+                Chapter 14: The inline disease
+
+There appears to be a common misperception that gcc has a magic "make me
+faster" speedup option called "inline". While the use of inlines can be
+appropriate (for example as a means of replacing macros, see Chapter 11), it
+very often is not. Abundant use of the inline keyword leads to a much bigger
+kernel, which in turn slows the system as a whole down, due to a bigger
+icache footprint for the CPU and simply because there is less memory
+available for the pagecache. Just think about it; a pagecache miss causes a
+disk seek, which easily takes 5 miliseconds. There are a LOT of cpu cycles
+that can go into these 5 miliseconds.
+
+A reasonable rule of thumb is to not put inline at functions that have more
+than 3 lines of code in them. An exception to this rule are the cases where
+a parameter is known to be a compiletime constant, and as a result of this
+constantness you *know* the compiler will be able to optimize most of your
+function away at compile time. For a good example of this later case, see
+the kmalloc() inline function.
+
+Often people argue that adding inline to functions that are static and used
+only once is always a win since there is no space tradeoff. While this is
+technically correct, gcc is capable of inlining these automatically without
+help, and the maintenance issue of removing the inline when a second user
+appears outweighs the potential value of the hint that tells gcc to do
+something it would have done anyway.

+Introduction
+
+Modern advances in system architectures have introduced advanced error
+reporting and correction capabilities in processors. CPU architectures permit
+partitioning support, where compute resources of a single CPU could be made
+available to virtual machine environments. There are couple OEMS that
+support NUMA hardware which are hot pluggable as well, where physical
+node insertion and removal require support for CPU hotplug.
+
+Such advances require CPUs available to a kernel to be removed either for
+provisioning reasons, or for RAS purposes to keep an offending CPU off
+system execution path. Hence the need for CPU hotplug support in the
+Linux kernel.
+
+A more novel use of CPU-hotplug support is its use today in suspend
+resume support for SMP. Dual-core and HT support makes even
+a laptop run SMP kernels which didn't support these methods. SMP support
+for suspend/resume is a work in progress.
+
+General Stuff about CPU Hotplug
+--------------------------------
+
+Command Line Switches
+---------------------
+maxcpus=n    Restrict boot time cpus to n. Say if you have 4 cpus, using
+             maxcpus=2 will only boot 2. You can choose to bring the
+             other cpus later online, read FAQ's for more info.
+
+additional_cpus=n       [x86_64 only] use this to limit hotpluggable cpus.
+                        This option sets
+                        cpu_possible_map = cpu_present_map + additional_cpus
+
+CPU maps and such
+-----------------
+[More on cpumaps and primitive to manipulate, please check
+include/linux/cpumask.h that has more descriptive text.]
+
+cpu_possible_map: Bitmap of possible CPUs that can ever be available in the
+system. This is used to allocate some boot time memory for per_cpu variables
+that aren't designed to grow/shrink as CPUs are made available or removed.
+Once set during boot time discovery phase, the map is static, i.e no bits
+are added or removed anytime.  Trimming it accurately for your system needs
+upfront can save some boot time memory. See below for how we use heuristics
+in x86_64 case to keep this under check.
+
+cpu_online_map: Bitmap of all CPUs currently online. Its set in __cpu_up()
+after a cpu is available for kernel scheduling and ready to receive
+interrupts from devices. Its cleared when a cpu is brought down using
+__cpu_disable(), before which all OS services including interrupts are
+migrated to another target CPU.
+
+cpu_present_map: Bitmap of CPUs currently present in the system. Not all
+of them may be online. When physical hotplug is processed by the relevant
+subsystem (e.g ACPI) can change and new bit either be added or removed
+from the map depending on the event is hot-add/hot-remove. There are currently
+no locking rules as of now. Typical usage is to init topology during boot,
+at which time hotplug is disabled.
+
+You really dont need to manipulate any of the system cpu maps. They should
+be read-only for most use. When setting up per-cpu resources almost always use
+cpu_possible_map/for_each_cpu() to iterate.
+
+Never use anything other than cpumask_t to represent bitmap of CPUs.
+
+#include <linux/cpumask.h>
+

+CPU Hotplug - Frequently Asked Questions.
+
+Q: How to i enable my kernel to support CPU hotplug?
+A: When doing make defconfig, Enable CPU hotplug support
+
+   "Processor type and Features" -> Support for Hotpluggable CPUs
+
+Make sure that you have CONFIG_HOTPLUG, and CONFIG_SMP turned on as well.
+
+You would need to enable CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU for SMP suspend/resume support
+as well.
+
+Q: What architectures support CPU hotplug?
+A: As of 2.6.14, the following architectures support CPU hotplug.
+
+i386 (Intel), ppc, ppc64, parisc, s390, ia64 and x86_64
+
+Q: How to test if hotplug is supported on the newly built kernel?
+A: You should now notice an entry in sysfs.
+
+Check if sysfs is mounted, using the "mount" command. You should notice
+an entry as shown below in the output.
+
+....
+none on /sys type sysfs (rw)
+....
+
+if this is not mounted, do the following.
+
+#mkdir /sysfs
+#mount -t sysfs sys /sys
+
+now you should see entries for all present cpu, the following is an example
+in a 8-way system.
+
+#pwd
+#/sys/devices/system/cpu
+#ls -l
+total 0
+drwxr-xr-x  10 root root 0 Sep 19 07:44 .

