+This binding is a work-in-progress, and are based on some experimental
+work by benh[1].
+
+Sources of clock signal can be represented by any node in the device
+tree. Those nodes are designated as clock providers. Clock consumer
+nodes use a phandle and clock specifier pair to connect clock provider
+outputs to clock inputs. Similar to the gpio specifiers, a clock
+specifier is an array of one more more cells identifying the clock
+output on a device. The length of a clock specifier is defined by the
+value of a #clock-cells property in the clock provider node.
+
+[1] http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/31551/
+
+==Clock providers==
+
+Required properties:
+#clock-cells: Number of cells in a clock specifier; Typically 0 for nodes
+ with a single clock output and 1 for nodes with multiple
+ clock outputs.
+
+Optional properties:
+clock-output-names: Recommended to be a list of strings of clock output signal
+ names indexed by the first cell in the clock specifier.
+ However, the meaning of clock-output-names is domain
+ specific to the clock provider, and is only provided to
+ encourage using the same meaning for the majority of clock
+ providers. This format may not work for clock providers
+ using a complex clock specifier format. In those cases it
+ is recommended to omit this property and create a binding
+ specific names property.
+
+ Clock consumer nodes must never directly reference
+ the provider's clock-output-names property.
+
+For example:
+
+ oscillator {
+ #clock-cells = <1>;
+ clock-output-names = "ckil", "ckih";
+ };
+
+- this node defines a device with two clock outputs, the first named
+ "ckil" and the second named "ckih". Consumer nodes always reference
+ clocks by index. The names should reflect the clock output signal
+ names for the device.
+
+==Clock consumers==
+
+Required properties:
+clocks: List of phandle and clock specifier pairs, one pair
+ for each clock input to the device. Note: if the
+ clock provider specifies '0' for #clock-cells, then
+ only the phandle portion of the pair will appear.
+
+Optional properties:
+clock-names: List of clock input name strings sorted in the same
+ order as the clocks property. Consumers drivers
+ will use clock-names to match clock input names
+ with clocks specifiers.
+clock-ranges: Empty property indicating that child nodes can inherit named
+ clocks from this node. Useful for bus nodes to provide a
+ clock to their children.
+
+For example:
+
+ device {
+ clocks = <&osc 1>, <&ref 0>;
+ clock-names = "baud", "register";
+ };
+
+
+This represents a device with two clock inputs, named "baud" and "register".
+The baud clock is connected to output 1 of the &osc device, and the register
+clock is connected to output 0 of the &ref.
+
+==Example==
+
+ /* external oscillator */
+ osc: oscillator {
+ compatible = "fixed-clock";
+ #clock-cells = <1>;
+ clock-frequency = <32678>;
+ clock-output-names = "osc";
+ };
+
+ /* phase-locked-loop device, generates a higher frequency clock
+ * from the external oscillator reference */
+ pll: pll@4c000 {
+ compatible = "vendor,some-pll-interface"
+ #clock-cells = <1>;
+ clocks = <&osc 0>;
+ clock-names = "ref";
+ reg = <0x4c000 0x1000>;
+ clock-output-names = "pll", "pll-switched";
+ };
+
+ /* UART, using the low frequency oscillator for the baud clock,
+ * and the high frequency switched PLL output for register
+ * clocking */
+ uart@a000 {
+ compatible = "fsl,imx-uart";
+ reg = <0xa000 0x1000>;
+ interrupts = <33>;
+ clocks = <&osc 0>, <&pll 1>;
+ clock-names = "baud", "register";
+ };
+
+This DT fragment defines three devices: an external oscillator to provide a
+low-frequency reference clock, a PLL device to generate a higher frequency
+clock signal, and a UART.
+
+* The oscillator is fixed-frequency, and provides one clock output, named "osc".
+* The PLL is both a clock provider and a clock consumer. It uses the clock
+ signal generated by the external oscillator, and provides two output signals
+ ("pll" and "pll-switched").
