"on" means that the device is not allowed to autosuspend,
although normal suspends for system sleep will still
be honored. "auto" means the device will autosuspend
and autoresume in the usual manner, according to the
capabilities of its driver. "suspend" means the device
is forced into a suspended state and it will not autoresume
in response to I/O requests. However remote-wakeup requests
from the device may still be enabled (the remote-wakeup
setting is controlled separately by the power/wakeup
attribute).

During normal use, devices should be left in the "auto"

level. The "on" level is meant for administrative uses.
If you want to suspend a device immediately but leave it
free to wake up in response to I/O requests, you should
write "0" to power/autosuspend.
Device not capable of proper suspend and resume should be
left in the "on" level. Although the USB spec requires
devices to support suspend/resume, many of them do not.
In fact so many don't that by default, the USB core
initializes all non-hub devices in the "on" level. Some
drivers may change this setting when they are bound.

What: /sys/devices/system/memory/soft_offline_page
Date: Sep 2009
KernelVersion: 2.6.33
Contact: andi@firstfloor.org
Description:
Soft-offline the memory page containing the physical address
written into this file. Input is a hex number specifying the
physical address of the page. The kernel will then attempt
to soft-offline it, by moving the contents elsewhere or
dropping it if possible. The kernel will then be placed
on the bad page list and never be reused.
The offlining is done in kernel specific granuality.
Normally it's the base page size of the kernel, but
this might change.
The page must be still accessible, not poisoned. The
kernel will never kill anything for this, but rather
fail the offline. Return value is the size of the
number, or a error when the offlining failed. Reading
the file is not allowed.

This guide describes the use of the procfs file system from
within the Linux kernel. The idea to write this guide came up on
the #kernelnewbies IRC channel (see <ulink
url="http://www.kernelnewbies.org/">http://www.kernelnewbies.org/</ulink>),
when Jeff Garzik explained the use of procfs and forwarded me a
message Alexander Viro wrote to the linux-kernel mailing list. I
agreed to write it up nicely, so here it is.

<title>Introduction</title>
<para>
The <filename class="directory">/proc</filename> file system
(procfs) is a special file system in the linux kernel. It's a
virtual file system: it is not associated with a block device
but exists only in memory. The files in the procfs are there to
allow userland programs access to certain information from the
kernel (like process information in <filename
class="directory">/proc/[0-9]+/</filename>), but also for debug
purposes (like <filename>/proc/ksyms</filename>).
</para>
<para>
This guide describes the use of the procfs file system from
within the Linux kernel. It starts by introducing all relevant
functions to manage the files within the file system. After that
it shows how to communicate with userland, and some tips and
tricks will be pointed out. Finally a complete example will be
shown.
</para>
<para>
Note that the files in <filename
class="directory">/proc/sys</filename> are sysctl files: they
don't belong to procfs and are governed by a completely
different API described in the Kernel API book.

<title>Managing procfs entries</title>
<para>
This chapter describes the functions that various kernel
components use to populate the procfs with files, symlinks,
device nodes, and directories.
</para>
<para>
A minor note before we start: if you want to use any of the
procfs functions, be sure to include the correct header file!
This should be one of the first lines in your code:

<paramdef>mode_t <parameter>mode</parameter></paramdef>
<paramdef>struct proc_dir_entry* <parameter>parent</parameter></paramdef>
</funcprototype>
</funcsynopsis>
<para>
This function creates a regular file with the name
<parameter>name</parameter>, file mode
<parameter>mode</parameter> in the directory
<parameter>parent</parameter>. To create a file in the root of
the procfs, use <constant>NULL</constant> as
<parameter>parent</parameter> parameter. When successful, the
function will return a pointer to the freshly created
<structname>struct proc_dir_entry</structname>; otherwise it
will return <constant>NULL</constant>. <xref
linkend="userland"/> describes how to do something useful with
regular files.
</para>
<para>
Note that it is specifically supported that you can pass a
path that spans multiple directories. For example
<function>create_proc_entry</function>(<parameter>"drivers/via0/info"</parameter>)
will create the <filename class="directory">via0</filename>
directory if necessary, with standard
<constant>0755</constant> permissions.
</para>
<para>
If you only want to be able to read the file, the function
<function>create_proc_read_entry</function> described in <xref
linkend="convenience"/> may be used to create and initialise
the procfs entry in one single call.

</chapter>
<chapter id="userland">
<title>Communicating with userland</title>
<para>
Instead of reading (or writing) information directly from
kernel memory, procfs works with <emphasis>call back
functions</emphasis> for files: functions that are called when
a specific file is being read or written. Such functions have
to be initialised after the procfs file is created by setting
the <structfield>read_proc</structfield> and/or
<structfield>write_proc</structfield> fields in the
<structname>struct proc_dir_entry*</structname> that the
function <function>create_proc_entry</function> returned:
</para>
<programlisting>
struct proc_dir_entry* entry;
entry->read_proc = read_proc_foo;
entry->write_proc = write_proc_foo;
</programlisting>
<para>
If you only want to use a the
<structfield>read_proc</structfield>, the function
<function>create_proc_read_entry</function> described in <xref
linkend="convenience"/> may be used to create and initialise the
procfs entry in one single call.
</para>
<sect1 id="Reading_data">
<title>Reading data</title>
<para>
The read function is a call back function that allows userland
processes to read data from the kernel. The read function
should have the following format:
</para>
<funcsynopsis>
<funcprototype>
<funcdef>int <function>read_func</function></funcdef>
<paramdef>char* <parameter>buffer</parameter></paramdef>

