+ the device must be idle before it will be autosuspended.
+ 0 means the device will be autosuspended as soon as

+ being autosuspended at all, and writing a negative value
+ will resume the device if it is already suspended.
+
+ The autosuspend delay for newly-created devices is set to

+Date: March 2007
+KernelVersion: 2.6.21
+Contact: Alan Stern <stern@rowland.harvard.edu>
+Description:
+ Each USB device directory will contain a file named
+ power/level. This file holds a power-level setting for
+ the device, one of "on", "auto", or "suspend".
+
+ "on" means that the device is not allowed to autosuspend,
+ although normal suspends for system sleep will still
+ be honored. "auto" means the device will autosuspend
+ and autoresume in the usual manner, according to the
+ capabilities of its driver. "suspend" means the device
+ is forced into a suspended state and it will not autoresume
+ in response to I/O requests. However remote-wakeup requests
+ from the device may still be enabled (the remote-wakeup
+ setting is controlled separately by the power/wakeup
+ attribute).
+
+ During normal use, devices should be left in the "auto"
+ level. The other levels are meant for administrative uses.
+ If you want to suspend a device immediately but leave it
+ free to wake up in response to I/O requests, you should
+ write "0" to power/autosuspend.

+SECURITY
+========
+
+Secure operations are initiated by acquiring a key using the klog program. A
+very primitive klog program is available at:
+
+ http://people.redhat.com/~dhowells/rxrpc/klog.c
+
+This should be compiled by:
+
+ make klog LDLIBS="-lcrypto -lcrypt -lkrb4 -lkeyutils"
+
+And then run as:
+
+ ./klog
+
+Assuming it's successful, this adds a key of type RxRPC, named for the service
+and cell, eg: "afs@<cellname>". This can be viewed with the keyctl program or
+by cat'ing /proc/keys:
+
+ [root@andromeda ~]# keyctl show

+
+Currently the username, realm, password and proposed ticket lifetime are
+compiled in to the program.
+
+It is not required to acquire a key before using AFS facilities, but if one is
+not acquired then all operations will be governed by the anonymous user parts
+of the ACLs.
+
+If a key is acquired, then all AFS operations, including mounts and automounts,
+made by a possessor of that key will be secured with that key.
+
+If a file is opened with a particular key and then the file descriptor is
+passed to a process that doesn't have that key (perhaps over an AF_UNIX
+socket), then the operations on the file will be made with key that was used to
+open the file.

+Emulating Open Drain Signals
+----------------------------
+Sometimes shared signals need to use "open drain" signaling, where only the
+low signal level is actually driven. (That term applies to CMOS transistors;
+"open collector" is used for TTL.) A pullup resistor causes the high signal
+level. This is sometimes called a "wire-AND"; or more practically, from the
+negative logic (low=true) perspective this is a "wire-OR".
+
+One common example of an open drain signal is a shared active-low IRQ line.
+Also, bidirectional data bus signals sometimes use open drain signals.
+
+Some GPIO controllers directly support open drain outputs; many don't. When
+you need open drain signaling but your hardware doesn't directly support it,
+there's a common idiom you can use to emulate it with any GPIO pin that can
+be used as either an input or an output:
+
+ LOW: gpio_direction_output(gpio, 0) ... this drives the signal
+ and overrides the pullup.
+
+ HIGH: gpio_direction_input(gpio) ... this turns off the output,
+ so the pullup (or some other device) controls the signal.
+
+If you are "driving" the signal high but gpio_get_value(gpio) reports a low
+value (after the appropriate rise time passes), you know some other component
+is driving the shared signal low. That's not necessarily an error. As one
+common example, that's how I2C clocks are stretched: a slave that needs a
+slower clock delays the rising edge of SCK, and the I2C master adjusts its
+signaling rate accordingly.
+
What do these conventions omit?

+IPF Machine Check (MC) error inject tool
+========================================
+
+IPF Machine Check (MC) error inject tool is used to inject MC
+errors from Linux. The tool is a test bed for IPF MC work flow including
+hardware correctable error handling, OS recoverable error handling, MC
+event logging, etc.
+
+The tool includes two parts: a kernel driver and a user application
+sample. The driver provides interface to PAL to inject error
+and query error injection capabilities. The driver code is in
+arch/ia64/kernel/err_inject.c. The application sample (shown below)
+provides a combination of various errors and calls the driver's interface
+(sysfs interface) to inject errors or query error injection capabilities.
+
+The tool can be used to test Intel IPF machine MC handling capabilities.
+It's especially useful for people who can not access hardware MC injection
+tool to inject error. It's also very useful to integrate with other
+software test suits to do stressful testing on IPF.
+
+Below is a sample application as part of the whole tool. The sample
+can be used as a working test tool. Or it can be expanded to include
+more features. It also can be a integrated into a libary or other user
+application to have more thorough test.
+
+The sample application takes err.conf as error configuation input. Gcc
+compiles the code. After you install err_inject driver, you can run
+this sample application to inject errors.
+
+Errata: Itanium 2 Processors Specification Update lists some errata against
+the pal_mc_error_inject PAL procedure. The following err.conf has been tested
+on latest Montecito PAL.
+
+err.conf:
+
+#This is configuration file for err_inject_tool.
+#The format of the each line is:
+#cpu, loop, interval, err_type_info, err_struct_info, err_data_buffer
+#where
+# cpu: logical cpu number the error will be inject in.
+# loop: times the error will be injected.
+# interval: In second. every so often one error is injected.
+# err_type_info, err_struct_info: PAL parameters.
+#
+#Note: All values are hex w/o or w/ 0x prefix.
+
+
+#On cpu2, inject only total 0x10 errors, interval 5 seconds
+#corrected, data cache, hier-2, physical addr(assigned by tool code).
+#working on Montecito latest PAL.
+2, 10, 5, 4101, 95
+
+#On cpu4, inject and consume total 0x10 errors, interval 5 seconds
+#corrected, data cache, hier-2, physical addr(assigned by tool code).
+#working on Montecito latest PAL.
+4, 10, 5, 4109, 95
+
+#On cpu15, inject and consume total 0x10 errors, interval 5 seconds
+#recoverable, DTR0, hier-2.
+#working on Montecito latest PAL.
+0xf, 0x10, 5, 4249, 15

BCM43xx Linux Driver Project
============================
-About this software
--------------------
+Introduction
+------------
-The goal of this project is to develop a linux driver for Broadcom
-BCM43xx chips, based on the specification at
-http://bcm-specs.sipsolutions.net/
+Many of the wireless devices found in modern notebook computers are
+based on the wireless chips produced by Broadcom. These devices have
+been a problem for Linux users as there is no open-source driver
+available. In addition, Broadcom has not released specifications
+for the device, and driver availability has been limited to the
+binary-only form used in the GPL versions of AP hardware such as the
+Linksys WRT54G, and the Windows and OS X drivers. Before this project
+began, the only way to use these devices were to use the Windows or
+OS X drivers with either the Linuxant or ndiswrapper modules. There
+is a strong penalty if this method is used as loading the binary-only
+module "taints" the kernel, and no kernel developer will help diagnose
+any kernel problems.
-The project page is http://bcm43xx.berlios.de/
+Development
+-----------
+This driver has been developed using
+a clean-room technique that is described at
+http://bcm-specs.sipsolutions.net/ReverseEngineeringProcess. For legal
+reasons, none of the clean-room crew works on the on the Linux driver,
+and none of the Linux developers sees anything but the specifications,
+which are the ultimate product of the reverse-engineering group.
-Requirements
-------------
+Software
+--------
+
+Since the release of the 2.6.17 kernel, the bcm43xx driver has been
+distributed with the kernel source, and is prebuilt in most, if not
+all, distributions. There is, however, additional software that is
+required. The firmware used by the chip is the intellectual property
+of Broadcom and they have not given the bcm43xx team redistribution
+rights to this firmware. Since we cannot legally redistribute
+the firwmare we cannot include it with the driver. Furthermore, it
+cannot be placed in the downloadable archives of any distributing
+organization; therefore, the user is responsible for obtaining the
+firmware and placing it in the appropriate location so that the driver
+can find it when initializing.
+
+To help with this process, the bcm43xx developers provide a separate
+program named bcm43xx-fwcutter to "cut" the firmware out of a
+Windows or OS X driver and write the extracted files to the proper
+location. This program is usually provided with the distribution;
+however, it may be downloaded from
+
+http://developer.berlios.de/project/showfiles.php?group_id=4547
-1) Linux Kernel 2.6.16 or later
- http://www.kernel.org/
+The firmware is available in two versions. V3 firmware is used with
+the in-kernel bcm43xx driver that uses a software MAC layer called
+SoftMAC, and will have a microcode revision of 0x127 or smaller. The
+V4 firmware is used by an out-of-kernel driver employing a variation of
+the Devicescape MAC layer known as d80211. Once bcm43xx-d80211 reaches
+a satisfactory level of development, it will replace bcm43xx-softmac
+in the kernel as it is much more flexible and powerful.
- You may want to configure your kernel with:
+A source for the latest V3 firmware is
- CONFIG_DEBUG_FS (optional):
- -> Kernel hacking
- -> Debug Filesystem
+http://downloads.openwrt.org/sources/wl_apsta-3.130.20.0.o
-2) SoftMAC IEEE 802.11 Networking Stack extension and patched ieee80211
- modules:
- http://softmac.sipsolutions.net/
+Once this file is downloaded, the command
+'bcm43xx-fwcutter -w <dir> <filename>'
+will extract the microcode and write it to directory
+<dir>. The correct directory will depend on your distribution;
+however, most use '/lib/firmware'. Once this step is completed,
+the bcm3xx driver should load when the system is booted. To see
+any messages relating to the driver, issue the command 'dmesg |
+grep bcm43xx' from a terminal window. If there are any problems,
+please send that output to Bcm43xx-dev@lists.berlios.de.
-3) Firmware Files
+Although the driver has been in-kernel since 2.6.17, the earliest
+version is quite limited in its capability. Patches that include
+all features of later versions are available for the stable kernel
+versions from 2.6.18. These will be needed if you use a BCM4318,
+or a PCI Express version (BCM4311 and BCM4312). In addition, if you
+have an early BCM4306 and more than 1 GB RAM, your kernel will need
+to be patched. These patches, which are being updated regularly,
+are available at ftp://lwfinger.dynalias.org/patches. Look for
+combined_2.6.YY.patch. Of course you will need kernel source downloaded
+from kernel.org, or the source from your distribution.
- Please try fwcutter. Fwcutter can extract the firmware from various
- binary driver files. It supports driver files from Windows, MacOS and
- Linux. You can get fwcutter from http://bcm43xx.berlios.de/.
- Also, fwcutter comes with a README file for further instructions.
+If you build your own kernel, please enable CONFIG_BCM43XX_DEBUG
+and CONFIG_IEEE80211_SOFTMAC_DEBUG. The log information provided is
+essential for solving any problems.

+ RxRPC NETWORK PROTOCOL
+ ======================
+
+The RxRPC protocol driver provides a reliable two-phase transport on top of UDP
+that can be used to perform RxRPC remote operations. This is done over sockets
+of AF_RXRPC family, using sendmsg() and recvmsg() with control data to send and
+receive data, aborts and errors.

+
+
+========
+OVERVIEW
+========
+
+RxRPC is a two-layer protocol. There is a session layer which provides
+reliable virtual connections using UDP over IPv4 (or IPv6) as the transport
+layer, but implements a real network protocol; and there's the presentation
+layer which renders structured data to binary blobs and back again using XDR
+(as does SunRPC):
+
+ +-------------+
+ | Application |
+ +-------------+
+ | XDR | Presentation
+ +-------------+
+ | RxRPC | Session
+ +-------------+
+ | UDP | Transport
+ +-------------+
+
+
+AF_RXRPC provides:
+
+ (1) Part of an RxRPC facility for both kernel and userspace applications by
+ making the session part of it a Linux network protocol (AF_RXRPC).
+
+ (2) A two-phase protocol. The client transmits a blob (the request) and then
+ receives a blob (the reply), and the server receives the request and then
+ transmits the reply.
+
+ (3) Retention of the reusable bits of the transport system set up for one call
+ to speed up subsequent calls.
+
+ (4) A secure protocol, using the Linux kernel's key retention facility to
+ manage security on the client end. The server end must of necessity be
+ more active in security negotiations.
+
+AF_RXRPC does not provide XDR marshalling/presentation facilities. That is
+left to the application. AF_RXRPC only deals in blobs. Even the operation ID
+is just the first four bytes of the request blob, and as such is beyond the
+kernel's interest.
+
+
+Sockets of AF_RXRPC family are:
+
+ (1) created as type SOCK_DGRAM;
+
+ (2) provided with a protocol of the type of underlying transport they're going
+ to use - currently only PF_INET is supported.
+
+
+The Andrew File System (AFS) is an example of an application that uses this and
+that has both kernel (filesystem) and userspace (utility) components.
+
+
+======================
+RXRPC PROTOCOL SUMMARY
+======================
+
+An overview of the RxRPC protocol:
+
+ (*) RxRPC sits on top of another networking protocol (UDP is the only option
+ currently), and uses this to provide network transport. UDP ports, for
+ example, provide transport endpoints.
+
+ (*) RxRPC supports multiple virtual "connections" from any given transport
+ endpoint, thus allowing the endpoints to be shared, even to the same
+ remote endpoint.
+
+ (*) Each connection goes to a particular "service". A connection may not go
+ to multiple services. A service may be considered the RxRPC equivalent of
+ a port number. AF_RXRPC permits multiple services to share an endpoint.
+
+ (*) Client-originating packets are marked, thus a transport endpoint can be
+ shared between client and server connections (connections have a
+ direction).
+
+ (*) Up to a billion connections may be supported concurrently between one
+ local transport endpoint and one service on one remote endpoint. An RxRPC
+ connection is described by seven numbers:
+
+ Local address }
+ Local port } Transport (UDP) address
+ Remote address }
+ Remote port }
+ Direction
+ Connection ID
+ Service ID
+
+ (*) Each RxRPC operation is a "call". A connection may make up to four
+ billion calls, but only up to four calls may be in progress on a
+ connection at any one time.
+
+ (*) Calls are two-phase and asymmetric: the client sends its request data,
+ which the service receives; then the service transmits the reply data
+ which the client receives.
+
+ (*) The data blobs are of indefinite size, the end of a phase is marked with a
+ flag in the packet. The number of packets of data making up one blob may
+ not exceed 4 billion, however, as this would cause the sequence number to
+ wrap.
+
+ (*) The first four bytes of the request data are the service operation ID.
+
+ (*) Security is negotiated on a per-connection basis. The connection is
+ initiated by the first data packet on it arriving. If security is
+ requested, the server then issues a "challenge" and then the client
+ replies with a "response". If the response is successful, the security is
+ set for the lifetime of that connection, and all subsequent calls made
+ upon it use that same security. In the event that the server lets a
+ connection lapse before the client, the security will be renegotiated if
+ the client uses the connection again.
+
+ (*) Calls use ACK packets to handle reliability. Data packets are also
+ explicitly sequenced per call.
+
+ (*) There are two types of positive acknowledgement: hard-ACKs and soft-ACKs.
+ A hard-ACK indicates to the far side that all the data received to a point
+ has been received and processed; a soft-ACK indicates that the data has
+ been received but may yet be discarded and re-requested. The sender may
+ not discard any transmittable packets until they've been hard-ACK'd.
+
+ (*) Reception of a reply data packet implicitly hard-ACK's all the data
+ packets that make up the request.
+
+ (*) An call is complete when the request has been sent, the reply has been
+ received and the final hard-ACK on the last packet of the reply has
+ reached the server.
+
+ (*) An call may be aborted by either end at any time up to its completion.
+
+
+=====================
+AF_RXRPC DRIVER MODEL
+=====================
+
+About the AF_RXRPC driver:
+
+ (*) The AF_RXRPC protocol transparently uses internal sockets of the transport
+ protocol to represent transport endpoints.
+
+ (*) AF_RXRPC sockets map onto RxRPC connection bundles. Actual RxRPC
+ connections are handled transparently. One client socket may be used to
+ make multiple simultaneous calls to the same service. One server socket
+ may handle calls from many clients.
+
+ (*) Additional parallel client connections will be initiated to support extra
+ concurrent calls, up to a tunable limit.
+
+ (*) Each connection is retained for a certain amount of time [tunable] after
+ the last call currently using it has completed in case a new call is made
+ that could reuse it.
+
+ (*) Each internal UDP socket is retained [tunable] for a certain amount of
+ time [tunable] after the last connection using it discarded, in case a new
+ connection is made that could use it.
+
+ (*) A client-side connection is only shared between calls if they have have
+ the same key struct describing their security (and assuming the calls
+ would otherwise share the connection). Non-secured calls would also be
+ able to share connections with each other.
+
+ (*) A server-side connection is shared if the client says it is.
+
+ (*) ACK'ing is handled by the protocol driver automatically, including ping
+ replying.
+
+ (*) SO_KEEPALIVE automatically pings the other side to keep the connection
+ alive [TODO].
+
+ (*) If an ICMP error is received, all calls affected by that error will be
+ aborted with an appropriate network error passed through recvmsg().
+
+
+Interaction with the user of the RxRPC socket:
+
+ (*) A socket is made into a server socket by binding an address with a
+ non-zero service ID.
+
+ (*) In the client, sending a request is achieved with one or more sendmsgs,
+ followed by the reply being received with one or more recvmsgs.
+
+ (*) The first sendmsg for a request to be sent from a client contains a tag to
+ be used in all other sendmsgs or recvmsgs associated with that call. The
+ tag is carried in the control data.
+
+ (*) connect() is used to supply a default destination address for a client
+ socket. This may be overridden by supplying an alternate address to the
+ first sendmsg() of a call (struct msghdr::msg_name).
+
+ (*) If connect() is called on an unbound client, a random local port will
+ bound before the operation takes place.
+
+ (*) A server socket may also be used to make client calls. To do this, the
+ first sendmsg() of the call must specify the target address. The server's
+ transport endpoint is used to send the packets.
+
+ (*) Once the application has received the last message associated with a call,
+ the tag is guaranteed not to be seen again, and so it can be used to pin
+ client resources. A new call can then be initiated with the same tag
+ without fear of interference.
+
+ (*) In the server, a request is received with one or more recvmsgs, then the
+ the reply is transmitted with one or more sendmsgs, and then the final ACK
+ is received with a last recvmsg.
+
+ (*) When sending data for a call, sendmsg is given MSG_MORE if there's more
+ data to come on that call.
+
+ (*) When receiving data for a call, recvmsg flags MSG_MORE if there's more
+ data to come for that call.
+
+ (*) When receiving data or messages for a call, MSG_EOR is flagged by recvmsg
+ to indicate the terminal message for that call.
+
+ (*) A call may be aborted by adding an abort control message to the control
+ data. Issuing an abort terminates the kernel's use of that call's tag.
+ Any messages waiting in the receive queue for that call will be discarded.
+
+ (*) Aborts, busy notifications and challenge packets are delivered by recvmsg,
+ and control data messages will be set to indicate the context. Receiving
+ an abort or a busy message terminates the kernel's use of that call's tag.
+
+ (*) The control data part of the msghdr struct is used for a number of things:
+
+ (*) The tag of the intended or affected call.
+
+ (*) Sending or receiving errors, aborts and busy notifications.
+
+ (*) Notifications of incoming calls.
+
+ (*) Sending debug requests and receiving debug replies [TODO].
+
+ (*) When the kernel has received and set up an incoming call, it sends a
+ message to server application to let it know there's a new call awaiting
+ its acceptance [recvmsg reports a special control message]. The server
+ application then uses sendmsg to assign a tag to the new call. Once that
+ is done, the first part of the request data will be delivered by recvmsg.
+
+ (*) The server application has to provide the server socket with a keyring of
+ secret keys corresponding to the security types it permits. When a secure
+ connection is being set up, the kernel looks up the appropriate secret key
+ in the keyring and then sends a challenge packet to the client and
+ receives a response packet. The kernel then checks the authorisation of
+ the packet and either aborts the connection or sets up the security.
+
+ (*) The name of the key a client will use to secure its communications is
+ nominated by a socket option.
+
+
+Notes on recvmsg:
+
+ (*) If there's a sequence of data messages belonging to a particular call on
+ the receive queue, then recvmsg will keep working through them until:
+
+ (a) it meets the end of that call's received data,
+
+ (b) it meets a non-data message,
+
+ (c) it meets a message belonging to a different call, or
+
+ (d) it fills the user buffer.
+
+ If recvmsg is called in blocking mode, it will keep sleeping, awaiting the
+ reception of further data, until one of the above four conditions is met.
+
+ (2) MSG_PEEK operates similarly, but will return immediately if it has put any
+ data in the buffer rather than sleeping until it can fill the buffer.
+
+ (3) If a data message is only partially consumed in filling a user buffer,
+ then the remainder of that message will be left on the front of the queue
+ for the next taker. MSG_TRUNC will never be flagged.
+
+ (4) If there is more data to be had on a call (it hasn't copied the last byte
+ of the last data message in that phase yet), then MSG_MORE will be
+ flagged.
+
+
+================
+CONTROL MESSAGES
+================
+
+AF_RXRPC makes use of control messages in sendmsg() and recvmsg() to multiplex
+calls, to invoke certain actions and to report certain conditions. These are:
+
+ MESSAGE ID SRT DATA MEANING
+ ======================= === =========== ===============================
+ RXRPC_USER_CALL_ID sr- User ID App's call specifier
+ RXRPC_ABORT srt Abort code Abort code to issue/received
+ RXRPC_ACK -rt n/a Final ACK received
+ RXRPC_NET_ERROR -rt error num Network error on call
+ RXRPC_BUSY -rt n/a Call rejected (server busy)
+ RXRPC_LOCAL_ERROR -rt error num Local error encountered
+ RXRPC_NEW_CALL -r- n/a New call received
+ RXRPC_ACCEPT s-- n/a Accept new call
+
+ (SRT = usable in Sendmsg / delivered by Recvmsg / Terminal message)
+
+ (*) RXRPC_USER_CALL_ID
+
+ This is used to indicate the application's call ID. It's an unsigned long
+ that the app specifies in the client by attaching it to the first data
+ message or in the server by passing it in association with an RXRPC_ACCEPT
+ message. recvmsg() passes it in conjunction with all messages except
+ those of the RXRPC_NEW_CALL message.
+
+ (*) RXRPC_ABORT
+
+ This is can be used by an application to abort a call by passing it to
+ sendmsg, or it can be delivered by recvmsg to indicate a remote abort was
+ received. Either way, it must be associated with an RXRPC_USER_CALL_ID to
+ specify the call affected. If an abort is being sent, then error EBADSLT
+ will be returned if there is no call with that user ID.
+
+ (*) RXRPC_ACK
+
+ This is delivered to a server application to indicate that the final ACK
+ of a call was received from the client. It will be associated with an
+ RXRPC_USER_CALL_ID to indicate the call that's now complete.
+
+ (*) RXRPC_NET_ERROR
+
+ This is delivered to an application to indicate that an ICMP error message
+ was encountered in the process of trying to talk to the peer. An
+ errno-class integer value will be included in the control message data
+ indicating the problem, and an RXRPC_USER_CALL_ID will indicate the call
+ affected.
+
+ (*) RXRPC_BUSY
+
+ This is delivered to a client application to indicate that a call was
+ rejected by the server due to the server being busy. It will be
+ associated with an RXRPC_USER_CALL_ID to indicate the rejected call.
+
+ (*) RXRPC_LOCAL_ERROR
+
+ This is delivered to an application to indicate that a local error was
+ encountered and that a call has been aborted because of it. An
+ errno-class integer value will be included in the control message data
+ indicating the problem, and an RXRPC_USER_CALL_ID will indicate the call
+ affected.
+
+ (*) RXRPC_NEW_CALL
+
+ This is delivered to indicate to a server application that a new call has
+ arrived and is awaiting acceptance. No user ID is associated with this,
+ as a user ID must subsequently be assigned by doing an RXRPC_ACCEPT.
+
+ (*) RXRPC_ACCEPT
+
+ This is used by a server application to attempt to accept a call and
+ assign it a user ID. It should be associated with an RXRPC_USER_CALL_ID
+ to indicate the user ID to be assigned. If there is no call to be
+ accepted (it may have timed out, been aborted, etc.), then sendmsg will
+ return error ENODATA. If the user ID is already in use by another call,
+ then error EBADSLT will be returned.
+
+
+==============
+SOCKET OPTIONS
+==============
+
+AF_RXRPC sockets support a few socket options at the SOL_RXRPC level:
+
+ (*) RXRPC_SECURITY_KEY
+
+ This is used to specify the description of the key to be used. The key is
+ extracted from the calling process's keyrings with request_key() and
+ should be of "rxrpc" type.
+
+ The optval pointer points to the description string, and optlen indicates
+ how long the string is, without the NUL terminator.
+
+ (*) RXRPC_SECURITY_KEYRING
+
+ Similar to above but specifies a keyring of server secret keys to use (key
+ type "keyring"). See the "Security" section.
+
+ (*) RXRPC_EXCLUSIVE_CONNECTION
+
+ This is used to request that new connections should be used for each call
+ made subsequently on this socket. optval should be NULL and optlen 0.
+
+ (*) RXRPC_MIN_SECURITY_LEVEL
+
+ This is used to specify the minimum security level required for calls on
+ this socket. optval must point to an int containing one of the following
+ values:
+
+ (a) RXRPC_SECURITY_PLAIN
+
+ Encrypted checksum only.
+
+ (b) RXRPC_SECURITY_AUTH
+
+ Encrypted checksum plus packet padded and first eight bytes of packet
+ encrypted - which includes the actual packet length.
+
+ (c) RXRPC_SECURITY_ENCRYPTED
+
+ Encrypted checksum plus entire packet padded and encrypted, including
+ actual packet length.
+
+
+========
+SECURITY
+========
+
+Currently, only the kerberos 4 equivalent protocol has been implemented
+(security index 2 - rxkad). This requires the rxkad module to be loaded and,
+on the client, tickets of the appropriate type to be obtained from the AFS
+kaserver or the kerberos server and installed as "rxrpc" type keys. This is
+normally done using the klog program. An example simple klog program can be
+found at:
+
+ http://people.redhat.com/~dhowells/rxrpc/klog.c
+
+The payload provided to add_key() on the client should be of the following
+form:
+
+ struct rxrpc_key_sec2_v1 {
+ uint16_t security_index; /* 2 */
+ uint16_t ticket_length; /* length of ticket[] */
+ uint32_t expiry; /* time at which expires */
+ uint8_t kvno; /* key version number */
+ uint8_t __pad[3];
+ uint8_t session_key[8]; /* DES session key */
+ uint8_t ticket[0]; /* the encrypted ticket */
+ };
+
+Where the ticket blob is just appended to the above structure.
+
+
+For the server, keys of type "rxrpc_s" must be made available to the server.
+They have a description of "<serviceID>:<securityIndex>" (eg: "52:2" for an
+rxkad key for the AFS VL service). When such a key is created, it should be
+given the server's secret key as the instantiation data (see the example
+below).
+
+ add_key("rxrpc_s", "52:2", secret_key, 8, keyring);
+
+A keyring is passed to the server socket by naming it in a sockopt. The server
+socket then looks the server secret keys up in this keyring when secure
+incoming connections are made. This can be seen in an example program that can
+be found at:
+
+ http://people.redhat.com/~dhowells/rxrpc/listen.c
+
+
+====================
+EXAMPLE CLIENT USAGE
+====================
+
+A client would issue an operation by:
+
+ (1) An RxRPC socket is set up by:
+
+ client = socket(AF_RXRPC, SOCK_DGRAM, PF_INET);
+
+ Where the third parameter indicates the protocol family of the transport
+ socket used - usually IPv4 but it can also be IPv6 [TODO].
+
+ (2) A local address can optionally be bound:
+
+ struct sockaddr_rxrpc srx = {
+ .srx_family = AF_RXRPC,
+ .srx_service = 0, /* we're a client */
+ .transport_type = SOCK_DGRAM, /* type of transport socket */
+ .transport.sin_family = AF_INET,
+ .transport.sin_port = htons(7000), /* AFS callback */
+ .transport.sin_address = 0, /* all local interfaces */
+ };
+ bind(client, &srx, sizeof(srx));
+
+ This specifies the local UDP port to be used. If not given, a random
+ non-privileged port will be used. A UDP port may be shared between
+ several unrelated RxRPC sockets. Security is handled on a basis of
+ per-RxRPC virtual connection.
+
+ (3) The security is set:
+
+ const char *key = "AFS:cambridge.redhat.com";
+ setsockopt(client, SOL_RXRPC, RXRPC_SECURITY_KEY, key, strlen(key));
+
+ This issues a request_key() to get the key representing the security
+ context. The minimum security level can be set:
+
+ unsigned int sec = RXRPC_SECURITY_ENCRYPTED;
+ setsockopt(client, SOL_RXRPC, RXRPC_MIN_SECURITY_LEVEL,
+ &sec, sizeof(sec));
+
+ (4) The server to be contacted can then be specified (alternatively this can
+ be done through sendmsg):
+
+ struct sockaddr_rxrpc srx = {
+ .srx_family = AF_RXRPC,
+ .srx_service = VL_SERVICE_ID,
+ .transport_type = SOCK_DGRAM, /* type of transport socket */
+ .transport.sin_family = AF_INET,
+ .transport.sin_port = htons(7005), /* AFS volume manager */
+ .transport.sin_address = ...,
+ };
+ connect(client, &srx, sizeof(srx));
+
+ (5) The request data should then be posted to the server socket using a series
+ of sendmsg() calls, each with the following control message attached:
+
+ RXRPC_USER_CALL_ID - specifies the user ID for this call
+
+ MSG_MORE should be set in msghdr::msg_flags on all but the last part of
+ the request. Multiple requests may be made simultaneously.
+
+ If a call is intended to go to a destination other then the default
+ specified through connect(), then msghdr::msg_name should be set on the
+ first request message of that call.
+
+ (6) The reply data will then be posted to the server socket for recvmsg() to
+ pick up. MSG_MORE will be flagged by recvmsg() if there's more reply data
+ for a particular call to be read. MSG_EOR will be set on the terminal
+ read for a call.
+
+ All data will be delivered with the following control message attached:
+
+ RXRPC_USER_CALL_ID - specifies the user ID for this call
+
+ If an abort or error occurred, this will be returned in the control data
+ buffer instead, and MSG_EOR will be flagged to indicate the end of that
+ call.
+
+
+====================
+EXAMPLE SERVER USAGE
+====================
+
+A server would be set up to accept operations in the following manner:
+
+ (1) An RxRPC socket is created by:
+
+ server = socket(AF_RXRPC, SOCK_DGRAM, PF_INET);
+
+ Where the third parameter indicates the address type of the transport
+ socket used - usually IPv4.
+
+ (2) Security is set up if desired by giving the socket a keyring with server
+ secret keys in it:
+
+ keyring = add_key("keyring", "AFSkeys", NULL, 0,
+ KEY_SPEC_PROCESS_KEYRING);
+
+ const char secret_key[8] = {
+ 0xa7, 0x83, 0x8a, 0xcb, 0xc7, 0x83, 0xec, 0x94 };
+ add_key("rxrpc_s", "52:2", secret_key, 8, keyring);
+
+ setsockopt(server, SOL_RXRPC, RXRPC_SECURITY_KEYRING, "AFSkeys", 7);
+
+ The keyring can be manipulated after it has been given to the socket. This
+ permits the server to add more keys, replace keys, etc. whilst it is live.
+
+ (2) A local address must then be bound:
+
+ struct sockaddr_rxrpc srx = {
+ .srx_family = AF_RXRPC,
+ .srx_service = VL_SERVICE_ID, /* RxRPC service ID */
+ .transport_type = SOCK_DGRAM, /* type of transport socket */
+ .transport.sin_family = AF_INET,
+ .transport.sin_port = htons(7000), /* AFS callback */
+ .transport.sin_address = 0, /* all local interfaces */
+ };
+ bind(server, &srx, sizeof(srx));
+
+ (3) The server is then set to listen out for incoming calls:
+
+ listen(server, 100);
+
+ (4) The kernel notifies the server of pending incoming connections by sending
+ it a message for each. This is received with recvmsg() on the server
+ socket. It has no data, and has a single dataless control message
+ attached:
+
+ RXRPC_NEW_CALL
+
+ The address that can be passed back by recvmsg() at this point should be
+ ignored since the call for which the message was posted may have gone by
+ the time it is accepted - in which case the first call still on the queue
+ will be accepted.
+
+ (5) The server then accepts the new call by issuing a sendmsg() with two
+ pieces of control data and no actual data:
+
+ RXRPC_ACCEPT - indicate connection acceptance
+ RXRPC_USER_CALL_ID - specify user ID for this call
+
+ (6) The first request data packet will then be posted to the server socket for
+ recvmsg() to pick up. At that point, the RxRPC address for the call can
+ be read from the address fields in the msghdr struct.
+
+ Subsequent request data will be posted to the server socket for recvmsg()
+ to collect as it arrives. All but the last piece of the request data will
+ be delivered with MSG_MORE flagged.
+
+ All data will be delivered with the following control message attached:
+
+ RXRPC_USER_CALL_ID - specifies the user ID for this call
+
+ (8) The reply data should then be posted to the server socket using a series
+ of sendmsg() calls, each with the following control messages attached:
+
+ RXRPC_USER_CALL_ID - specifies the user ID for this call
+
+ MSG_MORE should be set in msghdr::msg_flags on all but the last message
+ for a particular call.
+
+ (9) The final ACK from the client will be posted for retrieval by recvmsg()
+ when it is received. It will take the form of a dataless message with two
+ control messages attached:
+
+ RXRPC_USER_CALL_ID - specifies the user ID for this call
+ RXRPC_ACK - indicates final ACK (no data)
+
+ MSG_EOR will be flagged to indicate that this is the final message for
+ this call.
+
+(10) Up to the point the final packet of reply data is sent, the call can be
+ aborted by calling sendmsg() with a dataless message with the following
+ control messages attached:
+
+ RXRPC_USER_CALL_ID - specifies the user ID for this call
+ RXRPC_ABORT - indicates abort code (4 byte data)
+
+ Any packets waiting in the socket's receive queue will be discarded if
+ this is issued.
+
+Note that all the communications for a particular service take place through
+the one server socket, using control messages on sendmsg() and recvmsg() to
+determine the call affected.

+=========================
+AF_RXRPC KERNEL INTERFACE
+=========================
+
+The AF_RXRPC module also provides an interface for use by in-kernel utilities
+such as the AFS filesystem. This permits such a utility to:
+
+ (1) Use different keys directly on individual client calls on one socket
+ rather than having to open a whole slew of sockets, one for each key it
+ might want to use.
+
+ (2) Avoid having RxRPC call request_key() at the point of issue of a call or
+ opening of a socket. Instead the utility is responsible for requesting a
+ key at the appropriate point. AFS, for instance, would do this during VFS
+ operations such as open() or unlink(). The key is then handed through
+ when the call is initiated.
+
+ (3) Request the use of something other than GFP_KERNEL to allocate memory.
+
+ (4) Avoid the overhead of using the recvmsg() call. RxRPC messages can be
+ intercepted before they get put into the socket Rx queue and the socket
+ buffers manipulated directly.
+
+To use the RxRPC facility, a kernel utility must still open an AF_RXRPC socket,
+bind an addess as appropriate and listen if it's to be a server socket, but
+then it passes this to the kernel interface functions.
+
+The kernel interface functions are as follows:
+
+ (*) Begin a new client call.
+
+ struct rxrpc_call *
+ rxrpc_kernel_begin_call(struct socket *sock,
+ struct sockaddr_rxrpc *srx,
+ struct key *key,
+ unsigned long user_call_ID,
+ gfp_t gfp);
+
+ This allocates the infrastructure to make a new RxRPC call and assigns
+ call and connection numbers. The call will be made on the UDP port that
+ the socket is bound to. The call will go to the destination address of a
+ connected client socket unless an alternative is supplied (srx is
+ non-NULL).
+
+ If a key is supplied then this will be used to secure the call instead of
+ the key bound to the socket with the RXRPC_SECURITY_KEY sockopt. Calls
+ secured in this way will still share connections if at all possible.
+
+ The user_call_ID is equivalent to that supplied to sendmsg() in the
+ control data buffer. It is entirely feasible to use this to point to a
+ kernel data structure.
+
+ If this function is successful, an opaque reference to the RxRPC call is
+ returned. The caller now holds a reference on this and it must be
+ properly ended.
+
+ (*) End a client call.
+
+ void rxrpc_kernel_end_call(struct rxrpc_call *call);
+
+ This is used to end a previously begun call. The user_call_ID is expunged
+ from AF_RXRPC's knowledge and will not be seen again in association with
+ the specified call.
+
+ (*) Send data through a call.
+
+ int rxrpc_kernel_send_data(struct rxrpc_call *call, struct msghdr *msg,
+ size_t len);
+
+ This is used to supply either the request part of a client call or the
+ reply part of a server call. msg.msg_iovlen and msg.msg_iov specify the
+ data buffers to be used. msg_iov may not be NULL and must point
+ exclusively to in-kernel virtual addresses. msg.msg_flags may be given
+ MSG_MORE if there will be subsequent data sends for this call.
+
+ The msg must not specify a destination address, control data or any flags
+ other than MSG_MORE. len is the total amount of data to transmit.
+
+ (*) Abort a call.
+
+ void rxrpc_kernel_abort_call(struct rxrpc_call *call, u32 abort_code);
+
+ This is used to abort a call if it's still in an abortable state. The
+ abort code specified will be placed in the ABORT message sent.
+
+ (*) Intercept received RxRPC messages.
+
+ typedef void (*rxrpc_interceptor_t)(struct sock *sk,
+ unsigned long user_call_ID,
+ struct sk_buff *skb);
+
+ void
+ rxrpc_kernel_intercept_rx_messages(struct socket *sock,
+ rxrpc_interceptor_t interceptor);
+
+ This installs an interceptor function on the specified AF_RXRPC socket.
+ All messages that would otherwise wind up in the socket's Rx queue are
+ then diverted to this function. Note that care must be taken to process
+ the messages in the right order to maintain DATA message sequentiality.
+
+ The interceptor function itself is provided with the address of the socket
+ and handling the incoming message, the ID assigned by the kernel utility
+ to the call and the socket buffer containing the message.
+
+ The skb->mark field indicates the type of message:
+
+ MARK MEANING
+ =============================== =======================================
+ RXRPC_SKB_MARK_DATA Data message
+ RXRPC_SKB_MARK_FINAL_ACK Final ACK received for an incoming call
+ RXRPC_SKB_MARK_BUSY Client call rejected as server busy
+ RXRPC_SKB_MARK_REMOTE_ABORT Call aborted by peer
+ RXRPC_SKB_MARK_NET_ERROR Network error detected
+ RXRPC_SKB_MARK_LOCAL_ERROR Local error encountered
+ RXRPC_SKB_MARK_NEW_CALL New incoming call awaiting acceptance
+
+ The remote abort message can be probed with rxrpc_kernel_get_abort_code().
+ The two error messages can be probed with rxrpc_kernel_get_error_number().
+ A new call can be accepted with rxrpc_kernel_accept_call().
+
+ Data messages can have their contents extracted with the usual bunch of
+ socket buffer manipulation functions. A data message can be determined to
+ be the last one in a sequence with rxrpc_kernel_is_data_last(). When a
+ data message has been used up, rxrpc_kernel_data_delivered() should be
+ called on it..
+
+ Non-data messages should be handled to rxrpc_kernel_free_skb() to dispose
+ of. It is possible to get extra refs on all types of message for later
+ freeing, but this may pin the state of a call until the message is finally
+ freed.
+
+ (*) Accept an incoming call.
+
+ struct rxrpc_call *
+ rxrpc_kernel_accept_call(struct socket *sock,
+ unsigned long user_call_ID);
+
+ This is used to accept an incoming call and to assign it a call ID. This
+ function is similar to rxrpc_kernel_begin_call() and calls accepted must
+ be ended in the same way.
+
+ If this function is successful, an opaque reference to the RxRPC call is
+ returned. The caller now holds a reference on this and it must be
+ properly ended.
+
+ (*) Reject an incoming call.
+
+ int rxrpc_kernel_reject_call(struct socket *sock);
+
+ This is used to reject the first incoming call on the socket's queue with
+ a BUSY message. -ENODATA is returned if there were no incoming calls.
+ Other errors may be returned if the call had been aborted (-ECONNABORTED)
+ or had timed out (-ETIME).
+
+ (*) Record the delivery of a data message and free it.
+
+ void rxrpc_kernel_data_delivered(struct sk_buff *skb);
+
+ This is used to record a data message as having been delivered and to
+ update the ACK state for the call. The socket buffer will be freed.
+
+ (*) Free a message.
+
+ void rxrpc_kernel_free_skb(struct sk_buff *skb);
+
+ This is used to free a non-DATA socket buffer intercepted from an AF_RXRPC
+ socket.
+
+ (*) Determine if a data message is the last one on a call.
+
+ bool rxrpc_kernel_is_data_last(struct sk_buff *skb);
+
+ This is used to determine if a socket buffer holds the last data message
+ to be received for a call (true will be returned if it does, false
+ if not).
+
+ The data message will be part of the reply on a client call and the
+ request on an incoming call. In the latter case there will be more
+ messages, but in the former case there will not.
+
+ (*) Get the abort code from an abort message.
+
+ u32 rxrpc_kernel_get_abort_code(struct sk_buff *skb);
+
+ This is used to extract the abort code from a remote abort message.
+
+ (*) Get the error number from a local or network error message.
+
+ int rxrpc_kernel_get_error_number(struct sk_buff *skb);
+
+ This is used to extract the error number from a message indicating either
+ a local error occurred or a network error occurred.

