Contact: linux-iio@vger.kernel.org
Description:
This attribute is used to enable the analog input multiplexer
auto-zeroing algorithm (the input multiplexer and the ADC
include an offset cancellation algorithm that cancels the offset
contribution of the ADC). When the offset cancellation algorithm
is enabled, ADC takes two conversions, one with the differential
input as VIN+/VIN-, one with VIN+/VIN- inverted. In this case the
conversion time is multiplied by two compared to the default
case where the algorithm is disabled. This technique allows the
cancellation of the ADC offset error and the achievement of
ultra-low offset without any digital calibration. The resulting
offset is the residue of the difference between the two
conversions, which is on the order of magnitude of the noise
floor. This offset is effectively canceled at every conversion,
so the residual offset error temperature drift is extremely low.
Write '1' to enable it, write '0' to disable it.
What: /sys/bus/iio/devices/iio:deviceX/auto_zeroing_ref_enable
KernelVersion: 6.4
Contact: linux-iio@vger.kernel.org
Description:
This attribute is used to enable the chopping algorithm for the
internal voltage reference buffer. This setting has no effect
when external voltage reference is selected.
Internal voltage reference buffer injects a certain quantity of
1/f noise into the system that can be modulated with the
incoming input signals and can limit the SNR performance at
higher Oversampling Ratio values (over 256). To overcome this
limitation, the buffer includes an auto-zeroing algorithm that
greatly reduces (cancels out) the 1/f noise and cancels the
offset value of the reference buffer. As a result, the SNR of
the system is not affected by this 1/f noise component of the
reference buffer, even at maximum oversampling ratio values.

Description:
On Lenovo platforms there is a limitation in the number of times an attribute can be

that can be modified to 48.
A solution for this is instead of the attribute being saved after every modification,
to allow a user to bulk set the attributes, and then trigger a final save. This allows
unlimited attributes.
Read the attribute to check what save mode is enabled (single or bulk).
E.g:
# cat /sys/class/firmware-attributes/thinklmi/attributes/save_settings
single
Write the attribute with 'bulk' to enable bulk save mode.
Write the attribute with 'single' to enable saving, after every attribute set.
The default setting is single mode.
E.g:
# echo bulk > /sys/class/firmware-attributes/thinklmi/attributes/save_settings
When in bulk mode write 'save' to trigger a save of all currently modified attributes.
Note, once a save has been triggered, in bulk mode, attributes can no longer be set and
will return a permissions error. This is to prevent users hitting the 48+ save limitation
(which requires entering the BIOS to clear the error condition)

Single MSI Mode
---------------
MultiMSI is not well supported on all systems; virtualized ones even less so
(circa 2023). Between hypervisors masking the PCIe MSI capability structure to
large memory requirements for vIOMMUs (required for supporting MultiMSI), it is
useful to be able to fall back to a single MSI when needed.
To support this fallback, we allow the case where only one MSI is able to be
allocated, and share that one MSI between MHI and the DBCs. The device detects
when only one MSI has been configured and directs the interrupts for the DBCs
to the interrupt normally used for MHI. Unfortunately this means that the
interrupt handlers for every DBC and MHI wake up for every interrupt that
arrives; however, the DBC threaded irq handlers only are started when work to be
done is detected (MHI will always start its threaded handler).
If the DBC is configured to force MSI interrupts, this can circumvent the
software IRQ storm mitigation mentioned above. Since the MSI is shared it is
never disabled, allowing each new entry to the FIFO to trigger a new interrupt.

Count HugeTLB memory usage towards the cgroup's overall
memory usage for the memory controller (for the purpose of

behavior that could regress existing setups, so it must be
explicitly opted in with this mount option.
A few caveats to keep in mind:
* There is no HugeTLB pool management involved in the memory
controller. The pre-allocated pool does not belong to anyone.
Specifically, when a new HugeTLB folio is allocated to
the pool, it is not accounted for from the perspective of the
memory controller. It is only charged to a cgroup when it is
actually used (for e.g at page fault time). Host memory
overcommit management has to consider this when configuring
hard limits. In general, HugeTLB pool management should be
done via other mechanisms (such as the HugeTLB controller).
* Failure to charge a HugeTLB folio to the memory controller
results in SIGBUS. This could happen even if the HugeTLB pool
still has pages available (but the cgroup limit is hit and
reclaim attempt fails).
* Charging HugeTLB memory towards the memory controller affects
memory protection and reclaim dynamics. Any userspace tuning
(of low, min limits for e.g) needs to take this into account.

========== =====================================
The root cgroup is always a partition root and its state
cannot be changed. All other non-root cgroups start out as
"member".
A cpuset partition is a collection of cpuset-enabled cgroups with
a partition root at the top of the hierarchy and its descendants
except those that are separate partition roots themselves and
their descendants. A partition has exclusive access to the
set of exclusive CPUs allocated to it. Other cgroups outside
of that partition cannot use any CPUs in that set.
There are two types of partitions - local and remote. A local
partition is one whose parent cgroup is also a valid partition
root. A remote partition is one whose parent cgroup is not a
valid partition root itself. Writing to "cpuset.cpus.exclusive"
is optional for the creation of a local partition as its
"cpuset.cpus.exclusive" file will assume an implicit value that
is the same as "cpuset.cpus" if it is not set. Writing the
proper "cpuset.cpus.exclusive" values down the cgroup hierarchy
before the target partition root is mandatory for the creation
of a remote partition.
Currently, a remote partition cannot be created under a local
partition. All the ancestors of a remote partition root except
the root cgroup cannot be a partition root.
The root cgroup is always a partition root and its state cannot

Mapping of the incoming bits in the signal to the colour bits of the pixels.
| 0 - OLDI/JEIDA
| 1 - SPWG/VESA (default)
**link_status** (R):
Video link status. If the link is locked, chips are properly connected and
communicating at the same speed and protocol. The link can be locked without
an active video stream.
A value of 0 is equivalent to the V4L2_IN_ST_NO_SYNC flag of the V4L2
VIDIOC_ENUMINPUT status bits.
| 0 - unlocked
| 1 - locked
**stream_status** (R):
Video stream status. A stream is detected if the link is locked, the input
pixel clock is running and the DE signal is moving.
A value of 0 is equivalent to the V4L2_IN_ST_NO_SIGNAL flag of the V4L2
VIDIOC_ENUMINPUT status bits.
| 0 - not detected

The value is identical to what VIDIOC_QUERY_DV_TIMINGS returns in the height
field of the v4l2_bt_timings struct.
**vsync_status** (R):
The type of VSYNC pulses as detected by the video format detector.
The value is equivalent to the flags returned by VIDIOC_QUERY_DV_TIMINGS in
the polarities field of the v4l2_bt_timings struct.
| 0 - active low
| 1 - active high

**vsync_gap_length** (RW):
If the incoming video signal does not contain synchronization VSYNC and
HSYNC pulses, these must be generated internally in the FPGA to achieve
the correct frame ordering. This value indicates, how many "empty" pixels
(pixels with deasserted Data Enable signal) are necessary to generate the
internal VSYNC pulse.
**hsync_gap_length** (RW):
If the incoming video signal does not contain synchronization VSYNC and
HSYNC pulses, these must be generated internally in the FPGA to achieve
the correct frame ordering. This value indicates, how many "empty" pixels
(pixels with deasserted Data Enable signal) are necessary to generate the
internal HSYNC pulse. The value must be greater than 1 and smaller than
vsync_gap_length.
**pclk_frequency** (R):

