What: /dev/fw[0-9]+
Date: May 2007
KernelVersion: 2.6.22
Contact: linux1394-devel@lists.sourceforge.net
Description:
The character device files /dev/fw* are the interface between
firewire-core and IEEE 1394 device drivers implemented in
userspace. The ioctl(2)- and read(2)-based ABI is defined and
documented in <linux/firewire-cdev.h>.
This ABI offers most of the features which firewire-core also
exposes to kernelspace IEEE 1394 drivers.
Each /dev/fw* is associated with one IEEE 1394 node, which can
be remote or local nodes. Operations on a /dev/fw* file have
different scope:
- The 1394 node which is associated with the file:
- Asynchronous request transmission
- Get the Configuration ROM
- Query node ID
- Query maximum speed of the path between this node
and local node
- The 1394 bus (i.e. "card") to which the node is attached to:
- Isochronous stream transmission and reception
- Asynchronous stream transmission and reception
- Asynchronous broadcast request transmission
- PHY packet transmission and reception
- Allocate, reallocate, deallocate isochronous
resources (channels, bandwidth) at the bus's IRM
- Query node IDs of local node, root node, IRM, bus
manager
- Query cycle time
- Bus reset initiation, bus reset event reception
- All 1394 buses:
- Allocation of IEEE 1212 address ranges on the local
link layers, reception of inbound requests to such
an address range, asynchronous response transmission
to inbound requests
- Addition of descriptors or directories to the local
nodes' Configuration ROM
Due to the different scope of operations and in order to let
userland implement different access permission models, some
operations are restricted to /dev/fw* files that are associated
with a local node:
- Addition of descriptors or directories to the local
nodes' Configuration ROM
- PHY packet transmission and reception
A /dev/fw* file remains associated with one particular node
during its entire life time. Bus topology changes, and hence
node ID changes, are tracked by firewire-core. ABI users do not
need to be aware of topology.
The following file operations are supported:
open(2)
Currently the only useful flags are O_RDWR.
ioctl(2)
Initiate various actions. Some take immediate effect, others
are performed asynchronously while or after the ioctl returns.
See the inline documentation in <linux/firewire-cdev.h> for
descriptions of all ioctls.
poll(2), select(2), epoll_wait(2) etc.
Watch for events to become available to be read.
read(2)
Receive various events. There are solicited events like
outbound asynchronous transaction completion or isochronous
buffer completion, and unsolicited events such as bus resets,
request reception, or PHY packet reception. Always use a read
buffer which is large enough to receive the largest event that
could ever arrive. See <linux/firewire-cdev.h> for descriptions
of all event types and for which ioctls affect reception of
events.
mmap(2)
Allocate a DMA buffer for isochronous reception or transmission
and map it into the process address space. The arguments should
be used as follows: addr = NULL, length = the desired buffer
size, i.e. number of packets times size of largest packet,
prot = at least PROT_READ for reception and at least PROT_WRITE
for transmission, flags = MAP_SHARED, fd = the handle to the
/dev/fw*, offset = 0.
Isochronous reception works in packet-per-buffer fashion except
for multichannel reception which works in buffer-fill mode.
munmap(2)
Unmap the isochronous I/O buffer from the process address space.
close(2)
Besides stopping and freeing I/O contexts that were associated
with the file descriptor, back out any changes to the local
nodes' Configuration ROM. Deallocate isochronous channels and
bandwidth at the IRM that were marked for kernel-assisted
re- and deallocation.

On some architectures, when the kernel loads any userspace program it
maps an ELF DSO into that program's address space. This DSO is called
the vDSO and it often contains useful and highly-optimized alternatives
to real syscalls.
These functions are called just like ordinary C function according to
your platform's ABI. Call them from a sensible context. (For example,
if you set CS on x86 to something strange, the vDSO functions are
within their rights to crash.) In addition, if you pass a bad
pointer to a vDSO function, you might get SIGSEGV instead of -EFAULT.
To find the DSO, parse the auxiliary vector passed to the program's
entry point. The AT_SYSINFO_EHDR entry will point to the vDSO.
The vDSO uses symbol versioning; whenever you request a symbol from the
vDSO, specify the version you are expecting.
Programs that dynamically link to glibc will use the vDSO automatically.
Otherwise, you can use the reference parser in Documentation/vDSO/parse_vdso.c.
Unless otherwise noted, the set of symbols with any given version and the
ABI of those symbols is considered stable. It may vary across architectures,
though.
(As of this writing, this ABI documentation as been confirmed for x86_64.
The maintainers of the other vDSO-using architectures should confirm
that it is correct for their architecture.)

ROM-able zImage boot from eSD
-----------------------------
An ROM-able zImage compiled with ZBOOT_ROM_SDHI may be written to eSD and
SuperH Mobile ARM will to boot directly from the SDHI hardware block.
This is achieved by the mask ROM loading the first portion of the image into
MERAM and then jumping to it. This portion contains loader code which
copies the entire image to SDRAM and jumps to it. From there the zImage
boot code proceeds as normal, uncompressing the image into its final
location and then jumping to it.
This code has been tested on an mackerel board using the developer 1A eSD
boot mode which is configured using the following jumper settings.

The eSD card needs to be present in SDHI slot 1 (CN7).
As such S1 and S33 also need to be configured as per
the notes in arch/arm/mach-shmobile/board-mackerel.c.
A partial zImage must be written to physical partition #1 (boot)
of the eSD at sector 0 in vrl4 format. A utility vrl4 is supplied to
accomplish this.
e.g.
vrl4 < zImage | dd of=/dev/sdX bs=512 count=17
A full copy of _the same_ zImage should be written to physical partition #1
(boot) of the eSD at sector 0. This should _not_ be in vrl4 format.
vrl4 < zImage | dd of=/dev/sdX bs=512
Note: The commands above assume that the physical partition has been
switched. No such facility currently exists in the Linux Kernel.
Physical partitions are described in the eSD specification. At the time of
writing they are not the same as partitions that are typically configured
using fdisk and visible through /proc/partitions

