+Using RCU hlist_nulls to protect list and objects
+=================================================
+
+This section describes how to use hlist_nulls to
+protect read-mostly linked lists and
+objects using SLAB_TYPESAFE_BY_RCU allocations.
+
+Please read the basics in Documentation/RCU/listRCU.rst
+
+Using 'nulls'
+=============
+
+Using special makers (called 'nulls') is a convenient way
+to solve following problem :
+
+A typical RCU linked list managing objects which are
+allocated with SLAB_TYPESAFE_BY_RCU kmem_cache can
+use following algos :
+
+1) Lookup algo
+--------------
+
+::
+
+ rcu_read_lock()
+ begin:
+ obj = lockless_lookup(key);
+ if (obj) {
+ if (!try_get_ref(obj)) // might fail for free objects
+ goto begin;
+ /*
+ * Because a writer could delete object, and a writer could
+ * reuse these object before the RCU grace period, we
+ * must check key after getting the reference on object
+ */
+ if (obj->key != key) { // not the object we expected
+ put_ref(obj);
+ goto begin;
+ }
+ }
+ rcu_read_unlock();
+
+Beware that lockless_lookup(key) cannot use traditional hlist_for_each_entry_rcu()
+but a version with an additional memory barrier (smp_rmb())
+
+::
+
+ lockless_lookup(key)
+ {
+ struct hlist_node *node, *next;
+ for (pos = rcu_dereference((head)->first);
+ pos && ({ next = pos->next; smp_rmb(); prefetch(next); 1; }) &&
+ ({ tpos = hlist_entry(pos, typeof(*tpos), member); 1; });
+ pos = rcu_dereference(next))
+ if (obj->key == key)
+ return obj;
+ return NULL;
+ }
+
+And note the traditional hlist_for_each_entry_rcu() misses this smp_rmb()::
+
+ struct hlist_node *node;
+ for (pos = rcu_dereference((head)->first);
+ pos && ({ prefetch(pos->next); 1; }) &&
+ ({ tpos = hlist_entry(pos, typeof(*tpos), member); 1; });
+ pos = rcu_dereference(pos->next))
+ if (obj->key == key)
+ return obj;
+ return NULL;
+
+Quoting Corey Minyard::
+
+ "If the object is moved from one list to another list in-between the
+ time the hash is calculated and the next field is accessed, and the
+ object has moved to the end of a new list, the traversal will not
+ complete properly on the list it should have, since the object will
+ be on the end of the new list and there's not a way to tell it's on a
+ new list and restart the list traversal. I think that this can be
+ solved by pre-fetching the "next" field (with proper barriers) before
+ checking the key."
+
+2) Insert algo
+--------------
+
+We need to make sure a reader cannot read the new 'obj->obj_next' value
+and previous value of 'obj->key'. Or else, an item could be deleted
+from a chain, and inserted into another chain. If new chain was empty
+before the move, 'next' pointer is NULL, and lockless reader can
+not detect it missed following items in original chain.
+
+::
+
+ /*
+ * Please note that new inserts are done at the head of list,
+ * not in the middle or end.
+ */
+ obj = kmem_cache_alloc(...);
+ lock_chain(); // typically a spin_lock()
+ obj->key = key;
+ /*
+ * we need to make sure obj->key is updated before obj->next
+ * or obj->refcnt
+ */
+ smp_wmb();
+ atomic_set(&obj->refcnt, 1);
+ hlist_add_head_rcu(&obj->obj_node, list);
+ unlock_chain(); // typically a spin_unlock()
+
+
+3) Remove algo
+--------------
+Nothing special here, we can use a standard RCU hlist deletion.
+But thanks to SLAB_TYPESAFE_BY_RCU, beware a deleted object can be reused
+very very fast (before the end of RCU grace period)
+
+::
+
+ if (put_last_reference_on(obj) {
+ lock_chain(); // typically a spin_lock()
+ hlist_del_init_rcu(&obj->obj_node);
+ unlock_chain(); // typically a spin_unlock()
+ kmem_cache_free(cachep, obj);
+ }
+
+
+
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+Avoiding extra smp_rmb()
+========================
+
+With hlist_nulls we can avoid extra smp_rmb() in lockless_lookup()
+and extra smp_wmb() in insert function.
+
+For example, if we choose to store the slot number as the 'nulls'
+end-of-list marker for each slot of the hash table, we can detect
+a race (some writer did a delete and/or a move of an object
+to another chain) checking the final 'nulls' value if
+the lookup met the end of chain. If final 'nulls' value
+is not the slot number, then we must restart the lookup at
+the beginning. If the object was moved to the same chain,
+then the reader doesn't care : It might eventually
+scan the list again without harm.
+
+
+1) lookup algo
+--------------
+
+::
+
+ head = &table[slot];
+ rcu_read_lock();
+ begin:
+ hlist_nulls_for_each_entry_rcu(obj, node, head, member) {
+ if (obj->key == key) {
+ if (!try_get_ref(obj)) // might fail for free objects
+ goto begin;
+ if (obj->key != key) { // not the object we expected
+ put_ref(obj);
+ goto begin;
+ }
+ goto out;
+ }
+ /*
+ * if the nulls value we got at the end of this lookup is
+ * not the expected one, we must restart lookup.
+ * We probably met an item that was moved to another chain.
+ */
+ if (get_nulls_value(node) != slot)
+ goto begin;
+ obj = NULL;
+
+ out:
+ rcu_read_unlock();
+
+2) Insert function
+------------------
+
+::
+
+ /*
+ * Please note that new inserts are done at the head of list,
+ * not in the middle or end.

The key point is that the initial reference added by add() is not removed
until after a grace period has elapsed following removal. This means that
search_and_reference() cannot find this element, which means that the value
of el->rc cannot increase. Thus, once it reaches zero, there are no
-readers that can or ever will be able to reference the element. The

