+Description:
+ Mounting matrix for IIO sensors. This is a rotation matrix which
+ informs userspace about sensor chip's placement relative to the
+ main hardware it is mounted on.
+ Main hardware placement is defined according to the local
+ reference frame related to the physical quantity the sensor
+ measures.
+ Given that the rotation matrix is defined in a board specific
+ way (platform data and / or device-tree), the main hardware
+ reference frame definition is left to the implementor's choice
+ (see below for a magnetometer example).
+ Applications should apply this rotation matrix to samples so
+ that when main hardware reference frame is aligned onto local
+ reference frame, then sensor chip reference frame is also
+ perfectly aligned with it.
+ Matrix is a 3x3 unitary matrix and typically looks like
+ [0, 1, 0; 1, 0, 0; 0, 0, -1]. Identity matrix
+ [1, 0, 0; 0, 1, 0; 0, 0, 1] means sensor chip and main hardware
+ are perfectly aligned with each other.
+
+ For example, a mounting matrix for a magnetometer sensor informs
+ userspace about sensor chip's ORIENTATION relative to the main
+ hardware.
+ More specifically, main hardware orientation is defined with
+ respect to the LOCAL EARTH GEOMAGNETIC REFERENCE FRAME where :
+ * Y is in the ground plane and positive towards magnetic North ;
+ * X is in the ground plane, perpendicular to the North axis and
+ positive towards the East ;
+ * Z is perpendicular to the ground plane and positive upwards.
+
+ An implementor might consider that for a hand-held device, a
+ 'natural' orientation would be 'front facing camera at the top'.
+ The main hardware reference frame could then be described as :
+ * Y is in the plane of the screen and is positive towards the
+ top of the screen ;
+ * X is in the plane of the screen, perpendicular to Y axis, and
+ positive towards the right hand side of the screen ;
+ * Z is perpendicular to the screen plane and positive out of the
+ screen.
+ Another example for a quadrotor UAV might be :
+ * Y is in the plane of the propellers and positive towards the
+ front-view camera;
+ * X is in the plane of the propellers, perpendicular to Y axis,
+ and positive towards the starboard side of the UAV ;
+ * Z is perpendicular to propellers plane and positive upwards.

+<h3><a name="Data-Structure Relationships">Data-Structure Relationships</a></h3>
+
+<p>RCU is for all intents and purposes a large state machine, and its
+data structures maintain the state in such a way as to allow RCU readers
+to execute extremely quickly, while also processing the RCU grace periods
+requested by updaters in an efficient and extremely scalable fashion.
+The efficiency and scalability of RCU updaters is provided primarily
+by a combining tree, as shown below:
+
+</p><p><img src="BigTreeClassicRCU.svg" alt="BigTreeClassicRCU.svg" width="30%">
+
+</p><p>This diagram shows an enclosing <tt>rcu_state</tt> structure
+containing a tree of <tt>rcu_node</tt> structures.
+Each leaf node of the <tt>rcu_node</tt> tree has up to 16
+<tt>rcu_data</tt> structures associated with it, so that there
+are <tt>NR_CPUS</tt> number of <tt>rcu_data</tt> structures,
+one for each possible CPU.
+This structure is adjusted at boot time, if needed, to handle the
+common case where <tt>nr_cpu_ids</tt> is much less than
+<tt>NR_CPUs</tt>.
+For example, a number of Linux distributions set <tt>NR_CPUs=4096</tt>,
+which results in a three-level <tt>rcu_node</tt> tree.
+If the actual hardware has only 16 CPUs, RCU will adjust itself
+at boot time, resulting in an <tt>rcu_node</tt> tree with only a single node.
+
+</p><p>The purpose of this combining tree is to allow per-CPU events
+such as quiescent states, dyntick-idle transitions,
+and CPU hotplug operations to be processed efficiently
+and scalably.
+Quiescent states are recorded by the per-CPU <tt>rcu_data</tt> structures,
+and other events are recorded by the leaf-level <tt>rcu_node</tt>
+structures.
+All of these events are combined at each level of the tree until finally
+grace periods are completed at the tree's root <tt>rcu_node</tt>
+structure.
+A grace period can be completed at the root once every CPU
+(or, in the case of <tt>CONFIG_PREEMPT_RCU</tt>, task)
+has passed through a quiescent state.
+Once a grace period has completed, record of that fact is propagated
+back down the tree.
+
+</p><p>As can be seen from the diagram, on a 64-bit system
+a two-level tree with 64 leaves can accommodate 1,024 CPUs, with a fanout
+of 64 at the root and a fanout of 16 at the leaves.
+
+<table>
+<tr><th>&nbsp;</th></tr>
+<tr><th align="left">Quick Quiz:</th></tr>
+<tr><td>
+ Why isn't the fanout at the leaves also 64?
+</td></tr>
+<tr><th align="left">Answer:</th></tr>
+<tr><td bgcolor="#ffffff"><font color="ffffff">
+ Because there are more types of events that affect the leaf-level
+ <tt>rcu_node</tt> structures than further up the tree.
+ Therefore, if the leaf <tt>rcu_node</tt> structures have fanout of
+ 64, the contention on these structures' <tt>-&gt;structures</tt>
+ becomes excessive.
+ Experimentation on a wide variety of systems has shown that a fanout
+ of 16 works well for the leaves of the <tt>rcu_node</tt> tree.
+ </font>
+
+ <p><font color="ffffff">Of course, further experience with
+ systems having hundreds or thousands of CPUs may demonstrate
+ that the fanout for the non-leaf <tt>rcu_node</tt> structures
+ must also be reduced.
+ Such reduction can be easily carried out when and if it proves
+ necessary.
+ In the meantime, if you are using such a system and running into
+ contention problems on the non-leaf <tt>rcu_node</tt> structures,
+ you may use the <tt>CONFIG_RCU_FANOUT</tt> kernel configuration
+ parameter to reduce the non-leaf fanout as needed.
+ </font>
+
+ <p><font color="ffffff">Kernels built for systems with
+ strong NUMA characteristics might also need to adjust
+ <tt>CONFIG_RCU_FANOUT</tt> so that the domains of the
+ <tt>rcu_node</tt> structures align with hardware boundaries.
+ However, there has thus far been no need for this.
+</font></td></tr>
+<tr><td>&nbsp;</td></tr>
+</table>
+
+<p>If your system has more than 1,024 CPUs (or more than 512 CPUs on
+a 32-bit system), then RCU will automatically add more levels to the
+tree.
+For example, if you are crazy enough to build a 64-bit system with 65,536
+CPUs, RCU would configure the <tt>rcu_node</tt> tree as follows:
+
+</p><p><img src="HugeTreeClassicRCU.svg" alt="HugeTreeClassicRCU.svg" width="50%">
+
+</p><p>RCU currently permits up to a four-level tree, which on a 64-bit system
+accommodates up to 4,194,304 CPUs, though only a mere 524,288 CPUs for
+32-bit systems.
+On the other hand, you can set <tt>CONFIG_RCU_FANOUT</tt> to be
+as small as 2 if you wish, which would permit only 16 CPUs, which
+is useful for testing.
+
+</p><p>This multi-level combining tree allows us to get most of the
+performance and scalability
+benefits of partitioning, even though RCU grace-period detection is
+inherently a global operation.
+The trick here is that only the last CPU to report a quiescent state
+into a given <tt>rcu_node</tt> structure need advance to the <tt>rcu_node</tt>
+structure at the next level up the tree.
+This means that at the leaf-level <tt>rcu_node</tt> structure, only
+one access out of sixteen will progress up the tree.
+For the internal <tt>rcu_node</tt> structures, the situation is even
+more extreme: Only one access out of sixty-four will progress up
+the tree.
+Because the vast majority of the CPUs do not progress up the tree,
+the lock contention remains roughly constant up the tree.
+No matter how many CPUs there are in the system, at most 64 quiescent-state
+reports per grace period will progress all the way to the root
+<tt>rcu_node</tt> structure, thus ensuring that the lock contention
+on that root <tt>rcu_node</tt> structure remains acceptably low.
+
+</p><p>In effect, the combining tree acts like a big shock absorber,
+keeping lock contention under control at all tree levels regardless
+of the level of loading on the system.
+
+</p><p>The Linux kernel actually supports multiple flavors of RCU
+running concurrently, so RCU builds separate data structures for each
+flavor.
+For example, for <tt>CONFIG_TREE_RCU=y</tt> kernels, RCU provides
+rcu_sched and rcu_bh, as shown below:
+
+</p><p><img src="BigTreeClassicRCUBH.svg" alt="BigTreeClassicRCUBH.svg" width="33%">
+
+</p><p>Energy efficiency is increasingly important, and for that
+reason the Linux kernel provides <tt>CONFIG_NO_HZ_IDLE</tt>, which
+turns off the scheduling-clock interrupts on idle CPUs, which in
+turn allows those CPUs to attain deeper sleep states and to consume
+less energy.
+CPUs whose scheduling-clock interrupts have been turned off are
+said to be in <i>dyntick-idle mode</i>.
+RCU must handle dyntick-idle CPUs specially
+because RCU would otherwise wake up each CPU on every grace period,
+which would defeat the whole purpose of <tt>CONFIG_NO_HZ_IDLE</tt>.
+RCU uses the <tt>rcu_dynticks</tt> structure to track
+which CPUs are in dyntick idle mode, as shown below:
+
+</p><p><img src="BigTreeClassicRCUBHdyntick.svg" alt="BigTreeClassicRCUBHdyntick.svg" width="33%">
+
+</p><p>However, if a CPU is in dyntick-idle mode, it is in that mode
+for all flavors of RCU.
+Therefore, a single <tt>rcu_dynticks</tt> structure is allocated per
+CPU, and all of a given CPU's <tt>rcu_data</tt> structures share
+that <tt>rcu_dynticks</tt>, as shown in the figure.
+
+</p><p>Kernels built with <tt>CONFIG_PREEMPT_RCU</tt> support
+rcu_preempt in addition to rcu_sched and rcu_bh, as shown below:
+
+</p><p><img src="BigTreePreemptRCUBHdyntick.svg" alt="BigTreePreemptRCUBHdyntick.svg" width="35%">
+
+</p><p>RCU updaters wait for normal grace periods by registering
+RCU callbacks, either directly via <tt>call_rcu()</tt> and
+friends (namely <tt>call_rcu_bh()</tt> and <tt>call_rcu_sched()</tt>),
+there being a separate interface per flavor of RCU)
+or indirectly via <tt>synchronize_rcu()</tt> and friends.
+RCU callbacks are represented by <tt>rcu_head</tt> structures,
+which are queued on <tt>rcu_data</tt> structures while they are
+waiting for a grace period to elapse, as shown in the following figure:
+
+</p><p><img src="BigTreePreemptRCUBHdyntickCB.svg" alt="BigTreePreemptRCUBHdyntickCB.svg" width="40%">
+
+</p><p>This figure shows how <tt>TREE_RCU</tt>'s and
+<tt>PREEMPT_RCU</tt>'s major data structures are related.
+Lesser data structures will be introduced with the algorithms that
+make use of them.
+
+</p><p>Note that each of the data structures in the above figure has
+its own synchronization:
+
+<p><ol>
+<li> Each <tt>rcu_state</tt> structures has a lock and a mutex,
+ and some fields are protected by the corresponding root
+ <tt>rcu_node</tt> structure's lock.
+<li> Each <tt>rcu_node</tt> structure has a spinlock.
+<li> The fields in <tt>rcu_data</tt> are private to the corresponding
+ CPU, although a few can be read and written by other CPUs.
+<li> Similarly, the fields in <tt>rcu_dynticks</tt> are private
+ to the corresponding CPU, although a few can be read by
+ other CPUs.
+</ol>
+
+<p>It is important to note that different data structures can have
+very different ideas about the state of RCU at any given time.
+For but one example, awareness of the start or end of a given RCU
+grace period propagates slowly through the data structures.
+This slow propagation is absolutely necessary for RCU to have good
+read-side performance.
+If this balkanized implementation seems foreign to you, one useful
+trick is to consider each instance of these data structures to be
+a different person, each having the usual slightly different
+view of reality.
+
+</p><p>The general role of each of these data structures is as
+follows:
+
+</p><ol>
+<li> <tt>rcu_state</tt>:
+ This structure forms the interconnection between the
+ <tt>rcu_node</tt> and <tt>rcu_data</tt> structures,
+ tracks grace periods, serves as short-term repository
+ for callbacks orphaned by CPU-hotplug events,
+ maintains <tt>rcu_barrier()</tt> state,
+ tracks expedited grace-period state,
+ and maintains state used to force quiescent states when
+ grace periods extend too long,
+<li> <tt>rcu_node</tt>: This structure forms the combining
+ tree that propagates quiescent-state
+ information from the leaves to the root, and also propagates
+ grace-period information from the root to the leaves.
+ It provides local copies of the grace-period state in order
+ to allow this information to be accessed in a synchronized
+ manner without suffering the scalability limitations that
+ would otherwise be imposed by global locking.
+ In <tt>CONFIG_PREEMPT_RCU</tt> kernels, it manages the lists
+ of tasks that have blocked while in their current
+ RCU read-side critical section.
+ In <tt>CONFIG_PREEMPT_RCU</tt> with
+ <tt>CONFIG_RCU_BOOST</tt>, it manages the
+ per-<tt>rcu_node</tt> priority-boosting
+ kernel threads (kthreads) and state.
+ Finally, it records CPU-hotplug state in order to determine
+ which CPUs should be ignored during a given grace period.
+<li> <tt>rcu_data</tt>: This per-CPU structure is the
+ focus of quiescent-state detection and RCU callback queuing.
+ It also tracks its relationship to the corresponding leaf
+ <tt>rcu_node</tt> structure to allow more-efficient
+ propagation of quiescent states up the <tt>rcu_node</tt>
+ combining tree.
+ Like the <tt>rcu_node</tt> structure, it provides a local
+ copy of the grace-period information to allow for-free
+ synchronized
+ access to this information from the corresponding CPU.
+ Finally, this structure records past dyntick-idle state
+ for the corresponding CPU and also tracks statistics.
+<li> <tt>rcu_dynticks</tt>:
+ This per-CPU structure tracks the current dyntick-idle
+ state for the corresponding CPU.
+ Unlike the other three structures, the <tt>rcu_dynticks</tt>
+ structure is not replicated per RCU flavor.
+<li> <tt>rcu_head</tt>:
+ This structure represents RCU callbacks, and is the
+ only structure allocated and managed by RCU users.
+ The <tt>rcu_head</tt> structure is normally embedded
+ within the RCU-protected data structure.
+</ol>
+
+<p>If all you wanted from this article was a general notion of how
+RCU's data structures are related, you are done.
+Otherwise, each of the following sections give more details on
+the <tt>rcu_state</tt>, <tt>rcu_node</tt>, <tt>rcu_data</tt>,
+and <tt>rcu_dynticks</tt> data structures.
+
+<h3><a name="The rcu_state Structure">
+The <tt>rcu_state</tt> Structure</a></h3>
+
+<p>The <tt>rcu_state</tt> structure is the base structure that
+represents a flavor of RCU.
+This structure forms the interconnection between the
+<tt>rcu_node</tt> and <tt>rcu_data</tt> structures,
+tracks grace periods, contains the lock used to
+synchronize with CPU-hotplug events,
+and maintains state used to force quiescent states when
+grace periods extend too long,
+
+</p><p>A few of the <tt>rcu_state</tt> structure's fields are discussed,
+singly and in groups, in the following sections.
+The more specialized fields are covered in the discussion of their
+use.
+
+<h5>Relationship to rcu_node and rcu_data Structures</h5>
+
+This portion of the <tt>rcu_state</tt> structure is declared
+as follows:
+
+<pre>
+ 1 struct rcu_node node[NUM_RCU_NODES];
+ 2 struct rcu_node *level[NUM_RCU_LVLS + 1];
+ 3 struct rcu_data __percpu *rda;
+</pre>
+
+<table>
+<tr><th>&nbsp;</th></tr>
+<tr><th align="left">Quick Quiz:</th></tr>
+<tr><td>
+ Wait a minute!
+ You said that the <tt>rcu_node</tt> structures formed a tree,
+ but they are declared as a flat array!
+ What gives?
+</td></tr>
+<tr><th align="left">Answer:</th></tr>
+<tr><td bgcolor="#ffffff"><font color="ffffff">
+ The tree is laid out in the array.
+ The first node In the array is the head, the next set of nodes in the
+ array are children of the head node, and so on until the last set of
+ nodes in the array are the leaves.
+ </font>
+
+ <p><font color="ffffff">See the following diagrams to see how
+ this works.
+</font></td></tr>
+<tr><td>&nbsp;</td></tr>
+</table>
+
+<p>The <tt>rcu_node</tt> tree is embedded into the
+<tt>-&gt;node[]</tt> array as shown in the following figure:
+
+</p><p><img src="TreeMapping.svg" alt="TreeMapping.svg" width="40%">
+
+</p><p>One interesting consequence of this mapping is that a
+breadth-first traversal of the tree is implemented as a simple
+linear scan of the array, which is in fact what the
+<tt>rcu_for_each_node_breadth_first()</tt> macro does.
+This macro is used at the beginning and ends of grace periods.
+
+</p><p>Each entry of the <tt>-&gt;level</tt> array references
+the first <tt>rcu_node</tt> structure on the corresponding level
+of the tree, for example, as shown below:
+
+</p><p><img src="TreeMappingLevel.svg" alt="TreeMappingLevel.svg" width="40%">
+
+</p><p>The zero<sup>th</sup> element of the array references the root
+<tt>rcu_node</tt> structure, the first element references the
+first child of the root <tt>rcu_node</tt>, and finally the second
+element references the first leaf <tt>rcu_node</tt> structure.
+
+</p><p>For whatever it is worth, if you draw the tree to be tree-shaped
+rather than array-shaped, it is easy to draw a planar representation:
+
+</p><p><img src="TreeLevel.svg" alt="TreeLevel.svg" width="60%">
+
+</p><p>Finally, the <tt>-&gt;rda</tt> field references a per-CPU
+pointer to the corresponding CPU's <tt>rcu_data</tt> structure.
+
+</p><p>All of these fields are constant once initialization is complete,
+and therefore need no protection.
+
+<h5>Grace-Period Tracking</h5>
+
+<p>This portion of the <tt>rcu_state</tt> structure is declared
+as follows:
+
+<pre>
+ 1 unsigned long gpnum;
+ 2 unsigned long completed;
+</pre>
+
+<p>RCU grace periods are numbered, and
+the <tt>-&gt;gpnum</tt> field contains the number of the grace
+period that started most recently.
+The <tt>-&gt;completed</tt> field contains the number of the
+grace period that completed most recently.
+If the two fields are equal, the RCU grace period that most recently
+started has already completed, and therefore the corresponding
+flavor of RCU is idle.
+If <tt>-&gt;gpnum</tt> is one greater than <tt>-&gt;completed</tt>,
+then <tt>-&gt;gpnum</tt> gives the number of the current RCU
+grace period, which has not yet completed.
+Any other combination of values indicates that something is broken.
+These two fields are protected by the root <tt>rcu_node</tt>'s
+<tt>-&gt;lock</tt> field.
+
+</p><p>There are <tt>-&gt;gpnum</tt> and <tt>-&gt;completed</tt> fields
+in the <tt>rcu_node</tt> and <tt>rcu_data</tt> structures
+as well.
+The fields in the <tt>rcu_state</tt> structure represent the
+most current values, and those of the other structures are compared
+in order to detect the start of a new grace period in a distributed
+fashion.
+The values flow from <tt>rcu_state</tt> to <tt>rcu_node</tt>
+(down the tree from the root to the leaves) to <tt>rcu_data</tt>.
+
+<h5>Miscellaneous</h5>
+
+<p>This portion of the <tt>rcu_state</tt> structure is declared
+as follows:
+
+<pre>
+ 1 unsigned long gp_max;
+ 2 char abbr;
+ 3 char *name;
+</pre>
+
+<p>The <tt>-&gt;gp_max</tt> field tracks the duration of the longest
+grace period in jiffies.
+It is protected by the root <tt>rcu_node</tt>'s <tt>-&gt;lock</tt>.
+
+<p>The <tt>-&gt;name</tt> field points to the name of the RCU flavor
+(for example, &ldquo;rcu_sched&rdquo;), and is constant.
+The <tt>-&gt;abbr</tt> field contains a one-character abbreviation,
+for example, &ldquo;s&rdquo; for RCU-sched.
+
+<h3><a name="The rcu_node Structure">
+The <tt>rcu_node</tt> Structure</a></h3>
+
+<p>The <tt>rcu_node</tt> structures form the combining
+tree that propagates quiescent-state
+information from the leaves to the root and also that propagates
+grace-period information from the root down to the leaves.
+They provides local copies of the grace-period state in order
+to allow this information to be accessed in a synchronized
+manner without suffering the scalability limitations that
+would otherwise be imposed by global locking.
+In <tt>CONFIG_PREEMPT_RCU</tt> kernels, they manage the lists
+of tasks that have blocked while in their current
+RCU read-side critical section.
+In <tt>CONFIG_PREEMPT_RCU</tt> with
+<tt>CONFIG_RCU_BOOST</tt>, they manage the
+per-<tt>rcu_node</tt> priority-boosting
+kernel threads (kthreads) and state.
+Finally, they record CPU-hotplug state in order to determine
+which CPUs should be ignored during a given grace period.
+
+</p><p>The <tt>rcu_node</tt> structure's fields are discussed,
+singly and in groups, in the following sections.
+
+<h5>Connection to Combining Tree</h5>
+
+<p>This portion of the <tt>rcu_node</tt> structure is declared
+as follows:
+
+<pre>
+ 1 struct rcu_node *parent;
+ 2 u8 level;
+ 3 u8 grpnum;
+ 4 unsigned long grpmask;
+ 5 int grplo;
+ 6 int grphi;
+</pre>
+
+<p>The <tt>-&gt;parent</tt> pointer references the <tt>rcu_node</tt>
+one level up in the tree, and is <tt>NULL</tt> for the root
+<tt>rcu_node</tt>.
+The RCU implementation makes heavy use of this field to push quiescent
+states up the tree.
+The <tt>-&gt;level</tt> field gives the level in the tree, with
+the root being at level zero, its children at level one, and so on.
+The <tt>-&gt;grpnum</tt> field gives this node's position within
+the children of its parent, so this number can range between 0 and 31
+on 32-bit systems and between 0 and 63 on 64-bit systems.
+The <tt>-&gt;level</tt> and <tt>-&gt;grpnum</tt> fields are
+used only during initialization and for tracing.
+The <tt>-&gt;grpmask</tt> field is the bitmask counterpart of
+<tt>-&gt;grpnum</tt>, and therefore always has exactly one bit set.
+This mask is used to clear the bit corresponding to this <tt>rcu_node</tt>
+structure in its parent's bitmasks, which are described later.
+Finally, the <tt>-&gt;grplo</tt> and <tt>-&gt;grphi</tt> fields
+contain the lowest and highest numbered CPU served by this
+<tt>rcu_node</tt> structure, respectively.
+
+</p><p>All of these fields are constant, and thus do not require any
+synchronization.
+
+<h5>Synchronization</h5>
+
+<p>This field of the <tt>rcu_node</tt> structure is declared
+as follows:
+
+<pre>
+ 1 raw_spinlock_t lock;
+</pre>
+
+<p>This field is used to protect the remaining fields in this structure,
+unless otherwise stated.
+That said, all of the fields in this structure can be accessed without
+locking for tracing purposes.
+Yes, this can result in confusing traces, but better some tracing confusion
+than to be heisenbugged out of existence.
+
+<h5>Grace-Period Tracking</h5>
+
+<p>This portion of the <tt>rcu_node</tt> structure is declared
+as follows:
+
+<pre>
+ 1 unsigned long gpnum;
+ 2 unsigned long completed;
+</pre>
+
+<p>These fields are the counterparts of the fields of the same name in
+the <tt>rcu_state</tt> structure.
+They each may lag up to one behind their <tt>rcu_state</tt>
+counterparts.
+If a given <tt>rcu_node</tt> structure's <tt>-&gt;gpnum</tt> and
+<tt>-&gt;complete</tt> fields are equal, then this <tt>rcu_node</tt>
+structure believes that RCU is idle.
+Otherwise, as with the <tt>rcu_state</tt> structure,
+the <tt>-&gt;gpnum</tt> field will be one greater than the
+<tt>-&gt;complete</tt> fields, with <tt>-&gt;gpnum</tt>
+indicating which grace period this <tt>rcu_node</tt> believes
+is still being waited for.
+
+</p><p>The <tt>&gt;gpnum</tt> field of each <tt>rcu_node</tt>
+structure is updated at the beginning
+of each grace period, and the <tt>-&gt;completed</tt> fields are
+updated at the end of each grace period.
+
+<h5>Quiescent-State Tracking</h5>
+
+<p>These fields manage the propagation of quiescent states up the
+combining tree.
+
+</p><p>This portion of the <tt>rcu_node</tt> structure has fields
+as follows:
+
+<pre>
+ 1 unsigned long qsmask;
+ 2 unsigned long expmask;
+ 3 unsigned long qsmaskinit;
+ 4 unsigned long expmaskinit;
+</pre>
+
+<p>The <tt>-&gt;qsmask</tt> field tracks which of this
+<tt>rcu_node</tt> structure's children still need to report
+quiescent states for the current normal grace period.
+Such children will have a value of 1 in their corresponding bit.
+Note that the leaf <tt>rcu_node</tt> structures should be
+thought of as having <tt>rcu_data</tt> structures as their
+children.
+Similarly, the <tt>-&gt;expmask</tt> field tracks which
+of this <tt>rcu_node</tt> structure's children still need to report
+quiescent states for the current expedited grace period.
+An expedited grace period has
+the same conceptual properties as a normal grace period, but the
+expedited implementation accepts extreme CPU overhead to obtain
+much lower grace-period latency, for example, consuming a few
+tens of microseconds worth of CPU time to reduce grace-period
+duration from milliseconds to tens of microseconds.
+The <tt>-&gt;qsmaskinit</tt> field tracks which of this
+<tt>rcu_node</tt> structure's children cover for at least
+one online CPU.
+This mask is used to initialize <tt>-&gt;qsmask</tt>,
+and <tt>-&gt;expmaskinit</tt> is used to initialize
+<tt>-&gt;expmask</tt> and the beginning of the
+normal and expedited grace periods, respectively.

+ state for the wrong
+ grace period.
+ That grace period might now end before the RCU read-side
+ critical section.
+ If that happens, disaster will ensue.
+ </font>

+
+ <p><font color="ffffff">So the locking is absolutely required in

+
+<h5>Blocked-Task Management</h5>
+
+<p><tt>PREEMPT_RCU</tt> allows tasks to be preempted in the
+midst of their RCU read-side critical sections, and these tasks
+must be tracked explicitly.
+The details of exactly why and how they are tracked will be covered
+in a separate article on RCU read-side processing.
+For now, it is enough to know that the <tt>rcu_node</tt>
+structure tracks them.
+
+<pre>
+ 1 struct list_head blkd_tasks;
+ 2 struct list_head *gp_tasks;
+ 3 struct list_head *exp_tasks;
+ 4 bool wait_blkd_tasks;
+</pre>
+
+<p>The <tt>-&gt;blkd_tasks</tt> field is a list header for
+the list of blocked and preempted tasks.
+As tasks undergo context switches within RCU read-side critical
+sections, their <tt>task_struct</tt> structures are enqueued
+(via the <tt>task_struct</tt>'s <tt>-&gt;rcu_node_entry</tt>
+field) onto the head of the <tt>-&gt;blkd_tasks</tt> list for the
+leaf <tt>rcu_node</tt> structure corresponding to the CPU
+on which the outgoing context switch executed.
+As these tasks later exit their RCU read-side critical sections,
+they remove themselves from the list.
+This list is therefore in reverse time order, so that if one of the tasks
+is blocking the current grace period, all subsequent tasks must
+also be blocking that same grace period.
+Therefore, a single pointer into this list suffices to track
+all tasks blocking a given grace period.
+That pointer is stored in <tt>-&gt;gp_tasks</tt> for normal
+grace periods and in <tt>-&gt;exp_tasks</tt> for expedited
+grace periods.
+These last two fields are <tt>NULL</tt> if either there is
+no grace period in flight or if there are no blocked tasks
+preventing that grace period from completing.
+If either of these two pointers is referencing a task that
+removes itself from the <tt>-&gt;blkd_tasks</tt> list,
+then that task must advance the pointer to the next task on
+the list, or set the pointer to <tt>NULL</tt> if there
+are no subsequent tasks on the list.
+
+</p><p>For example, suppose that tasks&nbsp;T1, T2, and&nbsp;T3 are
+all hard-affinitied to the largest-numbered CPU in the system.
+Then if task&nbsp;T1 blocked in an RCU read-side
+critical section, then an expedited grace period started,
+then task&nbsp;T2 blocked in an RCU read-side critical section,
+then a normal grace period started, and finally task&nbsp;3 blocked
+in an RCU read-side critical section, then the state of the
+last leaf <tt>rcu_node</tt> structure's blocked-task list
+would be as shown below:
+
+</p><p><img src="blkd_task.svg" alt="blkd_task.svg" width="60%">
+
+</p><p>Task&nbsp;T1 is blocking both grace periods, task&nbsp;T2 is
+blocking only the normal grace period, and task&nbsp;T3 is blocking
+neither grace period.
+Note that these tasks will not remove themselves from this list
+immediately upon resuming execution.
+They will instead remain on the list until they execute the outermost
+<tt>rcu_read_unlock()</tt> that ends their RCU read-side critical
+section.
+
+<p>
+The <tt>-&gt;wait_blkd_tasks</tt> field indicates whether or not
+the current grace period is waiting on a blocked task.
+
+<h5>Sizing the <tt>rcu_node</tt> Array</h5>

+
+<p>The maximum number of levels in the <tt>rcu_node</tt> structure
+is currently limited to four, as specified by lines&nbsp;21-24
+and the structure of the subsequent &ldquo;if&rdquo; statement.
+For 32-bit systems, this allows 16*32*32*32=524,288 CPUs, which
+should be sufficient for the next few years at least.
+For 64-bit systems, 16*64*64*64=4,194,304 CPUs is allowed, which
+should see us through the next decade or so.
+This four-level tree also allows kernels built with
+<tt>CONFIG_RCU_FANOUT=8</tt> to support up to 4096 CPUs,
+which might be useful in very large systems having eight CPUs per
+socket (but please note that no one has yet shown any measurable
+performance degradation due to misaligned socket and <tt>rcu_node</tt>
+boundaries).
+In addition, building kernels with a full four levels of <tt>rcu_node</tt>
+tree permits better testing of RCU's combining-tree code.
+
+</p><p>The <tt>RCU_FANOUT</tt> symbol controls how many children
+are permitted at each non-leaf level of the <tt>rcu_node</tt> tree.
+If the <tt>CONFIG_RCU_FANOUT</tt> Kconfig option is not specified,
+it is set based on the word size of the system, which is also
+the Kconfig default.
+
+</p><p>The <tt>RCU_FANOUT_LEAF</tt> symbol controls how many CPUs are
+handled by each leaf <tt>rcu_node</tt> structure.
+Experience has shown that allowing a given leaf <tt>rcu_node</tt>
+structure to handle 64 CPUs, as permitted by the number of bits in
+the <tt>-&gt;qsmask</tt> field on a 64-bit system, results in
+excessive contention for the leaf <tt>rcu_node</tt> structures'
+<tt>-&gt;lock</tt> fields.
+The number of CPUs per leaf <tt>rcu_node</tt> structure is therefore
+limited to 16 given the default value of <tt>CONFIG_RCU_FANOUT_LEAF</tt>.
+If <tt>CONFIG_RCU_FANOUT_LEAF</tt> is unspecified, the value
+selected is based on the word size of the system, just as for
+<tt>CONFIG_RCU_FANOUT</tt>.
+Lines&nbsp;11-19 perform this computation.
+
+</p><p>Lines&nbsp;21-24 compute the maximum number of CPUs supported by
+a single-level (which contains a single <tt>rcu_node</tt> structure),
+two-level, three-level, and four-level <tt>rcu_node</tt> tree,
+respectively, given the fanout specified by <tt>RCU_FANOUT</tt>
+and <tt>RCU_FANOUT_LEAF</tt>.
+These numbers of CPUs are retained in the
+<tt>RCU_FANOUT_1</tt>,
+<tt>RCU_FANOUT_2</tt>,
+<tt>RCU_FANOUT_3</tt>, and
+<tt>RCU_FANOUT_4</tt>
+C-preprocessor variables, respectively.
+
+</p><p>These variables are used to control the C-preprocessor <tt>#if</tt>
+statement spanning lines&nbsp;26-66 that computes the number of
+<tt>rcu_node</tt> structures required for each level of the tree,
+as well as the number of levels required.
+The number of levels is placed in the <tt>NUM_RCU_LVLS</tt>
+C-preprocessor variable by lines&nbsp;27, 35, 44, and&nbsp;54.
+The number of <tt>rcu_node</tt> structures for the topmost level
+of the tree is always exactly one, and this value is unconditionally
+placed into <tt>NUM_RCU_LVL_0</tt> by lines&nbsp;28, 36, 45, and&nbsp;55.
+The rest of the levels (if any) of the <tt>rcu_node</tt> tree
+are computed by dividing the maximum number of CPUs by the
+fanout supported by the number of levels from the current level down,
+rounding up. This computation is performed by lines&nbsp;37,
+46-47, and&nbsp;56-58.
+Lines&nbsp;31-33, 40-42, 50-52, and&nbsp;62-63 create initializers
+for lockdep lock-class names.
+Finally, lines&nbsp;64-66 produce an error if the maximum number of

+<h3><a name="The rcu_data Structure">
+The <tt>rcu_data</tt> Structure</a></h3>
+
+<p>The <tt>rcu_data</tt> maintains the per-CPU state for the
+corresponding flavor of RCU.
+The fields in this structure may be accessed only from the corresponding
+CPU (and from tracing) unless otherwise stated.
+This structure is the
+focus of quiescent-state detection and RCU callback queuing.
+It also tracks its relationship to the corresponding leaf
+<tt>rcu_node</tt> structure to allow more-efficient
+propagation of quiescent states up the <tt>rcu_node</tt>
+combining tree.
+Like the <tt>rcu_node</tt> structure, it provides a local
+copy of the grace-period information to allow for-free
+synchronized
+access to this information from the corresponding CPU.
+Finally, this structure records past dyntick-idle state
+for the corresponding CPU and also tracks statistics.
+
+</p><p>The <tt>rcu_data</tt> structure's fields are discussed,
+singly and in groups, in the following sections.
+
+<h5>Connection to Other Data Structures</h5>
+
+<p>This portion of the <tt>rcu_data</tt> structure is declared
+as follows:
+
+<pre>
+ 1 int cpu;
+ 2 struct rcu_state *rsp;
+ 3 struct rcu_node *mynode;
+ 4 struct rcu_dynticks *dynticks;
+ 5 unsigned long grpmask;
+ 6 bool beenonline;
+</pre>
+
+<p>The <tt>-&gt;cpu</tt> field contains the number of the
+corresponding CPU, the <tt>-&gt;rsp</tt> pointer references
+the corresponding <tt>rcu_state</tt> structure (and is most frequently
+used to locate the name of the corresponding flavor of RCU for tracing),
+and the <tt>-&gt;mynode</tt> field references the corresponding
+<tt>rcu_node</tt> structure.
+The <tt>-&gt;mynode</tt> is used to propagate quiescent states
+up the combining tree.
+<p>The <tt>-&gt;dynticks</tt> pointer references the
+<tt>rcu_dynticks</tt> structure corresponding to this
+CPU.
+Recall that a single per-CPU instance of the <tt>rcu_dynticks</tt>
+structure is shared among all flavors of RCU.
+These first four fields are constant and therefore require not
+synchronization.
+
+</p><p>The <tt>-&gt;grpmask</tt> field indicates the bit in
+the <tt>-&gt;mynode-&gt;qsmask</tt> corresponding to this
+<tt>rcu_data</tt> structure, and is also used when propagating
+quiescent states.
+The <tt>-&gt;beenonline</tt> flag is set whenever the corresponding
+CPU comes online, which means that the debugfs tracing need not dump
+out any <tt>rcu_data</tt> structure for which this flag is not set.
+
+<h5>Quiescent-State and Grace-Period Tracking</h5>
+
+<p>This portion of the <tt>rcu_data</tt> structure is declared

+ 1 unsigned long completed;
+ 2 unsigned long gpnum;

+ 4 bool core_needs_qs;
+ 5 bool gpwrap;
+ 6 unsigned long rcu_qs_ctr_snap;
+</pre>
+
+<p>The <tt>completed</tt> and <tt>gpnum</tt>
+fields are the counterparts of the fields of the same name
+in the <tt>rcu_state</tt> and <tt>rcu_node</tt> structures.
+They may each lag up to one behind their <tt>rcu_node</tt>
+counterparts, but in <tt>CONFIG_NO_HZ_IDLE</tt> and
+<tt>CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL</tt> kernels can lag
+arbitrarily far behind for CPUs in dyntick-idle mode (but these counters
+will catch up upon exit from dyntick-idle mode).
+If a given <tt>rcu_data</tt> structure's <tt>-&gt;gpnum</tt> and
+<tt>-&gt;complete</tt> fields are equal, then this <tt>rcu_data</tt>
+structure believes that RCU is idle.
+Otherwise, as with the <tt>rcu_state</tt> and <tt>rcu_node</tt>
+structure,
+the <tt>-&gt;gpnum</tt> field will be one greater than the
+<tt>-&gt;complete</tt> fields, with <tt>-&gt;gpnum</tt>

+<tr><td bgcolor="#ffffff"><font color="ffffff">
+ Because if there was only a single global pair of grace-period
+ numbers, there would need to be a single global lock to allow
+ safely accessing and updating them.
+ And if we are not going to have a single global lock, we need
+ to carefully manage the numbers on a per-node basis.

