This will define the M-x linux-c-mode command. When hacking on a
module, if you put the string -*- linux-c -*- somewhere on the first
two lines, this mode will be automatically invoked. Also, you may want
to add
(add-hook 'c-mode-hook

to your .emacs file if you want to have linux-c-mode switched on
automagically when you edit source files under /usr/src/linux.
This will make emacs go better with the kernel coding style for C
files below ~/src/linux-trees.

to figure out if you missed some interrupts.
</para>
<para>
For some hardware that has more than one interrupt source internally,
but not separate IRQ mask and status registers, there might be
situations where userspace cannot determine what the interrupt source
was if the kernel handler disables them by writing to the chip's IRQ
register. In such a case, the kernel has to disable the IRQ completely
to leave the chip's register untouched. Now the userspace part can
determine the cause of the interrupt, but it cannot re-enable
interrupts. Another cornercase is chips where re-enabling interrupts
is a read-modify-write operation to a combined IRQ status/acknowledge
register. This would be racy if a new interrupt occurred
simultaneously.
</para>
<para>
To address these problems, UIO also implements a write() function. It
is normally not used and can be ignored for hardware that has only a
single interrupt source or has separate IRQ mask and status registers.
If you need it, however, a write to <filename>/dev/uioX</filename>
will call the <function>irqcontrol()</function> function implemented
by the driver. You have to write a 32-bit value that is usually either
0 or 1 to disable or enable interrupts. If a driver does not implement

that a triple-click just selects the whole thing.
So the proper format is something along the lines of:
"Please pull from

so that I don't have to hunt-and-peck for the address and inevitably
get it wrong (actually, I've only gotten it wrong a few times, and
checking against the diffstat tells me when I get it wrong, but I'm
just a lot more comfortable when I don't have to "look for" the right
thing to pull, and double-check that I have the right branch-name).
Please use "git diff -M --stat --summary" to generate the diffstat:
the -M enables rename detection, and the summary enables a summary of
new/deleted or renamed files.
With rename detection, the statistics are rather different [...]
because git will notice that a fair number of the changes are renames.

A generic digital 24-port PCI GPIO card can be built out of an ordinary
Brooktree bt848, bt849, bt878 or bt879 based analog TV tuner card. The
Brooktree chip is used in old analog Hauppauge WinTV PCI cards. You can easily

The bt8xx chip does have 24 digital GPIO ports.
These ports are accessible via 24 pins on the SMD chip package.

== How to physically access the GPIO pins ==
==============================================
The are several ways to access these pins. One might unsolder the whole chip
and put it on a custom PCI board, or one might only unsolder each individual
GPIO pin and solder that to some tiny wire. As the chip package really is tiny
there are some advanced soldering skills needed in any case.
The physical pinouts are drawn in the following ASCII art.