+* The UART has its baud clock connected the external oscillator and its
+ register clock connected to the PLL clock (the "pll-switched" signal)

+* Samsung SPI Controller
+
+The Samsung SPI controller is used to interface with various devices such as flash
+and display controllers using the SPI communication interface.
+
+Required SoC Specific Properties:
+
+- compatible: should be one of the following.
+ - samsung,s3c2443-spi: for s3c2443, s3c2416 and s3c2450 platforms
+ - samsung,s3c6410-spi: for s3c6410 platforms
+ - samsung,s5p6440-spi: for s5p6440 and s5p6450 platforms
+ - samsung,s5pv210-spi: for s5pv210 and s5pc110 platforms
+ - samsung,exynos4210-spi: for exynos4 and exynos5 platforms
+
+- reg: physical base address of the controller and length of memory mapped
+ region.
+
+- interrupts: The interrupt number to the cpu. The interrupt specifier format
+ depends on the interrupt controller.
+
+[PRELIMINARY: the dma channel allocation will change once there are
+official DMA bindings]
+
+- tx-dma-channel: The dma channel specifier for tx operations. The format of
+ the dma specifier depends on the dma controller.
+
+- rx-dma-channel: The dma channel specifier for rx operations. The format of
+ the dma specifier depends on the dma controller.
+
+Required Board Specific Properties:
+
+- #address-cells: should be 1.
+- #size-cells: should be 0.
+- gpios: The gpio specifier for clock, mosi and miso interface lines (in the
+ order specified). The format of the gpio specifier depends on the gpio
+ controller.
+
+Optional Board Specific Properties:
+
+- samsung,spi-src-clk: If the spi controller includes a internal clock mux to
+ select the clock source for the spi bus clock, this property can be used to
+ indicate the clock to be used for driving the spi bus clock. If not specified,
+ the clock number 0 is used as default.
+
+- num-cs: Specifies the number of chip select lines supported. If
+ not specified, the default number of chip select lines is set to 1.
+
+SPI Controller specific data in SPI slave nodes:
+
+- The spi slave nodes should provide the following information which is required
+ by the spi controller.
+
+ - cs-gpio: A gpio specifier that specifies the gpio line used as
+ the slave select line by the spi controller. The format of the gpio
+ specifier depends on the gpio controller.
+
+ - samsung,spi-feedback-delay: The sampling phase shift to be applied on the
+ miso line (to account for any lag in the miso line). The following are the
+ valid values.
+
+ - 0: No phase shift.
+ - 1: 90 degree phase shift sampling.
+ - 2: 180 degree phase shift sampling.
+ - 3: 270 degree phase shift sampling.
+
+Aliases:
+
+- All the SPI controller nodes should be represented in the aliases node using
+ the following format 'spi{n}' where n is a unique number for the alias.
+
+
+Example:
+
+- SoC Specific Portion:

+ UHID - User-space I/O driver support for HID subsystem
+ ========================================================
+
+The HID subsystem needs two kinds of drivers. In this document we call them:
+
+ 1. The "HID I/O Driver" is the driver that performs raw data I/O to the
+ low-level device. Internally, they register an hid_ll_driver structure with
+ the HID core. They perform device setup, read raw data from the device and
+ push it into the HID subsystem and they provide a callback so the HID
+ subsystem can send data to the device.
+
+ 2. The "HID Device Driver" is the driver that parses HID reports and reacts on
+ them. There are generic drivers like "generic-usb" and "generic-bluetooth"
+ which adhere to the HID specification and provide the standardizes features.
+ But there may be special drivers and quirks for each non-standard device out
+ there. Internally, they use the hid_driver structure.
+
+Historically, the USB stack was the first subsystem to provide an HID I/O
+Driver. However, other standards like Bluetooth have adopted the HID specs and
+may provide HID I/O Drivers, too. The UHID driver allows to implement HID I/O
+Drivers in user-space and feed the data into the kernel HID-subsystem.
