+Description:
+                Each batman node only maintains information about its
+                own local neighborhood, therefore generating graphs
+                showing the topology of the entire mesh is not easily
+                feasible without having a central instance to collect
+                the local topologies from all nodes. This file allows
+                to activate the collecting (server) mode.

+The last three lines of the rcu_preempt section appear only in

+o       "qlen" is the number of RCU callbacks currently waiting either
+        for an RCU grace period or waiting to be invoked.  This is the
+        only field present for rcu_sched and rcu_bh, due to the
+        short-circuiting of grace period in those two cases.
+o       "gp" is the number of grace periods that have completed.
+o       "g197/p197/c197" displays the grace-period state, with the
+        "g" number being the number of grace periods that have started
+        (mod 256), the "p" number being the number of grace periods
+        that the CPU has responded to (also mod 256), and the "c"
+        number being the number of grace periods that have completed
+        (once again mode 256).
+        Why have both "gp" and "g"?  Because the data flowing into
+        "gp" is only present in a CONFIG_RCU_TRACE kernel.
+o       "tasks" is a set of bits.  The first bit is "T" if there are
+        currently tasks that have recently blocked within an RCU
+        read-side critical section, the second bit is "N" if any of the
+        aforementioned tasks are blocking the current RCU grace period,
+        and the third bit is "E" if any of the aforementioned tasks are
+        blocking the current expedited grace period.  Each bit is "."
+        if the corresponding condition does not hold.
+o       "ttb" is a single bit.  It is "B" if any of the blocked tasks
+        need to be priority boosted and "." otherwise.
+o       "btg" indicates whether boosting has been carried out during
+        the current grace period, with "exp" indicating that boosting
+        is in progress for an expedited grace period, "no" indicating
+        that boosting has not yet started for a normal grace period,
+        "begun" indicating that boosting has bebug for a normal grace
+        period, and "done" indicating that boosting has completed for
+        a normal grace period.
+o       "ntb" is the total number of tasks subjected to RCU priority boosting
+        periods since boot.
+o       "neb" is the number of expedited grace periods that have had
+        to resort to RCU priority boosting since boot.

+Software emulation of deprecated SWP instruction (CONFIG_SWP_EMULATE)
+---------------------------------------------------------------------
+ARMv6 architecture deprecates use of the SWP/SWPB instructions, and recommeds
+moving to the load-locked/store-conditional instructions LDREX and STREX.
+ARMv7 multiprocessing extensions introduce the ability to disable these
+instructions, triggering an undefined instruction exception when executed.
+Trapped instructions are emulated using an LDREX/STREX or LDREXB/STREXB
+sequence. If a memory access fault (an abort) occurs, a segmentation fault is
+signalled to the triggering process.
+/proc/cpu/swp_emulation holds some statistics/information, including the PID of
+the last process to trigger the emulation to be invocated. For example:
+---
+Emulated SWP:           12
+Emulated SWPB:          0
+Aborted SWP{B}:         1
+Last process:           314
+---
+NOTE: when accessing uncached shared regions, LDREX/STREX rely on an external
+transaction monitoring block called a global monitor to maintain update
+atomicity. If your system does not implement a global monitor, this option can
+cause programs that perform SWP operations to uncached memory to deadlock, as
+the STREX operation will always fail.

+What is udlfb?
+===============
+This is a driver for DisplayLink USB 2.0 era graphics chips.
+DisplayLink chips provide simple hline/blit operations with some compression,
+pairing that with a hardware framebuffer (16MB) on the other end of the
+USB wire.  That hardware framebuffer is able to drive the VGA, DVI, or HDMI
+monitor with no CPU involvement until a pixel has to change.
+The CPU or other local resource does all the rendering; optinally compares the
+result with a local shadow of the remote hardware framebuffer to identify
+the minimal set of pixels that have changed; and compresses and sends those
+pixels line-by-line via USB bulk transfers.
