+=====================
+BPF Type Format (BTF)
+=====================
+
+1. Introduction
+***************
+
+BTF (BPF Type Format) is the metadata format which encodes the debug info
+related to BPF program/map. The name BTF was used initially to describe data
+types. The BTF was later extended to include function info for defined
+subroutines, and line info for source/line information.
+
+The debug info is used for map pretty print, function signature, etc. The
+function signature enables better bpf program/function kernel symbol. The line
+info helps generate source annotated translated byte code, jited code and
+verifier log.
+
+The BTF specification contains two parts,
+ * BTF kernel API
+ * BTF ELF file format
+
+The kernel API is the contract between user space and kernel. The kernel
+verifies the BTF info before using it. The ELF file format is a user space
+contract between ELF file and libbpf loader.
+
+The type and string sections are part of the BTF kernel API, describing the
+debug info (mostly types related) referenced by the bpf program. These two
+sections are discussed in details in :ref:`BTF_Type_String`.
+
+.. _BTF_Type_String:
+
+2. BTF Type and String Encoding
+*******************************
+
+The file ``include/uapi/linux/btf.h`` provides high-level definition of how
+types/strings are encoded.
+
+The beginning of data blob must be::
+
+ struct btf_header {
+ __u16 magic;
+ __u8 version;
+ __u8 flags;
+ __u32 hdr_len;
+
+ /* All offsets are in bytes relative to the end of this header */
+ __u32 type_off; /* offset of type section */
+ __u32 type_len; /* length of type section */
+ __u32 str_off; /* offset of string section */
+ __u32 str_len; /* length of string section */
+ };
+
+The magic is ``0xeB9F``, which has different encoding for big and little
+endian systems, and can be used to test whether BTF is generated for big- or
+little-endian target. The ``btf_header`` is designed to be extensible with
+``hdr_len`` equal to ``sizeof(struct btf_header)`` when a data blob is
+generated.
+
+2.1 String Encoding
+===================
+
+The first string in the string section must be a null string. The rest of
+string table is a concatenation of other null-terminated strings.
+
+2.2 Type Encoding
+=================
+
+The type id ``0`` is reserved for ``void`` type. The type section is parsed
+sequentially and type id is assigned to each recognized type starting from id
+``1``. Currently, the following types are supported::
+
+ #define BTF_KIND_INT 1 /* Integer */
+ #define BTF_KIND_PTR 2 /* Pointer */
+ #define BTF_KIND_ARRAY 3 /* Array */
+ #define BTF_KIND_STRUCT 4 /* Struct */
+ #define BTF_KIND_UNION 5 /* Union */
+ #define BTF_KIND_ENUM 6 /* Enumeration */
+ #define BTF_KIND_FWD 7 /* Forward */
+ #define BTF_KIND_TYPEDEF 8 /* Typedef */
+ #define BTF_KIND_VOLATILE 9 /* Volatile */
+ #define BTF_KIND_CONST 10 /* Const */
+ #define BTF_KIND_RESTRICT 11 /* Restrict */
+ #define BTF_KIND_FUNC 12 /* Function */
+ #define BTF_KIND_FUNC_PROTO 13 /* Function Proto */
+
+Note that the type section encodes debug info, not just pure types.
+``BTF_KIND_FUNC`` is not a type, and it represents a defined subprogram.
+
+Each type contains the following common data::
+
+ struct btf_type {
+ __u32 name_off;
+ /* "info" bits arrangement
+ * bits 0-15: vlen (e.g. # of struct's members)
+ * bits 16-23: unused
+ * bits 24-27: kind (e.g. int, ptr, array...etc)
+ * bits 28-30: unused
+ * bit 31: kind_flag, currently used by
+ * struct, union and fwd
+ */
+ __u32 info;
+ /* "size" is used by INT, ENUM, STRUCT and UNION.
+ * "size" tells the size of the type it is describing.
+ *
+ * "type" is used by PTR, TYPEDEF, VOLATILE, CONST, RESTRICT,
+ * FUNC and FUNC_PROTO.
+ * "type" is a type_id referring to another type.
+ */
+ union {
+ __u32 size;
+ __u32 type;
+ };
+ };
+
+For certain kinds, the common data are followed by kind-specific data. The
+``name_off`` in ``struct btf_type`` specifies the offset in the string table.
+The following sections detail encoding of each kind.
+
+2.2.1 BTF_KIND_INT
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+``struct btf_type`` encoding requirement:
+ * ``name_off``: any valid offset
+ * ``info.kind_flag``: 0
+ * ``info.kind``: BTF_KIND_INT
+ * ``info.vlen``: 0
+ * ``size``: the size of the int type in bytes.
+
+``btf_type`` is followed by a ``u32`` with the following bits arrangement::
+
+ #define BTF_INT_ENCODING(VAL) (((VAL) & 0x0f000000) >> 24)
+ #define BTF_INT_OFFSET(VAL) (((VAL & 0x00ff0000)) >> 16)
+ #define BTF_INT_BITS(VAL) ((VAL) & 0x000000ff)
+
+The ``BTF_INT_ENCODING`` has the following attributes::
+
+ #define BTF_INT_SIGNED (1 << 0)
+ #define BTF_INT_CHAR (1 << 1)
+ #define BTF_INT_BOOL (1 << 2)
+
+The ``BTF_INT_ENCODING()`` provides extra information: signedness, char, or
+bool, for the int type. The char and bool encoding are mostly useful for
+pretty print. At most one encoding can be specified for the int type.
+
+The ``BTF_INT_BITS()`` specifies the number of actual bits held by this int
+type. For example, a 4-bit bitfield encodes ``BTF_INT_BITS()`` equals to 4.
+The ``btf_type.size * 8`` must be equal to or greater than ``BTF_INT_BITS()``
+for the type. The maximum value of ``BTF_INT_BITS()`` is 128.
+
+The ``BTF_INT_OFFSET()`` specifies the starting bit offset to calculate values
+for this int. For example, a bitfield struct member has: * btf member bit
+offset 100 from the start of the structure, * btf member pointing to an int
+type, * the int type has ``BTF_INT_OFFSET() = 2`` and ``BTF_INT_BITS() = 4``
+
+Then in the struct memory layout, this member will occupy ``4`` bits starting
+from bits ``100 + 2 = 102``.
+
+Alternatively, the bitfield struct member can be the following to access the
+same bits as the above:
+
+ * btf member bit offset 102,
+ * btf member pointing to an int type,
+ * the int type has ``BTF_INT_OFFSET() = 0`` and ``BTF_INT_BITS() = 4``
+
+The original intention of ``BTF_INT_OFFSET()`` is to provide flexibility of
+bitfield encoding. Currently, both llvm and pahole generate
+``BTF_INT_OFFSET() = 0`` for all int types.
+
+2.2.2 BTF_KIND_PTR
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+``struct btf_type`` encoding requirement:
+ * ``name_off``: 0
+ * ``info.kind_flag``: 0
+ * ``info.kind``: BTF_KIND_PTR
+ * ``info.vlen``: 0
+ * ``type``: the pointee type of the pointer
+
+No additional type data follow ``btf_type``.
+
+2.2.3 BTF_KIND_ARRAY
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+``struct btf_type`` encoding requirement:
+ * ``name_off``: 0
+ * ``info.kind_flag``: 0
+ * ``info.kind``: BTF_KIND_ARRAY
+ * ``info.vlen``: 0
+ * ``size/type``: 0, not used
+
+``btf_type`` is followed by one ``struct btf_array``::
+
+ struct btf_array {
+ __u32 type;
+ __u32 index_type;
+ __u32 nelems;
+ };
+
+The ``struct btf_array`` encoding:
+ * ``type``: the element type
+ * ``index_type``: the index type
+ * ``nelems``: the number of elements for this array (``0`` is also allowed).
+
+The ``index_type`` can be any regular int type (``u8``, ``u16``, ``u32``,
+``u64``, ``unsigned __int128``). The original design of including
+``index_type`` follows DWARF, which has an ``index_type`` for its array type.
+Currently in BTF, beyond type verification, the ``index_type`` is not used.
+
+The ``struct btf_array`` allows chaining through element type to represent
+multidimensional arrays. For example, for ``int a[5][6]``, the following type
+information illustrates the chaining:
+
+ * [1]: int
+ * [2]: array, ``btf_array.type = [1]``, ``btf_array.nelems = 6``
+ * [3]: array, ``btf_array.type = [2]``, ``btf_array.nelems = 5``
+
+Currently, both pahole and llvm collapse multidimensional array into
+one-dimensional array, e.g., for ``a[5][6]``, the ``btf_array.nelems`` is
+equal to ``30``. This is because the original use case is map pretty print
+where the whole array is dumped out so one-dimensional array is enough. As
+more BTF usage is explored, pahole and llvm can be changed to generate proper
+chained representation for multidimensional arrays.
+
+2.2.4 BTF_KIND_STRUCT
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+2.2.5 BTF_KIND_UNION
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+``struct btf_type`` encoding requirement:
+ * ``name_off``: 0 or offset to a valid C identifier
+ * ``info.kind_flag``: 0 or 1
+ * ``info.kind``: BTF_KIND_STRUCT or BTF_KIND_UNION
+ * ``info.vlen``: the number of struct/union members
+ * ``info.size``: the size of the struct/union in bytes
+
+``btf_type`` is followed by ``info.vlen`` number of ``struct btf_member``.::
+
+ struct btf_member {
+ __u32 name_off;
+ __u32 type;
+ __u32 offset;
+ };
+
+``struct btf_member`` encoding:
+ * ``name_off``: offset to a valid C identifier
+ * ``type``: the member type
+ * ``offset``: <see below>
+
+If the type info ``kind_flag`` is not set, the offset contains only bit offset
+of the member. Note that the base type of the bitfield can only be int or enum
+type. If the bitfield size is 32, the base type can be either int or enum
+type. If the bitfield size is not 32, the base type must be int, and int type
+``BTF_INT_BITS()`` encodes the bitfield size.
+
+If the ``kind_flag`` is set, the ``btf_member.offset`` contains both member
+bitfield size and bit offset. The bitfield size and bit offset are calculated
+as below.::
+
+ #define BTF_MEMBER_BITFIELD_SIZE(val) ((val) >> 24)
+ #define BTF_MEMBER_BIT_OFFSET(val) ((val) & 0xffffff)
+
+In this case, if the base type is an int type, it must be a regular int type:
+
+ * ``BTF_INT_OFFSET()`` must be 0.
+ * ``BTF_INT_BITS()`` must be equal to ``{1,2,4,8,16} * 8``.
+
+The following kernel patch introduced ``kind_flag`` and explained why both
+modes exist:
+
+ https://github.com/torvalds/linux/commit/9d5f9f701b1891466fb3dbb1806ad97716f95cc3#diff-fa650a64fdd3968396883d2fe8215ff3
+
+2.2.6 BTF_KIND_ENUM
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+``struct btf_type`` encoding requirement:
+ * ``name_off``: 0 or offset to a valid C identifier
+ * ``info.kind_flag``: 0
+ * ``info.kind``: BTF_KIND_ENUM
+ * ``info.vlen``: number of enum values
+ * ``size``: 4
+
+``btf_type`` is followed by ``info.vlen`` number of ``struct btf_enum``.::
+
+ struct btf_enum {
+ __u32 name_off;
+ __s32 val;
+ };
+
+The ``btf_enum`` encoding:
+ * ``name_off``: offset to a valid C identifier
+ * ``val``: any value
+
+2.2.7 BTF_KIND_FWD
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+``struct btf_type`` encoding requirement:
+ * ``name_off``: offset to a valid C identifier
+ * ``info.kind_flag``: 0 for struct, 1 for union
+ * ``info.kind``: BTF_KIND_FWD
+ * ``info.vlen``: 0
+ * ``type``: 0
+
+No additional type data follow ``btf_type``.
+
+2.2.8 BTF_KIND_TYPEDEF
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+``struct btf_type`` encoding requirement:
+ * ``name_off``: offset to a valid C identifier
+ * ``info.kind_flag``: 0
+ * ``info.kind``: BTF_KIND_TYPEDEF
+ * ``info.vlen``: 0
+ * ``type``: the type which can be referred by name at ``name_off``
+
+No additional type data follow ``btf_type``.
+
+2.2.9 BTF_KIND_VOLATILE
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+``struct btf_type`` encoding requirement:
+ * ``name_off``: 0
+ * ``info.kind_flag``: 0
+ * ``info.kind``: BTF_KIND_VOLATILE
+ * ``info.vlen``: 0
+ * ``type``: the type with ``volatile`` qualifier
+
+No additional type data follow ``btf_type``.
+
+2.2.10 BTF_KIND_CONST
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+``struct btf_type`` encoding requirement:
+ * ``name_off``: 0
+ * ``info.kind_flag``: 0
+ * ``info.kind``: BTF_KIND_CONST
+ * ``info.vlen``: 0
+ * ``type``: the type with ``const`` qualifier
+
+No additional type data follow ``btf_type``.
+
+2.2.11 BTF_KIND_RESTRICT
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+``struct btf_type`` encoding requirement:
+ * ``name_off``: 0
+ * ``info.kind_flag``: 0
+ * ``info.kind``: BTF_KIND_RESTRICT
+ * ``info.vlen``: 0
+ * ``type``: the type with ``restrict`` qualifier
+
+No additional type data follow ``btf_type``.
+
+2.2.12 BTF_KIND_FUNC
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+``struct btf_type`` encoding requirement:
+ * ``name_off``: offset to a valid C identifier
+ * ``info.kind_flag``: 0
+ * ``info.kind``: BTF_KIND_FUNC
+ * ``info.vlen``: 0
+ * ``type``: a BTF_KIND_FUNC_PROTO type
+
+No additional type data follow ``btf_type``.
+
+A BTF_KIND_FUNC defines not a type, but a subprogram (function) whose
+signature is defined by ``type``. The subprogram is thus an instance of that
+type. The BTF_KIND_FUNC may in turn be referenced by a func_info in the
+:ref:`BTF_Ext_Section` (ELF) or in the arguments to :ref:`BPF_Prog_Load`
+(ABI).
+
+2.2.13 BTF_KIND_FUNC_PROTO
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+``struct btf_type`` encoding requirement:
+ * ``name_off``: 0
+ * ``info.kind_flag``: 0
+ * ``info.kind``: BTF_KIND_FUNC_PROTO
+ * ``info.vlen``: # of parameters
+ * ``type``: the return type
+
+``btf_type`` is followed by ``info.vlen`` number of ``struct btf_param``.::
+
+ struct btf_param {
+ __u32 name_off;
+ __u32 type;
+ };
+
+If a BTF_KIND_FUNC_PROTO type is referred by a BTF_KIND_FUNC type, then
+``btf_param.name_off`` must point to a valid C identifier except for the
+possible last argument representing the variable argument. The btf_param.type
+refers to parameter type.
+
+If the function has variable arguments, the last parameter is encoded with
+``name_off = 0`` and ``type = 0``.
+
+3. BTF Kernel API
+*****************
+
+The following bpf syscall command involves BTF:
+ * BPF_BTF_LOAD: load a blob of BTF data into kernel
+ * BPF_MAP_CREATE: map creation with btf key and value type info.
+ * BPF_PROG_LOAD: prog load with btf function and line info.
+ * BPF_BTF_GET_FD_BY_ID: get a btf fd
+ * BPF_OBJ_GET_INFO_BY_FD: btf, func_info, line_info
+ and other btf related info are returned.
+
+The workflow typically looks like:
+::
+
+ Application:
+ BPF_BTF_LOAD
+ |
+ v
+ BPF_MAP_CREATE and BPF_PROG_LOAD
+ |
+ V
+ ......
+
+ Introspection tool:
+ ......
+ BPF_{PROG,MAP}_GET_NEXT_ID (get prog/map id's)
+ |
+ V
+ BPF_{PROG,MAP}_GET_FD_BY_ID (get a prog/map fd)
+ |
+ V
+ BPF_OBJ_GET_INFO_BY_FD (get bpf_prog_info/bpf_map_info with btf_id)
+ | |
+ V |
+ BPF_BTF_GET_FD_BY_ID (get btf_fd) |
+ | |
+ V |
+ BPF_OBJ_GET_INFO_BY_FD (get btf) |
+ | |
+ V V
+ pretty print types, dump func signatures and line info, etc.
+
+
+3.1 BPF_BTF_LOAD
+================
+
+Load a blob of BTF data into kernel. A blob of data, described in
+:ref:`BTF_Type_String`, can be directly loaded into the kernel. A ``btf_fd``
+is returned to a userspace.
+
+3.2 BPF_MAP_CREATE
+==================
+
+A map can be created with ``btf_fd`` and specified key/value type id.::
+
+ __u32 btf_fd; /* fd pointing to a BTF type data */
+ __u32 btf_key_type_id; /* BTF type_id of the key */
+ __u32 btf_value_type_id; /* BTF type_id of the value */
+
+In libbpf, the map can be defined with extra annotation like below:
+::
+
+ struct bpf_map_def SEC("maps") btf_map = {
+ .type = BPF_MAP_TYPE_ARRAY,
+ .key_size = sizeof(int),
+ .value_size = sizeof(struct ipv_counts),
+ .max_entries = 4,
+ };
+ BPF_ANNOTATE_KV_PAIR(btf_map, int, struct ipv_counts);
+
+Here, the parameters for macro BPF_ANNOTATE_KV_PAIR are map name, key and
+value types for the map. During ELF parsing, libbpf is able to extract
+key/value type_id's and assign them to BPF_MAP_CREATE attributes
+automatically.
+
+.. _BPF_Prog_Load:
+
+3.3 BPF_PROG_LOAD
+=================
+
+During prog_load, func_info and line_info can be passed to kernel with proper
+values for the following attributes:
+::
+
+ __u32 insn_cnt;
+ __aligned_u64 insns;
+ ......
+ __u32 prog_btf_fd; /* fd pointing to BTF type data */
+ __u32 func_info_rec_size; /* userspace bpf_func_info size */
+ __aligned_u64 func_info; /* func info */
+ __u32 func_info_cnt; /* number of bpf_func_info records */
+ __u32 line_info_rec_size; /* userspace bpf_line_info size */
+ __aligned_u64 line_info; /* line info */
+ __u32 line_info_cnt; /* number of bpf_line_info records */
+
+The func_info and line_info are an array of below, respectively.::
+
+ struct bpf_func_info {
+ __u32 insn_off; /* [0, insn_cnt - 1] */
+ __u32 type_id; /* pointing to a BTF_KIND_FUNC type */
+ };
+ struct bpf_line_info {
+ __u32 insn_off; /* [0, insn_cnt - 1] */
+ __u32 file_name_off; /* offset to string table for the filename */
+ __u32 line_off; /* offset to string table for the source line */
+ __u32 line_col; /* line number and column number */
+ };
+
+func_info_rec_size is the size of each func_info record, and
+line_info_rec_size is the size of each line_info record. Passing the record
+size to kernel make it possible to extend the record itself in the future.
+
+Below are requirements for func_info:
+ * func_info[0].insn_off must be 0.
+ * the func_info insn_off is in strictly increasing order and matches
+ bpf func boundaries.
+
+Below are requirements for line_info:
+ * the first insn in each func must have a line_info record pointing to it.
+ * the line_info insn_off is in strictly increasing order.
+
+For line_info, the line number and column number are defined as below:
+::
+
+ #define BPF_LINE_INFO_LINE_NUM(line_col) ((line_col) >> 10)
+ #define BPF_LINE_INFO_LINE_COL(line_col) ((line_col) & 0x3ff)
+
+3.4 BPF_{PROG,MAP}_GET_NEXT_ID
+
+In kernel, every loaded program, map or btf has a unique id. The id won't
+change during the lifetime of a program, map, or btf.
+
+The bpf syscall command BPF_{PROG,MAP}_GET_NEXT_ID returns all id's, one for
+each command, to user space, for bpf program or maps, respectively, so an
+inspection tool can inspect all programs and maps.
+
+3.5 BPF_{PROG,MAP}_GET_FD_BY_ID
+
+An introspection tool cannot use id to get details about program or maps.
+A file descriptor needs to be obtained first for reference-counting purpose.
+
+3.6 BPF_OBJ_GET_INFO_BY_FD
+==========================
+
+Once a program/map fd is acquired, an introspection tool can get the detailed
+information from kernel about this fd, some of which are BTF-related. For
+example, ``bpf_map_info`` returns ``btf_id`` and key/value type ids.
+``bpf_prog_info`` returns ``btf_id``, func_info, and line info for translated
+bpf byte codes, and jited_line_info.
+
+3.7 BPF_BTF_GET_FD_BY_ID
+========================
+
+With ``btf_id`` obtained in ``bpf_map_info`` and ``bpf_prog_info``, bpf
+syscall command BPF_BTF_GET_FD_BY_ID can retrieve a btf fd. Then, with
+command BPF_OBJ_GET_INFO_BY_FD, the btf blob, originally loaded into the
+kernel with BPF_BTF_LOAD, can be retrieved.
+
+With the btf blob, ``bpf_map_info``, and ``bpf_prog_info``, an introspection
+tool has full btf knowledge and is able to pretty print map key/values, dump
+func signatures and line info, along with byte/jit codes.
+
+4. ELF File Format Interface
+****************************
+
+4.1 .BTF section
+================
+
+The .BTF section contains type and string data. The format of this section is
+same as the one describe in :ref:`BTF_Type_String`.
+
+.. _BTF_Ext_Section:
+
+4.2 .BTF.ext section
+====================
+
+The .BTF.ext section encodes func_info and line_info which needs loader
+manipulation before loading into the kernel.
+
+The specification for .BTF.ext section is defined at ``tools/lib/bpf/btf.h``
+and ``tools/lib/bpf/btf.c``.
+
+The current header of .BTF.ext section::
+
+ struct btf_ext_header {
+ __u16 magic;
+ __u8 version;
+ __u8 flags;
+ __u32 hdr_len;
+
+ /* All offsets are in bytes relative to the end of this header */
+ __u32 func_info_off;
+ __u32 func_info_len;
+ __u32 line_info_off;
+ __u32 line_info_len;
+ };
+
+It is very similar to .BTF section. Instead of type/string section, it
+contains func_info and line_info section. See :ref:`BPF_Prog_Load` for details
+about func_info and line_info record format.
+
+The func_info is organized as below.::
+
+ func_info_rec_size
+ btf_ext_info_sec for section #1 /* func_info for section #1 */
+ btf_ext_info_sec for section #2 /* func_info for section #2 */
+ ...
+
+``func_info_rec_size`` specifies the size of ``bpf_func_info`` structure when
+.BTF.ext is generated. ``btf_ext_info_sec``, defined below, is a collection of
+func_info for each specific ELF section.::
+
+ struct btf_ext_info_sec {
+ __u32 sec_name_off; /* offset to section name */
+ __u32 num_info;
+ /* Followed by num_info * record_size number of bytes */
+ __u8 data[0];
+ };
+
+Here, num_info must be greater than 0.
+
+The line_info is organized as below.::
+
+ line_info_rec_size
+ btf_ext_info_sec for section #1 /* line_info for section #1 */
+ btf_ext_info_sec for section #2 /* line_info for section #2 */
+ ...
+
+``line_info_rec_size`` specifies the size of ``bpf_line_info`` structure when
+.BTF.ext is generated.
+
+The interpretation of ``bpf_func_info->insn_off`` and
+``bpf_line_info->insn_off`` is different between kernel API and ELF API. For
+kernel API, the ``insn_off`` is the instruction offset in the unit of ``struct
+bpf_insn``. For ELF API, the ``insn_off`` is the byte offset from the
+beginning of section (``btf_ext_info_sec->sec_name_off``).
+
+5. Using BTF
+************
+
+5.1 bpftool map pretty print
+============================
+
+With BTF, the map key/value can be printed based on fields rather than simply
+raw bytes. This is especially valuable for large structure or if your data
+structure has bitfields. For example, for the following map,::
+
+ enum A { A1, A2, A3, A4, A5 };
+ typedef enum A ___A;
+ struct tmp_t {
+ char a1:4;
+ int a2:4;
+ int :4;
+ __u32 a3:4;
+ int b;
+ ___A b1:4;
+ enum A b2:4;
+ };
+ struct bpf_map_def SEC("maps") tmpmap = {
+ .type = BPF_MAP_TYPE_ARRAY,
+ .key_size = sizeof(__u32),
+ .value_size = sizeof(struct tmp_t),
+ .max_entries = 1,
+ };
+ BPF_ANNOTATE_KV_PAIR(tmpmap, int, struct tmp_t);
+
+bpftool is able to pretty print like below:
+::
+
+ [{
+ "key": 0,
+ "value": {
+ "a1": 0x2,
+ "a2": 0x4,
+ "a3": 0x6,
+ "b": 7,
+ "b1": 0x8,
+ "b2": 0xa
+ }
+ }
+ ]
+
+5.2 bpftool prog dump
+=====================
+
+The following is an example showing how func_info and line_info can help prog
+dump with better kernel symbol names, function prototypes and line
+information.::
+
+ $ bpftool prog dump jited pinned /sys/fs/bpf/test_btf_haskv
+ [...]
+ int test_long_fname_2(struct dummy_tracepoint_args * arg):
+ bpf_prog_44a040bf25481309_test_long_fname_2:
+ ; static int test_long_fname_2(struct dummy_tracepoint_args *arg)
+ 0: push %rbp
+ 1: mov %rsp,%rbp
+ 4: sub $0x30,%rsp
+ b: sub $0x28,%rbp
+ f: mov %rbx,0x0(%rbp)
+ 13: mov %r13,0x8(%rbp)
+ 17: mov %r14,0x10(%rbp)
+ 1b: mov %r15,0x18(%rbp)
+ 1f: xor %eax,%eax
+ 21: mov %rax,0x20(%rbp)
+ 25: xor %esi,%esi
+ ; int key = 0;
+ 27: mov %esi,-0x4(%rbp)
+ ; if (!arg->sock)
+ 2a: mov 0x8(%rdi),%rdi
+ ; if (!arg->sock)
+ 2e: cmp $0x0,%rdi
+ 32: je 0x0000000000000070
+ 34: mov %rbp,%rsi
+ ; counts = bpf_map_lookup_elem(&btf_map, &key);
+ [...]
+
+5.3 Verifier Log
+================
+
+The following is an example of how line_info can help debugging verification
+failure.::
+
+ /* The code at tools/testing/selftests/bpf/test_xdp_noinline.c
+ * is modified as below.
+ */
+ data = (void *)(long)xdp->data;
+ data_end = (void *)(long)xdp->data_end;
+ /*
+ if (data + 4 > data_end)
+ return XDP_DROP;
+ */
+ *(u32 *)data = dst->dst;
+

+6. BTF Generation
+*****************
+
+You need latest pahole
+
+ https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/devel/pahole/pahole.git/
+
+or llvm (8.0 or later). The pahole acts as a dwarf2btf converter. It doesn't
+support .BTF.ext and btf BTF_KIND_FUNC type yet. For example,::
+
+ -bash-4.4$ cat t.c
+ struct t {
+ int a:2;
+ int b:3;
+ int c:2;
+ } g;
+ -bash-4.4$ gcc -c -O2 -g t.c
+ -bash-4.4$ pahole -JV t.o
+ File t.o:
+ [1] STRUCT t kind_flag=1 size=4 vlen=3
+ a type_id=2 bitfield_size=2 bits_offset=0
+ b type_id=2 bitfield_size=3 bits_offset=2
+ c type_id=2 bitfield_size=2 bits_offset=5
+ [2] INT int size=4 bit_offset=0 nr_bits=32 encoding=SIGNED
+
+The llvm is able to generate .BTF and .BTF.ext directly with -g for bpf target
+only. The assembly code (-S) is able to show the BTF encoding in assembly
+format.::
+
+ -bash-4.4$ cat t2.c
+ typedef int __int32;
+ struct t2 {
+ int a2;
+ int (*f2)(char q1, __int32 q2, ...);
+ int (*f3)();
+ } g2;

