+		Chapter 19:  Inline assembly
+
+In architecture-specific code, you may need to use inline assembly to interface
+with CPU or platform functionality.  Don't hesitate to do so when necessary.
+However, don't use inline assembly gratuitously when C can do the job.  You can
+and should poke hardware from C when possible.
+
+Consider writing simple helper functions that wrap common bits of inline
+assembly, rather than repeatedly writing them with slight variations.  Remember
+that inline assembly can use C parameters.
+
+Large, non-trivial assembly functions should go in .S files, with corresponding
+C prototypes defined in C header files.  The C prototypes for assembly
+functions should use "asmlinkage".
+
+You may need to mark your asm statement as volatile, to prevent GCC from
+removing it if GCC doesn't notice any side effects.  You don't always need to
+do so, though, and doing so unnecessarily can limit optimization.
+
+When writing a single inline assembly statement containing multiple
+instructions, put each instruction on a separate line in a separate quoted
+string, and end each string except the last with \n\t to properly indent the
+next instruction in the assembly output:
+
+	asm ("magic %reg1, #42\n\t"

+		The Common Clk Framework
+		Mike Turquette <mturquette@ti.com>
+
+This document endeavours to explain the common clk framework details,
+and how to port a platform over to this framework.  It is not yet a
+detailed explanation of the clock api in include/linux/clk.h, but
+perhaps someday it will include that information.
+
+	Part 1 - introduction and interface split
+
+The common clk framework is an interface to control the clock nodes
+available on various devices today.  This may come in the form of clock
+gating, rate adjustment, muxing or other operations.  This framework is
+enabled with the CONFIG_COMMON_CLK option.
+
+The interface itself is divided into two halves, each shielded from the
+details of its counterpart.  First is the common definition of struct
+clk which unifies the framework-level accounting and infrastructure that
+has traditionally been duplicated across a variety of platforms.  Second
+is a common implementation of the clk.h api, defined in
+drivers/clk/clk.c.  Finally there is struct clk_ops, whose operations
+are invoked by the clk api implementation.
+
+The second half of the interface is comprised of the hardware-specific
+callbacks registered with struct clk_ops and the corresponding
+hardware-specific structures needed to model a particular clock.  For
+the remainder of this document any reference to a callback in struct
+clk_ops, such as .enable or .set_rate, implies the hardware-specific
+implementation of that code.  Likewise, references to struct clk_foo
+serve as a convenient shorthand for the implementation of the
+hardware-specific bits for the hypothetical "foo" hardware.
+
+Tying the two halves of this interface together is struct clk_hw, which
+is defined in struct clk_foo and pointed to within struct clk.  This
+allows easy for navigation between the two discrete halves of the common
+clock interface.
+
+	Part 2 - common data structures and api
+
+Below is the common struct clk definition from
+include/linux/clk-private.h, modified for brevity:
+
+	struct clk {
+		const char		*name;
+		const struct clk_ops	*ops;
+		struct clk_hw		*hw;
+		char			**parent_names;
+		struct clk		**parents;
+		struct clk		*parent;
+		struct hlist_head	children;
+		struct hlist_node	child_node;
+		...
+	};
+
+The members above make up the core of the clk tree topology.  The clk
+api itself defines several driver-facing functions which operate on
+struct clk.  That api is documented in include/linux/clk.h.
+
+Platforms and devices utilizing the common struct clk use the struct
+clk_ops pointer in struct clk to perform the hardware-specific parts of
+the operations defined in clk.h:
+
+	struct clk_ops {
+		int		(*prepare)(struct clk_hw *hw);
+		void		(*unprepare)(struct clk_hw *hw);
+		int		(*enable)(struct clk_hw *hw);
+		void		(*disable)(struct clk_hw *hw);
+		int		(*is_enabled)(struct clk_hw *hw);
+		unsigned long	(*recalc_rate)(struct clk_hw *hw,
+						unsigned long parent_rate);
+		long		(*round_rate)(struct clk_hw *hw, unsigned long,
+						unsigned long *);
+		int		(*set_parent)(struct clk_hw *hw, u8 index);
+		u8		(*get_parent)(struct clk_hw *hw);
+		int		(*set_rate)(struct clk_hw *hw, unsigned long);
+		void		(*init)(struct clk_hw *hw);
+	};
+
+	Part 3 - hardware clk implementations
+
+The strength of the common struct clk comes from its .ops and .hw pointers
+which abstract the details of struct clk from the hardware-specific bits, and
+vice versa.  To illustrate consider the simple gateable clk implementation in
+drivers/clk/clk-gate.c:
+
+struct clk_gate {
+	struct clk_hw	hw;
+	void __iomem    *reg;
+	u8              bit_idx;
+	...
+};
+
+struct clk_gate contains struct clk_hw hw as well as hardware-specific
+knowledge about which register and bit controls this clk's gating.
+Nothing about clock topology or accounting, such as enable_count or
+notifier_count, is needed here.  That is all handled by the common
+framework code and struct clk.
+
+Let's walk through enabling this clk from driver code:
+
+	struct clk *clk;
+	clk = clk_get(NULL, "my_gateable_clk");
+
+	clk_prepare(clk);
+	clk_enable(clk);
+
+The call graph for clk_enable is very simple:
+
+clk_enable(clk);
+	clk->ops->enable(clk->hw);
+	[resolves to...]