+Because of the efficiency of bulk transfers and a protocol on top that
+does not require any acks - the effect is very low latency that
+can support surprisingly high resolutions with good performance for
+non-gaming and non-video applications.
+Mode setting, EDID read, etc are other bulk or control transfers. Mode
+setting is very flexible - able to set nearly arbitrary modes from any timing.
+Advantages of USB graphics in general:
+ * Ability to add a nearly arbitrary number of displays to any USB 2.0
+   capable system. On Linux, number of displays is limited by fbdev interface
+   (FB_MAX is currently 32). Of course, all USB devices on the same
+   host controller share the same 480Mbs USB 2.0 interface.
+Advantages of supporting DisplayLink chips with kernel framebuffer interface:
+ * The actual hardware functionality of DisplayLink chips matches nearly
+   one-to-one with the fbdev interface, making the driver quite small and
+   tight relative to the functionality it provides.
+ * X servers and other applications can use the standard fbdev interface
+   from user mode to talk to the device, without needing to know anything
+   about USB or DisplayLink's protocol at all. A "displaylink" X driver
+   and a slightly modified "fbdev" X driver are among those that already do.
+Disadvantages:
+ * Fbdev's mmap interface assumes a real hardware framebuffer is mapped.
+   In the case of USB graphics, it is just an allocated (virtual) buffer.
+   Writes need to be detected and encoded into USB bulk transfers by the CPU.
+   Accurate damage/changed area notifications work around this problem.
+   In the future, hopefully fbdev will be enhanced with an small standard
+   interface to allow mmap clients to report damage, for the benefit
+   of virtual or remote framebuffers.
+ * Fbdev does not arbitrate client ownership of the framebuffer well.
+ * Fbcon assumes the first framebuffer it finds should be consumed for console.
+ * It's not clear what the future of fbdev is, given the rise of KMS/DRM.
+How to use it?
+==============
+Udlfb, when loaded as a module, will match against all USB 2.0 generation
+DisplayLink chips (Alex and Ollie family). It will then attempt to read the EDID
+of the monitor, and set the best common mode between the DisplayLink device
+and the monitor's capabilities.
+If the DisplayLink device is successful, it will paint a "green screen" which
+means that from a hardware and fbdev software perspective, everything is good.
+At that point, a /dev/fb? interface will be present for user-mode applications
+to open and begin writing to the framebuffer of the DisplayLink device using
+standard fbdev calls.  Note that if mmap() is used, by default the user mode
+application must send down damage notifcations to trigger repaints of the
+changed regions.  Alternatively, udlfb can be recompiled with experimental
+defio support enabled, to support a page-fault based detection mechanism
+that can work without explicit notifcation.
+The most common client of udlfb is xf86-video-displaylink or a modified
+xf86-video-fbdev X server. These servers have no real DisplayLink specific
+code. They write to the standard framebuffer interface and rely on udlfb
+to do its thing.  The one extra feature they have is the ability to report
+rectangles from the X DAMAGE protocol extension down to udlfb via udlfb's
+damage interface (which will hopefully be standardized for all virtual
+framebuffers that need damage info). These damage notifications allow
+udlfb to efficiently process the changed pixels.
+Module Options
+==============
+Special configuration for udlfb is usually unnecessary. There are a few
+options, however.
+From the command line, pass options to modprobe
+modprobe udlfb defio=1 console=1
+Or for permanent option, create file like /etc/modprobe.d/options with text
+options udlfb defio=1 console=1
+Accepted options:
+fb_defio        Make use of the fb_defio (CONFIG_FB_DEFERRED_IO) kernel
+                module to track changed areas of the framebuffer by page faults.
+                Standard fbdev applications that use mmap but that do not
+                report damage, may be able to work with this enabled.
+                Disabled by default because of overhead and other issues.