+drwxr-xr-x   3 root root 0 Sep 19 07:48 cpu7
+
+Under each directory you would find an "online" file which is the control
+file to logically online/offline a processor.
+
+Q: Does hot-add/hot-remove refer to physical add/remove of cpus?
+A: The usage of hot-add/remove may not be very consistently used in the code.
+CONFIG_CPU_HOTPLUG enables logical online/offline capability in the kernel.
+To support physical addition/removal, one would need some BIOS hooks and
+the platform should have something like an attention button in PCI hotplug.
+CONFIG_ACPI_HOTPLUG_CPU enables ACPI support for physical add/remove of CPUs.
+
+Q: How do i logically offline a CPU?
+A: Do the following.
+
+#echo 0 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuX/online
+
+once the logical offline is successful, check
+
+#cat /proc/interrupts
+
+you should now not see the CPU that you removed. Also online file will report
+the state as 0 when a cpu if offline and 1 when its online.
+
+#To display the current cpu state.
+#cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuX/online
+
+Q: Why cant i remove CPU0 on some systems?
+A: Some architectures may have some special dependency on a certain CPU.
+
+For e.g in IA64 platforms we have ability to sent platform interrupts to the
+OS. a.k.a Corrected Platform Error Interrupts (CPEI). In current ACPI
+specifications, we didn't have a way to change the target CPU. Hence if the
+current ACPI version doesn't support such re-direction, we disable that CPU
+by making it not-removable.
+
+In such cases you will also notice that the online file is missing under cpu0.
+
+Q: How do i find out if a particular CPU is not removable?
+A: Depending on the implementation, some architectures may show this by the
+absence of the "online" file. This is done if it can be determined ahead of
+time that this CPU cannot be removed.
+
+In some situations, this can be a run time check, i.e if you try to remove the
+last CPU, this will not be permitted. You can find such failures by
+investigating the return value of the "echo" command.
+
+Q: What happens when a CPU is being logically offlined?
+A: The following happen, listed in no particular order :-)
+
+- A notification is sent to in-kernel registered modules by sending an event
+  CPU_DOWN_PREPARE
+- All process is migrated away from this outgoing CPU to a new CPU
+- All interrupts targeted to this CPU is migrated to a new CPU
+- timers/bottom half/task lets are also migrated to a new CPU
+- Once all services are migrated, kernel calls an arch specific routine
+  __cpu_disable() to perform arch specific cleanup.
+- Once this is successful, an event for successful cleanup is sent by an event
+  CPU_DEAD.
+
+  "It is expected that each service cleans up when the CPU_DOWN_PREPARE
+  notifier is called, when CPU_DEAD is called its expected there is nothing
+  running on behalf of this CPU that was offlined"
+
+Q: If i have some kernel code that needs to be aware of CPU arrival and
+   departure, how to i arrange for proper notification?
+A: This is what you would need in your kernel code to receive notifications.
+
+    #include <linux/cpu.h>
+    static int __cpuinit foobar_cpu_callback(struct notifier_block *nfb,
+                                            unsigned long action, void *hcpu)
+        {
+                unsigned int cpu = (unsigned long)hcpu;
+
+                switch (action) {
+                case CPU_ONLINE:
+                        foobar_online_action(cpu);
+                        break;
+                case CPU_DEAD:
+                        foobar_dead_action(cpu);
+                        break;
+                }
+                return NOTIFY_OK;
+        }
+
+        static struct notifier_block foobar_cpu_notifer =
+        {
+           .notifier_call = foobar_cpu_callback,
+        };
+
+
+In your init function,
+
+        register_cpu_notifier(&foobar_cpu_notifier);
+
+You can fail PREPARE notifiers if something doesn't work to prepare resources.
+This will stop the activity and send a following CANCELED event back.
+
+CPU_DEAD should not be failed, its just a goodness indication, but bad
+things will happen if a notifier in path sent a BAD notify code.
+
+Q: I don't see my action being called for all CPUs already up and running?
+A: Yes, CPU notifiers are called only when new CPUs are on-lined or offlined.
+   If you need to perform some action for each cpu already in the system, then
+
+  for_each_online_cpu(i) {
+                foobar_cpu_callback(&foobar_cpu_notifier, CPU_UP_PREPARE, i);
+                foobar_cpu_callback(&foobar-cpu_notifier, CPU_ONLINE, i);
+  }
+
+Q: If i would like to develop cpu hotplug support for a new architecture,
+   what do i need at a minimum?
+A: The following are what is required for CPU hotplug infrastructure to work
+   correctly.
+
+    - Make sure you have an entry in Kconfig to enable CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU
+    - __cpu_up()        - Arch interface to bring up a CPU
+    - __cpu_disable()   - Arch interface to shutdown a CPU, no more interrupts
+                          can be handled by the kernel after the routine
+                          returns. Including local APIC timers etc are
+                          shutdown.
+     - __cpu_die()      - This actually supposed to ensure death of the CPU.
+                          Actually look at some example code in other arch
+                          that implement CPU hotplug. The processor is taken
+                          down from the idle() loop for that specific
+                          architecture. __cpu_die() typically waits for some
+                          per_cpu state to be set, to ensure the processor
+                          dead routine is called to be sure positively.
+
+Q: I need to ensure that a particular cpu is not removed when there is some
+   work specific to this cpu is in progress.
+A: First switch the current thread context to preferred cpu
+
+   int my_func_on_cpu(int cpu)
+   {
+       cpumask_t saved_mask, new_mask = CPU_MASK_NONE;
+       int curr_cpu, err = 0;
+
+       saved_mask = current->cpus_allowed;
+       cpu_set(cpu, new_mask);
+       err = set_cpus_allowed(current, new_mask);
+
+       if (err)
+           return err;
+
+       /*
+        * If we got scheduled out just after the return from
+        * set_cpus_allowed() before running the work, this ensures
+        * we stay locked.
+        */
+       curr_cpu = get_cpu();
+
+       if (curr_cpu != cpu) {
+           err = -EAGAIN;
+           goto ret;
+       } else {
+           /*
+            * Do work : But cant sleep, since get_cpu() disables preempt
+            */
+       }
+    ret:
+        put_cpu();
+        set_cpus_allowed(current, saved_mask);
+        return err;
+    }
+
+
+Q: How do we determine how many CPUs are available for hotplug.
+A: There is no clear spec defined way from ACPI that can give us that
+   information today. Based on some input from Natalie of Unisys,
+   that the ACPI MADT (Multiple APIC Description Tables) marks those possible
+   CPUs in a system with disabled status.
+
+   Andi implemented some simple heuristics that count the number of disabled
+   CPUs in MADT as hotpluggable CPUS.  In the case there are no disabled CPUS
+   we assume 1/2 the number of CPUs currently present can be hotplugged.
+
+   Caveat: Today's ACPI MADT can only provide 256 entries since the apicid field
+   in MADT is only 8 bits.
+
+User Space Notification
+
+Hotplug support for devices is common in Linux today. Its being used today to
+support automatic configuration of network, usb and pci devices. A hotplug
+event can be used to invoke an agent script to perform the configuration task.
+
+You can add /etc/hotplug/cpu.agent to handle hotplug notification user space
+scripts.
+
+        #!/bin/bash
+        # $Id: cpu.agent
+        # Kernel hotplug params include:
+        #ACTION=%s [online or offline]
+        #DEVPATH=%s
+        #
+        cd /etc/hotplug
+        . ./hotplug.functions
+
+        case $ACTION in
+                online)
+                        echo `date` ":cpu.agent" add cpu >> /tmp/hotplug.txt

+1.4 What are exclusive cpusets ?
+--------------------------------
+
+If a cpuset is cpu or mem exclusive, no other cpuset, other than
+a direct ancestor or descendent, may share any of the same CPUs or
+Memory Nodes.
+
+A cpuset that is cpu_exclusive has a scheduler (sched) domain
+associated with it.  The sched domain consists of all CPUs in the
+current cpuset that are not part of any exclusive child cpusets.
+This ensures that the scheduler load balancing code only balances
+against the CPUs that are in the sched domain as defined above and
+not all of the CPUs in the system. This removes any overhead due to
+load balancing code trying to pull tasks outside of the cpu_exclusive
+cpuset only to be prevented by the tasks' cpus_allowed mask.
+
+A cpuset that is mem_exclusive restricts kernel allocations for
+page, buffer and other data commonly shared by the kernel across
+multiple users.  All cpusets, whether mem_exclusive or not, restrict
+allocations of memory for user space.  This enables configuring a
+system so that several independent jobs can share common kernel data,
+such as file system pages, while isolating each jobs user allocation in
+its own cpuset.  To do this, construct a large mem_exclusive cpuset to
+hold all the jobs, and construct child, non-mem_exclusive cpusets for
+each individual job.  Only a small amount of typical kernel memory,
+such as requests from interrupt handlers, is allowed to be taken
+outside even a mem_exclusive cpuset.
+
+
+1.5 What does notify_on_release do ?
+------------------------------------
+
+If the notify_on_release flag is enabled (1) in a cpuset, then whenever
+the last task in the cpuset leaves (exits or attaches to some other
+cpuset) and the last child cpuset of that cpuset is removed, then
+the kernel runs the command /sbin/cpuset_release_agent, supplying the
+pathname (relative to the mount point of the cpuset file system) of the
+abandoned cpuset.  This enables automatic removal of abandoned cpusets.
+The default value of notify_on_release in the root cpuset at system
+boot is disabled (0).  The default value of other cpusets at creation
+is the current value of their parents notify_on_release setting.
+
+
+1.6 What is memory_pressure ?
+-----------------------------
+The memory_pressure of a cpuset provides a simple per-cpuset metric
+of the rate that the tasks in a cpuset are attempting to free up in
+use memory on the nodes of the cpuset to satisfy additional memory
+requests.
+
+This enables batch managers monitoring jobs running in dedicated
+cpusets to efficiently detect what level of memory pressure that job
+is causing.
+
+This is useful both on tightly managed systems running a wide mix of
+submitted jobs, which may choose to terminate or re-prioritize jobs that
+are trying to use more memory than allowed on the nodes assigned them,
+and with tightly coupled, long running, massively parallel scientific
+computing jobs that will dramatically fail to meet required performance
+goals if they start to use more memory than allowed to them.
+
+This mechanism provides a very economical way for the batch manager
+to monitor a cpuset for signs of memory pressure.  It's up to the
+batch manager or other user code to decide what to do about it and
+take action.
+
+==> Unless this feature is enabled by writing "1" to the special file
+    /dev/cpuset/memory_pressure_enabled, the hook in the rebalance
+    code of __alloc_pages() for this metric reduces to simply noticing
+    that the cpuset_memory_pressure_enabled flag is zero.  So only
+    systems that enable this feature will compute the metric.
+
+Why a per-cpuset, running average:
+
+    Because this meter is per-cpuset, rather than per-task or mm,
+    the system load imposed by a batch scheduler monitoring this
+    metric is sharply reduced on large systems, because a scan of
+    the tasklist can be avoided on each set of queries.
+
+    Because this meter is a running average, instead of an accumulating
+    counter, a batch scheduler can detect memory pressure with a
+    single read, instead of having to read and accumulate results
+    for a period of time.
+
+    Because this meter is per-cpuset rather than per-task or mm,
+    the batch scheduler can obtain the key information, memory
+    pressure in a cpuset, with a single read, rather than having to
+    query and accumulate results over all the (dynamically changing)
+    set of tasks in the cpuset.
+
+A per-cpuset simple digital filter (requires a spinlock and 3 words
+of data per-cpuset) is kept, and updated by any task attached to that
+cpuset, if it enters the synchronous (direct) page reclaim code.
+
+A per-cpuset file provides an integer number representing the recent
+(half-life of 10 seconds) rate of direct page reclaims caused by
+the tasks in the cpuset, in units of reclaims attempted per second,
+times 1000.