#### cli()/sti() removal guide, started by Ingo Molnar <mingo@redhat.com>
as of 2.5.28, five popular macros have been removed on SMP, and
are being phased out on UP:
cli(), sti(), save_flags(flags), save_flags_cli(flags), restore_flags(flags)
until now it was possible to protect driver code against interrupt
handlers via a cli(), but from now on other, more lightweight methods
have to be used for synchronization, such as spinlocks or semaphores.
for example, driver code that used to do something like:
struct driver_data;
irq_handler (...)
{
....
driver_data.finish = 1;
driver_data.new_work = 0;
....
}
...
ioctl_func (...)
{
...
cli();
...
driver_data.finish = 0;
driver_data.new_work = 2;
...
sti();
...
}
was SMP-correct because the cli() function ensured that no
interrupt handler (amongst them the above irq_handler()) function
would execute while the cli()-ed section is executing.
but from now on a more direct method of locking has to be used:
DEFINE_SPINLOCK(driver_lock);
struct driver_data;
irq_handler (...)
{
unsigned long flags;
....
spin_lock_irqsave(&driver_lock, flags);
....
driver_data.finish = 1;
driver_data.new_work = 0;
....
spin_unlock_irqrestore(&driver_lock, flags);
....
}
...
ioctl_func (...)
{
...
spin_lock_irq(&driver_lock);
...
driver_data.finish = 0;
driver_data.new_work = 2;
...
spin_unlock_irq(&driver_lock);
...
}
the above code has a number of advantages:
- the locking relation is easier to understand - actual lock usage
pinpoints the critical sections. cli() usage is too opaque.
Easier to understand means it's easier to debug.
- it's faster, because spinlocks are faster to acquire than the
potentially heavily-used IRQ lock. Furthermore, your driver does
not have to wait eg. for a big heavy SCSI interrupt to finish,
because the driver_lock spinlock is only used by your driver.
cli() on the other hand was used by many drivers, and extended
the critical section to the whole IRQ handler function - creating
serious lock contention.
to make the transition easier, we've still kept the cli(), sti(),
save_flags(), save_flags_cli() and restore_flags() macros defined
on UP systems - but their usage will be phased out until 2.6 is
released.
drivers that want to disable local interrupts (interrupts on the
current CPU), can use the following five macros:
local_irq_disable(), local_irq_enable(), local_save_flags(flags),
local_irq_save(flags), local_irq_restore(flags)
but beware, their meaning and semantics are much simpler, far from
that of the old cli(), sti(), save_flags(flags) and restore_flags(flags)
SMP meaning:
local_irq_disable() => turn local IRQs off
local_irq_enable() => turn local IRQs on
local_save_flags(flags) => save the current IRQ state into flags. The
state can be on or off. (on some
architectures there's even more bits in it.)
local_irq_save(flags) => save the current IRQ state into flags and
disable interrupts.
local_irq_restore(flags) => restore the IRQ state from flags.
(local_irq_save can save both irqs on and irqs off state, and
local_irq_restore can restore into both irqs on and irqs off state.)
another related change is that synchronize_irq() now takes a parameter:
synchronize_irq(irq). This change too has the purpose of making SMP
synchronization more lightweight - this way you can wait for your own
interrupt handler to finish, no need to wait for other IRQ sources.
why were these changes done? The main reason was the architectural burden
of maintaining the cli()/sti() interface - it became a real problem. The
new interrupt system is much more streamlined, easier to understand, debug,
and it's also a bit faster - the same happened to it that will happen to
cli()/sti() using drivers once they convert to spinlocks :-)

SH7760/SH7763 integrated LCDC Framebuffer driver
================================================
0. Overwiew
-----------
The SH7760/SH7763 have an integrated LCD Display controller (LCDC) which
supports (in theory) resolutions ranging from 1x1 to 1024x1024,
with color depths ranging from 1 to 16 bits, on STN, DSTN and TFT Panels.
Caveats:
* Framebuffer memory must be a large chunk allocated at the top
of Area3 (HW requirement). Because of this requirement you should NOT
make the driver a module since at runtime it may become impossible to
get a large enough contiguous chunk of memory.
* The driver does not support changing resolution while loaded
(displays aren't hotpluggable anyway)
* Heavy flickering may be observed
a) if you're using 15/16bit color modes at >= 640x480 px resolutions,
b) during PCMCIA (or any other slow bus) activity.
* Rotation works only 90degress clockwise, and only if horizontal
resolution is <= 320 pixels.

1. Platform setup
-----------------
SH7760:
Video data is fetched via the DMABRG DMA engine, so you have to
configure the SH DMAC for DMABRG mode (write 0x94808080 to the
DMARSRA register somewhere at boot).
PFC registers PCCR and PCDR must be set to peripheral mode.
(write zeros to both).
The driver does NOT do the above for you since board setup is, well, job
of the board setup code.
2. Panel definitions
--------------------
The LCDC must explicitly be told about the type of LCD panel
attached. Data must be wrapped in a "struct sh7760fb_platdata" and
passed to the driver as platform_data.
Suggest you take a closer look at the SH7760 Manual, Section 30.

@ -3,11 +3,25 @@ Tridentfb is a framebuffer driver for some Trident chip based cards.
The following list of chips is thought to be supported although not all are
tested:
those from the Image series with Cyber in their names - accelerated
those with Blade in their names (Blade3D,CyberBlade...) - accelerated
the newer CyberBladeXP family - nonaccelerated
those from the TGUI series 9440/96XX and with Cyber in their names
those from the Image series and with Cyber in their names
those with Blade in their names (Blade3D,CyberBlade...)
the newer CyberBladeXP family
Only PCI/AGP based cards are supported, none of the older Tridents.
All families are accelerated. Only PCI/AGP based cards are supported,
none of the older Tridents.
The driver supports 8, 16 and 32 bits per pixel depths.
The TGUI family requires a line length to be power of 2 if acceleration
is enabled. This means that range of possible resolutions and bpp is
limited comparing to the range if acceleration is disabled (see list
of parameters below).
Known bugs:
1. The driver randomly locks up on 3DImage975 chip with acceleration
enabled. The same happens in X11 (Xorg).
2. The ramdac speeds require some more fine tuning. It is possible to
switch resolution which the chip does not support at some depths for
older chips.
How to use it?

subsystem/group and the simple_child item in configfs_example_explicit.c

storing an attribute, and a simple group creating and destroying these

The only difference between configfs_example_explicit.c and
configfs_example_macros.c is how the attributes of the childless item
are defined. The childless item has extended attributes, each with
their own show()/store() operation. This follows a convention commonly
used in sysfs. configfs_example_explicit.c creates these attributes
by explicitly defining the structures involved. Conversely
configfs_example_macros.c uses some convenience macros from configfs.h
to define the attributes. These macros are similar to their sysfs
counterparts.

After building the nfs-utils package, there will be a mount.nfs binary in
the utils/mount directory. This binary can be used to initiate NFS v2, v3,
or v4 mounts. To initiate a v4 mount, the binary must be called mount.nfs4.

Optimized MPEG Filesystem (OMFS)
Overview
========
OMFS is a filesystem created by SonicBlue for use in the ReplayTV DVR
and Rio Karma MP3 player. The filesystem is extent-based, utilizing
block sizes from 2k to 8k, with hash-based directories. This
filesystem driver may be used to read and write disks from these
devices.
Note, it is not recommended that this FS be used in place of a general
filesystem for your own streaming media device. Native Linux filesystems
will likely perform better.
More information is available at:
http://linux-karma.sf.net/
Various utilities, including mkomfs and omfsck, are included with
omfsprogs, available at:
http://bobcopeland.com/karma/
Instructions are included in its README.
Options
=======
OMFS supports the following mount-time options:
uid=n - make all files owned by specified user
gid=n - make all files owned by specified group
umask=xxx - set permission umask to xxx
fmask=xxx - set umask to xxx for files
dmask=xxx - set umask to xxx for directories
Disk format
===========
OMFS discriminates between "sysblocks" and normal data blocks. The sysblock
group consists of super block information, file metadata, directory structures,
and extents. Each sysblock has a header containing CRCs of the entire
sysblock, and may be mirrored in successive blocks on the disk. A sysblock may
have a smaller size than a data block, but since they are both addressed by the
same 64-bit block number, any remaining space in the smaller sysblock is
unused.
Sysblock header information:
struct omfs_header {
__be64 h_self; /* FS block where this is located */
__be32 h_body_size; /* size of useful data after header */
__be16 h_crc; /* crc-ccitt of body_size bytes */
char h_fill1[2];
u8 h_version; /* version, always 1 */
char h_type; /* OMFS_INODE_X */
u8 h_magic; /* OMFS_IMAGIC */
u8 h_check_xor; /* XOR of header bytes before this */
__be32 h_fill2;
};
Files and directories are both represented by omfs_inode:
struct omfs_inode {
struct omfs_header i_head; /* header */
__be64 i_parent; /* parent containing this inode */
__be64 i_sibling; /* next inode in hash bucket */
__be64 i_ctime; /* ctime, in milliseconds */
char i_fill1[35];
char i_type; /* OMFS_[DIR,FILE] */
__be32 i_fill2;
char i_fill3[64];
char i_name[OMFS_NAMELEN]; /* filename */
__be64 i_size; /* size of file, in bytes */
};
Directories in OMFS are implemented as a large hash table. Filenames are
hashed then prepended into the bucket list beginning at OMFS_DIR_START.
Lookup requires hashing the filename, then seeking across i_sibling pointers
until a match is found on i_name. Empty buckets are represented by block
pointers with all-1s (~0).
A file is an omfs_inode structure followed by an extent table beginning at
OMFS_EXTENT_START:
struct omfs_extent_entry {
__be64 e_cluster; /* start location of a set of blocks */
__be64 e_blocks; /* number of blocks after e_cluster */
};
struct omfs_extent {
__be64 e_next; /* next extent table location */
__be32 e_extent_count; /* total # extents in this table */
__be32 e_fill;
struct omfs_extent_entry e_entry; /* start of extent entries */
};
Each extent holds the block offset followed by number of blocks allocated to
the extent. The final extent in each table is a terminator with e_cluster
being ~0 and e_blocks being ones'-complement of the total number of blocks
in the table.
If this table overflows, a continuation inode is written and pointed to by
e_next. These have a header but lack the rest of the inode structure.

can enable it and build it into the kernel optionally.

once all the necessary resources are available, and remove them later when
the GPIO controller device becomes unavailable.
Sysfs Interface for Userspace (OPTIONAL)
========================================
Platforms which use the "gpiolib" implementors framework may choose to
configure a sysfs user interface to GPIOs. This is different from the
debugfs interface, since it provides control over GPIO direction and
value instead of just showing a gpio state summary. Plus, it could be
present on production systems without debugging support.
Given approprate hardware documentation for the system, userspace could
know for example that GPIO #23 controls the write protect line used to
protect boot loader segments in flash memory. System upgrade procedures
may need to temporarily remove that protection, first importing a GPIO,
then changing its output state, then updating the code before re-enabling
the write protection. In normal use, GPIO #23 would never be touched,
and the kernel would have no need to know about it.
Again depending on appropriate hardware documentation, on some systems
userspace GPIO can be used to determine system configuration data that
standard kernels won't know about. And for some tasks, simple userspace
GPIO drivers could be all that the system really needs.
Note that standard kernel drivers exist for common "LEDs and Buttons"
GPIO tasks: "leds-gpio" and "gpio_keys", respectively. Use those
instead of talking directly to the GPIOs; they integrate with kernel
frameworks better than your userspace code could.
Paths in Sysfs
--------------
There are three kinds of entry in /sys/class/gpio:
- Control interfaces used to get userspace control over GPIOs;
- GPIOs themselves; and
- GPIO controllers ("gpio_chip" instances).
That's in addition to standard files including the "device" symlink.
The control interfaces are write-only:
/sys/class/gpio/
"export" ... Userspace may ask the kernel to export control of
a GPIO to userspace by writing its number to this file.
Example: "echo 19 > export" will create a "gpio19" node
for GPIO #19, if that's not requested by kernel code.
"unexport" ... Reverses the effect of exporting to userspace.
Example: "echo 19 > unexport" will remove a "gpio19"
node exported using the "export" file.
GPIO signals have paths like /sys/class/gpio/gpio42/ (for GPIO #42)
and have the following read/write attributes:
/sys/class/gpio/gpioN/
"direction" ... reads as either "in" or "out". This value may
normally be written. Writing as "out" defaults to
initializing the value as low. To ensure glitch free
operation, values "low" and "high" may be written to
configure the GPIO as an output with that initial value.
Note that this attribute *will not exist* if the kernel
doesn't support changing the direction of a GPIO, or
it was exported by kernel code that didn't explicitly
allow userspace to reconfigure this GPIO's direction.
"value" ... reads as either 0 (low) or 1 (high). If the GPIO
is configured as an output, this value may be written;
any nonzero value is treated as high.
GPIO controllers have paths like /sys/class/gpio/chipchip42/ (for the
controller implementing GPIOs starting at #42) and have the following
read-only attributes:
/sys/class/gpio/gpiochipN/
"base" ... same as N, the first GPIO managed by this chip
"label" ... provided for diagnostics (not always unique)
"ngpio" ... how many GPIOs this manges (N to N + ngpio - 1)
Board documentation should in most cases cover what GPIOs are used for
what purposes. However, those numbers are not always stable; GPIOs on
a daughtercard might be different depending on the base board being used,
or other cards in the stack. In such cases, you may need to use the
gpiochip nodes (possibly in conjunction with schematics) to determine
the correct GPIO number to use for a given signal.
Exporting from Kernel code
--------------------------
Kernel code can explicitly manage exports of GPIOs which have already been
requested using gpio_request():
/* export the GPIO to userspace */
int gpio_export(unsigned gpio, bool direction_may_change);
/* reverse gpio_export() */
void gpio_unexport();
After a kernel driver requests a GPIO, it may only be made available in
the sysfs interface by gpio_export(). The driver can control whether the
signal direction may change. This helps drivers prevent userspace code
from accidentally clobbering important system state.
This explicit exporting can help with debugging (by making some kinds
of experiments easier), or can provide an always-there interface that's
suitable for documenting as part of a board support package.

Upgrading I2C Drivers to the new 2.6 Driver Model
=================================================
Ben Dooks <ben-linux@fluff.org>
Introduction
------------
This guide outlines how to alter existing Linux 2.6 client drivers from
the old to the new new binding methods.
Example old-style driver
------------------------
struct example_state {
struct i2c_client client;
....
};
static struct i2c_driver example_driver;
static unsigned short ignore[] = { I2C_CLIENT_END };
static unsigned short normal_addr[] = { OUR_ADDR, I2C_CLIENT_END };

int ret;
state = kzalloc(sizeof(struct example_state), GFP_KERNEL);
if (state == NULL) {
dev_err(dev, "failed to create our state\n");
return -ENOMEM;
}
example->client.addr = addr;
example->client.flags = 0;
example->client.adapter = adap;
i2c_set_clientdata(&state->i2c_client, state);
strlcpy(client->i2c_client.name, "example", I2C_NAME_SIZE);
ret = i2c_attach_client(&state->i2c_client);
if (ret < 0) {
dev_err(dev, "failed to attach client\n");
kfree(state);
return ret;
}
dev = &state->i2c_client.dev;
/* rest of the initialisation goes here. */
dev_info(dev, "example client created\n");
return 0;
}
static int __devexit example_detach(struct i2c_client *client)
{
struct example_state *state = i2c_get_clientdata(client);
i2c_detach_client(client);
kfree(state);
return 0;
}
static int example_attach_adapter(struct i2c_adapter *adap)
{
return i2c_probe(adap, &addr_data, example_attach);
}
static struct i2c_driver example_driver = {
.driver = {
.owner = THIS_MODULE,
.name = "example",
},
.attach_adapter = example_attach_adapter,
.detach_client = __devexit_p(example_detach),
.suspend = example_suspend,
.resume = example_resume,
};
Updating the client
-------------------
The new style binding model will check against a list of supported
devices and their associated address supplied by the code registering
the busses. This means that the driver .attach_adapter and
.detach_adapter methods can be removed, along with the addr_data,
as follows:
- static struct i2c_driver example_driver;
- static unsigned short ignore[] = { I2C_CLIENT_END };
- static unsigned short normal_addr[] = { OUR_ADDR, I2C_CLIENT_END };
- I2C_CLIENT_INSMOD;
- static int example_attach_adapter(struct i2c_adapter *adap)
- {
- return i2c_probe(adap, &addr_data, example_attach);
- }
static struct i2c_driver example_driver = {
- .attach_adapter = example_attach_adapter,
- .detach_client = __devexit_p(example_detach),
}
Add the probe and remove methods to the i2c_driver, as so:
static struct i2c_driver example_driver = {
+ .probe = example_probe,
+ .remove = __devexit_p(example_remove),
}
Change the example_attach method to accept the new parameters
which include the i2c_client that it will be working with:
- static int example_attach(struct i2c_adapter *adap, int addr, int kind)
+ static int example_probe(struct i2c_client *client,
+ const struct i2c_device_id *id)
Change the name of example_attach to example_probe to align it with the
i2c_driver entry names. The rest of the probe routine will now need to be
changed as the i2c_client has already been setup for use.
The necessary client fields have already been setup before
the probe function is called, so the following client setup
can be removed:
- example->client.addr = addr;
- example->client.flags = 0;
- example->client.adapter = adap;
-
- strlcpy(client->i2c_client.name, "example", I2C_NAME_SIZE);
The i2c_set_clientdata is now:
- i2c_set_clientdata(&state->client, state);
+ i2c_set_clientdata(client, state);
The call to i2c_attach_client is no longer needed, if the probe
routine exits successfully, then the driver will be automatically
attached by the core. Change the probe routine as so:
- ret = i2c_attach_client(&state->i2c_client);
- if (ret < 0) {
- dev_err(dev, "failed to attach client\n");
- kfree(state);
- return ret;
- }
Remove the storage of 'struct i2c_client' from the 'struct example_state'
as we are provided with the i2c_client in our example_probe. Instead we
store a pointer to it for when it is needed.
struct example_state {
- struct i2c_client client;
+ struct i2c_client *client;
the new i2c client as so:
- struct device *dev = &adap->dev; /* to use for dev_ reports */
+ struct device *dev = &i2c_client->dev; /* to use for dev_ reports */
And remove the change after our client is attached, as the driver no
longer needs to register a new client structure with the core:
- dev = &state->i2c_client.dev;
In the probe routine, ensure that the new state has the client stored
in it:
static int example_probe(struct i2c_client *i2c_client,
const struct i2c_device_id *id)
{
struct example_state *state;
struct device *dev = &i2c_client->dev;
int ret;
state = kzalloc(sizeof(struct example_state), GFP_KERNEL);
if (state == NULL) {
dev_err(dev, "failed to create our state\n");
return -ENOMEM;
}
+ state->client = i2c_client;
Update the detach method, by changing the name to _remove and
to delete the i2c_detach_client call. It is possible that you
can also remove the ret variable as it is not not needed for
any of the core functions.
- static int __devexit example_detach(struct i2c_client *client)
+ static int __devexit example_remove(struct i2c_client *client)
{
struct example_state *state = i2c_get_clientdata(client);

And finally ensure that we have the correct ID table for the i2c-core
and other utilities:
+ struct i2c_device_id example_idtable[] = {
+ { "example", 0 },