Number of PCLK pulses between deassertion of the HSYNC signal and the first
valid pixel in the video line (marked by DE=1).
The value is identical to what VIDIOC_QUERY_DV_TIMINGS returns in
the hbackporch field of the v4l2_bt_timings struct.
**hfront_porch** (R):

Common FPDL3/GMSL output parameters
===================================
**output_id** (R):
Output number ID, zero based.
**video_source** (RW):
Output video source. If set to 0 or 1, the source is the corresponding card
input and the v4l2 output devices are disabled. If set to 2 or 3, the source
is the corresponding v4l2 video output device. The default is
the corresponding v4l2 output, i.e. 2 for OUT1 and 3 for OUT2.
| 0 - input 0
| 1 - input 1
| 2 - v4l2 output 0
| 3 - v4l2 output 1
*Note: This parameter can not be changed while ANY of the input/output v4l2
devices is open.*
**display_width** (RW):
Display width. There is no autodetection of the connected display, so the
proper value must be set before the start of streaming. The default width
is 1280.
*Note: This parameter can not be changed while the output v4l2 device is
open.*
**display_height** (RW):
Display height. There is no autodetection of the connected display, so the
proper value must be set before the start of streaming. The default height
is 640.
*Note: This parameter can not be changed while the output v4l2 device is
open.*
**frame_rate** (RW):
Output video frame rate in frames per second. The default frame rate is
60Hz.
**hsync_polarity** (RW):
HSYNC signal polarity.
| 0 - active low (default)
| 1 - active high
**vsync_polarity** (RW):
VSYNC signal polarity.
| 0 - active low (default)
| 1 - active high
**de_polarity** (RW):
DE signal polarity.
| 0 - active low
| 1 - active high (default)
**pclk_frequency** (RW):
Output pixel clock frequency. Allowed values are between 25000-190000(kHz)
and there is a non-linear stepping between two consecutive allowed
frequencies. The driver finds the nearest allowed frequency to the given
value and sets it. When reading this property, you get the exact
frequency set by the driver. The default frequency is 70000kHz.
*Note: This parameter can not be changed while the output v4l2 device is
open.*
**hsync_width** (RW):
Width of the HSYNC signal in pixels. The default value is 16.
**vsync_width** (RW):
Width of the VSYNC signal in video lines. The default value is 2.
**hback_porch** (RW):
Number of PCLK pulses between deassertion of the HSYNC signal and the first
valid pixel in the video line (marked by DE=1). The default value is 32.
**hfront_porch** (RW):
Number of PCLK pulses between the end of the last valid pixel in the video
line (marked by DE=1) and assertion of the HSYNC signal. The default value
is 32.
**vback_porch** (RW):
Number of video lines between deassertion of the VSYNC signal and the video
line with the first valid pixel (marked by DE=1). The default value is 2.
**vfront_porch** (RW):
Number of video lines between the end of the last valid pixel line (marked
by DE=1) and assertion of the VSYNC signal. The default value is 2.

==============================
**gmsl_mode** (RW):
GMSL speed mode.
| 0 - 12Gb/s (default)
| 1 - 6Gb/s
| 2 - 3Gb/s
| 3 - 1.5Gb/s
**gmsl_stream_id** (RW):
The GMSL multi-stream contains up to four video streams. This parameter
selects which stream is captured by the video input. The value is the
zero-based index of the stream. The default stream id is 0.
*Note: This parameter can not be changed while the input v4l2 device is
open.*
**gmsl_fec** (RW):
GMSL Forward Error Correction (FEC).
| 0 - disabled

====================
mgb4 mtd partitions
====================
The mgb4 driver creates a MTD device with two partitions:
- mgb4-fw.X - FPGA firmware.
- mgb4-data.X - Factory settings, e.g. card serial number.
The *mgb4-fw* partition is writable and is used for FW updates, *mgb4-data* is
read-only. The *X* attached to the partition name represents the card number.
Depending on the CONFIG_MTD_PARTITIONED_MASTER kernel configuration, you may
also have a third partition named *mgb4-flash* available in the system. This
partition represents the whole, unpartitioned, card's FLASH memory and one should
not fiddle with it...
====================
mgb4 iio (triggers)
====================
The mgb4 driver creates an Industrial I/O (IIO) device that provides trigger and
signal level status capability. The following scan elements are available:
**activity**:
The trigger levels and pending status.
| bit 1 - trigger 1 pending
| bit 2 - trigger 2 pending
| bit 5 - trigger 1 level
| bit 6 - trigger 2 level
**timestamp**:
The trigger event timestamp.
The iio device can operate either in "raw" mode where you can fetch the signal
levels (activity bits 5 and 6) using sysfs access or in triggered buffer mode.
In the triggered buffer mode you can follow the signal level changes (activity
bits 1 and 2) using the iio device in /dev. If you enable the timestamps, you
will also get the exact trigger event time that can be matched to a video frame
(every mgb4 video frame has a timestamp with the same clock source).
*Note: although the activity sample always contains all the status bits, it makes
no sense to get the pending bits in raw mode or the level bits in the triggered
buffer mode - the values do not represent valid data in such case.*

Tracepoints for Monitoring Results
==================================
Users can get the monitoring results via the :ref:`tried_regions
<sysfs_schemes_tried_regions>`. The interface is useful for getting a
snapshot, but it could be inefficient for fully recording all the monitoring
results. For the purpose, two trace points, namely ``damon:damon_aggregated``
and ``damon:damos_before_apply``, are provided. ``damon:damon_aggregated``
provides the whole monitoring results, while ``damon:damos_before_apply``
provides the monitoring results for regions that each DAMON-based Operation
Scheme (:ref:`DAMOS <damon_design_damos>`) is gonna be applied. Hence,
``damon:damos_before_apply`` is more useful for recording internal behavior of

While the monitoring is turned on, you could record the tracepoint events and
show results using tracepoint supporting tools like ``perf``. For example::
# echo on > monitor_on
# perf record -e damon:damon_aggregated &
# sleep 5
# kill 9 $(pidof perf)
# echo off > monitor_on
# perf script
kdamond.0 46568 [027] 79357.842179: damon:damon_aggregated: target_id=0 nr_regions=11 122509119488-135708762112: 0 864
[...]
Each line of the perf script output represents each monitoring region. The
first five fields are as usual other tracepoint outputs. The sixth field
(``target_id=X``) shows the ide of the monitoring target of the region. The
seventh field (``nr_regions=X``) shows the total number of monitoring regions
for the target. The eighth field (``X-Y:``) shows the start (``X``) and end
(``Y``) addresses of the region in bytes. The ninth field (``X``) shows the
``nr_accesses`` of the region (refer to
:ref:`design <damon_design_region_based_sampling>` for more details of the

(refer to :ref:`design <damon_design_age_tracking>` for more details of the
counter).

