Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!

+ Booting ARM Linux
+ =================
+
+Author: Russell King
+Date : 18 May 2002
+
+The following documentation is relevant to 2.4.18-rmk6 and beyond.
+
+In order to boot ARM Linux, you require a boot loader, which is a small
+program that runs before the main kernel. The boot loader is expected
+to initialise various devices, and eventually call the Linux kernel,
+passing information to the kernel.
+
+Essentially, the boot loader should provide (as a minimum) the
+following:
+
+1. Setup and initialise the RAM.
+2. Initialise one serial port.
+3. Detect the machine type.
+4. Setup the kernel tagged list.
+5. Call the kernel image.
+
+
+1. Setup and initialise RAM
+---------------------------
+
+Existing boot loaders: MANDATORY
+New boot loaders: MANDATORY
+
+The boot loader is expected to find and initialise all RAM that the
+kernel will use for volatile data storage in the system. It performs
+this in a machine dependent manner. (It may use internal algorithms
+to automatically locate and size all RAM, or it may use knowledge of
+the RAM in the machine, or any other method the boot loader designer
+sees fit.)
+
+
+2. Initialise one serial port
+-----------------------------
+
+Existing boot loaders: OPTIONAL, RECOMMENDED
+New boot loaders: OPTIONAL, RECOMMENDED
+
+The boot loader should initialise and enable one serial port on the
+target. This allows the kernel serial driver to automatically detect
+which serial port it should use for the kernel console (generally
+used for debugging purposes, or communication with the target.)
+
+As an alternative, the boot loader can pass the relevant 'console='
+option to the kernel via the tagged lists specifying the port, and
+serial format options as described in
+
+ Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt.
+
+
+3. Detect the machine type
+--------------------------
+
+Existing boot loaders: OPTIONAL
+New boot loaders: MANDATORY
+
+The boot loader should detect the machine type its running on by some
+method. Whether this is a hard coded value or some algorithm that
+looks at the connected hardware is beyond the scope of this document.
+The boot loader must ultimately be able to provide a MACH_TYPE_xxx
+value to the kernel. (see linux/arch/arm/tools/mach-types).
+
+
+4. Setup the kernel tagged list
+-------------------------------
+
+Existing boot loaders: OPTIONAL, HIGHLY RECOMMENDED
+New boot loaders: MANDATORY
+
+The boot loader must create and initialise the kernel tagged list.
+A valid tagged list starts with ATAG_CORE and ends with ATAG_NONE.
+The ATAG_CORE tag may or may not be empty. An empty ATAG_CORE tag
+has the size field set to '2' (0x00000002). The ATAG_NONE must set
+the size field to zero.
+
+Any number of tags can be placed in the list. It is undefined
+whether a repeated tag appends to the information carried by the
+previous tag, or whether it replaces the information in its
+entirety; some tags behave as the former, others the latter.
+
+The boot loader must pass at a minimum the size and location of
+the system memory, and root filesystem location. Therefore, the
+minimum tagged list should look:
+
+ +-----------+
+base -> | ATAG_CORE | |
+ +-----------+ |
+ | ATAG_MEM | | increasing address
+ +-----------+ |
+ | ATAG_NONE | |
+ +-----------+ v
+
+The tagged list should be stored in system RAM.
+
+The tagged list must be placed in a region of memory where neither
+the kernel decompressor nor initrd 'bootp' program will overwrite
+it. The recommended placement is in the first 16KiB of RAM.
+
+5. Calling the kernel image
+---------------------------
+
+Existing boot loaders: MANDATORY
+New boot loaders: MANDATORY
+
+There are two options for calling the kernel zImage. If the zImage
+is stored in flash, and is linked correctly to be run from flash,
+then it is legal for the boot loader to call the zImage in flash
+directly.
+
+The zImage may also be placed in system RAM (at any location) and
+called there. Note that the kernel uses 16K of RAM below the image
+to store page tables. The recommended placement is 32KiB into RAM.
+
+In either case, the following conditions must be met:
+
+- Quiesce all DMA capable devicess so that memory does not get
+ corrupted by bogus network packets or disk data. This will save
+ you many hours of debug.
+
+- CPU register settings
+ r0 = 0,
+ r1 = machine type number discovered in (3) above.
+ r2 = physical address of tagged list in system RAM.
+
+- CPU mode
+ All forms of interrupts must be disabled (IRQs and FIQs)
+ The CPU must be in SVC mode. (A special exception exists for Angel)
+
+- Caches, MMUs
+ The MMU must be off.
+ Instruction cache may be on or off.
+ Data cache must be off.
+
+- The boot loader is expected to call the kernel image by jumping
+ directly to the first instruction of the kernel image.

+Release Notes for Linux on Intel's IXP2000 Network Processor
+
+Maintained by Deepak Saxena <dsaxena@plexity.net>
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+1. Overview
+
+Intel's IXP2000 family of NPUs (IXP2400, IXP2800, IXP2850) is designed
+for high-performance network applications such high-availability
+telecom systems. In addition to an XScale core, it contains up to 8
+"MicroEngines" that run special code, several high-end networking
+interfaces (UTOPIA, SPI, etc), a PCI host bridge, one serial port,
+flash interface, and some other odds and ends. For more information, see:
+
+http://developer.intel.com/design/network/products/npfamily/ixp2xxx.htm
+
+2. Linux Support
+
+Linux currently supports the following features on the IXP2000 NPUs:
+
+- On-chip serial
+- PCI
+- Flash (MTD/JFFS2)
+- I2C through GPIO
+- Timers (watchdog, OS)
+
+That is about all we can support under Linux ATM b/c the core networking
+components of the chip are accessed via Intel's closed source SDK.
+Please contact Intel directly on issues with using those. There is
+also a mailing list run by some folks at Princeton University that might
+be of help: https://lists.cs.princeton.edu/mailman/listinfo/ixp2xxx
+
+WHATEVER YOU DO, DO NOT POST EMAIL TO THE LINUX-ARM OR LINUX-ARM-KERNEL
+MAILING LISTS REGARDING THE INTEL SDK.
+
+3. Supported Platforms
+
+- Intel IXDP2400 Reference Platform
+- Intel IXDP2800 Reference Platform
+- Intel IXDP2401 Reference Platform
+- Intel IXDP2801 Reference Platform
+- RadiSys ENP-2611
+
+4. Usage Notes
+
+- The IXP2000 platforms usually have rather complex PCI bus topologies
+ with large memory space requirements. In addition, b/c of the way the
+ Intel SDK is designed, devices are enumerated in a very specific
+ way. B/c of this this, we use "pci=firmware" option in the kernel
+ command line so that we do not re-enumerate the bus.
+
+- IXDP2x01 systems have variable clock tick rates that we cannot determine
+ via HW registers. The "ixdp2x01_clk=XXX" cmd line options allow you
+ to pass the clock rate to the board port.
+
+5. Thanks

+Release Notes for Linux on Intel's IXP4xx Network Processor
+
+Maintained by Deepak Saxena <dsaxena@plexity.net>
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+1. Overview
+
+Intel's IXP4xx network processor is a highly integrated SOC that
+is targeted for network applications, though it has become popular
+in industrial control and other areas due to low cost and power
+consumption. The IXP4xx family currently consists of several processors
+that support different network offload functions such as encryption,
+routing, firewalling, etc. The IXP46x family is an updated version which
+supports faster speeds, new memory and flash configurations, and more
+integration such as an on-chip I2C controller.
+
+For more information on the various versions of the CPU, see:
+
+ http://developer.intel.com/design/network/products/npfamily/ixp4xx.htm
+
+Intel also made the IXCP1100 CPU for sometime which is an IXP4xx
+stripped of much of the network intelligence.
+
+2. Linux Support
+
+Linux currently supports the following features on the IXP4xx chips:
+
+- Dual serial ports
+- PCI interface
+- Flash access (MTD/JFFS)
+- I2C through GPIO on IXP42x
+- GPIO for input/output/interrupts
+ See include/asm-arm/arch-ixp4xx/platform.h for access functions.
+- Timers (watchdog, OS)
+
+The following components of the chips are not supported by Linux and
+require the use of Intel's propietary CSR softare:
+
+- USB device interface
+- Network interfaces (HSS, Utopia, NPEs, etc)
+- Network offload functionality
+
+If you need to use any of the above, you need to download Intel's
+software from:
+
+ http://developer.intel.com/design/network/products/npfamily/ixp425swr1.htm
+
+DO NOT POST QUESTIONS TO THE LINUX MAILING LISTS REGARDING THE PROPIETARY
+SOFTWARE.
+
+There are several websites that provide directions/pointers on using
+Intel's software:
+
+http://ixp4xx-osdg.sourceforge.net/
+ Open Source Developer's Guide for using uClinux and the Intel libraries
+
+http://gatewaymaker.sourceforge.net/
+ Simple one page summary of building a gateway using an IXP425 and Linux
+
+http://ixp425.sourceforge.net/
+ ATM device driver for IXP425 that relies on Intel's libraries
+
+3. Known Issues/Limitations
+
+3a. Limited inbound PCI window
+
+The IXP4xx family allows for up to 256MB of memory but the PCI interface
+can only expose 64MB of that memory to the PCI bus. This means that if
+you are running with > 64MB, all PCI buffers outside of the accessible
+range will be bounced using the routines in arch/arm/common/dmabounce.c.
+
+3b. Limited outbound PCI window
+
+IXP4xx provides two methods of accessing PCI memory space:
+
+1) A direct mapped window from 0x48000000 to 0x4bffffff (64MB).
+ To access PCI via this space, we simply ioremap() the BAR
+ into the kernel and we can use the standard read[bwl]/write[bwl]
+ macros. This is the preffered method due to speed but it
+ limits the system to just 64MB of PCI memory. This can be
+ problamatic if using video cards and other memory-heavy devices.
+
+2) If > 64MB of memory space is required, the IXP4xx can be
+ configured to use indirect registers to access PCI This allows
+ for up to 128MB (0x48000000 to 0x4fffffff) of memory on the bus.
+ The disadvantadge of this is that every PCI access requires
+ three local register accesses plus a spinlock, but in some
+ cases the performance hit is acceptable. In addition, you cannot
+ mmap() PCI devices in this case due to the indirect nature
+ of the PCI window.
+
+By default, the direct method is used for performance reasons. If
+you need more PCI memory, enable the IXP4XX_INDIRECT_PCI config option.
+
+3c. GPIO as Interrupts
+
+Currently the code only handles level-sensitive GPIO interrupts
+
+4. Supported platforms
+
+ADI Engineering Coyote Gateway Reference Platform
+http://www.adiengineering.com/productsCoyote.html
+
+ The ADI Coyote platform is reference design for those building
+ small residential/office gateways. One NPE is connected to a 10/100
+ interface, one to 4-port 10/100 switch, and the third to and ADSL
+ interface. In addition, it also supports to POTs interfaces connected
+ via SLICs. Note that those are not supported by Linux ATM. Finally,
+ the platform has two mini-PCI slots used for 802.11[bga] cards.
+ Finally, there is an IDE port hanging off the expansion bus.
+
+Gateworks Avila Network Platform
+http://www.gateworks.com/avila_sbc.htm
+
+ The Avila platform is basically and IXDP425 with the 4 PCI slots
+ replaced with mini-PCI slots and a CF IDE interface hanging off
+ the expansion bus.
+
+Intel IXDP425 Development Platform
+http://developer.intel.com/design/network/products/npfamily/ixdp425.htm
+
+ This is Intel's standard reference platform for the IXDP425 and is
+ also known as the Richfield board. It contains 4 PCI slots, 16MB
+ of flash, two 10/100 ports and one ADSL port.
+
+Intel IXDP465 Development Platform
+http://developer.intel.com/design/network/products/npfamily/ixdp465.htm
+
+ This is basically an IXDP425 with an IXP465 and 32M of flash instead
+ of just 16.
+
+Intel IXDPG425 Development Platform
+
+ This is basically and ADI Coyote board with a NEC EHCI controller
+ added. One issue with this board is that the mini-PCI slots only
+ have the 3.3v line connected, so you can't use a PCI to mini-PCI
+ adapter with an E100 card. So to NFS root you need to use either
+ the CSR or a WiFi card and a ramdisk that BOOTPs and then does
+ a pivot_root to NFS.
+
+Motorola PrPMC1100 Processor Mezanine Card
+http://www.fountainsys.com/datasheet/PrPMC1100.pdf
+
+ The PrPMC1100 is based on the IXCP1100 and is meant to plug into
+ and IXP2400/2800 system to act as the system controller. It simply
+ contains a CPU and 16MB of flash on the board and needs to be
+ plugged into a carrier board to function. Currently Linux only
+ supports the Motorola PrPMC carrier board for this platform.
+ See https://mcg.motorola.com/us/ds/pdf/ds0144.pdf for info
+ on the carrier board.
+
+5. TODO LIST
+
+- Add support for Coyote IDE
+- Add support for edge-based GPIO interrupts
+- Add support for CF IDE on expansion bus