+VII - Specifying interrupt information for devices
+===================================================
+
+The device tree represents the busses and devices of a hardware
+system in a form similar to the physical bus topology of the
+hardware.
+
+In addition, a logical 'interrupt tree' exists which represents the
+hierarchy and routing of interrupts in the hardware.
+
+The interrupt tree model is fully described in the
+document "Open Firmware Recommended Practice: Interrupt
+Mapping Version 0.9". The document is available at:
+<http://playground.sun.com/1275/practice>.
+
+1) interrupts property
+----------------------
+
+Devices that generate interrupts to a single interrupt controller
+should use the conventional OF representation described in the
+OF interrupt mapping documentation.
+
+Each device which generates interrupts must have an 'interrupt'
+property. The interrupt property value is an arbitrary number of
+of 'interrupt specifier' values which describe the interrupt or
+interrupts for the device.
+
+The encoding of an interrupt specifier is determined by the
+interrupt domain in which the device is located in the
+interrupt tree. The root of an interrupt domain specifies in
+its #interrupt-cells property the number of 32-bit cells
+required to encode an interrupt specifier. See the OF interrupt
+mapping documentation for a detailed description of domains.
+
+For example, the binding for the OpenPIC interrupt controller
+specifies an #interrupt-cells value of 2 to encode the interrupt
+number and level/sense information. All interrupt children in an
+OpenPIC interrupt domain use 2 cells per interrupt in their interrupts
+property.
+
+The PCI bus binding specifies a #interrupt-cell value of 1 to encode
+which interrupt pin (INTA,INTB,INTC,INTD) is used.
+
+2) interrupt-parent property
+----------------------------
+
+The interrupt-parent property is specified to define an explicit
+link between a device node and its interrupt parent in
+the interrupt tree. The value of interrupt-parent is the
+phandle of the parent node.
+
+If the interrupt-parent property is not defined for a node, it's
+interrupt parent is assumed to be an ancestor in the node's
+_device tree_ hierarchy.
+
+3) OpenPIC Interrupt Controllers
+--------------------------------
+
+OpenPIC interrupt controllers require 2 cells to encode
+interrupt information. The first cell defines the interrupt
+number. The second cell defines the sense and level
+information.
+
+Sense and level information should be encoded as follows:
+
+ 0 = low to high edge sensitive type enabled
+ 1 = active low level sensitive type enabled
+ 2 = active high level sensitive type enabled
+ 3 = high to low edge sensitive type enabled
+
+4) ISA Interrupt Controllers
+----------------------------
+
+ISA PIC interrupt controllers require 2 cells to encode
+interrupt information. The first cell defines the interrupt
+number. The second cell defines the sense and level
+information.
+
+ISA PIC interrupt controllers should adhere to the ISA PIC
+encodings listed below:
+
+ 0 = active low level sensitive type enabled
+ 1 = active high level sensitive type enabled
+ 2 = high to low edge sensitive type enabled
+ 3 = low to high edge sensitive type enabled
+

