What: /sys/bus/usb/devices/.../power/persist
Date: May 2007
KernelVersion: 2.6.23
Contact: Alan Stern <stern@rowland.harvard.edu>
Description:
If CONFIG_USB_PERSIST is set, then each USB device directory
will contain a file named power/persist. The file holds a
boolean value (0 or 1) indicating whether or not the
"USB-Persist" facility is enabled for the device. Since the
facility is inherently dangerous, it is disabled by default
for all devices except hubs. For more information, see
Documentation/usb/persist.txt.
What: /sys/bus/usb/devices/.../power/autosuspend
Date: March 2007
KernelVersion: 2.6.21
Contact: Alan Stern <stern@rowland.harvard.edu>
Description:
Each USB device directory will contain a file named
power/autosuspend. This file holds the time (in seconds)
the device must be idle before it will be autosuspended.
0 means the device will be autosuspended as soon as
possible. Negative values will prevent the device from
being autosuspended at all, and writing a negative value
will resume the device if it is already suspended.
The autosuspend delay for newly-created devices is set to
the value of the usbcore.autosuspend module parameter.
What: /sys/bus/usb/device/.../power/connected_duration
Date: January 2008
KernelVersion: 2.6.25
Contact: Sarah Sharp <sarah.a.sharp@intel.com>
Description:
If CONFIG_PM_RUNTIME is enabled then this file
is present. When read, it returns the total time (in msec)
that the USB device has been connected to the machine. This
file is read-only.

What: /sys/bus/usb/device/.../power/active_duration
Date: January 2008
KernelVersion: 2.6.25
Contact: Sarah Sharp <sarah.a.sharp@intel.com>
Description:
If CONFIG_PM_RUNTIME is enabled then this file
is present. When read, it returns the total time (in msec)
that the USB device has been active, i.e. not in a suspended
state. This file is read-only.
Tools can use this file and the connected_duration file to
compute the percentage of time that a device has been active.
For example,
echo $((100 * `cat active_duration` / `cat connected_duration`))
will give an integer percentage. Note that this does not
account for counter wrap.

Date: January 2008
KernelVersion: 2.6.27
Contact: Sarah Sharp <sarah.a.sharp@intel.com>
Description:
When read, this file returns 1 if the interface driver
for this interface supports autosuspend. It also
returns 1 if no driver has claimed this interface, as an
unclaimed interface will not stop the device from being
autosuspended if all other interface drivers are idle.
The file returns 0 if autosuspend support has not been
added to the driver.

active configuration (unconfigure the device). Writing
another value will change the active configuration.
Note that some devices, in violation of the USB spec, have a
configuration with a value equal to 0. Writing 0 to
bConfigurationValue for these devices will install that
configuration, rather then unconfigure the device.
Writing -1 will always unconfigure the device.

Description:
Binary file containing cached descriptors of the device. The
binary data consists of the device descriptor followed by the
descriptors for each configuration of the device.
Note that the wTotalLength of the config descriptors can not
be trusted, as the device may have a smaller config descriptor
than it advertises. The bLength field of each (sub) descriptor
can be trusted, and can be used to seek forward one (sub)
descriptor at a time until the next config descriptor is found.
All descriptors read from this file are in bus-endian format

Description:
The /sys/devices/.../online attribute is only present for
devices whose bus types provide .online() and .offline()
callbacks. The number read from it (0 or 1) reflects the value
of the device's 'offline' field. If that number is 1 and '0'
(or 'n', or 'N') is written to this file, the device bus type's
.offline() callback is executed for the device and (if
successful) its 'offline' field is updated accordingly. In
turn, if that number is 0 and '1' (or 'y', or 'Y') is written to
this file, the device bus type's .online() callback is executed
for the device and (if successful) its 'offline' field is
updated as appropriate.
After a successful execution of the bus type's .offline()
callback the device cannot be used for any purpose until either
it is removed (i.e. device_del() is called for it), or its bus
type's .online() is exeucted successfully.