+Multi-Queue Block IO Queueing Mechanism (blk-mq)
+================================================
+
+The Multi-Queue Block IO Queueing Mechanism is an API to enable fast storage
+devices to achieve a huge number of input/output operations per second (IOPS)
+through queueing and submitting IO requests to block devices simultaneously,
+benefiting from the parallelism offered by modern storage devices.
+
+Introduction
+============
+
+Background
+----------
+
+Magnetic hard disks have been the de facto standard from the beginning of the
+development of the kernel. The Block IO subsystem aimed to achieve the best
+performance possible for those devices with a high penalty when doing random
+access, and the bottleneck was the mechanical moving parts, a lot slower than
+any layer on the storage stack. One example of such optimization technique
+involves ordering read/write requests according to the current position of the
+hard disk head.
+
+However, with the development of Solid State Drives and Non-Volatile Memories
+without mechanical parts nor random access penalty and capable of performing
+high parallel access, the bottleneck of the stack had moved from the storage
+device to the operating system. In order to take advantage of the parallelism
+in those devices' design, the multi-queue mechanism was introduced.
+
+The former design had a single queue to store block IO requests with a single
+lock. That did not scale well in SMP systems due to dirty data in cache and the
+bottleneck of having a single lock for multiple processors. This setup also
+suffered with congestion when different processes (or the same process, moving
+to different CPUs) wanted to perform block IO. Instead of this, the blk-mq API
+spawns multiple queues with individual entry points local to the CPU, removing
+the need for a lock. A deeper explanation on how this works is covered in the
+following section (`Operation`_).
+
+Operation
+---------
+
+When the userspace performs IO to a block device (reading or writing a file,
+for instance), blk-mq takes action: it will store and manage IO requests to
+the block device, acting as middleware between the userspace (and a file
+system, if present) and the block device driver.
+
+blk-mq has two group of queues: software staging queues and hardware dispatch
+queues. When the request arrives at the block layer, it will try the shortest
+path possible: send it directly to the hardware queue. However, there are two
+cases that it might not do that: if there's an IO scheduler attached at the
+layer or if we want to try to merge requests. In both cases, requests will be
+sent to the software queue.
+
+Then, after the requests are processed by software queues, they will be placed
+at the hardware queue, a second stage queue were the hardware has direct access
+to process those requests. However, if the hardware does not have enough
+resources to accept more requests, blk-mq will places requests on a temporary
+queue, to be sent in the future, when the hardware is able.
+
+Software staging queues
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+The block IO subsystem adds requests in the software staging queues
+(represented by struct :c:type:`blk_mq_ctx`) in case that they weren't sent
+directly to the driver. A request is one or more BIOs. They arrived at the
+block layer through the data structure struct :c:type:`bio`. The block layer
+will then build a new structure from it, the struct :c:type:`request` that will
+be used to communicate with the device driver. Each queue has its own lock and
+the number of queues is defined by a per-CPU or per-node basis.
+
+The staging queue can be used to merge requests for adjacent sectors. For
+instance, requests for sector 3-6, 6-7, 7-9 can become one request for 3-9.
+Even if random access to SSDs and NVMs have the same time of response compared
+to sequential access, grouped requests for sequential access decreases the
+number of individual requests. This technique of merging requests is called
+plugging.
+
+Along with that, the requests can be reordered to ensure fairness of system
+resources (e.g. to ensure that no application suffers from starvation) and/or to
+improve IO performance, by an IO scheduler.
+
+IO Schedulers
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+There are several schedulers implemented by the block layer, each one following
+a heuristic to improve the IO performance. They are "pluggable" (as in plug
+and play), in the sense of they can be selected at run time using sysfs. You
+can read more about Linux's IO schedulers `here
+<https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/block/index.html>`_. The scheduling
+happens only between requests in the same queue, so it is not possible to merge
+requests from different queues, otherwise there would be cache trashing and a
+need to have a lock for each queue. After the scheduling, the requests are
+eligible to be sent to the hardware. One of the possible schedulers to be
+selected is the NONE scheduler, the most straightforward one. It will just
+place requests on whatever software queue the process is running on, without
+any reordering. When the device starts processing requests in the hardware
+queue (a.k.a. run the hardware queue), the software queues mapped to that
+hardware queue will be drained in sequence according to their mapping.
+
+Hardware dispatch queues
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+The hardware queue (represented by struct :c:type:`blk_mq_hw_ctx`) is a struct
+used by device drivers to map the device submission queues (or device DMA ring
+buffer), and are the last step of the block layer submission code before the
+low level device driver taking ownership of the request. To run this queue, the
+block layer removes requests from the associated software queues and tries to
+dispatch to the hardware.
+
+If it's not possible to send the requests directly to hardware, they will be
+added to a linked list (:c:type:`hctx->dispatch`) of requests. Then,
+next time the block layer runs a queue, it will send the requests laying at the
+:c:type:`dispatch` list first, to ensure a fairness dispatch with those
+requests that were ready to be sent first. The number of hardware queues
+depends on the number of hardware contexts supported by the hardware and its
+device driver, but it will not be more than the number of cores of the system.
+There is no reordering at this stage, and each software queue has a set of
+hardware queues to send requests for.
+
+.. note::
+
+ Neither the block layer nor the device protocols guarantee
+ the order of completion of requests. This must be handled by
+ higher layers, like the filesystem.
+
+Tag-based completion
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+In order to indicate which request has been completed, every request is
+identified by an integer, ranging from 0 to the dispatch queue size. This tag
+is generated by the block layer and later reused by the device driver, removing
+the need to create a redundant identifier. When a request is completed in the
+drive, the tag is sent back to the block layer to notify it of the finalization.
+This removes the need to do a linear search to find out which IO has been
+completed.

+GFP flags and reclaim behavior
+------------------------------
+Memory allocations may trigger direct or background reclaim and it is
+useful to understand how hard the page allocator will try to satisfy that
+or another request.
+
+ * ``GFP_KERNEL & ~__GFP_RECLAIM`` - optimistic allocation without _any_
+ attempt to free memory at all. The most light weight mode which even
+ doesn't kick the background reclaim. Should be used carefully because it
+ might deplete the memory and the next user might hit the more aggressive
+ reclaim.
+
+ * ``GFP_KERNEL & ~__GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM`` (or ``GFP_NOWAIT``)- optimistic
+ allocation without any attempt to free memory from the current
+ context but can wake kswapd to reclaim memory if the zone is below
+ the low watermark. Can be used from either atomic contexts or when
+ the request is a performance optimization and there is another
+ fallback for a slow path.
+
+ * ``(GFP_KERNEL|__GFP_HIGH) & ~__GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM`` (aka ``GFP_ATOMIC``) -
+ non sleeping allocation with an expensive fallback so it can access
+ some portion of memory reserves. Usually used from interrupt/bottom-half
+ context with an expensive slow path fallback.
+
+ * ``GFP_KERNEL`` - both background and direct reclaim are allowed and the
+ **default** page allocator behavior is used. That means that not costly
+ allocation requests are basically no-fail but there is no guarantee of
+ that behavior so failures have to be checked properly by callers
+ (e.g. OOM killer victim is allowed to fail currently).
+
+ * ``GFP_KERNEL | __GFP_NORETRY`` - overrides the default allocator behavior
+ and all allocation requests fail early rather than cause disruptive
+ reclaim (one round of reclaim in this implementation). The OOM killer
+ is not invoked.
+
+ * ``GFP_KERNEL | __GFP_RETRY_MAYFAIL`` - overrides the default allocator
+ behavior and all allocation requests try really hard. The request
+ will fail if the reclaim cannot make any progress. The OOM killer
+ won't be triggered.
+
+ * ``GFP_KERNEL | __GFP_NOFAIL`` - overrides the default allocator behavior

4.2 "My application needs exclusive control of hardware channels"

Primarily this requirement arises from cases where a DMA engine driver
is being used to support device-to-memory operations. A channel that is
performing these operations cannot, for many platform specific reasons,
be shared. For these cases the dma_request_channel() interface is
provided.
-The interface is:
-struct dma_chan *dma_request_channel(dma_cap_mask_t mask,
- dma_filter_fn filter_fn,

+ MStar/SigmaStar's Armv7 SoCs have a pipeline in the interface
+ between the CPU and memory. This means that before DMA capable
+ devices are allowed to run the pipeline must be flushed to ensure
+ everything is in memory.
+
+ The l3bridge region contains registers that allow such a flush
+ to be triggered.
+
+ This node is used by the platform code to find where the registers
+ are and install a barrier that triggers the required pipeline flush.

+ System controller node represents a register region containing a set
+ of miscellaneous registers. The registers are not cohesive enough to
+ represent as any specific type of device. The typical use-case is
+ for some other node's driver, or platform-specific code, to acquire
+ a reference to the syscon node (e.g. by phandle, node path, or
+ search using a specific compatible value), interrogate the node (or
+ associated OS driver) to determine the location of the registers,
+ and access the registers directly.

-* Texas Instruments K3 NavigatorSS Ring Accelerator
-
-The Ring Accelerator (RA) is a machine which converts read/write accesses

-controller which needs to access ring elements from having to know the current
-state of the ring (base address, current offset). The DMA controller
-performs a read or write access to a specific address range (which maps to the
-source interface on the RA) and the RA replaces the address for the transaction
-with a new address which corresponds to the head or tail element of the ring
-(head for reads, tail for writes).

-The Ring Accelerator is a hardware module that is responsible for accelerating
-management of the packet queues. The K3 SoCs can have more than one RA instances

-* Freescale Low Power SPI (LPSPI) for i.MX
-
-Required properties:
-- compatible :
- - "fsl,imx7ulp-spi" for LPSPI compatible with the one integrated on i.MX7ULP soc
- - "fsl,imx8qxp-spi" for LPSPI compatible with the one integrated on i.MX8QXP soc
-- reg : address and length of the lpspi master registers
-- interrupt-parent : core interrupt controller
-- interrupts : lpspi interrupt
-- clocks : lpspi clock specifier. Its number and order need to correspond to the
- value in clock-names.
-- clock-names : Corresponding to per clock and ipg clock in "clocks"
- respectively. In i.MX7ULP, it only has per clk, so use CLK_DUMMY
- to fill the "ipg" blank.
-- spi-slave : spi slave mode support. In slave mode, add this attribute without
- value. In master mode, remove it.
-
-Examples:
-
-lpspi2: lpspi@40290000 {
- compatible = "fsl,imx7ulp-spi";
- reg = <0x40290000 0x10000>;

+Chapter 5: Filesystem behavior
+==============================
Originally, before the advent of pid namepsace, procfs was a global file
system. It means that there was only one procfs instance in the system.
When pid namespace was added, a separate procfs instance was mounted in
each pid namespace. So, procfs mount options are global among all

and only after remounting procfs mount options will change at all
-mountpoints.
+mountpoints::
-# mount -o remount,hidepid=1 -t proc proc /tmp/proc

+ proc /tmp/proc proc rw,relatime,hidepid=1 0 0
This behavior is different from the behavior of other filesystems.
The new procfs behavior is more like other filesystems. Each procfs mount
creates a new procfs instance. Mount options affect own procfs instance.
It means that it became possible to have several procfs instances

+======================================
+Sequence counters and sequential locks
+======================================
+
+Introduction
+============
+
+Sequence counters are a reader-writer consistency mechanism with
+lockless readers (read-only retry loops), and no writer starvation. They
+are used for data that's rarely written to (e.g. system time), where the
+reader wants a consistent set of information and is willing to retry if
+that information changes.
+
+A data set is consistent when the sequence count at the beginning of the
+read side critical section is even and the same sequence count value is
+read again at the end of the critical section. The data in the set must
+be copied out inside the read side critical section. If the sequence
+count has changed between the start and the end of the critical section,
+the reader must retry.
+
+Writers increment the sequence count at the start and the end of their
+critical section. After starting the critical section the sequence count
+is odd and indicates to the readers that an update is in progress. At
+the end of the write side critical section the sequence count becomes
+even again which lets readers make progress.
+
+A sequence counter write side critical section must never be preempted
+or interrupted by read side sections. Otherwise the reader will spin for
+the entire scheduler tick due to the odd sequence count value and the
+interrupted writer. If that reader belongs to a real-time scheduling
+class, it can spin forever and the kernel will livelock.
+
+This mechanism cannot be used if the protected data contains pointers,
+as the writer can invalidate a pointer that the reader is following.
+
+
+.. _seqcount_t:
+
+Sequence counters (``seqcount_t``)
+==================================
+
+This is the the raw counting mechanism, which does not protect against
+multiple writers. Write side critical sections must thus be serialized
+by an external lock.
+
+If the write serialization primitive is not implicitly disabling
+preemption, preemption must be explicitly disabled before entering the
+write side section. If the read section can be invoked from hardirq or
+softirq contexts, interrupts or bottom halves must also be respectively
+disabled before entering the write section.
+
+If it's desired to automatically handle the sequence counter
+requirements of writer serialization and non-preemptibility, use
+:ref:`seqlock_t` instead.
+
+Initialization::
+
+ /* dynamic */
+ seqcount_t foo_seqcount;
+ seqcount_init(&foo_seqcount);
+
+ /* static */
+ static seqcount_t foo_seqcount = SEQCNT_ZERO(foo_seqcount);
+
+ /* C99 struct init */
+ struct {
+ .seq = SEQCNT_ZERO(foo.seq),
+ } foo;
+
+Write path::
+
+ /* Serialized context with disabled preemption */
+
+ write_seqcount_begin(&foo_seqcount);
+

+Sequential locks (``seqlock_t``)
+================================
+
+This contains the :ref:`seqcount_t` mechanism earlier discussed, plus an
+embedded spinlock for writer serialization and non-preemptibility.
+
+If the read side section can be invoked from hardirq or softirq context,
+use the write side function variants which disable interrupts or bottom
+halves respectively.
+
+Initialization::
+
+ /* dynamic */
+ seqlock_t foo_seqlock;
+ seqlock_init(&foo_seqlock);
+
+ /* static */
+ static DEFINE_SEQLOCK(foo_seqlock);
+
+ /* C99 struct init */
+ struct {
+ .seql = __SEQLOCK_UNLOCKED(foo.seql)
+ } foo;
+
+Write path::
+
+ write_seqlock(&foo_seqlock);
+
+ /* ... [[write-side critical section]] ... */
+
+ write_sequnlock(&foo_seqlock);
+
+Read path, three categories:
+
+1. Normal Sequence readers which never block a writer but they must
+ retry if a writer is in progress by detecting change in the sequence
+ number. Writers do not wait for a sequence reader::
+
+ do {
+ seq = read_seqbegin(&foo_seqlock);
+
+ /* ... [[read-side critical section]] ... */
+
+ } while (read_seqretry(&foo_seqlock, seq));
+
+2. Locking readers which will wait if a writer or another locking reader
+ is in progress. A locking reader in progress will also block a writer
+ from entering its critical section. This read lock is
+ exclusive. Unlike rwlock_t, only one locking reader can acquire it::
+
+ read_seqlock_excl(&foo_seqlock);
+
+ /* ... [[read-side critical section]] ... */
+
+ read_sequnlock_excl(&foo_seqlock);
+
+3. Conditional lockless reader (as in 1), or locking reader (as in 2),
+ according to a passed marker. This is used to avoid lockless readers
+ starvation (too much retry loops) in case of a sharp spike in write
+ activity. First, a lockless read is tried (even marker passed). If
+ that trial fails (odd sequence counter is returned, which is used as
+ the next iteration marker), the lockless read is transformed to a
+ full locking read and no retry loop is necessary::
+
+ /* marker; even initialization */
+ int seq = 0;
+ do {
+ read_seqbegin_or_lock(&foo_seqlock, &seq);
+
+ /* ... [[read-side critical section]] ... */
+
+ } while (need_seqretry(&foo_seqlock, seq));

