Scheduler and RCU
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-RCU depends on the scheduler, and the scheduler uses RCU to protect some
-of its data structures. The preemptible-RCU ``rcu_read_unlock()``
-implementation must therefore be written carefully to avoid deadlocks
-involving the scheduler's runqueue and priority-inheritance locks. In
-particular, ``rcu_read_unlock()`` must tolerate an interrupt where the
-interrupt handler invokes both ``rcu_read_lock()`` and
-``rcu_read_unlock()``. This possibility requires ``rcu_read_unlock()``
-to use negative nesting levels to avoid destructive recursion via
-interrupt handler's use of RCU.
-
-This scheduler-RCU requirement came as a `complete
-surprise <https://lwn.net/Articles/453002/>`__.

+RCU makes use of kthreads, and it is necessary to avoid excessive CPU-time
+accumulation by these kthreads. This requirement was no surprise, but
+RCU's violation of it when running context-switch-heavy workloads when
+built with ``CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL=y`` `did come as a surprise
[PDF] <http://www.rdrop.com/users/paulmck/scalability/paper/BareMetal.2015.01.15b.pdf>`__.
RCU has made good progress towards meeting this requirement, even for
context-switch-heavy ``CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL=y`` workloads, but there is
room for further improvement.
-It is forbidden to hold any of scheduler's runqueue or
-priority-inheritance spinlocks across an ``rcu_read_unlock()`` unless
-interrupts have been disabled across the entire RCU read-side critical
-section, that is, up to and including the matching ``rcu_read_lock()``.
-Violating this restriction can result in deadlocks involving these
-scheduler spinlocks. There was hope that this restriction might be
-lifted when interrupt-disabled calls to ``rcu_read_unlock()`` started
-deferring the reporting of the resulting RCU-preempt quiescent state
-until the end of the corresponding interrupts-disabled region.
-Unfortunately, timely reporting of the corresponding quiescent state to
-expedited grace periods requires a call to ``raise_softirq()``, which
-can acquire these scheduler spinlocks. In addition, real-time systems
-using RCU priority boosting need this restriction to remain in effect
-because deferred quiescent-state reporting would also defer deboosting,
-which in turn would degrade real-time latencies.
-
-In theory, if a given RCU read-side critical section could be guaranteed
-to be less than one second in duration, holding a scheduler spinlock
-across that critical section's ``rcu_read_unlock()`` would require only
-that preemption be disabled across the entire RCU read-side critical
-section, not interrupts. Unfortunately, given the possibility of vCPU
-preemption, long-running interrupts, and so on, it is not possible in
-practice to guarantee that a given RCU read-side critical section will
-complete in less than one second. Therefore, as noted above, if
-scheduler spinlocks are held across a given call to
-``rcu_read_unlock()``, interrupts must be disabled across the entire RCU
-read-side critical section.
+There is no longer any prohibition against holding any of
+scheduler's runqueue or priority-inheritance spinlocks across an
+``rcu_read_unlock()``, even if interrupts and preemption were enabled
+somewhere within the corresponding RCU read-side critical section.
+Therefore, it is now perfectly legal to execute ``rcu_read_lock()``
+with preemption enabled, acquire one of the scheduler locks, and hold
+that lock across the matching ``rcu_read_unlock()``.
+
+Similarly, the RCU flavor consolidation has removed the need for negative
+nesting. The fact that interrupt-disabled regions of code act as RCU
+read-side critical sections implicitly avoids earlier issues that used
+to result in destructive recursion via interrupt handler's use of RCU.

+Intel(R) Speed Select Technology User Guide
+============================================================
+
+The Intel(R) Speed Select Technology (Intel(R) SST) provides a powerful new
+collection of features that give more granular control over CPU performance.
+With Intel(R) SST, one server can be configured for power and performance for a
+variety of diverse workload requirements.
+
+Refer to the links below for an overview of the technology:
+
+- https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/architecture-and-technology/speed-select-technology-article.html
+- https://builders.intel.com/docs/networkbuilders/intel-speed-select-technology-base-frequency-enhancing-performance.pdf
+
+These capabilities are further enhanced in some of the newer generations of
+server platforms where these features can be enumerated and controlled
+dynamically without pre-configuring via BIOS setup options. This dynamic
+configuration is done via mailbox commands to the hardware. One way to enumerate
+and configure these features is by using the Intel Speed Select utility.
+
+This document explains how to use the Intel Speed Select tool to enumerate and
+control Intel(R) SST features. This document gives example commands and explains
+how these commands change the power and performance profile of the system under
+test. Using this tool as an example, customers can replicate the messaging
+implemented in the tool in their production software.
+
+intel-speed-select configuration tool
+======================================
+
+Most Linux distribution packages may include the "intel-speed-select" tool. If not,
+it can be built by downloading the Linux kernel tree from kernel.org. Once
+downloaded, the tool can be built without building the full kernel.
+
+From the kernel tree, run the following commands::
+
+# cd tools/power/x86/intel-speed-select/
+# make
+# make install
+
+Getting Help
+------------
+
+To get help with the tool, execute the command below::
+
+# intel-speed-select --help
+
+The top-level help describes arguments and features. Notice that there is a
+multi-level help structure in the tool. For example, to get help for the feature "perf-profile"::
+
+# intel-speed-select perf-profile --help
+
+To get help on a command, another level of help is provided. For example for the command info "info"::
+
+# intel-speed-select perf-profile info --help
+
+Summary of platform capability

+Intel(R) Speed Select Technology - Performance Profile (Intel(R) SST-PP)
+------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+This feature allows configuration of a server dynamically based on workload
+performance requirements. This helps users during deployment as they do not have
+to choose a specific server configuration statically. This Intel(R) Speed Select
+Technology - Performance Profile (Intel(R) SST-PP) feature introduces a mechanism
+that allows multiple optimized performance profiles per system. Each profile
+defines a set of CPUs that need to be online and rest offline to sustain a
+guaranteed base frequency. Once the user issues a command to use a specific
+performance profile and meet CPU online/offline requirement, the user can expect
+a change in the base frequency dynamically. This feature is called
+"perf-profile" when using the Intel Speed Select tool.
+
+Number or performance levels
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+There can be multiple performance profiles on a system. To get the number of
+profiles, execute the command below::
+
+ # intel-speed-select perf-profile get-config-levels
+ Intel(R) Speed Select Technology
+ Executing on CPU model: X
+ package-0
+ die-0
+ cpu-0
+ get-config-levels:4
+ package-1
+ die-0
+ cpu-14
+ get-config-levels:4
+
+On this system under test, there are 4 performance profiles in addition to the
+base performance profile (which is performance level 0).
+
+Lock/Unlock status
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Even if there are multiple performance profiles, it is possible that that they
+are locked. If they are locked, users cannot issue a command to change the
+performance state. It is possible that there is a BIOS setup to unlock or check
+with your system vendor.
+
+To check if the system is locked, execute the following command::
+
+ # intel-speed-select perf-profile get-lock-status
+ Intel(R) Speed Select Technology
+ Executing on CPU model: X
+ package-0
+ die-0
+ cpu-0
+ get-lock-status:0
+ package-1
+ die-0
+ cpu-14
+ get-lock-status:0
+
+In this case, lock status is 0, which means that the system is unlocked.
+
+Properties of a performance level
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+To get properties of a specific performance level (For example for the level 0, below), execute the command below::
+
+ # intel-speed-select perf-profile info -l 0
+ Intel(R) Speed Select Technology
+ Executing on CPU model: X
+ package-0
+ die-0
+ cpu-0
+ perf-profile-level-0
+ cpu-count:28
+ enable-cpu-mask:000003ff,f0003fff

+ thermal-design-power-ratio:26
+ base-frequency(MHz):2600
+ speed-select-turbo-freq:disabled
+ speed-select-base-freq:disabled
+ ...
+ ...
+
+Here -l option is used to specify a performance level.
+
+If the option -l is omitted, then this command will print information about all
+the performance levels. The above command is printing properties of the
+performance level 0.
+
+For this performance profile, the list of CPUs displayed by the
+"enable-cpu-mask/enable-cpu-list" at the max can be "online." When that
+condition is met, then base frequency of 2600 MHz can be maintained. To
+understand more, execute "intel-speed-select perf-profile info" for performance
+level 4::

+ # intel-speed-select perf-profile info -l 4

+ speed-select-base-freq:unsupported
+ ...
+ ...
+
+There are fewer CPUs in the "enable-cpu-mask/enable-cpu-list". Consequently, if
+the user only keeps these CPUs online and the rest "offline," then the base
+frequency is increased to 2.8 GHz compared to 2.6 GHz at performance level 0.
+
+Get current performance level
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+To get the current performance level, execute::
+
+ # intel-speed-select perf-profile get-config-current-level
+ Intel(R) Speed Select Technology
+ Executing on CPU model: X
+ package-0
+ die-0
+ cpu-0
+ get-config-current_level:0
+
+First verify that the base_frequency displayed by the cpufreq sysfs is correct::
+
+ # cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/base_frequency
+ 2600000
+
+This matches the base-frequency (MHz) field value displayed from the
+"perf-profile info" command for performance level 0(cpufreq frequency is in
+KHz).
+
+To check if the average frequency is equal to the base frequency for a 100% busy
+workload, disable turbo::
+
+# echo 1 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/intel_pstate/no_turbo
+
+Then runs a busy workload on all CPUs, for example::
+
+#stress -c 64
+
+To verify the base frequency, run turbostat::
+
+ #turbostat -c 0-13 --show Package,Core,CPU,Bzy_MHz -i 1
+
+ Package Core CPU Bzy_MHz
+ - - 2600
+ 0 0 0 2600
+ 0 1 1 2600
+ 0 2 2 2600
+ 0 3 3 2600
+ 0 4 4 2600
+ . . . .
+
+
+Changing performance level
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+To the change the performance level to 4, execute::
+
+ # intel-speed-select -d perf-profile set-config-level -l 4 -o
+ Intel(R) Speed Select Technology
+ Executing on CPU model: X
+ package-0
+ die-0
+ cpu-0
+ perf-profile
+ set_tdp_level:success
+
+In the command above, "-o" is optional. If it is specified, then it will also
+offline CPUs which are not present in the enable_cpu_mask for this performance
+level.
+
+Now if the base_frequency is checked::
+
+ #cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/base_frequency
+ 2800000
+
+Which shows that the base frequency now increased from 2600 MHz at performance
+level 0 to 2800 MHz at performance level 4. As a result, any workload, which can
+use fewer CPUs, can see a boost of 200 MHz compared to performance level 0.
+
+Check presence of other Intel(R) SST features
+---------------------------------------------
+
+Each of the performance profiles also specifies weather there is support of
+other two Intel(R) SST features (Intel(R) Speed Select Technology - Base Frequency
+(Intel(R) SST-BF) and Intel(R) Speed Select Technology - Turbo Frequency (Intel
+SST-TF)).
+
+For example, from the output of "perf-profile info" above, for level 0 and level
+4:
+
+For level 0::
+ speed-select-turbo-freq:disabled
+ speed-select-base-freq:disabled
+
+For level 4::
+ speed-select-turbo-freq:disabled
+ speed-select-base-freq:unsupported
+
+Given these results, the "speed-select-base-freq" (Intel(R) SST-BF) in level 4
+changed from "disabled" to "unsupported" compared to performance level 0.
+
+This means that at performance level 4, the "speed-select-base-freq" feature is
+not supported. However, at performance level 0, this feature is "supported", but
+currently "disabled", meaning the user has not activated this feature. Whereas
+"speed-select-turbo-freq" (Intel(R) SST-TF) is supported at both performance
+levels, but currently not activated by the user.
+
+The Intel(R) SST-BF and the Intel(R) SST-TF features are built on a foundation
+technology called Intel(R) Speed Select Technology - Core Power (Intel(R) SST-CP).
+The platform firmware enables this feature when Intel(R) SST-BF or Intel(R) SST-TF
+is supported on a platform.
+
+Intel(R) Speed Select Technology Core Power (Intel(R) SST-CP)
+---------------------------------------------------------------
+
+Intel(R) Speed Select Technology Core Power (Intel(R) SST-CP) is an interface that
+allows users to define per core priority. This defines a mechanism to distribute
+power among cores when there is a power constrained scenario. This defines a
+class of service (CLOS) configuration.
+
+The user can configure up to 4 class of service configurations. Each CLOS group
+configuration allows definitions of parameters, which affects how the frequency
+can be limited and power is distributed. Each CPU core can be tied to a class of
+service and hence an associated priority. The granularity is at core level not
+at per CPU level.
+
+Enable CLOS based prioritization
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+To use CLOS based prioritization feature, firmware must be informed to enable
+and use a priority type. There is a default per platform priority type, which
+can be changed with optional command line parameter.
+
+To enable and check the options, execute::
+
+ # intel-speed-select core-power enable --help
+ Intel(R) Speed Select Technology
+ Executing on CPU model: X
+ Enable core-power for a package/die
+ Clos Enable: Specify priority type with [--priority|-p]
+ 0: Proportional, 1: Ordered
+
+There are two types of priority types:
+
+- Ordered
+
+Priority for ordered throttling is defined based on the index of the assigned
+CLOS group. Where CLOS0 gets highest priority (throttled last).
+
+Priority order is:
+CLOS0 > CLOS1 > CLOS2 > CLOS3.
+
+- Proportional
+
+When proportional priority is used, there is an additional parameter called
+frequency_weight, which can be specified per CLOS group. The goal of
+proportional priority is to provide each core with the requested min., then
+distribute all remaining (excess/deficit) budgets in proportion to a defined
+weight. This proportional priority can be configured using "core-power config"
+command.
+
+To enable with the platform default priority type, execute::
+
+ # intel-speed-select core-power enable
+ Intel(R) Speed Select Technology
+ Executing on CPU model: X
+ package-0
+ die-0
+ cpu-0
+ core-power
+ enable:success
+ package-1
+ die-0
+ cpu-6
+ core-power
+ enable:success
+
+The scope of this enable is per package or die scoped when a package contains
+multiple dies. To check if CLOS is enabled and get priority type, "core-power
+info" command can be used. For example to check the status of core-power feature
+on CPU 0, execute::
+
+ # intel-speed-select -c 0 core-power info
+ Intel(R) Speed Select Technology
+ Executing on CPU model: X
+ package-0
+ die-0
+ cpu-0
+ core-power
+ support-status:supported
+ enable-status:enabled
+ clos-enable-status:enabled
+ priority-type:proportional
+ package-1
+ die-0
+ cpu-24
+ core-power
+ support-status:supported
+ enable-status:enabled
+ clos-enable-status:enabled
+ priority-type:proportional
+
+Configuring CLOS groups
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Each CLOS group has its own attributes including min, max, freq_weight and
+desired. These parameters can be configured with "core-power config" command.
+Defaults will be used if user skips setting a parameter except clos id, which is
+mandatory. To check core-power config options, execute::
+
+ # intel-speed-select core-power config --help
+ Intel(R) Speed Select Technology
+ Executing on CPU model: X
+ Set core-power configuration for one of the four clos ids
+ Specify targeted clos id with [--clos|-c]
+ Specify clos Proportional Priority [--weight|-w]
+ Specify clos min in MHz with [--min|-n]
+ Specify clos max in MHz with [--max|-m]
+
+For example::
+
+ # intel-speed-select core-power config -c 0
+ Intel(R) Speed Select Technology
+ Executing on CPU model: X
+ clos epp is not specified, default: 0
+ clos frequency weight is not specified, default: 0
+ clos min is not specified, default: 0 MHz
+ clos max is not specified, default: 25500 MHz
+ clos desired is not specified, default: 0
+ package-0
+ die-0
+ cpu-0
+ core-power
+ config:success
+ package-1
+ die-0
+ cpu-6
+ core-power
+ config:success
+
+The user has the option to change defaults. For example, the user can change the
+"min" and set the base frequency to always get guaranteed base frequency.
+
+Get the current CLOS configuration
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+To check the current configuration, "core-power get-config" can be used. For
+example, to get the configuration of CLOS 0::
+
+ # intel-speed-select core-power get-config -c 0
+ Intel(R) Speed Select Technology
+ Executing on CPU model: X
+ package-0
+ die-0
+ cpu-0
+ core-power
+ clos:0
+ epp:0
+ clos-proportional-priority:0
+ clos-min:0 MHz
+ clos-max:Max Turbo frequency
+ clos-desired:0 MHz
+ package-1
+ die-0
+ cpu-24
+ core-power
+ clos:0
+ epp:0
+ clos-proportional-priority:0
+ clos-min:0 MHz
+ clos-max:Max Turbo frequency
+ clos-desired:0 MHz
+
+Associating a CPU with a CLOS group
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+To associate a CPU to a CLOS group "core-power assoc" command can be used::
+
+ # intel-speed-select core-power assoc --help
+ Intel(R) Speed Select Technology
+ Executing on CPU model: X
+ Associate a clos id to a CPU
+ Specify targeted clos id with [--clos|-c]
+
+
+For example to associate CPU 10 to CLOS group 3, execute::
+
+ # intel-speed-select -c 10 core-power assoc -c 3
+ Intel(R) Speed Select Technology
+ Executing on CPU model: X
+ package-0
+ die-0
+ cpu-10
+ core-power
+ assoc:success
+
+Once a CPU is associated, its sibling CPUs are also associated to a CLOS group.
+Once associated, avoid changing Linux "cpufreq" subsystem scaling frequency
+limits.
+
+To check the existing association for a CPU, "core-power get-assoc" command can
+be used. For example, to get association of CPU 10, execute::
+
+ # intel-speed-select -c 10 core-power get-assoc
+ Intel(R) Speed Select Technology
+ Executing on CPU model: X
+ package-1
+ die-0
+ cpu-10
+ get-assoc
+ clos:3
+
+This shows that CPU 10 is part of a CLOS group 3.
+
+
+Disable CLOS based prioritization
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+To disable, execute::
+
+# intel-speed-select core-power disable
+
+Some features like Intel(R) SST-TF can only be enabled when CLOS based prioritization
+is enabled. For this reason, disabling while Intel(R) SST-TF is enabled can cause
+Intel(R) SST-TF to fail. This will cause the "disable" command to display an error
+if Intel(R) SST-TF is already enabled. In turn, to disable, the Intel(R) SST-TF
+feature must be disabled first.
+
+Intel(R) Speed Select Technology - Base Frequency (Intel(R) SST-BF)
+-------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+The Intel(R) Speed Select Technology - Base Frequency (Intel(R) SST-BF) feature lets
+the user control base frequency. If some critical workload threads demand
+constant high guaranteed performance, then this feature can be used to execute
+the thread at higher base frequency on specific sets of CPUs (high priority
+CPUs) at the cost of lower base frequency (low priority CPUs) on other CPUs.
+This feature does not require offline of the low priority CPUs.
+
+The support of Intel(R) SST-BF depends on the Intel(R) Speed Select Technology -
+Performance Profile (Intel(R) SST-PP) performance level configuration. It is
+possible that only certain performance levels support Intel(R) SST-BF. It is also
+possible that only base performance level (level = 0) has support of Intel
+SST-BF. Consequently, first select the desired performance level to enable this
+feature.
+
+In the system under test here, Intel(R) SST-BF is supported at the base
+performance level 0, but currently disabled. For example for the level 0::
+
+ # intel-speed-select -c 0 perf-profile info -l 0
+ Intel(R) Speed Select Technology
+ Executing on CPU model: X
+ package-0
+ die-0
+ cpu-0
+ perf-profile-level-0
+ ...
+
+ speed-select-base-freq:disabled
+ ...
+
+Before enabling Intel(R) SST-BF and measuring its impact on a workload
+performance, execute some workload and measure performance and get a baseline
+performance to compare against.
+
+Here the user wants more guaranteed performance. For this reason, it is likely
+that turbo is disabled. To disable turbo, execute::
+
+#echo 1 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/intel_pstate/no_turbo
+
+Based on the output of the "intel-speed-select perf-profile info -l 0" base
+frequency of guaranteed frequency 2600 MHz.
+
+
+Measure baseline performance for comparison
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+To compare, pick a multi-threaded workload where each thread can be scheduled on
+separate CPUs. "Hackbench pipe" test is a good example on how to improve
+performance using Intel(R) SST-BF.
+
+Below, the workload is measuring average scheduler wakeup latency, so a lower
+number means better performance::
+
+ # taskset -c 3,4 perf bench -r 100 sched pipe
+ # Running 'sched/pipe' benchmark:
+ # Executed 1000000 pipe operations between two processes
+ Total time: 6.102 [sec]
+ 6.102445 usecs/op
+ 163868 ops/sec
+
+While running the above test, if we take turbostat output, it will show us that
+2 of the CPUs are busy and reaching max. frequency (which would be the base
+frequency as the turbo is disabled). The turbostat output::
+
+ #turbostat -c 0-13 --show Package,Core,CPU,Bzy_MHz -i 1
+ Package Core CPU Bzy_MHz
+ 0 0 0 1000
+ 0 1 1 1005
+ 0 2 2 1000
+ 0 3 3 2600
+ 0 4 4 2600
+ 0 5 5 1000
+ 0 6 6 1000
+ 0 7 7 1005
+ 0 8 8 1005
+ 0 9 9 1000
+ 0 10 10 1000
+ 0 11 11 995
+ 0 12 12 1000
+ 0 13 13 1000
+
+From the above turbostat output, both CPU 3 and 4 are very busy and reaching
+full guaranteed frequency of 2600 MHz.
+
+Intel(R) SST-BF Capabilities
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+To get capabilities of Intel(R) SST-BF for the current performance level 0,
+execute::
+
+ # intel-speed-select base-freq info -l 0
+ Intel(R) Speed Select Technology
+ Executing on CPU model: X
+ package-0
+ die-0
+ cpu-0
+ speed-select-base-freq
+ high-priority-base-frequency(MHz):3000
+ high-priority-cpu-mask:00000216,00002160
+ high-priority-cpu-list:5,6,8,13,33,34,36,41
+ low-priority-base-frequency(MHz):2400
+ tjunction-temperature(C):125
+ thermal-design-power(W):205
+
+The above capabilities show that there are some CPUs on this system that can
+offer base frequency of 3000 MHz compared to the standard base frequency at this
+performance levels. Nevertheless, these CPUs are fixed, and they are presented
+via high-priority-cpu-list/high-priority-cpu-mask. But if this Intel(R) SST-BF
+feature is selected, the low priorities CPUs (which are not in
+high-priority-cpu-list) can only offer up to 2400 MHz. As a result, if this
+clipping of low priority CPUs is acceptable, then the user can enable Intel
+SST-BF feature particularly for the above "sched pipe" workload since only two
+CPUs are used, they can be scheduled on high priority CPUs and can get boost of
+400 MHz.
+
+Enable Intel(R) SST-BF
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+To enable Intel(R) SST-BF feature, execute::
+
+ # intel-speed-select base-freq enable -a
+ Intel(R) Speed Select Technology
+ Executing on CPU model: X
+ package-0
+ die-0
+ cpu-0
+ base-freq
+ enable:success
+ package-1
+ die-0
+ cpu-14
+ base-freq
+ enable:success
+
+In this case, -a option is optional. This not only enables Intel(R) SST-BF, but it
+also adjusts the priority of cores using Intel(R) Speed Select Technology Core
+Power (Intel(R) SST-CP) features. This option sets the minimum performance of each
+Intel(R) Speed Select Technology - Performance Profile (Intel(R) SST-PP) class to
+maximum performance so that the hardware will give maximum performance possible
+for each CPU.
+
+If -a option is not used, then the following steps are required before enabling
+Intel(R) SST-BF:
+
+- Discover Intel(R) SST-BF and note low and high priority base frequency
+- Note the high prioity CPU list
+- Enable CLOS using core-power feature set
+- Configure CLOS parameters. Use CLOS.min to set to minimum performance
+- Subscribe desired CPUs to CLOS groups
+
+With this configuration, if the same workload is executed by pinning the
+workload to high priority CPUs (CPU 5 and 6 in this case)::
+
+ #taskset -c 5,6 perf bench -r 100 sched pipe
+ # Running 'sched/pipe' benchmark:
+ # Executed 1000000 pipe operations between two processes
+ Total time: 5.627 [sec]
+ 5.627922 usecs/op
+ 177685 ops/sec
+
+This way, by enabling Intel(R) SST-BF, the performance of this benchmark is
+improved (latency reduced) by 7.79%. From the turbostat output, it can be
+observed that the high priority CPUs reached 3000 MHz compared to 2600 MHz.
+The turbostat output::
+
+ #turbostat -c 0-13 --show Package,Core,CPU,Bzy_MHz -i 1
+ Package Core CPU Bzy_MHz
+ 0 0 0 2151
+ 0 1 1 2166

+ 0 11 11 2176
+ 0 12 12 2176
+ 0 13 13 2661
+
+Disable Intel(R) SST-BF
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+To disable the Intel(R) SST-BF feature, execute::
+
+# intel-speed-select base-freq disable -a
+
+
+Intel(R) Speed Select Technology - Turbo Frequency (Intel(R) SST-TF)
+--------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+This feature enables the ability to set different "All core turbo ratio limits"
+to cores based on the priority. By using this feature, some cores can be
+configured to get higher turbo frequency by designating them as high priority at
+the cost of lower or no turbo frequency on the low priority cores.
+
+For this reason, this feature is only useful when system is busy utilizing all
+CPUs, but the user wants some configurable option to get high performance on
+some CPUs.
+
+The support of Intel(R) Speed Select Technology - Turbo Frequency (Intel(R) SST-TF)
+depends on the Intel(R) Speed Select Technology - Performance Profile (Intel
+SST-PP) performance level configuration. It is possible that only a certain
+performance level supports Intel(R) SST-TF. It is also possible that only the base
+performance level (level = 0) has the support of Intel(R) SST-TF. Hence, first
+select the desired performance level to enable this feature.
+
+In the system under test here, Intel(R) SST-TF is supported at the base
+performance level 0, but currently disabled::
+
+ # intel-speed-select -c 0 perf-profile info -l 0
+ Intel(R) Speed Select Technology
+ package-0
+ die-0
+ cpu-0
+ perf-profile-level-0
+ ...
+ ...
+ speed-select-turbo-freq:disabled
+ ...
+ ...
+
+
+To check if performance can be improved using Intel(R) SST-TF feature, get the turbo
+frequency properties with Intel(R) SST-TF enabled and compare to the base turbo
+capability of this system.
+
+Get Base turbo capability
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+To get the base turbo capability of performance level 0, execute::
+
+ # intel-speed-select perf-profile info -l 0
+ Intel(R) Speed Select Technology
+ Executing on CPU model: X
+ package-0
+ die-0
+ cpu-0
+ perf-profile-level-0
+ ...
+ ...