+2.5.2-rmk5
+----------
+
+This is the first kernel that contains a major shake up of some of the
+major architecture-specific subsystems.
+
+Firstly, it contains some pretty major changes to the way we handle the
+MMU TLB. Each MMU TLB variant is now handled completely separately -
+we have TLB v3, TLB v4 (without write buffer), TLB v4 (with write buffer),
+and finally TLB v4 (with write buffer, with I TLB invalidate entry).
+There is more assembly code inside each of these functions, mainly to
+allow more flexible TLB handling for the future.
+
+Secondly, the IRQ subsystem.
+
+The 2.5 kernels will be having major changes to the way IRQs are handled.
+Unfortunately, this means that machine types that touch the irq_desc[]
+array (basically all machine types) will break, and this means every
+machine type that we currently have.
+
+Lets take an example. On the Assabet with Neponset, we have:
+
+ GPIO25 IRR:2
+ SA1100 ------------> Neponset -----------> SA1111
+ IIR:1
+ -----------> USAR
+ IIR:0
+ -----------> SMC9196
+
+The way stuff currently works, all SA1111 interrupts are mutually
+exclusive of each other - if you're processing one interrupt from the
+SA1111 and another comes in, you have to wait for that interrupt to
+finish processing before you can service the new interrupt. Eg, an
+IDE PIO-based interrupt on the SA1111 excludes all other SA1111 and
+SMC9196 interrupts until it has finished transferring its multi-sector
+data, which can be a long time. Note also that since we loop in the
+SA1111 IRQ handler, SA1111 IRQs can hold off SMC9196 IRQs indefinitely.
+
+
+The new approach brings several new ideas...
+
+We introduce the concept of a "parent" and a "child". For example,
+to the Neponset handler, the "parent" is GPIO25, and the "children"d
+are SA1111, SMC9196 and USAR.
+
+We also bring the idea of an IRQ "chip" (mainly to reduce the size of
+the irqdesc array). This doesn't have to be a real "IC"; indeed the
+SA11x0 IRQs are handled by two separate "chip" structures, one for
+GPIO0-10, and another for all the rest. It is just a container for
+the various operations (maybe this'll change to a better name).
+This structure has the following operations:
+
+struct irqchip {
+ /*
+ * Acknowledge the IRQ.
+ * If this is a level-based IRQ, then it is expected to mask the IRQ
+ * as well.
+ */
+ void (*ack)(unsigned int irq);
+ /*
+ * Mask the IRQ in hardware.
+ */
+ void (*mask)(unsigned int irq);
+ /*
+ * Unmask the IRQ in hardware.
+ */
+ void (*unmask)(unsigned int irq);
+ /*
+ * Re-run the IRQ
+ */
+ void (*rerun)(unsigned int irq);
+ /*
+ * Set the type of the IRQ.
+ */
+ int (*type)(unsigned int irq, unsigned int, type);
+};
+
+ack - required. May be the same function as mask for IRQs
+ handled by do_level_IRQ.
+mask - required.
+unmask - required.
+rerun - optional. Not required if you're using do_level_IRQ for all
+ IRQs that use this 'irqchip'. Generally expected to re-trigger
+ the hardware IRQ if possible. If not, may call the handler
+ directly.
+type - optional. If you don't support changing the type of an IRQ,
+ it should be null so people can detect if they are unable to
+ set the IRQ type.
+
+For each IRQ, we keep the following information:
+
+ - "disable" depth (number of disable_irq()s without enable_irq()s)
+ - flags indicating what we can do with this IRQ (valid, probe,
+ noautounmask) as before
+ - status of the IRQ (probing, enable, etc)
+ - chip
+ - per-IRQ handler
+ - irqaction structure list
+
+The handler can be one of the 3 standard handlers - "level", "edge" and
+"simple", or your own specific handler if you need to do something special.
+
+The "level" handler is what we currently have - its pretty simple.
+"edge" knows about the brokenness of such IRQ implementations - that you
+need to leave the hardware IRQ enabled while processing it, and queueing
+further IRQ events should the IRQ happen again while processing. The
+"simple" handler is very basic, and does not perform any hardware
+manipulation, nor state tracking. This is useful for things like the
+SMC9196 and USAR above.
+
+So, what's changed?
+
+1. Machine implementations must not write to the irqdesc array.
+
+2. New functions to manipulate the irqdesc array. The first 4 are expected
+ to be useful only to machine specific code. The last is recommended to
+ only be used by machine specific code, but may be used in drivers if
+ absolutely necessary.
+
+ set_irq_chip(irq,chip)
+
+ Set the mask/unmask methods for handling this IRQ
+
+ set_irq_handler(irq,handler)
+
+ Set the handler for this IRQ (level, edge, simple)
+
+ set_irq_chained_handler(irq,handler)
+
+ Set a "chained" handler for this IRQ - automatically
+ enables this IRQ (eg, Neponset and SA1111 handlers).
+
+ set_irq_flags(irq,flags)
+
+ Set the valid/probe/noautoenable flags.
+
+ set_irq_type(irq,type)
+
+ Set active the IRQ edge(s)/level. This replaces the
+ SA1111 INTPOL manipulation, and the set_GPIO_IRQ_edge()
+ function. Type should be one of the following:
+
+ #define IRQT_NOEDGE (0)
+ #define IRQT_RISING (__IRQT_RISEDGE)
+ #define IRQT_FALLING (__IRQT_FALEDGE)

+ #define IRQT_LOW (__IRQT_LOWLVL)
+ #define IRQT_HIGH (__IRQT_HIGHLVL)
+
+3. set_GPIO_IRQ_edge() is obsolete, and should be replaced by set_irq_type.
+
+4. Direct access to SA1111 INTPOL is depreciated. Use set_irq_type instead.
+
+5. A handler is expected to perform any necessary acknowledgement of the
+ parent IRQ via the correct chip specific function. For instance, if
+ the SA1111 is directly connected to a SA1110 GPIO, then you should
+ acknowledge the SA1110 IRQ each time you re-read the SA1111 IRQ status.
+
+6. For any child which doesn't have its own IRQ enable/disable controls
+ (eg, SMC9196), the handler must mask or acknowledge the parent IRQ
+ while the child handler is called, and the child handler should be the
+ "simple" handler (not "edge" nor "level"). After the handler completes,
+ the parent IRQ should be unmasked, and the status of all children must
+ be re-checked for pending events. (see the Neponset IRQ handler for
+ details).
+
+7. fixup_irq() is gone, as is include/asm-arm/arch-*/irq.h
+
+Please note that this will not solve all problems - some of them are
+hardware based. Mixing level-based and edge-based IRQs on the same
+parent signal (eg neponset) is one such area where a software based
+solution can't provide the full answer to low IRQ latency.

+
+Initial definitions
+-------------------
+
+The following symbol definitions rely on you knowing the translation that
+__virt_to_phys() does for your machine. This macro converts the passed
+virtual address to a physical address. Normally, it is simply:
+
+ phys = virt - PAGE_OFFSET + PHYS_OFFSET
+
+
+Decompressor Symbols
+--------------------
+
+ZTEXTADDR
+ Start address of decompressor. There's no point in talking about
+ virtual or physical addresses here, since the MMU will be off at
+ the time when you call the decompressor code. You normally call
+ the kernel at this address to start it booting. This doesn't have
+ to be located in RAM, it can be in flash or other read-only or
+ read-write addressable medium.
+
+ZBSSADDR
+ Start address of zero-initialised work area for the decompressor.
+ This must be pointing at RAM. The decompressor will zero initialise
+ this for you. Again, the MMU will be off.
+
+ZRELADDR
+ This is the address where the decompressed kernel will be written,
+ and eventually executed. The following constraint must be valid:
+
+ __virt_to_phys(TEXTADDR) == ZRELADDR
+
+ The initial part of the kernel is carefully coded to be position
+ independent.
+
+INITRD_PHYS
+ Physical address to place the initial RAM disk. Only relevant if
+ you are using the bootpImage stuff (which only works on the old
+ struct param_struct).
+
+INITRD_VIRT
+ Virtual address of the initial RAM disk. The following constraint
+ must be valid:
+
+ __virt_to_phys(INITRD_VIRT) == INITRD_PHYS
+
+PARAMS_PHYS
+ Physical address of the struct param_struct or tag list, giving the
+ kernel various parameters about its execution environment.
+
+
+Kernel Symbols
+--------------
+
+PHYS_OFFSET
+ Physical start address of the first bank of RAM.
+
+PAGE_OFFSET
+ Virtual start address of the first bank of RAM. During the kernel
+ boot phase, virtual address PAGE_OFFSET will be mapped to physical
+ address PHYS_OFFSET, along with any other mappings you supply.
+ This should be the same value as TASK_SIZE.
+
+TASK_SIZE
+ The maximum size of a user process in bytes. Since user space
+ always starts at zero, this is the maximum address that a user
+ process can access+1. The user space stack grows down from this
+ address.
+
+ Any virtual address below TASK_SIZE is deemed to be user process
+ area, and therefore managed dynamically on a process by process
+ basis by the kernel. I'll call this the user segment.
+
+ Anything above TASK_SIZE is common to all processes. I'll call
+ this the kernel segment.
+
+ (In other words, you can't put IO mappings below TASK_SIZE, and
+ hence PAGE_OFFSET).
+
+TEXTADDR
+ Virtual start address of kernel, normally PAGE_OFFSET + 0x8000.
+ This is where the kernel image ends up. With the latest kernels,
+ it must be located at 32768 bytes into a 128MB region. Previous
+ kernels placed a restriction of 256MB here.
+
+DATAADDR
+ Virtual address for the kernel data segment. Must not be defined
+ when using the decompressor.
+
+VMALLOC_START
+VMALLOC_END
+ Virtual addresses bounding the vmalloc() area. There must not be
+ any static mappings in this area; vmalloc will overwrite them.
+ The addresses must also be in the kernel segment (see above).
+ Normally, the vmalloc() area starts VMALLOC_OFFSET bytes above the
+ last virtual RAM address (found using variable high_memory).
+
+VMALLOC_OFFSET
+ Offset normally incorporated into VMALLOC_START to provide a hole
+ between virtual RAM and the vmalloc area. We do this to allow
+ out of bounds memory accesses (eg, something writing off the end
+ of the mapped memory map) to be caught. Normally set to 8MB.
+
+Architecture Specific Macros
+----------------------------
+
+BOOT_MEM(pram,pio,vio)
+ `pram' specifies the physical start address of RAM. Must always
+ be present, and should be the same as PHYS_OFFSET.
+
+ `pio' is the physical address of an 8MB region containing IO for
+ use with the debugging macros in arch/arm/kernel/debug-armv.S.
+
+ `vio' is the virtual address of the 8MB debugging region.
+
+ It is expected that the debugging region will be re-initialised
+ by the architecture specific code later in the code (via the
+ MAPIO function).
+
+BOOT_PARAMS
+ Same as, and see PARAMS_PHYS.
+
+FIXUP(func)
+ Machine specific fixups, run before memory subsystems have been
+ initialised.
+
+MAPIO(func)
+ Machine specific function to map IO areas (including the debug
+ region above).
+
+INITIRQ(func)
+ Machine specific function to initialise interrupts.