+* Pattern format for LED pattern trigger
+
+The pattern is given by a series of tuples, of brightness and duration (ms).
+The LED is expected to traverse the series and each brightness value for the
+specified duration. Duration of 0 means brightness should immediately change to
+new value, and writing malformed pattern deactivates any active one.
+
+1. For gradual dimming, the dimming interval now is set as 50 milliseconds. So
+the tuple with duration less than dimming interval (50ms) is treated as a step
+change of brightness, i.e. the subsequent brightness will be applied without
+adding intervening dimming intervals.
+
+The gradual dimming format of the software pattern values should be:
+"brightness_1 duration_1 brightness_2 duration_2 brightness_3 duration_3 ...".
+For example (using sysfs interface):
+
+echo 0 1000 255 2000 > pattern
+
+It will make the LED go gradually from zero-intensity to max (255) intensity in
+1000 milliseconds, then back to zero intensity in 2000 milliseconds:

+ 0-| / \/ \/
+ +---0----1----2----3----4----5----6------------> time (s)
+
+2. To make the LED go instantly from one brightness value to another, we should
+use zero-time lengths (the brightness must be same as the previous tuple's). So
+the format should be: "brightness_1 duration_1 brightness_1 0 brightness_2
+duration_2 brightness_2 0 ...".
+For example (using sysfs interface):

+devices apart from the SNVS power domain are shut off. Please refer to NXP
+i.MX8 documentation for further information regarding SNVS state. When a

+switched power state to SNVS. If reset is done via READY state the power

+crucial regulators must have the regulator-always-on and regulator-boot-on

+MediaTek UART based Bluetooth Devices
+==================================
+
+This device is a serial attached device to UART device and thus it must be a
+child node of the serial node with UART.
+
+Please refer to the following documents for generic properties:
+
+ Documentation/devicetree/bindings/serial/slave-device.txt
+
+Required properties:
+
+- compatible: Must be
+ "mediatek,mt7663u-bluetooth": for MT7663U device
+ "mediatek,mt7668u-bluetooth": for MT7668U device
+- vcc-supply: Main voltage regulator
+- pinctrl-names: Should be "default", "runtime"
+- pinctrl-0: Should contain UART RXD low when the device is powered up to
+ enter proper bootstrap mode.
+- pinctrl-1: Should contain UART mode pin ctrl
+
+Optional properties:
+
+- reset-gpios: GPIO used to reset the device whose initial state keeps low,
+ if the GPIO is missing, then board-level design should be
+ guaranteed.
+- current-speed: Current baud rate of the device whose defaults to 921600

+FAQ
+=======
+
+Q: I am not seeing any traffic on the socket. What am I doing wrong?
+
+A: When a netdev of a physical NIC is initialized, Linux usually
+ allocates one Rx and Tx queue pair per core. So on a 8 core system,
+ queue ids 0 to 7 will be allocated, one per core. In the AF_XDP
+ bind call or the xsk_socket__create libbpf function call, you
+ specify a specific queue id to bind to and it is only the traffic
+ towards that queue you are going to get on you socket. So in the
+ example above, if you bind to queue 0, you are NOT going to get any
+ traffic that is distributed to queues 1 through 7. If you are
+ lucky, you will see the traffic, but usually it will end up on one
+ of the queues you have not bound to.
+
+ There are a number of ways to solve the problem of getting the
+ traffic you want to the queue id you bound to. If you want to see
+ all the traffic, you can force the netdev to only have 1 queue, queue
+ id 0, and then bind to queue 0. You can use ethtool to do this::
+
+ sudo ethtool -L <interface> combined 1
+
+ If you want to only see part of the traffic, you can program the
+ NIC through ethtool to filter out your traffic to a single queue id
+ that you can bind your XDP socket to. Here is one example in which
+ UDP traffic to and from port 4242 are sent to queue 2::
+
+ sudo ethtool -N <interface> rx-flow-hash udp4 fn
+ sudo ethtool -N <interface> flow-type udp4 src-port 4242 dst-port \
+ 4242 action 2
+
+ A number of other ways are possible all up to the capabilitites of
+ the NIC you have.

+- Provide alert debug information

+- If problem needs vendor support, provide a way to gather all needed debugging

+
+The main idea is to unify and centralize driver health reports in the
+generic devlink instance and allow the user to set different
+attributes of the health reporting and recovery procedures.
+
+The devlink health reporter:
+Device driver creates a "health reporter" per each error/health type.
+Error/Health type can be a known/generic (eg pci error, fw error, rx/tx error)
+or unknown (driver specific).
+For each registered health reporter a driver can issue error/health reports
+asynchronously. All health reports handling is done by devlink.
+Device driver can provide specific callbacks for each "health reporter", e.g.
+ - Recovery procedures
+ - Diagnostics and object dump procedures
+ - OOB initial parameters
+Different parts of the driver can register different types of health reporters
+with different handlers.
+
+Once an error is reported, devlink health will do the following actions:
+ * A log is being send to the kernel trace events buffer
+ * Health status and statistics are being updated for the reporter instance
+ * Object dump is being taken and saved at the reporter instance (as long as
+ there is no other dump which is already stored)
+ * Auto recovery attempt is being done. Depends on:
+ - Auto-recovery configuration
+ - Grace period vs. time passed since last recover
+
+The user interface:
+User can access/change each reporter's parameters and driver specific callbacks
+via devlink, e.g per error type (per health reporter)
+ - Configure reporter's generic parameters (like: disable/enable auto recovery)
+ - Invoke recovery procedure
+ - Run diagnostics
+ - Object dump
+
+The devlink health interface (via netlink):
+DEVLINK_CMD_HEALTH_REPORTER_GET
+ Retrieves status and configuration info per DEV and reporter.
+DEVLINK_CMD_HEALTH_REPORTER_SET
+ Allows reporter-related configuration setting.
+DEVLINK_CMD_HEALTH_REPORTER_RECOVER
+ Triggers a reporter's recovery procedure.
+DEVLINK_CMD_HEALTH_REPORTER_DIAGNOSE
+ Retrieves diagnostics data from a reporter on a device.
+DEVLINK_CMD_HEALTH_REPORTER_DUMP_GET
+ Retrieves the last stored dump. Devlink health
+ saves a single dump. If an dump is not already stored by the devlink
+ for this reporter, devlink generates a new dump.
+ dump output is defined by the reporter.
+DEVLINK_CMD_HEALTH_REPORTER_DUMP_CLEAR

+IEEE 802.15.4 Developer's Guide
+===============================
Introduction
============
The IEEE 802.15.4 working group focuses on standardization of the bottom
two layers: Medium Access Control (MAC) and Physical access (PHY). And there
are mainly two options available for upper layers:
- - ZigBee - proprietary protocol from the ZigBee Alliance
- - 6LoWPAN - IPv6 networking over low rate personal area networks
+
+- ZigBee - proprietary protocol from the ZigBee Alliance
+- 6LoWPAN - IPv6 networking over low rate personal area networks
The goal of the Linux-wpan is to provide a complete implementation
of the IEEE 802.15.4 and 6LoWPAN protocols. IEEE 802.15.4 is a stack
of protocols for organizing Low-Rate Wireless Personal Area Networks.
The stack is composed of three main parts:
- - IEEE 802.15.4 layer; We have chosen to use plain Berkeley socket API,
- the generic Linux networking stack to transfer IEEE 802.15.4 data
- messages and a special protocol over netlink for configuration/management
- - MAC - provides access to shared channel and reliable data delivery
- - PHY - represents device drivers

Socket API
==========
-int sd = socket(PF_IEEE802154, SOCK_DGRAM, 0);
-.....
+.. c:function:: int sd = socket(PF_IEEE802154, SOCK_DGRAM, 0);
The address family, socket addresses etc. are defined in the
include/net/af_ieee802154.h header or in the special header
in the userspace package (see either http://wpan.cakelab.org/ or the
git tree at https://github.com/linux-wpan/wpan-tools).
+6LoWPAN Linux implementation
+============================
+
+The IEEE 802.15.4 standard specifies an MTU of 127 bytes, yielding about 80
+octets of actual MAC payload once security is turned on, on a wireless link
+with a link throughput of 250 kbps or less. The 6LoWPAN adaptation format
+[RFC4944] was specified to carry IPv6 datagrams over such constrained links,
+taking into account limited bandwidth, memory, or energy resources that are
+expected in applications such as wireless Sensor Networks. [RFC4944] defines
+a Mesh Addressing header to support sub-IP forwarding, a Fragmentation header
+to support the IPv6 minimum MTU requirement [RFC2460], and stateless header
+compression for IPv6 datagrams (LOWPAN_HC1 and LOWPAN_HC2) to reduce the
+relatively large IPv6 and UDP headers down to (in the best case) several bytes.
+
+In September 2011 the standard update was published - [RFC6282].
+It deprecates HC1 and HC2 compression and defines IPHC encoding format which is
+used in this Linux implementation.
+
+All the code related to 6lowpan you may find in files: net/6lowpan/*
+and net/ieee802154/6lowpan/*
+
+To setup a 6LoWPAN interface you need:
+1. Add IEEE802.15.4 interface and set channel and PAN ID;
+2. Add 6lowpan interface by command like:
+# ip link add link wpan0 name lowpan0 type lowpan
+3. Bring up 'lowpan0' interface

+=====================
+PHY Abstraction Layer
+=====================
+
+Purpose
+=======
+
+Most network devices consist of set of registers which provide an interface
+to a MAC layer, which communicates with the physical connection through a
+PHY. The PHY concerns itself with negotiating link parameters with the link
+partner on the other side of the network connection (typically, an ethernet
+cable), and provides a register interface to allow drivers to determine what
+settings were chosen, and to configure what settings are allowed.
+
+While these devices are distinct from the network devices, and conform to a
+standard layout for the registers, it has been common practice to integrate
+the PHY management code with the network driver. This has resulted in large
+amounts of redundant code. Also, on embedded systems with multiple (and
+sometimes quite different) ethernet controllers connected to the same
+management bus, it is difficult to ensure safe use of the bus.
+
+Since the PHYs are devices, and the management busses through which they are
+accessed are, in fact, busses, the PHY Abstraction Layer treats them as such.
+In doing so, it has these goals:
+
+#. Increase code-reuse
+#. Increase overall code-maintainability
+#. Speed development time for new network drivers, and for new systems
+
+Basically, this layer is meant to provide an interface to PHY devices which
+allows network driver writers to write as little code as possible, while
+still providing a full feature set.
+
+The MDIO bus
+============
+
+Most network devices are connected to a PHY by means of a management bus.
+Different devices use different busses (though some share common interfaces).
+In order to take advantage of the PAL, each bus interface needs to be
+registered as a distinct device.
+
+#. read and write functions must be implemented. Their prototypes are::
+
+ int write(struct mii_bus *bus, int mii_id, int regnum, u16 value);
+ int read(struct mii_bus *bus, int mii_id, int regnum);
+
+ mii_id is the address on the bus for the PHY, and regnum is the register
+ number. These functions are guaranteed not to be called from interrupt
+ time, so it is safe for them to block, waiting for an interrupt to signal
+ the operation is complete
+
+#. A reset function is optional. This is used to return the bus to an
+ initialized state.
+
+#. A probe function is needed. This function should set up anything the bus
+ driver needs, setup the mii_bus structure, and register with the PAL using
+ mdiobus_register. Similarly, there's a remove function to undo all of
+ that (use mdiobus_unregister).
+
+#. Like any driver, the device_driver structure must be configured, and init
+ exit functions are used to register the driver.
+
+#. The bus must also be declared somewhere as a device, and registered.
+
+As an example for how one driver implemented an mdio bus driver, see
+drivers/net/ethernet/freescale/fsl_pq_mdio.c and an associated DTS file
+for one of the users. (e.g. "git grep fsl,.*-mdio arch/powerpc/boot/dts/")
+
+(RG)MII/electrical interface considerations
+===========================================
+
+The Reduced Gigabit Medium Independent Interface (RGMII) is a 12-pin
+electrical signal interface using a synchronous 125Mhz clock signal and several
+data lines. Due to this design decision, a 1.5ns to 2ns delay must be added
+between the clock line (RXC or TXC) and the data lines to let the PHY (clock
+sink) have enough setup and hold times to sample the data lines correctly. The
+PHY library offers different types of PHY_INTERFACE_MODE_RGMII* values to let
+the PHY driver and optionally the MAC driver, implement the required delay. The
+values of phy_interface_t must be understood from the perspective of the PHY
+device itself, leading to the following:
+
+* PHY_INTERFACE_MODE_RGMII: the PHY is not responsible for inserting any
+ internal delay by itself, it assumes that either the Ethernet MAC (if capable
+ or the PCB traces) insert the correct 1.5-2ns delay
+
+* PHY_INTERFACE_MODE_RGMII_TXID: the PHY should insert an internal delay
+ for the transmit data lines (TXD[3:0]) processed by the PHY device
+
+* PHY_INTERFACE_MODE_RGMII_RXID: the PHY should insert an internal delay
+ for the receive data lines (RXD[3:0]) processed by the PHY device
+
+* PHY_INTERFACE_MODE_RGMII_ID: the PHY should insert internal delays for
+ both transmit AND receive data lines from/to the PHY device
+
+Whenever possible, use the PHY side RGMII delay for these reasons:
+
+* PHY devices may offer sub-nanosecond granularity in how they allow a
+ receiver/transmitter side delay (e.g: 0.5, 1.0, 1.5ns) to be specified. Such
+ precision may be required to account for differences in PCB trace lengths
+
+* PHY devices are typically qualified for a large range of applications
+ (industrial, medical, automotive...), and they provide a constant and
+ reliable delay across temperature/pressure/voltage ranges
+
+* PHY device drivers in PHYLIB being reusable by nature, being able to
+ configure correctly a specified delay enables more designs with similar delay
+ requirements to be operate correctly
+
+For cases where the PHY is not capable of providing this delay, but the
+Ethernet MAC driver is capable of doing so, the correct phy_interface_t value
+should be PHY_INTERFACE_MODE_RGMII, and the Ethernet MAC driver should be
+configured correctly in order to provide the required transmit and/or receive
+side delay from the perspective of the PHY device. Conversely, if the Ethernet
+MAC driver looks at the phy_interface_t value, for any other mode but
+PHY_INTERFACE_MODE_RGMII, it should make sure that the MAC-level delays are
+disabled.
+
+In case neither the Ethernet MAC, nor the PHY are capable of providing the
+required delays, as defined per the RGMII standard, several options may be
+available:
+
+* Some SoCs may offer a pin pad/mux/controller capable of configuring a given
+ set of pins'strength, delays, and voltage; and it may be a suitable
+ option to insert the expected 2ns RGMII delay.
+
+* Modifying the PCB design to include a fixed delay (e.g: using a specifically
+ designed serpentine), which may not require software configuration at all.
+
+Common problems with RGMII delay mismatch
+-----------------------------------------
+
+When there is a RGMII delay mismatch between the Ethernet MAC and the PHY, this
+will most likely result in the clock and data line signals to be unstable when
+the PHY or MAC take a snapshot of these signals to translate them into logical
+1 or 0 states and reconstruct the data being transmitted/received. Typical
+symptoms include:
+
+* Transmission/reception partially works, and there is frequent or occasional
+ packet loss observed
+
+* Ethernet MAC may report some or all packets ingressing with a FCS/CRC error,
+ or just discard them all
+
+* Switching to lower speeds such as 10/100Mbits/sec makes the problem go away
+ (since there is enough setup/hold time in that case)
+
+Connecting to a PHY
+===================
+
+Sometime during startup, the network driver needs to establish a connection
+between the PHY device, and the network device. At this time, the PHY's bus
+and drivers need to all have been loaded, so it is ready for the connection.
+At this point, there are several ways to connect to the PHY:
+
+#. The PAL handles everything, and only calls the network driver when
+ the link state changes, so it can react.
+
+#. The PAL handles everything except interrupts (usually because the
+ controller has the interrupt registers).
+
+#. The PAL handles everything, but checks in with the driver every second,
+ allowing the network driver to react first to any changes before the PAL
+ does.
+
+#. The PAL serves only as a library of functions, with the network device
+ manually calling functions to update status, and configure the PHY
+
+
+Letting the PHY Abstraction Layer do Everything
+===============================================
+
+If you choose option 1 (The hope is that every driver can, but to still be
+useful to drivers that can't), connecting to the PHY is simple:
+
+First, you need a function to react to changes in the link state. This
+function follows this protocol::
+
+ static void adjust_link(struct net_device *dev);
+
+Next, you need to know the device name of the PHY connected to this device.
+The name will look something like, "0:00", where the first number is the
+bus id, and the second is the PHY's address on that bus. Typically,
+the bus is responsible for making its ID unique.
+
+Now, to connect, just call this function::
+
+ phydev = phy_connect(dev, phy_name, &adjust_link, interface);
+
+*phydev* is a pointer to the phy_device structure which represents the PHY.
+If phy_connect is successful, it will return the pointer. dev, here, is the
+pointer to your net_device. Once done, this function will have started the
+PHY's software state machine, and registered for the PHY's interrupt, if it
+has one. The phydev structure will be populated with information about the
+current state, though the PHY will not yet be truly operational at this
+point.
+
+PHY-specific flags should be set in phydev->dev_flags prior to the call
+to phy_connect() such that the underlying PHY driver can check for flags
+and perform specific operations based on them.
+This is useful if the system has put hardware restrictions on
+the PHY/controller, of which the PHY needs to be aware.
+
+*interface* is a u32 which specifies the connection type used
+between the controller and the PHY. Examples are GMII, MII,
+RGMII, and SGMII. For a full list, see include/linux/phy.h
+
+Now just make sure that phydev->supported and phydev->advertising have any
+values pruned from them which don't make sense for your controller (a 10/100
+controller may be connected to a gigabit capable PHY, so you would need to
+mask off SUPPORTED_1000baseT*). See include/linux/ethtool.h for definitions
+for these bitfields. Note that you should not SET any bits, except the
+SUPPORTED_Pause and SUPPORTED_AsymPause bits (see below), or the PHY may get
+put into an unsupported state.
+
+Lastly, once the controller is ready to handle network traffic, you call
+phy_start(phydev). This tells the PAL that you are ready, and configures the
+PHY to connect to the network. If the MAC interrupt of your network driver
+also handles PHY status changes, just set phydev->irq to PHY_IGNORE_INTERRUPT
+before you call phy_start and use phy_mac_interrupt() from the network
+driver. If you don't want to use interrupts, set phydev->irq to PHY_POLL.
+phy_start() enables the PHY interrupts (if applicable) and starts the
+phylib state machine.
+
+When you want to disconnect from the network (even if just briefly), you call
+phy_stop(phydev). This function also stops the phylib state machine and
+disables PHY interrupts.
+
+Pause frames / flow control
+===========================
+
+The PHY does not participate directly in flow control/pause frames except by
+making sure that the SUPPORTED_Pause and SUPPORTED_AsymPause bits are set in
+MII_ADVERTISE to indicate towards the link partner that the Ethernet MAC
+controller supports such a thing. Since flow control/pause frames generation
+involves the Ethernet MAC driver, it is recommended that this driver takes care
+of properly indicating advertisement and support for such features by setting
+the SUPPORTED_Pause and SUPPORTED_AsymPause bits accordingly. This can be done
+either before or after phy_connect() and/or as a result of implementing the
+ethtool::set_pauseparam feature.
+
+
+Keeping Close Tabs on the PAL
+=============================
+
+It is possible that the PAL's built-in state machine needs a little help to
+keep your network device and the PHY properly in sync. If so, you can
+register a helper function when connecting to the PHY, which will be called
+every second before the state machine reacts to any changes. To do this, you
+need to manually call phy_attach() and phy_prepare_link(), and then call
+phy_start_machine() with the second argument set to point to your special
+handler.
+
+Currently there are no examples of how to use this functionality, and testing
+on it has been limited because the author does not have any drivers which use
+it (they all use option 1). So Caveat Emptor.
+
+Doing it all yourself
+=====================
+
+There's a remote chance that the PAL's built-in state machine cannot track
+the complex interactions between the PHY and your network device. If this is
+so, you can simply call phy_attach(), and not call phy_start_machine or
+phy_prepare_link(). This will mean that phydev->state is entirely yours to
+handle (phy_start and phy_stop toggle between some of the states, so you
+might need to avoid them).
+
+An effort has been made to make sure that useful functionality can be
+accessed without the state-machine running, and most of these functions are
+descended from functions which did not interact with a complex state-machine.
+However, again, no effort has been made so far to test running without the
+state machine, so tryer beware.
+
+Here is a brief rundown of the functions::
+
+ int phy_read(struct phy_device *phydev, u16 regnum);
+ int phy_write(struct phy_device *phydev, u16 regnum, u16 val);
+
+Simple read/write primitives. They invoke the bus's read/write function
+pointers.
+::
+
+ void phy_print_status(struct phy_device *phydev);
+
+A convenience function to print out the PHY status neatly.
+::
+
+ void phy_request_interrupt(struct phy_device *phydev);
+
+Requests the IRQ for the PHY interrupts.
+::
+
+ struct phy_device * phy_attach(struct net_device *dev, const char *phy_id,
+ phy_interface_t interface);
+
+Attaches a network device to a particular PHY, binding the PHY to a generic
+driver if none was found during bus initialization.
+::
+
+ int phy_start_aneg(struct phy_device *phydev);
+
+Using variables inside the phydev structure, either configures advertising
+and resets autonegotiation, or disables autonegotiation, and configures
+forced settings.
+::
+
+ static inline int phy_read_status(struct phy_device *phydev);
+
+Fills the phydev structure with up-to-date information about the current
+settings in the PHY.
+::
+
+ int phy_ethtool_sset(struct phy_device *phydev, struct ethtool_cmd *cmd);
+
+Ethtool convenience functions.
+::
+
+ int phy_mii_ioctl(struct phy_device *phydev,
+ struct mii_ioctl_data *mii_data, int cmd);
+
+The MII ioctl. Note that this function will completely screw up the state
+machine if you write registers like BMCR, BMSR, ADVERTISE, etc. Best to
+use this only to write registers which are not standard, and don't set off
+a renegotiation.
+
+PHY Device Drivers
+==================
+
+With the PHY Abstraction Layer, adding support for new PHYs is
+quite easy. In some cases, no work is required at all! However,
+many PHYs require a little hand-holding to get up-and-running.
+
+Generic PHY driver
+------------------
+
+If the desired PHY doesn't have any errata, quirks, or special
+features you want to support, then it may be best to not add
+support, and let the PHY Abstraction Layer's Generic PHY Driver
+do all of the work.
+
+Writing a PHY driver
+--------------------
+
+If you do need to write a PHY driver, the first thing to do is
+make sure it can be matched with an appropriate PHY device.
+This is done during bus initialization by reading the device's
+UID (stored in registers 2 and 3), then comparing it to each
+driver's phy_id field by ANDing it with each driver's
+phy_id_mask field. Also, it needs a name. Here's an example::
+
+ static struct phy_driver dm9161_driver = {
+ .phy_id = 0x0181b880,
+ .name = "Davicom DM9161E",
+ .phy_id_mask = 0x0ffffff0,
+ ...
+ }
+
+Next, you need to specify what features (speed, duplex, autoneg,
+etc) your PHY device and driver support. Most PHYs support
+PHY_BASIC_FEATURES, but you can look in include/mii.h for other

+
+Each driver consists of a number of function pointers, documented
+in include/linux/phy.h under the phy_driver structure.
+
+Of these, only config_aneg and read_status are required to be

+functions if at all possible: genphy_read_status and
+genphy_config_aneg. If this is not possible, it is likely that

+
+Feel free to look at the Marvell, Cicada, and Davicom drivers in

+
+The PHY's MMD register accesses are handled by the PAL framework
+by default, but can be overridden by a specific PHY driver if

+standardized by the IEEE. Most modern PHYs will be able to use
+the generic PAL framework for accessing the PHY's MMD registers.
+An example of such usage is for Energy Efficient Ethernet support,
+implemented in the PAL. This support uses the PAL to access MMD
+registers for EEE query and configuration if the PHY supports
+the IEEE standard access mechanisms, or can use the PHY's specific

+
+Board Fixups
+============
+
+Sometimes the specific interaction between the platform and the PHY requires
+special handling. For instance, to change where the PHY's clock input is,
+or to add a delay to account for latency issues in the data path. In order
+to support such contingencies, the PHY Layer allows platform code to register
+fixups to be run when the PHY is brought up (or subsequently reset).
+
+When the PHY Layer brings up a PHY it checks to see if there are any fixups
+registered for it, matching based on UID (contained in the PHY device's phy_id
+field) and the bus identifier (contained in phydev->dev.bus_id). Both must
+match, however two constants, PHY_ANY_ID and PHY_ANY_UID, are provided as
+wildcards for the bus ID and UID, respectively.
+
+When a match is found, the PHY layer will invoke the run function associated
+with the fixup. This function is passed a pointer to the phy_device of
+interest. It should therefore only operate on that PHY.
+
+The platform code can either register the fixup using phy_register_fixup()::
+
+ int phy_register_fixup(const char *phy_id,
+ u32 phy_uid, u32 phy_uid_mask,
+ int (*run)(struct phy_device *));
+
+Or using one of the two stubs, phy_register_fixup_for_uid() and
+phy_register_fixup_for_id()::
+
+ int phy_register_fixup_for_uid(u32 phy_uid, u32 phy_uid_mask,
+ int (*run)(struct phy_device *));
+ int phy_register_fixup_for_id(const char *phy_id,
+ int (*run)(struct phy_device *));
+
+The stubs set one of the two matching criteria, and set the other one to
+match anything.
+
+When phy_register_fixup() or \*_for_uid()/\*_for_id() is called at module,
+unregister fixup and free allocate memory are required.
+
+Call one of following function before unloading module::
+
+ int phy_unregister_fixup(const char *phy_id, u32 phy_uid, u32 phy_uid_mask);
+ int phy_unregister_fixup_for_uid(u32 phy_uid, u32 phy_uid_mask);
+ int phy_register_fixup_for_id(const char *phy_id);

--------
-PHY Abstraction Layer
-(Updated 2008-04-08)
-
-Purpose
-
- Most network devices consist of set of registers which provide an interface
- to a MAC layer, which communicates with the physical connection through a
- PHY. The PHY concerns itself with negotiating link parameters with the link
- partner on the other side of the network connection (typically, an ethernet
- cable), and provides a register interface to allow drivers to determine what
- settings were chosen, and to configure what settings are allowed.
-
- While these devices are distinct from the network devices, and conform to a
- standard layout for the registers, it has been common practice to integrate
- the PHY management code with the network driver. This has resulted in large
- amounts of redundant code. Also, on embedded systems with multiple (and
- sometimes quite different) ethernet controllers connected to the same
- management bus, it is difficult to ensure safe use of the bus.
-
- Since the PHYs are devices, and the management busses through which they are
- accessed are, in fact, busses, the PHY Abstraction Layer treats them as such.
- In doing so, it has these goals:
-
- 1) Increase code-reuse
- 2) Increase overall code-maintainability
- 3) Speed development time for new network drivers, and for new systems
-
- Basically, this layer is meant to provide an interface to PHY devices which
- allows network driver writers to write as little code as possible, while
- still providing a full feature set.
-
-The MDIO bus
-
- Most network devices are connected to a PHY by means of a management bus.
- Different devices use different busses (though some share common interfaces).
- In order to take advantage of the PAL, each bus interface needs to be
- registered as a distinct device.
-
- 1) read and write functions must be implemented. Their prototypes are:
-
- int write(struct mii_bus *bus, int mii_id, int regnum, u16 value);
- int read(struct mii_bus *bus, int mii_id, int regnum);
-
- mii_id is the address on the bus for the PHY, and regnum is the register
- number. These functions are guaranteed not to be called from interrupt
- time, so it is safe for them to block, waiting for an interrupt to signal
- the operation is complete
-
- 2) A reset function is optional. This is used to return the bus to an
- initialized state.
-
- 3) A probe function is needed. This function should set up anything the bus
- driver needs, setup the mii_bus structure, and register with the PAL using
- mdiobus_register. Similarly, there's a remove function to undo all of
- that (use mdiobus_unregister).
-
- 4) Like any driver, the device_driver structure must be configured, and init
- exit functions are used to register the driver.
-
- 5) The bus must also be declared somewhere as a device, and registered.
-
- As an example for how one driver implemented an mdio bus driver, see
- drivers/net/ethernet/freescale/fsl_pq_mdio.c and an associated DTS file
- for one of the users. (e.g. "git grep fsl,.*-mdio arch/powerpc/boot/dts/")
-
-(RG)MII/electrical interface considerations
-
- The Reduced Gigabit Medium Independent Interface (RGMII) is a 12-pin
- electrical signal interface using a synchronous 125Mhz clock signal and several
- data lines. Due to this design decision, a 1.5ns to 2ns delay must be added
- between the clock line (RXC or TXC) and the data lines to let the PHY (clock
- sink) have enough setup and hold times to sample the data lines correctly. The
- PHY library offers different types of PHY_INTERFACE_MODE_RGMII* values to let
- the PHY driver and optionally the MAC driver, implement the required delay. The
- values of phy_interface_t must be understood from the perspective of the PHY
- device itself, leading to the following:
-
- * PHY_INTERFACE_MODE_RGMII: the PHY is not responsible for inserting any
- internal delay by itself, it assumes that either the Ethernet MAC (if capable
- or the PCB traces) insert the correct 1.5-2ns delay
-
- * PHY_INTERFACE_MODE_RGMII_TXID: the PHY should insert an internal delay
- for the transmit data lines (TXD[3:0]) processed by the PHY device
-
- * PHY_INTERFACE_MODE_RGMII_RXID: the PHY should insert an internal delay
- for the receive data lines (RXD[3:0]) processed by the PHY device
-
- * PHY_INTERFACE_MODE_RGMII_ID: the PHY should insert internal delays for
- both transmit AND receive data lines from/to the PHY device
-
- Whenever possible, use the PHY side RGMII delay for these reasons:
-
- * PHY devices may offer sub-nanosecond granularity in how they allow a
- receiver/transmitter side delay (e.g: 0.5, 1.0, 1.5ns) to be specified. Such
- precision may be required to account for differences in PCB trace lengths
-
- * PHY devices are typically qualified for a large range of applications
- (industrial, medical, automotive...), and they provide a constant and
- reliable delay across temperature/pressure/voltage ranges
-
- * PHY device drivers in PHYLIB being reusable by nature, being able to
- configure correctly a specified delay enables more designs with similar delay
- requirements to be operate correctly
-
- For cases where the PHY is not capable of providing this delay, but the
- Ethernet MAC driver is capable of doing so, the correct phy_interface_t value
- should be PHY_INTERFACE_MODE_RGMII, and the Ethernet MAC driver should be
- configured correctly in order to provide the required transmit and/or receive
- side delay from the perspective of the PHY device. Conversely, if the Ethernet
- MAC driver looks at the phy_interface_t value, for any other mode but
- PHY_INTERFACE_MODE_RGMII, it should make sure that the MAC-level delays are
- disabled.
-
- In case neither the Ethernet MAC, nor the PHY are capable of providing the
- required delays, as defined per the RGMII standard, several options may be
- available:
-
- * Some SoCs may offer a pin pad/mux/controller capable of configuring a given
- set of pins'strength, delays, and voltage; and it may be a suitable
- option to insert the expected 2ns RGMII delay.
-
- * Modifying the PCB design to include a fixed delay (e.g: using a specifically
- designed serpentine), which may not require software configuration at all.
-
-Common problems with RGMII delay mismatch
-
- When there is a RGMII delay mismatch between the Ethernet MAC and the PHY, this
- will most likely result in the clock and data line signals to be unstable when
- the PHY or MAC take a snapshot of these signals to translate them into logical
- 1 or 0 states and reconstruct the data being transmitted/received. Typical
- symptoms include:
-
- * Transmission/reception partially works, and there is frequent or occasional
- packet loss observed
-
- * Ethernet MAC may report some or all packets ingressing with a FCS/CRC error,
- or just discard them all
-
- * Switching to lower speeds such as 10/100Mbits/sec makes the problem go away
- (since there is enough setup/hold time in that case)
-
-
-Connecting to a PHY
-
- Sometime during startup, the network driver needs to establish a connection
- between the PHY device, and the network device. At this time, the PHY's bus
- and drivers need to all have been loaded, so it is ready for the connection.
- At this point, there are several ways to connect to the PHY:
-
- 1) The PAL handles everything, and only calls the network driver when
- the link state changes, so it can react.
-
- 2) The PAL handles everything except interrupts (usually because the
- controller has the interrupt registers).
-
- 3) The PAL handles everything, but checks in with the driver every second,
- allowing the network driver to react first to any changes before the PAL
- does.
-
- 4) The PAL serves only as a library of functions, with the network device
- manually calling functions to update status, and configure the PHY
-
-
-Letting the PHY Abstraction Layer do Everything
-
- If you choose option 1 (The hope is that every driver can, but to still be
- useful to drivers that can't), connecting to the PHY is simple:
-
- First, you need a function to react to changes in the link state. This
- function follows this protocol:
-
- static void adjust_link(struct net_device *dev);
-
- Next, you need to know the device name of the PHY connected to this device.
- The name will look something like, "0:00", where the first number is the
- bus id, and the second is the PHY's address on that bus. Typically,
- the bus is responsible for making its ID unique.
-
- Now, to connect, just call this function:
-
- phydev = phy_connect(dev, phy_name, &adjust_link, interface);
-
- phydev is a pointer to the phy_device structure which represents the PHY. If
- phy_connect is successful, it will return the pointer. dev, here, is the
- pointer to your net_device. Once done, this function will have started the
- PHY's software state machine, and registered for the PHY's interrupt, if it
- has one. The phydev structure will be populated with information about the
- current state, though the PHY will not yet be truly operational at this
- point.
-
- PHY-specific flags should be set in phydev->dev_flags prior to the call
- to phy_connect() such that the underlying PHY driver can check for flags
- and perform specific operations based on them.
- This is useful if the system has put hardware restrictions on
- the PHY/controller, of which the PHY needs to be aware.
-
- interface is a u32 which specifies the connection type used
- between the controller and the PHY. Examples are GMII, MII,
- RGMII, and SGMII. For a full list, see include/linux/phy.h
-
- Now just make sure that phydev->supported and phydev->advertising have any
- values pruned from them which don't make sense for your controller (a 10/100
- controller may be connected to a gigabit capable PHY, so you would need to
- mask off SUPPORTED_1000baseT*). See include/linux/ethtool.h for definitions
- for these bitfields. Note that you should not SET any bits, except the
- SUPPORTED_Pause and SUPPORTED_AsymPause bits (see below), or the PHY may get
- put into an unsupported state.
-
- Lastly, once the controller is ready to handle network traffic, you call
- phy_start(phydev). This tells the PAL that you are ready, and configures the
- PHY to connect to the network. If you want to handle your own interrupts,
- just set phydev->irq to PHY_IGNORE_INTERRUPT before you call phy_start.
- Similarly, if you don't want to use interrupts, set phydev->irq to PHY_POLL.
-
- When you want to disconnect from the network (even if just briefly), you call
- phy_stop(phydev).
-
-Pause frames / flow control
-
- The PHY does not participate directly in flow control/pause frames except by
- making sure that the SUPPORTED_Pause and SUPPORTED_AsymPause bits are set in
- MII_ADVERTISE to indicate towards the link partner that the Ethernet MAC
- controller supports such a thing. Since flow control/pause frames generation
- involves the Ethernet MAC driver, it is recommended that this driver takes care
- of properly indicating advertisement and support for such features by setting
- the SUPPORTED_Pause and SUPPORTED_AsymPause bits accordingly. This can be done
- either before or after phy_connect() and/or as a result of implementing the
- ethtool::set_pauseparam feature.
-
-
-Keeping Close Tabs on the PAL
-
- It is possible that the PAL's built-in state machine needs a little help to
- keep your network device and the PHY properly in sync. If so, you can
- register a helper function when connecting to the PHY, which will be called
- every second before the state machine reacts to any changes. To do this, you
- need to manually call phy_attach() and phy_prepare_link(), and then call
- phy_start_machine() with the second argument set to point to your special
- handler.
-
- Currently there are no examples of how to use this functionality, and testing
- on it has been limited because the author does not have any drivers which use
- it (they all use option 1). So Caveat Emptor.
-
-Doing it all yourself
-
- There's a remote chance that the PAL's built-in state machine cannot track
- the complex interactions between the PHY and your network device. If this is
- so, you can simply call phy_attach(), and not call phy_start_machine or
- phy_prepare_link(). This will mean that phydev->state is entirely yours to
- handle (phy_start and phy_stop toggle between some of the states, so you
- might need to avoid them).
-
- An effort has been made to make sure that useful functionality can be
- accessed without the state-machine running, and most of these functions are
- descended from functions which did not interact with a complex state-machine.
- However, again, no effort has been made so far to test running without the
- state machine, so tryer beware.
-
- Here is a brief rundown of the functions:
-
- int phy_read(struct phy_device *phydev, u16 regnum);
- int phy_write(struct phy_device *phydev, u16 regnum, u16 val);
-
- Simple read/write primitives. They invoke the bus's read/write function
- pointers.
-
- void phy_print_status(struct phy_device *phydev);
-
- A convenience function to print out the PHY status neatly.
-
- int phy_start_interrupts(struct phy_device *phydev);
- int phy_stop_interrupts(struct phy_device *phydev);
-
- Requests the IRQ for the PHY interrupts, then enables them for
- start, or disables then frees them for stop.
-
- struct phy_device * phy_attach(struct net_device *dev, const char *phy_id,
- phy_interface_t interface);
-
- Attaches a network device to a particular PHY, binding the PHY to a generic
- driver if none was found during bus initialization.
-
- int phy_start_aneg(struct phy_device *phydev);
-
- Using variables inside the phydev structure, either configures advertising
- and resets autonegotiation, or disables autonegotiation, and configures
- forced settings.
-
- static inline int phy_read_status(struct phy_device *phydev);
-
- Fills the phydev structure with up-to-date information about the current
- settings in the PHY.
-
- int phy_ethtool_sset(struct phy_device *phydev, struct ethtool_cmd *cmd);
-
- Ethtool convenience functions.
-
- int phy_mii_ioctl(struct phy_device *phydev,
- struct mii_ioctl_data *mii_data, int cmd);
-
- The MII ioctl. Note that this function will completely screw up the state
- machine if you write registers like BMCR, BMSR, ADVERTISE, etc. Best to
- use this only to write registers which are not standard, and don't set off
- a renegotiation.
-
-
-PHY Device Drivers
-
- With the PHY Abstraction Layer, adding support for new PHYs is
- quite easy. In some cases, no work is required at all! However,
- many PHYs require a little hand-holding to get up-and-running.
-
-Generic PHY driver
-
- If the desired PHY doesn't have any errata, quirks, or special
- features you want to support, then it may be best to not add
- support, and let the PHY Abstraction Layer's Generic PHY Driver
- do all of the work.
-
-Writing a PHY driver
-
- If you do need to write a PHY driver, the first thing to do is
- make sure it can be matched with an appropriate PHY device.
- This is done during bus initialization by reading the device's
- UID (stored in registers 2 and 3), then comparing it to each
- driver's phy_id field by ANDing it with each driver's
- phy_id_mask field. Also, it needs a name. Here's an example:
-
- static struct phy_driver dm9161_driver = {
- .phy_id = 0x0181b880,
- .name = "Davicom DM9161E",
- .phy_id_mask = 0x0ffffff0,
- ...
- }
-
- Next, you need to specify what features (speed, duplex, autoneg,
- etc) your PHY device and driver support. Most PHYs support
- PHY_BASIC_FEATURES, but you can look in include/mii.h for other
- features.
-
- Each driver consists of a number of function pointers, documented
- in include/linux/phy.h under the phy_driver structure.
-
- Of these, only config_aneg and read_status are required to be
- assigned by the driver code. The rest are optional. Also, it is
- preferred to use the generic phy driver's versions of these two
- functions if at all possible: genphy_read_status and
- genphy_config_aneg. If this is not possible, it is likely that
- you only need to perform some actions before and after invoking
- these functions, and so your functions will wrap the generic
- ones.
-
- Feel free to look at the Marvell, Cicada, and Davicom drivers in
- drivers/net/phy/ for examples (the lxt and qsemi drivers have
- not been tested as of this writing).
-
- The PHY's MMD register accesses are handled by the PAL framework
- by default, but can be overridden by a specific PHY driver if
- required. This could be the case if a PHY was released for
- manufacturing before the MMD PHY register definitions were
- standardized by the IEEE. Most modern PHYs will be able to use
- the generic PAL framework for accessing the PHY's MMD registers.
- An example of such usage is for Energy Efficient Ethernet support,
- implemented in the PAL. This support uses the PAL to access MMD
- registers for EEE query and configuration if the PHY supports
- the IEEE standard access mechanisms, or can use the PHY's specific
- access interfaces if overridden by the specific PHY driver. See
- the Micrel driver in drivers/net/phy/ for an example of how this
- can be implemented.
-
-Board Fixups
-
- Sometimes the specific interaction between the platform and the PHY requires
- special handling. For instance, to change where the PHY's clock input is,
- or to add a delay to account for latency issues in the data path. In order
- to support such contingencies, the PHY Layer allows platform code to register
- fixups to be run when the PHY is brought up (or subsequently reset).
-
- When the PHY Layer brings up a PHY it checks to see if there are any fixups
- registered for it, matching based on UID (contained in the PHY device's phy_id
- field) and the bus identifier (contained in phydev->dev.bus_id). Both must
- match, however two constants, PHY_ANY_ID and PHY_ANY_UID, are provided as
- wildcards for the bus ID and UID, respectively.
-
- When a match is found, the PHY layer will invoke the run function associated
- with the fixup. This function is passed a pointer to the phy_device of
- interest. It should therefore only operate on that PHY.
-
- The platform code can either register the fixup using phy_register_fixup():
-
- int phy_register_fixup(const char *phy_id,
- u32 phy_uid, u32 phy_uid_mask,
- int (*run)(struct phy_device *));
-
- Or using one of the two stubs, phy_register_fixup_for_uid() and
- phy_register_fixup_for_id():
-
- int phy_register_fixup_for_uid(u32 phy_uid, u32 phy_uid_mask,
- int (*run)(struct phy_device *));
- int phy_register_fixup_for_id(const char *phy_id,
- int (*run)(struct phy_device *));
-
- The stubs set one of the two matching criteria, and set the other one to
- match anything.
-
- When phy_register_fixup() or *_for_uid()/*_for_id() is called at module,
- unregister fixup and free allocate memory are required.
-
- Call one of following function before unloading module.
-
- int phy_unregister_fixup(const char *phy_id, u32 phy_uid, u32 phy_uid_mask);
- int phy_unregister_fixup_for_uid(u32 phy_uid, u32 phy_uid_mask);

+
+Overview
+========
+
+phylink is a mechanism to support hot-pluggable networking modules
+without needing to re-initialise the adapter on hot-plug events.
+
+phylink supports conventional phylib-based setups, fixed link setups
+and SFP (Small Formfactor Pluggable) modules at present.
+
+Modes of operation
+==================
+
+phylink has several modes of operation, which depend on the firmware
+settings.
+
+1. PHY mode
+
+ In PHY mode, we use phylib to read the current link settings from
+ the PHY, and pass them to the MAC driver. We expect the MAC driver
+ to configure exactly the modes that are specified without any
+ negotiation being enabled on the link.
+
+2. Fixed mode
+
+ Fixed mode is the same as PHY mode as far as the MAC driver is
+ concerned.
+
+3. In-band mode
+
+ In-band mode is used with 802.3z, SGMII and similar interface modes,
+ and we are expecting to use and honor the in-band negotiation or
+ control word sent across the serdes channel.
+
+By example, what this means is that:
+
+.. code-block:: none
+
+ &eth {
+ phy = <&phy>;
+ phy-mode = "sgmii";
+ };
+
+does not use in-band SGMII signalling. The PHY is expected to follow
+exactly the settings given to it in its :c:func:`mac_config` function.
+The link should be forced up or down appropriately in the
+:c:func:`mac_link_up` and :c:func:`mac_link_down` functions.
+
+.. code-block:: none
+
+ &eth {
+ managed = "in-band-status";
+ phy = <&phy>;
+ phy-mode = "sgmii";
+ };
+
+uses in-band mode, where results from the PHY's negotiation are passed
+to the MAC through the SGMII control word, and the MAC is expected to
+acknowledge the control word. The :c:func:`mac_link_up` and
+:c:func:`mac_link_down` functions must not force the MAC side link
+up and down.
+
+Rough guide to converting a network driver to sfp/phylink
+=========================================================
+
+This guide briefly describes how to convert a network driver from
+phylib to the sfp/phylink support. Please send patches to improve
+this documentation.
+
+1. Optionally split the network driver's phylib update function into
+ three parts dealing with link-down, link-up and reconfiguring the
+ MAC settings. This can be done as a separate preparation commit.
+
+ An example of this preparation can be found in git commit fc548b991fb0.
+
+2. Replace::
+
+ select FIXED_PHY
+ select PHYLIB
+
+ with::
+
+ select PHYLINK
+
+ in the driver's Kconfig stanza.
+
+3. Add::
+
+ #include <linux/phylink.h>
+
+ to the driver's list of header files.
+
+4. Add::
+
+ struct phylink *phylink;
+
+ to the driver's private data structure. We shall refer to the
+ driver's private data pointer as ``priv`` below, and the driver's
+ private data structure as ``struct foo_priv``.
+
+5. Replace the following functions:
+
+ .. flat-table::
+ :header-rows: 1
+ :widths: 1 1
+ :stub-columns: 0
+
+ * - Original function
+ - Replacement function
+ * - phy_start(phydev)
+ - phylink_start(priv->phylink)
+ * - phy_stop(phydev)
+ - phylink_stop(priv->phylink)
+ * - phy_mii_ioctl(phydev, ifr, cmd)
+ - phylink_mii_ioctl(priv->phylink, ifr, cmd)
+ * - phy_ethtool_get_wol(phydev, wol)
+ - phylink_ethtool_get_wol(priv->phylink, wol)
+ * - phy_ethtool_set_wol(phydev, wol)
+ - phylink_ethtool_set_wol(priv->phylink, wol)
+ * - phy_disconnect(phydev)
+ - phylink_disconnect_phy(priv->phylink)
+
+ Please note that some of these functions must be called under the
+ rtnl lock, and will warn if not. This will normally be the case,
+ except if these are called from the driver suspend/resume paths.
+
+6. Add/replace ksettings get/set methods with:
+
+ .. code-block:: c
+
+ static int foo_ethtool_set_link_ksettings(struct net_device *dev,
+ const struct ethtool_link_ksettings *cmd)
+ {
+ struct foo_priv *priv = netdev_priv(dev);
+
+ return phylink_ethtool_ksettings_set(priv->phylink, cmd);
+ }
+
+ static int foo_ethtool_get_link_ksettings(struct net_device *dev,
+ struct ethtool_link_ksettings *cmd)
+ {
+ struct foo_priv *priv = netdev_priv(dev);
+
+ return phylink_ethtool_ksettings_get(priv->phylink, cmd);
+ }
+
+7. Replace the call to:
+
+ phy_dev = of_phy_connect(dev, node, link_func, flags, phy_interface);
+
+ and associated code with a call to:
+
+ err = phylink_of_phy_connect(priv->phylink, node, flags);
+
+ For the most part, ``flags`` can be zero; these flags are passed to
+ the of_phy_attach() inside this function call if a PHY is specified
+ in the DT node ``node``.
+
+ ``node`` should be the DT node which contains the network phy property,
+ fixed link properties, and will also contain the sfp property.
+
+ The setup of fixed links should also be removed; these are handled
+ internally by phylink.
+
+ of_phy_connect() was also passed a function pointer for link updates.
+ This function is replaced by a different form of MAC updates
+ described below in (8).
+
+ Manipulation of the PHY's supported/advertised happens within phylink
+ based on the validate callback, see below in (8).
+
+ Note that the driver no longer needs to store the ``phy_interface``,
+ and also note that ``phy_interface`` becomes a dynamic property,
+ just like the speed, duplex etc. settings.
+
+ Finally, note that the MAC driver has no direct access to the PHY
+ anymore; that is because in the phylink model, the PHY can be
+ dynamic.
+
+8. Add a :c:type:`struct phylink_mac_ops <phylink_mac_ops>` instance to
+ the driver, which is a table of function pointers, and implement
+ these functions. The old link update function for
+ :c:func:`of_phy_connect` becomes three methods: :c:func:`mac_link_up`,
+ :c:func:`mac_link_down`, and :c:func:`mac_config`. If step 1 was
+ performed, then the functionality will have been split there.
+
+ It is important that if in-band negotiation is used,
+ :c:func:`mac_link_up` and :c:func:`mac_link_down` do not prevent the
+ in-band negotiation from completing, since these functions are called
+ when the in-band link state changes - otherwise the link will never
+ come up.
+
+ The :c:func:`validate` method should mask the supplied supported mask,
+ and ``state->advertising`` with the supported ethtool link modes.
+ These are the new ethtool link modes, so bitmask operations must be
+ used. For an example, see drivers/net/ethernet/marvell/mvneta.c.
+
+ The :c:func:`mac_link_state` method is used to read the link state
+ from the MAC, and report back the settings that the MAC is currently
+ using. This is particularly important for in-band negotiation
+ methods such as 1000base-X and SGMII.
+
+ The :c:func:`mac_config` method is used to update the MAC with the
+ requested state, and must avoid unnecessarily taking the link down
+ when making changes to the MAC configuration. This means the
+ function should modify the state and only take the link down when
+ absolutely necessary to change the MAC configuration. An example
+ of how to do this can be found in :c:func:`mvneta_mac_config` in
+ drivers/net/ethernet/marvell/mvneta.c.
+
+ For further information on these methods, please see the inline
+ documentation in :c:type:`struct phylink_mac_ops <phylink_mac_ops>`.
+
+9. Remove calls to of_parse_phandle() for the PHY,
+ of_phy_register_fixed_link() for fixed links etc. from the probe
+ function, and replace with:
+
+ .. code-block:: c
+
+ struct phylink *phylink;
+
+ phylink = phylink_create(dev, node, phy_mode, &phylink_ops);
+ if (IS_ERR(phylink)) {
+ err = PTR_ERR(phylink);
+ fail probe;
+ }
+
+ priv->phylink = phylink;
+
+ and arrange to destroy the phylink in the probe failure path as
+ appropriate and the removal path too by calling:
+
+ .. code-block:: c
+
+ phylink_destroy(priv->phylink);
+
+10. Arrange for MAC link state interrupts to be forwarded into
+ phylink, via:
+
+ .. code-block:: c
+
+ phylink_mac_change(priv->phylink, link_is_up);
+
+ where ``link_is_up`` is true if the link is currently up or false
+ otherwise.
+
+11. Verify that the driver does not call::
+
+ netif_carrier_on()
+ netif_carrier_off()
+
+ as these will interfere with phylink's tracking of the link state,
+ and cause phylink to omit calls via the :c:func:`mac_link_up` and
+ :c:func:`mac_link_down` methods.
+
+Network drivers should call phylink_stop() and phylink_start() via their
+suspend/resume paths, which ensures that the appropriate
+:c:type:`struct phylink_mac_ops <phylink_mac_ops>` methods are called
+as necessary.
+

