This may allow the driver to support more hardware than
was included in the driver's static device ID support
table at compile time. The format for the device ID is:
- idVendor idProduct bInterfaceClass.
+ idVendor idProduct bInterfaceClass RefIdVendor RefIdProduct
The vendor ID and device ID fields are required, the
- interface class is optional.
+ rest is optional. The Ref* tuple can be used to tell the
+ driver to use the same driver_data for the new device as
+ it is used for the reference device.
Upon successfully adding an ID, the driver will probe
for the device and attempt to bind to it. For example:
# echo "8086 10f5" > /sys/bus/usb/drivers/foo/new_id
+ Here add a new device (0458:7045) using driver_data from

Reading from this file will list all dynamically added
device IDs in the same format, with one entry per

+Description: Switching efi runtime services to virtual mode requires
+ that all efi memory ranges which have the runtime attribute
+ bit set to be mapped to virtual addresses.
+
+ The efi runtime services can only be switched to virtual
+ mode once without rebooting. The kexec kernel must maintain
+ the same physical to virtual address mappings as the first
+ kernel. The mappings are exported to sysfs so userspace tools
+ can reassemble them and pass them into the kexec kernel.
+
+ /sys/firmware/efi/runtime-map/ is the directory the kernel
+ exports that information in.
+
+ subdirectories are named with the number of the memory range:
+
+ /sys/firmware/efi/runtime-map/0
+ /sys/firmware/efi/runtime-map/1
+ /sys/firmware/efi/runtime-map/2
+ /sys/firmware/efi/runtime-map/3
+ ...
+
+ Each subdirectory contains five files:
+
+ attribute : The attributes of the memory range.
+ num_pages : The size of the memory range in pages.
+ phys_addr : The physical address of the memory range.
+ type : The type of the memory range.
+ virt_addr : The virtual address of the memory range.
+
+ Above values are all hexadecimal numbers with the '0x' prefix.

+What: /sys/kernel/boot_params
+Date: December 2013
+Contact: Dave Young <dyoung@redhat.com>
+Description: The /sys/kernel/boot_params directory contains two
+ files: "data" and "version" and one subdirectory "setup_data".
+ It is used to export the kernel boot parameters of an x86
+ platform to userspace for kexec and debugging purpose.
+
+ If there's no setup_data in boot_params the subdirectory will
+ not be created.
+
+ "data" file is the binary representation of struct boot_params.
+
+ "version" file is the string representation of boot
+ protocol version.
+
+ "setup_data" subdirectory contains the setup_data data
+ structure in boot_params. setup_data is maintained in kernel
+ as a link list. In "setup_data" subdirectory there's one
+ subdirectory for each link list node named with the number
+ of the list nodes. The list node subdirectory contains two
+ files "type" and "data". "type" file is the string
+ representation of setup_data type. "data" file is the binary
+ representation of setup_data payload.
+
+ The whole boot_params directory structure is like below:
+ /sys/kernel/boot_params
+ |__ data
+ |__ setup_data
+ | |__ 0
+ | | |__ data
+ | | |__ type
+ | |__ 1
+ | |__ data

+Null block device driver
+================================================================================
+
+I. Overview
+
+The null block device (/dev/nullb*) is used for benchmarking the various
+block-layer implementations. It emulates a block device of X gigabytes in size.
+The following instances are possible:
+
+ Single-queue block-layer
+ - Request-based.
+ - Single submission queue per device.
+ - Implements IO scheduling algorithms (CFQ, Deadline, noop).
+ Multi-queue block-layer
+ - Request-based.
+ - Configurable submission queues per device.
+ No block-layer (Known as bio-based)
+ - Bio-based. IO requests are submitted directly to the device driver.
+ - Directly accepts bio data structure and returns them.
+
+All of them have a completion queue for each core in the system.
+
+II. Module parameters applicable for all instances:
+
+queue_mode=[0-2]: Default: 2-Multi-queue
+ Selects which block-layer the module should instantiate with.
+
+ 0: Bio-based.
+ 1: Single-queue.
+ 2: Multi-queue.
+
+home_node=[0--nr_nodes]: Default: NUMA_NO_NODE
+ Selects what CPU node the data structures are allocated from.
+
+gb=[Size in GB]: Default: 250GB
+ The size of the device reported to the system.
+
+bs=[Block size (in bytes)]: Default: 512 bytes
+ The block size reported to the system.
+
+nr_devices=[Number of devices]: Default: 2
+ Number of block devices instantiated. They are instantiated as /dev/nullb0,
+ etc.
+
+irq_mode=[0-2]: Default: 1-Soft-irq
+ The completion mode used for completing IOs to the block-layer.
+
+ 0: None.
+ 1: Soft-irq. Uses IPI to complete IOs across CPU nodes. Simulates the overhead
+ when IOs are issued from another CPU node than the home the device is
+ connected to.
+ 2: Timer: Waits a specific period (completion_nsec) for each IO before
+ completion.
+
+completion_nsec=[ns]: Default: 10.000ns
+ Combined with irq_mode=2 (timer). The time each completion event must wait.
+
+submit_queues=[0..nr_cpus]:
+ The number of submission queues attached to the device driver. If unset, it
+ defaults to 1 on single-queue and bio-based instances. For multi-queue,
+ it is ignored when use_per_node_hctx module parameter is 1.
+
+hw_queue_depth=[0..qdepth]: Default: 64
+ The hardware queue depth of the device.
+
+III: Multi-queue specific parameters
+
+use_per_node_hctx=[0/1]: Default: 0
+ 0: The number of submit queues are set to the value of the submit_queues
+ parameter.
+ 1: The multi-queue block layer is instantiated with a hardware dispatch
+ queue for each CPU node in the system.

-2.4 Notification API
---------------------
-
-There is mechanism which allows to get notifications about changing
-status of a cgroup.
-
-To register a new notification handler you need to:
- - create a file descriptor for event notification using eventfd(2);
- - open a control file to be monitored (e.g. memory.usage_in_bytes);
- - write "<event_fd> <control_fd> <args>" to cgroup.event_control.
- Interpretation of args is defined by control file implementation;
-
-eventfd will be woken up by control file implementation or when the
-cgroup is removed.
-
-To unregister a notification handler just close eventfd.
-
-NOTE: Support of notifications should be implemented for the control
-file. See documentation for the subsystem.