<title>Render nodes</title>
<para>
DRM core provides multiple character-devices for user-space to use.
Depending on which device is opened, user-space can perform a different
set of operations (mainly ioctls). The primary node is always created
and called <term>card&lt;num&gt;</term>. Additionally, a currently
unused control node, called <term>controlD&lt;num&gt;</term> is also
created. The primary node provides all legacy operations and
historically was the only interface used by userspace. With KMS, the
control node was introduced. However, the planned KMS control interface
has never been written and so the control node stays unused to date.
</para>
<para>
With the increased use of offscreen renderers and GPGPU applications,
clients no longer require running compositors or graphics servers to
make use of a GPU. But the DRM API required unprivileged clients to
authenticate to a DRM-Master prior to getting GPU access. To avoid this
step and to grant clients GPU access without authenticating, render
nodes were introduced. Render nodes solely serve render clients, that
is, no modesetting or privileged ioctls can be issued on render nodes.
Only non-global rendering commands are allowed. If a driver supports
render nodes, it must advertise it via the <term>DRIVER_RENDER</term>
DRM driver capability. If not supported, the primary node must be used
for render clients together with the legacy drmAuth authentication
procedure.
</para>
<para>
If a driver advertises render node support, DRM core will create a
separate render node called <term>renderD&lt;num&gt;</term>. There will
be one render node per device. No ioctls except PRIME-related ioctls
will be allowed on this node. Especially <term>GEM_OPEN</term> will be
explicitly prohibited. Render nodes are designed to avoid the
buffer-leaks, which occur if clients guess the flink names or mmap
offsets on the legacy interface. Additionally to this basic interface,
drivers must mark their driver-dependent render-only ioctls as
<term>DRM_RENDER_ALLOW</term> so render clients can use them. Driver
authors must be careful not to allow any privileged ioctls on render
nodes.
</para>
<para>
With render nodes, user-space can now control access to the render node
via basic file-system access-modes. A running graphics server which
authenticates clients on the privileged primary/legacy node is no longer
required. Instead, a client can open the render node and is immediately
granted GPU access. Communication between clients (or servers) is done
via PRIME. FLINK from render node to legacy node is not supported. New
clients must not use the insecure FLINK interface.
</para>
<para>
Besides dropping all modeset/global ioctls, render nodes also drop the
DRM-Master concept. There is no reason to associate render clients with
a DRM-Master as they are independent of any graphics server. Besides,
they must work without any running master, anyway.
Drivers must be able to run without a master object if they support
render nodes. If, on the other hand, a driver requires shared state
between clients which is visible to user-space and accessible beyond
open-file boundaries, they cannot support render nodes.

<para>This is a multi-planar, two-plane version of the YUV 4:2:0 format.
The three components are separated into two sub-images or planes.
<constant>V4L2_PIX_FMT_NV16M</constant> differs from <constant>V4L2_PIX_FMT_NV16
</constant> in that the two planes are non-contiguous in memory, i.e. the chroma
plane does not necessarily immediately follows the luma plane.
The luminance data occupies the first plane. The Y plane has one byte per pixel.
In the second plane there is chrominance data with alternating chroma samples.
The CbCr plane is the same width and height, in bytes, as the Y plane.
Each CbCr pair belongs to four pixels. For example,
Cb<subscript>0</subscript>/Cr<subscript>0</subscript> belongs to
Y'<subscript>00</subscript>, Y'<subscript>01</subscript>,
Y'<subscript>10</subscript>, Y'<subscript>11</subscript>.
<constant>V4L2_PIX_FMT_NV61M</constant> is the same as <constant>V4L2_PIX_FMT_NV16M</constant>