+Why cpio rather than tar?
+-------------------------
+
+This decision was made back in December, 2001.  The discussion started here:
+
+  http://www.uwsg.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0112.2/1538.html
+
+And spawned a second thread (specifically on tar vs cpio), starting here:
+
+  http://www.uwsg.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0112.2/1587.html
+
+The quick and dirty summary version (which is no substitute for reading
+the above threads) is:
+
+1) cpio is a standard.  It's decades old (from the AT&T days), and already
+   widely used on Linux (inside RPM, Red Hat's device driver disks).  Here's
+   a Linux Journal article about it from 1996:
+
+      http://www.linuxjournal.com/article/1213
+
+   It's not as popular as tar because the traditional cpio command line tools
+   require _truly_hideous_ command line arguments.  But that says nothing
+   either way about the archive format, and there are alternative tools,
+   such as:
+
+     http://freshmeat.net/projects/afio/
+
+2) The cpio archive format chosen by the kernel is simpler and cleaner (and
+   thus easier to create and parse) than any of the (literally dozens of)
+   various tar archive formats.  The complete initramfs archive format is
+   explained in buffer-format.txt, created in usr/gen_init_cpio.c, and
+   extracted in init/initramfs.c.  All three together come to less than 26k
+   total of human-readable text.
+
+3) The GNU project standardizing on tar is approximately as relevant as
+   Windows standardizing on zip.  Linux is not part of either, and is free
+   to make its own technical decisions.
+
+4) Since this is a kernel internal format, it could easily have been
+   something brand new.  The kernel provides its own tools to create and
+   extract this format anyway.  Using an existing standard was preferable,
+   but not essential.
+
+5) Al Viro made the decision (quote: "tar is ugly as hell and not going to be
+   supported on the kernel side"):
+
+      http://www.uwsg.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0112.2/1540.html

+pair of .c files containing boilerplate code for each of the user and
+kernel sides of a relayfs application; combined these two sets of
+boilerplate code provide glue to easily stream data to disk, without
+having to bother with mundane housekeeping chores.
+
+The 'klog debugging functions' patch (klog.patch in the relay-apps
+tarball) provides a couple of high-level logging functions to the
+kernel which allow writing formatted text or raw data to a channel,
+regardless of whether a channel to write into exists or not, or
+whether relayfs is compiled into the kernel or is configured as a
+module.  These functions allow you to put unconditional 'trace'
+statements anywhere in the kernel or kernel modules; only when there
+is a 'klog handler' registered will data actually be logged (see the
+klog and kleak examples for details).
+
+It is of course possible to use relayfs from scratch i.e. without
+using any of the relay-apps example code or klog, but you'll have to
+implement communication between userspace and kernel, allowing both to
+convey the state of buffers (full, empty, amount of padding).

+Creating non-relay files
+------------------------
+
+relay_open() automatically creates files in the relayfs filesystem to
+represent the per-cpu kernel buffers; it's often useful for
+applications to be able to create their own files alongside the relay
+files in the relayfs filesystem as well e.g. 'control' files much like
+those created in /proc or debugfs for similar purposes, used to
+communicate control information between the kernel and user sides of a
+relayfs application.  For this purpose the relayfs_create_file() and
+relayfs_remove_file() API functions exist.  For relayfs_create_file(),
+the caller passes in a set of user-defined file operations to be used
+for the file and an optional void * to a user-specified data item,
+which will be accessible via inode->u.generic_ip (see the relay-apps
+tarball for examples).  The file_operations are a required parameter
+to relayfs_create_file() and thus the semantics of these files are
+completely defined by the caller.
+
+See the relay-apps tarball at http://relayfs.sourceforge.net for
+examples of how these non-relay files are meant to be used.
+
+Creating relay files in other filesystems
+-----------------------------------------
+
+By default of course, relay_open() creates relay files in the relayfs
+filesystem.  Because relay_file_operations is exported, however, it's
+also possible to create and use relay files in other pseudo-filesytems
+such as debugfs.
+
+For this purpose, two callback functions are provided,
+create_buf_file() and remove_buf_file().  create_buf_file() is called
+once for each per-cpu buffer from relay_open() to allow the client to
+create a file to be used to represent the corresponding buffer; if
+this callback is not defined, the default implementation will create
+and return a file in the relayfs filesystem to represent the buffer.
+The callback should return the dentry of the file created to represent
+the relay buffer.  Note that the parent directory passed to
+relay_open() (and passed along to the callback), if specified, must
+exist in the same filesystem the new relay file is created in.  If
+create_buf_file() is defined, remove_buf_file() must also be defined;
+it's responsible for deleting the file(s) created in create_buf_file()
+and is called during relay_close().
+
+The create_buf_file() implementation can also be defined in such a way
+as to allow the creation of a single 'global' buffer instead of the
+default per-cpu set.  This can be useful for applications interested
+mainly in seeing the relative ordering of system-wide events without
+the need to bother with saving explicit timestamps for the purpose of
+merging/sorting per-cpu files in a postprocessing step.
+
+To have relay_open() create a global buffer, the create_buf_file()
+implementation should set the value of the is_global outparam to a
+non-zero value in addition to creating the file that will be used to
+represent the single buffer.  In the case of a global buffer,
+create_buf_file() and remove_buf_file() will be called only once.  The
+normal channel-writing functions e.g. relay_write() can still be used
+- writes from any cpu will transparently end up in the global buffer -
+but since it is a global buffer, callers should make sure they use the
+proper locking for such a buffer, either by wrapping writes in a
+spinlock, or by copying a write function from relayfs_fs.h and
+creating a local version that internally does the proper locking.
+
+See the 'exported-relayfile' examples in the relay-apps tarball for
+examples of creating and using relay files in debugfs.