+ bucket-6
+ core-count:14
+ max-turbo-frequency(MHz):3100
+ bucket-7
+ core-count:16
+ max-turbo-frequency(MHz):3100
+
+Based on the data above, when all the CPUS are busy, the max. frequency of 3100
+MHz can be achieved. If there is some busy workload on cpu 0 - 11 (e.g. stress)
+and on CPU 12 and 13, execute "hackbench pipe" workload::
+
+ # taskset -c 12,13 perf bench -r 100 sched pipe
+ # Running 'sched/pipe' benchmark:
+ # Executed 1000000 pipe operations between two processes
+ Total time: 5.705 [sec]
+ 5.705488 usecs/op
+ 175269 ops/sec
+
+The turbostat output::
+
+ #turbostat -c 0-13 --show Package,Core,CPU,Bzy_MHz -i 1
+ Package Core CPU Bzy_MHz
+ 0 0 0 3000
+ 0 1 1 3000
+ 0 2 2 3000
+ 0 3 3 3000
+ 0 4 4 3000
+ 0 5 5 3100
+ 0 6 6 3100
+ 0 7 7 3000
+ 0 8 8 3100
+ 0 9 9 3000
+ 0 10 10 3000
+ 0 11 11 3000
+ 0 12 12 3100
+ 0 13 13 3100
+
+Based on turbostat output, the performance is limited by frequency cap of 3100
+MHz. To check if the hackbench performance can be improved for CPU 12 and CPU
+13, first check the capability of the Intel(R) SST-TF feature for this performance
+level.
+
+Get Intel(R) SST-TF Capability
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+To get the capability, the "turbo-freq info" command can be used::
+
+ # intel-speed-select turbo-freq info -l 0
+ Intel(R) Speed Select Technology
+ Executing on CPU model: X
+ package-0
+ die-0
+ cpu-0
+ speed-select-turbo-freq
+ bucket-0
+ high-priority-cores-count:2
+ high-priority-max-frequency(MHz):3200
+ high-priority-max-avx2-frequency(MHz):3200
+ high-priority-max-avx512-frequency(MHz):3100
+ bucket-1
+ high-priority-cores-count:4
+ high-priority-max-frequency(MHz):3100
+ high-priority-max-avx2-frequency(MHz):3000
+ high-priority-max-avx512-frequency(MHz):2900
+ bucket-2
+ high-priority-cores-count:6
+ high-priority-max-frequency(MHz):3100
+ high-priority-max-avx2-frequency(MHz):3000
+ high-priority-max-avx512-frequency(MHz):2900
+ speed-select-turbo-freq-clip-frequencies
+ low-priority-max-frequency(MHz):2600
+ low-priority-max-avx2-frequency(MHz):2400
+ low-priority-max-avx512-frequency(MHz):2100
+
+Based on the output above, there is an Intel(R) SST-TF bucket for which there are
+two high priority cores. If only two high priority cores are set, then max.
+turbo frequency on those cores can be increased to 3200 MHz. This is 100 MHz
+more than the base turbo capability for all cores.
+
+In turn, for the hackbench workload, two CPUs can be set as high priority and
+rest as low priority. One side effect is that once enabled, the low priority
+cores will be clipped to a lower frequency of 2600 MHz.
+
+Enable Intel(R) SST-TF
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+To enable Intel(R) SST-TF, execute::
+
+ # intel-speed-select -c 12,13 turbo-freq enable -a
+ Intel(R) Speed Select Technology
+ Executing on CPU model: X
+ package-0
+ die-0
+ cpu-12
+ turbo-freq
+ enable:success
+ package-0
+ die-0
+ cpu-13
+ turbo-freq
+ enable:success
+ package--1
+ die-0
+ cpu-63
+ turbo-freq --auto
+ enable:success
+
+In this case, the option "-a" is optional. If set, it enables Intel(R) SST-TF
+feature and also sets the CPUs to high and and low priority using Intel Speed
+Select Technology Core Power (Intel(R) SST-CP) features. The CPU numbers passed
+with "-c" arguments are marked as high priority, including its siblings.
+
+If -a option is not used, then the following steps are required before enabling
+Intel(R) SST-TF:
+
+- Discover Intel(R) SST-TF and note buckets of high priority cores and maximum frequency
+
+- Enable CLOS using core-power feature set - Configure CLOS parameters
+
+- Subscribe desired CPUs to CLOS groups making sure that high priority cores are set to the maximum frequency
+
+If the same hackbench workload is executed, schedule hackbench threads on high
+priority CPUs::
+
+ #taskset -c 12,13 perf bench -r 100 sched pipe
+ # Running 'sched/pipe' benchmark:

+pstore block oops/panic logger
+==============================
+
+Introduction
+------------
+
+pstore block (pstore/blk) is an oops/panic logger that writes its logs to a
+block device and non-block device before the system crashes. You can get
+these log files by mounting pstore filesystem like::
+
+ mount -t pstore pstore /sys/fs/pstore
+
+
+pstore block concepts
+---------------------
+
+pstore/blk provides efficient configuration method for pstore/blk, which
+divides all configurations into two parts, configurations for user and
+configurations for driver.
+
+Configurations for user determine how pstore/blk works, such as pmsg_size,
+kmsg_size and so on. All of them support both Kconfig and module parameters,
+but module parameters have priority over Kconfig.
+
+Configurations for driver are all about block device and non-block device,
+such as total_size of block device and read/write operations.
+
+Configurations for user
+-----------------------
+
+All of these configurations support both Kconfig and module parameters, but
+module parameters have priority over Kconfig.
+
+Here is an example for module parameters::
+
+ pstore_blk.blkdev=179:7 pstore_blk.kmsg_size=64
+
+The detail of each configurations may be of interest to you.
+
+blkdev
+~~~~~~
+
+The block device to use. Most of the time, it is a partition of block device.
+It's required for pstore/blk. It is also used for MTD device.
+
+It accepts the following variants for block device:
+
+1. <hex_major><hex_minor> device number in hexadecimal represents itself; no
+ leading 0x, for example b302.
+#. /dev/<disk_name> represents the device number of disk
+#. /dev/<disk_name><decimal> represents the device number of partition - device
+ number of disk plus the partition number
+#. /dev/<disk_name>p<decimal> - same as the above; this form is used when disk
+ name of partitioned disk ends with a digit.
+#. PARTUUID=00112233-4455-6677-8899-AABBCCDDEEFF represents the unique id of
+ a partition if the partition table provides it. The UUID may be either an
+ EFI/GPT UUID, or refer to an MSDOS partition using the format SSSSSSSS-PP,
+ where SSSSSSSS is a zero-filled hex representation of the 32-bit
+ "NT disk signature", and PP is a zero-filled hex representation of the
+ 1-based partition number.
+#. PARTUUID=<UUID>/PARTNROFF=<int> to select a partition in relation to a
+ partition with a known unique id.
+#. <major>:<minor> major and minor number of the device separated by a colon.
+
+It accepts the following variants for MTD device:
+
+1. <device name> MTD device name. "pstore" is recommended.
+#. <device number> MTD device number.
+
+kmsg_size
+~~~~~~~~~
+
+The chunk size in KB for oops/panic front-end. It **MUST** be a multiple of 4.
+It's optional if you do not care oops/panic log.
+
+There are multiple chunks for oops/panic front-end depending on the remaining
+space except other pstore front-ends.
+
+pstore/blk will log to oops/panic chunks one by one, and always overwrite the
+oldest chunk if there is no more free chunk.
+
+pmsg_size
+~~~~~~~~~
+
+The chunk size in KB for pmsg front-end. It **MUST** be a multiple of 4.
+It's optional if you do not care pmsg log.
+
+Unlike oops/panic front-end, there is only one chunk for pmsg front-end.
+
+Pmsg is a user space accessible pstore object. Writes to */dev/pmsg0* are
+appended to the chunk. On reboot the contents are available in
+*/sys/fs/pstore/pmsg-pstore-blk-0*.
+
+console_size
+~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+The chunk size in KB for console front-end. It **MUST** be a multiple of 4.
+It's optional if you do not care console log.
+
+Similar to pmsg front-end, there is only one chunk for console front-end.
+
+All log of console will be appended to the chunk. On reboot the contents are
+available in */sys/fs/pstore/console-pstore-blk-0*.
+
+ftrace_size
+~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+The chunk size in KB for ftrace front-end. It **MUST** be a multiple of 4.
+It's optional if you do not care console log.
+
+Similar to oops front-end, there are multiple chunks for ftrace front-end
+depending on the count of cpu processors. Each chunk size is equal to
+ftrace_size / processors_count.
+
+All log of ftrace will be appended to the chunk. On reboot the contents are
+combined and available in */sys/fs/pstore/ftrace-pstore-blk-0*.
+
+Persistent function tracing might be useful for debugging software or hardware
+related hangs. Here is an example of usage::
+
+ # mount -t pstore pstore /sys/fs/pstore
+ # mount -t debugfs debugfs /sys/kernel/debug/
+ # echo 1 > /sys/kernel/debug/pstore/record_ftrace
+ # reboot -f
+ [...]
+ # mount -t pstore pstore /sys/fs/pstore
+ # tail /sys/fs/pstore/ftrace-pstore-blk-0

+
+max_reason
+~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Limiting which kinds of kmsg dumps are stored can be controlled via
+the ``max_reason`` value, as defined in include/linux/kmsg_dump.h's
+``enum kmsg_dump_reason``. For example, to store both Oopses and Panics,
+``max_reason`` should be set to 2 (KMSG_DUMP_OOPS), to store only Panics
+``max_reason`` should be set to 1 (KMSG_DUMP_PANIC). Setting this to 0
+(KMSG_DUMP_UNDEF), means the reason filtering will be controlled by the
+``printk.always_kmsg_dump`` boot param: if unset, it'll be KMSG_DUMP_OOPS,
+otherwise KMSG_DUMP_MAX.
+
+Configurations for driver
+-------------------------
+
+Only a block device driver cares about these configurations. A block device
+driver uses ``register_pstore_blk`` to register to pstore/blk.
+
+.. kernel-doc:: fs/pstore/blk.c
+ :identifiers: register_pstore_blk
+
+A non-block device driver uses ``register_pstore_device`` with
+``struct pstore_device_info`` to register to pstore/blk.
+
+.. kernel-doc:: fs/pstore/blk.c
+ :identifiers: register_pstore_device
+
+.. kernel-doc:: include/linux/pstore_blk.h
+ :identifiers: pstore_device_info
+
+Compression and header
+----------------------
+
+Block device is large enough for uncompressed oops data. Actually we do not
+recommend data compression because pstore/blk will insert some information into
+the first line of oops/panic data. For example::
+
+ Panic: Total 16 times
+
+It means that it's OOPS|Panic for the 16th time since the first booting.
+Sometimes the number of occurrences of oops|panic since the first booting is
+important to judge whether the system is stable.
+
+The following line is inserted by pstore filesystem. For example::
+
+ Oops#2 Part1
+
+It means that it's OOPS for the 2nd time on the last boot.
+
+Reading the data
+----------------
+
+The dump data can be read from the pstore filesystem. The format for these
+files is ``dmesg-pstore-blk-[N]`` for oops/panic front-end,
+``pmsg-pstore-blk-0`` for pmsg front-end and so on. The timestamp of the
+dump file records the trigger time. To delete a stored record from block
+device, simply unlink the respective pstore file.
+
+Attentions in panic read/write APIs
+-----------------------------------
+
+If on panic, the kernel is not going to run for much longer, the tasks will not
+be scheduled and most kernel resources will be out of service. It
+looks like a single-threaded program running on a single-core computer.
+
+The following points require special attention for panic read/write APIs:
+
+1. Can **NOT** allocate any memory.
+ If you need memory, just allocate while the block driver is initializing
+ rather than waiting until the panic.
+#. Must be polled, **NOT** interrupt driven.
+ No task schedule any more. The block driver should delay to ensure the write
+ succeeds, but NOT sleep.
+#. Can **NOT** take any lock.
+ There is no other task, nor any shared resource; you are safe to break all
+ locks.
+#. Just use CPU to transfer.
+ Do not use DMA to transfer unless you are sure that DMA will not keep lock.
+#. Control registers directly.
+ Please control registers directly rather than use Linux kernel resources.
+ Do I/O map while initializing rather than wait until a panic occurs.
+#. Reset your block device and controller if necessary.
+ If you are not sure of the state of your block device and controller when
+ a panic occurs, you are safe to stop and reset them.
+
+pstore/blk supports psblk_blkdev_info(), which is defined in
+*linux/pstore_blk.h*, to get information of using block device, such as the
+device number, sector count and start sector of the whole disk.
+

+=================
+Inline Encryption
+=================
+
+Background
+==========
+
+Inline encryption hardware sits logically between memory and the disk, and can
+en/decrypt data as it goes in/out of the disk. Inline encryption hardware has a
+fixed number of "keyslots" - slots into which encryption contexts (i.e. the
+encryption key, encryption algorithm, data unit size) can be programmed by the
+kernel at any time. Each request sent to the disk can be tagged with the index
+of a keyslot (and also a data unit number to act as an encryption tweak), and
+the inline encryption hardware will en/decrypt the data in the request with the
+encryption context programmed into that keyslot. This is very different from
+full disk encryption solutions like self encrypting drives/TCG OPAL/ATA
+Security standards, since with inline encryption, any block on disk could be
+encrypted with any encryption context the kernel chooses.
+
+
+Objective
+=========
+
+We want to support inline encryption (IE) in the kernel.
+To allow for testing, we also want a crypto API fallback when actual
+IE hardware is absent. We also want IE to work with layered devices
+like dm and loopback (i.e. we want to be able to use the IE hardware
+of the underlying devices if present, or else fall back to crypto API
+en/decryption).
+
+
+Constraints and notes
+=====================
+
+- IE hardware has a limited number of "keyslots" that can be programmed
+ with an encryption context (key, algorithm, data unit size, etc.) at any time.
+ One can specify a keyslot in a data request made to the device, and the
+ device will en/decrypt the data using the encryption context programmed into
+ that specified keyslot. When possible, we want to make multiple requests with
+ the same encryption context share the same keyslot.
+
+- We need a way for upper layers like filesystems to specify an encryption
+ context to use for en/decrypting a struct bio, and a device driver (like UFS)
+ needs to be able to use that encryption context when it processes the bio.
+
+- We need a way for device drivers to expose their inline encryption
+ capabilities in a unified way to the upper layers.
+
+
+Design
+======
+
+We add a :c:type:`struct bio_crypt_ctx` to :c:type:`struct bio` that can
+represent an encryption context, because we need to be able to pass this
+encryption context from the upper layers (like the fs layer) to the
+device driver to act upon.
+
+While IE hardware works on the notion of keyslots, the FS layer has no
+knowledge of keyslots - it simply wants to specify an encryption context to
+use while en/decrypting a bio.
+
+We introduce a keyslot manager (KSM) that handles the translation from
+encryption contexts specified by the FS to keyslots on the IE hardware.
+This KSM also serves as the way IE hardware can expose its capabilities to
+upper layers. The generic mode of operation is: each device driver that wants
+to support IE will construct a KSM and set it up in its struct request_queue.
+Upper layers that want to use IE on this device can then use this KSM in
+the device's struct request_queue to translate an encryption context into
+a keyslot. The presence of the KSM in the request queue shall be used to mean
+that the device supports IE.
+
+The KSM uses refcounts to track which keyslots are idle (either they have no
+encryption context programmed, or there are no in-flight struct bios
+referencing that keyslot). When a new encryption context needs a keyslot, it
+tries to find a keyslot that has already been programmed with the same
+encryption context, and if there is no such keyslot, it evicts the least
+recently used idle keyslot and programs the new encryption context into that
+one. If no idle keyslots are available, then the caller will sleep until there
+is at least one.
+
+
+blk-mq changes, other block layer changes and blk-crypto-fallback
+=================================================================
+
+We add a pointer to a ``bi_crypt_context`` and ``keyslot`` to
+:c:type:`struct request`. These will be referred to as the ``crypto fields``
+for the request. This ``keyslot`` is the keyslot into which the
+``bi_crypt_context`` has been programmed in the KSM of the ``request_queue``
+that this request is being sent to.
+
+We introduce ``block/blk-crypto-fallback.c``, which allows upper layers to remain
+blissfully unaware of whether or not real inline encryption hardware is present
+underneath. When a bio is submitted with a target ``request_queue`` that doesn't
+support the encryption context specified with the bio, the block layer will
+en/decrypt the bio with the blk-crypto-fallback.
+
+If the bio is a ``WRITE`` bio, a bounce bio is allocated, and the data in the bio
+is encrypted stored in the bounce bio - blk-mq will then proceed to process the
+bounce bio as if it were not encrypted at all (except when blk-integrity is
+concerned). ``blk-crypto-fallback`` sets the bounce bio's ``bi_end_io`` to an
+internal function that cleans up the bounce bio and ends the original bio.
+
+If the bio is a ``READ`` bio, the bio's ``bi_end_io`` (and also ``bi_private``)
+is saved and overwritten by ``blk-crypto-fallback`` to
+``bio_crypto_fallback_decrypt_bio``. The bio's ``bi_crypt_context`` is also
+overwritten with ``NULL``, so that to the rest of the stack, the bio looks
+as if it was a regular bio that never had an encryption context specified.
+``bio_crypto_fallback_decrypt_bio`` will decrypt the bio, restore the original
+``bi_end_io`` (and also ``bi_private``) and end the bio again.
+
+Regardless of whether real inline encryption hardware is used or the
+blk-crypto-fallback is used, the ciphertext written to disk (and hence the
+on-disk format of data) will be the same (assuming the hardware's implementation
+of the algorithm being used adheres to spec and functions correctly).
+
+If a ``request queue``'s inline encryption hardware claimed to support the
+encryption context specified with a bio, then it will not be handled by the
+``blk-crypto-fallback``. We will eventually reach a point in blk-mq when a
+:c:type:`struct request` needs to be allocated for that bio. At that point,
+blk-mq tries to program the encryption context into the ``request_queue``'s
+keyslot_manager, and obtain a keyslot, which it stores in its newly added
+``keyslot`` field. This keyslot is released when the request is completed.
+
+When the first bio is added to a request, ``blk_crypto_rq_bio_prep`` is called,
+which sets the request's ``crypt_ctx`` to a copy of the bio's
+``bi_crypt_context``. bio_crypt_do_front_merge is called whenever a subsequent
+bio is merged to the front of the request, which updates the ``crypt_ctx`` of
+the request so that it matches the newly merged bio's ``bi_crypt_context``. In particular, the request keeps a copy of the ``bi_crypt_context`` of the first
+bio in its bio-list (blk-mq needs to be careful to maintain this invariant
+during bio and request merges).
+
+To make it possible for inline encryption to work with request queue based
+layered devices, when a request is cloned, its ``crypto fields`` are cloned as
+well. When the cloned request is submitted, blk-mq programs the
+``bi_crypt_context`` of the request into the clone's request_queue's keyslot
+manager, and stores the returned keyslot in the clone's ``keyslot``.
+
+
+API presented to users of the block layer
+=========================================
+
+``struct blk_crypto_key`` represents a crypto key (the raw key, size of the
+key, the crypto algorithm to use, the data unit size to use, and the number of
+bytes required to represent data unit numbers that will be specified with the
+``bi_crypt_context``).
+
+``blk_crypto_init_key`` allows upper layers to initialize such a
+``blk_crypto_key``.
+
+``bio_crypt_set_ctx`` should be called on any bio that a user of
+the block layer wants en/decrypted via inline encryption (or the
+blk-crypto-fallback, if hardware support isn't available for the desired
+crypto configuration). This function takes the ``blk_crypto_key`` and the
+data unit number (DUN) to use when en/decrypting the bio.
+
+``blk_crypto_config_supported`` allows upper layers to query whether or not the
+an encryption context passed to request queue can be handled by blk-crypto
+(either by real inline encryption hardware, or by the blk-crypto-fallback).
+This is useful e.g. when blk-crypto-fallback is disabled, and the upper layer
+wants to use an algorithm that may not supported by hardware - this function
+lets the upper layer know ahead of time that the algorithm isn't supported,
+and the upper layer can fallback to something else if appropriate.
+
+``blk_crypto_start_using_key`` - Upper layers must call this function on
+``blk_crypto_key`` and a ``request_queue`` before using the key with any bio
+headed for that ``request_queue``. This function ensures that either the
+hardware supports the key's crypto settings, or the crypto API fallback has
+transforms for the needed mode allocated and ready to go. Note that this
+function may allocate an ``skcipher``, and must not be called from the data
+path, since allocating ``skciphers`` from the data path can deadlock.
+
+``blk_crypto_evict_key`` *must* be called by upper layers before a
+``blk_crypto_key`` is freed. Further, it *must* only be called only once
+there are no more in-flight requests that use that ``blk_crypto_key``.
+``blk_crypto_evict_key`` will ensure that a key is removed from any keyslots in
+inline encryption hardware that the key might have been programmed into (or the blk-crypto-fallback).
+
+API presented to device drivers
+===============================
+
+A :c:type:``struct blk_keyslot_manager`` should be set up by device drivers in
+the ``request_queue`` of the device. The device driver needs to call
+``blk_ksm_init`` on the ``blk_keyslot_manager``, which specifying the number of
+keyslots supported by the hardware.
+
+The device driver also needs to tell the KSM how to actually manipulate the
+IE hardware in the device to do things like programming the crypto key into
+the IE hardware into a particular keyslot. All this is achieved through the
+:c:type:`struct blk_ksm_ll_ops` field in the KSM that the device driver
+must fill up after initing the ``blk_keyslot_manager``.
+
+The KSM also handles runtime power management for the device when applicable
+(e.g. when it wants to program a crypto key into the IE hardware, the device
+must be runtime powered on) - so the device driver must also set the ``dev``
+field in the ksm to point to the `struct device` for the KSM to use for runtime
+power management.
+
+``blk_ksm_reprogram_all_keys`` can be called by device drivers if the device
+needs each and every of its keyslots to be reprogrammed with the key it
+"should have" at the point in time when the function is called. This is useful
+e.g. if a device loses all its keys on runtime power down/up.
+
+``blk_ksm_destroy`` should be called to free up all resources used by a keyslot
+manager upon ``blk_ksm_init``, once the ``blk_keyslot_manager`` is no longer
+needed.
+
+
+Layered Devices
+===============
+
+Request queue based layered devices like dm-rq that wish to support IE need to
+create their own keyslot manager for their request queue, and expose whatever
+functionality they choose. When a layered device wants to pass a clone of that
+request to another ``request_queue``, blk-crypto will initialize and prepare the
+clone as necessary - see ``blk_crypto_insert_cloned_request`` in
+``blk-crypto.c``.
+
+
+Future Optimizations for layered devices
+========================================
+
+Creating a keyslot manager for a layered device uses up memory for each
+keyslot, and in general, a layered device merely passes the request on to a
+"child" device, so the keyslots in the layered device itself are completely
+unused, and don't need any refcounting or keyslot programming. We can instead
+define a new type of KSM; the "passthrough KSM", that layered devices can use
+to advertise an unlimited number of keyslots, and support for any encryption
+algorithms they choose, while not actually using any memory for each keyslot.
+Another use case for the "passthrough KSM" is for IE devices that do not have a
+limited number of keyslots.
+
+
+Interaction between inline encryption and blk integrity
+=======================================================
+
+At the time of this patch, there is no real hardware that supports both these
+features. However, these features do interact with each other, and it's not
+completely trivial to make them both work together properly. In particular,
+when a WRITE bio wants to use inline encryption on a device that supports both
+features, the bio will have an encryption context specified, after which
+its integrity information is calculated (using the plaintext data, since
+the encryption will happen while data is being written), and the data and
+integrity info is sent to the device. Obviously, the integrity info must be
+verified before the data is encrypted. After the data is encrypted, the device
+must not store the integrity info that it received with the plaintext data
+since that might reveal information about the plaintext data. As such, it must
+re-generate the integrity info from the ciphertext data and store that on disk
+instead. Another issue with storing the integrity info of the plaintext data is
+that it changes the on disk format depending on whether hardware inline
+encryption support is present or the kernel crypto API fallback is used (since
+if the fallback is used, the device will receive the integrity info of the
+ciphertext, not that of the plaintext).
+
+Because there isn't any real hardware yet, it seems prudent to assume that
+hardware implementations might not implement both features together correctly,
+and disallow the combination for now. Whenever a device supports integrity, the
+kernel will pretend that the device does not support hardware inline encryption
+(by essentially setting the keyslot manager in the request_queue of the device
+to NULL). When the crypto API fallback is enabled, this means that all bios with
+and encryption context will use the fallback, and IO will complete as usual.
+When the fallback is disabled, a bio with an encryption context will be failed.

+===========================
+Message logging with printk
+===========================
+
+printk() is one of the most widely known functions in the Linux kernel. It's the
+standard tool we have for printing messages and usually the most basic way of
+tracing and debugging. If you're familiar with printf(3) you can tell printk()
+is based on it, although it has some functional differences:
+
+ - printk() messages can specify a log level.
+
+ - the format string, while largely compatible with C99, doesn't follow the
+ exact same specification. It has some extensions and a few limitations
+ (no ``%n`` or floating point conversion specifiers). See :ref:`How to get
+ printk format specifiers right <printk-specifiers>`.
+
+All printk() messages are printed to the kernel log buffer, which is a ring
+buffer exported to userspace through /dev/kmsg. The usual way to read it is
+using ``dmesg``.
+
+printk() is typically used like this::
+
+ printk(KERN_INFO "Message: %s\n", arg);
+
+where ``KERN_INFO`` is the log level (note that it's concatenated to the format
+string, the log level is not a separate argument). The available log levels are:
+
++----------------+--------+-----------------------------------------------+
+| Name | String | Alias function |
++================+========+===============================================+
+| KERN_EMERG | "0" | pr_emerg() |
++----------------+--------+-----------------------------------------------+
+| KERN_ALERT | "1" | pr_alert() |
++----------------+--------+-----------------------------------------------+
+| KERN_CRIT | "2" | pr_crit() |
++----------------+--------+-----------------------------------------------+
+| KERN_ERR | "3" | pr_err() |
++----------------+--------+-----------------------------------------------+
+| KERN_WARNING | "4" | pr_warn() |
++----------------+--------+-----------------------------------------------+
+| KERN_NOTICE | "5" | pr_notice() |
++----------------+--------+-----------------------------------------------+
+| KERN_INFO | "6" | pr_info() |
++----------------+--------+-----------------------------------------------+
+| KERN_DEBUG | "7" | pr_debug() and pr_devel() if DEBUG is defined |
++----------------+--------+-----------------------------------------------+
+| KERN_DEFAULT | "" | |
++----------------+--------+-----------------------------------------------+
+| KERN_CONT | "c" | pr_cont() |
++----------------+--------+-----------------------------------------------+
+
+
+The log level specifies the importance of a message. The kernel decides whether
+to show the message immediately (printing it to the current console) depending
+on its log level and the current *console_loglevel* (a kernel variable). If the
+message priority is higher (lower log level value) than the *console_loglevel*
+the message will be printed to the console.
+
+If the log level is omitted, the message is printed with ``KERN_DEFAULT``
+level.
+
+You can check the current *console_loglevel* with::
+
+ $ cat /proc/sys/kernel/printk
+ 4 4 1 7
+
+The result shows the *current*, *default*, *minimum* and *boot-time-default* log
+levels.
+
+To change the current console_loglevel simply write the the desired level to
+``/proc/sys/kernel/printk``. For example, to print all messages to the console::
+
+ # echo 8 > /proc/sys/kernel/printk
+
+Another way, using ``dmesg``::
+
+ # dmesg -n 5
+
+sets the console_loglevel to print KERN_WARNING (4) or more severe messages to
+console. See ``dmesg(1)`` for more information.
+
+As an alternative to printk() you can use the ``pr_*()`` aliases for
+logging. This family of macros embed the log level in the macro names. For
+example::
+
+ pr_info("Info message no. %d\n", msg_num);
+
+prints a ``KERN_INFO`` message.
+
+Besides being more concise than the equivalent printk() calls, they can use a
+common definition for the format string through the pr_fmt() macro. For
+instance, defining this at the top of a source file (before any ``#include``
+directive)::
+
+ #define pr_fmt(fmt) "%s:%s: " fmt, KBUILD_MODNAME, __func__
+
+would prefix every pr_*() message in that file with the module and function name
+that originated the message.
+
+For debugging purposes there are also two conditionally-compiled macros:
+pr_debug() and pr_devel(), which are compiled-out unless ``DEBUG`` (or
+also ``CONFIG_DYNAMIC_DEBUG`` in the case of pr_debug()) is defined.