+console         Allow fbcon to attach to udlfb provided framebuffers. This
+                is disabled by default because fbcon will aggressively consume
+                the first framebuffer it finds, which isn't usually what the
+                user wants in the case of USB displays.
+Sysfs Attributes
+================
+Udlfb creates several files in /sys/class/graphics/fb?
+Where ? is the sequential framebuffer id of the particular DisplayLink device
+edid                    If a valid EDID blob is written to this file (typically
+                        by a udev rule), then udlfb will use this EDID as a
+                        backup in case reading the actual EDID of the monitor
+                        attached to the DisplayLink device fails. This is
+                        especially useful for fixed panels, etc. that cannot
+                        communicate their capabilities via EDID. Reading
+                        this file returns the current EDID of the attached
+                        monitor (or last backup value written). This is
+                        useful to get the EDID of the attached monitor,
+                        which can be passed to utilities like parse-edid.
+metrics_bytes_rendered  32-bit count of pixel bytes rendered
+metrics_bytes_identical 32-bit count of how many of those bytes were found to be
+                        unchanged, based on a shadow framebuffer check
+metrics_bytes_sent      32-bit count of how many bytes were transferred over
+                        USB to communicate the resulting changed pixels to the
+                        hardware. Includes compression and protocol overhead
+metrics_cpu_kcycles_used 32-bit count of CPU cycles used in processing the
+                        above pixels (in thousands of cycles).
+metrics_reset           Write-only. Any write to this file resets all metrics
+                        above to zero.  Note that the 32-bit counters above
+                        roll over very quickly. To get reliable results, design
+                        performance tests to start and finish in a very short
+                        period of time (one minute or less is safe).

+in new free programs; and that you know you can do these things.
+  To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid
+anyone to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender the rights.
+These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for you if you
+distribute copies of the software, or if you modify it.
+  For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether
+gratis or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that
+you have.  You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the
+source code.  And you must show them these terms so they know their
+rights.
+  We protect your rights with two steps: (1) copyright the software, and
+(2) offer you this license which gives you legal permission to copy,
+distribute and/or modify the software.
+  Also, for each author's protection and ours, we want to make certain
+that everyone understands that there is no warranty for this free
+software.  If the software is modified by someone else and passed on, we
+want its recipients to know that what they have is not the original, so
+that any problems introduced by others will not reflect on the original
+authors' reputations.
+  Finally, any free program is threatened constantly by software
+patents.  We wish to avoid the danger that redistributors of a free
+program will individually obtain patent licenses, in effect making the
+program proprietary.  To prevent this, we have made it clear that any
+patent must be licensed for everyone's free use or not licensed at all.
+  The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and
+modification follow.
+                   GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
+   TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION
+  0. This License applies to any program or other work which contains
+a notice placed by the copyright holder saying it may be distributed
+under the terms of this General Public License.  The "Program", below,
+refers to any such program or work, and a "work based on the Program"
+means either the Program or any derivative work under copyright law:
+that is to say, a work containing the Program or a portion of it,
+either verbatim or with modifications and/or translated into another
+language.  (Hereinafter, translation is included without limitation in
+the term "modification".)  Each licensee is addressed as "you".
+Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not
+covered by this License; they are outside its scope.  The act of
+running the Program is not restricted, and the output from the Program
+is covered only if its contents constitute a work based on the
+Program (independent of having been made by running the Program).
+Whether that is true depends on what the Program does.
+  1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Program's
+source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you
+conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate
+copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the
+notices that refer to this License and to the absence of any warranty;
+and give any other recipients of the Program a copy of this License
+along with the Program.
+You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, and
+you may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a fee.
+  2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any portion
+of it, thus forming a work based on the Program, and copy and
+distribute such modifications or work under the terms of Section 1
+above, provided that you also meet all of these conditions:
+    a) You must cause the modified files to carry prominent notices
+    stating that you changed the files and the date of any change.