+ ARM Linux 2.6
+ =============
+
+ Please check <ftp://ftp.arm.linux.org.uk/pub/armlinux> for
+ updates.
+
+Compilation of kernel
+---------------------
+
+ In order to compile ARM Linux, you will need a compiler capable of
+ generating ARM ELF code with GNU extensions. GCC 2.95.1, EGCS
+ 1.1.2, and GCC 3.3 are known to be good compilers. Fortunately, you
+ needn't guess. The kernel will report an error if your compiler is
+ a recognized offender.
+
+ To build ARM Linux natively, you shouldn't have to alter the ARCH = line
+ in the top level Makefile. However, if you don't have the ARM Linux ELF
+ tools installed as default, then you should change the CROSS_COMPILE
+ line as detailed below.
+
+ If you wish to cross-compile, then alter the following lines in the top
+ level make file:
+
+ ARCH = <whatever>
+ with
+ ARCH = arm
+
+ and
+
+ CROSS_COMPILE=
+ to
+ CROSS_COMPILE=<your-path-to-your-compiler-without-gcc>
+ eg.
+ CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux-
+
+ Do a 'make config', followed by 'make Image' to build the kernel
+ (arch/arm/boot/Image). A compressed image can be built by doing a
+ 'make zImage' instead of 'make Image'.
+
+
+Bug reports etc
+---------------
+
+ Please send patches to the patch system. For more information, see
+ http://www.arm.linux.org.uk/patches/info.html Always include some
+ explanation as to what the patch does and why it is needed.
+
+ Bug reports should be sent to linux-arm-kernel@lists.arm.linux.org.uk,
+ or submitted through the web form at
+ http://www.arm.linux.org.uk/forms/solution.shtml
+
+ When sending bug reports, please ensure that they contain all relevant
+ information, eg. the kernel messages that were printed before/during
+ the problem, what you were doing, etc.
+
+
+Include files
+-------------
+
+ Several new include directories have been created under include/asm-arm,
+ which are there to reduce the clutter in the top-level directory. These
+ directories, and their purpose is listed below:
+
+ arch-* machine/platform specific header files
+ hardware driver-internal ARM specific data structures/definitions
+ mach descriptions of generic ARM to specific machine interfaces
+ proc-* processor dependent header files (currently only two
+ categories)
+
+
+Machine/Platform support
+------------------------
+
+ The ARM tree contains support for a lot of different machine types. To
+ continue supporting these differences, it has become necessary to split
+ machine-specific parts by directory. For this, the machine category is
+ used to select which directories and files get included (we will use
+ $(MACHINE) to refer to the category)
+
+ To this end, we now have arch/arm/mach-$(MACHINE) directories which are
+ designed to house the non-driver files for a particular machine (eg, PCI,
+ memory management, architecture definitions etc). For all future
+ machines, there should be a corresponding include/asm-arm/arch-$(MACHINE)
+ directory.
+
+
+Modules
+-------
+
+ Although modularisation is supported (and required for the FP emulator),
+ each module on an ARM2/ARM250/ARM3 machine when is loaded will take
+ memory up to the next 32k boundary due to the size of the pages.
+ Therefore, modularisation on these machines really worth it?
+
+ However, ARM6 and up machines allow modules to take multiples of 4k, and
+ as such Acorn RiscPCs and other architectures using these processors can
+ make good use of modularisation.
+
+
+ADFS Image files
+----------------
+
+ You can access image files on your ADFS partitions by mounting the ADFS
+ partition, and then using the loopback device driver. You must have
+ losetup installed.
+
+ Please note that the PCEmulator DOS partitions have a partition table at
+ the start, and as such, you will have to give '-o offset' to losetup.
+
+
+Request to developers
+---------------------
+
+ When writing device drivers which include a separate assembler file, please
+ include it in with the C file, and not the arch/arm/lib directory. This
+ allows the driver to be compiled as a loadable module without requiring
+ half the code to be compiled into the kernel image.
+
+ In general, try to avoid using assembler unless it is really necessary. It
+ makes drivers far less easy to port to other hardware.
+
+
+ST506 hard drives
+-----------------
+
+ The ST506 hard drive controllers seem to be working fine (if a little
+ slowly). At the moment they will only work off the controllers on an
+ A4x0's motherboard, but for it to work off a Podule just requires
+ someone with a podule to add the addresses for the IRQ mask and the
+ HDC base to the source.
+
+ As of 31/3/96 it works with two drives (you should get the ADFS
+ *configure harddrive set to 2). I've got an internal 20MB and a great
+ big external 5.25" FH 64MB drive (who could ever want more :-) ).
+
+ I've just got 240K/s off it (a dd with bs=128k); thats about half of what
+ RiscOS gets; but it's a heck of a lot better than the 50K/s I was getting
+ last week :-)
+
+ Known bug: Drive data errors can cause a hang; including cases where
+ the controller has fixed the error using ECC. (Possibly ONLY
+ in that case...hmm).
+
+
+1772 Floppy
+-----------
+ This also seems to work OK, but hasn't been stressed much lately. It
+ hasn't got any code for disc change detection in there at the moment which
+ could be a bit of a problem! Suggestions on the correct way to do this
+ are welcome.
+
+
+CONFIG_MACH_ and CONFIG_ARCH_
+-----------------------------
+ A change was made in 2003 to the macro names for new machines.
+ Historically, CONFIG_ARCH_ was used for the bonafide architecture,
+ e.g. SA1100, as well as implementations of the architecture,
+ e.g. Assabet. It was decided to change the implementation macros
+ to read CONFIG_MACH_ for clarity. Moreover, a retroactive fixup has
+ not been made because it would complicate patching.
+
+ Previous registrations may be found online.
+
+ <http://www.arm.linux.org.uk/developer/machines/>
+
+Kernel entry (head.S)
+--------------------------
+ The initial entry into the kernel is via head.S, which uses machine
+ independent code. The machine is selected by the value of 'r1' on
+ entry, which must be kept unique.
+
+ Due to the large number of machines which the ARM port of Linux provides
+ for, we have a method to manage this which ensures that we don't end up
+ duplicating large amounts of code.
+
+ We group machine (or platform) support code into machine classes. A
+ class typically based around one or more system on a chip devices, and
+ acts as a natural container around the actual implementations. These
+ classes are given directories - arch/arm/mach-<class> and
+ include/asm-arm/arch-<class> - which contain the source files to
+ support the machine class. This directories also contain any machine
+ specific supporting code.
+
+ For example, the SA1100 class is based upon the SA1100 and SA1110 SoC
+ devices, and contains the code to support the way the on-board and off-
+ board devices are used, or the device is setup, and provides that
+ machine specific "personality."
+
+ This fine-grained machine specific selection is controlled by the machine
+ type ID, which acts both as a run-time and a compile-time code selection
+ method.
+
+ You can register a new machine via the web site at:
+
+ <http://www.arm.linux.org.uk/developer/machines/>

+ADS Bitsy Single Board Computer
+(It is different from Bitsy(iPAQ) of Compaq)
+
+For more details, contact Applied Data Systems or see
+http://www.applieddata.net/products.html
+
+The Linux support for this product has been provided by
+Woojung Huh <whuh@applieddata.net>
+
+Use 'make adsbitsy_config' before any 'make config'.
+This will set up defaults for ADS Bitsy support.
+
+The kernel zImage is linked to be loaded and executed at 0xc0400000.
+
+Linux can be used with the ADS BootLoader that ships with the
+newer rev boards. See their documentation on how to load Linux.
+
+Supported peripherals:
+- SA1100 LCD frame buffer (8/16bpp...sort of)
+- SA1111 USB Master
+- SA1100 serial port
+- pcmcia, compact flash
+- touchscreen(ucb1200)
+- console on LCD screen
+- serial ports (ttyS[0-2])
+ - ttyS0 is default for serial console
+
+To do:
+- everything else! :-)
+
+Notes:
+
+- The flash on board is divided into 3 partitions.
+ You should be careful to use flash on board.
+ It's partition is different from GraphicsClient Plus and GraphicsMaster
+
+- 16bpp mode requires a different cable than what ships with the board.
+ Contact ADS or look through the manual to wire your own. Currently,
+ if you compile with 16bit mode support and switch into a lower bpp
+ mode, the timing is off so the image is corrupted. This will be