-Synopsys DesignWare MIPI DSI host controller
-============================================
-
-This document defines device tree properties for the Synopsys DesignWare MIPI
-DSI host controller. It doesn't constitue a device tree binding specification
-by itself but is meant to be referenced by platform-specific device tree
-bindings.
-
-When referenced from platform device tree bindings the properties defined in
-this document are defined as follows. The platform device tree bindings are
-responsible for defining whether each optional property is used or not.
-
-- reg: Memory mapped base address and length of the DesignWare MIPI DSI
- host controller registers. (mandatory)

+ The IT6505 is a high-performance DisplayPort 1.1a transmitter,
+ fully compliant with DisplayPort 1.1a, HDCP 1.3 specifications.
+ The IT6505 supports color depth of up to 36 bits (12 bits/color)
+ and ensures robust transmission of high-quality uncompressed video
+ content, along with uncompressed and compressed digital audio content.
+
+ Aside from the various video output formats supported, the IT6505
+ also encodes and transmits up to 8 channels of I2S digital audio,
+ with sampling rate up to 192kHz and sample size up to 24 bits.
+ In addition, an S/PDIF input port takes in compressed audio of up to
+ 192kHz frame rate.
+
+ Each IT6505 chip comes preprogrammed with an unique HDCP key,
+ in compliance with the HDCP 1.3 standard so as to provide secure
+ transmission of high-definition content. Users of the IT6505 need not
+ purchase any HDCP keys or ROMs.

-Thine Electronics THC63LVD1024 LVDS decoder
--------------------------------------------
-
-The THC63LVD1024 is a dual link LVDS receiver designed to convert LVDS streams
-to parallel data outputs. The chip supports single/dual input/output modes,
-handling up to two LVDS input streams and up to two digital CMOS/TTL outputs.
-
-Single or dual operation mode, output data mapping and DDR output modes are
-configured through input signals and the chip does not expose any control bus.
-
-Required properties:
-- compatible: Shall be "thine,thc63lvd1024"
-- vcc-supply: Power supply for TTL output, TTL CLOCKOUT signal, LVDS input,
- PPL and digital circuitry
-
-Optional properties:
-- powerdown-gpios: Power down GPIO signal, pin name "/PDWN". Active low
-- oe-gpios: Output enable GPIO signal, pin name "OE". Active high
-
-The THC63LVD1024 video port connections are modeled according
-to OF graph bindings specified by Documentation/devicetree/bindings/graph.txt
-
-Required video port nodes:
-- port@0: First LVDS input port
-- port@2: First digital CMOS/TTL parallel output
-
-Optional video port nodes:
-- port@1: Second LVDS input port
-- port@3: Second digital CMOS/TTL parallel output
-
-The device can operate in single-link mode or dual-link mode. In single-link
-mode, all pixels are received on port@0, and port@1 shall not contain any
-endpoint. In dual-link mode, even-numbered pixels are received on port@0 and
-odd-numbered pixels on port@1, and both port@0 and port@1 shall contain
-endpoints.
-
-Example:
---------
-
- thc63lvd1024: lvds-decoder {
- compatible = "thine,thc63lvd1024";
-
- vcc-supply = <&reg_lvds_vcc>;

-Ilitek ILI9322 TFT panel driver with SPI control bus
-
-This is a driver for 320x240 TFT panels, accepting a variety of input
-streams that get adapted and scaled to the panel. The panel output has
-960 TFT source driver pins and 240 TFT gate driver pins, VCOM, VCOML and
-VCOMH outputs.
-
-Required properties:
- - compatible: "dlink,dir-685-panel", "ilitek,ili9322"
- (full system-specific compatible is always required to look up configuration)
- - reg: address of the panel on the SPI bus
-
-Optional properties:
- - vcc-supply: core voltage supply, see regulator/regulator.txt
- - iovcc-supply: voltage supply for the interface input/output signals,
- see regulator/regulator.txt
- - vci-supply: voltage supply for analog parts, see regulator/regulator.txt
- - reset-gpios: a GPIO spec for the reset pin, see gpio/gpio.txt
-
- The following optional properties only apply to RGB and YUV input modes and
- can be omitted for BT.656 input modes:
-
- - pixelclk-active: see display/panel/display-timing.txt
- - de-active: see display/panel/display-timing.txt
- - hsync-active: see display/panel/display-timing.txt
- - vsync-active: see display/panel/display-timing.txt
-
-The panel must obey the rules for a SPI slave device as specified in
-spi/spi-bus.txt
-
-The device node can contain one 'port' child node with one child
-'endpoint' node, according to the bindings defined in
-media/video-interfaces.txt. This node should describe panel's video bus.
-
-Example:
-
-panel: display@0 {
- compatible = "dlink,dir-685-panel", "ilitek,ili9322";
- reg = <0>;
- vcc-supply = <&vdisp>;
- iovcc-supply = <&vdisp>;

-SHARP LS037V7DW01 TFT-LCD panel
-===================================
-
-Required properties:
-- compatible: "sharp,ls037v7dw01"
-
-Optional properties:
-- label: a symbolic name for the panel
-- enable-gpios: a GPIO spec for the optional enable pin.
- This pin is the INI pin as specified in the LS037V7DW01.pdf file.
-- reset-gpios: a GPIO spec for the optional reset pin.
- This pin is the RESB pin as specified in the LS037V7DW01.pdf file.
-- mode-gpios: a GPIO
- ordered MO, LR, and UD as specified in the LS037V7DW01.pdf file.
-
-Required nodes:
-- Video port for DPI input
-
-This panel can have zero to five GPIOs to configure to change configuration
-between QVGA and VGA mode and the scan direction. As these pins can be also
-configured with external pulls, all the GPIOs are considered optional with holes
-in the array.
-
-Example
--------
-
-Example when connected to a omap2+ based device:
-
-lcd0: display {
- compatible = "sharp,ls037v7dw01";
- power-supply = <&lcd_3v3>;
- enable-gpios = <&gpio5 24 GPIO_ACTIVE_HIGH>; /* gpio152, lcd INI */

+description: |
+ Baikal-T1 SoC provides an embedded process, voltage and temperature
+ sensor to monitor an internal SoC environment (chip temperature, supply
+ voltage and process monitor) and on time detect critical situations,
+ which may cause the system instability and even damages. The IP-block
+ is based on the Analog Bits PVT sensor, but is equipped with a dedicated
+ control wrapper, which provides a MMIO registers-based access to the
+ sensor core functionality (APB3-bus based) and exposes an additional
+ functions like thresholds/data ready interrupts, its status and masks,
+ measurements timeout. Its internal structure is depicted on the next
+ diagram:

-Synopsys DesignWare AMBA 2.0 Synchronous Serial Interface.
-
-Required properties:
-- compatible : "snps,dw-apb-ssi" or "mscc,<soc>-spi", where soc is "ocelot" or
- "jaguar2", or "amazon,alpine-dw-apb-ssi"
-- reg : The register base for the controller. For "mscc,<soc>-spi", a second
- register set is required (named ICPU_CFG:SPI_MST)
-- interrupts : One interrupt, used by the controller.
-- #address-cells : <1>, as required by generic SPI binding.
-- #size-cells : <0>, also as required by generic SPI binding.
-- clocks : phandles for the clocks, see the description of clock-names below.
- The phandle for the "ssi_clk" is required. The phandle for the "pclk" clock
- is optional. If a single clock is specified but no clock-name, it is the
- "ssi_clk" clock. If both clocks are listed, the "ssi_clk" must be first.
-
-Optional properties:
-- clock-names : Contains the names of the clocks:
- "ssi_clk", for the core clock used to generate the external SPI clock.
- "pclk", the interface clock, required for register access. If a clock domain
- used to enable this clock then it should be named "pclk_clkdomain".
-- cs-gpios : Specifies the gpio pins to be used for chipselects.
-- num-cs : The number of chipselects. If omitted, this will default to 4.
-- reg-io-width : The I/O register width (in bytes) implemented by this
- device. Supported values are 2 or 4 (the default).
-
-Child nodes as per the generic SPI binding.
-
-Example:
-
- spi@fff00000 {
- compatible = "snps,dw-apb-ssi";
- reg = <0xfff00000 0x1000>;
- interrupts = <0 154 4>;

+The ``DPM_FLAG_SMART_SUSPEND`` Driver Flag
+------------------------------------------
+
Some bus types and PM domains have a policy to resume all devices from runtime
suspend upfront in their ``->suspend`` callbacks, but that may not be really
-necessary if the driver of the device can cope with runtime-suspended devices.
-The driver can indicate that by setting ``DPM_FLAG_SMART_SUSPEND`` in
-:c:member:`power.driver_flags` at the probe time, by passing it to the
-:c:func:`dev_pm_set_driver_flags` helper. That also may cause middle-layer code

+The driver can indicate this by setting ``DPM_FLAG_SMART_SUSPEND`` in
+:c:member:`power.driver_flags` at probe time, with the assistance of the
+:c:func:`dev_pm_set_driver_flags` helper routine.
+
+Setting that flag causes the PM core and middle-layer code
(bus types, PM domains etc.) to skip the ``->suspend_late`` and
``->suspend_noirq`` callbacks provided by the driver if the device remains in
-runtime suspend at the beginning of the ``suspend_late`` phase of system-wide
-suspend (or in the ``poweroff_late`` phase of hibernation), when runtime PM
-has been disabled for it, under the assumption that its state should not change
-after that point until the system-wide transition is over (the PM core itself
-does that for devices whose "noirq", "late" and "early" system-wide PM callbacks
-are executed directly by it). If that happens, the driver's system-wide resume
-callbacks, if present, may still be invoked during the subsequent system-wide
-resume transition and the device's runtime power management status may be set
-to "active" before enabling runtime PM for it, so the driver must be prepared to
-cope with the invocation of its system-wide resume callbacks back-to-back with
-its ``->runtime_suspend`` one (without the intervening ``->runtime_resume`` and
-so on) and the final state of the device must reflect the "active" runtime PM
-status in that case.
+runtime suspend throughout those phases of the system-wide suspend (and
+similarly for the "freeze" and "poweroff" parts of system hibernation).
+[Otherwise the same driver
+callback might be executed twice in a row for the same device, which would not
+be valid in general.] If the middle-layer system-wide PM callbacks are present
+for the device then they are responsible for skipping these driver callbacks;
+if not then the PM core skips them. The subsystem callback routines can
+determine whether they need to skip the driver callbacks by testing the return
+value from the :c:func:`dev_pm_skip_suspend` helper function.
+
+In addition, with ``DPM_FLAG_SMART_SUSPEND`` set, the driver's ``->thaw_noirq``
+and ``->thaw_early`` callbacks are skipped in hibernation if the device remained
+in runtime suspend throughout the preceding "freeze" transition. Again, if the
+middle-layer callbacks are present for the device, they are responsible for
+doing this, otherwise the PM core takes care of it.
+
+
+The ``DPM_FLAG_MAY_SKIP_RESUME`` Driver Flag
+--------------------------------------------
During system-wide resume from a sleep state it's easiest to put devices into
the full-power state, as explained in :file:`Documentation/power/runtime_pm.rst`.
[Refer to that document for more information regarding this particular issue as
well as for information on the device runtime power management framework in
-general.]

+general.] However, it often is desirable to leave devices in suspend after
+system transitions to the working state, especially if those devices had been in
runtime suspend before the preceding system-wide suspend (or analogous)
-transition. Device drivers can use the ``DPM_FLAG_LEAVE_SUSPENDED`` flag to
-indicate to the PM core (and middle-layer code) that they prefer the specific
-devices handled by them to be left suspended and they have no problems with
-skipping their system-wide resume callbacks for this reason. Whether or not the
-devices will actually be left in suspend may depend on their state before the

+transition.
+
+To that end, device drivers can use the ``DPM_FLAG_MAY_SKIP_RESUME`` flag to
+indicate to the PM core and middle-layer code that they allow their "noirq" and
+"early" resume callbacks to be skipped if the device can be left in suspend
+after system-wide PM transitions to the working state. Whether or not that is
+the case generally depends on the state of the device before the given system
+suspend-resume cycle and on the type of the system transition under way.
+In particular, the "thaw" and "restore" transitions related to hibernation are
+not affected by ``DPM_FLAG_MAY_SKIP_RESUME`` at all. [All callbacks are
+issued during the "restore" transition regardless of the flag settings,
+and whether or not any driver callbacks
+are skipped during the "thaw" transition depends whether or not the
+``DPM_FLAG_SMART_SUSPEND`` flag is set (see `above <smart_suspend_flag_>`_).
+In addition, a device is not allowed to remain in runtime suspend if any of its
+children will be returned to full power.]
+
+The ``DPM_FLAG_MAY_SKIP_RESUME`` flag is taken into account in combination with
+the :c:member:`power.may_skip_resume` status bit set by the PM core during the
+"suspend" phase of suspend-type transitions. If the driver or the middle layer
+has a reason to prevent the driver's "noirq" and "early" resume callbacks from
+being skipped during the subsequent system resume transition, it should
+clear :c:member:`power.may_skip_resume` in its ``->suspend``, ``->suspend_late``
+or ``->suspend_noirq`` callback. [Note that the drivers setting
+``DPM_FLAG_SMART_SUSPEND`` need to clear :c:member:`power.may_skip_resume` in
+their ``->suspend`` callback in case the other two are skipped.]
+
+Setting the :c:member:`power.may_skip_resume` status bit along with the
+``DPM_FLAG_MAY_SKIP_RESUME`` flag is necessary, but generally not sufficient,
+for the driver's "noirq" and "early" resume callbacks to be skipped. Whether or
+not they should be skipped can be determined by evaluating the
+:c:func:`dev_pm_skip_resume` helper function.
+
+If that function returns ``true``, the driver's "noirq" and "early" resume
+callbacks should be skipped and the device's runtime PM status will be set to
+"suspended" by the PM core. Otherwise, if the device was runtime-suspended
+during the preceding system-wide suspend transition and its
+``DPM_FLAG_SMART_SUSPEND`` is set, its runtime PM status will be set to
+"active" by the PM core. [Hence, the drivers that do not set
+``DPM_FLAG_SMART_SUSPEND`` should not expect the runtime PM status of their
+devices to be changed from "suspended" to "active" by the PM core during
+system-wide resume-type transitions.]
+
+If the ``DPM_FLAG_MAY_SKIP_RESUME`` flag is not set for a device, but
+``DPM_FLAG_SMART_SUSPEND`` is set and the driver's "late" and "noirq" suspend
+callbacks are skipped, its system-wide "noirq" and "early" resume callbacks, if
+present, are invoked as usual and the device's runtime PM status is set to
+"active" by the PM core before enabling runtime PM for it. In that case, the
+driver must be prepared to cope with the invocation of its system-wide resume
+callbacks back-to-back with its ``->runtime_suspend`` one (without the
+intervening ``->runtime_resume`` and system-wide suspend callbacks) and the
+final state of the device must reflect the "active" runtime PM status in that
+case. [Note that this is not a problem at all if the driver's
+``->suspend_late`` callback pointer points to the same function as its
+``->runtime_suspend`` one and its ``->resume_early`` callback pointer points to
+the same function as the ``->runtime_resume`` one, while none of the other
+system-wide suspend-resume callbacks of the driver are present, for example.]
+
+Likewise, if ``DPM_FLAG_MAY_SKIP_RESUME`` is set for a device, its driver's
+system-wide "noirq" and "early" resume callbacks may be skipped while its "late"
+and "noirq" suspend callbacks may have been executed (in principle, regardless
+of whether or not ``DPM_FLAG_SMART_SUSPEND`` is set). In that case, the driver
+needs to be able to cope with the invocation of its ``->runtime_resume``
+callback back-to-back with its "late" and "noirq" suspend ones. [For instance,
+that is not a concern if the driver sets both ``DPM_FLAG_SMART_SUSPEND`` and
+``DPM_FLAG_MAY_SKIP_RESUME`` and uses the same pair of suspend/resume callback
+functions for runtime PM and system-wide suspend/resume.]

+General Filesystem Caching
+==========================
+
+Overview
+========
+
+This facility is a general purpose cache for network filesystems, though it
+could be used for caching other things such as ISO9660 filesystems too.
+
+FS-Cache mediates between cache backends (such as CacheFS) and network
+filesystems::
+
+ +---------+
+ | | +--------------+
+ | NFS |--+ | |
+ | | | +-->| CacheFS |
+ +---------+ | +----------+ | | /dev/hda5 |
+ | | | | +--------------+
+ +---------+ +-->| | |
+ | | | |--+
+ | AFS |----->| FS-Cache |
+ | | | |--+
+ +---------+ +-->| | |
+ | | | | +--------------+
+ +---------+ | +----------+ | | |
+ | | | +-->| CacheFiles |
+ | ISOFS |--+ | /var/cache |
+ | | +--------------+
+ +---------+
+
+Or to look at it another way, FS-Cache is a module that provides a caching
+facility to a network filesystem such that the cache is transparent to the
+user::
+

+ | Server |

+
+
+FS-Cache does not follow the idea of completely loading every netfs file
+opened in its entirety into a cache before permitting it to be accessed and
+then serving the pages out of that cache rather than the netfs inode because:
+
+ (1) It must be practical to operate without a cache.
+
+ (2) The size of any accessible file must not be limited to the size of the
+ cache.
+
+ (3) The combined size of all opened files (this includes mapped libraries)
+ must not be limited to the size of the cache.
+
+ (4) The user should not be forced to download an entire file just to do a
+ one-off access of a small portion of it (such as might be done with the
+ "file" program).
+
+It instead serves the cache out in PAGE_SIZE chunks as and when requested by
+the netfs('s) using it.
+
+
+FS-Cache provides the following facilities:
+
+ (1) More than one cache can be used at once. Caches can be selected
+ explicitly by use of tags.
+
+ (2) Caches can be added / removed at any time.
+
+ (3) The netfs is provided with an interface that allows either party to
+ withdraw caching facilities from a file (required for (2)).
+
+ (4) The interface to the netfs returns as few errors as possible, preferring
+ rather to let the netfs remain oblivious.
+
+ (5) Cookies are used to represent indices, files and other objects to the
+ netfs. The simplest cookie is just a NULL pointer - indicating nothing
+ cached there.
+
+ (6) The netfs is allowed to propose - dynamically - any index hierarchy it
+ desires, though it must be aware that the index search function is
+ recursive, stack space is limited, and indices can only be children of
+ indices.
+
+ (7) Data I/O is done direct to and from the netfs's pages. The netfs
+ indicates that page A is at index B of the data-file represented by cookie
+ C, and that it should be read or written. The cache backend may or may
+ not start I/O on that page, but if it does, a netfs callback will be
+ invoked to indicate completion. The I/O may be either synchronous or
+ asynchronous.
+
+ (8) Cookies can be "retired" upon release. At this point FS-Cache will mark
+ them as obsolete and the index hierarchy rooted at that point will get
+ recycled.
+
+ (9) The netfs provides a "match" function for index searches. In addition to
+ saying whether a match was made or not, this can also specify that an
+ entry should be updated or deleted.
+
+(10) As much as possible is done asynchronously.
+
+
+FS-Cache maintains a virtual indexing tree in which all indices, files, objects
+and pages are kept. Bits of this tree may actually reside in one or more
+caches::

+
+In the example above, you can see two netfs's being backed: NFS and AFS. These
+have different index hierarchies:
+
+ * The NFS primary index contains per-server indices. Each server index is
+ indexed by NFS file handles to get data file objects. Each data file
+ objects can have an array of pages, but may also have further child
+ objects, such as extended attributes and directory entries. Extended
+ attribute objects themselves have page-array contents.
+
+ * The AFS primary index contains per-cell indices. Each cell index contains
+ per-logical-volume indices. Each of volume index contains up to three
+ indices for the read-write, read-only and backup mirrors of those volumes.
+ Each of these contains vnode data file objects, each of which contains an
+ array of pages.
+
+The very top index is the FS-Cache master index in which individual netfs's
+have entries.
+
+Any index object may reside in more than one cache, provided it only has index
+children. Any index with non-index object children will be assumed to only
+reside in one cache.

+Statistical Information
+=======================
+
+If FS-Cache is compiled with the following options enabled::
+
+ CONFIG_FSCACHE_STATS=y
+ CONFIG_FSCACHE_HISTOGRAM=y
+
+then it will gather certain statistics and display them through a number of
+proc files.

+ == =========================================================
+
+If neither side of a letter pair is given, then both are implied. For example:
+

+
+By default all objects and all fields will be shown.

+
+Debugging
+=========
+
+If CONFIG_FSCACHE_DEBUG is enabled, the FS-Cache facility can have runtime
+debugging enabled by adjusting the value in::
+
+ /sys/module/fscache/parameters/debug
+
+This is a bitmask of debugging streams to enable:

-FS-Cache does not follow the idea of completely loading every netfs file
-opened in its entirety into a cache before permitting it to be accessed and
-then serving the pages out of that cache rather than the netfs inode because:
-
- (1) It must be practical to operate without a cache.
-
- (2) The size of any accessible file must not be limited to the size of the
- cache.
-
- (3) The combined size of all opened files (this includes mapped libraries)
- must not be limited to the size of the cache.
-
- (4) The user should not be forced to download an entire file just to do a
- one-off access of a small portion of it (such as might be done with the
- "file" program).
-
-It instead serves the cache out in PAGE_SIZE chunks as and when requested by
-the netfs('s) using it.
-
-
-FS-Cache provides the following facilities:
-
- (1) More than one cache can be used at once. Caches can be selected
- explicitly by use of tags.
-
- (2) Caches can be added / removed at any time.
-
- (3) The netfs is provided with an interface that allows either party to
- withdraw caching facilities from a file (required for (2)).
-
- (4) The interface to the netfs returns as few errors as possible, preferring
- rather to let the netfs remain oblivious.
-
- (5) Cookies are used to represent indices, files and other objects to the
- netfs. The simplest cookie is just a NULL pointer - indicating nothing
- cached there.
-
- (6) The netfs is allowed to propose - dynamically - any index hierarchy it
- desires, though it must be aware that the index search function is
- recursive, stack space is limited, and indices can only be children of
- indices.
-
- (7) Data I/O is done direct to and from the netfs's pages. The netfs
- indicates that page A is at index B of the data-file represented by cookie
- C, and that it should be read or written. The cache backend may or may
- not start I/O on that page, but if it does, a netfs callback will be
- invoked to indicate completion. The I/O may be either synchronous or
- asynchronous.
-
- (8) Cookies can be "retired" upon release. At this point FS-Cache will mark
- them as obsolete and the index hierarchy rooted at that point will get
- recycled.
-
- (9) The netfs provides a "match" function for index searches. In addition to
- saying whether a match was made or not, this can also specify that an
- entry should be updated or deleted.
-
-(10) As much as possible is done asynchronously.
-
-
-FS-Cache maintains a virtual indexing tree in which all indices, files, objects
-and pages are kept. Bits of this tree may actually reside in one or more
-caches.

-In the example above, you can see two netfs's being backed: NFS and AFS. These
-have different index hierarchies:
-
- (*) The NFS primary index contains per-server indices. Each server index is
- indexed by NFS file handles to get data file objects. Each data file
- objects can have an array of pages, but may also have further child
- objects, such as extended attributes and directory entries. Extended
- attribute objects themselves have page-array contents.
-
- (*) The AFS primary index contains per-cell indices. Each cell index contains
- per-logical-volume indices. Each of volume index contains up to three
- indices for the read-write, read-only and backup mirrors of those volumes.
- Each of these contains vnode data file objects, each of which contains an
- array of pages.
-
-The very top index is the FS-Cache master index in which individual netfs's
-have entries.
-
-Any index object may reside in more than one cache, provided it only has index
-children. Any index with non-index object children will be assumed to only
-reside in one cache.