+    b) You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that in
+    whole or in part contains or is derived from the Program or any
+    part thereof, to be licensed as a whole at no charge to all third
+    parties under the terms of this License.
+    c) If the modified program normally reads commands interactively
+    when run, you must cause it, when started running for such
+    interactive use in the most ordinary way, to print or display an
+    announcement including an appropriate copyright notice and a
+    notice that there is no warranty (or else, saying that you provide
+    a warranty) and that users may redistribute the program under
+    these conditions, and telling the user how to view a copy of this
+    License.  (Exception: if the Program itself is interactive but
+    does not normally print such an announcement, your work based on
+    the Program is not required to print an announcement.)
+These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole.  If
+identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the Program,
+and can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in
+themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those
+sections when you distribute them as separate works.  But when you
+distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a work based
+on the Program, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of
+this License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the
+entire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote it.
+Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest
+your rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to
+exercise the right to control the distribution of derivative or
+collective works based on the Program.
+In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Program
+with the Program (or with a work based on the Program) on a volume of
+a storage or distribution medium does not bring the other work under
+the scope of this License.
+  3. You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based on it,
+under Section 2) in object code or executable form under the terms of
+Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you also do one of the following:
+    a) Accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable
+    source code, which must be distributed under the terms of Sections
+    1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or,
+    b) Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three
+    years, to give any third party, for a charge no more than your
+    cost of physically performing source distribution, a complete
+    machine-readable copy of the corresponding source code, to be
+    distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium
+    customarily used for software interchange; or,
+    c) Accompany it with the information you received as to the offer
+    to distribute corresponding source code.  (This alternative is
+    allowed only for noncommercial distribution and only if you
+    received the program in object code or executable form with such
+    an offer, in accord with Subsection b above.)
+The source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for
+making modifications to it.  For an executable work, complete source
+code means all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any
+associated interface definition files, plus the scripts used to
+control compilation and installation of the executable.  However, as a
+special exception, the source code distributed need not include
+anything that is normally distributed (in either source or binary
+form) with the major components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the
+operating system on which the executable runs, unless that component
+itself accompanies the executable.
+If distribution of executable or object code is made by offering
+access to copy from a designated place, then offering equivalent
+access to copy the source code from the same place counts as
+distribution of the source code, even though third parties are not
+compelled to copy the source along with the object code.
+  4. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Program
+except as expressly provided under this License.  Any attempt
+otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense or distribute the Program is
+void, and will automatically terminate your rights under this License.
+However, parties who have received copies, or rights, from you under
+this License will not have their licenses terminated so long as such
+parties remain in full compliance.
+  5. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not
+signed it.  However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or
+distribute the Program or its derivative works.  These actions are
+prohibited by law if you do not accept this License.  Therefore, by
+modifying or distributing the Program (or any work based on the
+Program), you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so, and
+all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying
+the Program or works based on it.
+  6. Each time you redistribute the Program (or any work based on the
+Program), the recipient automatically receives a license from the
+original licensor to copy, distribute or modify the Program subject to
+these terms and conditions.  You may not impose any further
+restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein.
+You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties to
+this License.
+  7. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent
+infringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent issues),
+conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or
+otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not
+excuse you from the conditions of this License.  If you cannot
+distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this
+License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you
+may not distribute the Program at all.  For example, if a patent
+license would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Program by
+all those who receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then
+the only way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to
+refrain entirely from distribution of the Program.
+If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under
+any particular circumstance, the balance of the section is intended to
+apply and the section as a whole is intended to apply in other
+circumstances.
+It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any
+patents or other property right claims or to contest validity of any
+such claims; this section has the sole purpose of protecting the
+integrity of the free software distribution system, which is
+implemented by public license practices.  Many people have made
+generous contributions to the wide range of software distributed
+through that system in reliance on consistent application of that
+system; it is up to the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing
+to distribute software through any other system and a licensee cannot
+impose that choice.