-CACHE COHERENCY
----------------

-Life isn't quite as simple as it may appear above, however: for while the
-caches are expected to be coherent, there's no guarantee that that coherency
-will be ordered. This means that while changes made on one CPU will
-eventually become visible on all CPUs, there's no guarantee that they will
-become apparent in the same order on those other CPUs.
-
-
-Consider dealing with a system that has a pair of CPUs (1 & 2), each of which
-has a pair of parallel data caches (CPU 1 has A/B, and CPU 2 has C/D):
-
- :
- : +--------+
- : +---------+ | |
- +--------+ : +--->| Cache A |<------->| |
- | | : | +---------+ | |
- | CPU 1 |<---+ | |

- | | : | +---------+ | |
- +--------+ : +--->| Cache D |<------->| |
- : +---------+ | |
- : +--------+
- :
-
-Imagine the system has the following properties:
-
- (*) an odd-numbered cache line may be in cache A, cache C or it may still be
- resident in memory;
-
- (*) an even-numbered cache line may be in cache B, cache D or it may still be
- resident in memory;
-
- (*) while the CPU core is interrogating one cache, the other cache may be
- making use of the bus to access the rest of the system - perhaps to
- displace a dirty cacheline or to do a speculative load;
-
- (*) each cache has a queue of operations that need to be applied to that cache
- to maintain coherency with the rest of the system;
-
- (*) the coherency queue is not flushed by normal loads to lines already
- present in the cache, even though the contents of the queue may
- potentially affect those loads.
-
-Imagine, then, that two writes are made on the first CPU, with a write barrier
-between them to guarantee that they will appear to reach that CPU's caches in
-the requisite order:
-
- CPU 1 CPU 2 COMMENT
- =============== =============== =======================================
- u == 0, v == 1 and p == &u, q == &u
- v = 2;
- smp_wmb(); Make sure change to v is visible before
- change to p
- <A:modify v=2> v is now in cache A exclusively
- p = &v;
- <B:modify p=&v> p is now in cache B exclusively
-
-The write memory barrier forces the other CPUs in the system to perceive that
-the local CPU's caches have apparently been updated in the correct order. But
-now imagine that the second CPU wants to read those values:
-
- CPU 1 CPU 2 COMMENT
- =============== =============== =======================================
- ...
- q = p;
- x = *q;
-
-The above pair of reads may then fail to happen in the expected order, as the
-cacheline holding p may get updated in one of the second CPU's caches while
-the update to the cacheline holding v is delayed in the other of the second
-CPU's caches by some other cache event:
-
- CPU 1 CPU 2 COMMENT
- =============== =============== =======================================
- u == 0, v == 1 and p == &u, q == &u
- v = 2;
- smp_wmb();
- <A:modify v=2> <C:busy>
- <C:queue v=2>
- p = &v; q = p;
- <D:request p>
- <B:modify p=&v> <D:commit p=&v>
- <D:read p>
- x = *q;
- <C:read *q> Reads from v before v updated in cache
- <C:unbusy>
- <C:commit v=2>
-
-Basically, while both cachelines will be updated on CPU 2 eventually, there's
-no guarantee that, without intervention, the order of update will be the same
-as that committed on CPU 1.
-
-
-To intervene, we need to interpolate a data dependency barrier or a read
-barrier between the loads (which as of v4.15 is supplied unconditionally
-by the READ_ONCE() macro). This will force the cache to commit its
-coherency queue before processing any further requests:
-
- CPU 1 CPU 2 COMMENT
- =============== =============== =======================================
- u == 0, v == 1 and p == &u, q == &u

- <C:queue v=2>
- p = &v; q = p;
- <D:request p>
- <B:modify p=&v> <D:commit p=&v>
- <D:read p>
- smp_read_barrier_depends()
- <C:unbusy>
- <C:commit v=2>
- x = *q;
- <C:read *q> Reads from v after v updated in cache
-
-
-This sort of problem can be encountered on DEC Alpha processors as they have a
-split cache that improves performance by making better use of the data bus.
-While most CPUs do imply a data dependency barrier on the read when a memory
-access depends on a read, not all do, so it may not be relied on.
-
-Other CPUs may also have split caches, but must coordinate between the various
-cachelets for normal memory accesses. The semantics of the Alpha removes the
-need for hardware coordination in the absence of memory barriers, which
-permitted Alpha to sport higher CPU clock rates back in the day. However,
-please note that (again, as of v4.15) smp_read_barrier_depends() should not

+program BAR0 size as 1MB::
+
+ # echo 100000 >> bar0_size
+
+check for programmed bar0 size::

+ # cat bar0_size
+
+Program BAR0 Address as DDR (0x2100000). This is the physical address of

