving specific associated pairs of
+a task's credentials:

+        void current_euid_egid(uid_t *, gid_t *);
+        void current_fsuid_fsgid(uid_t *, gid_t *);
+
+which return these pairs of values through their arguments after retrieving
+them from the current task's credentials.
+
+
+In addition, there is a function for obtaining a reference on the current
+process's current set of credentials:
+
+        const struct cred *get_current_cred(void);
+
+and functions for getting references to one of the credentials that don't
+actually live in struct cred:
+
+        struct user_struct *get_current_user(void);
+        struct group_info *get_current_groups(void);
+
+which get references to the current process's user accounting structure and
+supplementary groups list respectively.
+
+Once a reference has been obtained, it must be released with put_cred(),
+free_uid() or put_group_info() as appropriate.
+
+
+ACCESSING ANOTHER TASK'S CREDENTIALS
+------------------------------------
+
+Whilst a task may access its own credentials without the need for locking, the
+same is not true of a task wanting to access another task's credentials.  It
+must use the RCU read lock and rcu_dereference().
+
+The rcu_dereference() is wrapped by:
+
+        const struct cred *__task_cred(struct task_struct *task);
+
+This should be used inside the RCU read lock, as in the following example:
+
+        void foo(struct task_struct *t, struct foo_data *f)
+        {
+                const struct cred *tcred;
+                ...
+                rcu_read_lock();
+                tcred = __task_cred(t);
+                f->uid = tcred->uid;
+                f->gid = tcred->gid;
+                f->groups = get_group_info(tcred->groups);
+                rcu_read_unlock();
+                ...
+        }
+
+A function need not get RCU read lock to use __task_cred() if it is holding a
+spinlock at the time as this implicitly holds the RCU read lock.
+
+Should it be necessary to hold another task's credentials for a long period of
+time, and possibly to sleep whilst doing so, then the caller should get a
+reference on them using:
+
+        const struct cred *get_task_cred(struct task_struct *task);
+
+This does all the RCU magic inside of it.  The caller must call put_cred() on
+the credentials so obtained when they're finished with.
+
+There are a couple of convenience functions to access bits of another task's
+credentials, hiding the RCU magic from the caller:
+
+        uid_t task_uid(task)            Task's real UID
+        uid_t task_euid(task)           Task's effective UID
+
+If the caller is holding a spinlock or the RCU read lock at the time anyway,
+then:
+
+        __task_cred(task)->uid
+        __task_cred(task)->euid
+
+should be used instead.  Similarly, if multiple aspects of a task's credentials
+need to be accessed, RCU read lock or a spinlock should be used, __task_cred()
+called, the result stored in a temporary pointer and then the credential
+aspects called from that before dropping the lock.  This prevents the
+potentially expensive RCU magic from being invoked multiple times.
+
+Should some other single aspect of another task's credentials need to be
+accessed, then this can be used:
+
+        task_cred_xxx(task, member)
+
+where 'member' is a non-pointer member of the cred struct.  For instance:
+
+        uid_t task_cred_xxx(task, suid);
+
+will retrieve 'struct cred::suid' from the task, doing the appropriate RCU
+magic.  This may not be used for pointer members as what they point to may
+disappear the moment the RCU read lock is dropped.
+
+
+ALTERING CREDENTIALS
+--------------------
+
+As previously mentioned, a task may only alter its own credentials, and may not
+alter those of another task.  This means that it doesn't need to use any
+locking to alter its own credentials.
+
+To alter the current process's credentials, a function should first prepare a
+new set of credentials by calling:
+
+        struct cred *prepare_creds(void);
+
+this locks current->cred_replace_mutex and then allocates and constructs a
+duplicate of the current process's credentials, returning with the mutex still
+held if successful.  It returns NULL if not successful (out of memory).
+
+The mutex prevents ptrace() from altering the ptrace state of a process whilst
+security checks on credentials construction and changing is taking place as
+the ptrace state may alter the outcome, particularly in the case of execve().
+
+The new credentials set should be altered appropriately, and any security
+checks and hooks done.  Both the current and the proposed sets of credentials
+are available for this purpose as current_cred() will return the current set
+still at this point.
+
+
+When the credential set is ready, it should be committed to the current process
+by calling:
+
+        int commit_creds(struct cred *new);
+
+This will alter various aspects of the credentials and the process, giving the
+LSM a chance to do likewise, then it will use rcu_assign_pointer() to actually
+commit the new credentials to current->cred, it will release
+current->cred_replace_mutex to allow ptrace() to take place, and it will notify
+the scheduler and others of the changes.
+
+This function is guaranteed to return 0, so that it can be tail-called at the
+end of such functions as sys_setresuid().
+
+Note that this function consumes the caller's reference to the new credentials.
+The caller should _not_ call put_cred() on the new credentials afterwards.
+
+Furthermore, once this function has been called on a new set of credentials,
+those credentials may _not_ be changed further.
+
+
+Should the security checks fail or some other error occur after prepare_creds()
+has been called, then the following function should be invoked:
+
+        void abort_creds(struct cred *new);
+
+This releases the lock on current->cred_replace_mutex that prepare_creds() got
+and then releases the new credentials.
+
+
+A typical credentials alteration function would look something like this:
+
+        int alter_suid(uid_t suid)
+        {
+                struct cred *new;
+                int ret;
+
+                new = prepare_creds();
+                if (!new)
+                        return -ENOMEM;
+
+                new->suid = suid;
+                ret = security_alter_suid(new);
+                if (ret < 0) {
+                        abort_creds(new);
+                        return ret;
+                }
+
+                return commit_creds(new);
+        }
+
+
+MANAGING CREDENTIALS
+--------------------
+
+There are some functions to help manage credentials:
+
+ (*) void put_cred(const struct cred *cred);
+
+     This releases a reference to the given set of credentials.  If the
+     reference count reaches zero, the credentials will be scheduled for
+     destruction by the RCU system.
+
+ (*) const struct cred *get_cred(const struct cred *cred);
+
+     This gets a reference on a live set of credentials, returning a pointer to
+     that set of credentials.
+
+ (*) struct cred *get_new_cred(struct cred *cred);
+
+     This gets a reference on a set of credentials that is under construction
+     and is thus still mutable, returning a pointer to that set of credentials.
+
+
+=====================
+OPEN FILE CREDENTIALS
+=====================
+
+When a new file is opened, a reference is obtained on the opening task's
+credentials and this is attached to the file struct as 'f_cred' in place of
+'f_uid' and 'f_gid'.  Code that used to access file->f_uid and file->f_gid
+should now access file->f_cred->fsuid and file->f_cred->fsgid.
+
+It is safe to access f_cred without the use of RCU or locking because the
+pointer will not change over the lifetime of the file struct, and nor will the
+contents of the cred struct pointed to, barring the exceptions listed above
+(see the Task Credentials section).
+
+
+=======================================
+OVERRIDING THE VFS'S USE OF CREDENTIALS
+=======================================
+
+Under some circumstances it is desirable to override the credentials used by
+the VFS, and that can be done by calling into such as vfs_mkdir() with a
+different set of credentials.  This is done in the following places:
+
+ (*) sys_faccessat().
+
+ (*) do_coredump().
+
+ (*) nfs4recover.c.

+Overlay Support for PXA27x and later LCD controllers
+====================================================
+
+  PXA27x and later processors support overlay1 and overlay2 on-top of the
+  base framebuffer (although under-neath the base is also possible). They
+  support palette and no-palette RGB formats, as well as YUV formats (only
+  available on overlay2). These overlays have dedicated DMA channels and
+  behave in a similar way as a framebuffer.