+This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to
+be a consequence of the rest of this License.
+  8. If the distribution and/or use of the Program is restricted in
+certain countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the
+original copyright holder who places the Program under this License
+may add an explicit geographical distribution limitation excluding
+those countries, so that distribution is permitted only in or among
+countries not thus excluded.  In such case, this License incorporates
+the limitation as if written in the body of this License.
+  9. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions
+of the General Public License from time to time.  Such new versions will
+be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to
+address new problems or concerns.
+Each version is given a distinguishing version number.  If the Program
+specifies a version number of this License which applies to it and "any
+later version", you have the option of following the terms and conditions
+either of that version or of any later version published by the Free
+Software Foundation.  If the Program does not specify a version number of
+this License, you may choose any version ever published by the Free Software
+Foundation.
+  10. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Program into other free
+programs whose distribution conditions are different, write to the author
+to ask for permission.  For software which is copyrighted by the Free
+Software Foundation, write to the Free Software Foundation; we sometimes
+make exceptions for this.  Our decision will be guided by the two goals
+of preserving the free status of all derivatives of our free software and
+of promoting the sharing and reuse of software generally.
+                           NO WARRANTY
+  11. BECAUSE THE PROGRAM IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO WARRANTY
+FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW.  EXCEPT WHEN
+OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES
+PROVIDE THE PROGRAM "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED
+OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF
+MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.  THE ENTIRE RISK AS
+TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM IS WITH YOU.  SHOULD THE
+PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING,
+REPAIR OR CORRECTION.
+  12. IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING
+WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY AND/OR
+REDISTRIBUTE THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES,
+INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING
+OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED
+TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY
+YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER
+PROGRAMS), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE
+POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

+BATMAN-ADV
+----------
+Batman  advanced  is  a new approach to wireless networking which
+does no longer operate on the IP basis. Unlike the batman daemon,
+which  exchanges  information  using UDP packets and sets routing
+tables, batman-advanced operates on ISO/OSI Layer 2 only and uses
+and  routes  (or  better: bridges) Ethernet Frames. It emulates a
+virtual network switch of all nodes participating.  Therefore all
+nodes  appear  to be link local, thus all higher operating proto-
+cols won't be affected by any changes within the network. You can
+run almost any protocol above batman advanced, prominent examples
+are: IPv4, IPv6, DHCP, IPX.
+Batman advanced was implemented as a Linux kernel driver  to  re-
+duce the overhead to a minimum. It does not depend on any (other)
+network driver, and can be used on wifi as well as ethernet  lan,
+vpn,  etc ... (anything with ethernet-style layer 2).
+CONFIGURATION
+-------------
+Load the batman-adv module into your kernel:
+# insmod batman-adv.ko
+The  module  is now waiting for activation. You must add some in-
+terfaces on which batman can operate. After  loading  the  module
+batman  advanced  will scan your systems interfaces to search for
+compatible interfaces. Once found, it will create  subfolders  in
+the /sys directories of each supported interface, e.g.
+# ls /sys/class/net/eth0/batman_adv/
+# iface_status  mesh_iface
+If an interface does not have the "batman_adv" subfolder it prob-
+ably is not supported. Not supported  interfaces  are:  loopback,
+non-ethernet and batman's own interfaces.
+Note:  After the module was loaded it will continuously watch for
+new interfaces to verify the compatibility. There is no  need  to
+reload the module if you plug your USB wifi adapter into your ma-
+chine after batman advanced was initially loaded.
+To activate a  given  interface  simply  write  "bat0"  into  its
+"mesh_iface" file inside the batman_adv subfolder:
+# echo bat0 > /sys/class/net/eth0/batman_adv/mesh_iface
+Repeat  this step for all interfaces you wish to add.  Now batman
+starts using/broadcasting on this/these interface(s).