+Zero-length and one-element arrays
+----------------------------------
+There is a regular need in the kernel to provide a way to declare having
+a dynamically sized set of trailing elements in a structure. Kernel code
+should always use `"flexible array members" <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flexible_array_member>`_
+for these cases. The older style of one-element or zero-length arrays should
+no longer be used.
+
+In older C code, dynamically sized trailing elements were done by specifying
+a one-element array at the end of a structure::
+
+ struct something {
+ size_t count;
+ struct foo items[1];
+ };
+
+This led to fragile size calculations via sizeof() (which would need to
+remove the size of the single trailing element to get a correct size of
+the "header"). A `GNU C extension <https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/Zero-Length.html>`_
+was introduced to allow for zero-length arrays, to avoid these kinds of
+size problems::
+
+ struct something {
+ size_t count;
+ struct foo items[0];
+ };
+
+But this led to other problems, and didn't solve some problems shared by
+both styles, like not being able to detect when such an array is accidentally
+being used _not_ at the end of a structure (which could happen directly, or
+when such a struct was in unions, structs of structs, etc).
+
+C99 introduced "flexible array members", which lacks a numeric size for
+the array declaration entirely::
+
+ struct something {
+ size_t count;
+ struct foo items[];
+ };
+
+This is the way the kernel expects dynamically sized trailing elements
+to be declared. It allows the compiler to generate errors when the
+flexible array does not occur last in the structure, which helps to prevent
+some kind of `undefined behavior
+<https://git.kernel.org/linus/76497732932f15e7323dc805e8ea8dc11bb587cf>`_
+bugs from being inadvertently introduced to the codebase. It also allows
+the compiler to correctly analyze array sizes (via sizeof(),
+`CONFIG_FORTIFY_SOURCE`, and `CONFIG_UBSAN_BOUNDS`). For instance,
+there is no mechanism that warns us that the following application of the
+sizeof() operator to a zero-length array always results in zero::
+
+ struct something {
+ size_t count;
+ struct foo items[0];
+ };
+
+ struct something *instance;
+
+ instance = kmalloc(struct_size(instance, items, count), GFP_KERNEL);
+ instance->count = count;
+
+ size = sizeof(instance->items) * instance->count;
+ memcpy(instance->items, source, size);
+
+At the last line of code above, ``size`` turns out to be ``zero``, when one might
+have thought it represents the total size in bytes of the dynamic memory recently
+allocated for the trailing array ``items``. Here are a couple examples of this
+issue: `link 1
+<https://git.kernel.org/linus/f2cd32a443da694ac4e28fbf4ac6f9d5cc63a539>`_,
+`link 2
+<https://git.kernel.org/linus/ab91c2a89f86be2898cee208d492816ec238b2cf>`_.
+Instead, `flexible array members have incomplete type, and so the sizeof()
+operator may not be applied <https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/Zero-Length.html>`_,
+so any misuse of such operators will be immediately noticed at build time.
+
+With respect to one-element arrays, one has to be acutely aware that `such arrays
+occupy at least as much space as a single object of the type
+<https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/Zero-Length.html>`_,
+hence they contribute to the size of the enclosing structure. This is prone
+to error every time people want to calculate the total size of dynamic memory
+to allocate for a structure containing an array of this kind as a member::
+
+ struct something {
+ size_t count;
+ struct foo items[1];
+ };
+
+ struct something *instance;
+
+ instance = kmalloc(struct_size(instance, items, count - 1), GFP_KERNEL);
+ instance->count = count;
+
+ size = sizeof(instance->items) * instance->count;
+ memcpy(instance->items, source, size);
+
+In the example above, we had to remember to calculate ``count - 1`` when using
+the struct_size() helper, otherwise we would have --unintentionally-- allocated
+memory for one too many ``items`` objects. The cleanest and least error-prone way
+to implement this is through the use of a `flexible array member`::
+
+ struct something {
+ size_t count;
+ struct foo items[];
+ };
+
+ struct something *instance;
+
+ instance = kmalloc(struct_size(instance, items, count), GFP_KERNEL);
+ instance->count = count;
+
+ size = sizeof(instance->items[0]) * instance->count;
+ memcpy(instance->items, source, size);