+		clk_gate_enable(hw);
+		[resolves struct clk gate with to_clk_gate(hw)]
+			clk_gate_set_bit(gate);
+
+And the definition of clk_gate_set_bit:
+
+static void clk_gate_set_bit(struct clk_gate *gate)
+{
+	u32 reg;
+
+	reg = __raw_readl(gate->reg);
+	reg |= BIT(gate->bit_idx);
+	writel(reg, gate->reg);
+}
+
+Note that to_clk_gate is defined as:
+
+#define to_clk_gate(_hw) container_of(_hw, struct clk_gate, clk)
+
+This pattern of abstraction is used for every clock hardware
+representation.
+
+	Part 4 - supporting your own clk hardware
+
+When implementing support for a new type of clock it only necessary to
+include the following header:
+
+#include <linux/clk-provider.h>
+
+include/linux/clk.h is included within that header and clk-private.h
+must never be included from the code which implements the operations for
+a clock.  More on that below in Part 5.
+
+To construct a clk hardware structure for your platform you must define
+the following:
+
+struct clk_foo {
+	struct clk_hw hw;
+	... hardware specific data goes here ...
+};
+
+To take advantage of your data you'll need to support valid operations
+for your clk:
+
+struct clk_ops clk_foo_ops {
+	.enable		= &clk_foo_enable;
+	.disable	= &clk_foo_disable;
+};
+
+Implement the above functions using container_of:
+
+#define to_clk_foo(_hw) container_of(_hw, struct clk_foo, hw)
+
+int clk_foo_enable(struct clk_hw *hw)
+{
+	struct clk_foo *foo;
+
+	foo = to_clk_foo(hw);
+
+	... perform magic on foo ...
+
+	return 0;
+};
+
+Below is a matrix detailing which clk_ops are mandatory based upon the
+hardware capbilities of that clock.  A cell marked as "y" means
+mandatory, a cell marked as "n" implies that either including that
+callback is invalid or otherwise uneccesary.  Empty cells are either
+optional or must be evaluated on a case-by-case basis.

+	     -----------------------------------------------------------
+
+Finally, register your clock at run-time with a hardware-specific
+registration function.  This function simply populates struct clk_foo's
+data and then passes the common struct clk parameters to the framework
+with a call to:
+
+clk_register(...)
+
+See the basic clock types in drivers/clk/clk-*.c for examples.
+
+	Part 5 - static initialization of clock data
+
+For platforms with many clocks (often numbering into the hundreds) it
+may be desirable to statically initialize some clock data.  This
+presents a problem since the definition of struct clk should be hidden
+from everyone except for the clock core in drivers/clk/clk.c.
+
+To get around this problem struct clk's definition is exposed in
+include/linux/clk-private.h along with some macros for more easily
+initializing instances of the basic clock types.  These clocks must
+still be initialized with the common clock framework via a call to
+__clk_init.
+
+clk-private.h must NEVER be included by code which implements struct
+clk_ops callbacks, nor must it be included by any logic which pokes
+around inside of struct clk at run-time.  To do so is a layering
+violation.
+

+dm-verity
+==========
+
+Device-Mapper's "verity" target provides transparent integrity checking of
+block devices using a cryptographic digest provided by the kernel crypto API.
+This target is read-only.
+
+Construction Parameters
+=======================
+    <version> <dev> <hash_dev> <hash_start>
+    <data_block_size> <hash_block_size>
+    <num_data_blocks> <hash_start_block>
+    <algorithm> <digest> <salt>
+
+<version>
+    This is the version number of the on-disk format.
+
+    0 is the original format used in the Chromium OS.
+	The salt is appended when hashing, digests are stored continuously and
+	the rest of the block is padded with zeros.
+
+    1 is the current format that should be used for new devices.
+	The salt is prepended when hashing and each digest is
+	padded with zeros to the power of two.
+
+<dev>
+    This is the device containing the data the integrity of which needs to be
+    checked.  It may be specified as a path, like /dev/sdaX, or a device number,
+    <major>:<minor>.
+
+<hash_dev>
+    This is the device that that supplies the hash tree data.  It may be
+    specified similarly to the device path and may be the same device.  If the
+    same device is used, the hash_start should be outside of the dm-verity
+    configured device size.
+
+<data_block_size>
+    The block size on a data device.  Each block corresponds to one digest on
+    the hash device.
+
+<hash_block_size>
+    The size of a hash block.
+
+<num_data_blocks>
+    The number of data blocks on the data device.  Additional blocks are
+    inaccessible.  You can place hashes to the same partition as data, in this
+    case hashes are placed after <num_data_blocks>.
+
+<hash_start_block>
+    This is the offset, in <hash_block_size>-blocks, from the start of hash_dev
+    to the root block of the hash tree.
+
+<algorithm>
+    The cryptographic hash algorithm used for this device.  This should
+    be the name of the algorithm, like "sha1".
+
+<digest>
+    The hexadecimal encoding of the cryptographic hash of the root hash block
+    and the salt.  This hash should be trusted as there is no other authenticity
+    beyond this point.
+
+<salt>
+    The hexadecimal encoding of the salt value.
+
+Theory of operation
+===================
+
+dm-verity is meant to be setup as part of a verified boot path.  This
+may be anything ranging from a boot using tboot or trustedgrub to just
+booting from a known-good device (like a USB drive or CD).
+
+When a dm-verity device is configured, it is expected that the caller
+has been authenticated in some way (cryptographic signatures, etc).
+After instantiation, all hashes will be verified on-demand during
+disk access.  If they cannot be verified up to the root node of the
+tree, the root hash, then the I/O will fail.  This should identify
+tampering with any data on the device and the hash data.