+By reading the "iface_status" file you can check its status:
+# cat /sys/class/net/eth0/batman_adv/iface_status
+# active
+To deactivate an interface you have  to  write  "none"  into  its
+"mesh_iface" file:
+# echo none > /sys/class/net/eth0/batman_adv/mesh_iface
+All  mesh  wide  settings  can be found in batman's own interface
+folder:
+#  ls  /sys/class/net/bat0/mesh/
+#  aggregated_ogms  bonding  fragmentation  orig_interval
+#  vis_mode
+There is a special folder for debugging informations:
+#  ls /sys/kernel/debug/batman_adv/bat0/
+#  originators  socket  transtable_global  transtable_local
+#  vis_data
+Some of the files contain all sort of status information  regard-
+ing  the  mesh  network.  For  example, you can view the table of
+originators (mesh participants) with:
+# cat /sys/kernel/debug/batman_adv/bat0/originators
+Other files allow to change batman's behaviour to better fit your
+requirements.  For instance, you can check the current originator
+interval (value in milliseconds which determines how often batman
+sends its broadcast packets):
+# cat /sys/class/net/bat0/mesh/orig_interval
+# 1000
+and also change its value:
+# echo 3000 > /sys/class/net/bat0/mesh/orig_interval
+In very mobile scenarios, you might want to adjust the originator
+interval to a lower value. This will make the mesh  more  respon-
+sive to topology changes, but will also increase the overhead.
+USAGE
+-----
+To  make use of your newly created mesh, batman advanced provides
+a new interface "bat0" which you should use from this  point  on.
+All  interfaces  added  to  batman  advanced are not relevant any
+longer because batman handles them for you. Basically, one "hands
+over" the data by using the batman interface and batman will make
+sure it reaches its destination.
+The "bat0" interface can be used like any  other  regular  inter-
+face.  It needs an IP address which can be either statically con-
+figured or dynamically (by using DHCP or similar services):
+# NodeA: ifconfig bat0 192.168.0.1
+# NodeB: ifconfig bat0 192.168.0.2
+# NodeB: ping 192.168.0.1
+Note:  In  order to avoid problems remove all IP addresses previ-
+ously assigned to interfaces now used by batman advanced, e.g.
+# ifconfig eth0 0.0.0.0
+VISUALIZATION
+-------------
+If you want topology visualization, at least one mesh  node  must
+be configured as VIS-server:
+# echo "server" > /sys/class/net/bat0/mesh/vis_mode
+Each  node  is  either configured as "server" or as "client" (de-
+fault: "client").  Clients send their topology data to the server
+next to them, and server synchronize with other servers. If there
+is no server configured (default) within the  mesh,  no  topology
+information   will  be  transmitted.  With  these  "synchronizing
+servers", there can be 1 or more vis servers sharing the same (or
+at least very similar) data.
+When  configured  as  server,  you can get a topology snapshot of
+your mesh:
+# cat /sys/kernel/debug/batman_adv/bat0/vis_data
+This raw output is intended to be easily parsable and convertable
+with  other tools. Have a look at the batctl README if you want a
+vis output in dot or json format for instance and how those  out-
+puts could then be visualised in an image.
+The raw format consists of comma separated values per entry where
+each entry is giving information about a  certain  source  inter-
+face.  Each  entry can/has to have the following values:
+-> "mac" - mac address of an originator's source interface
+           (each line begins with it)
+-> "TQ mac  value"  -  src mac's link quality towards mac address
+                       of a neighbor originator's interface which
+                       is being used for routing
+-> "HNA mac" - HNA announced by source mac
+-> "PRIMARY" - this  is a primary interface
+-> "SEC mac" - secondary mac address of source
+               (requires preceding PRIMARY)
+The TQ value has a range from 4 to 255 with 255 being  the  best.