+=========================
+Capacity Aware Scheduling
+=========================
+
+1. CPU Capacity
+===============
+
+1.1 Introduction
+----------------
+
+Conventional, homogeneous SMP platforms are composed of purely identical
+CPUs. Heterogeneous platforms on the other hand are composed of CPUs with
+different performance characteristics - on such platforms, not all CPUs can be
+considered equal.
+
+CPU capacity is a measure of the performance a CPU can reach, normalized against
+the most performant CPU in the system. Heterogeneous systems are also called
+asymmetric CPU capacity systems, as they contain CPUs of different capacities.
+
+Disparity in maximum attainable performance (IOW in maximum CPU capacity) stems
+from two factors:
+
+- not all CPUs may have the same microarchitecture (µarch).
+- with Dynamic Voltage and Frequency Scaling (DVFS), not all CPUs may be
+ physically able to attain the higher Operating Performance Points (OPP).
+
+Arm big.LITTLE systems are an example of both. The big CPUs are more
+performance-oriented than the LITTLE ones (more pipeline stages, bigger caches,
+smarter predictors, etc), and can usually reach higher OPPs than the LITTLE ones
+can.
+
+CPU performance is usually expressed in Millions of Instructions Per Second
+(MIPS), which can also be expressed as a given amount of instructions attainable
+per Hz, leading to::
+
+ capacity(cpu) = work_per_hz(cpu) * max_freq(cpu)
+
+1.2 Scheduler terms
+-------------------
+
+Two different capacity values are used within the scheduler. A CPU's
+``capacity_orig`` is its maximum attainable capacity, i.e. its maximum
+attainable performance level. A CPU's ``capacity`` is its ``capacity_orig`` to
+which some loss of available performance (e.g. time spent handling IRQs) is
+subtracted.
+
+Note that a CPU's ``capacity`` is solely intended to be used by the CFS class,
+while ``capacity_orig`` is class-agnostic. The rest of this document will use
+the term ``capacity`` interchangeably with ``capacity_orig`` for the sake of
+brevity.
+
+1.3 Platform examples
+---------------------
+
+1.3.1 Identical OPPs
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Consider an hypothetical dual-core asymmetric CPU capacity system where
+
+- work_per_hz(CPU0) = W
+- work_per_hz(CPU1) = W/2
+- all CPUs are running at the same fixed frequency
+
+By the above definition of capacity:
+
+- capacity(CPU0) = C
+- capacity(CPU1) = C/2
+
+To draw the parallel with Arm big.LITTLE, CPU0 would be a big while CPU1 would
+be a LITTLE.
+
+With a workload that periodically does a fixed amount of work, you will get an
+execution trace like so::
+
+ CPU0 work ^
+ | ____ ____ ____
+ | | | | | | |
+ +----+----+----+----+----+----+----+----+----+----+-> time
+
+ CPU1 work ^
+ | _________ _________ ____
+ | | | | | |
+ +----+----+----+----+----+----+----+----+----+----+-> time
+
+CPU0 has the highest capacity in the system (C), and completes a fixed amount of
+work W in T units of time. On the other hand, CPU1 has half the capacity of
+CPU0, and thus only completes W/2 in T.
+
+1.3.2 Different max OPPs
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Usually, CPUs of different capacity values also have different maximum
+OPPs. Consider the same CPUs as above (i.e. same work_per_hz()) with:
+
+- max_freq(CPU0) = F
+- max_freq(CPU1) = 2/3 * F
+
+This yields:
+
+- capacity(CPU0) = C
+- capacity(CPU1) = C/3
+
+Executing the same workload as described in 1.3.1, which each CPU running at its
+maximum frequency results in::
+
+ CPU0 work ^
+ | ____ ____ ____
+ | | | | | | |
+ +----+----+----+----+----+----+----+----+----+----+-> time
+
+ workload on CPU1
+ CPU1 work ^
+ | ______________ ______________ ____
+ | | | | | |
+ +----+----+----+----+----+----+----+----+----+----+-> time
+
+1.4 Representation caveat
+-------------------------
+
+It should be noted that having a *single* value to represent differences in CPU
+performance is somewhat of a contentious point. The relative performance
+difference between two different µarchs could be X% on integer operations, Y% on
+floating point operations, Z% on branches, and so on. Still, results using this
+simple approach have been satisfactory for now.
+
+2. Task utilization
+===================
+
+2.1 Introduction
+----------------
+
+Capacity aware scheduling requires an expression of a task's requirements with
+regards to CPU capacity. Each scheduler class can express this differently, and
+while task utilization is specific to CFS, it is convenient to describe it here
+in order to introduce more generic concepts.
+
+Task utilization is a percentage meant to represent the throughput requirements
+of a task. A simple approximation of it is the task's duty cycle, i.e.::
+
+ task_util(p) = duty_cycle(p)
+
+On an SMP system with fixed frequencies, 100% utilization suggests the task is a
+busy loop. Conversely, 10% utilization hints it is a small periodic task that
+spends more time sleeping than executing. Variable CPU frequencies and
+asymmetric CPU capacities complexify this somewhat; the following sections will
+expand on these.
+
+2.2 Frequency invariance
+------------------------
+
+One issue that needs to be taken into account is that a workload's duty cycle is
+directly impacted by the current OPP the CPU is running at. Consider running a
+periodic workload at a given frequency F::
+
+ CPU work ^
+ | ____ ____ ____
+ | | | | | | |
+ +----+----+----+----+----+----+----+----+----+----+-> time
+
+This yields duty_cycle(p) == 25%.
+
+Now, consider running the *same* workload at frequency F/2::
+
+ CPU work ^
+ | _________ _________ ____
+ | | | | | |
+ +----+----+----+----+----+----+----+----+----+----+-> time
+
+This yields duty_cycle(p) == 50%, despite the task having the exact same
+behaviour (i.e. executing the same amount of work) in both executions.
+
+The task utilization signal can be made frequency invariant using the following
+formula::
+
+ task_util_freq_inv(p) = duty_cycle(p) * (curr_frequency(cpu) / max_frequency(cpu))
+
+Applying this formula to the two examples above yields a frequency invariant
+task utilization of 25%.
+
+2.3 CPU invariance
+------------------
+
+CPU capacity has a similar effect on task utilization in that running an
+identical workload on CPUs of different capacity values will yield different
+duty cycles.
+
+Consider the system described in 1.3.2., i.e.::
+
+- capacity(CPU0) = C
+- capacity(CPU1) = C/3
+
+Executing a given periodic workload on each CPU at their maximum frequency would
+result in::
+
+ CPU0 work ^
+ | ____ ____ ____
+ | | | | | | |
+ +----+----+----+----+----+----+----+----+----+----+-> time
+
+ CPU1 work ^
+ | ______________ ______________ ____
+ | | | | | |
+ +----+----+----+----+----+----+----+----+----+----+-> time
+
+IOW,
+
+- duty_cycle(p) == 25% if p runs on CPU0 at its maximum frequency
+- duty_cycle(p) == 75% if p runs on CPU1 at its maximum frequency
+
+The task utilization signal can be made CPU invariant using the following
+formula::
+
+ task_util_cpu_inv(p) = duty_cycle(p) * (capacity(cpu) / max_capacity)
+
+with ``max_capacity`` being the highest CPU capacity value in the
+system. Applying this formula to the above example above yields a CPU
+invariant task utilization of 25%.
+
+2.4 Invariant task utilization
+------------------------------
+
+Both frequency and CPU invariance need to be applied to task utilization in
+order to obtain a truly invariant signal. The pseudo-formula for a task
+utilization that is both CPU and frequency invariant is thus, for a given
+task p::
+
+ curr_frequency(cpu) capacity(cpu)
+ task_util_inv(p) = duty_cycle(p) * ------------------- * -------------
+ max_frequency(cpu) max_capacity
+
+In other words, invariant task utilization describes the behaviour of a task as