+
+<p>The <tt>-&gt;cpu_no_qs</tt> flag indicates that the
+CPU has not yet passed through a quiescent state,
+while the <tt>-&gt;core_needs_qs</tt> flag indicates that the
+RCU core needs a quiescent state from the corresponding CPU.
+The <tt>-&gt;gpwrap</tt> field indicates that the corresponding
+CPU has remained idle for so long that the <tt>completed</tt>
+and <tt>gpnum</tt> counters are in danger of overflow, which
+will cause the CPU to disregard the values of its counters on
+its next exit from idle.
+Finally, the <tt>rcu_qs_ctr_snap</tt> field is used to detect
+cases where a given operation has resulted in a quiescent state
+for all flavors of RCU, for example, <tt>cond_resched_rcu_qs()</tt>.
+
+<h5>RCU Callback Handling</h5>
+
+<p>In the absence of CPU-hotplug events, RCU callbacks are invoked by
+the same CPU that registered them.
+This is strictly a cache-locality optimization: callbacks can and
+do get invoked on CPUs other than the one that registered them.
+After all, if the CPU that registered a given callback has gone
+offline before the callback can be invoked, there really is no other
+choice.
+
+</p><p>This portion of the <tt>rcu_data</tt> structure is declared
+as follows:
+
+<pre>
+ 1 struct rcu_head *nxtlist;
+ 2 struct rcu_head **nxttail[RCU_NEXT_SIZE];
+ 3 unsigned long nxtcompleted[RCU_NEXT_SIZE];
+ 4 long qlen_lazy;
+ 5 long qlen;
+ 6 long qlen_last_fqs_check;
+ 7 unsigned long n_force_qs_snap;
+ 8 unsigned long n_cbs_invoked;
+ 9 unsigned long n_cbs_orphaned;
+10 unsigned long n_cbs_adopted;
+11 long blimit;
+</pre>
+
+<p>The <tt>-&gt;nxtlist</tt> pointer and the
+<tt>-&gt;nxttail[]</tt> array form a four-segment list with
+older callbacks near the head and newer ones near the tail.
+Each segment contains callbacks with the corresponding relationship
+to the current grace period.
+The pointer out of the end of each of the four segments is referenced
+by the element of the <tt>-&gt;nxttail[]</tt> array indexed by
+<tt>RCU_DONE_TAIL</tt> (for callbacks handled by a prior grace period),
+<tt>RCU_WAIT_TAIL</tt> (for callbacks waiting on the current grace period),
+<tt>RCU_NEXT_READY_TAIL</tt> (for callbacks that will wait on the next
+grace period), and
+<tt>RCU_NEXT_TAIL</tt> (for callbacks that are not yet associated
+with a specific grace period)
+respectively, as shown in the following figure.
+
+</p><p><img src="nxtlist.svg" alt="nxtlist.svg" width="40%">
+
+</p><p>In this figure, the <tt>-&gt;nxtlist</tt> pointer references the
+first
+RCU callback in the list.
+The <tt>-&gt;nxttail[RCU_DONE_TAIL]</tt> array element references
+the <tt>-&gt;nxtlist</tt> pointer itself, indicating that none
+of the callbacks is ready to invoke.
+The <tt>-&gt;nxttail[RCU_WAIT_TAIL]</tt> array element references callback
+CB&nbsp;2's <tt>-&gt;next</tt> pointer, which indicates that
+CB&nbsp;1 and CB&nbsp;2 are both waiting on the current grace period.
+The <tt>-&gt;nxttail[RCU_NEXT_READY_TAIL]</tt> array element
+references the same RCU callback that <tt>-&gt;nxttail[RCU_WAIT_TAIL]</tt>
+does, which indicates that there are no callbacks waiting on the next
+RCU grace period.
+The <tt>-&gt;nxttail[RCU_NEXT_TAIL]</tt> array element references
+CB&nbsp;4's <tt>-&gt;next</tt> pointer, indicating that all the
+remaining RCU callbacks have not yet been assigned to an RCU grace
+period.
+Note that the <tt>-&gt;nxttail[RCU_NEXT_TAIL]</tt> array element
+always references the last RCU callback's <tt>-&gt;next</tt> pointer
+unless the callback list is empty, in which case it references
+the <tt>-&gt;nxtlist</tt> pointer.
+
+</p><p>CPUs advance their callbacks from the
+<tt>RCU_NEXT_TAIL</tt> to the <tt>RCU_NEXT_READY_TAIL</tt> to the
+<tt>RCU_WAIT_TAIL</tt> to the <tt>RCU_DONE_TAIL</tt> list segments
+as grace periods advance.
+The CPU advances the callbacks in its <tt>rcu_data</tt> structure
+whenever it notices that another RCU grace period has completed.
+The CPU detects the completion of an RCU grace period by noticing
+that the value of its <tt>rcu_data</tt> structure's
+<tt>-&gt;completed</tt> field differs from that of its leaf
+<tt>rcu_node</tt> structure.
+Recall that each <tt>rcu_node</tt> structure's
+<tt>-&gt;completed</tt> field is updated at the end of each
+grace period.
+
+</p><p>The <tt>-&gt;nxtcompleted[]</tt> array records grace-period
+numbers corresponding to the list segments.
+This allows CPUs that go idle for extended periods to determine
+which of their callbacks are ready to be invoked after reawakening.
+
+</p><p>The <tt>-&gt;qlen</tt> counter contains the number of
+callbacks in <tt>-&gt;nxtlist</tt>, and the
+<tt>-&gt;qlen_lazy</tt> contains the number of those callbacks that
+are known to only free memory, and whose invocation can therefore
+be safely deferred.
+The <tt>-&gt;qlen_last_fqs_check</tt> and
+<tt>-&gt;n_force_qs_snap</tt> coordinate the forcing of quiescent
+states from <tt>call_rcu()</tt> and friends when callback
+lists grow excessively long.
+
+</p><p>The <tt>-&gt;n_cbs_invoked</tt>,
+<tt>-&gt;n_cbs_orphaned</tt>, and <tt>-&gt;n_cbs_adopted</tt>
+fields count the number of callbacks invoked,
+sent to other CPUs when this CPU goes offline,
+and received from other CPUs when those other CPUs go offline.
+Finally, the <tt>-&gt;blimit</tt> counter is the maximum number of
+RCU callbacks that may be invoked at a given time.
+
+<h5>Dyntick-Idle Handling</h5>
+
+<p>This portion of the <tt>rcu_data</tt> structure is declared
+as follows:
+
+<pre>
+ 1 int dynticks_snap;
+ 2 unsigned long dynticks_fqs;
+</pre>
+
+The <tt>-&gt;dynticks_snap</tt> field is used to take a snapshot
+of the corresponding CPU's dyntick-idle state when forcing
+quiescent states, and is therefore accessed from other CPUs.
+Finally, the <tt>-&gt;dynticks_fqs</tt> field is used to
+count the number of times this CPU is determined to be in
+dyntick-idle state, and is used for tracing and debugging purposes.
+
+<h3><a name="The rcu_dynticks Structure">
+The <tt>rcu_dynticks</tt> Structure</a></h3>
+
+<p>The <tt>rcu_dynticks</tt> maintains the per-CPU dyntick-idle state
+for the corresponding CPU.
+Unlike the other structures, <tt>rcu_dynticks</tt> is not
+replicated over the different flavors of RCU.
+The fields in this structure may be accessed only from the corresponding
+CPU (and from tracing) unless otherwise stated.
+Its fields are as follows:
+
+<pre>
+ 1 int dynticks_nesting;
+ 2 int dynticks_nmi_nesting;
+ 3 atomic_t dynticks;
+</pre>
+
+<p>The <tt>-&gt;dynticks_nesting</tt> field counts the
+nesting depth of normal interrupts.
+In addition, this counter is incremented when exiting dyntick-idle
+mode and decremented when entering it.
+This counter can therefore be thought of as counting the number
+of reasons why this CPU cannot be permitted to enter dyntick-idle
+mode, aside from non-maskable interrupts (NMIs).
+NMIs are counted by the <tt>-&gt;dynticks_nmi_nesting</tt>
+field, except that NMIs that interrupt non-dyntick-idle execution
+are not counted.
+
+</p><p>Finally, the <tt>-&gt;dynticks</tt> field counts the corresponding
+CPU's transitions to and from dyntick-idle mode, so that this counter
+has an even value when the CPU is in dyntick-idle mode and an odd
+value otherwise.
+
+<table>
+<tr><th>&nbsp;</th></tr>

+<p>Additional fields are present for some special-purpose
+builds, and are discussed separately.
+
+<h3><a name="The rcu_head Structure">
+The <tt>rcu_head</tt> Structure</a></h3>
+
+<p>Each <tt>rcu_head</tt> structure represents an RCU callback.
+These structures are normally embedded within RCU-protected data
+structures whose algorithms use asynchronous grace periods.
+In contrast, when using algorithms that block waiting for RCU grace periods,
+RCU users need not provide <tt>rcu_head</tt> structures.
+
+</p><p>The <tt>rcu_head</tt> structure has fields as follows:
+
+<pre>
+ 1 struct rcu_head *next;
+ 2 void (*func)(struct rcu_head *head);
+</pre>
+
+<p>The <tt>-&gt;next</tt> field is used
+to link the <tt>rcu_head</tt> structures together in the
+lists within the <tt>rcu_data</tt> structures.
+The <tt>-&gt;func</tt> field is a pointer to the function
+to be called when the callback is ready to be invoked, and
+this function is passed a pointer to the <tt>rcu_head</tt>
+structure.
+However, <tt>kfree_rcu()</tt> uses the <tt>-&gt;func</tt>
+field to record the offset of the <tt>rcu_head</tt>
+structure within the enclosing RCU-protected data structure.
+
+</p><p>Both of these fields are used internally by RCU.
+From the viewpoint of RCU users, this structure is an
+opaque &ldquo;cookie&rdquo;.
+
+<table>
+<tr><th>&nbsp;</th></tr>
+<tr><th align="left">Quick Quiz:</th></tr>
+<tr><td>
+ Given that the callback function <tt>-&gt;func</tt>

+<tr><th align="left">Answer:</th></tr>

+RCU-Specific Fields in the <tt>task_struct</tt> Structure</a></h3>
+
+<p>The <tt>CONFIG_PREEMPT_RCU</tt> implementation uses some

+12 #endif /* #ifdef CONFIG_TASKS_RCU */
+</pre>
+
+<p>The <tt>-&gt;rcu_read_lock_nesting</tt> field records the
+nesting level for RCU read-side critical sections, and
+the <tt>-&gt;rcu_read_unlock_special</tt> field is a bitmask
+that records special conditions that require <tt>rcu_read_unlock()</tt>
+to do additional work.
+The <tt>-&gt;rcu_node_entry</tt> field is used to form lists of
+tasks that have blocked within preemptible-RCU read-side critical
+sections and the <tt>-&gt;rcu_blocked_node</tt> field references
+the <tt>rcu_node</tt> structure whose list this task is a member of,
+or <tt>NULL</tt> if it is not blocked within a preemptible-RCU
+read-side critical section.
+
+<p>The <tt>-&gt;rcu_tasks_nvcsw</tt> field tracks the number of

+<tt>-&gt;rcu_tasks_holdout</tt> is set if the current tasks-RCU
+grace period is waiting on this task, <tt>-&gt;rcu_tasks_holdout_list</tt>
+is a list element enqueuing this task on the holdout list,

+Perhaps you have an RCU protected data structure that is accessed from

+That is three flavors of RCU, the normal flavor, the bottom-half flavor,

+
+<p>
+The best approach is usually to &ldquo;just say no!&rdquo; and
+insert <tt>rcu_read_lock()</tt> and <tt>rcu_read_unlock()</tt>
+around each RCU read-side critical section, regardless of what
+environment it happens to be in.
+But suppose that some of the RCU read-side critical sections are

+is not a viable option, so that <tt>rcu_read_lock()</tt> and
+<tt>rcu_read_unlock()</tt> are not free.
+What then?
+
+<p>
+You <i>could</i> wait on all three grace periods in succession, as follows:
+
+<blockquote>
+<pre>
+ 1 synchronize_rcu();
+ 2 synchronize_rcu_bh();
+ 3 synchronize_sched();
+</pre>
+</blockquote>
+
+<p>
+This works, but triples the update-side latency penalty.
+In cases where this is not acceptable, <tt>synchronize_rcu_mult()</tt>
+may be used to wait on all three flavors of grace period concurrently:
+
+<blockquote>
+<pre>
+ 1 synchronize_rcu_mult(call_rcu, call_rcu_bh, call_rcu_sched);
+</pre>
+</blockquote>
+
+<p>
+But what if it is necessary to also wait on SRCU?
+This can be done as follows:
+
+<blockquote>
+<pre>
+ 1 static void call_my_srcu(struct rcu_head *head,
+ 2 void (*func)(struct rcu_head *head))

+</blockquote>
+

-</p><p><b>Answer</b>:
-Let's start with what happens to <tt>do_something_gp()</tt>
-if it fails to use <tt>rcu_dereference()</tt>.
-It could reuse a value formerly fetched from this same pointer.
-It could also fetch the pointer from <tt>gp</tt> in a byte-at-a-time

-<p><b>Quick Quiz 6</b>:
-The first and second guarantees require unbelievably strict ordering!
-Are all these memory barriers <i> really</i> required?
-
-
-</p><p><b>Answer</b>:
-Yes, they really are required.
-To see why the first guarantee is required, consider the following
-sequence of events:
-
-<ol>
-<li> CPU 1: <tt>rcu_read_lock()</tt>
-<li> CPU 1: <tt>q = rcu_dereference(gp);
- /* Very likely to return p. */</tt>
-<li> CPU 0: <tt>list_del_rcu(p);</tt>
-<li> CPU 0: <tt>synchronize_rcu()</tt> starts.
-<li> CPU 1: <tt>do_something_with(q-&gt;a);
- /* No smp_mb(), so might happen after kfree(). */</tt>
-<li> CPU 1: <tt>rcu_read_unlock()</tt>
-<li> CPU 0: <tt>synchronize_rcu()</tt> returns.
-<li> CPU 0: <tt>kfree(p);</tt>
-</ol>
-
-<p>
-Therefore, there absolutely must be a full memory barrier between the
-end of the RCU read-side critical section and the end of the
-grace period.
-
-<p>
-The sequence of events demonstrating the necessity of the second rule
-is roughly similar:
-
-<ol>
-<li> CPU 0: <tt>list_del_rcu(p);</tt>
-<li> CPU 0: <tt>synchronize_rcu()</tt> starts.
-<li> CPU 1: <tt>rcu_read_lock()</tt>
-<li> CPU 1: <tt>q = rcu_dereference(gp);
- /* Might return p if no memory barrier. */</tt>
-<li> CPU 0: <tt>synchronize_rcu()</tt> returns.
-<li> CPU 0: <tt>kfree(p);</tt>
-<li> CPU 1: <tt>do_something_with(q-&gt;a); /* Boom!!! */</tt>
-<li> CPU 1: <tt>rcu_read_unlock()</tt>
-</ol>
-
-<p>
-And similarly, without a memory barrier between the beginning of the
-grace period and the beginning of the RCU read-side critical section,
-CPU&nbsp;1 might end up accessing the freelist.
-
-<p>
-The &ldquo;as if&rdquo; rule of course applies, so that any implementation
-that acts as if the appropriate memory barriers were in place is a
-correct implementation.
-That said, it is much easier to fool yourself into believing that you have
-adhered to the as-if rule than it is to actually adhere to it!

-<h2>Introduction</h2>
-
-<p>
-Read-copy update (RCU) is a synchronization mechanism that is often
-used as a replacement for reader-writer locking.
-RCU is unusual in that updaters do not block readers,
-which means that RCU's read-side primitives can be exceedingly fast
-and scalable.
-In addition, updaters can make useful forward progress concurrently
-with readers.
-However, all this concurrency between RCU readers and updaters does raise
-the question of exactly what RCU readers are doing, which in turn
-raises the question of exactly what RCU's requirements are.
-
-<p>
-This document therefore summarizes RCU's requirements, and can be thought
-of as an informal, high-level specification for RCU.
-It is important to understand that RCU's specification is primarily
-empirical in nature;
-in fact, I learned about many of these requirements the hard way.
-This situation might cause some consternation, however, not only
-has this learning process been a lot of fun, but it has also been
-a great privilege to work with so many people willing to apply
-technologies in interesting new ways.
-

-<h3><a name="Grace-Period Guarantee">Grace-Period Guarantee</a></h3>
-
-<p>
-RCU's grace-period guarantee is unusual in being premeditated:
-Jack Slingwine and I had this guarantee firmly in mind when we started
-work on RCU (then called &ldquo;rclock&rdquo;) in the early 1990s.
-That said, the past two decades of experience with RCU have produced
-a much more detailed understanding of this guarantee.
-
-<p>
-RCU's grace-period guarantee allows updaters to wait for the completion
-of all pre-existing RCU read-side critical sections.
-An RCU read-side critical section
-begins with the marker <tt>rcu_read_lock()</tt> and ends with
-the marker <tt>rcu_read_unlock()</tt>.
-These markers may be nested, and RCU treats a nested set as one
-big RCU read-side critical section.
-Production-quality implementations of <tt>rcu_read_lock()</tt> and
-<tt>rcu_read_unlock()</tt> are extremely lightweight, and in
-fact have exactly zero overhead in Linux kernels built for production
-use with <tt>CONFIG_PREEMPT=n</tt>.
-
-<p>
-This guarantee allows ordering to be enforced with extremely low
-overhead to readers, for example:
-
-<blockquote>
-<pre>
- 1 int x, y;
- 2
- 3 void thread0(void)
- 4 {
- 5 rcu_read_lock();
- 6 r1 = READ_ONCE(x);
- 7 r2 = READ_ONCE(y);
- 8 rcu_read_unlock();
- 9 }
-10
-11 void thread1(void)
-12 {
-13 WRITE_ONCE(x, 1);
-14 synchronize_rcu();
-15 WRITE_ONCE(y, 1);
-16 }
-</pre>
-</blockquote>
-
-<p>
-Because the <tt>synchronize_rcu()</tt> on line&nbsp;14 waits for
-all pre-existing readers, any instance of <tt>thread0()</tt> that
-loads a value of zero from <tt>x</tt> must complete before
-<tt>thread1()</tt> stores to <tt>y</tt>, so that instance must
-also load a value of zero from <tt>y</tt>.
-Similarly, any instance of <tt>thread0()</tt> that loads a value of
-one from <tt>y</tt> must have started after the
-<tt>synchronize_rcu()</tt> started, and must therefore also load
-a value of one from <tt>x</tt>.
-Therefore, the outcome:
-<blockquote>
-<pre>
-(r1 == 0 &amp;&amp; r2 == 1)
-</pre>
-</blockquote>
-cannot happen.
-
-<p>@@QQ@@
-Wait a minute!
-You said that updaters can make useful forward progress concurrently
-with readers, but pre-existing readers will block
-<tt>synchronize_rcu()</tt>!!!
-Just who are you trying to fool???
-<p>@@QQA@@
-First, if updaters do not wish to be blocked by readers, they can use
-<tt>call_rcu()</tt> or <tt>kfree_rcu()</tt>, which will
-be discussed later.
-Second, even when using <tt>synchronize_rcu()</tt>, the other
-update-side code does run concurrently with readers, whether pre-existing
-or not.
-<p>@@QQE@@
-
-<p>
-This scenario resembles one of the first uses of RCU in
-<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DYNIX">DYNIX/ptx</a>,
-which managed a distributed lock manager's transition into
-a state suitable for handling recovery from node failure,
-more or less as follows:
-
-<blockquote>
-<pre>
- 1 #define STATE_NORMAL 0
- 2 #define STATE_WANT_RECOVERY 1
- 3 #define STATE_RECOVERING 2
- 4 #define STATE_WANT_NORMAL 3
- 5
- 6 int state = STATE_NORMAL;
- 7
- 8 void do_something_dlm(void)
- 9 {
-10 int state_snap;
-11
-12 rcu_read_lock();
-13 state_snap = READ_ONCE(state);
-14 if (state_snap == STATE_NORMAL)
-15 do_something();
-16 else
-17 do_something_carefully();
-18 rcu_read_unlock();
-19 }
-20
-21 void start_recovery(void)
-22 {
-23 WRITE_ONCE(state, STATE_WANT_RECOVERY);
-24 synchronize_rcu();
-25 WRITE_ONCE(state, STATE_RECOVERING);
-26 recovery();
-27 WRITE_ONCE(state, STATE_WANT_NORMAL);
-28 synchronize_rcu();
-29 WRITE_ONCE(state, STATE_NORMAL);
-30 }
-</pre>
-</blockquote>
-
-<p>
-The RCU read-side critical section in <tt>do_something_dlm()</tt>
-works with the <tt>synchronize_rcu()</tt> in <tt>start_recovery()</tt>
-to guarantee that <tt>do_something()</tt> never runs concurrently
-with <tt>recovery()</tt>, but with little or no synchronization
-overhead in <tt>do_something_dlm()</tt>.
-
-<p>@@QQ@@
-Why is the <tt>synchronize_rcu()</tt> on line&nbsp;28 needed?
-<p>@@QQA@@
-Without that extra grace period, memory reordering could result in
-<tt>do_something_dlm()</tt> executing <tt>do_something()</tt>
-concurrently with the last bits of <tt>recovery()</tt>.
-<p>@@QQE@@
-
-<p>
-In order to avoid fatal problems such as deadlocks,
-an RCU read-side critical section must not contain calls to
-<tt>synchronize_rcu()</tt>.
-Similarly, an RCU read-side critical section must not
-contain anything that waits, directly or indirectly, on completion of
-an invocation of <tt>synchronize_rcu()</tt>.
-
-<p>
-Although RCU's grace-period guarantee is useful in and of itself, with
-<a href="https://lwn.net/Articles/573497/">quite a few use cases</a>,
-it would be good to be able to use RCU to coordinate read-side
-access to linked data structures.
-For this, the grace-period guarantee is not sufficient, as can
-be seen in function <tt>add_gp_buggy()</tt> below.
-We will look at the reader's code later, but in the meantime, just think of
-the reader as locklessly picking up the <tt>gp</tt> pointer,
-and, if the value loaded is non-<tt>NULL</tt>, locklessly accessing the
-<tt>-&gt;a</tt> and <tt>-&gt;b</tt> fields.
-
-<blockquote>
-<pre>
- 1 bool add_gp_buggy(int a, int b)
- 2 {
- 3 p = kmalloc(sizeof(*p), GFP_KERNEL);
- 4 if (!p)
- 5 return -ENOMEM;
- 6 spin_lock(&amp;gp_lock);
- 7 if (rcu_access_pointer(gp)) {
- 8 spin_unlock(&amp;gp_lock);
- 9 return false;
-10 }
-11 p-&gt;a = a;
-12 p-&gt;b = a;
-13 gp = p; /* ORDERING BUG */
-14 spin_unlock(&amp;gp_lock);
-15 return true;
-16 }
-</pre>
-</blockquote>
-
-<p>
-The problem is that both the compiler and weakly ordered CPUs are within
-their rights to reorder this code as follows:
-
-<blockquote>
-<pre>
- 1 bool add_gp_buggy_optimized(int a, int b)
- 2 {
- 3 p = kmalloc(sizeof(*p), GFP_KERNEL);
- 4 if (!p)
- 5 return -ENOMEM;
- 6 spin_lock(&amp;gp_lock);
- 7 if (rcu_access_pointer(gp)) {
- 8 spin_unlock(&amp;gp_lock);
- 9 return false;
-10 }
-<b>11 gp = p; /* ORDERING BUG */
-12 p-&gt;a = a;
-13 p-&gt;b = a;</b>
-14 spin_unlock(&amp;gp_lock);
-15 return true;
-16 }
-</pre>
-</blockquote>
-
-<p>
-If an RCU reader fetches <tt>gp</tt> just after
-<tt>add_gp_buggy_optimized</tt> executes line&nbsp;11,
-it will see garbage in the <tt>-&gt;a</tt> and <tt>-&gt;b</tt>
-fields.
-And this is but one of many ways in which compiler and hardware optimizations
-could cause trouble.
-Therefore, we clearly need some way to prevent the compiler and the CPU from
-reordering in this manner, which brings us to the publish-subscribe
-guarantee discussed in the next section.
-
-<h3><a name="Publish-Subscribe Guarantee">Publish/Subscribe Guarantee</a></h3>
-
-<p>
-RCU's publish-subscribe guarantee allows data to be inserted
-into a linked data structure without disrupting RCU readers.
-The updater uses <tt>rcu_assign_pointer()</tt> to insert the
-new data, and readers use <tt>rcu_dereference()</tt> to
-access data, whether new or old.
-The following shows an example of insertion:
-
-<blockquote>
-<pre>
- 1 bool add_gp(int a, int b)
- 2 {
- 3 p = kmalloc(sizeof(*p), GFP_KERNEL);
- 4 if (!p)
- 5 return -ENOMEM;
- 6 spin_lock(&amp;gp_lock);
- 7 if (rcu_access_pointer(gp)) {
- 8 spin_unlock(&amp;gp_lock);
- 9 return false;
-10 }
-11 p-&gt;a = a;
-12 p-&gt;b = a;
-13 rcu_assign_pointer(gp, p);
-14 spin_unlock(&amp;gp_lock);
-15 return true;
-16 }
-</pre>
-</blockquote>
-
-<p>
-The <tt>rcu_assign_pointer()</tt> on line&nbsp;13 is conceptually
-equivalent to a simple assignment statement, but also guarantees
-that its assignment will
-happen after the two assignments in lines&nbsp;11 and&nbsp;12,
-similar to the C11 <tt>memory_order_release</tt> store operation.
-It also prevents any number of &ldquo;interesting&rdquo; compiler
-optimizations, for example, the use of <tt>gp</tt> as a scratch
-location immediately preceding the assignment.
-
-<p>@@QQ@@
-But <tt>rcu_assign_pointer()</tt> does nothing to prevent the
-two assignments to <tt>p-&gt;a</tt> and <tt>p-&gt;b</tt>
-from being reordered.
-Can't that also cause problems?
-<p>@@QQA@@
-No, it cannot.
-The readers cannot see either of these two fields until
-the assignment to <tt>gp</tt>, by which time both fields are
-fully initialized.
-So reordering the assignments
-to <tt>p-&gt;a</tt> and <tt>p-&gt;b</tt> cannot possibly
-cause any problems.
-<p>@@QQE@@
-
-<p>
-It is tempting to assume that the reader need not do anything special
-to control its accesses to the RCU-protected data,
-as shown in <tt>do_something_gp_buggy()</tt> below:
-
-<blockquote>
-<pre>
- 1 bool do_something_gp_buggy(void)
- 2 {
- 3 rcu_read_lock();
- 4 p = gp; /* OPTIMIZATIONS GALORE!!! */
- 5 if (p) {
- 6 do_something(p-&gt;a, p-&gt;b);
- 7 rcu_read_unlock();
- 8 return true;
- 9 }
-10 rcu_read_unlock();
-11 return false;
-12 }
-</pre>
-</blockquote>
-
-<p>
-However, this temptation must be resisted because there are a
-surprisingly large number of ways that the compiler
-(to say nothing of
-<a href="https://h71000.www7.hp.com/wizard/wiz_2637.html">DEC Alpha CPUs</a>)
-can trip this code up.
-For but one example, if the compiler were short of registers, it
-might choose to refetch from <tt>gp</tt> rather than keeping
-a separate copy in <tt>p</tt> as follows:
-
-<blockquote>
-<pre>
- 1 bool do_something_gp_buggy_optimized(void)
- 2 {
- 3 rcu_read_lock();
- 4 if (gp) { /* OPTIMIZATIONS GALORE!!! */
-<b> 5 do_something(gp-&gt;a, gp-&gt;b);</b>
- 6 rcu_read_unlock();
- 7 return true;
- 8 }
- 9 rcu_read_unlock();
-10 return false;
-11 }
-</pre>
-</blockquote>
-
-<p>
-If this function ran concurrently with a series of updates that
-replaced the current structure with a new one,
-the fetches of <tt>gp-&gt;a</tt>
-and <tt>gp-&gt;b</tt> might well come from two different structures,
-which could cause serious confusion.
-To prevent this (and much else besides), <tt>do_something_gp()</tt> uses
-<tt>rcu_dereference()</tt> to fetch from <tt>gp</tt>:
-
-<blockquote>
-<pre>
- 1 bool do_something_gp(void)
- 2 {
- 3 rcu_read_lock();
- 4 p = rcu_dereference(gp);
- 5 if (p) {
- 6 do_something(p-&gt;a, p-&gt;b);
- 7 rcu_read_unlock();
- 8 return true;
- 9 }
-10 rcu_read_unlock();
-11 return false;
-12 }
-</pre>
-</blockquote>
-
-<p>
-The <tt>rcu_dereference()</tt> uses volatile casts and (for DEC Alpha)
-memory barriers in the Linux kernel.
-Should a
-<a href="http://www.rdrop.com/users/paulmck/RCU/consume.2015.07.13a.pdf">high-quality implementation of C11 <tt>memory_order_consume</tt> [PDF]</a>
-ever appear, then <tt>rcu_dereference()</tt> could be implemented
-as a <tt>memory_order_consume</tt> load.
-Regardless of the exact implementation, a pointer fetched by
-<tt>rcu_dereference()</tt> may not be used outside of the
-outermost RCU read-side critical section containing that
-<tt>rcu_dereference()</tt>, unless protection of
-the corresponding data element has been passed from RCU to some
-other synchronization mechanism, most commonly locking or
-<a href="https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/RCU/rcuref.txt">reference counting</a>.
-
-<p>
-In short, updaters use <tt>rcu_assign_pointer()</tt> and readers
-use <tt>rcu_dereference()</tt>, and these two RCU API elements
-work together to ensure that readers have a consistent view of
-newly added data elements.
-
-<p>
-Of course, it is also necessary to remove elements from RCU-protected
-data structures, for example, using the following process:
-
-<ol>
-<li> Remove the data element from the enclosing structure.
-<li> Wait for all pre-existing RCU read-side critical sections
- to complete (because only pre-existing readers can possibly have
- a reference to the newly removed data element).
-<li> At this point, only the updater has a reference to the
- newly removed data element, so it can safely reclaim
- the data element, for example, by passing it to <tt>kfree()</tt>.
-</ol>
-
-This process is implemented by <tt>remove_gp_synchronous()</tt>:
-
-<blockquote>
-<pre>
- 1 bool remove_gp_synchronous(void)
- 2 {
- 3 struct foo *p;
- 4
- 5 spin_lock(&amp;gp_lock);
- 6 p = rcu_access_pointer(gp);
- 7 if (!p) {
- 8 spin_unlock(&amp;gp_lock);
- 9 return false;
-10 }
-11 rcu_assign_pointer(gp, NULL);
-12 spin_unlock(&amp;gp_lock);
-13 synchronize_rcu();
-14 kfree(p);
-15 return true;
-16 }
-</pre>
-</blockquote>
-
-<p>
-This function is straightforward, with line&nbsp;13 waiting for a grace
-period before line&nbsp;14 frees the old data element.
-This waiting ensures that readers will reach line&nbsp;7 of
-<tt>do_something_gp()</tt> before the data element referenced by
-<tt>p</tt> is freed.
-The <tt>rcu_access_pointer()</tt> on line&nbsp;6 is similar to
-<tt>rcu_dereference()</tt>, except that:
-
-<ol>
-<li> The value returned by <tt>rcu_access_pointer()</tt>
- cannot be dereferenced.
- If you want to access the value pointed to as well as
- the pointer itself, use <tt>rcu_dereference()</tt>
- instead of <tt>rcu_access_pointer()</tt>.
-<li> The call to <tt>rcu_access_pointer()</tt> need not be
- protected.
- In contrast, <tt>rcu_dereference()</tt> must either be
- within an RCU read-side critical section or in a code
- segment where the pointer cannot change, for example, in
- code protected by the corresponding update-side lock.
-</ol>
-
-<p>@@QQ@@
-Without the <tt>rcu_dereference()</tt> or the
-<tt>rcu_access_pointer()</tt>, what destructive optimizations
-might the compiler make use of?
-<p>@@QQA@@
-Let's start with what happens to <tt>do_something_gp()</tt>
-if it fails to use <tt>rcu_dereference()</tt>.
-It could reuse a value formerly fetched from this same pointer.
-It could also fetch the pointer from <tt>gp</tt> in a byte-at-a-time
-manner, resulting in <i>load tearing</i>, in turn resulting a bytewise
-mash-up of two distince pointer values.
-It might even use value-speculation optimizations, where it makes a wrong
-guess, but by the time it gets around to checking the value, an update
-has changed the pointer to match the wrong guess.
-Too bad about any dereferences that returned pre-initialization garbage
-in the meantime!
-
-<p>
-For <tt>remove_gp_synchronous()</tt>, as long as all modifications