<paramdef>int* <parameter>peof</parameter></paramdef>
<paramdef>void* <parameter>data</parameter></paramdef>
</funcprototype>
</funcsynopsis>
<para>
The read function should write its information into the
<parameter>buffer</parameter>, which will be exactly
<literal>PAGE_SIZE</literal> bytes long.
</para>
<para>
The parameter
<parameter>peof</parameter> should be used to signal that the
end of the file has been reached by writing
<literal>1</literal> to the memory location
<parameter>peof</parameter> points to.
</para>
<para>
The <parameter>data</parameter>
parameter can be used to create a single call back function for
several files, see <xref linkend="usingdata"/>.
</para>
<para>
The rest of the parameters and the return value are described
by a comment in <filename>fs/proc/generic.c</filename> as follows:
</para>
<blockquote>
<para>
You have three ways to return data:
</para>
<orderedlist>
<listitem>
<para>
Leave <literal>*start = NULL</literal>. (This is the default.)
Put the data of the requested offset at that
offset within the buffer. Return the number (<literal>n</literal>)
of bytes there are from the beginning of the
buffer up to the last byte of data. If the
number of supplied bytes (<literal>= n - offset</literal>) is
greater than zero and you didn't signal eof
and the reader is prepared to take more data
you will be called again with the requested
offset advanced by the number of bytes
absorbed. This interface is useful for files
no larger than the buffer.
</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>
Set <literal>*start</literal> to an unsigned long value less than
the buffer address but greater than zero.
Put the data of the requested offset at the
beginning of the buffer. Return the number of
bytes of data placed there. If this number is
greater than zero and you didn't signal eof
and the reader is prepared to take more data
you will be called again with the requested
offset advanced by <literal>*start</literal>. This interface is
useful when you have a large file consisting
of a series of blocks which you want to count
and return as wholes.
(Hack by Paul.Russell@rustcorp.com.au)
</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>
Set <literal>*start</literal> to an address within the buffer.
Put the data of the requested offset at <literal>*start</literal>.
Return the number of bytes of data placed there.

<para>
<xref linkend="example"/> shows how to use a read call back
function.
</para>
</sect1>
<sect1 id="Writing_data">
<title>Writing data</title>
<para>
The write call back function allows a userland process to write
data to the kernel, so it has some kind of control over the
kernel. The write function should have the following format:
</para>
<funcsynopsis>
<funcprototype>
<funcdef>int <function>write_func</function></funcdef>
<paramdef>struct file* <parameter>file</parameter></paramdef>
<paramdef>const char* <parameter>buffer</parameter></paramdef>
<paramdef>unsigned long <parameter>count</parameter></paramdef>
<paramdef>void* <parameter>data</parameter></paramdef>
</funcprototype>
</funcsynopsis>
<para>
The write function should read <parameter>count</parameter>
bytes at maximum from the <parameter>buffer</parameter>. Note
that the <parameter>buffer</parameter> doesn't live in the
kernel's memory space, so it should first be copied to kernel
space with <function>copy_from_user</function>. The
<parameter>file</parameter> parameter is usually
ignored. <xref linkend="usingdata"/> shows how to use the
<parameter>data</parameter> parameter.
</para>
<para>
Again, <xref linkend="example"/> shows how to use this call back
function.
</para>
</sect1>
<sect1 id="usingdata">
<title>A single call back for many files</title>
<para>
When a large number of almost identical files is used, it's
quite inconvenient to use a separate call back function for
each file. A better approach is to have a single call back
function that distinguishes between the files by using the
<structfield>data</structfield> field in <structname>struct
proc_dir_entry</structname>. First of all, the
<structfield>data</structfield> field has to be initialised:
</para>
<programlisting>
struct proc_dir_entry* entry;
struct my_file_data *file_data;
file_data = kmalloc(sizeof(struct my_file_data), GFP_KERNEL);
entry->data = file_data;
</programlisting>
<para>
The <structfield>data</structfield> field is a <type>void
*</type>, so it can be initialised with anything.
</para>
<para>
Now that the <structfield>data</structfield> field is set, the
<function>read_proc</function> and
<function>write_proc</function> can use it to distinguish
between files because they get it passed into their
<parameter>data</parameter> parameter:
</para>
<programlisting>
int foo_read_func(char *page, char **start, off_t off,
int count, int *eof, void *data)
{
int len;
if(data == file_data) {
/* special case for this file */
} else {
/* normal processing */
}
return len;
}
</programlisting>
<para>
Be sure to free the <structfield>data</structfield> data field
when removing the procfs entry.

Sometimes it is useful to change the mode and/or ownership of
a procfs entry. Here is an example that shows how to achieve
that:
</para>
<programlisting>
struct proc_dir_entry* entry;
entry->mode = S_IWUSR |S_IRUSR | S_IRGRP | S_IROTH;

The video standards discussed so far has been dealing with Analog TV and the

such as High Definition TV interfaces (HDMI), VGA, DVI connectors etc., that carry
video signals and there is a need to extend the API to select the video timings
for these interfaces. Since it is not possible to extend the &v4l2-std-id; due to

video timing at the input/output. Presets are pre-defined timings implemented

a preset unlike the bit mask that is used in &v4l2-std-id; allowing future extensions
to support as many different presets as needed.</para>

custom video timings for the interface. This includes parameters such as width, height,

<structfield>index</structfield> field and zero the reserved array of &v4l2-dv-enum-preset;
and call the <constant>VIDIOC_ENUM_DV_PRESETS</constant> ioctl with a pointer to this

applications shall begin at index zero, incrementing by one until the
driver returns <errorcode>EINVAL</errorcode>. Drivers may enumerate a