+The Intel Assabet (SA-1110 evaluation) board
+============================================
+
+Please see:
+http://developer.intel.com/design/strong/quicklist/eval-plat/sa-1110.htm
+http://developer.intel.com/design/strong/guides/278278.htm
+
+Also some notes from John G Dorsey <jd5q@andrew.cmu.edu>:
+http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~wearable/software/assabet.html
+
+
+Building the kernel
+-------------------
+
+To build the kernel with current defaults:
+
+ make assabet_config
+ make oldconfig
+ make zImage
+
+The resulting kernel image should be available in linux/arch/arm/boot/zImage.
+
+
+Installing a bootloader
+-----------------------
+
+A couple of bootloaders able to boot Linux on Assabet are available:
+
+BLOB (http://www.lart.tudelft.nl/lartware/blob/)
+
+ BLOB is a bootloader used within the LART project. Some contributed
+ patches were merged into BLOB to add support for Assabet.
+
+Compaq's Bootldr + John Dorsey's patch for Assabet support
+(http://www.handhelds.org/Compaq/bootldr.html)
+(http://www.wearablegroup.org/software/bootldr/)
+
+ Bootldr is the bootloader developed by Compaq for the iPAQ Pocket PC.
+ John Dorsey has produced add-on patches to add support for Assabet and
+ the JFFS filesystem.
+
+RedBoot (http://sources.redhat.com/redboot/)
+
+ RedBoot is a bootloader developed by Red Hat based on the eCos RTOS
+ hardware abstraction layer. It supports Assabet amongst many other
+ hardware platforms.
+
+RedBoot is currently the recommended choice since it's the only one to have
+networking support, and is the most actively maintained.
+
+Brief examples on how to boot Linux with RedBoot are shown below. But first
+you need to have RedBoot installed in your flash memory. A known to work
+precompiled RedBoot binary is available from the following location:
+
+ftp://ftp.netwinder.org/users/n/nico/
+ftp://ftp.arm.linux.org.uk/pub/linux/arm/people/nico/
+ftp://ftp.handhelds.org/pub/linux/arm/sa-1100-patches/
+
+Look for redboot-assabet*.tgz. Some installation infos are provided in
+redboot-assabet*.txt.
+
+
+Initial RedBoot configuration
+-----------------------------
+
+The commands used here are explained in The RedBoot User's Guide available
+on-line at http://sources.redhat.com/ecos/docs-latest/redboot/redboot.html.
+Please refer to it for explanations.
+
+If you have a CF network card (my Assabet kit contained a CF+ LP-E from
+Socket Communications Inc.), you should strongly consider using it for TFTP
+file transfers. You must insert it before RedBoot runs since it can't detect
+it dynamically.
+
+To initialize the flash directory:
+
+ fis init -f
+
+To initialize the non-volatile settings, like whether you want to use BOOTP or
+a static IP address, etc, use this command:
+
+ fconfig -i
+
+
+Writing a kernel image into flash
+---------------------------------
+
+First, the kernel image must be loaded into RAM. If you have the zImage file
+available on a TFTP server:
+
+ load zImage -r -b 0x100000
+
+If you rather want to use Y-Modem upload over the serial port:
+
+ load -m ymodem -r -b 0x100000
+
+To write it to flash:
+
+ fis create "Linux kernel" -b 0x100000 -l 0xc0000
+
+
+Booting the kernel
+------------------
+
+The kernel still requires a filesystem to boot. A ramdisk image can be loaded
+as follows:
+
+ load ramdisk_image.gz -r -b 0x800000
+
+Again, Y-Modem upload can be used instead of TFTP by replacing the file name
+by '-y ymodem'.
+
+Now the kernel can be retrieved from flash like this:
+
+ fis load "Linux kernel"
+
+or loaded as described previously. To boot the kernel:
+
+ exec -b 0x100000 -l 0xc0000
+
+The ramdisk image could be stored into flash as well, but there are better
+solutions for on-flash filesystems as mentioned below.
+
+
+Using JFFS2
+-----------
+
+Using JFFS2 (the Second Journalling Flash File System) is probably the most
+convenient way to store a writable filesystem into flash. JFFS2 is used in
+conjunction with the MTD layer which is responsible for low-level flash
+management. More information on the Linux MTD can be found on-line at:
+http://www.linux-mtd.infradead.org/. A JFFS howto with some infos about
+creating JFFS/JFFS2 images is available from the same site.
+
+For instance, a sample JFFS2 image can be retrieved from the same FTP sites
+mentioned below for the precompiled RedBoot image.
+
+To load this file:
+
+ load sample_img.jffs2 -r -b 0x100000
+
+The result should look like:
+
+RedBoot> load sample_img.jffs2 -r -b 0x100000
+Raw file loaded 0x00100000-0x00377424
+
+Now we must know the size of the unallocated flash:
+
+ fis free
+
+Result:
+
+RedBoot> fis free
+ 0x500E0000 .. 0x503C0000
+
+The values above may be different depending on the size of the filesystem and
+the type of flash. See their usage below as an example and take care of
+substituting yours appropriately.
+
+We must determine some values:
+
+size of unallocated flash: 0x503c0000 - 0x500e0000 = 0x2e0000
+size of the filesystem image: 0x00377424 - 0x00100000 = 0x277424
+
+We want to fit the filesystem image of course, but we also want to give it all
+the remaining flash space as well. To write it:
+
+ fis unlock -f 0x500E0000 -l 0x2e0000
+ fis erase -f 0x500E0000 -l 0x2e0000
+ fis write -b 0x100000 -l 0x277424 -f 0x500E0000
+ fis create "JFFS2" -n -f 0x500E0000 -l 0x2e0000
+
+Now the filesystem is associated to a MTD "partition" once Linux has discovered
+what they are in the boot process. From Redboot, the 'fis list' command
+displays them:
+
+RedBoot> fis list
+Name FLASH addr Mem addr Length Entry point
+RedBoot 0x50000000 0x50000000 0x00020000 0x00000000
+RedBoot config 0x503C0000 0x503C0000 0x00020000 0x00000000
+FIS directory 0x503E0000 0x503E0000 0x00020000 0x00000000
+Linux kernel 0x50020000 0x00100000 0x000C0000 0x00000000
+JFFS2 0x500E0000 0x500E0000 0x002E0000 0x00000000
+
+However Linux should display something like:
+
+SA1100 flash: probing 32-bit flash bus
+SA1100 flash: Found 2 x16 devices at 0x0 in 32-bit mode
+Using RedBoot partition definition
+Creating 5 MTD partitions on "SA1100 flash":
+0x00000000-0x00020000 : "RedBoot"
+0x00020000-0x000e0000 : "Linux kernel"
+0x000e0000-0x003c0000 : "JFFS2"
+0x003c0000-0x003e0000 : "RedBoot config"
+0x003e0000-0x00400000 : "FIS directory"
+
+What's important here is the position of the partition we are interested in,
+which is the third one. Within Linux, this correspond to /dev/mtdblock2.
+Therefore to boot Linux with the kernel and its root filesystem in flash, we
+need this RedBoot command:
+
+ fis load "Linux kernel"
+ exec -b 0x100000 -l 0xc0000 -c "root=/dev/mtdblock2"
+
+Of course other filesystems than JFFS might be used, like cramfs for example.
+You might want to boot with a root filesystem over NFS, etc. It is also
+possible, and sometimes more convenient, to flash a filesystem directly from
+within Linux while booted from a ramdisk or NFS. The Linux MTD repository has
+many tools to deal with flash memory as well, to erase it for example. JFFS2
+can then be mounted directly on a freshly erased partition and files can be
+copied over directly. Etc...
+
+
+RedBoot scripting
+-----------------
+
+All the commands above aren't so useful if they have to be typed in every
+time the Assabet is rebooted. Therefore it's possible to automatize the boot
+process using RedBoot's scripting capability.
+
+For example, I use this to boot Linux with both the kernel and the ramdisk
+images retrieved from a TFTP server on the network:
+
+RedBoot> fconfig
+Run script at boot: false true
+Boot script:
+Enter script, terminate with empty line
+>> load zImage -r -b 0x100000
+>> load ramdisk_ks.gz -r -b 0x800000
+>> exec -b 0x100000 -l 0xc0000
+>>
+Boot script timeout (1000ms resolution): 3
+Use BOOTP for network configuration: true
+GDB connection port: 9000
+Network debug at boot time: false
+Update RedBoot non-volatile configuration - are you sure (y/n)? y
+
+Then, rebooting the Assabet is just a matter of waiting for the login prompt.

+Brutus is an evaluation platform for the SA1100 manufactured by Intel.
+For more details, see:
+
+http://developer.intel.com/design/strong/applnots/sa1100lx/getstart.htm
+
+To compile for Brutus, you must issue the following commands:
+
+ make brutus_config
+ make config
+ [accept all the defaults]
+ make zImage
+
+The resulting kernel will end up in linux/arch/arm/boot/zImage. This file
+must be loaded at 0xc0008000 in Brutus's memory and execution started at
+0xc0008000 as well with the value of registers r0 = 0 and r1 = 16 upon
+entry.
+
+But prior to execute the kernel, a ramdisk image must also be loaded in
+memory. Use memory address 0xd8000000 for this. Note that the file
+containing the (compressed) ramdisk image must not exceed 4 MB.
+
+Typically, you'll need angelboot to load the kernel.
+The following angelboot.opt file should be used:
+
+----- begin angelboot.opt -----
+base 0xc0008000
+entry 0xc0008000
+r0 0x00000000
+r1 0x00000010
+device /dev/ttyS0
+options "9600 8N1"
+baud 115200
+otherfile ramdisk_img.gz
+otherbase 0xd8000000
+----- end angelboot.opt -----
+
+Then load the kernel and ramdisk with:
+
+ angelboot -f angelboot.opt zImage
+
+The first Brutus serial port (assumed to be linked to /dev/ttyS0 on your
+host PC) is used by angel to load the kernel and ramdisk image. The serial
+console is provided through the second Brutus serial port. To access it,
+you may use minicom configured with /dev/ttyS1, 9600 baud, 8N1, no flow
+control.
+
+Currently supported:
+ - RS232 serial ports
+ - audio output
+ - LCD screen
+ - keyboard
+
+The actual Brutus support may not be complete without extra patches.
+If such patches exist, they should be found from
+ftp.netwinder.org/users/n/nico.
+
+A full PCMCIA support is still missing, although it's possible to hack
+some drivers in order to drive already inserted cards at boot time with
+little modifications.
+
+Any contribution is welcome.
+
+Please send patches to nico@cam.org
+
+Have Fun !