+Broadcom Capri Pin Controller
+
+This is a pin controller for the Broadcom BCM281xx SoC family, which includes
+BCM11130, BCM11140, BCM11351, BCM28145, and BCM28155 SoCs.
+
+=== Pin Controller Node ===
+
+Required Properties:
+
+- compatible: Must be "brcm,capri-pinctrl".
+- reg: Base address of the PAD Controller register block and the size
+ of the block.
+
+For example, the following is the bare minimum node:
+
+ pinctrl@35004800 {
+ compatible = "brcm,capri-pinctrl";
+ reg = <0x35004800 0x430>;
+ };
+
+As a pin controller device, in addition to the required properties, this node
+should also contain the pin configuration nodes that client devices reference,
+if any.
+
+=== Pin Configuration Node ===
+
+Each pin configuration node is a sub-node of the pin controller node and is a
+container of an arbitrary number of subnodes, called pin group nodes in this
+document.
+
+Please refer to the pinctrl-bindings.txt in this directory for details of the
+common pinctrl bindings used by client devices, including the definition of a
+"pin configuration node".
+
+=== Pin Group Node ===
+
+A pin group node specifies the desired pin mux and/or pin configuration for an
+arbitrary number of pins. The name of the pin group node is optional and not
+used.
+
+A pin group node only affects the properties specified in the node, and has no
+effect on any properties that are omitted.
+
+The pin group node accepts a subset of the generic pin config properties. For
+details generic pin config properties, please refer to pinctrl-bindings.txt
+and <include/linux/pinctrl/pinconfig-generic.h>.
+
+Each pin controlled by this pin controller belong to one of three types:
+Standard, I2C, and HDMI. Each type accepts a different set of pin config
+properties. A list of pins and their types is provided below.
+
+Required Properties (applicable to all pins):
+
+- pins: Multiple strings. Specifies the name(s) of one or more pins to
+ be configured by this node.
+
+Optional Properties (for standard pins):
+
+- function: String. Specifies the pin mux selection. Values
+ must be one of: "alt1", "alt2", "alt3", "alt4"
+- input-schmitt-enable: No arguments. Enable schmitt-trigger mode.
+- input-schmitt-disable: No arguments. Disable schmitt-trigger mode.
+- bias-pull-up: No arguments. Pull up on pin.
+- bias-pull-down: No arguments. Pull down on pin.
+- bias-disable: No arguments. Disable pin bias.
+- slew-rate: Integer. Meaning depends on configured pin mux:
+ *_SCL or *_SDA:
+ 0: Standard(100kbps)& Fast(400kbps) mode
+ 1: Highspeed (3.4Mbps) mode
+ IC_DM or IC_DP:
+ 0: normal slew rate
+ 1: fast slew rate
+ Otherwise:
+ 0: fast slew rate
+ 1: normal slew rate
+- input-enable: No arguements. Enable input (does not affect
+ output.)
+- input-disable: No arguements. Disable input (does not affect
+ output.)
+- drive-strength: Integer. Drive strength in mA. Valid values are
+ 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16 mA.
+
+Optional Properties (for I2C pins):
+
+- function: String. Specifies the pin mux selection. Values
+ must be one of: "alt1", "alt2", "alt3", "alt4"
+- bias-pull-up: Integer. Pull up strength in Ohm. There are 3
+ pull-up resisitors (1.2k, 1.8k, 2.7k) available
+ in parallel for I2C pins, so the valid values
+ are: 568, 720, 831, 1080, 1200, 1800, 2700 Ohm.
+- bias-disable: No arguments. Disable pin bias.
+- slew-rate: Integer. Meaning depends on configured pin mux:
+ *_SCL or *_SDA:
+ 0: Standard(100kbps)& Fast(400kbps) mode
+ 1: Highspeed (3.4Mbps) mode
+ IC_DM or IC_DP:
+ 0: normal slew rate
+ 1: fast slew rate
+ Otherwise:
+ 0: fast slew rate
+ 1: normal slew rate
+- input-enable: No arguements. Enable input (does not affect
+ output.)
+- input-disable: No arguements. Disable input (does not affect
+ output.)
+
+Optional Properties (for HDMI pins):
+
+- function: String. Specifies the pin mux selection. Values
+ must be one of: "alt1", "alt2", "alt3", "alt4"
+- slew-rate: Integer. Controls slew rate.
+ 0: Standard(100kbps)& Fast(400kbps) mode
+ 1: Highspeed (3.4Mbps) mode
+- input-enable: No arguements. Enable input (does not affect
+ output.)
+- input-disable: No arguements. Disable input (does not affect
+ output.)
+
+Example:
+// pin controller node
+pinctrl@35004800 {
+ compatible = "brcm,capri-pinctrl";
+ reg = <0x35004800 0x430>;
+
+ // pin configuration node
+ dev_a_default: dev_a_active {
+ //group node defining 1 standard pin
+ grp_1 {
+ pins = "std_pin1";
+ function = "alt1";
+ input-schmitt-enable;
+ bias-disable;
+ slew-rate = <1>;
+ drive-strength = <4>;
+ };
+
+ // group node defining 2 I2C pins
+ grp_2 {
+ pins = "i2c_pin1", "i2c_pin2";
+ function = "alt2";
+ bias-pull-up = <720>;
+ input-enable;
+ };
+
+ // group node defining 2 HDMI pins
+ grp_3 {
+ pins = "hdmi_pin1", "hdmi_pin2";
+ function = "alt3";
+ slew-rate = <1>;
+ };
+
+ // other pin group nodes
+ ...
+ };
+
+ // other pin configuration nodes
+ ...
+};
+
+In the example above, "dev_a_active" is a pin configuration node with a number
+of sub-nodes. In the pin group node "grp_1", one pin, "std_pin1", is defined in
+the "pins" property. Thus, the remaining properties in the "grp_1" node applies
+only to this pin, including the following settings:
+ - setting pinmux to "alt1"
+ - enabling schmitt-trigger (hystersis) mode
+ - disabling pin bias
+ - setting the slew-rate to 1
+ - setting the drive strength to 4 mA
+Note that neither "input-enable" nor "input-disable" was specified - the pinctrl
+subsystem will therefore leave this property unchanged from whatever state it
+was in before applying these changes.
+
+The "pins" property in the pin group node "grp_2" specifies two pins -
+"i2c_pin1" and "i2c_pin2"; the remaining properties in this pin group node,
+therefore, applies to both of these pins. The properties include:
+ - setting pinmux to "alt2"
+ - setting pull-up resistance to 720 Ohm (ie. enabling 1.2k and 1.8k resistors
+ in parallel)
+ - enabling both pins' input
+"slew-rate" is not specified in this pin group node, so the slew-rate for these
+pins are left as-is.
+
+Finally, "grp_3" defines two HDMI pins. The following properties are applied to
+both pins:
+ - setting pinmux to "alt3"
+ - setting slew-rate to 1; for HDMI pins, this corresponds to the 3.4 Mbps
+ Highspeed mode
+The input is neither enabled or disabled, and is left untouched.

+NVIDIA Tegra124 pinmux controller
+
+The Tegra124 pinctrl binding is very similar to the Tegra20 and Tegra30
+pinctrl binding, as described in nvidia,tegra20-pinmux.txt and
+nvidia,tegra30-pinmux.txt. In fact, this document assumes that binding as
+a baseline, and only documents the differences between the two bindings.
+
+Required properties:
+- compatible: "nvidia,tegra124-pinmux"
+- reg: Should contain a list of base address and size pairs for:
+ -- first entry - the drive strength and pad control registers.
+ -- second entry - the pinmux registers
+
+Tegra124 adds the following optional properties for pin configuration subnodes.
+The macros for options are defined in the
+ include/dt-binding/pinctrl/pinctrl-tegra.h.
+- nvidia,enable-input: Integer. Enable the pin's input path.
+ enable :TEGRA_PIN_ENABLE0 and
+ disable or output only: TEGRA_PIN_DISABLE.
+- nvidia,open-drain: Integer.
+ enable: TEGRA_PIN_ENABLE.
+ disable: TEGRA_PIN_DISABLE.
+- nvidia,lock: Integer. Lock the pin configuration against further changes
+ until reset.
+ enable: TEGRA_PIN_ENABLE.
+ disable: TEGRA_PIN_DISABLE.
+- nvidia,io-reset: Integer. Reset the IO path.
+ enable: TEGRA_PIN_ENABLE.
+ disable: TEGRA_PIN_DISABLE.
+- nvidia,rcv-sel: Integer. Select VIL/VIH receivers.
+ normal: TEGRA_PIN_DISABLE
+ high: TEGRA_PIN_ENABLE
+
+Please refer the Tegra TRM for complete details regarding which groups
+support which functionality.
+
+Valid values for pin and group names are:
+
+ per-pin mux groups:
+
+ These all support nvidia,function, nvidia,tristate, nvidia,pull,
+ nvidia,enable-input. Some support nvidia,lock nvidia,open-drain,

+- interrupt-controller: Marks the device node as an interrupt controller.
+- #interrupt-cells: Should be two.
+- gpio-controller: Marks the device node as a GPIO controller.
+- #gpio-cells : Should be two.
+ The first cell is the gpio pin number and the
+ second cell is used for optional parameters.
+
+Please refer to ../gpio/gpio.txt and ../interrupt-controller/interrupts.txt for
+a general description of GPIO and interrupt bindings.
+
+Please refer to pinctrl-bindings.txt in this directory for details of the
+common pinctrl bindings used by client devices, including the meaning of the
+phrase "pin configuration node".
+
+Qualcomm's pin configuration nodes act as a container for an abitrary number of
+subnodes. Each of these subnodes represents some desired configuration for a
+pin, a group, or a list of pins or groups. This configuration can include the
+mux function to select on those pin(s)/group(s), and various pin configuration
+parameters, such as pull-up, drive strength, etc.
+
+The name of each subnode is not important; all subnodes should be enumerated
+and processed purely based on their content.
+
+Each subnode only affects those parameters that are explicitly listed. In
+other words, a subnode that lists a mux function but no pin configuration
+parameters implies no information about any pin configuration parameters.
+Similarly, a pin subnode that describes a pullup parameter implies no
+information about e.g. the mux function.
+
+
+The following generic properties as defined in pinctrl-bindings.txt are valid
+to specify in a pin configuration subnode:
+ pins, function, bias-disable, bias-pull-down, bias-pull,up, drive-strength.
+
+Non-empty subnodes must specify the 'pins' property.
+Note that not all properties are valid for all pins.
+
+
+Valid values for qcom,pins are:
+ gpio0-gpio145
+ Supports mux, bias and drive-strength
+
+ sdc1_clk, sdc1_cmd, sdc1_data, sdc2_clk, sdc2_cmd, sdc2_data
+ Supports bias and drive-strength
+