+
+Cryptographic hashes are used to assert the integrity of the device on a
+per-block basis.  This allows for a lightweight hash computation on first read
+into the page cache.  Block hashes are stored linearly-aligned to the nearest
+block the size of a page.
+
+Hash Tree
+---------
+
+Each node in the tree is a cryptographic hash.  If it is a leaf node, the hash
+is of some block data on disk.  If it is an intermediary node, then the hash is
+of a number of child nodes.
+
+Each entry in the tree is a collection of neighboring nodes that fit in one
+block.  The number is determined based on block_size and the size of the
+selected cryptographic digest algorithm.  The hashes are linearly-ordered in
+this entry and any unaligned trailing space is ignored but included when
+calculating the parent node.
+
+The tree looks something like:
+
+alg = sha256, num_blocks = 32768, block_size = 4096
+
+                                 [   root    ]
+                                /    . . .    \
+                     [entry_0]                 [entry_1]
+                    /  . . .  \                 . . .   \
+         [entry_0_0]   . . .  [entry_0_127]    . . . .  [entry_1_127]
+           / ... \             /   . . .  \             /           \
+     blk_0 ... blk_127  blk_16256   blk_16383      blk_32640 . . . blk_32767
+
+
+On-disk format
+==============
+
+Below is the recommended on-disk format. The verity kernel code does not
+read the on-disk header. It only reads the hash blocks which directly
+follow the header. It is expected that a user-space tool will verify the
+integrity of the verity_header and then call dmsetup with the correct
+parameters. Alternatively, the header can be omitted and the dmsetup
+parameters can be passed via the kernel command-line in a rooted chain
+of trust where the command-line is verified.
+
+The on-disk format is especially useful in cases where the hash blocks
+are on a separate partition. The magic number allows easy identification
+of the partition contents. Alternatively, the hash blocks can be stored
+in the same partition as the data to be verified. In such a configuration
+the filesystem on the partition would be sized a little smaller than
+the full-partition, leaving room for the hash blocks.
+

+GPIO controller on CE4100 / Sodaville SoCs
+==========================================
+
+The bindings for CE4100's GPIO controller match the generic description
+which is covered by the gpio.txt file in this folder.
+
+The only additional property is the intel,muxctl property which holds the
+value which is written into the MUXCNTL register.
+
+There is no compatible property for now because the driver is probed via
+PCI id (vendor 0x8086 device 0x2e67).
+
+The interrupt specifier consists of two cells encoded as follows:
+ - <1st cell>: The interrupt-number that identifies the interrupt source.
+ - <2nd cell>: The level-sense information, encoded as follows:
+		4 - active high level-sensitive
+		8 - active low level-sensitive
+
+Example of the GPIO device and one user:
+
+	pcigpio: gpio@b,1 {
+			/* two cells for GPIO and interrupt */
+			#gpio-cells = <2>;
+			#interrupt-cells = <2>;
+			compatible = "pci8086,2e67.2",
+					   "pci8086,2e67",
+					   "pciclassff0000",
+					   "pciclassff00";
+
+			reg = <0x15900 0x0 0x0 0x0 0x0>;
+			/* Interrupt line of the gpio device */
+			interrupts = <15 1>;
+			/* It is an interrupt and GPIO controller itself */
+			interrupt-controller;
+			gpio-controller;
+			intel,muxctl = <0>;
+	};
+
+	testuser@20 {
+			compatible = "example,testuser";
+			/* User the 11th GPIO line as an active high triggered
+			 * level interrupt
+			 */
+			interrupts = <11 8>;
+			interrupt-parent = <&pcigpio>;
+			/* Use this GPIO also with the gpio functions */
+			gpios = <&pcigpio 11 0>;

+Linux and the Device Tree
+-------------------------
+The Linux usage model for device tree data
+
+Author: Grant Likely <grant.likely@secretlab.ca>
+
+This article describes how Linux uses the device tree.  An overview of
+the device tree data format can be found on the device tree usage page
+at devicetree.org[1].
+
+[1] http://devicetree.org/Device_Tree_Usage
+
+The "Open Firmware Device Tree", or simply Device Tree (DT), is a data
+structure and language for describing hardware.  More specifically, it
+is a description of hardware that is readable by an operating system
+so that the operating system doesn't need to hard code details of the
+machine.
+
+Structurally, the DT is a tree, or acyclic graph with named nodes, and
+nodes may have an arbitrary number of named properties encapsulating
+arbitrary data.  A mechanism also exists to create arbitrary
+links from one node to another outside of the natural tree structure.
+
+Conceptually, a common set of usage conventions, called 'bindings',
+is defined for how data should appear in the tree to describe typical
+hardware characteristics including data busses, interrupt lines, GPIO
+connections, and peripheral devices.
+
+As much as possible, hardware is described using existing bindings to
+maximize use of existing support code, but since property and node
+names are simply text strings, it is easy to extend existing bindings
+or create new ones by defining new nodes and properties.  Be wary,
+however, of creating a new binding without first doing some homework
+about what already exists.  There are currently two different,
+incompatible, bindings for i2c busses that came about because the new
+binding was created without first investigating how i2c devices were
+already being enumerated in existing systems.
+
+1. History
+----------
+The DT was originally created by Open Firmware as part of the
+communication method for passing data from Open Firmware to a client
+program (like to an operating system).  An operating system used the
+Device Tree to discover the topology of the hardware at runtime, and
+thereby support a majority of available hardware without hard coded
+information (assuming drivers were available for all devices).