+SPUFS(2)                   Linux Programmer's Manual                  SPUFS(2)
+
+
+
+NAME
+       spufs - the SPU file system
+
+
+DESCRIPTION
+       The SPU file system is used on PowerPC machines that implement the Cell
+       Broadband Engine Architecture in order to access Synergistic  Processor
+       Units (SPUs).
+
+       The file system provides a name space similar to posix shared memory or
+       message queues. Users that have write permissions on  the  file  system
+       can use spu_create(2) to establish SPU contexts in the spufs root.
+
+       Every SPU context is represented by a directory containing a predefined
+       set of files. These files can be used for manipulating the state of the
+       logical SPU. Users can change permissions on those files, but not actu-
+       ally add or remove files.
+
+
+MOUNT OPTIONS
+       uid=<uid>
+              set the user owning the mount point, the default is 0 (root).
+
+       gid=<gid>
+              set the group owning the mount point, the default is 0 (root).
+
+
+FILES
+       The files in spufs mostly follow the standard behavior for regular sys-
+       tem  calls like read(2) or write(2), but often support only a subset of
+       the operations supported on regular file systems. This list details the
+       supported  operations  and  the  deviations  from  the behaviour in the
+       respective man pages.
+
+       All files that support the read(2) operation also support readv(2)  and
+       all  files  that support the write(2) operation also support writev(2).
+       All files support the access(2) and stat(2) family of  operations,  but
+       only  the  st_mode,  st_nlink,  st_uid and st_gid fields of struct stat
+       contain reliable information.
+
+       All files support the chmod(2)/fchmod(2) and chown(2)/fchown(2)  opera-
+       tions,  but  will  not be able to grant permissions that contradict the
+       possible operations, e.g. read access on the wbox file.
+
+       The current set of files is:
+
+
+   /mem
+       the contents of the local storage memory  of  the  SPU.   This  can  be
+       accessed  like  a regular shared memory file and contains both code and
+       data in the address space of the SPU.  The possible  operations  on  an
+       open mem file are:
+
+       read(2), pread(2), write(2), pwrite(2), lseek(2)
+              These  operate  as  documented, with the exception that seek(2),
+              write(2) and pwrite(2) are not supported beyond the end  of  the
+              file. The file size is the size of the local storage of the SPU,
+              which normally is 256 kilobytes.
+
+       mmap(2)
+              Mapping mem into the process address space gives access  to  the
+              SPU  local  storage  within  the  process  address  space.  Only
+              MAP_SHARED mappings are allowed.
+
+
+   /mbox
+       The first SPU to CPU communication mailbox. This file is read-only  and
+       can  be  read  in  units of 32 bits.  The file can only be used in non-
+       blocking mode and it even poll() will not block on  it.   The  possible
+       operations on an open mbox file are:
+
+       read(2)
+              If  a  count smaller than four is requested, read returns -1 and
+              sets errno to EINVAL.  If there is no data available in the mail
+              box,  the  return  value  is set to -1 and errno becomes EAGAIN.
+              When data has been read successfully, four bytes are  placed  in
+              the data buffer and the value four is returned.
+
+
+   /ibox
+       The  second  SPU  to CPU communication mailbox. This file is similar to
+       the first mailbox file, but can be read in blocking I/O mode,  and  the
+       poll  familiy of system calls can be used to wait for it.  The possible
+       operations on an open ibox file are:
+
+       read(2)
+              If a count smaller than four is requested, read returns  -1  and
+              sets errno to EINVAL.  If there is no data available in the mail
+              box and the file descriptor has been opened with O_NONBLOCK, the
+              return value is set to -1 and errno becomes EAGAIN.
+
+              If  there  is  no  data  available  in the mail box and the file
+              descriptor has been opened without  O_NONBLOCK,  the  call  will
+              block  until  the  SPU  writes to its interrupt mailbox channel.
+              When data has been read successfully, four bytes are  placed  in
+              the data buffer and the value four is returned.
+
+       poll(2)
+              Poll  on  the  ibox  file returns (POLLIN | POLLRDNORM) whenever
+              data is available for reading.
+
+
+   /wbox
+       The CPU to SPU communation mailbox. It is write-only can can be written
+       in  units  of  32  bits. If the mailbox is full, write() will block and
+       poll can be used to wait for it becoming  empty  again.   The  possible
+       operations  on  an open wbox file are: write(2) If a count smaller than
+       four is requested, write returns -1 and sets errno to EINVAL.  If there
+       is  no space available in the mail box and the file descriptor has been
+       opened with O_NONBLOCK, the return value is set to -1 and errno becomes
+       EAGAIN.
+
+       If  there is no space available in the mail box and the file descriptor
+       has been opened without O_NONBLOCK, the call will block until  the  SPU
+       reads  from  its PPE mailbox channel.  When data has been read success-
+       fully, four bytes are placed in the data buffer and the value  four  is
+       returned.
+
+       poll(2)
+              Poll  on  the  ibox file returns (POLLOUT | POLLWRNORM) whenever
+              space is available for writing.
+
+
+   /mbox_stat
+   /ibox_stat
+   /wbox_stat
+       Read-only files that contain the length of the current queue, i.e.  how
+       many  words  can  be  read  from  mbox or ibox or how many words can be
+       written to wbox without blocking.  The files can be read only in 4-byte
+       units  and  return  a  big-endian  binary integer number.  The possible
+       operations on an open *box_stat file are:
+
+       read(2)
+              If a count smaller than four is requested, read returns  -1  and
+              sets errno to EINVAL.  Otherwise, a four byte value is placed in
+              the data buffer, containing the number of elements that  can  be
+              read  from  (for  mbox_stat  and  ibox_stat)  or written to (for
+              wbox_stat) the respective mail box without blocking or resulting
+              in EAGAIN.
+
+
+   /npc
+   /decr
+   /decr_status
+   /spu_tag_mask
+   /event_mask
+   /srr0
+       Internal  registers  of  the SPU. The representation is an ASCII string
+       with the numeric value of the next instruction to  be  executed.  These
+       can  be  used in read/write mode for debugging, but normal operation of
+       programs should not rely on them because access to any of  them  except
+       npc requires an SPU context save and is therefore very inefficient.
+
+       The contents of these files are:
+
+       npc                 Next Program Counter
+
+       decr                SPU Decrementer
+
+       decr_status         Decrementer Status
+
+       spu_tag_mask        MFC tag mask for SPU DMA
+
+       event_mask          Event mask for SPU interrupts
+
+       srr0                Interrupt Return address register
+
+
+       The   possible   operations   on   an   open  npc,  decr,  decr_status,
+       spu_tag_mask, event_mask or srr0 file are:
+
+       read(2)
+              When the count supplied to the read call  is  shorter  than  the
+              required  length for the pointer value plus a newline character,
+              subsequent reads from the same file descriptor  will  result  in
+              completing  the string, regardless of changes to the register by
+              a running SPU task.  When a complete string has been  read,  all
+              subsequent read operations will return zero bytes and a new file
+              descriptor needs to be opened to read the value again.
+
+       write(2)
+              A write operation on the file results in setting the register to
+              the  value  given  in  the string. The string is parsed from the
+              beginning to the first non-numeric character or the end  of  the
+              buffer.  Subsequent writes to the same file descriptor overwrite
+              the previous setting.
+
+
+   /fpcr
+       This file gives access to the Floating Point Status and Control  Regis-
+       ter as a four byte long file. The operations on the fpcr file are:
+
+       read(2)
+              If  a  count smaller than four is requested, read returns -1 and
+              sets errno to EINVAL.  Otherwise, a four byte value is placed in
+              the data buffer, containing the current value of the fpcr regis-
+              ter.
+
+       write(2)
+              If a count smaller than four is requested, write returns -1  and
+              sets  errno  to  EINVAL.  Otherwise, a four byte value is copied
+              from the data buffer, updating the value of the fpcr register.
+
+
+   /signal1
+   /signal2
+       The two signal notification channels of an SPU.  These  are  read-write
+       files  that  operate  on  a 32 bit word.  Writing to one of these files
+       triggers an interrupt on the SPU. The  value  writting  to  the  signal
+       files can be read from the SPU through a channel read or from host user
+       space through the file.  After the value has been read by the  SPU,  it
+       is  reset  to zero.  The possible operations on an open signal1 or sig-
+       nal2 file are:
+
+       read(2)
+              If a count smaller than four is requested, read returns  -1  and
+              sets errno to EINVAL.  Otherwise, a four byte value is placed in
+              the data buffer, containing the current value of  the  specified
+              signal notification register.
+
+       write(2)
+              If  a count smaller than four is requested, write returns -1 and
+              sets errno to EINVAL.  Otherwise, a four byte  value  is  copied
+              from the data buffer, updating the value of the specified signal
+              notification register.  The signal  notification  register  will
+              either be replaced with the input data or will be updated to the
+              bitwise OR or the old value and the input data, depending on the
+              contents  of  the  signal1_type,  or  signal2_type respectively,
+              file.
+
+
+   /signal1_type
+   /signal2_type
+       These two files change the behavior of the signal1 and signal2  notifi-
+       cation  files.  The  contain  a numerical ASCII string which is read as
+       either "1" or "0".  In mode 0 (overwrite), the  hardware  replaces  the
+       contents of the signal channel with the data that is written to it.  in
+       mode 1 (logical OR), the hardware accumulates the bits that are  subse-
+       quently written to it.  The possible operations on an open signal1_type
+       or signal2_type file are:
+
+       read(2)
+              When the count supplied to the read call  is  shorter  than  the
+              required  length  for the digit plus a newline character, subse-
+              quent reads from the same file descriptor will  result  in  com-
+              pleting  the  string.  When a complete string has been read, all
+              subsequent read operations will return zero bytes and a new file
+              descriptor needs to be opened to read the value again.
+
+       write(2)
+              A write operation on the file results in setting the register to
+              the value given in the string. The string  is  parsed  from  the
+              beginning  to  the first non-numeric character or the end of the
+              buffer.  Subsequent writes to the same file descriptor overwrite
+              the previous setting.

