Summary

S3C24XX CPUfreq support
|
||||
=======================
|
||||
|
||||
Introduction
|
||||
------------
|
||||
|
||||
The S3C24XX series support a number of power saving systems, such as
|
||||
the ability to change the core, memory and peripheral operating
|
||||
frequencies. The core control is exported via the CPUFreq driver
|
||||
which has a number of different manual or automatic controls over the
|
||||
rate the core is running at.
|
||||
|
||||
There are two forms of the driver depending on the specific CPU and
|
||||
how the clocks are arranged. The first implementation used as single
|
||||
PLL to feed the ARM, memory and peripherals via a series of dividers
|
||||
and muxes and this is the implementation that is documented here. A
|
||||
newer version where there is a seperate PLL and clock divider for the
|
||||
ARM core is available as a seperate driver.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Layout
|
||||
------
|
||||
|
||||
The code core manages the CPU specific drivers, any data that they
|
||||
need to register and the interface to the generic drivers/cpufreq
|
||||
system. Each CPU registers a driver to control the PLL, clock dividers
|
||||
and anything else associated with it. Any board that wants to use this
|
||||
framework needs to supply at least basic details of what is required.
|
||||
|
||||
The core registers with drivers/cpufreq at init time if all the data
|
||||
necessary has been supplied.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
CPU support
|
||||
-----------
|
||||
|
||||
The support for each CPU depends on the facilities provided by the
|
||||
SoC and the driver as each device has different PLL and clock chains
|
||||
associated with it.

||||

||||

|
||||
The SLOW mode where the PLL is turned off altogether and the
|
||||
system is fed by the external crystal input is currently not
|
||||
supported.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
sysfs
|
||||
-----
|
||||
|
||||
The core code exports extra information via sysfs in the directory
|
||||
devices/system/cpu/cpu0/arch-freq.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Board Support
|
||||
-------------
|
||||
|
||||
Each board that wants to use the cpufreq code must register some basic
|
||||
information with the core driver to provide information about what the
|
||||
board requires and any restrictions being placed on it.
|
||||
|
||||
The board needs to supply information about whether it needs the IO bank
|
||||
timings changing, any maximum frequency limits and information about the
|
||||
SDRAM refresh rate.

README for btmrvl driver
|
||||
=======================================================================
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
All commands are used via debugfs interface.
|
||||
|
||||
=====================
|
||||
Set/get driver configurations:
|
||||
|
||||
Path: /debug/btmrvl/config/
|
||||
|
||||
gpiogap=[n]
|
||||
hscfgcmd
|
||||
These commands are used to configure the host sleep parameters.
|
||||
bit 8:0 -- Gap
|
||||
bit 16:8 -- GPIO
|
||||
|
||||
where GPIO is the pin number of GPIO used to wake up the host.
|
||||
It could be any valid GPIO pin# (e.g. 0-7) or 0xff (SDIO interface
|
||||
wakeup will be used instead).
|
||||
|
||||
where Gap is the gap in milli seconds between wakeup signal and
|
||||
wakeup event, or 0xff for special host sleep setting.
|
||||
|
||||
Usage:
|
||||
# Use SDIO interface to wake up the host and set GAP to 0x80:
|
||||
echo 0xff80 > /debug/btmrvl/config/gpiogap
|
||||
echo 1 > /debug/btmrvl/config/hscfgcmd
|
||||
|
||||
# Use GPIO pin #3 to wake up the host and set GAP to 0xff:
|
||||
echo 0x03ff > /debug/btmrvl/config/gpiogap
|
||||
echo 1 > /debug/btmrvl/config/hscfgcmd
|
||||
|
||||
psmode=[n]
|
||||
pscmd
|
||||
These commands are used to enable/disable auto sleep mode
|
||||
|
||||
where the option is:
|
||||
1 -- Enable auto sleep mode
|
||||
0 -- Disable auto sleep mode
|
||||
|
||||
Usage:
|
||||
# Enable auto sleep mode
|
||||
echo 1 > /debug/btmrvl/config/psmode
|
||||
echo 1 > /debug/btmrvl/config/pscmd
|
||||
|
||||
# Disable auto sleep mode
|
||||
echo 0 > /debug/btmrvl/config/psmode
|
||||
echo 1 > /debug/btmrvl/config/pscmd
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
hsmode=[n]
|
||||
hscmd
|
||||
These commands are used to enable host sleep or wake up firmware
|
||||
|
||||
where the option is:
|
||||
1 -- Enable host sleep
|
||||
0 -- Wake up firmware
|
||||
|
||||
Usage:
|
||||
# Enable host sleep
|
||||
echo 1 > /debug/btmrvl/config/hsmode
|
||||
echo 1 > /debug/btmrvl/config/hscmd
|
||||
|
||||
# Wake up firmware
|
||||
echo 0 > /debug/btmrvl/config/hsmode
|
||||