+
+  However, there are some differences between these overlay framebuffers
+  and normal framebuffers, as listed below:
+
+  1. overlay can start at a 32-bit word aligned position within the base
+     framebuffer, which means they have a start (x, y). This information
+     is encoded into var->nonstd (no, var->xoffset and var->yoffset are
+     not for such purpose).
+
+  2. overlay framebuffer is allocated dynamically according to specified
+     'struct fb_var_screeninfo', the amount is decided by:
+
+        var->xres_virtual * var->yres_virtual * bpp
+
+     bpp = 16 -- for RGB565 or RGBT555
+         = 24 -- for YUV444 packed
+         = 24 -- for YUV444 planar
+         = 16 -- for YUV422 planar (1 pixel = 1 Y + 1/2 Cb + 1/2 Cr)
+         = 12 -- for YUV420 planar (1 pixel = 1 Y + 1/4 Cb + 1/4 Cr)
+
+     NOTE:
+
+     a. overlay does not support panning in x-direction, thus
+        var->xres_virtual will always be equal to var->xres
+
+     b. line length of overlay(s) must be on a 32-bit word boundary,
+        for YUV planar modes, it is a requirement for the component
+        with minimum bits per pixel,  e.g. for YUV420, Cr component
+        for one pixel is actually 2-bits, it means the line length
+        should be a multiple of 16-pixels
+
+     c. starting horizontal position (XPOS) should start on a 32-bit
+        word boundary, otherwise the fb_check_var() will just fail.
+
+     d. the rectangle of the overlay should be within the base plane,
+        otherwise fail
+
+     Applications should follow the sequence below to operate an overlay
+     framebuffer:
+
+         a. open("/dev/fb[1-2]", ...)
+         b. ioctl(fd, FBIOGET_VSCREENINFO, ...)
+         c. modify 'var' with desired parameters:
+            1) var->xres and var->yres
+            2) larger var->yres_virtual if more memory is required,
+               usually for double-buffering
+            3) var->nonstd for starting (x, y) and color format
+            4) var->{red, green, blue, transp} if RGB mode is to be used
+         d. ioctl(fd, FBIOPUT_VSCREENINFO, ...)
+         e. ioctl(fd, FBIOGET_FSCREENINFO, ...)
+         f. mmap
+         g. ...
+
+  3. for YUV planar formats, these are actually not supported within the
+     framebuffer framework, application has to take care of the offsets
+     and lengths of each component within the framebuffer.
+
+  4. var->nonstd is used to pass starting (x, y) position and color format,
+     the detailed bit fields are shown below:

+8. Implementation note: user namespaces
+
+User namespaces are intended to be hierarchical.  But they are currently
+only partially implemented.  Each of those has ramifications for CFS.
+
+First, since user namespaces are hierarchical, the /sys/kernel/uids
+presentation is inadequate.  Eventually we will likely want to use sysfs
+tagging to provide private views of /sys/kernel/uids within each user
+namespace.
+
+Second, the hierarchical nature is intended to support completely
+unprivileged use of user namespaces.  So if using user groups, then
+we want the users in a user namespace to be children of the user
+who created it.
+
+That is currently unimplemented.  So instead, every user in a new
+user namespace will receive 1024 shares just like any user in the
+initial user namespace.  Note that at the moment creation of a new
+user namespace requires each of CAP_SYS_ADMIN, CAP_SETUID, and
+CAP_SETGID.

+Chelsio S3 iSCSI Driver for Linux
+
+Introduction
+============
+
+The Chelsio T3 ASIC based Adapters (S310, S320, S302, S304, Mezz cards, etc.
+series of products) supports iSCSI acceleration and iSCSI Direct Data Placement
+(DDP) where the hardware handles the expensive byte touching operations, such
+as CRC computation and verification, and direct DMA to the final host memory
+destination:
+
+        - iSCSI PDU digest generation and verification
+
+          On transmitting, Chelsio S3 h/w computes and inserts the Header and
+          Data digest into the PDUs.
+          On receiving, Chelsio S3 h/w computes and verifies the Header and
+          Data digest of the PDUs.
+
+        - Direct Data Placement (DDP)
+
+          S3 h/w can directly place the iSCSI Data-In or Data-Out PDU's
+          payload into pre-posted final destination host-memory buffers based
+          on the Initiator Task Tag (ITT) in Data-In or Target Task Tag (TTT)
+          in Data-Out PDUs.
+
+        - PDU Transmit and Recovery
+
+          On transmitting, S3 h/w accepts the complete PDU (header + data)
+          from the host driver, computes and inserts the digests, decomposes
+          the PDU into multiple TCP segments if necessary, and transmit all
+          the TCP segments onto the wire. It handles TCP retransmission if
+          needed.
+
+          On receving, S3 h/w recovers the iSCSI PDU by reassembling TCP
+          segments, separating the header and data, calculating and verifying
+          the digests, then forwards the header to the host. The payload data,
+          if possible, will be directly placed into the pre-posted host DDP
+          buffer. Otherwise, the payload data will be sent to the host too.
+
+The cxgb3i driver interfaces with open-iscsi initiator and provides the iSCSI
+acceleration through Chelsio hardware wherever applicable.
+
+Using the cxgb3i Driver
+=======================
+
+The following steps need to be taken to accelerates the open-iscsi initiator:
+
+1. Load the cxgb3i driver: "modprobe cxgb3i"
+
+   The cxgb3i module registers a new transport class "cxgb3i" with open-iscsi.
+
+   * in the case of recompiling the kernel, the cxgb3i selection is located at
+        Device Drivers
+                SCSI device support --->
+                        [*] SCSI low-level drivers  --->
+                                <M>   Chelsio S3xx iSCSI support
+
+2. Create an interface file located under /etc/iscsi/ifaces/ for the new
+   transport class "cxgb3i".
+
+   The content of the file should be in the following format:
+        iface.transport_name = cxgb3i
+        iface.net_ifacename = <ethX>
+        iface.ipaddress = <iscsi ip address>
+
+   * if iface.ipaddress is specified, <iscsi ip address> needs to be either the
+        same as the ethX's ip address or an address on the same subnet. Make
+        sure the ip address is unique in the network.
+
+3. edit /etc/iscsi/iscsid.conf
+   The default setting for MaxRecvDataSegmentLength (131072) is too big,
+   replace "node.conn[0].iscsi.MaxRecvDataSegmentLength" to be a value no
+   bigger than 15360 (for example 8192):
+
+        node.conn[0].iscsi.MaxRecvDataSegmentLength = 8192
+
+   * The login would fail for a normal session if MaxRecvDataSegmentLength is
+        too big.  A error message in the format of
+        "cxgb3i: ERR! MaxRecvSegmentLength <X> too big. Need to be <= <Y>."
+        would be logged to dmesg.
+
+4. To direct open-iscsi traffic to go through cxgb3i's accelerated path,
+   "-I <iface file name>" option needs to be specified with most of the
+   iscsiadm command. <iface file name> is the transport interface file created
+   in step 2.

-
-This file describes the configuration and behavior of KGDB for the SH
-kernel. Based on a description from Henry Bell <henry.bell@st.com>, it
-has been modified to account for quirks in the current implementation.
-
-Version
-=======
-
-This version of KGDB was written for 2.4.xx kernels for the SH architecture.
-Further documentation is available from the linux-sh project website.
-
-
-Debugging Setup: Host
-======================
-
-The two machines will be connected together via a serial line - this
-should be a null modem cable i.e. with a twist.
-
-On your DEVELOPMENT machine, go to your kernel source directory and
-build the kernel, enabling KGDB support in the "kernel hacking" section.
-This includes the KGDB code, and also makes the kernel be compiled with
-the "-g" option set -- necessary for debugging.
-
-To install this new kernel, use the following installation procedure.
-
-Decide on which tty port you want the machines to communicate, then
-cable them up back-to-back using the null modem.  On the DEVELOPMENT
-machine, you may wish to create an initialization file called .gdbinit
-(in the kernel source directory or in your home directory) to execute 
-commonly-used commands at startup.