flags unconditionally.
Pagemap Scan IOCTL
==================
The ``PAGEMAP_SCAN`` IOCTL on the pagemap file can be used to get or optionally
clear the info about page table entries. The following operations are supported
in this IOCTL:
- Scan the address range and get the memory ranges matching the provided criteria.
This is performed when the output buffer is specified.
- Write-protect the pages. The ``PM_SCAN_WP_MATCHING`` is used to write-protect
the pages of interest. The ``PM_SCAN_CHECK_WPASYNC`` aborts the operation if
non-Async Write Protected pages are found. The ``PM_SCAN_WP_MATCHING`` can be
used with or without ``PM_SCAN_CHECK_WPASYNC``.
- Both of those operations can be combined into one atomic operation where we can
get and write protect the pages as well.
Following flags about pages are currently supported:
- ``PAGE_IS_WPALLOWED`` - Page has async-write-protection enabled
- ``PAGE_IS_WRITTEN`` - Page has been written to from the time it was write protected
- ``PAGE_IS_FILE`` - Page is file backed
- ``PAGE_IS_PRESENT`` - Page is present in the memory
- ``PAGE_IS_SWAPPED`` - Page is in swapped
- ``PAGE_IS_PFNZERO`` - Page has zero PFN
- ``PAGE_IS_HUGE`` - Page is THP or Hugetlb backed
The ``struct pm_scan_arg`` is used as the argument of the IOCTL.
1. The size of the ``struct pm_scan_arg`` must be specified in the ``size``
field. This field will be helpful in recognizing the structure if extensions
are done later.
2. The flags can be specified in the ``flags`` field. The ``PM_SCAN_WP_MATCHING``
and ``PM_SCAN_CHECK_WPASYNC`` are the only added flags at this time. The get
operation is optionally performed depending upon if the output buffer is
provided or not.
3. The range is specified through ``start`` and ``end``.
4. The walk can abort before visiting the complete range such as the user buffer
can get full etc. The walk ending address is specified in``end_walk``.
5. The output buffer of ``struct page_region`` array and size is specified in
``vec`` and ``vec_len``.
6. The optional maximum requested pages are specified in the ``max_pages``.
7. The masks are specified in ``category_mask``, ``category_anyof_mask``,
``category_inverted`` and ``return_mask``.
Find pages which have been written and WP them as well::
struct pm_scan_arg arg = {
.size = sizeof(arg),

.category_anyof_mask = PAGE_IS_PRESENT | PAGE_IS_HUGE,
.return_mask = PAGE_IS_WRITTEN | PAGE_IS_SWAPPED |
PAGE_IS_PRESENT | PAGE_IS_HUGE,
};
The ``PAGE_IS_WRITTEN`` flag can be considered as a better-performing alternative
of soft-dirty flag. It doesn't get affected by VMA merging of the kernel and hence
the user can find the true soft-dirty pages in case of normal pages. (There may
still be extra dirty pages reported for THP or Hugetlb pages.)
"PAGE_IS_WRITTEN" category is used with uffd write protect-enabled ranges to
implement memory dirty tracking in userspace:
1. The userfaultfd file descriptor is created with ``userfaultfd`` syscall.
2. The ``UFFD_FEATURE_WP_UNPOPULATED`` and ``UFFD_FEATURE_WP_ASYNC`` features
are set by ``UFFDIO_API`` IOCTL.
3. The memory range is registered with ``UFFDIO_REGISTER_MODE_WP`` mode
through ``UFFDIO_REGISTER`` IOCTL.
4. Then any part of the registered memory or the whole memory region must
be write protected using ``PAGEMAP_SCAN`` IOCTL with flag ``PM_SCAN_WP_MATCHING``
or the ``UFFDIO_WRITEPROTECT`` IOCTL can be used. Both of these perform the
same operation. The former is better in terms of performance.
5. Now the ``PAGEMAP_SCAN`` IOCTL can be used to either just find pages which

support a mode flag (``UFFDIO_COPY_MODE_WP`` or ``UFFDIO_CONTINUE_MODE_WP``
respectively) to configure the mapping this way.
If the userfaultfd context has ``UFFD_FEATURE_WP_ASYNC`` feature bit set,
any vma registered with write-protection will work in async mode rather
than the default sync mode.
In async mode, there will be no message generated when a write operation
happens, meanwhile the write-protection will be resolved automatically by
the kernel. It can be seen as a more accurate version of soft-dirty
tracking and it can be different in a few ways:
- The dirty result will not be affected by vma changes (e.g. vma
merging) because the dirty is only tracked by the pte.
- It supports range operations by default, so one can enable tracking on
any range of memory as long as page aligned.
- Dirty information will not get lost if the pte was zapped due to
various reasons (e.g. during split of a shmem transparent huge page).
- Due to a reverted meaning of soft-dirty (page clean when uffd-wp bit
set; dirty when uffd-wp bit cleared), it has different semantics on
some of the memory operations. For example: ``MADV_DONTNEED`` on
anonymous (or ``MADV_REMOVE`` on a file mapping) will be treated as
dirtying of memory by dropping uffd-wp bit during the procedure.
The user app can collect the "written/dirty" status by looking up the
uffd-wp bit for the pages being interested in /proc/pagemap.
The page will not be under track of uffd-wp async mode until the page is
explicitly write-protected by ``ioctl(UFFDIO_WRITEPROTECT)`` with the mode
flag ``UFFDIO_WRITEPROTECT_MODE_WP`` set. Trying to resolve a page fault
that was tracked by async mode userfaultfd-wp is invalid.
When userfaultfd-wp async mode is used alone, it can be applied to all
kinds of memory.

Ampere SoC Performance Monitoring Unit (PMU)
============================================
Ampere SoC PMU is a generic PMU IP that follows Arm CoreSight PMU architecture.
Therefore, the driver is implemented as a submodule of arm_cspmu driver. At the
first phase it's used for counting MCU events on AmpereOne.
MCU PMU events
--------------
The PMU driver supports setting filters for "rank", "bank", and "threshold".
Note, that the filters are per PMU instance rather than per event.
Example for perf tool use::
/ # perf list ampere
ampere_mcu_pmu_0/act_sent/ [Kernel PMU event]
<...>
ampere_mcu_pmu_1/rd_sent/ [Kernel PMU event]
<...>