-the above optimizations are harmless.
-However,

-<p>@@QQE@@
-
-<p>
-In short, RCU's publish-subscribe guarantee is provided by the combination
-of <tt>rcu_assign_pointer()</tt> and <tt>rcu_dereference()</tt>.
-This guarantee allows data elements to be safely added to RCU-protected
-linked data structures without disrupting RCU readers.
-This guarantee can be used in combination with the grace-period
-guarantee to also allow data elements to be removed from RCU-protected
-linked data structures, again without disrupting RCU readers.
-
-<p>
-This guarantee was only partially premeditated.
-DYNIX/ptx used an explicit memory barrier for publication, but had nothing
-resembling <tt>rcu_dereference()</tt> for subscription, nor did it
-have anything resembling the <tt>smp_read_barrier_depends()</tt>
-that was later subsumed into <tt>rcu_dereference()</tt>.
-The need for these operations made itself known quite suddenly at a
-late-1990s meeting with the DEC Alpha architects, back in the days when
-DEC was still a free-standing company.
-It took the Alpha architects a good hour to convince me that any sort
-of barrier would ever be needed, and it then took me a good <i>two</i> hours
-to convince them that their documentation did not make this point clear.
-More recent work with the C and C++ standards committees have provided
-much education on tricks and traps from the compiler.
-In short, compilers were much less tricky in the early 1990s, but in
-2015, don't even think about omitting <tt>rcu_dereference()</tt>!
-
-<h3><a name="Memory-Barrier Guarantees">Memory-Barrier Guarantees</a></h3>
-
-<p>
-The previous section's simple linked-data-structure scenario clearly
-demonstrates the need for RCU's stringent memory-ordering guarantees on
-systems with more than one CPU:
-
-<ol>
-<li> Each CPU that has an RCU read-side critical section that
- begins before <tt>synchronize_rcu()</tt> starts is
- guaranteed to execute a full memory barrier between the time
- that the RCU read-side critical section ends and the time that
- <tt>synchronize_rcu()</tt> returns.
- Without this guarantee, a pre-existing RCU read-side critical section
- might hold a reference to the newly removed <tt>struct foo</tt>
- after the <tt>kfree()</tt> on line&nbsp;14 of
- <tt>remove_gp_synchronous()</tt>.
-<li> Each CPU that has an RCU read-side critical section that ends
- after <tt>synchronize_rcu()</tt> returns is guaranteed
- to execute a full memory barrier between the time that
- <tt>synchronize_rcu()</tt> begins and the time that the RCU
- read-side critical section begins.
- Without this guarantee, a later RCU read-side critical section
- running after the <tt>kfree()</tt> on line&nbsp;14 of
- <tt>remove_gp_synchronous()</tt> might
- later run <tt>do_something_gp()</tt> and find the
- newly deleted <tt>struct foo</tt>.
-<li> If the task invoking <tt>synchronize_rcu()</tt> remains
- on a given CPU, then that CPU is guaranteed to execute a full
- memory barrier sometime during the execution of
- <tt>synchronize_rcu()</tt>.
- This guarantee ensures that the <tt>kfree()</tt> on
- line&nbsp;14 of <tt>remove_gp_synchronous()</tt> really does
- execute after the removal on line&nbsp;11.
-<li> If the task invoking <tt>synchronize_rcu()</tt> migrates
- among a group of CPUs during that invocation, then each of the
- CPUs in that group is guaranteed to execute a full memory barrier
- sometime during the execution of <tt>synchronize_rcu()</tt>.
- This guarantee also ensures that the <tt>kfree()</tt> on
- line&nbsp;14 of <tt>remove_gp_synchronous()</tt> really does
- execute after the removal on
- line&nbsp;11, but also in the case where the thread executing the
- <tt>synchronize_rcu()</tt> migrates in the meantime.
-</ol>
-
-<p>@@QQ@@
-Given that multiple CPUs can start RCU read-side critical sections
-at any time without any ordering whatsoever, how can RCU possibly tell whether
-or not a given RCU read-side critical section starts before a
-given instance of <tt>synchronize_rcu()</tt>?
-<p>@@QQA@@
-If RCU cannot tell whether or not a given
-RCU read-side critical section starts before a
-given instance of <tt>synchronize_rcu()</tt>,
-then it must assume that the RCU read-side critical section
-started first.
-In other words, a given instance of <tt>synchronize_rcu()</tt>
-can avoid waiting on a given RCU read-side critical section only
-if it can prove that <tt>synchronize_rcu()</tt> started first.
-<p>@@QQE@@
-
-<p>@@QQ@@
-The first and second guarantees require unbelievably strict ordering!
-Are all these memory barriers <i> really</i> required?
-<p>@@QQA@@
-Yes, they really are required.
-To see why the first guarantee is required, consider the following
-sequence of events:
-
-<ol>
-<li> CPU 1: <tt>rcu_read_lock()</tt>
-<li> CPU 1: <tt>q = rcu_dereference(gp);
- /* Very likely to return p. */</tt>
-<li> CPU 0: <tt>list_del_rcu(p);</tt>
-<li> CPU 0: <tt>synchronize_rcu()</tt> starts.
-<li> CPU 1: <tt>do_something_with(q-&gt;a);
- /* No smp_mb(), so might happen after kfree(). */</tt>
-<li> CPU 1: <tt>rcu_read_unlock()</tt>
-<li> CPU 0: <tt>synchronize_rcu()</tt> returns.
-<li> CPU 0: <tt>kfree(p);</tt>
-</ol>
-
-<p>
-Therefore, there absolutely must be a full memory barrier between the
-end of the RCU read-side critical section and the end of the
-grace period.
-
-<p>
-The sequence of events demonstrating the necessity of the second rule
-is roughly similar:
-
-<ol>
-<li> CPU 0: <tt>list_del_rcu(p);</tt>
-<li> CPU 0: <tt>synchronize_rcu()</tt> starts.
-<li> CPU 1: <tt>rcu_read_lock()</tt>
-<li> CPU 1: <tt>q = rcu_dereference(gp);
- /* Might return p if no memory barrier. */</tt>
-<li> CPU 0: <tt>synchronize_rcu()</tt> returns.
-<li> CPU 0: <tt>kfree(p);</tt>
-<li> CPU 1: <tt>do_something_with(q-&gt;a); /* Boom!!! */</tt>
-<li> CPU 1: <tt>rcu_read_unlock()</tt>
-</ol>
-
-<p>
-And similarly, without a memory barrier between the beginning of the
-grace period and the beginning of the RCU read-side critical section,
-CPU&nbsp;1 might end up accessing the freelist.
-
-<p>
-The &ldquo;as if&rdquo; rule of course applies, so that any implementation
-that acts as if the appropriate memory barriers were in place is a
-correct implementation.
-That said, it is much easier to fool yourself into believing that you have
-adhered to the as-if rule than it is to actually adhere to it!
-<p>@@QQE@@
-
-<p>
-Note that these memory-barrier requirements do not replace the fundamental
-RCU requirement that a grace period wait for all pre-existing readers.
-On the contrary, the memory barriers called out in this section must operate in
-such a way as to <i>enforce</i> this fundamental requirement.
-Of course, different implementations enforce this requirement in different

-<h3><a name="RCU Primitives Guaranteed to Execute Unconditionally">RCU Primitives Guaranteed to Execute Unconditionally</a></h3>
-
-<p>
-The common-case RCU primitives are unconditional.
-They are invoked, they do their job, and they return, with no possibility
-of error, and no need to retry.
-This is a key RCU design philosophy.
-
-<p>
-However, this philosophy is pragmatic rather than pigheaded.
-If someone comes up with a good justification for a particular conditional
-RCU primitive, it might well be implemented and added.
-After all, this guarantee was reverse-engineered, not premeditated.
-The unconditional nature of the RCU primitives was initially an
-accident of implementation, and later experience with synchronization
-primitives with conditional primitives caused me to elevate this
-accident to a guarantee.
-Therefore, the justification for adding a conditional primitive to
-RCU would need to be based on detailed and compelling use cases.

-<h3><a name="Guaranteed Read-to-Write Upgrade">Guaranteed Read-to-Write Upgrade</a></h3>

-<p>
-As far as RCU is concerned, it is always possible to carry out an
-update within an RCU read-side critical section.
-For example, that RCU read-side critical section might search for
-a given data element, and then might acquire the update-side
-spinlock in order to update that element, all while remaining
-in that RCU read-side critical section.
-Of course, it is necessary to exit the RCU read-side critical section
-before invoking <tt>synchronize_rcu()</tt>, however, this
-inconvenience can be avoided through use of the
-<tt>call_rcu()</tt> and <tt>kfree_rcu()</tt> API members

-However, this was an accident of implementation and is not a requirement.
-And in the current Linux-kernel implementation, disabling preemption
-on a given CPU in fact does not block grace periods, as Oleg Nesterov
-<a href="https://lkml.kernel.org/g/20150614193825.GA19582@redhat.com">demonstrated</a>.
-
-<p>
-If you need a preempt-disable region to block grace periods, you need to add

-as follows:
-
-<blockquote>

- 4 rcu_read_unlock();
- 5 preempt_enable();

-12 spin_unlock(&amp;mylock);

-<p>
-In theory, you could enter the RCU read-side critical section first,
-but it is more efficient to keep the entire RCU read-side critical
-section contained in the preempt-disable region as shown above.
-Of course, RCU read-side critical sections that extend outside of
-preempt-disable regions will work correctly, but such critical sections
-can be preempted, which forces <tt>rcu_read_unlock()</tt> to do

-And no, this is <i>not</i> an invitation to enclose all of your RCU
-read-side critical sections within preempt-disable regions, because

-<h2><a name="Parallelism Facts of Life">Parallelism Facts of Life</a></h2>
-
-<p>
-These parallelism facts of life are by no means specific to RCU, but
-the RCU implementation must abide by them.
-They therefore bear repeating:
-
-<ol>
-<li> Any CPU or task may be delayed at any time,
- and any attempts to avoid these delays by disabling
- preemption, interrupts, or whatever are completely futile.
- This is most obvious in preemptible user-level
- environments and in virtualized environments (where
- a given guest OS's VCPUs can be preempted at any time by
- the underlying hypervisor), but can also happen in bare-metal
- environments due to ECC errors, NMIs, and other hardware
- events.
- Although a delay of more than about 20 seconds can result
- in splats, the RCU implementation is obligated to use
- algorithms that can tolerate extremely long delays, but where
- &ldquo;extremely long&rdquo; is not long enough to allow
- wrap-around when incrementing a 64-bit counter.
-<li> Both the compiler and the CPU can reorder memory accesses.
- Where it matters, RCU must use compiler directives and
- memory-barrier instructions to preserve ordering.
-<li> Conflicting writes to memory locations in any given cache line
- will result in expensive cache misses.
- Greater numbers of concurrent writes and more-frequent
- concurrent writes will result in more dramatic slowdowns.
- RCU is therefore obligated to use algorithms that have
- sufficient locality to avoid significant performance and
- scalability problems.
-<li> As a rough rule of thumb, only one CPU's worth of processing
- may be carried out under the protection of any given exclusive
- lock.
- RCU must therefore use scalable locking designs.
-<li> Counters are finite, especially on 32-bit systems.
- RCU's use of counters must therefore tolerate counter wrap,
- or be designed such that counter wrap would take way more
- time than a single system is likely to run.
- An uptime of ten years is quite possible, a runtime
- of a century much less so.
- As an example of the latter, RCU's dyntick-idle nesting counter
- allows 54 bits for interrupt nesting level (this counter
- is 64 bits even on a 32-bit system).
- Overflowing this counter requires 2<sup>54</sup>
- half-interrupts on a given CPU without that CPU ever going idle.
- If a half-interrupt happened every microsecond, it would take
- 570 years of runtime to overflow this counter, which is currently
- believed to be an acceptably long time.
-<li> Linux systems can have thousands of CPUs running a single
- Linux kernel in a single shared-memory environment.
- RCU must therefore pay close attention to high-end scalability.
-</ol>
-
-<p>
-This last parallelism fact of life means that RCU must pay special
-attention to the preceding facts of life.
-The idea that Linux might scale to systems with thousands of CPUs would
-have been met with some skepticism in the 1990s, but these requirements
-would have otherwise have been unsurprising, even in the early 1990s.

-<h2><a name="Quality-of-Implementation Requirements">Quality-of-Implementation Requirements</a></h2>

-
-<h3><a name="Specialization">Specialization</a></h3>
-
-<p>
-RCU is and always has been intended primarily for read-mostly situations, as
-illustrated by the following figure.
-This means that RCU's read-side primitives are optimized, often at the
-expense of its update-side primitives.
-
-<p><img src="RCUApplicability.svg" alt="RCUApplicability.svg" width="70%"></p>
-
-<p>
-This focus on read-mostly situations means that RCU must interoperate
-with other synchronization primitives.
-For example, the <tt>add_gp()</tt> and <tt>remove_gp_synchronous()</tt>
-examples discussed earlier use RCU to protect readers and locking to
-coordinate updaters.
-However, the need extends much farther, requiring that a variety of
-synchronization primitives be legal within RCU read-side critical sections,
-including spinlocks, sequence locks, atomic operations, reference
-counters, and memory barriers.
-
-<p>@@QQ@@
-What about sleeping locks?
-<p>@@QQA@@
-These are forbidden within Linux-kernel RCU read-side critical sections
-because it is not legal to place a quiescent state (in this case,
-voluntary context switch) within an RCU read-side critical section.
-However, sleeping locks may be used within userspace RCU read-side critical
-sections, and also within Linux-kernel sleepable RCU
-<a href="#Sleepable RCU">(SRCU)</a>
-read-side critical sections.
-In addition, the -rt patchset turns spinlocks into a sleeping locks so
-that the corresponding critical sections can be preempted, which
-also means that these sleeplockified spinlocks (but not other sleeping locks!)
-may be acquire within -rt-Linux-kernel RCU read-side critical sections.
-
-<p>
-Note that it <i>is</i> legal for a normal RCU read-side critical section
-to conditionally acquire a sleeping locks (as in <tt>mutex_trylock()</tt>),
-but only as long as it does not loop indefinitely attempting to
-conditionally acquire that sleeping locks.
-The key point is that things like <tt>mutex_trylock()</tt>
-either return with the mutex held, or return an error indication if
-the mutex was not immediately available.
-Either way, <tt>mutex_trylock()</tt> returns immediately without sleeping.
-<p>@@QQE@@
-
-<p>
-It often comes as a surprise that many algorithms do not require a
-consistent view of data, but many can function in that mode,
-with network routing being the poster child.
-Internet routing algorithms take significant time to propagate
-updates, so that by the time an update arrives at a given system,
-that system has been sending network traffic the wrong way for
-a considerable length of time.
-Having a few threads continue to send traffic the wrong way for a
-few more milliseconds is clearly not a problem: In the worst case,
-TCP retransmissions will eventually get the data where it needs to go.
-In general, when tracking the state of the universe outside of the
-computer, some level of inconsistency must be tolerated due to
-speed-of-light delays if nothing else.
-
-<p>
-Furthermore, uncertainty about external state is inherent in many cases.
-For example, a pair of veternarians might use heartbeat to determine
-whether or not a given cat was alive.
-But how long should they wait after the last heartbeat to decide that
-the cat is in fact dead?
-Waiting less than 400 milliseconds makes no sense because this would
-mean that a relaxed cat would be considered to cycle between death
-and life more than 100 times per minute.
-Moreover, just as with human beings, a cat's heart might stop for
-some period of time, so the exact wait period is a judgment call.
-One of our pair of veternarians might wait 30 seconds before pronouncing
-the cat dead, while the other might insist on waiting a full minute.
-The two veternarians would then disagree on the state of the cat during
-the final 30 seconds of the minute following the last heartbeat, as
-fancifully illustrated below:
-
-<p><img src="2013-08-is-it-dead.png" alt="2013-08-is-it-dead.png" width="431"></p>
-
-<p>
-Interestingly enough, this same situation applies to hardware.
-When push comes to shove, how do we tell whether or not some
-external server has failed?
-We send messages to it periodically, and declare it failed if we
-don't receive a response within a given period of time.
-Policy decisions can usually tolerate short
-periods of inconsistency.
-The policy was decided some time ago, and is only now being put into
-effect, so a few milliseconds of delay is normally inconsequential.
-
-<p>
-However, there are algorithms that absolutely must see consistent data.
-For example, the translation between a user-level SystemV semaphore
-ID to the corresponding in-kernel data structure is protected by RCU,
-but it is absolutely forbidden to update a semaphore that has just been
-removed.
-In the Linux kernel, this need for consistency is accommodated by acquiring
-spinlocks located in the in-kernel data structure from within
-the RCU read-side critical section, and this is indicated by the
-green box in the figure above.
-Many other techniques may be used, and are in fact used within the
-Linux kernel.
-
-<p>
-In short, RCU is not required to maintain consistency, and other
-mechanisms may be used in concert with RCU when consistency is required.
-RCU's specialization allows it to do its job extremely well, and its
-ability to interoperate with other synchronization mechanisms allows
-the right mix of synchronization tools to be used for a given job.

-<h3><a name="Performance and Scalability">Performance and Scalability</a></h3>

-<a href="https://lkml.kernel.org/g/20090113221724.GA15307@linux.vnet.ibm.com">tiny RCU</a>
-was born.
-Josh Triplett has since taken over the small-memory banner with his
-<a href="https://tiny.wiki.kernel.org/">Linux kernel tinification</a>
-project, which resulted in
-<a href="#Sleepable RCU">SRCU</a>
-becoming optional for those kernels not needing it.
-
-<p>
-The remaining performance requirements are, for the most part,
-unsurprising.
-For example, in keeping with RCU's read-side specialization,
-<tt>rcu_dereference()</tt> should have negligible overhead (for
-example, suppression of a few minor compiler optimizations).
-Similarly, in non-preemptible environments, <tt>rcu_read_lock()</tt> and
-<tt>rcu_read_unlock()</tt> should have exactly zero overhead.
-
-<p>
-In preemptible environments, in the case where the RCU read-side
-critical section was not preempted (as will be the case for the
-highest-priority real-time process), <tt>rcu_read_lock()</tt> and
-<tt>rcu_read_unlock()</tt> should have minimal overhead.
-In particular, they should not contain atomic read-modify-write
-operations, memory-barrier instructions, preemption disabling,
-interrupt disabling, or backwards branches.
-However, in the case where the RCU read-side critical section was preempted,
-<tt>rcu_read_unlock()</tt> may acquire spinlocks and disable interrupts.
-This is why it is better to nest an RCU read-side critical section
-within a preempt-disable region than vice versa, at least in cases
-where that critical section is short enough to avoid unduly degrading
-real-time latencies.
-
-<p>
-The <tt>synchronize_rcu()</tt> grace-period-wait primitive is
-optimized for throughput.
-It may therefore incur several milliseconds of latency in addition to
-the duration of the longest RCU read-side critical section.
-On the other hand, multiple concurrent invocations of
-<tt>synchronize_rcu()</tt> are required to use batching optimizations
-so that they can be satisfied by a single underlying grace-period-wait
-operation.
-For example, in the Linux kernel, it is not unusual for a single
-grace-period-wait operation to serve more than
-<a href="https://www.usenix.org/conference/2004-usenix-annual-technical-conference/making-rcu-safe-deep-sub-millisecond-response">1,000 separate invocations</a>
-of <tt>synchronize_rcu()</tt>, thus amortizing the per-invocation
-overhead down to nearly zero.
-However, the grace-period optimization is also required to avoid
-measurable degradation of real-time scheduling and interrupt latencies.
-
-<p>
-In some cases, the multi-millisecond <tt>synchronize_rcu()</tt>
-latencies are unacceptable.
-In these cases, <tt>synchronize_rcu_expedited()</tt> may be used
-instead, reducing the grace-period latency down to a few tens of
-microseconds on small systems, at least in cases where the RCU read-side
-critical sections are short.
-There are currently no special latency requirements for
-<tt>synchronize_rcu_expedited()</tt> on large systems, but,
-consistent with the empirical nature of the RCU specification,
-that is subject to change.
-However, there most definitely are scalability requirements:
-A storm of <tt>synchronize_rcu_expedited()</tt> invocations on 4096
-CPUs should at least make reasonable forward progress.
-In return for its shorter latencies, <tt>synchronize_rcu_expedited()</tt>
-is permitted to impose modest degradation of real-time latency
-on non-idle online CPUs.
-That said, it will likely be necessary to take further steps to reduce this
-degradation, hopefully to roughly that of a scheduling-clock interrupt.
-
-<p>
-There are a number of situations where even
-<tt>synchronize_rcu_expedited()</tt>'s reduced grace-period
-latency is unacceptable.
-In these situations, the asynchronous <tt>call_rcu()</tt> can be
-used in place of <tt>synchronize_rcu()</tt> as follows:
-
-<blockquote>
-<pre>
- 1 struct foo {
- 2 int a;
- 3 int b;
- 4 struct rcu_head rh;
- 5 };
- 6
- 7 static void remove_gp_cb(struct rcu_head *rhp)
- 8 {
- 9 struct foo *p = container_of(rhp, struct foo, rh);
-10
-11 kfree(p);
-12 }
-13
-14 bool remove_gp_asynchronous(void)
-15 {
-16 struct foo *p;
-17
-18 spin_lock(&amp;gp_lock);
-19 p = rcu_dereference(gp);
-20 if (!p) {
-21 spin_unlock(&amp;gp_lock);
-22 return false;
-23 }
-24 rcu_assign_pointer(gp, NULL);
-25 call_rcu(&amp;p-&gt;rh, remove_gp_cb);
-26 spin_unlock(&amp;gp_lock);
-27 return true;
-28 }
-</pre>
-</blockquote>
-
-<p>
-A definition of <tt>struct foo</tt> is finally needed, and appears
-on lines&nbsp;1-5.
-The function <tt>remove_gp_cb()</tt> is passed to <tt>call_rcu()</tt>
-on line&nbsp;25, and will be invoked after the end of a subsequent
-grace period.
-This gets the same effect as <tt>remove_gp_synchronous()</tt>,
-but without forcing the updater to wait for a grace period to elapse.
-The <tt>call_rcu()</tt> function may be used in a number of
-situations where neither <tt>synchronize_rcu()</tt> nor
-<tt>synchronize_rcu_expedited()</tt> would be legal,
-including within preempt-disable code, <tt>local_bh_disable()</tt> code,
-interrupt-disable code, and interrupt handlers.
-However, even <tt>call_rcu()</tt> is illegal within NMI handlers.
-The callback function (<tt>remove_gp_cb()</tt> in this case) will be
-executed within softirq (software interrupt) environment within the
-Linux kernel,
-either within a real softirq handler or under the protection
-of <tt>local_bh_disable()</tt>.
-In both the Linux kernel and in userspace, it is bad practice to
-write an RCU callback function that takes too long.
-Long-running operations should be relegated to separate threads or
-(in the Linux kernel) workqueues.
-
-<p>@@QQ@@
-Why does line&nbsp;19 use <tt>rcu_access_pointer()</tt>?
-After all, <tt>call_rcu()</tt> on line&nbsp;25 stores into the
-structure, which would interact badly with concurrent insertions.
-Doesn't this mean that <tt>rcu_dereference()</tt> is required?
-<p>@@QQA@@
-Presumably the <tt>-&gt;gp_lock</tt> acquired on line&nbsp;18 excludes
-any changes, including any insertions that <tt>rcu_dereference()</tt>
-would protect against.
-Therefore, any insertions will be delayed until after <tt>-&gt;gp_lock</tt>
-is released on line&nbsp;25, which in turn means that
-<tt>rcu_access_pointer()</tt> suffices.
-<p>@@QQE@@
-
-<p>
-However, all that <tt>remove_gp_cb()</tt> is doing is
-invoking <tt>kfree()</tt> on the data element.
-This is a common idiom, and is supported by <tt>kfree_rcu()</tt>,
-which allows &ldquo;fire and forget&rdquo; operation as shown below:
-
-<blockquote>
-<pre>
- 1 struct foo {
- 2 int a;
- 3 int b;
- 4 struct rcu_head rh;
- 5 };
- 6
- 7 bool remove_gp_faf(void)
- 8 {
- 9 struct foo *p;

-18 kfree_rcu(p, rh);
-19 spin_unlock(&amp;gp_lock);
-20 return true;
-21 }
-</pre>
-</blockquote>
-
-<p>
-Note that <tt>remove_gp_faf()</tt> simply invokes
-<tt>kfree_rcu()</tt> and proceeds, without any need to pay any
-further attention to the subsequent grace period and <tt>kfree()</tt>.
-It is permissible to invoke <tt>kfree_rcu()</tt> from the same
-environments as for <tt>call_rcu()</tt>.
-Interestingly enough, DYNIX/ptx had the equivalents of
-<tt>call_rcu()</tt> and <tt>kfree_rcu()</tt>, but not
-<tt>synchronize_rcu()</tt>.
-This was due to the fact that RCU was not heavily used within DYNIX/ptx,
-so the very few places that needed something like
-<tt>synchronize_rcu()</tt> simply open-coded it.
-
-<p>@@QQ@@
-Earlier it was claimed that <tt>call_rcu()</tt> and
-<tt>kfree_rcu()</tt> allowed updaters to avoid being blocked
-by readers.
-But how can that be correct, given that the invocation of the callback
-and the freeing of the memory (respectively) must still wait for
-a grace period to elapse?
-<p>@@QQA@@
-We could define things this way, but keep in mind that this sort of
-definition would say that updates in garbage-collected languages
-cannot complete until the next time the garbage collector runs,
-which does not seem at all reasonable.
-The key point is that in most cases, an updater using either
-<tt>call_rcu()</tt> or <tt>kfree_rcu()</tt> can proceed to the
-next update as soon as it has invoked <tt>call_rcu()</tt> or
-<tt>kfree_rcu()</tt>, without having to wait for a subsequent
-grace period.
-<p>@@QQE@@
-
-<p>
-But what if the updater must wait for the completion of code to be
-executed after the end of the grace period, but has other tasks
-that can be carried out in the meantime?
-The polling-style <tt>get_state_synchronize_rcu()</tt> and
-<tt>cond_synchronize_rcu()</tt> functions may be used for this
-purpose, as shown below:
-
-<blockquote>
-<pre>
- 1 bool remove_gp_poll(void)
- 2 {
- 3 struct foo *p;
- 4 unsigned long s;
- 5
- 6 spin_lock(&amp;gp_lock);
- 7 p = rcu_access_pointer(gp);
- 8 if (!p) {
- 9 spin_unlock(&amp;gp_lock);
-10 return false;
-11 }
-12 rcu_assign_pointer(gp, NULL);
-13 spin_unlock(&amp;gp_lock);
-14 s = get_state_synchronize_rcu();
-15 do_something_while_waiting();
-16 cond_synchronize_rcu(s);
-17 kfree(p);
-18 return true;
-19 }
-</pre>
-</blockquote>
-
-<p>
-On line&nbsp;14, <tt>get_state_synchronize_rcu()</tt> obtains a
-&ldquo;cookie&rdquo; from RCU,
-then line&nbsp;15 carries out other tasks,
-and finally, line&nbsp;16 returns immediately if a grace period has
-elapsed in the meantime, but otherwise waits as required.
-The need for <tt>get_state_synchronize_rcu</tt> and
-<tt>cond_synchronize_rcu()</tt> has appeared quite recently,
-so it is too early to tell whether they will stand the test of time.
-
-<p>
-RCU thus provides a range of tools to allow updaters to strike the
-required tradeoff between latency, flexibility and CPU overhead.
-
-<h3><a name="Composability">Composability</a></h3>
-
-<p>
-Composability has received much attention in recent years, perhaps in part
-due to the collision of multicore hardware with object-oriented techniques
-designed in single-threaded environments for single-threaded use.
-And in theory, RCU read-side critical sections may be composed, and in
-fact may be nested arbitrarily deeply.
-In practice, as with all real-world implementations of composable
-constructs, there are limitations.
-
-<p>
-Implementations of RCU for which <tt>rcu_read_lock()</tt>
-and <tt>rcu_read_unlock()</tt> generate no code, such as
-Linux-kernel RCU when <tt>CONFIG_PREEMPT=n</tt>, can be
-nested arbitrarily deeply.
-After all, there is no overhead.
-Except that if all these instances of <tt>rcu_read_lock()</tt>
-and <tt>rcu_read_unlock()</tt> are visible to the compiler,
-compilation will eventually fail due to exhausting memory,
-mass storage, or user patience, whichever comes first.
-If the nesting is not visible to the compiler, as is the case with
-mutually recursive functions each in its own translation unit,
-stack overflow will result.
-If the nesting takes the form of loops, either the control variable
-will overflow or (in the Linux kernel) you will get an RCU CPU stall warning.
-Nevertheless, this class of RCU implementations is one
-of the most composable constructs in existence.
-
-<p>
-RCU implementations that explicitly track nesting depth
-are limited by the nesting-depth counter.
-For example, the Linux kernel's preemptible RCU limits nesting to
-<tt>INT_MAX</tt>.
-This should suffice for almost all practical purposes.
-That said, a consecutive pair of RCU read-side critical sections
-between which there is an operation that waits for a grace period
-cannot be enclosed in another RCU read-side critical section.
-This is because it is not legal to wait for a grace period within
-an RCU read-side critical section: To do so would result either
-in deadlock or
-in RCU implicitly splitting the enclosing RCU read-side critical
-section, neither of which is conducive to a long-lived and prosperous
-kernel.
-
-<p>
-It is worth noting that RCU is not alone in limiting composability.
-For example, many transactional-memory implementations prohibit
-composing a pair of transactions separated by an irrevocable
-operation (for example, a network receive operation).
-For another example, lock-based critical sections can be composed
-surprisingly freely, but only if deadlock is avoided.
-
-<p>
-In short, although RCU read-side critical sections are highly composable,
-care is required in some situations, just as is the case for any other
-composable synchronization mechanism.
-
-<h3><a name="Corner Cases">Corner Cases</a></h3>
-
-<p>
-A given RCU workload might have an endless and intense stream of
-RCU read-side critical sections, perhaps even so intense that there
-was never a point in time during which there was not at least one
-RCU read-side critical section in flight.
-RCU cannot allow this situation to block grace periods: As long as
-all the RCU read-side critical sections are finite, grace periods
-must also be finite.
-
-<p>
-That said, preemptible RCU implementations could potentially result
-in RCU read-side critical sections being preempted for long durations,
-which has the effect of creating a long-duration RCU read-side
-critical section.
-This situation can arise only in heavily loaded systems, but systems using
-real-time priorities are of course more vulnerable.
-Therefore, RCU priority boosting is provided to help deal with this
-case.
-That said, the exact requirements on RCU priority boosting will likely
-evolve as more experience accumulates.
-
-<p>
-Other workloads might have very high update rates.
-Although one can argue that such workloads should instead use
-something other than RCU, the fact remains that RCU must
-handle such workloads gracefully.
-This requirement is another factor driving batching of grace periods,
-but it is also the driving force behind the checks for large numbers
-of queued RCU callbacks in the <tt>call_rcu()</tt> code path.
-Finally, high update rates should not delay RCU read-side critical
-sections, although some read-side delays can occur when using
-<tt>synchronize_rcu_expedited()</tt>, courtesy of this function's use
-of <tt>try_stop_cpus()</tt>.
-(In the future, <tt>synchronize_rcu_expedited()</tt> will be
-converted to use lighter-weight inter-processor interrupts (IPIs),
-but this will still disturb readers, though to a much smaller degree.)
-
-<p>
-Although all three of these corner cases were understood in the early
-1990s, a simple user-level test consisting of <tt>close(open(path))</tt>
-in a tight loop
-in the early 2000s suddenly provided a much deeper appreciation of the
-high-update-rate corner case.
-This test also motivated addition of some RCU code to react to high update
-rates, for example, if a given CPU finds itself with more than 10,000
-RCU callbacks queued, it will cause RCU to take evasive action by
-more aggressively starting grace periods and more aggressively forcing
-completion of grace-period processing.
-This evasive action causes the grace period to complete more quickly,
-but at the cost of restricting RCU's batching optimizations, thus
-increasing the CPU overhead incurred by that grace period.