+
+This allows user-space to operate on the same level as USB-HID, Bluetooth-HID
+and similar. It does not provide a way to write HID Device Drivers, though. Use
+hidraw for this purpose.
+
+There is an example user-space application in ./samples/uhid/uhid-example.c
+
+The UHID API
+------------
+
+UHID is accessed through a character misc-device. The minor-number is allocated
+dynamically so you need to rely on udev (or similar) to create the device node.
+This is /dev/uhid by default.
+
+If a new device is detected by your HID I/O Driver and you want to register this
+device with the HID subsystem, then you need to open /dev/uhid once for each
+device you want to register. All further communication is done by read()'ing or
+write()'ing "struct uhid_event" objects. Non-blocking operations are supported
+by setting O_NONBLOCK.
+
+struct uhid_event {
+ __u32 type;
+ union {
+ struct uhid_create_req create;
+ struct uhid_data_req data;
+ ...
+ } u;
+};
+
+The "type" field contains the ID of the event. Depending on the ID different
+payloads are sent. You must not split a single event across multiple read()'s or
+multiple write()'s. A single event must always be sent as a whole. Furthermore,
+only a single event can be sent per read() or write(). Pending data is ignored.
+If you want to handle multiple events in a single syscall, then use vectored
+I/O with readv()/writev().
+
+The first thing you should do is sending an UHID_CREATE event. This will
+register the device. UHID will respond with an UHID_START event. You can now
+start sending data to and reading data from UHID. However, unless UHID sends the
+UHID_OPEN event, the internally attached HID Device Driver has no user attached.
+That is, you might put your device asleep unless you receive the UHID_OPEN
+event. If you receive the UHID_OPEN event, you should start I/O. If the last
+user closes the HID device, you will receive an UHID_CLOSE event. This may be
+followed by an UHID_OPEN event again and so on. There is no need to perform
+reference-counting in user-space. That is, you will never receive multiple
+UHID_OPEN events without an UHID_CLOSE event. The HID subsystem performs
+ref-counting for you.
+You may decide to ignore UHID_OPEN/UHID_CLOSE, though. I/O is allowed even
+though the device may have no users.
+
+If you want to send data to the HID subsystem, you send an HID_INPUT event with
+your raw data payload. If the kernel wants to send data to the device, you will
+read an UHID_OUTPUT or UHID_OUTPUT_EV event.
+
+If your device disconnects, you should send an UHID_DESTROY event. This will
+unregister the device. You can now send UHID_CREATE again to register a new
+device.
+If you close() the fd, the device is automatically unregistered and destroyed
+internally.
+
+write()
+-------
+write() allows you to modify the state of the device and feed input data into
+the kernel. The following types are supported: UHID_CREATE, UHID_DESTROY and
+UHID_INPUT. The kernel will parse the event immediately and if the event ID is
+not supported, it will return -EOPNOTSUPP. If the payload is invalid, then
+-EINVAL is returned, otherwise, the amount of data that was read is returned and
+the request was handled successfully.
+
+ UHID_CREATE:
+ This creates the internal HID device. No I/O is possible until you send this
+ event to the kernel. The payload is of type struct uhid_create_req and
+ contains information about your device. You can start I/O now.
+
+ UHID_DESTROY:
+ This destroys the internal HID device. No further I/O will be accepted. There
+ may still be pending messages that you can receive with read() but no further
+ UHID_INPUT events can be sent to the kernel.
+ You can create a new device by sending UHID_CREATE again. There is no need to
+ reopen the character device.
+
+ UHID_INPUT:
+ You must send UHID_CREATE before sending input to the kernel! This event
+ contains a data-payload. This is the raw data that you read from your device.
+ The kernel will parse the HID reports and react on it.
+
+ UHID_FEATURE_ANSWER:
+ If you receive a UHID_FEATURE request you must answer with this request. You
+ must copy the "id" field from the request into the answer. Set the "err" field
+ to 0 if no error occured or to EIO if an I/O error occurred.