+
+Device Driver Design Patterns
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+This document describes a few common design patterns found in device drivers.
+It is likely that subsystem maintainers will ask driver developers to
+conform to these design patterns.
+
+1. State Container
+2. container_of()
+
+
+1. State Container
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+While the kernel contains a few device drivers that assume that they will
+only be probed() once on a certain system (singletons), it is custom to assume
+that the device the driver binds to will appear in several instances. This
+means that the probe() function and all callbacks need to be reentrant.
+
+The most common way to achieve this is to use the state container design
+pattern. It usually has this form:
+
+struct foo {
+ spinlock_t lock; /* Example member */
+ (...)
+};
+
+static int foo_probe(...)
+{
+ struct foo *foo;
+
+ foo = devm_kzalloc(dev, sizeof(*foo), GFP_KERNEL);
+ if (!foo)
+ return -ENOMEM;
+ spin_lock_init(&foo->lock);
+ (...)
+}
+
+This will create an instance of struct foo in memory every time probe() is
+called. This is our state container for this instance of the device driver.
+Of course it is then necessary to always pass this instance of the
+state around to all functions that need access to the state and its members.
+
+For example, if the driver is registering an interrupt handler, you would
+pass around a pointer to struct foo like this:
+
+static irqreturn_t foo_handler(int irq, void *arg)
+{
+ struct foo *foo = arg;
+ (...)
+}
+
+static int foo_probe(...)
+{
+ struct foo *foo;
+
+ (...)
+ ret = request_irq(irq, foo_handler, 0, "foo", foo);
+}
+
+This way you always get a pointer back to the correct instance of foo in
+your interrupt handler.
+
+
+2. container_of()
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Continuing on the above example we add an offloaded work:
+
+struct foo {
+ spinlock_t lock;
+ struct workqueue_struct *wq;
+ struct work_struct offload;
+ (...)
+};
+
+static void foo_work(struct work_struct *work)
+{
+ struct foo *foo = container_of(work, struct foo, offload);
+
+ (...)
+}
+
+static irqreturn_t foo_handler(int irq, void *arg)
+{
+ struct foo *foo = arg;
+
+ queue_work(foo->wq, &foo->offload);
+ (...)
+}
+
+static int foo_probe(...)
+{
+ struct foo *foo;
+
+ foo->wq = create_singlethread_workqueue("foo-wq");
+ INIT_WORK(&foo->offload, foo_work);
+ (...)
+}
+
+The design pattern is the same for an hrtimer or something similar that will
+return a single argument which is a pointer to a struct member in the
+callback.
+
+container_of() is a macro defined in <linux/kernel.h>
+
+What container_of() does is to obtain a pointer to the containing struct from
+a pointer to a member by a simple subtraction using the offsetof() macro from
+standard C, which allows something similar to object oriented behaviours.
+Notice that the contained member must not be a pointer, but an actual member
+for this to work.
+
+We can see here that we avoid having global pointers to our struct foo *
+instance this way, while still keeping the number of parameters passed to the
+work function to a single pointer.

+dependency, but rather a control dependency that the CPU may short-circuit

- if (p) {
+ q = ACCESS_ONCE(a);
+ if (q) {
<read barrier>
- q = &b;

+However, stores are not speculated. This means that ordering -is- provided
+in the following example:
+
+ q = ACCESS_ONCE(a);
+ if (ACCESS_ONCE(q)) {
+ ACCESS_ONCE(b) = p;
+ }
+
+Please note that ACCESS_ONCE() is not optional! Without the ACCESS_ONCE(),

+
+ q = a;
+ if (q) {
+ b = p; /* BUG: Compiler can reorder!!! */
+ do_something();
+ } else {
+ b = p; /* BUG: Compiler can reorder!!! */
+ do_something_else();
+ }
+
+into this, which of course defeats the ordering:
+
+ b = p;
+ q = a;
+ if (q)
+ do_something();
+ else
+ do_something_else();
+
+Worse yet, if the compiler is able to prove (say) that the value of
+variable 'a' is always non-zero, it would be well within its rights
+to optimize the original example by eliminating the "if" statement
+as follows:
+
+ q = a;
+ b = p; /* BUG: Compiler can reorder!!! */
+ do_something();
+
+The solution is again ACCESS_ONCE(), which preserves the ordering between
+the load from variable 'a' and the store to variable 'b':
+
+ q = ACCESS_ONCE(a);
+ if (q) {
+ ACCESS_ONCE(b) = p;
+ do_something();
+ } else {
+ ACCESS_ONCE(b) = p;
+ do_something_else();
+ }
+
+You could also use barrier() to prevent the compiler from moving
+the stores to variable 'b', but barrier() would not prevent the
+compiler from proving to itself that a==1 always, so ACCESS_ONCE()
+is also needed.
+
+It is important to note that control dependencies absolutely require a
+a conditional. For example, the following "optimized" version of
+the above example breaks ordering:
+
+ q = ACCESS_ONCE(a);
+ ACCESS_ONCE(b) = p; /* BUG: No ordering vs. load from a!!! */
+ if (q) {
+ /* ACCESS_ONCE(b) = p; -- moved up, BUG!!! */
+ do_something();
+ } else {
+ /* ACCESS_ONCE(b) = p; -- moved up, BUG!!! */
+ do_something_else();
}
- x = *q;
+
+It is of course legal for the prior load to be part of the conditional,
+for example, as follows:
+
+ if (ACCESS_ONCE(a) > 0) {
+ ACCESS_ONCE(b) = q / 2;
+ do_something();
+ } else {
+ ACCESS_ONCE(b) = q / 3;
+ do_something_else();
+ }
+
+This will again ensure that the load from variable 'a' is ordered before the
+stores to variable 'b'.
+
+In addition, you need to be careful what you do with the local variable 'q',
+otherwise the compiler might be able to guess the value and again remove
+the needed conditional. For example:
+
+ q = ACCESS_ONCE(a);
+ if (q % MAX) {
+ ACCESS_ONCE(b) = p;
+ do_something();
+ } else {
+ ACCESS_ONCE(b) = p;
+ do_something_else();
+ }
+
+If MAX is defined to be 1, then the compiler knows that (q % MAX) is
+equal to zero, in which case the compiler is within its rights to
+transform the above code into the following:
+
+ q = ACCESS_ONCE(a);
+ ACCESS_ONCE(b) = p;
+ do_something_else();
+
+This transformation loses the ordering between the load from variable 'a'
+and the store to variable 'b'. If you are relying on this ordering, you
+should do something like the following:
+
+ q = ACCESS_ONCE(a);
+ BUILD_BUG_ON(MAX <= 1); /* Order load from a with store to b. */
+ if (q % MAX) {
+ ACCESS_ONCE(b) = p;
+ do_something();
+ } else {
+ ACCESS_ONCE(b) = p;
+ do_something_else();
+ }
+
+Finally, control dependencies do -not- provide transitivity. This is
+demonstrated by two related examples:
+
+ CPU 0 CPU 1
+ ===================== =====================
+ r1 = ACCESS_ONCE(x); r2 = ACCESS_ONCE(y);
+ if (r1 >= 0) if (r2 >= 0)
+ ACCESS_ONCE(y) = 1; ACCESS_ONCE(x) = 1;
+
+ assert(!(r1 == 1 && r2 == 1));
+
+The above two-CPU example will never trigger the assert(). However,
+if control dependencies guaranteed transitivity (which they do not),
+then adding the following two CPUs would guarantee a related assertion:
+
+ CPU 2 CPU 3
+ ===================== =====================
+ ACCESS_ONCE(x) = 2; ACCESS_ONCE(y) = 2;
+
+ assert(!(r1 == 2 && r2 == 2 && x == 1 && y == 1)); /* FAILS!!! */
+
+But because control dependencies do -not- provide transitivity, the
+above assertion can fail after the combined four-CPU example completes.
+If you need the four-CPU example to provide ordering, you will need
+smp_mb() between the loads and stores in the CPU 0 and CPU 1 code fragments.
+
+In summary:
+
+ (*) Control dependencies can order prior loads against later stores.
+ However, they do -not- guarantee any other sort of ordering:
+ Not prior loads against later loads, nor prior stores against
+ later anything. If you need these other forms of ordering,
+ use smb_rmb(), smp_wmb(), or, in the case of prior stores and
+ later loads, smp_mb().
+
+ (*) Control dependencies require at least one run-time conditional
+ between the prior load and the subsequent store. If the compiler
+ is able to optimize the conditional away, it will have also
+ optimized away the ordering. Careful use of ACCESS_ONCE() can
+ help to preserve the needed conditional.
+
+ (*) Control dependencies require that the compiler avoid reordering the