+*** The StrongARM version of the CerfBoard/Cube has been discontinued ***
+
+The Intrinsyc CerfBoard is a StrongARM 1110-based computer on a board
+that measures approximately 2" square. It includes an Ethernet
+controller, an RS232-compatible serial port, a USB function port, and
+one CompactFlash+ slot on the back. Pictures can be found at the
+Intrinsyc website, http://www.intrinsyc.com.
+
+This document describes the support in the Linux kernel for the
+Intrinsyc CerfBoard.
+
+Supported in this version:
+ - CompactFlash+ slot (select PCMCIA in General Setup and any options
+ that may be required)
+ - Onboard Crystal CS8900 Ethernet controller (Cerf CS8900A support in
+ Network Devices)
+ - Serial ports with a serial console (hardcoded to 38400 8N1)
+
+In order to get this kernel onto your Cerf, you need a server that runs
+both BOOTP and TFTP. Detailed instructions should have come with your
+evaluation kit on how to use the bootloader. This series of commands
+will suffice:
+
+ make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux- cerfcube_defconfig
+ make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux- zImage
+ make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux- modules

+ADS GraphicsClient Plus Single Board Computer
+
+For more details, contact Applied Data Systems or see
+http://www.applieddata.net/products.html
+
+The original Linux support for this product has been provided by
+Nicolas Pitre <nico@cam.org>. Continued development work by
+Woojung Huh <whuh@applieddata.net>
+
+It's currently possible to mount a root filesystem via NFS providing a
+complete Linux environment. Otherwise a ramdisk image may be used. The
+board supports MTD/JFFS, so you could also mount something on there.
+
+Use 'make graphicsclient_config' before any 'make config'. This will set up
+defaults for GraphicsClient Plus support.
+
+The kernel zImage is linked to be loaded and executed at 0xc0200000.
+Also the following registers should have the specified values upon entry:
+
+ r0 = 0
+ r1 = 29 (this is the GraphicsClient architecture number)
+
+Linux can be used with the ADS BootLoader that ships with the
+newer rev boards. See their documentation on how to load Linux.
+Angel is not available for the GraphicsClient Plus AFAIK.
+
+There is a board known as just the GraphicsClient that ADS used to
+produce but has end of lifed. This code will not work on the older
+board with the ADS bootloader, but should still work with Angel,
+as outlined below. In any case, if you're planning on deploying
+something en masse, you should probably get the newer board.
+
+If using Angel on the older boards, here is a typical angel.opt option file
+if the kernel is loaded through the Angel Debug Monitor:
+
+----- begin angelboot.opt -----
+base 0xc0200000
+entry 0xc0200000
+r0 0x00000000
+r1 0x0000001d
+device /dev/ttyS1
+options "38400 8N1"
+baud 115200
+#otherfile ramdisk.gz
+#otherbase 0xc0800000
+exec minicom
+----- end angelboot.opt -----
+
+Then the kernel (and ramdisk if otherfile/otherbase lines above are
+uncommented) would be loaded with:
+
+ angelboot -f angelboot.opt zImage
+
+Here it is assumed that the board is connected to ttyS1 on your PC
+and that minicom is preconfigured with /dev/ttyS1, 38400 baud, 8N1, no flow
+control by default.
+
+If any other bootloader is used, ensure it accomplish the same, especially
+for r0/r1 register values before jumping into the kernel.
+
+

+
+Notes:
+
+- The flash on board is divided into 3 partitions. mtd0 is where
+ the ADS boot ROM and zImage is stored. It's been marked as
+ read-only to keep you from blasting over the bootloader. :) mtd1 is
+ for the ramdisk.gz image. mtd2 is user flash space and can be
+ utilized for either JFFS or if you're feeling crazy, running ext2
+ on top of it. If you're not using the ADS bootloader, you're
+ welcome to blast over the mtd1 partition also.
+
+- 16bpp mode requires a different cable than what ships with the board.
+ Contact ADS or look through the manual to wire your own. Currently,
+ if you compile with 16bit mode support and switch into a lower bpp
+ mode, the timing is off so the image is corrupted. This will be
+ fixed soon.

+Itsy is a research project done by the Western Research Lab, and Systems

+
+For more information, see:
+
+ http://www.research.digital.com/wrl/itsy/index.html
+
+Notes on initial 2.4 Itsy support (8/27/2000) :
+The port was done on an Itsy version 1.5 machine with a daughtercard with
+64 Meg of DRAM and 32 Meg of Flash. The initial work includes support for
+serial console (to see what you're doing). No other devices have been
+enabled.
+
+To build, do a "make menuconfig" (or xmenuconfig) and select Itsy support.
+Disable Flash and LCD support. and then do a make zImage.
+Finally, you will need to cd to arch/arm/boot/tools and execute a make there
+to build the params-itsy program used to boot the kernel.
+
+In order to install the port of 2.4 to the itsy, You will need to set the
+configuration parameters in the monitor as follows:
+Arg 1:0x08340000, Arg2: 0xC0000000, Arg3:18 (0x12), Arg4:0
+Make sure the start-routine address is set to 0x00060000.
+
+Next, flash the params-itsy program to 0x00060000 ("p 1 0x00060000" in the
+flash menu) Flash the kernel in arch/arm/boot/zImage into 0x08340000
+("p 1 0x00340000"). Finally flash an initial ramdisk into 0xC8000000
+("p 2 0x0") We used ramdisk-2-30.gz from the 0.11 version directory on
+handhelds.org.
+
+The serial connection we established was at:
+ 8-bit data, no parity, 1 stop bit(s), 115200.00 b/s. in the monitor, in the
+params-itsy program, and in the kernel itself. This can be changed, but
+not easily. The monitor parameters are easily changed, the params program
+setup is assembly outl's, and the kernel is a configuration item specific to
+the itsy. (i.e. grep for CONFIG_SA1100_ITSY and you'll find where it is.)
+
+
+This should get you a properly booting 2.4 kernel on the itsy.

+ S3C2410 GPIO Control
+ ====================
+
+Introduction
+------------
+
+ The s3c2410 kernel provides an interface to configure and
+ manipulate the state of the GPIO pins, and find out other
+ information about them.
+
+ There are a number of conditions attached to the configuration
+ of the s3c2410 GPIO system, please read the Samsung provided
+ data-sheet/users manual to find out the complete list.
+
+
+Headers
+-------
+
+ See include/asm-arm/arch-s3c2410/regs-gpio.h for the list
+ of GPIO pins, and the configuration values for them. This
+ is included by using #include <asm/arch/regs-gpio.h>
+
+ The GPIO management functions are defined in the hardware
+ header include/asm-arm/arch-s3c2410/hardware.h which can be
+ included by #include <asm/arch/hardware.h>
+
+ A useful ammount of documentation can be found in the hardware
+ header on how the GPIO functions (and others) work.
+
+ Whilst a number of these functions do make some checks on what
+ is passed to them, for speed of use, they may not always ensure
+ that the user supplied data to them is correct.
+
+
+PIN Numbers
+-----------
+
+ Each pin has an unique number associated with it in regs-gpio.h,
+ eg S3C2410_GPA0 or S3C2410_GPF1. These defines are used to tell
+ the GPIO functions which pin is to be used.
+
+
+Configuring a pin
+-----------------
+
+ The following function allows the configuration of a given pin to
+ be changed.
+
+ void s3c2410_gpio_cfgpin(unsigned int pin, unsigned int function);
+
+ Eg:
+
+ s3c2410_gpio_cfgpin(S3C2410_GPA0, S3C2410_GPA0_ADDR0);
+ s3c2410_gpio_cfgpin(S3C2410_GPE8, S3C2410_GPE8_SDDAT1);
+
+ which would turn GPA0 into the lowest Address line A0, and set
+ GPE8 to be connected to the SDIO/MMC controller's SDDAT1 line.
+
+
+Reading the current configuration
+---------------------------------
+
+ The current configuration of a pin can be read by using:
+
+ s3c2410_gpio_getcfg(unsigned int pin);
+
+ The return value will be from the same set of values which can be
+ passed to s3c2410_gpio_cfgpin().
+
+
+Configuring a pull-up resistor
+------------------------------
+
+ A large proportion of the GPIO pins on the S3C2410 can have weak
+ pull-up resistors enabled. This can be configured by the following
+ function:
+
+ void s3c2410_gpio_pullup(unsigned int pin, unsigned int to);
+
+ Where the to value is zero to set the pull-up off, and 1 to enable
+ the specified pull-up. Any other values are currently undefined.
+
+
+Getting the state of a PIN
+--------------------------
+
+ The state of a pin can be read by using the function:
+
+ unsigned int s3c2410_gpio_getpin(unsigned int pin);
+
+ This will return either zero or non-zero. Do not count on this
+ function returning 1 if the pin is set.
+
+
+Setting the state of a PIN
+--------------------------
+
+ The value an pin is outputing can be modified by using the following:
+
+ void s3c2410_gpio_setpin(unsigned int pin, unsigned int to);
+
+ Which sets the given pin to the value. Use 0 to write 0, and 1 to
+ set the output to 1.
+
+
+Getting the IRQ number associated with a PIN
+--------------------------------------------
+
+ The following function can map the given pin number to an IRQ
+ number to pass to the IRQ system.
+
+ int s3c2410_gpio_getirq(unsigned int pin);
+
+ Note, not all pins have an IRQ.

+ S3C24XX ARM Linux Overview
+ ==========================
+
+
+
+Introduction
+------------
+
+ The Samsung S3C24XX range of ARM9 System-on-Chip CPUs are supported
+ by the 's3c2410' architecture of ARM Linux. Currently the S3C2410 and
+ the S3C2440 are supported CPUs.
+
+
+Configuration
+-------------
+
+ A generic S3C2410 configuration is provided, and can be used as the
+ default by `make s3c2410_defconfig`. This configuration has support
+ for all the machines, and the commonly used features on them.
+
+ Certain machines may have their own default configurations as well,
+ please check the machine specific documentation.
+
+
+Machines
+--------
+
+ The currently supported machines are as follows:
+
+ Simtec Electronics EB2410ITX (BAST)
+
+ A general purpose development board, see EB2410ITX.txt for further
+ details
+
+ Samsung SMDK2410
+
+ Samsung's own development board, geared for PDA work.

+ S3C2440 based IPAQ, with a number of variations depending on
+ features shipped.
+
+ Acer N30
+
+ A S3C2410 based PDA from Acer. There is a Wiki page at
+ http://handhelds.org/moin/moin.cgi/AcerN30Documentation .
+
+
+Adding New Machines
+-------------------
+
+ The archicture has been designed to support as many machines as can
+ be configured for it in one kernel build, and any future additions
+ should keep this in mind before altering items outside of their own
+ machine files.
+
+ Machine definitions should be kept in linux/arch/arm/mach-s3c2410,
+ and there are a number of examples that can be looked at.
+
+ Read the kernel patch submission policies as well as the
+ Documentation/arm directory before submitting patches. The
+ ARM kernel series is managed by Russell King, and has a patch system
+ located at http://www.arm.linux.org.uk/developer/patches/
+ as well as mailing lists that can be found from the same site.
+
+ As a courtesy, please notify <ben-linux@fluff.org> of any new
+ machines or other modifications.
+
+ Any large scale modifications, or new drivers should be discussed
+ on the ARM kernel mailing list (linux-arm-kernel) before being
+ attempted.
+
+
+NAND
+----
+
+ The current kernels now have support for the s3c2410 NAND
+ controller. If there are any problems the latest linux-mtd
+ CVS can be found from http://www.linux-mtd.infradead.org/
+
+
+Serial
+------
+
+ The s3c2410 serial driver provides support for the internal
+ serial ports. These devices appear as /dev/ttySAC0 through 3.
+
+ To create device nodes for these, use the following commands
+
+ mknod ttySAC0 c 204 64
+ mknod ttySAC1 c 204 65
+ mknod ttySAC2 c 204 66
+
+
+GPIO
+----
+
+ The core contains support for manipulating the GPIO, see the
+ documentation in GPIO.txt in the same directory as this file.
+
+
+Clock Management
+----------------
+
+ The core provides the interface defined in the header file
+ include/asm-arm/hardware/clock.h, to allow control over the
+ various clock units