-
-A minimal .gdbinit might look like this:
-
-  file vmlinux
-  set remotebaud 115200
-  target remote /dev/ttyS0
-
-Change the "target" definition so that it specifies the tty port that
-you intend to use.  Change the "remotebaud" definition to match the
-data rate that you are going to use for the com line (115200 is the
-default). 
-
-Debugging Setup: Target
-========================
-
-By default, the KGDB stub will communicate with the host GDB using
-ttySC1 at 115200 baud, 8 databits, no parity; these defaults can be
-changed in the kernel configuration. As the kernel starts up, KGDB will
-initialize so that breakpoints, kernel segfaults, and so forth will
-generally enter the debugger.
-
-This behavior can be modified by including the "kgdb" option in the
-kernel command line; this option has the general form:
-
-  kgdb=<ttyspec>,<action>
-
-The <ttyspec> indicates the port to use, and can optionally specify
-baud, parity and databits -- e.g. "ttySC0,9600N8" or "ttySC1,19200".
-
-The <action> can be "halt" or "disabled".  The "halt" action enters the
-debugger via a breakpoint as soon as kgdb is initialized; the "disabled"
-action causes kgdb to ignore kernel segfaults and such until explicitly
-entered by a breakpoint in the code or by external action (sysrq or NMI). 
-
-(Both <ttyspec> and <action> can appear alone, w/o the separating comma.)
-
-For example, if you wish to debug early in kernel startup code, you
-might specify the halt option:
-
-  kgdb=halt
-
-Boot the TARGET machine, which will appear to hang. 
-
-On your DEVELOPMENT machine, cd to the source directory and run the gdb
-program.  (This is likely to be a cross GDB which runs on your host but
-is built for an SH target.) If everything is working correctly you
-should see gdb print out a few lines indicating that a breakpoint has
-been taken.  It will actually show a line of code in the target kernel
-inside the gdbstub activation code.
-
-NOTE: BE SURE TO TERMINATE OR SUSPEND any other host application which
-may be using the same serial port (for example, a terminal emulator you
-have been using to connect to the target boot code.)  Otherwise, data
-from the target may not all get to GDB!
-
-You can now use whatever gdb commands you like to set breakpoints.
-Enter "continue" to start your target machine executing again.  At this
-point the target system will run at full speed until it encounters
-your breakpoint or gets a segment violation in the kernel, or whatever.
-
-Serial Ports: KGDB, Console
-============================
-
-This version of KGDB may not gracefully handle conflict with other
-drivers in the kernel using the same port. If KGDB is configured on the
-same port (and with the same parameters) as the kernel console, or if
-CONFIG_SH_KGDB_CONSOLE is configured, things should be fine (though in
-some cases console messages may appear twice through GDB).  But if the
-KGDB port is not the kernel console and used by another serial driver
-which assumes different serial parameters (e.g. baud rate) KGDB may not
-recover.
-
-Also, when KGDB is entered via sysrq-g (requires CONFIG_KGDB_SYSRQ) and
-the kgdb port uses the same port as the console, detaching GDB will not
-restore the console to working order without the port being re-opened.
-
-Another serious consequence of this is that GDB currently CANNOT break
-into KGDB externally (e.g. via ^C or <BREAK>); unless a breakpoint or
-error is encountered, the only way to enter KGDB after the initial halt
-(see above) is via NMI (CONFIG_KGDB_NMI) or sysrq-g (CONFIG_KGDB_SYSRQ).
-
-Code is included for the basic Hitachi Solution Engine boards to allow
-the use of ttyS0 for KGDB if desired; this is less robust, but may be
-useful in some cases.  (This cannot be selected using the config file, 
-but only through the kernel command line, e.g. "kgdb=ttyS0", though the
-configured defaults for baud rate etc. still apply if not overridden.)
-
-If gdbstub Does Not Work
-========================
-
-If it doesn't work, you will have to troubleshoot it.  Do the easy
-things first like double checking your cabling and data rates.  You
-might try some non-kernel based programs to see if the back-to-back
-connection works properly.  Just something simple like cat /etc/hosts
-/dev/ttyS0 on one machine and cat /dev/ttyS0 on the other will tell you
-if you can send data from one machine to the other.  There is no point
-in tearing out your hair in the kernel if the line doesn't work.
-
-If you need to debug the GDB/KGDB communication itself, the gdb commands
-"set debug remote 1" and "set debug serial 1" may be useful, but be
-warned: they produce a lot of output.
-
-Threads
-=======
-
-Each process in a target machine is seen as a gdb thread. gdb thread related
-commands (info threads, thread n) can be used. CONFIG_KGDB_THREAD must
-be defined for this to work.
-
-In this version, kgdb reports PID_MAX (32768) as the process ID for the
-idle process (pid 0), since GDB does not accept 0 as an ID.
-
-Detaching (exiting KGDB)
-=========================
-
-There are two ways to resume full-speed target execution: "continue" and
-"detach". With "continue", GDB inserts any specified breakpoints in the
-target code and resumes execution; the target is still in "gdb mode".
-If a breakpoint or other debug event (e.g. NMI) happens, the target
-halts and communicates with GDB again, which is waiting for it.
-
-With "detach", GDB does *not* insert any breakpoints; target execution
-is resumed and GDB stops communicating (does not wait for the target).
-In this case, the target is no longer in "gdb mode" -- for example,
-console messages no longer get sent separately to the KGDB port, or
-encapsulated for GDB.  If a debug event (e.g. NMI) occurs, the target
-will re-enter "gdb mode" and will display this fact on the console; you
-must give a new "target remote" command to gdb.
-
-NOTE: TO AVOID LOSSING CONSOLE MESSAGES IN CASE THE KERNEL CONSOLE AND
-KGDB USING THE SAME PORT, THE TARGET WAITS FOR ANY INPUT CHARACTER ON
-THE KGDB PORT AFTER A DETACH COMMAND.  For example, after the detach you
-could start a terminal emulator on the same host port and enter a <cr>;
-however, this program must then be terminated or suspended in order to
-use GBD again if KGDB is re-entered.

+MORE NOTES ON HD-AUDIO DRIVER
+=============================
+                                        Takashi Iwai <tiwai@suse.de>
+
+
+GENERAL
+-------
+
+HD-audio is the new standard on-board audio component on modern PCs
+after AC97.  Although Linux has been supporting HD-audio since long
+time ago, there are often problems with new machines.  A part of the
+problem is broken BIOS, and the rest is the driver implementation.
+This document explains the brief trouble-shooting and debugging
+methods for the HD-audio hardware.
+
+The HD-audio component consists of two parts: the controller chip and 
+the codec chips on the HD-audio bus.  Linux provides a single driver
+for all controllers, snd-hda-intel.  Although the driver name contains
+a word of a well-known harware vendor, it's not specific to it but for
+all controller chips by other companies.  Since the HD-audio
+controllers are supposed to be compatible, the single snd-hda-driver
+should work in most cases.  But, not surprisingly, there are known
+bugs and issues specific to each controller type.  The snd-hda-intel
+driver has a bunch of workarounds for these as described below.
+
+A controller may have multiple codecs.  Usually you have one audio
+codec and optionally one modem codec.  In theory, there might be
+multiple audio codecs, e.g. for analog and digital outputs, and the
+driver might not work properly because of conflict of mixer elements.
+This should be fixed in future if such hardware really exists.
+
+The snd-hda-intel driver has several different codec parsers depending
+on the codec.  It has a generic parser as a fallback, but this
+functionality is fairly limited until now.  Instead of the generic
+parser, usually the codec-specific parser (coded in patch_*.c) is used
+for the codec-specific implementations.  The details about the
+codec-specific problems are explained in the later sections.