==================================
Memory Attribute Aliasing on IA-64
==================================
Bjorn Helgaas <bjorn.helgaas@hp.com>
May 4, 2006
Memory Attributes
=================
Itanium supports several attributes for virtual memory references.
The attribute is part of the virtual translation, i.e., it is
contained in the TLB entry. The ones of most interest to the Linux
kernel are:
== ======================
WB Write-back (cacheable)
UC Uncacheable
WC Write-coalescing
== ======================
System memory typically uses the WB attribute. The UC attribute is
used for memory-mapped I/O devices. The WC attribute is uncacheable
like UC is, but writes may be delayed and combined to increase
performance for things like frame buffers.
The Itanium architecture requires that we avoid accessing the same
page with both a cacheable mapping and an uncacheable mapping[1].
The design of the chipset determines which attributes are supported
on which regions of the address space. For example, some chipsets
support either WB or UC access to main memory, while others support
only WB access.
Memory Map
==========
Platform firmware describes the physical memory map and the
supported attributes for each region. At boot-time, the kernel uses
the EFI GetMemoryMap() interface. ACPI can also describe memory
devices and the attributes they support, but Linux/ia64 currently
doesn't use this information.
The kernel uses the efi_memmap table returned from GetMemoryMap() to
learn the attributes supported by each region of physical address
space. Unfortunately, this table does not completely describe the
address space because some machines omit some or all of the MMIO
regions from the map.
The kernel maintains another table, kern_memmap, which describes the
memory Linux is actually using and the attribute for each region.
This contains only system memory; it does not contain MMIO space.
The kern_memmap table typically contains only a subset of the system
memory described by the efi_memmap. Linux/ia64 can't use all memory
in the system because of constraints imposed by the identity mapping
scheme.
The efi_memmap table is preserved unmodified because the original
boot-time information is required for kexec.
Kernel Identity Mappings
========================
Linux/ia64 identity mappings are done with large pages, currently
either 16MB or 64MB, referred to as "granules." Cacheable mappings
are speculative[2], so the processor can read any location in the
page at any time, independent of the programmer's intentions. This
means that to avoid attribute aliasing, Linux can create a cacheable
identity mapping only when the entire granule supports cacheable
access.
Therefore, kern_memmap contains only full granule-sized regions that
can referenced safely by an identity mapping.
Uncacheable mappings are not speculative, so the processor will
generate UC accesses only to locations explicitly referenced by
software. This allows UC identity mappings to cover granules that
are only partially populated, or populated with a combination of UC
and WB regions.
User Mappings
=============
User mappings are typically done with 16K or 64K pages. The smaller
page size allows more flexibility because only 16K or 64K has to be
homogeneous with respect to memory attributes.
Potential Attribute Aliasing Cases
==================================
There are several ways the kernel creates new mappings:
mmap of /dev/mem
----------------
This uses remap_pfn_range(), which creates user mappings. These
mappings may be either WB or UC. If the region being mapped
happens to be in kern_memmap, meaning that it may also be mapped
by a kernel identity mapping, the user mapping must use the same
attribute as the kernel mapping.
If the region is not in kern_memmap, the user mapping should use
an attribute reported as being supported in the EFI memory map.
Since the EFI memory map does not describe MMIO on some
machines, this should use an uncacheable mapping as a fallback.
mmap of /sys/class/pci_bus/.../legacy_mem
-----------------------------------------
This is very similar to mmap of /dev/mem, except that legacy_mem
only allows mmap of the one megabyte "legacy MMIO" area for a
specific PCI bus. Typically this is the first megabyte of
physical address space, but it may be different on machines with
several VGA devices.
"X" uses this to access VGA frame buffers. Using legacy_mem
rather than /dev/mem allows multiple instances of X to talk to
different VGA cards.
The /dev/mem mmap constraints apply.
mmap of /proc/bus/pci/.../??.?
------------------------------
This is an MMIO mmap of PCI functions, which additionally may or
may not be requested as using the WC attribute.
If WC is requested, and the region in kern_memmap is either WC
or UC, and the EFI memory map designates the region as WC, then
the WC mapping is allowed.
Otherwise, the user mapping must use the same attribute as the
kernel mapping.
read/write of /dev/mem
----------------------
This uses copy_from_user(), which implicitly uses a kernel
identity mapping. This is obviously safe for things in
kern_memmap.
There may be corner cases of things that are not in kern_memmap,
but could be accessed this way. For example, registers in MMIO
space are not in kern_memmap, but could be accessed with a UC
mapping. This would not cause attribute aliasing. But
registers typically can be accessed only with four-byte or
eight-byte accesses, and the copy_from_user() path doesn't allow
any control over the access size, so this would be dangerous.
ioremap()
---------
This returns a mapping for use inside the kernel.
If the region is in kern_memmap, we should use the attribute
specified there.
If the EFI memory map reports that the entire granule supports
WB, we should use that (granules that are partially reserved
or occupied by firmware do not appear in kern_memmap).
If the granule contains non-WB memory, but we can cover the
region safely with kernel page table mappings, we can use
ioremap_page_range() as most other architectures do.
Failing all of the above, we have to fall back to a UC mapping.
Past Problem Cases
==================
mmap of various MMIO regions from /dev/mem by "X" on Intel platforms
--------------------------------------------------------------------
The EFI memory map may not report these MMIO regions.
These must be allowed so that X will work. This means that
when the EFI memory map is incomplete, every /dev/mem mmap must
succeed. It may create either WB or UC user mappings, depending
on whether the region is in kern_memmap or the EFI memory map.
mmap of 0x0-0x9FFFF /dev/mem by "hwinfo" on HP sx1000 with VGA enabled
----------------------------------------------------------------------
The EFI memory map reports the following attributes:
=============== ======= ==================
0x00000-0x9FFFF WB only
0xA0000-0xBFFFF UC only (VGA frame buffer)
0xC0000-0xFFFFF WB only
=============== ======= ==================
This mmap is done with user pages, not kernel identity mappings,
so it is safe to use WB mappings.
The kernel VGA driver may ioremap the VGA frame buffer at 0xA0000,
which uses a granule-sized UC mapping. This granule will cover some
WB-only memory, but since UC is non-speculative, the processor will
never generate an uncacheable reference to the WB-only areas unless
the driver explicitly touches them.
mmap of 0x0-0xFFFFF legacy_mem by "X"
-------------------------------------
If the EFI memory map reports that the entire range supports the
same attributes, we can allow the mmap (and we will prefer WB if
supported, as is the case with HP sx[12]000 machines with VGA
disabled).
If EFI reports the range as partly WB and partly UC (as on sx[12]000
machines with VGA enabled), we must fail the mmap because there's no
safe attribute to use.
If EFI reports some of the range but not all (as on Intel firmware
that doesn't report the VGA frame buffer at all), we should fail the
mmap and force the user to map just the specific region of interest.
mmap of 0xA0000-0xBFFFF legacy_mem by "X" on HP sx1000 with VGA disabled
------------------------------------------------------------------------
The EFI memory map reports the following attributes::
0x00000-0xFFFFF WB only (no VGA MMIO hole)
This is a special case of the previous case, and the mmap should
fail for the same reason as above.
read of /sys/devices/.../rom
----------------------------
For VGA devices, this may cause an ioremap() of 0xC0000. This
used to be done with a UC mapping, because the VGA frame buffer
at 0xA0000 prevents use of a WB granule. The UC mapping causes
an MCA on HP sx[12]000 chipsets.
We should use WB page table mappings to avoid covering the VGA
frame buffer.