-This is a general barrier - lesser varieties of compiler barrier do not exist.
+This is a general barrier -- there are no read-read or write-write variants
+of barrier(). However, ACCESS_ONCE() can be thought of as a weak form
+for barrier() that affects only the specific accesses flagged by the
+ACCESS_ONCE().
+
+The barrier() function has the following effects:
+
+ (*) Prevents the compiler from reordering accesses following the
+ barrier() to precede any accesses preceding the barrier().
+ One example use for this property is to ease communication between
+ interrupt-handler code and the code that was interrupted.
+
+ (*) Within a loop, forces the compiler to load the variables used
+ in that loop's conditional on each pass through that loop.
+
+The ACCESS_ONCE() function can prevent any number of optimizations that,
+while perfectly safe in single-threaded code, can be fatal in concurrent
+code. Here are some examples of these sorts of optimizations:
+
+ (*) The compiler is within its rights to merge successive loads from
+ the same variable. Such merging can cause the compiler to "optimize"
+ the following code:
+
+ while (tmp = a)
+ do_something_with(tmp);
+
+ into the following code, which, although in some sense legitimate
+ for single-threaded code, is almost certainly not what the developer
+ intended:
+
+ if (tmp = a)
+ for (;;)
+ do_something_with(tmp);
+
+ Use ACCESS_ONCE() to prevent the compiler from doing this to you:
+
+ while (tmp = ACCESS_ONCE(a))
+ do_something_with(tmp);
+
+ (*) The compiler is within its rights to reload a variable, for example,
+ in cases where high register pressure prevents the compiler from
+ keeping all data of interest in registers. The compiler might
+ therefore optimize the variable 'tmp' out of our previous example:
+
+ while (tmp = a)
+ do_something_with(tmp);
+
+ This could result in the following code, which is perfectly safe in
+ single-threaded code, but can be fatal in concurrent code:
+
+ while (a)
+ do_something_with(a);
+
+ For example, the optimized version of this code could result in
+ passing a zero to do_something_with() in the case where the variable
+ a was modified by some other CPU between the "while" statement and
+ the call to do_something_with().
+
+ Again, use ACCESS_ONCE() to prevent the compiler from doing this:
+
+ while (tmp = ACCESS_ONCE(a))
+ do_something_with(tmp);
+
+ Note that if the compiler runs short of registers, it might save
+ tmp onto the stack. The overhead of this saving and later restoring
+ is why compilers reload variables. Doing so is perfectly safe for
+ single-threaded code, so you need to tell the compiler about cases
+ where it is not safe.
+
+ (*) The compiler is within its rights to omit a load entirely if it knows
+ what the value will be. For example, if the compiler can prove that
+ the value of variable 'a' is always zero, it can optimize this code:
+
+ while (tmp = a)
+ do_something_with(tmp);
-The compiler barrier has no direct effect on the CPU, which may then reorder
-things however it wishes.
+ Into this:
+
+ do { } while (0);
+
+ This transformation is a win for single-threaded code because it gets
+ rid of a load and a branch. The problem is that the compiler will
+ carry out its proof assuming that the current CPU is the only one
+ updating variable 'a'. If variable 'a' is shared, then the compiler's
+ proof will be erroneous. Use ACCESS_ONCE() to tell the compiler
+ that it doesn't know as much as it thinks it does:
+
+ while (tmp = ACCESS_ONCE(a))
+ do_something_with(tmp);
+
+ But please note that the compiler is also closely watching what you
+ do with the value after the ACCESS_ONCE(). For example, suppose you
+ do the following and MAX is a preprocessor macro with the value 1:
+
+ while ((tmp = ACCESS_ONCE(a)) % MAX)
+ do_something_with(tmp);
+
+ Then the compiler knows that the result of the "%" operator applied
+ to MAX will always be zero, again allowing the compiler to optimize
+ the code into near-nonexistence. (It will still load from the
+ variable 'a'.)
+
+ (*) Similarly, the compiler is within its rights to omit a store entirely
+ if it knows that the variable already has the value being stored.
+ Again, the compiler assumes that the current CPU is the only one
+ storing into the variable, which can cause the compiler to do the
+ wrong thing for shared variables. For example, suppose you have
+ the following:
+
+ a = 0;
+ /* Code that does not store to variable a. */
+ a = 0;
+
+ The compiler sees that the value of variable 'a' is already zero, so
+ it might well omit the second store. This would come as a fatal
+ surprise if some other CPU might have stored to variable 'a' in the
+ meantime.
+
+ Use ACCESS_ONCE() to prevent the compiler from making this sort of
+ wrong guess:
+
+ ACCESS_ONCE(a) = 0;
+ /* Code that does not store to variable a. */
+ ACCESS_ONCE(a) = 0;
+
+ (*) The compiler is within its rights to reorder memory accesses unless
+ you tell it not to. For example, consider the following interaction
+ between process-level code and an interrupt handler:
+
+ void process_level(void)
+ {
+ msg = get_message();
+ flag = true;
+ }
+
+ void interrupt_handler(void)
+ {
+ if (flag)
+ process_message(msg);
+ }
+
+ There is nothing to prevent the the compiler from transforming
+ process_level() to the following, in fact, this might well be a
+ win for single-threaded code:
+
+ void process_level(void)
+ {
+ flag = true;
+ msg = get_message();
+ }
+
+ If the interrupt occurs between these two statement, then
+ interrupt_handler() might be passed a garbled msg. Use ACCESS_ONCE()
+ to prevent this as follows:
+
+ void process_level(void)
+ {
+ ACCESS_ONCE(msg) = get_message();
+ ACCESS_ONCE(flag) = true;
+ }
+
+ void interrupt_handler(void)
+ {
+ if (ACCESS_ONCE(flag))
+ process_message(ACCESS_ONCE(msg));
+ }
+
+ Note that the ACCESS_ONCE() wrappers in interrupt_handler()
+ are needed if this interrupt handler can itself be interrupted
+ by something that also accesses 'flag' and 'msg', for example,
+ a nested interrupt or an NMI. Otherwise, ACCESS_ONCE() is not
+ needed in interrupt_handler() other than for documentation purposes.
+ (Note also that nested interrupts do not typically occur in modern
+ Linux kernels, in fact, if an interrupt handler returns with
+ interrupts enabled, you will get a WARN_ONCE() splat.)
+
+ You should assume that the compiler can move ACCESS_ONCE() past
+ code not containing ACCESS_ONCE(), barrier(), or similar primitives.
+
+ This effect could also be achieved using barrier(), but ACCESS_ONCE()
+ is more selective: With ACCESS_ONCE(), the compiler need only forget
+ the contents of the indicated memory locations, while with barrier()
+ the compiler must discard the value of all memory locations that
+ it has currented cached in any machine registers. Of course,
+ the compiler must also respect the order in which the ACCESS_ONCE()s
+ occur, though the CPU of course need not do so.
+
+ (*) The compiler is within its rights to invent stores to a variable,
+ as in the following example:
+
+ if (a)
+ b = a;
+ else
+ b = 42;
+
+ The compiler might save a branch by optimizing this as follows:
+
+ b = 42;
+ if (a)
+ b = a;
+
+ In single-threaded code, this is not only safe, but also saves
+ a branch. Unfortunately, in concurrent code, this optimization
+ could cause some other CPU to see a spurious value of 42 -- even
+ if variable 'a' was never zero -- when loading variable 'b'.
+ Use ACCESS_ONCE() to prevent this as follows:
+
+ if (a)
+ ACCESS_ONCE(b) = a;
+ else
+ ACCESS_ONCE(b) = 42;
+
+ The compiler can also invent loads. These are usually less
+ damaging, but they can result in cache-line bouncing and thus in
+ poor performance and scalability. Use ACCESS_ONCE() to prevent
+ invented loads.
+
+ (*) For aligned memory locations whose size allows them to be accessed
+ with a single memory-reference instruction, prevents "load tearing"
+ and "store tearing," in which a single large access is replaced by
+ multiple smaller accesses. For example, given an architecture having
+ 16-bit store instructions with 7-bit immediate fields, the compiler
+ might be tempted to use two 16-bit store-immediate instructions to
+ implement the following 32-bit store:
+
+ p = 0x00010002;
+
+ Please note that GCC really does use this sort of optimization,
+ which is not surprising given that it would likely take more
+ than two instructions to build the constant and then store it.
+ This optimization can therefore be a win in single-threaded code.
+ In fact, a recent bug (since fixed) caused GCC to incorrectly use
+ this optimization in a volatile store. In the absence of such bugs,
+ use of ACCESS_ONCE() prevents store tearing in the following example:
+
+ ACCESS_ONCE(p) = 0x00010002;
+
+ Use of packed structures can also result in load and store tearing,
+ as in this example:
+
+ struct __attribute__((__packed__)) foo {
+ short a;
+ int b;
+ short c;
+ };
+ struct foo foo1, foo2;
+ ...
+
+ foo2.a = foo1.a;
+ foo2.b = foo1.b;
+ foo2.c = foo1.c;
+
+ Because there are no ACCESS_ONCE() wrappers and no volatile markings,
+ the compiler would be well within its rights to implement these three
+ assignment statements as a pair of 32-bit loads followed by a pair
+ of 32-bit stores. This would result in load tearing on 'foo1.b'
+ and store tearing on 'foo2.b'. ACCESS_ONCE() again prevents tearing
+ in this example:
+
+ foo2.a = foo1.a;
+ ACCESS_ONCE(foo2.b) = ACCESS_ONCE(foo1.b);
+ foo2.c = foo1.c;
+
+All that aside, it is never necessary to use ACCESS_ONCE() on a variable
+that has been marked volatile. For example, because 'jiffies' is marked
+volatile, it is never necessary to say ACCESS_ONCE(jiffies). The reason
+for this is that ACCESS_ONCE() is implemented as a volatile cast, which
+has no effect when its argument is already marked volatile.
+
+Please note that these compiler barriers have no direct effect on the CPU,
+which may then reorder things however it wishes.