+
+If you are interested in the deep debugging of HD-audio, read the
+HD-audio specification at first.  The specification is found on
+Intel's web page, for example:
+
+- http://www.intel.com/standards/hdaudio/
+
+
+HD-AUDIO CONTROLLER
+-------------------
+
+DMA-Position Problem
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+The most common problem of the controller is the inaccurate DMA
+pointer reporting.  The DMA pointer for playback and capture can be
+read in two ways, either via a LPIB register or via a position-buffer
+map.  As default the driver tries to read from the io-mapped
+position-buffer, and falls back to LPIB if the position-buffer appears
+dead.  However, this detection isn't perfect on some devices.  In such
+a case, you can change the default method via `position_fix` option.
+
+`position_fix=1` means to use LPIB method explicitly.
+`position_fix=2` means to use the position-buffer.  0 is the default
+value, the automatic check and fallback to LPIB as described in the
+above.  If you get a problem of repeated sounds, this option might
+help.
+
+In addition to that, every controller is known to be broken regarding
+the wake-up timing.  It wakes up a few samples before actually
+processing the data on the buffer.  This caused a lot of problems, for
+example, with ALSA dmix or JACK.  Since 2.6.27 kernel, the driver puts
+an artificial delay to the wake up timing.  This delay is controlled
+via `bdl_pos_adj` option. 
+
+When `bdl_pos_adj` is a negative value (as default), it's assigned to
+an appropriate value depending on the controller chip.  For Intel
+chips, it'd be 1 while it'd be 32 for others.  Usually this works.
+Only in case it doesn't work and you get warning messages, you should
+change this parameter to other values.
+
+
+Codec-Probing Problem
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+A less often but a more severe problem is the codec probing.  When
+BIOS reports the available codec slots wrongly, the driver gets
+confused and tries to access the non-existing codec slot.  This often
+results in the total screw-up, and destructs the further communication
+with the codec chips.  The symptom appears usually as error messages
+like:
+------------------------------------------------------------------------
+  hda_intel: azx_get_response timeout, switching to polling mode:
+        last cmd=0x12345678
+  hda_intel: azx_get_response timeout, switching to single_cmd mode:
+        last cmd=0x12345678
+------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+The first line is a warning, and this is usually relatively harmless.
+It means that the codec response isn't notified via an IRQ.  The
+driver uses explicit polling method to read the response.  It gives
+very slight CPU overhead, but you'd unlikely notice it.
+
+The second line is, however, a fatal error.  If this happens, usually
+it means that something is really wrong.  Most likely you are
+accessing a non-existing codec slot.
+
+Thus, if the second error message appears, try to narrow the probed
+codec slots via `probe_mask` option.  It's a bitmask, and each bit
+corresponds to the codec slot.  For example, to probe only the first
+slot, pass `probe_mask=1`.  For the first and the third slots, pass
+`probe_mask=5` (where 5 = 1 | 4), and so on.
+
+Since 2.6.29 kernel, the driver has a more robust probing method, so
+this error might happen rarely, though.
+
+
+Interrupt Handling
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+In rare but some cases, the interrupt isn't properly handled as
+default.  You would notice this by the DMA transfer error reported by
+ALSA PCM core, for example.  Using MSI might help in such a case.
+Pass `enable_msi=1` option for enabling MSI.
+
+
+HD-AUDIO CODEC
+--------------
+
+Model Option
+~~~~~~~~~~~~
+The most common problem regarding the HD-audio driver is the
+unsupported codec features or the mismatched device configuration.
+Most of codec-specific code has several preset models, either to
+override the BIOS setup or to provide more comprehensive features.
+
+The driver checks PCI SSID and looks through the static configuration
+table until any matching entry is found.  If you have a new machine,
+you may see a message like below:
+------------------------------------------------------------------------
+    hda_codec: Unknown model for ALC880, trying auto-probe from BIOS...
+------------------------------------------------------------------------
+Even if you see such a message, DON'T PANIC.  Take a deep breath and
+keep your towel.  First of all, it's an informational message, no
+warning, no error.  This means that the PCI SSID of your device isn't
+listed in the known preset model (white-)list.  But, this doesn't mean
+that the driver is broken.  Many codec-drivers provide the automatic
+configuration mechanism based on the BIOS setup.
+
+The HD-audio codec has usually "pin" widgets, and BIOS sets the default
+configuration of each pin, which indicates the location, the
+connection type, the jack color, etc.  The HD-audio driver can guess
+the right connection judging from these default configuration values.
+However -- some codec-support codes, such as patch_analog.c, don't
+support the automatic probing (yet as of 2.6.28).  And, BIOS is often,
+yes, pretty often broken.  It sets up wrong values and screws up the
+driver.
+
+The preset model is provided basically to overcome such a situation.
+When the matching preset model is found in the white-list, the driver
+assumes the static configuration of that preset and builds the mixer
+elements and PCM streams based on the static information.  Thus, if
+you have a newer machine with a slightly different PCI SSID from the
+existing one, you may have a good chance to re-use the same model.
+You can pass the `model` option to specify the preset model instead of
+PCI SSID look-up.
+
+What `model` option values are available depends on the codec chip.
+Check your codec chip from the codec proc file (see "Codec Proc-File"
+section below).  It will show the vendor/product name of your codec
+chip.  Then, see Documentation/sound/alsa/HD-Audio-Modelstxt file,
+the section of HD-audio driver.  You can find a list of codecs
+and `model` options belonging to each codec.  For example, for Realtek
+ALC262 codec chip, pass `model=ultra` for devices that are compatible
+with Samsung Q1 Ultra.
+
+Thus, the first thing you can do for any brand-new, unsupported and
+non-working HD-audio hardware is to check HD-audio codec and several
+different `model` option values.  If you have a luck, some of them
+might suit with your device well.
+
+Some codecs such as ALC880 have a special model option `model=test`.
+This configures the driver to provide as many mixer controls as
+possible for every single pin feature except for the unsolicited
+events (and maybe some other specials).  Adjust each mixer element and
+try the I/O in the way of trial-and-error until figuring out the whole
+I/O pin mappings.
+
+Note that `model=generic` has a special meaning.  It means to use the
+generic parser regardless of the codec.  Usually the codec-specific
+parser is much better than the generic parser (as now).  Thus this
+option is more about the debugging purpose.
+
+
+Speaker and Headphone Output
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+One of the most frequent (and obvious) bugs with HD-audio is the
+silent output from either or both of a built-in speaker and a
+headphone jack.  In general, you should try a headphone output at
+first.  A speaker output often requires more additional controls like
+the external amplifier bits.  Thus a headphone output has a slightly
+better chance.
+
+Before making a bug report, double-check whether the mixer is set up
+correctly.  The recent version of snd-hda-intel driver provides mostly
+"Master" volume control as well as "Front" volume (where Front
+indicates the front-channels).  In addition, there can be individual
+"Headphone" and "Speaker" controls.
+
+Ditto for the speaker output.  There can be "External Amplifier"
+switch on some codecs.  Turn on this if present.
+
+Another related problem is the automatic mute of speaker output by
+headphone plugging.  This feature is implemented in most cases, but
+not on every preset model or codec-support code.
+
+In anyway, try a different model option if you have such a problem.
+Some other models may match better and give you more matching
+functionality.  If none of the available models works, send a bug
+report.  See the bug report section for details.
+
+If you are masochistic enough to debug the driver problem, note the
+following:
+
+- The speaker (and the headphone, too) output often requires the
+  external amplifier.  This can be set usually via EAPD verb or a
+  certain GPIO.  If the codec pin supports EAPD, you have a better
+  chance via SET_EAPD_BTL verb (0x70c).  On others, GPIO pin (mostly
+  it's either GPIO0 or GPIO1) may turn on/off EAPD.
