What: /sys/devices/platform/at91_can/net/<iface>/mb0_id
Date: January 2011
KernelVersion: 2.6.38
Contact: Marc Kleine-Budde <kernel@pengutronix.de>
Description:
Value representing the can_id of mailbox 0.
Default: 0x7ff (standard frame)
Due to a chip bug (errata 50.2.6.3 & 50.3.5.3 in
"AT91SAM9263 Preliminary 6249H-ATARM-27-Jul-09") the
contents of mailbox 0 may be send under certain
conditions (even if disabled or in rx mode).
The workaround in the errata suggests not to use the
mailbox and load it with an unused identifier.
In order to use an extended can_id add the
CAN_EFF_FLAG (0x80000000U) to the can_id. Example:
- standard id 0x7ff:
echo 0x7ff > /sys/class/net/can0/mb0_id
- extended id 0x1fffffff:
echo 0x9fffffff > /sys/class/net/can0/mb0_id

Get the detailed info related with the IPMI device
--------------------------------------------------
Some users need more detailed information about a device, like where
the address came from or the raw base device for the IPMI interface.
You can use the IPMI smi_watcher to catch the IPMI interfaces as they
come or go, and to grab the information, you can use the function
ipmi_get_smi_info(), which returns the following structure:
struct ipmi_smi_info {
enum ipmi_addr_src addr_src;
struct device *dev;
union {
struct {
void *acpi_handle;
} acpi_info;
} addr_info;
};
Currently special info for only for SI_ACPI address sources is
returned. Others may be added as necessary.
Note that the dev pointer is included in the above structure, and
assuming ipmi_smi_get_info returns success, you must call put_device
on the dev pointer.

Device-mapper RAID (dm-raid) is a bridge from DM to MD. It
provides a way to use device-mapper interfaces to access the MD RAID
drivers.
As with all device-mapper targets, the nominal public interfaces are the
constructor (CTR) tables and the status outputs (both STATUSTYPE_INFO
and STATUSTYPE_TABLE). The CTR table looks like the following:
1: <s> <l> raid \
2: <raid_type> <#raid_params> <raid_params> \
3: <#raid_devs> <meta_dev1> <dev1> .. <meta_devN> <devN>
Line 1 contains the standard first three arguments to any device-mapper
target - the start, length, and target type fields. The target type in
this case is "raid".
Line 2 contains the arguments that define the particular raid
type/personality/level, the required arguments for that raid type, and
any optional arguments. Possible raid types include: raid4, raid5_la,
raid5_ls, raid5_rs, raid6_zr, raid6_nr, and raid6_nc. (raid1 is
planned for the future.) The list of required and optional parameters
is the same for all the current raid types. The required parameters are
positional, while the optional parameters are given as key/value pairs.
The possible parameters are as follows:
<chunk_size> Chunk size in sectors.
[[no]sync] Force/Prevent RAID initialization
[rebuild <idx>] Rebuild the drive indicated by the index
[daemon_sleep <ms>] Time between bitmap daemon work to clear bits
[min_recovery_rate <kB/sec/disk>] Throttle RAID initialization
[max_recovery_rate <kB/sec/disk>] Throttle RAID initialization
[max_write_behind <sectors>] See '-write-behind=' (man mdadm)
[stripe_cache <sectors>] Stripe cache size for higher RAIDs
Line 3 contains the list of devices that compose the array in
metadata/data device pairs. If the metadata is stored separately, a '-'
is given for the metadata device position. If a drive has failed or is
missing at creation time, a '-' can be given for both the metadata and
data drives for a given position.
NB. Currently all metadata devices must be specified as '-'.
Examples:
# RAID4 - 4 data drives, 1 parity
# No metadata devices specified to hold superblock/bitmap info
# Chunk size of 1MiB
# (Lines separated for easy reading)
0 1960893648 raid \
raid4 1 2048 \
5 - 8:17 - 8:33 - 8:49 - 8:65 - 8:81
# RAID4 - 4 data drives, 1 parity (no metadata devices)
# Chunk size of 1MiB, force RAID initialization,
# min recovery rate at 20 kiB/sec/disk
0 1960893648 raid \
raid4 4 2048 min_recovery_rate 20 sync\
5 - 8:17 - 8:33 - 8:49 - 8:65 - 8:81
Performing a 'dmsetup table' should display the CTR table used to
construct the mapping (with possible reordering of optional
parameters).
Performing a 'dmsetup status' will yield information on the state and
health of the array. The output is as follows:
1: <s> <l> raid \
2: <raid_type> <#devices> <1 health char for each dev> <resync_ratio>
Line 1 is standard DM output. Line 2 is best shown by example:
0 1960893648 raid raid4 5 AAAAA 2/490221568
Here we can see the RAID type is raid4, there are 5 devices - all of
which are 'A'live, and the array is 2/490221568 complete with recovery.