Consider the following: the system has a pair of spinlocks (M) and (Q), and
three CPUs; then should the following sequence of events occur:
CPU 1 CPU 2
=============================== ===============================
- *A = a; *E = e;

+ RELEASE M RELEASE Q
+ ACCESS_ONCE(*D) = d; ACCESS_ONCE(*H) = h;
Then there is no guarantee as to what order CPU 3 will see the accesses to *A
through *H occur in, other than the constraints imposed by the separate locks
on the separate CPUs. It might, for example, see:
- *E, LOCK M, LOCK Q, *G, *C, *F, *A, *B, UNLOCK Q, *D, *H, UNLOCK M
+ *E, ACQUIRE M, ACQUIRE Q, *G, *C, *F, *A, *B, RELEASE Q, *D, *H, RELEASE M
But it won't see any of:
- *B, *C or *D preceding LOCK M
- *A, *B or *C following UNLOCK M
- *F, *G or *H preceding LOCK Q
- *E, *F or *G following UNLOCK Q

+ KERNEL MODULE SIGNING FACILITY

+
+CONTENTS
+
+ - Overview.
+ - Configuring module signing.
+ - Generating signing keys.
+ - Public keys in the kernel.
+ - Manually signing modules.
+ - Signed modules and stripping.
+ - Loading signed modules.
+ - Non-valid signatures and unsigned modules.
+ - Administering/protecting the private key.
+
+
+========
+OVERVIEW
+========
+
+The kernel module signing facility cryptographically signs modules during
+installation and then checks the signature upon loading the module. This
+allows increased kernel security by disallowing the loading of unsigned modules
+or modules signed with an invalid key. Module signing increases security by
+making it harder to load a malicious module into the kernel. The module
+signature checking is done by the kernel so that it is not necessary to have
+trusted userspace bits.
+
+This facility uses X.509 ITU-T standard certificates to encode the public keys
+involved. The signatures are not themselves encoded in any industrial standard
+type. The facility currently only supports the RSA public key encryption
+standard (though it is pluggable and permits others to be used). The possible
+hash algorithms that can be used are SHA-1, SHA-224, SHA-256, SHA-384, and
+SHA-512 (the algorithm is selected by data in the signature).
+
+
+==========================
+CONFIGURING MODULE SIGNING
+==========================
+
+The module signing facility is enabled by going to the "Enable Loadable Module
+Support" section of the kernel configuration and turning on
+
+ CONFIG_MODULE_SIG "Module signature verification"
+
+This has a number of options available:
+
+ (1) "Require modules to be validly signed" (CONFIG_MODULE_SIG_FORCE)
+
+ This specifies how the kernel should deal with a module that has a
+ signature for which the key is not known or a module that is unsigned.
+
+ If this is off (ie. "permissive"), then modules for which the key is not
+ available and modules that are unsigned are permitted, but the kernel will
+ be marked as being tainted.
+
+ If this is on (ie. "restrictive"), only modules that have a valid
+ signature that can be verified by a public key in the kernel's possession
+ will be loaded. All other modules will generate an error.
+
+ Irrespective of the setting here, if the module has a signature block that
+ cannot be parsed, it will be rejected out of hand.
+
+
+ (2) "Automatically sign all modules" (CONFIG_MODULE_SIG_ALL)
+
+ If this is on then modules will be automatically signed during the
+ modules_install phase of a build. If this is off, then the modules must
+ be signed manually using:
+
+ scripts/sign-file
+
+
+ (3) "Which hash algorithm should modules be signed with?"
+
+ This presents a choice of which hash algorithm the installation phase will
+ sign the modules with:
+
+ CONFIG_SIG_SHA1 "Sign modules with SHA-1"
+ CONFIG_SIG_SHA224 "Sign modules with SHA-224"
+ CONFIG_SIG_SHA256 "Sign modules with SHA-256"
+ CONFIG_SIG_SHA384 "Sign modules with SHA-384"
+ CONFIG_SIG_SHA512 "Sign modules with SHA-512"
+
+ The algorithm selected here will also be built into the kernel (rather
+ than being a module) so that modules signed with that algorithm can have
+ their signatures checked without causing a dependency loop.
+
+
+=======================
+GENERATING SIGNING KEYS
+=======================
+
+Cryptographic keypairs are required to generate and check signatures. A
+private key is used to generate a signature and the corresponding public key is
+used to check it. The private key is only needed during the build, after which
+it can be deleted or stored securely. The public key gets built into the
+kernel so that it can be used to check the signatures as the modules are
+loaded.
+
+Under normal conditions, the kernel build will automatically generate a new
+keypair using openssl if one does not exist in the files:
+
+ signing_key.priv
+ signing_key.x509
+
+during the building of vmlinux (the public part of the key needs to be built
+into vmlinux) using parameters in the:
+
+ x509.genkey
+
+file (which is also generated if it does not already exist).
+
+It is strongly recommended that you provide your own x509.genkey file.
+
+Most notably, in the x509.genkey file, the req_distinguished_name section
+should be altered from the default:
+
+ [ req_distinguished_name ]
+ O = Magrathea
+ CN = Glacier signing key
+ emailAddress = slartibartfast@magrathea.h2g2
+
+The generated RSA key size can also be set with:
+
+ [ req ]
+ default_bits = 4096
+
+
+It is also possible to manually generate the key private/public files using the
+x509.genkey key generation configuration file in the root node of the Linux
+kernel sources tree and the openssl command. The following is an example to
+generate the public/private key files:
+
+ openssl req -new -nodes -utf8 -sha256 -days 36500 -batch -x509 \
+ -config x509.genkey -outform DER -out signing_key.x509 \
+ -keyout signing_key.priv
+
+
+=========================
+PUBLIC KEYS IN THE KERNEL
+=========================
+
+The kernel contains a ring of public keys that can be viewed by root. They're
+in a keyring called ".system_keyring" that can be seen by:
+
+ [root@deneb ~]# cat /proc/keys
+ ...
+ 223c7853 I------ 1 perm 1f030000 0 0 keyring .system_keyring: 1
+ 302d2d52 I------ 1 perm 1f010000 0 0 asymmetri Fedora kernel signing key: d69a84e6bce3d216b979e9505b3e3ef9a7118079: X509.RSA a7118079 []
+ ...
+
+Beyond the public key generated specifically for module signing, any file
+placed in the kernel source root directory or the kernel build root directory
+whose name is suffixed with ".x509" will be assumed to be an X.509 public key
+and will be added to the keyring.
+
+Further, the architecture code may take public keys from a hardware store and
+add those in also (e.g. from the UEFI key database).
+
+Finally, it is possible to add additional public keys by doing:
+
+ keyctl padd asymmetric "" [.system_keyring-ID] <[key-file]
+
+e.g.:
+
+ keyctl padd asymmetric "" 0x223c7853 <my_public_key.x509
+
+Note, however, that the kernel will only permit keys to be added to
+.system_keyring _if_ the new key's X.509 wrapper is validly signed by a key
+that is already resident in the .system_keyring at the time the key was added.
+
+
+=========================
+MANUALLY SIGNING MODULES
+=========================
+
+To manually sign a module, use the scripts/sign-file tool available in
+the Linux kernel source tree. The script requires 4 arguments:
+
+ 1. The hash algorithm (e.g., sha256)
+ 2. The private key filename
+ 3. The public key filename
+ 4. The kernel module to be signed
+
+The following is an example to sign a kernel module:
+
+ scripts/sign-file sha512 kernel-signkey.priv \
+ kernel-signkey.x509 module.ko
+
+The hash algorithm used does not have to match the one configured, but if it
+doesn't, you should make sure that hash algorithm is either built into the
+kernel or can be loaded without requiring itself.
+
+
+============================
+SIGNED MODULES AND STRIPPING
+============================
+
+A signed module has a digital signature simply appended at the end. The string
+"~Module signature appended~." at the end of the module's file confirms that a
+signature is present but it does not confirm that the signature is valid!
+
+Signed modules are BRITTLE as the signature is outside of the defined ELF
+container. Thus they MAY NOT be stripped once the signature is computed and
+attached. Note the entire module is the signed payload, including any and all
+debug information present at the time of signing.
+
+
+======================
+LOADING SIGNED MODULES
+======================
+
+Modules are loaded with insmod, modprobe, init_module() or finit_module(),
+exactly as for unsigned modules as no processing is done in userspace. The
+signature checking is all done within the kernel.
+
+
+=========================================
+NON-VALID SIGNATURES AND UNSIGNED MODULES
+=========================================
+
+If CONFIG_MODULE_SIG_FORCE is enabled or enforcemodulesig=1 is supplied on
+the kernel command line, the kernel will only load validly signed modules
+for which it has a public key. Otherwise, it will also load modules that are
+unsigned. Any module for which the kernel has a key, but which proves to have
+a signature mismatch will not be permitted to load.
+
+Any module that has an unparseable signature will be rejected.
+
+
+=========================================
+ADMINISTERING/PROTECTING THE PRIVATE KEY
+=========================================
+
+Since the private key is used to sign modules, viruses and malware could use
+the private key to sign modules and compromise the operating system. The
+private key must be either destroyed or moved to a secure location and not kept
+in the root node of the kernel source tree.