Path: /debug/btmrvl/status/
|
||||
|
||||
Usage:
|
||||
cat /debug/btmrvl/status/<args>
|
||||
|
||||
where the args are:
|

What: PRISM54
|
||||
When: 2.6.34
|
||||
|
||||
Why: prism54 FullMAC PCI / Cardbus devices used to be supported only by the
|
||||
prism54 wireless driver. After Intersil stopped selling these
|
||||
devices in preference for the newer more flexible SoftMAC devices
|
||||
a SoftMAC device driver was required and prism54 did not support
|
||||
them. The p54pci driver now exists and has been present in the kernel for
|
||||
a while. This driver supports both SoftMAC devices and FullMAC devices.
|
||||
The main difference between these devices was the amount of memory which
|
||||
could be used for the firmware. The SoftMAC devices support a smaller
|
||||
amount of memory. Because of this the SoftMAC firmware fits into FullMAC
|
||||
devices's memory. p54pci supports not only PCI / Cardbus but also USB
|
||||
and SPI. Since p54pci supports all devices prism54 supports
|
||||
you will have a conflict. I'm not quite sure how distributions are
|
||||
handling this conflict right now. prism54 was kept around due to
|
||||
claims users may experience issues when using the SoftMAC driver.
|
||||
Time has passed users have not reported issues. If you use prism54
|
||||
and for whatever reason you cannot use p54pci please let us know!

What: libata spindown skipping and warning
|

When: Dec 2008
|

Why: Some halt(8) implementations synchronize caches for and spin

down libata disks because libata didn't use to spin down disk on

system halt (only synchronized caches).
|

Spin down on system halt is now implemented. sysfs node
|

/sys/class/scsi_disk/h:c:i:l/manage_start_stop is present if
|
||||
spin down support is available.
|
||||
Because issuing spin down command to an already spun down disk
|
||||
makes some disks spin up just to spin down again, libata tracks
|
||||
device spindown status to skip the extra spindown command and
|
||||
warn about it.

This is to give userspace tools the time to get updated and will

be removed after userspace is reasonably updated.

use of custom module aliases which might as well be considered

a bug at this point. This preemptive claiming prevents

alternative OSS implementations.
|

|

both sound-slot/service-* and the standard char-major-* module

aliases and allow turning off the pre-claiming selectively via

||||
CONFIG_SOUND_OSS_CORE_PRECLAIM and soundcore.preclaim_oss

|
||||
|
||||
After the transition phase is complete, both the custom module

aliases and switches to disable it will go away. This removal

||||
will also allow making ALSA OSS emulation independent of
|
||||
sound_core. The dependency will be broken then too.