+ If "err" is 0 then you should fill the buffer of the answer with the results
+ of the feature request and set "size" correspondingly.
+
+read()
+------
+read() will return a queued ouput report. These output reports can be of type
+UHID_START, UHID_STOP, UHID_OPEN, UHID_CLOSE, UHID_OUTPUT or UHID_OUTPUT_EV. No
+reaction is required to any of them but you should handle them according to your
+needs. Only UHID_OUTPUT and UHID_OUTPUT_EV have payloads.
+
+ UHID_START:
+ This is sent when the HID device is started. Consider this as an answer to
+ UHID_CREATE. This is always the first event that is sent.
+
+ UHID_STOP:
+ This is sent when the HID device is stopped. Consider this as an answer to
+ UHID_DESTROY.
+ If the kernel HID device driver closes the device manually (that is, you
+ didn't send UHID_DESTROY) then you should consider this device closed and send
+ an UHID_DESTROY event. You may want to reregister your device, though. This is
+ always the last message that is sent to you unless you reopen the device with
+ UHID_CREATE.
+
+ UHID_OPEN:
+ This is sent when the HID device is opened. That is, the data that the HID
+ device provides is read by some other process. You may ignore this event but
+ it is useful for power-management. As long as you haven't received this event
+ there is actually no other process that reads your data so there is no need to
+ send UHID_INPUT events to the kernel.
+
+ UHID_CLOSE:
+ This is sent when there are no more processes which read the HID data. It is
+ the counterpart of UHID_OPEN and you may as well ignore this event.
+
+ UHID_OUTPUT:
+ This is sent if the HID device driver wants to send raw data to the I/O
+ device. You should read the payload and forward it to the device. The payload
+ is of type "struct uhid_data_req".
+ This may be received even though you haven't received UHID_OPEN, yet.
+
+ UHID_OUTPUT_EV:
+ Same as UHID_OUTPUT but this contains a "struct input_event" as payload. This
+ is called for force-feedback, LED or similar events which are received through
+ an input device by the HID subsystem. You should convert this into raw reports
+ and send them to your device similar to events of type UHID_OUTPUT.
+
+ UHID_FEATURE:
+ This event is sent if the kernel driver wants to perform a feature request as
+ described in the HID specs. The report-type and report-number are available in
+ the payload.
+ The kernel serializes feature requests so there will never be two in parallel.
+ However, if you fail to respond with a UHID_FEATURE_ANSWER in a time-span of 5
+ seconds, then the requests will be dropped and a new one might be sent.
+ Therefore, the payload also contains an "id" field that identifies every
+ request.

+
+Description
+-----------
+
+The DA9052/53 provides an Analogue to Digital Converter (ADC) with 10 bits
+resolution and track and hold circuitry combined with an analogue input
+multiplexer. The analogue input multiplexer will allow conversion of up to 10
+different inputs. The track and hold circuit ensures stable input voltages at
+the input of the ADC during the conversion.
+
+The ADC is used to measure the following inputs:
+Channel 0: VDDOUT - measurement of the system voltage
+Channel 1: ICH - internal battery charger current measurement
+Channel 2: TBAT - output from the battery NTC
+Channel 3: VBAT - measurement of the battery voltage
+Channel 4: ADC_IN4 - high impedance input (0 - 2.5V)
+Channel 5: ADC_IN5 - high impedance input (0 - 2.5V)
+Channel 6: ADC_IN6 - high impedance input (0 - 2.5V)
+Channel 7: XY - TSI interface to measure the X and Y voltage of the touch
+ screen resistive potentiometers
+Channel 8: Internal Tjunc. - sense (internal temp. sensor)
+Channel 9: VBBAT - measurement of the backup battery voltage
+
+By using sysfs attributes we can measure the system voltage VDDOUT, the battery
+charging current ICH, battery temperature TBAT, battery junction temperature
+TJUNC, battery voltage VBAT and the back up battery voltage VBBAT.