-<h2><a name="Software-Engineering Requirements">
-Software-Engineering Requirements</a></h2>
-
-<p>
-Between Murphy's Law and &ldquo;To err is human&rdquo;, it is necessary to
-guard against mishaps and misuse:
-
-<ol>
-<li> It is all too easy to forget to use <tt>rcu_read_lock()</tt>
- everywhere that it is needed, so kernels built with
- <tt>CONFIG_PROVE_RCU=y</tt> will spat if
- <tt>rcu_dereference()</tt> is used outside of an
- RCU read-side critical section.
- Update-side code can use <tt>rcu_dereference_protected()</tt>,
- which takes a
- <a href="https://lwn.net/Articles/371986/">lockdep expression</a>
- to indicate what is providing the protection.
- If the indicated protection is not provided, a lockdep splat
- is emitted.
-
- <p>
- Code shared between readers and updaters can use
- <tt>rcu_dereference_check()</tt>, which also takes a
- lockdep expression, and emits a lockdep splat if neither
- <tt>rcu_read_lock()</tt> nor the indicated protection
- is in place.
- In addition, <tt>rcu_dereference_raw()</tt> is used in those
- (hopefully rare) cases where the required protection cannot
- be easily described.
- Finally, <tt>rcu_read_lock_held()</tt> is provided to
- allow a function to verify that it has been invoked within
- an RCU read-side critical section.
- I was made aware of this set of requirements shortly after Thomas
- Gleixner audited a number of RCU uses.
-<li> A given function might wish to check for RCU-related preconditions
- upon entry, before using any other RCU API.
- The <tt>rcu_lockdep_assert()</tt> does this job,
- asserting the expression in kernels having lockdep enabled
- and doing nothing otherwise.
-<li> It is also easy to forget to use <tt>rcu_assign_pointer()</tt>
- and <tt>rcu_dereference()</tt>, perhaps (incorrectly)
- substituting a simple assignment.
- To catch this sort of error, a given RCU-protected pointer may be
- tagged with <tt>__rcu</tt>, after which running sparse
- with <tt>CONFIG_SPARSE_RCU_POINTER=y</tt> will complain
- about simple-assignment accesses to that pointer.
- Arnd Bergmann made me aware of this requirement, and also
- supplied the needed
- <a href="https://lwn.net/Articles/376011/">patch series</a>.
-<li> Kernels built with <tt>CONFIG_DEBUG_OBJECTS_RCU_HEAD=y</tt>
- will splat if a data element is passed to <tt>call_rcu()</tt>
- twice in a row, without a grace period in between.
- (This error is similar to a double free.)
- The corresponding <tt>rcu_head</tt> structures that are
- dynamically allocated are automatically tracked, but
- <tt>rcu_head</tt> structures allocated on the stack
- must be initialized with <tt>init_rcu_head_on_stack()</tt>
- and cleaned up with <tt>destroy_rcu_head_on_stack()</tt>.
- Similarly, statically allocated non-stack <tt>rcu_head</tt>
- structures must be initialized with <tt>init_rcu_head()</tt>
- and cleaned up with <tt>destroy_rcu_head()</tt>.
- Mathieu Desnoyers made me aware of this requirement, and also
- supplied the needed
- <a href="https://lkml.kernel.org/g/20100319013024.GA28456@Krystal">patch</a>.
-<li> An infinite loop in an RCU read-side critical section will
- eventually trigger an RCU CPU stall warning splat, with
- the duration of &ldquo;eventually&rdquo; being controlled by the
- <tt>RCU_CPU_STALL_TIMEOUT</tt> <tt>Kconfig</tt> option, or,
- alternatively, by the
- <tt>rcupdate.rcu_cpu_stall_timeout</tt> boot/sysfs
- parameter.
- However, RCU is not obligated to produce this splat
- unless there is a grace period waiting on that particular
- RCU read-side critical section.
- <p>
- Some extreme workloads might intentionally delay
- RCU grace periods, and systems running those workloads can
- be booted with <tt>rcupdate.rcu_cpu_stall_suppress</tt>
- to suppress the splats.
- This kernel parameter may also be set via <tt>sysfs</tt>.
- Furthermore, RCU CPU stall warnings are counter-productive
- during sysrq dumps and during panics.
- RCU therefore supplies the <tt>rcu_sysrq_start()</tt> and
- <tt>rcu_sysrq_end()</tt> API members to be called before
- and after long sysrq dumps.
- RCU also supplies the <tt>rcu_panic()</tt> notifier that is
- automatically invoked at the beginning of a panic to suppress
- further RCU CPU stall warnings.
-
- <p>
- This requirement made itself known in the early 1990s, pretty
- much the first time that it was necessary to debug a CPU stall.
- That said, the initial implementation in DYNIX/ptx was quite
- generic in comparison with that of Linux.
-<li> Although it would be very good to detect pointers leaking out
- of RCU read-side critical sections, there is currently no
- good way of doing this.
- One complication is the need to distinguish between pointers
- leaking and pointers that have been handed off from RCU to
- some other synchronization mechanism, for example, reference
- counting.
-<li> In kernels built with <tt>CONFIG_RCU_TRACE=y</tt>, RCU-related
- information is provided via both debugfs and event tracing.
-<li> Open-coded use of <tt>rcu_assign_pointer()</tt> and
- <tt>rcu_dereference()</tt> to create typical linked
- data structures can be surprisingly error-prone.
- Therefore, RCU-protected
- <a href="https://lwn.net/Articles/609973/#RCU List APIs">linked lists</a>
- and, more recently, RCU-protected
- <a href="https://lwn.net/Articles/612100/">hash tables</a>
- are available.
- Many other special-purpose RCU-protected data structures are
- available in the Linux kernel and the userspace RCU library.
-<li> Some linked structures are created at compile time, but still
- require <tt>__rcu</tt> checking.
- The <tt>RCU_POINTER_INITIALIZER()</tt> macro serves this
- purpose.
-<li> It is not necessary to use <tt>rcu_assign_pointer()</tt>
- when creating linked structures that are to be published via
- a single external pointer.
- The <tt>RCU_INIT_POINTER()</tt> macro is provided for
- this task and also for assigning <tt>NULL</tt> pointers
- at runtime.

-<p>
-This list is probably incomplete, but it does give a feel for the
-most notable Linux-kernel complications.
-Each of the following sections covers one of the above topics.
-
-<h3><a name="Configuration">Configuration</a></h3>
-
-<p>
-RCU's goal is automatic configuration, so that almost nobody
-needs to worry about RCU's <tt>Kconfig</tt> options.
-And for almost all users, RCU does in fact work well
-&ldquo;out of the box.&rdquo;
-
-<p>
-However, there are specialized use cases that are handled by
-kernel boot parameters and <tt>Kconfig</tt> options.
-Unfortunately, the <tt>Kconfig</tt> system will explicitly ask users
-about new <tt>Kconfig</tt> options, which requires almost all of them
-be hidden behind a <tt>CONFIG_RCU_EXPERT</tt> <tt>Kconfig</tt> option.
-
-<p>
-This all should be quite obvious, but the fact remains that
-Linus Torvalds recently had to
-<a href="https://lkml.kernel.org/g/CA+55aFy4wcCwaL4okTs8wXhGZ5h-ibecy_Meg9C4MNQrUnwMcg@mail.gmail.com">remind</a>
-me of this requirement.
-
-<h3><a name="Firmware Interface">Firmware Interface</a></h3>
-
-<p>
-In many cases, kernel obtains information about the system from the
-firmware, and sometimes things are lost in translation.
-Or the translation is accurate, but the original message is bogus.
-
-<p>
-For example, some systems' firmware overreports the number of CPUs,
-sometimes by a large factor.
-If RCU naively believed the firmware, as it used to do,
-it would create too many per-CPU kthreads.
-Although the resulting system will still run correctly, the extra
-kthreads needlessly consume memory and can cause confusion
-when they show up in <tt>ps</tt> listings.
-
-<p>
-RCU must therefore wait for a given CPU to actually come online before
-it can allow itself to believe that the CPU actually exists.
-The resulting &ldquo;ghost CPUs&rdquo; (which are never going to
-come online) cause a number of
-<a href="https://paulmck.livejournal.com/37494.html">interesting complications</a>.
-
-<h3><a name="Early Boot">Early Boot</a></h3>
-
-<p>
-The Linux kernel's boot sequence is an interesting process,
-and RCU is used early, even before <tt>rcu_init()</tt>
-is invoked.
-In fact, a number of RCU's primitives can be used as soon as the
-initial task's <tt>task_struct</tt> is available and the
-boot CPU's per-CPU variables are set up.
-The read-side primitives (<tt>rcu_read_lock()</tt>,
-<tt>rcu_read_unlock()</tt>, <tt>rcu_dereference()</tt>,
-and <tt>rcu_access_pointer()</tt>) will operate normally very early on,
-as will <tt>rcu_assign_pointer()</tt>.
-
-<p>
-Although <tt>call_rcu()</tt> may be invoked at any
-time during boot, callbacks are not guaranteed to be invoked until after
-the scheduler is fully up and running.
-This delay in callback invocation is due to the fact that RCU does not
-invoke callbacks until it is fully initialized, and this full initialization
-cannot occur until after the scheduler has initialized itself to the
-point where RCU can spawn and run its kthreads.
-In theory, it would be possible to invoke callbacks earlier,
-however, this is not a panacea because there would be severe restrictions
-on what operations those callbacks could invoke.
-
-<p>
-Perhaps surprisingly, <tt>synchronize_rcu()</tt>,
-<a href="#Bottom-Half Flavor"><tt>synchronize_rcu_bh()</tt></a>
-(<a href="#Bottom-Half Flavor">discussed below</a>),
-and
-<a href="#Sched Flavor"><tt>synchronize_sched()</tt></a>
-will all operate normally
-during very early boot, the reason being that there is only one CPU
-and preemption is disabled.
-This means that the call <tt>synchronize_rcu()</tt> (or friends)
-itself is a quiescent
-state and thus a grace period, so the early-boot implementation can
-be a no-op.
-
-<p>
-Both <tt>synchronize_rcu_bh()</tt> and <tt>synchronize_sched()</tt>
-continue to operate normally through the remainder of boot, courtesy
-of the fact that preemption is disabled across their RCU read-side
-critical sections and also courtesy of the fact that there is still
-only one CPU.
-However, once the scheduler starts initializing, preemption is enabled.
-There is still only a single CPU, but the fact that preemption is enabled
-means that the no-op implementation of <tt>synchronize_rcu()</tt> no
-longer works in <tt>CONFIG_PREEMPT=y</tt> kernels.
-Therefore, as soon as the scheduler starts initializing, the early-boot
-fastpath is disabled.
-This means that <tt>synchronize_rcu()</tt> switches to its runtime
-mode of operation where it posts callbacks, which in turn means that
-any call to <tt>synchronize_rcu()</tt> will block until the corresponding
-callback is invoked.
-Unfortunately, the callback cannot be invoked until RCU's runtime
-grace-period machinery is up and running, which cannot happen until
-the scheduler has initialized itself sufficiently to allow RCU's
-kthreads to be spawned.
-Therefore, invoking <tt>synchronize_rcu()</tt> during scheduler
-initialization can result in deadlock.
-
-<p>@@QQ@@
-So what happens with <tt>synchronize_rcu()</tt> during
-scheduler initialization for <tt>CONFIG_PREEMPT=n</tt>
-kernels?
-<p>@@QQA@@
-In <tt>CONFIG_PREEMPT=n</tt> kernel, <tt>synchronize_rcu()</tt>
-maps directly to <tt>synchronize_sched()</tt>.
-Therefore, <tt>synchronize_rcu()</tt> works normally throughout
-boot in <tt>CONFIG_PREEMPT=n</tt> kernels.
-However, your code must also work in <tt>CONFIG_PREEMPT=y</tt> kernels,
-so it is still necessary to avoid invoking <tt>synchronize_rcu()</tt>
-during scheduler initialization.

-I learned of these boot-time requirements as a result of a series of
-system hangs.
-
-<h3><a name="Interrupts and NMIs">Interrupts and NMIs</a></h3>
-
-<p>
-The Linux kernel has interrupts, and RCU read-side critical sections are
-legal within interrupt handlers and within interrupt-disabled regions
-of code, as are invocations of <tt>call_rcu()</tt>.
-
-<p>
-Some Linux-kernel architectures can enter an interrupt handler from
-non-idle process context, and then just never leave it, instead stealthily
-transitioning back to process context.
-This trick is sometimes used to invoke system calls from inside the kernel.
-These &ldquo;half-interrupts&rdquo; mean that RCU has to be very careful
-about how it counts interrupt nesting levels.
-I learned of this requirement the hard way during a rewrite
-of RCU's dyntick-idle code.
-
-<p>
-The Linux kernel has non-maskable interrupts (NMIs), and
-RCU read-side critical sections are legal within NMI handlers.
-Thankfully, RCU update-side primitives, including
-<tt>call_rcu()</tt>, are prohibited within NMI handlers.
-
-<p>
-The name notwithstanding, some Linux-kernel architectures
-can have nested NMIs, which RCU must handle correctly.
-Andy Lutomirski
-<a href="https://lkml.kernel.org/g/CALCETrXLq1y7e_dKFPgou-FKHB6Pu-r8+t-6Ds+8=va7anBWDA@mail.gmail.com">surprised me</a>
-with this requirement;
-he also kindly surprised me with
-<a href="https://lkml.kernel.org/g/CALCETrXSY9JpW3uE6H8WYk81sg56qasA2aqmjMPsq5dOtzso=g@mail.gmail.com">an algorithm</a>
-that meets this requirement.
-
-<h3><a name="Loadable Modules">Loadable Modules</a></h3>
-
-<p>
-The Linux kernel has loadable modules, and these modules can
-also be unloaded.
-After a given module has been unloaded, any attempt to call
-one of its functions results in a segmentation fault.
-The module-unload functions must therefore cancel any
-delayed calls to loadable-module functions, for example,
-any outstanding <tt>mod_timer()</tt> must be dealt with
-via <tt>del_timer_sync()</tt> or similar.
-
-<p>
-Unfortunately, there is no way to cancel an RCU callback;
-once you invoke <tt>call_rcu()</tt>, the callback function is
-going to eventually be invoked, unless the system goes down first.
-Because it is normally considered socially irresponsible to crash the system
-in response to a module unload request, we need some other way
-to deal with in-flight RCU callbacks.
-
-<p>
-RCU therefore provides
-<tt><a href="https://lwn.net/Articles/217484/">rcu_barrier()</a></tt>,
-which waits until all in-flight RCU callbacks have been invoked.
-If a module uses <tt>call_rcu()</tt>, its exit function should therefore
-prevent any future invocation of <tt>call_rcu()</tt>, then invoke
-<tt>rcu_barrier()</tt>.
-In theory, the underlying module-unload code could invoke
-<tt>rcu_barrier()</tt> unconditionally, but in practice this would
-incur unacceptable latencies.
-
-<p>
-Nikita Danilov noted this requirement for an analogous filesystem-unmount
-situation, and Dipankar Sarma incorporated <tt>rcu_barrier()</tt> into RCU.
-The need for <tt>rcu_barrier()</tt> for module unloading became
-apparent later.
-
-<h3><a name="Hotplug CPU">Hotplug CPU</a></h3>
-
-<p>
-The Linux kernel supports CPU hotplug, which means that CPUs
-can come and go.
-It is of course illegal to use any RCU API member from an offline CPU.
-This requirement was present from day one in DYNIX/ptx, but
-on the other hand, the Linux kernel's CPU-hotplug implementation
-is &ldquo;interesting.&rdquo;
-
-<p>
-The Linux-kernel CPU-hotplug implementation has notifiers that
-are used to allow the various kernel subsystems (including RCU)
-to respond appropriately to a given CPU-hotplug operation.
-Most RCU operations may be invoked from CPU-hotplug notifiers,
-including even normal synchronous grace-period operations
-such as <tt>synchronize_rcu()</tt>.
-However, expedited grace-period operations such as
-<tt>synchronize_rcu_expedited()</tt> are not supported,
-due to the fact that current implementations block CPU-hotplug
-operations, which could result in deadlock.
-
-<p>
-In addition, all-callback-wait operations such as
-<tt>rcu_barrier()</tt> are also not supported, due to the
-fact that there are phases of CPU-hotplug operations where
-the outgoing CPU's callbacks will not be invoked until after
-the CPU-hotplug operation ends, which could also result in deadlock.
-
-<h3><a name="Scheduler and RCU">Scheduler and RCU</a></h3>
-
-<p>
-RCU depends on the scheduler, and the scheduler uses RCU to
-protect some of its data structures.
-This means the scheduler is forbidden from acquiring
-the runqueue locks and the priority-inheritance locks
-in the middle of an outermost RCU read-side critical section unless either
-(1)&nbsp;it releases them before exiting that same
-RCU read-side critical section, or
-(2)&nbsp;interrupts are disabled across
-that entire RCU read-side critical section.
-This same prohibition also applies (recursively!) to any lock that is acquired
-while holding any lock to which this prohibition applies.
-Adhering to this rule prevents preemptible RCU from invoking
-<tt>rcu_read_unlock_special()</tt> while either runqueue or
-priority-inheritance locks are held, thus avoiding deadlock.
-
-<p>
-Prior to v4.4, it was only necessary to disable preemption across
-RCU read-side critical sections that acquired scheduler locks.
-In v4.4, expedited grace periods started using IPIs, and these
-IPIs could force a <tt>rcu_read_unlock()</tt> to take the slowpath.
-Therefore, this expedited-grace-period change required disabling of
-interrupts, not just preemption.
-
-<p>
-For RCU's part, the preemptible-RCU <tt>rcu_read_unlock()</tt>
-implementation must be written carefully to avoid similar deadlocks.
-In particular, <tt>rcu_read_unlock()</tt> must tolerate an
-interrupt where the interrupt handler invokes both
-<tt>rcu_read_lock()</tt> and <tt>rcu_read_unlock()</tt>.
-This possibility requires <tt>rcu_read_unlock()</tt> to use
-negative nesting levels to avoid destructive recursion via
-interrupt handler's use of RCU.
-
-<p>
-This pair of mutual scheduler-RCU requirements came as a
-<a href="https://lwn.net/Articles/453002/">complete surprise</a>.
-
-<p>
-As noted above, RCU makes use of kthreads, and it is necessary to
-avoid excessive CPU-time accumulation by these kthreads.
-This requirement was no surprise, but RCU's violation of it
-when running context-switch-heavy workloads when built with
-<tt>CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL=y</tt>
-<a href="http://www.rdrop.com/users/paulmck/scalability/paper/BareMetal.2015.01.15b.pdf">did come as a surprise [PDF]</a>.
-RCU has made good progress towards meeting this requirement, even
-for context-switch-have <tt>CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL=y</tt> workloads,
-but there is room for further improvement.
-
-<h3><a name="Tracing and RCU">Tracing and RCU</a></h3>
-
-<p>
-It is possible to use tracing on RCU code, but tracing itself
-uses RCU.
-For this reason, <tt>rcu_dereference_raw_notrace()</tt>
-is provided for use by tracing, which avoids the destructive
-recursion that could otherwise ensue.
-This API is also used by virtualization in some architectures,
-where RCU readers execute in environments in which tracing
-cannot be used.
-The tracing folks both located the requirement and provided the
-needed fix, so this surprise requirement was relatively painless.
-
-<h3><a name="Energy Efficiency">Energy Efficiency</a></h3>
-
-<p>
-Interrupting idle CPUs is considered socially unacceptable,
-especially by people with battery-powered embedded systems.
-RCU therefore conserves energy by detecting which CPUs are
-idle, including tracking CPUs that have been interrupted from idle.
-This is a large part of the energy-efficiency requirement,
-so I learned of this via an irate phone call.
-
-<p>
-Because RCU avoids interrupting idle CPUs, it is illegal to
-execute an RCU read-side critical section on an idle CPU.
-(Kernels built with <tt>CONFIG_PROVE_RCU=y</tt> will splat
-if you try it.)
-The <tt>RCU_NONIDLE()</tt> macro and <tt>_rcuidle</tt>
-event tracing is provided to work around this restriction.
-In addition, <tt>rcu_is_watching()</tt> may be used to
-test whether or not it is currently legal to run RCU read-side
-critical sections on this CPU.
-I learned of the need for diagnostics on the one hand
-and <tt>RCU_NONIDLE()</tt> on the other while inspecting
-idle-loop code.
-Steven Rostedt supplied <tt>_rcuidle</tt> event tracing,
-which is used quite heavily in the idle loop.
-
-<p>
-It is similarly socially unacceptable to interrupt an
-<tt>nohz_full</tt> CPU running in userspace.
-RCU must therefore track <tt>nohz_full</tt> userspace
-execution.
-And in
-<a href="https://lwn.net/Articles/558284/"><tt>CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL_SYSIDLE=y</tt></a>
-kernels, RCU must separately track idle CPUs on the one hand and
-CPUs that are either idle or executing in userspace on the other.
-In both cases, RCU must be able to sample state at two points in
-time, and be able to determine whether or not some other CPU spent
-any time idle and/or executing in userspace.
-
-<p>
-These energy-efficiency requirements have proven quite difficult to
-understand and to meet, for example, there have been more than five
-clean-sheet rewrites of RCU's energy-efficiency code, the last of
-which was finally able to demonstrate
-<a href="http://www.rdrop.com/users/paulmck/realtime/paper/AMPenergy.2013.04.19a.pdf">real energy savings running on real hardware [PDF]</a>.
-As noted earlier,
-I learned of many of these requirements via angry phone calls:
-Flaming me on the Linux-kernel mailing list was apparently not
-sufficient to fully vent their ire at RCU's energy-efficiency bugs!
-
-<h3><a name="Memory Efficiency">Memory Efficiency</a></h3>
-
-<p>
-Although small-memory non-realtime systems can simply use Tiny RCU,
-code size is only one aspect of memory efficiency.
-Another aspect is the size of the <tt>rcu_head</tt> structure
-used by <tt>call_rcu()</tt> and <tt>kfree_rcu()</tt>.
-Although this structure contains nothing more than a pair of pointers,
-it does appear in many RCU-protected data structures, including
-some that are size critical.
-The <tt>page</tt> structure is a case in point, as evidenced by
-the many occurrences of the <tt>union</tt> keyword within that structure.
-
-<p>
-This need for memory efficiency is one reason that RCU uses hand-crafted
-singly linked lists to track the <tt>rcu_head</tt> structures that
-are waiting for a grace period to elapse.
-It is also the reason why <tt>rcu_head</tt> structures do not contain
-debug information, such as fields tracking the file and line of the
-<tt>call_rcu()</tt> or <tt>kfree_rcu()</tt> that posted them.
-Although this information might appear in debug-only kernel builds at some
-point, in the meantime, the <tt>-&gt;func</tt> field will often provide
-the needed debug information.
-
-<p>
-However, in some cases, the need for memory efficiency leads to even
-more extreme measures.
-Returning to the <tt>page</tt> structure, the <tt>rcu_head</tt> field
-shares storage with a great many other structures that are used at
-various points in the corresponding page's lifetime.
-In order to correctly resolve certain
-<a href="https://lkml.kernel.org/g/1439976106-137226-1-git-send-email-kirill.shutemov@linux.intel.com">race conditions</a>,
-the Linux kernel's memory-management subsystem needs a particular bit
-to remain zero during all phases of grace-period processing,
-and that bit happens to map to the bottom bit of the
-<tt>rcu_head</tt> structure's <tt>-&gt;next</tt> field.
-RCU makes this guarantee as long as <tt>call_rcu()</tt>
-is used to post the callback, as opposed to <tt>kfree_rcu()</tt>
-or some future &ldquo;lazy&rdquo;
-variant of <tt>call_rcu()</tt> that might one day be created for
-energy-efficiency purposes.
-
-<h3><a name="Performance, Scalability, Response Time, and Reliability">
-Performance, Scalability, Response Time, and Reliability</a></h3>
-
-<p>
-Expanding on the
-<a href="#Performance and Scalability">earlier discussion</a>,
-RCU is used heavily by hot code paths in performance-critical
-portions of the Linux kernel's networking, security, virtualization,
-and scheduling code paths.
-RCU must therefore use efficient implementations, especially in its
-read-side primitives.
-To that end, it would be good if preemptible RCU's implementation
-of <tt>rcu_read_lock()</tt> could be inlined, however, doing
-this requires resolving <tt>#include</tt> issues with the
-<tt>task_struct</tt> structure.
-
-<p>
-The Linux kernel supports hardware configurations with up to
-4096 CPUs, which means that RCU must be extremely scalable.
-Algorithms that involve frequent acquisitions of global locks or
-frequent atomic operations on global variables simply cannot be
-tolerated within the RCU implementation.
-RCU therefore makes heavy use of a combining tree based on the
-<tt>rcu_node</tt> structure.
-RCU is required to tolerate all CPUs continuously invoking any
-combination of RCU's runtime primitives with minimal per-operation
-overhead.
-In fact, in many cases, increasing load must <i>decrease</i> the
-per-operation overhead, witness the batching optimizations for
-<tt>synchronize_rcu()</tt>, <tt>call_rcu()</tt>,
-<tt>synchronize_rcu_expedited()</tt>, and <tt>rcu_barrier()</tt>.
-As a general rule, RCU must cheerfully accept whatever the
-rest of the Linux kernel decides to throw at it.
-
-<p>
-The Linux kernel is used for real-time workloads, especially
-in conjunction with the
-<a href="https://rt.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Main_Page">-rt patchset</a>.
-The real-time-latency response requirements are such that the
-traditional approach of disabling preemption across RCU
-read-side critical sections is inappropriate.
-Kernels built with <tt>CONFIG_PREEMPT=y</tt> therefore
-use an RCU implementation that allows RCU read-side critical
-sections to be preempted.
-This requirement made its presence known after users made it
-clear that an earlier
-<a href="https://lwn.net/Articles/107930/">real-time patch</a>
-did not meet their needs, in conjunction with some
-<a href="https://lkml.kernel.org/g/20050318002026.GA2693@us.ibm.com">RCU issues</a>
-encountered by a very early version of the -rt patchset.
-
-<p>
-In addition, RCU must make do with a sub-100-microsecond real-time latency
-budget.
-In fact, on smaller systems with the -rt patchset, the Linux kernel
-provides sub-20-microsecond real-time latencies for the whole kernel,
-including RCU.
-RCU's scalability and latency must therefore be sufficient for
-these sorts of configurations.
-To my surprise, the sub-100-microsecond real-time latency budget
-<a href="http://www.rdrop.com/users/paulmck/realtime/paper/bigrt.2013.01.31a.LCA.pdf">
-applies to even the largest systems [PDF]</a>,
-up to and including systems with 4096 CPUs.
-This real-time requirement motivated the grace-period kthread, which
-also simplified handling of a number of race conditions.
-
-<p>
-Finally, RCU's status as a synchronization primitive means that
-any RCU failure can result in arbitrary memory corruption that can be
-extremely difficult to debug.
-This means that RCU must be extremely reliable, which in
-practice also means that RCU must have an aggressive stress-test
-suite.
-This stress-test suite is called <tt>rcutorture</tt>.
-
-<p>
-Although the need for <tt>rcutorture</tt> was no surprise,
-the current immense popularity of the Linux kernel is posing
-interesting&mdash;and perhaps unprecedented&mdash;validation
-challenges.
-To see this, keep in mind that there are well over one billion
-instances of the Linux kernel running today, given Android
-smartphones, Linux-powered televisions, and servers.
-This number can be expected to increase sharply with the advent of
-the celebrated Internet of Things.
-
-<p>
-Suppose that RCU contains a race condition that manifests on average
-once per million years of runtime.
-This bug will be occurring about three times per <i>day</i> across
-the installed base.
-RCU could simply hide behind hardware error rates, given that no one
-should really expect their smartphone to last for a million years.
-However, anyone taking too much comfort from this thought should
-consider the fact that in most jurisdictions, a successful multi-year
-test of a given mechanism, which might include a Linux kernel,
-suffices for a number of types of safety-critical certifications.
-In fact, rumor has it that the Linux kernel is already being used
-in production for safety-critical applications.
-I don't know about you, but I would feel quite bad if a bug in RCU
-killed someone.
-Which might explain my recent focus on validation and verification.
-
-<h2><a name="Other RCU Flavors">Other RCU Flavors</a></h2>
-
-<p>
-One of the more surprising things about RCU is that there are now
-no fewer than five <i>flavors</i>, or API families.
-In addition, the primary flavor that has been the sole focus up to
-this point has two different implementations, non-preemptible and
-preemptible.
-The other four flavors are listed below, with requirements for each
-described in a separate section.

-<h3><a name="Bottom-Half Flavor">Bottom-Half Flavor</a></h3>
-
-<p>
-The softirq-disable (AKA &ldquo;bottom-half&rdquo;,
-hence the &ldquo;_bh&rdquo; abbreviations)
-flavor of RCU, or <i>RCU-bh</i>, was developed by
-Dipankar Sarma to provide a flavor of RCU that could withstand the
-network-based denial-of-service attacks researched by Robert
-Olsson.
-These attacks placed so much networking load on the system
-that some of the CPUs never exited softirq execution,
-which in turn prevented those CPUs from ever executing a context switch,
-which, in the RCU implementation of that time, prevented grace periods
-from ever ending.
-The result was an out-of-memory condition and a system hang.
-
-<p>
-The solution was the creation of RCU-bh, which does
-<tt>local_bh_disable()</tt>
-across its read-side critical sections, and which uses the transition
-from one type of softirq processing to another as a quiescent state
-in addition to context switch, idle, user mode, and offline.
-This means that RCU-bh grace periods can complete even when some of
-the CPUs execute in softirq indefinitely, thus allowing algorithms
-based on RCU-bh to withstand network-based denial-of-service attacks.
-
-<p>
-Because
-<tt>rcu_read_lock_bh()</tt> and <tt>rcu_read_unlock_bh()</tt>
-disable and re-enable softirq handlers, any attempt to start a softirq
-handlers during the
-RCU-bh read-side critical section will be deferred.
-In this case, <tt>rcu_read_unlock_bh()</tt>
-will invoke softirq processing, which can take considerable time.
-One can of course argue that this softirq overhead should be associated
-with the code following the RCU-bh read-side critical section rather
-than <tt>rcu_read_unlock_bh()</tt>, but the fact
-is that most profiling tools cannot be expected to make this sort
-of fine distinction.
-For example, suppose that a three-millisecond-long RCU-bh read-side
-critical section executes during a time of heavy networking load.
-There will very likely be an attempt to invoke at least one softirq
-handler during that three milliseconds, but any such invocation will
-be delayed until the time of the <tt>rcu_read_unlock_bh()</tt>.
-This can of course make it appear at first glance as if
-<tt>rcu_read_unlock_bh()</tt> was executing very slowly.
-
-<p>
-The

-
-<h3><a name="Sched Flavor">Sched Flavor</a></h3>
-
-<p>
-Before preemptible RCU, waiting for an RCU grace period had the
-side effect of also waiting for all pre-existing interrupt
-and NMI handlers.
-However, there are legitimate preemptible-RCU implementations that
-do not have this property, given that any point in the code outside
-of an RCU read-side critical section can be a quiescent state.
-Therefore, <i>RCU-sched</i> was created, which follows &ldquo;classic&rdquo;
-RCU in that an RCU-sched grace period waits for for pre-existing
-interrupt and NMI handlers.
-In kernels built with <tt>CONFIG_PREEMPT=n</tt>, the RCU and RCU-sched
-APIs have identical implementations, while kernels built with
-<tt>CONFIG_PREEMPT=y</tt> provide a separate implementation for each.
-
-<p>
-Note well that in <tt>CONFIG_PREEMPT=y</tt> kernels,
-<tt>rcu_read_lock_sched()</tt> and <tt>rcu_read_unlock_sched()</tt>
-disable and re-enable preemption, respectively.
-This means that if there was a preemption attempt during the
-RCU-sched read-side critical section, <tt>rcu_read_unlock_sched()</tt>
-will enter the scheduler, with all the latency and overhead entailed.
-Just as with <tt>rcu_read_unlock_bh()</tt>, this can make it look
-as if <tt>rcu_read_unlock_sched()</tt> was executing very slowly.
-However, the highest-priority task won't be preempted, so that task
-will enjoy low-overhead <tt>rcu_read_unlock_sched()</tt> invocations.