+
+Since Open Firmware is commonly used on PowerPC and SPARC platforms,
+the Linux support for those architectures has for a long time used the
+Device Tree.
+
+In 2005, when PowerPC Linux began a major cleanup and to merge 32-bit
+and 64-bit support, the decision was made to require DT support on all
+powerpc platforms, regardless of whether or not they used Open
+Firmware.  To do this, a DT representation called the Flattened Device
+Tree (FDT) was created which could be passed to the kernel as a binary
+blob without requiring a real Open Firmware implementation.  U-Boot,
+kexec, and other bootloaders were modified to support both passing a
+Device Tree Binary (dtb) and to modify a dtb at boot time.  DT was
+also added to the PowerPC boot wrapper (arch/powerpc/boot/*) so that
+a dtb could be wrapped up with the kernel image to support booting
+existing non-DT aware firmware.
+
+Some time later, FDT infrastructure was generalized to be usable by
+all architectures.  At the time of this writing, 6 mainlined
+architectures (arm, microblaze, mips, powerpc, sparc, and x86) and 1
+out of mainline (nios) have some level of DT support.
+
+2. Data Model
+-------------
+If you haven't already read the Device Tree Usage[1] page,
+then go read it now.  It's okay, I'll wait....
+
+2.1 High Level View
+-------------------
+The most important thing to understand is that the DT is simply a data
+structure that describes the hardware.  There is nothing magical about
+it, and it doesn't magically make all hardware configuration problems
+go away.  What it does do is provide a language for decoupling the
+hardware configuration from the board and device driver support in the
+Linux kernel (or any other operating system for that matter).  Using
+it allows board and device support to become data driven; to make
+setup decisions based on data passed into the kernel instead of on
+per-machine hard coded selections.
+
+Ideally, data driven platform setup should result in less code
+duplication and make it easier to support a wide range of hardware
+with a single kernel image.
+
+Linux uses DT data for three major purposes:
+1) platform identification,
+2) runtime configuration, and
+3) device population.
+
+2.2 Platform Identification
+---------------------------
+First and foremost, the kernel will use data in the DT to identify the
+specific machine.  In a perfect world, the specific platform shouldn't
+matter to the kernel because all platform details would be described
+perfectly by the device tree in a consistent and reliable manner.
+Hardware is not perfect though, and so the kernel must identify the
+machine during early boot so that it has the opportunity to run
+machine-specific fixups.
+
+In the majority of cases, the machine identity is irrelevant, and the
+kernel will instead select setup code based on the machine's core
+CPU or SoC.  On ARM for example, setup_arch() in
+arch/arm/kernel/setup.c will call setup_machine_fdt() in
+arch/arm/kernel/devicetree.c which searches through the machine_desc
+table and selects the machine_desc which best matches the device tree
+data.  It determines the best match by looking at the 'compatible'
+property in the root device tree node, and comparing it with the
+dt_compat list in struct machine_desc.
+
+The 'compatible' property contains a sorted list of strings starting
+with the exact name of the machine, followed by an optional list of
+boards it is compatible with sorted from most compatible to least.  For
+example, the root compatible properties for the TI BeagleBoard and its
+successor, the BeagleBoard xM board might look like:
+
+	compatible = "ti,omap3-beagleboard", "ti,omap3450", "ti,omap3";
+	compatible = "ti,omap3-beagleboard-xm", "ti,omap3450", "ti,omap3";
+
+Where "ti,omap3-beagleboard-xm" specifies the exact model, it also
+claims that it compatible with the OMAP 3450 SoC, and the omap3 family
+of SoCs in general.  You'll notice that the list is sorted from most
+specific (exact board) to least specific (SoC family).
+
+Astute readers might point out that the Beagle xM could also claim
+compatibility with the original Beagle board.  However, one should be
+cautioned about doing so at the board level since there is typically a
+high level of change from one board to another, even within the same
+product line, and it is hard to nail down exactly what is meant when one
+board claims to be compatible with another.  For the top level, it is
+better to err on the side of caution and not claim one board is
+compatible with another.  The notable exception would be when one
+board is a carrier for another, such as a CPU module attached to a
+carrier board.
+
+One more note on compatible values.  Any string used in a compatible
+property must be documented as to what it indicates.  Add
+documentation for compatible strings in Documentation/devicetree/bindings.
+
+Again on ARM, for each machine_desc, the kernel looks to see if
+any of the dt_compat list entries appear in the compatible property.
+If one does, then that machine_desc is a candidate for driving the
+machine.  After searching the entire table of machine_descs,
+setup_machine_fdt() returns the 'most compatible' machine_desc based
+on which entry in the compatible property each machine_desc matches
+against.  If no matching machine_desc is found, then it returns NULL.
+
+The reasoning behind this scheme is the observation that in the majority
+of cases, a single machine_desc can support a large number of boards
+if they all use the same SoC, or same family of SoCs.  However,
+invariably there will be some exceptions where a specific board will
+require special setup code that is not useful in the generic case.
+Special cases could be handled by explicitly checking for the
+troublesome board(s) in generic setup code, but doing so very quickly
+becomes ugly and/or unmaintainable if it is more than just a couple of
+cases.
+
+Instead, the compatible list allows a generic machine_desc to provide
+support for a wide common set of boards by specifying "less
+compatible" value in the dt_compat list.  In the example above,
+generic board support can claim compatibility with "ti,omap3" or
+"ti,omap3450".  If a bug was discovered on the original beagleboard
+that required special workaround code during early boot, then a new
+machine_desc could be added which implements the workarounds and only
+matches on "ti,omap3-beagleboard".