Linux ACPI Custom Control Method How To
=======================================
Written by Zhang Rui <rui.zhang@intel.com>
Linux supports customizing ACPI control methods at runtime.
Users can use this to
1. override an existing method which may not work correctly,
or just for debugging purposes.
2. insert a completely new method in order to create a missing
method such as _OFF, _ON, _STA, _INI, etc.
For these cases, it is far simpler to dynamically install a single
control method rather than override the entire DSDT, because kernel
rebuild/reboot is not needed and test result can be got in minutes.
Note: Only ACPI METHOD can be overridden, any other object types like
"Device", "OperationRegion", are not recognized.
Note: The same ACPI control method can be overridden for many times,
and it's always the latest one that used by Linux/kernel.
1. override an existing method
a) get the ACPI table via ACPI sysfs I/F. e.g. to get the DSDT,
just run "cat /sys/firmware/acpi/tables/DSDT > /tmp/dsdt.dat"
b) disassemble the table by running "iasl -d dsdt.dat".
c) rewrite the ASL code of the method and save it in a new file,
d) package the new file (psr.asl) to an ACPI table format.
Here is an example of a customized \_SB._AC._PSR method,
DefinitionBlock ("", "SSDT", 1, "", "", 0x20080715)
{
External (ACON)
Method (\_SB_.AC._PSR, 0, NotSerialized)
{
Store ("In AC _PSR", Debug)
Return (ACON)
}
}
Note that the full pathname of the method in ACPI namespace
should be used.
And remember to use "External" to declare external objects.
e) assemble the file to generate the AML code of the method.
e.g. "iasl psr.asl" (psr.aml is generated as a result)
f) mount debugfs by "mount -t debugfs none /sys/kernel/debug"
g) override the old method via the debugfs by running
"cat /tmp/psr.aml > /sys/kernel/debug/acpi/custom_method"
2. insert a new method
This is easier than overriding an existing method.
We just need to create the ASL code of the method we want to
insert and then follow the step c) ~ g) in section 1.
3. undo your changes
The "undo" operation is not supported for a new inserted method
right now, i.e. we can not remove a method currently.
For an overrided method, in order to undo your changes, please
save a copy of the method original ASL code in step c) section 1,
and redo step c) ~ g) to override the method with the original one.
Note: We can use a kernel with multiple custom ACPI method running,
But each individual write to debugfs can implement a SINGLE
method override. i.e. if we want to insert/override multiple
ACPI methods, we need to redo step c) ~ g) for multiple times.

How to lock your code in cache in uClinux/blackfin
--------------------------------------------------
There are only a few steps required to lock your code into the cache.
Currently you can lock the code by Way.
Below are the interface provided for locking the cache.
1. cache_grab_lock(int Ways);
This function grab the lock for locking your code into the cache specified
by Ways.
2. cache_lock(int Ways);
This function should be called after your critical code has been executed.
Once the critical code exits, the code is now loaded into the cache. This
function locks the code into the cache.
So, the example sequence will be:
cache_grab_lock(WAY0_L); /* Grab the lock */
critical_code(); /* Execute the code of interest */
cache_lock(WAY0_L); /* Lock the cache */
Where WAY0_L signifies WAY0 locking.