/* rest of the initialisation goes here. */

Paravirt_ops on IA64
====================
21 May 2008, Isaku Yamahata <yamahata@valinux.co.jp>
Introduction
------------
The aim of this documentation is to help with maintainability and/or to
encourage people to use paravirt_ops/IA64.
paravirt_ops (pv_ops in short) is a way for virtualization support of
Linux kernel on x86. Several ways for virtualization support were
proposed, paravirt_ops is the winner.
On the other hand, now there are also several IA64 virtualization
technologies like kvm/IA64, xen/IA64 and many other academic IA64
hypervisors so that it is good to add generic virtualization
infrastructure on Linux/IA64.
What is paravirt_ops?
---------------------
It has been developed on x86 as virtualization support via API, not ABI.
It allows each hypervisor to override operations which are important for
hypervisors at API level. And it allows a single kernel binary to run on
all supported execution environments including native machine.
Essentially paravirt_ops is a set of function pointers which represent
operations corresponding to low level sensitive instructions and high
level functionalities in various area. But one significant difference
from usual function pointer table is that it allows optimization with
binary patch. It is because some of these operations are very
performance sensitive and indirect call overhead is not negligible.
With binary patch, indirect C function call can be transformed into
direct C function call or in-place execution to eliminate the overhead.
Thus, operations of paravirt_ops are classified into three categories.
- simple indirect call
These operations correspond to high level functionality so that the
overhead of indirect call isn't very important.
- indirect call which allows optimization with binary patch
Usually these operations correspond to low level instructions. They
are called frequently and performance critical. So the overhead is
very important.
- a set of macros for hand written assembly code
Hand written assembly codes (.S files) also need paravirtualization
because they include sensitive instructions or some of code paths in
them are very performance critical.
The relation to the IA64 machine vector
---------------------------------------
Linux/IA64 has the IA64 machine vector functionality which allows the
kernel to switch implementations (e.g. initialization, ipi, dma api...)
depending on executing platform.
We can replace some implementations very easily defining a new machine
vector. Thus another approach for virtualization support would be
enhancing the machine vector functionality.
But paravirt_ops approach was taken because
- virtualization support needs wider support than machine vector does.
e.g. low level instruction paravirtualization. It must be
initialized very early before platform detection.
- virtualization support needs more functionality like binary patch.
Probably the calling overhead might not be very large compared to the
emulation overhead of virtualization. However in the native case, the
overhead should be eliminated completely.
A single kernel binary should run on each environment including native,
and the overhead of paravirt_ops on native environment should be as
small as possible.
- for full virtualization technology, e.g. KVM/IA64 or
Xen/IA64 HVM domain, the result would be
(the emulated platform machine vector. probably dig) + (pv_ops).
This means that the virtualization support layer should be under
the machine vector layer.
Possibly it might be better to move some function pointers from
paravirt_ops to machine vector. In fact, Xen domU case utilizes both
pv_ops and machine vector.
IA64 paravirt_ops
-----------------
In this section, the concrete paravirt_ops will be discussed.
Because of the architecture difference between ia64 and x86, the
resulting set of functions is very different from x86 pv_ops.
- C function pointer tables
They are not very performance critical so that simple C indirect
function call is acceptable. The following structures are defined at
this moment. For details see linux/include/asm-ia64/paravirt.h
- struct pv_info
This structure describes the execution environment.
- struct pv_init_ops
This structure describes the various initialization hooks.
- struct pv_iosapic_ops
This structure describes hooks to iosapic operations.
- struct pv_irq_ops
This structure describes hooks to irq related operations
- struct pv_time_op
This structure describes hooks to steal time accounting.
- a set of indirect calls which need optimization
Currently this class of functions correspond to a subset of IA64
intrinsics. At this moment the optimization with binary patch isn't
implemented yet.
struct pv_cpu_op is defined. For details see
linux/include/asm-ia64/paravirt_privop.h
Mostly they correspond to ia64 intrinsics 1-to-1.
Caveat: Now they are defined as C indirect function pointers, but in
order to support binary patch optimization, they will be changed
using GCC extended inline assembly code.
- a set of macros for hand written assembly code (.S files)
For maintenance purpose, the taken approach for .S files is single
source code and compile multiple times with different macros definitions.
Each pv_ops instance must define those macros to compile.
The important thing here is that sensitive, but non-privileged
instructions must be paravirtualized and that some privileged
instructions also need paravirtualization for reasonable performance.
Developers who modify .S files must be aware of that. At this moment
an easy checker is implemented to detect paravirtualization breakage.
But it doesn't cover all the cases.
Sometimes this set of macros is called pv_cpu_asm_op. But there is no
corresponding structure in the source code.
Those macros mostly 1:1 correspond to a subset of privileged
instructions. See linux/include/asm-ia64/native/inst.h.
And some functions written in assembly also need to be overrided so
that each pv_ops instance have to define some macros. Again see
linux/include/asm-ia64/native/inst.h.
Those structures must be initialized very early before start_kernel.
Probably initialized in head.S using multi entry point or some other trick.
For native case implementation see linux/arch/ia64/kernel/paravirt.c.