Currently, board support is essentially an exclusive config option.
The kernel is configured for a single platform. Part of the reason
for this is to keep kernels on embedded systems small and efficient;
part of this is due to the fact the code is already that way. In the
future, a kernel may support multiple platforms, but only if the
A kernel image may support multiple platforms, but only if the
platforms feature the same core architecture. A single kernel build
cannot support both configurations with Book E and configurations
with classic Powerpc architectures.
32-bit embedded platforms that are moved into arch/powerpc using a
flattened device tree should adopt the merged tree practice of
setting ppc_md up dynamically, even though the kernel is currently
built with support for only a single platform at a time. This allows
unification of the setup code, and will make it easier to go to a
multiple-platform-support model in the future.
2) Entry point for arch/arm
---------------------------
NOTE: I believe the above will be true once Ben's done with the merge
of the boot sequences.... someone speak up if this is wrong!
There is one single entry point to the kernel, at the start
of the kernel image. That entry point supports two calling
conventions. A summary of the interface is described here. A full
description of the boot requirements is documented in
Documentation/arm/Booting
To add a 32-bit embedded platform support, follow the instructions
for 64-bit platforms above, with the exception that the Kconfig
option should be set up such that the kernel builds exclusively for
the platform selected. The processor type for the platform should
enable another config option to select the specific board
supported.
a) ATAGS interface. Minimal information is passed from firmware
to the kernel with a tagged list of predefined parameters.
NOTE: If Ben doesn't merge the setup files, may need to change this to

I will describe later the boot process and various callbacks that
your platform should implement.
r2 : Physical address of tagged list in system RAM
b) Entry with a flattened device-tree block. Firmware loads the
physical address of the flattened device tree block (dtb) into r2,
r1 is not used, but it is considered good practise to use a valid
machine number as described in Documentation/arm/Booting.

r1 : Valid machine type number. When using a device tree,
a single machine type number will often be assigned to
represent a class or family of SoCs.
r2 : physical pointer to the device-tree block
(defined in chapter II) in RAM. Device tree can be located
anywhere in system RAM, but it should be aligned on a 32 bit
boundary.
The kernel will differentiate between ATAGS and device tree booting by
reading the memory pointed to by r1 and looking for either the flattened
device tree block magic value (0xd00dfeed) or the ATAG_CORE value at

3.5 Overriding Configuration for Special Cases
3.5 Configuration with Interfaces Support
-----------------------------------------
This section applies to distros which use /etc/network/interfaces file
to describe network interface configuration, most notably Debian and it's
derivatives.
The ifup and ifdown commands on Debian don't support bonding out of
the box. The ifenslave-2.6 package should be installed to provide bonding
support. Once installed, this package will provide bond-* options to be used
into /etc/network/interfaces.
Note that ifenslave-2.6 package will load the bonding module and use
the ifenslave command when appropriate.
Example Configurations
----------------------
In /etc/network/interfaces, the following stanza will configure bond0, in
active-backup mode, with eth0 and eth1 as slaves.
auto bond0
iface bond0 inet dhcp
bond-slaves eth0 eth1
bond-mode active-backup
bond-miimon 100
bond-primary eth0 eth1
If the above configuration doesn't work, you might have a system using
upstart for system startup. This is most notably true for recent
Ubuntu versions. The following stanza in /etc/network/interfaces will
produce the same result on those systems.
auto bond0
iface bond0 inet dhcp
bond-slaves none
bond-mode active-backup
bond-miimon 100
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet manual
bond-master bond0
bond-primary eth0 eth1
auto eth1
iface eth1 inet manual
bond-master bond0
bond-primary eth0 eth1
For a full list of bond-* supported options in /etc/network/interfaces and some
more advanced examples tailored to you particular distros, see the files in
/usr/share/doc/ifenslave-2.6.
3.6 Overriding Configuration for Special Cases