+- Some Realtek codecs require special vendor-specific coefficients to
+  turn on the amplifier.  See patch_realtek.c.
+- IDT codecs may have extra power-enable/disable controls on each
+  analog pin.  See patch_sigmatel.c.
+- Very rare but some devices don't accept the pin-detection verb until
+  triggered.  Issuing GET_PIN_SENSE verb (0xf09) may result in the
+  codec-communication stall.  Some examples are found in
+  patch_realtek.c.
+
+
+Capture Problems
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+The capture problems are often because of missing setups of mixers.
+Thus, before submitting a bug report, make sure that you set up the
+mixer correctly.  For example, both "Capture Volume" and "Capture
+Switch" have to be set properly in addition to the right "Capture
+Source" or "Input Source" selection.  Some devices have "Mic Boost"
+volume or switch.
+
+When the PCM device is opened via "default" PCM (without pulse-audio
+plugin), you'll likely have "Digital Capture Volume" control as well.
+This is provided for the extra gain/attenuation of the signal in
+software, especially for the inputs without the hardware volume
+control such as digital microphones.  Unless really needed, this
+should be set to exactly 50%, corresponding to 0dB -- neither extra
+gain nor attenuation.  When you use "hw" PCM, i.e., a raw access PCM,
+this control will have no influence, though.
+
+It's known that some codecs / devices have fairly bad analog circuits,
+and the recorded sound contains a certain DC-offset.  This is no bug
+of the driver.
+
+Most of modern laptops have no analog CD-input connection.  Thus, the
+recording from CD input won't work in many cases although the driver
+provides it as the capture source.  Use CDDA instead.
+
+The automatic switching of the built-in and external mic per plugging
+is implemented on some codec models but not on every model.  Partly
+because of my laziness but mostly lack of testers.  Feel free to
+submit the improvement patch to the author.
+
+
+Direct Debugging
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+If no model option gives you a better result, and you are a tough guy
+to fight against evil, try debugging via hitting the raw HD-audio
+codec verbs to the device.  Some tools are available: hda-emu and
+hda-analyzer.  The detailed description is found in the sections
+below.  You'd need to enable hwdep for using these tools.  See "Kernel
+Configuration" section.
+
+
+OTHER ISSUES
+------------
+
+Kernel Configuration
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+In general, I recommend you to enable the sound debug option,
+`CONFIG_SND_DEBUG=y`, no matter whether you are debugging or not.
+This enables snd_printd() macro and others, and you'll get additional
+kernel messages at probing.
+
+In addition, you can enable `CONFIG_SND_DEBUG_VERBOSE=y`.  But this
+will give you far more messages.  Thus turn this on only when you are
+sure to want it.
+
+Don't forget to turn on the appropriate `CONFIG_SND_HDA_CODEC_*`
+options.  Note that each of them corresponds to the codec chip, not
+the controller chip.  Thus, even if lspci shows the Nvidia controller,
+you may need to choose the option for other vendors.  If you are
+unsure, just select all yes.
+
+`CONFIG_SND_HDA_HWDEP` is a useful option for debugging the driver.
+When this is enabled, the driver creates hardware-dependent devices
+(one per each codec), and you have a raw access to the device via
+these device files.  For example, `hwC0D2` will be created for the
+codec slot #2 of the first card (#0).  For debug-tools such as
+hda-verb and hda-analyzer, the hwdep device has to be enabled.
+Thus, it'd be better to turn this on always.
+
+`CONFIG_SND_HDA_RECONFIG` is a new option, and this depends on the
+hwdep option above.  When enabled, you'll have some sysfs files under
+the corresponding hwdep directory.  See "HD-audio reconfiguration"
+section below.
+
+`CONFIG_SND_HDA_POWER_SAVE` option enables the power-saving feature.
+See "Power-saving" section below.
+
+
+Codec Proc-File
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+The codec proc-file is a treasure-chest for debugging HD-audio.
+It shows most of useful information of each codec widget.
+
+The proc file is located in /proc/asound/card*/codec#*, one file per
+each codec slot.  You can know the codec vendor, product id and
+names, the type of each widget, capabilities and so on.
+This file, however, doesn't show the jack sensing state, so far.  This
+is because the jack-sensing might be depending on the trigger state.
+
+This file will be picked up by the debug tools, and also it can be fed
+to the emulator as the primary codec information.  See the debug tools
+section below.
+
+This proc file can be also used to check whether the generic parser is
+used.  When the generic parser is used, the vendor/product ID name
+will appear as "Realtek ID 0262", instead of "Realtek ALC262".
+
+
+HD-Audio Reconfiguration
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+This is an experimental feature to allow you re-configure the HD-audio
+codec dynamically without reloading the driver.  The following sysfs
+files are available under each codec-hwdep device directory (e.g. 
+/sys/class/sound/hwC0D0):
+
+vendor_id::
+  Shows the 32bit codec vendor-id hex number.  You can change the
+  vendor-id value by writing to this file.
+subsystem_id::
+  Shows the 32bit codec subsystem-id hex number.  You can change the
+  subsystem-id value by writing to this file.
+revision_id::
+  Shows the 32bit codec revision-id hex number.  You can change the
+  revision-id value by writing to this file.
+afg::
+  Shows the AFG ID.  This is read-only.
+mfg::
+  Shows the MFG ID.  This is read-only.
+name::
+  Shows the codec name string.  Can be changed by writing to this
+  file.
+modelname::
+  Shows the currently set `model` option.  Can be changed by writing
+  to this file.
+init_verbs::
+  The extra verbs to execute at initialization.  You can add a verb by
+  writing to this file.  Pass tree numbers, nid, verb and parameter.
+hints::
+  Shows hint strings for codec parsers for any use.  Right now it's
+  not used.
+reconfig::
+  Triggers the codec re-configuration.  When any value is written to
+  this file, the driver re-initialize and parses the codec tree
+  again.  All the changes done by the sysfs entries above are taken
+  into account.
+clear::
+  Resets the codec, removes the mixer elements and PCM stuff of the
+  specified codec, and clear all init verbs and hints.
+

+The power-saving is a kind of auto-suspend of the device.  When the
+device is inactive for a certain time, the device is automatically
+turned off to save the power.  The time to go down is specified via
+`power_save` module option, and this option can be changed dynamically
+via sysfs.
+
+The power-saving won't work when the analog loopback is enabled on
+some codecs.  Make sure that you mute all unneeded signal routes when
+you want the power-saving.
+
+The power-saving feature might cause audible click noises at each
+power-down/up depending on the device.  Some of them might be
+solvable, but some are hard, I'm afraid.  Some distros such as
+openSUSE enables the power-saving feature automatically when the power
+cable is unplugged.  Thus, if you hear noises, suspect first the
+power-saving.  See /sys/module/snd_hda_intel/parameters/power_save to
+check the current value.  If it's non-zero, the feature is turned on.
+
+
+Development Tree
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+The latest development codes for HD-audio are found on sound git tree:
+
+- git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tiwai/sound-2.6.git
+
+The master branch or for-next branches can be used as the main
+development branches in general while the HD-audio specific patches
+are committed in topic/hda branch.
+
+If you are using the latest Linus tree, it'd be better to pull the
+above GIT tree onto it.  If you are using the older kernels, an easy
+way to try the latest ALSA code is to build from the snapshot
+tarball.  There are daily tarballs and the latest snapshot tarball.