+The HNA entries are showing which hosts are connected to the mesh
+via bat0 or being bridged into the mesh network.  The PRIMARY/SEC
+values are only applied on primary interfaces
+LOGGING/DEBUGGING
+-----------------
+All error messages, warnings and information messages are sent to
+the kernel log. Depending on your operating  system  distribution
+this  can  be read in one of a number of ways. Try using the com-
+mands: dmesg, logread, or looking in the files  /var/log/kern.log
+or  /var/log/syslog.  All  batman-adv  messages are prefixed with
+"batman-adv:" So to see just these messages try
+# dmesg | grep batman-adv
+When investigating problems with your mesh network  it  is  some-
+times  necessary  to see more detail debug messages. This must be
+enabled when compiling the batman-adv module. When building  bat-
+man-adv  as  part of kernel, use "make menuconfig" and enable the
+option "B.A.T.M.A.N. debugging".
+Those additional  debug messages can be accessed  using a special
+file in debugfs
+# cat /sys/kernel/debug/batman_adv/bat0/log
+The additional debug output is by default disabled. It can be en-
+abled  during run time. Following log_levels are defined:
+0 - All  debug  output  disabled
+1 - Enable messages related to routing / flooding / broadcasting
+2 - Enable route or hna added / changed / deleted
+3 - Enable all messages
+The debug output can be changed at runtime  using  the  file
+/sys/class/net/bat0/mesh/log_level. e.g.
+# echo 2 > /sys/class/net/bat0/mesh/log_level
+will enable debug messages for when routes or HNAs change.
+BATCTL
+------
+As batman advanced operates on layer 2 all hosts participating in
+the  virtual switch are completely transparent for all  protocols
+above layer 2. Therefore the common diagnosis tools do  not  work
+as  expected.  To  overcome these problems batctl was created. At
+the  moment the  batctl contains ping,  traceroute,  tcpdump  and
+interfaces to the kernel module settings.
+For more information, please see the manpage (man batctl).
+batctl is available on http://www.open-mesh.org/

 Socket options
 ==============
+DCCP_SOCKOPT_QPOLICY_ID sets the dequeuing policy for outgoing packets. It takes
+a policy ID as argument and can only be set before the connection (i.e. changes
+during an established connection are not supported). Currently, two policies are
+defined: the "simple" policy (DCCPQ_POLICY_SIMPLE), which does nothing special,
+and a priority-based variant (DCCPQ_POLICY_PRIO). The latter allows to pass an
+u32 priority value as ancillary data to sendmsg(), where higher numbers indicate
+a higher packet priority (similar to SO_PRIORITY). This ancillary data needs to
+be formatted using a cmsg(3) message header filled in as follows:
+        cmsg->cmsg_level = SOL_DCCP;
+        cmsg->cmsg_type  = DCCP_SCM_PRIORITY;
+        cmsg->cmsg_len   = CMSG_LEN(sizeof(uint32_t));  /* or CMSG_LEN(4) */
+DCCP_SOCKOPT_QPOLICY_TXQLEN sets the maximum length of the output queue. A zero
+value is always interpreted as unbounded queue length. If different from zero,
+the interpretation of this parameter depends on the current dequeuing policy
+(see above): the "simple" policy will enforce a fixed queue size by returning
+EAGAIN, whereas the "prio" policy enforces a fixed queue length by dropping the
+lowest-priority packet first. The default value for this parameter is
+initialised from /proc/sys/net/dccp/default/tx_qlen.
 DCCP_SOCKOPT_SERVICE sets the service. The specification mandates use of
 service codes (RFC 4340, sec. 8.1.2); if this socket option is not set,
 the socket will fall back to 0 (which means that no meaningful service code

-  lro_flushed - counts the number of packets flushed out of LRO

+  Intel (R) 82576-based GbE or Intel (R) 82599-based 10GbE controller under KVM
+  -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
+  KVM Hypervisor/VMM supports direct assignment of a PCIe device to a VM.  This
+  includes traditional PCIe devices, as well as SR-IOV-capable devices using
+  Intel 82576-based and 82599-based controllers.