>>>>>>>>>> The TCM v4 fabric module script generator <<<<<<<<<<
Greetings all,
This document is intended to be a mini-HOWTO for using the tcm_mod_builder.py
script to generate a brand new functional TCM v4 fabric .ko module of your very own,
that once built can be immediately be loaded to start access the new TCM/ConfigFS
fabric skeleton, by simply using:
modprobe $TCM_NEW_MOD
mkdir -p /sys/kernel/config/target/$TCM_NEW_MOD
This script will create a new drivers/target/$TCM_NEW_MOD/, and will do the following
*) Generate new API callers for drivers/target/target_core_fabric_configs.c logic
->make_nodeacl(), ->drop_nodeacl(), ->make_tpg(), ->drop_tpg()
->make_wwn(), ->drop_wwn(). These are created into $TCM_NEW_MOD/$TCM_NEW_MOD_configfs.c
*) Generate basic infrastructure for loading/unloading LKMs and TCM/ConfigFS fabric module
using a skeleton struct target_core_fabric_ops API template.
*) Based on user defined T10 Proto_Ident for the new fabric module being built,
the TransportID / Initiator and Target WWPN related handlers for
SPC-3 persistent reservation are automatically generated in $TCM_NEW_MOD/$TCM_NEW_MOD_fabric.c
using drivers/target/target_core_fabric_lib.c logic.
*) NOP API calls for all other Data I/O path and fabric dependent attribute logic
in $TCM_NEW_MOD/$TCM_NEW_MOD_fabric.c
tcm_mod_builder.py depends upon the mandatory '-p $PROTO_IDENT' and '-m
$FABRIC_MOD_name' parameters, and actually running the script looks like:

The framework includes a simple notification mechanism, in the form of a
netlink event. Netlink socket initialization is done during the _init_
of the framework. Drivers which intend to use the notification mechanism
just need to call generate_netlink_event() with two arguments viz
(originator, event). Typically the originator will be an integer assigned
to a thermal_zone_device when it registers itself with the framework. The
event will be one of:{THERMAL_AUX0, THERMAL_AUX1, THERMAL_CRITICAL,

= Transparent Hugepage Support =
== Objective ==
Performance critical computing applications dealing with large memory
working sets are already running on top of libhugetlbfs and in turn
hugetlbfs. Transparent Hugepage Support is an alternative means of
using huge pages for the backing of virtual memory with huge pages
that supports the automatic promotion and demotion of page sizes and
without the shortcomings of hugetlbfs.
Currently it only works for anonymous memory mappings but in the
future it can expand over the pagecache layer starting with tmpfs.
The reason applications are running faster is because of two
factors. The first factor is almost completely irrelevant and it's not
of significant interest because it'll also have the downside of
requiring larger clear-page copy-page in page faults which is a
potentially negative effect. The first factor consists in taking a
single page fault for each 2M virtual region touched by userland (so
reducing the enter/exit kernel frequency by a 512 times factor). This
only matters the first time the memory is accessed for the lifetime of
a memory mapping. The second long lasting and much more important
factor will affect all subsequent accesses to the memory for the whole
runtime of the application. The second factor consist of two
components: 1) the TLB miss will run faster (especially with
virtualization using nested pagetables but almost always also on bare
metal without virtualization) and 2) a single TLB entry will be
mapping a much larger amount of virtual memory in turn reducing the
number of TLB misses. With virtualization and nested pagetables the
TLB can be mapped of larger size only if both KVM and the Linux guest
are using hugepages but a significant speedup already happens if only
one of the two is using hugepages just because of the fact the TLB
miss is going to run faster.
== Design ==
- "graceful fallback": mm components which don't have transparent
hugepage knowledge fall back to breaking a transparent hugepage and
working on the regular pages and their respective regular pmd/pte
mappings
- if a hugepage allocation fails because of memory fragmentation,
regular pages should be gracefully allocated instead and mixed in
the same vma without any failure or significant delay and without
userland noticing
- if some task quits and more hugepages become available (either
immediately in the buddy or through the VM), guest physical memory
backed by regular pages should be relocated on hugepages
automatically (with khugepaged)
- it doesn't require memory reservation and in turn it uses hugepages
whenever possible (the only possible reservation here is kernelcore=
to avoid unmovable pages to fragment all the memory but such a tweak
is not specific to transparent hugepage support and it's a generic
feature that applies to all dynamic high order allocations in the
kernel)
- this initial support only offers the feature in the anonymous memory
regions but it'd be ideal to move it to tmpfs and the pagecache
later
Transparent Hugepage Support maximizes the usefulness of free memory
if compared to the reservation approach of hugetlbfs by allowing all
unused memory to be used as cache or other movable (or even unmovable
entities). It doesn't require reservation to prevent hugepage
allocation failures to be noticeable from userland. It allows paging
and all other advanced VM features to be available on the
hugepages. It requires no modifications for applications to take
advantage of it.
Applications however can be further optimized to take advantage of
this feature, like for example they've been optimized before to avoid
a flood of mmap system calls for every malloc(4k). Optimizing userland
is by far not mandatory and khugepaged already can take care of long
lived page allocations even for hugepage unaware applications that
deals with large amounts of memory.
In certain cases when hugepages are enabled system wide, application
may end up allocating more memory resources. An application may mmap a
large region but only touch 1 byte of it, in that case a 2M page might
be allocated instead of a 4k page for no good. This is why it's
possible to disable hugepages system-wide and to only have them inside
MADV_HUGEPAGE madvise regions.
Embedded systems should enable hugepages only inside madvise regions
to eliminate any risk of wasting any precious byte of memory and to
only run faster.
Applications that gets a lot of benefit from hugepages and that don't
risk to lose memory by using hugepages, should use
madvise(MADV_HUGEPAGE) on their critical mmapped regions.
== sysfs ==
Transparent Hugepage Support can be entirely disabled (mostly for
debugging purposes) or only enabled inside MADV_HUGEPAGE regions (to
avoid the risk of consuming more memory resources) or enabled system
wide. This can be achieved with one of:
echo always >/sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/enabled
echo madvise >/sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/enabled
echo never >/sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/enabled
It's also possible to limit defrag efforts in the VM to generate
hugepages in case they're not immediately free to madvise regions or
to never try to defrag memory and simply fallback to regular pages
unless hugepages are immediately available. Clearly if we spend CPU
time to defrag memory, we would expect to gain even more by the fact
we use hugepages later instead of regular pages. This isn't always
guaranteed, but it may be more likely in case the allocation is for a
MADV_HUGEPAGE region.
echo always >/sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/defrag
echo madvise >/sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/defrag
echo never >/sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/defrag
khugepaged will be automatically started when
transparent_hugepage/enabled is set to "always" or "madvise, and it'll
be automatically shutdown if it's set to "never".
khugepaged runs usually at low frequency so while one may not want to
invoke defrag algorithms synchronously during the page faults, it
should be worth invoking defrag at least in khugepaged. However it's
also possible to disable defrag in khugepaged:
echo yes >/sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/khugepaged/defrag
echo no >/sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/khugepaged/defrag
You can also control how many pages khugepaged should scan at each
pass:
/sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/khugepaged/pages_to_scan
and how many milliseconds to wait in khugepaged between each pass (you
can set this to 0 to run khugepaged at 100% utilization of one core):
/sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/khugepaged/scan_sleep_millisecs
and how many milliseconds to wait in khugepaged if there's an hugepage
allocation failure to throttle the next allocation attempt.
/sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/khugepaged/alloc_sleep_millisecs
The khugepaged progress can be seen in the number of pages collapsed:
/sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/khugepaged/pages_collapsed
for each pass:
/sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/khugepaged/full_scans