Kernel-provided User Helpers
============================
These are segment of kernel provided user code reachable from user space
at a fixed address in kernel memory. This is used to provide user space
with some operations which require kernel help because of unimplemented
native feature and/or instructions in many ARM CPUs. The idea is for this
code to be executed directly in user mode for best efficiency but which is
too intimate with the kernel counter part to be left to user libraries.
In fact this code might even differ from one CPU to another depending on
the available instruction set, or whether it is a SMP systems. In other
words, the kernel reserves the right to change this code as needed without
warning. Only the entry points and their results as documented here are
guaranteed to be stable.
This is different from (but doesn't preclude) a full blown VDSO
implementation, however a VDSO would prevent some assembly tricks with
constants that allows for efficient branching to those code segments. And
since those code segments only use a few cycles before returning to user
code, the overhead of a VDSO indirect far call would add a measurable
overhead to such minimalistic operations.
User space is expected to bypass those helpers and implement those things
inline (either in the code emitted directly by the compiler, or part of
the implementation of a library call) when optimizing for a recent enough
processor that has the necessary native support, but only if resulting
binaries are already to be incompatible with earlier ARM processors due to
useage of similar native instructions for other things. In other words
don't make binaries unable to run on earlier processors just for the sake
of not using these kernel helpers if your compiled code is not going to
use new instructions for other purpose.
New helpers may be added over time, so an older kernel may be missing some
helpers present in a newer kernel. For this reason, programs must check
the value of __kuser_helper_version (see below) before assuming that it is
safe to call any particular helper. This check should ideally be
performed only once at process startup time, and execution aborted early
if the required helpers are not provided by the kernel version that
process is running on.
kuser_helper_version
--------------------
Location: 0xffff0ffc
Reference declaration:
extern int32_t __kuser_helper_version;
Definition:
This field contains the number of helpers being implemented by the
running kernel. User space may read this to determine the availability
of a particular helper.
Usage example:
#define __kuser_helper_version (*(int32_t *)0xffff0ffc)
void check_kuser_version(void)
{
if (__kuser_helper_version < 2) {
fprintf(stderr, "can't do atomic operations, kernel too old\n");
abort();
}
}
Notes:
User space may assume that the value of this field never changes
during the lifetime of any single process. This means that this
field can be read once during the initialisation of a library or
startup phase of a program.
kuser_get_tls
-------------
Location: 0xffff0fe0
Reference prototype:
void * __kuser_get_tls(void);
Input:
lr = return address
Output:
r0 = TLS value
Clobbered registers:
none
Definition:
Get the TLS value as previously set via the __ARM_NR_set_tls syscall.
Usage example:
typedef void * (__kuser_get_tls_t)(void);
#define __kuser_get_tls (*(__kuser_get_tls_t *)0xffff0fe0)
void foo()
{
void *tls = __kuser_get_tls();
printf("TLS = %p\n", tls);
}
Notes:
- Valid only if __kuser_helper_version >= 1 (from kernel version 2.6.12).
kuser_cmpxchg
-------------
Location: 0xffff0fc0
Reference prototype:
int __kuser_cmpxchg(int32_t oldval, int32_t newval, volatile int32_t *ptr);
Input:
r0 = oldval
r1 = newval
r2 = ptr
lr = return address
Output:
r0 = success code (zero or non-zero)
C flag = set if r0 == 0, clear if r0 != 0
Clobbered registers:
r3, ip, flags
Definition:
Atomically store newval in *ptr only if *ptr is equal to oldval.
Return zero if *ptr was changed or non-zero if no exchange happened.
The C flag is also set if *ptr was changed to allow for assembly
optimization in the calling code.
Usage example:
typedef int (__kuser_cmpxchg_t)(int oldval, int newval, volatile int *ptr);
#define __kuser_cmpxchg (*(__kuser_cmpxchg_t *)0xffff0fc0)
int atomic_add(volatile int *ptr, int val)
{
int old, new;
do {
old = *ptr;
new = old + val;
} while(__kuser_cmpxchg(old, new, ptr));
return new;
}
Notes:
- This routine already includes memory barriers as needed.
- Valid only if __kuser_helper_version >= 2 (from kernel version 2.6.12).
kuser_memory_barrier
--------------------
Location: 0xffff0fa0
Reference prototype:
void __kuser_memory_barrier(void);
Input:
lr = return address
Output:
none
Clobbered registers:
none
Definition:
Apply any needed memory barrier to preserve consistency with data modified
manually and __kuser_cmpxchg usage.
Usage example:
typedef void (__kuser_dmb_t)(void);
#define __kuser_dmb (*(__kuser_dmb_t *)0xffff0fa0)
Notes:
- Valid only if __kuser_helper_version >= 3 (from kernel version 2.6.15).
kuser_cmpxchg64
---------------
Location: 0xffff0f60
Reference prototype:
int __kuser_cmpxchg64(const int64_t *oldval,
const int64_t *newval,
volatile int64_t *ptr);
Input:
r0 = pointer to oldval
r1 = pointer to newval
r2 = pointer to target value
lr = return address
Output:
r0 = success code (zero or non-zero)
C flag = set if r0 == 0, clear if r0 != 0
Clobbered registers:
r3, lr, flags
Definition:
Atomically store the 64-bit value pointed by *newval in *ptr only if *ptr
is equal to the 64-bit value pointed by *oldval. Return zero if *ptr was
changed or non-zero if no exchange happened.
The C flag is also set if *ptr was changed to allow for assembly
optimization in the calling code.
Usage example:
typedef int (__kuser_cmpxchg64_t)(const int64_t *oldval,
const int64_t *newval,
volatile int64_t *ptr);
#define __kuser_cmpxchg64 (*(__kuser_cmpxchg64_t *)0xffff0f60)
int64_t atomic_add64(volatile int64_t *ptr, int64_t val)
{
int64_t old, new;
do {
old = *ptr;
new = old + val;
} while(__kuser_cmpxchg64(&old, &new, ptr));
return new;
}
Notes:
- This routine already includes memory barriers as needed.
- Due to the length of this sequence, this spans 2 conventional kuser
"slots", therefore 0xffff0f80 is not used as a valid entry point.
- Valid only if __kuser_helper_version >= 5 (from kernel version 3.1).

In most cases you can utilize SPI MODE_3 instead of MODE_0 to work-around this
behavior. If your SPI slave device in question requires SPI MODE_0 or MODE_2
timing, you can utilize the GPIO controlled SPI Slave Select option instead.
In this case, you should use GPIO based CS for all of your slaves and not just
the ones using mode 0 or 2 in order to guarantee correct CS toggling behavior.
You can even use the same pin whose peripheral role is a SSEL,
but use it as a GPIO instead.