+1. Introduction
+===============
+
+ A key component in the Coda Distributed File System is the cache
+ manager, Venus.
+
+ When processes on a Coda enabled system access files in the Coda
+ filesystem, requests are directed at the filesystem layer in the
+ operating system. The operating system will communicate with Venus to
+ service the request for the process. Venus manages a persistent
+ client cache and makes remote procedure calls to Coda file servers and
+ related servers (such as authentication servers) to service these
+ requests it receives from the operating system. When Venus has
+ serviced a request it replies to the operating system with appropriate
+ return codes, and other data related to the request. Optionally the
+ kernel support for Coda may maintain a minicache of recently processed
+ requests to limit the number of interactions with Venus. Venus
+ possesses the facility to inform the kernel when elements from its
+ minicache are no longer valid.
+
+ This document describes precisely this communication between the
+ kernel and Venus. The definitions of so called upcalls and downcalls
+ will be given with the format of the data they handle. We shall also
+ describe the semantic invariants resulting from the calls.
+
+ Historically Coda was implemented in a BSD file system in Mach 2.6.
+ The interface between the kernel and Venus is very similar to the BSD
+ VFS interface. Similar functionality is provided, and the format of
+ the parameters and returned data is very similar to the BSD VFS. This
+ leads to an almost natural environment for implementing a kernel-level
+ filesystem driver for Coda in a BSD system. However, other operating
+ systems such as Linux and Windows 95 and NT have virtual filesystem
+ with different interfaces.
+
+ To implement Coda on these systems some reverse engineering of the
+ Venus/Kernel protocol is necessary. Also it came to light that other
+ systems could profit significantly from certain small optimizations
+ and modifications to the protocol. To facilitate this work as well as
+ to make future ports easier, communication between Venus and the
+ kernel should be documented in great detail. This is the aim of this
+ document.
+
+2. Servicing Coda filesystem calls
+===================================
+
+ The service of a request for a Coda file system service originates in
+ a process P which accessing a Coda file. It makes a system call which
+ traps to the OS kernel. Examples of such calls trapping to the kernel
+ are ``read``, ``write``, ``open``, ``close``, ``create``, ``mkdir``,
+ ``rmdir``, ``chmod`` in a Unix ontext. Similar calls exist in the Win32
+ environment, and are named ``CreateFile``.
+
+ Generally the operating system handles the request in a virtual
+ filesystem (VFS) layer, which is named I/O Manager in NT and IFS
+ manager in Windows 95. The VFS is responsible for partial processing
+ of the request and for locating the specific filesystem(s) which will
+ service parts of the request. Usually the information in the path
+ assists in locating the correct FS drivers. Sometimes after extensive
+ pre-processing, the VFS starts invoking exported routines in the FS
+ driver. This is the point where the FS specific processing of the
+ request starts, and here the Coda specific kernel code comes into
+ play.
+
+ The FS layer for Coda must expose and implement several interfaces.
+ First and foremost the VFS must be able to make all necessary calls to
+ the Coda FS layer, so the Coda FS driver must expose the VFS interface
+ as applicable in the operating system. These differ very significantly
+ among operating systems, but share features such as facilities to
+ read/write and create and remove objects. The Coda FS layer services
+ such VFS requests by invoking one or more well defined services
+ offered by the cache manager Venus. When the replies from Venus have
+ come back to the FS driver, servicing of the VFS call continues and
+ finishes with a reply to the kernel's VFS. Finally the VFS layer
+ returns to the process.
+
+ As a result of this design a basic interface exposed by the FS driver
+ must allow Venus to manage message traffic. In particular Venus must
+ be able to retrieve and place messages and to be notified of the
+ arrival of a new message. The notification must be through a mechanism
+ which does not block Venus since Venus must attend to other tasks even
+ when no messages are waiting or being processed.
+
+ **Interfaces of the Coda FS Driver**
+
+ Furthermore the FS layer provides for a special path of communication
+ between a user process and Venus, called the pioctl interface. The
+ pioctl interface is used for Coda specific services, such as
+ requesting detailed information about the persistent cache managed by
+ Venus. Here the involvement of the kernel is minimal. It identifies
+ the calling process and passes the information on to Venus. When
+ Venus replies the response is passed back to the caller in unmodified
+ form.
+
+ Finally Venus allows the kernel FS driver to cache the results from
+ certain services. This is done to avoid excessive context switches
+ and results in an efficient system. However, Venus may acquire
+ information, for example from the network which implies that cached
+ information must be flushed or replaced. Venus then makes a downcall
+ to the Coda FS layer to request flushes or updates in the cache. The
+ kernel FS driver handles such requests synchronously.
+
+ Among these interfaces the VFS interface and the facility to place,
+ receive and be notified of messages are platform specific. We will
+ not go into the calls exported to the VFS layer but we will state the
+ requirements of the message exchange mechanism.
+
+
+3. The message layer
+=====================
+
+ At the lowest level the communication between Venus and the FS driver
+ proceeds through messages. The synchronization between processes
+ requesting Coda file service and Venus relies on blocking and waking
+ up processes. The Coda FS driver processes VFS- and pioctl-requests
+ on behalf of a process P, creates messages for Venus, awaits replies
+ and finally returns to the caller. The implementation of the exchange
+ of messages is platform specific, but the semantics have (so far)
+ appeared to be generally applicable. Data buffers are created by the
+ FS Driver in kernel memory on behalf of P and copied to user memory in
+ Venus.
+
+ The FS Driver while servicing P makes upcalls to Venus. Such an
+ upcall is dispatched to Venus by creating a message structure. The
+ structure contains the identification of P, the message sequence
+ number, the size of the request and a pointer to the data in kernel
+ memory for the request. Since the data buffer is re-used to hold the
+ reply from Venus, there is a field for the size of the reply. A flags
+ field is used in the message to precisely record the status of the
+ message. Additional platform dependent structures involve pointers to
+ determine the position of the message on queues and pointers to
+ synchronization objects. In the upcall routine the message structure
+ is filled in, flags are set to 0, and it is placed on the *pending*
+ queue. The routine calling upcall is responsible for allocating the
+ data buffer; its structure will be described in the next section.
+
+ A facility must exist to notify Venus that the message has been
+ created, and implemented using available synchronization objects in
+ the OS. This notification is done in the upcall context of the process
+ P. When the message is on the pending queue, process P cannot proceed
+ in upcall. The (kernel mode) processing of P in the filesystem
+ request routine must be suspended until Venus has replied. Therefore
+ the calling thread in P is blocked in upcall. A pointer in the
+ message structure will locate the synchronization object on which P is
+ sleeping.
+
+ Venus detects the notification that a message has arrived, and the FS
+ driver allow Venus to retrieve the message with a getmsg_from_kernel
+ call. This action finishes in the kernel by putting the message on the
+ queue of processing messages and setting flags to READ. Venus is
+ passed the contents of the data buffer. The getmsg_from_kernel call
+ now returns and Venus processes the request.
+
+ At some later point the FS driver receives a message from Venus,
+ namely when Venus calls sendmsg_to_kernel. At this moment the Coda FS
+ driver looks at the contents of the message and decides if:
+
+
+ * the message is a reply for a suspended thread P. If so it removes
+ the message from the processing queue and marks the message as
+ WRITTEN. Finally, the FS driver unblocks P (still in the kernel
+ mode context of Venus) and the sendmsg_to_kernel call returns to
+ Venus. The process P will be scheduled at some point and continues
+ processing its upcall with the data buffer replaced with the reply
+ from Venus.
+
+ * The message is a ``downcall``. A downcall is a request from Venus to
+ the FS Driver. The FS driver processes the request immediately
+ (usually a cache eviction or replacement) and when it finishes
+ sendmsg_to_kernel returns.
+
+ Now P awakes and continues processing upcall. There are some
+ subtleties to take account of. First P will determine if it was woken
+ up in upcall by a signal from some other source (for example an
+ attempt to terminate P) or as is normally the case by Venus in its
+ sendmsg_to_kernel call. In the normal case, the upcall routine will
+ deallocate the message structure and return. The FS routine can proceed
+ with its processing.
+
+
+ **Sleeping and IPC arrangements**
+
+ In case P is woken up by a signal and not by Venus, it will first look
+ at the flags field. If the message is not yet READ, the process P can
+ handle its signal without notifying Venus. If Venus has READ, and
+ the request should not be processed, P can send Venus a signal message
+ to indicate that it should disregard the previous message. Such
+ signals are put in the queue at the head, and read first by Venus. If
+ the message is already marked as WRITTEN it is too late to stop the
+ processing. The VFS routine will now continue. (-- If a VFS request
+ involves more than one upcall, this can lead to complicated state, an
+ extra field "handle_signals" could be added in the message structure
+ to indicate points of no return have been passed.--)
+
+
+
+3.1. Implementation details
+----------------------------
+
+ The Unix implementation of this mechanism has been through the
+ implementation of a character device associated with Coda. Venus
+ retrieves messages by doing a read on the device, replies are sent
+ with a write and notification is through the select system call on the
+ file descriptor for the device. The process P is kept waiting on an
+ interruptible wait queue object.
+
+ In Windows NT and the DPMI Windows 95 implementation a DeviceIoControl
+ call is used. The DeviceIoControl call is designed to copy buffers
+ from user memory to kernel memory with OPCODES. The sendmsg_to_kernel
+ is issued as a synchronous call, while the getmsg_from_kernel call is
+ asynchronous. Windows EventObjects are used for notification of
+ message arrival. The process P is kept waiting on a KernelEvent
+ object in NT and a semaphore in Windows 95.
+
+
+4. The interface at the call level
+===================================
+
+
+ This section describes the upcalls a Coda FS driver can make to Venus.
+ Each of these upcalls make use of two structures: inputArgs and
+ outputArgs. In pseudo BNF form the structures take the following
+ form::
+
+
+ struct inputArgs {
+ u_long opcode;
+ u_long unique; /* Keep multiple outstanding msgs distinct */
+ u_short pid; /* Common to all */
+ u_short pgid; /* Common to all */
+ struct CodaCred cred; /* Common to all */
+
+ <union "in" of call dependent parts of inputArgs>
+ };
+
+ struct outputArgs {
+ u_long opcode;
+ u_long unique; /* Keep multiple outstanding msgs distinct */
+ u_long result;
+
+ <union "out" of call dependent parts of inputArgs>
+ };
+
+
+
+ Before going on let us elucidate the role of the various fields. The
+ inputArgs start with the opcode which defines the type of service
+ requested from Venus. There are approximately 30 upcalls at present
+ which we will discuss. The unique field labels the inputArg with a
+ unique number which will identify the message uniquely. A process and
+ process group id are passed. Finally the credentials of the caller
+ are included.
+
+ Before delving into the specific calls we need to discuss a variety of
+ data structures shared by the kernel and Venus.
+
+
+
+
+4.1. Data structures shared by the kernel and Venus
+----------------------------------------------------
+
+
+ The CodaCred structure defines a variety of user and group ids as
+ they are set for the calling process. The vuid_t and vgid_t are 32 bit
+ unsigned integers. It also defines group membership in an array. On
+ Unix the CodaCred has proven sufficient to implement good security
+ semantics for Coda but the structure may have to undergo modification
+ for the Windows environment when these mature::
+
+ struct CodaCred {
+ vuid_t cr_uid, cr_euid, cr_suid, cr_fsuid; /* Real, effective, set, fs uid */
+ vgid_t cr_gid, cr_egid, cr_sgid, cr_fsgid; /* same for groups */
+ vgid_t cr_groups[NGROUPS]; /* Group membership for caller */
+ };
+
+
+ .. Note::
+
+ It is questionable if we need CodaCreds in Venus. Finally Venus
+ doesn't know about groups, although it does create files with the
+ default uid/gid. Perhaps the list of group membership is superfluous.
+
+
+ The next item is the fundamental identifier used to identify Coda
+ files, the ViceFid. A fid of a file uniquely defines a file or
+ directory in the Coda filesystem within a cell [1]_::
+
+ typedef struct ViceFid {
+ VolumeId Volume;
+ VnodeId Vnode;
+ Unique_t Unique;
+ } ViceFid;
+
+ .. [1] A cell is agroup of Coda servers acting under the aegis of a single
+ system control machine or SCM. See the Coda Administration manual
+ for a detailed description of the role of the SCM.
+
+ Each of the constituent fields: VolumeId, VnodeId and Unique_t are
+ unsigned 32 bit integers. We envisage that a further field will need
+ to be prefixed to identify the Coda cell; this will probably take the
+ form of a Ipv6 size IP address naming the Coda cell through DNS.
+
+ The next important structure shared between Venus and the kernel is
+ the attributes of the file. The following structure is used to
+ exchange information. It has room for future extensions such as
+ support for device files (currently not present in Coda)::
+
+
+ struct coda_timespec {
+ int64_t tv_sec; /* seconds */
+ long tv_nsec; /* nanoseconds */
+ };
+
+ struct coda_vattr {
+ enum coda_vtype va_type; /* vnode type (for create) */
+ u_short va_mode; /* files access mode and type */
+ short va_nlink; /* number of references to file */
+ vuid_t va_uid; /* owner user id */
+ vgid_t va_gid; /* owner group id */
+ long va_fsid; /* file system id (dev for now) */
+ long va_fileid; /* file id */
+ u_quad_t va_size; /* file size in bytes */
+ long va_blocksize; /* blocksize preferred for i/o */
+ struct coda_timespec va_atime; /* time of last access */
+ struct coda_timespec va_mtime; /* time of last modification */
+ struct coda_timespec va_ctime; /* time file changed */
+ u_long va_gen; /* generation number of file */
+ u_long va_flags; /* flags defined for file */
+ dev_t va_rdev; /* device special file represents */
+ u_quad_t va_bytes; /* bytes of disk space held by file */
+ u_quad_t va_filerev; /* file modification number */
+ u_int va_vaflags; /* operations flags, see below */
+ long va_spare; /* remain quad aligned */
+ };
+
+
+4.2. The pioctl interface
+--------------------------
+
+
+ Coda specific requests can be made by application through the pioctl
+ interface. The pioctl is implemented as an ordinary ioctl on a
+ fictitious file /coda/.CONTROL. The pioctl call opens this file, gets
+ a file handle and makes the ioctl call. Finally it closes the file.
+
+ The kernel involvement in this is limited to providing the facility to
+ open and close and pass the ioctl message and to verify that a path in
+ the pioctl data buffers is a file in a Coda filesystem.
+
+ The kernel is handed a data packet of the form::
+
+ struct {
+ const char *path;
+ struct ViceIoctl vidata;
+ int follow;
+ } data;
+
+
+
+ where::
+
+
+ struct ViceIoctl {
+ caddr_t in, out; /* Data to be transferred in, or out */
+ short in_size; /* Size of input buffer <= 2K */
+ short out_size; /* Maximum size of output buffer, <= 2K */
+ };
+
+
+
+ The path must be a Coda file, otherwise the ioctl upcall will not be
+ made.
+
+ .. Note:: The data structures and code are a mess. We need to clean this up.
+
+
+**We now proceed to document the individual calls**:
+
+
+4.3. root
+----------
+
+
+ Arguments
+ in
+
+ empty
+
+ out::
+
+ struct cfs_root_out {
+ ViceFid VFid;
+ } cfs_root;
+
+
+
+ Description
+ This call is made to Venus during the initialization of
+ the Coda filesystem. If the result is zero, the cfs_root structure
+ contains the ViceFid of the root of the Coda filesystem. If a non-zero
+ result is generated, its value is a platform dependent error code
+ indicating the difficulty Venus encountered in locating the root of
+ the Coda filesystem.
+
+4.4. lookup
+------------
+
+
+ Summary
+ Find the ViceFid and type of an object in a directory if it exists.
+
+ Arguments
+ in::
+
+ struct cfs_lookup_in {
+ ViceFid VFid;
+ char *name; /* Place holder for data. */
+ } cfs_lookup;
+
+
+
+ out::
+
+ struct cfs_lookup_out {
+ ViceFid VFid;
+ int vtype;
+ } cfs_lookup;
+
+
+
+ Description
+ This call is made to determine the ViceFid and filetype of
+ a directory entry. The directory entry requested carries name name
+ and Venus will search the directory identified by cfs_lookup_in.VFid.
+ The result may indicate that the name does not exist, or that
+ difficulty was encountered in finding it (e.g. due to disconnection).
+ If the result is zero, the field cfs_lookup_out.VFid contains the
+ targets ViceFid and cfs_lookup_out.vtype the coda_vtype giving the
+ type of object the name designates.
+
+ The name of the object is an 8 bit character string of maximum length
+ CFS_MAXNAMLEN, currently set to 256 (including a 0 terminator.)
+
+ It is extremely important to realize that Venus bitwise ors the field
+ cfs_lookup.vtype with CFS_NOCACHE to indicate that the object should
+ not be put in the kernel name cache.
+
+ .. Note::
+
+ The type of the vtype is currently wrong. It should be
+ coda_vtype. Linux does not take note of CFS_NOCACHE. It should.
+
+
+4.5. getattr
+-------------
+
+
+ Summary Get the attributes of a file.
+
+ Arguments
+ in::
+
+ struct cfs_getattr_in {
+ ViceFid VFid;
+ struct coda_vattr attr; /* XXXXX */
+ } cfs_getattr;
+
+
+
+ out::
+
+ struct cfs_getattr_out {
+ struct coda_vattr attr;
+ } cfs_getattr;
+
+
+
+ Description
+ This call returns the attributes of the file identified by fid.
+
+ Errors
+ Errors can occur if the object with fid does not exist, is
+ unaccessible or if the caller does not have permission to fetch
+ attributes.
+
+ .. Note::
+
+ Many kernel FS drivers (Linux, NT and Windows 95) need to acquire
+ the attributes as well as the Fid for the instantiation of an internal
+ "inode" or "FileHandle". A significant improvement in performance on
+ such systems could be made by combining the lookup and getattr calls
+ both at the Venus/kernel interaction level and at the RPC level.
+
+ The vattr structure included in the input arguments is superfluous and
+ should be removed.
+
+
+4.6. setattr
+-------------
+
+
+ Summary
+ Set the attributes of a file.
+
+ Arguments
+ in::
+
+ struct cfs_setattr_in {
+ ViceFid VFid;
+ struct coda_vattr attr;
+ } cfs_setattr;
+
+
+
+
+ out
+
+ empty
+
+ Description
+ The structure attr is filled with attributes to be changed
+ in BSD style. Attributes not to be changed are set to -1, apart from
+ vtype which is set to VNON. Other are set to the value to be assigned.
+ The only attributes which the FS driver may request to change are the
+ mode, owner, groupid, atime, mtime and ctime. The return value
+ indicates success or failure.
+
+ Errors
+ A variety of errors can occur. The object may not exist, may
+ be inaccessible, or permission may not be granted by Venus.
+
+
+4.7. access
+------------
+
+
+ Arguments
+ in::
+
+ struct cfs_access_in {
+ ViceFid VFid;
+ int flags;
+ } cfs_access;
+
+
+
+ out
+
+ empty
+
+ Description
+ Verify if access to the object identified by VFid for
+ operations described by flags is permitted. The result indicates if
+ access will be granted. It is important to remember that Coda uses
+ ACLs to enforce protection and that ultimately the servers, not the
+ clients enforce the security of the system. The result of this call
+ will depend on whether a token is held by the user.
+
+ Errors
+ The object may not exist, or the ACL describing the protection
+ may not be accessible.
+
+
+4.8. create
+------------
+
+
+ Summary
+ Invoked to create a file
+
+ Arguments
+ in::
+
+ struct cfs_create_in {
+ ViceFid VFid;
+ struct coda_vattr attr;
+ int excl;
+ int mode;
+ char *name; /* Place holder for data. */
+ } cfs_create;
+
+
+
+
+ out::
+
+ struct cfs_create_out {
+ ViceFid VFid;
+ struct coda_vattr attr;
+ } cfs_create;
+
+
+
+ Description
+ This upcall is invoked to request creation of a file.
+ The file will be created in the directory identified by VFid, its name
+ will be name, and the mode will be mode. If excl is set an error will
+ be returned if the file already exists. If the size field in attr is
+ set to zero the file will be truncated. The uid and gid of the file
+ are set by converting the CodaCred to a uid using a macro CRTOUID
+ (this macro is platform dependent). Upon success the VFid and
+ attributes of the file are returned. The Coda FS Driver will normally
+ instantiate a vnode, inode or file handle at kernel level for the new
+ object.
+
+
+ Errors
+ A variety of errors can occur. Permissions may be insufficient.
+ If the object exists and is not a file the error EISDIR is returned
+ under Unix.
+
+ .. Note::
+
+ The packing of parameters is very inefficient and appears to
+ indicate confusion between the system call creat and the VFS operation
+ create. The VFS operation create is only called to create new objects.
+ This create call differs from the Unix one in that it is not invoked
+ to return a file descriptor. The truncate and exclusive options,
+ together with the mode, could simply be part of the mode as it is
+ under Unix. There should be no flags argument; this is used in open
+ (2) to return a file descriptor for READ or WRITE mode.
+
+ The attributes of the directory should be returned too, since the size
+ and mtime changed.
+
+
+4.9. mkdir
+-----------
+
+
+ Summary
+ Create a new directory.
+
+ Arguments
+ in::
+
+ struct cfs_mkdir_in {
+ ViceFid VFid;
+ struct coda_vattr attr;
+ char *name; /* Place holder for data. */
+ } cfs_mkdir;
+
+
+
+ out::
+
+ struct cfs_mkdir_out {
+ ViceFid VFid;
+ struct coda_vattr attr;
+ } cfs_mkdir;
+
+
+
+
+ Description
+ This call is similar to create but creates a directory.
+ Only the mode field in the input parameters is used for creation.
+ Upon successful creation, the attr returned contains the attributes of
+ the new directory.
+
+ Errors
+ As for create.
+
+ .. Note::
+
+ The input parameter should be changed to mode instead of
+ attributes.
+
+ The attributes of the parent should be returned since the size and
+ mtime changes.
+
+
+4.10. link
+-----------
+
+
+ Summary
+ Create a link to an existing file.
+
+ Arguments
+ in::
+
+ struct cfs_link_in {
+ ViceFid sourceFid; /* cnode to link *to* */
+ ViceFid destFid; /* Directory in which to place link */
+ char *tname; /* Place holder for data. */
+ } cfs_link;
+
+
+
+ out
+
+ empty
+
+ Description
+ This call creates a link to the sourceFid in the directory
+ identified by destFid with name tname. The source must reside in the
+ target's parent, i.e. the source must be have parent destFid, i.e. Coda
+ does not support cross directory hard links. Only the return value is
+ relevant. It indicates success or the type of failure.
+
+ Errors
+ The usual errors can occur.
+
+
+4.11. symlink
+--------------
+
+
+ Summary
+ create a symbolic link
+
+ Arguments
+ in::
+
+ struct cfs_symlink_in {
+ ViceFid VFid; /* Directory to put symlink in */
+ char *srcname;
+ struct coda_vattr attr;
+ char *tname;
+ } cfs_symlink;
+
+
+
+ out
+
+ none
+
+ Description
+ Create a symbolic link. The link is to be placed in the
+ directory identified by VFid and named tname. It should point to the
+ pathname srcname. The attributes of the newly created object are to
+ be set to attr.
+
+ .. Note::
+
+ The attributes of the target directory should be returned since
+ its size changed.
+
+
+4.12. remove
+-------------
+
+
+ Summary
+ Remove a file
+
+ Arguments
+ in::
+
+ struct cfs_remove_in {
+ ViceFid VFid;
+ char *name; /* Place holder for data. */
+ } cfs_remove;
+
+
+
+ out
+
+ none
+
+ Description
+ Remove file named cfs_remove_in.name in directory
+ identified by VFid.
+
+
+ .. Note::
+
+ The attributes of the directory should be returned since its
+ mtime and size may change.
+
+
+4.13. rmdir
+------------
+
+
+ Summary
+ Remove a directory
+
+ Arguments
+ in::
+
+ struct cfs_rmdir_in {
+ ViceFid VFid;
+ char *name; /* Place holder for data. */
+ } cfs_rmdir;
+
+
+
+ out
+
+ none
+
+ Description
+ Remove the directory with name name from the directory
+ identified by VFid.
+
+ .. Note:: The attributes of the parent directory should be returned since
+ its mtime and size may change.
+
+
+4.14. readlink
+---------------
+
+
+ Summary
+ Read the value of a symbolic link.
+
+ Arguments
+ in::
+
+ struct cfs_readlink_in {
+ ViceFid VFid;
+ } cfs_readlink;
+
+
+
+ out::
+
+ struct cfs_readlink_out {
+ int count;
+ caddr_t data; /* Place holder for data. */
+ } cfs_readlink;
+
+
+
+ Description
+ This routine reads the contents of symbolic link
+ identified by VFid into the buffer data. The buffer data must be able
+ to hold any name up to CFS_MAXNAMLEN (PATH or NAM??).
+
+ Errors
+ No unusual errors.
+
+
+4.15. open
+-----------
+
+
+ Summary
+ Open a file.
+
+ Arguments
+ in::
+
+ struct cfs_open_in {
+ ViceFid VFid;
+ int flags;
+ } cfs_open;
+
+
+
+ out::
+
+ struct cfs_open_out {
+ dev_t dev;
+ ino_t inode;
+ } cfs_open;
+
+
+
+ Description
+ This request asks Venus to place the file identified by
+ VFid in its cache and to note that the calling process wishes to open
+ it with flags as in open(2). The return value to the kernel differs
+ for Unix and Windows systems. For Unix systems the Coda FS Driver is
+ informed of the device and inode number of the container file in the
+ fields dev and inode. For Windows the path of the container file is
+ returned to the kernel.
+
+
+ .. Note::
+
+ Currently the cfs_open_out structure is not properly adapted to
+ deal with the Windows case. It might be best to implement two
+ upcalls, one to open aiming at a container file name, the other at a
+ container file inode.
+
+
+4.16. close
+------------
+
+
+ Summary
+ Close a file, update it on the servers.
+
+ Arguments
+ in::
+
+ struct cfs_close_in {
+ ViceFid VFid;
+ int flags;
+ } cfs_close;
+
+
+
+ out
+
+ none
+
+ Description
+ Close the file identified by VFid.
+
+ .. Note::
+
+ The flags argument is bogus and not used. However, Venus' code
+ has room to deal with an execp input field, probably this field should
+ be used to inform Venus that the file was closed but is still memory
+ mapped for execution. There are comments about fetching versus not
+ fetching the data in Venus vproc_vfscalls. This seems silly. If a
+ file is being closed, the data in the container file is to be the new
+ data. Here again the execp flag might be in play to create confusion:
+ currently Venus might think a file can be flushed from the cache when
+ it is still memory mapped. This needs to be understood.
+
+
+4.17. ioctl
+------------
+
+
+ Summary
+ Do an ioctl on a file. This includes the pioctl interface.
+
+ Arguments
+ in::
+
+ struct cfs_ioctl_in {
+ ViceFid VFid;
+ int cmd;
+ int len;
+ int rwflag;
+ char *data; /* Place holder for data. */
+ } cfs_ioctl;
+
+
+
+ out::
+
+
+ struct cfs_ioctl_out {
+ int len;
+ caddr_t data; /* Place holder for data. */
+ } cfs_ioctl;
+
+
+
+ Description
+ Do an ioctl operation on a file. The command, len and
+ data arguments are filled as usual. flags is not used by Venus.
+
+ .. Note::
+
+ Another bogus parameter. flags is not used. What is the
+ business about PREFETCHING in the Venus code?
+
+
+
+4.18. rename
+-------------
+
+
+ Summary
+ Rename a fid.
+
+ Arguments
+ in::
+
+ struct cfs_rename_in {
+ ViceFid sourceFid;
+ char *srcname;
+ ViceFid destFid;
+ char *destname;
+ } cfs_rename;
+
+
+
+ out
+
+ none
+
+ Description
+ Rename the object with name srcname in directory
+ sourceFid to destname in destFid. It is important that the names
+ srcname and destname are 0 terminated strings. Strings in Unix
+ kernels are not always null terminated.
+
+
+4.19. readdir
+--------------
+
+
+ Summary
+ Read directory entries.
+
+ Arguments
+ in::
+
+ struct cfs_readdir_in {
+ ViceFid VFid;
+ int count;
+ int offset;
+ } cfs_readdir;
+
+
+
+
+ out::
+
+ struct cfs_readdir_out {
+ int size;
+ caddr_t data; /* Place holder for data. */
+ } cfs_readdir;
+
+
+
+ Description
+ Read directory entries from VFid starting at offset and
+ read at most count bytes. Returns the data in data and returns
+ the size in size.
+
+
+ .. Note::
+
+ This call is not used. Readdir operations exploit container
+ files. We will re-evaluate this during the directory revamp which is
+ about to take place.
+
+
+4.20. vget
+-----------
+
+
+ Summary
+ instructs Venus to do an FSDB->Get.
+
+ Arguments
+ in::
+
+ struct cfs_vget_in {
+ ViceFid VFid;
+ } cfs_vget;
+
+
+
+ out::
+
+ struct cfs_vget_out {
+ ViceFid VFid;
+ int vtype;
+ } cfs_vget;
+
+
+
+ Description
+ This upcall asks Venus to do a get operation on an fsobj
+ labelled by VFid.
+
+ .. Note::
+
+ This operation is not used. However, it is extremely useful
+ since it can be used to deal with read/write memory mapped files.
+ These can be "pinned" in the Venus cache using vget and released with
+ inactive.
+
+
+4.21. fsync
+------------
+
+
+ Summary
+ Tell Venus to update the RVM attributes of a file.
+
+ Arguments
+ in::
+
+ struct cfs_fsync_in {
+ ViceFid VFid;
+ } cfs_fsync;
+
+
+
+ out
+
+ none
+
+ Description
+ Ask Venus to update RVM attributes of object VFid. This
+ should be called as part of kernel level fsync type calls. The
+ result indicates if the syncing was successful.
+
+ .. Note:: Linux does not implement this call. It should.
+
+
+4.22. inactive
+---------------
+
+
+ Summary
+ Tell Venus a vnode is no longer in use.
+
+ Arguments
+ in::
+
+ struct cfs_inactive_in {
+ ViceFid VFid;
+ } cfs_inactive;
+
+
+
+ out
+
+ none
+
+ Description
+ This operation returns EOPNOTSUPP.
+
+ .. Note:: This should perhaps be removed.
+
+
+4.23. rdwr
+-----------
+
+
+ Summary
+ Read or write from a file
+
+ Arguments
+ in::
+
+ struct cfs_rdwr_in {
+ ViceFid VFid;
+ int rwflag;
+ int count;
+ int offset;
+ int ioflag;
+ caddr_t data; /* Place holder for data. */
+ } cfs_rdwr;
+
+
+
+
+ out::
+
+ struct cfs_rdwr_out {
+ int rwflag;
+ int count;
+ caddr_t data; /* Place holder for data. */
+ } cfs_rdwr;
+
+
+
+ Description
+ This upcall asks Venus to read or write from a file.
+
+
+ .. Note::
+
+ It should be removed since it is against the Coda philosophy that
+ read/write operations never reach Venus. I have been told the
+ operation does not work. It is not currently used.
+
+
+
+4.24. odymount
+---------------
+
+
+ Summary
+ Allows mounting multiple Coda "filesystems" on one Unix mount point.
+
+ Arguments
+ in::
+
+ struct ody_mount_in {
+ char *name; /* Place holder for data. */
+ } ody_mount;
+
+
+
+ out::
+
+ struct ody_mount_out {
+ ViceFid VFid;
+ } ody_mount;
+
+
+
+ Description
+ Asks Venus to return the rootfid of a Coda system named
+ name. The fid is returned in VFid.
+
+ .. Note::
+
+ This call was used by David for dynamic sets. It should be
+ removed since it causes a jungle of pointers in the VFS mounting area.
+ It is not used by Coda proper. Call is not implemented by Venus.
+
+
+4.25. ody_lookup
+-----------------
+
+
+ Summary
+ Looks up something.
+
+ Arguments
+ in
+
+ irrelevant
+