<note>
<title>Experimental</title>
<para>This is an <link
linkend="experimental">experimental</link> interface and may change in
the future.</para>
</note>
<para>For driver debugging purposes this ioctl allows test
applications to query the driver about the chips present on the TV
card. Regular applications must not use it. When you found a chip
specific bug, please contact the linux-media mailing list (&v4l-ml;)
so it can be fixed.</para>
<para>To query the driver applications must initialize the
<structfield>match.type</structfield> and
<structfield>match.addr</structfield> or <structfield>match.name</structfield>
fields of a &v4l2-dbg-chip-ident;
and call <constant>VIDIOC_DBG_G_CHIP_IDENT</constant> with a pointer to
this structure. On success the driver stores information about the
selected chip in the <structfield>ident</structfield> and
<structfield>revision</structfield> fields. On failure the structure
remains unchanged.</para>
<para>When <structfield>match.type</structfield> is
<constant>V4L2_CHIP_MATCH_HOST</constant>,
<structfield>match.addr</structfield> selects the nth non-&i2c; chip
on the TV card. You can enumerate all chips by starting at zero and
incrementing <structfield>match.addr</structfield> by one until
<constant>VIDIOC_DBG_G_CHIP_IDENT</constant> fails with an &EINVAL;.
The number zero always selects the host chip, &eg; the chip connected
to the PCI or USB bus.</para>
<para>When <structfield>match.type</structfield> is
<constant>V4L2_CHIP_MATCH_I2C_DRIVER</constant>,
<structfield>match.name</structfield> contains the I2C driver name.
For instance
<constant>"saa7127"</constant> will match any chip
supported by the saa7127 driver, regardless of its &i2c; bus address.
When multiple chips supported by the same driver are present, the
ioctl will return <constant>V4L2_IDENT_AMBIGUOUS</constant> in the
<structfield>ident</structfield> field.</para>
<para>When <structfield>match.type</structfield> is
<constant>V4L2_CHIP_MATCH_I2C_ADDR</constant>,
<structfield>match.addr</structfield> selects a chip by its 7 bit
&i2c; bus address.</para>
<para>When <structfield>match.type</structfield> is
<constant>V4L2_CHIP_MATCH_AC97</constant>,
<structfield>match.addr</structfield> selects the nth AC97 chip
on the TV card. You can enumerate all chips by starting at zero and
incrementing <structfield>match.addr</structfield> by one until
<constant>VIDIOC_DBG_G_CHIP_IDENT</constant> fails with an &EINVAL;.</para>
<para>On success, the <structfield>ident</structfield> field will
contain a chip ID from the Linux
<filename>media/v4l2-chip-ident.h</filename> header file, and the
<structfield>revision</structfield> field will contain a driver
specific value, or zero if no particular revision is associated with
this chip.</para>
<para>When the driver could not identify the selected chip,
<structfield>ident</structfield> will contain
<constant>V4L2_IDENT_UNKNOWN</constant>. When no chip matched
the ioctl will succeed but the
<structfield>ident</structfield> field will contain
<constant>V4L2_IDENT_NONE</constant>. If multiple chips matched,
<structfield>ident</structfield> will contain
<constant>V4L2_IDENT_AMBIGUOUS</constant>. In all these cases the
<structfield>revision</structfield> field remains unchanged.</para>
<para>This ioctl is optional, not all drivers may support it. It
was introduced in Linux 2.6.21, but the API was changed to the
one described here in 2.6.29.</para>
<para>We recommended the <application>v4l2-dbg</application>
utility over calling this ioctl directly. It is available from the
LinuxTV v4l-dvb repository; see <ulink
url="http://linuxtv.org/repo/">http://linuxtv.org/repo/</ulink> for
access instructions.</para>

a grace period to elapse, rcu_barrier() waits for all outstanding RCU
callbacks to complete. Please note that rcu_barrier() does -not- imply
synchronize_rcu(), in particular, if there are no RCU callbacks queued
anywhere, rcu_barrier() is within its rights to return immediately,
without waiting for a grace period to elapse.
Pseudo-code using rcu_barrier() is as follows:
1. Prevent any new RCU callbacks from being posted.
2. Execute rcu_barrier().