+SPU_RUN(2)                 Linux Programmer's Manual                SPU_RUN(2)
+
+
+
+NAME
+       spu_run - execute an spu context
+
+
+SYNOPSIS
+       #include <sys/spu.h>
+
+       int spu_run(int fd, unsigned int *npc, unsigned int *event);
+
+DESCRIPTION
+       The  spu_run system call is used on PowerPC machines that implement the
+       Cell Broadband Engine Architecture in order to access Synergistic  Pro-
+       cessor  Units  (SPUs).  It  uses the fd that was returned from spu_cre-
+       ate(2) to address a specific SPU context. When the context gets  sched-
+       uled  to a physical SPU, it starts execution at the instruction pointer
+       passed in npc.
+
+       Execution of SPU code happens synchronously, meaning that spu_run  does
+       not  return  while the SPU is still running. If there is a need to exe-
+       cute SPU code in parallel with other code on either  the  main  CPU  or
+       other  SPUs,  you  need to create a new thread of execution first, e.g.
+       using the pthread_create(3) call.
+
+       When spu_run returns, the current value of the SPU instruction  pointer
+       is  written back to npc, so you can call spu_run again without updating
+       the pointers.
+
+       event can be a NULL pointer or point to an extended  status  code  that
+       gets  filled  when spu_run returns. It can be one of the following con-
+       stants:
+
+       SPE_EVENT_DMA_ALIGNMENT
+              A DMA alignment error
+
+       SPE_EVENT_SPE_DATA_SEGMENT
+              A DMA segmentation error
+
+       SPE_EVENT_SPE_DATA_STORAGE
+              A DMA storage error
+
+       If NULL is passed as the event argument, these errors will result in  a
+       signal delivered to the calling process.
+
+RETURN VALUE
+       spu_run  returns the value of the spu_status register or -1 to indicate
+       an error and set errno to one of the error  codes  listed  below.   The
+       spu_status  register  value  contains  a  bit  mask of status codes and
+       optionally a 14 bit code returned from the stop-and-signal  instruction
+       on the SPU. The bit masks for the status codes are:
+
+       0x02   SPU was stopped by stop-and-signal.
+
+       0x04   SPU was stopped by halt.
+
+       0x08   SPU is waiting for a channel.
+
+       0x10   SPU is in single-step mode.
+
+       0x20   SPU has tried to execute an invalid instruction.
+
+       0x40   SPU has tried to access an invalid channel.
+
+       0x3fff0000
+              The  bits  masked with this value contain the code returned from
+              stop-and-signal.
+
+       There are always one or more of the lower eight bits set  or  an  error
+       code is returned from spu_run.
+
+ERRORS
+       EAGAIN or EWOULDBLOCK
+              fd is in non-blocking mode and spu_run would block.
+
+       EBADF  fd is not a valid file descriptor.
+
+       EFAULT npc is not a valid pointer or status is neither NULL nor a valid
+              pointer.
+
+       EINTR  A signal occured while spu_run was in progress.  The  npc  value
+              has  been updated to the new program counter value if necessary.
+
+       EINVAL fd is not a file descriptor returned from spu_create(2).
+
+       ENOMEM Insufficient memory was available to handle a page fault result-
+              ing from an MFC direct memory access.
+
+       ENOSYS the functionality is not provided by the current system, because
+              either the hardware does not provide SPUs or the spufs module is
+              not loaded.
+
+
+NOTES
+       spu_run  is  meant  to  be  used  from  libraries that implement a more
+       abstract interface to SPUs, not to be used from  regular  applications.
+       See  http://www.bsc.es/projects/deepcomputing/linuxoncell/ for the rec-
+       ommended libraries.

+
+
+NAME
+       spu_create - create a new spu context
+
+
+SYNOPSIS
+       #include <sys/types.h>
+       #include <sys/spu.h>
+
+       int spu_create(const char *pathname, int flags, mode_t mode);
+
+DESCRIPTION
+       The  spu_create  system call is used on PowerPC machines that implement
+       the Cell Broadband Engine Architecture in order to  access  Synergistic
+       Processor  Units (SPUs). It creates a new logical context for an SPU in
+       pathname and returns a handle to associated  with  it.   pathname  must
+       point  to  a  non-existing directory in the mount point of the SPU file
+       system (spufs).  When spu_create is successful, a directory  gets  cre-
+       ated on pathname and it is populated with files.
+
+       The  returned  file  handle can only be passed to spu_run(2) or closed,

+hrtimers - subsystem for high-resolution kernel timers
+----------------------------------------------------
+
+This patch introduces a new subsystem for high-resolution kernel timers.
+
+One might ask the question: we already have a timer subsystem
+(kernel/timers.c), why do we need two timer subsystems? After a lot of
+back and forth trying to integrate high-resolution and high-precision
+features into the existing timer framework, and after testing various
+such high-resolution timer implementations in practice, we came to the
+conclusion that the timer wheel code is fundamentally not suitable for
+such an approach. We initially didnt believe this ('there must be a way
+to solve this'), and spent a considerable effort trying to integrate
+things into the timer wheel, but we failed. In hindsight, there are
+several reasons why such integration is hard/impossible:
+
+- the forced handling of low-resolution and high-resolution timers in
+  the same way leads to a lot of compromises, macro magic and #ifdef
+  mess. The timers.c code is very "tightly coded" around jiffies and
+  32-bitness assumptions, and has been honed and micro-optimized for a
+  relatively narrow use case (jiffies in a relatively narrow HZ range)
+  for many years - and thus even small extensions to it easily break
+  the wheel concept, leading to even worse compromises. The timer wheel
+  code is very good and tight code, there's zero problems with it in its
+  current usage - but it is simply not suitable to be extended for
+  high-res timers.
+
+- the unpredictable [O(N)] overhead of cascading leads to delays which
+  necessiate a more complex handling of high resolution timers, which
+  in turn decreases robustness. Such a design still led to rather large
+  timing inaccuracies. Cascading is a fundamental property of the timer
+  wheel concept, it cannot be 'designed out' without unevitably
+  degrading other portions of the timers.c code in an unacceptable way.
+
+- the implementation of the current posix-timer subsystem on top of
+  the timer wheel has already introduced a quite complex handling of
+  the required readjusting of absolute CLOCK_REALTIME timers at
+  settimeofday or NTP time - further underlying our experience by
+  example: that the timer wheel data structure is too rigid for high-res
+  timers.
+
+- the timer wheel code is most optimal for use cases which can be
+  identified as "timeouts". Such timeouts are usually set up to cover
+  error conditions in various I/O paths, such as networking and block
+  I/O. The vast majority of those timers never expire and are rarely
+  recascaded because the expected correct event arrives in time so they
+  can be removed from the timer wheel before any further processing of
+  them becomes necessary. Thus the users of these timeouts can accept
+  the granularity and precision tradeoffs of the timer wheel, and
+  largely expect the timer subsystem to have near-zero overhead.
+  Accurate timing for them is not a core purpose - in fact most of the
+  timeout values used are ad-hoc. For them it is at most a necessary
+  evil to guarantee the processing of actual timeout completions
+  (because most of the timeouts are deleted before completion), which
+  should thus be as cheap and unintrusive as possible.
+
+The primary users of precision timers are user-space applications that
+utilize nanosleep, posix-timers and itimer interfaces. Also, in-kernel
+users like drivers and subsystems which require precise timed events
+(e.g. multimedia) can benefit from the availability of a seperate
+high-resolution timer subsystem as well.
+
+While this subsystem does not offer high-resolution clock sources just
+yet, the hrtimer subsystem can be easily extended with high-resolution
+clock capabilities, and patches for that exist and are maturing quickly.
+The increasing demand for realtime and multimedia applications along
+with other potential users for precise timers gives another reason to
+separate the "timeout" and "precise timer" subsystems.
+
+Another potential benefit is that such a seperation allows even more
+special-purpose optimization of the existing timer wheel for the low
+resolution and low precision use cases - once the precision-sensitive
+APIs are separated from the timer wheel and are migrated over to
+hrtimers. E.g. we could decrease the frequency of the timeout subsystem
+from 250 Hz to 100 HZ (or even smaller).
+
+hrtimer subsystem implementation details
+----------------------------------------
+
+the basic design considerations were:
+
+- simplicity
+
+- data structure not bound to jiffies or any other granularity. All the
+  kernel logic works at 64-bit nanoseconds resolution - no compromises.
+
+- simplification of existing, timing related kernel code
+
+another basic requirement was the immediate enqueueing and ordering of
+timers at activation time. After looking at several possible solutions
+such as radix trees and hashes, we chose the red black tree as the basic
+data structure. Rbtrees are available as a library in the kernel and are
+used in various performance-critical areas of e.g. memory management and
+file systems. The rbtree is solely used for time sorted ordering, while
+a separate list is used to give the expiry code fast access to the
+queued timers, without having to walk the rbtree.
+
+(This seperate list is also useful for later when we'll introduce
+high-resolution clocks, where we need seperate pending and expired
+queues while keeping the time-order intact.)
+
+Time-ordered enqueueing is not purely for the purposes of
+high-resolution clocks though, it also simplifies the handling of
+absolute timers based on a low-resolution CLOCK_REALTIME. The existing
+implementation needed to keep an extra list of all armed absolute
+CLOCK_REALTIME timers along with complex locking. In case of
+settimeofday and NTP, all the timers (!) had to be dequeued, the
+time-changing code had to fix them up one by one, and all of them had to
+be enqueued again. The time-ordered enqueueing and the storage of the
+expiry time in absolute time units removes all this complex and poorly
+scaling code from the posix-timer implementation - the clock can simply
+be set without having to touch the rbtree. This also makes the handling
+of posix-timers simpler in general.
+
+The locking and per-CPU behavior of hrtimers was mostly taken from the
+existing timer wheel code, as it is mature and well suited. Sharing code
+was not really a win, due to the different data structures. Also, the
+hrtimer functions now have clearer behavior and clearer names - such as
+hrtimer_try_to_cancel() and hrtimer_cancel() [which are roughly
+equivalent to del_timer() and del_timer_sync()] - so there's no direct
+1:1 mapping between them on the algorithmical level, and thus no real
+potential for code sharing either.
+
+Basic data types: every time value, absolute or relative, is in a
+special nanosecond-resolution type: ktime_t. The kernel-internal
+representation of ktime_t values and operations is implemented via
+macros and inline functions, and can be switched between a "hybrid
+union" type and a plain "scalar" 64bit nanoseconds representation (at
+compile time). The hybrid union type optimizes time conversions on 32bit
+CPUs. This build-time-selectable ktime_t storage format was implemented
+to avoid the performance impact of 64-bit multiplications and divisions
+on 32bit CPUs. Such operations are frequently necessary to convert
+between the storage formats provided by kernel and userspace interfaces
+and the internal time format. (See include/linux/ktime.h for further
+details.)
+
+hrtimers - rounding of timer values
+-----------------------------------
+
+the hrtimer code will round timer events to lower-resolution clocks
+because it has to. Otherwise it will do no artificial rounding at all.
+
+one question is, what resolution value should be returned to the user by
+the clock_getres() interface. This will return whatever real resolution
+a given clock has - be it low-res, high-res, or artificially-low-res.
+
+hrtimers - testing and verification
+----------------------------------
+
+We used the high-resolution clock subsystem ontop of hrtimers to verify
+the hrtimer implementation details in praxis, and we also ran the posix
+timer tests in order to ensure specification compliance. We also ran
+tests on low-resolution clocks.
+
+The hrtimer patch converts the following kernel functionality to use
+hrtimers:
+
+ - nanosleep
+ - itimers
+ - posix-timers
+
+The conversion of nanosleep and posix-timers enabled the unification of
+nanosleep and clock_nanosleep.
+
+The code was successfully compiled for the following platforms:
+
+ i386, x86_64, ARM, PPC, PPC64, IA64
+
+The code was run-tested on the following platforms:
+
+ i386(UP/SMP), x86_64(UP/SMP), ARM, PPC
+
+hrtimers were also integrated into the -rt tree, along with a
+hrtimers-based high-resolution clock implementation, so the hrtimers
+code got a healthy amount of testing and use in practice.