-crypto-API support for z990 Message Security Assist (MSA) instructions
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
-AUTHOR: Thomas Spatzier (tspat@de.ibm.com)
-
-
-1. Introduction crypto-API
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-See Documentation/crypto/api-intro.txt for an introduction/description of the
-kernel crypto API.
-According to api-intro.txt support for z990 crypto instructions has been added
-in the algorithm api layer of the crypto API. Several files containing z990
-optimized implementations of crypto algorithms are placed in the
-arch/s390/crypto directory.
-
-
-2. Probing for availability of MSA
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-It should be possible to use Kernels with the z990 crypto implementations both
-on machines with MSA available and on those without MSA (pre z990 or z990
-without MSA). Therefore a simple probing mechanism has been implemented:
-In the init function of each crypto module the availability of MSA and of the
-respective crypto algorithm in particular will be tested. If the algorithm is
-available the module will load and register its algorithm with the crypto API.
-
-If the respective crypto algorithm is not available, the init function will
-return -ENOSYS. In that case a fallback to the standard software implementation
-of the crypto algorithm must be taken ( -> the standard crypto modules are
-also built when compiling the kernel).
-
-
-3. Ensuring z990 crypto module preference
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-If z990 crypto instructions are available the optimized modules should be
-preferred instead of standard modules.
-
-3.1. compiled-in modules
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-For compiled-in modules it has to be ensured that the z990 modules are linked
-before the standard crypto modules. Then, on system startup the init functions
-of z990 crypto modules will be called first and query for availability of z990
-crypto instructions. If instruction is available, the z990 module will register
-its crypto algorithm implementation -> the load of the standard module will fail
-since the algorithm is already registered.
-If z990 crypto instruction is not available the load of the z990 module will
-fail -> the standard module will load and register its algorithm.
-
-3.2. dynamic modules
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-A system administrator has to take care of giving preference to z990 crypto
-modules. If MSA is available appropriate lines have to be added to
-/etc/modprobe.conf.
-
-Example: z990 crypto instruction for SHA1 algorithm is available
-
- add the following line to /etc/modprobe.conf (assuming the
- z990 crypto modules for SHA1 is called sha1_z990):
-
- alias sha1 sha1_z990
-
- -> when the sha1 algorithm is requested through the crypto API
- (which has a module autoloader) the z990 module will be loaded.
-
-TBD: a userspace module probing mechanism
- something like 'probe sha1 sha1_z990 sha1' in modprobe.conf
- -> try module sha1_z990, if it fails to load standard module sha1
- the 'probe' statement is currently not supported in modprobe.conf
-
-
-4. Currently implemented z990 crypto algorithms
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-The following crypto algorithms with z990 MSA support are currently implemented.
-The name of each algorithm under which it is registered in crypto API and the
-name of the respective module is given in square brackets.
-
-- SHA1 Digest Algorithm [sha1 -> sha1_z990]
-- DES Encrypt/Decrypt Algorithm (64bit key) [des -> des_z990]
-- Triple DES Encrypt/Decrypt Algorithm (128bit key) [des3_ede128 -> des_z990]
-- Triple DES Encrypt/Decrypt Algorithm (192bit key) [des3_ede -> des_z990]
-
-In order to load, for example, the sha1_z990 module when the sha1 algorithm is
-requested (see 3.2.) add 'alias sha1 sha1_z990' to /etc/modprobe.conf.

+s390 SCSI dump tool (zfcpdump)
+
+System z machines (z900 or higher) provide hardware support for creating system
+dumps on SCSI disks. The dump process is initiated by booting a dump tool, which
+has to create a dump of the current (probably crashed) Linux image. In order to
+not overwrite memory of the crashed Linux with data of the dump tool, the
+hardware saves some memory plus the register sets of the boot cpu before the
+dump tool is loaded. There exists an SCLP hardware interface to obtain the saved
+memory afterwards. Currently 32 MB are saved.
+
+This zfcpdump implementation consists of a Linux dump kernel together with
+a userspace dump tool, which are loaded together into the saved memory region
+below 32 MB. zfcpdump is installed on a SCSI disk using zipl (as contained in
+the s390-tools package) to make the device bootable. The operator of a Linux
+system can then trigger a SCSI dump by booting the SCSI disk, where zfcpdump
+resides on.
+
+The kernel part of zfcpdump is implemented as a debugfs file under "zcore/mem",
+which exports memory and registers of the crashed Linux in an s390
+standalone dump format. It can be used in the same way as e.g. /dev/mem. The
+dump format defines a 4K header followed by plain uncompressed memory. The
+register sets are stored in the prefix pages of the respective cpus. To build a
+dump enabled kernel with the zcore driver, the kernel config option
+CONFIG_ZFCPDUMP has to be set. When reading from "zcore/mem", the part of
+memory, which has been saved by hardware is read by the driver via the SCLP
+hardware interface. The second part is just copied from the non overwritten real
+memory.
+
+The userspace application of zfcpdump can reside e.g. in an intitramfs or an
+initrd. It reads from zcore/mem and writes the system dump to a file on a
+SCSI disk.
+
+To build a zfcpdump kernel use the following settings in your kernel
+configuration:
+ * CONFIG_ZFCPDUMP=y
+ * Enable ZFCP driver
+ * Enable SCSI driver
+ * Enable ext2 and ext3 filesystems
+ * Disable as many features as possible to keep the kernel small.
+ E.g. network support is not needed at all.
+
+To use the zfcpdump userspace application in an initramfs you have to do the
+following:
+
+ * Copy the zfcpdump executable somewhere into your Linux tree.
+ E.g. to "arch/s390/boot/zfcpdump. If you do not want to include
+ shared libraries, compile the tool with the "-static" gcc option.
+ * If you want to include e2fsck, add it to your source tree, too. The zfcpdump
+ application attempts to start /sbin/e2fsck from the ramdisk.
+ * Use an initramfs config file like the following:
+
+ dir /dev 755 0 0
+ nod /dev/console 644 0 0 c 5 1
+ nod /dev/null 644 0 0 c 1 3
+ nod /dev/sda1 644 0 0 b 8 1
+ nod /dev/sda2 644 0 0 b 8 2

+ dir /sbin 755 0 0
+
+ * Issue "make image" to build the zfcpdump image with initramfs.
+
+In a Linux distribution the zfcpdump enabled kernel image must be copied to
+/usr/share/zfcpdump/zfcpdump.image, where the s390 zipl tool is looking for the
+dump kernel when preparing a SCSI dump disk.
+
+If you use a ramdisk copy it to "/usr/share/zfcpdump/zfcpdump.rd".
+
+For more information on how to use zfcpdump refer to the s390 'Using the Dump
+Tools book', which is available from
+http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/linux/linux390.

Features
--------
-The driver creates the /proc/acpi/ibm directory. There is a file under
-that directory for each feature described below. Note that while the
-driver is still in the alpha stage, the exact proc file format and
-commands supported by the various features is guaranteed to change
-frequently.
+The driver exports two different interfaces to userspace, which can be
+used to access the features it provides. One is a legacy procfs-based
+interface, which will be removed at some time in the distant future.
+The other is a new sysfs-based interface which is not complete yet.
-Driver version -- /proc/acpi/ibm/driver
----------------------------------------
+The procfs interface creates the /proc/acpi/ibm directory. There is a
+file under that directory for each feature it supports. The procfs
+interface is mostly frozen, and will change very little if at all: it
+will not be extended to add any new functionality in the driver, instead
+all new functionality will be implemented on the sysfs interface.
+
+The sysfs interface tries to blend in the generic Linux sysfs subsystems
+and classes as much as possible. Since some of these subsystems are not
+yet ready or stabilized, it is expected that this interface will change,
+and any and all userspace programs must deal with it.
+
+
+Notes about the sysfs interface:
+
+Unlike what was done with the procfs interface, correctness when talking
+to the sysfs interfaces will be enforced, as will correctness in the
+thinkpad-acpi's implementation of sysfs interfaces.
+
+Also, any bugs in the thinkpad-acpi sysfs driver code or in the
+thinkpad-acpi's implementation of the sysfs interfaces will be fixed for
+maximum correctness, even if that means changing an interface in
+non-compatible ways. As these interfaces mature both in the kernel and
+in thinkpad-acpi, such changes should become quite rare.
+
+Applications interfacing to the thinkpad-acpi sysfs interfaces must
+follow all sysfs guidelines and correctly process all errors (the sysfs
+interface makes extensive use of errors). File descriptors and open /
+close operations to the sysfs inodes must also be properly implemented.
+
+The version of thinkpad-acpi's sysfs interface is exported by the driver
+as a driver attribute (see below).
+
+Sysfs driver attributes are on the driver's sysfs attribute space,
+for 2.6.20 this is /sys/bus/platform/drivers/thinkpad-acpi/.

+

+
+Any text format data consists of a stream of events, such as URB submission,
URB callback, submission error. Every event is a text line, which consists
of whitespace separated words. The number or position of words may depend
on the event type, but there is a set of words, common for all types.
Here is the list of words, from left to right:
+
- URB Tag. This is used to identify URBs is normally a kernel mode address
of the URB structure in hexadecimal.
+
- Timestamp in microseconds, a decimal number. The timestamp's resolution
depends on available clock, and so it can be much worse than a microsecond
(if the implementation uses jiffies, for example).
+
- Event Type. This type refers to the format of the event, not URB type.
Available types are: S - submission, C - callback, E - submission error.
-- "Pipe". The pipe concept is deprecated. This is a composite word, used to
- be derived from information in pipes. It consists of three fields, separated
- by colons: URB type and direction, Device address, Endpoint number.
+
+- "Address" word (formerly a "pipe"). It consists of four fields, separated by
+ colons: URB type and direction, Bus number, Device address, Endpoint number.
Type and direction are encoded with two bytes in the following manner:
Ci Co Control input and output
Zi Zo Isochronous input and output
Ii Io Interrupt input and output
Bi Bo Bulk input and output
- Device address and Endpoint number are 3-digit and 2-digit (respectively)
- decimal numbers, with leading zeroes.
-- URB Status. In most cases, this field contains a number, sometimes negative,
- which represents a "status" field of the URB. This field makes no sense for
- submissions, but is present anyway to help scripts with parsing. When an
- error occurs, the field contains the error code. In case of a submission of
- a Control packet, this field contains a Setup Tag instead of an error code.
- It is easy to tell whether the Setup Tag is present because it is never a
- number. Thus if scripts find a number in this field, they proceed to read
- Data Length. If they find something else, like a letter, they read the setup
- packet before reading the Data Length.
+ Bus number, Device address, and Endpoint are decimal numbers, but they may
+ have leading zeros, for the sake of human readers.
+
+- URB Status word. This is either a letter, or several numbers separated
+ by colons: URB status, interval, start frame, and error count. Unlike the
+ "address" word, all fields save the status are optional. Interval is printed
+ only for interrupt and isochronous URBs. Start frame is printed only for
+ isochronous URBs. Error count is printed only for isochronous callback