== Boot parameter ==
You can change the sysfs boot time defaults of Transparent Hugepage
Support by passing the parameter "transparent_hugepage=always" or
"transparent_hugepage=madvise" or "transparent_hugepage=never"
(without "") to the kernel command line.
== Need of application restart ==
The transparent_hugepage/enabled values only affect future
behavior. So to make them effective you need to restart any
application that could have been using hugepages. This also applies to
the regions registered in khugepaged.
== get_user_pages and follow_page ==
get_user_pages and follow_page if run on a hugepage, will return the
head or tail pages as usual (exactly as they would do on
hugetlbfs). Most gup users will only care about the actual physical
address of the page and its temporary pinning to release after the I/O
is complete, so they won't ever notice the fact the page is huge. But
if any driver is going to mangle over the page structure of the tail
page (like for checking page->mapping or other bits that are relevant
for the head page and not the tail page), it should be updated to jump
to check head page instead (while serializing properly against
split_huge_page() to avoid the head and tail pages to disappear from
under it, see the futex code to see an example of that, hugetlbfs also
needed special handling in futex code for similar reasons).
NOTE: these aren't new constraints to the GUP API, and they match the
same constrains that applies to hugetlbfs too, so any driver capable
of handling GUP on hugetlbfs will also work fine on transparent
hugepage backed mappings.
In case you can't handle compound pages if they're returned by
follow_page, the FOLL_SPLIT bit can be specified as parameter to
follow_page, so that it will split the hugepages before returning
them. Migration for example passes FOLL_SPLIT as parameter to
follow_page because it's not hugepage aware and in fact it can't work
at all on hugetlbfs (but it instead works fine on transparent
hugepages thanks to FOLL_SPLIT). migration simply can't deal with
hugepages being returned (as it's not only checking the pfn of the
page and pinning it during the copy but it pretends to migrate the
memory in regular page sizes and with regular pte/pmd mappings).
== Optimizing the applications ==
To be guaranteed that the kernel will map a 2M page immediately in any
memory region, the mmap region has to be hugepage naturally
aligned. posix_memalign() can provide that guarantee.
== Hugetlbfs ==
You can use hugetlbfs on a kernel that has transparent hugepage
support enabled just fine as always. No difference can be noted in
hugetlbfs other than there will be less overall fragmentation. All
usual features belonging to hugetlbfs are preserved and
unaffected. libhugetlbfs will also work fine as usual.
== Graceful fallback ==
Code walking pagetables but unware about huge pmds can simply call
split_huge_page_pmd(mm, pmd) where the pmd is the one returned by
pmd_offset. It's trivial to make the code transparent hugepage aware
by just grepping for "pmd_offset" and adding split_huge_page_pmd where
missing after pmd_offset returns the pmd. Thanks to the graceful
fallback design, with a one liner change, you can avoid to write
hundred if not thousand of lines of complex code to make your code
hugepage aware.
If you're not walking pagetables but you run into a physical hugepage
but you can't handle it natively in your code, you can split it by
calling split_huge_page(page). This is what the Linux VM does before
it tries to swapout the hugepage for example.
Example to make mremap.c transparent hugepage aware with a one liner
change:
diff --git a/mm/mremap.c b/mm/mremap.c
--- a/mm/mremap.c
+++ b/mm/mremap.c
@@ -41,6 +41,7 @@ static pmd_t *get_old_pmd(struct mm_stru
return NULL;
pmd = pmd_offset(pud, addr);
+ split_huge_page_pmd(mm, pmd);
if (pmd_none_or_clear_bad(pmd))
return NULL;
== Locking in hugepage aware code ==
We want as much code as possible hugepage aware, as calling
split_huge_page() or split_huge_page_pmd() has a cost.
To make pagetable walks huge pmd aware, all you need to do is to call
pmd_trans_huge() on the pmd returned by pmd_offset. You must hold the
mmap_sem in read (or write) mode to be sure an huge pmd cannot be
created from under you by khugepaged (khugepaged collapse_huge_page
takes the mmap_sem in write mode in addition to the anon_vma lock). If
pmd_trans_huge returns false, you just fallback in the old code
paths. If instead pmd_trans_huge returns true, you have to take the
mm->page_table_lock and re-run pmd_trans_huge. Taking the
page_table_lock will prevent the huge pmd to be converted into a
regular pmd from under you (split_huge_page can run in parallel to the
pagetable walk). If the second pmd_trans_huge returns false, you
should just drop the page_table_lock and fallback to the old code as
before. Otherwise you should run pmd_trans_splitting on the pmd. In
case pmd_trans_splitting returns true, it means split_huge_page is
already in the middle of splitting the page. So if pmd_trans_splitting
returns true it's enough to drop the page_table_lock and call
wait_split_huge_page and then fallback the old code paths. You are
guaranteed by the time wait_split_huge_page returns, the pmd isn't
huge anymore. If pmd_trans_splitting returns false, you can proceed to
process the huge pmd and the hugepage natively. Once finished you can
drop the page_table_lock.
== compound_lock, get_user_pages and put_page ==
split_huge_page internally has to distribute the refcounts in the head
page to the tail pages before clearing all PG_head/tail bits from the
page structures. It can do that easily for refcounts taken by huge pmd
mappings. But the GUI API as created by hugetlbfs (that returns head
and tail pages if running get_user_pages on an address backed by any
hugepage), requires the refcount to be accounted on the tail pages and
not only in the head pages, if we want to be able to run
split_huge_page while there are gup pins established on any tail
page. Failure to be able to run split_huge_page if there's any gup pin
on any tail page, would mean having to split all hugepages upfront in
get_user_pages which is unacceptable as too many gup users are
performance critical and they must work natively on hugepages like
they work natively on hugetlbfs already (hugetlbfs is simpler because
hugetlbfs pages cannot be splitted so there wouldn't be requirement of
accounting the pins on the tail pages for hugetlbfs). If we wouldn't
account the gup refcounts on the tail pages during gup, we won't know
anymore which tail page is pinned by gup and which is not while we run
split_huge_page. But we still have to add the gup pin to the head page
too, to know when we can free the compound page in case it's never
splitted during its lifetime. That requires changing not just
get_page, but put_page as well so that when put_page runs on a tail
page (and only on a tail page) it will find its respective head page,
and then it will decrease the head page refcount in addition to the
tail page refcount. To obtain a head page reliably and to decrease its
refcount without race conditions, put_page has to serialize against
__split_huge_page_refcount using a special per-page lock called
compound_lock.