+
+PowerPC uses a slightly different scheme where it calls the .probe()
+hook from each machine_desc, and the first one returning TRUE is used.
+However, this approach does not take into account the priority of the
+compatible list, and probably should be avoided for new architecture
+support.
+
+2.3 Runtime configuration
+-------------------------
+In most cases, a DT will be the sole method of communicating data from
+firmware to the kernel, so also gets used to pass in runtime and
+configuration data like the kernel parameters string and the location
+of an initrd image.
+
+Most of this data is contained in the /chosen node, and when booting
+Linux it will look something like this:
+
+	chosen {
+		bootargs = "console=ttyS0,115200 loglevel=8";
+		initrd-start = <0xc8000000>;
+		initrd-end = <0xc8200000>;
+	};
+
+The bootargs property contains the kernel arguments, and the initrd-*
+properties define the address and size of an initrd blob.  The
+chosen node may also optionally contain an arbitrary number of
+additional properties for platform-specific configuration data.
+
+During early boot, the architecture setup code calls of_scan_flat_dt()
+several times with different helper callbacks to parse device tree
+data before paging is setup.  The of_scan_flat_dt() code scans through
+the device tree and uses the helpers to extract information required
+during early boot.  Typically the early_init_dt_scan_chosen() helper
+is used to parse the chosen node including kernel parameters,
+early_init_dt_scan_root() to initialize the DT address space model,
+and early_init_dt_scan_memory() to determine the size and
+location of usable RAM.
+
+On ARM, the function setup_machine_fdt() is responsible for early
+scanning of the device tree after selecting the correct machine_desc
+that supports the board.
+
+2.4 Device population
+---------------------
+After the board has been identified, and after the early configuration data
+has been parsed, then kernel initialization can proceed in the normal
+way.  At some point in this process, unflatten_device_tree() is called
+to convert the data into a more efficient runtime representation.
+This is also when machine-specific setup hooks will get called, like
+the machine_desc .init_early(), .init_irq() and .init_machine() hooks
+on ARM.  The remainder of this section uses examples from the ARM
+implementation, but all architectures will do pretty much the same
+thing when using a DT.
+
+As can be guessed by the names, .init_early() is used for any machine-
+specific setup that needs to be executed early in the boot process,
+and .init_irq() is used to set up interrupt handling.  Using a DT
+doesn't materially change the behaviour of either of these functions.
+If a DT is provided, then both .init_early() and .init_irq() are able
+to call any of the DT query functions (of_* in include/linux/of*.h) to
+get additional data about the platform.
+
+The most interesting hook in the DT context is .init_machine() which
+is primarily responsible for populating the Linux device model with
+data about the platform.  Historically this has been implemented on
+embedded platforms by defining a set of static clock structures,
+platform_devices, and other data in the board support .c file, and
+registering it en-masse in .init_machine().  When DT is used, then
+instead of hard coding static devices for each platform, the list of
+devices can be obtained by parsing the DT, and allocating device
+structures dynamically.
+
+The simplest case is when .init_machine() is only responsible for
+registering a block of platform_devices.  A platform_device is a concept
+used by Linux for memory or I/O mapped devices which cannot be detected
+by hardware, and for 'composite' or 'virtual' devices (more on those
+later).  While there is no 'platform device' terminology for the DT,
+platform devices roughly correspond to device nodes at the root of the
+tree and children of simple memory mapped bus nodes.
+
+About now is a good time to lay out an example.  Here is part of the
+device tree for the NVIDIA Tegra board.
+
+/{
+	compatible = "nvidia,harmony", "nvidia,tegra20";
+	#address-cells = <1>;
+	#size-cells = <1>;
+	interrupt-parent = <&intc>;
+
+	chosen { };
+	aliases { };
+
+	memory {
+		device_type = "memory";
+		reg = <0x00000000 0x40000000>;
+	};
+
+	soc {
+		compatible = "nvidia,tegra20-soc", "simple-bus";
+		#address-cells = <1>;
+		#size-cells = <1>;
+		ranges;
+
+		intc: interrupt-controller@50041000 {
+			compatible = "nvidia,tegra20-gic";
+			interrupt-controller;
+			#interrupt-cells = <1>;
+			reg = <0x50041000 0x1000>, < 0x50040100 0x0100 >;
+		};
+
+		serial@70006300 {
+			compatible = "nvidia,tegra20-uart";
+			reg = <0x70006300 0x100>;
+			interrupts = <122>;
+		};
+
+		i2s1: i2s@70002800 {
+			compatible = "nvidia,tegra20-i2s";
+			reg = <0x70002800 0x100>;
+			interrupts = <77>;
+			codec = <&wm8903>;
+		};
+
+		i2c@7000c000 {
+			compatible = "nvidia,tegra20-i2c";
+			#address-cells = <1>;
+			#size-cells = <0>;
+			reg = <0x7000c000 0x100>;
+			interrupts = <70>;
+
+			wm8903: codec@1a {
+				compatible = "wlf,wm8903";
+				reg = <0x1a>;
+				interrupts = <347>;
+			};
+		};
+	};
+
+	sound {
+		compatible = "nvidia,harmony-sound";
+		i2s-controller = <&i2s1>;
+		i2s-codec = <&wm8903>;
+	};
+};
+
+At .machine_init() time, Tegra board support code will need to look at
+this DT and decide which nodes to create platform_devices for.