Anticipatory IO scheduler
-------------------------
Nick Piggin <piggin@cyberone.com.au> 13 Sep 2003
Attention! Database servers, especially those using "TCQ" disks should
investigate performance with the 'deadline' IO scheduler. Any system with high
disk performance requirements should do so, in fact.
If you see unusual performance characteristics of your disk systems, or you
see big performance regressions versus the deadline scheduler, please email
me. Database users don't bother unless you're willing to test a lot of patches
from me ;) its a known issue.
Also, users with hardware RAID controllers, doing striping, may find
highly variable performance results with using the as-iosched. The
as-iosched anticipatory implementation is based on the notion that a disk
device has only one physical seeking head. A striped RAID controller
actually has a head for each physical device in the logical RAID device.
However, setting the antic_expire (see tunable parameters below) produces
very similar behavior to the deadline IO scheduler.
Selecting IO schedulers
-----------------------
Refer to Documentation/block/switching-sched.txt for information on
selecting an io scheduler on a per-device basis.
Anticipatory IO scheduler Policies
----------------------------------
The as-iosched implementation implements several layers of policies
to determine when an IO request is dispatched to the disk controller.
Here are the policies outlined, in order of application.
1. one-way Elevator algorithm.
The elevator algorithm is similar to that used in deadline scheduler, with
the addition that it allows limited backward movement of the elevator
(i.e. seeks backwards). A seek backwards can occur when choosing between
two IO requests where one is behind the elevator's current position, and
the other is in front of the elevator's position. If the seek distance to
the request in back of the elevator is less than half the seek distance to
the request in front of the elevator, then the request in back can be chosen.
Backward seeks are also limited to a maximum of MAXBACK (1024*1024) sectors.
This favors forward movement of the elevator, while allowing opportunistic
"short" backward seeks.
2. FIFO expiration times for reads and for writes.
This is again very similar to the deadline IO scheduler. The expiration
times for requests on these lists is tunable using the parameters read_expire
and write_expire discussed below. When a read or a write expires in this way,
the IO scheduler will interrupt its current elevator sweep or read anticipation
to service the expired request.
3. Read and write request batching
A batch is a collection of read requests or a collection of write
requests. The as scheduler alternates dispatching read and write batches
to the driver. In the case a read batch, the scheduler submits read
requests to the driver as long as there are read requests to submit, and
the read batch time limit has not been exceeded (read_batch_expire).
The read batch time limit begins counting down only when there are
competing write requests pending.
In the case of a write batch, the scheduler submits write requests to
the driver as long as there are write requests available, and the
write batch time limit has not been exceeded (write_batch_expire).
However, the length of write batches will be gradually shortened
when read batches frequently exceed their time limit.
When changing between batch types, the scheduler waits for all requests
from the previous batch to complete before scheduling requests for the
next batch.
The read and write fifo expiration times described in policy 2 above
are checked only when in scheduling IO of a batch for the corresponding
(read/write) type. So for example, the read FIFO timeout values are
tested only during read batches. Likewise, the write FIFO timeout
values are tested only during write batches. For this reason,
it is generally not recommended for the read batch time
to be longer than the write expiration time, nor for the write batch
time to exceed the read expiration time (see tunable parameters below).
When the IO scheduler changes from a read to a write batch,
it begins the elevator from the request that is on the head of the
write expiration FIFO. Likewise, when changing from a write batch to
a read batch, scheduler begins the elevator from the first entry
on the read expiration FIFO.
4. Read anticipation.
Read anticipation occurs only when scheduling a read batch.
This implementation of read anticipation allows only one read request
to be dispatched to the disk controller at a time. In
contrast, many write requests may be dispatched to the disk controller
at a time during a write batch. It is this characteristic that can make
the anticipatory scheduler perform anomalously with controllers supporting
TCQ, or with hardware striped RAID devices. Setting the antic_expire
queue parameter (see below) to zero disables this behavior, and the
anticipatory scheduler behaves essentially like the deadline scheduler.
When read anticipation is enabled (antic_expire is not zero), reads
are dispatched to the disk controller one at a time.
At the end of each read request, the IO scheduler examines its next
candidate read request from its sorted read list. If that next request
is from the same process as the request that just completed,
or if the next request in the queue is "very close" to the
just completed request, it is dispatched immediately. Otherwise,
statistics (average think time, average seek distance) on the process
that submitted the just completed request are examined. If it seems
likely that that process will submit another request soon, and that
request is likely to be near the just completed request, then the IO
scheduler will stop dispatching more read requests for up to (antic_expire)
milliseconds, hoping that process will submit a new request near the one
that just completed. If such a request is made, then it is dispatched
immediately. If the antic_expire wait time expires, then the IO scheduler
will dispatch the next read request from the sorted read queue.
To decide whether an anticipatory wait is worthwhile, the scheduler
maintains statistics for each process that can be used to compute
mean "think time" (the time between read requests), and mean seek
distance for that process. One observation is that these statistics
are associated with each process, but those statistics are not associated
with a specific IO device. So for example, if a process is doing IO
on several file systems on separate devices, the statistics will be
a combination of IO behavior from all those devices.
Tuning the anticipatory IO scheduler
------------------------------------
When using 'as', the anticipatory IO scheduler there are 5 parameters under
/sys/block/*/queue/iosched/. All are units of milliseconds.
The parameters are:
* read_expire
Controls how long until a read request becomes "expired". It also controls the
interval between which expired requests are served, so set to 50, a request
might take anywhere < 100ms to be serviced _if_ it is the next on the
expired list. Obviously request expiration strategies won't make the disk
go faster. The result basically equates to the timeslice a single reader
gets in the presence of other IO. 100*((seek time / read_expire) + 1) is
very roughly the % streaming read efficiency your disk should get with
multiple readers.
* read_batch_expire
Controls how much time a batch of reads is given before pending writes are
served. A higher value is more efficient. This might be set below read_expire
if writes are to be given higher priority than reads, but reads are to be
as efficient as possible when there are no writes. Generally though, it
should be some multiple of read_expire.
* write_expire, and
* write_batch_expire are equivalent to the above, for writes.
* antic_expire
Controls the maximum amount of time we can anticipate a good read (one
with a short seek distance from the most recently completed request) before
giving up. Many other factors may cause anticipation to be stopped early,
or some processes will not be "anticipated" at all. Should be a bit higher
for big seek time devices though not a linear correspondence - most
processes have only a few ms thinktime.
In addition to the tunables above there is a read-only file named est_time
which, when read, will show:
- The probability of a task exiting without a cooperating task
submitting an anticipated IO.
- The current mean think time.
- The seek distance used to determine if an incoming IO is better.

How this is used by LVM2
========================
* snapshot-merge <origin> <COW device> <persistent> <chunksize>
takes the same table arguments as the snapshot target except it only
works with persistent snapshots. This target assumes the role of the
"snapshot-origin" target and must not be loaded if the "snapshot-origin"
is still present for <origin>.
Creates a merging snapshot that takes control of the changed chunks
stored in the <COW device> of an existing snapshot, through a handover
procedure, and merges these chunks back into the <origin>. Once merging
has started (in the background) the <origin> may be opened and the merge
will continue while I/O is flowing to it. Changes to the <origin> are
deferred until the merging snapshot's corresponding chunk(s) have been
merged. Once merging has started the snapshot device, associated with
the "snapshot" target, will return -EIO when accessed.

How snapshot-merge is used by LVM2
==================================
A merging snapshot assumes the role of the "snapshot-origin" while
merging. As such the "snapshot-origin" is replaced with
"snapshot-merge". The "-real" device is not changed and the "-cow"
device is renamed to <origin name>-cow to aid LVM2's cleanup of the
merging snapshot after it completes. The "snapshot" that hands over its
COW device to the "snapshot-merge" is deactivated (unless using lvchange
--refresh); but if it is left active it will simply return I/O errors.
A snapshot will merge into its origin with the following command:
lvconvert --merge volumeGroup/snap
we'll now have this situation:

channels.
pwm1_auto_point3_pwm rw Hardwired to 255, shared for both
temperature channels.
temp1_auto_point1_temp ro Hardwired to temp2_auto_point1_temp
which is rw. Below this temperature fan stops.
temp1_auto_point2_temp rw The low-temperature limit of the proportional
range. Below this temperature
pwm1 = pwm1_auto_point2_pwm. It can go from
0 degree C to 124 degree C in steps of
4 degree C. Read it out after writing to get
the actual value.
temp1_auto_point3_temp rw Above this temperature fan runs at maximum
speed. It can go from temp1_auto_point2_temp.
It can only have certain discrete values
which depend on temp1_auto_point2_temp and
pwm1_auto_point2_pwm. Read it out after
writing to get the actual value.
temp2_auto_point1_temp rw Must be between 0 degree C and 63 degree C and
it defines the passive cooling temperature.
Below this temperature the fan stops in
the closed loop mode.
temp2_auto_point2_temp rw The low-temperature limit of the proportional
range. Below this temperature
pwm1 = pwm1_auto_point2_pwm. It can go from