+  While direct assignment of a PCIe device or an SR-IOV Virtual Function (VF)
+  to a Linux-based VM running 2.6.32 or later kernel works fine, there is a
+  known issue with Microsoft Windows Server 2008 VM that results in a "yellow
+  bang" error. This problem is within the KVM VMM itself, not the Intel driver,
+  or the SR-IOV logic of the VMM, but rather that KVM emulates an older CPU
+  model for the guests, and this older CPU model does not support MSI-X
+  interrupts, which is a requirement for Intel SR-IOV.
-  NAPI (Rx polling mode) is supported in the ixgbe driver.  NAPI is enabled
+  If you wish to use the Intel 82576 or 82599-based controllers in SR-IOV mode
-  by default in the driver.

+                        Subsystem Trace Points: power
+The power tracing system captures events related to power transitions
+within the kernel. Broadly speaking there are three major subheadings:
+  o Power state switch which reports events related to suspend (S-states),
+     cpuidle (C-states) and cpufreq (P-states)
+  o System clock related changes
+  o Power domains related changes and transitions
+This document describes what each of the tracepoints is and why they
+might be useful.
+Cf. include/trace/events/power.h for the events definitions.
+1. Power state switch events
+============================
+1.1 New trace API
+-----------------
+A 'cpu' event class gathers the CPU-related events: cpuidle and
+cpufreq.
+cpu_idle                "state=%lu cpu_id=%lu"
+cpu_frequency           "state=%lu cpu_id=%lu"
+A suspend event is used to indicate the system going in and out of the
+suspend mode:
+machine_suspend         "state=%lu"
+Note: the value of '-1' or '4294967295' for state means an exit from the current state,
+i.e. trace_cpu_idle(4, smp_processor_id()) means that the system
+enters the idle state 4, while trace_cpu_idle(PWR_EVENT_EXIT, smp_processor_id())
+means that the system exits the previous idle state.
+The event which has 'state=4294967295' in the trace is very important to the user
+space tools which are using it to detect the end of the current state, and so to
+correctly draw the states diagrams and to calculate accurate statistics etc.
+1.2 DEPRECATED trace API
+------------------------
+A new Kconfig option CONFIG_EVENT_POWER_TRACING_DEPRECATED with the default value of
+'y' has been created. This allows the legacy trace power API to be used conjointly
+with the new trace API.
+The Kconfig option, the old trace API (in include/trace/events/power.h) and the
+old trace points will disappear in a future release (namely 2.6.41).
+power_start             "type=%lu state=%lu cpu_id=%lu"
+power_frequency         "type=%lu state=%lu cpu_id=%lu"
+power_end               "cpu_id=%lu"
+The 'type' parameter takes one of those macros:
+ . POWER_NONE   = 0,
+ . POWER_CSTATE = 1,    /* C-State */
+ . POWER_PSTATE = 2,    /* Fequency change or DVFS */
+The 'state' parameter is set depending on the type:
+ . Target C-state for type=POWER_CSTATE,
+ . Target frequency for type=POWER_PSTATE,
+power_end is used to indicate the exit of a state, corresponding to the latest
+power_start event.
+2. Clocks events
+================
+The clock events are used for clock enable/disable and for
+clock rate change.
+clock_enable            "%s state=%lu cpu_id=%lu"
+clock_disable           "%s state=%lu cpu_id=%lu"
+clock_set_rate          "%s state=%lu cpu_id=%lu"
+The first parameter gives the clock name (e.g. "gpio1_iclk").
+The second parameter is '1' for enable, '0' for disable, the target
+clock rate for set_rate.
+3. Power domains events
+=======================
+The power domain events are used for power domains transitions
+power_domain_target     "%s state=%lu cpu_id=%lu"
+The first parameter gives the power domain name (e.g. "mpu_pwrdm").
+The second parameter is the power domain target state.