+However, looking at the tree, it is not immediately obvious what kind
+of device each node represents, or even if a node represents a device
+at all.  The /chosen, /aliases, and /memory nodes are informational
+nodes that don't describe devices (although arguably memory could be
+considered a device).  The children of the /soc node are memory mapped
+devices, but the codec@1a is an i2c device, and the sound node
+represents not a device, but rather how other devices are connected
+together to create the audio subsystem.  I know what each device is
+because I'm familiar with the board design, but how does the kernel
+know what to do with each node?
+
+The trick is that the kernel starts at the root of the tree and looks
+for nodes that have a 'compatible' property.  First, it is generally
+assumed that any node with a 'compatible' property represents a device
+of some kind, and second, it can be assumed that any node at the root
+of the tree is either directly attached to the processor bus, or is a
+miscellaneous system device that cannot be described any other way.
+For each of these nodes, Linux allocates and registers a
+platform_device, which in turn may get bound to a platform_driver.
+
+Why is using a platform_device for these nodes a safe assumption?
+Well, for the way that Linux models devices, just about all bus_types
+assume that its devices are children of a bus controller.  For
+example, each i2c_client is a child of an i2c_master.  Each spi_device
+is a child of an SPI bus.  Similarly for USB, PCI, MDIO, etc.  The
+same hierarchy is also found in the DT, where I2C device nodes only
+ever appear as children of an I2C bus node.  Ditto for SPI, MDIO, USB,
+etc.  The only devices which do not require a specific type of parent
+device are platform_devices (and amba_devices, but more on that
+later), which will happily live at the base of the Linux /sys/devices
+tree.  Therefore, if a DT node is at the root of the tree, then it
+really probably is best registered as a platform_device.
+
+Linux board support code calls of_platform_populate(NULL, NULL, NULL)
+to kick off discovery of devices at the root of the tree.  The
+parameters are all NULL because when starting from the root of the
+tree, there is no need to provide a starting node (the first NULL), a
+parent struct device (the last NULL), and we're not using a match
+table (yet).  For a board that only needs to register devices,
+.init_machine() can be completely empty except for the
+of_platform_populate() call.
+
+In the Tegra example, this accounts for the /soc and /sound nodes, but
+what about the children of the SoC node?  Shouldn't they be registered
+as platform devices too?  For Linux DT support, the generic behaviour
+is for child devices to be registered by the parent's device driver at
+driver .probe() time.  So, an i2c bus device driver will register a
+i2c_client for each child node, an SPI bus driver will register
+its spi_device children, and similarly for other bus_types.
+According to that model, a driver could be written that binds to the
+SoC node and simply registers platform_devices for each of its
+children.  The board support code would allocate and register an SoC
+device, a (theoretical) SoC device driver could bind to the SoC device,
+and register platform_devices for /soc/interrupt-controller, /soc/serial,
+/soc/i2s, and /soc/i2c in its .probe() hook.  Easy, right?
+
+Actually, it turns out that registering children of some
+platform_devices as more platform_devices is a common pattern, and the
+device tree support code reflects that and makes the above example
+simpler.  The second argument to of_platform_populate() is an
+of_device_id table, and any node that matches an entry in that table
+will also get its child nodes registered.  In the tegra case, the code
+can look something like this:
+
+static void __init harmony_init_machine(void)
+{
+	/* ... */
+	of_platform_populate(NULL, of_default_bus_match_table, NULL, NULL);
+}
+
+"simple-bus" is defined in the ePAPR 1.0 specification as a property
+meaning a simple memory mapped bus, so the of_platform_populate() code
+could be written to just assume simple-bus compatible nodes will
+always be traversed.  However, we pass it in as an argument so that
+board support code can always override the default behaviour.
+
+[Need to add discussion of adding i2c/spi/etc child devices]
+
+Appendix A: AMBA devices
+------------------------
+
+ARM Primecells are a certain kind of device attached to the ARM AMBA
+bus which include some support for hardware detection and power
+management.  In Linux, struct amba_device and the amba_bus_type is
+used to represent Primecell devices.  However, the fiddly bit is that
+not all devices on an AMBA bus are Primecells, and for Linux it is
+typical for both amba_device and platform_device instances to be
+siblings of the same bus segment.
+
+When using the DT, this creates problems for of_platform_populate()
+because it must decide whether to register each node as either a
+platform_device or an amba_device.  This unfortunately complicates the
+device creation model a little bit, but the solution turns out not to
+be too invasive.  If a node is compatible with "arm,amba-primecell", then
+of_platform_populate() will register it as an amba_device instead of a
+platform_device.

+Kernel cpu access to a dma-buf buffer object
+--------------------------------------------
+
+The motivation to allow cpu access from the kernel to a dma-buf object from the
+importers side are:
+- fallback operations, e.g. if the devices is connected to a usb bus and the
+  kernel needs to shuffle the data around first before sending it away.
+- full transparency for existing users on the importer side, i.e. userspace
+  should not notice the difference between a normal object from that subsystem
+  and an imported one backed by a dma-buf. This is really important for drm
+  opengl drivers that expect to still use all the existing upload/download
+  paths.
+
+Access to a dma_buf from the kernel context involves three steps:
+
+1. Prepare access, which invalidate any necessary caches and make the object
+   available for cpu access.
+2. Access the object page-by-page with the dma_buf map apis
+3. Finish access, which will flush any necessary cpu caches and free reserved
+   resources.