+documentation in the kernel source tree

+invalid SACK and DSACK
+====================
+When a SACK (or DSACK) block is invalid, a corresponding counter would
+be updated. The validation method is base on the start/end sequence
+number of the SACK block. For more details, please refer the comment
+of the function tcp_is_sackblock_valid in the kernel source code. A
+SACK option could have up to 4 blocks, they are checked
+individually. E.g., if 3 blocks of a SACk is invalid, the
+corresponding counter would be updated 3 times. The comment of the
+`Add counters for discarded SACK blocks`_ patch has additional
+explaination:
+
+.. _Add counters for discarded SACK blocks: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=18f02545a9a16c9a89778b91a162ad16d510bb32
+
+* TcpExtTCPSACKDiscard
+This counter indicates how many SACK blocks are invalid. If the invalid
+SACK block is caused by ACK recording, the TCP stack will only ignore
+it and won't update this counter.
+
+* TcpExtTCPDSACKIgnoredOld and TcpExtTCPDSACKIgnoredNoUndo
+When a DSACK block is invalid, one of these two counters would be
+updated. Which counter will be updated depends on the undo_marker flag
+of the TCP socket. If the undo_marker is not set, the TCP stack isn't
+likely to re-transmit any packets, and we still receive an invalid
+DSACK block, the reason might be that the packet is duplicated in the
+middle of the network. In such scenario, TcpExtTCPDSACKIgnoredNoUndo
+will be updated. If the undo_marker is set, TcpExtTCPDSACKIgnoredOld
+will be updated. As implied in its name, it might be an old packet.
+
+SACK shift
+=========
+The linux networking stack stores data in sk_buff struct (skb for
+short). If a SACK block acrosses multiple skb, the TCP stack will try
+to re-arrange data in these skb. E.g. if a SACK block acknowledges seq
+10 to 15, skb1 has seq 10 to 13, skb2 has seq 14 to 20. The seq 14 and
+15 in skb2 would be moved to skb1. This operation is 'shift'. If a
+SACK block acknowledges seq 10 to 20, skb1 has seq 10 to 13, skb2 has
+seq 14 to 20. All data in skb2 will be moved to skb1, and skb2 will be

+general description.
+
+.. _TCP Fast Open wiki: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TCP_Fast_Open
+
+* TcpExtTCPFastOpenActive
+
+When the TCP stack receives an ACK packet in the SYN-SENT status, and
+the ACK packet acknowledges the data in the SYN packet, the TCP stack
+understand the TFO cookie is accepted by the other side, then it
+updates this counter.
+
+* TcpExtTCPFastOpenActiveFail
+
+This counter indicates that the TCP stack initiated a TCP Fast Open,
+but it failed. This counter would be updated in three scenarios: (1)
+the other side doesn't acknowledge the data in the SYN packet. (2) The
+SYN packet which has the TFO cookie is timeout at least once. (3)
+after the 3-way handshake, the retransmission timeout happens
+net.ipv4.tcp_retries1 times, because some middle-boxes may black-hole
+fast open after the handshake.
+
+* TcpExtTCPFastOpenPassive
+
+This counter indicates how many times the TCP stack accepts the fast
+open request.
+
+* TcpExtTCPFastOpenPassiveFail
+
+This counter indicates how many times the TCP stack rejects the fast
+open request. It is caused by either the TFO cookie is invalid or the
+TCP stack finds an error during the socket creating process.
+
+* TcpExtTCPFastOpenListenOverflow
+
+When the pending fast open request number is larger than
+fastopenq->max_qlen, the TCP stack will reject the fast open request
+and update this counter. When this counter is updated, the TCP stack
+won't update TcpExtTCPFastOpenPassive or
+TcpExtTCPFastOpenPassiveFail. The fastopenq->max_qlen is set by the
+TCP_FASTOPEN socket operation and it could not be larger than
+net.core.somaxconn. For example:

+
+prune
+=====
+When a socket is under memory pressure, the TCP stack will try to
+reclaim memory from the receiving queue and out of order queue. One of
+the reclaiming method is 'collapse', which means allocate a big sbk,
+copy the contiguous skbs to the single big skb, and free these
+contiguous skbs.
+
+* TcpExtPruneCalled
+
+The TCP stack tries to reclaim memory for a socket. After updates this

+will try to discard packets from the out of order queue (and update the
+TcpExtOfoPruned counter)
+
+* TcpExtOfoPruned
+
+The TCP stack tries to discard packet on the out of order queue.
+
+* TcpExtRcvPruned