+
+
+ Summary
+ expands something in a dynamic set.
+
+ Arguments
+ in
+

+
+
+4.27. prefetch
+---------------
+
+
+ Summary
+ Prefetch a dynamic set.
+
+ Arguments
+
+ in
+
+ Not documented.
+
+ out
+
+ Not documented.
+
+ Description
+ Venus worker.cc has support for this call, although it is
+ noted that it doesn't work. Not surprising, since the kernel does not
+ have support for it. (ODY_PREFETCH is not a defined operation).
+
+
+ .. Note:: Gut it. It isn't working and isn't used by Coda.
+
+
+
+4.28. signal
+-------------
+
+
+ Summary
+ Send Venus a signal about an upcall.
+
+ Arguments
+ in
+
+ none
+
+ out
+
+ not applicable.
+
+ Description
+ This is an out-of-band upcall to Venus to inform Venus
+ that the calling process received a signal after Venus read the
+ message from the input queue. Venus is supposed to clean up the
+ operation.
+
+ Errors
+ No reply is given.
+
+ .. Note::
+
+ We need to better understand what Venus needs to clean up and if
+ it is doing this correctly. Also we need to handle multiple upcall
+ per system call situations correctly. It would be important to know
+ what state changes in Venus take place after an upcall for which the
+ kernel is responsible for notifying Venus to clean up (e.g. open
+ definitely is such a state change, but many others are maybe not).
+
+
+5. The minicache and downcalls
+===============================
+
+
+ The Coda FS Driver can cache results of lookup and access upcalls, to
+ limit the frequency of upcalls. Upcalls carry a price since a process
+ context switch needs to take place. The counterpart of caching the
+ information is that Venus will notify the FS Driver that cached
+ entries must be flushed or renamed.
+
+ The kernel code generally has to maintain a structure which links the
+ internal file handles (called vnodes in BSD, inodes in Linux and
+ FileHandles in Windows) with the ViceFid's which Venus maintains. The
+ reason is that frequent translations back and forth are needed in
+ order to make upcalls and use the results of upcalls. Such linking
+ objects are called cnodes.
+
+ The current minicache implementations have cache entries which record
+ the following:
+
+ 1. the name of the file
+
+ 2. the cnode of the directory containing the object
+
+ 3. a list of CodaCred's for which the lookup is permitted.
+
+ 4. the cnode of the object
+
+ The lookup call in the Coda FS Driver may request the cnode of the
+ desired object from the cache, by passing its name, directory and the
+ CodaCred's of the caller. The cache will return the cnode or indicate
+ that it cannot be found. The Coda FS Driver must be careful to
+ invalidate cache entries when it modifies or removes objects.
+
+ When Venus obtains information that indicates that cache entries are
+ no longer valid, it will make a downcall to the kernel. Downcalls are
+ intercepted by the Coda FS Driver and lead to cache invalidations of
+ the kind described below. The Coda FS Driver does not return an error
+ unless the downcall data could not be read into kernel memory.
+
+
+5.1. INVALIDATE
+----------------
+
+
+ No information is available on this call.
+
+
+5.2. FLUSH
+-----------
+
+
+
+ Arguments
+ None
+
+ Summary
+ Flush the name cache entirely.
+
+ Description
+ Venus issues this call upon startup and when it dies. This
+ is to prevent stale cache information being held. Some operating
+ systems allow the kernel name cache to be switched off dynamically.
+ When this is done, this downcall is made.
+
+
+5.3. PURGEUSER
+---------------
+
+
+ Arguments
+ ::
+
+ struct cfs_purgeuser_out {/* CFS_PURGEUSER is a venus->kernel call */
+ struct CodaCred cred;
+ } cfs_purgeuser;
+
+
+
+ Description
+ Remove all entries in the cache carrying the Cred. This
+ call is issued when tokens for a user expire or are flushed.
+
+
+5.4. ZAPFILE
+-------------
+
+
+ Arguments
+ ::
+
+ struct cfs_zapfile_out { /* CFS_ZAPFILE is a venus->kernel call */
+ ViceFid CodaFid;
+ } cfs_zapfile;
+
+
+
+ Description
+ Remove all entries which have the (dir vnode, name) pair.
+ This is issued as a result of an invalidation of cached attributes of
+ a vnode.
+
+ .. Note::
+
+ Call is not named correctly in NetBSD and Mach. The minicache
+ zapfile routine takes different arguments. Linux does not implement
+ the invalidation of attributes correctly.
+
+
+
+5.5. ZAPDIR
+------------
+
+
+ Arguments
+ ::
+
+ struct cfs_zapdir_out { /* CFS_ZAPDIR is a venus->kernel call */
+ ViceFid CodaFid;
+ } cfs_zapdir;
+
+
+
+ Description
+ Remove all entries in the cache lying in a directory
+ CodaFid, and all children of this directory. This call is issued when
+ Venus receives a callback on the directory.
+
+
+5.6. ZAPVNODE
+--------------
+
+
+
+ Arguments
+ ::
+
+ struct cfs_zapvnode_out { /* CFS_ZAPVNODE is a venus->kernel call */
+ struct CodaCred cred;
+ ViceFid VFid;
+ } cfs_zapvnode;
+
+
+
+ Description
+ Remove all entries in the cache carrying the cred and VFid
+ as in the arguments. This downcall is probably never issued.
+
+
+5.7. PURGEFID
+--------------
+
+
+ Arguments
+ ::
+
+ struct cfs_purgefid_out { /* CFS_PURGEFID is a venus->kernel call */
+ ViceFid CodaFid;
+ } cfs_purgefid;
+
+
+
+ Description
+ Flush the attribute for the file. If it is a dir (odd
+ vnode), purge its children from the namecache and remove the file from the
+ namecache.
+
+
+
+5.8. REPLACE
+-------------
+
+
+ Summary
+ Replace the Fid's for a collection of names.
+
+ Arguments
+ ::
+
+ struct cfs_replace_out { /* cfs_replace is a venus->kernel call */
+ ViceFid NewFid;
+ ViceFid OldFid;
+ } cfs_replace;
+
+
+
+ Description
+ This routine replaces a ViceFid in the name cache with
+ another. It is added to allow Venus during reintegration to replace
+ locally allocated temp fids while disconnected with global fids even
+ when the reference counts on those fids are not zero.
+
+
+6. Initialization and cleanup
+==============================
+
+
+ This section gives brief hints as to desirable features for the Coda
+ FS Driver at startup and upon shutdown or Venus failures. Before
+ entering the discussion it is useful to repeat that the Coda FS Driver
+ maintains the following data:
+
+
+ 1. message queues
+
+ 2. cnodes
+
+ 3. name cache entries
+
+ The name cache entries are entirely private to the driver, so they
+ can easily be manipulated. The message queues will generally have
+ clear points of initialization and destruction. The cnodes are
+ much more delicate. User processes hold reference counts in Coda
+ filesystems and it can be difficult to clean up the cnodes.
+
+ It can expect requests through:
+
+ 1. the message subsystem
+
+ 2. the VFS layer
+
+ 3. pioctl interface
+
+ Currently the pioctl passes through the VFS for Coda so we can
+ treat these similarly.
+
+
+6.1. Requirements
+------------------
+
+
+ The following requirements should be accommodated:
+
+ 1. The message queues should have open and close routines. On Unix
+ the opening of the character devices are such routines.
+
+ - Before opening, no messages can be placed.
+
+ - Opening will remove any old messages still pending.
+
+ - Close will notify any sleeping processes that their upcall cannot
+ be completed.
+
+ - Close will free all memory allocated by the message queues.
+
+
+ 2. At open the namecache shall be initialized to empty state.
+
+ 3. Before the message queues are open, all VFS operations will fail.
+ Fortunately this can be achieved by making sure than mounting the
+ Coda filesystem cannot succeed before opening.
+
+ 4. After closing of the queues, no VFS operations can succeed. Here
+ one needs to be careful, since a few operations (lookup,
+ read/write, readdir) can proceed without upcalls. These must be
+ explicitly blocked.
+
+ 5. Upon closing the namecache shall be flushed and disabled.
+
+ 6. All memory held by cnodes can be freed without relying on upcalls.
+
+ 7. Unmounting the file system can be done without relying on upcalls.
+
+ 8. Mounting the Coda filesystem should fail gracefully if Venus cannot
+ get the rootfid or the attributes of the rootfid. The latter is
+ best implemented by Venus fetching these objects before attempting
+ to mount.
+
+ .. Note::
+
+ NetBSD in particular but also Linux have not implemented the
+ above requirements fully. For smooth operation this needs to be
+ corrected.

- A key component in the Coda Distributed File System is the cache
- manager, _V_e_n_u_s.
-
-
- When processes on a Coda enabled system access files in the Coda
- filesystem, requests are directed at the filesystem layer in the
- operating system. The operating system will communicate with Venus to
- service the request for the process. Venus manages a persistent
- client cache and makes remote procedure calls to Coda file servers and
- related servers (such as authentication servers) to service these
- requests it receives from the operating system. When Venus has
- serviced a request it replies to the operating system with appropriate
- return codes, and other data related to the request. Optionally the
- kernel support for Coda may maintain a minicache of recently processed
- requests to limit the number of interactions with Venus. Venus
- possesses the facility to inform the kernel when elements from its
- minicache are no longer valid.
-
- This document describes precisely this communication between the
- kernel and Venus. The definitions of so called upcalls and downcalls
- will be given with the format of the data they handle. We shall also
- describe the semantic invariants resulting from the calls.
-
- Historically Coda was implemented in a BSD file system in Mach 2.6.
- The interface between the kernel and Venus is very similar to the BSD
- VFS interface. Similar functionality is provided, and the format of
- the parameters and returned data is very similar to the BSD VFS. This
- leads to an almost natural environment for implementing a kernel-level
- filesystem driver for Coda in a BSD system. However, other operating
- systems such as Linux and Windows 95 and NT have virtual filesystem
- with different interfaces.
-
- To implement Coda on these systems some reverse engineering of the
- Venus/Kernel protocol is necessary. Also it came to light that other
- systems could profit significantly from certain small optimizations
- and modifications to the protocol. To facilitate this work as well as
- to make future ports easier, communication between Venus and the
- kernel should be documented in great detail. This is the aim of this
- document.

-
- The service of a request for a Coda file system service originates in
- a process PP which accessing a Coda file. It makes a system call which
- traps to the OS kernel. Examples of such calls trapping to the kernel
- are _r_e_a_d_, _w_r_i_t_e_, _o_p_e_n_, _c_l_o_s_e_, _c_r_e_a_t_e_, _m_k_d_i_r_, _r_m_d_i_r_, _c_h_m_o_d in a Unix
- context. Similar calls exist in the Win32 environment, and are named
- _C_r_e_a_t_e_F_i_l_e_, .
-
- Generally the operating system handles the request in a virtual
- filesystem (VFS) layer, which is named I/O Manager in NT and IFS
- manager in Windows 95. The VFS is responsible for partial processing
- of the request and for locating the specific filesystem(s) which will
- service parts of the request. Usually the information in the path
- assists in locating the correct FS drivers. Sometimes after extensive
- pre-processing, the VFS starts invoking exported routines in the FS
- driver. This is the point where the FS specific processing of the
- request starts, and here the Coda specific kernel code comes into
- play.
-
- The FS layer for Coda must expose and implement several interfaces.
- First and foremost the VFS must be able to make all necessary calls to
- the Coda FS layer, so the Coda FS driver must expose the VFS interface
- as applicable in the operating system. These differ very significantly
- among operating systems, but share features such as facilities to
- read/write and create and remove objects. The Coda FS layer services
- such VFS requests by invoking one or more well defined services
- offered by the cache manager Venus. When the replies from Venus have
- come back to the FS driver, servicing of the VFS call continues and
- finishes with a reply to the kernel's VFS. Finally the VFS layer
- returns to the process.
-
- As a result of this design a basic interface exposed by the FS driver
- must allow Venus to manage message traffic. In particular Venus must
- be able to retrieve and place messages and to be notified of the
- arrival of a new message. The notification must be through a mechanism
- which does not block Venus since Venus must attend to other tasks even
- when no messages are waiting or being processed.
-
-
-
-
-
-
- Interfaces of the Coda FS Driver
-
- Furthermore the FS layer provides for a special path of communication
- between a user process and Venus, called the pioctl interface. The
- pioctl interface is used for Coda specific services, such as
- requesting detailed information about the persistent cache managed by
- Venus. Here the involvement of the kernel is minimal. It identifies
- the calling process and passes the information on to Venus. When
- Venus replies the response is passed back to the caller in unmodified
- form.
-
- Finally Venus allows the kernel FS driver to cache the results from
- certain services. This is done to avoid excessive context switches
- and results in an efficient system. However, Venus may acquire
- information, for example from the network which implies that cached
- information must be flushed or replaced. Venus then makes a downcall
- to the Coda FS layer to request flushes or updates in the cache. The
- kernel FS driver handles such requests synchronously.
-
- Among these interfaces the VFS interface and the facility to place,
- receive and be notified of messages are platform specific. We will
- not go into the calls exported to the VFS layer but we will state the
- requirements of the message exchange mechanism.
-

-
-
-
- At the lowest level the communication between Venus and the FS driver
- proceeds through messages. The synchronization between processes
- requesting Coda file service and Venus relies on blocking and waking
- up processes. The Coda FS driver processes VFS- and pioctl-requests
- on behalf of a process P, creates messages for Venus, awaits replies
- and finally returns to the caller. The implementation of the exchange
- of messages is platform specific, but the semantics have (so far)
- appeared to be generally applicable. Data buffers are created by the
- FS Driver in kernel memory on behalf of P and copied to user memory in
- Venus.
-
- The FS Driver while servicing P makes upcalls to Venus. Such an
- upcall is dispatched to Venus by creating a message structure. The
- structure contains the identification of P, the message sequence
- number, the size of the request and a pointer to the data in kernel
- memory for the request. Since the data buffer is re-used to hold the
- reply from Venus, there is a field for the size of the reply. A flags
- field is used in the message to precisely record the status of the
- message. Additional platform dependent structures involve pointers to
- determine the position of the message on queues and pointers to
- synchronization objects. In the upcall routine the message structure
- is filled in, flags are set to 0, and it is placed on the _p_e_n_d_i_n_g
- queue. The routine calling upcall is responsible for allocating the
- data buffer; its structure will be described in the next section.
-
- A facility must exist to notify Venus that the message has been
- created, and implemented using available synchronization objects in
- the OS. This notification is done in the upcall context of the process
- P. When the message is on the pending queue, process P cannot proceed
- in upcall. The (kernel mode) processing of P in the filesystem
- request routine must be suspended until Venus has replied. Therefore
- the calling thread in P is blocked in upcall. A pointer in the
- message structure will locate the synchronization object on which P is
- sleeping.
-
- Venus detects the notification that a message has arrived, and the FS
- driver allow Venus to retrieve the message with a getmsg_from_kernel
- call. This action finishes in the kernel by putting the message on the
- queue of processing messages and setting flags to READ. Venus is
- passed the contents of the data buffer. The getmsg_from_kernel call
- now returns and Venus processes the request.
-
- At some later point the FS driver receives a message from Venus,
- namely when Venus calls sendmsg_to_kernel. At this moment the Coda FS
- driver looks at the contents of the message and decides if:
-
-
- +o the message is a reply for a suspended thread P. If so it removes
- the message from the processing queue and marks the message as
- WRITTEN. Finally, the FS driver unblocks P (still in the kernel
- mode context of Venus) and the sendmsg_to_kernel call returns to
- Venus. The process P will be scheduled at some point and continues
- processing its upcall with the data buffer replaced with the reply
- from Venus.
-
- +o The message is a _d_o_w_n_c_a_l_l. A downcall is a request from Venus to
- the FS Driver. The FS driver processes the request immediately
- (usually a cache eviction or replacement) and when it finishes
- sendmsg_to_kernel returns.
-
- Now P awakes and continues processing upcall. There are some
- subtleties to take account of. First P will determine if it was woken
- up in upcall by a signal from some other source (for example an
- attempt to terminate P) or as is normally the case by Venus in its
- sendmsg_to_kernel call. In the normal case, the upcall routine will
- deallocate the message structure and return. The FS routine can proceed
- with its processing.
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
- Sleeping and IPC arrangements
-
- In case P is woken up by a signal and not by Venus, it will first look
- at the flags field. If the message is not yet READ, the process P can
- handle its signal without notifying Venus. If Venus has READ, and
- the request should not be processed, P can send Venus a signal message
- to indicate that it should disregard the previous message. Such
- signals are put in the queue at the head, and read first by Venus. If
- the message is already marked as WRITTEN it is too late to stop the
- processing. The VFS routine will now continue. (-- If a VFS request
- involves more than one upcall, this can lead to complicated state, an
- extra field "handle_signals" could be added in the message structure
- to indicate points of no return have been passed.--)

-
- The Unix implementation of this mechanism has been through the
- implementation of a character device associated with Coda. Venus
- retrieves messages by doing a read on the device, replies are sent
- with a write and notification is through the select system call on the
- file descriptor for the device. The process P is kept waiting on an
- interruptible wait queue object.
-
- In Windows NT and the DPMI Windows 95 implementation a DeviceIoControl
- call is used. The DeviceIoControl call is designed to copy buffers
- from user memory to kernel memory with OPCODES. The sendmsg_to_kernel
- is issued as a synchronous call, while the getmsg_from_kernel call is
- asynchronous. Windows EventObjects are used for notification of
- message arrival. The process P is kept waiting on a KernelEvent
- object in NT and a semaphore in Windows 95.

- This section describes the upcalls a Coda FS driver can make to Venus.
- Each of these upcalls make use of two structures: inputArgs and
- outputArgs. In pseudo BNF form the structures take the following
- form:
-
-
- struct inputArgs {
- u_long opcode;

-
-
- Before going on let us elucidate the role of the various fields. The
- inputArgs start with the opcode which defines the type of service
- requested from Venus. There are approximately 30 upcalls at present
- which we will discuss. The unique field labels the inputArg with a
- unique number which will identify the message uniquely. A process and
- process group id are passed. Finally the credentials of the caller
- are included.
-
- Before delving into the specific calls we need to discuss a variety of
- data structures shared by the kernel and Venus.
-

-
-
- The CodaCred structure defines a variety of user and group ids as
- they are set for the calling process. The vuid_t and vgid_t are 32 bit
- unsigned integers. It also defines group membership in an array. On
- Unix the CodaCred has proven sufficient to implement good security
- semantics for Coda but the structure may have to undergo modification
- for the Windows environment when these mature.
-
- struct CodaCred {
- vuid_t cr_uid, cr_euid, cr_suid, cr_fsuid; /* Real, effective, set, fs uid */
- vgid_t cr_gid, cr_egid, cr_sgid, cr_fsgid; /* same for groups */
- vgid_t cr_groups[NGROUPS]; /* Group membership for caller */
- };
-
-
-
- NNOOTTEE It is questionable if we need CodaCreds in Venus. Finally Venus
- doesn't know about groups, although it does create files with the
- default uid/gid. Perhaps the list of group membership is superfluous.
-
-
- The next item is the fundamental identifier used to identify Coda
- files, the ViceFid. A fid of a file uniquely defines a file or
- directory in the Coda filesystem within a _c_e_l_l. (-- A _c_e_l_l is a
- group of Coda servers acting under the aegis of a single system
- control machine or SCM. See the Coda Administration manual for a
- detailed description of the role of the SCM.--)
-
-
- typedef struct ViceFid {
- VolumeId Volume;
- VnodeId Vnode;
- Unique_t Unique;
- } ViceFid;
-
-
-
- Each of the constituent fields: VolumeId, VnodeId and Unique_t are
- unsigned 32 bit integers. We envisage that a further field will need
- to be prefixed to identify the Coda cell; this will probably take the
- form of a Ipv6 size IP address naming the Coda cell through DNS.
-
- The next important structure shared between Venus and the kernel is
- the attributes of the file. The following structure is used to
- exchange information. It has room for future extensions such as
- support for device files (currently not present in Coda).

-
- Coda specific requests can be made by application through the pioctl
- interface. The pioctl is implemented as an ordinary ioctl on a
- fictitious file /coda/.CONTROL. The pioctl call opens this file, gets
- a file handle and makes the ioctl call. Finally it closes the file.
-
- The kernel involvement in this is limited to providing the facility to
- open and close and pass the ioctl message _a_n_d to verify that a path in
- the pioctl data buffers is a file in a Coda filesystem.
-
- The kernel is handed a data packet of the form:
-
- struct {
- const char *path;
- struct ViceIoctl vidata;
- int follow;
- } data;
-
-
-
- where
-
-
- struct ViceIoctl {
- caddr_t in, out; /* Data to be transferred in, or out */
- short in_size; /* Size of input buffer <= 2K */
- short out_size; /* Maximum size of output buffer, <= 2K */
- };
-
-
-
- The path must be a Coda file, otherwise the ioctl upcall will not be
- made.
-
- NNOOTTEE The data structures and code are a mess. We need to clean this
- up.
-

- and Venus will search the directory identified by cfs_lookup_in.VFid.
- The result may indicate that the name does not exist, or that

- If the result is zero, the field cfs_lookup_out.VFid contains the
- targets ViceFid and cfs_lookup_out.vtype the coda_vtype giving the
- type of object the name designates.
-
- The name of the object is an 8 bit character string of maximum length
- CFS_MAXNAMLEN, currently set to 256 (including a 0 terminator.)
-
- It is extremely important to realize that Venus bitwise ors the field
- cfs_lookup.vtype with CFS_NOCACHE to indicate that the object should
- not be put in the kernel name cache.

- coda_vtype. Linux does not take note of CFS_NOCACHE. It should.

- be returned if the file already exists. If the size field in attr is
- set to zero the file will be truncated. The uid and gid of the file
- are set by converting the CodaCred to a uid using a macro CRTOUID
- (this macro is platform dependent). Upon success the VFid and

-
- The Coda FS Driver can cache results of lookup and access upcalls, to
- limit the frequency of upcalls. Upcalls carry a price since a process
- context switch needs to take place. The counterpart of caching the
- information is that Venus will notify the FS Driver that cached
- entries must be flushed or renamed.
-
- The kernel code generally has to maintain a structure which links the
- internal file handles (called vnodes in BSD, inodes in Linux and
- FileHandles in Windows) with the ViceFid's which Venus maintains. The
- reason is that frequent translations back and forth are needed in
- order to make upcalls and use the results of upcalls. Such linking
- objects are called ccnnooddeess.
-
- The current minicache implementations have cache entries which record
- the following:
-
- 1. the name of the file
-
- 2. the cnode of the directory containing the object
-
- 3. a list of CodaCred's for which the lookup is permitted.
-
- 4. the cnode of the object
-
- The lookup call in the Coda FS Driver may request the cnode of the
- desired object from the cache, by passing its name, directory and the
- CodaCred's of the caller. The cache will return the cnode or indicate
- that it cannot be found. The Coda FS Driver must be careful to
- invalidate cache entries when it modifies or removes objects.
-
- When Venus obtains information that indicates that cache entries are
- no longer valid, it will make a downcall to the kernel. Downcalls are
- intercepted by the Coda FS Driver and lead to cache invalidations of
- the kind described below. The Coda FS Driver does not return an error
- unless the downcall data could not be read into kernel memory.