+
+Voltage Monitoring
+------------------
+
+Voltages are sampled by a 10 bit ADC.
+
+The battery voltage is calculated as:
+ Milli volt = ((ADC value * 1000) / 512) + 2500
+
+The backup battery voltage is calculated as:
+ Milli volt = (ADC value * 2500) / 512;
+
+The voltages on ADC channels 4, 5 and 6 are calculated as:
+ Milli volt = (ADC value * 2500) / 1023
+
+Temperature Monitoring
+----------------------
+
+Temperatures are sampled by a 10 bit ADC. Junction and battery temperatures
+are monitored by the ADC channels.
+
+The junction temperature is calculated:
+ Degrees celsius = 1.708 * (TJUNC_RES - T_OFFSET) - 108.8
+The junction temperature attribute is supported by the driver.
+
+The battery temperature is calculated:
+ Degree Celcius = 1 / (t1 + 1/298)- 273
+where t1 = (1/B)* ln(( ADCval * 2.5)/(R25*ITBAT*255))
+Default values of R25, B, ITBAT are 10e3, 3380 and 50e-6 respectively.

+ Remark about CAN FD (flexible data rate) support:
+
+ Generally the handling of CAN FD is very similar to the formerly described
+ examples. The new CAN FD capable CAN controllers support two different
+ bitrates for the arbitration phase and the payload phase of the CAN FD frame
+ and up to 64 bytes of payload. This extended payload length breaks all the
+ kernel interfaces (ABI) which heavily rely on the CAN frame with fixed eight
+ bytes of payload (struct can_frame) like the CAN_RAW socket. Therefore e.g.
+ the CAN_RAW socket supports a new socket option CAN_RAW_FD_FRAMES that
+ switches the socket into a mode that allows the handling of CAN FD frames
+ and (legacy) CAN frames simultaneously (see section 4.1.5).
+
+ The struct canfd_frame is defined in include/linux/can.h:
+
+ struct canfd_frame {
+ canid_t can_id; /* 32 bit CAN_ID + EFF/RTR/ERR flags */
+ __u8 len; /* frame payload length in byte (0 .. 64) */
+ __u8 flags; /* additional flags for CAN FD */
+ __u8 __res0; /* reserved / padding */
+ __u8 __res1; /* reserved / padding */
+ __u8 data[64] __attribute__((aligned(8)));
+ };
+
+ The struct canfd_frame and the existing struct can_frame have the can_id,
+ the payload length and the payload data at the same offset inside their
+ structures. This allows to handle the different structures very similar.
+ When the content of a struct can_frame is copied into a struct canfd_frame
+ all structure elements can be used as-is - only the data[] becomes extended.
+
+ When introducing the struct canfd_frame it turned out that the data length
+ code (DLC) of the struct can_frame was used as a length information as the
+ length and the DLC has a 1:1 mapping in the range of 0 .. 8. To preserve
+ the easy handling of the length information the canfd_frame.len element
+ contains a plain length value from 0 .. 64. So both canfd_frame.len and
+ can_frame.can_dlc are equal and contain a length information and no DLC.
+ For details about the distinction of CAN and CAN FD capable devices and
+ the mapping to the bus-relevant data length code (DLC), see chapter 6.6.
+
+ The length of the two CAN(FD) frame structures define the maximum transfer

+ CAN FD support in CAN_RAW sockets can be enabled with a new socket option
+ CAN_RAW_FD_FRAMES which is off by default. When the new socket option is
+ not supported by the CAN_RAW socket (e.g. on older kernels), switching the
+ CAN_RAW_FD_FRAMES option returns the error -ENOPROTOOPT.
+
+ Once CAN_RAW_FD_FRAMES is enabled the application can send both CAN frames
+ and CAN FD frames. OTOH the application has to handle CAN and CAN FD frames
+ when reading from the socket.
