Sometimes debugging a device is easiest using devmem on its register
map, and that can be seen with /proc/iomem. But some device drivers have
many memory regions. Take for example a networking switch. Its memory
map used to look like this in /proc/iomem:
1fc000000-1fc3fffff : pcie@1f0000000
1fc000000-1fc3fffff : 0000:00:00.5
1fc010000-1fc01ffff : sys
1fc030000-1fc03ffff : rew
1fc060000-1fc0603ff : s2
1fc070000-1fc0701ff : devcpu_gcb
1fc080000-1fc0800ff : qs
1fc090000-1fc0900cb : ptp
1fc100000-1fc10ffff : port0
1fc110000-1fc11ffff : port1
1fc120000-1fc12ffff : port2
1fc130000-1fc13ffff : port3
1fc140000-1fc14ffff : port4
1fc150000-1fc15ffff : port5
1fc200000-1fc21ffff : qsys
1fc280000-1fc28ffff : ana
But after the patch in Fixes: was applied, the information is now
presented in a much more opaque way:
1fc000000-1fc3fffff : pcie@1f0000000
1fc000000-1fc3fffff : 0000:00:00.5
1fc010000-1fc01ffff : 0000:00:00.5
1fc030000-1fc03ffff : 0000:00:00.5
1fc060000-1fc0603ff : 0000:00:00.5
1fc070000-1fc0701ff : 0000:00:00.5
1fc080000-1fc0800ff : 0000:00:00.5
1fc090000-1fc0900cb : 0000:00:00.5
1fc100000-1fc10ffff : 0000:00:00.5
1fc110000-1fc11ffff : 0000:00:00.5
1fc120000-1fc12ffff : 0000:00:00.5
1fc130000-1fc13ffff : 0000:00:00.5
1fc140000-1fc14ffff : 0000:00:00.5
1fc150000-1fc15ffff : 0000:00:00.5
1fc200000-1fc21ffff : 0000:00:00.5
1fc280000-1fc28ffff : 0000:00:00.5
That patch made a fair comment that /proc/iomem might be confusing when
it shows resources without an associated device, but we can do better
than just hide the resource name altogether. Namely, we can print the
device name _and_ the resource name. Like this:
1fc000000-1fc3fffff : pcie@1f0000000
1fc000000-1fc3fffff : 0000:00:00.5
1fc010000-1fc01ffff : 0000:00:00.5 sys
1fc030000-1fc03ffff : 0000:00:00.5 rew
1fc060000-1fc0603ff : 0000:00:00.5 s2
1fc070000-1fc0701ff : 0000:00:00.5 devcpu_gcb
1fc080000-1fc0800ff : 0000:00:00.5 qs
1fc090000-1fc0900cb : 0000:00:00.5 ptp
1fc100000-1fc10ffff : 0000:00:00.5 port0
1fc110000-1fc11ffff : 0000:00:00.5 port1
1fc120000-1fc12ffff : 0000:00:00.5 port2
1fc130000-1fc13ffff : 0000:00:00.5 port3
1fc140000-1fc14ffff : 0000:00:00.5 port4
1fc150000-1fc15ffff : 0000:00:00.5 port5
1fc200000-1fc21ffff : 0000:00:00.5 qsys
1fc280000-1fc28ffff : 0000:00:00.5 ana

Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