Module parameters
-----------------
If your board has a BIOS that initializes the amc6821 correctly, you should
load the module with: init=0.
If your board BIOS doesn't initialize the chip, or you want
different settings, you can set the following parameters:
init=1,
pwminv: 0 default pwm output, 1 inverts pwm output.

Description
-----------
This driver permits reading of the internal temperature sensor of AMD
Family 10h and 11h processors.
All these processors have a sensor, but on those for Socket F or AM2+,
the sensor may return inconsistent values (erratum 319). The driver
will refuse to load on these revisions unless you specify the "force=1"
module parameter.
Due to technical reasons, the driver can detect only the mainboard's
socket type, not the processor's actual capabilities. Therefore, if you
are using an AM3 processor on an AM2+ mainboard, you can safely use the
"force=1" parameter.
There is one temperature measurement value, available as temp1_input in
sysfs. It is measured in degrees Celsius with a resolution of 1/8th degree.
Please note that it is defined as a relative value; to quote the AMD manual:
Tctl is the processor temperature control value, used by the platform to
control cooling systems. Tctl is a non-physical temperature on an
arbitrary scale measured in degrees. It does _not_ represent an actual
physical temperature like die or case temperature. Instead, it specifies
the processor temperature relative to the point at which the system must
supply the maximum cooling for the processor's specified maximum case
temperature and maximum thermal power dissipation.
The maximum value for Tctl is available in the file temp1_max.
If the BIOS has enabled hardware temperature control, the threshold at
which the processor will throttle itself to avoid damage is available in
temp1_crit and temp1_crit_hyst.

"HP 3D DriveGuard". It detects automatically laptops with this sensor. Known
models (full list can be found in drivers/hwmon/hp_accel.c) will have their
axis automatically oriented on standard way (eg: you can directly play
neverball). The accelerometer data is readable via
/sys/devices/platform/lis3lv02d. Reported values are scaled
to mg values (1/1000th of earth gravity).
Sysfs attributes under /sys/devices/platform/lis3lv02d/:
position - 3D position that the accelerometer reports. Format: "(x,y,z)"
calibrate - read: values (x, y, z) that are used as the base for input
class device operation.
write: forces the base to be recalibrated with the current
position.
rate - reports the sampling rate of the accelerometer device in HZ
rate - read reports the sampling rate of the accelerometer device in HZ.
write changes sampling rate of the accelerometer device.
Only values which are supported by HW are accepted.
selftest - performs selftest for the chip as specified by chip manufacturer.
This driver also provides an absolute input class device, allowing
the laptop to act as a pinball machine-esque joystick.
the laptop to act as a pinball machine-esque joystick. Joystick device can be
calibrated. Joystick device can be in two different modes.
By default output values are scaled between -32768 .. 32767. In joystick raw
mode, joystick and sysfs position entry have the same scale. There can be
small difference due to input system fuzziness feature.
Events are also available as input event device.
Selftest is meant only for hardware diagnostic purposes. It is not meant to be
used during normal operations. Position data is not corrupted during selftest
but interrupt behaviour is not guaranteed to work reliably. In test mode, the
sensing element is internally moved little bit. Selftest measures difference
between normal mode and test mode. Chip specifications tell the acceptance
limit for each type of the chip. Limits are provided via platform data
to allow adjustment of the limits without a change to the actual driver.
Seltest returns either "OK x y z" or "FAIL x y z" where x, y and z are
measured difference between modes. Axes are not remapped in selftest mode.
Measurement values are provided to help HW diagnostic applications to make
final decision.
On HP laptops, if the led infrastructure is activated, support for a led
indicating disk protection will be provided as /sys/class/leds/hp::hddprotect.
Another feature of the driver is misc device called "freefall" that
acts similar to /dev/rtc and reacts on free-fall interrupts received
from the device. It supports blocking operations, poll/select and
fasync operation modes. You must read 1 bytes from the device. The
result is number of free-fall interrupts since the last successful
read (or 255 if number of interrupts would not fit).