-
- Boot Command line options
- ------------------------------
- "aic7xxx=no_reset" - Eliminate the SCSI bus reset during startup.
- Some SCSI devices need the initial reset that this option disables
- in order to work. If you have problems at bootup, please make sure
- you aren't using this option.
-
- "aic7xxx=reverse_scan" - Certain PCI motherboards scan for devices at
- bootup by scanning from the highest numbered PCI device to the
- lowest numbered PCI device, others do just the opposite and scan
- from lowest to highest numbered PCI device. There is no reliable
- way to autodetect this ordering. So, we default to the most common
- order, which is lowest to highest. Then, in case your motherboard
- scans from highest to lowest, we have this option. If your BIOS
- finds the drives on controller A before controller B but the linux
- kernel finds your drives on controller B before A, then you should
- use this option.
-
- "aic7xxx=extended" - Force the driver to detect extended drive translation
- on your controller. This helps those people who have cards without
- a SEEPROM make sure that linux and all other operating systems think
- the same way about your hard drives.
-
- "aic7xxx=scbram" - Some cards have external SCB RAM that can be used to
- give the card more hardware SCB slots. This allows the driver to use
- that SCB RAM. Without this option, the driver won't touch the SCB
- RAM because it is known to cause problems on a few cards out there
- (such as 3985 class cards).
-
- "aic7xxx=irq_trigger:x" - Replace x with either 0 or 1 to force the kernel
- to use the correct IRQ type for your card. This only applies to EISA
- based controllers. On these controllers, 0 is for Edge triggered
- interrupts, and 1 is for Level triggered interrupts. If you aren't
- sure or don't know which IRQ trigger type your EISA card uses, then
- let the kernel autodetect the trigger type.
-
- "aic7xxx=verbose" - This option can be used in one of two ways. If you
- simply specify aic7xxx=verbose, then the kernel will automatically
- pick the default set of verbose messages for you to see.
- Alternatively, you can specify the command as
- "aic7xxx=verbose:0xXXXX" where the X entries are replaced with
- hexadecimal digits. This option is a bit field type option. For
- a full listing of the available options, search for the
- #define VERBOSE_xxxxxx lines in the aic7xxx.c file. If you want
- verbose messages, then it is recommended that you simply use the
- aic7xxx=verbose variant of this command.
-
- "aic7xxx=pci_parity:x" - This option controls whether or not the driver
- enables PCI parity error checking on the PCI bus. By default, this
- checking is disabled. To enable the checks, simply specify pci_parity
- with no value afterwords. To reverse the parity from even to odd,
- supply any number other than 0 or 255. In short:
- pci_parity - Even parity checking (even is the normal PCI parity)
- pci_parity:x - Where x > 0, Odd parity checking
- pci_parity:0 - No check (default)
- NOTE: In order to get Even PCI parity checking, you must use the
- version of the option that does not include the : and a number at
- the end (unless you want to enter exactly 2^32 - 1 as the number).
-
- "aic7xxx=no_probe" - This option will disable the probing for any VLB
- based 2842 controllers and any EISA based controllers. This is
- needed on certain newer motherboards where the normal EISA I/O ranges
- have been claimed by other PCI devices. Probing on those machines
- will often result in the machine crashing or spontaneously rebooting
- during startup. Examples of machines that need this are the
- Dell PowerEdge 6300 machines.
-
- "aic7xxx=seltime:2" - This option controls how long the card waits
- during a device selection sequence for the device to respond.
- The original SCSI spec says that this "should be" 256ms. This
- is generally not required with modern devices. However, some
- very old SCSI I devices need the full 256ms. Most modern devices
- can run fine with only 64ms. The default for this option is
- 64ms. If you need to change this option, then use the following
- table to set the proper value in the example above:
- 0 - 256ms
- 1 - 128ms
- 2 - 64ms
- 3 - 32ms
-
- "aic7xxx=panic_on_abort" - This option is for debugging and will cause
- the driver to panic the linux kernel and freeze the system the first
- time the drivers abort or reset routines are called. This is most
- helpful when some problem causes infinite reset loops that scroll too
- fast to see. By using this option, you can write down what the errors
- actually are and send that information to me so it can be fixed.
-
- "aic7xxx=dump_card" - This option will print out the *entire* set of
- configuration registers on the card during the init sequence. This
- is a debugging aid used to see exactly what state the card is in
- when we finally finish our initialization routines. If you don't
- have documentation on the chipsets, this will do you absolutely
- no good unless you are simply trying to write all the information
- down in order to send it to me.
-
- "aic7xxx=dump_sequencer" - This is the same as the above options except
- that instead of dumping the register contents on the card, this
- option dumps the contents of the sequencer program RAM. This gives
- the ability to verify that the instructions downloaded to the
- card's sequencer are indeed what they are supposed to be. Again,
- unless you have documentation to tell you how to interpret these
- numbers, then it is totally useless.
-
- "aic7xxx=override_term:0xffffffff" - This option is used to force the
- termination on your SCSI controllers to a particular setting. This
- is a bit mask variable that applies for up to 8 aic7xxx SCSI channels.
- Each channel gets 4 bits, divided as follows:
- bit 3 2 1 0
- | | | Enable/Disable Single Ended Low Byte Termination
- | | En/Disable Single Ended High Byte Termination
- | En/Disable Low Byte LVD Termination
- En/Disable High Byte LVD Termination
-
- The upper 2 bits that deal with LVD termination only apply to Ultra2
- controllers. Furthermore, due to the current Ultra2 controller
- designs, these bits are tied together such that setting either bit
- enables both low and high byte LVD termination. It is not possible
- to only set high or low byte LVD termination in this manner. This is
- an artifact of the BIOS definition on Ultra2 controllers. For other
- controllers, the only important bits are the two lowest bits. Setting
- the higher bits on non-Ultra2 controllers has no effect. A few
- examples of how to use this option:
-
- Enable low and high byte termination on a non-ultra2 controller that
- is the first aic7xxx controller (the correct bits are 0011),
- aic7xxx=override_term:0x3
-
- Enable all termination on the third aic7xxx controller, high byte
- termination on the second aic7xxx controller, and low and high byte
- SE termination on the first aic7xxx controller
- (bits are 1111 0010 0011),
- aic7xxx=override_term:0xf23
-
- No attempt has been made to make this option non-cryptic. It really
- shouldn't be used except in dire circumstances, and if that happens,
- I'm probably going to be telling you what to set this to anyway :)
-
- "aic7xxx=stpwlev:0xffffffff" - This option is used to control the STPWLEV
- bit in the DEVCONFIG PCI register. Currently, this is one of the
- very few registers that we have absolutely *no* way of detecting
- what the variable should be. It depends entirely on how the chipset
- and external terminators were coupled by the card/motherboard maker.
- Further, a chip reset (at power up) always sets this bit to 0. If
- there is no BIOS to run on the chipset/card (such as with a 2910C
- or a motherboard controller with the BIOS totally disabled) then
- the variable may not get set properly. Of course, if the proper
- setting was 0, then that's what it would be after the reset, but if
- the proper setting is actually 1.....you get the picture. Now, since
- we can't detect this at all, I've added this option to force the
- setting. If you have a BIOS on your controller then you should never
- need to use this option. However, if you are having lots of SCSI
- reset problems and can't seem to get them knocked out, this may help.
-
- Here's a test to know for certain if you need this option. Make
- a boot floppy that you can use to boot your computer up and that
- will detect the aic7xxx controller. Next, power down your computer.
- While it's down, unplug all SCSI cables from your Adaptec SCSI
- controller. Boot the system back up to the Adaptec EZ-SCSI BIOS
- and then make sure that termination is enabled on your adapter (if
- you have an Adaptec BIOS of course). Next, boot up the floppy you
- made and wait for it to detect the aic7xxx controller. If the kernel
- finds the controller fine, says scsi : x hosts and then tries to
- detect your devices like normal, up to the point where it fails to
- mount your root file system and panics, then you're fine. If, on
- the other hand, the system goes into an infinite reset loop, then
- you need to use this option and/or the previous option to force the
- proper termination settings on your controller. If this happens,
- then you next need to figure out what your settings should be.
-
- To find the correct settings, power your machine back down, connect
- back up the SCSI cables, and boot back into your machine like normal.