uevents and GFS2
|
||||
==================
|
||||
|
||||
During the lifetime of a GFS2 mount, a number of uevents are generated.
|
||||
This document explains what the events are and what they are used
|
||||
for (by gfs_controld in gfs2-utils).
|
||||
|
||||
A list of GFS2 uevents
|
||||
-----------------------
|
||||
|
||||
1. ADD
|
||||
|
||||
The ADD event occurs at mount time. It will always be the first
|
||||
uevent generated by the newly created filesystem. If the mount
|
||||
is successful, an ONLINE uevent will follow. If it is not successful
|
||||
then a REMOVE uevent will follow.
|
||||
|
||||
The ADD uevent has two environment variables: SPECTATOR=[0|1]
|
||||
and RDONLY=[0|1] that specify the spectator status (a read-only mount
|
||||
with no journal assigned), and read-only (with journal assigned) status
|
||||
of the filesystem respectively.
|
||||
|
||||
2. ONLINE
|
||||
|
||||
The ONLINE uevent is generated after a successful mount or remount. It
|
||||
has the same environment variables as the ADD uevent. The ONLINE
|
||||
uevent, along with the two environment variables for spectator and
|
||||
RDONLY are a relatively recent addition (2.6.32-rc+) and will not
|
||||
be generated by older kernels.
|
||||
|
||||
3. CHANGE
|
||||
|
||||
The CHANGE uevent is used in two places. One is when reporting the
|
||||
successful mount of the filesystem by the first node (FIRSTMOUNT=Done).
|
||||
This is used as a signal by gfs_controld that it is then ok for other
|
||||
nodes in the cluster to mount the filesystem.
|
||||
|
||||
The other CHANGE uevent is used to inform of the completion
|
||||
of journal recovery for one of the filesystems journals. It has
|
||||
two environment variables, JID= which specifies the journal id which
|
||||
has just been recovered, and RECOVERY=[Done|Failed] to indicate the
|
||||
success (or otherwise) of the operation. These uevents are generated
|
||||
for every journal recovered, whether it is during the initial mount
|
||||
process or as the result of gfs_controld requesting a specific journal
|
||||
recovery via the /sys/fs/gfs2/<fsname>/lock_module/recovery file.
|
||||
|
||||
Because the CHANGE uevent was used (in early versions of gfs_controld)
|
||||
without checking the environment variables to discover the state, we
|
||||
cannot add any more functions to it without running the risk of
|
||||
someone using an older version of the user tools and breaking their
|
||||
cluster. For this reason the ONLINE uevent was used when adding a new
|
||||
uevent for a successful mount or remount.
|
||||
|
||||
4. OFFLINE
|
||||
|
||||
The OFFLINE uevent is only generated due to filesystem errors and is used
|
||||
as part of the "withdraw" mechanism. Currently this doesn't give any
|
||||
information about what the error is, which is something that needs to
|
||||
be fixed.
|
||||
|
||||
5. REMOVE
|
||||
|
||||
The REMOVE uevent is generated at the end of an unsuccessful mount
|
||||
or at the end of a umount of the filesystem. All REMOVE uevents will
|
||||
have been preceeded by at least an ADD uevent for the same fileystem,
|
||||
and unlike the other uevents is generated automatically by the kernel's
|
||||
kobject subsystem.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Information common to all GFS2 uevents (uevent environment variables)
|
||||
----------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
1. LOCKTABLE=
|
||||
|
||||
The LOCKTABLE is a string, as supplied on the mount command
|
||||
line (locktable=) or via fstab. It is used as a filesystem label
|
||||
as well as providing the information for a lock_dlm mount to be
|
||||
able to join the cluster.
|
||||
|
||||
2. LOCKPROTO=
|
||||
|
||||
The LOCKPROTO is a string, and its value depends on what is set
|
||||
on the mount command line, or via fstab. It will be either
|
||||
lock_nolock or lock_dlm. In the future other lock managers
|
||||
may be supported.
|
||||
|
||||
3. JOURNALID=
|
||||
|
||||
If a journal is in use by the filesystem (journals are not
|
||||
assigned for spectator mounts) then this will give the
|
||||
numeric journal id in all GFS2 uevents.
|
||||
|
||||
4. UUID=
|
||||
|
||||
With recent versions of gfs2-utils, mkfs.gfs2 writes a UUID
|
||||
into the filesystem superblock. If it exists, this will
|
||||
be included in every uevent relating to the filesystem.

The NFS client
|
||||
==============
|
||||
|
||||
The NFS version 2 protocol was first documented in RFC1094 (March 1989).
|
||||
Since then two more major releases of NFS have been published, with NFSv3
|
||||
being documented in RFC1813 (June 1995), and NFSv4 in RFC3530 (April
|
||||
2003).
|
||||
|
||||
The Linux NFS client currently supports all the above published versions,
|
||||
and work is in progress on adding support for minor version 1 of the NFSv4
|
||||
protocol.
|
||||
|
||||
The purpose of this document is to provide information on some of the
|
||||
upcall interfaces that are used in order to provide the NFS client with
|
||||
some of the information that it requires in order to fully comply with
|
||||
the NFS spec.
|
||||
|
||||
The DNS resolver
|
||||
================
|
||||
|
||||
NFSv4 allows for one server to refer the NFS client to data that has been
|
||||
migrated onto another server by means of the special "fs_locations"
|
||||
attribute. See
|
||||
http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3530#section-6
|
||||
and
|
||||
http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-nfsv4-referrals-00
|
||||
|
||||
The fs_locations information can take the form of either an ip address and
|
||||
a path, or a DNS hostname and a path. The latter requires the NFS client to
|
||||
do a DNS lookup in order to mount the new volume, and hence the need for an
|
||||
upcall to allow userland to provide this service.
|
||||
|
||||
Assuming that the user has the 'rpc_pipefs' filesystem mounted in the usual
|
||||
/var/lib/nfs/rpc_pipefs, the upcall consists of the following steps:
|
||||
|
||||
(1) The process checks the dns_resolve cache to see if it contains a
|
||||
valid entry. If so, it returns that entry and exits.
|
||||
|
||||
(2) If no valid entry exists, the helper script '/sbin/nfs_cache_getent'
|
||||
(may be changed using the 'nfs.cache_getent' kernel boot parameter)
|
||||
is run, with two arguments:
|
||||
- the cache name, "dns_resolve"
|
||||
- the hostname to resolve
|
||||
|
||||
(3) After looking up the corresponding ip address, the helper script
|
||||
writes the result into the rpc_pipefs pseudo-file
|
||||
'/var/lib/nfs/rpc_pipefs/cache/dns_resolve/channel'
|
||||
in the following (text) format:
|
||||
|
||||
"<ip address> <hostname> <ttl>\n"
|
||||
|
||||
Where <ip address> is in the usual IPv4 (123.456.78.90) or IPv6
|
||||
(ffee:ddcc:bbaa:9988:7766:5544:3322:1100, ffee::1100, ...) format.
|
||||
<hostname> is identical to the second argument of the helper
|
||||
script, and <ttl> is the 'time to live' of this cache entry (in
|
||||
units of seconds).
|
||||
|
||||
Note: If <ip address> is invalid, say the string "0", then a negative
|
||||
entry is created, which will cause the kernel to treat the hostname
|
||||
as having no valid DNS translation.