+ S3C24XX Suspend Support
+ =======================
+
+
+Introduction
+------------
+
+ The S3C2410 supports a low-power suspend mode, where the SDRAM is kept
+ in Self-Refresh mode, and all but the essential peripheral blocks are
+ powered down. For more information on how this works, please look
+ at the S3C2410 datasheets from Samsung.
+
+
+Requirements
+------------
+
+ 1) A bootloader that can support the necessary resume operation
+
+ 2) Support for at least 1 source for resume
+
+ 3) CONFIG_PM enabled in the kernel
+
+ 4) Any peripherals that are going to be powered down at the same
+ time require suspend/resume support.
+
+
+Resuming
+--------
+
+ The S3C2410 user manual defines the process of sending the CPU to
+ sleep and how it resumes. The default behaviour of the Linux code
+ is to set the GSTATUS3 register to the physical address of the
+ code to resume Linux operation.
+
+ GSTATUS4 is currently left alone by the sleep code, and is free to
+ use for any other purposes (for example, the EB2410ITX uses this to
+ save memory configuration in).
+
+
+Machine Support
+---------------
+
+ The machine specific functions must call the s3c2410_pm_init() function
+ to say that its bootloader is capable of resuming. This can be as
+ simple as adding the following to the machine's definition:
+
+ INITMACHINE(s3c2410_pm_init)
+
+ A board can do its own setup before calling s3c2410_pm_init, if it
+ needs to setup anything else for power management support.
+
+ There is currently no support for over-riding the default method of
+ saving the resume address, if your board requires it, then contact
+ the maintainer and discuss what is required.
+
+ Note, the original method of adding an late_initcall() is wrong,
+ and will end up initialising all compiled machines' pm init!
+
+
+Debugging
+---------
+
+ There are several important things to remember when using PM suspend:
+
+ 1) The uart drivers will disable the clocks to the UART blocks when
+ suspending, which means that use of printascii() or similar direct
+ access to the UARTs will cause the debug to stop.
+
+ 2) Whilst the pm code itself will attempt to re-enable the UART clocks,
+ care should be taken that any external clock sources that the UARTs
+ rely on are still enabled at that point.
+
+
+Configuration
+-------------
+
+ The S3C2410 specific configuration in `System Type` defines various
+ aspects of how the S3C2410 suspend and resume support is configured
+
+ `S3C2410 PM Suspend debug`
+
+ This option prints messages to the serial console before and after
+ the actual suspend, giving detailed information on what is
+ happening
+
+
+ `S3C2410 PM Suspend Memory CRC`
+
+ Allows the entire memory to be checksummed before and after the
+ suspend to see if there has been any corruption of the contents.
+
+ This support requires the CRC32 function to be enabled.
+
+
+ `S3C2410 PM Suspend CRC Chunksize (KiB)`
+
+ Defines the size of memory each CRC chunk covers. A smaller value
+ will mean that the CRC data block will take more memory, but will
+ identify any faults with better precision

+Kernel initialisation parameters on ARM Linux
+---------------------------------------------
+
+The following document describes the kernel initialisation parameter
+structure, otherwise known as 'struct param_struct' which is used
+for most ARM Linux architectures.
+
+This structure is used to pass initialisation parameters from the
+kernel loader to the Linux kernel proper, and may be short lived
+through the kernel initialisation process. As a general rule, it
+should not be referenced outside of arch/arm/kernel/setup.c:setup_arch().
+
+There are a lot of parameters listed in there, and they are described
+below:
+
+ page_size
+
+ This parameter must be set to the page size of the machine, and
+ will be checked by the kernel.
+
+ nr_pages
+
+ This is the total number of pages of memory in the system. If
+ the memory is banked, then this should contain the total number
+ of pages in the system.
+
+ If the system contains separate VRAM, this value should not
+ include this information.
+
+ ramdisk_size
+
+ This is now obsolete, and should not be used.
+
+ flags
+
+ Various kernel flags, including:
+ bit 0 - 1 = mount root read only
+ bit 1 - unused
+ bit 2 - 0 = load ramdisk
+ bit 3 - 0 = prompt for ramdisk
+
+ rootdev
+
+ major/minor number pair of device to mount as the root filesystem.
+
+ video_num_cols
+ video_num_rows
+
+ These two together describe the character size of the dummy console,
+ or VGA console character size. They should not be used for any other
+ purpose.
+
+ It's generally a good idea to set these to be either standard VGA, or
+ the equivalent character size of your fbcon display. This then allows
+ all the bootup messages to be displayed correctly.
+
+ video_x
+ video_y
+
+ This describes the character position of cursor on VGA console, and
+ is otherwise unused. (should not used for other console types, and
+ should not be used for other purposes).
+
+ memc_control_reg
+
+ MEMC chip control register for Acorn Archimedes and Acorn A5000
+ based machines. May be used differently by different architectures.
+
+ sounddefault
+
+ Default sound setting on Acorn machines. May be used differently by
+ different architectures.
+
+ adfsdrives
+
+ Number of ADFS/MFM disks. May be used differently by different
+ architectures.
+
+ bytes_per_char_h
+ bytes_per_char_v
+
+ These are now obsolete, and should not be used.
+
+ pages_in_bank[4]
+
+ Number of pages in each bank of the systems memory (used for RiscPC).
+ This is intended to be used on systems where the physical memory
+ is non-contiguous from the processors point of view.
+
+ pages_in_vram
+
+ Number of pages in VRAM (used on Acorn RiscPC). This value may also
+ be used by loaders if the size of the video RAM can't be obtained
+ from the hardware.
+
+ initrd_start
+ initrd_size
+
+ This describes the kernel virtual start address and size of the
+ initial ramdisk.
+
+ rd_start
+
+ Start address in sectors of the ramdisk image on a floppy disk.
+
+ system_rev
+
+ system revision number.
+
+ system_serial_low
+ system_serial_high
+
+ system 64-bit serial number
+
+ mem_fclk_21285
+
+ The speed of the external oscillator to the 21285 (footbridge),
+ which control's the speed of the memory bus, timer & serial port.
+ Depending upon the speed of the cpu its value can be between
+ 0-66 MHz. If no params are passed or a value of zero is passed,
+ then a value of 50 Mhz is the default on 21285 architectures.
+
+ paths[8][128]
+
+ These are now obsolete, and should not be used.
+
+ commandline
+
+ Kernel command line parameters. Details can be found elsewhere.

+README on the Compact Flash for Card Engines
+============================================
+
+There are three challenges in supporting the CF interface of the Card
+Engines. First, every IO operation must be followed with IO to
+another memory region. Second, the slot is wired for one-to-one
+address mapping *and* it is wired for 16 bit access only. Second, the
+interrupt request line from the CF device isn't wired.
+
+The IOBARRIER issue is covered in README.IOBARRIER. This isn't an
+onerous problem. Enough said here.
+
+The addressing issue is solved in the
+arch/arm/mach-lh7a40x/ide-lpd7a40x.c file with some awkward
+work-arounds. We implement a special SELECT_DRIVE routine that is
+called before the IDE driver performs its own SELECT_DRIVE. Our code
+recognizes that the SELECT register cannot be modified without also
+writing a command. It send an IDLE_IMMEDIATE command on selecting a
+drive. The function also prevents drive select to the slave drive
+since there can be only one. The awkward part is that the IDE driver,
+even though we have a select procedure, also attempts to change the
+drive by writing directly the SELECT register. This attempt is
+explicitly blocked by the OUTB function--not pretty, but effective.
+
+The lack of interrupts is a more serious problem. Even though the CF

+README on the IOBARRIER for CardEngine IO
+=========================================
+
+Due to an unfortunate oversight when the Card Engines were designed,
+the signals that control access to some peripherals, most notably the
+SMC91C9111 ethernet controller, are not properly handled.
+
+The symptom is that some back to back IO with the peripheral returns
+unreliable data. With the SMC chip, you'll see errors about the bank
+register being 'screwed'.
+
+The cause is that the AEN signal to the SMC chip does not transition
+for every memory access. It is driven through the CPLD from the CS7
+line of the CPU's static memory controller which is optimized to
+eliminate unnecessary transitions. Yet, the SMC requires a transition
+for every write access. The Sharp website has more information about
+the effect this power-conserving feature has on peripheral
+interfacing.
+
+The solution is to follow every write access to the SMC chip with an
+access to another memory region that will force the CPU to release the
+chip select line. It is important to guarantee that this access
+forces the CPU off-chip. We map a page of SDRAM as if it were an
+uncacheable IO device and read from it after every SMC IO write
+operation.
+
+ SMC IO
+ BARRIER IO
+
+Only this sequence is important. It does not matter that there is no
+BARRIER IO before the access to the SMC chip because the AEN latch
+only needs occurs after the SMC IO write cycle. The routines that
+implement this work-around make an additional concession which is to
+disable interrupts during the IO sequence. Other hardware devices
+(the LogicPD CPLD) have registers in the same the physical memory
+region as the SMC chip. An interrupt might allow an access to one of
+those registers while SMC IO is being performed.
+
+You might be tempted to think that we have to access another device
+attached to the static memory controller, but the empirical evidence
+indicates that this is not so. Mapping 0x00000000 (flash) and
+0xc0000000 (SDRAM) appear to have the same effect. Using SDRAM seems
+to be faster. Choosing to access an undecoded memory region is not
+desirable as there is no way to know how that chip select will be used
+in the future.

+README on the SDRAM Controller for the LH7a40X
+==============================================
+
+The standard configuration for the SDRAM controller generates a sparse
+memory array. The precise layout is determined by the SDRAM chips. A
+default kernel configuration assembles the discontiguous memory
+regions into separate memory nodes via the NUMA (Non-Uniform Memory
+Architecture) facilities. In this default configuration, the kernel
+is forgiving about the precise layout. As long as it is given an
+accurate picture of available memory by the bootloader the kernel will
+execute correctly.
+
+The SDRC supports a mode where some of the chip select lines are
+swapped in order to make SDRAM look like a synchronous ROM. Setting
+this bit means that the RAM will present as a contiguous array. Some
+programmers prefer this to the discontiguous layout. Be aware that
+may be a penalty for this feature where some some configurations of
+memory are significantly reduced; i.e. 64MiB of RAM appears as only 32
+MiB.
+
+There are a couple of configuration options to override the default
+behavior. When the SROMLL bit is set and memory appears as a
+contiguous array, there is no reason to support NUMA.
+CONFIG_LH7A40X_CONTIGMEM disables NUMA support. When physical memory
+is discontiguous, the memory tables are organized such that there are
+two banks per nodes with a small gap between them. This layout wastes
+some kernel memory for page tables representing non-existent memory.
+CONFIG_LH7A40X_ONE_BANK_PER_NODE optimizes the node tables such that
+there are no gaps. These options control the low level organization
+of the memory management tables in ways that may prevent the kernel
+from booting or may cause the kernel to allocated excessively large
+page tables. Be warned. Only change these options if you know what
+you are doing. The default behavior is a reasonable compromise that
+will suit all users.
+
+--
+
+A typical 32MiB system with the default configuration options will
+find physical memory managed as follows.
+
+ node 0: 0xc0000000 4MiB
+ 0xc1000000 4MiB
+ node 1: 0xc4000000 4MiB
+ 0xc5000000 4MiB

+ 0xc9000000 4MiB
+ node 3: 0xcc000000 4MiB
+ 0xcd000000 4MiB
+
+Setting CONFIG_LH7A40X_ONE_BANK_PER_NODE will put each bank into a
+separate node.

+README on the Vectored Interrupt Controller of the LH7A404
+==========================================================
+
+The 404 revision of the LH7A40X series comes with two vectored
+interrupts controllers. While the kernel does use some of the
+features of these devices, it is far from the purpose for which they
+were designed.
+
+When this README was written, the implementation of the VICs was in
+flux. It is possible that some details, especially with priorities,
+will change.
+
+The VIC support code is inspired by routines written by Sharp.
+
+
+Priority Control
+----------------
+
+The significant reason for using the VIC's vectoring is to control
+interrupt priorities. There are two tables in
+arch/arm/mach-lh7a40x/irq-lh7a404.c that look something like this.
+
+ static unsigned char irq_pri_vic1[] = { IRQ_GPIO3INTR, };
+ static unsigned char irq_pri_vic2[] = {
+ IRQ_T3UI, IRQ_GPIO7INTR,
+ IRQ_UART1INTR, IRQ_UART2INTR, IRQ_UART3INTR, };
+
+The initialization code reads these tables and inserts a vector
+address and enable for each indicated IRQ. Vectored interrupts have
+higher priority than non-vectored interrupts. So, on VIC1,
+IRQ_GPIO3INTR will be served before any other non-FIQ interrupt. Due
+to the way that the vectoring works, IRQ_T3UI is the next highest
+priority followed by the other vectored interrupts on VIC2. After
+that, the non-vectored interrupts are scanned in VIC1 then in VIC2.
+
+
+ISR
+---
+
+The interrupt service routine macro get_irqnr() in
+arch/arm/kernel/entry-armv.S scans the VICs for the next active
+interrupt. The vectoring makes this code somewhat larger than it was
+before using vectoring (refer to the LH7A400 implementation). In the
+case where an interrupt is vectored, the implementation will tend to
+be faster than the non-vectored version. However, the worst-case path
+is longer.
+
+It is worth noting that at present, there is no need to read
+VIC2_VECTADDR because the register appears to be shared between the
+controllers. The code is written such that if this changes, it ought
+to still work properly.
+
+
+Vector Addresses
+----------------
+
+The proper use of the vectoring hardware would jump to the ISR
+specified by the vectoring address. Linux isn't structured to take
+advantage of this feature, though it might be possible to change
+things to support it.
+
+In this implementation, the vectoring address is used to speed the
+search for the active IRQ. The address is coded such that the lowest
+6 bits store the IRQ number for vectored interrupts. These numbers
+correspond to the bits in the interrupt status registers. IRQ zero is
+the lowest interrupt bit in VIC1. IRQ 32 is the lowest interrupt bit
+in VIC2. Because zero is a valid IRQ number and because we cannot
+detect whether or not there is a valid vectoring address if that
+address is zero, the eigth bit (0x100) is set for vectored interrupts.
+The address for IRQ 0x18 (VIC2) is 0x118. Only the ninth bit is set
+for the default handler on VIC1 and only the tenth bit is set for the
+default handler on VIC2.
+
+In other words.
+
+ 0x000 - no active interrupt
+ 0x1ii - vectored interrupt 0xii
+ 0x2xx - unvectored interrupt on VIC1 (xx is don't care)
+ 0x4xx - unvectored interrupt on VIC2 (xx is don't care)

+Release notes for Linux Kernel VFP support code
+-----------------------------------------------
+
+Date: 20 May 2004
+Author: Russell King
+
+This is the first release of the Linux Kernel VFP support code. It
+provides support for the exceptions bounced from VFP hardware found
+on ARM926EJ-S.
+
+This release has been validated against the SoftFloat-2b library by
+John R. Hauser using the TestFloat-2a test suite. Details of this
+library and test suite can be found at:
+
+ http://www.cs.berkeley.edu/~jhauser/arithmetic/SoftFloat.html
+
+The operations which have been tested with this package are:
+
+ - fdiv
+ - fsub
+ - fadd
+ - fmul
+ - fcmp
+ - fcmpe
+ - fcvtd
+ - fcvts
+ - fsito
+ - ftosi
+ - fsqrt
+
+All the above pass softfloat tests with the following exceptions:
+
+- fadd/fsub shows some differences in the handling of +0 / -0 results
+ when input operands differ in signs.
+- the handling of underflow exceptions is slightly different. If a
+ result underflows before rounding, but becomes a normalised number
+ after rounding, we do not signal an underflow exception.
+
+Other operations which have been tested by basic assembly-only tests
+are:
+
+ - fcpy
+ - fabs
+ - fneg
+ - ftoui
+ - ftosiz
+ - ftouiz
+
+The combination operations have not been tested:
+
+ - fmac
+ - fnmac
+ - fmsc
+ - fnmsc
+ - fnmul

+Too many problems poped up because of unnoticed misaligned memory access in
+kernel code lately. Therefore the alignment fixup is now unconditionally
+configured in for SA11x0 based targets. According to Alan Cox, this is a
+bad idea to configure it out, but Russell King has some good reasons for
+doing so on some f***ed up ARM architectures like the EBSA110. However
+this is not the case on many design I'm aware of, like all SA11x0 based
+ones.
+
+Of course this is a bad idea to rely on the alignment trap to perform
+unaligned memory access in general. If those access are predictable, you
+are better to use the macros provided by include/asm/unaligned.h. The
+alignment trap can fixup misaligned access for the exception cases, but at
+a high performance cost. It better be rare.
+
+Now for user space applications, it is possible to configure the alignment
+trap to SIGBUS any code performing unaligned access (good for debugging bad
+code), or even fixup the access by software like for kernel code. The later
+mode isn't recommended for performance reasons (just think about the
+floating point emulation that works about the same way). Fix your code
+instead!
+
+Please note that randomly changing the behaviour without good thought is
+real bad - it changes the behaviour of all unaligned instructions in user
+space, and might cause programs to fail unexpectedly.
+
+To change the alignment trap behavior, simply echo a number into
+/proc/sys/debug/alignment. The number is made up from various bits:
+
+bit behavior when set
+--- -----------------
+
+0 A user process performing an unaligned memory access
+ will cause the kernel to print a message indicating
+ process name, pid, pc, instruction, address, and the
+ fault code.
+
+1 The kernel will attempt to fix up the user process
+ performing the unaligned access. This is of course
+ slow (think about the floating point emulator) and
+ not recommended for production use.
+
+2 The kernel will send a SIGBUS signal to the user process
+ performing the unaligned access.
+
+Note that not all combinations are supported - only values 0 through 5.
+(6 and 7 don't make sense).
+
+For example, the following will turn on the warnings, but without
+fixing up or sending SIGBUS signals:
+
+ echo 1 > /proc/sys/debug/alignment
+
+You can also read the content of the same file to get statistical
+information on unaligned access occurrences plus the current mode of
+operation for user space code.

+ Kernel Memory Layout on ARM Linux
+
+ Russell King <rmk@arm.linux.org.uk>
+ May 21, 2004 (2.6.6)
+
+This document describes the virtual memory layout which the Linux
+kernel uses for ARM processors. It indicates which regions are
+free for platforms to use, and which are used by generic code.
+
+The ARM CPU is capable of addressing a maximum of 4GB virtual memory
+space, and this must be shared between user space processes, the
+kernel, and hardware devices.
+
+As the ARM architecture matures, it becomes necessary to reserve
+certain regions of VM space for use for new facilities; therefore
+this document may reserve more VM space over time.
+
+Start End Use
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------
+ffff8000 ffffffff copy_user_page / clear_user_page use.
+ For SA11xx and Xscale, this is used to
+ setup a minicache mapping.
+
+ffff1000 ffff7fff Reserved.
+ Platforms must not use this address range.
+
+ffff0000 ffff0fff CPU vector page.
+ The CPU vectors are mapped here if the
+ CPU supports vector relocation (control
+ register V bit.)
+
+ffc00000 fffeffff DMA memory mapping region. Memory returned
+ by the dma_alloc_xxx functions will be
+ dynamically mapped here.
+
+ff000000 ffbfffff Reserved for future expansion of DMA
+ mapping region.
+
+VMALLOC_END feffffff Free for platform use, recommended.
+
+VMALLOC_START VMALLOC_END-1 vmalloc() / ioremap() space.
+ Memory returned by vmalloc/ioremap will
+ be dynamically placed in this region.
+ VMALLOC_START may be based upon the value
+ of the high_memory variable.
+
+PAGE_OFFSET high_memory-1 Kernel direct-mapped RAM region.
+ This maps the platforms RAM, and typically
+ maps all platform RAM in a 1:1 relationship.
+
+TASK_SIZE PAGE_OFFSET-1 Kernel module space
+ Kernel modules inserted via insmod are
+ placed here using dynamic mappings.
+
+00001000 TASK_SIZE-1 User space mappings
+ Per-thread mappings are placed here via
+ the mmap() system call.
+
+00000000 00000fff CPU vector page / null pointer trap
+ CPUs which do not support vector remapping
+ place their vector page here. NULL pointer
+ dereferences by both the kernel and user
+ space are also caught via this mapping.
+
+Please note that mappings which collide with the above areas may result
+in a non-bootable kernel, or may cause the kernel to (eventually) panic
+at run time.
+
+Since future CPUs may impact the kernel mapping layout, user programs
+must not access any memory which is not mapped inside their 0x0001000
+to TASK_SIZE address range. If they wish to access these areas, they
+must set up their own mappings using open() and mmap().

+There seems to be a problem with exp(double) and our emulator. I haven't
+been able to track it down yet. This does not occur with the emulator
+supplied by Russell King.
+
+I also found one oddity in the emulator. I don't think it is serious but
+will point it out. The ARM calling conventions require floating point
+registers f4-f7 to be preserved over a function call. The compiler quite
+often uses an stfe instruction to save f4 on the stack upon entry to a
+function, and an ldfe instruction to restore it before returning.
+
+I was looking at some code, that calculated a double result, stored it in f4
+then made a function call. Upon return from the function call the number in
+f4 had been converted to an extended value in the emulator.
+
+This is a side effect of the stfe instruction. The double in f4 had to be
+converted to extended, then stored. If an lfm/sfm combination had been used,
+then no conversion would occur. This has performance considerations. The
+result from the function call and f4 were used in a multiplication. If the
+emulator sees a multiply of a double and extended, it promotes the double to
+extended, then does the multiply in extended precision.
+
+This code will cause this problem:
+
+double x, y, z;
+z = log(x)/log(y);
+
+The result of log(x) (a double) will be calculated, returned in f0, then
+moved to f4 to preserve it over the log(y) call. The division will be done
+in extended precision, due to the stfe instruction used to save f4 in log(y).