- However, boot with the aic7xxx=verbose:0x39 option. Record the
- initial DEVCONFIG values for each of your aic7xxx controllers as
- they are listed, and also record what the machine is detecting as
- the proper termination on your controllers. NOTE: the order in
- which the initial DEVCONFIG values are printed out is not guaranteed
- to be the same order as the SCSI controllers are registered. The
- above option and this option both work on the order of the SCSI
- controllers as they are registered, so make sure you match the right
- DEVCONFIG values with the right controllers if you have more than
- one aic7xxx controller.
-
- Once you have the detected termination settings and the initial
- DEVCONFIG values for each controller, then figure out what the
- termination on each of the controllers *should* be. Hopefully, that
- part is correct, but it could possibly be wrong if there is
- bogus cable detection logic on your controller or something similar.
- If all the controllers have the correct termination settings, then
- don't set the aic7xxx=override_term variable at all, leave it alone.
- Next, on any controllers that go into an infinite reset loop when
- you unplug all the SCSI cables, get the starting DEVCONFIG value.
- If the initial DEVCONFIG value is divisible by 2, then the correct
- setting for that controller is 0. If it's an odd number, then
- the correct setting for that controller is 1. For any other
- controllers that didn't have an infinite reset problem, then reverse
- the above options. If DEVCONFIG was even, then the correct setting
- is 1, if not then the correct setting is 0.
-
- Now that you know what the correct setting was for each controller,
- we need to encode that into the aic7xxx=stpwlev:0x... variable.
- This variable is a bit field encoded variable. Bit 0 is for the first
- aic7xxx controller, bit 1 for the next, etc. Put all these bits
- together and you get a number. For example, if the third aic7xxx
- needed a 1, but the second and first both needed a 0, then the bits
- would be 100 in binary. This then translates to 0x04. You would
- therefore set aic7xxx=stpwlev:0x04. This is fairly standard binary
- to hexadecimal conversions here. If you aren't up to speed on the
- binary->hex conversion then send an email to the aic7xxx mailing
- list and someone can help you out.
-
- "aic7xxx=tag_info:{{8,8..},{8,8..},..}" - This option is used to disable
- or enable Tagged Command Queueing (TCQ) on specific devices. As of
- driver version 5.1.11, TCQ is now either on or off by default
- according to the setting you choose during the make config process.
- In order to en/disable TCQ for certain devices at boot time, a user
- may use this boot param. The driver will then parse this message out
- and en/disable the specific device entries that are present based upon
- the value given. The param line is parsed in the following manner:
-
- { - first instance indicates the start of this parameter values
- second instance is the start of entries for a particular
- device entry
- } - end the entries for a particular host adapter, or end the entire
- set of parameter entries
- , - move to next entry. Inside of a set of device entries, this
- moves us to the next device on the list. Outside of device
- entries, this moves us to the next host adapter
- . - Same effect as , but is safe to use with insmod.
- x - the number to enter into the array at this position.
- 0 = Enable tagged queueing on this device and use the default
- queue depth
- 1-254 = Enable tagged queueing on this device and use this
- number as the queue depth
- 255 = Disable tagged queueing on this device.
- Note: anything above 32 for an actual queue depth is wasteful
- and not recommended.
-
- A few examples of how this can be used:
-
- tag_info:{{8,12,,0,,255,4}}
- This line will only effect the first aic7xxx card registered. It
- will set scsi id 0 to a queue depth of 8, id 1 to 12, leave id 2
- at the default, set id 3 to tagged queueing enabled and use the
- default queue depth, id 4 default, id 5 disabled, and id 6 to 4.
- Any not specified entries stay at the default value, repeated
- commas with no value specified will simply increment to the next id
- without changing anything for the missing values.
-
- tag_info:{,,,{,,,255}}
- First, second, and third adapters at default values. Fourth
- adapter, id 3 is disabled. Notice that leading commas simply
- increment what the first number effects, and there are no need
- for trailing commas. When you close out an adapter, or the
- entire entry, anything not explicitly set stays at the default
- value.
-
- A final note on this option. The scanner I used for this isn't
- perfect or highly robust. If you mess the line up, the worst that
- should happen is that the line will get ignored. If you don't
- close out the entire entry with the final bracket, then any other
- aic7xxx options after this will get ignored. So, in general, be
- sure of what you are entering, and after you have it right, just
- add it to the lilo.conf file so there won't be any mistakes. As
- a means of checking this parser, the entire tag_info array for
- each card is now printed out in the /proc/scsi/aic7xxx/x file. You
- can use that to verify that your options were parsed correctly.
-
- Boot command line options may be combined to form the proper set of options
- a user might need. For example, the following is valid:
-
- aic7xxx=verbose,extended,irq_trigger:1
-
- The only requirement is that individual options be separated by a comma or
- a period on the command line.
-
- Module Loading command options
- ------------------------------
- When loading the aic7xxx driver as a module, the exact same options are
- available to the user. However, the syntax to specify the options changes
- slightly. For insmod, you need to wrap the aic7xxx= argument in quotes
- and replace all ',' with '.'. So, for example, a valid insmod line
- would be:
-
- insmod aic7xxx aic7xxx='verbose.irq_trigger:1.extended'
-
- This line should result in the *exact* same behaviour as if you typed
- it in at the lilo prompt and the driver was compiled into the kernel
- instead of being a module. The reason for the single quote is so that
- the shell won't try to interpret anything in the line, such as {.
- Insmod assumes any options starting with a letter instead of a number
- is a character string (which is what we want) and by switching all of
- the commas to periods, insmod won't interpret this as more than one
- string and write junk into our binary image. I consider it a bug in
- the insmod program that even if you wrap your string in quotes (quotes
- that pass the shell mind you and that insmod sees) it still treats
- a comma inside of those quotes as starting a new variable, resulting
- in memory scribbles if you don't switch the commas to periods.
-
-
- Kernel Compile options
- ------------------------------
- The various kernel compile time options for this driver are now fairly
- well documented in the file drivers/scsi/Kconfig. In order to
- see this documentation, you need to use one of the advanced configuration
- programs (menuconfig and xconfig). If you are using the "make menuconfig"
- method of configuring your kernel, then you would simply highlight the
- option in question and hit the ? key. If you are using the "make xconfig"
- method of configuring your kernel, then simply click on the help button
- next to the option you have questions about. The help information from
- the Configure.help file will then get automatically displayed.
-
- /proc support
- ------------------------------
- The /proc support for the AIC7xxx can be found in the /proc/scsi/aic7xxx/
- directory. That directory contains a file for each SCSI controller in
- the system. Each file presents the current configuration and transfer
- statistics (enabled with #define in aic7xxx.c) for each controller.
-
- Thanks to Michael Neuffer for his upper-level SCSI help, and
- Matthew Jacob for statistics support.
-
- Debugging the driver
- ------------------------------
- Should you have problems with this driver, and would like some help in
- getting them solved, there are a couple debugging items built into
- the driver to facilitate getting the needed information from the system.
- In general, I need a complete description of the problem, with as many
- logs as possible concerning what happens. To help with this, there is
- a command option aic7xxx=panic_on_abort. This option, when set, forces
- the driver to panic the kernel on the first SCSI abort issued by the
- mid level SCSI code. If your system is going to reset loops and you
- can't read the screen, then this is what you need. Not only will it
- stop the system, but it also prints out a large amount of state
- information in the process. Second, if you specify the option
- "aic7xxx=verbose:0x1ffff", the system will print out *SOOOO* much
- information as it runs that you won't be able to see anything.
- However, this can actually be very useful if your machine simply
- locks up when trying to boot, since it will pin-point what was last
- happening (in regards to the aic7xxx driver) immediately prior to
- the lockup. This is really only useful if your machine simply can
- not boot up successfully. If you can get your machine to run, then
- this will produce far too much information.