+if it were running on the highest-capacity CPU in the system, running at its
+maximum frequency.
+
+Any mention of task utilization in the following sections will imply its
+invariant form.
+
+2.5 Utilization estimation
+--------------------------
+
+Without a crystal ball, task behaviour (and thus task utilization) cannot
+accurately be predicted the moment a task first becomes runnable. The CFS class
+maintains a handful of CPU and task signals based on the Per-Entity Load
+Tracking (PELT) mechanism, one of those yielding an *average* utilization (as
+opposed to instantaneous).
+
+This means that while the capacity aware scheduling criteria will be written
+considering a "true" task utilization (using a crystal ball), the implementation
+will only ever be able to use an estimator thereof.
+
+3. Capacity aware scheduling requirements
+=========================================
+
+3.1 CPU capacity
+----------------
+
+Linux cannot currently figure out CPU capacity on its own, this information thus
+needs to be handed to it. Architectures must define arch_scale_cpu_capacity()
+for that purpose.
+
+The arm and arm64 architectures directly map this to the arch_topology driver
+CPU scaling data, which is derived from the capacity-dmips-mhz CPU binding; see
+Documentation/devicetree/bindings/arm/cpu-capacity.txt.
+
+3.2 Frequency invariance
+------------------------
+
+As stated in 2.2, capacity-aware scheduling requires a frequency-invariant task
+utilization. Architectures must define arch_scale_freq_capacity(cpu) for that
+purpose.
+
+Implementing this function requires figuring out at which frequency each CPU
+have been running at. One way to implement this is to leverage hardware counters
+whose increment rate scale with a CPU's current frequency (APERF/MPERF on x86,
+AMU on arm64). Another is to directly hook into cpufreq frequency transitions,
+when the kernel is aware of the switched-to frequency (also employed by
+arm/arm64).
+
+4. Scheduler topology
+=====================
+
+During the construction of the sched domains, the scheduler will figure out
+whether the system exhibits asymmetric CPU capacities. Should that be the
+case:
+
+- The sched_asym_cpucapacity static key will be enabled.
+- The SD_ASYM_CPUCAPACITY flag will be set at the lowest sched_domain level that
+ spans all unique CPU capacity values.
+
+The sched_asym_cpucapacity static key is intended to guard sections of code that
+cater to asymmetric CPU capacity systems. Do note however that said key is
+*system-wide*. Imagine the following setup using cpusets::
+
+ capacity C/2 C
+ ________ ________
+ / \ / \
+ CPUs 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7
+ \__/ \______________/
+ cpusets cs0 cs1
+
+Which could be created via:
+
+.. code-block:: sh
+
+ mkdir /sys/fs/cgroup/cpuset/cs0
+ echo 0-1 > /sys/fs/cgroup/cpuset/cs0/cpuset.cpus
+ echo 0 > /sys/fs/cgroup/cpuset/cs0/cpuset.mems
+
+ mkdir /sys/fs/cgroup/cpuset/cs1
+ echo 2-7 > /sys/fs/cgroup/cpuset/cs1/cpuset.cpus
+ echo 0 > /sys/fs/cgroup/cpuset/cs1/cpuset.mems
+
+ echo 0 > /sys/fs/cgroup/cpuset/cpuset.sched_load_balance
+
+Since there *is* CPU capacity asymmetry in the system, the
+sched_asym_cpucapacity static key will be enabled. However, the sched_domain
+hierarchy of CPUs 0-1 spans a single capacity value: SD_ASYM_CPUCAPACITY isn't
+set in that hierarchy, it describes an SMP island and should be treated as such.
+
+Therefore, the 'canonical' pattern for protecting codepaths that cater to
+asymmetric CPU capacities is to:
+
+- Check the sched_asym_cpucapacity static key
+- If it is enabled, then also check for the presence of SD_ASYM_CPUCAPACITY in
+ the sched_domain hierarchy (if relevant, i.e. the codepath targets a specific
+ CPU or group thereof)
+
+5. Capacity aware scheduling implementation
+===========================================
+
+5.1 CFS
+-------
+
+5.1.1 Capacity fitness
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+The main capacity scheduling criterion of CFS is::
+
+ task_util(p) < capacity(task_cpu(p))
+
+This is commonly called the capacity fitness criterion, i.e. CFS must ensure a
+task "fits" on its CPU. If it is violated, the task will need to achieve more
+work than what its CPU can provide: it will be CPU-bound.
+
+Furthermore, uclamp lets userspace specify a minimum and a maximum utilization
+value for a task, either via sched_setattr() or via the cgroup interface (see
+Documentation/admin-guide/cgroup-v2.rst). As its name imply, this can be used to
+clamp task_util() in the previous criterion.
+
+5.1.2 Wakeup CPU selection
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+CFS task wakeup CPU selection follows the capacity fitness criterion described
+above. On top of that, uclamp is used to clamp the task utilization values,
+which lets userspace have more leverage over the CPU selection of CFS
+tasks. IOW, CFS wakeup CPU selection searches for a CPU that satisfies::
+
+ clamp(task_util(p), task_uclamp_min(p), task_uclamp_max(p)) < capacity(cpu)
+
+By using uclamp, userspace can e.g. allow a busy loop (100% utilization) to run
+on any CPU by giving it a low uclamp.max value. Conversely, it can force a small
+periodic task (e.g. 10% utilization) to run on the highest-performance CPUs by
+giving it a high uclamp.min value.
+
+.. note::
+
+ Wakeup CPU selection in CFS can be eclipsed by Energy Aware Scheduling
+ (EAS), which is described in Documentation/scheduling/sched-energy.rst.
+
+5.1.3 Load balancing
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+A pathological case in the wakeup CPU selection occurs when a task rarely
+sleeps, if at all - it thus rarely wakes up, if at all. Consider::
+
+ w == wakeup event
+
+ capacity(CPU0) = C
+ capacity(CPU1) = C / 3
+
+ workload on CPU0
+ CPU work ^
+ | _________ _________ ____
+ | | | | | |
+ +----+----+----+----+----+----+----+----+----+----+-> time
+ w w w
+
+ workload on CPU1
+ CPU work ^
+ | ____________________________________________
+ | |
+ +----+----+----+----+----+----+----+----+----+----+->
+ w
+
+This workload should run on CPU0, but if the task either:
+
+- was improperly scheduled from the start (inaccurate initial
+ utilization estimation)
+- was properly scheduled from the start, but suddenly needs more
+ processing power
+
+then it might become CPU-bound, IOW ``task_util(p) > capacity(task_cpu(p))``;
+the CPU capacity scheduling criterion is violated, and there may not be any more
+wakeup event to fix this up via wakeup CPU selection.
+
+Tasks that are in this situation are dubbed "misfit" tasks, and the mechanism
+put in place to handle this shares the same name. Misfit task migration
+leverages the CFS load balancer, more specifically the active load balance part
+(which caters to migrating currently running tasks). When load balance happens,
+a misfit active load balance will be triggered if a misfit task can be migrated
+to a CPU with more capacity than its current one.
+
+5.2 RT
+------
+
+5.2.1 Wakeup CPU selection
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+RT task wakeup CPU selection searches for a CPU that satisfies::
+
+ task_uclamp_min(p) <= capacity(task_cpu(cpu))
+
+while still following the usual priority constraints. If none of the candidate
+CPUs can satisfy this capacity criterion, then strict priority based scheduling
+is followed and CPU capacities are ignored.
+
+5.3 DL
+------
+
+5.3.1 Wakeup CPU selection
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+DL task wakeup CPU selection searches for a CPU that satisfies::
+
+ task_bandwidth(p) < capacity(task_cpu(p))
+
+while still respecting the usual bandwidth and deadline constraints. If
+none of the candidate CPUs can satisfy this capacity criterion, then the
+task will remain on its current CPU.