rcu_bh: qlen: 0
This is split into rcu_preempt, rcu_sched, and rcu_bh sections, with the
rcu_preempt section appearing only in CONFIG_TINY_PREEMPT_RCU builds.
The last three lines of the rcu_preempt section appear only in
CONFIG_RCU_BOOST kernel builds. The fields are as follows:
This is split into rcu_sched and rcu_bh sections. The field is as
follows:
o "qlen" is the number of RCU callbacks currently waiting either
for an RCU grace period or waiting to be invoked. This is the
only field present for rcu_sched and rcu_bh, due to the
short-circuiting of grace period in those two cases.
o "gp" is the number of grace periods that have completed.
o "g197/p197/c197" displays the grace-period state, with the
"g" number being the number of grace periods that have started
(mod 256), the "p" number being the number of grace periods
that the CPU has responded to (also mod 256), and the "c"
number being the number of grace periods that have completed
(once again mode 256).
Why have both "gp" and "g"? Because the data flowing into
"gp" is only present in a CONFIG_RCU_TRACE kernel.
o "tasks" is a set of bits. The first bit is "T" if there are
currently tasks that have recently blocked within an RCU
read-side critical section, the second bit is "N" if any of the
aforementioned tasks are blocking the current RCU grace period,
and the third bit is "E" if any of the aforementioned tasks are
blocking the current expedited grace period. Each bit is "."
if the corresponding condition does not hold.
o "ttb" is a single bit. It is "B" if any of the blocked tasks
need to be priority boosted and "." otherwise.
o "btg" indicates whether boosting has been carried out during
the current grace period, with "exp" indicating that boosting
is in progress for an expedited grace period, "no" indicating
that boosting has not yet started for a normal grace period,
"begun" indicating that boosting has bebug for a normal grace
period, and "done" indicating that boosting has completed for
a normal grace period.
o "ntb" is the total number of tasks subjected to RCU priority boosting
periods since boot.
o "neb" is the number of expedited grace periods that have had
to resort to RCU priority boosting since boot.
o "nnb" is the number of normal grace periods that have had
to resort to RCU priority boosting since boot.
o "j" is the low-order 16 bits of the jiffies counter in hexadecimal.
o "bt" is the low-order 16 bits of the value that the jiffies counter
will have at the next time that boosting is scheduled to begin.
o In the line beginning with "normal balk", the fields are as follows:
o "nt" is the number of times that the system balked from
boosting because there were no blocked tasks to boost.
Note that the system will balk from boosting even if the
grace period is overdue when the currently running task
is looping within an RCU read-side critical section.
There is no point in boosting in this case, because
boosting a running task won't make it run any faster.
o "gt" is the number of times that the system balked
from boosting because, although there were blocked tasks,
none of them were preventing the current grace period
from completing.
o "bt" is the number of times that the system balked
from boosting because boosting was already in progress.
o "b" is the number of times that the system balked from
boosting because boosting had already completed for
the grace period in question.
o "ny" is the number of times that the system balked from
boosting because it was not yet time to start boosting
the grace period in question.
o "nos" is the number of times that the system balked from
boosting for inexplicable ("not otherwise specified")
reasons. This can actually happen due to races involving
increments of the jiffies counter.
o In the line beginning with "exp balk", the fields are as follows:
o "bt" is the number of times that the system balked from
boosting because there were no blocked tasks to boost.
o "nos" is the number of times that the system balked from
boosting for inexplicable ("not otherwise specified")
reasons.

ACPI Device Tree - Representation of ACPI Namespace
Copyright (C) 2013, Intel Corporation
Author: Lv Zheng <lv.zheng@intel.com>
Abstract:
The Linux ACPI subsystem converts ACPI namespace objects into a Linux
device tree under the /sys/devices/LNXSYSTEM:00 and updates it upon
receiving ACPI hotplug notification events. For each device object in this
hierarchy there is a corresponding symbolic link in the
/sys/bus/acpi/devices.
This document illustrates the structure of the ACPI device tree.

1. ACPI Definition Blocks
The ACPI firmware sets up RSDP (Root System Description Pointer) in the
system memory address space pointing to the XSDT (Extended System
Description Table). The XSDT always points to the FADT (Fixed ACPI
Description Table) using its first entry, the data within the FADT
includes various fixed-length entries that describe fixed ACPI features
of the hardware. The FADT contains a pointer to the DSDT
(Differentiated System Descripition Table). The XSDT also contains
entries pointing to possibly multiple SSDTs (Secondary System
Description Table).
The DSDT and SSDT data is organized in data structures called definition
blocks that contain definitions of various objects, including ACPI
control methods, encoded in AML (ACPI Machine Language). The data block
of the DSDT along with the contents of SSDTs represents a hierarchical
data structure called the ACPI namespace whose topology reflects the
structure of the underlying hardware platform.
The relationships between ACPI System Definition Tables described above
are illustrated in the following diagram.