EFI Real Time Clock driver
==========================
S. Eranian <eranian@hpl.hp.com>
March 2000
1. Introduction
===============
This document describes the efirtc.c driver has provided for
the IA-64 platform.
The purpose of this driver is to supply an API for kernel and user applications
to get access to the Time Service offered by EFI version 0.92.
EFI provides 4 calls one can make once the OS is booted: GetTime(),
SetTime(), GetWakeupTime(), SetWakeupTime() which are all supported by this
driver. We describe those calls as well the design of the driver in the
following sections.
2. Design Decisions
===================
The original ideas was to provide a very simple driver to get access to,
at first, the time of day service. This is required in order to access, in a
portable way, the CMOS clock. A program like /sbin/hwclock uses such a clock
to initialize the system view of the time during boot.
Because we wanted to minimize the impact on existing user-level apps using
the CMOS clock, we decided to expose an API that was very similar to the one
used today with the legacy RTC driver (driver/char/rtc.c). However, because
EFI provides a simpler services, not all ioctl() are available. Also
new ioctl()s have been introduced for things that EFI provides but not the
legacy.
EFI uses a slightly different way of representing the time, noticeably
the reference date is different. Year is the using the full 4-digit format.
The Epoch is January 1st 1998. For backward compatibility reasons we don't
expose this new way of representing time. Instead we use something very
similar to the struct tm, i.e. struct rtc_time, as used by hwclock.
One of the reasons for doing it this way is to allow for EFI to still evolve
without necessarily impacting any of the user applications. The decoupling
enables flexibility and permits writing wrapper code is ncase things change.
The driver exposes two interfaces, one via the device file and a set of
ioctl()s. The other is read-only via the /proc filesystem.
As of today we don't offer a /proc/sys interface.
To allow for a uniform interface between the legacy RTC and EFI time service,
we have created the include/linux/rtc.h header file to contain only the
"public" API of the two drivers. The specifics of the legacy RTC are still
in include/linux/mc146818rtc.h.
3. Time of day service
======================
The part of the driver gives access to the time of day service of EFI.
Two ioctl()s, compatible with the legacy RTC calls:
Read the CMOS clock::
ioctl(d, RTC_RD_TIME, &rtc);
Write the CMOS clock::
ioctl(d, RTC_SET_TIME, &rtc);
The rtc is a pointer to a data structure defined in rtc.h which is close
to a struct tm::
struct rtc_time {
int tm_sec;
int tm_min;
int tm_hour;
int tm_mday;
int tm_mon;
int tm_year;
int tm_wday;
int tm_yday;
int tm_isdst;
};
The driver takes care of converting back an forth between the EFI time and
this format.
Those two ioctl()s can be exercised with the hwclock command:
For reading::
# /sbin/hwclock --show
Mon Mar 6 15:32:32 2000 -0.910248 seconds
For setting::
# /sbin/hwclock --systohc
Root privileges are required to be able to set the time of day.
4. Wakeup Alarm service
=======================
EFI provides an API by which one can program when a machine should wakeup,
i.e. reboot. This is very different from the alarm provided by the legacy
RTC which is some kind of interval timer alarm. For this reason we don't use
the same ioctl()s to get access to the service. Instead we have
introduced 2 news ioctl()s to the interface of an RTC.
We have added 2 new ioctl()s that are specific to the EFI driver:
Read the current state of the alarm::
ioctl(d, RTC_WKALM_RD, &wkt)
Set the alarm or change its status::
ioctl(d, RTC_WKALM_SET, &wkt)
The wkt structure encapsulates a struct rtc_time + 2 extra fields to get
status information::
struct rtc_wkalrm {
unsigned char enabled; /* =1 if alarm is enabled */
unsigned char pending; /* =1 if alarm is pending */
struct rtc_time time;
}
As of today, none of the existing user-level apps supports this feature.
However writing such a program should be hard by simply using those two
ioctl().
Root privileges are required to be able to set the alarm.