+All can be built just like normal alsa-driver release packages, that
+is, installed via the usual spells: configure, make and make
+install(-modules).  See INSTALL in the package.  The snapshot tarballs
+are found at:
+
+- ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/tiwai/snapshot/
+
+
+Sending a Bug Report
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+If any model or module options don't work for your device, it's time
+to send a bug report to the developers.  Give the following in your
+bug report:
+
+- Hardware vendor, product and model names
+- Kernel version (and ALSA-driver version if you built externally)
+- `alsa-info.sh` output; run with `--no-upload` option.  See the
+  section below about alsa-info
+
+If it's a regression, at best, send alsa-info outputs of both working
+and non-working kernels.  This is really helpful because we can
+compare the codec registers directly.
+
+Send a bug report either the followings:
+
+kernel-bugzilla::
+  http://bugme.linux-foundation.org/
+alsa-devel ML::
+  alsa-devel@alsa-project.org
+
+
+DEBUG TOOLS
+-----------
+
+This section describes some tools available for debugging HD-audio
+problems.
+
+alsa-info
+~~~~~~~~~
+The script `alsa-info.sh` is a very useful tool to gather the audio
+device information.  You can fetch the latest version from:
+
+- http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-info.sh
+
+Run this script as root, and it will gather the important information
+such as the module lists, module parameters, proc file contents
+including the codec proc files, mixer outputs and the control
+elements.  As default, it will store the information onto a web server
+on alsa-project.org.  But, if you send a bug report, it'd be better to
+run with `--no-upload` option, and attach the generated file.
+
+There are some other useful options.  See `--help` option output for
+details.
+
+
+hda-verb
+~~~~~~~~
+hda-verb is a tiny program that allows you to access the HD-audio
+codec directly.  You can execute a raw HD-audio codec verb with this.
+This program accesses the hwdep device, thus you need to enable the
+kernel config `CONFIG_SND_HDA_HWDEP=y` beforehand.
+
+The hda-verb program takes four arguments: the hwdep device file, the
+widget NID, the verb and the parameter.  When you access to the codec
+on the slot 2 of the card 0, pass /dev/snd/hwC0D2 to the first
+argument, typically.  (However, the real path name depends on the
+system.)
+
+The second parameter is the widget number-id to access.  The third
+parameter can be either a hex/digit number or a string corresponding
+to a verb.  Similarly, the last parameter is the value to write, or
+can be a string for the parameter type.
+
+------------------------------------------------------------------------
+  % hda-verb /dev/snd/hwC0D0 0x12 0x701 2
+  nid = 0x12, verb = 0x701, param = 0x2
+  value = 0x0
+
+  % hda-verb /dev/snd/hwC0D0 0x0 PARAMETERS VENDOR_ID
+  nid = 0x0, verb = 0xf00, param = 0x0
+  value = 0x10ec0262
+
+  % hda-verb /dev/snd/hwC0D0 2 set_a 0xb080
+  nid = 0x2, verb = 0x300, param = 0xb080
+  value = 0x0
+------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+Although you can issue any verbs with this program, the driver state
+won't be always updated.  For example, the volume values are usually
+cached in the driver, and thus changing the widget amp value directly
+via hda-verb won't change the mixer value.
+
+The hda-verb program is found in the ftp directory:
+
+- ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/tiwai/misc/
+
+Also a git repository is available:
+
+- git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tiwai/hda-verb.git
+
+See README file in the tarball for more details about hda-verb
+program.
+
+
+hda-analyzer
+~~~~~~~~~~~~
+hda-analyzer provides a graphical interface to access the raw HD-audio
+control, based on pyGTK2 binding.  It's a more powerful version of
+hda-verb.  The program gives you an easy-to-use GUI stuff for showing
+the widget information and adjusting the amp values, as well as the
+proc-compatible output.
+
+The hda-analyzer is a part of alsa.git repository in
+alsa-project.org:
+
+- http://git.alsa-project.org/?p=alsa.git;a=tree;f=hda-analyzer
+
+
+Codecgraph
+~~~~~~~~~~
+Codecgraph is a utility program to generate a graph and visualizes the
+codec-node connection of a codec chip.  It's especially useful when
+you analyze or debug a codec without a proper datasheet.  The program
+parses the given codec proc file and converts to SVG via graphiz
+program.
+
+The tarball and GIT trees are found in the web page at:
+
+- http://helllabs.org/codecgraph/
+
+
+hda-emu
+~~~~~~~
+hda-emu is an HD-audio emulator.  The main purpose of this program is
+to debug an HD-audio codec without the real hardware.  Thus, it
+doesn't emulate the behavior with the real audio I/O, but it just
+dumps the codec register changes and the ALSA-driver internal changes
+at probing and operating the HD-audio driver.
+
+The program requires a codec proc-file to simulate.  Get a proc file
+for the target codec beforehand, or pick up an example codec from the
+codec proc collections in the tarball.  Then, run the program with the
+proc file, and the hda-emu program will start parsing the codec file
+and simulates the HD-audio driver:
+
+------------------------------------------------------------------------
+  % hda-emu codecs/stac9200-dell-d820-laptop
+  # Parsing..
+  hda_codec: Unknown model for STAC9200, using BIOS defaults
+  hda_codec: pin nid 08 bios pin config 40c003fa
+  ....
+------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+The program gives you only a very dumb command-line interface.  You
+can get a proc-file dump at the current state, get a list of control
+(mixer) elements, set/get the control element value, simulate the PCM
+operation, the jack plugging simulation, etc.
+
+The package is found in:
+
+- ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/tiwai/misc/
+
+A git repository is available:
+
+- git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tiwai/hda-emu.git
+
+See README file in the tarball for more details about hda-emu
+program.

-A tracepoint placed in code provides a hook to call a function (probe) that you

-space penalty (adding a few bytes for the function call at the end of the
-instrumented function and adds a data structure in a separate section).  When a
-tracepoint is "on", the function you provide is called each time the tracepoint
-is executed, in the execution context of the caller. When the function provided
-ends its execution, it returns to the caller (continuing from the tracepoint
-site).

+Overview of the V4L2 driver framework
+=====================================
+
+This text documents the various structures provided by the V4L2 framework and
+their relationships.
+
+
+Introduction
+------------
+
+The V4L2 drivers tend to be very complex due to the complexity of the
+hardware: most devices have multiple ICs, export multiple device nodes in
+/dev, and create also non-V4L2 devices such as DVB, ALSA, FB, I2C and input
+(IR) devices.
+
+Especially the fact that V4L2 drivers have to setup supporting ICs to
+do audio/video muxing/encoding/decoding makes it more complex than most.
+Usually these ICs are connected to the main bridge driver through one or
+more I2C busses, but other busses can also be used. Such devices are
+called 'sub-devices'.
+
+For a long time the framework was limited to the video_device struct for
+creating V4L device nodes and video_buf for handling the video buffers
+(note that this document does not discuss the video_buf framework).
+
+This meant that all drivers had to do the setup of device instances and
+connecting to sub-devices themselves. Some of this is quite complicated
+to do right and many drivers never did do it correctly.
+
+There is also a lot of common code that could never be refactored due to
+the lack of a framework.
+
+So this framework sets up the basic building blocks that all drivers
+need and this same framework should make it much easier to refactor
+common code into utility functions shared by all drivers.
+
+
+Structure of a driver
+---------------------
+
+All drivers have the following structure:
+
+1) A struct for each device instance containing the device state.
+
+2) A way of initializing and commanding sub-devices (if any).
+
+3) Creating V4L2 device nodes (/dev/videoX, /dev/vbiX, /dev/radioX and
+   /dev/vtxX) and keeping track of device-node specific data.
+
+4) Filehandle-specific structs containing per-filehandle data.
+
+This is a rough schematic of how it all relates:
+
+    device instances
+      |
+      +-sub-device instances
+      |
+      \-V4L2 device nodes
+          |
+          \-filehandle instances
+
+
+Structure of the framework
+--------------------------
+
+The framework closely resembles the driver structure: it has a v4l2_device
+struct for the device instance data, a v4l2_subdev struct to refer to
+sub-device instances, the video_device struct stores V4L2 device node data
+and in the future a v4l2_fh struct will keep track of filehandle instances
+(this is not yet implemented).