NOTE: RSDP can also contain a pointer to the RSDT (Root System
Description Table). Platforms provide RSDT to enable
compatibility with ACPI 1.0 operating systems. The OS is expected
to use XSDT, if present.
2. Example ACPI Namespace
All definition blocks are loaded into a single namespace. The namespace
is a hierarchy of objects identified by names and paths.
The following naming conventions apply to object names in the ACPI
namespace:
1. All names are 32 bits long.
2. The first byte of a name must be one of 'A' - 'Z', '_'.
3. Each of the remaining bytes of a name must be one of 'A' - 'Z', '0'
- '9', '_'.
4. Names starting with '_' are reserved by the ACPI specification.
5. The '\' symbol represents the root of the namespace (i.e. names
prepended with '\' are relative to the namespace root).
6. The '^' symbol represents the parent of the current namespace node
(i.e. names prepended with '^' are relative to the parent of the
current namespace node).
The figure below shows an example ACPI namespace.

3. Linux ACPI Device Objects
The Linux kernel's core ACPI subsystem creates struct acpi_device
objects for ACPI namespace objects representing devices, power resources
processors, thermal zones. Those objects are exported to user space via
sysfs as directories in the subtree under /sys/devices/LNXSYSTM:00. The
format of their names is <bus_id:instance>, where 'bus_id' refers to the
ACPI namespace representation of the given object and 'instance' is used
for distinguishing different object of the same 'bus_id' (it is
two-digit decimal representation of an unsigned integer).
The value of 'bus_id' depends on the type of the object whose name it is
part of as listed in the table below.

Table 1. ACPI Namespace Objects Mapping
The following rules apply when creating struct acpi_device objects on
the basis of the contents of ACPI System Description Tables (as
indicated by the letter in the first column and the notation in the
second column of the table above):
N:
The object's source is an ACPI namespace node (as indicated by the
named object's type in the second column). In that case the object's
directory in sysfs will contain the 'path' attribute whose value is
the full path to the node from the namespace root.
struct acpi_device objects are created for the ACPI namespace nodes
whose _STA control methods return PRESENT or FUNCTIONING. The power
resource nodes or nodes without _STA are assumed to be both PRESENT
and FUNCTIONING.
F:
The struct acpi_device object is created for a fixed hardware
feature (as indicated by the fixed feature flag's name in the second
column), so its sysfs directory will not contain the 'path'
attribute.
M:
The struct acpi_device object is created for an ACPI namespace node
with specific control methods (as indicated by the ACPI defined
device's type in the second column). The 'path' attribute containing
its namespace path will be present in its sysfs directory. For
example, if the _BCL method is present for an ACPI namespace node, a
struct acpi_device object with LNXVIDEO 'bus_id' will be created for
it.
The third column of the above table indicates which ACPI System
Description Tables contain information used for the creation of the
struct acpi_device objects represented by the given row (xSDT means DSDT
or SSDT).
The forth column of the above table indicates the 'bus_id' generation
rule of the struct acpi_device object:
_HID:
_HID in the last column of the table means that the object's bus_id
is derived from the _HID/_CID identification objects present under
the corresponding ACPI namespace node. The object's sysfs directory
will then contain the 'hid' and 'modalias' attributes that can be
used to retrieve the _HID and _CIDs of that object.
LNXxxxxx:
The 'modalias' attribute is also present for struct acpi_device
objects having bus_id of the "LNXxxxxx" form (pseudo devices), in
which cases it contains the bus_id string itself.
device:
'device' in the last column of the table indicates that the object's
bus_id cannot be determined from _HID/_CID of the corresponding
ACPI namespace node, although that object represents a device (for
example, it may be a PCI device with _ADR defined and without _HID
or _CID). In that case the string 'device' will be used as the
object's bus_id.
4. Linux ACPI Physical Device Glue
ACPI device (i.e. struct acpi_device) objects may be linked to other
objects in the Linux' device hierarchy that represent "physical" devices
(for example, devices on the PCI bus). If that happens, it means that
the ACPI device object is a "companion" of a device otherwise
represented in a different way and is used (1) to provide configuration
information on that device which cannot be obtained by other means and
(2) to do specific things to the device with the help of its ACPI
control methods. One ACPI device object may be linked this way to
multiple "physical" devices.
If an ACPI device object is linked to a "physical" device, its sysfs
directory contains the "physical_node" symbolic link to the sysfs
directory of the target device object. In turn, the target device's
sysfs directory will then contain the "firmware_node" symbolic link to
the sysfs directory of the companion ACPI device object.
The linking mechanism relies on device identification provided by the
ACPI namespace. For example, if there's an ACPI namespace object
representing a PCI device (i.e. a device object under an ACPI namespace
object representing a PCI bridge) whose _ADR returns 0x00020000 and the
bus number of the parent PCI bridge is 0, the sysfs directory
representing the struct acpi_device object created for that ACPI
namespace object will contain the 'physical_node' symbolic link to the
/sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:02:0/ sysfs directory of the
corresponding PCI device.
The linking mechanism is generally bus-specific. The core of its
implementation is located in the drivers/acpi/glue.c file, but there are
complementary parts depending on the bus types in question located
elsewhere. For example, the PCI-specific part of it is located in
drivers/pci/pci-acpi.c.