    Two kernels need to be built in order to get this feature working.
+   Following are the steps to properly configure the two kernels specific
+   to kexec and kdump features:
 
-  A) First kernel:
+  A) First kernel or regular kernel:
+  ----------------------------------
    a) Enable "kexec system call" feature (in Processor type and features).
-        CONFIG_KEXEC=y
-   b) This kernel's physical load address should be the default value of
-      0x100000 (0x100000, 1 MB) (in Processor type and features).
-        CONFIG_PHYSICAL_START=0x100000
-   c) Enable "sysfs file system support" (in Pseudo filesystems).
-        CONFIG_SYSFS=y
+      CONFIG_KEXEC=y
+   b) Enable "sysfs file system support" (in Pseudo filesystems).
+      CONFIG_SYSFS=y
+   c) make
    d) Boot into first kernel with the command line parameter "crashkernel=Y@X".
       Use appropriate values for X and Y. Y denotes how much memory to reserve
-      for the second kernel, and X denotes at what physical address the reserved
-      memory section starts. For example: "crashkernel=64M@16M".
-
-  B) Second kernel:
-   a) Enable "kernel crash dumps" feature (in Processor type and features).
-        CONFIG_CRASH_DUMP=y
-   b) Specify a suitable value for "Physical address where the kernel is
-      loaded" (in Processor type and features). Typically this value
-      should be same as X (See option d) above, e.g., 16 MB or 0x1000000.
-        CONFIG_PHYSICAL_START=0x1000000
-   c) Enable "/proc/vmcore support" (Optional, in Pseudo filesystems).
-        CONFIG_PROC_VMCORE=y
-   d) Disable SMP support and build a UP kernel (Until it is fixed).
-        CONFIG_SMP=n
-   e) Enable "Local APIC support on uniprocessors".
-        CONFIG_X86_UP_APIC=y
-   f) Enable "IO-APIC support on uniprocessors"
-        CONFIG_X86_UP_IOAPIC=y
-
-  Note:   i) Options a) and b) depend upon "Configure standard kernel features
-             (for small systems)" (under General setup).
-         ii) Option a) also depends on CONFIG_HIGHMEM (under Processor
-                type and features).
-        iii) Both option a) and b) are under "Processor type and features".
-
-3) Boot into the first kernel. You are now ready to try out kexec-based crash
-   dumps.
-
-4) Load the second kernel to be booted using:
+      for the second kernel, and X denotes at what physical address the
+      reserved memory section starts. For example: "crashkernel=64M@16M".
+
+
+  B) Second kernel or dump capture kernel:
+  ---------------------------------------
+   a) For i386 architecture enable Highmem support
+      CONFIG_HIGHMEM=y
+   b) Enable "kernel crash dumps" feature (under "Processor type and features")
+      CONFIG_CRASH_DUMP=y
+   c) Make sure a suitable value for "Physical address where the kernel is
+      loaded" (under "Processor type and features"). By default this value
+      is 0x1000000 (16MB) and it should be same as X (See option d above),
+      e.g., 16 MB or 0x1000000.
+      CONFIG_PHYSICAL_START=0x1000000
+   d) Enable "/proc/vmcore support" (Optional, under "Pseudo filesystems").
+      CONFIG_PROC_VMCORE=y
+
+3) After booting to regular kernel or first kernel, load the second kernel
+   using the following command:
 
    kexec -p <second-kernel> --args-linux --elf32-core-headers
-   --append="root=<root-dev> init 1 irqpoll"
-
-   Note: i) <second-kernel> has to be a vmlinux image. bzImage will not work,
-            as of now.
-        ii) By default ELF headers are stored in ELF64 format. Option
-            --elf32-core-headers forces generation of ELF32 headers. gdb can
-            not open ELF64 headers on 32 bit systems. So creating ELF32
-            headers can come handy for users who have got non-PAE systems and
-            hence have memory less than 4GB.
-       iii) Specify "irqpoll" as command line parameter. This reduces driver
-            initialization failures in second kernel due to shared interrupts.
-        iv) <root-dev> needs to be specified in a format corresponding to
-            the root device name in the output of mount command.
-         v) If you have built the drivers required to mount root file
-            system as modules in <second-kernel>, then, specify
-            --initrd=<initrd-for-second-kernel>.
-
-5) System reboots into the second kernel when a panic occurs. A module can be
-   written to force the panic or "ALT-SysRq-c" can be used initiate a crash
-   dump for testing purposes.
-
-6) Write out the dump file using
+   --append="root=<root-dev> init 1 irqpoll maxcpus=1"
+
+   Notes:
+   ======
+     i) <second-kernel> has to be a vmlinux image ie uncompressed elf image.
+        bzImage will not work, as of now.
+    ii) --args-linux has to be speicfied as if kexec it loading an elf image,
+        it needs to know that the arguments supplied are of linux type.
+   iii) By default ELF headers are stored in ELF64 format to support systems
+        with more than 4GB memory. Option --elf32-core-headers forces generation
+        of ELF32 headers. The reason for this option being, as of now gdb can
+        not open vmcore file with ELF64 headers on a 32 bit systems. So ELF32
+        headers can be used if one has non-PAE systems and hence memory less
+        than 4GB.
+    iv) Specify "irqpoll" as command line parameter. This reduces driver
+         initialization failures in second kernel due to shared interrupts.
+     v) <root-dev> needs to be specified in a format corresponding to the root
+        device name in the output of mount command.
+    vi) If you have built the drivers required to mount root file system as
+        modules in <second-kernel>, then, specify
+        --initrd=<initrd-for-second-kernel>.
+   vii) Specify maxcpus=1 as, if during first kernel run, if panic happens on
+        non-boot cpus, second kernel doesn't seem to be boot up all the cpus.
+        The other option is to always built the second kernel without SMP
+        support ie CONFIG_SMP=n
+
+4) After successfully loading the second kernel as above, if a panic occurs
+   system reboots into the second kernel. A module can be written to force
+   the panic or "ALT-SysRq-c" can be used initiate a crash dump for testing
+   purposes.
+
+5) Once the second kernel has booted, write out the dump file using
 
    cp /proc/vmcore <dump-file>

+Boot time assembly of degraded/dirty arrays
+-------------------------------------------
+
+If a raid5 or raid6 array is both dirty and degraded, it could have
+undetectable data corruption.  This is because the fact that it is
+'dirty' means that the parity cannot be trusted, and the fact that it
+is degraded means that some datablocks are missing and cannot reliably
+be reconstructed (due to no parity).
+
+For this reason, md will normally refuse to start such an array.  This
+requires the sysadmin to take action to explicitly start the array
+desipite possible corruption.  This is normally done with
+   mdadm --assemble --force ....
+
+This option is not really available if the array has the root
+filesystem on it.  In order to support this booting from such an
+array, md supports a module parameter "start_dirty_degraded" which,
+when set to 1, bypassed the checks and will allows dirty degraded
+arrays to be started.