Using flexible arrays in the kernel
|
||||
Last updated for 2.6.31

|
||||
|
||||
Large contiguous memory allocations can be unreliable in the Linux kernel.
|
||||
Kernel programmers will sometimes respond to this problem by allocating
|
||||
pages with vmalloc(). This solution not ideal, though. On 32-bit systems,
|
||||
memory from vmalloc() must be mapped into a relatively small address space;
|
||||
it's easy to run out. On SMP systems, the page table changes required by
|
||||
vmalloc() allocations can require expensive cross-processor interrupts on
|
||||
all CPUs. And, on all systems, use of space in the vmalloc() range
|
||||
increases pressure on the translation lookaside buffer (TLB), reducing the
|
||||
performance of the system.
|
||||
|
||||
In many cases, the need for memory from vmalloc() can be eliminated by
|
||||
piecing together an array from smaller parts; the flexible array library
|
||||
exists to make this task easier.
|
||||
|
||||
A flexible array holds an arbitrary (within limits) number of fixed-sized
|
||||
objects, accessed via an integer index. Sparse arrays are handled
|
||||
reasonably well. Only single-page allocations are made, so memory
|
||||
allocation failures should be relatively rare. The down sides are that the
|
||||
arrays cannot be indexed directly, individual object size cannot exceed the
|
||||
system page size, and putting data into a flexible array requires a copy
|
||||
operation. It's also worth noting that flexible arrays do no internal
|
||||
locking at all; if concurrent access to an array is possible, then the
|
||||
caller must arrange for appropriate mutual exclusion.
|
||||
|
||||
The creation of a flexible array is done with:
|
||||
|
||||
#include <linux/flex_array.h>
|
||||
|
||||
struct flex_array *flex_array_alloc(int element_size,
|
||||
unsigned int total,
|
||||
gfp_t flags);
|
||||
|
||||
The individual object size is provided by element_size, while total is the
|
||||
maximum number of objects which can be stored in the array. The flags
|
||||
argument is passed directly to the internal memory allocation calls. With
|
||||
the current code, using flags to ask for high memory is likely to lead to
|
||||
notably unpleasant side effects.
|
||||
|
||||
Storing data into a flexible array is accomplished with a call to:
|
||||
|
||||
int flex_array_put(struct flex_array *array, unsigned int element_nr,
|
||||
void *src, gfp_t flags);
|
||||
|
||||
This call will copy the data from src into the array, in the position
|
||||
indicated by element_nr (which must be less than the maximum specified when
|
||||
the array was created). If any memory allocations must be performed, flags
|
||||
will be used. The return value is zero on success, a negative error code
|
||||
otherwise.
|
||||
|
||||
There might possibly be a need to store data into a flexible array while
|
||||
running in some sort of atomic context; in this situation, sleeping in the
|
||||
memory allocator would be a bad thing. That can be avoided by using
|
||||
GFP_ATOMIC for the flags value, but, often, there is a better way. The
|
||||
trick is to ensure that any needed memory allocations are done before
|
||||
entering atomic context, using:
|
||||
|
||||
int flex_array_prealloc(struct flex_array *array, unsigned int start,
|
||||
unsigned int end, gfp_t flags);
|
||||
|
||||
This function will ensure that memory for the elements indexed in the range
|
||||
defined by start and end has been allocated. Thereafter, a
|
||||
flex_array_put() call on an element in that range is guaranteed not to
|
||||
block.
|
||||
|
||||
Getting data back out of the array is done with:
|
||||
|
||||
void *flex_array_get(struct flex_array *fa, unsigned int element_nr);
|
||||
|
||||
The return value is a pointer to the data element, or NULL if that
|
||||
particular element has never been allocated.
|
||||
|
||||
Note that it is possible to get back a valid pointer for an element which
|
||||
has never been stored in the array. Memory for array elements is allocated
|
||||
one page at a time; a single allocation could provide memory for several
|
||||
adjacent elements. The flexible array code does not know if a specific
|
||||
element has been written; it only knows if the associated memory is
|
||||
present. So a flex_array_get() call on an element which was never stored
|
||||
in the array has the potential to return a pointer to random data. If the
|
||||
caller does not have a separate way to know which elements were actually
|
||||
stored, it might be wise, at least, to add GFP_ZERO to the flags argument
|
||||
to ensure that all elements are zeroed.
|
||||
|
||||
There is no way to remove a single element from the array. It is possible,
|
||||
though, to remove all elements with a call to:
|
||||
|
||||
void flex_array_free_parts(struct flex_array *array);
|
||||
|
||||
This call frees all elements, but leaves the array itself in place.
|
||||
Freeing the entire array is done with:
|
||||
|
||||
void flex_array_free(struct flex_array *array);
|
||||
|
||||
As of this writing, there are no users of flexible arrays in the mainline
|
||||
kernel. The functions described here are also not exported to modules;
|
||||
that will probably be fixed when somebody comes up with a need for it.