ACPI video extensions
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This driver implement the ACPI Extensions For Display Adapters for
integrated graphics devices on motherboard, as specified in ACPI 2.0
Specification, Appendix B, allowing to perform some basic control like
defining the video POST device, retrieving EDID information or to
setup a video output, etc. Note that this is an ref. implementation
only. It may or may not work for your integrated video device.
The ACPI video driver does 3 things regarding backlight control:
1 Export a sysfs interface for user space to control backlight level
If the ACPI table has a video device, and acpi_backlight=vendor kernel
command line is not present, the driver will register a backlight device
and set the required backlight operation structure for it for the sysfs
interface control. For every registered class device, there will be a
directory named acpi_videoX under /sys/class/backlight.
The backlight sysfs interface has a standard definition here:
Documentation/ABI/stable/sysfs-class-backlight.
And what ACPI video driver does is:
actual_brightness: on read, control method _BQC will be evaluated to
get the brightness level the firmware thinks it is at;
bl_power: not implemented, will set the current brightness instead;
brightness: on write, control method _BCM will run to set the requested
brightness level;
max_brightness: Derived from the _BCL package(see below);
type: firmware
Note that ACPI video backlight driver will always use index for
brightness, actual_brightness and max_brightness. So if we have
the following _BCL package:
Method (_BCL, 0, NotSerialized)
{
Return (Package (0x0C)
{
0x64,
0x32,
0x0A,
0x14,
0x1E,
0x28,
0x32,
0x3C,
0x46,
0x50,
0x5A,
0x64
})
}
The first two levels are for when laptop are on AC or on battery and are
not used by Linux currently. The remaining 10 levels are supported levels
that we can choose from. The applicable index values are from 0 (that
corresponds to the 0x0A brightness value) to 9 (that corresponds to the
0x64 brightness value) inclusive. Each of those index values is regarded
as a "brightness level" indicator. Thus from the user space perspective
the range of available brightness levels is from 0 to 9 (max_brightness)
inclusive.
2 Notify user space about hotkey event
There are generally two cases for hotkey event reporting:
i) For some laptops, when user presses the hotkey, a scancode will be
generated and sent to user space through the input device created by
the keyboard driver as a key type input event, with proper remap, the
following key code will appear to user space:
EV_KEY, KEY_BRIGHTNESSUP
EV_KEY, KEY_BRIGHTNESSDOWN
etc.
For this case, ACPI video driver does not need to do anything(actually,
it doesn't even know this happened).
ii) For some laptops, the press of the hotkey will not generate the
scancode, instead, firmware will notify the video device ACPI node
about the event. The event value is defined in the ACPI spec. ACPI
video driver will generate an key type input event according to the
notify value it received and send the event to user space through the
input device it created:
event keycode
0x86 KEY_BRIGHTNESSUP
0x87 KEY_BRIGHTNESSDOWN
etc.
so this would lead to the same effect as case i) now.
Once user space tool receives this event, it can modify the backlight
level through the sysfs interface.
3 Change backlight level in the kernel
This works for machines covered by case ii) in Section 2. Once the driver
received a notification, it will set the backlight level accordingly. This does
not affect the sending of event to user space, they are always sent to user
space regardless of whether or not the video module controls the backlight level
directly. This behaviour can be controlled through the brightness_switch_enabled
module parameter as documented in kernel-parameters.txt. It is recommended to
disable this behaviour once a GUI environment starts up and wants to have full
control of the backlight level.