"fsys-mode". To recap, the normal states of execution are:
- kernel mode:
Both the register stack and the memory stack have been
switched over to kernel memory. The user-level state is saved
in a pt-regs structure at the top of the kernel memory stack.
- user mode:
Both the register stack and the kernel stack are in
user memory. The user-level state is contained in the
CPU registers.
- bank 0 interruption-handling mode:
This is the non-interruptible state which all
interruption-handlers start execution in. The user-level
state remains in the CPU registers and some kernel state may
be stored in bank 0 of registers r16-r31.
In contrast, fsys-mode has the following special properties:
- execution is at privilege level 0 (most-privileged)
- CPU registers may contain a mixture of user-level and kernel-level
state (it is the responsibility of the kernel to ensure that no
security-sensitive kernel-level state is leaked back to
user-level)
- execution is interruptible and preemptible (an fsys-mode handler
can disable interrupts and avoid all other interruption-sources
to avoid preemption)
- neither the memory-stack nor the register-stack can be trusted while
in fsys-mode (they point to the user-level stacks, which may
be invalid, or completely bogus addresses)
In summary, fsys-mode is much more similar to running in user-mode
than it is to running in kernel-mode. Of course, given that the
privilege level is at level 0, this means that fsys-mode requires some
care (see below).
How to tell fsys-mode
=====================
Linux operates in fsys-mode when (a) the privilege level is 0 (most
privileged) and (b) the stacks have NOT been switched to kernel memory
yet. For convenience, the header file <asm-ia64/ptrace.h> provides
three macros::
user_mode(regs)
user_stack(task,regs)
fsys_mode(task,regs)
The "regs" argument is a pointer to a pt_regs structure. The "task"
argument is a pointer to the task structure to which the "regs"
pointer belongs to. user_mode() returns TRUE if the CPU state pointed
to by "regs" was executing in user mode (privilege level 3).
user_stack() returns TRUE if the state pointed to by "regs" was
executing on the user-level stack(s). Finally, fsys_mode() returns
TRUE if the CPU state pointed to by "regs" was executing in fsys-mode.
The fsys_mode() macro is equivalent to the expression::
!user_mode(regs) && user_stack(task,regs)
How to write an fsyscall handler
================================
The file arch/ia64/kernel/fsys.S contains a table of fsyscall-handlers
(fsyscall_table). This table contains one entry for each system call.
By default, a system call is handled by fsys_fallback_syscall(). This
routine takes care of entering (full) kernel mode and calling the
normal Linux system call handler. For performance-critical system
calls, it is possible to write a hand-tuned fsyscall_handler. For
example, fsys.S contains fsys_getpid(), which is a hand-tuned version
of the getpid() system call.
The entry and exit-state of an fsyscall handler is as follows:
Machine state on entry to fsyscall handler
------------------------------------------
========= ===============================================================
r10 0
r11 saved ar.pfs (a user-level value)
r15 system call number
r16 "current" task pointer (in normal kernel-mode, this is in r13)
r32-r39 system call arguments
b6 return address (a user-level value)
ar.pfs previous frame-state (a user-level value)
PSR.be cleared to zero (i.e., little-endian byte order is in effect)
- all other registers may contain values passed in from user-mode
========= ===============================================================
Required machine state on exit to fsyscall handler
--------------------------------------------------
========= ===========================================================
r11 saved ar.pfs (as passed into the fsyscall handler)
r15 system call number (as passed into the fsyscall handler)
r32-r39 system call arguments (as passed into the fsyscall handler)
b6 return address (as passed into the fsyscall handler)
ar.pfs previous frame-state (as passed into the fsyscall handler)
========= ===========================================================
Fsyscall handlers can execute with very little overhead, but with that
speed comes a set of restrictions:
* Fsyscall-handlers MUST check for any pending work in the flags
member of the thread-info structure and if any of the
TIF_ALLWORK_MASK flags are set, the handler needs to fall back on
doing a full system call (by calling fsys_fallback_syscall).
* Fsyscall-handlers MUST preserve incoming arguments (r32-r39, r11,
r15, b6, and ar.pfs) because they will be needed in case of a
system call restart. Of course, all "preserved" registers also
must be preserved, in accordance to the normal calling conventions.
* Fsyscall-handlers MUST check argument registers for containing a
NaT value before using them in any way that could trigger a
NaT-consumption fault. If a system call argument is found to
contain a NaT value, an fsyscall-handler may return immediately
with r8=EINVAL, r10=-1.
* Fsyscall-handlers MUST NOT use the "alloc" instruction or perform
any other operation that would trigger mandatory RSE
(register-stack engine) traffic.
* Fsyscall-handlers MUST NOT write to any stacked registers because
it is not safe to assume that user-level called a handler with the
proper number of arguments.
* Fsyscall-handlers need to be careful when accessing per-CPU variables:
unless proper safe-guards are taken (e.g., interruptions are avoided),
execution may be pre-empted and resumed on another CPU at any given
time.
* Fsyscall-handlers must be careful not to leak sensitive kernel'
information back to user-level. In particular, before returning to
user-level, care needs to be taken to clear any scratch registers
that could contain sensitive information (note that the current
task pointer is not considered sensitive: it's already exposed
through ar.k6).
* Fsyscall-handlers MUST NOT access user-memory without first
validating access-permission (this can be done typically via
probe.r.fault and/or probe.w.fault) and without guarding against
memory access exceptions (this can be done with the EX() macros
defined by asmmacro.h).
The above restrictions may seem draconian, but remember that it's
possible to trade off some of the restrictions by paying a slightly
higher overhead. For example, if an fsyscall-handler could benefit
from the shadow register bank, it could temporarily disable PSR.i and
PSR.ic, switch to bank 0 (bsw.0) and then use the shadow registers as
needed. In other words, following the above rules yields extremely
fast system call execution (while fully preserving system call
semantics), but there is also a lot of flexibility in handling more
complicated cases.
Signal handling
===============
The delivery of (asynchronous) signals must be delayed until fsys-mode
is exited. This is accomplished with the help of the lower-privilege
transfer trap: arch/ia64/kernel/process.c:do_notify_resume_user()
checks whether the interrupted task was in fsys-mode and, if so, sets
PSR.lp and returns immediately. When fsys-mode is exited via the
"br.ret" instruction that lowers the privilege level, a trap will
occur. The trap handler clears PSR.lp again and returns immediately.
The kernel exit path then checks for and delivers any pending signals.
PSR Handling
============
The "epc" instruction doesn't change the contents of PSR at all. This
is in contrast to a regular interruption, which clears almost all
bits. Because of that, some care needs to be taken to ensure things
work as expected. The following discussion describes how each PSR bit
is handled.
======= =======================================================================
PSR.be Cleared when entering fsys-mode. A srlz.d instruction is used
to ensure the CPU is in little-endian mode before the first
load/store instruction is executed. PSR.be is normally NOT
restored upon return from an fsys-mode handler. In other
words, user-level code must not rely on PSR.be being preserved
across a system call.
PSR.up Unchanged.
PSR.ac Unchanged.
PSR.mfl Unchanged. Note: fsys-mode handlers must not write-registers!
PSR.mfh Unchanged. Note: fsys-mode handlers must not write-registers!
PSR.ic Unchanged. Note: fsys-mode handlers can clear the bit, if needed.
PSR.i Unchanged. Note: fsys-mode handlers can clear the bit, if needed.
PSR.pk Unchanged.
PSR.dt Unchanged.
PSR.dfl Unchanged. Note: fsys-mode handlers must not write-registers!
PSR.dfh Unchanged. Note: fsys-mode handlers must not write-registers!
PSR.sp Unchanged.
PSR.pp Unchanged.
PSR.di Unchanged.
PSR.si Unchanged.
PSR.db Unchanged. The kernel prevents user-level from setting a hardware
breakpoint that triggers at any privilege level other than
3 (user-mode).
PSR.lp Unchanged.
PSR.tb Lazy redirect. If a taken-branch trap occurs while in
fsys-mode, the trap-handler modifies the saved machine state
such that execution resumes in the gate page at
syscall_via_break(), with privilege level 3. Note: the
taken branch would occur on the branch invoking the
fsyscall-handler, at which point, by definition, a syscall
restart is still safe. If the system call number is invalid,
the fsys-mode handler will return directly to user-level. This
return will trigger a taken-branch trap, but since the trap is
taken _after_ restoring the privilege level, the CPU has already
left fsys-mode, so no special treatment is needed.
PSR.rt Unchanged.
PSR.cpl Cleared to 0.
PSR.is Unchanged (guaranteed to be 0 on entry to the gate page).
PSR.mc Unchanged.
PSR.it Unchanged (guaranteed to be 1).
PSR.id Unchanged. Note: the ia64 linux kernel never sets this bit.
PSR.da Unchanged. Note: the ia64 linux kernel never sets this bit.
PSR.dd Unchanged. Note: the ia64 linux kernel never sets this bit.
PSR.ss Lazy redirect. If set, "epc" will cause a Single Step Trap to
be taken. The trap handler then modifies the saved machine
state such that execution resumes in the gate page at
syscall_via_break(), with privilege level 3.
PSR.ri Unchanged.
PSR.ed Unchanged. Note: This bit could only have an effect if an fsys-mode
handler performed a speculative load that gets NaTted. If so, this
would be the normal & expected behavior, so no special treatment is
needed.
PSR.bn Unchanged. Note: fsys-mode handlers may clear the bit, if needed.
Doing so requires clearing PSR.i and PSR.ic as well.
PSR.ia Unchanged. Note: the ia64 linux kernel never sets this bit.
======= =======================================================================
Using fast system calls
=======================
To use fast system calls, userspace applications need simply call
__kernel_syscall_via_epc(). For example
-- example fgettimeofday() call --
-- fgettimeofday.S --
::
#include <asm/asmmacro.h>
GLOBAL_ENTRY(fgettimeofday)
.prologue
.save ar.pfs, r11
mov r11 = ar.pfs
.body
mov r2 = 0xa000000000020660;; // gate address
// found by inspection of System.map for the
// __kernel_syscall_via_epc() function. See
// below for how to do this for real.
mov b7 = r2
mov r15 = 1087 // gettimeofday syscall
;;
br.call.sptk.many b6 = b7
;;
.restore sp
mov ar.pfs = r11
br.ret.sptk.many rp;; // return to caller
END(fgettimeofday)
-- end fgettimeofday.S --
In reality, getting the gate address is accomplished by two extra
values passed via the ELF auxiliary vector (include/asm-ia64/elf.h)
* AT_SYSINFO : is the address of __kernel_syscall_via_epc()
* AT_SYSINFO_EHDR : is the address of the kernel gate ELF DSO
The ELF DSO is a pre-linked library that is mapped in by the kernel at
the gate page. It is a proper ELF shared object so, with a dynamic
loader that recognises the library, you should be able to make calls to
the exported functions within it as with any other shared library.
AT_SYSINFO points into the kernel DSO at the
__kernel_syscall_via_epc() function for historical reasons (it was
used before the kernel DSO) and as a convenience.

IRQ affinity on IA64 platforms
==============================
07.01.2002, Erich Focht <efocht@ess.nec.de>
By writing to /proc/irq/IRQ#/smp_affinity the interrupt routing can be
controlled. The behavior on IA64 platforms is slightly different from
that described in Documentation/core-api/irq/irq-affinity.rst for i386 systems.
Because of the usage of SAPIC mode and physical destination mode the
IRQ target is one particular CPU and cannot be a mask of several
CPUs. Only the first non-zero bit is taken into account.
Usage examples
==============
The target CPU has to be specified as a hexadecimal CPU mask. The
first non-zero bit is the selected CPU. This format has been kept for
compatibility reasons with i386.
Set the delivery mode of interrupt 41 to fixed and route the
interrupts to CPU #3 (logical CPU number) (2^3=0x08)::
echo "8" >/proc/irq/41/smp_affinity
Set the default route for IRQ number 41 to CPU 6 in lowest priority
delivery mode (redirectable)::
echo "r 40" >/proc/irq/41/smp_affinity
The output of the command::
cat /proc/irq/IRQ#/smp_affinity
gives the target CPU mask for the specified interrupt vector. If the CPU
mask is preceded by the character "r", the interrupt is redirectable
(i.e. lowest priority mode routing is used), otherwise its route is
fixed.
Initialization and default behavior
===================================
If the platform features IRQ redirection (info provided by SAL) all
IO-SAPIC interrupts are initialized with CPU#0 as their default target
and the routing is the so called "lowest priority mode" (actually
fixed SAPIC mode with hint). The XTP chipset registers are used as hints
for the IRQ routing. Currently in Linux XTP registers can have three
values:
- minimal for an idle task,
- normal if any other task runs,
- maximal if the CPU is going to be switched off.
The IRQ is routed to the CPU with lowest XTP register value, the
search begins at the default CPU. Therefore most of the interrupts
will be handled by CPU #0.
If the platform doesn't feature interrupt redirection IOSAPIC fixed
routing is used. The target CPUs are distributed in a round robin
manner. IRQs will be routed only to the selected target CPUs. Check
with::
cat /proc/interrupts
Comments
========
On large (multi-node) systems it is recommended to route the IRQs to
the node to which the corresponding device is connected.
For systems like the NEC AzusA we get IRQ node-affinity for free. This
is because usually the chipsets on each node redirect the interrupts
only to their own CPUs (as they cannot see the XTP registers on the
other nodes).