-that this someone did not understand RCU.
-After all, if you are always blocking in an RCU read-side critical
-section, you can probably afford to use a higher-overhead synchronization
-mechanism.
-However, that changed with the advent of the Linux kernel's notifiers,
-whose RCU read-side critical
-sections almost never sleep, but sometimes need to.
-This resulted in the introduction of
-<a href="https://lwn.net/Articles/202847/">sleepable RCU</a>,
-or <i>SRCU</i>.
-
-<p>
-SRCU allows different domains to be defined, with each such domain
-defined by an instance of an <tt>srcu_struct</tt> structure.
-A pointer to this structure must be passed in to each SRCU function,
-for example, <tt>synchronize_srcu(&amp;ss)</tt>, where
-<tt>ss</tt> is the <tt>srcu_struct</tt> structure.
-The key benefit of these domains is that a slow SRCU reader in one
-domain does not delay an SRCU grace period in some other domain.
-That said, one consequence of these domains is that read-side code
-must pass a &ldquo;cookie&rdquo; from <tt>srcu_read_lock()</tt>
-to <tt>srcu_read_unlock()</tt>, for example, as follows:
-
-<blockquote>
-<pre>
- 1 int idx;
- 2
- 3 idx = srcu_read_lock(&amp;ss);
- 4 do_something();
- 5 srcu_read_unlock(&amp;ss, idx);
-</pre>
-</blockquote>
-
-<p>
-As noted above, it is legal to block within SRCU read-side critical sections,
-however, with great power comes great responsibility.
-If you block forever in one of a given domain's SRCU read-side critical
-sections, then that domain's grace periods will also be blocked forever.
-Of course, one good way to block forever is to deadlock, which can
-happen if any operation in a given domain's SRCU read-side critical
-section can block waiting, either directly or indirectly, for that domain's
-grace period to elapse.
-For example, this results in a self-deadlock:
-
-<blockquote>
-<pre>
- 1 int idx;
- 2
- 3 idx = srcu_read_lock(&amp;ss);
- 4 do_something();
- 5 synchronize_srcu(&amp;ss);
- 6 srcu_read_unlock(&amp;ss, idx);
-</pre>
-</blockquote>
-
-<p>
-However, if line&nbsp;5 acquired a mutex that was held across
-a <tt>synchronize_srcu()</tt> for domain <tt>ss</tt>,
-deadlock would still be possible.
-Furthermore, if line&nbsp;5 acquired a mutex that was held across
-a <tt>synchronize_srcu()</tt> for some other domain <tt>ss1</tt>,
-and if an <tt>ss1</tt>-domain SRCU read-side critical section
-acquired another mutex that was held across as <tt>ss</tt>-domain
-<tt>synchronize_srcu()</tt>,
-deadlock would again be possible.
-Such a deadlock cycle could extend across an arbitrarily large number
-of different SRCU domains.
-Again, with great power comes great responsibility.
-
-<p>
-Unlike the other RCU flavors, SRCU read-side critical sections can
-run on idle and even offline CPUs.
-This ability requires that <tt>srcu_read_lock()</tt> and
-<tt>srcu_read_unlock()</tt> contain memory barriers, which means
-that SRCU readers will run a bit slower than would RCU readers.
-It also motivates the <tt>smp_mb__after_srcu_read_unlock()</tt>
-API, which, in combination with <tt>srcu_read_unlock()</tt>,
-guarantees a full memory barrier.
-
-<p>
-The
-<a href="https://lwn.net/Articles/609973/#RCU Per-Flavor API Table">SRCU API</a>
-includes
-<tt>srcu_read_lock()</tt>,
-<tt>srcu_read_unlock()</tt>,
-<tt>srcu_dereference()</tt>,
-<tt>srcu_dereference_check()</tt>,
-<tt>synchronize_srcu()</tt>,
-<tt>synchronize_srcu_expedited()</tt>,
-<tt>call_srcu()</tt>,
-<tt>srcu_barrier()</tt>, and
-<tt>srcu_read_lock_held()</tt>.
-It also includes
-<tt>DEFINE_SRCU()</tt>,
-<tt>DEFINE_STATIC_SRCU()</tt>, and
-<tt>init_srcu_struct()</tt>
-APIs for defining and initializing <tt>srcu_struct</tt> structures.
-
-<h3><a name="Tasks RCU">Tasks RCU</a></h3>
-
-<p>
-Some forms of tracing use &ldquo;tramopolines&rdquo; to handle the
-binary rewriting required to install different types of probes.
-It would be good to be able to free old trampolines, which sounds
-like a job for some form of RCU.
-However, because it is necessary to be able to install a trace
-anywhere in the code, it is not possible to use read-side markers
-such as <tt>rcu_read_lock()</tt> and <tt>rcu_read_unlock()</tt>.
-In addition, it does not work to have these markers in the trampoline
-itself, because there would need to be instructions following
-<tt>rcu_read_unlock()</tt>.
-Although <tt>synchronize_rcu()</tt> would guarantee that execution
-reached the <tt>rcu_read_unlock()</tt>, it would not be able to
-guarantee that execution had completely left the trampoline.
-
-<p>
-The solution, in the form of
-<a href="https://lwn.net/Articles/607117/"><i>Tasks RCU</i></a>,
-is to have implicit
-read-side critical sections that are delimited by voluntary context
-switches, that is, calls to <tt>schedule()</tt>,
-<tt>cond_resched_rcu_qs()</tt>, and
-<tt>synchronize_rcu_tasks()</tt>.
-In addition, transitions to and from userspace execution also delimit
-tasks-RCU read-side critical sections.
-
-<p>
-The tasks-RCU API is quite compact, consisting only of
-<tt>call_rcu_tasks()</tt>,
-<tt>synchronize_rcu_tasks()</tt>, and
-<tt>rcu_barrier_tasks()</tt>.
-
-<h2><a name="Possible Future Changes">Possible Future Changes</a></h2>
-
-<p>
-One of the tricks that RCU uses to attain update-side scalability is
-to increase grace-period latency with increasing numbers of CPUs.
-If this becomes a serious problem, it will be necessary to rework the
-grace-period state machine so as to avoid the need for the additional
-latency.
-
-<p>
-Expedited grace periods scan the CPUs, so their latency and overhead
-increases with increasing numbers of CPUs.
-If this becomes a serious problem on large systems, it will be necessary
-to do some redesign to avoid this scalability problem.
-
-<p>
-RCU disables CPU hotplug in a few places, perhaps most notably in the
-expedited grace-period and <tt>rcu_barrier()</tt> operations.
-If there is a strong reason to use expedited grace periods in CPU-hotplug
-notifiers, it will be necessary to avoid disabling CPU hotplug.
-This would introduce some complexity, so there had better be a <i>very</i>
-good reason.
-
-<p>
-The tradeoff between grace-period latency on the one hand and interruptions
-of other CPUs on the other hand may need to be re-examined.
-The desire is of course for zero grace-period latency as well as zero
-interprocessor interrupts undertaken during an expedited grace period
-operation.
-While this ideal is unlikely to be achievable, it is quite possible that
-further improvements can be made.
-
-<p>
-The multiprocessor implementations of RCU use a combining tree that
-groups CPUs so as to reduce lock contention and increase cache locality.
-However, this combining tree does not spread its memory across NUMA
-nodes nor does it align the CPU groups with hardware features such
-as sockets or cores.
-Such spreading and alignment is currently believed to be unnecessary
-because the hotpath read-side primitives do not access the combining
-tree, nor does <tt>call_rcu()</tt> in the common case.
-If you believe that your architecture needs such spreading and alignment,
-then your architecture should also benefit from the
-<tt>rcutree.rcu_fanout_leaf</tt> boot parameter, which can be set
-to the number of CPUs in a socket, NUMA node, or whatever.
-If the number of CPUs is too large, use a fraction of the number of
-CPUs.
-If the number of CPUs is a large prime number, well, that certainly
-is an &ldquo;interesting&rdquo; architectural choice!
-More flexible arrangements might be considered, but only if
-<tt>rcutree.rcu_fanout_leaf</tt> has proven inadequate, and only
-if the inadequacy has been demonstrated by a carefully run and
-realistic system-level workload.
-
-<p>
-Please note that arrangements that require RCU to remap CPU numbers will
-require extremely good demonstration of need and full exploration of
-alternatives.
-
-<p>
-There is an embarrassingly large number of flavors of RCU, and this
-number has been increasing over time.
-Perhaps it will be possible to combine some at some future date.
-
-<p>
-RCU's various kthreads are reasonably recent additions.
-It is quite likely that adjustments will be required to more gracefully
-handle extreme loads.
-It might also be necessary to be able to relate CPU utilization by
-RCU's kthreads and softirq handlers to the code that instigated this
-CPU utilization.
-For example, RCU callback overhead might be charged back to the
-originating <tt>call_rcu()</tt> instance, though probably not
-in production kernels.
-
-<h2><a name="Summary">Summary</a></h2>
-
-<p>
-This document has presented more than two decade's worth of RCU
-requirements.
-Given that the requirements keep changing, this will not be the last
-word on this subject, but at least it serves to get an important
-subset of the requirements set forth.

+Marvell Armada CP110 System Controller 0
+========================================
+
+The CP110 is one of the two core HW blocks of the Marvell Armada 7K/8K
+SoCs. It contains two sets of system control registers, System
+Controller 0 and System Controller 1. This Device Tree binding allows
+to describe the first system controller, which provides registers to
+configure various aspects of the SoC.
+
+The Device Tree node representing this System Controller 0 provides a
+number of clocks:
+
+ - a set of core clocks
+ - a set of gatable clocks
+
+Those clocks can be referenced by other Device Tree nodes using two
+cells:
+ - The first cell must be 0 or 1. 0 for the core clocks and 1 for the
+ gatable clocks.
+ - The second cell identifies the particular core clock or gatable
+ clocks.
+
+The following clocks are available:
+ - Core clocks
+ - 0 0 APLL
+ - 0 1 PPv2 core
+ - 0 2 EIP
+ - 0 3 Core
+ - 0 4 NAND core
+ - Gatable clocks
+ - 1 0 Audio
+ - 1 1 Comm Unit
+ - 1 2 NAND
+ - 1 3 PPv2
+ - 1 4 SDIO
+ - 1 5 MG Domain
+ - 1 6 MG Core
+ - 1 7 XOR1
+ - 1 8 XOR0
+ - 1 9 GOP DP
+ - 1 11 PCIe x1 0
+ - 1 12 PCIe x1 1
+ - 1 13 PCIe x4
+ - 1 14 PCIe / XOR
+ - 1 15 SATA
+ - 1 16 SATA USB
+ - 1 17 Main
+ - 1 18 SD/MMC
+ - 1 21 Slow IO (SPI, NOR, BootROM, I2C, UART)
+ - 1 22 USB3H0
+ - 1 23 USB3H1
+ - 1 24 USB3 Device
+ - 1 25 EIP150
+ - 1 26 EIP197

+
+Required Properties:
+
+- compatible: should be one of the following.

+* Rockchip RK3399 Clock and Reset Unit
+
+The RK3399 clock controller generates and supplies clock to various
+controllers within the SoC and also implements a reset controller for SoC
+peripherals.
+
+Required Properties:
+
+- compatible: PMU for CRU should be "rockchip,rk3399-pmucru"
+- compatible: CRU should be "rockchip,rk3399-cru"
+- reg: physical base address of the controller and length of memory mapped
+ region.
+- #clock-cells: should be 1.
+- #reset-cells: should be 1.
+
+Each clock is assigned an identifier and client nodes can use this identifier
+to specify the clock which they consume. All available clocks are defined as
+preprocessor macros in the dt-bindings/clock/rk3399-cru.h headers and can be
+used in device tree sources. Similar macros exist for the reset sources in
+these files.
+
+External clocks:
+
+There are several clocks that are generated outside the SoC. It is expected
+that they are defined using standard clock bindings with following
+clock-output-names:
+ - "xin24m" - crystal input - required,
+ - "xin32k" - rtc clock - optional,
+ - "clkin_gmac" - external GMAC clock - optional,
+ - "clkin_i2s" - external I2S clock - optional,
+ - "pclkin_cif" - external ISP clock - optional,
+ - "clk_usbphy0_480m" - output clock of the pll in the usbphy0
+ - "clk_usbphy1_480m" - output clock of the pll in the usbphy1
+
+Example: Clock controller node:
+
+ pmucru: pmu-clock-controller@ff750000 {
+ compatible = "rockchip,rk3399-pmucru";
+ reg = <0x0 0xff750000 0x0 0x1000>;

+* Generic Exynos Bus frequency device
+
+The Samsung Exynos SoC has many buses for data transfer between DRAM
+and sub-blocks in SoC. Most Exynos SoCs share the common architecture
+for buses. Generally, each bus of Exynos SoC includes a source clock
+and a power line, which are able to change the clock frequency
+of the bus in runtime. To monitor the usage of each bus in runtime,
+the driver uses the PPMU (Platform Performance Monitoring Unit), which
+is able to measure the current load of sub-blocks.
+
+The Exynos SoC includes the various sub-blocks which have the each AXI bus.
+The each AXI bus has the owned source clock but, has not the only owned
+power line. The power line might be shared among one more sub-blocks.
+So, we can divide into two type of device as the role of each sub-block.
+There are two type of bus devices as following:
+- parent bus device
+- passive bus device
+
+Basically, parent and passive bus device share the same power line.
+The parent bus device can only change the voltage of shared power line
+and the rest bus devices (passive bus device) depend on the decision of
+the parent bus device. If there are three blocks which share the VDD_xxx
+power line, Only one block should be parent device and then the rest blocks
+should depend on the parent device as passive device.
+
+ VDD_xxx |--- A block (parent)
+ |--- B block (passive)
+ |--- C block (passive)
+
+There are a little different composition among Exynos SoC because each Exynos
+SoC has different sub-blocks. Therefore, such difference should be specified
+in devicetree file instead of each device driver. In result, this driver
+is able to support the bus frequency for all Exynos SoCs.
+
+Required properties for all bus devices:
+- compatible: Should be "samsung,exynos-bus".
+- clock-names : the name of clock used by the bus, "bus".
+- clocks : phandles for clock specified in "clock-names" property.
+- operating-points-v2: the OPP table including frequency/voltage information
+ to support DVFS (Dynamic Voltage/Frequency Scaling) feature.
+
+Required properties only for parent bus device:
+- vdd-supply: the regulator to provide the buses with the voltage.
+- devfreq-events: the devfreq-event device to monitor the current utilization
+ of buses.
+
+Required properties only for passive bus device:
+- devfreq: the parent bus device.
+
+Optional properties only for parent bus device:
+- exynos,saturation-ratio: the percentage value which is used to calibrate
+ the performance count against total cycle count.
+- exynos,voltage-tolerance: the percentage value for bus voltage tolerance
+ which is used to calculate the max voltage.
+
+Detailed correlation between sub-blocks and power line according to Exynos SoC:

+Mediatek display subsystem
+==========================
+
+The Mediatek display subsystem consists of various DISP function blocks in the
+MMSYS register space. The connections between them can be configured by output
+and input selectors in the MMSYS_CONFIG register space. Pixel clock and start
+of frame signal are distributed to the other function blocks by a DISP_MUTEX
+function block.
+
+All DISP device tree nodes must be siblings to the central MMSYS_CONFIG node.
+For a description of the MMSYS_CONFIG binding, see
+Documentation/devicetree/bindings/arm/mediatek/mediatek,mmsys.txt.
+
+DISP function blocks
+====================
+
+A display stream starts at a source function block that reads pixel data from
+memory and ends with a sink function block that drives pixels on a display
+interface, or writes pixels back to memory. All DISP function blocks have
+their own register space, interrupt, and clock gate. The blocks that can
+access memory additionally have to list the IOMMU and local arbiter they are
+connected to.
+
+For a description of the display interface sink function blocks, see
+Documentation/devicetree/bindings/display/mediatek/mediatek,dsi.txt and
+Documentation/devicetree/bindings/display/mediatek/mediatek,dpi.txt.
+
+Required properties (all function blocks):
+- compatible: "mediatek,<chip>-disp-<function>", one of
+ "mediatek,<chip>-disp-ovl" - overlay (4 layers, blending, csc)
+ "mediatek,<chip>-disp-rdma" - read DMA / line buffer
+ "mediatek,<chip>-disp-wdma" - write DMA
+ "mediatek,<chip>-disp-color" - color processor
+ "mediatek,<chip>-disp-aal" - adaptive ambient light controller
+ "mediatek,<chip>-disp-gamma" - gamma correction
+ "mediatek,<chip>-disp-merge" - merge streams from two RDMA sources
+ "mediatek,<chip>-disp-split" - split stream to two encoders
+ "mediatek,<chip>-disp-ufoe" - data compression engine
+ "mediatek,<chip>-dsi" - DSI controller, see mediatek,dsi.txt
+ "mediatek,<chip>-dpi" - DPI controller, see mediatek,dpi.txt
+ "mediatek,<chip>-disp-mutex" - display mutex
+ "mediatek,<chip>-disp-od" - overdrive
+- reg: Physical base address and length of the function block register space
+- interrupts: The interrupt signal from the function block (required, except for
+ merge and split function blocks).
+- clocks: device clocks
+ See Documentation/devicetree/bindings/clock/clock-bindings.txt for details.
+ For most function blocks this is just a single clock input. Only the DSI and
+ DPI controller nodes have multiple clock inputs. These are documented in
+ mediatek,dsi.txt and mediatek,dpi.txt, respectively.
+
+Required properties (DMA function blocks):
+- compatible: Should be one of
+ "mediatek,<chip>-disp-ovl"
+ "mediatek,<chip>-disp-rdma"
+ "mediatek,<chip>-disp-wdma"
+- larb: Should contain a phandle pointing to the local arbiter device as defined
+ in Documentation/devicetree/bindings/soc/mediatek/mediatek,smi-larb.txt
+- iommus: Should point to the respective IOMMU block with master port as
+ argument, see Documentation/devicetree/bindings/iommu/mediatek,iommu.txt
+ for details.

+ARC PGU
+
+This is a display controller found on several development boards produced
+by Synopsys. The ARC PGU is an RGB streamer that reads the data from a
+framebuffer and sends it to a single digital encoder (usually HDMI).
+
+Required properties:
+ - compatible: "snps,arcpgu"
+ - reg: Physical base address and length of the controller's registers.
+ - clocks: A list of phandle + clock-specifier pairs, one for each
+ entry in 'clock-names'.
+ - clock-names: A list of clock names. For ARC PGU it should contain:
+ - "pxlclk" for the clock feeding the output PLL of the controller.
+
+Required sub-nodes:
+ - port: The PGU connection to an encoder chip.
+
+Example:
+
+/ {
+ ...
+
+ pgu@XXXXXXXX {

+Allwinner A10 Display Pipeline
+==============================
+
+The Allwinner A10 Display pipeline is composed of several components
+that are going to be documented below:
+
+TV Encoder
+----------
+
+The TV Encoder supports the composite and VGA output. It is one end of
+the pipeline.
+
+Required properties:
+ - compatible: value should be "allwinner,sun4i-a10-tv-encoder".
+ - reg: base address and size of memory-mapped region
+ - clocks: the clocks driving the TV encoder
+ - resets: phandle to the reset controller driving the encoder
+
+- ports: A ports node with endpoint definitions as defined in
+ Documentation/devicetree/bindings/media/video-interfaces.txt. The
+ first port should be the input endpoint.
+
+TCON
+----
+
+The TCON acts as a timing controller for RGB, LVDS and TV interfaces.
+
+Required properties:
+ - compatible: value should be "allwinner,sun5i-a13-tcon".
+ - reg: base address and size of memory-mapped region
+ - interrupts: interrupt associated to this IP
+ - clocks: phandles to the clocks feeding the TCON. Three are needed:
+ - 'ahb': the interface clocks
+ - 'tcon-ch0': The clock driving the TCON channel 0

+ connected to the TCON channel 0 (usually a panel or a bridge), the
+ second the block connected to the TCON channel 1 (usually the TV
+ encoder)
+
+
+Display Engine Backend

+either directly the backend or the frontend) is represented as an
+extra node.
+
+Required properties:
+ - compatible: value must be one of:
+ * allwinner,sun5i-a13-display-engine

+NVIDIA Tegra186 GPIO controllers
+
+Tegra186 contains two GPIO controllers; a main controller and an "AON"
+controller. This binding document applies to both controllers. The register
+layouts for the controllers share many similarities, but also some significant
+differences. Hence, this document describes closely related but different
+bindings and compatible values.
+
+The Tegra186 GPIO controller allows software to set the IO direction of, and
+read/write the value of, numerous GPIO signals. Routing of GPIO signals to
+package balls is under the control of a separate pin controller HW block. Two
+major sets of registers exist:
+
+a) Security registers, which allow configuration of allowed access to the GPIO
+register set. These registers exist in a single contiguous block of physical
+address space. The size of this block, and the security features available,
+varies between the different GPIO controllers.
+
+Access to this set of registers is not necessary in all circumstances. Code
+that wishes to configure access to the GPIO registers needs access to these
+registers to do so. Code which simply wishes to read or write GPIO data does not
+need access to these registers.
+
+b) GPIO registers, which allow manipulation of the GPIO signals. In some GPIO
+controllers, these registers are exposed via multiple "physical aliases" in
+address space, each of which access the same underlying state. See the hardware
+documentation for rationale. Any particular GPIO client is expected to access
+just one of these physical aliases.
+
+Tegra HW documentation describes a unified naming convention for all GPIOs
+implemented by the SoC. Each GPIO is assigned to a port, and a port may control
+a number of GPIOs. Thus, each GPIO is named according to an alphabetical port
+name and an integer GPIO name within the port. For example, GPIO_PA0, GPIO_PN6,
+or GPIO_PCC3.
+
+The number of ports implemented by each GPIO controller varies. The number of
+implemented GPIOs within each port varies. GPIO registers within a controller
+are grouped and laid out according to the port they affect.
+
+The mapping from port name to the GPIO controller that implements that port, and
+the mapping from port name to register offset within a controller, are both
+extremely non-linear. The header file <dt-bindings/gpio/tegra186-gpio.h>
+describes the port-level mapping. In that file, the naming convention for ports
+matches the HW documentation. The values chosen for the names are alphabetically
+sorted within a particular controller. Drivers need to map between the DT GPIO
+IDs and HW register offsets using a lookup table.
+
+Each GPIO controller can generate a number of interrupt signals. Each signal
+represents the aggregate status for all GPIOs within a set of ports. Thus, the
+number of interrupt signals generated by a controller varies as a rough function
+of the number of ports it implements. Note that the HW documentation refers to
+both the overall controller HW module and the sets-of-ports as "controllers".
+
+Each GPIO controller in fact generates multiple interrupts signals for each set
+of ports. Each GPIO may be configured to feed into a specific one of the
+interrupt signals generated by a set-of-ports. The intent is for each generated
+signal to be routed to a different CPU, thus allowing different CPUs to each
+handle subsets of the interrupts within a port. The status of each of these
+per-port-set signals is reported via a separate register. Thus, a driver needs
+to know which status register to observe. This binding currently defines no
+configuration mechanism for this. By default, drivers should use register
+GPIO_${port}_INTERRUPT_STATUS_G1_0. Future revisions to the binding could
+define a property to configure this.
+
+Required properties:
+- compatible
+ Array of strings.
+ One of:
+ - "nvidia,tegra186-gpio".
+ - "nvidia,tegra186-gpio-aon".
+- reg-names
+ Array of strings.
+ Contains a list of names for the register spaces described by the reg
+ property. May contain the following entries, in any order:
+ - "gpio": Mandatory. GPIO control registers. This may cover either:
+ a) The single physical alias that this OS should use.
+ b) All physical aliases that exist in the controller. This is
+ appropriate when the OS is responsible for managing assignment of
+ the physical aliases.
+ - "security": Optional. Security configuration registers.
+ Users of this binding MUST look up entries in the reg property by name,
+ using this reg-names property to do so.
+- reg
+ Array of (physical base address, length) tuples.
+ Must contain one entry per entry in the reg-names property, in a matching
+ order.
+- interrupts
+ Array of interrupt specifiers.
+ The interrupt outputs from the HW block, one per set of ports, in the
+ order the HW manual describes them. The number of entries required varies
+ depending on compatible value:
+ - "nvidia,tegra186-gpio": 6 entries.
+ - "nvidia,tegra186-gpio-aon": 1 entry.
+- gpio-controller
+ Boolean.
+ Marks the device node as a GPIO controller/provider.
+- #gpio-cells
+ Single-cell integer.
+ Must be <2>.
+ Indicates how many cells are used in a consumer's GPIO specifier.
+ In the specifier:
+ - The first cell is the pin number.
+ See <dt-bindings/gpio/tegra186-gpio.h>.
+ - The second cell contains flags:
+ - Bit 0 specifies polarity
+ - 0: Active-high (normal).
+ - 1: Active-low (inverted).
+- interrupt-controller
+ Boolean.
+ Marks the device node as an interrupt controller/provider.
+- #interrupt-cells
+ Single-cell integer.
+ Must be <2>.
+ Indicates how many cells are used in a consumer's interrupt specifier.
+ In the specifier:
+ - The first cell is the GPIO number.
+ See <dt-bindings/gpio/tegra186-gpio.h>.
+ - The second cell is contains flags:
+ - Bits [3:0] indicate trigger type and level:
+ - 1: Low-to-high edge triggered.
+ - 2: High-to-low edge triggered.
+ - 4: Active high level-sensitive.
+ - 8: Active low level-sensitive.

+ - spi-cpol: The AD5592R requires inverse clock polarity (CPOL) mode
+
+Required properties for the AD5593R:
+ - compatible: Must be "adi,ad5593r"
+ - reg: I2C address of the device
+
+Required properties for all supported chips:
+ - #address-cells: Should be 1.
+ - #size-cells: Should be 0.
+ - channel nodes:
+ Each child node represents one channel and has the following
+ Required properties:
+ * reg: Pin on which this channel is connected to.
+ * adi,mode: Mode or function of this channel.
+ Macros specifying the valid values
+ can be found in <dt-bindings/iio/adi,ad5592r.h>.
+
+ The following values are currently supported:
+ * CH_MODE_UNUSED (the pin is unused)
+ * CH_MODE_ADC (the pin is ADC input)
+ * CH_MODE_DAC (the pin is DAC output)
+ * CH_MODE_DAC_AND_ADC (the pin is DAC output
+ but can be monitored by an ADC, since
+ there is no disadvantage this
+ this should be considered as the
+ preferred DAC mode)
+ * CH_MODE_GPIO (the pin is registered
+ with GPIOLIB)
+ Optional properties:
+ * adi,off-state: State of this channel when unused or the
+ device gets removed. Macros specifying the
+ valid values can be found in
+ <dt-bindings/iio/adi,ad5592r.h>.
+
+ * CH_OFFSTATE_PULLDOWN (the pin is pulled down)
+ * CH_OFFSTATE_OUT_LOW (the pin is output low)
+ * CH_OFFSTATE_OUT_HIGH (the pin is output high)
+ * CH_OFFSTATE_OUT_TRISTATE (the pin is
+ tristated output)
+
+
+Optional properties:
+ - vref-supply: Phandle to the external reference voltage supply. This should
+ only be set if there is an external reference voltage connected to the VREF
+ pin. If the property is not set the internal 2.5V reference is used.
+ - reset-gpios : GPIO spec for the RESET pin. If specified, it will be
+ asserted during driver probe.
+ - gpio-controller: Marks the device node as a GPIO controller.
+ - #gpio-cells: Should be 2. The first cell is the GPIO number and the second
+ cell specifies GPIO flags, as defined in <dt-bindings/gpio/gpio.h>.

+Broadcom BCM6345-style Level 1 interrupt controller
+
+This block is a first level interrupt controller that is typically connected
+directly to one of the HW INT lines on each CPU.
+
+Key elements of the hardware design include:
+
+- 32, 64 or 128 incoming level IRQ lines
+
+- Most onchip peripherals are wired directly to an L1 input
+
+- A separate instance of the register set for each CPU, allowing individual
+ peripheral IRQs to be routed to any CPU
+
+- Contains one or more enable/status word pairs per CPU
+
+- No atomic set/clear operations
+
+- No polarity/level/edge settings
+
+- No FIFO or priority encoder logic; software is expected to read all
+ 2-4 status words to determine which IRQs are pending
+
+Required properties:
+
+- compatible: should be "brcm,bcm<soc>-l1-intc", "brcm,bcm6345-l1-intc"
+- reg: specifies the base physical address and size of the registers;
+ the number of supported IRQs is inferred from the size argument
+- interrupt-controller: identifies the node as an interrupt controller
+- #interrupt-cells: specifies the number of cells needed to encode an interrupt
+ source, should be 1.
+- interrupt-parent: specifies the phandle to the parent interrupt controller(s)
+ this one is cascaded from
+- interrupts: specifies the interrupt line(s) in the interrupt-parent controller
+ node; valid values depend on the type of parent interrupt controller
+
+If multiple reg ranges and interrupt-parent entries are present on an SMP
+system, the driver will allow IRQ SMP affinity to be set up through the
+/proc/irq/ interface. In the simplest possible configuration, only one
+reg range and one interrupt-parent is needed.
+
+The driver operates in native CPU endian by default, there is no support for
+specifying an alternative endianness.
+
+Example:
+
+periph_intc: interrupt-controller@10000000 {
+ compatible = "brcm,bcm63168-l1-intc", "brcm,bcm6345-l1-intc";

+ interrupt-parent = <&cpu_intc>;
+ interrupts = <2>, <3>;

+
+Optional subnodes and their properties:
+=======================================
+
+Flexible power sequence configurations:
+--------------------------------------
+The Flexible Power Sequencer (FPS) allows each regulator to power up under
+hardware or software control. Additionally, each regulator can power on
+independently or among a group of other regulators with an adjustable power-up
+and power-down delays (sequencing). GPIO1, GPIO2, and GPIO3 can be programmed
+to be part of a sequence allowing external regulators to be sequenced along
+with internal regulators. 32KHz clock can be programmed to be part of a
+sequence.
+
+The flexible sequencing structure consists of two hardware enable inputs
+(EN0, EN1), and 3 master sequencing timers called FPS0, FPS1 and FPS2.
+Each master sequencing timer is programmable through its configuration
+register to have a hardware enable source (EN1 or EN2) or a software enable
+source (SW). When enabled/disabled, the master sequencing timer generates
+eight sequencing events on different time periods called slots. The time
+period between each event is programmable within the configuration register.
+Each regulator, GPIO1, GPIO2, GPIO3, and 32KHz clock has a flexible power
+sequence slave register which allows its enable source to be specified as
+a flexible power sequencer timer or a software bit. When a FPS source of
+regulators, GPIOs and clocks specifies the enable source to be a flexible
+power sequencer, the power up and power down delays can be specified in
+the regulators, GPIOs and clocks flexible power sequencer configuration
+registers.
+
+When FPS event cleared (set to LOW), regulators, GPIOs and 32KHz
+clock are set into following state at the sequencing event that
+corresponds to its flexible sequencer configuration register.
+ Sleep state: In this state, regulators, GPIOs
+ and 32KHz clock get disabled at
+ the sequencing event.
+ Global Low Power Mode (GLPM): In this state, regulators are set in
+ low power mode at the sequencing event.
+
+The configuration parameters of FPS is provided through sub-node "fps"
+and their child for FPS specific. The child node name for FPS are "fps0",
+"fps1", and "fps2" for FPS0, FPS1 and FPS2 respectively.
+
+The FPS configurations like FPS source, power up and power down slots for
+regulators, GPIOs and 32kHz clocks are provided in their respective
+configuration nodes which is explained in respective sub-system DT
+binding document.
+
+There is need for different FPS configuration parameters based on system
+state like when system state changed from active to suspend or active to
+power off (shutdown).
+
+Optional properties:
+-------------------
+-maxim,fps-event-source: u32, FPS event source like external
+ hardware input to PMIC i.e. EN0, EN1 or
+ software (SW).
+ The macros are defined on
+ dt-bindings/mfd/max77620.h
+ for different control source.
+ - MAX77620_FPS_EVENT_SRC_EN0
+ for hardware input pin EN0.
+ - MAX77620_FPS_EVENT_SRC_EN1
+ for hardware input pin EN1.
+ - MAX77620_FPS_EVENT_SRC_SW
+ for software control.
+
+-maxim,shutdown-fps-time-period-us: u32, FPS time period in microseconds
+ when system enters in to shutdown
+ state.
+
+-maxim,suspend-fps-time-period-us: u32, FPS time period in microseconds
+ when system enters in to suspend state.
+
+-maxim,device-state-on-disabled-event: u32, describe the PMIC state when FPS
+ event cleared (set to LOW) whether it
+ should go to sleep state or low-power
+ state. Following are valid values:
+ - MAX77620_FPS_INACTIVE_STATE_SLEEP
+ to set the PMIC state to sleep.
+ - MAX77620_FPS_INACTIVE_STATE_LOW_POWER
+ to set the PMIC state to low
+ power.
+ Absence of this property or other value
+ will not change device state when FPS
+ event get cleared.
+
+Here supported time periods by device in microseconds are as follows:
+MAX77620 supports 40, 80, 160, 320, 640, 1280, 2560 and 5120 microseconds.
+MAX20024 supports 20, 40, 80, 160, 320, 640, 1280 and 2540 microseconds.
+
+For DT binding details of different sub modules like GPIO, pincontrol,
+regulator, power, please refer respective device-tree binding document
+under their respective sub-system directories.