Kernel mode NEON
================
TL;DR summary
-------------
* Use only NEON instructions, or VFP instructions that don't rely on support
code
* Isolate your NEON code in a separate compilation unit, and compile it with
'-mfpu=neon -mfloat-abi=softfp'
* Put kernel_neon_begin() and kernel_neon_end() calls around the calls into your
NEON code
* Don't sleep in your NEON code, and be aware that it will be executed with
preemption disabled
Introduction
------------
It is possible to use NEON instructions (and in some cases, VFP instructions) in
code that runs in kernel mode. However, for performance reasons, the NEON/VFP
register file is not preserved and restored at every context switch or taken
exception like the normal register file is, so some manual intervention is
required. Furthermore, special care is required for code that may sleep [i.e.,
may call schedule()], as NEON or VFP instructions will be executed in a
non-preemptible section for reasons outlined below.
Lazy preserve and restore
-------------------------
The NEON/VFP register file is managed using lazy preserve (on UP systems) and
lazy restore (on both SMP and UP systems). This means that the register file is
kept 'live', and is only preserved and restored when multiple tasks are
contending for the NEON/VFP unit (or, in the SMP case, when a task migrates to
another core). Lazy restore is implemented by disabling the NEON/VFP unit after
every context switch, resulting in a trap when subsequently a NEON/VFP
instruction is issued, allowing the kernel to step in and perform the restore if
necessary.
Any use of the NEON/VFP unit in kernel mode should not interfere with this, so
it is required to do an 'eager' preserve of the NEON/VFP register file, and
enable the NEON/VFP unit explicitly so no exceptions are generated on first
subsequent use. This is handled by the function kernel_neon_begin(), which
should be called before any kernel mode NEON or VFP instructions are issued.
Likewise, the NEON/VFP unit should be disabled again after use to make sure user
mode will hit the lazy restore trap upon next use. This is handled by the
function kernel_neon_end().
Interruptions in kernel mode
----------------------------
For reasons of performance and simplicity, it was decided that there shall be no
preserve/restore mechanism for the kernel mode NEON/VFP register contents. This
implies that interruptions of a kernel mode NEON section can only be allowed if
they are guaranteed not to touch the NEON/VFP registers. For this reason, the
following rules and restrictions apply in the kernel:
* NEON/VFP code is not allowed in interrupt context;
* NEON/VFP code is not allowed to sleep;
* NEON/VFP code is executed with preemption disabled.
If latency is a concern, it is possible to put back to back calls to
kernel_neon_end() and kernel_neon_begin() in places in your code where none of
the NEON registers are live. (Additional calls to kernel_neon_begin() should be
reasonably cheap if no context switch occurred in the meantime)
VFP and support code
--------------------
Earlier versions of VFP (prior to version 3) rely on software support for things
like IEEE-754 compliant underflow handling etc. When the VFP unit needs such
software assistance, it signals the kernel by raising an undefined instruction
exception. The kernel responds by inspecting the VFP control registers and the
current instruction and arguments, and emulates the instruction in software.
Such software assistance is currently not implemented for VFP instructions
executed in kernel mode. If such a condition is encountered, the kernel will
fail and generate an OOPS.
Separating NEON code from ordinary code
---------------------------------------
The compiler is not aware of the special significance of kernel_neon_begin() and
kernel_neon_end(), i.e., that it is only allowed to issue NEON/VFP instructions
between calls to these respective functions. Furthermore, GCC may generate NEON
instructions of its own at -O3 level if -mfpu=neon is selected, and even if the
kernel is currently compiled at -O2, future changes may result in NEON/VFP
instructions appearing in unexpected places if no special care is taken.
Therefore, the recommended and only supported way of using NEON/VFP in the
kernel is by adhering to the following rules:
* isolate the NEON code in a separate compilation unit and compile it with
'-mfpu=neon -mfloat-abi=softfp';
* issue the calls to kernel_neon_begin(), kernel_neon_end() as well as the calls
into the unit containing the NEON code from a compilation unit which is *not*
built with the GCC flag '-mfpu=neon' set.
As the kernel is compiled with '-msoft-float', the above will guarantee that
both NEON and VFP instructions will only ever appear in designated compilation
units at any optimization level.
NEON assembler
--------------
NEON assembler is supported with no additional caveats as long as the rules
above are followed.
NEON code generated by GCC
--------------------------
The GCC option -ftree-vectorize (implied by -O3) tries to exploit implicit
parallelism, and generates NEON code from ordinary C source code. This is fully
supported as long as the rules above are followed.
NEON intrinsics
---------------
NEON intrinsics are also supported. However, as code using NEON intrinsics
relies on the GCC header <arm_neon.h>, (which #includes <stdint.h>), you should
observe the following in addition to the rules above:
* Compile the unit containing the NEON intrinsics with '-ffreestanding' so GCC
uses its builtin version of <stdint.h> (this is a C99 header which the kernel
does not supply);
* Include <arm_neon.h> last, or at least after <linux/types.h>