This is similar to numa_maps but operates on a per-memcg basis. This is
useful for providing visibility into the numa locality information within
an memcg since the pages are allowed to be allocated from any physical
node. One of the usecases is evaluating application performance by
combining this information with the application's cpu allocation.
We export "total", "file", "anon" and "unevictable" pages per-node for
each memcg. The ouput format of memory.numa_stat is:

Nodes that makes use of GPIOs should specify them using one or more

GPIO properties should be named "[<name>-]gpios". Exact
meaning of each gpios property must be documented in the device tree
binding for each device.
For example, the following could be used to describe gpios pins to use
as chip select lines; with chip selects 0, 1 and 3 populated, and chip
select 2 left empty:

only uses one.
gpio-specifier may encode: bank, pin position inside the bank,

Rationale
=========
How significant is the cache maintenance overhead?
It depends. Fast eMMC and multiple cache levels with speculative cache
pre-fetch makes the cache overhead relatively significant. If the DMA
preparations for the next request are done in parallel with the current
transfer, the DMA preparation overhead would not affect the MMC performance.
The intention of non-blocking (asynchronous) MMC requests is to minimize the
time between when an MMC request ends and another MMC request begins.
Using mmc_wait_for_req(), the MMC controller is idle while dma_map_sg and
dma_unmap_sg are processing. Using non-blocking MMC requests makes it
possible to prepare the caches for next job in parallel with an active
MMC request.
MMC block driver
================
The mmc_blk_issue_rw_rq() in the MMC block driver is made non-blocking.
The increase in throughput is proportional to the time it takes to
prepare (major part of preparations are dma_map_sg() and dma_unmap_sg())
a request and how fast the memory is. The faster the MMC/SD is the
more significant the prepare request time becomes. Roughly the expected
performance gain is 5% for large writes and 10% on large reads on a L2 cache
platform. In power save mode, when clocks run on a lower frequency, the DMA
preparation may cost even more. As long as these slower preparations are run
in parallel with the transfer performance won't be affected.
Details on measurements from IOZone and mmc_test
================================================
https://wiki.linaro.org/WorkingGroups/Kernel/Specs/StoragePerfMMC-async-req
MMC core API extension
======================
There is one new public function mmc_start_req().
It starts a new MMC command request for a host. The function isn't
truly non-blocking. If there is an ongoing async request it waits
for completion of that request and starts the new one and returns. It
doesn't wait for the new request to complete. If there is no ongoing
request it starts the new request and returns immediately.
MMC host extensions
===================
There are two optional members in the mmc_host_ops -- pre_req() and
post_req() -- that the host driver may implement in order to move work
to before and after the actual mmc_host_ops.request() function is called.
In the DMA case pre_req() may do dma_map_sg() and prepare the DMA
descriptor, and post_req() runs the dma_unmap_sg().
Optimize for the first request
==============================
The first request in a series of requests can't be prepared in parallel
with the previous transfer, since there is no previous request.
The argument is_first_req in pre_req() indicates that there is no previous
request. The host driver may optimize for this scenario to minimize
the performance loss. A way to optimize for this is to split the current
request in two chunks, prepare the first chunk and start the request,
and finally prepare the second chunk and start the transfer.
Pseudocode to handle is_first_req scenario with minimal prepare overhead:
if (is_first_req && req->size > threshold)
/* start MMC transfer for the complete transfer size */
mmc_start_command(MMC_CMD_TRANSFER_FULL_SIZE);
/*
* Begin to prepare DMA while cmd is being processed by MMC.
* The first chunk of the request should take the same time
* to prepare as the "MMC process command time".
* If prepare time exceeds MMC cmd time
* the transfer is delayed, guesstimate max 4k as first chunk size.
*/
prepare_1st_chunk_for_dma(req);
/* flush pending desc to the DMAC (dmaengine.h) */
dma_issue_pending(req->dma_desc);
prepare_2nd_chunk_for_dma(req);
/*
* The second issue_pending should be called before MMC runs out
* of the first chunk. If the MMC runs out of the first data chunk
* before this call, the transfer is delayed.
*/
dma_issue_pending(req->dma_desc);

Netdev features mess and how to get out from it alive
=====================================================
Author:
Michał Mirosław <mirq-linux@rere.qmqm.pl>
Part I: Feature sets
======================
Long gone are the days when a network card would just take and give packets
verbatim. Today's devices add multiple features and bugs (read: offloads)
that relieve an OS of various tasks like generating and checking checksums,
splitting packets, classifying them. Those capabilities and their state
are commonly referred to as netdev features in Linux kernel world.
There are currently three sets of features relevant to the driver, and
one used internally by network core:
1. netdev->hw_features set contains features whose state may possibly
be changed (enabled or disabled) for a particular device by user's
request. This set should be initialized in ndo_init callback and not
changed later.
2. netdev->features set contains features which are currently enabled
for a device. This should be changed only by network core or in
error paths of ndo_set_features callback.
3. netdev->vlan_features set contains features whose state is inherited
by child VLAN devices (limits netdev->features set). This is currently
used for all VLAN devices whether tags are stripped or inserted in
hardware or software.
4. netdev->wanted_features set contains feature set requested by user.
This set is filtered by ndo_fix_features callback whenever it or
some device-specific conditions change. This set is internal to
networking core and should not be referenced in drivers.
Part II: Controlling enabled features
=======================================
When current feature set (netdev->features) is to be changed, new set
is calculated and filtered by calling ndo_fix_features callback
and netdev_fix_features(). If the resulting set differs from current
set, it is passed to ndo_set_features callback and (if the callback
returns success) replaces value stored in netdev->features.
NETDEV_FEAT_CHANGE notification is issued after that whenever current
set might have changed.
The following events trigger recalculation:
1. device's registration, after ndo_init returned success
2. user requested changes in features state
3. netdev_update_features() is called
ndo_*_features callbacks are called with rtnl_lock held. Missing callbacks
are treated as always returning success.
A driver that wants to trigger recalculation must do so by calling
netdev_update_features() while holding rtnl_lock. This should not be done
from ndo_*_features callbacks. netdev->features should not be modified by
driver except by means of ndo_fix_features callback.
Part III: Implementation hints
================================
* ndo_fix_features:
All dependencies between features should be resolved here. The resulting
set can be reduced further by networking core imposed limitations (as coded
in netdev_fix_features()). For this reason it is safer to disable a feature
when its dependencies are not met instead of forcing the dependency on.
This callback should not modify hardware nor driver state (should be
stateless). It can be called multiple times between successive
ndo_set_features calls.
Callback must not alter features contained in NETIF_F_SOFT_FEATURES or
NETIF_F_NEVER_CHANGE sets. The exception is NETIF_F_VLAN_CHALLENGED but
care must be taken as the change won't affect already configured VLANs.
* ndo_set_features:
Hardware should be reconfigured to match passed feature set. The set
should not be altered unless some error condition happens that can't
be reliably detected in ndo_fix_features. In this case, the callback
should update netdev->features to match resulting hardware state.
Errors returned are not (and cannot be) propagated anywhere except dmesg.
(Note: successful return is zero, >0 means silent error.)
Part IV: Features
===================
For current list of features, see include/linux/netdev_features.h.
This section describes semantics of some of them.
* Transmit checksumming
For complete description, see comments near the top of include/linux/skbuff.h.
Note: NETIF_F_HW_CSUM is a superset of NETIF_F_IP_CSUM + NETIF_F_IPV6_CSUM.
It means that device can fill TCP/UDP-like checksum anywhere in the packets
whatever headers there might be.
* Transmit TCP segmentation offload
NETIF_F_TSO_ECN means that hardware can properly split packets with CWR bit
set, be it TCPv4 (when NETIF_F_TSO is enabled) or TCPv6 (NETIF_F_TSO6).
* Transmit DMA from high memory
On platforms where this is relevant, NETIF_F_HIGHDMA signals that
ndo_start_xmit can handle skbs with frags in high memory.
* Transmit scatter-gather
Those features say that ndo_start_xmit can handle fragmented skbs:
NETIF_F_SG --- paged skbs (skb_shinfo()->frags), NETIF_F_FRAGLIST ---
chained skbs (skb->next/prev list).
* Software features
Features contained in NETIF_F_SOFT_FEATURES are features of networking
stack. Driver should not change behaviour based on them.
* LLTX driver (deprecated for hardware drivers)
NETIF_F_LLTX should be set in drivers that implement their own locking in
transmit path or don't need locking at all (e.g. software tunnels).
In ndo_start_xmit, it is recommended to use a try_lock and return
NETDEV_TX_LOCKED when the spin lock fails. The locking should also properly
protect against other callbacks (the rules you need to find out).
Don't use it for new drivers.
* netns-local device
NETIF_F_NETNS_LOCAL is set for devices that are not allowed to move between
network namespaces (e.g. loopback).
Don't use it in drivers.
* VLAN challenged
NETIF_F_VLAN_CHALLENGED should be set for devices which can't cope with VLAN
headers. Some drivers set this because the cards can't handle the bigger MTU.
[FIXME: Those cases could be fixed in VLAN code by allowing only reduced-MTU
VLANs. This may be not useful, though.]