Brightness hotkey notes:
These are the current sane choices for brightness key mapping in
thinkpad-acpi:
Don't mess with the brightness hotkeys in a Thinkpad. If you want
notifications for OSD, use the sysfs backlight class event support.
For IBM and Lenovo models *without* ACPI backlight control (the ones on
which thinkpad-acpi will autoload its backlight interface by default,
and on which ACPI video does not export a backlight interface):
1. Don't enable or map the brightness hotkeys in thinkpad-acpi, as
these older firmware versions unfortunately won't respect the hotkey
mask for brightness keys anyway, and always reacts to them. This
usually work fine, unless X.org drivers are doing something to block
the BIOS. In that case, use (3) below. This is the default mode of
operation.
2. Enable the hotkeys, but map them to something else that is NOT
KEY_BRIGHTNESS_UP/DOWN or any other keycode that would cause
userspace to try to change the backlight level, and use that as an
on-screen-display hint.
3. IF AND ONLY IF X.org drivers find a way to block the firmware from
automatically changing the brightness, enable the hotkeys and map
them to KEY_BRIGHTNESS_UP and KEY_BRIGHTNESS_DOWN, and feed that to
something that calls xbacklight. thinkpad-acpi will not be able to
change brightness in that case either, so you should disable its
backlight interface.
For Lenovo models *with* ACPI backlight control:
1. Load up ACPI video and use that. ACPI video will report ACPI
events for brightness change keys. Do not mess with thinkpad-acpi
defaults in this case. thinkpad-acpi should not have anything to do
with backlight events in a scenario where ACPI video is loaded:
brightness hotkeys must be disabled, and the backlight interface is
to be kept disabled as well. This is the default mode of operation.
2. Do *NOT* load up ACPI video, enable the hotkeys in thinkpad-acpi,
and map them to KEY_BRIGHTNESS_UP and KEY_BRIGHTNESS_DOWN. Process
these keys on userspace somehow (e.g. by calling xbacklight).
The driver will do this automatically if it detects that ACPI video
has been disabled.
The driver will issue KEY_BRIGHTNESS_UP and KEY_BRIGHTNESS_DOWN events
automatically for the cases were userspace has to do something to
implement brightness changes. When you override these events, you will
either fail to handle properly the ThinkPads that require explicit
action to change backlight brightness, or the ThinkPads that require
that no action be taken to work properly.

Volume control -- /proc/acpi/ibm/volume
---------------------------------------
Volume control (Console Audio control)
--------------------------------------
This feature allows volume control on ThinkPad models which don't have
a hardware volume knob. The available commands are:
procfs: /proc/acpi/ibm/volume
ALSA: "ThinkPad Console Audio Control", default ID: "ThinkPadEC"
NOTE: by default, the volume control interface operates in read-only
mode, as it is supposed to be used for on-screen-display purposes.
The read/write mode can be enabled through the use of the
"volume_control=1" module parameter.
NOTE: distros are urged to not enable volume_control by default, this
should be done by the local admin only. The ThinkPad UI is for the
console audio control to be done through the volume keys only, and for
the desktop environment to just provide on-screen-display feedback.
Software volume control should be done only in the main AC97/HDA
mixer.
About the ThinkPad Console Audio control:
ThinkPads have a built-in amplifier and muting circuit that drives the
console headphone and speakers. This circuit is after the main AC97
or HDA mixer in the audio path, and under exclusive control of the
firmware.
ThinkPads have three special hotkeys to interact with the console
audio control: volume up, volume down and mute.
It is worth noting that the normal way the mute function works (on
ThinkPads that do not have a "mute LED") is:
1. Press mute to mute. It will *always* mute, you can press it as
many times as you want, and the sound will remain mute.
2. Press either volume key to unmute the ThinkPad (it will _not_
change the volume, it will just unmute).
This is a very superior design when compared to the cheap software-only
mute-toggle solution found on normal consumer laptops: you can be
absolutely sure the ThinkPad will not make noise if you press the mute
button, no matter the previous state.
The IBM ThinkPads, and the earlier Lenovo ThinkPads have variable-gain
amplifiers driving the speakers and headphone output, and the firmware
also handles volume control for the headphone and speakers on these
ThinkPads without any help from the operating system (this volume
control stage exists after the main AC97 or HDA mixer in the audio
path).
The newer Lenovo models only have firmware mute control, and depend on
the main HDA mixer to do volume control (which is done by the operating
system). In this case, the volume keys are filtered out for unmute
key press (there are some firmware bugs in this area) and delivered as
normal key presses to the operating system (thinkpad-acpi is not
involved).
The ThinkPad-ACPI volume control:
The preferred way to interact with the Console Audio control is the
ALSA interface.
The legacy procfs interface allows one to read the current state,
and if volume control is enabled, accepts the following commands:
echo up >/proc/acpi/ibm/volume
echo down >/proc/acpi/ibm/volume
echo mute >/proc/acpi/ibm/volume
echo unmute >/proc/acpi/ibm/volume
echo 'level <level>' >/proc/acpi/ibm/volume
The <level> number range is 0 to 15 although not all of them may be
distinct. The unmute the volume after the mute command, use either the
up or down command (the level command will not unmute the volume).
The current volume level and mute state is shown in the file.
The <level> number range is 0 to 14 although not all of them may be
distinct. To unmute the volume after the mute command, use either the
up or down command (the level command will not unmute the volume), or
the unmute command.
The ALSA mixer interface to this feature is still missing, but patches
to add it exist. That problem should be addressed in the not so
distant future.
You can use the volume_capabilities parameter to tell the driver
whether your thinkpad has volume control or mute-only control:
volume_capabilities=1 for mixers with mute and volume control,
volume_capabilities=2 for mixers with only mute control.
If the driver misdetects the capabilities for your ThinkPad model,
please report this to ibm-acpi-devel@lists.sourceforge.net, so that we
can update the driver.
There are two strategies for volume control. To select which one
should be used, use the volume_mode module parameter: volume_mode=1
selects EC mode, and volume_mode=3 selects EC mode with NVRAM backing
(so that volume/mute changes are remembered across shutdown/reboot).
The driver will operate in volume_mode=3 by default. If that does not
work well on your ThinkPad model, please report this to
ibm-acpi-devel@lists.sourceforge.net.
The driver supports the standard ALSA module parameters. If the ALSA
mixer is disabled, the driver will disable all volume functionality.