+Generic Mutex Subsystem
+
+started by Ingo Molnar <mingo@redhat.com>
+
+  "Why on earth do we need a new mutex subsystem, and what's wrong
+   with semaphores?"
+
+firstly, there's nothing wrong with semaphores. But if the simpler
+mutex semantics are sufficient for your code, then there are a couple
+of advantages of mutexes:
+
+ - 'struct mutex' is smaller on most architectures: .e.g on x86,
+   'struct semaphore' is 20 bytes, 'struct mutex' is 16 bytes.
+   A smaller structure size means less RAM footprint, and better
+   CPU-cache utilization.
+
+ - tighter code. On x86 i get the following .text sizes when
+   switching all mutex-alike semaphores in the kernel to the mutex
+   subsystem:
+
+        text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
+     3280380  868188  396860 4545428  455b94 vmlinux-semaphore
+     3255329  865296  396732 4517357  44eded vmlinux-mutex
+
+   that's 25051 bytes of code saved, or a 0.76% win - off the hottest
+   codepaths of the kernel. (The .data savings are 2892 bytes, or 0.33%)
+   Smaller code means better icache footprint, which is one of the
+   major optimization goals in the Linux kernel currently.
+
+ - the mutex subsystem is slightly faster and has better scalability for
+   contended workloads. On an 8-way x86 system, running a mutex-based
+   kernel and testing creat+unlink+close (of separate, per-task files)
+   in /tmp with 16 parallel tasks, the average number of ops/sec is:
+
+    Semaphores:                        Mutexes:
+
+    $ ./test-mutex V 16 10             $ ./test-mutex V 16 10
+    8 CPUs, running 16 tasks.          8 CPUs, running 16 tasks.
+    checking VFS performance.          checking VFS performance.
+    avg loops/sec:      34713          avg loops/sec:      84153
+    CPU utilization:    63%            CPU utilization:    22%
+
+   i.e. in this workload, the mutex based kernel was 2.4 times faster
+   than the semaphore based kernel, _and_ it also had 2.8 times less CPU
+   utilization. (In terms of 'ops per CPU cycle', the semaphore kernel
+   performed 551 ops/sec per 1% of CPU time used, while the mutex kernel
+   performed 3825 ops/sec per 1% of CPU time used - it was 6.9 times
+   more efficient.)
+
+   the scalability difference is visible even on a 2-way P4 HT box:
+
+    Semaphores:                        Mutexes:
+
+    $ ./test-mutex V 16 10             $ ./test-mutex V 16 10
+    4 CPUs, running 16 tasks.          8 CPUs, running 16 tasks.
+    checking VFS performance.          checking VFS performance.
+    avg loops/sec:      127659         avg loops/sec:      181082
+    CPU utilization:    100%           CPU utilization:    34%
+
+   (the straight performance advantage of mutexes is 41%, the per-cycle
+    efficiency of mutexes is 4.1 times better.)
+
+ - there are no fastpath tradeoffs, the mutex fastpath is just as tight
+   as the semaphore fastpath. On x86, the locking fastpath is 2
+   instructions:
+
+    c0377ccb <mutex_lock>:
+    c0377ccb:       f0 ff 08                lock decl (%eax)
+    c0377cce:       78 0e                   js     c0377cde <.text.lock.mutex>
+    c0377cd0:       c3                      ret
+
+   the unlocking fastpath is equally tight:
+
+    c0377cd1 <mutex_unlock>:
+    c0377cd1:       f0 ff 00                lock incl (%eax)
+    c0377cd4:       7e 0f                   jle    c0377ce5 <.text.lock.mutex+0x7>
+    c0377cd6:       c3                      ret
+
+ - 'struct mutex' semantics are well-defined and are enforced if
+   CONFIG_DEBUG_MUTEXES is turned on. Semaphores on the other hand have
+   virtually no debugging code or instrumentation. The mutex subsystem
+   checks and enforces the following rules:
+
+   * - only one task can hold the mutex at a time
+   * - only the owner can unlock the mutex
+   * - multiple unlocks are not permitted
+   * - recursive locking is not permitted
+   * - a mutex object must be initialized via the API
+   * - a mutex object must not be initialized via memset or copying
+   * - task may not exit with mutex held
+   * - memory areas where held locks reside must not be freed
+   * - held mutexes must not be reinitialized
+   * - mutexes may not be used in irq contexts
+
+   furthermore, there are also convenience features in the debugging
+   code:
+
+   * - uses symbolic names of mutexes, whenever they are printed in debug output
+   * - point-of-acquire tracking, symbolic lookup of function names
+   * - list of all locks held in the system, printout of them
+   * - owner tracking
+   * - detects self-recursing locks and prints out all relevant info
+   * - detects multi-task circular deadlocks and prints out all affected
+   *   locks and tasks (and only those tasks)
+
+Disadvantages
+-------------
+
+The stricter mutex API means you cannot use mutexes the same way you
+can use semaphores: e.g. they cannot be used from an interrupt context,
+nor can they be unlocked from a different context that which acquired
+it. [ I'm not aware of any other (e.g. performance) disadvantages from
+using mutexes at the moment, please let me know if you find any. ]
+
+Implementation of mutexes
+-------------------------
+
+'struct mutex' is the new mutex type, defined in include/linux/mutex.h
+and implemented in kernel/mutex.c. It is a counter-based mutex with a
+spinlock and a wait-list. The counter has 3 states: 1 for "unlocked",
+0 for "locked" and negative numbers (usually -1) for "locked, potential
+waiters queued".
+
+the APIs of 'struct mutex' have been streamlined:
+
+ DEFINE_MUTEX(name);
+
+ mutex_init(mutex);
+
+ void mutex_lock(struct mutex *lock);
+ int  mutex_lock_interruptible(struct mutex *lock);
+ int  mutex_trylock(struct mutex *lock);
+ void mutex_unlock(struct mutex *lock);
+ int  mutex_is_locked(struct mutex *lock);