- This section gives brief hints as to desirable features for the Coda
- FS Driver at startup and upon shutdown or Venus failures. Before
- entering the discussion it is useful to repeat that the Coda FS Driver
- maintains the following data:
-
-
- 1. message queues
-
- 2. cnodes
-
- 3. name cache entries
-
- The name cache entries are entirely private to the driver, so they
- can easily be manipulated. The message queues will generally have
- clear points of initialization and destruction. The cnodes are
- much more delicate. User processes hold reference counts in Coda
- filesystems and it can be difficult to clean up the cnodes.
-
- It can expect requests through:
-
- 1. the message subsystem
-
- 2. the VFS layer
-
- 3. pioctl interface
-
- Currently the _p_i_o_c_t_l passes through the VFS for Coda so we can
- treat these similarly.
-
-
- 66..11.. RReeqquuiirreemmeennttss
-
-
- The following requirements should be accommodated:
-
- 1. The message queues should have open and close routines. On Unix
- the opening of the character devices are such routines.
-
- +o Before opening, no messages can be placed.
-
- +o Opening will remove any old messages still pending.
-
- +o Close will notify any sleeping processes that their upcall cannot
- be completed.
-
- +o Close will free all memory allocated by the message queues.
-
-
- 2. At open the namecache shall be initialized to empty state.
-
- 3. Before the message queues are open, all VFS operations will fail.
- Fortunately this can be achieved by making sure than mounting the
- Coda filesystem cannot succeed before opening.
-
- 4. After closing of the queues, no VFS operations can succeed. Here
- one needs to be careful, since a few operations (lookup,
- read/write, readdir) can proceed without upcalls. These must be
- explicitly blocked.
-
- 5. Upon closing the namecache shall be flushed and disabled.
-
- 6. All memory held by cnodes can be freed without relying on upcalls.
-
- 7. Unmounting the file system can be done without relying on upcalls.
-
- 8. Mounting the Coda filesystem should fail gracefully if Venus cannot
- get the rootfid or the attributes of the rootfid. The latter is
- best implemented by Venus fetching these objects before attempting
- to mount.
-
- NNOOTTEE NetBSD in particular but also Linux have not implemented the
- above requirements fully. For smooth operation this needs to be
- corrected.

+
+Currently 3 filesystems support DAX: ext2, ext4 and xfs. Enabling DAX on them

+
+Enabling DAX on ext4 and ext2
+-----------------------------
+
+When mounting the filesystem, use the "-o dax" option on the command line or
+add 'dax' to the options in /etc/fstab. This works to enable DAX on all files
+within the filesystem. It is equivalent to the '-o dax=always' behavior below.
+
+
+Enabling DAX on xfs
+-------------------
+
+Summary
+-------
+
+ 1. There exists an in-kernel file access mode flag S_DAX that corresponds to
+ the statx flag STATX_ATTR_DAX. See the manpage for statx(2) for details
+ about this access mode.
+
+ 2. There exists a persistent flag FS_XFLAG_DAX that can be applied to regular
+ files and directories. This advisory flag can be set or cleared at any
+ time, but doing so does not immediately affect the S_DAX state.
+
+ 3. If the persistent FS_XFLAG_DAX flag is set on a directory, this flag will
+ be inherited by all regular files and subdirectories that are subsequently
+ created in this directory. Files and subdirectories that exist at the time
+ this flag is set or cleared on the parent directory are not modified by
+ this modification of the parent directory.
+
+ 4. There exist dax mount options which can override FS_XFLAG_DAX in the
+ setting of the S_DAX flag. Given underlying storage which supports DAX the
+ following hold:
+
+ "-o dax=inode" means "follow FS_XFLAG_DAX" and is the default.
+
+ "-o dax=never" means "never set S_DAX, ignore FS_XFLAG_DAX."
+
+ "-o dax=always" means "always set S_DAX ignore FS_XFLAG_DAX."
+
+ "-o dax" is a legacy option which is an alias for "dax=always".
+ This may be removed in the future so "-o dax=always" is
+ the preferred method for specifying this behavior.
+
+ NOTE: Modifications to and the inheritance behavior of FS_XFLAG_DAX remain
+ the same even when the filesystem is mounted with a dax option. However,
+ in-core inode state (S_DAX) will be overridden until the filesystem is
+ remounted with dax=inode and the inode is evicted from kernel memory.
+
+ 5. The S_DAX policy can be changed via:
+
+ a) Setting the parent directory FS_XFLAG_DAX as needed before files are
+ created
+
+ b) Setting the appropriate dax="foo" mount option
+
+ c) Changing the FS_XFLAG_DAX flag on existing regular files and
+ directories. This has runtime constraints and limitations that are
+ described in 6) below.
+
+ 6. When changing the S_DAX policy via toggling the persistent FS_XFLAG_DAX flag,
+ the change in behaviour for existing regular files may not occur
+ immediately. If the change must take effect immediately, the administrator
+ needs to:
+
+ a) stop the application so there are no active references to the data set
+ the policy change will affect
+
+ b) evict the data set from kernel caches so it will be re-instantiated when
+ the application is restarted. This can be achieved by:
+
+ i. drop-caches
+ ii. a filesystem unmount and mount cycle
+ iii. a system reboot
+
+
+Details
+-------
+
+There are 2 per-file dax flags. One is a persistent inode setting (FS_XFLAG_DAX)
+and the other is a volatile flag indicating the active state of the feature
+(S_DAX).
+
+FS_XFLAG_DAX is preserved within the filesystem. This persistent config
+setting can be set, cleared and/or queried using the FS_IOC_FS[GS]ETXATTR ioctl
+(see ioctl_xfs_fsgetxattr(2)) or an utility such as 'xfs_io'.
+
+New files and directories automatically inherit FS_XFLAG_DAX from
+their parent directory _when_ _created_. Therefore, setting FS_XFLAG_DAX at
+directory creation time can be used to set a default behavior for an entire
+sub-tree.
+
+To clarify inheritance, here are 3 examples:
+
+Example A:
+
+mkdir -p a/b/c
+xfs_io -c 'chattr +x' a
+mkdir a/b/c/d
+mkdir a/e
+
+ dax: a,e
+ no dax: b,c,d
+
+Example B:
+
+mkdir a
+xfs_io -c 'chattr +x' a
+mkdir -p a/b/c/d
+
+ dax: a,b,c,d
+ no dax:
+
+Example C:
+
+mkdir -p a/b/c
+xfs_io -c 'chattr +x' c
+mkdir a/b/c/d
+
+ dax: c,d
+ no dax: a,b
+
+
+The current enabled state (S_DAX) is set when a file inode is instantiated in
+memory by the kernel. It is set based on the underlying media support, the
+value of FS_XFLAG_DAX and the filesystem's dax mount option.
+
+statx can be used to query S_DAX. NOTE that only regular files will ever have
+S_DAX set and therefore statx will never indicate that S_DAX is set on
+directories.
+
+Setting the FS_XFLAG_DAX flag (specifically or through inheritance) occurs even
+if the underlying media does not support dax and/or the filesystem is
+overridden with a mount option.

+and their indicies allocated in one mount are independent from ptys
+and their indicies in all other mounts.
+
+All mounts of the devpts filesystem now create a ``/dev/pts/ptmx`` node
+with permissions ``0000``.
+
+To retain backwards compatibility the a ptmx device node (aka any node
+created with ``mknod name c 5 2``) when opened will look for an instance
+of devpts under the name ``pts`` in the same directory as the ptmx device
+node.
+
+As an option instead of placing a ``/dev/ptmx`` device node at ``/dev/ptmx``
+it is possible to place a symlink to ``/dev/pts/ptmx`` at ``/dev/ptmx`` or
+to bind mount ``/dev/ptx/ptmx`` to ``/dev/ptmx``. If you opt for using
+the devpts filesystem in this manner devpts should be mounted with
+the ``ptmxmode=0666``, or ``chmod 0666 /dev/pts/ptmx`` should be called.

+Total count of pty pairs in all instances is limited by sysctls::

+ kernel.pty.max = 4096 - global limit
+ kernel.pty.reserve = 1024 - reserved for filesystems mounted from the initial mount namespace
+ kernel.pty.nr - current count of ptys
+
+Per-instance limit could be set by adding mount option ``max=<count>``.
+
+This feature was added in kernel 3.4 together with
+``sysctl kernel.pty.reserve``.

+ spu_create - create a new spu context
+
+
+Synopsis
+========
+
+ ::
+
+ #include <sys/types.h>
+ #include <sys/spu.h>
+
+ int spu_create(const char *pathname, int flags, mode_t mode);
+
+Description
+===========
+ The spu_create system call is used on PowerPC machines that implement
+ the Cell Broadband Engine Architecture in order to access Synergistic
+ Processor Units (SPUs). It creates a new logical context for an SPU in
+ pathname and returns a handle to associated with it. pathname must
+ point to a non-existing directory in the mount point of the SPU file
+ system (spufs). When spu_create is successful, a directory gets cre-
+ ated on pathname and it is populated with files.
+
+ The returned file handle can only be passed to spu_run(2) or closed,
+ other operations are not defined on it. When it is closed, all associ-
+ ated directory entries in spufs are removed. When the last file handle
+ pointing either inside of the context directory or to this file
+ descriptor is closed, the logical SPU context is destroyed.
+
+ The parameter flags can be zero or any bitwise or'd combination of the
+ following constants:
+
+ SPU_RAWIO
+ Allow mapping of some of the hardware registers of the SPU into
+ user space. This flag requires the CAP_SYS_RAWIO capability, see
+ capabilities(7).
+
+ The mode parameter specifies the permissions used for creating the new
+ directory in spufs. mode is modified with the user's umask(2) value
+ and then used for both the directory and the files contained in it. The
+ file permissions mask out some more bits of mode because they typically
+ support only read or write access. See stat(2) for a full list of the
+ possible mode values.
+
+
+Return Value
+============
+ spu_create returns a new file descriptor. It may return -1 to indicate
+ an error condition and set errno to one of the error codes listed
+ below.
+
+
+Errors
+======
+ EACCES
+ The current user does not have write access on the spufs mount
+ point.
+
+ EEXIST An SPU context already exists at the given path name.
+
+ EFAULT pathname is not a valid string pointer in the current address
+ space.
+
+ EINVAL pathname is not a directory in the spufs mount point.
+
+ ELOOP Too many symlinks were found while resolving pathname.
+
+ EMFILE The process has reached its maximum open file limit.
+
+ ENAMETOOLONG
+ pathname was too long.
+
+ ENFILE The system has reached the global open file limit.
+
+ ENOENT Part of pathname could not be resolved.
+
+ ENOMEM The kernel could not allocate all resources required.
+
+ ENOSPC There are not enough SPU resources available to create a new
+ context or the user specific limit for the number of SPU con-
+ texts has been reached.
+
+ ENOSYS the functionality is not provided by the current system, because
+ either the hardware does not provide SPUs or the spufs module is
+ not loaded.
+
+ ENOTDIR
+ A part of pathname is not a directory.
+
+
+
+Notes
+=====
+ spu_create is meant to be used from libraries that implement a more
+ abstract interface to SPUs, not to be used from regular applications.
+ See http://www.bsc.es/projects/deepcomputing/linuxoncell/ for the rec-
+ ommended libraries.
+
+
+Files
+=====
+ pathname must point to a location beneath the mount point of spufs. By
+ convention, it gets mounted in /spu.

+
+
+Synopsis
+========
+
+ ::
+
+ #include <sys/spu.h>
+
+ int spu_run(int fd, unsigned int *npc, unsigned int *event);
+
+Description
+===========
+ The spu_run system call is used on PowerPC machines that implement the
+ Cell Broadband Engine Architecture in order to access Synergistic Pro-
+ cessor Units (SPUs). It uses the fd that was returned from spu_cre-
+ ate(2) to address a specific SPU context. When the context gets sched-
+ uled to a physical SPU, it starts execution at the instruction pointer
+ passed in npc.
+
+ Execution of SPU code happens synchronously, meaning that spu_run does
+ not return while the SPU is still running. If there is a need to exe-
+ cute SPU code in parallel with other code on either the main CPU or
+ other SPUs, you need to create a new thread of execution first, e.g.
+ using the pthread_create(3) call.
+
+ When spu_run returns, the current value of the SPU instruction pointer
+ is written back to npc, so you can call spu_run again without updating
+ the pointers.
+
+ event can be a NULL pointer or point to an extended status code that
+ gets filled when spu_run returns. It can be one of the following con-
+ stants:
+
+ SPE_EVENT_DMA_ALIGNMENT
+ A DMA alignment error
+
+ SPE_EVENT_SPE_DATA_SEGMENT
+ A DMA segmentation error
+
+ SPE_EVENT_SPE_DATA_STORAGE
+ A DMA storage error
+
+ If NULL is passed as the event argument, these errors will result in a
+ signal delivered to the calling process.
+
+Return Value
+============
+ spu_run returns the value of the spu_status register or -1 to indicate

-NAME
- spu_run - execute an spu context
-
-
-SYNOPSIS
- #include <sys/spu.h>
-
- int spu_run(int fd, unsigned int *npc, unsigned int *event);
-
-DESCRIPTION
- The spu_run system call is used on PowerPC machines that implement the
- Cell Broadband Engine Architecture in order to access Synergistic Pro-
- cessor Units (SPUs). It uses the fd that was returned from spu_cre-
- ate(2) to address a specific SPU context. When the context gets sched-
- uled to a physical SPU, it starts execution at the instruction pointer
- passed in npc.
-
- Execution of SPU code happens synchronously, meaning that spu_run does
- not return while the SPU is still running. If there is a need to exe-
- cute SPU code in parallel with other code on either the main CPU or
- other SPUs, you need to create a new thread of execution first, e.g.
- using the pthread_create(3) call.
-
- When spu_run returns, the current value of the SPU instruction pointer
- is written back to npc, so you can call spu_run again without updating
- the pointers.
-
- event can be a NULL pointer or point to an extended status code that
- gets filled when spu_run returns. It can be one of the following con-
- stants:
-
- SPE_EVENT_DMA_ALIGNMENT
- A DMA alignment error
-
- SPE_EVENT_SPE_DATA_SEGMENT
- A DMA segmentation error
-
- SPE_EVENT_SPE_DATA_STORAGE
- A DMA storage error
-
- If NULL is passed as the event argument, these errors will result in a
- signal delivered to the calling process.
-
-RETURN VALUE
- spu_run returns the value of the spu_status register or -1 to indicate
- an error and set errno to one of the error codes listed below. The
- spu_status register value contains a bit mask of status codes and
- optionally a 14 bit code returned from the stop-and-signal instruction
- on the SPU. The bit masks for the status codes are:
-
- 0x02 SPU was stopped by stop-and-signal.
-
- 0x04 SPU was stopped by halt.
-
- 0x08 SPU is waiting for a channel.
-

-
- 0x20 SPU has tried to execute an invalid instruction.
-
- 0x40 SPU has tried to access an invalid channel.
-
- 0x3fff0000
- The bits masked with this value contain the code returned from
- stop-and-signal.

- There are always one or more of the lower eight bits set or an error
- code is returned from spu_run.

-NAME
- spu_create - create a new spu context
-
-
-SYNOPSIS
- #include <sys/types.h>
- #include <sys/spu.h>
-
- int spu_create(const char *pathname, int flags, mode_t mode);
-
-DESCRIPTION
- The spu_create system call is used on PowerPC machines that implement
- the Cell Broadband Engine Architecture in order to access Synergistic
- Processor Units (SPUs). It creates a new logical context for an SPU in
- pathname and returns a handle to associated with it. pathname must
- point to a non-existing directory in the mount point of the SPU file
- system (spufs). When spu_create is successful, a directory gets cre-
- ated on pathname and it is populated with files.
-
- The returned file handle can only be passed to spu_run(2) or closed,
- other operations are not defined on it. When it is closed, all associ-
- ated directory entries in spufs are removed. When the last file handle
- pointing either inside of the context directory or to this file
- descriptor is closed, the logical SPU context is destroyed.
-
- The parameter flags can be zero or any bitwise or'd combination of the
- following constants:
-
- SPU_RAWIO
- Allow mapping of some of the hardware registers of the SPU into
- user space. This flag requires the CAP_SYS_RAWIO capability, see
- capabilities(7).
-
- The mode parameter specifies the permissions used for creating the new
- directory in spufs. mode is modified with the user's umask(2) value
- and then used for both the directory and the files contained in it. The
- file permissions mask out some more bits of mode because they typically
- support only read or write access. See stat(2) for a full list of the
- possible mode values.
-
-
-RETURN VALUE
- spu_create returns a new file descriptor. It may return -1 to indicate
- an error condition and set errno to one of the error codes listed
- below.
-
-
-ERRORS
- EACCES
- The current user does not have write access on the spufs mount
- point.
-
- EEXIST An SPU context already exists at the given path name.
-
- EFAULT pathname is not a valid string pointer in the current address
- space.
-
- EINVAL pathname is not a directory in the spufs mount point.
-
- ELOOP Too many symlinks were found while resolving pathname.
-
- EMFILE The process has reached its maximum open file limit.
-
- ENAMETOOLONG
- pathname was too long.
-
- ENFILE The system has reached the global open file limit.
-
- ENOENT Part of pathname could not be resolved.
-
- ENOMEM The kernel could not allocate all resources required.
-
- ENOSPC There are not enough SPU resources available to create a new
- context or the user specific limit for the number of SPU con-
- texts has been reached.
-
- ENOSYS the functionality is not provided by the current system, because
- either the hardware does not provide SPUs or the spufs module is

+
+#. No struct_mutex anywhere in the code
+
+#. dma_resv will be the outermost lock (when needed) and ww_acquire_ctx
+ is to be hoisted at highest level and passed down within i915_gem_ctx
+ in the call chain
+
+#. While holding lru/memory manager (buddy, drm_mm, whatever) locks
+ system memory allocations are not allowed
+
+ * Enforce this by priming lockdep (with fs_reclaim). If we
+ allocate memory while holding these looks we get a rehash
+ of the shrinker vs. struct_mutex saga, and that would be
+ real bad.
+
+#. Do not nest different lru/memory manager locks within each other.
+ Take them in turn to update memory allocations, relying on the object’s
+ dma_resv ww_mutex to serialize against other operations.
+
+#. The suggestion for lru/memory managers locks is that they are small
+ enough to be spinlocks.
+
+#. All features need to come with exhaustive kernel selftests and/or
+ IGT tests when appropriate
+
+#. All LMEM uAPI paths need to be fully restartable (_interruptible()
+ for all locks/waits/sleeps)
+
+ * Error handling validation through signal injection.
+ Still the best strategy we have for validating GEM uAPI
+ corner cases.

+Description
+-----------
+
+The Energy driver exposes the energy counters that are
+reported via the Running Average Power Limit (RAPL)
+Model-specific Registers (MSRs) via the hardware monitor
+(HWMON) sysfs interface.
+
+1. Power, Energy and Time Units
+ MSR_RAPL_POWER_UNIT/ C001_0299:
+ shared with all cores in the socket
+
+2. Energy consumed by each Core
+ MSR_CORE_ENERGY_STATUS/ C001_029A:
+ 32-bitRO, Accumulator, core-level power reporting
+
+3. Energy consumed by Socket
+ MSR_PACKAGE_ENERGY_STATUS/ C001_029B:
+ 32-bitRO, Accumulator, socket-level power reporting,
+ shared with all cores in socket
+
+These registers are updated every 1ms and cleared on
+reset of the system.
+
+Note: If SMT is enabled, Linux enumerates all threads as cpus.
+Since, the energy status registers are accessed at core level,
+reading those registers from the sibling threads would result
+in duplicate values. Hence, energy counter entries are not
+populated for the siblings.
+
+Energy Caluclation
+------------------
+
+Energy information (in Joules) is based on the multiplier,
+1/2^ESU; where ESU is an unsigned integer read from
+MSR_RAPL_POWER_UNIT register. Default value is 10000b,
+indicating energy status unit is 15.3 micro-Joules increment.
+
+Reported values are scaled as per the formula
+
+scaled value = ((1/2^ESU) * (Raw value) * 1000000UL) in uJoules
+
+Users calculate power for a given domain by calculating
+ dEnergy/dTime for that domain.
+
+Energy accumulation
+--------------------------
+
+Current, Socket energy status register is 32bit, assuming a 240W
+2P system, the register would wrap around in
+
+ 2^32*15.3 e-6/240 * 2 = 547.60833024 secs to wrap(~9 mins)
+
+The Core energy register may wrap around after several days.
+
+To improve the wrap around time, a kernel thread is implemented
+to accumulate the socket energy counters and one core energy counter
+per run to a respective 64-bit counter. The kernel thread starts
+running during probe, wakes up every 100secs and stops running
+when driver is removed.
+
+A socket and core energy read would return the current register
+value added to the respective energy accumulator.

+Description
+-----------
+
+This driver implements support for the hardware monitoring capabilities of the
+embedded into Baikal-T1 process, voltage and temperature sensors. PVT IP-core
+consists of one temperature and four voltage sensors, which can be used to
+monitor the chip internal environment like heating, supply voltage and
+transistors performance. The driver can optionally provide the hwmon alarms
+for each sensor the PVT controller supports. The alarms functionality is made
+compile-time configurable due to the hardware interface implementation
+peculiarity, which is connected with an ability to convert data from only one
+sensor at a time. Additional limitation is that the controller performs the
+thresholds checking synchronously with the data conversion procedure. Due to
+these in order to have the hwmon alarms automatically detected the driver code
+must switch from one sensor to another, read converted data and manually check
+the threshold status bits. Depending on the measurements timeout settings
+(update_interval sysfs node value) this design may cause additional burden on
+the system performance. So in case if alarms are unnecessary in your system
+design it's recommended to have them disabled to prevent the PVT IRQs being
+periodically raised to get the data cache/alarms status up to date. By default
+in alarm-less configuration the data conversion is performed by the driver
+on demand when read operation is requested via corresponding _input-file.
+
+Temperature Monitoring
+----------------------
+
+Temperature is measured with 10-bit resolution and reported in millidegree
+Celsius. The driver performs all the scaling by itself therefore reports true
+temperatures that don't need any user-space adjustments. While the data
+translation formulae isn't linear, which gives us non-linear discreteness,
+it's close to one, but giving a bit better accuracy for higher temperatures.
+The temperature input is mapped as follows (the last column indicates the input
+ranges)::
+
+ temp1: CPU embedded diode -48.38C - +147.438C
+
+In case if the alarms kernel config is enabled in the driver the temperature input
+has associated min and max limits which trigger an alarm when crossed.
+
+Voltage Monitoring
+------------------
+
+The voltage inputs are also sampled with 10-bit resolution and reported in
+millivolts. But in this case the data translation formulae is linear, which
+provides a constant measurements discreteness. The data scaling is also
+performed by the driver, so returning true millivolts. The voltage inputs are
+mapped as follows (the last column indicates the input ranges)::
+
+ in0: VDD (processor core) 0.62V - 1.168V
+ in1: Low-Vt (low voltage threshold) 0.62V - 1.168V
+ in2: High-Vt (high voltage threshold) 0.62V - 1.168V
+ in3: Standard-Vt (standard voltage threshold) 0.62V - 1.168V
+
+In case if the alarms config is enabled in the driver the voltage inputs
+have associated min and max limits which trigger an alarm when crossed.

+Description:
+------------
+
+This driver supports hardware monitoring for the temperature sensor,
+various ADC's connected to the GSC, and optional FAN controller available
+on some boards.
+
+
+Voltage Monitoring
+------------------
+
+The voltage inputs are scaled either internally or by the driver depending
+on the GSC version and firmware. The values returned by the driver do not need
+further scaling. The voltage input labels provide the voltage rail name:
+
+inX_input Measured voltage (mV).
+inX_label Name of voltage rail.
+
+
+Temperature Monitoring
+----------------------
+
+Temperatures are measured with 12-bit or 10-bit resolution and are scaled
+either internally or by the driver depending on the GSC version and firmware.
+The values returned by the driver reflect millidegree Celcius:
+
+tempX_input Measured temperature.
+tempX_label Name of temperature input.
+
+
+PWM Output Control
+------------------
+
+The GSC features 1 PWM output that operates in automatic mode where the
+PWM value will be scalled depending on 6 temperature boundaries.
+The tempeature boundaries are read-write and in millidegree Celcius and the
+read-only PWM values range from 0 (off) to 255 (full speed).
+Fan speed will be set to minimum (off) when the temperature sensor reads
+less than pwm1_auto_point1_temp and maximum when the temperature sensor
+equals or exceeds pwm1_auto_point6_temp.
+
+pwm1_auto_point[1-6]_pwm PWM value.
+pwm1_auto_point[1-6]_temp Temperature boundary.