An ad-hoc collection of notes on IA64 MCA and INIT processing
=============================================================
Feel free to update it with notes about any area that is not clear.
---
MCA/INIT are completely asynchronous. They can occur at any time, when
the OS is in any state. Including when one of the cpus is already
holding a spinlock. Trying to get any lock from MCA/INIT state is
asking for deadlock. Also the state of structures that are protected
by locks is indeterminate, including linked lists.
---
The complicated ia64 MCA process. All of this is mandated by Intel's
specification for ia64 SAL, error recovery and unwind, it is not as
if we have a choice here.
* MCA occurs on one cpu, usually due to a double bit memory error.
This is the monarch cpu.
* SAL sends an MCA rendezvous interrupt (which is a normal interrupt)
to all the other cpus, the slaves.
* Slave cpus that receive the MCA interrupt call down into SAL, they
end up spinning disabled while the MCA is being serviced.
* If any slave cpu was already spinning disabled when the MCA occurred
then it cannot service the MCA interrupt. SAL waits ~20 seconds then
sends an unmaskable INIT event to the slave cpus that have not
already rendezvoused.
* Because MCA/INIT can be delivered at any time, including when the cpu
is down in PAL in physical mode, the registers at the time of the
event are _completely_ undefined. In particular the MCA/INIT
handlers cannot rely on the thread pointer, PAL physical mode can
(and does) modify TP. It is allowed to do that as long as it resets
TP on return. However MCA/INIT events expose us to these PAL
internal TP changes. Hence curr_task().
* If an MCA/INIT event occurs while the kernel was running (not user
space) and the kernel has called PAL then the MCA/INIT handler cannot
assume that the kernel stack is in a fit state to be used. Mainly
because PAL may or may not maintain the stack pointer internally.
Because the MCA/INIT handlers cannot trust the kernel stack, they
have to use their own, per-cpu stacks. The MCA/INIT stacks are
preformatted with just enough task state to let the relevant handlers
do their job.
* Unlike most other architectures, the ia64 struct task is embedded in
the kernel stack[1]. So switching to a new kernel stack means that
we switch to a new task as well. Because various bits of the kernel
assume that current points into the struct task, switching to a new
stack also means a new value for current.
* Once all slaves have rendezvoused and are spinning disabled, the
monarch is entered. The monarch now tries to diagnose the problem
and decide if it can recover or not.
* Part of the monarch's job is to look at the state of all the other
tasks. The only way to do that on ia64 is to call the unwinder,
as mandated by Intel.
* The starting point for the unwind depends on whether a task is
running or not. That is, whether it is on a cpu or is blocked. The
monarch has to determine whether or not a task is on a cpu before it
knows how to start unwinding it. The tasks that received an MCA or
INIT event are no longer running, they have been converted to blocked
tasks. But (and its a big but), the cpus that received the MCA
rendezvous interrupt are still running on their normal kernel stacks!
* To distinguish between these two cases, the monarch must know which
tasks are on a cpu and which are not. Hence each slave cpu that
switches to an MCA/INIT stack, registers its new stack using
set_curr_task(), so the monarch can tell that the _original_ task is
no longer running on that cpu. That gives us a decent chance of
getting a valid backtrace of the _original_ task.
* MCA/INIT can be nested, to a depth of 2 on any cpu. In the case of a
nested error, we want diagnostics on the MCA/INIT handler that
failed, not on the task that was originally running. Again this
requires set_curr_task() so the MCA/INIT handlers can register their
own stack as running on that cpu. Then a recursive error gets a
trace of the failing handler's "task".
[1]
My (Keith Owens) original design called for ia64 to separate its
struct task and the kernel stacks. Then the MCA/INIT data would be
chained stacks like i386 interrupt stacks. But that required
radical surgery on the rest of ia64, plus extra hard wired TLB
entries with its associated performance degradation. David
Mosberger vetoed that approach. Which meant that separate kernel
stacks meant separate "tasks" for the MCA/INIT handlers.
---
INIT is less complicated than MCA. Pressing the nmi button or using
the equivalent command on the management console sends INIT to all
cpus. SAL picks one of the cpus as the monarch and the rest are
slaves. All the OS INIT handlers are entered at approximately the same
time. The OS monarch prints the state of all tasks and returns, after
which the slaves return and the system resumes.
At least that is what is supposed to happen. Alas there are broken
versions of SAL out there. Some drive all the cpus as monarchs. Some
drive them all as slaves. Some drive one cpu as monarch, wait for that
cpu to return from the OS then drive the rest as slaves. Some versions
of SAL cannot even cope with returning from the OS, they spin inside
SAL on resume. The OS INIT code has workarounds for some of these
broken SAL symptoms, but some simply cannot be fixed from the OS side.
---
The scheduler hooks used by ia64 (curr_task, set_curr_task) are layer
violations. Unfortunately MCA/INIT start off as massive layer
violations (can occur at _any_ time) and they build from there.
At least ia64 makes an attempt at recovering from hardware errors, but
it is a difficult problem because of the asynchronous nature of these
errors. When processing an unmaskable interrupt we sometimes need
special code to cope with our inability to take any locks.
---
How is ia64 MCA/INIT different from x86 NMI?
* x86 NMI typically gets delivered to one cpu. MCA/INIT gets sent to
all cpus.
* x86 NMI cannot be nested. MCA/INIT can be nested, to a depth of 2
per cpu.
* x86 has a separate struct task which points to one of multiple kernel
stacks. ia64 has the struct task embedded in the single kernel
stack, so switching stack means switching task.
* x86 does not call the BIOS so the NMI handler does not have to worry
about any registers having changed. MCA/INIT can occur while the cpu
is in PAL in physical mode, with undefined registers and an undefined
kernel stack.
* i386 backtrace is not very sensitive to whether a process is running
or not. ia64 unwind is very, very sensitive to whether a process is
running or not.
---
What happens when MCA/INIT is delivered what a cpu is running user
space code?
The user mode registers are stored in the RSE area of the MCA/INIT on
entry to the OS and are restored from there on return to SAL, so user
mode registers are preserved across a recoverable MCA/INIT. Since the
OS has no idea what unwind data is available for the user space stack,
MCA/INIT never tries to backtrace user space. Which means that the OS
does not bother making the user space process look like a blocked task,
i.e. the OS does not copy pt_regs and switch_stack to the user space
stack. Also the OS has no idea how big the user space RSE and memory
stacks are, which makes it too risky to copy the saved state to a user
mode stack.
---
How do we get a backtrace on the tasks that were running when MCA/INIT
was delivered?
mca.c:::ia64_mca_modify_original_stack(). That identifies and
verifies the original kernel stack, copies the dirty registers from
the MCA/INIT stack's RSE to the original stack's RSE, copies the
skeleton struct pt_regs and switch_stack to the original stack, fills
in the skeleton structures from the PAL minstate area and updates the
original stack's thread.ksp. That makes the original stack look
exactly like any other blocked task, i.e. it now appears to be
sleeping. To get a backtrace, just start with thread.ksp for the
original task and unwind like any other sleeping task.
---
How do we identify the tasks that were running when MCA/INIT was
delivered?
If the previous task has been verified and converted to a blocked
state, then sos->prev_task on the MCA/INIT stack is updated to point to
the previous task. You can look at that field in dumps or debuggers.
To help distinguish between the handler and the original tasks,
handlers have _TIF_MCA_INIT set in thread_info.flags.
The sos data is always in the MCA/INIT handler stack, at offset
MCA_SOS_OFFSET. You can get that value from mca_asm.h or calculate it
as KERNEL_STACK_SIZE - sizeof(struct pt_regs) - sizeof(struct
ia64_sal_os_state), with 16 byte alignment for all structures.
Also the comm field of the MCA/INIT task is modified to include the pid
of the original task, for humans to use. For example, a comm field of
'MCA 12159' means that pid 12159 was running when the MCA was
delivered.