+==============================================================================
+NUMA binding description.
+==============================================================================
+
+==============================================================================
+1 - Introduction
+==============================================================================
+
+Systems employing a Non Uniform Memory Access (NUMA) architecture contain
+collections of hardware resources including processors, memory, and I/O buses,
+that comprise what is commonly known as a NUMA node.
+Processor accesses to memory within the local NUMA node is generally faster
+than processor accesses to memory outside of the local NUMA node.
+DT defines interfaces that allow the platform to convey NUMA node
+topology information to OS.
+
+==============================================================================
+2 - numa-node-id
+==============================================================================
+
+For the purpose of identification, each NUMA node is associated with a unique
+token known as a node id. For the purpose of this binding
+a node id is a 32-bit integer.
+
+A device node is associated with a NUMA node by the presence of a
+numa-node-id property which contains the node id of the device.
+
+Example:
+ /* numa node 0 */
+ numa-node-id = <0>;
+
+ /* numa node 1 */
+ numa-node-id = <1>;
+
+==============================================================================
+3 - distance-map
+==============================================================================
+
+The optional device tree node distance-map describes the relative
+distance (memory latency) between all numa nodes.
+
+- compatible : Should at least contain "numa-distance-map-v1".
+
+- distance-matrix
+ This property defines a matrix to describe the relative distances
+ between all numa nodes.
+ It is represented as a list of node pairs and their relative distance.
+
+ Note:
+ 1. Each entry represents distance from first node to second node.
+ The distances are equal in either direction.
+ 2. The distance from a node to self (local distance) is represented
+ with value 10 and all internode distance should be represented with
+ a value greater than 10.
+ 3. distance-matrix should have entries in lexicographical ascending
+ order of nodes.
+ 4. There must be only one device node distance-map which must
+ reside in the root node.
+ 5. If the distance-map node is not present, a default
+ distance-matrix is used.
+
+Example:
+ 4 nodes connected in mesh/ring topology as below,
+
+ 0_______20______1
+ | |
+ | |
+ 20 20
+ | |
+ | |
+ |_______________|
+ 3 20 2
+
+ if relative distance for each hop is 20,
+ then internode distance would be,
+ 0 -> 1 = 20
+ 1 -> 2 = 20
+ 2 -> 3 = 20
+ 3 -> 0 = 20
+ 0 -> 2 = 40
+ 1 -> 3 = 40
+
+ and dt presentation for this distance matrix is,
+
+ distance-map {
+ compatible = "numa-distance-map-v1";
+ distance-matrix = <0 0 10>,
+ <0 1 20>,
+ <0 2 40>,
+ <0 3 20>,
+ <1 0 20>,
+ <1 1 10>,
+ <1 2 20>,
+ <1 3 40>,
+ <2 0 40>,
+ <2 1 20>,
+ <2 2 10>,
+ <2 3 20>,
+ <3 0 20>,
+ <3 1 40>,
+ <3 2 20>,
+ <3 3 10>;

+Device tree binding for NVIDIA Tegra XUSB pad controller
+========================================================
+
+The Tegra XUSB pad controller manages a set of I/O lanes (with differential
+signals) which connect directly to pins/pads on the SoC package. Each lane
+is controlled by a HW block referred to as a "pad" in the Tegra hardware
+documentation. Each such "pad" may control either one or multiple lanes,
+and thus contains any logic common to all its lanes. Each lane can be
+separately configured and powered up.
+
+Some of the lanes are high-speed lanes, which can be used for PCIe, SATA or
+super-speed USB. Other lanes are for various types of low-speed, full-speed
+or high-speed USB (such as UTMI, ULPI and HSIC). The XUSB pad controller
+contains a software-configurable mux that sits between the I/O controller
+ports (e.g. PCIe) and the lanes.
+
+In addition to per-lane configuration, USB 3.0 ports may require additional
+settings on a per-board basis.
+
+Pads will be represented as children of the top-level XUSB pad controller
+device tree node. Each lane exposed by the pad will be represented by its
+own subnode and can be referenced by users of the lane using the standard
+PHY bindings, as described by the phy-bindings.txt file in this directory.
+
+The Tegra hardware documentation refers to the connection between the XUSB
+pad controller and the XUSB controller as "ports". This is confusing since
+"port" is typically used to denote the physical USB receptacle. The device
+tree binding in this document uses the term "port" to refer to the logical
+abstraction of the signals that are routed to a USB receptacle (i.e. a PHY
+for the USB signal, the VBUS power supply, the USB 2.0 companion port for
+USB 3.0 receptacles, ...).
+
+Required properties:
+--------------------
+- compatible: Must be:
+ - Tegra124: "nvidia,tegra124-xusb-padctl"
+ - Tegra132: "nvidia,tegra132-xusb-padctl", "nvidia,tegra124-xusb-padctl"
+ - Tegra210: "nvidia,tegra210-xusb-padctl"
+- reg: Physical base address and length of the controller's registers.
+- resets: Must contain an entry for each entry in reset-names.
+- reset-names: Must include the following entries:
+ - "padctl"
+
+
+Pad nodes:
+==========
+
+A required child node named "pads" contains a list of subnodes, one for each
+of the pads exposed by the XUSB pad controller. Each pad may need additional
+resources that can be referenced in its pad node.
+
+The "status" property is used to enable or disable the use of a pad. If set
+to "disabled", the pad will not be used on the given board. In order to use
+the pad and any of its lanes, this property must be set to "okay".
+
+For Tegra124 and Tegra132, the following pads exist: usb2, ulpi, hsic, pcie
+and sata. No extra resources are required for operation of these pads.
+
+For Tegra210, the following pads exist: usb2, hsic, pcie and sata. Below is
+a description of the properties of each pad.
+
+UTMI pad:
+---------
+
+Required properties:
+- clocks: Must contain an entry for each entry in clock-names.
+- clock-names: Must contain the following entries:
+ - "trk": phandle and specifier referring to the USB2 tracking clock
+
+HSIC pad:
+---------
+
+Required properties:
+- clocks: Must contain an entry for each entry in clock-names.
+- clock-names: Must contain the following entries:
+ - "trk": phandle and specifier referring to the HSIC tracking clock
+
+PCIe pad:
+---------
+
+Required properties:
+- clocks: Must contain an entry for each entry in clock-names.
+- clock-names: Must contain the following entries:
+ - "pll": phandle and specifier referring to the PLLE
+- resets: Must contain an entry for each entry in reset-names.
+- reset-names: Must contain the following entries:
+ - "phy": reset for the PCIe UPHY block
+
+SATA pad:
+---------
+
+Required properties:
+- resets: Must contain an entry for each entry in reset-names.
+- reset-names: Must contain the following entries:
+ - "phy": reset for the SATA UPHY block
+
+
+PHY nodes:
+==========
+
+Each pad node has a child named "lanes" that contains one or more children of
+its own, each representing one of the lanes controlled by the pad.
+
+Required properties:
+--------------------
+- status: Defines the operation status of the PHY. Valid values are:
+ - "disabled": the PHY is disabled
+ - "okay": the PHY is enabled
+- #phy-cells: Should be 0. Since each lane represents a single PHY, there is
+ no need for an additional specifier.
+- nvidia,function: The output function of the PHY. See below for a list of
+ valid functions per SoC generation.
+
+For Tegra124 and Tegra132, the list of valid PHY nodes is given below:
+- usb2: usb2-0, usb2-1, usb2-2
+ - functions: "snps", "xusb", "uart"
+- ulpi: ulpi-0
+ - functions: "snps", "xusb"
+- hsic: hsic-0, hsic-1
+ - functions: "snps", "xusb"

+ - functions: "pcie", "usb3-ss"
+- sata: sata-0
+ - functions: "usb3-ss", "sata"
+
+For Tegra210, the list of valid PHY nodes is given below:
+- utmi: utmi-0, utmi-1, utmi-2, utmi-3
+ - functions: "snps", "xusb", "uart"
+- hsic: hsic-0, hsic-1
+ - functions: "snps", "xusb"

+ - functions: "pcie-x1", "usb3-ss", "pcie-x4"
+- sata: sata-0
+ - functions: "usb3-ss", "sata"
+
+
+Port nodes:
+===========
+
+A required child node named "ports" contains a list of all the ports exposed
+by the XUSB pad controller. Per-port configuration is only required for USB.
+
+USB2 ports:
+-----------
+
+Required properties:
+- status: Defines the operation status of the port. Valid values are:
+ - "disabled": the port is disabled

+ values are:
+ - "host": for USB host mode
+ - "device": for USB device mode
+ - "otg": for USB OTG mode
+
+Optional properties:
+- nvidia,internal: A boolean property whose presence determines that a port
+ is internal. In the absence of this property the port is considered to be
+ external.
+- vbus-supply: phandle to a regulator supplying the VBUS voltage.
+
+ULPI ports:

+Generic Serial DT Bindings
+
+This document lists a set of generic properties for describing UARTs in a
+device tree. Whether these properties apply to a particular device depends on
+the DT bindings for the actual device.
+
+Optional properties:
+ - cts-gpios: Must contain a GPIO specifier, referring to the GPIO pin to be
+ used as the UART's CTS line.
+ - dcd-gpios: Must contain a GPIO specifier, referring to the GPIO pin to be
+ used as the UART's DCD line.
+ - dsr-gpios: Must contain a GPIO specifier, referring to the GPIO pin to be
+ used as the UART's DSR line.
+ - dtr-gpios: Must contain a GPIO specifier, referring to the GPIO pin to be
+ used as the UART's DTR line.
+ - rng-gpios: Must contain a GPIO specifier, referring to the GPIO pin to be
+ used as the UART's RNG line.
+ - rts-gpios: Must contain a GPIO specifier, referring to the GPIO pin to be
+ used as the UART's RTS line.
+
+ - uart-has-rtscts: The presence of this property indicates that the
+ UART has dedicated lines for RTS/CTS hardware flow control, and that
+ they are available for use (wired and enabled by pinmux configuration).
+ This depends on both the UART hardware and the board wiring.
+ Note that this property is mutually-exclusive with "cts-gpios" and
+ "rts-gpios" above.
+

+MediaTek AUXADC
+===============
+
+The Auxiliary Analog/Digital Converter (AUXADC) is an ADC found
+in some Mediatek SoCs which among other things measures the temperatures
+in the SoC. It can be used directly with register accesses, but it is also
+used by thermal controller which reads the temperatures from the AUXADC
+directly via its own bus interface. See
+Documentation/devicetree/bindings/thermal/mediatek-thermal.txt
+for the Thermal Controller which holds a phandle to the AUXADC.

+Handling Media Errors
+---------------------
+
+The libnvdimm subsystem stores a record of known media error locations for
+each pmem block device (in gendisk->badblocks). If we fault at such location,
+or one with a latent error not yet discovered, the application can expect
+to receive a SIGBUS. Libnvdimm also allows clearing of these errors by simply
+writing the affected sectors (through the pmem driver, and if the underlying
+NVDIMM supports the clear_poison DSM defined by ACPI).
+
+Since DAX IO normally doesn't go through the driver/bio path, applications or
+sysadmins have an option to restore the lost data from a prior backup/inbuilt
+redundancy in the following ways:
+
+1. Delete the affected file, and restore from a backup (sysadmin route):
+ This will free the file system blocks that were being used by the file,
+ and the next time they're allocated, they will be zeroed first, which
+ happens through the driver, and will clear bad sectors.
+
+2. Truncate or hole-punch the part of the file that has a bad-block (at least
+ an entire aligned sector has to be hole-punched, but not necessarily an
+ entire filesystem block).
+
+These are the two basic paths that allow DAX filesystems to continue operating
+in the presence of media errors. More robust error recovery mechanisms can be
+built on top of this in the future, for example, involving redundancy/mirroring
+provided at the block layer through DM, or additionally, at the filesystem
+level. These would have to rely on the above two tenets, that error clearing
+can happen either by sending an IO through the driver, or zeroing (also through
+the driver).

+------------------------------------
+
+Open drain (CMOS) or open collector (TTL) means the line is not actively driven

+is not open, it will present a high-impedance (tristate) to the external rail.

+
+This configuration is normally used as a way to achieve one of two things:
+
+- Level-shifting: to reach a logical level higher than that of the silicon
+ where the output resides.
+
+- inverse wire-OR on an I/O line, for example a GPIO line, making it possible
+ for any driving stage on the line to drive it low even if any other output
+ to the same line is simultaneously driving it high. A special case of this
+ is driving the SCL and SCA lines of an I2C bus, which is by definition a
+ wire-OR bus.
+
+Both usecases require that the line be equipped with a pull-up resistor. This
+resistor will make the line tend to high level unless one of the transistors on
+the rail actively pulls it down.
+
+The level on the line will go as high as the VDD on the pull-up resistor, which
+may be higher than the level supported by the transistor, achieveing a
+level-shift to the higher VDD.
+
+Integrated electronics often have an output driver stage in the form of a CMOS
+"totem-pole" with one N-MOS and one P-MOS transistor where one of them drives
+the line high and one of them drives the line low. This is called a push-pull

+The desired output signal (e.g. coming directly from some GPIO output register)
+arrives at IN. The switches named "OD" and "OS" are normally closed, creating
+a push-pull circuit.
+
+Consider the little "switches" named "OD" and "OS" that enable/disable the
+P-MOS or N-MOS transistor right after the split of the input. As you can see,
+either transistor will go totally numb if this switch is open. The totem-pole
+is then halved and give high impedance instead of actively driving the line
+high or low respectively. That is usually how software-controlled open
+drain/source works.
+
+Some GPIO hardware come in open drain / open source configuration. Some are
+hard-wired lines that will only support open drain or open source no matter
+what: there is only one transistor there. Some are software-configurable:
+by flipping a bit in a register the output can be configured as open drain
+or open source, in practice by flicking open the switches labeled "OD" and "OS"
+in the drawing above.
+
+By disabling the P-MOS transistor, the output can be driven between GND and
+high impedance (open drain), and by disabling the N-MOS transistor, the output
+can be driven between VDD and high impedance (open source). In the first case,
+a pull-up resistor is needed on the outgoing rail to complete the circuit, and
+in the second case, a pull-down resistor is needed on the rail.
+
+Hardware that supports open drain or open source or both, can implement a
+special callback in the gpio_chip: .set_single_ended() that takes an enum flag
+telling whether to configure the line as open drain, open source or push-pull.
+This will happen in response to the GPIO_OPEN_DRAIN or GPIO_OPEN_SOURCE flag
+set in the machine file, or coming from other hardware descriptions.
+
+If this state can not be configured in hardware, i.e. if the GPIO hardware does
+not support open drain/open source in hardware, the GPIO library will instead
+use a trick: when a line is set as output, if the line is flagged as open
+drain, and the IN output value is low, it will be driven low as usual. But
+if the IN output value is set to high, it will instead *NOT* be driven high,
+instead it will be switched to input, as input mode is high impedance, thus
+achieveing an "open drain emulation" of sorts: electrically the behaviour will
+be identical, with the exception of possible hardware glitches when switching
+the mode of the line.
+
+For open source configuration the same principle is used, just that instead
+of actively driving the line low, it is set to input.

+I2C topology
+============
+
+There are a couple of reasons for building more complex i2c topologies
+than a straight-forward i2c bus with one adapter and one or more devices.
+
+1. A mux may be needed on the bus to prevent address collisions.
+
+2. The bus may be accessible from some external bus master, and arbitration
+ may be needed to determine if it is ok to access the bus.
+
+3. A device (particularly RF tuners) may want to avoid the digital noise
+ from the i2c bus, at least most of the time, and sits behind a gate
+ that has to be operated before the device can be accessed.
+
+Etc
+
+These constructs are represented as i2c adapter trees by Linux, where
+each adapter has a parent adapter (except the root adapter) and zero or
+more child adapters. The root adapter is the actual adapter that issues
+i2c transfers, and all adapters with a parent are part of an "i2c-mux"
+object (quoted, since it can also be an arbitrator or a gate).
+
+Depending of the particular mux driver, something happens when there is
+an i2c transfer on one of its child adapters. The mux driver can
+obviously operate a mux, but it can also do arbitration with an external
+bus master or open a gate. The mux driver has two operations for this,
+select and deselect. select is called before the transfer and (the
+optional) deselect is called after the transfer.
+
+
+Locking
+=======
+
+There are two variants of locking available to i2c muxes, they can be
+mux-locked or parent-locked muxes. As is evident from below, it can be
+useful to know if a mux is mux-locked or if it is parent-locked. The
+following list was correct at the time of writing:
+
+In drivers/i2c/muxes/
+i2c-arb-gpio-challenge Parent-locked
+i2c-mux-gpio Normally parent-locked, mux-locked iff
+ all involved gpio pins are controlled by the
+ same i2c root adapter that they mux.
+i2c-mux-pca9541 Parent-locked
+i2c-mux-pca954x Parent-locked
+i2c-mux-pinctrl Normally parent-locked, mux-locked iff
+ all involved pinctrl devices are controlled
+ by the same i2c root adapter that they mux.
+i2c-mux-reg Parent-locked
+
+In drivers/iio/
+imu/inv_mpu6050/ Mux-locked
+
+In drivers/media/
+dvb-frontends/m88ds3103 Parent-locked
+dvb-frontends/rtl2830 Parent-locked
+dvb-frontends/rtl2832 Mux-locked
+dvb-frontends/si2168 Mux-locked
+usb/cx231xx/ Parent-locked
+
+
+Mux-locked muxes
+----------------
+
+Mux-locked muxes does not lock the entire parent adapter during the
+full select-transfer-deselect transaction, only the muxes on the parent
+adapter are locked. Mux-locked muxes are mostly interesting if the
+select and/or deselect operations must use i2c transfers to complete
+their tasks. Since the parent adapter is not fully locked during the
+full transaction, unrelated i2c transfers may interleave the different
+stages of the transaction. This has the benefit that the mux driver
+may be easier and cleaner to implement, but it has some caveats.
+
+ML1. If you build a topology with a mux-locked mux being the parent
+ of a parent-locked mux, this might break the expectation from the
+ parent-locked mux that the root adapter is locked during the
+ transaction.
+
+ML2. It is not safe to build arbitrary topologies with two (or more)
+ mux-locked muxes that are not siblings, when there are address
+ collisions between the devices on the child adapters of these
+ non-sibling muxes.
+
+ I.e. the select-transfer-deselect transaction targeting e.g. device
+ address 0x42 behind mux-one may be interleaved with a similar
+ operation targeting device address 0x42 behind mux-two. The
+ intension with such a topology would in this hypothetical example
+ be that mux-one and mux-two should not be selected simultaneously,
+ but mux-locked muxes do not guarantee that in all topologies.
+
+ML3. A mux-locked mux cannot be used by a driver for auto-closing
+ gates/muxes, i.e. something that closes automatically after a given
+ number (one, in most cases) of i2c transfers. Unrelated i2c transfers
+ may creep in and close prematurely.
+
+ML4. If any non-i2c operation in the mux driver changes the i2c mux state,
+ the driver has to lock the root adapter during that operation.
+ Otherwise garbage may appear on the bus as seen from devices
+ behind the mux, when an unrelated i2c transfer is in flight during
+ the non-i2c mux-changing operation.
+
+
+Mux-locked Example
+------------------
+
+ .----------. .--------.
+ .--------. | mux- |-----| dev D1 |
+ | root |--+--| locked | '--------'
+ '--------' | | mux M1 |--. .--------.
+ | '----------' '--| dev D2 |
+ | .--------. '--------'
+ '--| dev D3 |
+ '--------'
+
+When there is an access to D1, this happens:
+
+ 1. Someone issues an i2c-transfer to D1.
+ 2. M1 locks muxes on its parent (the root adapter in this case).
+ 3. M1 calls ->select to ready the mux.
+ 4. M1 (presumably) does some i2c-transfers as part of its select.
+ These transfers are normal i2c-transfers that locks the parent
+ adapter.
+ 5. M1 feeds the i2c-transfer from step 1 to its parent adapter as a
+ normal i2c-transfer that locks the parent adapter.
+ 6. M1 calls ->deselect, if it has one.
+ 7. Same rules as in step 4, but for ->deselect.
+ 8. M1 unlocks muxes on its parent.
+
+This means that accesses to D2 are lockout out for the full duration
+of the entire operation. But accesses to D3 are possibly interleaved
+at any point.
+
+
+Parent-locked muxes
+-------------------
+
+Parent-locked muxes lock the parent adapter during the full select-
+transfer-deselect transaction. The implication is that the mux driver
+has to ensure that any and all i2c transfers through that parent
+adapter during the transaction are unlocked i2c transfers (using e.g.
+__i2c_transfer), or a deadlock will follow. There are a couple of
+caveats.
+
+PL1. If you build a topology with a parent-locked mux being the child
+ of another mux, this might break a possible assumption from the
+ child mux that the root adapter is unused between its select op
+ and the actual transfer (e.g. if the child mux is auto-closing
+ and the parent mux issus i2c-transfers as part of its select).
+ This is especially the case if the parent mux is mux-locked, but
+ it may also happen if the parent mux is parent-locked.
+
+PL2. If select/deselect calls out to other subsystems such as gpio,
+ pinctrl, regmap or iio, it is essential that any i2c transfers
+ caused by these subsystems are unlocked. This can be convoluted to
+ accomplish, maybe even impossible if an acceptably clean solution
+ is sought.
+
+
+Parent-locked Example
+---------------------
+
+ .----------. .--------.
+ .--------. | parent- |-----| dev D1 |
+ | root |--+--| locked | '--------'
+ '--------' | | mux M1 |--. .--------.
+ | '----------' '--| dev D2 |
+ | .--------. '--------'
+ '--| dev D3 |
+ '--------'
+
+When there is an access to D1, this happens:
+
+ 1. Someone issues an i2c-transfer to D1.
+ 2. M1 locks muxes on its parent (the root adapter in this case).
+ 3. M1 locks its parent adapter.
+ 4. M1 calls ->select to ready the mux.
+ 5. If M1 does any i2c-transfers (on this root adapter) as part of
+ its select, those transfers must be unlocked i2c-transfers so
+ that they do not deadlock the root adapter.
+ 6. M1 feeds the i2c-transfer from step 1 to the root adapter as an
+ unlocked i2c-transfer, so that it does not deadlock the parent
+ adapter.
+ 7. M1 calls ->deselect, if it has one.
+ 8. Same rules as in step 5, but for ->deselect.
+ 9. M1 unlocks its parent adapter.
+10. M1 unlocks muxes on its parent.
+
+
+This means that accesses to both D2 and D3 are locked out for the full
+duration of the entire operation.
+
+
+Complex Examples
+================
+
+Parent-locked mux as parent of parent-locked mux
+------------------------------------------------
+
+This is a useful topology, but it can be bad.
+
+ .----------. .----------. .--------.
+ .--------. | parent- |-----| parent- |-----| dev D1 |
+ | root |--+--| locked | | locked | '--------'
+ '--------' | | mux M1 |--. | mux M2 |--. .--------.
+ | '----------' | '----------' '--| dev D2 |
+ | .--------. | .--------. '--------'
+ '--| dev D4 | '--| dev D3 |
+ '--------' '--------'
+
+When any device is accessed, all other devices are locked out for
+the full duration of the operation (both muxes lock their parent,
+and specifically when M2 requests its parent to lock, M1 passes
+the buck to the root adapter).
+
+This topology is bad if M2 is an auto-closing mux and M1->select
+issues any unlocked i2c transfers on the root adapter that may leak
+through and be seen by the M2 adapter, thus closing M2 prematurely.
+
+
+Mux-locked mux as parent of mux-locked mux
+------------------------------------------
+
+This is a good topology.
+
+ .----------. .----------. .--------.
+ .--------. | mux- |-----| mux- |-----| dev D1 |
+ | root |--+--| locked | | locked | '--------'
+ '--------' | | mux M1 |--. | mux M2 |--. .--------.
+ | '----------' | '----------' '--| dev D2 |
+ | .--------. | .--------. '--------'
+ '--| dev D4 | '--| dev D3 |
+ '--------' '--------'
+
+When device D1 is accessed, accesses to D2 are locked out for the
+full duration of the operation (muxes on the top child adapter of M1
+are locked). But accesses to D3 and D4 are possibly interleaved at
+any point. Accesses to D3 locks out D1 and D2, but accesses to D4
+are still possibly interleaved.
+
+
+Mux-locked mux as parent of parent-locked mux
+---------------------------------------------
+
+This is probably a bad topology.
+
+ .----------. .----------. .--------.
+ .--------. | mux- |-----| parent- |-----| dev D1 |
+ | root |--+--| locked | | locked | '--------'
+ '--------' | | mux M1 |--. | mux M2 |--. .--------.
+ | '----------' | '----------' '--| dev D2 |
+ | .--------. | .--------. '--------'
+ '--| dev D4 | '--| dev D3 |
+ '--------' '--------'
+
+When device D1 is accessed, accesses to D2 and D3 are locked out
+for the full duration of the operation (M1 locks child muxes on the
+root adapter). But accesses to D4 are possibly interleaved at any
+point.
+
+This kind of topology is generally not suitable and should probably
+be avoided. The reason is that M2 probably assumes that there will
+be no i2c transfers during its calls to ->select and ->deselect, and
+if there are, any such transfers might appear on the slave side of M2
+as partial i2c transfers, i.e. garbage or worse. This might cause
+device lockups and/or other problems.
+
+The topology is especially troublesome if M2 is an auto-closing
+mux. In that case, any interleaved accesses to D4 might close M2
+prematurely, as might any i2c-transfers part of M1->select.
+
+But if M2 is not making the above stated assumption, and if M2 is not
+auto-closing, the topology is fine.
+
+
+Parent-locked mux as parent of mux-locked mux
+---------------------------------------------
+
+This is a good topology.
+
+ .----------. .----------. .--------.
+ .--------. | parent- |-----| mux- |-----| dev D1 |
+ | root |--+--| locked | | locked | '--------'
+ '--------' | | mux M1 |--. | mux M2 |--. .--------.
+ | '----------' | '----------' '--| dev D2 |
+ | .--------. | .--------. '--------'
+ '--| dev D4 | '--| dev D3 |
+ '--------' '--------'
+
+When D1 is accessed, accesses to D2 are locked out for the full
+duration of the operation (muxes on the top child adapter of M1
+are locked). Accesses to D3 and D4 are possibly interleaved at
+any point, just as is expected for mux-locked muxes.
+
+When D3 or D4 are accessed, everything else is locked out. For D3
+accesses, M1 locks the root adapter. For D4 accesses, the root
+adapter is locked directly.
+
+
+Two mux-locked sibling muxes
+----------------------------
+
+This is a good topology.
+
+ .--------.
+ .----------. .--| dev D1 |
+ | mux- |--' '--------'
+ .--| locked | .--------.
+ | | mux M1 |-----| dev D2 |
+ | '----------' '--------'
+ | .----------. .--------.
+ .--------. | | mux- |-----| dev D3 |
+ | root |--+--| locked | '--------'
+ '--------' | | mux M2 |--. .--------.
+ | '----------' '--| dev D4 |
+ | .--------. '--------'
+ '--| dev D5 |
+ '--------'
+
+When D1 is accessed, accesses to D2, D3 and D4 are locked out. But
+accesses to D5 may be interleaved at any time.
+

+ISA Drivers
+-----------
+
+The following text is adapted from the commit message of the initial
+commit of the ISA bus driver authored by Rene Herman.
+
+During the recent "isa drivers using platform devices" discussion it was
+pointed out that (ALSA) ISA drivers ran into the problem of not having
+the option to fail driver load (device registration rather) upon not
+finding their hardware due to a probe() error not being passed up
+through the driver model. In the course of that, I suggested a separate
+ISA bus might be best; Russell King agreed and suggested this bus could
+use the .match() method for the actual device discovery.
+
+The attached does this. For this old non (generically) discoverable ISA
+hardware only the driver itself can do discovery so as a difference with
+the platform_bus, this isa_bus also distributes match() up to the
+driver.
+
+As another difference: these devices only exist in the driver model due
+to the driver creating them because it might want to drive them, meaning
+that all device creation has been made internal as well.
+
+The usage model this provides is nice, and has been acked from the ALSA
+side by Takashi Iwai and Jaroslav Kysela. The ALSA driver module_init's
+now (for oldisa-only drivers) become:
+
+static int __init alsa_card_foo_init(void)
+{
+ return isa_register_driver(&snd_foo_isa_driver, SNDRV_CARDS);
+}
+
+static void __exit alsa_card_foo_exit(void)
+{
+ isa_unregister_driver(&snd_foo_isa_driver);
+}
+
+Quite like the other bus models therefore. This removes a lot of
+duplicated init code from the ALSA ISA drivers.
+
+The passed in isa_driver struct is the regular driver struct embedding a
+struct device_driver, the normal probe/remove/shutdown/suspend/resume
+callbacks, and as indicated that .match callback.
+
+The "SNDRV_CARDS" you see being passed in is a "unsigned int ndev"
+parameter, indicating how many devices to create and call our methods
+with.
+
+The platform_driver callbacks are called with a platform_device param;
+the isa_driver callbacks are being called with a "struct device *dev,
+unsigned int id" pair directly -- with the device creation completely
+internal to the bus it's much cleaner to not leak isa_dev's by passing
+them in at all. The id is the only thing we ever want other then the
+struct device * anyways, and it makes for nicer code in the callbacks as
+well.
+
+With this additional .match() callback ISA drivers have all options. If
+ALSA would want to keep the old non-load behaviour, it could stick all
+of the old .probe in .match, which would only keep them registered after
+everything was found to be present and accounted for. If it wanted the
+behaviour of always loading as it inadvertently did for a bit after the
+changeover to platform devices, it could just not provide a .match() and
+do everything in .probe() as before.
+
+If it, as Takashi Iwai already suggested earlier as a way of following
+the model from saner buses more closely, wants to load when a later bind
+could conceivably succeed, it could use .match() for the prerequisites
+(such as checking the user wants the card enabled and that port/irq/dma
+values have been passed in) and .probe() for everything else. This is
+the nicest model.
+
+To the code...
+
+This exports only two functions; isa_{,un}register_driver().
+
+isa_register_driver() register's the struct device_driver, and then
+loops over the passed in ndev creating devices and registering them.
+This causes the bus match method to be called for them, which is:
+
+int isa_bus_match(struct device *dev, struct device_driver *driver)
+{
+ struct isa_driver *isa_driver = to_isa_driver(driver);
+
+ if (dev->platform_data == isa_driver) {
+ if (!isa_driver->match ||
+ isa_driver->match(dev, to_isa_dev(dev)->id))
+ return 1;
+ dev->platform_data = NULL;
+ }
+ return 0;
+}
+
+The first thing this does is check if this device is in fact one of this
+driver's devices by seeing if the device's platform_data pointer is set
+to this driver. Platform devices compare strings, but we don't need to
+do that with everything being internal, so isa_register_driver() abuses
+dev->platform_data as a isa_driver pointer which we can then check here.
+I believe platform_data is available for this, but if rather not, moving
+the isa_driver pointer to the private struct isa_dev is ofcourse fine as
+well.
+
+Then, if the the driver did not provide a .match, it matches. If it did,
+the driver match() method is called to determine a match.
+
+If it did _not_ match, dev->platform_data is reset to indicate this to
+isa_register_driver which can then unregister the device again.
+
+If during all this, there's any error, or no devices matched at all
+everything is backed out again and the error, or -ENODEV, is returned.
+
+isa_unregister_driver() just unregisters the matched devices and the
+driver itself.
+
+module_isa_driver is a helper macro for ISA drivers which do not do
+anything special in module init/exit. This eliminates a lot of
+boilerplate code. Each module may only use this macro once, and calling
+it replaces module_init and module_exit.
+
+max_num_isa_dev is a macro to determine the maximum possible number of
+ISA devices which may be registered in the I/O port address space given
+the address extent of the ISA devices.