+local_lock on RT
+----------------
+
+The mapping of local_lock to spinlock_t on PREEMPT_RT kernels has a few
+implications. For example, on a non-PREEMPT_RT kernel the following code
+sequence works as expected::
+
+ local_lock_irq(&local_lock);
+ raw_spin_lock(&lock);
+
+and is fully equivalent to::
+
+ raw_spin_lock_irq(&lock);
+
+On a PREEMPT_RT kernel this code sequence breaks because local_lock_irq()
+is mapped to a per-CPU spinlock_t which neither disables interrupts nor
+preemption. The following code sequence works perfectly correct on both
+PREEMPT_RT and non-PREEMPT_RT kernels::
+
+ local_lock_irq(&local_lock);
+ spin_lock(&lock);
+
+Another caveat with local locks is that each local_lock has a specific

+
+ func1()
+ {
+ local_irq_save(flags); -> local_lock_irqsave(&local_lock_1, flags);
+ func3();

+ }
+
+On a non-PREEMPT_RT kernel this works correctly, but on a PREEMPT_RT kernel
+local_lock_1 and local_lock_2 are distinct and cannot serialize the callers
+of func3(). Also the lockdep assert will trigger on a PREEMPT_RT kernel
+because local_lock_irqsave() does not disable interrupts due to the
+PREEMPT_RT-specific semantics of spinlock_t. The correct substitution is::

-Each LSM hook is a function pointer in a global table, security_ops.
-This table is a :c:type:`struct security_operations
-<security_operations>` structure as defined by
-``include/linux/security.h``. Detailed documentation for each hook is
-included in this header file. At present, this structure consists of a
-collection of substructures that group related hooks based on the kernel
-object (e.g. task, inode, file, sk_buff, etc) as well as some top-level
-hook function pointers for system operations. This structure is likely
-to be flattened in the future for performance. The placement of the hook
-calls in the kernel code is described by the "called:" lines in the
-per-hook documentation in the header file. The hook calls can also be
-easily found in the kernel code by looking for the string
-"security_ops->".
-
-Linus mentioned per-process security hooks in his original remarks as a
-possible alternative to global security hooks. However, if LSM were to
-start from the perspective of per-process hooks, then the base framework
-would have to deal with how to handle operations that involve multiple
-processes (e.g. kill), since each process might have its own hook for
-controlling the operation. This would require a general mechanism for
-composing hooks in the base framework. Additionally, LSM would still
-need global hooks for operations that have no process context (e.g.
-network input operations). Consequently, LSM provides global security
-hooks, but a security module is free to implement per-process hooks
-(where that makes sense) by storing a security_ops table in each
-process' security field and then invoking these per-process hooks from
-the global hooks. The problem of composition is thus deferred to the
-module.
-
-The global security_ops table is initialized to a set of hook functions
-provided by a dummy security module that provides traditional superuser
-logic. A :c:func:`register_security()` function (in
-``security/security.c``) is provided to allow a security module to set
-security_ops to refer to its own hook functions, and an
-:c:func:`unregister_security()` function is provided to revert
-security_ops to the dummy module hooks. This mechanism is used to set
-the primary security module, which is responsible for making the final
-decision for each hook.
-
-LSM also provides a simple mechanism for stacking additional security
-modules with the primary security module. It defines
-:c:func:`register_security()` and
-:c:func:`unregister_security()` hooks in the :c:type:`struct
-security_operations <security_operations>` structure and
-provides :c:func:`mod_reg_security()` and
-:c:func:`mod_unreg_security()` functions that invoke these hooks
-after performing some sanity checking. A security module can call these
-functions in order to stack with other modules. However, the actual
-details of how this stacking is handled are deferred to the module,
-which can implement these hooks in any way it wishes (including always
-returning an error if it does not wish to support stacking). In this
-manner, LSM again defers the problem of composition to the module.

+The LSM framework does not provide a mechanism for removing hooks that

-The LSM kernel patch moves most of the existing POSIX.1e capabilities
-logic into an optional security module stored in the file
-``security/capability.c``. This change allows users who do not want to
-use capabilities to omit this code entirely from their kernel, instead
-using the dummy module for traditional superuser logic or any other
-module that they desire. This change also allows the developers of the
-capabilities logic to maintain and enhance their code more freely,
-without needing to integrate patches back into the base kernel.
-
-In addition to moving the capabilities logic, the LSM kernel patch could
-move the capability-related fields from the kernel data structures into
-the new security fields managed by the security modules. However, at
-present, the LSM kernel patch leaves the capability fields in the kernel
-data structures. In his original remarks, Linus suggested that this
-might be preferable so that other security modules can be easily stacked
-with the capabilities module without needing to chain multiple security
-structures on the security field. It also avoids imposing extra overhead
-on the capabilities module to manage the security fields. However, the
-LSM framework could certainly support such a move if it is determined to
-be desirable, with only a few additional changes described below.
-
-At present, the capabilities logic for computing process capabilities on
-:c:func:`execve()` and :c:func:`set\*uid()`, checking
-capabilities for a particular process, saving and checking capabilities
-for netlink messages, and handling the :c:func:`capget()` and
-:c:func:`capset()` system calls have been moved into the
-capabilities module. There are still a few locations in the base kernel
-where capability-related fields are directly examined or modified, but
-the current version of the LSM patch does allow a security module to
-completely replace the assignment and testing of capabilities. These few
-locations would need to be changed if the capability-related fields were
-moved into the security field. The following is a list of known
-locations that still perform such direct examination or modification of
-capability-related fields:
-
-- ``fs/open.c``::c:func:`sys_access()`
-
-- ``fs/lockd/host.c``::c:func:`nlm_bind_host()`
-
-- ``fs/nfsd/auth.c``::c:func:`nfsd_setuser()`
-
-- ``fs/proc/array.c``::c:func:`task_cap()`
+The POSIX.1e capabilities logic is maintained as a security module
+stored in the file ``security/commoncap.c``. The capabilities
+module uses the order field of the :c:type:`lsm_info` description
+to identify it as the first security module to be registered.
+The capabilities security module does not use the general security
+blobs, unlike other modules. The reasons are historical and are
+based on overhead, complexity and performance concerns.

+Segnaposto %p nella stringa di formato
+--------------------------------------
+
+Tradizionalmente, l'uso del segnaposto "%p" nella stringa di formato
+esponne un indirizzo di memoria in dmesg, proc, sysfs, eccetera. Per
+evitare che questi indirizzi vengano sfruttati da malintenzionati,
+tutto gli usi di "%p" nel kernel rappresentano l'hash dell'indirizzo,
+rendendolo di fatto inutilizzabile. Nuovi usi di "%p" non dovrebbero
+essere aggiunti al kernel. Per una rappresentazione testuale di un
+indirizzo usate "%pS", l'output è migliore perché mostrerà il nome del
+simbolo. Per tutto il resto, semplicemente non usate "%p".

+Parafrasando la `guida
+<https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/CA+55aFwQEd_d40g4mUCSsVRZzrFPUJt74vc6PPpb675hYNXcKw@mail.gmail.com/>`_

+ utente sono considerati "special"? Se pensi di poterlo giustificare
+ (in un commento e nel messaggio del commit) abbastanza bene da

+ assicurandosi anche di averne il permesso.

+l'istruzione "break" viene omessa intenzionalmente o è un baco. Per esempio,

Informazioni sui programmi di posta elettronica per Linux
=========================================================
-.. warning::
+Git
+---
+
+Oggigiorno, la maggior parte degli sviluppatori utilizza ``git send-email``
+al posto dei classici programmi di posta elettronica. Le pagine man sono
+abbastanza buone. Dal lato del ricevente, i manutentori utilizzano ``git am``
+per applicare le patch.
+
+Se siete dei novelli utilizzatori di ``git`` allora inviate la patch a voi
+stessi. Salvatela come testo includendo tutte le intestazioni. Poi eseguite
+il comando ``git am messaggio-formato-testo.txt`` e revisionatene il risultato
+con ``git log``. Quando tutto funziona correttamente, allora potete inviare
+la patch alla lista di discussione più appropriata.
+
+Panoramica delle opzioni
+------------------------
+
+Le patch per il kernel vengono inviate per posta elettronica, preferibilmente
+come testo integrante del messaggio. Alcuni manutentori accettano gli
+allegati, ma in questo caso gli allegati devono avere il *content-type*
+impostato come ``text/plain``. Tuttavia, generalmente gli allegati non sono
+ben apprezzati perché rende più difficile citare porzioni di patch durante il
+processo di revisione.
+
+I programmi di posta elettronica che vengono usati per inviare le patch per il
+kernel Linux dovrebbero inviarle senza alterazioni. Per esempio, non
+dovrebbero modificare o rimuovere tabulazioni o spazi, nemmeno all'inizio o
+alla fine delle righe.
+
+Non inviate patch con ``format=flowed``. Questo potrebbe introdurre
+interruzioni di riga inaspettate e indesiderate.
+
+Non lasciate che il vostro programma di posta vada a capo automaticamente.
+Questo può corrompere le patch.
+
+I programmi di posta non dovrebbero modificare la codifica dei caratteri nel
+testo. Le patch inviate per posta elettronica dovrebbero essere codificate in
+ASCII o UTF-8.
+Se configurate il vostro programma per inviare messaggi codificati con UTF-8
+eviterete possibili problemi di codifica.
+
+I programmi di posta dovrebbero generare e mantenere le intestazioni
+"References" o "In-Reply-To:" cosicché la discussione non venga interrotta.
+
+Di solito, il copia-e-incolla (o taglia-e-incolla) non funziona con le patch
+perché le tabulazioni vengono convertite in spazi. Usando xclipboard, xclip
+e/o xcutsel potrebbe funzionare, ma è meglio che lo verifichiate o meglio
+ancora: non usate il copia-e-incolla.
+
+Non usate firme PGP/GPG nei messaggi che contengono delle patch. Questo
+impedisce il corretto funzionamento di alcuni script per leggere o applicare
+patch (questo si dovrebbe poter correggere).
+
+Prima di inviare le patch sulle liste di discussione Linux, può essere una
+buona idea quella di inviare la patch a voi stessi, salvare il messaggio
+ricevuto, e applicarlo ai sorgenti con successo.
+
+
+Alcuni suggerimenti per i programmi di posta elettronica (MUA)
+--------------------------------------------------------------
+
+Qui troverete alcuni suggerimenti per configurare i vostri MUA allo scopo
+di modificare ed inviare patch per il kernel Linux. Tuttavia, questi
+suggerimenti non sono da considerarsi come un riassunto di una configurazione
+completa.

+
+Se la patch che avete inserito dev'essere modificata usato la finestra di

+ (:kbd:`CTRL-7`) o dalla barra degli strumenti
+
+Poi per inserire la patch usate:
+:menuselection:`Inserisci--> File di testo...` (:kbd:`ALT-N x`)
+
+Potete anche eseguire ``diff -Nru old.c new.c | xclip``, selezionare
+:menuselection:`Preformattato`, e poi usare il tasto centrale del mouse.
+
+Kmail (GUI)
+***********
+
+Alcune persone riescono ad usarlo con successo per inviare le patch.
+
+La configurazione base che disabilita la composizione di messaggi HTML è
+corretta; non abilitatela.
+
+Quando state scrivendo un messaggio, nel menu opzioni, togliete la selezione a
+"A capo automatico". L'unico svantaggio sarà che qualsiasi altra cosa scriviate
+nel messaggio non verrà mandata a capo in automatico ma dovrete farlo voi.
+Il modo più semplice per ovviare a questo problema è quello di scrivere il
+messaggio con l'opzione abilitata e poi di salvarlo nelle bozze. Riaprendo ora
+il messaggio dalle bozze le andate a capo saranno parte integrante del
+messaggio, per cui togliendo l'opzione "A capo automatico" non perderete nulla.
+
+Alla fine del vostro messaggio, appena prima di inserire la vostra patch,
+aggiungete il delimitatore di patch: tre trattini (``---``).
+
+Ora, dal menu :menuselection:`Messaggio`, selezionate :menuselection:`Inserisci file di testo...`
+quindi scegliete la vostra patch.
+Come soluzione aggiuntiva potreste personalizzare la vostra barra degli
+strumenti aggiungendo un'icona per :menuselection:`Inserisci file di testo...`.
+
+Allargate la finestra di scrittura abbastanza da evitare andate a capo.
+Questo perché in Kmail 1.13.5 (KDE 4.5.4), Kmail aggiunge andate a capo
+automaticamente al momento dell'invio per tutte quelle righe che graficamente,
+nella vostra finestra di composizione, si sono estete su una riga successiva.
+Disabilitare l'andata a capo automatica non è sufficiente. Dunque, se la vostra
+patch contiene delle righe molto lunghe, allora dovrete allargare la finestra
+di composizione per evitare che quelle righe vadano a capo. Vedere:
+https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=174034
+
+Potete firmare gli allegati con GPG, ma per le patch si preferisce aggiungerle
+al testo del messaggio per cui non usate la firma GPG. Firmare le patch
+inserite come testo del messaggio le rende più difficili da estrarre dalla loro
+codifica a 7-bit.
+
+Se dovete assolutamente inviare delle patch come allegati invece di integrarle
+nel testo del messaggio, allora premete il tasto destro sull'allegato e
+selezionate :menuselection:`Proprietà`, e poi attivate
+:menuselection:`Suggerisci visualizzazione automatica` per far si che
+l'allegato sia più leggibile venendo visualizzato come parte del messaggio.
+
+Per salvare le patch inviate come parte di un messaggio, selezionate il
+messaggio che la contiene, premete il tasto destro e selezionate
+:menuselection:`Salva come`. Se il messaggio fu ben preparato, allora potrete
+usarlo interamente senza alcuna modifica.
+I messaggi vengono salvati con permessi di lettura-scrittura solo per l'utente,
+nel caso in cui vogliate copiarli altrove per renderli disponibili ad altri
+gruppi o al mondo, ricordatevi di usare ``chmod`` per cambiare i permessi.

+IBM Verse (Web GUI)

+
+Vedi il commento per Lotus Notes.
+
+Mutt (TUI)
+**********
+
+Un sacco di sviluppatori Linux usano ``mutt``, per cui deve funzionare
+abbastanza bene.
+
+Mutt non ha un proprio editor, quindi qualunque sia il vostro editor dovrete
+configurarlo per non aggiungere automaticamente le andate a capo. Molti
+editor hanno un'opzione :menuselection:`Inserisci file` che inserisce il
+contenuto di un file senza alterarlo.
+
+Per usare ``vim`` come editor per mutt::
+
+ set editor="vi"
+
+Se per inserire la patch nel messaggio usate xclip, scrivete il comando::
+
+ :set paste
+
+prima di premere il tasto centrale o shift-insert. Oppure usate il
+comando::
+
+ :r filename
+
+(a)llega funziona bene senza ``set paste``
+
+Potete generare le patch con ``git format-patch`` e usare Mutt per inviarle::
+
+ $ mutt -H 0001-some-bug-fix.patch
+
+Opzioni per la configurazione:
+
+Tutto dovrebbe funzionare già nella configurazione base.
+Tuttavia, è una buona idea quella di impostare ``send_charset``::
+
+ set send_charset="us-ascii:utf-8"
+
+Mutt è molto personalizzabile. Qui di seguito trovate la configurazione minima
+per iniziare ad usare Mutt per inviare patch usando Gmail::
+
+ # .muttrc
+ # ================ IMAP ====================
+ set imap_user = 'yourusername@gmail.com'
+ set imap_pass = 'yourpassword'
+ set spoolfile = imaps://imap.gmail.com/INBOX
+ set folder = imaps://imap.gmail.com/
+ set record="imaps://imap.gmail.com/[Gmail]/Sent Mail"
+ set postponed="imaps://imap.gmail.com/[Gmail]/Drafts"
+ set mbox="imaps://imap.gmail.com/[Gmail]/All Mail"
+
+ # ================ SMTP ====================
+ set smtp_url = "smtp://username@smtp.gmail.com:587/"
+ set smtp_pass = $imap_pass
+ set ssl_force_tls = yes # Require encrypted connection
+
+ # ================ Composition ====================
+ set editor = `echo \$EDITOR`
+ set edit_headers = yes # See the headers when editing
+ set charset = UTF-8 # value of $LANG; also fallback for send_charset
+ # Sender, email address, and sign-off line must match
+ unset use_domain # because joe@localhost is just embarrassing
+ set realname = "YOUR NAME"
+ set from = "username@gmail.com"
+ set use_from = yes

+
+Thunderbird (GUI)
+*****************
+
+Thunderbird è un clone di Outlook a cui piace maciullare il testo, ma esistono
+modi per impedirglielo.
+
+- permettere l'uso di editor esterni:
+ La cosa più semplice da fare con Thunderbird e le patch è quello di usare
+ l'estensione "external editor" e di usare il vostro ``$EDITOR`` preferito per
+ leggere/includere patch nel vostro messaggio. Per farlo, scaricate ed
+ installate l'estensione e aggiungete un bottone per chiamarla rapidamente
+ usando :menuselection:`Visualizza-->Barra degli strumenti-->Personalizza...`;
+ una volta fatto potrete richiamarlo premendo sul bottone mentre siete nella
+ finestra :menuselection:`Scrivi`
+
+ Tenete presente che "external editor" richiede che il vostro editor non
+ faccia alcun fork, in altre parole, l'editor non deve ritornare prima di
+ essere stato chiuso. Potreste dover passare dei parametri aggiuntivi al
+ vostro editor oppure cambiargli la configurazione. Per esempio, usando
+ gvim dovrete aggiungere l'opzione -f ``/usr/bin/gvim -f`` (Se il binario
+ si trova in ``/usr/bin``) nell'apposito campo nell'interfaccia di
+ configurazione di :menuselection:`external editor`. Se usate altri editor
+ consultate il loro manuale per sapere come configurarli.
+
+Per rendere l'editor interno un po' più sensato, fate così:
+
+- Modificate le impostazioni di Thunderbird per far si che non usi
+ ``format=flowed``. Andate in :menuselection:`Modifica-->Preferenze-->Avanzate-->Editor di configurazione`
+ per invocare il registro delle impostazioni.
+
+- impostate ``mailnews.send_plaintext_flowed`` a ``false``
+
+- impostate ``mailnews.wraplength`` da ``72`` a ``0``
+
+- :menuselection:`Visualizza-->Corpo del messaggio come-->Testo semplice`
+
+- :menuselection:`Visualizza-->Codifica del testo-->Unicode`
+
+
+TkRat (GUI)
+***********
+
+Funziona. Usare "Inserisci file..." o un editor esterno.
+
+Gmail (Web GUI)
+***************
+
+Non funziona per inviare le patch.
+
+Il programma web Gmail converte automaticamente i tab in spazi.
+
+Allo stesso tempo aggiunge andata a capo ogni 78 caratteri. Comunque
+il problema della conversione fra spazi e tab può essere risolto usando
+un editor esterno.
- TODO ancora da tradurre
+Un altro problema è che Gmail usa la codifica base64 per tutti quei messaggi
+che contengono caratteri non ASCII. Questo include cose tipo i nomi europei.

+Il modello di gestione del kernel Linux
+=======================================
-Tipo di gestione del kernel Linux
-=================================
+Questo breve documento descrive il modello di gestione del kernel Linux.
+Per certi versi, esso rispecchia il documento
+:ref:`translations/it_IT/process/coding-style.rst <it_codingstyle>`,
+ed è principalmente scritto per evitare di rispondere [#f1]_ in continuazione
+alle stesse identiche (o quasi) domande.
-.. warning::
+Il modello di gestione è qualcosa di molto personale e molto più difficile da
+qualificare rispetto a delle semplici regole di codifica, quindi questo
+documento potrebbe avere più o meno a che fare con la realtà. È cominciato
+come un gioco, ma ciò non significa che non possa essere vero.
+Lo dovrete decidere voi stessi.
- TODO ancora da tradurre
+In ogni caso, quando si parla del "dirigente del kernel", ci si riferisce
+sempre alla persona che dirige tecnicamente, e non a coloro che
+tradizionalmente hanno un ruolo direttivo all'interno delle aziende. Se vi
+occupate di convalidare acquisti o avete una qualche idea sul budget del vostro
+gruppo, probabilmente non siete un dirigente del kernel. Quindi i suggerimenti
+qui indicati potrebbero fare al caso vostro, oppure no.
+
+Prima di tutto, suggerirei di acquistare "Le sette regole per avere successo",
+e di non leggerlo. Bruciatelo, è un grande gesto simbolico.
+
+.. [#f1] Questo documento non fa molto per risponde alla domanda, ma rende
+ così dannatamente ovvio a chi la pone che non abbiamo la minima idea
+ di come rispondere.
+
+Comunque, partiamo:
+
+.. _it_decisions:
+
+1) Le decisioni
+---------------
+
+Tutti pensano che i dirigenti decidano, e che questo prendere decisioni
+sia importante. Più grande e dolorosa è la decisione, più importante deve
+essere il dirigente che la prende. Questo è molto profondo ed ovvio, ma non è
+del tutto vero.
+
+Il gioco consiste nell'"evitare" di dover prendere decisioni. In particolare
+se qualcuno vi chiede di "Decidere" tra (a) o (b), e vi dice che ha
+davvero bisogno di voi per questo, come dirigenti siete nei guai.
+Le persone che gestite devono conoscere i dettagli più di quanto li conosciate
+voi, quindi se vengono da voi per una decisione tecnica, siete fottuti.
+Non sarete chiaramente competente per prendere quella decisione per loro.
+
+(Corollario: se le persone che gestite non conoscono i dettagli meglio di voi,
+anche in questo caso sarete fregati, tuttavia per altre ragioni. Ossia state
+facendo il lavoro sbagliato, e che invece dovrebbero essere "loro" a gestirvi)
+
+Quindi il gioco si chiama "evitare" decisioni, almeno le più grandi e
+difficili. Prendere decisioni piccoli e senza conseguenze va bene, e vi fa
+sembrare competenti in quello che state facendo, quindi quello che un dirigente
+del kernel ha bisogno di fare è trasformare le decisioni grandi e difficili
+in minuzie delle quali nessuno importa.
+
+Ciò aiuta a capire che la differenza chiave tra una grande decisione ed una
+piccola sta nella possibilità di modificare tale decisione in seguito.
+Qualsiasi decisione importante può essere ridotta in decisioni meno importanti,
+ma dovete assicurarvi che possano essere reversibili in caso di errori
+(presenti o futuri). Improvvisamente, dovrete essere doppiamente dirigenti
+per **due** decisioni non sequenziali - quella sbagliata **e** quella giusta.
+
+E le persone vedranno tutto ciò come prova di vera capacità di comando
+(*cough* cavolata *cough*)
+
+Così la chiave per evitare le decisioni difficili diviene l'evitare
+di fare cose che non possono essere disfatte. Non infilatevi in un angolo
+dal quale non potrete sfuggire. Un topo messo all'angolo può rivelarsi
+pericoloso - un dirigente messo all'angolo è solo pietoso.
+
+**In ogni caso** dato che nessuno è stupido al punto da lasciare veramente ad
+un dirigente del kernel un enorme responsabilità, solitamente è facile fare
+marcia indietro. Annullare una decisione è molto facile: semplicemente dite a
+tutti che siete stati degli scemi incompetenti, dite che siete dispiaciuti, ed
+annullate tutto l'inutile lavoro sul quale gli altri hanno lavorato nell'ultimo
+anno. Improvvisamente la decisione che avevate preso un anno fa non era poi
+così grossa, dato che può essere facilmente annullata.
+
+È emerso che alcune persone hanno dei problemi con questo tipo di approccio,
+questo per due ragioni:
+
+ - ammettere di essere degli idioti è più difficile di quanto sembri. A tutti
+ noi piace mantenere le apparenze, ed uscire allo scoperto in pubblico per
+ ammettere che ci si è sbagliati è qualcosa di davvero impegnativo.
+ - avere qualcuno che ti dice che ciò su cui hai lavorato nell'ultimo anno
+ non era del tutto valido, può rivelarsi difficile anche per un povero ed
+ umile ingegnere, e mentre il **lavoro** vero era abbastanza facile da
+ cancellare, dall'altro canto potreste aver irrimediabilmente perso la
+ fiducia di quell'ingegnere. E ricordate che l'"irrevocabile" era quello
+ che avevamo cercato di evitare fin dall'inizio, e la vostra decisione
+ ha finito per esserlo.
+
+Fortunatamente, entrambe queste ragioni posso essere mitigate semplicemente
+ammettendo fin dal principio che non avete una cavolo di idea, dicendo
+agli altri in anticipo che la vostra decisione è puramente ipotetica, e che
+potrebbe essere sbagliata. Dovreste sempre riservarvi il diritto di cambiare
+la vostra opinione, e rendere gli altri ben **consapevoli** di ciò.
+Ed è molto più facile ammettere di essere stupidi quando non avete **ancora**
+fatto quella cosa stupida.
+
+Poi, quando è realmente emersa la vostra stupidità, le persone semplicemente
+roteeranno gli occhi e diranno "Uffa, no, ancora".
+
+Questa ammissione preventiva di incompetenza potrebbe anche portare le persone
+che stanno facendo il vero lavoro, a pensarci due volte. Dopo tutto, se
+**loro** non sono certi se sia una buona idea, voi, sicuro come la morte,
+non dovreste incoraggiarli promettendogli che ciò su cui stanno lavorando
+verrà incluso. Fate si che ci pensino due volte prima che si imbarchino in un
+grosso lavoro.
+
+Ricordate: loro devono sapere più cose sui dettagli rispetto a voi, e
+solitamente pensano di avere già la risposta a tutto. La miglior cosa che
+potete fare in qualità di dirigente è di non instillare troppa fiducia, ma
+invece fornire una salutare dose di pensiero critico su quanto stanno facendo.
+
+Comunque, un altro modo di evitare una decisione è quello di lamentarsi
+malinconicamente dicendo : "non possiamo farli entrambi e basta?" e con uno
+sguardo pietoso. Fidatevi, funziona. Se non è chiaro quale sia il miglior
+approccio, lo scopriranno. La risposta potrebbe essere data dal fatto che
+entrambe i gruppi di lavoro diventano frustati al punto di rinunciarvi.
+
+Questo può suonare come un fallimento, ma di solito questo è un segno che
+c'era qualcosa che non andava in entrambe i progetti, e il motivo per
+il quale le persone coinvolte non abbiano potuto decidere era che entrambe
+sbagliavano. Voi ne uscirete freschi come una rosa, e avrete evitato un'altra
+decisione con la quale avreste potuto fregarvi.
+
+
+2) Le persone
+-------------
+
+Ci sono molte persone stupide, ed essere un dirigente significa che dovrete
+scendere a patti con questo, e molto più importate, che **loro** devono avere
+a che fare con **voi**.
+
+Ne emerge che mentre è facile annullare degli errori tecnici, non è invece
+così facile rimuovere i disordini della personalità. Dovrete semplicemente
+convivere con i loro, ed i vostri, problemi.
+
+Comunque, al fine di preparavi in qualità di dirigenti del kernel, è meglio
+ricordare di non abbattere alcun ponte, bombardare alcun paesano innocente,
+o escludere troppi sviluppatori kernel. Ne emerge che escludere le persone
+è piuttosto facile, mentre includerle nuovamente è difficile. Così
+"l'esclusione" immediatamente cade sotto il titolo di "non reversibile", e
+diviene un no-no secondo la sezione :ref:`it_decisions`.
+
+Esistono alcune semplici regole qui:
+
+ (1) non chiamate le persone teste di c*** (al meno, non in pubblico)
+ (2) imparate a scusarvi quando dimenticate la regola (1)
+
+Il problema del punto numero 1 è che è molto facile da rispettare, dato che
+è possibile dire "sei una testa di c***" in milioni di modi differenti [#f2]_,
+a volte senza nemmeno pensarci, e praticamente sempre con la calda convinzione
+di essere nel giusto.
+
+E più convinti sarete che avete ragione (e diciamolo, potete chiamare
+praticamente **tutti** testa di c**, e spesso **sarete** nel giusto), più
+difficile sarà scusarvi successivamente.
+
+Per risolvere questo problema, avete due possibilità:
+
+ - diventare davvero bravi nello scusarsi
+ - essere amabili così che nessuno finirà col sentirsi preso di mira. Siate
+ creativi abbastanza, e potrebbero esserne divertiti.
+
+L'opzione dell'essere immancabilmente educati non esiste proprio. Nessuno
+si fiderà di qualcuno che chiaramente sta nascondendo il suo vero carattere.
+
+.. [#f2] Paul Simon cantava: "50 modi per lasciare il vostro amante", perché,
+ molto francamente, "Un milione di modi per dire ad uno sviluppatore
+ Testa di c***" non avrebbe funzionato. Ma sono sicuro che ci abbia
+ pensato.
+
+
+3) Le persone II - quelle buone
+-------------------------------
+
+Mentre emerge che la maggior parte delle persone sono stupide, il corollario
+a questo è il triste fatto che anche voi siete fra queste, e che mentre
+possiamo tutti crogiolarci nella sicurezza di essere migliori della media
+delle persone (diciamocelo, nessuno crede di essere nelle media o sotto di
+essa), dovremmo anche ammettere che non siamo il "coltello più affilato" del
+circondario, e che ci saranno altre persone che sono meno stupide di quanto
+lo siete voi.
+
+Molti reagiscono male davanti alle persone intelligenti. Altri le usano a
+proprio vantaggio.
+
+Assicuratevi che voi, in qualità di manutentori del kernel, siate nel secondo
+gruppo. Inchinatevi dinanzi a loro perché saranno le persone che vi renderanno
+il lavoro più facile. In particolare, prenderanno le decisioni per voi, che è
+l'oggetto di questo gioco.
+
+Quindi quando trovate qualcuno più sveglio di voi, prendetevela comoda.
+Le vostre responsabilità dirigenziali si ridurranno in gran parte nel dire
+"Sembra una buona idea - Vai", oppure "Sembra buono, ma invece circa questo e
+quello?". La seconda versione in particolare è una gran modo per imparare
+qualcosa di nuovo circa "questo e quello" o di sembrare **extra** dirigenziali
+sottolineando qualcosa alla quale i più svegli non avevano pensato. In
+entrambe i casi, vincete.
+
+Una cosa alla quale dovete fare attenzione è che l'essere grandi in qualcosa
+non si traduce automaticamente nell'essere grandi anche in altre cose. Quindi
+dovreste dare una spintarella alle persone in una specifica direzione, ma
+diciamocelo, potrebbero essere bravi in ciò che fanno e far schifo in tutto
+il resto. La buona notizia è che le persone tendono a gravitare attorno a ciò
+in cui sono bravi, quindi non state facendo nulla di irreversibile quando li
+spingete verso una certa direzione, solo non spingete troppo.
+
+
+4) Addossare le colpe
+---------------------
+
+Le cose andranno male, e le persone vogliono qualcuno da incolpare. Sarete voi.
+
+Non è poi così difficile accettare la colpa, specialmente se le persone
+riescono a capire che non era **tutta** colpa vostra. Il che ci porta
+sulla miglior strada per assumersi la colpa: fatelo per qualcun'altro.
+Vi sentirete bene nel assumervi la responsabilità, e loro si sentiranno
+bene nel non essere incolpati, e coloro che hanno perso i loro 36GB di
+pornografia a causa della vostra incompetenza ammetteranno a malincuore che
+almeno non avete cercato di fare il furbetto.
+
+Successivamente fate in modo che gli sviluppatori che in realtà hanno fallito
+(se riuscite a trovarli) sappiano **in privato** che sono "fottuti".
+Questo non per fargli sapere che la prossima volta possono evitarselo ma per
+fargli capire che sono in debito. E, forse cosa più importante, sono loro che
+devono sistemare la cosa. Perché, ammettiamolo, è sicuro non sarete voi a
+farlo.
+
+Assumersi la colpa è anche ciò che vi rendere dirigenti in prima battuta.
+È parte di ciò che spinge gli altri a fidarsi di voi, e vi garantisce
+la gloria potenziale, perché siete gli unici a dire "Ho fatto una cavolata".
+E se avete seguito le regole precedenti, sarete decisamente bravi nel dirlo.
+
+
+5) Le cose da evitare
+---------------------
+
+Esiste una cosa che le persone odiano più che essere chiamate "teste di c****",
+ed è essere chiamate "teste di c****" con fare da bigotto. Se per il primo
+caso potrete comunque scusarvi, per il secondo non ve ne verrà data nemmeno
+l'opportunità. Probabilmente smetteranno di ascoltarvi anche se tutto sommato
+state svolgendo un buon lavoro.
+
+Tutti crediamo di essere migliori degli altri, il che significa che quando
+qualcuno inizia a darsi delle arie, ci da **davvero** fastidio. Potreste anche
+essere moralmente ed intellettualmente superiore a tutti quelli attorno a voi,
+ma non cercate di renderlo ovvio per gli altri a meno che non **vogliate**
+veramente far arrabbiare qualcuno [#f3]_.
+
+Allo stesso modo evitate di essere troppo gentili e pacati. Le buone maniere
+facilmente finiscono per strabordare e nascondere i problemi, e come si usa
+dire, "su internet nessuno può sentire la vostra pacatezza". Usate argomenti
+diretti per farvi capire, non potete sperare che la gente capisca in altro
+modo.
+
+Un po' di umorismo può aiutare a smorzare sia la franchezza che la moralità.
+Andare oltre i limiti al punto d'essere ridicolo può portare dei punti a casa
+senza renderlo spiacevole per i riceventi, i quali penseranno che stavate
+facendo gli scemi. Può anche aiutare a lasciare andare quei blocchi mentali
+che abbiamo nei confronti delle critiche.
+
+.. [#f3] Suggerimento: i forum di discussione su internet, che non sono
+ collegati col vostro lavoro, sono ottimi modi per sfogare la frustrazione
+ verso altre persone. Di tanto in tanto scrivete messaggi offensivi col ghigno
+ in faccia per infiammare qualche discussione: vi sentirete purificati. Solo
+ cercate di non cagare troppo vicino a casa.
+
+6) Perché io?
+-------------
+
+Dato che la vostra responsabilità principale è quella di prendervi le colpe
+d'altri, e rendere dolorosamente ovvio a tutti che siete degli incompetenti,
+la domanda naturale che ne segue sarà : perché dovrei fare tutto ciò?
+
+Innanzitutto, potreste diventare o no popolari al punto da avere la fila di
+ragazzine (o ragazzini, evitiamo pregiudizi o sessismo) che gridano e bussano
+alla porta del vostro camerino, ma comunque **proverete** un immenso senso di
+realizzazione personale dall'essere "in carica". Dimenticate il fatto che voi
+state discutendo con tutti e che cercate di inseguirli il più velocemente che
+potete. Tutti continueranno a pensare che voi siete la persona in carica.
+
+È un bel lavoro se riuscite ad adattarlo a voi.