+This directory contains the version 0.92 test release of the NetWinder
+Floating Point Emulator.
+
+The majority of the code was written by me, Scott Bambrough It is
+written in C, with a small number of routines in inline assembler
+where required. It was written quickly, with a goal of implementing a
+working version of all the floating point instructions the compiler
+emits as the first target. I have attempted to be as optimal as
+possible, but there remains much room for improvement.
+
+I have attempted to make the emulator as portable as possible. One of
+the problems is with leading underscores on kernel symbols. Elf
+kernels have no leading underscores, a.out compiled kernels do. I
+have attempted to use the C_SYMBOL_NAME macro wherever this may be
+important.
+
+Another choice I made was in the file structure. I have attempted to
+contain all operating system specific code in one module (fpmodule.*).
+All the other files contain emulator specific code. This should allow
+others to port the emulator to NetBSD for instance relatively easily.
+
+The floating point operations are based on SoftFloat Release 2, by
+John Hauser. SoftFloat is a software implementation of floating-point
+that conforms to the IEC/IEEE Standard for Binary Floating-point
+Arithmetic. As many as four formats are supported: single precision,
+double precision, extended double precision, and quadruple precision.
+All operations required by the standard are implemented, except for
+conversions to and from decimal. We use only the single precision,
+double precision and extended double precision formats. The port of
+SoftFloat to the ARM was done by Phil Blundell, based on an earlier
+port of SoftFloat version 1 by Neil Carson for NetBSD/arm32.
+
+The file README.FPE contains a description of what has been implemented
+so far in the emulator. The file TODO contains a information on what
+remains to be done, and other ideas for the emulator.
+
+Bug reports, comments, suggestions should be directed to me at
+<scottb@netwinder.org>. General reports of "this program doesn't
+work correctly when your emulator is installed" are useful for
+determining that bugs still exist; but are virtually useless when
+attempting to isolate the problem. Please report them, but don't
+expect quick action. Bugs still exist. The problem remains in isolating
+which instruction contains the bug. Small programs illustrating a specific
+problem are a godsend.

+The following describes the current state of the NetWinder's floating point
+emulator.
+
+In the following nomenclature is used to describe the floating point
+instructions. It follows the conventions in the ARM manual.
+
+<S|D|E> = <single|double|extended>, no default
+{P|M|Z} = {round to +infinity,round to -infinity,round to zero},
+ default = round to nearest
+
+Note: items enclosed in {} are optional.
+
+Floating Point Coprocessor Data Transfer Instructions (CPDT)
+------------------------------------------------------------
+
+LDF/STF - load and store floating
+
+<LDF|STF>{cond}<S|D|E> Fd, Rn
+<LDF|STF>{cond}<S|D|E> Fd, [Rn, #<expression>]{!}
+<LDF|STF>{cond}<S|D|E> Fd, [Rn], #<expression>
+
+These instructions are fully implemented.
+
+LFM/SFM - load and store multiple floating
+
+Form 1 syntax:
+<LFM|SFM>{cond}<S|D|E> Fd, <count>, [Rn]
+<LFM|SFM>{cond}<S|D|E> Fd, <count>, [Rn, #<expression>]{!}
+<LFM|SFM>{cond}<S|D|E> Fd, <count>, [Rn], #<expression>
+
+Form 2 syntax:
+<LFM|SFM>{cond}<FD,EA> Fd, <count>, [Rn]{!}
+
+These instructions are fully implemented. They store/load three words
+for each floating point register into the memory location given in the
+instruction. The format in memory is unlikely to be compatible with
+other implementations, in particular the actual hardware. Specific
+mention of this is made in the ARM manuals.
+
+Floating Point Coprocessor Register Transfer Instructions (CPRT)
+----------------------------------------------------------------
+
+Conversions, read/write status/control register instructions
+
+FLT{cond}<S,D,E>{P,M,Z} Fn, Rd Convert integer to floating point
+FIX{cond}{P,M,Z} Rd, Fn Convert floating point to integer
+WFS{cond} Rd Write floating point status register
+RFS{cond} Rd Read floating point status register
+WFC{cond} Rd Write floating point control register
+RFC{cond} Rd Read floating point control register
+
+FLT/FIX are fully implemented.
+
+RFS/WFS are fully implemented.
+
+RFC/WFC are fully implemented. RFC/WFC are supervisor only instructions, and
+presently check the CPU mode, and do an invalid instruction trap if not called
+from supervisor mode.
+
+Compare instructions
+
+CMF{cond} Fn, Fm Compare floating
+CMFE{cond} Fn, Fm Compare floating with exception
+CNF{cond} Fn, Fm Compare negated floating
+CNFE{cond} Fn, Fm Compare negated floating with exception
+
+These are fully implemented.
+
+Floating Point Coprocessor Data Instructions (CPDT)
+---------------------------------------------------
+
+Dyadic operations:
+
+ADF{cond}<S|D|E>{P,M,Z} Fd, Fn, <Fm,#value> - add
+SUF{cond}<S|D|E>{P,M,Z} Fd, Fn, <Fm,#value> - subtract
+RSF{cond}<S|D|E>{P,M,Z} Fd, Fn, <Fm,#value> - reverse subtract
+MUF{cond}<S|D|E>{P,M,Z} Fd, Fn, <Fm,#value> - multiply
+DVF{cond}<S|D|E>{P,M,Z} Fd, Fn, <Fm,#value> - divide
+RDV{cond}<S|D|E>{P,M,Z} Fd, Fn, <Fm,#value> - reverse divide
+
+These are fully implemented.
+
+FML{cond}<S|D|E>{P,M,Z} Fd, Fn, <Fm,#value> - fast multiply
+FDV{cond}<S|D|E>{P,M,Z} Fd, Fn, <Fm,#value> - fast divide
+FRD{cond}<S|D|E>{P,M,Z} Fd, Fn, <Fm,#value> - fast reverse divide
+
+These are fully implemented as well. They use the same algorithm as the
+non-fast versions. Hence, in this implementation their performance is
+equivalent to the MUF/DVF/RDV instructions. This is acceptable according
+to the ARM manual. The manual notes these are defined only for single
+operands, on the actual FPA11 hardware they do not work for double or
+extended precision operands. The emulator currently does not check
+the requested permissions conditions, and performs the requested operation.
+
+RMF{cond}<S|D|E>{P,M,Z} Fd, Fn, <Fm,#value> - IEEE remainder
+
+This is fully implemented.
+
+Monadic operations:
+
+MVF{cond}<S|D|E>{P,M,Z} Fd, <Fm,#value> - move
+MNF{cond}<S|D|E>{P,M,Z} Fd, <Fm,#value> - move negated
+
+These are fully implemented.
+
+ABS{cond}<S|D|E>{P,M,Z} Fd, <Fm,#value> - absolute value
+SQT{cond}<S|D|E>{P,M,Z} Fd, <Fm,#value> - square root
+RND{cond}<S|D|E>{P,M,Z} Fd, <Fm,#value> - round
+
+These are fully implemented.
+
+URD{cond}<S|D|E>{P,M,Z} Fd, <Fm,#value> - unnormalized round
+NRM{cond}<S|D|E>{P,M,Z} Fd, <Fm,#value> - normalize
+
+These are implemented. URD is implemented using the same code as the RND
+instruction. Since URD cannot return a unnormalized number, NRM becomes
+a NOP.
+
+Library calls:
+
+POW{cond}<S|D|E>{P,M,Z} Fd, Fn, <Fm,#value> - power
+RPW{cond}<S|D|E>{P,M,Z} Fd, Fn, <Fm,#value> - reverse power
+POL{cond}<S|D|E>{P,M,Z} Fd, Fn, <Fm,#value> - polar angle (arctan2)
+
+LOG{cond}<S|D|E>{P,M,Z} Fd, <Fm,#value> - logarithm to base 10
+LGN{cond}<S|D|E>{P,M,Z} Fd, <Fm,#value> - logarithm to base e
+EXP{cond}<S|D|E>{P,M,Z} Fd, <Fm,#value> - exponent
+SIN{cond}<S|D|E>{P,M,Z} Fd, <Fm,#value> - sine
+COS{cond}<S|D|E>{P,M,Z} Fd, <Fm,#value> - cosine
+TAN{cond}<S|D|E>{P,M,Z} Fd, <Fm,#value> - tangent
+ASN{cond}<S|D|E>{P,M,Z} Fd, <Fm,#value> - arcsine
+ACS{cond}<S|D|E>{P,M,Z} Fd, <Fm,#value> - arccosine
+ATN{cond}<S|D|E>{P,M,Z} Fd, <Fm,#value> - arctangent
+
+These are not implemented. They are not currently issued by the compiler,
+and are handled by routines in libc. These are not implemented by the FPA11
+hardware, but are handled by the floating point support code. They should
+be implemented in future versions.
+
+Signalling:
+
+Signals are implemented. However current ELF kernels produced by Rebel.com
+have a bug in them that prevents the module from generating a SIGFPE. This
+is caused by a failure to alias fp_current to the kernel variable
+current_set[0] correctly.
+
+The kernel provided with this distribution (vmlinux-nwfpe-0.93) contains
+a fix for this problem and also incorporates the current version of the
+emulator directly. It is possible to run with no floating point module
+loaded with this kernel. It is provided as a demonstration of the
+technology and for those who want to do floating point work that depends
+on signals. It is not strictly necessary to use the module.
+
+A module (either the one provided by Russell King, or the one in this
+distribution) can be loaded to replace the functionality of the emulator
+built into the kernel.

+
+These are not implemented. They are not currently issued by the compiler,
+and are handled by routines in libc. These are not implemented by the FPA11
+hardware, but are handled by the floating point support code. They should
+be implemented in future versions.
+
+There are a couple of ways to approach the implementation of these. One
+method would be to use accurate table methods for these routines. I have
+a couple of papers by S. Gal from IBM's research labs in Haifa, Israel that
+seem to promise extreme accuracy (in the order of 99.8%) and reasonable speed.
+These methods are used in GLIBC for some of the transcendental functions.
+
+Another approach, which I know little about is CORDIC. This stands for
+Coordinate Rotation Digital Computer, and is a method of computing
+transcendental functions using mostly shifts and adds and a few
+multiplications and divisions. The ARM excels at shifts and adds,
+so such a method could be promising, but requires more research to
+determine if it is feasible.
+
+Rounding Methods
+
+The IEEE standard defines 4 rounding modes. Round to nearest is the
+default, but rounding to + or - infinity or round to zero are also allowed.
+Many architectures allow the rounding mode to be specified by modifying bits
+in a control register. Not so with the ARM FPA11 architecture. To change
+the rounding mode one must specify it with each instruction.
+
+This has made porting some benchmarks difficult. It is possible to
+introduce such a capability into the emulator. The FPCR contains
+bits describing the rounding mode. The emulator could be altered to
+examine a flag, which if set forced it to ignore the rounding mode in
+the instruction, and use the mode specified in the bits in the FPCR.
+
+This would require a method of getting/setting the flag, and the bits
+in the FPCR. This requires a kernel call in ArmLinux, as WFC/RFC are
+supervisor only instructions. If anyone has any ideas or comments I
+would like to hear them.
+
+[NOTE: pulled out from some docs on ARM floating point, specifically
+ for the Acorn FPE, but not limited to it:
+
+ The floating point control register (FPCR) may only be present in some
+ implementations: it is there to control the hardware in an implementation-
+ specific manner, for example to disable the floating point system. The user
+ mode of the ARM is not permitted to use this register (since the right is
+ reserved to alter it between implementations) and the WFC and RFC
+ instructions will trap if tried in user mode.
+
+ Hence, the answer is yes, you could do this, but then you will run a high
+ risk of becoming isolated if and when hardware FP emulation comes out
+ -- Russell].