+
+ CAN_RAW_FD_FRAMES enabled: CAN_MTU and CANFD_MTU are allowed
+ CAN_RAW_FD_FRAMES disabled: only CAN_MTU is allowed (default)
+
+ Example:
+ [ remember: CANFD_MTU == sizeof(struct canfd_frame) ]
+
+ struct canfd_frame cfd;
+
+ nbytes = read(s, &cfd, CANFD_MTU);
+
+ if (nbytes == CANFD_MTU) {

+ When reading with size CANFD_MTU only returns CAN_MTU bytes that have
+ been received from the socket a legacy CAN frame has been read into the
+ provided CAN FD structure. Note that the canfd_frame.flags data field is
+ not specified in the struct can_frame and therefore it is only valid in
+ CANFD_MTU sized CAN FD frames.
+
+ As long as the payload length is <=8 the received CAN frames from CAN FD
+ capable CAN devices can be received and read by legacy sockets too. When
+ user-generated CAN FD frames have a payload length <=8 these can be send
+ by legacy CAN network interfaces too. Sending CAN FD frames with payload
+ length > 8 to a legacy CAN network interface returns an -EMSGSIZE error.
+
+ Implementation hint for new CAN applications:
+
+ To build a CAN FD aware application use struct canfd_frame as basic CAN
+ data structure for CAN_RAW based applications. When the application is
+ executed on an older Linux kernel and switching the CAN_RAW_FD_FRAMES
+ socket option returns an error: No problem. You'll get legacy CAN frames
+ or CAN FD frames and can process them the same way.
+
+ When sending to CAN devices make sure that the device is capable to handle
+ CAN FD frames by checking if the device maximum transfer unit is CANFD_MTU.
+ The CAN device MTU can be retrieved e.g. with a SIOCGIFMTU ioctl() syscall.

+Error management
+----------------
+
+Errors that occur synchronously with the execution of an NFC Core request are
+simply returned as the execution result of the request. These are easy.
+
+Errors that occur asynchronously (e.g. in a background protocol handling thread)
+must be reported such that upper layers don't stay ignorant that something
+went wrong below and know that expected events will probably never happen.
+Handling of these errors is done as follows:
+
+- driver (pn544) fails to deliver an incoming frame: it stores the error such
+that any subsequent call to the driver will result in this error. Then it calls
+the standard nfc_shdlc_recv_frame() with a NULL argument to report the problem
+above. shdlc stores a EREMOTEIO sticky status, which will trigger SMW to
+report above in turn.
+
+- SMW is basically a background thread to handle incoming and outgoing shdlc
+frames. This thread will also check the shdlc sticky status and report to HCI
+when it discovers it is not able to run anymore because of an unrecoverable
+error that happened within shdlc or below. If the problem occurs during shdlc
+connection, the error is reported through the connect completion.
+
+- HCI: if an internal HCI error happens (frame is lost), or HCI is reported an
+error from a lower layer, HCI will either complete the currently executing
+command with that error, or notify NFC Core directly if no command is executing.
+
+- NFC Core: when NFC Core is notified of an error from below and polling is
+active, it will send a tag discovered event with an empty tag list to the user
+space to let it know that the poll operation will never be able to detect a tag.
+If polling is not active and the error was sticky, lower levels will return it
+at next invocation.

+Fast page fault:
+
+Fast page fault is the fast path which fixes the guest page fault out of
+the mmu-lock on x86. Currently, the page fault can be fast only if the
+shadow page table is present and it is caused by write-protect, that means
+we just need change the W bit of the spte.
+
+What we use to avoid all the race is the SPTE_HOST_WRITEABLE bit and
+SPTE_MMU_WRITEABLE bit on the spte:
+- SPTE_HOST_WRITEABLE means the gfn is writable on host.
+- SPTE_MMU_WRITEABLE means the gfn is writable on mmu. The bit is set when
+ the gfn is writable on guest mmu and it is not write-protected by shadow
+ page write-protection.
+
+On fast page fault path, we will use cmpxchg to atomically set the spte W
+bit if spte.SPTE_HOST_WRITEABLE = 1 and spte.SPTE_WRITE_PROTECT = 1, this
+is safe because whenever changing these bits can be detected by cmpxchg.
+
+But we need carefully check these cases:
+1): The mapping from gfn to pfn
+The mapping from gfn to pfn may be changed since we can only ensure the pfn
+is not changed during cmpxchg. This is a ABA problem, for example, below case
+will happen:
+
+At the beginning:
+gpte = gfn1
+gfn1 is mapped to pfn1 on host
+spte is the shadow page table entry corresponding with gpte and
+spte = pfn1
+
+ VCPU 0 VCPU0
+on fast page fault path:
+
+ old_spte = *spte;
+ pfn1 is swapped out:
+ spte = 0;
+
+ pfn1 is re-alloced for gfn2.
+
+ gpte is changed to point to
+ gfn2 by the guest:
+ spte = pfn1;
+
+ if (cmpxchg(spte, old_spte, old_spte+W)
+ mark_page_dirty(vcpu->kvm, gfn1)
+ OOPS!!!
+
+We dirty-log for gfn1, that means gfn2 is lost in dirty-bitmap.
+
+For direct sp, we can easily avoid it since the spte of direct sp is fixed
+to gfn. For indirect sp, before we do cmpxchg, we call gfn_to_pfn_atomic()
+to pin gfn to pfn, because after gfn_to_pfn_atomic():
+- We have held the refcount of pfn that means the pfn can not be freed and
+ be reused for another gfn.
+- The pfn is writable that means it can not be shared between different gfns
+ by KSM.
+
+Then, we can ensure the dirty bitmaps is correctly set for a gfn.
+
+Currently, to simplify the whole things, we disable fast page fault for
+indirect shadow page.
+
+2): Dirty bit tracking
+In the origin code, the spte can be fast updated (non-atomically) if the
+spte is read-only and the Accessed bit has already been set since the
+Accessed bit and Dirty bit can not be lost.
+
+But it is not true after fast page fault since the spte can be marked
+writable between reading spte and updating spte. Like below case:
+
+At the beginning:
+spte.W = 0
+spte.Accessed = 1
+
+ VCPU 0 VCPU0
+In mmu_spte_clear_track_bits():
+
+ old_spte = *spte;
+
+ /* 'if' condition is satisfied. */
+ if (old_spte.Accssed == 1 &&
+ old_spte.W == 0)
+ spte = 0ull;
+ on fast page fault path:
+ spte.W = 1
+ memory write on the spte:
+ spte.Dirty = 1
+
+
+ else
+ old_spte = xchg(spte, 0ull)
+
+
+ if (old_spte.Accssed == 1)
+ kvm_set_pfn_accessed(spte.pfn);
+ if (old_spte.Dirty == 1)
+ kvm_set_pfn_dirty(spte.pfn);
+ OOPS!!!
+
+The Dirty bit is lost in this case.
+
+In order to avoid this kind of issue, we always treat the spte as "volatile"
+if it can be updated out of mmu-lock, see spte_has_volatile_bits(), it means,
+the spte is always atomicly updated in this case.
+
+3): flush tlbs due to spte updated
+If the spte is updated from writable to readonly, we should flush all TLBs,
+otherwise rmap_write_protect will find a read-only spte, even though the
+writable spte might be cached on a CPU's TLB.
+
+As mentioned before, the spte can be updated to writable out of mmu-lock on
+fast page fault path, in order to easily audit the path, we see if TLBs need
+be flushed caused by this reason in mmu_spte_update() since this is a common
+function to update spte (present -> present).
+
+Since the spte is "volatile" if it can be updated out of mmu-lock, we always
+atomicly update the spte, the race caused by fast page fault can be avoided,
+See the comments in spte_has_volatile_bits() and mmu_spte_update().