+6. Event triggers
+=================
+
+Trace events can be made to conditionally invoke trigger 'commands'
+which can take various forms and are described in detail below;
+examples would be enabling or disabling other trace events or invoking
+a stack trace whenever the trace event is hit. Whenever a trace event
+with attached triggers is invoked, the set of trigger commands
+associated with that event is invoked. Any given trigger can
+additionally have an event filter of the same form as described in
+section 5 (Event filtering) associated with it - the command will only
+be invoked if the event being invoked passes the associated filter.
+If no filter is associated with the trigger, it always passes.
+
+Triggers are added to and removed from a particular event by writing
+trigger expressions to the 'trigger' file for the given event.
+
+A given event can have any number of triggers associated with it,
+subject to any restrictions that individual commands may have in that
+regard.
+
+Event triggers are implemented on top of "soft" mode, which means that
+whenever a trace event has one or more triggers associated with it,
+the event is activated even if it isn't actually enabled, but is
+disabled in a "soft" mode. That is, the tracepoint will be called,
+but just will not be traced, unless of course it's actually enabled.
+This scheme allows triggers to be invoked even for events that aren't
+enabled, and also allows the current event filter implementation to be
+used for conditionally invoking triggers.
+
+The syntax for event triggers is roughly based on the syntax for
+set_ftrace_filter 'ftrace filter commands' (see the 'Filter commands'
+section of Documentation/trace/ftrace.txt), but there are major
+differences and the implementation isn't currently tied to it in any
+way, so beware about making generalizations between the two.
+
+6.1 Expression syntax
+---------------------
+
+Triggers are added by echoing the command to the 'trigger' file:
+
+ # echo 'command[:count] [if filter]' > trigger
+
+Triggers are removed by echoing the same command but starting with '!'
+to the 'trigger' file:
+
+ # echo '!command[:count] [if filter]' > trigger
+
+The [if filter] part isn't used in matching commands when removing, so
+leaving that off in a '!' command will accomplish the same thing as
+having it in.
+
+The filter syntax is the same as that described in the 'Event
+filtering' section above.
+
+For ease of use, writing to the trigger file using '>' currently just
+adds or removes a single trigger and there's no explicit '>>' support
+('>' actually behaves like '>>') or truncation support to remove all
+triggers (you have to use '!' for each one added.)
+
+6.2 Supported trigger commands
+------------------------------
+
+The following commands are supported:
+
+- enable_event/disable_event
+
+ These commands can enable or disable another trace event whenever
+ the triggering event is hit. When these commands are registered,
+ the other trace event is activated, but disabled in a "soft" mode.
+ That is, the tracepoint will be called, but just will not be traced.
+ The event tracepoint stays in this mode as long as there's a trigger
+ in effect that can trigger it.
+
+ For example, the following trigger causes kmalloc events to be
+ traced when a read system call is entered, and the :1 at the end
+ specifies that this enablement happens only once:
+
+ # echo 'enable_event:kmem:kmalloc:1' > \
+ /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/syscalls/sys_enter_read/trigger
+
+ The following trigger causes kmalloc events to stop being traced
+ when a read system call exits. This disablement happens on every
+ read system call exit:
+
+ # echo 'disable_event:kmem:kmalloc' > \
+ /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/syscalls/sys_exit_read/trigger
+
+ The format is:
+
+ enable_event:<system>:<event>[:count]
+ disable_event:<system>:<event>[:count]
+
+ To remove the above commands:
+
+ # echo '!enable_event:kmem:kmalloc:1' > \
+ /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/syscalls/sys_enter_read/trigger
+
+ # echo '!disable_event:kmem:kmalloc' > \
+ /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/syscalls/sys_exit_read/trigger
+
+ Note that there can be any number of enable/disable_event triggers
+ per triggering event, but there can only be one trigger per
+ triggered event. e.g. sys_enter_read can have triggers enabling both
+ kmem:kmalloc and sched:sched_switch, but can't have two kmem:kmalloc
+ versions such as kmem:kmalloc and kmem:kmalloc:1 or 'kmem:kmalloc if
+ bytes_req == 256' and 'kmem:kmalloc if bytes_alloc == 256' (they
+ could be combined into a single filter on kmem:kmalloc though).
+
+- stacktrace
+
+ This command dumps a stacktrace in the trace buffer whenever the
+ triggering event occurs.
+
+ For example, the following trigger dumps a stacktrace every time the
+ kmalloc tracepoint is hit:
+
+ # echo 'stacktrace' > \
+ /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/kmem/kmalloc/trigger
+
+ The following trigger dumps a stacktrace the first 5 times a kmalloc
+ request happens with a size >= 64K
+
+ # echo 'stacktrace:5 if bytes_req >= 65536' > \
+ /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/kmem/kmalloc/trigger
+
+ The format is:
+
+ stacktrace[:count]
+
+ To remove the above commands:
+
+ # echo '!stacktrace' > \
+ /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/kmem/kmalloc/trigger
+
+ # echo '!stacktrace:5 if bytes_req >= 65536' > \
+ /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/kmem/kmalloc/trigger
+
+ The latter can also be removed more simply by the following (without
+ the filter):
+
+ # echo '!stacktrace:5' > \
+ /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/kmem/kmalloc/trigger
+
+ Note that there can be only one stacktrace trigger per triggering
+ event.
+
+- snapshot
+
+ This command causes a snapshot to be triggered whenever the
+ triggering event occurs.
+
+ The following command creates a snapshot every time a block request
+ queue is unplugged with a depth > 1. If you were tracing a set of
+ events or functions at the time, the snapshot trace buffer would
+ capture those events when the trigger event occured:
+
+ # echo 'snapshot if nr_rq > 1' > \
+ /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/block/block_unplug/trigger
+
+ To only snapshot once:
+
+ # echo 'snapshot:1 if nr_rq > 1' > \
+ /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/block/block_unplug/trigger
+
+ To remove the above commands:
+
+ # echo '!snapshot if nr_rq > 1' > \
+ /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/block/block_unplug/trigger
+
+ # echo '!snapshot:1 if nr_rq > 1' > \
+ /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/block/block_unplug/trigger
+
+ Note that there can be only one snapshot trigger per triggering
+ event.
+
+- traceon/traceoff
+
+ These commands turn tracing on and off when the specified events are
+ hit. The parameter determines how many times the tracing system is
+ turned on and off. If unspecified, there is no limit.
+
+ The following command turns tracing off the first time a block
+ request queue is unplugged with a depth > 1. If you were tracing a
+ set of events or functions at the time, you could then examine the
+ trace buffer to see the sequence of events that led up to the
+ trigger event:
+
+ # echo 'traceoff:1 if nr_rq > 1' > \
+ /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/block/block_unplug/trigger
+
+ To always disable tracing when nr_rq > 1 :
+
+ # echo 'traceoff if nr_rq > 1' > \
+ /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/block/block_unplug/trigger
+
+ To remove the above commands:
+
+ # echo '!traceoff:1 if nr_rq > 1' > \
+ /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/block/block_unplug/trigger
+
+ # echo '!traceoff if nr_rq > 1' > \
+ /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/block/block_unplug/trigger
+
+ Note that there can be only one traceon or traceoff trigger per
+ triggering event.