The ad525x_dpot driver exports a simple sysfs interface. This allows you to
work with the immediate resistance settings as well as update the saved startup
settings. Access to the factory programmed tolerance is also provided, but
interpretation of this settings is required by the end application according to
the specific part in use.
---------
Files
---------
Each dpot device will have a set of eeprom, rdac, and tolerance files. How
many depends on the actual part you have, as will the range of allowed values.
The eeprom files are used to program the startup value of the device.
The rdac files are used to program the immediate value of the device.
The tolerance files are the read-only factory programmed tolerance settings
and may vary greatly on a part-by-part basis. For exact interpretation of
this field, please consult the datasheet for your part. This is presented
as a hex file for easier parsing.
-----------
Example
-----------
Locate the device in your sysfs tree. This is probably easiest by going into
the common i2c directory and locating the device by the i2c slave address.
# ls /sys/bus/i2c/devices/
0-0022 0-0027 0-002f
So assuming the device in question is on the first i2c bus and has the slave
address of 0x2f, we descend (unrelated sysfs entries have been trimmed).
# ls /sys/bus/i2c/devices/0-002f/
eeprom0 rdac0 tolerance0
You can use simple reads/writes to access these files:
# cd /sys/bus/i2c/devices/0-002f/
# cat eeprom0

# echo 10 > eeprom0
# cat eeprom0

(*) The memory allocated by a request for an anonymous mapping will normally
be cleared by the kernel before being returned in accordance with the
Linux man pages (ver 2.22 or later).
In the MMU case this can be achieved with reasonable performance as
regions are backed by virtual pages, with the contents only being mapped
to cleared physical pages when a write happens on that specific page
(prior to which, the pages are effectively mapped to the global zero page
from which reads can take place). This spreads out the time it takes to
initialize the contents of a page - depending on the write-usage of the
mapping.
In the no-MMU case, however, anonymous mappings are backed by physical
pages, and the entire map is cleared at allocation time. This can cause
significant delays during a userspace malloc() as the C library does an
anonymous mapping and the kernel then does a memset for the entire map.
However, for memory that isn't required to be precleared - such as that
returned by malloc() - mmap() can take a MAP_UNINITIALIZED flag to
indicate to the kernel that it shouldn't bother clearing the memory before
returning it. Note that CONFIG_MMAP_ALLOW_UNINITIALIZED must be enabled
to permit this, otherwise the flag will be ignored.
uClibc uses this to speed up malloc(), and the ELF-FDPIC binfmt uses this
to allocate the brk and stack region.

subsystem-level idle callback for the device at that time.
6. Run-time PM and System Sleep
Run-time PM and system sleep (i.e., system suspend and hibernation, also known
as suspend-to-RAM and suspend-to-disk) interact with each other in a couple of
ways. If a device is active when a system sleep starts, everything is
straightforward. But what should happen if the device is already suspended?
The device may have different wake-up settings for run-time PM and system sleep.
For example, remote wake-up may be enabled for run-time suspend but disallowed
for system sleep (device_may_wakeup(dev) returns 'false'). When this happens,
the subsystem-level system suspend callback is responsible for changing the
device's wake-up setting (it may leave that to the device driver's system
suspend routine). It may be necessary to resume the device and suspend it again
in order to do so. The same is true if the driver uses different power levels
or other settings for run-time suspend and system sleep.
During system resume, devices generally should be brought back to full power,
even if they were suspended before the system sleep began. There are several
reasons for this, including:
* The device might need to switch power levels, wake-up settings, etc.
* Remote wake-up events might have been lost by the firmware.
* The device's children may need the device to be at full power in order
to resume themselves.
* The driver's idea of the device state may not agree with the device's
physical state. This can happen during resume from hibernation.
* The device might need to be reset.
* Even though the device was suspended, if its usage counter was > 0 then most
likely it would need a run-time resume in the near future anyway.
* Always going back to full power is simplest.
If the device was suspended before the sleep began, then its run-time PM status
will have to be updated to reflect the actual post-system sleep status. The way
to do this is:
pm_runtime_disable(dev);
pm_runtime_set_active(dev);
pm_runtime_enable(dev);
The PM core always increments the run-time usage counter before calling the
->prepare() callback and decrements it after calling the ->complete() callback.
Hence disabling run-time PM temporarily like this will not cause any run-time
suspend callbacks to be lost.

cell-index = <0>;
reg = <0x00000004 0x00100100 0x100>;

* OpenPIC and its interrupt numbers on Freescale's e500/e600 cores
The OpenPIC specification does not specify which interrupt source has to
become which interrupt number. This is up to the software implementation
of the interrupt controller. The only requirement is that every
interrupt source has to have an unique interrupt number / vector number.
To accomplish this the current implementation assigns the number zero to
the first source, the number one to the second source and so on until
all interrupt sources have their unique number.
Usually the assigned vector number equals the interrupt number mentioned
in the documentation for a given core / CPU. This is however not true
for the e500 cores (MPC85XX CPUs) where the documentation distinguishes
between internal and external interrupt sources and starts counting at
zero for both of them.
So what to write for external interrupt source X or internal interrupt
source Y into the device tree? Here is an example:
The memory map for the interrupt controller in the MPC8544[0] shows,
that the first interrupt source starts at 0x5_0000 (PIC Register Address
Map-Interrupt Source Configuration Registers). This source becomes the
number zero therefore:
External interrupt 0 = interrupt number 0
External interrupt 1 = interrupt number 1
External interrupt 2 = interrupt number 2
...
Every interrupt number allocates 0x20 bytes register space. So to get
its number it is sufficient to shift the lower 16bits to right by five.
So for the external interrupt 10 we have:
0x0140 >> 5 = 10
After the external sources, the internal sources follow. The in core I2C
controller on the MPC8544 for instance has the internal source number
27. Oo obtain its interrupt number we take the lower 16bits of its memory
address (0x5_0560) and shift it right:
0x0560 >> 5 = 43
Therefore the I2C device node for the MPC8544 CPU has to have the
interrupt number 43 specified in the device tree.

