1What: /proc/<pid>/oom_adj
2When: August 2012
3Why: /proc/<pid>/oom_adj allows userspace to influence the oom killer's
4 badness heuristic used to determine which task to kill when the kernel
5 is out of memory.
6
7 The badness heuristic has since been rewritten since the introduction of
8 this tunable such that its meaning is deprecated. The value was
9 implemented as a bitshift on a score generated by the badness()
10 function that did not have any precise units of measure. With the
11 rewrite, the score is given as a proportion of available memory to the
12 task allocating pages, so using a bitshift which grows the score
13 exponentially is, thus, impossible to tune with fine granularity.
14
15 A much more powerful interface, /proc/<pid>/oom_score_adj, was
16 introduced with the oom killer rewrite that allows users to increase or
17 decrease the badness() score linearly. This interface will replace
18 /proc/<pid>/oom_adj.
19
20 A warning will be emitted to the kernel log if an application uses this
21 deprecated interface. After it is printed once, future warnings will be
22 suppressed until the kernel is rebooted.

316Greg Kroah-Hartman currently (as of 2.6.36) maintains the staging tree.
317Drivers that still need work are sent to him, with each driver having
318its own subdirectory in drivers/staging/. Along with the driver source
319files, a TODO file should be present in the directory as well. The TODO
320file lists the pending work that the driver needs for acceptance into
321the kernel proper, as well as a list of people that should be Cc'd for any
322patches to the driver. Staging drivers that don't currently build should
323have their config entries depend upon CONFIG_BROKEN. Once they can
324be successfully built without outside patches, CONFIG_BROKEN can be removed.

11-----------
12
13LP5521 can drive up to 3 channels. Leds can be controlled directly via
14the led class control interface. Channels have generic names:
15lp5521:channelx, where x is 0 .. 2
16
17All three channels can be also controlled using the engine micro programs.
18More details of the instructions can be found from the public data sheet.

20Control interface for the engines:
21x is 1 .. 3
22enginex_mode : disabled, load, run
23enginex_load : store program (visible only in engine load mode)
24
25Example (start to blink the channel 2 led):
26cd /sys/class/leds/lp5521:channel2/device
27echo "load" > engine3_mode
28echo "037f4d0003ff6000" > engine3_load
29echo "run" > engine3_mode
30
31stop the engine:
32echo "disabled" > engine3_mode
33
34sysfs contains a selftest entry.
35The test communicates with the chip and checks that
36the clock mode is automatically set to the requested one.

10Description
11-----------
12LP5523 can drive up to 9 channels. Leds can be controlled directly via
13the led class control interface. Channels have generic names:
14lp5523:channelx where x is 0...8
15
16The chip provides 3 engines. Each engine can control channels without
17interaction from the main CPU. Details of the micro engine code can be found
18from the public data sheet. Leds can be muxed to different channels.
19
20Control interface for the engines:
21x is 1 .. 3
22enginex_mode : disabled, load, run
23enginex_load : microcode load (visible only in load mode)
24enginex_leds : led mux control (visible only in load mode)

29echo "111111111" > engine3_leds
30echo "run" > engine3_mode
31
32sysfs contains a selftest entry. It measures each channel
33voltage level and checks if it looks reasonable. If the level is too high,
34the led is missing; if the level is too low, there is a short circuit.
35
36Selftest uses always the current from the platform data.

3The framework on SH extends existing API by the function clk_set_rate_ex,
4which prototype is as follows:
5
6 clk_set_rate_ex (struct clk *clk, unsigned long rate, int algo_id)
7
8The algo_id parameter is used to specify algorithm used to recalculate clocks,
9adjanced to clock, specified as first argument. It is assumed that algo_id==0
10means no changes to adjanced clock
11
12Internally, the clk_set_rate_ex forwards request to clk->ops->set_rate method,
13if it is present in ops structure. The method should set the clock rate and adjust
14all needed clocks according to the passed algo_id.
15Exact values for algo_id are machine-dependent. For the sh7722, the following
16values are defined:
