+Device-Mapper Logging
+=====================
+The device-mapper logging code is used by some of the device-mapper
+RAID targets to track regions of the disk that are not consistent.
+A region (or portion of the address space) of the disk may be
+inconsistent because a RAID stripe is currently being operated on or
+a machine died while the region was being altered. In the case of
+mirrors, a region would be considered dirty/inconsistent while you
+are writing to it because the writes need to be replicated for all
+the legs of the mirror and may not reach the legs at the same time.
+Once all writes are complete, the region is considered clean again.
+
+There is a generic logging interface that the device-mapper RAID
+implementations use to perform logging operations (see
+dm_dirty_log_type in include/linux/dm-dirty-log.h). Various different
+logging implementations are available and provide different
+capabilities. The list includes:
+
+Type Files
+==== =====
+disk drivers/md/dm-log.c
+core drivers/md/dm-log.c
+userspace drivers/md/dm-log-userspace* include/linux/dm-log-userspace.h
+
+The "disk" log type
+-------------------
+This log implementation commits the log state to disk. This way, the
+logging state survives reboots/crashes.
+
+The "core" log type
+-------------------
+This log implementation keeps the log state in memory. The log state
+will not survive a reboot or crash, but there may be a small boost in
+performance. This method can also be used if no storage device is
+available for storing log state.
+
+The "userspace" log type
+------------------------
+This log type simply provides a way to export the log API to userspace,
+so log implementations can be done there. This is done by forwarding most
+logging requests to userspace, where a daemon receives and processes the
+request.
+
+The structure used for communication between kernel and userspace are
+located in include/linux/dm-log-userspace.h. Due to the frequency,
+diversity, and 2-way communication nature of the exchanges between
+kernel and userspace, 'connector' is used as the interface for
+communication.
+
+There are currently two userspace log implementations that leverage this
+framework - "clustered_disk" and "clustered_core". These implementations
+provide a cluster-coherent log for shared-storage. Device-mapper mirroring
+can be used in a shared-storage environment when the cluster log implementations
+are employed.

+dm-service-time
+===============
+
+dm-service-time is a path selector module for device-mapper targets,
+which selects a path with the shortest estimated service time for
+the incoming I/O.
+
+The service time for each path is estimated by dividing the total size
+of in-flight I/Os on a path with the performance value of the path.
+The performance value is a relative throughput value among all paths
+in a path-group, and it can be specified as a table argument.
+
+The path selector name is 'service-time'.
+
+Table parameters for each path: [<repeat_count> [<relative_throughput>]]
+ <repeat_count>: The number of I/Os to dispatch using the selected
+ path before switching to the next path.
+ If not given, internal default is used. To check
+ the default value, see the activated table.
+ <relative_throughput>: The relative throughput value of the path
+ among all paths in the path-group.
+ The valid range is 0-100.
+ If not given, minimum value '1' is used.
+ If '0' is given, the path isn't selected while
+ other paths having a positive value are available.
+
+Status for each path: <status> <fail-count> <in-flight-size> \
+ <relative_throughput>
+ <status>: 'A' if the path is active, 'F' if the path is failed.
+ <fail-count>: The number of path failures.
+ <in-flight-size>: The size of in-flight I/Os on the path.
+ <relative_throughput>: The relative throughput value of the path
+ among all paths in the path-group.
+
+
+Algorithm
+=========
+
+dm-service-time adds the I/O size to 'in-flight-size' when the I/O is
+dispatched and substracts when completed.
+Basically, dm-service-time selects a path having minimum service time
+which is calculated by:
+
+ ('in-flight-size' + 'size-of-incoming-io') / 'relative_throughput'
+
+However, some optimizations below are used to reduce the calculation
+as much as possible.
+
+ 1. If the paths have the same 'relative_throughput', skip
+ the division and just compare the 'in-flight-size'.
+
+ 2. If the paths have the same 'in-flight-size', skip the division
+ and just compare the 'relative_throughput'.
+
+ 3. If some paths have non-zero 'relative_throughput' and others
+ have zero 'relative_throughput', ignore those paths with zero
+ 'relative_throughput'.
+
+If such optimizations can't be applied, calculate service time, and
+compare service time.
+If calculated service time is equal, the path having maximum
+'relative_throughput' may be better. So compare 'relative_throughput'
+then.
+
+
+Examples
+========
+In case that 2 paths (sda and sdb) are used with repeat_count == 128
+and sda has an average throughput 1GB/s and sdb has 4GB/s,
+'relative_throughput' value may be '1' for sda and '4' for sdb.
+
+# echo "0 10 multipath 0 0 1 1 service-time 0 2 2 8:0 128 1 8:16 128 4" \
+ dmsetup create test
+#
+# dmsetup table
+test: 0 10 multipath 0 0 1 1 service-time 0 2 2 8:0 128 1 8:16 128 4
+#
+# dmsetup status
+test: 0 10 multipath 2 0 0 0 1 1 E 0 2 2 8:0 A 0 0 1 8:16 A 0 0 4
+
+
+Or '2' for sda and '8' for sdb would be also true.
+
+# echo "0 10 multipath 0 0 1 1 service-time 0 2 2 8:0 128 2 8:16 128 8" \

+Using gcov with the Linux kernel
+================================
+
+1. Introduction
+2. Preparation
+3. Customization
+4. Files
+5. Modules
+6. Separated build and test machines
+7. Troubleshooting
+Appendix A: sample script: gather_on_build.sh
+Appendix B: sample script: gather_on_test.sh
+
+
+1. Introduction
+===============
+
+gcov profiling kernel support enables the use of GCC's coverage testing
+tool gcov [1] with the Linux kernel. Coverage data of a running kernel
+is exported in gcov-compatible format via the "gcov" debugfs directory.
+To get coverage data for a specific file, change to the kernel build
+directory and use gcov with the -o option as follows (requires root):
+
+# cd /tmp/linux-out
+# gcov -o /sys/kernel/debug/gcov/tmp/linux-out/kernel spinlock.c
+
+This will create source code files annotated with execution counts
+in the current directory. In addition, graphical gcov front-ends such
+as lcov [2] can be used to automate the process of collecting data
+for the entire kernel and provide coverage overviews in HTML format.
+
+Possible uses:
+
+* debugging (has this line been reached at all?)
+* test improvement (how do I change my test to cover these lines?)
+* minimizing kernel configurations (do I need this option if the
+ associated code is never run?)
+
+--
+
+[1] http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/Gcov.html
+[2] http://ltp.sourceforge.net/coverage/lcov.php
+
+
+2. Preparation
+==============
+
+Configure the kernel with:
+
+ CONFIG_DEBUGFS=y
+ CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL=y
+
+and to get coverage data for the entire kernel:
+
+ CONFIG_GCOV_PROFILE_ALL=y
+
+Note that kernels compiled with profiling flags will be significantly
+larger and run slower. Also CONFIG_GCOV_PROFILE_ALL may not be supported
+on all architectures.
+
+Profiling data will only become accessible once debugfs has been
+mounted:
+
+ mount -t debugfs none /sys/kernel/debug
+
+
+3. Customization
+================
+
+To enable profiling for specific files or directories, add a line
+similar to the following to the respective kernel Makefile:
+
+ For a single file (e.g. main.o):
+ GCOV_PROFILE_main.o := y
+
+ For all files in one directory:
+ GCOV_PROFILE := y
+
+To exclude files from being profiled even when CONFIG_GCOV_PROFILE_ALL
+is specified, use:
+
+ GCOV_PROFILE_main.o := n
+ and:
+ GCOV_PROFILE := n
+
+Only files which are linked to the main kernel image or are compiled as
+kernel modules are supported by this mechanism.
+
+
+4. Files
+========
+
+The gcov kernel support creates the following files in debugfs:
+
+ /sys/kernel/debug/gcov
+ Parent directory for all gcov-related files.
+
+ /sys/kernel/debug/gcov/reset
+ Global reset file: resets all coverage data to zero when
+ written to.
+
+ /sys/kernel/debug/gcov/path/to/compile/dir/file.gcda
+ The actual gcov data file as understood by the gcov
+ tool. Resets file coverage data to zero when written to.
+
+ /sys/kernel/debug/gcov/path/to/compile/dir/file.gcno
+ Symbolic link to a static data file required by the gcov
+ tool. This file is generated by gcc when compiling with
+ option -ftest-coverage.
+
+
+5. Modules
+==========
+
+Kernel modules may contain cleanup code which is only run during
+module unload time. The gcov mechanism provides a means to collect
+coverage data for such code by keeping a copy of the data associated
+with the unloaded module. This data remains available through debugfs.
+Once the module is loaded again, the associated coverage counters are
+initialized with the data from its previous instantiation.
+
+This behavior can be deactivated by specifying the gcov_persist kernel
+parameter:
+
+ gcov_persist=0
+
+At run-time, a user can also choose to discard data for an unloaded
+module by writing to its data file or the global reset file.
+
+
+6. Separated build and test machines
+====================================
+
+The gcov kernel profiling infrastructure is designed to work out-of-the
+box for setups where kernels are built and run on the same machine. In
+cases where the kernel runs on a separate machine, special preparations
+must be made, depending on where the gcov tool is used:
+
+a) gcov is run on the TEST machine
+
+The gcov tool version on the test machine must be compatible with the
+gcc version used for kernel build. Also the following files need to be
+copied from build to test machine:
+
+from the source tree:
+ - all C source files + headers
+
+from the build tree:
+ - all C source files + headers
+ - all .gcda and .gcno files
+ - all links to directories
+
+It is important to note that these files need to be placed into the
+exact same file system location on the test machine as on the build
+machine. If any of the path components is symbolic link, the actual
+directory needs to be used instead (due to make's CURDIR handling).
+
+b) gcov is run on the BUILD machine
+
+The following files need to be copied after each test case from test
+to build machine:
+
+from the gcov directory in sysfs:
+ - all .gcda files
+ - all links to .gcno files
+
+These files can be copied to any location on the build machine. gcov
+must then be called with the -o option pointing to that directory.
+
+Example directory setup on the build machine:
+
+ /tmp/linux: kernel source tree
+ /tmp/out: kernel build directory as specified by make O=
+ /tmp/coverage: location of the files copied from the test machine
+
+ [user@build] cd /tmp/out
+ [user@build] gcov -o /tmp/coverage/tmp/out/init main.c
+
+
+7. Troubleshooting
+==================
+
+Problem: Compilation aborts during linker step.
+Cause: Profiling flags are specified for source files which are not
+ linked to the main kernel or which are linked by a custom
+ linker procedure.
+Solution: Exclude affected source files from profiling by specifying
+ GCOV_PROFILE := n or GCOV_PROFILE_basename.o := n in the
+ corresponding Makefile.
+
+Problem: Files copied from sysfs appear empty or incomplete.
+Cause: Due to the way seq_file works, some tools such as cp or tar
+ may not correctly copy files from sysfs.
+Solution: Use 'cat' to read .gcda files and 'cp -d' to copy links.
+ Alternatively use the mechanism shown in Appendix B.
+

+
+Method 4: Instantiate from user-space
+-------------------------------------
+
+In general, the kernel should know which I2C devices are connected and
+what addresses they live at. However, in certain cases, it does not, so a
+sysfs interface was added to let the user provide the information. This
+interface is made of 2 attribute files which are created in every I2C bus
+directory: new_device and delete_device. Both files are write only and you
+must write the right parameters to them in order to properly instantiate,
+respectively delete, an I2C device.
+
+File new_device takes 2 parameters: the name of the I2C device (a string)
+and the address of the I2C device (a number, typically expressed in
+hexadecimal starting with 0x, but can also be expressed in decimal.)
+
+File delete_device takes a single parameter: the address of the I2C
+device. As no two devices can live at the same address on a given I2C
+segment, the address is sufficient to uniquely identify the device to be
+deleted.
+
+Example:
+# echo eeprom 0x50 > /sys/class/i2c-adapter/i2c-3/new_device
+
+While this interface should only be used when in-kernel device declaration
+can't be done, there is a variety of cases where it can be helpful:
+* The I2C driver usually detects devices (method 3 above) but the bus
+ segment your device lives on doesn't have the proper class bit set and
+ thus detection doesn't trigger.
+* The I2C driver usually detects devices, but your device lives at an
+ unexpected address.
+* The I2C driver usually detects devices, but your device is not detected,
+ either because the detection routine is too strict, or because your
+ device is not officially supported yet but you know it is compatible.
+* You are developing a driver on a test board, where you soldered the I2C
+ device yourself.
+
+This interface is a replacement for the force_* module parameters some I2C
+drivers implement. Being implemented in i2c-core rather than in each
+device driver individually, it is much more efficient, and also has the
+advantage that you do not have to reload the driver to change a setting.
+You can also instantiate the device before the driver is loaded or even
+available, and you don't need to know what driver the device needs.

-Docking / undocking -- /proc/acpi/ibm/dock
-------------------------------------------
-
-Docking and undocking (e.g. with the X4 UltraBase) requires some
-actions to be taken by the operating system to safely make or break
-the electrical connections with the dock.
-
-The docking feature of this driver generates the following ACPI events:
-
- ibm/dock GDCK 00000003 00000001 -- eject request
- ibm/dock GDCK 00000003 00000002 -- undocked
- ibm/dock GDCK 00000000 00000003 -- docked
-
-NOTE: These events will only be generated if the laptop was docked
-when originally booted. This is due to the current lack of support for
-hot plugging of devices in the Linux ACPI framework. If the laptop was
-booted while not in the dock, the following message is shown in the
-logs:
-
- Mar 17 01:42:34 aero kernel: thinkpad_acpi: dock device not present
-
-In this case, no dock-related events are generated but the dock and
-undock commands described below still work. They can be executed
-manually or triggered by Fn key combinations (see the example acpid
-configuration files included in the driver tarball package available
-on the web site).
-
-When the eject request button on the dock is pressed, the first event
-above is generated. The handler for this event should issue the
-following command:
-
- echo undock > /proc/acpi/ibm/dock
-
-After the LED on the dock goes off, it is safe to eject the laptop.
-Note: if you pressed this key by mistake, go ahead and eject the
-laptop, then dock it back in. Otherwise, the dock may not function as
-expected.
-
-When the laptop is docked, the third event above is generated. The
-handler for this event should issue the following command to fully
-enable the dock:
-
- echo dock > /proc/acpi/ibm/dock
-
-The contents of the /proc/acpi/ibm/dock file shows the current status
-of the dock, as provided by the ACPI framework.
-
-The docking support in this driver does not take care of enabling or
-disabling any other devices you may have attached to the dock. For
-example, a CD drive plugged into the UltraBase needs to be disabled or
-enabled separately. See the provided example acpid configuration files
-for how this can be accomplished.
-
-There is no support yet for PCI devices that may be attached to a
-docking station, e.g. in the ThinkPad Dock II. The driver currently
-does not recognize, enable or disable such devices. This means that
-the only docking stations currently supported are the X-series
-UltraBase docks and "dumb" port replicators like the Mini Dock (the
-latter don't need any ACPI support, actually).
-
-
-UltraBay eject -- /proc/acpi/ibm/bay
-------------------------------------
-
-Inserting or ejecting an UltraBay device requires some actions to be
-taken by the operating system to safely make or break the electrical
-connections with the device.
-
-This feature generates the following ACPI events:
-
- ibm/bay MSTR 00000003 00000000 -- eject request
- ibm/bay MSTR 00000001 00000000 -- eject lever inserted
-
-NOTE: These events will only be generated if the UltraBay was present
-when the laptop was originally booted (on the X series, the UltraBay
-is in the dock, so it may not be present if the laptop was undocked).
-This is due to the current lack of support for hot plugging of devices
-in the Linux ACPI framework. If the laptop was booted without the
-UltraBay, the following message is shown in the logs:
-
- Mar 17 01:42:34 aero kernel: thinkpad_acpi: bay device not present
-
-In this case, no bay-related events are generated but the eject
-command described below still works. It can be executed manually or
-triggered by a hot key combination.
-
-Sliding the eject lever generates the first event shown above. The
-handler for this event should take whatever actions are necessary to
-shut down the device in the UltraBay (e.g. call idectl), then issue
-the following command:
-
- echo eject > /proc/acpi/ibm/bay
-
-After the LED on the UltraBay goes off, it is safe to pull out the
-device.
-
-When the eject lever is inserted, the second event above is
-generated. The handler for this event should take whatever actions are
-necessary to enable the UltraBay device (e.g. call idectl).
-
-The contents of the /proc/acpi/ibm/bay file shows the current status
-of the UltraBay, as provided by the ACPI framework.
-
-EXPERIMENTAL warm eject support on the 600e/x, A22p and A3x (To use
-this feature, you need to supply the experimental=1 parameter when
-loading the module):
-
-These models do not have a button near the UltraBay device to request
-a hot eject but rather require the laptop to be put to sleep
-(suspend-to-ram) before the bay device is ejected or inserted).
-The sequence of steps to eject the device is as follows:
-
- echo eject > /proc/acpi/ibm/bay
- put the ThinkPad to sleep
- remove the drive
- resume from sleep
- cat /proc/acpi/ibm/bay should show that the drive was removed
-
-On the A3x, both the UltraBay 2000 and UltraBay Plus devices are
-supported. Use "eject2" instead of "eject" for the second bay.
-
-Note: the UltraBay eject support on the 600e/x, A22p and A3x is
-EXPERIMENTAL and may not work as expected. USE WITH CAUTION!

+Kernel driver lp3944
+====================
+
+ * National Semiconductor LP3944 Fun-light Chip
+ Prefix: 'lp3944'
+ Addresses scanned: None (see the Notes section below)
+ Datasheet: Publicly available at the National Semiconductor website
+ http://www.national.com/pf/LP/LP3944.html
+
+Authors:
+ Antonio Ospite <ospite@studenti.unina.it>
+
+
+Description
+-----------
+The LP3944 is a helper chip that can drive up to 8 leds, with two programmable
+DIM modes; it could even be used as a gpio expander but this driver assumes it
+is used as a led controller.
+
+The DIM modes are used to set _blink_ patterns for leds, the pattern is
+specified supplying two parameters:
+ - period: from 0s to 1.6s
+ - duty cycle: percentage of the period the led is on, from 0 to 100
+
+Setting a led in DIM0 or DIM1 mode makes it blink according to the pattern.
+See the datasheet for details.
+
+LP3944 can be found on Motorola A910 smartphone, where it drives the rgb
+leds, the camera flash light and the lcds power.
+
+
+Notes
+-----
+The chip is used mainly in embedded contexts, so this driver expects it is
+registered using the i2c_board_info mechanism.
+
+To register the chip at address 0x60 on adapter 0, set the platform data
+according to include/linux/leds-lp3944.h, set the i2c board info:
+
+ static struct i2c_board_info __initdata a910_i2c_board_info[] = {
+ {
+ I2C_BOARD_INFO("lp3944", 0x60),
+ .platform_data = &a910_lp3944_leds,
+ },
+ };
+
+and register it in the platform init function
+
+ i2c_register_board_info(0, a910_i2c_board_info,
+ ARRAY_SIZE(a910_i2c_board_info));

defined; this list will expand as more and more SOC-containing
platforms are moved over to use the flattened-device-tree model.
- a) PHY nodes
-
- Required properties:
-
- - device_type : Should be "ethernet-phy"
- - interrupts : <a b> where a is the interrupt number and b is a
- field that represents an encoding of the sense and level
- information for the interrupt. This should be encoded based on
- the information in section 2) depending on the type of interrupt
- controller you have.
- - interrupt-parent : the phandle for the interrupt controller that
- services interrupts for this device.
- - reg : The ID number for the phy, usually a small integer
- - linux,phandle : phandle for this node; likely referenced by an
- ethernet controller node.
-
-
- Example:
-
- ethernet-phy@0 {
- linux,phandle = <2452000>
- interrupt-parent = <40000>;
- interrupts = <35 1>;
- reg = <0>;
- device_type = "ethernet-phy";
- };
-
-
- b) Interrupt controllers
-
- Some SOC devices contain interrupt controllers that are different
- from the standard Open PIC specification. The SOC device nodes for
- these types of controllers should be specified just like a standard
- OpenPIC controller. Sense and level information should be encoded
- as specified in section 2) of this chapter for each device that
- specifies an interrupt.
-
- Example :
-
- pic@40000 {
- linux,phandle = <40000>;
- interrupt-controller;
- #address-cells = <0>;
- reg = <40000 40000>;
- compatible = "chrp,open-pic";
- device_type = "open-pic";
- };
-
- c) 4xx/Axon EMAC ethernet nodes
-
- The EMAC ethernet controller in IBM and AMCC 4xx chips, and also
- the Axon bridge. To operate this needs to interact with a ths
- special McMAL DMA controller, and sometimes an RGMII or ZMII
- interface. In addition to the nodes and properties described
- below, the node for the OPB bus on which the EMAC sits must have a
- correct clock-frequency property.
-
- i) The EMAC node itself
-
- Required properties:
- - device_type : "network"
-
- - compatible : compatible list, contains 2 entries, first is
- "ibm,emac-CHIP" where CHIP is the host ASIC (440gx,
- 405gp, Axon) and second is either "ibm,emac" or
- "ibm,emac4". For Axon, thus, we have: "ibm,emac-axon",
- "ibm,emac4"
- - interrupts : <interrupt mapping for EMAC IRQ and WOL IRQ>

- thresholds).
- For Axon, 0x00000010
- - mal-burst-size : 1 cell, MAL burst size (used to calculate thresholds)
- in bytes.
- For Axon, 0x00000100 (I think ...)
- - phy-mode : string, mode of operations of the PHY interface.
- Supported values are: "mii", "rmii", "smii", "rgmii",
- "tbi", "gmii", rtbi", "sgmii".
- For Axon on CAB, it is "rgmii"
- - mdio-device : 1 cell, required iff using shared MDIO registers
- (440EP). phandle of the EMAC to use to drive the
- MDIO lines for the PHY used by this EMAC.
- - zmii-device : 1 cell, required iff connected to a ZMII. phandle of
- the ZMII device node
- - zmii-channel : 1 cell, required iff connected to a ZMII. Which ZMII
- channel or 0xffffffff if ZMII is only used for MDIO.
- - rgmii-device : 1 cell, required iff connected to an RGMII. phandle
- of the RGMII device node.
- For Axon: phandle of plb5/plb4/opb/rgmii
- - rgmii-channel : 1 cell, required iff connected to an RGMII. Which
- RGMII channel is used by this EMAC.
- Fox Axon: present, whatever value is appropriate for each
- EMAC, that is the content of the current (bogus) "phy-port"
- property.
-
- Optional properties:
- - phy-address : 1 cell, optional, MDIO address of the PHY. If absent,
- a search is performed.
- - phy-map : 1 cell, optional, bitmap of addresses to probe the PHY
- for, used if phy-address is absent. bit 0x00000001 is
- MDIO address 0.
- For Axon it can be absent, though my current driver
- doesn't handle phy-address yet so for now, keep
- 0x00ffffff in it.
- - rx-fifo-size-gige : 1 cell, Rx fifo size in bytes for 1000 Mb/sec
- operations (if absent the value is the same as
- rx-fifo-size). For Axon, either absent or 2048.
- - tx-fifo-size-gige : 1 cell, Tx fifo size in bytes for 1000 Mb/sec
- operations (if absent the value is the same as

- phy-map = <00000001>;
- zmii-device = <&ZMII0>;
- zmii-channel = <0>;
- };
-
- ii) McMAL node
-
- Required properties:
- - device_type : "dma-controller"
- - compatible : compatible list, containing 2 entries, first is
- "ibm,mcmal-CHIP" where CHIP is the host ASIC (like
- emac) and the second is either "ibm,mcmal" or
- "ibm,mcmal2".
- For Axon, "ibm,mcmal-axon","ibm,mcmal2"
- - interrupts : <interrupt mapping for the MAL interrupts sources:
- 5 sources: tx_eob, rx_eob, serr, txde, rxde>.
- For Axon: This is _different_ from the current
- firmware. We use the "delayed" interrupts for txeob
- and rxeob. Thus we end up with mapping those 5 MPIC
- interrupts, all level positive sensitive: 10, 11, 32,
- 33, 34 (in decimal)
- - dcr-reg : < DCR registers range >
- - dcr-parent : if needed for dcr-reg
- - num-tx-chans : 1 cell, number of Tx channels
- - num-rx-chans : 1 cell, number of Rx channels
-
- iii) ZMII node
-
- Required properties:
- - compatible : compatible list, containing 2 entries, first is
- "ibm,zmii-CHIP" where CHIP is the host ASIC (like
- EMAC) and the second is "ibm,zmii".
- For Axon, there is no ZMII node.
- - reg : <registers mapping>
-
- iv) RGMII node
-
- Required properties:
- - compatible : compatible list, containing 2 entries, first is
- "ibm,rgmii-CHIP" where CHIP is the host ASIC (like
- EMAC) and the second is "ibm,rgmii".
- For Axon, "ibm,rgmii-axon","ibm,rgmii"
- - reg : <registers mapping>
- - revision : as provided by the RGMII new version register if
- available.
- For Axon: 0x0000012a
-
- d) Xilinx IP cores
-
- The Xilinx EDK toolchain ships with a set of IP cores (devices) for use
- in Xilinx Spartan and Virtex FPGAs. The devices cover the whole range
- of standard device types (network, serial, etc.) and miscellaneous
- devices (gpio, LCD, spi, etc). Also, since these devices are
- implemented within the fpga fabric every instance of the device can be
- synthesised with different options that change the behaviour.
-
- Each IP-core has a set of parameters which the FPGA designer can use to
- control how the core is synthesized. Historically, the EDK tool would
- extract the device parameters relevant to device drivers and copy them
- into an 'xparameters.h' in the form of #define symbols. This tells the
- device drivers how the IP cores are configured, but it requres the kernel
- to be recompiled every time the FPGA bitstream is resynthesized.
-
- The new approach is to export the parameters into the device tree and
- generate a new device tree each time the FPGA bitstream changes. The
- parameters which used to be exported as #defines will now become
- properties of the device node. In general, device nodes for IP-cores
- will take the following form:
-
- (name): (generic-name)@(base-address) {
- compatible = "xlnx,(ip-core-name)-(HW_VER)"
- [, (list of compatible devices), ...];
- reg = <(baseaddr) (size)>;
- interrupt-parent = <&interrupt-controller-phandle>;
- interrupts = < ... >;
- xlnx,(parameter1) = "(string-value)";
- xlnx,(parameter2) = <(int-value)>;
- };
-
- (generic-name): an open firmware-style name that describes the
- generic class of device. Preferably, this is one word, such
- as 'serial' or 'ethernet'.
- (ip-core-name): the name of the ip block (given after the BEGIN
- directive in system.mhs). Should be in lowercase
- and all underscores '_' converted to dashes '-'.
- (name): is derived from the "PARAMETER INSTANCE" value.
- (parameter#): C_* parameters from system.mhs. The C_ prefix is
- dropped from the parameter name, the name is converted
- to lowercase and all underscore '_' characters are
- converted to dashes '-'.
- (baseaddr): the baseaddr parameter value (often named C_BASEADDR).
- (HW_VER): from the HW_VER parameter.
- (size): the address range size (often C_HIGHADDR - C_BASEADDR + 1).
-
- Typically, the compatible list will include the exact IP core version
- followed by an older IP core version which implements the same
- interface or any other device with the same interface.
-
- 'reg', 'interrupt-parent' and 'interrupts' are all optional properties.
-
- For example, the following block from system.mhs:
-
- BEGIN opb_uartlite
- PARAMETER INSTANCE = opb_uartlite_0
- PARAMETER HW_VER = 1.00.b
- PARAMETER C_BAUDRATE = 115200
- PARAMETER C_DATA_BITS = 8
- PARAMETER C_ODD_PARITY = 0
- PARAMETER C_USE_PARITY = 0
- PARAMETER C_CLK_FREQ = 50000000
- PARAMETER C_BASEADDR = 0xEC100000
- PARAMETER C_HIGHADDR = 0xEC10FFFF
- BUS_INTERFACE SOPB = opb_7
- PORT OPB_Clk = CLK_50MHz
- PORT Interrupt = opb_uartlite_0_Interrupt
- PORT RX = opb_uartlite_0_RX
- PORT TX = opb_uartlite_0_TX
- PORT OPB_Rst = sys_bus_reset_0
- END
-
- becomes the following device tree node:
-
- opb_uartlite_0: serial@ec100000 {
- device_type = "serial";
- compatible = "xlnx,opb-uartlite-1.00.b";
- reg = <ec100000 10000>;
- interrupt-parent = <&opb_intc_0>;
- interrupts = <1 0>; // got this from the opb_intc parameters
- current-speed = <d#115200>; // standard serial device prop
- clock-frequency = <d#50000000>; // standard serial device prop
- xlnx,data-bits = <8>;
- xlnx,odd-parity = <0>;
- xlnx,use-parity = <0>;
- };
-
- Some IP cores actually implement 2 or more logical devices. In
- this case, the device should still describe the whole IP core with
- a single node and add a child node for each logical device. The
- ranges property can be used to translate from parent IP-core to the
- registers of each device. In addition, the parent node should be
- compatible with the bus type 'xlnx,compound', and should contain
- #address-cells and #size-cells, as with any other bus. (Note: this
- makes the assumption that both logical devices have the same bus
- binding. If this is not true, then separate nodes should be used
- for each logical device). The 'cell-index' property can be used to
- enumerate logical devices within an IP core. For example, the
- following is the system.mhs entry for the dual ps2 controller found
- on the ml403 reference design.
-
- BEGIN opb_ps2_dual_ref
- PARAMETER INSTANCE = opb_ps2_dual_ref_0
- PARAMETER HW_VER = 1.00.a
- PARAMETER C_BASEADDR = 0xA9000000
- PARAMETER C_HIGHADDR = 0xA9001FFF
- BUS_INTERFACE SOPB = opb_v20_0
- PORT Sys_Intr1 = ps2_1_intr
- PORT Sys_Intr2 = ps2_2_intr
- PORT Clkin1 = ps2_clk_rx_1
- PORT Clkin2 = ps2_clk_rx_2
- PORT Clkpd1 = ps2_clk_tx_1
- PORT Clkpd2 = ps2_clk_tx_2
- PORT Rx1 = ps2_d_rx_1
- PORT Rx2 = ps2_d_rx_2
- PORT Txpd1 = ps2_d_tx_1
- PORT Txpd2 = ps2_d_tx_2
- END
-
- It would result in the following device tree nodes:
-
- opb_ps2_dual_ref_0: opb-ps2-dual-ref@a9000000 {
- #address-cells = <1>;
- #size-cells = <1>;
- compatible = "xlnx,compound";
- ranges = <0 a9000000 2000>;
- // If this device had extra parameters, then they would
- // go here.
- ps2@0 {
- compatible = "xlnx,opb-ps2-dual-ref-1.00.a";
- reg = <0 40>;
- interrupt-parent = <&opb_intc_0>;
- interrupts = <3 0>;
- cell-index = <0>;
- };
- ps2@1000 {
- compatible = "xlnx,opb-ps2-dual-ref-1.00.a";
- reg = <1000 40>;
- interrupt-parent = <&opb_intc_0>;
- interrupts = <3 0>;
- cell-index = <0>;
- };
- };
-
- Also, the system.mhs file defines bus attachments from the processor
- to the devices. The device tree structure should reflect the bus
- attachments. Again an example; this system.mhs fragment:
-
- BEGIN ppc405_virtex4
- PARAMETER INSTANCE = ppc405_0
- PARAMETER HW_VER = 1.01.a
- BUS_INTERFACE DPLB = plb_v34_0
- BUS_INTERFACE IPLB = plb_v34_0
- END
-
- BEGIN opb_intc
- PARAMETER INSTANCE = opb_intc_0
- PARAMETER HW_VER = 1.00.c
- PARAMETER C_BASEADDR = 0xD1000FC0
- PARAMETER C_HIGHADDR = 0xD1000FDF
- BUS_INTERFACE SOPB = opb_v20_0
- END
-
- BEGIN opb_uart16550
- PARAMETER INSTANCE = opb_uart16550_0
- PARAMETER HW_VER = 1.00.d
- PARAMETER C_BASEADDR = 0xa0000000
- PARAMETER C_HIGHADDR = 0xa0001FFF
- BUS_INTERFACE SOPB = opb_v20_0
- END
-
- BEGIN plb_v34
- PARAMETER INSTANCE = plb_v34_0
- PARAMETER HW_VER = 1.02.a
- END
-
- BEGIN plb_bram_if_cntlr
- PARAMETER INSTANCE = plb_bram_if_cntlr_0
- PARAMETER HW_VER = 1.00.b
- PARAMETER C_BASEADDR = 0xFFFF0000
- PARAMETER C_HIGHADDR = 0xFFFFFFFF
- BUS_INTERFACE SPLB = plb_v34_0
- END
-
- BEGIN plb2opb_bridge
- PARAMETER INSTANCE = plb2opb_bridge_0
- PARAMETER HW_VER = 1.01.a
- PARAMETER C_RNG0_BASEADDR = 0x20000000
- PARAMETER C_RNG0_HIGHADDR = 0x3FFFFFFF
- PARAMETER C_RNG1_BASEADDR = 0x60000000
- PARAMETER C_RNG1_HIGHADDR = 0x7FFFFFFF
- PARAMETER C_RNG2_BASEADDR = 0x80000000
- PARAMETER C_RNG2_HIGHADDR = 0xBFFFFFFF
- PARAMETER C_RNG3_BASEADDR = 0xC0000000
- PARAMETER C_RNG3_HIGHADDR = 0xDFFFFFFF
- BUS_INTERFACE SPLB = plb_v34_0
- BUS_INTERFACE MOPB = opb_v20_0
- END
-
- Gives this device tree (some properties removed for clarity):
-
- plb@0 {
- #address-cells = <1>;
- #size-cells = <1>;
- compatible = "xlnx,plb-v34-1.02.a";
- device_type = "ibm,plb";
- ranges; // 1:1 translation
-
- plb_bram_if_cntrl_0: bram@ffff0000 {
- reg = <ffff0000 10000>;
- }
-
- opb@20000000 {
- #address-cells = <1>;
- #size-cells = <1>;
- ranges = <20000000 20000000 20000000
- 60000000 60000000 20000000
- 80000000 80000000 40000000
- c0000000 c0000000 20000000>;
-
- opb_uart16550_0: serial@a0000000 {
- reg = <a00000000 2000>;
- };
-
- opb_intc_0: interrupt-controller@d1000fc0 {
- reg = <d1000fc0 20>;
- };
- };
- };
-
- That covers the general approach to binding xilinx IP cores into the
- device tree. The following are bindings for specific devices:
-
- i) Xilinx ML300 Framebuffer
-
- Simple framebuffer device from the ML300 reference design (also on the
- ML403 reference design as well as others).
-
- Optional properties:
- - resolution = <xres yres> : pixel resolution of framebuffer. Some
- implementations use a different resolution.
- Default is <d#640 d#480>
- - virt-resolution = <xvirt yvirt> : Size of framebuffer in memory.
- Default is <d#1024 d#480>.
- - rotate-display (empty) : rotate display 180 degrees.
-
- ii) Xilinx SystemACE
-
- The Xilinx SystemACE device is used to program FPGAs from an FPGA
- bitstream stored on a CF card. It can also be used as a generic CF
- interface device.
-
- Optional properties:
- - 8-bit (empty) : Set this property for SystemACE in 8 bit mode
-
- iii) Xilinx EMAC and Xilinx TEMAC
-
- Xilinx Ethernet devices. In addition to general xilinx properties
- listed above, nodes for these devices should include a phy-handle
- property, and may include other common network device properties
- like local-mac-address.
-
- iv) Xilinx Uartlite
-
- Xilinx uartlite devices are simple fixed speed serial ports.
-
- Required properties:
- - current-speed : Baud rate of uartlite
-
- v) Xilinx hwicap
-
- Xilinx hwicap devices provide access to the configuration logic
- of the FPGA through the Internal Configuration Access Port
- (ICAP). The ICAP enables partial reconfiguration of the FPGA,
- readback of the configuration information, and some control over
- 'warm boots' of the FPGA fabric.
-
- Required properties:
- - xlnx,family : The family of the FPGA, necessary since the
- capabilities of the underlying ICAP hardware
- differ between different families. May be
- 'virtex2p', 'virtex4', or 'virtex5'.
-
- vi) Xilinx Uart 16550
-
- Xilinx UART 16550 devices are very similar to the NS16550 but with
- different register spacing and an offset from the base address.
-
- Required properties:
- - clock-frequency : Frequency of the clock input
- - reg-offset : A value of 3 is required
- - reg-shift : A value of 2 is required
-
- e) USB EHCI controllers
-
- Required properties:
- - compatible : should be "usb-ehci".
- - reg : should contain at least address and length of the standard EHCI
- register set for the device. Optional platform-dependent registers
- (debug-port or other) can be also specified here, but only after
- definition of standard EHCI registers.
- - interrupts : one EHCI interrupt should be described here.
- If device registers are implemented in big endian mode, the device
- node should have "big-endian-regs" property.
- If controller implementation operates with big endian descriptors,
- "big-endian-desc" property should be specified.
- If both big endian registers and descriptors are used by the controller
- implementation, "big-endian" property can be specified instead of having
- both "big-endian-regs" and "big-endian-desc".
-
- Example (Sequoia 440EPx):
- ehci@e0000300 {
- compatible = "ibm,usb-ehci-440epx", "usb-ehci";
- interrupt-parent = <&UIC0>;
- interrupts = <1a 4>;
- reg = <0 e0000300 90 0 e0000390 70>;
- big-endian;
- };
-
- f) MDIO on GPIOs
-
- Currently defined compatibles:
- - virtual,gpio-mdio
-
- MDC and MDIO lines connected to GPIO controllers are listed in the
- gpios property as described in section VIII.1 in the following order:
-
- MDC, MDIO.
-
- Example:
-
- mdio {
- compatible = "virtual,mdio-gpio";
- #address-cells = <1>;
- #size-cells = <0>;
- gpios = <&qe_pio_a 11
- &qe_pio_c 6>;
- };
-
- g) SPI (Serial Peripheral Interface) busses
-
- SPI busses can be described with a node for the SPI master device
- and a set of child nodes for each SPI slave on the bus. For this
- discussion, it is assumed that the system's SPI controller is in
- SPI master mode. This binding does not describe SPI controllers
- in slave mode.
-
- The SPI master node requires the following properties:
- - #address-cells - number of cells required to define a chip select
- address on the SPI bus.
- - #size-cells - should be zero.
- - compatible - name of SPI bus controller following generic names
- recommended practice.
- No other properties are required in the SPI bus node. It is assumed
- that a driver for an SPI bus device will understand that it is an SPI bus.
- However, the binding does not attempt to define the specific method for
- assigning chip select numbers. Since SPI chip select configuration is
- flexible and non-standardized, it is left out of this binding with the
- assumption that board specific platform code will be used to manage
- chip selects. Individual drivers can define additional properties to
- support describing the chip select layout.
-
- SPI slave nodes must be children of the SPI master node and can
- contain the following properties.
- - reg - (required) chip select address of device.
- - compatible - (required) name of SPI device following generic names
- recommended practice
- - spi-max-frequency - (required) Maximum SPI clocking speed of device in Hz

-VII - Marvell Discovery mv64[345]6x System Controller chips
-===========================================================
-
-The Marvell mv64[345]60 series of system controller chips contain
-many of the peripherals needed to implement a complete computer
-system. In this section, we define device tree nodes to describe
-the system controller chip itself and each of the peripherals
-which it contains. Compatible string values for each node are
-prefixed with the string "marvell,", for Marvell Technology Group Ltd.
-
-1) The /system-controller node
-
- This node is used to represent the system-controller and must be
- present when the system uses a system controller chip. The top-level
- system-controller node contains information that is global to all
- devices within the system controller chip. The node name begins
- with "system-controller" followed by the unit address, which is
- the base address of the memory-mapped register set for the system
- controller chip.
-
- Required properties:
-
- - ranges : Describes the translation of system controller addresses
- for memory mapped registers.
- - clock-frequency: Contains the main clock frequency for the system
- controller chip.
- - reg : This property defines the address and size of the
- memory-mapped registers contained within the system controller
- chip. The address specified in the "reg" property should match
- the unit address of the system-controller node.
- - #address-cells : Address representation for system controller
- devices. This field represents the number of cells needed to
- represent the address of the memory-mapped registers of devices
- within the system controller chip.
- - #size-cells : Size representation for for the memory-mapped
- registers within the system controller chip.
- - #interrupt-cells : Defines the width of cells used to represent
- interrupts.
-
- Optional properties:
-
- - model : The specific model of the system controller chip. Such
- as, "mv64360", "mv64460", or "mv64560".
- - compatible : A string identifying the compatibility identifiers
- of the system controller chip.
-
- The system-controller node contains child nodes for each system
- controller device that the platform uses. Nodes should not be created
- for devices which exist on the system controller chip but are not used
-
- Example Marvell Discovery mv64360 system-controller node:
-
- system-controller@f1000000 { /* Marvell Discovery mv64360 */
- #address-cells = <1>;
- #size-cells = <1>;
- model = "mv64360"; /* Default */
- compatible = "marvell,mv64360";
- clock-frequency = <133333333>;
- reg = <0xf1000000 0x10000>;
- virtual-reg = <0xf1000000>;
- ranges = <0x88000000 0x88000000 0x1000000 /* PCI 0 I/O Space */
- 0x80000000 0x80000000 0x8000000 /* PCI 0 MEM Space */
- 0xa0000000 0xa0000000 0x4000000 /* User FLASH */
- 0x00000000 0xf1000000 0x0010000 /* Bridge's regs */
- 0xf2000000 0xf2000000 0x0040000>;/* Integrated SRAM */
-
- [ child node definitions... ]
- }
-
-2) Child nodes of /system-controller
-
- a) Marvell Discovery MDIO bus
-
- The MDIO is a bus to which the PHY devices are connected. For each
- device that exists on this bus, a child node should be created. See
- the definition of the PHY node below for an example of how to define
- a PHY.
-
- Required properties:

-
-
- b) Marvell Discovery ethernet controller
-
- The Discover ethernet controller is described with two levels
- of nodes. The first level describes an ethernet silicon block
- and the second level describes up to 3 ethernet nodes within
- that block. The reason for the multiple levels is that the
- registers for the node are interleaved within a single set
- of registers. The "ethernet-block" level describes the
- shared register set, and the "ethernet" nodes describe ethernet
- port-specific properties.

+ 4xx/Axon EMAC ethernet nodes
+
+ The EMAC ethernet controller in IBM and AMCC 4xx chips, and also
+ the Axon bridge. To operate this needs to interact with a ths

+ - mdio-device : 1 cell, required iff using shared MDIO registers
+ (440EP). phandle of the EMAC to use to drive the

+ for, used if phy-address is absent. bit 0x00000001 is
+ MDIO address 0.
+ For Axon it can be absent, though my current driver
+ doesn't handle phy-address yet so for now, keep
+ 0x00ffffff in it.
+ - rx-fifo-size-gige : 1 cell, Rx fifo size in bytes for 1000 Mb/sec

+Specifying GPIO information for devices
+============================================
+
+1) gpios property
+-----------------
+
+Nodes that makes use of GPIOs should define them using `gpios' property,
+format of which is: <&gpio-controller1-phandle gpio1-specifier
+ &gpio-controller2-phandle gpio2-specifier
+ 0 /* holes are permitted, means no GPIO 3 */
+ &gpio-controller4-phandle gpio4-specifier
+ ...>;
+
+Note that gpio-specifier length is controller dependent.
+
+gpio-specifier may encode: bank, pin position inside the bank,
+whether pin is open-drain and whether pin is logically inverted.
+
+Example of the node using GPIOs:
+
+ node {
+ gpios = <&qe_pio_e 18 0>;
+ };
+
+In this example gpio-specifier is "18 0" and encodes GPIO pin number,
+and empty GPIO flags as accepted by the "qe_pio_e" gpio-controller.
+
+2) gpio-controller nodes
+------------------------
+
+Every GPIO controller node must have #gpio-cells property defined,
+this information will be used to translate gpio-specifiers.
+
+Example of two SOC GPIO banks defined as gpio-controller nodes:
+
+ qe_pio_a: gpio-controller@1400 {
+ #gpio-cells = <2>;

+Marvell Discovery mv64[345]6x System Controller chips
+===========================================================
+
+The Marvell mv64[345]60 series of system controller chips contain
+many of the peripherals needed to implement a complete computer
+system. In this section, we define device tree nodes to describe
+the system controller chip itself and each of the peripherals
+which it contains. Compatible string values for each node are
+prefixed with the string "marvell,", for Marvell Technology Group Ltd.
+
+1) The /system-controller node
+
+ This node is used to represent the system-controller and must be
+ present when the system uses a system controller chip. The top-level
+ system-controller node contains information that is global to all
+ devices within the system controller chip. The node name begins
+ with "system-controller" followed by the unit address, which is
+ the base address of the memory-mapped register set for the system
+ controller chip.
+
+ Required properties:
+
+ - ranges : Describes the translation of system controller addresses
+ for memory mapped registers.
+ - clock-frequency: Contains the main clock frequency for the system
+ controller chip.
+ - reg : This property defines the address and size of the
+ memory-mapped registers contained within the system controller
+ chip. The address specified in the "reg" property should match
+ the unit address of the system-controller node.
+ - #address-cells : Address representation for system controller
+ devices. This field represents the number of cells needed to
+ represent the address of the memory-mapped registers of devices
+ within the system controller chip.
+ - #size-cells : Size representation for for the memory-mapped
+ registers within the system controller chip.
+ - #interrupt-cells : Defines the width of cells used to represent
+ interrupts.
+
+ Optional properties:
+
+ - model : The specific model of the system controller chip. Such
+ as, "mv64360", "mv64460", or "mv64560".
+ - compatible : A string identifying the compatibility identifiers
+ of the system controller chip.
+
+ The system-controller node contains child nodes for each system
+ controller device that the platform uses. Nodes should not be created
+ for devices which exist on the system controller chip but are not used
+
+ Example Marvell Discovery mv64360 system-controller node:
+
+ system-controller@f1000000 { /* Marvell Discovery mv64360 */
+ #address-cells = <1>;
+ #size-cells = <1>;
+ model = "mv64360"; /* Default */
+ compatible = "marvell,mv64360";
+ clock-frequency = <133333333>;
+ reg = <0xf1000000 0x10000>;
+ virtual-reg = <0xf1000000>;
+ ranges = <0x88000000 0x88000000 0x1000000 /* PCI 0 I/O Space */
+ 0x80000000 0x80000000 0x8000000 /* PCI 0 MEM Space */
+ 0xa0000000 0xa0000000 0x4000000 /* User FLASH */
+ 0x00000000 0xf1000000 0x0010000 /* Bridge's regs */
+ 0xf2000000 0xf2000000 0x0040000>;/* Integrated SRAM */
+
+ [ child node definitions... ]
+ }
+
+2) Child nodes of /system-controller
+
+ a) Marvell Discovery MDIO bus
+
+ The MDIO is a bus to which the PHY devices are connected. For each
+ device that exists on this bus, a child node should be created. See
+ the definition of the PHY node below for an example of how to define
+ a PHY.
+
+ Required properties:
+ - #address-cells : Should be <1>

+ ethernet-phy@0 {
+ ......
+ };
+ };
+
+
+ b) Marvell Discovery ethernet controller
+
+ The Discover ethernet controller is described with two levels
+ of nodes. The first level describes an ethernet silicon block
+ and the second level describes up to 3 ethernet nodes within
+ that block. The reason for the multiple levels is that the
+ registers for the node are interleaved within a single set
+ of registers. The "ethernet-block" level describes the
+ shared register set, and the "ethernet" nodes describe ethernet
+ port-specific properties.

+SPI (Serial Peripheral Interface) busses
+
+SPI busses can be described with a node for the SPI master device
+and a set of child nodes for each SPI slave on the bus. For this
+discussion, it is assumed that the system's SPI controller is in
+SPI master mode. This binding does not describe SPI controllers
+in slave mode.
+
+The SPI master node requires the following properties:
+- #address-cells - number of cells required to define a chip select
+ address on the SPI bus.
+- #size-cells - should be zero.
+- compatible - name of SPI bus controller following generic names
+ recommended practice.
+No other properties are required in the SPI bus node. It is assumed
+that a driver for an SPI bus device will understand that it is an SPI bus.
+However, the binding does not attempt to define the specific method for
+assigning chip select numbers. Since SPI chip select configuration is
+flexible and non-standardized, it is left out of this binding with the
+assumption that board specific platform code will be used to manage
+chip selects. Individual drivers can define additional properties to
+support describing the chip select layout.
+
+SPI slave nodes must be children of the SPI master node and can
+contain the following properties.
+- reg - (required) chip select address of device.
+- compatible - (required) name of SPI device following generic names
+ recommended practice
+- spi-max-frequency - (required) Maximum SPI clocking speed of device in Hz
+- spi-cpol - (optional) Empty property indicating device requires
+ inverse clock polarity (CPOL) mode
+- spi-cpha - (optional) Empty property indicating device requires
+ shifted clock phase (CPHA) mode
+- spi-cs-high - (optional) Empty property indicating device requires
+ chip select active high

+ d) Xilinx IP cores
+
+ The Xilinx EDK toolchain ships with a set of IP cores (devices) for use
+ in Xilinx Spartan and Virtex FPGAs. The devices cover the whole range
+ of standard device types (network, serial, etc.) and miscellaneous
+ devices (gpio, LCD, spi, etc). Also, since these devices are
+ implemented within the fpga fabric every instance of the device can be
+ synthesised with different options that change the behaviour.
+
+ Each IP-core has a set of parameters which the FPGA designer can use to
+ control how the core is synthesized. Historically, the EDK tool would
+ extract the device parameters relevant to device drivers and copy them
+ into an 'xparameters.h' in the form of #define symbols. This tells the
+ device drivers how the IP cores are configured, but it requres the kernel
+ to be recompiled every time the FPGA bitstream is resynthesized.
+
+ The new approach is to export the parameters into the device tree and
+ generate a new device tree each time the FPGA bitstream changes. The
+ parameters which used to be exported as #defines will now become
+ properties of the device node. In general, device nodes for IP-cores
+ will take the following form:
+
+ (name): (generic-name)@(base-address) {
+ compatible = "xlnx,(ip-core-name)-(HW_VER)"
+ [, (list of compatible devices), ...];
+ reg = <(baseaddr) (size)>;
+ interrupt-parent = <&interrupt-controller-phandle>;
+ interrupts = < ... >;
+ xlnx,(parameter1) = "(string-value)";
+ xlnx,(parameter2) = <(int-value)>;
+ };
+
+ (generic-name): an open firmware-style name that describes the
+ generic class of device. Preferably, this is one word, such
+ as 'serial' or 'ethernet'.
+ (ip-core-name): the name of the ip block (given after the BEGIN
+ directive in system.mhs). Should be in lowercase
+ and all underscores '_' converted to dashes '-'.
+ (name): is derived from the "PARAMETER INSTANCE" value.
+ (parameter#): C_* parameters from system.mhs. The C_ prefix is
+ dropped from the parameter name, the name is converted
+ to lowercase and all underscore '_' characters are
+ converted to dashes '-'.
+ (baseaddr): the baseaddr parameter value (often named C_BASEADDR).
+ (HW_VER): from the HW_VER parameter.
+ (size): the address range size (often C_HIGHADDR - C_BASEADDR + 1).
+
+ Typically, the compatible list will include the exact IP core version
+ followed by an older IP core version which implements the same
+ interface or any other device with the same interface.
+
+ 'reg', 'interrupt-parent' and 'interrupts' are all optional properties.
+
+ For example, the following block from system.mhs:
+
+ BEGIN opb_uartlite
+ PARAMETER INSTANCE = opb_uartlite_0
+ PARAMETER HW_VER = 1.00.b
+ PARAMETER C_BAUDRATE = 115200
+ PARAMETER C_DATA_BITS = 8
+ PARAMETER C_ODD_PARITY = 0
+ PARAMETER C_USE_PARITY = 0
+ PARAMETER C_CLK_FREQ = 50000000
+ PARAMETER C_BASEADDR = 0xEC100000
+ PARAMETER C_HIGHADDR = 0xEC10FFFF
+ BUS_INTERFACE SOPB = opb_7
+ PORT OPB_Clk = CLK_50MHz
+ PORT Interrupt = opb_uartlite_0_Interrupt
+ PORT RX = opb_uartlite_0_RX
+ PORT TX = opb_uartlite_0_TX
+ PORT OPB_Rst = sys_bus_reset_0
+ END
+
+ becomes the following device tree node:
+
+ opb_uartlite_0: serial@ec100000 {
+ device_type = "serial";
+ compatible = "xlnx,opb-uartlite-1.00.b";
+ reg = <ec100000 10000>;
+ interrupt-parent = <&opb_intc_0>;
+ interrupts = <1 0>; // got this from the opb_intc parameters
+ current-speed = <d#115200>; // standard serial device prop
+ clock-frequency = <d#50000000>; // standard serial device prop
+ xlnx,data-bits = <8>;
+ xlnx,odd-parity = <0>;
+ xlnx,use-parity = <0>;
+ };
+
+ Some IP cores actually implement 2 or more logical devices. In
+ this case, the device should still describe the whole IP core with
+ a single node and add a child node for each logical device. The
+ ranges property can be used to translate from parent IP-core to the
+ registers of each device. In addition, the parent node should be
+ compatible with the bus type 'xlnx,compound', and should contain
+ #address-cells and #size-cells, as with any other bus. (Note: this
+ makes the assumption that both logical devices have the same bus
+ binding. If this is not true, then separate nodes should be used
+ for each logical device). The 'cell-index' property can be used to
+ enumerate logical devices within an IP core. For example, the
+ following is the system.mhs entry for the dual ps2 controller found
+ on the ml403 reference design.
+
+ BEGIN opb_ps2_dual_ref
+ PARAMETER INSTANCE = opb_ps2_dual_ref_0
+ PARAMETER HW_VER = 1.00.a
+ PARAMETER C_BASEADDR = 0xA9000000
+ PARAMETER C_HIGHADDR = 0xA9001FFF
+ BUS_INTERFACE SOPB = opb_v20_0
+ PORT Sys_Intr1 = ps2_1_intr
+ PORT Sys_Intr2 = ps2_2_intr
+ PORT Clkin1 = ps2_clk_rx_1
+ PORT Clkin2 = ps2_clk_rx_2
+ PORT Clkpd1 = ps2_clk_tx_1
+ PORT Clkpd2 = ps2_clk_tx_2
+ PORT Rx1 = ps2_d_rx_1
+ PORT Rx2 = ps2_d_rx_2
+ PORT Txpd1 = ps2_d_tx_1
+ PORT Txpd2 = ps2_d_tx_2
+ END
+
+ It would result in the following device tree nodes:
+
+ opb_ps2_dual_ref_0: opb-ps2-dual-ref@a9000000 {
+ #address-cells = <1>;
+ #size-cells = <1>;
+ compatible = "xlnx,compound";
+ ranges = <0 a9000000 2000>;
+ // If this device had extra parameters, then they would
+ // go here.
+ ps2@0 {
+ compatible = "xlnx,opb-ps2-dual-ref-1.00.a";

+ interrupt-parent = <&opb_intc_0>;
+ interrupts = <3 0>;
+ cell-index = <0>;
+ };
+ };
+
+ Also, the system.mhs file defines bus attachments from the processor
+ to the devices. The device tree structure should reflect the bus
+ attachments. Again an example; this system.mhs fragment:

+ BUS_INTERFACE SPLB = plb_v34_0
+ BUS_INTERFACE MOPB = opb_v20_0
+ END
+
+ Gives this device tree (some properties removed for clarity):

+
+ opb_intc_0: interrupt-controller@d1000fc0 {
+ reg = <d1000fc0 20>;
+ };
+ };
+ };
+
+ That covers the general approach to binding xilinx IP cores into the
+ device tree. The following are bindings for specific devices:
+
+ i) Xilinx ML300 Framebuffer
+
+ Simple framebuffer device from the ML300 reference design (also on the
+ ML403 reference design as well as others).
+
+ Optional properties:
+ - resolution = <xres yres> : pixel resolution of framebuffer. Some
+ implementations use a different resolution.
+ Default is <d#640 d#480>
+ - virt-resolution = <xvirt yvirt> : Size of framebuffer in memory.
+ Default is <d#1024 d#480>.
+ - rotate-display (empty) : rotate display 180 degrees.
+
+ ii) Xilinx SystemACE
+
+ The Xilinx SystemACE device is used to program FPGAs from an FPGA
+ bitstream stored on a CF card. It can also be used as a generic CF
+ interface device.
+
+ Optional properties:
+ - 8-bit (empty) : Set this property for SystemACE in 8 bit mode
+
+ iii) Xilinx EMAC and Xilinx TEMAC
+
+ Xilinx Ethernet devices. In addition to general xilinx properties
+ listed above, nodes for these devices should include a phy-handle
+ property, and may include other common network device properties
+ like local-mac-address.
+
+ iv) Xilinx Uartlite
+
+ Xilinx uartlite devices are simple fixed speed serial ports.
+
+ Required properties:
+ - current-speed : Baud rate of uartlite
+
+ v) Xilinx hwicap
+
+ Xilinx hwicap devices provide access to the configuration logic
+ of the FPGA through the Internal Configuration Access Port
+ (ICAP). The ICAP enables partial reconfiguration of the FPGA,
+ readback of the configuration information, and some control over
+ 'warm boots' of the FPGA fabric.
+
+ Required properties:
+ - xlnx,family : The family of the FPGA, necessary since the
+ capabilities of the underlying ICAP hardware
+ differ between different families. May be
+ 'virtex2p', 'virtex4', or 'virtex5'.
+
+ vi) Xilinx Uart 16550
+
+ Xilinx UART 16550 devices are very similar to the NS16550 but with
+ different register spacing and an offset from the base address.
+
+ Required properties:
+ - clock-frequency : Frequency of the clock input
+ - reg-offset : A value of 3 is required

+
+Overview
+--------
+
+LinuxPPS provides a programming interface (API) to define in the
+system several PPS sources.
+
+PPS means "pulse per second" and a PPS source is just a device which
+provides a high precision signal each second so that an application
+can use it to adjust system clock time.
+
+A PPS source can be connected to a serial port (usually to the Data
+Carrier Detect pin) or to a parallel port (ACK-pin) or to a special
+CPU's GPIOs (this is the common case in embedded systems) but in each
+case when a new pulse arrives the system must apply to it a timestamp
+and record it for userland.
+
+Common use is the combination of the NTPD as userland program, with a
+GPS receiver as PPS source, to obtain a wallclock-time with
+sub-millisecond synchronisation to UTC.
+
+
+RFC considerations
+------------------
+
+While implementing a PPS API as RFC 2783 defines and using an embedded
+CPU GPIO-Pin as physical link to the signal, I encountered a deeper
+problem:
+
+ At startup it needs a file descriptor as argument for the function
+ time_pps_create().
+
+This implies that the source has a /dev/... entry. This assumption is
+ok for the serial and parallel port, where you can do something
+useful besides(!) the gathering of timestamps as it is the central
+task for a PPS-API. But this assumption does not work for a single
+purpose GPIO line. In this case even basic file-related functionality
+(like read() and write()) makes no sense at all and should not be a
+precondition for the use of a PPS-API.
+
+The problem can be simply solved if you consider that a PPS source is
+not always connected with a GPS data source.
+
+So your programs should check if the GPS data source (the serial port
+for instance) is a PPS source too, and if not they should provide the
+possibility to open another device as PPS source.
+
+In LinuxPPS the PPS sources are simply char devices usually mapped
+into files /dev/pps0, /dev/pps1, etc..
+
+
+Coding example
+--------------
+
+To register a PPS source into the kernel you should define a struct
+pps_source_info_s as follows:
+
+ static struct pps_source_info pps_ktimer_info = {
+ .name = "ktimer",
+ .path = "",
+ .mode = PPS_CAPTUREASSERT | PPS_OFFSETASSERT | \
+ PPS_ECHOASSERT | \
+ PPS_CANWAIT | PPS_TSFMT_TSPEC,
+ .echo = pps_ktimer_echo,
+ .owner = THIS_MODULE,
+ };
+
+and then calling the function pps_register_source() in your
+intialization routine as follows:
+
+ source = pps_register_source(&pps_ktimer_info,
+ PPS_CAPTUREASSERT | PPS_OFFSETASSERT);
+
+The pps_register_source() prototype is:
+
+ int pps_register_source(struct pps_source_info_s *info, int default_params)
+
+where "info" is a pointer to a structure that describes a particular
+PPS source, "default_params" tells the system what the initial default
+parameters for the device should be (it is obvious that these parameters
+must be a subset of ones defined in the struct
+pps_source_info_s which describe the capabilities of the driver).
+
+Once you have registered a new PPS source into the system you can
+signal an assert event (for example in the interrupt handler routine)
+just using:
+
+ pps_event(source, &ts, PPS_CAPTUREASSERT, ptr)
+
+where "ts" is the event's timestamp.
+
+The same function may also run the defined echo function
+(pps_ktimer_echo(), passing to it the "ptr" pointer) if the user
+asked for that... etc..
+
+Please see the file drivers/pps/clients/ktimer.c for example code.
+
+
+SYSFS support
+-------------
+
+If the SYSFS filesystem is enabled in the kernel it provides a new class:
+
+ $ ls /sys/class/pps/
+ pps0/ pps1/ pps2/
+
+Every directory is the ID of a PPS sources defined in the system and
+inside you find several files:
+
+ $ ls /sys/class/pps/pps0/
+ assert clear echo mode name path subsystem@ uevent
+
+Inside each "assert" and "clear" file you can find the timestamp and a
+sequence number:
+
+ $ cat /sys/class/pps/pps0/assert
+ 1170026870.983207967#8
+
+Where before the "#" is the timestamp in seconds; after it is the
+sequence number. Other files are:
+
+* echo: reports if the PPS source has an echo function or not;
+
+* mode: reports available PPS functioning modes;
+
+* name: reports the PPS source's name;
+
+* path: reports the PPS source's device path, that is the device the
+ PPS source is connected to (if it exists).
+
+
+Testing the PPS support
+-----------------------
+
+In order to test the PPS support even without specific hardware you can use
+the ktimer driver (see the client subsection in the PPS configuration menu)
+and the userland tools provided into Documentaion/pps/ directory.
+
+Once you have enabled the compilation of ktimer just modprobe it (if
+not statically compiled):
+
+ # modprobe ktimer
+
+and the run ppstest as follow:
+
+ $ ./ppstest /dev/pps0
+ trying PPS source "/dev/pps1"
+ found PPS source "/dev/pps1"
+ ok, found 1 source(s), now start fetching data...
+ source 0 - assert 1186592699.388832443, sequence: 364 - clear 0.000000000, sequence: 0
+ source 0 - assert 1186592700.388931295, sequence: 365 - clear 0.000000000, sequence: 0
+ source 0 - assert 1186592701.389032765, sequence: 366 - clear 0.000000000, sequence: 0

situations where transmitters need to be turned off, for example on
aircraft.
+The rfkill subsystem has a concept of "hard" and "soft" block, which
+differ little in their meaning (block == transmitters off) but rather in
+whether they can be changed or not:
+ - hard block: read-only radio block that cannot be overriden by software
+ - soft block: writable radio block (need not be readable) that is set by
+ the system software.
2. Implementation details
-The rfkill subsystem is composed of various components: the rfkill class, the
-rfkill-input module (an input layer handler), and some specific input layer
-events.
-
-The rfkill class is provided for kernel drivers to register their radio
-transmitter with the kernel, provide methods for turning it on and off and,
-optionally, letting the system know about hardware-disabled states that may
-be implemented on the device. This code is enabled with the CONFIG_RFKILL
-Kconfig option, which drivers can "select".
-
-The rfkill class code also notifies userspace of state changes, this is
-achieved via uevents. It also provides some sysfs files for userspace to
-check the status of radio transmitters. See the "Userspace support" section
-below.
+The rfkill subsystem is composed of three main components:
+ * the rfkill core,
+ * the deprecated rfkill-input module (an input layer handler, being
+ replaced by userspace policy code) and
+ * the rfkill drivers.
+The rfkill core provides API for kernel drivers to register their radio
+transmitter with the kernel, methods for turning it on and off and, letting
+the system know about hardware-disabled states that may be implemented on
+the device.
-The rfkill-input code implements a basic response to rfkill buttons -- it
-implements turning on/off all devices of a certain class (or all).
+The rfkill core code also notifies userspace of state changes, and provides
+ways for userspace to query the current states. See the "Userspace support"
+section below.
When the device is hard-blocked (either by a call to rfkill_set_hw_state()
-or from query_hw_block) set_block() will be invoked but drivers can well
-ignore the method call since they can use the return value of the function
-rfkill_set_hw_state() to sync the software state instead of keeping track
-of calls to set_block().
-
-
-The entire functionality is spread over more than one subsystem:
-
- * The kernel input layer generates KEY_WWAN, KEY_WLAN etc. and
- SW_RFKILL_ALL -- when the user presses a button. Drivers for radio
- transmitters generally do not register to the input layer, unless the
- device really provides an input device (i.e. a button that has no
- effect other than generating a button press event)
-
- * The rfkill-input code hooks up to these events and switches the soft-block
- of the various radio transmitters, depending on the button type.
-
- * The rfkill drivers turn off/on their transmitters as requested.
-
- * The rfkill class will generate userspace notifications (uevents) to tell
- userspace what the current state is.
+or from query_hw_block) set_block() will be invoked for additional software
+block, but drivers can ignore the method call since they can use the return
+value of the function rfkill_set_hw_state() to sync the software state
+instead of keeping track of calls to set_block(). In fact, drivers should
+use the return value of rfkill_set_hw_state() unless the hardware actually
+keeps track of soft and hard block separately.
+3. Kernel API
-3. Kernel driver guidelines
-
-Drivers for radio transmitters normally implement only the rfkill class.
-These drivers may not unblock the transmitter based on own decisions, they
-should act on information provided by the rfkill class only.
+Drivers for radio transmitters normally implement an rfkill driver.
Platform drivers might implement input devices if the rfkill button is just
that, a button. If that button influences the hardware then you need to

a way to turn on/off the transmitter(s).
-During suspend/hibernation, transmitters should only be left enabled when
-wake-on wlan or similar functionality requires it and the device wasn't
-blocked before suspend/hibernate. Note that it may be necessary to update
-the rfkill subsystem's idea of what the current state is at resume time if
-the state may have changed over suspend.
-
+For some platforms, it is possible that the hardware state changes during

+core with the current state is at resume time.

5. Userspace support
-The following sysfs entries exist for every rfkill device:
+The recommended userspace interface to use is /dev/rfkill, which is a misc
+character device that allows userspace to obtain and set the state of rfkill
+devices and sets of devices. It also notifies userspace about device addition
+and removal. The API is a simple read/write API that is defined in
+linux/rfkill.h, with one ioctl that allows turning off the deprecated input
+handler in the kernel for the transition period.
+
+Except for the one ioctl, communication with the kernel is done via read()
+and write() of instances of 'struct rfkill_event'. In this structure, the
+soft and hard block are properly separated (unlike sysfs, see below) and
+userspace is able to get a consistent snapshot of all rfkill devices in the
+system. Also, it is possible to switch all rfkill drivers (or all drivers of
+a specified type) into a state which also updates the default state for
+hotplugged devices.
+
+After an application opens /dev/rfkill, it can read the current state of
+all devices, and afterwards can poll the descriptor for hotplug or state
+change events.
+
+Applications must ignore operations (the "op" field) they do not handle,
+this allows the API to be extended in the future.
+
+Additionally, each rfkill device is registered in sysfs and there has the
+following attributes:
name: Name assigned by driver to this key (interface or driver name).
- type: Name of the key type ("wlan", "bluetooth", etc).

+Terminology used in this Document
+---------------------------------
+
+tail - where new writes happen in the ring buffer.
+
+head - where new reads happen in the ring buffer.
+
+producer - the task that writes into the ring buffer (same as writer)
+
+writer - same as producer
+
+consumer - the task that reads from the buffer (same as reader)
+
+reader - same as consumer.
+
+reader_page - A page outside the ring buffer used solely (for the most part)
+ by the reader.
+
+head_page - a pointer to the page that the reader will use next
+
+tail_page - a pointer to the page that will be written to next
+
+commit_page - a pointer to the page with the last finished non nested write.
+
+cmpxchg - hardware assisted atomic transaction that performs the following:
+
+ A = B iff previous A == C
+
+ R = cmpxchg(A, C, B) is saying that we replace A with B if and only if
+ current A is equal to C, and we put the old (current) A into R
+
+ R gets the previous A regardless if A is updated with B or not.
+
+ To see if the update was successful a compare of R == C may be used.
+
+The Generic Ring Buffer
+-----------------------
+
+The ring buffer can be used in either an overwrite mode or in
+producer/consumer mode.
+
+Producer/consumer mode is where the producer were to fill up the
+buffer before the consumer could free up anything, the producer
+will stop writing to the buffer. This will lose most recent events.
+
+Overwrite mode is where the produce were to fill up the buffer
+before the consumer could free up anything, the producer will
+overwrite the older data. This will lose the oldest events.
+
+No two writers can write at the same time (on the same per cpu buffer),
+but a writer may interrupt another writer, but it must finish writing
+before the previous writer may continue. This is very important to the
+algorithm. The writers act like a "stack". The way interrupts works
+enforces this behavior.
+
+
+ writer1 start
+ <preempted> writer2 start
+ <preempted> writer3 start
+ writer3 finishes
+ writer2 finishes
+ writer1 finishes
+
+This is very much like a writer being preempted by an interrupt and
+the interrupt doing a write as well.
+
+Readers can happen at any time. But no two readers may run at the
+same time, nor can a reader preempt/interrupt another reader. A reader
+can not preempt/interrupt a writer, but it may read/consume from the
+buffer at the same time as a writer is writing, but the reader must be
+on another processor to do so. A reader may read on its own processor
+and can be preempted by a writer.
+
+A writer can preempt a reader, but a reader can not preempt a writer.
+But a reader can read the buffer at the same time (on another processor)
+as a writer.
+
+The ring buffer is made up of a list of pages held together by a link list.
+
+At initialization a reader page is allocated for the reader that is not
+part of the ring buffer.
+
+The head_page, tail_page and commit_page are all initialized to point
+to the same page.
+
+The reader page is initialized to have its next pointer pointing to
+the head page, and its previous pointer pointing to a page before
+the head page.
+
+The reader has its own page to use. At start up time, this page is
+allocated but is not attached to the list. When the reader wants
+to read from the buffer, if its page is empty (like it is on start up)
+it will swap its page with the head_page. The old reader page will
+become part of the ring buffer and the head_page will be removed.
+The page after the inserted page (old reader_page) will become the
+new head page.
+
+Once the new page is given to the reader, the reader could do what
+it wants with it, as long as a writer has left that page.
+
+A sample of how the reader page is swapped: Note this does not
+show the head page in the buffer, it is for demonstrating a swap
+only.

+
+
+
+It is possible that the page swapped is the commit page and the tail page,
+if what is in the ring buffer is less than what is held in a buffer page.

+
+This case is still valid for this algorithm.
+When the writer leaves the page, it simply goes into the ring buffer
+since the reader page still points to the next location in the ring
+buffer.
+
+
+The main pointers:
+
+ reader page - The page used solely by the reader and is not part
+ of the ring buffer (may be swapped in)
+
+ head page - the next page in the ring buffer that will be swapped
+ with the reader page.
+
+ tail page - the page where the next write will take place.
+
+ commit page - the page that last finished a write.
+
+The commit page only is updated by the outer most writer in the
+writer stack. A writer that preempts another writer will not move the
+commit page.
+
+When data is written into the ring buffer, a position is reserved
+in the ring buffer and passed back to the writer. When the writer
+is finished writing data into that position, it commits the write.
+
+Another write (or a read) may take place at anytime during this
+transaction. If another write happens it must finish before continuing
+with the previous write.
+
+
+ Write reserve:
+
+ Buffer page
+ +---------+
+ |written |
+ +---------+ <--- given back to writer (current commit)
+ |reserved |
+ +---------+ <--- tail pointer
+ | empty |
+ +---------+
+
+ Write commit:
+
+ Buffer page
+ +---------+
+ |written |
+ +---------+
+ |written |
+ +---------+ <--- next positon for write (current commit)
+ | empty |
+ +---------+
+
+
+ If a write happens after the first reserve:
+
+ Buffer page
+ +---------+
+ |written |
+ +---------+ <-- current commit
+ |reserved |
+ +---------+ <--- given back to second writer
+ |reserved |
+ +---------+ <--- tail pointer
+
+ After second writer commits:
+
+
+ Buffer page
+ +---------+
+ |written |
+ +---------+ <--(last full commit)
+ |reserved |
+ +---------+
+ |pending |
+ |commit |
+ +---------+ <--- tail pointer
+
+ When the first writer commits:
+
+ Buffer page
+ +---------+
+ |written |
+ +---------+
+ |written |
+ +---------+
+ |written |
+ +---------+ <--(last full commit and tail pointer)
+
+
+The commit pointer points to the last write location that was
+committed without preempting another write. When a write that
+preempted another write is committed, it only becomes a pending commit
+and will not be a full commit till all writes have been committed.
+
+The commit page points to the page that has the last full commit.
+The tail page points to the page with the last write (before
+committing).
+
+The tail page is always equal to or after the commit page. It may
+be several pages ahead. If the tail page catches up to the commit
+page then no more writes may take place (regardless of the mode
+of the ring buffer: overwrite and produce/consumer).
+
+The order of pages are:
+
+ head page
+ commit page
+ tail page
+
+Possible scenario:
+ tail page
+ head page commit page |
+ | | |
+ v v v
+ +---+ +---+ +---+ +---+
+<---| |--->| |--->| |--->| |--->
+--->| |<---| |<---| |<---| |<---
+ +---+ +---+ +---+ +---+
+
+There is a special case that the head page is after either the commit page
+and possibly the tail page. That is when the commit (and tail) page has been
+swapped with the reader page. This is because the head page is always
+part of the ring buffer, but the reader page is not. When ever there
+has been less than a full page that has been committed inside the ring buffer,
+and a reader swaps out a page, it will be swapping out the commit page.
+
+
+ reader page commit page tail page
+ | | |
+ v | |
+ +---+ | |
+ | |<----------+ |
+ | |<------------------------+
+ | |------+
+ +---+ |
+ |
+ v
+ +---+ +---+ +---+ +---+
+<---| |--->| |--->| |--->| |--->
+--->| |<---| |<---| |<---| |<---
+ +---+ +---+ +---+ +---+
+ ^
+ |
+ head page
+
+
+In this case, the head page will not move when the tail and commit
+move back into the ring buffer.
+
+The reader can not swap a page into the ring buffer if the commit page
+is still on that page. If the read meets the last commit (real commit
+not pending or reserved), then there is nothing more to read.
+The buffer is considered empty until another full commit finishes.
+
+When the tail meets the head page, if the buffer is in overwrite mode,
+the head page will be pushed ahead one. If the buffer is in producer/consumer
+mode, the write will fail.
+
+Overwrite mode:
+
+ tail page
+ |
+ v
+ +---+ +---+ +---+ +---+
+<---| |--->| |--->| |--->| |--->
+--->| |<---| |<---| |<---| |<---
+ +---+ +---+ +---+ +---+
+ ^
+ |
+ head page
+
+
+ tail page
+ |

+ +---+ +---+ +---+ +---+
+<---| |--->| |--->| |--->| |--->

+<---| |--->| |--->| |--->| |--->
+--->| |<---| |<---| |<---| |<---
+ +---+ +---+ +---+ +---+
+ ^
+ |
+ head page
+
+Note, the reader page will still point to the previous head page.
+But when a swap takes place, it will use the most recent head page.
+
+
+Making the Ring Buffer Lockless:
+--------------------------------
+
+The main idea behind the lockless algorithm is to combine the moving
+of the head_page pointer with the swapping of pages with the reader.
+State flags are placed inside the pointer to the page. To do this,
+each page must be aligned in memory by 4 bytes. This will allow the 2
+least significant bits of the address to be used as flags. Since
+they will always be zero for the address. To get the address,
+simply mask out the flags.
+
+ MASK = ~3
+
+ address & MASK
+
+Two flags will be kept by these two bits:
+
+ HEADER - the page being pointed to is a head page
+
+ UPDATE - the page being pointed to is being updated by a writer
+ and was or is about to be a head page.
+
+
+ reader page
+ |
+ v
+ +---+
+ | |------+
+ +---+ |
+ |
+ v
+ +---+ +---+ +---+ +---+
+<---| |--->| |-H->| |--->| |--->
+--->| |<---| |<---| |<---| |<---
+ +---+ +---+ +---+ +---+
+
+
+The above pointer "-H->" would have the HEADER flag set. That is
+the next page is the next page to be swapped out by the reader.
+This pointer means the next page is the head page.
+
+When the tail page meets the head pointer, it will use cmpxchg to
+change the pointer to the UPDATE state:
+
+
+ tail page
+ |
+ v
+ +---+ +---+ +---+ +---+
+<---| |--->| |-H->| |--->| |--->
+--->| |<---| |<---| |<---| |<---
+ +---+ +---+ +---+ +---+
+
+ tail page
+ |
+ v
+ +---+ +---+ +---+ +---+
+<---| |--->| |-U->| |--->| |--->
+--->| |<---| |<---| |<---| |<---
+ +---+ +---+ +---+ +---+
+
+"-U->" represents a pointer in the UPDATE state.
+
+Any access to the reader will need to take some sort of lock to serialize
+the readers. But the writers will never take a lock to write to the
+ring buffer. This means we only need to worry about a single reader,
+and writes only preempt in "stack" formation.
+
+When the reader tries to swap the page with the ring buffer, it
+will also use cmpxchg. If the flag bit in the pointer to the
+head page does not have the HEADER flag set, the compare will fail
+and the reader will need to look for the new head page and try again.
+Note, the flag UPDATE and HEADER are never set at the same time.
+
+The reader swaps the reader page as follows:
+
+ +------+
+ |reader| RING BUFFER
+ |page |
+ +------+
+ +---+ +---+ +---+
+ | |--->| |--->| |
+ | |<---| |<---| |
+ +---+ +---+ +---+
+ ^ | ^ |
+ | +---------------+ |
+ +-----H-------------+
+
+The reader sets the reader page next pointer as HEADER to the page after
+the head page.
+
+
+ +------+
+ |reader| RING BUFFER
+ |page |-------H-----------+
+ +------+ v
+ | +---+ +---+ +---+
+ | | |--->| |--->| |
+ | | |<---| |<---| |<-+
+ | +---+ +---+ +---+ |
+ | ^ | ^ | |
+ | | +---------------+ | |
+ | +-----H-------------+ |
+ +--------------------------------------+
+
+It does a cmpxchg with the pointer to the previous head page to make it
+point to the reader page. Note that the new pointer does not have the HEADER
+flag set. This action atomically moves the head page forward.
+
+ +------+
+ |reader| RING BUFFER
+ |page |-------H-----------+
+ +------+ v
+ | ^ +---+ +---+ +---+
+ | | | |-->| |-->| |
+ | | | |<--| |<--| |<-+
+ | | +---+ +---+ +---+ |
+ | | | ^ | |
+ | | +-------------+ | |
+ | +-----------------------------+ |
+ +------------------------------------+
+
+After the new head page is set, the previous pointer of the head page is
+updated to the reader page.
+
+ +------+
+ |reader| RING BUFFER
+ |page |-------H-----------+
+ +------+ <---------------+ v
+ | ^ +---+ +---+ +---+
+ | | | |-->| |-->| |
+ | | | | | |<--| |<-+

+

+ |buffer| RING BUFFER
+ |page |-------H-----------+ <--- New head page
+ +------+ <---------------+ v
+ | ^ +---+ +---+ +---+
+ | | | | | |-->| |
+ | | New | | | |<--| |<-+
+ | | Reader +---+ +---+ +---+ |
+ | | page ----^ | |
+ | | | |
+ | +-----------------------------+ |
+ +------------------------------------+
+
+Another important point. The page that the reader page points back to
+by its previous pointer (the one that now points to the new head page)
+never points back to the reader page. That is because the reader page is
+not part of the ring buffer. Traversing the ring buffer via the next pointers
+will always stay in the ring buffer. Traversing the ring buffer via the
+prev pointers may not.
+
+Note, the way to determine a reader page is simply by examining the previous
+pointer of the page. If the next pointer of the previous page does not
+point back to the original page, then the original page is a reader page:
+
+
+ +--------+
+ | reader | next +----+
+ | page |-------->| |<====== (buffer page)
+ +--------+ +----+
+ | | ^
+ | v | next
+ prev | +----+
+ +------------->| |
+ +----+
+
+The way the head page moves forward:
+
+When the tail page meets the head page and the buffer is in overwrite mode
+and more writes take place, the head page must be moved forward before the
+writer may move the tail page. The way this is done is that the writer
+performs a cmpxchg to convert the pointer to the head page from the HEADER
+flag to have the UPDATE flag set. Once this is done, the reader will
+not be able to swap the head page from the buffer, nor will it be able to
+move the head page, until the writer is finished with the move.
+
+This eliminates any races that the reader can have on the writer. The reader
+must spin, and this is why the reader can not preempt the writer.
+
+ tail page
+ |
+ v
+ +---+ +---+ +---+ +---+
+<---| |--->| |-H->| |--->| |--->
+--->| |<---| |<---| |<---| |<---
+ +---+ +---+ +---+ +---+
+
+ tail page
+ |
+ v
+ +---+ +---+ +---+ +---+
+<---| |--->| |-U->| |--->| |--->
+--->| |<---| |<---| |<---| |<---
+ +---+ +---+ +---+ +---+
+
+The following page will be made into the new head page.
+
+ tail page
+ |
+ v
+ +---+ +---+ +---+ +---+
+<---| |--->| |-U->| |-H->| |--->
+--->| |<---| |<---| |<---| |<---
+ +---+ +---+ +---+ +---+
+
+After the new head page has been set, we can set the old head page
+pointer back to NORMAL.
+
+ tail page
+ |
+ v
+ +---+ +---+ +---+ +---+
+<---| |--->| |--->| |-H->| |--->
+--->| |<---| |<---| |<---| |<---
+ +---+ +---+ +---+ +---+
+
+After the head page has been moved, the tail page may now move forward.
+
+ tail page
+ |
+ v
+ +---+ +---+ +---+ +---+
+<---| |--->| |--->| |-H->| |--->
+--->| |<---| |<---| |<---| |<---
+ +---+ +---+ +---+ +---+
+
+
+The above are the trivial updates. Now for the more complex scenarios.
+
+
+As stated before, if enough writes preempt the first write, the
+tail page may make it all the way around the buffer and meet the commit
+page. At this time, we must start dropping writes (usually with some kind
+of warning to the user). But what happens if the commit was still on the
+reader page? The commit page is not part of the ring buffer. The tail page
+must account for this.
+
+
+ reader page commit page
+ | |
+ v |
+ +---+ |
+ | |<----------+
+ | |
+ | |------+
+ +---+ |
+ |
+ v
+ +---+ +---+ +---+ +---+
+<---| |--->| |-H->| |--->| |--->
+--->| |<---| |<---| |<---| |<---
+ +---+ +---+ +---+ +---+
+ ^
+ |
+ tail page
+
+If the tail page were to simply push the head page forward, the commit when
+leaving the reader page would not be pointing to the correct page.
+
+The solution to this is to test if the commit page is on the reader page
+before pushing the head page. If it is, then it can be assumed that the
+tail page wrapped the buffer, and we must drop new writes.
+
+This is not a race condition, because the commit page can only be moved
+by the outter most writer (the writer that was preempted).
+This means that the commit will not move while a writer is moving the
+tail page. The reader can not swap the reader page if it is also being
+used as the commit page. The reader can simply check that the commit
+is off the reader page. Once the commit page leaves the reader page
+it will never go back on it unless a reader does another swap with the
+buffer page that is also the commit page.
+
+
+Nested writes
+-------------
+
+In the pushing forward of the tail page we must first push forward
+the head page if the head page is the next page. If the head page
+is not the next page, the tail page is simply updated with a cmpxchg.
+
+Only writers move the tail page. This must be done atomically to protect
+against nested writers.
+
+ temp_page = tail_page
+ next_page = temp_page->next
+ cmpxchg(tail_page, temp_page, next_page)
+
+The above will update the tail page if it is still pointing to the expected
+page. If this fails, a nested write pushed it forward, the the current write
+does not need to push it.
+
+
+ temp page
+ |
+ v
+ tail page
+ |
+ v
+ +---+ +---+ +---+ +---+
+<---| |--->| |--->| |--->| |--->
+--->| |<---| |<---| |<---| |<---
+ +---+ +---+ +---+ +---+
+
+Nested write comes in and moves the tail page forward:
+
+ tail page (moved by nested writer)
+ temp page |
+ | |
+ v v
+ +---+ +---+ +---+ +---+
+<---| |--->| |--->| |--->| |--->
+--->| |<---| |<---| |<---| |<---
+ +---+ +---+ +---+ +---+
+
+The above would fail the cmpxchg, but since the tail page has already
+been moved forward, the writer will just try again to reserve storage
+on the new tail page.
+
+But the moving of the head page is a bit more complex.
+
+ tail page
+ |
+ v
+ +---+ +---+ +---+ +---+
+<---| |--->| |-H->| |--->| |--->
+--->| |<---| |<---| |<---| |<---
+ +---+ +---+ +---+ +---+
+
+The write converts the head page pointer to UPDATE.
+
+ tail page
+ |
+ v
+ +---+ +---+ +---+ +---+
+<---| |--->| |-U->| |--->| |--->
+--->| |<---| |<---| |<---| |<---
+ +---+ +---+ +---+ +---+
+
+But if a nested writer preempts here. It will see that the next
+page is a head page, but it is also nested. It will detect that
+it is nested and will save that information. The detection is the
+fact that it sees the UPDATE flag instead of a HEADER or NORMAL
+pointer.
+
+The nested writer will set the new head page pointer.
+
+ tail page
+ |
+ v
+ +---+ +---+ +---+ +---+
+<---| |--->| |-U->| |-H->| |--->
+--->| |<---| |<---| |<---| |<---
+ +---+ +---+ +---+ +---+
+
+But it will not reset the update back to normal. Only the writer
+that converted a pointer from HEAD to UPDATE will convert it back
+to NORMAL.
+
+ tail page
+ |
+ v
+ +---+ +---+ +---+ +---+
+<---| |--->| |-U->| |-H->| |--->
+--->| |<---| |<---| |<---| |<---
+ +---+ +---+ +---+ +---+
+
+After the nested writer finishes, the outer most writer will convert
+the UPDATE pointer to NORMAL.
+
+
+ tail page
+ |
+ v
+ +---+ +---+ +---+ +---+
+<---| |--->| |--->| |-H->| |--->
+--->| |<---| |<---| |<---| |<---
+ +---+ +---+ +---+ +---+
+
+
+It can be even more complex if several nested writes came in and moved
+the tail page ahead several pages:
+
+
+(first writer)
+
+ tail page
+ |
+ v
+ +---+ +---+ +---+ +---+
+<---| |--->| |-H->| |--->| |--->
+--->| |<---| |<---| |<---| |<---

+<---| |--->| |-U->| |--->| |--->

+
+The nested writer moves the tail page forward. But does not set the old

+<---| |--->| |-U->| |-H->| |--->

+ +---+ +---+ +---+ +---+
+
+Another writer preempts and sees the page after the tail page is a head page.
+It changes it from HEAD to UPDATE.
+

+Since the cmpxchg returns the old value of the pointer the first writer

+
+If tail page != A and tail page does not equal B, then it must reset the

+nested writers, it only needs to check this after setting the HEAD page.

+
+Now the writer can update the head page. This is also why the head page must
+remain in UPDATE and only reset by the outer most writer. This prevents
+the reader from seeing the incorrect head page.

To see which chip variants are supported you can look in the i2c driver code
for the i2c_device_id table. This lists all the possibilities.
+There are two more helper functions:
+
+v4l2_i2c_new_subdev_cfg: this function adds new irq and platform_data
+arguments and has both 'addr' and 'probed_addrs' arguments: if addr is not
+0 then that will be used (non-probing variant), otherwise the probed_addrs
+are probed.
+
+For example: this will probe for address 0x10:
+
+struct v4l2_subdev *sd = v4l2_i2c_new_subdev_cfg(v4l2_dev, adapter,
+ "module_foo", "chipid", 0, NULL, 0, I2C_ADDRS(0x10));
+
+v4l2_i2c_new_subdev_board uses an i2c_board_info struct which is passed
+to the i2c driver and replaces the irq, platform_data and addr arguments.
+
+If the subdev supports the s_config core ops, then that op is called with
+the irq and platform_data arguments after the subdev was setup. The older
+v4l2_i2c_new_(probed_)subdev functions will call s_config as well, but with

+Note that in the next kernel release the functions v4l2_i2c_new_subdev,
+v4l2_i2c_new_probed_subdev and v4l2_i2c_new_probed_subdev_addr will all be

+ HP iLO2 NMI Watchdog Driver
+ NMI sourcing for iLO2 based ProLiant Servers
+ Documentation and Driver by
+ Thomas Mingarelli <thomas.mingarelli@hp.com>
+
+ The HP iLO2 NMI Watchdog driver is a kernel module that provides basic
+ watchdog functionality and the added benefit of NMI sourcing. Both the
+ watchdog functionality and the NMI sourcing capability need to be enabled
+ by the user. Remember that the two modes are not dependant on one another.
+ A user can have the NMI sourcing without the watchdog timer and vice-versa.
+
+ Watchdog functionality is enabled like any other common watchdog driver. That
+ is, an application needs to be started that kicks off the watchdog timer. A
+ basic application exists in the Documentation/watchdog/src directory called
+ watchdog-test.c. Simply compile the C file and kick it off. If the system
+ gets into a bad state and hangs, the HP ProLiant iLO 2 timer register will
+ not be updated in a timely fashion and a hardware system reset (also known as
+ an Automatic Server Recovery (ASR)) event will occur.
+
+ The hpwdt driver also has four (4) module parameters. They are the following:
+
+ soft_margin - allows the user to set the watchdog timer value
+ allow_kdump - allows the user to save off a kernel dump image after an NMI
+ nowayout - basic watchdog parameter that does not allow the timer to
+ be restarted or an impending ASR to be escaped.
+ priority - determines whether or not the hpwdt driver is first on the
+ die_notify list to handle NMIs or last. The default value
+ for this module parameter is 0 or LAST. If the user wants to
+ enable NMI sourcing then reload the hpwdt driver with
+ priority=1 (and boot with nmi_watchdog=0).
+
+ NOTE: More information about watchdog drivers in general, including the ioctl
+ interface to /dev/watchdog can be found in
+ Documentation/watchdog/watchdog-api.txt and Documentation/IPMI.txt.
+
+ The priority parameter was introduced due to other kernel software that relied
+ on handling NMIs (like oprofile). Keeping hpwdt's priority at 0 (or LAST)
+ enables the users of NMIs for non critical events to be work as expected.
+
+ The NMI sourcing capability is disabled by default due to the inability to
+ distinguish between "NMI Watchdog Ticks" and "HW generated NMI events" in the
+ Linux kernel. What this means is that the hpwdt nmi handler code is called
+ each time the NMI signal fires off. This could amount to several thousands of
+ NMIs in a matter of seconds. If a user sees the Linux kernel's "dazed and
+ confused" message in the logs or if the system gets into a hung state, then
+ the hpwdt driver can be reloaded with the "priority" module parameter set
+ (priority=1).
+
+ 1. If the kernel has not been booted with nmi_watchdog turned off then
+ edit /boot/grub/menu.lst and place the nmi_watchdog=0 at the end of the
+ currently booting kernel line.
+ 2. reboot the sever
+ 3. Once the system comes up perform a rmmod hpwdt
+ 4. insmod /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers/char/watchdog/hpwdt.ko priority=1
+
+ Now, the hpwdt can successfully receive and source the NMI and provide a log
+ message that details the reason for the NMI (as determined by the HP BIOS).
+
+ Below is a list of NMIs the HP BIOS understands along with the associated
+ code (reason):