+ The status field is a decimal number, sometimes negative, which represents

+ivtv release notes
+==================
+
+This is a v4l2 device driver for the Conexant cx23415/6 MPEG encoder/decoder.
+The cx23415 can do both encoding and decoding, the cx23416 can only do MPEG
+encoding. Currently the only card featuring full decoding support is the
+Hauppauge PVR-350.
+
+NOTE: this driver requires the latest encoder firmware (version 2.06.039, size
+376836 bytes). Get the firmware from here:
+
+http://dl.ivtvdriver.org/ivtv/firmware/firmware.tar.gz
+
+NOTE: 'normal' TV applications do not work with this driver, you need
+an application that can handle MPEG input such as mplayer, xine, MythTV,
+etc.
+
+The primary goal of the IVTV project is to provide a "clean room" Linux
+Open Source driver implementation for video capture cards based on the
+iCompression iTVC15 or Conexant CX23415/CX23416 MPEG Codec.
+
+Features:
+ * Hardware mpeg2 capture of broadcast video (and sound) via the tuner or
+ S-Video/Composite and audio line-in.
+ * Hardware mpeg2 capture of FM radio where hardware support exists
+ * Supports NTSC, PAL, SECAM with stereo sound
+ * Supports SAP and bilingual transmissions.
+ * Supports raw VBI (closed captions and teletext).
+ * Supports sliced VBI (closed captions and teletext) and is able to insert
+ this into the captured MPEG stream.
+ * Supports raw YUV and PCM input.
+
+Additional features for the PVR-350 (CX23415 based):
+ * Provides hardware mpeg2 playback
+ * Provides comprehensive OSD (On Screen Display: ie. graphics overlaying the
+ video signal)
+ * Provides a framebuffer (allowing X applications to appear on the video
+ device) (this framebuffer is not yet part of the kernel. In the meantime it
+ is available from www.ivtvdriver.org).
+ * Supports raw YUV output.
+
+IMPORTANT: In case of problems first read this page:
+ http://www.ivtvdriver.org/index.php/Troubleshooting

+
+Devices
+=======
+
+A maximum of 12 ivtv boards are allowed at the moment.
+
+Cards that don't have a video output capability (i.e. non PVR350 cards)
+lack the vbi8, vbi16, video16 and video48 devices. They also do not
+support the framebuffer device /dev/fbx for OSD.
+
+The radio0 device may or may not be present, depending on whether the
+card has a radio tuner or not.
+
+Here is a list of the base v4l devices:
+crw-rw---- 1 root video 81, 0 Jun 19 22:22 /dev/video0
+crw-rw---- 1 root video 81, 16 Jun 19 22:22 /dev/video16

+crw-rw---- 1 root video 81, 48 Jun 19 22:22 /dev/video48

+crw-rw---- 1 root video 81, 232 Jun 19 22:22 /dev/vbi16
+
+Base devices
+============
+
+For every extra card you have the numbers increased by one. For example,
+/dev/video0 is listed as the 'base' encoding capture device so we have:
+
+ /dev/video0 is the encoding capture device for the first card (card 0)
+ /dev/video1 is the encoding capture device for the second card (card 1)
+ /dev/video2 is the encoding capture device for the third card (card 2)
+
+Note that if the first card doesn't have a feature (eg no decoder, so no
+video16, the second card will still use video17. The simple rule is 'add
+the card number to the base device number'. If you have other capture
+cards (e.g. WinTV PCI) that are detected first, then you have to tell
+the ivtv module about it so that it will start counting at 1 (or 2, or
+whatever). Otherwise the device numbers can get confusing. The ivtv
+'ivtv_first_minor' module option can be used for that.
+
+
+/dev/video0
+The encoding capture device(s).
+Read-only.
+
+Reading from this device gets you the MPEG1/2 program stream.
+Example:
+
+cat /dev/video0 > my.mpg (you need to hit ctrl-c to exit)
+
+
+/dev/video16
+The decoder output device(s)
+Write-only. Only present if the MPEG decoder (i.e. CX23415) exists.
+
+An mpeg2 stream sent to this device will appear on the selected video
+display, audio will appear on the line-out/audio out. It is only
+available for cards that support video out. Example:
+
+cat my.mpg >/dev/video16
+
+
+/dev/video24
+The raw audio capture device(s).
+Read-only
+
+The raw audio PCM stereo stream from the currently selected
+tuner or audio line-in. Reading from this device results in a raw
+(signed 16 bit Little Endian, 48000 Hz, stereo pcm) capture.
+This device only captures audio. This should be replaced by an ALSA
+device in the future.
+Note that there is no corresponding raw audio output device, this is
+not supported in the decoder firmware.
+
+
+/dev/video32
+The raw video capture device(s)
+Read-only
+
+The raw YUV video output from the current video input. The YUV format
+is non-standard (V4L2_PIX_FMT_HM12).
+
+Note that the YUV and PCM streams are not synchronized, so they are of
+limited use.
+
+
+/dev/video48
+The raw video display device(s)
+Write-only. Only present if the MPEG decoder (i.e. CX23415) exists.
+
+Writes a YUV stream to the decoder of the card.
+
+
+/dev/radio0
+The radio tuner device(s)
+Cannot be read or written.
+
+Used to enable the radio tuner and tune to a frequency. You cannot
+read or write audio streams with this device. Once you use this
+device to tune the radio, use /dev/video24 to read the raw pcm stream
+or /dev/video0 to get an mpeg2 stream with black video.
+
+
+/dev/vbi0
+The 'vertical blank interval' (Teletext, CC, WSS etc) capture device(s)
+Read-only
+
+Captures the raw (or sliced) video data sent during the Vertical Blank
+Interval. This data is used to encode teletext, closed captions, VPS,
+widescreen signalling, electronic program guide information, and other
+services.
+
+
+/dev/vbi8
+Processed vbi feedback device(s)
+Read-only. Only present if the MPEG decoder (i.e. CX23415) exists.
+
+The sliced VBI data embedded in an MPEG stream is reproduced on this
+device. So while playing back a recording on /dev/video16, you can
+read the embedded VBI data from /dev/vbi8.
+
+
+/dev/vbi16
+The vbi 'display' device(s)
+Write-only. Only present if the MPEG decoder (i.e. CX23415) exists.
+
+Can be used to send sliced VBI data to the video-out connector.

+Zoran 364xx based USB webcam module version 0.72
+site: http://royale.zerezo.com/zr364xx/
+mail: royale@zerezo.com
+
+introduction:
+This brings support under Linux for the Aiptek PocketDV 3300 in webcam mode.
+If you just want to get on your PC the pictures and movies on the camera, you should use the usb-storage module instead.
+The driver works with several other cameras in webcam mode (see the list below).
+Maybe this code can work for other JPEG/USB cams based on the Coach chips from Zoran?
+Possible chipsets are : ZR36430 (ZR36430BGC) and maybe ZR36431, ZR36440, ZR36442...
+You can try the experience changing the vendor/product ID values (look at the source code).
+You can get these values by looking at /var/log/messages when you plug your camera, or by typing : cat /proc/bus/usb/devices.
+If you manage to use your cam with this code, you can send me a mail (royale@zerezo.com) with the name of your cam and a patch if needed.
+This is a beta release of the driver.
+Since version 0.70, this driver is only compatible with V4L2 API and 2.6.x kernels.
+If you need V4L1 or 2.4x kernels support, please use an older version, but the code is not maintained anymore.
+Good luck!
+
+install:
+In order to use this driver, you must compile it with your kernel.
+Location: Device Drivers -> Multimedia devices -> Video For Linux -> Video Capture Adapters -> V4L USB devices

+ - debug : set to 1 to enable verbose debug messages
+ - mode : 0 = 320x240, 1 = 160x120, 2 = 640x480
+You can then use the camera with V4L2 compatible applications, for example Ekiga.