+
+
+1. Motivation
+=============
+
+There are many situations where users are reluctant to reboot a system. It may
+be because their system is performing complex scientific computations or under
+heavy load during peak usage. In addition to keeping systems up and running,
+users want to also have a stable and secure system. Livepatching gives users
+both by allowing for function calls to be redirected; thus, fixing critical
+functions without a system reboot.
+
+
+2. Kprobes, Ftrace, Livepatching
+================================
+
+There are multiple mechanisms in the Linux kernel that are directly related
+to redirection of code execution; namely: kernel probes, function tracing,
+and livepatching:
+
+ + The kernel probes are the most generic. The code can be redirected by
+ putting a breakpoint instruction instead of any instruction.
+
+ + The function tracer calls the code from a predefined location that is
+ close to the function entry point. This location is generated by the
+ compiler using the '-pg' gcc option.
+
+ + Livepatching typically needs to redirect the code at the very beginning
+ of the function entry before the function parameters or the stack
+ are in any way modified.
+
+All three approaches need to modify the existing code at runtime. Therefore
+they need to be aware of each other and not step over each other's toes.
+Most of these problems are solved by using the dynamic ftrace framework as
+a base. A Kprobe is registered as a ftrace handler when the function entry
+is probed, see CONFIG_KPROBES_ON_FTRACE. Also an alternative function from
+a live patch is called with the help of a custom ftrace handler. But there are
+some limitations, see below.
+
+
+3. Consistency model
+====================
+
+Functions are there for a reason. They take some input parameters, get or
+release locks, read, process, and even write some data in a defined way,
+have return values. In other words, each function has a defined semantic.
+
+Many fixes do not change the semantic of the modified functions. For
+example, they add a NULL pointer or a boundary check, fix a race by adding
+a missing memory barrier, or add some locking around a critical section.
+Most of these changes are self contained and the function presents itself
+the same way to the rest of the system. In this case, the functions might
+be updated independently one by one.
+
+But there are more complex fixes. For example, a patch might change
+ordering of locking in multiple functions at the same time. Or a patch
+might exchange meaning of some temporary structures and update
+all the relevant functions. In this case, the affected unit
+(thread, whole kernel) need to start using all new versions of
+the functions at the same time. Also the switch must happen only
+when it is safe to do so, e.g. when the affected locks are released
+or no data are stored in the modified structures at the moment.
+
+The theory about how to apply functions a safe way is rather complex.
+The aim is to define a so-called consistency model. It attempts to define
+conditions when the new implementation could be used so that the system
+stays consistent. The theory is not yet finished. See the discussion at
+http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel/1823033/focus=1828189
+
+The current consistency model is very simple. It guarantees that either
+the old or the new function is called. But various functions get redirected
+one by one without any synchronization.
+
+In other words, the current implementation _never_ modifies the behavior
+in the middle of the call. It is because it does _not_ rewrite the entire
+function in the memory. Instead, the function gets redirected at the
+very beginning. But this redirection is used immediately even when
+some other functions from the same patch have not been redirected yet.
+
+See also the section "Limitations" below.
+
+
+4. Livepatch module
+===================
+
+Livepatches are distributed using kernel modules, see
+samples/livepatch/livepatch-sample.c.
+
+The module includes a new implementation of functions that we want
+to replace. In addition, it defines some structures describing the
+relation between the original and the new implementation. Then there
+is code that makes the kernel start using the new code when the livepatch
+module is loaded. Also there is code that cleans up before the
+livepatch module is removed. All this is explained in more details in
+the next sections.
+
+
+4.1. New functions
+------------------
+
+New versions of functions are typically just copied from the original
+sources. A good practice is to add a prefix to the names so that they
+can be distinguished from the original ones, e.g. in a backtrace. Also
+they can be declared as static because they are not called directly
+and do not need the global visibility.
+
+The patch contains only functions that are really modified. But they
+might want to access functions or data from the original source file
+that may only be locally accessible. This can be solved by a special
+relocation section in the generated livepatch module, see
+Documentation/livepatch/module-elf-format.txt for more details.
+
+
+4.2. Metadata
+------------
+
+The patch is described by several structures that split the information
+into three levels:
+
+ + struct klp_func is defined for each patched function. It describes
+ the relation between the original and the new implementation of a
+ particular function.
+
+ The structure includes the name, as a string, of the original function.
+ The function address is found via kallsyms at runtime.
+
+ Then it includes the address of the new function. It is defined
+ directly by assigning the function pointer. Note that the new
+ function is typically defined in the same source file.
+
+ As an optional parameter, the symbol position in the kallsyms database can
+ be used to disambiguate functions of the same name. This is not the
+ absolute position in the database, but rather the order it has been found
+ only for a particular object ( vmlinux or a kernel module ). Note that
+ kallsyms allows for searching symbols according to the object name.
+
+ + struct klp_object defines an array of patched functions (struct
+ klp_func) in the same object. Where the object is either vmlinux
+ (NULL) or a module name.
+
+ The structure helps to group and handle functions for each object
+ together. Note that patched modules might be loaded later than
+ the patch itself and the relevant functions might be patched
+ only when they are available.
+
+
+ + struct klp_patch defines an array of patched objects (struct
+ klp_object).
+
+ This structure handles all patched functions consistently and eventually,
+ synchronously. The whole patch is applied only when all patched
+ symbols are found. The only exception are symbols from objects
+ (kernel modules) that have not been loaded yet. Also if a more complex
+ consistency model is supported then a selected unit (thread,
+ kernel as a whole) will see the new code from the entire patch
+ only when it is in a safe state.
+
+
+4.3. Livepatch module handling
+------------------------------
+
+The usual behavior is that the new functions will get used when
+the livepatch module is loaded. For this, the module init() function
+has to register the patch (struct klp_patch) and enable it. See the
+section "Livepatch life-cycle" below for more details about these
+two operations.
+
+Module removal is only safe when there are no users of the underlying
+functions. The immediate consistency model is not able to detect this;
+therefore livepatch modules cannot be removed. See "Limitations" below.
+
+5. Livepatch life-cycle
+=======================
+
+Livepatching defines four basic operations that define the life cycle of each
+live patch: registration, enabling, disabling and unregistration. There are
+several reasons why it is done this way.
+
+First, the patch is applied only when all patched symbols for already
+loaded objects are found. The error handling is much easier if this
+check is done before particular functions get redirected.
+
+Second, the immediate consistency model does not guarantee that anyone is not
+sleeping in the new code after the patch is reverted. This means that the new
+code needs to stay around "forever". If the code is there, one could apply it
+again. Therefore it makes sense to separate the operations that might be done
+once and those that need to be repeated when the patch is enabled (applied)
+again.
+
+Third, it might take some time until the entire system is migrated
+when a more complex consistency model is used. The patch revert might
+block the livepatch module removal for too long. Therefore it is useful
+to revert the patch using a separate operation that might be called
+explicitly. But it does not make sense to remove all information
+until the livepatch module is really removed.
+
+
+5.1. Registration
+-----------------
+
+Each patch first has to be registered using klp_register_patch(). This makes
+the patch known to the livepatch framework. Also it does some preliminary
+computing and checks.
+
+In particular, the patch is added into the list of known patches. The
+addresses of the patched functions are found according to their names.
+The special relocations, mentioned in the section "New functions", are
+applied. The relevant entries are created under
+/sys/kernel/livepatch/<name>. The patch is rejected when any operation
+fails.
+
+
+5.2. Enabling
+-------------
+
+Registered patches might be enabled either by calling klp_enable_patch() or
+by writing '1' to /sys/kernel/livepatch/<name>/enabled. The system will
+start using the new implementation of the patched functions at this stage.
+
+In particular, if an original function is patched for the first time, a
+function specific struct klp_ops is created and an universal ftrace handler
+is registered.
+
+Functions might be patched multiple times. The ftrace handler is registered
+only once for the given function. Further patches just add an entry to the
+list (see field `func_stack`) of the struct klp_ops. The last added
+entry is chosen by the ftrace handler and becomes the active function
+replacement.
+
+Note that the patches might be enabled in a different order than they were
+registered.
+
+
+5.3. Disabling
+--------------
+
+Enabled patches might get disabled either by calling klp_disable_patch() or
+by writing '0' to /sys/kernel/livepatch/<name>/enabled. At this stage
+either the code from the previously enabled patch or even the original
+code gets used.
+
+Here all the functions (struct klp_func) associated with the to-be-disabled
+patch are removed from the corresponding struct klp_ops. The ftrace handler
+is unregistered and the struct klp_ops is freed when the func_stack list
+becomes empty.
+
+Patches must be disabled in exactly the reverse order in which they were
+enabled. It makes the problem and the implementation much easier.
+
+
+5.4. Unregistration
+-------------------
+
+Disabled patches might be unregistered by calling klp_unregister_patch().
+This can be done only when the patch is disabled and the code is no longer
+used. It must be called before the livepatch module gets unloaded.
+
+At this stage, all the relevant sys-fs entries are removed and the patch
+is removed from the list of known patches.
+
+
+6. Sysfs
+========
+
+Information about the registered patches can be found under
+/sys/kernel/livepatch. The patches could be enabled and disabled
+by writing there.
+
+See Documentation/ABI/testing/sysfs-kernel-livepatch for more details.
+
+
+7. Limitations
+==============
+
+The current Livepatch implementation has several limitations:
+
+
+ + The patch must not change the semantic of the patched functions.
+
+ The current implementation guarantees only that either the old
+ or the new function is called. The functions are patched one
+ by one. It means that the patch must _not_ change the semantic
+ of the function.
+
+
+ + Data structures can not be patched.
+
+ There is no support to version data structures or anyhow migrate
+ one structure into another. Also the simple consistency model does
+ not allow to switch more functions atomically.
+
+ Once there is more complex consistency mode, it will be possible to
+ use some workarounds. For example, it will be possible to use a hole
+ for a new member because the data structure is aligned. Or it will
+ be possible to use an existing member for something else.
+
+ There are no plans to add more generic support for modified structures
+ at the moment.
+
+
+ + Only functions that can be traced could be patched.
+
+ Livepatch is based on the dynamic ftrace. In particular, functions
+ implementing ftrace or the livepatch ftrace handler could not be
+ patched. Otherwise, the code would end up in an infinite loop. A
+ potential mistake is prevented by marking the problematic functions
+ by "notrace".
+
+
+ + Anything inlined into __schedule() can not be patched.
+
+ The switch_to macro is inlined into __schedule(). It switches the
+ context between two processes in the middle of the macro. It does
+ not save RIP in x86_64 version (contrary to 32-bit version). Instead,
+ the currently used __schedule()/switch_to() handles both processes.
+
+ Now, let's have two different tasks. One calls the original
+ __schedule(), its registers are stored in a defined order and it
+ goes to sleep in the switch_to macro and some other task is restored
+ using the original __schedule(). Then there is the second task which
+ calls patched__schedule(), it goes to sleep there and the first task
+ is picked by the patched__schedule(). Its RSP is restored and now
+ the registers should be restored as well. But the order is different
+ in the new patched__schedule(), so...
+
+ There is work in progress to remove this limitation.
+
+
+ + Livepatch modules can not be removed.
+
+ The current implementation just redirects the functions at the very
+ beginning. It does not check if the functions are in use. In other
+ words, it knows when the functions get called but it does not
+ know when the functions return. Therefore it can not decide when
+ the livepatch module can be safely removed.
+
+ This will get most likely solved once a more complex consistency model
+ is supported. The idea is that a safe state for patching should also
+ mean a safe state for removing the patch.
+
+ Note that the patch itself might get disabled by writing zero
+ to /sys/kernel/livepatch/<patch>/enabled. It causes that the new
+ code will not longer get called. But it does not guarantee
+ that anyone is not sleeping anywhere in the new code.
+
+
+ + Livepatch works reliably only when the dynamic ftrace is located at
+ the very beginning of the function.
+
+ The function need to be redirected before the stack or the function
+ parameters are modified in any way. For example, livepatch requires
+ using -fentry gcc compiler option on x86_64.
+
+ One exception is the PPC port. It uses relative addressing and TOC.
+ Each function has to handle TOC and save LR before it could call
+ the ftrace handler. This operation has to be reverted on return.
+ Fortunately, the generic ftrace code has the same problem and all
+ this is is handled on the ftrace level.
+
+
+ + Kretprobes using the ftrace framework conflict with the patched
+ functions.
+
+ Both kretprobes and livepatches use a ftrace handler that modifies
+ the return address. The first user wins. Either the probe or the patch
+ is rejected when the handler is already in use by the other.
+
+
+ + Kprobes in the original function are ignored when the code is
+ redirected to the new implementation.
+
+ There is a work in progress to add warnings about this situation.

+----------------------------
+0. Background and motivation
+----------------------------
+
+Formerly, livepatch required separate architecture-specific code to write
+relocations. However, arch-specific code to write relocations already
+exists in the module loader, so this former approach produced redundant
+code. So, instead of duplicating code and re-implementing what the module
+loader can already do, livepatch leverages existing code in the module
+loader to perform the all the arch-specific relocation work. Specifically,
+livepatch reuses the apply_relocate_add() function in the module loader to
+write relocations. The patch module Elf format described in this document
+enables livepatch to be able to do this. The hope is that this will make
+livepatch more easily portable to other architectures and reduce the amount
+of arch-specific code required to port livepatch to a particular
+architecture.
+
+Since apply_relocate_add() requires access to a module's section header
+table, symbol table, and relocation section indices, Elf information is
+preserved for livepatch modules (see section 4). Livepatch manages its own
+relocation sections and symbols, which are described in this document. The
+Elf constants used to mark livepatch symbols and relocation sections were
+selected from OS-specific ranges according to the definitions from glibc.
+
+0.1 Why does livepatch need to write its own relocations?
+---------------------------------------------------------
+A typical livepatch module contains patched versions of functions that can
+reference non-exported global symbols and non-included local symbols.
+Relocations referencing these types of symbols cannot be left in as-is
+since the kernel module loader cannot resolve them and will therefore
+reject the livepatch module. Furthermore, we cannot apply relocations that
+affect modules not yet loaded at patch module load time (e.g. a patch to a
+driver that is not loaded). Formerly, livepatch solved this problem by
+embedding special "dynrela" (dynamic rela) sections in the resulting patch
+module Elf output. Using these dynrela sections, livepatch could resolve
+symbols while taking into account its scope and what module the symbol
+belongs to, and then manually apply the dynamic relocations. However this
+approach required livepatch to supply arch-specific code in order to write
+these relocations. In the new format, livepatch manages its own SHT_RELA
+relocation sections in place of dynrela sections, and the symbols that the
+relas reference are special livepatch symbols (see section 2 and 3). The
+arch-specific livepatch relocation code is replaced by a call to
+apply_relocate_add().
+
+================================
+PATCH MODULE FORMAT REQUIREMENTS
+================================
+
+--------------------------
+1. Livepatch modinfo field
+--------------------------
+
+Livepatch modules are required to have the "livepatch" modinfo attribute.
+See the sample livepatch module in samples/livepatch/ for how this is done.
+
+Livepatch modules can be identified by users by using the 'modinfo' command
+and looking for the presence of the "livepatch" field. This field is also
+used by the kernel module loader to identify livepatch modules.
+
+Example modinfo output:
+-----------------------
+% modinfo livepatch-meminfo.ko
+filename: livepatch-meminfo.ko
+livepatch: Y
+license: GPL
+depends:
+vermagic: 4.3.0+ SMP mod_unload
+
+--------------------------------
+2. Livepatch relocation sections
+--------------------------------
+
+-------------------------------------------
+2.1 What are livepatch relocation sections?
+-------------------------------------------
+A livepatch module manages its own Elf relocation sections to apply
+relocations to modules as well as to the kernel (vmlinux) at the
+appropriate time. For example, if a patch module patches a driver that is
+not currently loaded, livepatch will apply the corresponding livepatch
+relocation section(s) to the driver once it loads.
+
+Each "object" (e.g. vmlinux, or a module) within a patch module may have
+multiple livepatch relocation sections associated with it (e.g. patches to
+multiple functions within the same object). There is a 1-1 correspondence
+between a livepatch relocation section and the target section (usually the
+text section of a function) to which the relocation(s) apply. It is
+also possible for a livepatch module to have no livepatch relocation
+sections, as in the case of the sample livepatch module (see
+samples/livepatch).
+
+Since Elf information is preserved for livepatch modules (see Section 4), a
+livepatch relocation section can be applied simply by passing in the
+appropriate section index to apply_relocate_add(), which then uses it to
+access the relocation section and apply the relocations.
+
+Every symbol referenced by a rela in a livepatch relocation section is a
+livepatch symbol. These must be resolved before livepatch can call
+apply_relocate_add(). See Section 3 for more information.
+
+---------------------------------------
+2.2 Livepatch relocation section format
+---------------------------------------
+
+2.2.1 Required flags
+--------------------
+Livepatch relocation sections must be marked with the SHF_RELA_LIVEPATCH
+section flag. See include/uapi/linux/elf.h for the definition. The module
+loader recognizes this flag and will avoid applying those relocation sections
+at patch module load time. These sections must also be marked with SHF_ALLOC,
+so that the module loader doesn't discard them on module load (i.e. they will
+be copied into memory along with the other SHF_ALLOC sections).
+
+2.2.2 Required name format
+--------------------------
+The name of a livepatch relocation section must conform to the following format:
+
+.klp.rela.objname.section_name
+^ ^^ ^ ^ ^
+|________||_____| |__________|
+ [A] [B] [C]
+
+[A] The relocation section name is prefixed with the string ".klp.rela."
+[B] The name of the object (i.e. "vmlinux" or name of module) to
+ which the relocation section belongs follows immediately after the prefix.
+[C] The actual name of the section to which this relocation section applies.
+

+ [*]
+[*] Every symbol referenced by a relocation is a livepatch symbol.
+
+--------------------
+3. Livepatch symbols
+--------------------
+
+-------------------------------
+3.1 What are livepatch symbols?
+-------------------------------
+Livepatch symbols are symbols referred to by livepatch relocation sections.
+These are symbols accessed from new versions of functions for patched
+objects, whose addresses cannot be resolved by the module loader (because
+they are local or unexported global syms). Since the module loader only
+resolves exported syms, and not every symbol referenced by the new patched
+functions is exported, livepatch symbols were introduced. They are used
+also in cases where we cannot immediately know the address of a symbol when
+a patch module loads. For example, this is the case when livepatch patches
+a module that is not loaded yet. In this case, the relevant livepatch
+symbols are resolved simply when the target module loads. In any case, for
+any livepatch relocation section, all livepatch symbols referenced by that
+section must be resolved before livepatch can call apply_relocate_add() for
+that reloc section.
+
+Livepatch symbols must be marked with SHN_LIVEPATCH so that the module
+loader can identify and ignore them. Livepatch modules keep these symbols
+in their symbol tables, and the symbol table is made accessible through
+module->symtab.
+
+-------------------------------------
+3.2 A livepatch module's symbol table
+-------------------------------------
+Normally, a stripped down copy of a module's symbol table (containing only
+"core" symbols) is made available through module->symtab (See layout_symtab()
+in kernel/module.c). For livepatch modules, the symbol table copied into memory
+on module load must be exactly the same as the symbol table produced when the
+patch module was compiled. This is because the relocations in each livepatch
+relocation section refer to their respective symbols with their symbol indices,
+and the original symbol indices (and thus the symtab ordering) must be
+preserved in order for apply_relocate_add() to find the right symbol.
+
+For example, take this particular rela from a livepatch module:
+Relocation section '.klp.rela.btrfs.text.btrfs_feature_attr_show' at offset 0x2ba0 contains 4 entries:
+ Offset Info Type Symbol's Value Symbol's Name + Addend
+000000000000001f 0000005e00000002 R_X86_64_PC32 0000000000000000 .klp.sym.vmlinux.printk,0 - 4
+
+This rela refers to the symbol '.klp.sym.vmlinux.printk,0', and the symbol index is encoded
+in 'Info'. Here its symbol index is 0x5e, which is 94 in decimal, which refers to the
+symbol index 94.
+And in this patch module's corresponding symbol table, symbol index 94 refers to that very symbol:
+[ snip ]
+94: 0000000000000000 0 NOTYPE GLOBAL DEFAULT OS [0xff20] .klp.sym.vmlinux.printk,0
+[ snip ]
+
+---------------------------
+3.3 Livepatch symbol format
+---------------------------
+
+3.3.1 Required flags
+--------------------
+Livepatch symbols must have their section index marked as SHN_LIVEPATCH, so
+that the module loader can identify them and not attempt to resolve them.
+See include/uapi/linux/elf.h for the actual definitions.
+
+3.3.2 Required name format
+--------------------------
+Livepatch symbol names must conform to the following format:
+
+.klp.sym.objname.symbol_name,sympos
+^ ^^ ^ ^ ^ ^
+|_______||_____| |_________| |
+ [A] [B] [C] [D]
+
+[A] The symbol name is prefixed with the string ".klp.sym."
+[B] The name of the object (i.e. "vmlinux" or name of module) to
+ which the symbol belongs follows immediately after the prefix.
+[C] The actual name of the symbol.
+[D] The position of the symbol in the object (as according to kallsyms)
+ This is used to differentiate duplicate symbols within the same
+ object. The symbol position is expressed numerically (0, 1, 2...).
+ The symbol position of a unique symbol is 0.
+
+3.3.3 Example livepatch symbol names:
+-------------------------------------
+.klp.sym.vmlinux.snprintf,0
+.klp.sym.vmlinux.printk,0
+.klp.sym.btrfs.btrfs_ktype,0
+
+3.3.4 Example `readelf --symbols` output for a patch module:
+------------------------------------------------------------
+Symbol table '.symtab' contains 127 entries:
+ Num: Value Size Type Bind Vis Ndx Name
+ [ snip ]
+ 73: 0000000000000000 0 NOTYPE GLOBAL DEFAULT OS [0xff20] .klp.sym.vmlinux.snprintf,0

+ 76: 0000000000000000 0 NOTYPE GLOBAL DEFAULT OS [0xff20] .klp.sym.vmlinux.si_swapinfo,0
+ [ snip ] ^
+ |
+ [*]
+[*] Note that the 'Ndx' (Section index) for these symbols is SHN_LIVEPATCH (0xff20).
+ "OS" means OS-specific.
+
+--------------------------------------
+4. Symbol table and Elf section access
+--------------------------------------
+A livepatch module's symbol table is accessible through module->symtab.
+
+Since apply_relocate_add() requires access to a module's section headers,
+symbol table, and relocation section indices, Elf information is preserved for
+livepatch modules and is made accessible by the module loader through
+module->klp_info, which is a klp_modinfo struct. When a livepatch module loads,
+this struct is filled in by the module loader. Its fields are documented below:
+
+struct klp_modinfo {
+ Elf_Ehdr hdr; /* Elf header */
+ Elf_Shdr *sechdrs; /* Section header table */
+ char *secstrings; /* String table for the section headers */
+ unsigned int symndx; /* The symbol table section index */
+};

+DISCLAIMER
+==========
+
+This document is not a specification; it is intentionally (for the sake of
+brevity) and unintentionally (due to being human) incomplete. This document is
+meant as a guide to using the various memory barriers provided by Linux, but
+in case of any doubt (and there are many) please ask.
+
+To repeat, this document is not a specification of what Linux expects from
+hardware.
+
+The purpose of this document is twofold:
+
+ (1) to specify the minimum functionality that one can rely on for any
+ particular barrier, and
+
+ (2) to provide a guide as to how to use the barriers that are available.
+
+Note that an architecture can provide more than the minimum requirement
+for any particular barrier, but if the architecure provides less than
+that, that architecture is incorrect.
+
+Note also that it is possible that a barrier may be a no-op for an
+architecture because the way that arch works renders an explicit barrier
+unnecessary in that case.

+Direct packet access
+--------------------
+In cls_bpf and act_bpf programs the verifier allows direct access to the packet
+data via skb->data and skb->data_end pointers.
+Ex:
+1: r4 = *(u32 *)(r1 +80) /* load skb->data_end */
+2: r3 = *(u32 *)(r1 +76) /* load skb->data */
+3: r5 = r3
+4: r5 += 14
+5: if r5 > r4 goto pc+16
+R1=ctx R3=pkt(id=0,off=0,r=14) R4=pkt_end R5=pkt(id=0,off=14,r=14) R10=fp
+6: r0 = *(u16 *)(r3 +12) /* access 12 and 13 bytes of the packet */
+
+this 2byte load from the packet is safe to do, since the program author
+did check 'if (skb->data + 14 > skb->data_end) goto err' at insn #5 which
+means that in the fall-through case the register R3 (which points to skb->data)
+has at least 14 directly accessible bytes. The verifier marks it
+as R3=pkt(id=0,off=0,r=14).
+id=0 means that no additional variables were added to the register.
+off=0 means that no additional constants were added.
+r=14 is the range of safe access which means that bytes [R3, R3 + 14) are ok.
+Note that R5 is marked as R5=pkt(id=0,off=14,r=14). It also points
+to the packet data, but constant 14 was added to the register, so
+it now points to 'skb->data + 14' and accessible range is [R5, R5 + 14 - 14)
+which is zero bytes.
+
+More complex packet access may look like:
+ R0=imm1 R1=ctx R3=pkt(id=0,off=0,r=14) R4=pkt_end R5=pkt(id=0,off=14,r=14) R10=fp
+ 6: r0 = *(u8 *)(r3 +7) /* load 7th byte from the packet */
+ 7: r4 = *(u8 *)(r3 +12)
+ 8: r4 *= 14
+ 9: r3 = *(u32 *)(r1 +76) /* load skb->data */
+10: r3 += r4
+11: r2 = r1
+12: r2 <<= 48
+13: r2 >>= 48
+14: r3 += r2
+15: r2 = r3
+16: r2 += 8
+17: r1 = *(u32 *)(r1 +80) /* load skb->data_end */
+18: if r2 > r1 goto pc+2
+ R0=inv56 R1=pkt_end R2=pkt(id=2,off=8,r=8) R3=pkt(id=2,off=0,r=8) R4=inv52 R5=pkt(id=0,off=14,r=14) R10=fp
+19: r1 = *(u8 *)(r3 +4)
+The state of the register R3 is R3=pkt(id=2,off=0,r=8)
+id=2 means that two 'r3 += rX' instructions were seen, so r3 points to some
+offset within a packet and since the program author did
+'if (r3 + 8 > r1) goto err' at insn #18, the safe range is [R3, R3 + 8).
+The verifier only allows 'add' operation on packet registers. Any other
+operation will set the register state to 'unknown_value' and it won't be
+available for direct packet access.
+Operation 'r3 += rX' may overflow and become less than original skb->data,
+therefore the verifier has to prevent that. So it tracks the number of
+upper zero bits in all 'uknown_value' registers, so when it sees
+'r3 += rX' instruction and rX is more than 16-bit value, it will error as:
+"cannot add integer value with N upper zero bits to ptr_to_packet"
+Ex. after insn 'r4 = *(u8 *)(r3 +12)' (insn #7 above) the state of r4 is
+R4=inv56 which means that upper 56 bits on the register are guaranteed
+to be zero. After insn 'r4 *= 14' the state becomes R4=inv52, since
+multiplying 8-bit value by constant 14 will keep upper 52 bits as zero.
+Similarly 'r2 >>= 48' will make R2=inv48, since the shift is not sign
+extending. This logic is implemented in evaluate_reg_alu() function.
+
+The end result is that bpf program author can access packet directly
+using normal C code as:
+ void *data = (void *)(long)skb->data;
+ void *data_end = (void *)(long)skb->data_end;
+ struct eth_hdr *eth = data;
+ struct iphdr *iph = data + sizeof(*eth);
+ struct udphdr *udp = data + sizeof(*eth) + sizeof(*iph);
+
+ if (data + sizeof(*eth) + sizeof(*iph) + sizeof(*udp) > data_end)
+ return 0;
+ if (eth->h_proto != htons(ETH_P_IP))
+ return 0;
+ if (iph->protocol != IPPROTO_UDP || iph->ihl != 5)
+ return 0;
+ if (udp->dest == 53 || udp->source == 9)
+ ...;
+which makes such programs easier to write comparing to LD_ABS insn
+and significantly faster.

+Segmentation Offloads in the Linux Networking Stack
+
+Introduction
+============
+
+This document describes a set of techniques in the Linux networking stack
+to take advantage of segmentation offload capabilities of various NICs.
+
+The following technologies are described:
+ * TCP Segmentation Offload - TSO
+ * UDP Fragmentation Offload - UFO
+ * IPIP, SIT, GRE, and UDP Tunnel Offloads
+ * Generic Segmentation Offload - GSO
+ * Generic Receive Offload - GRO
+ * Partial Generic Segmentation Offload - GSO_PARTIAL
+
+TCP Segmentation Offload
+========================
+
+TCP segmentation allows a device to segment a single frame into multiple
+frames with a data payload size specified in skb_shinfo()->gso_size.
+When TCP segmentation requested the bit for either SKB_GSO_TCP or
+SKB_GSO_TCP6 should be set in skb_shinfo()->gso_type and
+skb_shinfo()->gso_size should be set to a non-zero value.
+
+TCP segmentation is dependent on support for the use of partial checksum
+offload. For this reason TSO is normally disabled if the Tx checksum
+offload for a given device is disabled.
+
+In order to support TCP segmentation offload it is necessary to populate
+the network and transport header offsets of the skbuff so that the device
+drivers will be able determine the offsets of the IP or IPv6 header and the
+TCP header. In addition as CHECKSUM_PARTIAL is required csum_start should
+also point to the TCP header of the packet.
+
+For IPv4 segmentation we support one of two types in terms of the IP ID.
+The default behavior is to increment the IP ID with every segment. If the
+GSO type SKB_GSO_TCP_FIXEDID is specified then we will not increment the IP
+ID and all segments will use the same IP ID. If a device has
+NETIF_F_TSO_MANGLEID set then the IP ID can be ignored when performing TSO
+and we will either increment the IP ID for all frames, or leave it at a
+static value based on driver preference.
+
+UDP Fragmentation Offload
+=========================
+
+UDP fragmentation offload allows a device to fragment an oversized UDP
+datagram into multiple IPv4 fragments. Many of the requirements for UDP
+fragmentation offload are the same as TSO. However the IPv4 ID for
+fragments should not increment as a single IPv4 datagram is fragmented.
+
+IPIP, SIT, GRE, UDP Tunnel, and Remote Checksum Offloads
+========================================================
+
+In addition to the offloads described above it is possible for a frame to
+contain additional headers such as an outer tunnel. In order to account
+for such instances an additional set of segmentation offload types were
+introduced including SKB_GSO_IPIP, SKB_GSO_SIT, SKB_GSO_GRE, and
+SKB_GSO_UDP_TUNNEL. These extra segmentation types are used to identify
+cases where there are more than just 1 set of headers. For example in the
+case of IPIP and SIT we should have the network and transport headers moved
+from the standard list of headers to "inner" header offsets.
+
+Currently only two levels of headers are supported. The convention is to
+refer to the tunnel headers as the outer headers, while the encapsulated
+data is normally referred to as the inner headers. Below is the list of
+calls to access the given headers:
+
+IPIP/SIT Tunnel:
+ Outer Inner
+MAC skb_mac_header
+Network skb_network_header skb_inner_network_header
+Transport skb_transport_header
+
+UDP/GRE Tunnel:
+ Outer Inner
+MAC skb_mac_header skb_inner_mac_header
+Network skb_network_header skb_inner_network_header
+Transport skb_transport_header skb_inner_transport_header
+
+In addition to the above tunnel types there are also SKB_GSO_GRE_CSUM and
+SKB_GSO_UDP_TUNNEL_CSUM. These two additional tunnel types reflect the
+fact that the outer header also requests to have a non-zero checksum
+included in the outer header.
+
+Finally there is SKB_GSO_REMCSUM which indicates that a given tunnel header
+has requested a remote checksum offload. In this case the inner headers
+will be left with a partial checksum and only the outer header checksum
+will be computed.
+
+Generic Segmentation Offload
+============================
+
+Generic segmentation offload is a pure software offload that is meant to
+deal with cases where device drivers cannot perform the offloads described
+above. What occurs in GSO is that a given skbuff will have its data broken
+out over multiple skbuffs that have been resized to match the MSS provided
+via skb_shinfo()->gso_size.
+
+Before enabling any hardware segmentation offload a corresponding software
+offload is required in GSO. Otherwise it becomes possible for a frame to
+be re-routed between devices and end up being unable to be transmitted.
+
+Generic Receive Offload
+=======================
+
+Generic receive offload is the complement to GSO. Ideally any frame
+assembled by GRO should be segmented to create an identical sequence of
+frames using GSO, and any sequence of frames segmented by GSO should be
+able to be reassembled back to the original by GRO. The only exception to
+this is IPv4 ID in the case that the DF bit is set for a given IP header.
+If the value of the IPv4 ID is not sequentially incrementing it will be
+altered so that it is when a frame assembled via GRO is segmented via GSO.
+
+Partial Generic Segmentation Offload
+====================================
+
+Partial generic segmentation offload is a hybrid between TSO and GSO. What
+it effectively does is take advantage of certain traits of TCP and tunnels
+so that instead of having to rewrite the packet headers for each segment
+only the inner-most transport header and possibly the outer-most network
+header need to be updated. This allows devices that do not support tunnel
+offloads or tunnel offloads with checksum to still make use of segmentation.
+
+With the partial offload what occurs is that all headers excluding the
+inner transport header are updated such that they will contain the correct
+values for if the header was simply duplicated. The one exception to this
+is the outer IPv4 ID field. It is up to the device drivers to guarantee
+that the IPv4 ID field is incremented in the case that a given header does
+not have the DF bit set.