+
+
+struct v4l2_device
+------------------
+
+Each device instance is represented by a struct v4l2_device (v4l2-device.h).
+Very simple devices can just allocate this struct, but most of the time you
+would embed this struct inside a larger struct.
+
+You must register the device instance:
+
+        v4l2_device_register(struct device *dev, struct v4l2_device *v4l2_dev);
+
+Registration will initialize the v4l2_device struct and link dev->driver_data
+to v4l2_dev. Registration will also set v4l2_dev->name to a value derived from
+dev (driver name followed by the bus_id, to be precise). You may change the
+name after registration if you want.
+
+The first 'dev' argument is normally the struct device pointer of a pci_dev,
+usb_device or platform_device.
+
+You unregister with:
+
+        v4l2_device_unregister(struct v4l2_device *v4l2_dev);
+
+Unregistering will also automatically unregister all subdevs from the device.
+
+Sometimes you need to iterate over all devices registered by a specific
+driver. This is usually the case if multiple device drivers use the same
+hardware. E.g. the ivtvfb driver is a framebuffer driver that uses the ivtv
+hardware. The same is true for alsa drivers for example.
+
+You can iterate over all registered devices as follows:
+
+static int callback(struct device *dev, void *p)
+{
+        struct v4l2_device *v4l2_dev = dev_get_drvdata(dev);
+
+        /* test if this device was inited */
+        if (v4l2_dev == NULL)
+                return 0;
+        ...
+        return 0;
+}
+
+int iterate(void *p)
+{
+        struct device_driver *drv;
+        int err;
+
+        /* Find driver 'ivtv' on the PCI bus.
+           pci_bus_type is a global. For USB busses use usb_bus_type. */
+        drv = driver_find("ivtv", &pci_bus_type);
+        /* iterate over all ivtv device instances */
+        err = driver_for_each_device(drv, NULL, p, callback);
+        put_driver(drv);
+        return err;
+}
+
+Sometimes you need to keep a running counter of the device instance. This is
+commonly used to map a device instance to an index of a module option array.
+
+The recommended approach is as follows:
+
+static atomic_t drv_instance = ATOMIC_INIT(0);
+
+static int __devinit drv_probe(struct pci_dev *dev,
+                                const struct pci_device_id *pci_id)
+{
+        ...
+        state->instance = atomic_inc_return(&drv_instance) - 1;
+}
+
+
+struct v4l2_subdev
+------------------
+
+Many drivers need to communicate with sub-devices. These devices can do all
+sort of tasks, but most commonly they handle audio and/or video muxing,
+encoding or decoding. For webcams common sub-devices are sensors and camera
+controllers.
+
+Usually these are I2C devices, but not necessarily. In order to provide the
+driver with a consistent interface to these sub-devices the v4l2_subdev struct
+(v4l2-subdev.h) was created.
+
+Each sub-device driver must have a v4l2_subdev struct. This struct can be
+stand-alone for simple sub-devices or it might be embedded in a larger struct
+if more state information needs to be stored. Usually there is a low-level
+device struct (e.g. i2c_client) that contains the device data as setup
+by the kernel. It is recommended to store that pointer in the private
+data of v4l2_subdev using v4l2_set_subdevdata(). That makes it easy to go
+from a v4l2_subdev to the actual low-level bus-specific device data.
+
+You also need a way to go from the low-level struct to v4l2_subdev. For the
+common i2c_client struct the i2c_set_clientdata() call is used to store a
+v4l2_subdev pointer, for other busses you may have to use other methods.
+
+From the bridge driver perspective you load the sub-device module and somehow
+obtain the v4l2_subdev pointer. For i2c devices this is easy: you call
+i2c_get_clientdata(). For other busses something similar needs to be done.
+Helper functions exists for sub-devices on an I2C bus that do most of this
+tricky work for you.
+
+Each v4l2_subdev contains function pointers that sub-device drivers can
+implement (or leave NULL if it is not applicable). Since sub-devices can do
+so many different things and you do not want to end up with a huge ops struct
+of which only a handful of ops are commonly implemented, the function pointers
+are sorted according to category and each category has its own ops struct.
+
+The top-level ops struct contains pointers to the category ops structs, which
+may be NULL if the subdev driver does not support anything from that category.
+
+It looks like this:

+        const struct v4l2_subdev_video_ops *video;
+};
+
+The core ops are common to all subdevs, the other categories are implemented
+depending on the sub-device. E.g. a video device is unlikely to support the
+audio ops and vice versa.
+
+This setup limits the number of function pointers while still making it easy
+to add new ops and categories.
+
+A sub-device driver initializes the v4l2_subdev struct using:
+
+        v4l2_subdev_init(subdev, &ops);
+
+Afterwards you need to initialize subdev->name with a unique name and set the
+module owner. This is done for you if you use the i2c helper functions.
+
+A device (bridge) driver needs to register the v4l2_subdev with the
+v4l2_device:
+
+        int err = v4l2_device_register_subdev(device, subdev);
+
+This can fail if the subdev module disappeared before it could be registered.
+After this function was called successfully the subdev->dev field points to
+the v4l2_device.
+
+You can unregister a sub-device using:
+
+        v4l2_device_unregister_subdev(subdev);
+
+Afterwards the subdev module can be unloaded and subdev->dev == NULL.
+
+You can call an ops function either directly:
+
+        err = subdev->ops->core->g_chip_ident(subdev, &chip);
+
+but it is better and easier to use this macro:
+
+        err = v4l2_subdev_call(subdev, core, g_chip_ident, &chip);
+
+The macro will to the right NULL pointer checks and returns -ENODEV if subdev
+is NULL, -ENOIOCTLCMD if either subdev->core or subdev->core->g_chip_ident is
+NULL, or the actual result of the subdev->ops->core->g_chip_ident ops.
+
+It is also possible to call all or a subset of the sub-devices:
+
+        v4l2_device_call_all(dev, 0, core, g_chip_ident, &chip);
+
+Any subdev that does not support this ops is skipped and error results are
+ignored. If you want to check for errors use this:
+
+        err = v4l2_device_call_until_err(dev, 0, core, g_chip_ident, &chip);
+
+Any error except -ENOIOCTLCMD will exit the loop with that error. If no
+errors (except -ENOIOCTLCMD) occured, then 0 is returned.
+
+The second argument to both calls is a group ID. If 0, then all subdevs are
+called. If non-zero, then only those whose group ID match that value will
+be called. Before a bridge driver registers a subdev it can set subdev->grp_id
+to whatever value it wants (it's 0 by default). This value is owned by the
+bridge driver and the sub-device driver will never modify or use it.
+
+The group ID gives the bridge driver more control how callbacks are called.
+For example, there may be multiple audio chips on a board, each capable of
+changing the volume. But usually only one will actually be used when the
+user want to change the volume. You can set the group ID for that subdev to
+e.g. AUDIO_CONTROLLER and specify that as the group ID value when calling
+v4l2_device_call_all(). That ensures that it will only go to the subdev
+that needs it.
+
+The advantage of using v4l2_subdev is that it is a generic struct and does
+not contain any knowledge about the underlying hardware. So a driver might
+contain several subdevs that use an I2C bus, but also a subdev that is
+controlled through GPIO pins. This distinction is only relevant when setting
+up the device, but once the subdev is registered it is completely transparent.
+
+
+I2C sub-device drivers
+----------------------
+
+Since these drivers are so common, special helper functions are available to
+ease the use of these drivers (v4l2-common.h).
+
+The recommended method of adding v4l2_subdev support to an I2C driver is to
+embed the v4l2_subdev struct into the state struct that is created for each
+I2C device instance. Very simple devices have no state struct and in that case
+you can just create a v4l2_subdev directly.