+
+               Current document maintainer:
+           Linas Vepstas <linas@austin.ibm.com>
+
+
+Some PCI bus controllers are able to detect certain "hard" PCI errors
+on the bus, such as parity errors on the data and address busses, as
+well as SERR and PERR errors.  These chipsets are then able to disable
+I/O to/from the affected device, so that, for example, a bad DMA
+address doesn't end up corrupting system memory.  These same chipsets
+are also able to reset the affected PCI device, and return it to
+working condition.  This document describes a generic API form
+performing error recovery.
+
+The core idea is that after a PCI error has been detected, there must
+be a way for the kernel to coordinate with all affected device drivers
+so that the pci card can be made operational again, possibly after
+performing a full electrical #RST of the PCI card.  The API below
+provides a generic API for device drivers to be notified of PCI
+errors, and to be notified of, and respond to, a reset sequence.
+
+Preliminary sketch of API, cut-n-pasted-n-modified email from
+Ben Herrenschmidt, circa 5 april 2005
+
+The error recovery API support is exposed to the driver in the form of
+a structure of function pointers pointed to by a new field in struct
+pci_driver. The absence of this pointer in pci_driver denotes an
+"non-aware" driver, behaviour on these is platform dependant.
+Platforms like ppc64 can try to simulate pci hotplug remove/add.
+
+The definition of "pci_error_token" is not covered here. It is based on
+Seto's work on the synchronous error detection. We still need to define
+functions for extracting infos out of an opaque error token. This is
+separate from this API.
+
+This structure has the form:
+
+struct pci_error_handlers
+{
+        int (*error_detected)(struct pci_dev *dev, pci_error_token error);
+        int (*mmio_enabled)(struct pci_dev *dev);
+        int (*resume)(struct pci_dev *dev);
+        int (*link_reset)(struct pci_dev *dev);
+        int (*slot_reset)(struct pci_dev *dev);
+};
+
+A driver doesn't have to implement all of these callbacks. The
+only mandatory one is error_detected(). If a callback is not
+implemented, the corresponding feature is considered unsupported.
+For example, if mmio_enabled() and resume() aren't there, then the
+driver is assumed as not doing any direct recovery and requires
+a reset. If link_reset() is not implemented, the card is assumed as
+not caring about link resets, in which case, if recover is supported,
+the core can try recover (but not slot_reset() unless it really did
+reset the slot). If slot_reset() is not supported, link_reset() can
+be called instead on a slot reset.
+
+At first, the call will always be :
+
+        1) error_detected()
+
+        Error detected. This is sent once after an error has been detected. At
+this point, the device might not be accessible anymore depending on the
+platform (the slot will be isolated on ppc64). The driver may already
+have "noticed" the error because of a failing IO, but this is the proper
+"synchronisation point", that is, it gives a chance to the driver to
+cleanup, waiting for pending stuff (timers, whatever, etc...) to
+complete; it can take semaphores, schedule, etc... everything but touch
+the device. Within this function and after it returns, the driver
+shouldn't do any new IOs. Called in task context. This is sort of a
+"quiesce" point. See note about interrupts at the end of this doc.
+
+        Result codes:
+                - PCIERR_RESULT_CAN_RECOVER:
+                  Driever returns this if it thinks it might be able to recover
+                  the HW by just banging IOs or if it wants to be given
+                  a chance to extract some diagnostic informations (see
+                  below).
+                - PCIERR_RESULT_NEED_RESET:
+                  Driver returns this if it thinks it can't recover unless the
+                  slot is reset.
+                - PCIERR_RESULT_DISCONNECT:
+                  Return this if driver thinks it won't recover at all,
+                  (this will detach the driver ? or just leave it
+                  dangling ? to be decided)
+
+So at this point, we have called error_detected() for all drivers
+on the segment that had the error. On ppc64, the slot is isolated. What
+happens now typically depends on the result from the drivers. If all
+drivers on the segment/slot return PCIERR_RESULT_CAN_RECOVER, we would
+re-enable IOs on the slot (or do nothing special if the platform doesn't
+isolate slots) and call 2). If not and we can reset slots, we go to 4),
+if neither, we have a dead slot. If it's an hotplug slot, we might
+"simulate" reset by triggering HW unplug/replug though.
+
+>>> Current ppc64 implementation assumes that a device driver will
+>>> *not* schedule or semaphore in this routine; the current ppc64
+>>> implementation uses one kernel thread to notify all devices;
+>>> thus, of one device sleeps/schedules, all devices are affected.
+>>> Doing better requires complex multi-threaded logic in the error
+>>> recovery implementation (e.g. waiting for all notification threads
+>>> to "join" before proceeding with recovery.)  This seems excessively
+>>> complex and not worth implementing.
+
+>>> The current ppc64 implementation doesn't much care if the device
+>>> attempts i/o at this point, or not.  I/O's will fail, returning
+>>> a value of 0xff on read, and writes will be dropped. If the device
+>>> driver attempts more than 10K I/O's to a frozen adapter, it will
+>>> assume that the device driver has gone into an infinite loop, and
+>>> it will panic the the kernel.
+
+        2) mmio_enabled()
+
+        This is the "early recovery" call. IOs are allowed again, but DMA is
+not (hrm... to be discussed, I prefer not), with some restrictions. This
+is NOT a callback for the driver to start operations again, only to
+peek/poke at the device, extract diagnostic information, if any, and
+eventually do things like trigger a device local reset or some such,
+but not restart operations. This is sent if all drivers on a segment
+agree that they can try to recover and no automatic link reset was
+performed by the HW. If the platform can't just re-enable IOs without
+a slot reset or a link reset, it doesn't call this callback and goes
+directly to 3) or 4). All IOs should be done _synchronously_ from
+within this callback, errors triggered by them will be returned via
+the normal pci_check_whatever() api, no new error_detected() callback
+will be issued due to an error happening here. However, such an error
+might cause IOs to be re-blocked for the whole segment, and thus
+invalidate the recovery that other devices on the same segment might
+have done, forcing the whole segment into one of the next states,
+that is link reset or slot reset.
+
+        Result codes:
+                - PCIERR_RESULT_RECOVERED
+                  Driver returns this if it thinks the device is fully
+                  functionnal and thinks it is ready to start
+                  normal driver operations again. There is no
+                  guarantee that the driver will actually be
+                  allowed to proceed, as another driver on the
+                  same segment might have failed and thus triggered a
+                  slot reset on platforms that support it.
+
+                - PCIERR_RESULT_NEED_RESET
+                  Driver returns this if it thinks the device is not
+                  recoverable in it's current state and it needs a slot
+                  reset to proceed.
+
+                - PCIERR_RESULT_DISCONNECT
+                  Same as above. Total failure, no recovery even after
+                  reset driver dead. (To be defined more precisely)
+
+>>> The current ppc64 implementation does not implement this callback.
+
+        3) link_reset()
+
+        This is called after the link has been reset. This is typically
+a PCI Express specific state at this point and is done whenever a
+non-fatal error has been detected that can be "solved" by resetting
+the link. This call informs the driver of the reset and the driver
+should check if the device appears to be in working condition.
+This function acts a bit like 2) mmio_enabled(), in that the driver
+is not supposed to restart normal driver I/O operations right away.
+Instead, it should just "probe" the device to check it's recoverability
+status. If all is right, then the core will call resume() once all
+drivers have ack'd link_reset().
+
+        Result codes:
+                (identical to mmio_enabled)
+
+>>> The current ppc64 implementation does not implement this callback.
+
+        4) slot_reset()
+
+        This is called after the slot has been soft or hard reset by the
+platform.  A soft reset consists of asserting the adapter #RST line
+and then restoring the PCI BARs and PCI configuration header. If the
+platform supports PCI hotplug, then it might instead perform a hard
+reset by toggling power on the slot off/on. This call gives drivers
+the chance to re-initialize the hardware (re-download firmware, etc.),
+but drivers shouldn't restart normal I/O processing operations at
+this point.  (See note about interrupts; interrupts aren't guaranteed
+to be delivered until the resume() callback has been called). If all
+device drivers report success on this callback, the patform will call
+resume() to complete the error handling and let the driver restart
+normal I/O processing.
+
+A driver can still return a critical failure for this function if
+it can't get the device operational after reset.  If the platform
+previously tried a soft reset, it migh now try a hard reset (power
+cycle) and then call slot_reset() again.  It the device still can't
+be recovered, there is nothing more that can be done;  the platform
+will typically report a "permanent failure" in such a case.  The
+device will be considered "dead" in this case.
+
+        Result codes:
+                - PCIERR_RESULT_DISCONNECT
+                Same as above.
+
+>>> The current ppc64 implementation does not try a power-cycle reset
+>>> if the driver returned PCIERR_RESULT_DISCONNECT. However, it should.
+
+        5) resume()
+
+        This is called if all drivers on the segment have returned
+PCIERR_RESULT_RECOVERED from one of the 3 prevous callbacks.
+That basically tells the driver to restart activity, tht everything
+is back and running. No result code is taken into account here. If
+a new error happens, it will restart a new error handling process.
+
+That's it. I think this covers all the possibilities. The way those
+callbacks are called is platform policy. A platform with no slot reset
+capability for example may want to just "ignore" drivers that can't
+recover (disconnect them) and try to let other cards on the same segment
+recover. Keep in mind that in most real life cases, though, there will
+be only one driver per segment.
+
+Now, there is a note about interrupts. If you get an interrupt and your
+device is dead or has been isolated, there is a problem :)
+
+After much thinking, I decided to leave that to the platform. That is,
+the recovery API only precies that:
+
+ - There is no guarantee that interrupt delivery can proceed from any
+device on the segment starting from the error detection and until the
+restart callback is sent, at which point interrupts are expected to be
+fully operational.
+
+ - There is no guarantee that interrupt delivery is stopped, that is, ad
+river that gets an interrupts after detecting an error, or that detects
+and error within the interrupt handler such that it prevents proper
+ack'ing of the interrupt (and thus removal of the source) should just
+return IRQ_NOTHANDLED. It's up to the platform to deal with taht
+condition, typically by masking the irq source during the duration of
+the error handling. It is expected that the platform "knows" which
+interrupts are routed to error-management capable slots and can deal
+with temporarily disabling that irq number during error processing (this
+isn't terribly complex). That means some IRQ latency for other devices
+sharing the interrupt, but there is simply no other way. High end
+platforms aren't supposed to share interrupts between many devices
+anyway :)