Linux カーネルパッチ投稿者向けチェックリスト
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
本書では、パッチをより素早く取り込んでもらいたい開発者が実践すべき基本的な事柄
をいくつか紹介します。ここにある全ての事柄は、Documentation/SubmittingPatches
などのLinuxカーネルパッチ投稿に際しての心得を補足するものです。
1: 妥当なCONFIGオプションや変更されたCONFIGオプション、つまり =y, =m, =n
全てで正しくビルドできることを確認してください。その際、gcc及びリンカが
warningやerrorを出していないことも確認してください。
2: allnoconfig, allmodconfig オプションを用いて正しくビルドできることを
確認してください。
3: 手許のクロスコンパイルツールやOSDLのPLMのようなものを用いて、複数の
アーキテクチャにおいても正しくビルドできることを確認してください。
4: 64bit長の'unsigned long'を使用しているppc64は、クロスコンパイルでの
チェックに適当なアーキテクチャです。
5: カーネルコーディングスタイルに準拠しているかどうか確認してください(!)
6: CONFIGオプションの追加・変更をした場合には、CONFIGメニューが壊れていない
ことを確認してください。
7: 新しくKconfigのオプションを追加する際には、必ずそのhelpも記述してください。
8: 適切なKconfigの依存関係を考えながら慎重にチェックしてください。
ただし、この作業はマシンを使ったテストできちんと行うのがとても困難です。
うまくやるには、自分の頭で考えることです。
9: sparseを利用してちゃんとしたコードチェックをしてください。
10: 'make checkstack' と 'make namespacecheck' を利用し、問題が発見されたら
修正してください。'make checkstack' は明示的に問題を示しませんが、どれか
１つの関数が512バイトより大きいスタックを使っていれば、修正すべき候補と
なります。
11: グローバルなkernel API を説明する kernel-doc をソースの中に含めてください。
( staticな関数においては必須ではありませんが、含めてもらっても結構です )
そして、'make htmldocs' もしくは 'make mandocs' を利用して追記した
ドキュメントのチェックを行い、問題が見つかった場合には修正を行ってください。
12: CONFIG_PREEMPT, CONFIG_DEBUG_PREEMPT, CONFIG_DEBUG_SLAB,
CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC, CONFIG_DEBUG_MUTEXES, CONFIG_DEBUG_SPINLOCK,
CONFIG_DEBUG_SPINLOCK_SLEEP これら全てを同時に有効にして動作確認を
行ってください。
13: CONFIG_SMP, CONFIG_PREEMPT を有効にした場合と無効にした場合の両方で
ビルドした上、動作確認を行ってください。
14: もしパッチがディスクのI/O性能などに影響を与えるようであれば、
'CONFIG_LBD'オプションを有効にした場合と無効にした場合の両方で
テストを実施してみてください。
15: lockdepの機能を全て有効にした上で、全てのコードパスを評価してください。
16: /proc に新しいエントリを追加した場合には、Documentation/ 配下に
必ずドキュメントを追加してください。
17: 新しいブートパラメータを追加した場合には、
必ずDocumentation/kernel-parameters.txt に説明を追加してください。
18: 新しくmoduleにパラメータを追加した場合には、MODULE_PARM_DESC()を
利用して必ずその説明を記述してください。
19: 新しいuserspaceインタフェースを作成した場合には、Documentation/ABI/ に
Documentation/ABI/README を参考にして必ずドキュメントを追加してください。
20: 'make headers_check'を実行して全く問題がないことを確認してください。
21: 少なくともslabアロケーションとpageアロケーションに失敗した場合の
挙動について、fault-injectionを利用して確認してください。
Documentation/fault-injection/ を参照してください。
追加したコードがかなりの量であったならば、サブシステム特有の
fault-injectionを追加したほうが良いかもしれません。
22: 新たに追加したコードは、`gcc -W'でコンパイルしてください。
このオプションは大量の不要なメッセージを出力しますが、
"warning: comparison between signed and unsigned" のようなメッセージは、
バグを見つけるのに役に立ちます。
23: 投稿したパッチが -mm パッチセットにマージされた後、全ての既存のパッチや
VM, VFS およびその他のサブシステムに関する様々な変更と、現時点でも共存
できることを確認するテストを行ってください。