+4.12) TSO support (GMAC4.x)
+
+TSO (Tcp Segmentation Offload) feature is supported by GMAC 4.x chip family.
+When a packet is sent through TCP protocol, the TCP stack ensures that
+the SKB provided to the low level driver (stmmac in our case) matches with
+the maximum frame len (IP header + TCP header + payload <= 1500 bytes (for
+MTU set to 1500)). It means that if an application using TCP want to send a
+packet which will have a length (after adding headers) > 1514 the packet
+will be split in several TCP packets: The data payload is split and headers
+(TCP/IP ..) are added. It is done by software.
+
+When TSO is enabled, the TCP stack doesn't care about the maximum frame
+length and provide SKB packet to stmmac as it is. The GMAC IP will have to
+perform the segmentation by it self to match with maximum frame length.
+
+This feature can be enabled in device tree through "snps,tso" entry.

+# Kernel Self-Protection
+
+Kernel self-protection is the design and implementation of systems and
+structures within the Linux kernel to protect against security flaws in
+the kernel itself. This covers a wide range of issues, including removing
+entire classes of bugs, blocking security flaw exploitation methods,
+and actively detecting attack attempts. Not all topics are explored in
+this document, but it should serve as a reasonable starting point and
+answer any frequently asked questions. (Patches welcome, of course!)
+
+In the worst-case scenario, we assume an unprivileged local attacker
+has arbitrary read and write access to the kernel's memory. In many
+cases, bugs being exploited will not provide this level of access,
+but with systems in place that defend against the worst case we'll
+cover the more limited cases as well. A higher bar, and one that should
+still be kept in mind, is protecting the kernel against a _privileged_
+local attacker, since the root user has access to a vastly increased
+attack surface. (Especially when they have the ability to load arbitrary
+kernel modules.)
+
+The goals for successful self-protection systems would be that they
+are effective, on by default, require no opt-in by developers, have no
+performance impact, do not impede kernel debugging, and have tests. It
+is uncommon that all these goals can be met, but it is worth explicitly
+mentioning them, since these aspects need to be explored, dealt with,
+and/or accepted.
+
+
+## Attack Surface Reduction
+
+The most fundamental defense against security exploits is to reduce the
+areas of the kernel that can be used to redirect execution. This ranges
+from limiting the exposed APIs available to userspace, making in-kernel
+APIs hard to use incorrectly, minimizing the areas of writable kernel
+memory, etc.
+
+### Strict kernel memory permissions
+
+When all of kernel memory is writable, it becomes trivial for attacks
+to redirect execution flow. To reduce the availability of these targets
+the kernel needs to protect its memory with a tight set of permissions.
+
+#### Executable code and read-only data must not be writable
+
+Any areas of the kernel with executable memory must not be writable.
+While this obviously includes the kernel text itself, we must consider
+all additional places too: kernel modules, JIT memory, etc. (There are
+temporary exceptions to this rule to support things like instruction
+alternatives, breakpoints, kprobes, etc. If these must exist in a
+kernel, they are implemented in a way where the memory is temporarily
+made writable during the update, and then returned to the original
+permissions.)
+
+In support of this are (the poorly named) CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA and
+CONFIG_DEBUG_SET_MODULE_RONX, which seek to make sure that code is not
+writable, data is not executable, and read-only data is neither writable
+nor executable.
+
+#### Function pointers and sensitive variables must not be writable
+
+Vast areas of kernel memory contain function pointers that are looked
+up by the kernel and used to continue execution (e.g. descriptor/vector
+tables, file/network/etc operation structures, etc). The number of these
+variables must be reduced to an absolute minimum.
+
+Many such variables can be made read-only by setting them "const"
+so that they live in the .rodata section instead of the .data section
+of the kernel, gaining the protection of the kernel's strict memory
+permissions as described above.
+
+For variables that are initialized once at __init time, these can
+be marked with the (new and under development) __ro_after_init
+attribute.
+
+What remains are variables that are updated rarely (e.g. GDT). These
+will need another infrastructure (similar to the temporary exceptions
+made to kernel code mentioned above) that allow them to spend the rest
+of their lifetime read-only. (For example, when being updated, only the
+CPU thread performing the update would be given uninterruptible write
+access to the memory.)
+
+#### Segregation of kernel memory from userspace memory
+
+The kernel must never execute userspace memory. The kernel must also never
+access userspace memory without explicit expectation to do so. These
+rules can be enforced either by support of hardware-based restrictions
+(x86's SMEP/SMAP, ARM's PXN/PAN) or via emulation (ARM's Memory Domains).
+By blocking userspace memory in this way, execution and data parsing
+cannot be passed to trivially-controlled userspace memory, forcing
+attacks to operate entirely in kernel memory.
+
+### Reduced access to syscalls
+
+One trivial way to eliminate many syscalls for 64-bit systems is building
+without CONFIG_COMPAT. However, this is rarely a feasible scenario.
+
+The "seccomp" system provides an opt-in feature made available to
+userspace, which provides a way to reduce the number of kernel entry
+points available to a running process. This limits the breadth of kernel
+code that can be reached, possibly reducing the availability of a given
+bug to an attack.
+
+An area of improvement would be creating viable ways to keep access to
+things like compat, user namespaces, BPF creation, and perf limited only
+to trusted processes. This would keep the scope of kernel entry points
+restricted to the more regular set of normally available to unprivileged
+userspace.
+
+### Restricting access to kernel modules
+
+The kernel should never allow an unprivileged user the ability to
+load specific kernel modules, since that would provide a facility to
+unexpectedly extend the available attack surface. (The on-demand loading
+of modules via their predefined subsystems, e.g. MODULE_ALIAS_*, is
+considered "expected" here, though additional consideration should be
+given even to these.) For example, loading a filesystem module via an
+unprivileged socket API is nonsense: only the root or physically local
+user should trigger filesystem module loading. (And even this can be up
+for debate in some scenarios.)
+
+To protect against even privileged users, systems may need to either
+disable module loading entirely (e.g. monolithic kernel builds or
+modules_disabled sysctl), or provide signed modules (e.g.
+CONFIG_MODULE_SIG_FORCE, or dm-crypt with LoadPin), to keep from having
+root load arbitrary kernel code via the module loader interface.
+
+
+## Memory integrity
+
+There are many memory structures in the kernel that are regularly abused
+to gain execution control during an attack, By far the most commonly
+understood is that of the stack buffer overflow in which the return
+address stored on the stack is overwritten. Many other examples of this
+kind of attack exist, and protections exist to defend against them.
+
+### Stack buffer overflow
+
+The classic stack buffer overflow involves writing past the expected end
+of a variable stored on the stack, ultimately writing a controlled value
+to the stack frame's stored return address. The most widely used defense
+is the presence of a stack canary between the stack variables and the
+return address (CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR), which is verified just before
+the function returns. Other defenses include things like shadow stacks.
+
+### Stack depth overflow
+
+A less well understood attack is using a bug that triggers the
+kernel to consume stack memory with deep function calls or large stack
+allocations. With this attack it is possible to write beyond the end of
+the kernel's preallocated stack space and into sensitive structures. Two
+important changes need to be made for better protections: moving the
+sensitive thread_info structure elsewhere, and adding a faulting memory
+hole at the bottom of the stack to catch these overflows.
+
+### Heap memory integrity
+
+The structures used to track heap free lists can be sanity-checked during
+allocation and freeing to make sure they aren't being used to manipulate
+other memory areas.
+
+### Counter integrity
+
+Many places in the kernel use atomic counters to track object references
+or perform similar lifetime management. When these counters can be made
+to wrap (over or under) this traditionally exposes a use-after-free
+flaw. By trapping atomic wrapping, this class of bug vanishes.
+
+### Size calculation overflow detection
+
+Similar to counter overflow, integer overflows (usually size calculations)
+need to be detected at runtime to kill this class of bug, which
+traditionally leads to being able to write past the end of kernel buffers.
+
+
+## Statistical defenses
+
+While many protections can be considered deterministic (e.g. read-only
+memory cannot be written to), some protections provide only statistical
+defense, in that an attack must gather enough information about a
+running system to overcome the defense. While not perfect, these do
+provide meaningful defenses.
+
+### Canaries, blinding, and other secrets
+
+It should be noted that things like the stack canary discussed earlier
+are technically statistical defenses, since they rely on a (leakable)
+secret value.
+
+Blinding literal values for things like JITs, where the executable
+contents may be partially under the control of userspace, need a similar
+secret value.
+
+It is critical that the secret values used must be separate (e.g.
+different canary per stack) and high entropy (e.g. is the RNG actually
+working?) in order to maximize their success.
+
+### Kernel Address Space Layout Randomization (KASLR)
+
+Since the location of kernel memory is almost always instrumental in
+mounting a successful attack, making the location non-deterministic
+raises the difficulty of an exploit. (Note that this in turn makes
+the value of leaks higher, since they may be used to discover desired
+memory locations.)
+
+#### Text and module base
+
+By relocating the physical and virtual base address of the kernel at
+boot-time (CONFIG_RANDOMIZE_BASE), attacks needing kernel code will be
+frustrated. Additionally, offsetting the module loading base address
+means that even systems that load the same set of modules in the same
+order every boot will not share a common base address with the rest of
+the kernel text.
+
+#### Stack base
+
+If the base address of the kernel stack is not the same between processes,
+or even not the same between syscalls, targets on or beyond the stack
+become more difficult to locate.
+
+#### Dynamic memory base
+
+Much of the kernel's dynamic memory (e.g. kmalloc, vmalloc, etc) ends up
+being relatively deterministic in layout due to the order of early-boot
+initializations. If the base address of these areas is not the same
+between boots, targeting them is frustrated, requiring a leak specific
+to the region.
+
+
+## Preventing Leaks
+
+Since the locations of sensitive structures are the primary target for
+attacks, it is important to defend against leaks of both kernel memory
+addresses and kernel memory contents (since they may contain kernel
+addresses or other sensitive things like canary values).
+
+### Unique identifiers
+
+Kernel memory addresses must never be used as identifiers exposed to
+userspace. Instead, use an atomic counter, an idr, or similar unique
+identifier.
+
+### Memory initialization
+
+Memory copied to userspace must always be fully initialized. If not
+explicitly memset(), this will require changes to the compiler to make
+sure structure holes are cleared.
+
+### Memory poisoning
+
+When releasing memory, it is best to poison the contents (clear stack on
+syscall return, wipe heap memory on a free), to avoid reuse attacks that
+rely on the old contents of memory. This frustrates many uninitialized
+variable attacks, stack info leaks, heap info leaks, and use-after-free
+attacks.
+
+### Destination tracking
+
+To help kill classes of bugs that result in kernel addresses being
+written to userspace, the destination of writes needs to be tracked. If
+the buffer is destined for userspace (e.g. seq_file backed /proc files),
+it should automatically censor sensitive values.

+of attaching a fence to the buffer a producer driver (such as a GPU or V4L
+driver) sends the fence related to the buffer to userspace via a sync_file.
+
+The sync_file then can be sent to the consumer (DRM driver for example), that
+will not use the buffer for anything before the fence(s) signals, i.e., the
+driver that issued the fence is not using/processing the buffer anymore, so it
+signals that the buffer is ready to use. And vice-versa for the consumer ->
+producer part of the cycle.
+
+Sync files allows userspace awareness on buffer sharing synchronization between
+drivers.
+
+Sync file was originally added in the Android kernel but current Linux Desktop
+can benefit a lot from it.
+
+in-fences and out-fences
+------------------------
+
+Sync files can go either to or from userspace. When a sync_file is sent from
+the driver to userspace we call the fences it contains 'out-fences'. They are
+related to a buffer that the driver is processing or is going to process, so
+the driver an create out-fence to be able to notify, through fence_signal(),
+when it has finished using (or processing) that buffer. Out-fences are fences
+that the driver creates.
+
+On the other hand if the driver receives fence(s) through a sync_file from
+userspace we call these fence(s) 'in-fences'. Receiveing in-fences means that
+we need to wait for the fence(s) to signal before using any buffer related to
+the in-fences.
+
+Creating Sync Files
+-------------------
+
+When a driver needs to send an out-fence userspace it creates a sync_file.
+
+Interface:
+ struct sync_file *sync_file_create(struct fence *fence);
+
+The caller pass the out-fence and gets back the sync_file. That is just the
+first step, next it needs to install an fd on sync_file->file. So it gets an
+fd:
+
+ fd = get_unused_fd_flags(O_CLOEXEC);
+
+and installs it on sync_file->file:
+
+ fd_install(fd, sync_file->file);
+
+The sync_file fd now can be sent to userspace.
+
+If the creation process fail, or the sync_file needs to be released by any
+other reason fput(sync_file->file) should be used.

Note that there can be only one traceon or traceoff trigger per
triggering event.
+
+- hist
+
+ This command aggregates event hits into a hash table keyed on one or
+ more trace event format fields (or stacktrace) and a set of running
+ totals derived from one or more trace event format fields and/or
+ event counts (hitcount).
+
+ The format of a hist trigger is as follows:
+
+ hist:keys=<field1[,field2,...]>[:values=<field1[,field2,...]>]
+ [:sort=<field1[,field2,...]>][:size=#entries][:pause][:continue]
+ [:clear][:name=histname1] [if <filter>]
+
+ When a matching event is hit, an entry is added to a hash table
+ using the key(s) and value(s) named. Keys and values correspond to
+ fields in the event's format description. Values must correspond to
+ numeric fields - on an event hit, the value(s) will be added to a
+ sum kept for that field. The special string 'hitcount' can be used
+ in place of an explicit value field - this is simply a count of
+ event hits. If 'values' isn't specified, an implicit 'hitcount'
+ value will be automatically created and used as the only value.
+ Keys can be any field, or the special string 'stacktrace', which
+ will use the event's kernel stacktrace as the key. The keywords
+ 'keys' or 'key' can be used to specify keys, and the keywords
+ 'values', 'vals', or 'val' can be used to specify values. Compound
+ keys consisting of up to two fields can be specified by the 'keys'
+ keyword. Hashing a compound key produces a unique entry in the
+ table for each unique combination of component keys, and can be
+ useful for providing more fine-grained summaries of event data.
+ Additionally, sort keys consisting of up to two fields can be
+ specified by the 'sort' keyword. If more than one field is
+ specified, the result will be a 'sort within a sort': the first key
+ is taken to be the primary sort key and the second the secondary
+ key. If a hist trigger is given a name using the 'name' parameter,
+ its histogram data will be shared with other triggers of the same
+ name, and trigger hits will update this common data. Only triggers
+ with 'compatible' fields can be combined in this way; triggers are
+ 'compatible' if the fields named in the trigger share the same
+ number and type of fields and those fields also have the same names.
+ Note that any two events always share the compatible 'hitcount' and
+ 'stacktrace' fields and can therefore be combined using those
+ fields, however pointless that may be.
+
+ 'hist' triggers add a 'hist' file to each event's subdirectory.
+ Reading the 'hist' file for the event will dump the hash table in
+ its entirety to stdout. If there are multiple hist triggers
+ attached to an event, there will be a table for each trigger in the
+ output. The table displayed for a named trigger will be the same as
+ any other instance having the same name. Each printed hash table
+ entry is a simple list of the keys and values comprising the entry;
+ keys are printed first and are delineated by curly braces, and are
+ followed by the set of value fields for the entry. By default,
+ numeric fields are displayed as base-10 integers. This can be
+ modified by appending any of the following modifiers to the field
+ name:
+
+ .hex display a number as a hex value
+ .sym display an address as a symbol
+ .sym-offset display an address as a symbol and offset
+ .syscall display a syscall id as a system call name
+ .execname display a common_pid as a program name
+
+ Note that in general the semantics of a given field aren't
+ interpreted when applying a modifier to it, but there are some
+ restrictions to be aware of in this regard:
+
+ - only the 'hex' modifier can be used for values (because values
+ are essentially sums, and the other modifiers don't make sense
+ in that context).
+ - the 'execname' modifier can only be used on a 'common_pid'. The
+ reason for this is that the execname is simply the 'comm' value
+ saved for the 'current' process when an event was triggered,
+ which is the same as the common_pid value saved by the event
+ tracing code. Trying to apply that comm value to other pid
+ values wouldn't be correct, and typically events that care save
+ pid-specific comm fields in the event itself.
+
+ A typical usage scenario would be the following to enable a hist
+ trigger, read its current contents, and then turn it off:
+
+ # echo 'hist:keys=skbaddr.hex:vals=len' > \
+ /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/net/netif_rx/trigger
+
+ # cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/net/netif_rx/hist
+
+ # echo '!hist:keys=skbaddr.hex:vals=len' > \
+ /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/net/netif_rx/trigger
+
+ The trigger file itself can be read to show the details of the
+ currently attached hist trigger. This information is also displayed
+ at the top of the 'hist' file when read.
+
+ By default, the size of the hash table is 2048 entries. The 'size'
+ parameter can be used to specify more or fewer than that. The units
+ are in terms of hashtable entries - if a run uses more entries than
+ specified, the results will show the number of 'drops', the number
+ of hits that were ignored. The size should be a power of 2 between
+ 128 and 131072 (any non- power-of-2 number specified will be rounded
+ up).
+
+ The 'sort' parameter can be used to specify a value field to sort
+ on. The default if unspecified is 'hitcount' and the default sort
+ order is 'ascending'. To sort in the opposite direction, append
+ .descending' to the sort key.
+
+ The 'pause' parameter can be used to pause an existing hist trigger
+ or to start a hist trigger but not log any events until told to do
+ so. 'continue' or 'cont' can be used to start or restart a paused
+ hist trigger.
+
+ The 'clear' parameter will clear the contents of a running hist
+ trigger and leave its current paused/active state.
+
+ Note that the 'pause', 'cont', and 'clear' parameters should be
+ applied using 'append' shell operator ('>>') if applied to an
+ existing trigger, rather than via the '>' operator, which will cause
+ the trigger to be removed through truncation.
+
+- enable_hist/disable_hist
+
+ The enable_hist and disable_hist triggers can be used to have one
+ event conditionally start and stop another event's already-attached
+ hist trigger. Any number of enable_hist and disable_hist triggers
+ can be attached to a given event, allowing that event to kick off
+ and stop aggregations on a host of other events.
+
+ The format is very similar to the enable/disable_event triggers:
+
+ enable_hist:<system>:<event>[:count]
+ disable_hist:<system>:<event>[:count]
+
+ Instead of enabling or disabling the tracing of the target event
+ into the trace buffer as the enable/disable_event triggers do, the
+ enable/disable_hist triggers enable or disable the aggregation of
+ the target event into a hash table.
+
+ A typical usage scenario for the enable_hist/disable_hist triggers
+ would be to first set up a paused hist trigger on some event,
+ followed by an enable_hist/disable_hist pair that turns the hist
+ aggregation on and off when conditions of interest are hit:
+
+ # echo 'hist:keys=skbaddr.hex:vals=len:pause' > \
+ /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/net/netif_receive_skb/trigger
+
+ # echo 'enable_hist:net:netif_receive_skb if filename==/usr/bin/wget' > \
+ /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/sched/sched_process_exec/trigger
+
+ # echo 'disable_hist:net:netif_receive_skb if comm==wget' > \
+ /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/sched/sched_process_exit/trigger
+
+ The above sets up an initially paused hist trigger which is unpaused
+ and starts aggregating events when a given program is executed, and
+ which stops aggregating when the process exits and the hist trigger
+ is paused again.
+
+ The examples below provide a more concrete illustration of the
+ concepts and typical usage patterns discussed above.
+
+
+6.2 'hist' trigger examples
+---------------------------
+
+ The first set of examples creates aggregations using the kmalloc
+ event. The fields that can be used for the hist trigger are listed
+ in the kmalloc event's format file:
+
+ # cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/kmem/kmalloc/format
+ name: kmalloc
+ ID: 374
+ format:
+ field:unsigned short common_type; offset:0; size:2; signed:0;
+ field:unsigned char common_flags; offset:2; size:1; signed:0;
+ field:unsigned char common_preempt_count; offset:3; size:1; signed:0;
+ field:int common_pid; offset:4; size:4; signed:1;
+
+ field:unsigned long call_site; offset:8; size:8; signed:0;
+ field:const void * ptr; offset:16; size:8; signed:0;
+ field:size_t bytes_req; offset:24; size:8; signed:0;
+ field:size_t bytes_alloc; offset:32; size:8; signed:0;
+ field:gfp_t gfp_flags; offset:40; size:4; signed:0;
+
+ We'll start by creating a hist trigger that generates a simple table
+ that lists the total number of bytes requested for each function in
+ the kernel that made one or more calls to kmalloc:
+
+ # echo 'hist:key=call_site:val=bytes_req' > \
+ /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/kmem/kmalloc/trigger
+
+ This tells the tracing system to create a 'hist' trigger using the
+ call_site field of the kmalloc event as the key for the table, which
+ just means that each unique call_site address will have an entry
+ created for it in the table. The 'val=bytes_req' parameter tells
+ the hist trigger that for each unique entry (call_site) in the
+ table, it should keep a running total of the number of bytes
+ requested by that call_site.
+
+ We'll let it run for awhile and then dump the contents of the 'hist'
+ file in the kmalloc event's subdirectory (for readability, a number
+ of entries have been omitted):
+
+ # cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/kmem/kmalloc/hist
+ # trigger info: hist:keys=call_site:vals=bytes_req:sort=hitcount:size=2048 [active]

+
+ The output displays a line for each entry, beginning with the key
+ specified in the trigger, followed by the value(s) also specified in
+ the trigger. At the beginning of the output is a line that displays
+ the trigger info, which can also be displayed by reading the
+ 'trigger' file:
+
+ # cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/kmem/kmalloc/trigger
+ hist:keys=call_site:vals=bytes_req:sort=hitcount:size=2048 [active]
+
+ At the end of the output are a few lines that display the overall
+ totals for the run. The 'Hits' field shows the total number of
+ times the event trigger was hit, the 'Entries' field shows the total
+ number of used entries in the hash table, and the 'Dropped' field
+ shows the number of hits that were dropped because the number of
+ used entries for the run exceeded the maximum number of entries
+ allowed for the table (normally 0, but if not a hint that you may
+ want to increase the size of the table using the 'size' parameter).
+
+ Notice in the above output that there's an extra field, 'hitcount',
+ which wasn't specified in the trigger. Also notice that in the
+ trigger info output, there's a parameter, 'sort=hitcount', which
+ wasn't specified in the trigger either. The reason for that is that
+ every trigger implicitly keeps a count of the total number of hits
+ attributed to a given entry, called the 'hitcount'. That hitcount
+ information is explicitly displayed in the output, and in the
+ absence of a user-specified sort parameter, is used as the default
+ sort field.
+
+ The value 'hitcount' can be used in place of an explicit value in
+ the 'values' parameter if you don't really need to have any
+ particular field summed and are mainly interested in hit
+ frequencies.
+
+ To turn the hist trigger off, simply call up the trigger in the
+ command history and re-execute it with a '!' prepended:
+
+ # echo '!hist:key=call_site:val=bytes_req' > \
+ /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/kmem/kmalloc/trigger
+
+ Finally, notice that the call_site as displayed in the output above
+ isn't really very useful. It's an address, but normally addresses
+ are displayed in hex. To have a numeric field displayed as a hex
+ value, simply append '.hex' to the field name in the trigger:
+
+ # echo 'hist:key=call_site.hex:val=bytes_req' > \
+ /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/kmem/kmalloc/trigger
+
+ # cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/kmem/kmalloc/hist

+ Because the default sort key above is 'hitcount', the above shows a
+ the list of call_sites by increasing hitcount, so that at the bottom

+ Finally, to finish off our kmalloc example, instead of simply having
+ the hist trigger display symbolic call_sites, we can have the hist
+ trigger additionally display the complete set of kernel stack traces
+ that led to each call_site. To do that, we simply use the special
+ value 'stacktrace' for the key parameter:
+
+ # echo 'hist:keys=stacktrace:values=bytes_req,bytes_alloc:sort=bytes_alloc' > \
+ /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/kmem/kmalloc/trigger
+
+ The above trigger will use the kernel stack trace in effect when an
+ event is triggered as the key for the hash table. This allows the
+ enumeration of every kernel callpath that led up to a particular
+ event, along with a running total of any of the event fields for
+ that event. Here we tally bytes requested and bytes allocated for
+ every callpath in the system that led up to a kmalloc (in this case
+ every callpath to a kmalloc for a kernel compile):

+ The syscall counts above provide a rough overall picture of system
+ call activity on the system; we can see for example that the most

+
+ We can use 'compound' keys to refine that number and provide some
+ further insight as to which processes exactly contribute to the
+ overall ioctl count.

+ The previous example showed how to start and stop a hist trigger by
+ appending 'pause' and 'continue' to the hist trigger command. A
+ hist trigger can also be started in a paused state by initially
+ starting the trigger with ':pause' appended. This allows you to
+ start the trigger only when you're ready to start collecting data
+ and not before. For example, you could start the trigger in a
+ paused state, then unpause it and do something you want to measure,
+ then pause the trigger again when done.
+
+ Of course, doing this manually can be difficult and error-prone, but
+ it is possible to automatically start and stop a hist trigger based
+ on some condition, via the enable_hist and disable_hist triggers.
+
+ For example, suppose we wanted to take a look at the relative
+ weights in terms of skb length for each callpath that leads to a
+ netif_receieve_skb event when downloading a decent-sized file using
+ wget.
+
+ First we set up an initially paused stacktrace trigger on the
+ netif_receive_skb event:
+
+ # echo 'hist:key=stacktrace:vals=len:pause' > \
+ /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/net/netif_receive_skb/trigger
+
+ Next, we set up an 'enable_hist' trigger on the sched_process_exec
+ event, with an 'if filename==/usr/bin/wget' filter. The effect of
+ this new trigger is that it will 'unpause' the hist trigger we just
+ set up on netif_receive_skb if and only if it sees a
+ sched_process_exec event with a filename of '/usr/bin/wget'. When
+ that happens, all netif_receive_skb events are aggregated into a
+ hash table keyed on stacktrace:
+
+ # echo 'enable_hist:net:netif_receive_skb if filename==/usr/bin/wget' > \
+ /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/sched/sched_process_exec/trigger
+
+ The aggregation continues until the netif_receive_skb is paused
+ again, which is what the following disable_hist event does by
+ creating a similar setup on the sched_process_exit event, using the
+ filter 'comm==wget':
+
+ # echo 'disable_hist:net:netif_receive_skb if comm==wget' > \
+ /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/sched/sched_process_exit/trigger
+
+ Whenever a process exits and the comm field of the disable_hist
+ trigger filter matches 'comm==wget', the netif_receive_skb hist
+ trigger is disabled.
+
+ The overall effect is that netif_receive_skb events are aggregated
+ into the hash table for only the duration of the wget. Executing a
+ wget command and then listing the 'hist' file will display the
+ output generated by the wget command:
+
+ $ wget https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v3.x/patch-3.19.xz

+ The above shows all the netif_receive_skb callpaths and their total

+
+ The 'clear' hist trigger param can be used to clear the hash table.
+ Suppose we wanted to try another run of the previous example but
+ this time also wanted to see the complete list of events that went
+ into the histogram. In order to avoid having to set everything up
+ again, we can just clear the histogram first:
+
+ # echo 'hist:key=stacktrace:vals=len:clear' >> \
+ /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/net/netif_receive_skb/trigger
+
+ Just to verify that it is in fact cleared, here's what we now see in
+ the hist file:
+
+ # cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/net/netif_receive_skb/hist
+ # trigger info: hist:keys=stacktrace:vals=len:sort=hitcount:size=2048 [paused]
+
+ Totals:
+ Hits: 0
+ Entries: 0
+ Dropped: 0
+
+ Since we want to see the detailed list of every netif_receive_skb
+ event occurring during the new run, which are in fact the same
+ events being aggregated into the hash table, we add some additional
+ 'enable_event' events to the triggering sched_process_exec and
+ sched_process_exit events as such:
+
+ # echo 'enable_event:net:netif_receive_skb if filename==/usr/bin/wget' > \
+ /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/sched/sched_process_exec/trigger
+
+ # echo 'disable_event:net:netif_receive_skb if comm==wget' > \
+ /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/sched/sched_process_exit/trigger
+
+ If you read the trigger files for the sched_process_exec and
+ sched_process_exit triggers, you should see two triggers for each:
+ one enabling/disabling the hist aggregation and the other
+ enabling/disabling the logging of events:
+
+ # cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/sched/sched_process_exec/trigger
+ enable_event:net:netif_receive_skb:unlimited if filename==/usr/bin/wget
+ enable_hist:net:netif_receive_skb:unlimited if filename==/usr/bin/wget
+
+ # cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/sched/sched_process_exit/trigger
+ enable_event:net:netif_receive_skb:unlimited if comm==wget
+ disable_hist:net:netif_receive_skb:unlimited if comm==wget
+
+ In other words, whenever either of the sched_process_exec or
+ sched_process_exit events is hit and matches 'wget', it enables or
+ disables both the histogram and the event log, and what you end up
+ with is a hash table and set of events just covering the specified
+ duration. Run the wget command again:
+
+ $ wget https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v3.x/patch-3.19.xz
+
+ Displaying the 'hist' file should show something similar to what you
+ saw in the last run, but this time you should also see the
+ individual events in the trace file:
+
+ # cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/trace
+

+
+ The following example demonstrates how multiple hist triggers can be
+ attached to a given event. This capability can be useful for
+ creating a set of different summaries derived from the same set of
+ events, or for comparing the effects of different filters, among
+ other things.
+
+ # echo 'hist:keys=skbaddr.hex:vals=len if len < 0' >> \
+ /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/net/netif_receive_skb/trigger
+ # echo 'hist:keys=skbaddr.hex:vals=len if len > 4096' >> \
+ /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/net/netif_receive_skb/trigger
+ # echo 'hist:keys=skbaddr.hex:vals=len if len == 256' >> \
+ /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/net/netif_receive_skb/trigger
+ # echo 'hist:keys=skbaddr.hex:vals=len' >> \
+ /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/net/netif_receive_skb/trigger
+ # echo 'hist:keys=len:vals=common_preempt_count' >> \
+ /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/net/netif_receive_skb/trigger
+
+ The above set of commands create four triggers differing only in
+ their filters, along with a completely different though fairly
+ nonsensical trigger. Note that in order to append multiple hist
+ triggers to the same file, you should use the '>>' operator to
+ append them ('>' will also add the new hist trigger, but will remove
+ any existing hist triggers beforehand).
+
+ Displaying the contents of the 'hist' file for the event shows the
+ contents of all five histograms:
+
+ # cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/net/netif_receive_skb/hist

+ Named triggers can be used to have triggers share a common set of
+ histogram data. This capability is mostly useful for combining the
+ output of events generated by tracepoints contained inside inline
+ functions, but names can be used in a hist trigger on any event.
+ For example, these two triggers when hit will update the same 'len'
+ field in the shared 'foo' histogram data:
+
+ # echo 'hist:name=foo:keys=skbaddr.hex:vals=len' > \
+ /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/net/netif_receive_skb/trigger
+ # echo 'hist:name=foo:keys=skbaddr.hex:vals=len' > \
+ /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/net/netif_rx/trigger
+
+ You can see that they're updating common histogram data by reading
+ each event's hist files at the same time:
+
+ # cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/net/netif_receive_skb/hist;
+ cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/net/netif_rx/hist
+
+ # event histogram
+ #
+ # trigger info: hist:name=foo:keys=skbaddr.hex:vals=hitcount,len:sort=hitcount:size=2048 [active]

+ And here's an example that shows how to combine histogram data from
+ any two events even if they don't share any 'compatible' fields
+ other than 'hitcount' and 'stacktrace'. These commands create a
+ couple of triggers named 'bar' using those fields:
+
+ # echo 'hist:name=bar:key=stacktrace:val=hitcount' > \
+ /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/sched/sched_process_fork/trigger
+ # echo 'hist:name=bar:key=stacktrace:val=hitcount' > \
+ /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/net/netif_rx/trigger
+
+ And displaying the output of either shows some interesting if
+ somewhat confusing output:
+
+ # cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/sched/sched_process_fork/hist
+ # cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/net/netif_rx/hist

+z3fold
+------
+
+z3fold is a special purpose allocator for storing compressed pages.
+It is designed to store up to three compressed pages per physical page.
+It is a zbud derivative which allows for higher compression
+ratio keeping the simplicity and determinism of its predecessor.
+
+The main differences between z3fold and zbud are:
+* unlike zbud, z3fold allows for up to PAGE_SIZE allocations
+* z3fold can hold up to 3 compressed pages in its page
+* z3fold doesn't export any API itself and is thus intended to be used
+ via the zpool API.
+
+To keep the determinism and simplicity, z3fold, just like zbud, always
+stores an integral number of compressed pages per page, but it can store
+up to 3 pages unlike zbud which can store at most 2. Therefore the
+compression ratio goes to around 2.7x while zbud's one is around 1.7x.
+
+Unlike zbud (but like zsmalloc for that matter) z3fold_alloc() does not
+return a dereferenceable pointer. Instead, it returns an unsigned long
+handle which encodes actual location of the allocated object.
+
+Keeping effective compression ratio close to zsmalloc's, z3fold doesn't
+depend on MMU enabled and provides more predictable reclaim behavior
+which makes it a better fit for small and response-critical systems.

The NMI sourcing capability is disabled by default due to the inability to
distinguish between "NMI Watchdog Ticks" and "HW generated NMI events" in the