Tagged virtual addresses in AArch64 Linux
=========================================
Author: Will Deacon <will.deacon@arm.com>
Date : 12 June 2013
This document briefly describes the provision of tagged virtual
addresses in the AArch64 translation system and their potential uses
in AArch64 Linux.
The kernel configures the translation tables so that translations made
via TTBR0 (i.e. userspace mappings) have the top byte (bits 63:56) of
the virtual address ignored by the translation hardware. This frees up
this byte for application use, with the following caveats:
(1) The kernel requires that all user addresses passed to EL1
are tagged with tag 0x00. This means that any syscall
parameters containing user virtual addresses *must* have
their top byte cleared before trapping to the kernel.
(2) Non-zero tags are not preserved when delivering signals.
This means that signal handlers in applications making use
of tags cannot rely on the tag information for user virtual
addresses being maintained for fields inside siginfo_t.
One exception to this rule is for signals raised in response
to watchpoint debug exceptions, where the tag information
will be preserved.
(3) Special care should be taken when using tagged pointers,
since it is likely that C compilers will not hazard two
virtual addresses differing only in the upper byte.
The architecture prevents the use of a tagged PC, so the upper byte will
be set to a sign-extension of bit 55 on exception return.

Embedded device command line partition parsing
=====================================================================
Support for reading the block device partition table from the command line.
It is typically used for fixed block (eMMC) embedded devices.
It has no MBR, so saves storage space. Bootloader can be easily accessed
by absolute address of data on the block device.
Users can easily change the partition.
The format for the command line is just like mtdparts:
blkdevparts=<blkdev-def>[;<blkdev-def>]
<blkdev-def> := <blkdev-id>:<partdef>[,<partdef>]
<partdef> := <size>[@<offset>](part-name)
<blkdev-id>
block device disk name, embedded device used fixed block device,
it's disk name also fixed. such as: mmcblk0, mmcblk1, mmcblk0boot0.
<size>
partition size, in bytes, such as: 512, 1m, 1G.
<offset>
partition start address, in bytes.
(part-name)
partition name, kernel send uevent with "PARTNAME". application can create
a link to block device partition with the name "PARTNAME".
user space application can access partition by partition name.
Example:
eMMC disk name is "mmcblk0" and "mmcblk0boot0"
bootargs:
'blkdevparts=mmcblk0:1G(data0),1G(data1),-;mmcblk0boot0:1m(boot),-(kernel)'
dmesg:
mmcblk0: p1(data0) p2(data1) p3()
mmcblk0boot0: p1(boot) p2(kernel)

Hierarchical Cgroups
====================
- Currently only CFQ supports hierarchical groups. For throttling,
cgroup interface does allow creation of hierarchical cgroups and
internally it treats them as flat hierarchy.

Both CFQ and throttling implement hierarchy support; however,

Nesting cgroups, while allowed, isn't officially supported and blkio
genereates warning when cgroups nest. Once throttling implements
hierarchy support, hierarchy will be supported and the warning will