+
+1. Prepare access
+
+   Before an importer can access a dma_buf object with the cpu from the kernel
+   context, it needs to notify the exporter of the access that is about to
+   happen.
+
+   Interface:
+      int dma_buf_begin_cpu_access(struct dma_buf *dmabuf,
+				   size_t start, size_t len,
+				   enum dma_data_direction direction)
+
+   This allows the exporter to ensure that the memory is actually available for
+   cpu access - the exporter might need to allocate or swap-in and pin the
+   backing storage. The exporter also needs to ensure that cpu access is
+   coherent for the given range and access direction. The range and access
+   direction can be used by the exporter to optimize the cache flushing, i.e.
+   access outside of the range or with a different direction (read instead of
+   write) might return stale or even bogus data (e.g. when the exporter needs to
+   copy the data to temporary storage).
+
+   This step might fail, e.g. in oom conditions.
+
+2. Accessing the buffer
+
+   To support dma_buf objects residing in highmem cpu access is page-based using
+   an api similar to kmap. Accessing a dma_buf is done in aligned chunks of
+   PAGE_SIZE size. Before accessing a chunk it needs to be mapped, which returns
+   a pointer in kernel virtual address space. Afterwards the chunk needs to be
+   unmapped again. There is no limit on how often a given chunk can be mapped
+   and unmapped, i.e. the importer does not need to call begin_cpu_access again
+   before mapping the same chunk again.
+
+   Interfaces:
+      void *dma_buf_kmap(struct dma_buf *, unsigned long);
+      void dma_buf_kunmap(struct dma_buf *, unsigned long, void *);
+
+   There are also atomic variants of these interfaces. Like for kmap they
+   facilitate non-blocking fast-paths. Neither the importer nor the exporter (in
+   the callback) is allowed to block when using these.
+
+   Interfaces:
+      void *dma_buf_kmap_atomic(struct dma_buf *, unsigned long);
+      void dma_buf_kunmap_atomic(struct dma_buf *, unsigned long, void *);
+
+   For importers all the restrictions of using kmap apply, like the limited
+   supply of kmap_atomic slots. Hence an importer shall only hold onto at most 2
+   atomic dma_buf kmaps at the same time (in any given process context).
+
+   dma_buf kmap calls outside of the range specified in begin_cpu_access are
+   undefined. If the range is not PAGE_SIZE aligned, kmap needs to succeed on
+   the partial chunks at the beginning and end but may return stale or bogus
+   data outside of the range (in these partial chunks).
+
+   Note that these calls need to always succeed. The exporter needs to complete
+   any preparations that might fail in begin_cpu_access.
+
+3. Finish access
+
+   When the importer is done accessing the range specified in begin_cpu_access,
+   it needs to announce this to the exporter (to facilitate cache flushing and
+   unpinning of any pinned resources). The result of of any dma_buf kmap calls
+   after end_cpu_access is undefined.
+
+   Interface:
+      void dma_buf_end_cpu_access(struct dma_buf *dma_buf,
+				  size_t start, size_t len,
+				  enum dma_data_direction dir);
+
+
+Miscellaneous notes
+-------------------
+
 - Any exporters or users of the dma-buf buffer sharing framework must have
   a 'select DMA_SHARED_BUFFER' in their respective Kconfigs.
 
+- In order to avoid fd leaks on exec, the FD_CLOEXEC flag must be set
+  on the file descriptor.  This is not just a resource leak, but a
+  potential security hole.  It could give the newly exec'd application
+  access to buffers, via the leaked fd, to which it should otherwise
+  not be permitted access.
+
+  The problem with doing this via a separate fcntl() call, versus doing it
+  atomically when the fd is created, is that this is inherently racy in a
+  multi-threaded app[3].  The issue is made worse when it is library code
+  opening/creating the file descriptor, as the application may not even be
+  aware of the fd's.
+
+  To avoid this problem, userspace must have a way to request O_CLOEXEC
+  flag be set when the dma-buf fd is created.  So any API provided by
+  the exporting driver to create a dmabuf fd must provide a way to let
+  userspace control setting of O_CLOEXEC flag passed in to dma_buf_fd().

+For GPIOs that use pins known to the pinctrl subsystem, that subsystem should

+Any programming of pin multiplexing hardware that is needed to route the
+GPIO signal to the appropriate pin should occur within a GPIO driver's

+1. Overview
+-----------
+
+Universal Flash Storage(UFS) is a storage specification for flash devices.
+It is aimed to provide a universal storage interface for both
+embedded and removable flash memory based storage in mobile
+devices such as smart phones and tablet computers. The specification
+is defined by JEDEC Solid State Technology Association. UFS is based
+on MIPI M-PHY physical layer standard. UFS uses MIPI M-PHY as the
+physical layer and MIPI Unipro as the link layer.
+
+The main goals of UFS is to provide,
+ * Optimized performance:
+   For UFS version 1.0 and 1.1 the target performance is as follows,
+   Support for Gear1 is mandatory (rate A: 1248Mbps, rate B: 1457.6Mbps)
+   Support for Gear2 is optional (rate A: 2496Mbps, rate B: 2915.2Mbps)
+   Future version of the standard,
+   Gear3 (rate A: 4992Mbps, rate B: 5830.4Mbps)
+ * Low power consumption
+ * High random IOPs and low latency
+
+
+2. UFS Architecture Overview
+----------------------------
+
+UFS has a layered communication architecture which is based on SCSI
+SAM-5 architectural model.
+
+UFS communication architecture consists of following layers,
+
+2.1 Application Layer
+
+  The Application layer is composed of UFS command set layer(UCS),
+  Task Manager and Device manager. The UFS interface is designed to be
+  protocol agnostic, however SCSI has been selected as a baseline
+  protocol for versions 1.0 and 1.1 of UFS protocol  layer.
+  UFS supports subset of SCSI commands defined by SPC-4 and SBC-3.
+  * UCS: It handles SCSI commands supported by UFS specification.
+  * Task manager: It handles task management functions defined by the
+     UFS which are meant for command queue control.
+  * Device manager: It handles device level operations and device
+     configuration operations. Device level operations mainly involve
+     device power management operations and commands to Interconnect
+     layers. Device level configurations involve handling of query
+     requests which are used to modify and retrieve configuration
+     information of the device.
+
+2.2 UFS Transport Protocol(UTP) layer
+
+  UTP layer provides services for
+  the higher layers through Service Access Points. UTP defines 3
+  service access points for higher layers.
+  * UDM_SAP: Device manager service access point is exposed to device

+    are done through query requests.
+  * UTP_CMD_SAP: Command service access point is exposed to UFS command
+    set layer(UCS) to transport commands.
+  * UTP_TM_SAP: Task management service access point is exposed to task
+    manager to transport task management functions.
+  UTP transports messages through UFS protocol information unit(UPIU).
+
+2.3 UFS Interconnect(UIC) Layer
+
+  UIC is the lowest layer of UFS layered architecture. It handles
+  connection between UFS host and UFS device. UIC consists of
+  MIPI UniPro and MIPI M-PHY. UIC provides 2 service access points
+  to upper layer,
+  * UIC_SAP: To transport UPIU between UFS host and UFS device.
+  * UIO_SAP: To issue commands to Unipro layers.
+
+
+3. UFSHCD Overview
+------------------
+
+The UFS host controller driver is based on Linux SCSI Framework.
+UFSHCD is a low level device driver which acts as an interface between
+SCSI Midlayer and PCIe based UFS host controllers.
+
+The current UFSHCD implementation supports following functionality,
+
+3.1 UFS controller initialization
+
+  The initialization module brings UFS host controller to active state
+  and prepares the controller to transfer commands/response between
+  UFSHCD and UFS device.
+
+3.2 UTP Transfer requests
+
+  Transfer request handling module of UFSHCD receives SCSI commands
+  from SCSI Midlayer, forms UPIUs and issues the UPIUs to UFS Host
+  controller. Also, the module decodes, responses received from UFS
+  host controller in the form of UPIUs and intimates the SCSI Midlayer
+  of the status of the command.
+
+3.3 UFS error handling
+
+  Error handling module handles Host controller fatal errors,
+  Device fatal errors and UIC interconnect layer related errors.
+
+3.4 SCSI Error handling
+
+  This is done through UFSHCD SCSI error handling routines registered
+  with SCSI Midlayer. Examples of some of the error handling commands
+  issues by SCSI Midlayer are Abort task, Lun reset and host reset.
+  UFSHCD Routines to perform these tasks are registered with
+  SCSI Midlayer through .eh_abort_handler, .eh_device_reset_handler and
+  .eh_host_reset_handler.
+
+In this version of UFSHCD Query requests and power management
+functionality are not implemented.

+
+This must be called whenever userspace has changed an entry in the shared
+TLB, prior to calling KVM_RUN on the associated vcpu.
+
+The "bitmap" field is the userspace address of an array.  This array
+consists of a number of bits, equal to the total number of TLB entries as
+determined by the last successful call to KVM_CONFIG_TLB, rounded up to the
+nearest multiple of 64.
+
+Each bit corresponds to one TLB entry, ordered the same as in the shared TLB
+array.
+
+The array is little-endian: the bit 0 is the least significant bit of the
+first byte, bit 8 is the least significant bit of the second byte, etc.
+This avoids any complications with differing word sizes.
+
+The "num_dirty" field is a performance hint for KVM to determine whether it

+be set to the number of set bits in the bitmap.

+
+Capability: KVM_CAP_PCI_2_3
+Architectures: x86
+Type: vm ioctl
+Parameters: struct kvm_assigned_pci_dev (in)
+Returns: 0 on success, -1 on error
+
+Allows userspace to mask PCI INTx interrupts from the assigned device.  The
+kernel will not deliver INTx interrupts to the guest between setting and
+clearing of KVM_ASSIGN_SET_INTX_MASK via this interface.  This enables use of
+and emulation of PCI 2.3 INTx disable command register behavior.
+
+This may be used for both PCI 2.3 devices supporting INTx disable natively and
+older devices lacking this support. Userspace is responsible for emulating the
+read value of the INTx disable bit in the guest visible PCI command register.
+When modifying the INTx disable state, userspace should precede updating the
+physical device command register by calling this ioctl to inform the kernel of
+the new intended INTx mask state.
+
+Note that the kernel uses the device INTx disable bit to internally manage the
+device interrupt state for PCI 2.3 devices.  Reads of this register may
+therefore not match the expected value.  Writes should always use the guest
+intended INTx disable value rather than attempting to read-copy-update the
+current physical device state.  Races between user and kernel updates to the
+INTx disable bit are handled lazily in the kernel.  It's possible the device
+may generate unintended interrupts, but they will not be injected into the
+guest.
+
+See KVM_ASSIGN_DEV_IRQ for the data structure.  The target device is specified
+by assigned_dev_id.  In the flags field, only KVM_DEV_ASSIGN_MASK_INTX is
+evaluated.