+
+A typical state struct would look like this (where 'chipname' is replaced by
+the name of the chip):
+
+struct chipname_state {
+        struct v4l2_subdev sd;
+        ...  /* additional state fields */
+};
+
+Initialize the v4l2_subdev struct as follows:
+
+        v4l2_i2c_subdev_init(&state->sd, client, subdev_ops);
+
+This function will fill in all the fields of v4l2_subdev and ensure that the
+v4l2_subdev and i2c_client both point to one another.
+
+You should also add a helper inline function to go from a v4l2_subdev pointer
+to a chipname_state struct:
+
+static inline struct chipname_state *to_state(struct v4l2_subdev *sd)
+{
+        return container_of(sd, struct chipname_state, sd);
+}
+
+Use this to go from the v4l2_subdev struct to the i2c_client struct:
+
+        struct i2c_client *client = v4l2_get_subdevdata(sd);
+
+And this to go from an i2c_client to a v4l2_subdev struct:
+
+        struct v4l2_subdev *sd = i2c_get_clientdata(client);
+
+Finally you need to make a command function to make driver->command()
+call the right subdev_ops functions:
+
+static int subdev_command(struct i2c_client *client, unsigned cmd, void *arg)
+{
+        return v4l2_subdev_command(i2c_get_clientdata(client), cmd, arg);
+}
+
+If driver->command is never used then you can leave this out. Eventually the
+driver->command usage should be removed from v4l.
+
+Make sure to call v4l2_device_unregister_subdev(sd) when the remove() callback
+is called. This will unregister the sub-device from the bridge driver. It is
+safe to call this even if the sub-device was never registered.
+
+
+The bridge driver also has some helper functions it can use:
+
+struct v4l2_subdev *sd = v4l2_i2c_new_subdev(adapter, "module_foo", "chipid", 0x36);
+
+This loads the given module (can be NULL if no module needs to be loaded) and
+calls i2c_new_device() with the given i2c_adapter and chip/address arguments.
+If all goes well, then it registers the subdev with the v4l2_device. It gets
+the v4l2_device by calling i2c_get_adapdata(adapter), so you should make sure
+that adapdata is set to v4l2_device when you setup the i2c_adapter in your
+driver.
+
+You can also use v4l2_i2c_new_probed_subdev() which is very similar to
+v4l2_i2c_new_subdev(), except that it has an array of possible I2C addresses
+that it should probe. Internally it calls i2c_new_probed_device().
+
+Both functions return NULL if something went wrong.
+
+
+struct video_device
+-------------------
+
+The actual device nodes in the /dev directory are created using the
+video_device struct (v4l2-dev.h). This struct can either be allocated
+dynamically or embedded in a larger struct.
+
+To allocate it dynamically use:
+
+        struct video_device *vdev = video_device_alloc();
+
+        if (vdev == NULL)
+                return -ENOMEM;
+
+        vdev->release = video_device_release;
+
+If you embed it in a larger struct, then you must set the release()
+callback to your own function:
+
+        struct video_device *vdev = &my_vdev->vdev;
+
+        vdev->release = my_vdev_release;
+
+The release callback must be set and it is called when the last user
+of the video device exits.
+
+The default video_device_release() callback just calls kfree to free the
+allocated memory.
+
+You should also set these fields:
+
+- parent: set to the parent device (same device as was used to register
+  v4l2_device).
+- name: set to something descriptive and unique.
+- fops: set to the file_operations struct.
+- ioctl_ops: if you use the v4l2_ioctl_ops to simplify ioctl maintenance
+  (highly recommended to use this and it might become compulsory in the
+  future!), then set this to your v4l2_ioctl_ops struct.
+
+If you use v4l2_ioctl_ops, then you should set .unlocked_ioctl to
+__video_ioctl2 or .ioctl to video_ioctl2 in your file_operations struct.
+
+
+video_device registration
+-------------------------
+
+Next you register the video device: this will create the character device
+for you.
+
+        err = video_register_device(vdev, VFL_TYPE_GRABBER, -1);
+        if (err) {
+                video_device_release(vdev); // or kfree(my_vdev);
+                return err;
+        }
+
+Which device is registered depends on the type argument. The following
+types exist:
+
+VFL_TYPE_GRABBER: videoX for video input/output devices
+VFL_TYPE_VBI: vbiX for vertical blank data (i.e. closed captions, teletext)
+VFL_TYPE_RADIO: radioX for radio tuners
+VFL_TYPE_VTX: vtxX for teletext devices (deprecated, don't use)
+
+The last argument gives you a certain amount of control over the device
+kernel number used (i.e. the X in videoX). Normally you will pass -1 to
+let the v4l2 framework pick the first free number. But if a driver creates
+many devices, then it can be useful to have different video devices in
+separate ranges. For example, video capture devices start at 0, video
+output devices start at 16.
+
+So you can use the last argument to specify a minimum kernel number and
+the v4l2 framework will try to pick the first free number that is equal
+or higher to what you passed. If that fails, then it will just pick the
+first free number.
+
+Whenever a device node is created some attributes are also created for you.
+If you look in /sys/class/video4linux you see the devices. Go into e.g.
+video0 and you will see 'name' and 'index' attributes. The 'name' attribute
+is the 'name' field of the video_device struct. The 'index' attribute is
+a device node index that can be assigned by the driver, or that is calculated
+for you.
+
+If you call video_register_device(), then the index is just increased by
+1 for each device node you register. The first video device node you register
+always starts off with 0.
+
+Alternatively you can call video_register_device_index() which is identical
+to video_register_device(), but with an extra index argument. Here you can
+pass a specific index value (between 0 and 31) that should be used.
+
+Users can setup udev rules that utilize the index attribute to make fancy
+device names (e.g. 'mpegX' for MPEG video capture device nodes).
+
+After the device was successfully registered, then you can use these fields:
+
+- vfl_type: the device type passed to video_register_device.
+- minor: the assigned device minor number.
+- num: the device kernel number (i.e. the X in videoX).
+- index: the device index number (calculated or set explicitly using
+  video_register_device_index).
+
+If the registration failed, then you need to call video_device_release()
+to free the allocated video_device struct, or free your own struct if the
+video_device was embedded in it. The vdev->release() callback will never
+be called if the registration failed, nor should you ever attempt to
+unregister the device if the registration failed.
+
+
+video_device cleanup
+--------------------
+
+When the video device nodes have to be removed, either during the unload
+of the driver or because the USB device was disconnected, then you should
+unregister them:
+
+        video_unregister_device(vdev);
+
+This will remove the device nodes from sysfs (causing udev to remove them
+from /dev).
+
+After video_unregister_device() returns no new opens can be done.
+
+However, in the case of USB devices some application might still have one
+of these device nodes open. You should block all new accesses to read,
+write, poll, etc. except possibly for certain ioctl operations like
+queueing buffers.
+
+When the last user of the video device node exits, then the vdev->release()
+callback is called and you can do the final cleanup there.
+
+
+video_device helper functions
+-----------------------------
+
+There are a few useful helper functions:
+
+You can set/get driver private data in the video_device struct using:
+
+void *video_get_drvdata(struct video_device *dev);
+void video_set_drvdata(struct video_device *dev, void *data);
+
+Note that you can safely call video_set_drvdata() before calling
+video_register_device().
+
+And this function:
+
+struct video_device *video_devdata(struct file *file);
+
+returns the video_device belonging to the file struct.
+
+The final helper function combines video_get_drvdata with
+video_devdata:
+
+void *video_drvdata(struct file *file);
+
+You can go from a video_device struct to the v4l2_device struct using:
+
+struct v4l2_device *v4l2_dev = dev_get_drvdata(vdev->parent);

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