Serial Devices
==============
Serial Device Naming
====================
As of 2.6.10, serial devices on ia64 are named based on the
order of ACPI and PCI enumeration. The first device in the
ACPI namespace (if any) becomes /dev/ttyS0, the second becomes
/dev/ttyS1, etc., and PCI devices are named sequentially
starting after the ACPI devices.
Prior to 2.6.10, there were confusing exceptions to this:
- Firmware on some machines (mostly from HP) provides an HCDP
table[1] that tells the kernel about devices that can be used
as a serial console. If the user specified "console=ttyS0"
or the EFI ConOut path contained only UART devices, the
kernel registered the device described by the HCDP as
/dev/ttyS0.
- If there was no HCDP, we assumed there were UARTs at the
legacy COM port addresses (I/O ports 0x3f8 and 0x2f8), so
the kernel registered those as /dev/ttyS0 and /dev/ttyS1.
Any additional ACPI or PCI devices were registered sequentially
after /dev/ttyS0 as they were discovered.
With an HCDP, device names changed depending on EFI configuration
and "console=" arguments. Without an HCDP, device names didn't
change, but we registered devices that might not really exist.
For example, an HP rx1600 with a single built-in serial port
(described in the ACPI namespace) plus an MP[2] (a PCI device) has
these ports:
========== ========== ============ ============ =======
Type MMIO pre-2.6.10 pre-2.6.10 2.6.10+
address
(EFI console (EFI console
on builtin) on MP port)
========== ========== ============ ============ =======
builtin 0xff5e0000 ttyS0 ttyS1 ttyS0
MP UPS 0xf8031000 ttyS1 ttyS2 ttyS1
MP Console 0xf8030000 ttyS2 ttyS0 ttyS2
MP 2 0xf8030010 ttyS3 ttyS3 ttyS3
MP 3 0xf8030038 ttyS4 ttyS4 ttyS4
========== ========== ============ ============ =======
Console Selection
=================
EFI knows what your console devices are, but it doesn't tell the
kernel quite enough to actually locate them. The DIG64 HCDP
table[1] does tell the kernel where potential serial console
devices are, but not all firmware supplies it. Also, EFI supports
multiple simultaneous consoles and doesn't tell the kernel which
should be the "primary" one.
So how do you tell Linux which console device to use?
- If your firmware supplies the HCDP, it is simplest to
configure EFI with a single device (either a UART or a VGA
card) as the console. Then you don't need to tell Linux
anything; the kernel will automatically use the EFI console.
(This works only in 2.6.6 or later; prior to that you had
to specify "console=ttyS0" to get a serial console.)
- Without an HCDP, Linux defaults to a VGA console unless you
specify a "console=" argument.
NOTE: Don't assume that a serial console device will be /dev/ttyS0.
It might be ttyS1, ttyS2, etc. Make sure you have the appropriate
entries in /etc/inittab (for getty) and /etc/securetty (to allow
root login).
Early Serial Console
====================
The kernel can't start using a serial console until it knows where
the device lives. Normally this happens when the driver enumerates
all the serial devices, which can happen a minute or more after the
kernel starts booting.
2.6.10 and later kernels have an "early uart" driver that works
very early in the boot process. The kernel will automatically use
this if the user supplies an argument like "console=uart,io,0x3f8",
or if the EFI console path contains only a UART device and the
firmware supplies an HCDP.
Troubleshooting Serial Console Problems
=======================================
No kernel output after elilo prints "Uncompressing Linux... done":
- You specified "console=ttyS0" but Linux changed the device
to which ttyS0 refers. Configure exactly one EFI console
device[3] and remove the "console=" option.
- The EFI console path contains both a VGA device and a UART.
EFI and elilo use both, but Linux defaults to VGA. Remove
the VGA device from the EFI console path[3].
- Multiple UARTs selected as EFI console devices. EFI and
elilo use all selected devices, but Linux uses only one.
Make sure only one UART is selected in the EFI console
path[3].
- You're connected to an HP MP port[2] but have a non-MP UART
selected as EFI console device. EFI uses the MP as a
console device even when it isn't explicitly selected.
Either move the console cable to the non-MP UART, or change
the EFI console path[3] to the MP UART.
Long pause (60+ seconds) between "Uncompressing Linux... done" and
start of kernel output:
- No early console because you used "console=ttyS<n>". Remove
the "console=" option if your firmware supplies an HCDP.
- If you don't have an HCDP, the kernel doesn't know where
your console lives until the driver discovers serial
devices. Use "console=uart,io,0x3f8" (or appropriate
address for your machine).
Kernel and init script output works fine, but no "login:" prompt:
- Add getty entry to /etc/inittab for console tty. Look for
the "Adding console on ttyS<n>" message that tells you which
device is the console.
"login:" prompt, but can't login as root:
- Add entry to /etc/securetty for console tty.
No ACPI serial devices found in 2.6.17 or later:
- Turn on CONFIG_PNP and CONFIG_PNPACPI. Prior to 2.6.17, ACPI
serial devices were discovered by 8250_acpi. In 2.6.17,
8250_acpi was replaced by the combination of 8250_pnp and
CONFIG_PNPACPI.

The table was originally defined as the "HCDP" for "Headless
Console/Debug Port." The current version is the "PCDP" for
"Primary Console and Debug Port Devices."

The HP MP (management processor) is a PCI device that provides
several UARTs. One of the UARTs is often used as a console; the
EFI Boot Manager identifies it as "Acpi(HWP0002,700)/Pci(...)/Uart".
The external connection is usually a 25-pin connector, and a
special dongle converts that to three 9-pin connectors, one of
which is labelled "Console."
[3]
EFI console devices are configured using the EFI Boot Manager
"Boot option maintenance" menu. You may have to interrupt the
boot sequence to use this menu, and you will have to reset the
box after changing console configuration.