More interestingly, a device might undergo a manual resume or
autoresume during system suspend. With current kernels this shouldn't
happen, because manual resumes must be initiated by userspace and
autoresumes happen in response to I/O requests, but all user processes
and I/O should be quiescent during a system suspend -- thanks to the

Some platforms support multiple huge page sizes. To preallocate huge pages
Some platforms support multiple huge page sizes. To allocate huge pages
of a specific size, one must preceed the huge pages boot command parameters
with a huge page size selection parameter "hugepagesz=<size>". <size> must
be specified in bytes with optional scale suffix [kKmMgG]. The default huge
page size may be selected with the "default_hugepagesz=<size>" boot parameter.
/proc/sys/vm/nr_hugepages indicates the current number of configured [default

When multiple huge page sizes are supported, /proc/sys/vm/nr_hugepages

This command will try to adjust the number of default sized huge pages in the

over all the set of allowed nodes specified by the NUMA memory policy of the
task that modifies nr_hugepages. The default for the allowed nodes--when the
task has default memory policy--is all on-line nodes with memory. Allowed
nodes with insufficient available, contiguous memory for a huge page will be
silently skipped when allocating persistent huge pages. See the discussion
below of the interaction of task memory policy, cpusets and per node attributes
with the allocation and freeing of persistent huge pages.
The success or failure of huge page allocation depends on the amount of
physically contiguous memory that is preset in system at the time of the
physically contiguous memory that is present in system at the time of the
allocation attempt. If the kernel is unable to allocate huge pages from
some nodes in a NUMA system, it will attempt to make up the difference by
allocating extra pages on other nodes with sufficient available contiguous
memory, if any.

Interaction of Task Memory Policy with Huge Page Allocation/Freeing
Whether huge pages are allocated and freed via the /proc interface or
the /sysfs interface using the nr_hugepages_mempolicy attribute, the NUMA
nodes from which huge pages are allocated or freed are controlled by the
NUMA memory policy of the task that modifies the nr_hugepages_mempolicy
sysctl or attribute. When the nr_hugepages attribute is used, mempolicy
is ignored.
The recommended method to allocate or free huge pages to/from the kernel
huge page pool, using the nr_hugepages example above, is:
numactl --interleave <node-list> echo 20 \
>/proc/sys/vm/nr_hugepages_mempolicy
or, more succinctly:
numactl -m <node-list> echo 20 >/proc/sys/vm/nr_hugepages_mempolicy
This will allocate or free abs(20 - nr_hugepages) to or from the nodes
specified in <node-list>, depending on whether number of persistent huge pages
is initially less than or greater than 20, respectively. No huge pages will be
allocated nor freed on any node not included in the specified <node-list>.
When adjusting the persistent hugepage count via nr_hugepages_mempolicy, any
memory policy mode--bind, preferred, local or interleave--may be used. The
resulting effect on persistent huge page allocation is as follows:
1) Regardless of mempolicy mode [see Documentation/vm/numa_memory_policy.txt],
persistent huge pages will be distributed across the node or nodes
specified in the mempolicy as if "interleave" had been specified.
However, if a node in the policy does not contain sufficient contiguous
memory for a huge page, the allocation will not "fallback" to the nearest
neighbor node with sufficient contiguous memory. To do this would cause
undesirable imbalance in the distribution of the huge page pool, or
possibly, allocation of persistent huge pages on nodes not allowed by
the task's memory policy.
2) One or more nodes may be specified with the bind or interleave policy.
If more than one node is specified with the preferred policy, only the
lowest numeric id will be used. Local policy will select the node where
the task is running at the time the nodes_allowed mask is constructed.
For local policy to be deterministic, the task must be bound to a cpu or
cpus in a single node. Otherwise, the task could be migrated to some
other node at any time after launch and the resulting node will be
indeterminate. Thus, local policy is not very useful for this purpose.
Any of the other mempolicy modes may be used to specify a single node.
3) The nodes allowed mask will be derived from any non-default task mempolicy,
whether this policy was set explicitly by the task itself or one of its
ancestors, such as numactl. This means that if the task is invoked from a
shell with non-default policy, that policy will be used. One can specify a
node list of "all" with numactl --interleave or --membind [-m] to achieve
interleaving over all nodes in the system or cpuset.
4) Any task mempolicy specifed--e.g., using numactl--will be constrained by
the resource limits of any cpuset in which the task runs. Thus, there will
be no way for a task with non-default policy running in a cpuset with a
subset of the system nodes to allocate huge pages outside the cpuset
without first moving to a cpuset that contains all of the desired nodes.
5) Boot-time huge page allocation attempts to distribute the requested number
of huge pages over all on-lines nodes with memory.
Per Node Hugepages Attributes
A subset of the contents of the root huge page control directory in sysfs,
described above, will be replicated under each the system device of each
NUMA node with memory in:
/sys/devices/system/node/node[0-9]*/hugepages/
Under this directory, the subdirectory for each supported huge page size
contains the following attribute files:
nr_hugepages
free_hugepages
surplus_hugepages
The free_' and surplus_' attribute files are read-only. They return the number
of free and surplus [overcommitted] huge pages, respectively, on the parent
node.
The nr_hugepages attribute returns the total number of huge pages on the
specified node. When this attribute is written, the number of persistent huge
pages on the parent node will be adjusted to the specified value, if sufficient
resources exist, regardless of the task's mempolicy or cpuset constraints.
Note that the number of overcommit and reserve pages remain global quantities,
as we don't know until fault time, when the faulting task's mempolicy is
applied, from which node the huge page allocation will be attempted.