Linux NFC subsystem
===================
The Near Field Communication (NFC) subsystem is required to standardize the
NFC device drivers development and to create an unified userspace interface.
This document covers the architecture overview, the device driver interface
description and the userspace interface description.
Architecture overview
---------------------
The NFC subsystem is responsible for:
- NFC adapters management;
- Polling for targets;
- Low-level data exchange;
The subsystem is divided in some parts. The 'core' is responsible for
providing the device driver interface. On the other side, it is also
responsible for providing an interface to control operations and low-level
data exchange.
The control operations are available to userspace via generic netlink.
The low-level data exchange interface is provided by the new socket family
PF_NFC. The NFC_SOCKPROTO_RAW performs raw communication with NFC targets.

Device Driver Interface
-----------------------
When registering on the NFC subsystem, the device driver must inform the core
of the set of supported NFC protocols and the set of ops callbacks. The ops
callbacks that must be implemented are the following:
* start_poll - setup the device to poll for targets
* stop_poll - stop on progress polling operation
* activate_target - select and initialize one of the targets found
* deactivate_target - deselect and deinitialize the selected target
* data_exchange - send data and receive the response (transceive operation)
Userspace interface
--------------------
The userspace interface is divided in control operations and low-level data
exchange operation.
CONTROL OPERATIONS:
Generic netlink is used to implement the interface to the control operations.
The operations are composed by commands and events, all listed below:
* NFC_CMD_GET_DEVICE - get specific device info or dump the device list
* NFC_CMD_START_POLL - setup a specific device to polling for targets
* NFC_CMD_STOP_POLL - stop the polling operation in a specific device
* NFC_CMD_GET_TARGET - dump the list of targets found by a specific device
* NFC_EVENT_DEVICE_ADDED - reports an NFC device addition
* NFC_EVENT_DEVICE_REMOVED - reports an NFC device removal
* NFC_EVENT_TARGETS_FOUND - reports START_POLL results when 1 or more targets
are found
The user must call START_POLL to poll for NFC targets, passing the desired NFC
protocols through NFC_ATTR_PROTOCOLS attribute. The device remains in polling
state until it finds any target. However, the user can stop the polling
operation by calling STOP_POLL command. In this case, it will be checked if
the requester of STOP_POLL is the same of START_POLL.
If the polling operation finds one or more targets, the event TARGETS_FOUND is
sent (including the device id). The user must call GET_TARGET to get the list of
all targets found by such device. Each reply message has target attributes with
relevant information such as the supported NFC protocols.
All polling operations requested through one netlink socket are stopped when
it's closed.
LOW-LEVEL DATA EXCHANGE:
The userspace must use PF_NFC sockets to perform any data communication with
targets. All NFC sockets use AF_NFC:
struct sockaddr_nfc {
sa_family_t sa_family;
__u32 dev_idx;
__u32 target_idx;
__u32 nfc_protocol;
};
To establish a connection with one target, the user must create an
NFC_SOCKPROTO_RAW socket and call the 'connect' syscall with the sockaddr_nfc
struct correctly filled. All information comes from NFC_EVENT_TARGETS_FOUND
netlink event. As a target can support more than one NFC protocol, the user
must inform which protocol it wants to use.
Internally, 'connect' will result in an activate_target call to the driver.
When the socket is closed, the target is deactivated.
The data format exchanged through the sockets is NFC protocol dependent. For
instance, when communicating with MIFARE tags, the data exchanged are MIFARE
commands and their responses.
The first received package is the response to the first sent package and so
on. In order to allow valid "empty" responses, every data received has a NULL
header of 1 byte.

analogous to the subsystem-level and device driver callbacks that are executed
for the given device during all power transitions, in addition to the respective
subsystem-level callbacks. Specifically, the power domain "suspend" callbacks

executed after the analogous subsystem-level callbacks, while the power domain

for the given device during all power transitions, instead of the respective
subsystem-level callbacks. Specifically, if a device's pm_domain pointer is
not NULL, the ->suspend() callback from the object pointed to by it will be
executed instead of its subsystem's (e.g. bus type's) ->suspend() callback and
anlogously for all of the remaining callbacks. In other words, power management
domain callbacks, if defined for the given device, always take precedence over
the callbacks provided by the device's subsystem (e.g. bus type).
Power domain ->runtime_idle() callback is executed before the subsystem-level
->runtime_idle() callback and the result returned by it is not ignored. Namely,
if it returns error code, the subsystem-level ->runtime_idle() callback will not
be called and the helper function rpm_idle() executing it will return error
code. This mechanism is intended to help platforms where saving device state
is a time consuming operation and should only be carried out if all devices
in the power domain are idle, before turning off the shared power resource(s).
Namely, the power domain ->runtime_idle() callback may return error code until
the pm_runtime_idle() helper (or its asychronous version) has been called for
all devices in the power domain (it is recommended that the returned error code
be -EBUSY in those cases), preventing the subsystem-level ->runtime_idle()
callback from being run prematurely.
The support for device power domains is only relevant to platforms needing to
use the same subsystem-level (e.g. platform bus type) and device driver power
management callbacks in many different power domain configurations and wanting
to avoid incorporating the support for power domains into the subsystem-level
callbacks. The other platforms need not implement it or take it into account
in any way.
System Devices
--------------
System devices (sysdevs) follow a slightly different API, which can be found in
include/linux/sysdev.h
drivers/base/sys.c
System devices will be suspended with interrupts disabled, and after all other
devices have been suspended. On resume, they will be resumed before any other
devices, and also with interrupts disabled. These things occur in special
"sysdev_driver" phases, which affect only system devices.
Thus, after the suspend_noirq (or freeze_noirq or poweroff_noirq) phase, when
the non-boot CPUs are all offline and IRQs are disabled on the remaining online
CPU, then a sysdev_driver.suspend phase is carried out, and the system enters a
sleep state (or a system image is created). During resume (or after the image
has been created or loaded) a sysdev_driver.resume phase is carried out, IRQs
are enabled on the only online CPU, the non-boot CPUs are enabled, and the
resume_noirq (or thaw_noirq or restore_noirq) phase begins.
Code to actually enter and exit the system-wide low power state sometimes
involves hardware details that are only known to the boot firmware, and
may leave a CPU running software (from SRAM or flash memory) that monitors
the system and manages its wakeup sequence.
The support for device power management domains is only relevant to platforms
needing to use the same device driver power management callbacks in many
different power domain configurations and wanting to avoid incorporating the
support for power domains into subsystem-level callbacks, for example by
modifying the platform bus type. Other platforms need not implement it or take
it into account in any way.

calling pm_runtime_set_active() for the device will affect the parent, unless
the parent's 'power.ignore_children' flag is set. Namely, in that case the
parent won't be able to suspend at run time, using the PM core's helper
functions, as long as the child's status is 'active', even if the child's

once pm_runtime_set_active() has been called for the device, pm_runtime_enable()
should be called for it too as soon as reasonably possible or its run-time PM

status should be changed back to 'suspended' with the help of

incremented by the core before executing ->probe() and ->remove(). Still, it

incremented by the driver core before executing ->probe(). Still, it may be
desirable to suspend the device as soon as ->probe() has finished, so the driver
core uses pm_runtime_put_sync() to invoke the subsystem-level idle callback for
the device at that time.
Moreover, the driver core prevents runtime PM callbacks from racing with the bus
notifier callback in __device_release_driver(), which is necessary, because the
notifier is used by some subsystems to carry out operations affecting the
runtime PM functionality. It does so by calling pm_runtime_get_sync() before
driver_sysfs_remove() and the BUS_NOTIFY_UNBIND_DRIVER notifications. This
resumes the device if it's in the suspended state and prevents it from
being suspended again while those routines are being executed.
To allow bus types and drivers to put devices into the suspended state by
calling pm_runtime_suspend() from their ->remove() routines, the driver core
executes pm_runtime_put_sync() after running the BUS_NOTIFY_UNBIND_DRIVER
notifications in __device_release_driver(). This requires bus types and
drivers to make their ->remove() callbacks avoid races with runtime PM directly,
but also it allows of more flexibility in the handling of devices during the
removal of their drivers.
The user space can effectively disallow the driver of the device to power manage
it at run time by changing the value of its /sys/devices/.../power/control
attribute to "on", which causes pm_runtime_forbid() to be called. In principle,
this mechanism may also be used by the driver to effectively turn off the
run-time power management of the device until the user space turns it on.
Namely, during the initialization the driver can make sure that the run-time PM

Namely, during the initialization the driver can make sure that the runtime PM
status of the device is 'active' and call pm_runtime_forbid(). It should be
noted, however, that if the user space has already intentionally changed the
value of /sys/devices/.../power/control to "auto" to allow the driver to power
manage the device at run time, the driver may confuse it by using

Runtime 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
The device may have different wake-up settings for runtime PM and system sleep.
For example, remote wake-up may be enabled for runtime 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.
or other settings for runtime 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:
During system resume, the simplest approach is to bring all devices back to full
power, even if they had been suspended before the system suspend began. There
are several reasons for this, including:

likely it would need a runtime 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:
If the device had been suspended before the system suspend began and it's
brought back to full power during resume, then its runtime 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.
The PM core always increments the runtime usage counter before calling the
->suspend() callback and decrements it after calling the ->resume() callback.
Hence disabling runtime PM temporarily like this will not cause any runtime
suspend attempts to be permanently lost. If the usage count goes to zero
following the return of the ->resume() callback, the ->runtime_idle() callback
will be invoked as usual.
On some systems, however, system sleep is not entered through a global firmware
or hardware operation. Instead, all hardware components are put into low-power
states directly by the kernel in a coordinated way. Then, the system sleep
state effectively follows from the states the hardware components end up in
and the system is woken up from that state by a hardware interrupt or a similar
mechanism entirely under the kernel's control. As a result, the kernel never
gives control away and the states of all devices during resume are precisely
known to it. If that is the case and none of the situations listed above takes
place (in particular, if the system is not waking up from hibernation), it may
be more efficient to leave the devices that had been suspended before the system
suspend began in the suspended state.
The PM core does its best to reduce the probability of race conditions between
the runtime PM and system suspend/resume (and hibernation) callbacks by carrying
out the following operations:
* During system suspend it calls pm_runtime_get_noresume() and
pm_runtime_barrier() for every device right before executing the
subsystem-level .suspend() callback for it. In addition to that it calls
pm_runtime_disable() for every device right after executing the
subsystem-level .suspend() callback for it.
* During system resume it calls pm_runtime_enable() and pm_runtime_put_sync()
for every device right before and right after executing the subsystem-level
.resume() callback for it, respectively.

Channel attached Tape device driver
-----------------------------WARNING-----------------------------------------
This driver is considered to be EXPERIMENTAL. Do NOT use it in
production environments. Feel free to test it and report problems back to us.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
The LINUX for zSeries tape device driver manages channel attached tape drives
which are compatible to IBM 3480 or IBM 3490 magnetic tape subsystems. This
includes various models of these devices (for example the 3490E).
Tape driver features
The device driver supports a maximum of 128 tape devices.
No official LINUX device major number is assigned to the zSeries tape device
driver. It allocates major numbers dynamically and reports them on system
startup.
Typically it will get major number 254 for both the character device front-end
and the block device front-end.
The tape device driver needs no kernel parameters. All supported devices
present are detected on driver initialization at system startup or module load.
The devices detected are ordered by their subchannel numbers. The device with
the lowest subchannel number becomes device 0, the next one will be device 1
and so on.
Tape character device front-end
The usual way to read or write to the tape device is through the character
device front-end. The zSeries tape device driver provides two character devices
for each physical device -- the first of these will rewind automatically when
it is closed, the second will not rewind automatically.
The character device nodes are named /dev/rtibm0 (rewinding) and /dev/ntibm0
(non-rewinding) for the first device, /dev/rtibm1 and /dev/ntibm1 for the
second, and so on.
The character device front-end can be used as any other LINUX tape device. You
can write to it and read from it using LINUX facilities such as GNU tar. The
tool mt can be used to perform control operations, such as rewinding the tape
or skipping a file.
Most LINUX tape software should work with either tape character device.
Tape block device front-end
The tape device may also be accessed as a block device in read-only mode.
This could be used for software installation in the same way as it is used with
other operation systems on the zSeries platform (and most LINUX
distributions are shipped on compact disk using ISO9660 filesystems).
One block device node is provided for each physical device. These are named
/dev/btibm0 for the first device, /dev/btibm1 for the second and so on.
You should only use the ISO9660 filesystem on LINUX for zSeries tapes because
the physical tape devices cannot perform fast seeks and the ISO9660 system is
optimized for this situation.
Tape block device example
In this example a tape with an ISO9660 filesystem is created using the first
tape device. ISO9660 filesystem support must be built into your system kernel
for this.
The mt command is used to issue tape commands and the mkisofs command to
create an ISO9660 filesystem:
- create a LINUX directory (somedir) with the contents of the filesystem
mkdir somedir
cp contents somedir
- insert a tape
- ensure the tape is at the beginning
mt -f /dev/ntibm0 rewind
- set the blocksize of the character driver. The blocksize 2048 bytes
is commonly used on ISO9660 CD-Roms
mt -f /dev/ntibm0 setblk 2048
- write the filesystem to the character device driver
mkisofs -o /dev/ntibm0 somedir
- rewind the tape again
mt -f /dev/ntibm0 rewind
- Now you can mount your new filesystem as a block device:
mount -t iso9660 -o ro,block=2048 /dev/btibm0 /mnt
TODO List
- Driver has to be stabilized still
BUGS
This driver is considered BETA, which means some weaknesses may still
be in it.
If an error occurs which cannot be handled by the code you will get a
sense-data dump.In that case please do the following:
1. set the tape driver debug level to maximum:
echo 6 >/proc/s390dbf/tape/level
2. re-perform the actions which produced the bug. (Hopefully the bug will
reappear.)
3. get a snapshot from the debug-feature:
cat /proc/s390dbf/tape/hex_ascii >somefile
4. Now put the snapshot together with a detailed description of the situation
that led to the bug:
- Which tool did you use?
- Which hardware do you have?
- Was your tape unit online?
- Is it a shared tape unit?
5. Send an email with your bug report to:

This file explains the codec-specific mixer controls.
Realtek codecs
--------------
* Channel Mode
This is an enum control to change the surround-channel setup,
appears only when the surround channels are available.
It gives the number of channels to be used, "2ch", "4ch", "6ch",
and "8ch". According to the configuration, this also controls the
jack-retasking of multi-I/O jacks.
* Auto-Mute Mode
This is an enum control to change the auto-mute behavior of the
headphone and line-out jacks. If built-in speakers and headphone
and/or line-out jacks are available on a machine, this controls
appears.
When there are only either headphones or line-out jacks, it gives
"Disabled" and "Enabled" state. When enabled, the speaker is muted
automatically when a jack is plugged.
When both headphone and line-out jacks are present, it gives
"Disabled", "Speaker Only" and "Line-Out+Speaker". When
speaker-only is chosen, plugging into a headphone or a line-out jack
mutes the speakers, but not line-outs. When line-out+speaker is
selected, plugging to a headphone jack mutes both speakers and
line-outs.
IDT/Sigmatel codecs
-------------------
* Analog Loopback
This control enables/disables the analog-loopback circuit. This
appears only when "loopback" is set to true in a codec hint
(see HD-Audio.txt). Note that on some codecs the analog-loopback
and the normal PCM playback are exclusive, i.e. when this is on, you
won't hear any PCM stream.
* Swap Center/LFE
Swaps the center and LFE channel order. Normally, the left
corresponds to the center and the right to the LFE. When this is
ON, the left to the LFE and the right to the center.
* Headphone as Line Out
When this control is ON, treat the headphone jacks as line-out
jacks. That is, the headphone won't auto-mute the other line-outs,
and no HP-amp is set to the pins.
* Mic Jack Mode, Line Jack Mode, etc
These enum controls the direction and the bias of the input jack
pins. Depending on the jack type, it can set as "Mic In" and "Line
In", for determining the input bias, or it can be set to "Line Out"
when the pin is a multi-I/O jack for surround channels.
VIA codecs
----------
* Smart 5.1
An enum control to re-task the multi-I/O jacks for surround outputs.
When it's ON, the corresponding input jacks (usually a line-in and a
mic-in) are switched as the surround and the CLFE output jacks.
* Independent HP
When this enum control is enabled, the headphone output is routed
from an individual stream (the third PCM such as hw:0,2) instead of
the primary stream. In the case the headphone DAC is shared with a
side or a CLFE-channel DAC, the DAC is switched to the headphone
automatically.
* Loopback Mixing
An enum control to determine whether the analog-loopback route is
enabled or not. When it's enabled, the analog-loopback is mixed to
the front-channel. Also, the same route is used for the headphone
and speaker outputs. As a side-effect, when this mode is set, the
individual volume controls will be no longer available for
headphones and speakers because there is only one DAC connected to a
mixer widget.
* Dynamic Power-Control
This control determines whether the dynamic power-control per jack
detection is enabled or not. When enabled, the widgets power state
(D0/D3) are changed dynamically depending on the jack plugging
state for saving power consumptions. However, if your system
doesn't provide a proper jack-detection, this won't work; in such a
case, turn this control OFF.
* Jack Detect
This control is provided only for VT1708 codec which gives no proper
unsolicited event per jack plug. When this is on, the driver polls
the jack detection so that the headphone auto-mute can work, while
turning this off would reduce the power consumption.

The above is always safe. It will disable interrupts _locally_, but the
spinlock itself will guarantee the global lock, so it will guarantee that
there is only one thread-of-control within the region(s) protected by that
lock. This works well even under UP. The above sequence under UP
essentially is just the same as doing

critical regions had better be critical for different things (ie they
can't stomp on each other).
The above is a problem mainly if you end up mixing code - for example the
routines in ll_rw_block() tend to use cli/sti to protect the atomicity of
their actions, and if a driver uses spinlocks instead then you should
think about issues like the above.

The single spin-lock primitives above are by no means the only ones. They
are the most safe ones, and the ones that work under all circumstances,
but partly _because_ they are safe they are also fairly slow. They are
much faster than a generic global cli/sti pair, but slower than they'd
need to be, because they do have to disable interrupts (which is just a
single instruction on a x86, but it's an expensive one - and on other
architectures it can be worse).

If the KVM_CAP_NR_VCPUS does not exist, you should assume that max_vcpus is 4
cpus max.
On powerpc using book3s_hv mode, the vcpus are mapped onto virtual
threads in one or more virtual CPU cores. (This is because the
hardware requires all the hardware threads in a CPU core to be in the
same partition.) The KVM_CAP_PPC_SMT capability indicates the number
of vcpus per virtual core (vcore). The vcore id is obtained by
dividing the vcpu id by the number of vcpus per vcore. The vcpus in a
given vcore will always be in the same physical core as each other
(though that might be a different physical core from time to time).
Userspace can control the threading (SMT) mode of the guest by its
allocation of vcpu ids. For example, if userspace wants
single-threaded guest vcpus, it should make all vcpu ids be a multiple
of the number of vcpus per vcore.

This ioctl attaches or detaches an ioeventfd to a legal pio/mmio address
within the guest. A guest write in the registered address will signal the
provided event instead of triggering an exit.
struct kvm_ioeventfd {

__u32 len; /* 1, 2, 4, or 8 bytes */
__s32 fd;

#define KVM_IOEVENTFD_FLAG_PIO (1 << kvm_ioeventfd_flag_nr_pio)
#define KVM_IOEVENTFD_FLAG_DEASSIGN (1 << kvm_ioeventfd_flag_nr_deassign)

to the registered address is equal to datamatch in struct kvm_ioeventfd.
4.62 KVM_CREATE_SPAPR_TCE
Capability: KVM_CAP_SPAPR_TCE
Architectures: powerpc
Type: vm ioctl
Parameters: struct kvm_create_spapr_tce (in)
Returns: file descriptor for manipulating the created TCE table
This creates a virtual TCE (translation control entry) table, which
is an IOMMU for PAPR-style virtual I/O. It is used to translate
logical addresses used in virtual I/O into guest physical addresses,
and provides a scatter/gather capability for PAPR virtual I/O.
/* for KVM_CAP_SPAPR_TCE */
struct kvm_create_spapr_tce {
__u64 liobn;
__u32 window_size;
};
The liobn field gives the logical IO bus number for which to create a
TCE table. The window_size field specifies the size of the DMA window
which this TCE table will translate - the table will contain one 64
bit TCE entry for every 4kiB of the DMA window.
When the guest issues an H_PUT_TCE hcall on a liobn for which a TCE
table has been created using this ioctl(), the kernel will handle it
in real mode, updating the TCE table. H_PUT_TCE calls for other
liobns will cause a vm exit and must be handled by userspace.
The return value is a file descriptor which can be passed to mmap(2)
to map the created TCE table into userspace. This lets userspace read
the entries written by kernel-handled H_PUT_TCE calls, and also lets
userspace update the TCE table directly which is useful in some
circumstances.
4.63 KVM_ALLOCATE_RMA
Capability: KVM_CAP_PPC_RMA
Architectures: powerpc
Type: vm ioctl
Parameters: struct kvm_allocate_rma (out)
Returns: file descriptor for mapping the allocated RMA
This allocates a Real Mode Area (RMA) from the pool allocated at boot
time by the kernel. An RMA is a physically-contiguous, aligned region
of memory used on older POWER processors to provide the memory which
will be accessed by real-mode (MMU off) accesses in a KVM guest.
POWER processors support a set of sizes for the RMA that usually
includes 64MB, 128MB, 256MB and some larger powers of two.
/* for KVM_ALLOCATE_RMA */
struct kvm_allocate_rma {
__u64 rma_size;
};
The return value is a file descriptor which can be passed to mmap(2)
to map the allocated RMA into userspace. The mapped area can then be
passed to the KVM_SET_USER_MEMORY_REGION ioctl to establish it as the
RMA for a virtual machine. The size of the RMA in bytes (which is
fixed at host kernel boot time) is returned in the rma_size field of
the argument structure.
The KVM_CAP_PPC_RMA capability is 1 or 2 if the KVM_ALLOCATE_RMA ioctl
is supported; 2 if the processor requires all virtual machines to have
an RMA, or 1 if the processor can use an RMA but doesn't require it,
because it supports the Virtual RMA (VRMA) facility.

In the first case there is an additional complication if CR4.SMEP is
enabled: since we've turned the page into a kernel page, the kernel may now
execute it. We handle this by also setting spte.nx. If we get a user
fetch or read fault, we'll change spte.u=1 and spte.nx=gpte.nx back.
To prevent an spte that was converted into a kernel page with cr0.wp=0
from being written by the kernel after cr0.wp has changed to 1, we make
the value of cr0.wp part of the page role. This means that an spte created
with one value of cr0.wp cannot be used when cr0.wp has a different value -
it will simply be missed by the shadow page lookup code. A similar issue
exists when an spte created with cr0.wp=0 and cr4.smep=0 is used after

Nested VMX
==========
Overview
---------
On Intel processors, KVM uses Intel's VMX (Virtual-Machine eXtensions)
to easily and efficiently run guest operating systems. Normally, these guests
*cannot* themselves be hypervisors running their own guests, because in VMX,
guests cannot use VMX instructions.
The "Nested VMX" feature adds this missing capability - of running guest
hypervisors (which use VMX) with their own nested guests. It does so by
allowing a guest to use VMX instructions, and correctly and efficiently
emulating them using the single level of VMX available in the hardware.
We describe in much greater detail the theory behind the nested VMX feature,
its implementation and its performance characteristics, in the OSDI 2010 paper
"The Turtles Project: Design and Implementation of Nested Virtualization",
available at:
http://www.usenix.org/events/osdi10/tech/full_papers/Ben-Yehuda.pdf
Terminology
-----------
Single-level virtualization has two levels - the host (KVM) and the guests.
In nested virtualization, we have three levels: The host (KVM), which we call
L0, the guest hypervisor, which we call L1, and its nested guest, which we
call L2.
Known limitations
-----------------
The current code supports running Linux guests under KVM guests.
Only 64-bit guest hypervisors are supported.
Additional patches for running Windows under guest KVM, and Linux under
guest VMware server, and support for nested EPT, are currently running in
the lab, and will be sent as follow-on patchsets.
Running nested VMX
------------------
The nested VMX feature is disabled by default. It can be enabled by giving
the "nested=1" option to the kvm-intel module.
No modifications are required to user space (qemu). However, qemu's default
emulated CPU type (qemu64) does not list the "VMX" CPU feature, so it must be
explicitly enabled, by giving qemu one of the following options:
-cpu host (emulated CPU has all features of the real CPU)
-cpu qemu64,+vmx (add just the vmx feature to a named CPU type)
ABIs
----
Nested VMX aims to present a standard and (eventually) fully-functional VMX
implementation for the a guest hypervisor to use. As such, the official
specification of the ABI that it provides is Intel's VMX specification,
namely volume 3B of their "Intel 64 and IA-32 Architectures Software
Developer's Manual". Not all of VMX's features are currently fully supported,
but the goal is to eventually support them all, starting with the VMX features
which are used in practice by popular hypervisors (KVM and others).
As a VMX implementation, nested VMX presents a VMCS structure to L1.
As mandated by the spec, other than the two fields revision_id and abort,
this structure is *opaque* to its user, who is not supposed to know or care
about its internal structure. Rather, the structure is accessed through the
VMREAD and VMWRITE instructions.
Still, for debugging purposes, KVM developers might be interested to know the
internals of this structure; This is struct vmcs12 from arch/x86/kvm/vmx.c.
The name "vmcs12" refers to the VMCS that L1 builds for L2. In the code we
also have "vmcs01", the VMCS that L0 built for L1, and "vmcs02" is the VMCS
which L0 builds to actually run L2 - how this is done is explained in the
aforementioned paper.
For convenience, we repeat the content of struct vmcs12 here. If the internals
of this structure changes, this can break live migration across KVM versions.
VMCS12_REVISION (from vmx.c) should be changed if struct vmcs12 or its inner
struct shadow_vmcs is ever changed.

This file documents some of the kernel entries in
arch/x86/kernel/entry_64.S. A lot of this explanation is adapted from
an email from Ingo Molnar:
http://lkml.kernel.org/r/<20110529191055.GC9835%40elte.hu>
The x86 architecture has quite a few different ways to jump into
kernel code. Most of these entry points are registered in
arch/x86/kernel/traps.c and implemented in arch/x86/kernel/entry_64.S
and arch/x86/ia32/ia32entry.S.
The IDT vector assignments are listed in arch/x86/include/irq_vectors.h.
Some of these entries are:
- system_call: syscall instruction from 64-bit code.
- ia32_syscall: int 0x80 from 32-bit or 64-bit code; compat syscall
either way.
- ia32_syscall, ia32_sysenter: syscall and sysenter from 32-bit
code
- interrupt: An array of entries. Every IDT vector that doesn't
explicitly point somewhere else gets set to the corresponding
value in interrupts. These point to a whole array of
magically-generated functions that make their way to do_IRQ with
the interrupt number as a parameter.
- emulate_vsyscall: int 0xcc, a special non-ABI entry used by
vsyscall emulation.
- APIC interrupts: Various special-purpose interrupts for things
like TLB shootdown.
- Architecturally-defined exceptions like divide_error.
There are a few complexities here. The different x86-64 entries
have different calling conventions. The syscall and sysenter
instructions have their own peculiar calling conventions. Some of
the IDT entries push an error code onto the stack; others don't.
IDT entries using the IST alternative stack mechanism need their own
magic to get the stack frames right. (You can find some
documentation in the AMD APM, Volume 2, Chapter 8 and the Intel SDM,
Volume 3, Chapter 6.)
Dealing with the swapgs instruction is especially tricky. Swapgs
toggles whether gs is the kernel gs or the user gs. The swapgs
instruction is rather fragile: it must nest perfectly and only in
single depth, it should only be used if entering from user mode to
kernel mode and then when returning to user-space, and precisely
so. If we mess that up even slightly, we crash.
So when we have a secondary entry, already in kernel mode, we *must
not* use SWAPGS blindly - nor must we forget doing a SWAPGS when it's
not switched/swapped yet.
Now, there's a secondary complication: there's a cheap way to test
which mode the CPU is in and an expensive way.
The cheap way is to pick this info off the entry frame on the kernel
stack, from the CS of the ptregs area of the kernel stack:
xorl %ebx,%ebx
testl $3,CS+8(%rsp)
je error_kernelspace
SWAPGS
The expensive (paranoid) way is to read back the MSR_GS_BASE value
(which is what SWAPGS modifies):
movl $1,%ebx
movl $MSR_GS_BASE,%ecx
rdmsr
testl %edx,%edx
js 1f /* negative -> in kernel */
SWAPGS
xorl %ebx,%ebx
1: ret
and the whole paranoid non-paranoid macro complexity is about whether
to suffer that RDMSR cost.
If we are at an interrupt or user-trap/gate-alike boundary then we can
use the faster check: the stack will be a reliable indicator of
whether SWAPGS was already done: if we see that we are a secondary
entry interrupting kernel mode execution, then we know that the GS
base has already been switched. If it says that we interrupted
user-space execution then we must do the SWAPGS.
But if we are in an NMI/MCE/DEBUG/whatever super-atomic entry context,
which might have triggered right after a normal entry wrote CS to the
stack but before we executed SWAPGS, then the only safe way to check
for GS is the slower method: the RDMSR.
So we try only to mark those entry methods 'paranoid' that absolutely
need the more expensive check for the GS base - and we generate all
'normal' entry points with the regular (faster) entry macros.

- If you are upgrading between releases using the stable series patches
(for example, patch-2.6.xx.y), note that these "dot-releases" are
not incremental and must be applied to the 2.6.xx base tree. For
example, if your base kernel is 2.6.12 and you want to apply the
2.6.12.3 patch, you do not and indeed must not first apply the
2.6.12.1 and 2.6.12.2 patches. Similarly, if you are running kernel

reverse the 2.6.12.2 patch (that is, patch -R) _before_ applying
the 2.6.12.3 patch.