+arch/riscv linee guida alla manutenzione per gli sviluppatori
+=============================================================
+
+Introduzione
+------------
+
+L'insieme di istruzioni RISC-V sono sviluppate in modo aperto: le
+bozze in fase di sviluppo sono disponibili a tutti per essere
+revisionate e per essere sperimentare nelle implementazioni. Le bozze
+dei nuovi moduli o estensioni possono cambiare in fase di sviluppo - a
+volte in modo incompatibile rispetto a bozze precedenti. Questa
+flessibilità può portare a dei problemi di manutenzioni per il
+supporto RISC-V nel kernel Linux. I manutentori Linux non amano
+l'abbandono del codice, e il processo di sviluppo del kernel
+preferisce codice ben revisionato e testato rispetto a quello
+sperimentale. Desideriamo estendere questi stessi principi al codice
+relativo all'architettura RISC-V che verrà accettato per l'inclusione
+nel kernel.
+
+In aggiunta alla lista delle verifiche da fare prima di inviare una patch
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+Accetteremo le patch per un nuovo modulo o estensione se la fondazione
+RISC-V li classifica come "Frozen" o "Retified". (Ovviamente, gli
+sviluppatori sono liberi di mantenere una copia del kernel Linux
+contenente il codice per una bozza di estensione).
+
+In aggiunta, la specifica RISC-V permette agli implementatori di
+creare le proprie estensioni. Queste estensioni non passano
+attraverso il processo di revisione della fondazione RISC-V. Per
+questo motivo, al fine di evitare complicazioni o problemi di
+prestazioni, accetteremo patch solo per quelle estensioni che sono
+state ufficialmente accettate dalla fondazione RISC-V. (Ovviamente,
+gli implementatori sono liberi di mantenere una copia del kernel Linux
+contenente il codice per queste specifiche estensioni).

+Debugfs是内核开发人员在用户空间获取信息的简单方法。与/proc不同,proc只提供进程
+信息。也不像sysfs,具有严格的“每个文件一个值“的规则。debugfs根本没有规则,开发
+人员可以在这里放置他们想要的任何信息。debugfs文件系统也不能用作稳定的ABI接口。
+从理论上讲,debugfs导出文件的时候没有任何约束。但是[1]实际情况并不总是那么
+简单。即使是debugfs接口,也最好根据需要进行设计,并尽量保持接口不变。
+
+
+Debugfs通常使用以下命令安装::
+
+ mount -t debugfs none /sys/kernel/debug
+
+(或等效的/etc/fstab行)。
+debugfs根目录默认仅可由root用户访问。要更改对文件树的访问,请使用“ uid”,“ gid”
+和“ mode”挂载选项。请注意,debugfs API仅按照GPL协议导出到模块。
+
+使用debugfs的代码应包含<linux/debugfs.h>。然后,首先是创建至少一个目录来保存
+一组debugfs文件::
+
+ struct dentry *debugfs_create_dir(const char *name, struct dentry *parent);
+
+如果成功,此调用将在指定的父目录下创建一个名为name的目录。如果parent参数为空,
+则会在debugfs根目录中创建。创建目录成功时,返回值是一个指向dentry结构体的指针。
+该dentry结构体的指针可用于在目录中创建文件(以及最后将其清理干净)。ERR_PTR
+(-ERROR)返回值表明出错。如果返回ERR_PTR(-ENODEV),则表明内核是在没有debugfs
+支持的情况下构建的,并且下述函数都不会起作用。
+
+在debugfs目录中创建文件的最通用方法是::
+
+ struct dentry *debugfs_create_file(const char *name, umode_t mode,
+ struct dentry *parent, void *data,
+ const struct file_operations *fops);
+
+在这里,name是要创建的文件的名称,mode描述了访问文件应具有的权限,parent指向
+应该保存文件的目录,data将存储在产生的inode结构体的i_private字段中,而fops是
+一组文件操作函数,这些函数中实现文件操作的具体行为。至少,read()和/或
+write()操作应提供;其他可以根据需要包括在内。同样的,返回值将是指向创建文件
+的dentry指针,错误时返回ERR_PTR(-ERROR),系统不支持debugfs时返回值为ERR_PTR
+(-ENODEV)。创建一个初始大小的文件,可以使用以下函数代替::
+
+ struct dentry *debugfs_create_file_size(const char *name, umode_t mode,
+ struct dentry *parent, void *data,
+ const struct file_operations *fops,
+ loff_t file_size);
+
+file_size是初始文件大小。其他参数跟函数debugfs_create_file的相同。
+
+在许多情况下,没必要自己去创建一组文件操作;对于一些简单的情况,debugfs代码提供
+了许多帮助函数。包含单个整数值的文件可以使用以下任何一项创建::
+
+ void debugfs_create_u8(const char *name, umode_t mode,
+ struct dentry *parent, u8 *value);
+ void debugfs_create_u16(const char *name, umode_t mode,
+ struct dentry *parent, u16 *value);
+ struct dentry *debugfs_create_u32(const char *name, umode_t mode,
+ struct dentry *parent, u32 *value);
+ void debugfs_create_u64(const char *name, umode_t mode,
+ struct dentry *parent, u64 *value);
+
+这些文件支持读取和写入给定值。如果某个文件不支持写入,只需根据需要设置mode
+参数位。这些文件中的值以十进制表示;如果需要使用十六进制,可以使用以下函数
+替代::
+
+ void debugfs_create_x8(const char *name, umode_t mode,
+ struct dentry *parent, u8 *value);
+ void debugfs_create_x16(const char *name, umode_t mode,
+ struct dentry *parent, u16 *value);
+ void debugfs_create_x32(const char *name, umode_t mode,
+ struct dentry *parent, u32 *value);
+ void debugfs_create_x64(const char *name, umode_t mode,
+ struct dentry *parent, u64 *value);
+
+这些功能只有在开发人员知道导出值的大小的时候才有用。某些数据类型在不同的架构上
+有不同的宽度,这样会使情况变得有些复杂。在这种特殊情况下可以使用以下函数::
+
+ void debugfs_create_size_t(const char *name, umode_t mode,
+ struct dentry *parent, size_t *value);
+
+不出所料,此函数将创建一个debugfs文件来表示类型为size_t的变量。
+
+同样地,也有导出无符号长整型变量的函数,分别以十进制和十六进制表示如下::
+
+ struct dentry *debugfs_create_ulong(const char *name, umode_t mode,
+ struct dentry *parent,
+ unsigned long *value);
+ void debugfs_create_xul(const char *name, umode_t mode,
+ struct dentry *parent, unsigned long *value);
+
+布尔值可以通过以下方式放置在debugfs中::
+
+ struct dentry *debugfs_create_bool(const char *name, umode_t mode,
+ struct dentry *parent, bool *value);
+
+
+读取结果文件将产生Y(对于非零值)或N,后跟换行符写入的时候,它只接受大写或小写
+值或1或0。任何其他输入将被忽略。
+
+同样,atomic_t类型的值也可以放置在debugfs中::
+
+ void debugfs_create_atomic_t(const char *name, umode_t mode,
+ struct dentry *parent, atomic_t *value)
+
+读取此文件将获得atomic_t值,写入此文件将设置atomic_t值。
+
+另一个选择是通过以下结构体和函数导出一个任意二进制数据块::
+
+ struct debugfs_blob_wrapper {
+ void *data;
+ unsigned long size;
+ };
+
+ struct dentry *debugfs_create_blob(const char *name, umode_t mode,
+ struct dentry *parent,
+ struct debugfs_blob_wrapper *blob);
+
+读取此文件将返回由指针指向debugfs_blob_wrapper结构体的数据。一些驱动使用“blobs”
+作为一种返回几行(静态)格式化文本的简单方法。这个函数可用于导出二进制信息,但
+似乎在主线中没有任何代码这样做。请注意,使用debugfs_create_blob()命令创建的
+所有文件是只读的。
+
+如果您要转储一个寄存器块(在开发过程中经常会这么做,但是这样的调试代码很少上传
+到主线中。Debugfs提供两个函数:一个用于创建仅寄存器文件,另一个把一个寄存器块
+插入一个顺序文件中::
+
+ struct debugfs_reg32 {
+ char *name;
+ unsigned long offset;
+ };
+
+ struct debugfs_regset32 {
+ struct debugfs_reg32 *regs;
+ int nregs;
+ void __iomem *base;
+ };
+
+ struct dentry *debugfs_create_regset32(const char *name, umode_t mode,
+ struct dentry *parent,
+ struct debugfs_regset32 *regset);
+
+ void debugfs_print_regs32(struct seq_file *s, struct debugfs_reg32 *regs,
+ int nregs, void __iomem *base, char *prefix);
+
+“base”参数可能为0,但您可能需要使用__stringify构建reg32数组,实际上有许多寄存器
+名称(宏)是寄存器块在基址上的字节偏移量。
+
+如果要在debugfs中转储u32数组,可以使用以下函数创建文件::
+
+ void debugfs_create_u32_array(const char *name, umode_t mode,
+ struct dentry *parent,
+ u32 *array, u32 elements);
+
+“array”参数提供数据,而“elements”参数为数组中元素的数量。注意:数组创建后,数组
+大小无法更改。
+
+有一个函数来创建与设备相关的seq_file::
+
+ struct dentry *debugfs_create_devm_seqfile(struct device *dev,
+ const char *name,
+ struct dentry *parent,
+ int (*read_fn)(struct seq_file *s,
+ void *data));
+
+“dev”参数是与此debugfs文件相关的设备,并且“read_fn”是一个函数指针,这个函数在
+打印seq_file内容的时候被回调。
+
+还有一些其他的面向目录的函数::
+
+ struct dentry *debugfs_rename(struct dentry *old_dir,
+ struct dentry *old_dentry,
+ struct dentry *new_dir,
+ const char *new_name);
+
+ struct dentry *debugfs_create_symlink(const char *name,
+ struct dentry *parent,
+ const char *target);
+
+调用debugfs_rename()将为现有的debugfs文件重命名,可能同时切换目录。 new_name
+函数调用之前不能存在;返回值为old_dentry,其中包含更新的信息。可以使用
+debugfs_create_symlink()创建符号链接。
+
+所有debugfs用户必须考虑的一件事是:
+
+debugfs不会自动清除在其中创建的任何目录。如果一个模块在不显式删除debugfs目录的
+情况下卸载模块,结果将会遗留很多野指针,从而导致系统不稳定。因此,所有debugfs
+用户-至少是那些可以作为模块构建的用户-必须做模块卸载的时候准备删除在此创建的
+所有文件和目录。一份文件可以通过以下方式删除::
+
+ void debugfs_remove(struct dentry *dentry);
+
+dentry值可以为NULL或错误值,在这种情况下,不会有任何文件被删除。
+
+很久以前,内核开发者使用debugfs时需要记录他们创建的每个dentry指针,以便最后所有
+文件都可以被清理掉。但是,现在debugfs用户能调用以下函数递归清除之前创建的文件::
+
+ void debugfs_remove_recursive(struct dentry *dentry);
+
+如果将对应顶层目录的dentry传递给以上函数,则该目录下的整个层次结构将会被删除。

+==============================
+Running nested guests with KVM
+==============================
+
+A nested guest is the ability to run a guest inside another guest (it
+can be KVM-based or a different hypervisor). The straightforward
+example is a KVM guest that in turn runs on a KVM guest (the rest of
+this document is built on this example)::
+
+ .----------------. .----------------.
+ | | | |
+ | L2 | | L2 |
+ | (Nested Guest) | | (Nested Guest) |
+ | | | |
+ |----------------'--'----------------|
+ | |
+ | L1 (Guest Hypervisor) |
+ | KVM (/dev/kvm) |
+ | |
+ .------------------------------------------------------.
+ | L0 (Host Hypervisor) |
+ | KVM (/dev/kvm) |
+ |------------------------------------------------------|
+ | Hardware (with virtualization extensions) |
+ '------------------------------------------------------'
+
+Terminology:
+
+- L0 – level-0; the bare metal host, running KVM
+
+- L1 – level-1 guest; a VM running on L0; also called the "guest
+ hypervisor", as it itself is capable of running KVM.
+
+- L2 – level-2 guest; a VM running on L1, this is the "nested guest"
+
+.. note:: The above diagram is modelled after the x86 architecture;
+ s390x, ppc64 and other architectures are likely to have
+ a different design for nesting.
+
+ For example, s390x always has an LPAR (LogicalPARtition)
+ hypervisor running on bare metal, adding another layer and
+ resulting in at least four levels in a nested setup — L0 (bare
+ metal, running the LPAR hypervisor), L1 (host hypervisor), L2
+ (guest hypervisor), L3 (nested guest).
+
+ This document will stick with the three-level terminology (L0,
+ L1, and L2) for all architectures; and will largely focus on
+ x86.
+
+
+Use Cases
+---------
+
+There are several scenarios where nested KVM can be useful, to name a
+few:
+
+- As a developer, you want to test your software on different operating
+ systems (OSes). Instead of renting multiple VMs from a Cloud
+ Provider, using nested KVM lets you rent a large enough "guest
+ hypervisor" (level-1 guest). This in turn allows you to create
+ multiple nested guests (level-2 guests), running different OSes, on
+ which you can develop and test your software.
+
+- Live migration of "guest hypervisors" and their nested guests, for
+ load balancing, disaster recovery, etc.
+
+- VM image creation tools (e.g. ``virt-install``, etc) often run
+ their own VM, and users expect these to work inside a VM.
+
+- Some OSes use virtualization internally for security (e.g. to let
+ applications run safely in isolation).
+
+
+Enabling "nested" (x86)
+-----------------------
+
+From Linux kernel v4.19 onwards, the ``nested`` KVM parameter is enabled
+by default for Intel and AMD. (Though your Linux distribution might
+override this default.)
+
+In case you are running a Linux kernel older than v4.19, to enable
+nesting, set the ``nested`` KVM module parameter to ``Y`` or ``1``. To
+persist this setting across reboots, you can add it in a config file, as
+shown below:
+
+1. On the bare metal host (L0), list the kernel modules and ensure that
+ the KVM modules::
+
+ $ lsmod | grep -i kvm
+ kvm_intel 133627 0
+ kvm 435079 1 kvm_intel
+
+2. Show information for ``kvm_intel`` module::
+
+ $ modinfo kvm_intel | grep -i nested
+ parm: nested:bool
+
+3. For the nested KVM configuration to persist across reboots, place the
+ below in ``/etc/modprobed/kvm_intel.conf`` (create the file if it
+ doesn't exist)::
+
+ $ cat /etc/modprobe.d/kvm_intel.conf
+ options kvm-intel nested=y
+
+4. Unload and re-load the KVM Intel module::
+
+ $ sudo rmmod kvm-intel
+ $ sudo modprobe kvm-intel
+
+5. Verify if the ``nested`` parameter for KVM is enabled::
+
+ $ cat /sys/module/kvm_intel/parameters/nested
+ Y
+
+For AMD hosts, the process is the same as above, except that the module
+name is ``kvm-amd``.
+
+
+Additional nested-related kernel parameters (x86)
+-------------------------------------------------
+
+If your hardware is sufficiently advanced (Intel Haswell processor or
+higher, which has newer hardware virt extensions), the following
+additional features will also be enabled by default: "Shadow VMCS
+(Virtual Machine Control Structure)", APIC Virtualization on your bare
+metal host (L0). Parameters for Intel hosts::
+
+ $ cat /sys/module/kvm_intel/parameters/enable_shadow_vmcs
+ Y
+
+ $ cat /sys/module/kvm_intel/parameters/enable_apicv
+ Y
+
+ $ cat /sys/module/kvm_intel/parameters/ept
+ Y
+
+.. note:: If you suspect your L2 (i.e. nested guest) is running slower,
+ ensure the above are enabled (particularly
+ ``enable_shadow_vmcs`` and ``ept``).
+
+
+Starting a nested guest (x86)
+-----------------------------
+
+Once your bare metal host (L0) is configured for nesting, you should be
+able to start an L1 guest with::
+
+ $ qemu-kvm -cpu host [...]
+
+The above will pass through the host CPU's capabilities as-is to the
+gues); or for better live migration compatibility, use a named CPU
+model supported by QEMU. e.g.::
+
+ $ qemu-kvm -cpu Haswell-noTSX-IBRS,vmx=on
+
+then the guest hypervisor will subsequently be capable of running a
+nested guest with accelerated KVM.
+
+
+Enabling "nested" (s390x)
+-------------------------
+
+1. On the host hypervisor (L0), enable the ``nested`` parameter on
+ s390x::
+
+ $ rmmod kvm
+ $ modprobe kvm nested=1
+
+.. note:: On s390x, the kernel parameter ``hpage`` is mutually exclusive
+ with the ``nested`` paramter — i.e. to be able to enable
+ ``nested``, the ``hpage`` parameter *must* be disabled.
+
+2. The guest hypervisor (L1) must be provided with the ``sie`` CPU
+ feature — with QEMU, this can be done by using "host passthrough"
+ (via the command-line ``-cpu host``).
+
+3. Now the KVM module can be loaded in the L1 (guest hypervisor)::
+
+ $ modprobe kvm
+
+
+Live migration with nested KVM
+------------------------------
+
+Migrating an L1 guest, with a *live* nested guest in it, to another
+bare metal host, works as of Linux kernel 5.3 and QEMU 4.2.0 for
+Intel x86 systems, and even on older versions for s390x.
+
+On AMD systems, once an L1 guest has started an L2 guest, the L1 guest
+should no longer be migrated or saved (refer to QEMU documentation on
+"savevm"/"loadvm") until the L2 guest shuts down. Attempting to migrate
+or save-and-load an L1 guest while an L2 guest is running will result in
+undefined behavior. You might see a ``kernel BUG!`` entry in ``dmesg``, a
+kernel 'oops', or an outright kernel panic. Such a migrated or loaded L1
+guest can no longer be considered stable or secure, and must be restarted.
+Migrating an L1 guest merely configured to support nesting, while not
+actually running L2 guests, is expected to function normally even on AMD
+systems but may fail once guests are started.
+
+Migrating an L2 guest is always expected to succeed, so all the following
+scenarios should work even on AMD systems:
+
+- Migrating a nested guest (L2) to another L1 guest on the *same* bare
+ metal host.
+
+- Migrating a nested guest (L2) to another L1 guest on a *different*
+ bare metal host.
+
+- Migrating a nested guest (L2) to a bare metal host.
+
+Reporting bugs from nested setups
+-----------------------------------
+
+Debugging "nested" problems can involve sifting through log files across
+L0, L1 and L2; this can result in tedious back-n-forth between the bug
+reporter and the bug fixer.
+
+- Mention that you are in a "nested" setup. If you are running any kind
+ of "nesting" at all, say so. Unfortunately, this needs to be called
+ out because when reporting bugs, people tend to forget to even
+ *mention* that they're using nested virtualization.
+
+- Ensure you are actually running KVM on KVM. Sometimes people do not
+ have KVM enabled for their guest hypervisor (L1), which results in
+ them running with pure emulation or what QEMU calls it as "TCG", but
+ they think they're running nested KVM. Thus confusing "nested Virt"
+ (which could also mean, QEMU on KVM) with "nested KVM" (KVM on KVM).
+
+Information to collect (generic)
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+The following is not an exhaustive list, but a very good starting point:
+
+ - Kernel, libvirt, and QEMU version from L0
+
+ - Kernel, libvirt and QEMU version from L1
+
+ - QEMU command-line of L1 -- when using libvirt, you'll find it here:
+ ``/var/log/libvirt/qemu/instance.log``
+
+ - QEMU command-line of L2 -- as above, when using libvirt, get the
+ complete libvirt-generated QEMU command-line
+
+ - ``cat /sys/cpuinfo`` from L0
+
+ - ``cat /sys/cpuinfo`` from L1
+
+ - ``lscpu`` from L0
+
+ - ``lscpu`` from L1
+
+ - Full ``dmesg`` output from L0
+
+ - Full ``dmesg`` output from L1
+
+x86-specific info to collect
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Both the below commands, ``x86info`` and ``dmidecode``, should be
+available on most Linux distributions with the same name:
+
+ - Output of: ``x86info -a`` from L0
+
+ - Output of: ``x86info -a`` from L1
+
+ - Output of: ``dmidecode`` from L0
+
+ - Output of: ``dmidecode`` from L1
+
+s390x-specific info to collect
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Along with the earlier mentioned generic details, the below is
+also recommended:
+
+ - ``/proc/sysinfo`` from L1; this will also include the info from L0