+The TEE kernel interface
+========================
+
+Kernel provides a TEE bus infrastructure where a Trusted Application is
+represented as a device identified via Universally Unique Identifier (UUID) and
+client drivers register a table of supported device UUIDs.
+
+TEE bus infrastructure registers following APIs:
+
+match():
+ iterates over the client driver UUID table to find a corresponding
+ match for device UUID. If a match is found, then this particular device is
+ probed via corresponding probe API registered by the client driver. This
+ process happens whenever a device or a client driver is registered with TEE
+ bus.
+
+uevent():
+ notifies user-space (udev) whenever a new device is registered on
+ TEE bus for auto-loading of modularized client drivers.
+
+TEE bus device enumeration is specific to underlying TEE implementation, so it
+is left open for TEE drivers to provide corresponding implementation.
+
+Then TEE client driver can talk to a matched Trusted Application using APIs
+listed in include/linux/tee_drv.h.

Since the cmpxchg returns the old value of the pointer the first writer
will see it succeeded in updating the pointer from NORMAL to HEAD.
But as we can see, this is not good enough. It must also check to see
-if the tail page is either where it use to be or on the next page:

If tail page != A and tail page != B, then it must reset the pointer

+===========================
+Spazio dei nomi dei simboli
+===========================
+
+Questo documento descrive come usare lo spazio dei nomi dei simboli
+per strutturare quello che viene esportato internamente al kernel
+grazie alle macro della famiglia EXPORT_SYMBOL().
+
+1. Introduzione
+===============
+
+Lo spazio dei nomi dei simboli è stato introdotto come mezzo per strutturare
+l'API esposta internamente al kernel. Permette ai manutentori di un
+sottosistema di organizzare i simboli esportati in diversi spazi di
+nomi. Questo meccanismo è utile per la documentazione (pensate ad
+esempio allo spazio dei nomi SUBSYSTEM_DEBUG) così come per limitare
+la disponibilità di un gruppo di simboli in altre parti del kernel. Ad
+oggi, i moduli che usano simboli esportati da uno spazio di nomi
+devono prima importare detto spazio. Altrimenti il kernel, a seconda
+della configurazione, potrebbe rifiutare di caricare il modulo o
+avvisare l'utente di un'importazione mancante.
+
+2. Come definire uno spazio dei nomi dei simboli
+================================================
+
+I simboli possono essere esportati in spazi dei nomi usando diversi
+meccanismi. Tutti questi meccanismi cambiano il modo in cui
+EXPORT_SYMBOL e simili vengono guidati verso la creazione di voci in ksymtab.
+
+2.1 Usare le macro EXPORT_SYMBOL
+================================
+
+In aggiunta alle macro EXPORT_SYMBOL() e EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(), che permettono
+di esportare simboli del kernel nella rispettiva tabella, ci sono
+varianti che permettono di esportare simboli all'interno di uno spazio dei
+nomi: EXPORT_SYMBOL_NS() ed EXPORT_SYMBOL_NS_GPL(). Queste macro richiedono un
+argomento aggiuntivo: lo spazio dei nomi.
+Tenete presente che per via dell'espansione delle macro questo argomento deve
+essere un simbolo di preprocessore. Per esempio per esportare il
+simbolo `usb_stor_suspend` nello spazio dei nomi `USB_STORAGE` usate::
+
+ EXPORT_SYMBOL_NS(usb_stor_suspend, USB_STORAGE);
+
+Di conseguenza, nella tabella dei simboli del kernel ci sarà una voce
+rappresentata dalla struttura `kernel_symbol` che avrà il campo
+`namespace` (spazio dei nomi) impostato. Un simbolo esportato senza uno spazio
+dei nomi avrà questo campo impostato a `NULL`. Non esiste uno spazio dei nomi
+di base. Il programma `modpost` e il codice in kernel/module.c usano lo spazio
+dei nomi, rispettivamente, durante la compilazione e durante il caricamento
+di un modulo.
+
+2.2 Usare il simbolo di preprocessore DEFAULT_SYMBOL_NAMESPACE
+==============================================================
+
+Definire lo spazio dei nomi per tutti i simboli di un sottosistema può essere
+logorante e di difficile manutenzione. Perciò è stato fornito un simbolo
+di preprocessore di base (DEFAULT_SYMBOL_NAMESPACE), che, se impostato,
+diventa lo spazio dei simboli di base per tutti gli usi di EXPORT_SYMBOL()
+ed EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL() che non specificano esplicitamente uno spazio dei nomi.
+
+Ci sono molti modi per specificare questo simbolo di preprocessore e il loro
+uso dipende dalle preferenze del manutentore di un sottosistema. La prima
+possibilità è quella di definire il simbolo nel `Makefile` del sottosistema.
+Per esempio per esportare tutti i simboli definiti in usb-common nello spazio
+dei nomi USB_COMMON, si può aggiungere la seguente linea in
+drivers/usb/common/Makefile::
+
+ ccflags-y += -DDEFAULT_SYMBOL_NAMESPACE=USB_COMMON
+
+Questo cambierà tutte le macro EXPORT_SYMBOL() ed EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(). Invece,
+un simbolo esportato con EXPORT_SYMBOL_NS() non verrà cambiato e il simbolo
+verrà esportato nello spazio dei nomi indicato.
+
+Una seconda possibilità è quella di definire il simbolo di preprocessore
+direttamente nei file da compilare. L'esempio precedente diventerebbe::
+
+ #undef DEFAULT_SYMBOL_NAMESPACE
+ #define DEFAULT_SYMBOL_NAMESPACE USB_COMMON
+
+Questo va messo prima di un qualsiasi uso di EXPORT_SYMBOL.
+
+3. Come usare i simboli esportati attraverso uno spazio dei nomi
+================================================================
+
+Per usare i simboli esportati da uno spazio dei nomi, i moduli del
+kernel devono esplicitamente importare il relativo spazio dei nomi; altrimenti
+il kernel potrebbe rifiutarsi di caricare il modulo. Il codice del
+modulo deve usare la macro MODULE_IMPORT_NS per importare lo spazio
+dei nomi che contiene i simboli desiderati. Per esempio un modulo che
+usa il simbolo usb_stor_suspend deve importare lo spazio dei nomi
+USB_STORAGE usando la seguente dichiarazione::
+
+ MODULE_IMPORT_NS(USB_STORAGE);
+
+Questo creerà un'etichetta `modinfo` per ogni spazio dei nomi
+importato. Un risvolto di questo fatto è che gli spazi dei
+nomi importati da un modulo possono essere ispezionati tramite
+modinfo::
+
+ $ modinfo drivers/usb/storage/ums-karma.ko
+ [...]
+ import_ns: USB_STORAGE
+ [...]
+
+
+Si consiglia di posizionare la dichiarazione MODULE_IMPORT_NS() vicino
+ai metadati del modulo come MODULE_AUTHOR() o MODULE_LICENSE(). Fate
+riferimento alla sezione 5. per creare automaticamente le importazioni
+mancanti.
+
+4. Caricare moduli che usano simboli provenienti da spazi dei nomi
+==================================================================
+
+Quando un modulo viene caricato (per esempio usando `insmod`), il kernel
+verificherà la disponibilità di ogni simbolo usato e se lo spazio dei nomi
+che potrebbe contenerli è stato importato. Il comportamento di base del kernel
+è di rifiutarsi di caricare quei moduli che non importano tutti gli spazi dei
+nomi necessari. L'errore verrà annotato e il caricamento fallirà con l'errore
+EINVAL. Per caricare i moduli che non soddisfano questo requisito esiste
+un'opzione di configurazione: impostare
+MODULE_ALLOW_MISSING_NAMESPACE_IMPORTS=y caricherà i moduli comunque ma
+emetterà un avviso.
+
+5. Creare automaticamente la dichiarazione MODULE_IMPORT_NS
+===========================================================
+
+La mancanza di un'importazione può essere individuata facilmente al momento
+della compilazione. Infatti, modpost emetterà un avviso se il modulo usa
+un simbolo da uno spazio dei nomi che non è stato importato.
+La dichiarazione MODULE_IMPORT_NS() viene solitamente aggiunta in un posto
+ben definito (assieme agli altri metadati del modulo). Per facilitare
+la vita di chi scrive moduli (e i manutentori di sottosistemi), esistono uno
+script e un target make per correggere le importazioni mancanti. Questo può
+essere fatto con::
+
+ $ make nsdeps
+
+Lo scenario tipico di chi scrive un modulo potrebbe essere::
+
+ - scrivere codice che dipende da un simbolo appartenente ad uno spazio
+ dei nomi non importato
+ - eseguire `make`
+ - aver notato un avviso da modpost che parla di un'importazione
+ mancante
+ - eseguire `make nsdeps` per aggiungere import nel posto giusto
+
+Per i manutentori di sottosistemi che vogliono aggiungere uno spazio dei nomi,
+l'approccio è simile. Di nuovo, eseguendo `make nsdeps` aggiungerà le
+importazioni mancanti nei moduli inclusi nel kernel::
+
+ - spostare o aggiungere simboli ad uno spazio dei nomi (per esempio
+ usando EXPORT_SYMBOL_NS())
+ - eseguire `make` (preferibilmente con allmodconfig per coprire tutti
+ i moduli del kernel)
+ - aver notato un avviso da modpost che parla di un'importazione
+ mancante
+ - eseguire `make nsdeps` per aggiungere import nel posto giusto
+
+Potete anche eseguire nsdeps per moduli esterni. Solitamente si usa così::
+
+ $ make -C <path_to_kernel_src> M=$PWD nsdeps

+CPU 负载
+=======
+
+Linux通过``/proc/stat``和``/proc/uptime``导出各种信息,用户空间工具
+如top(1)使用这些信息计算系统花费在某个特定状态的平均时间。
+例如:
+
+ $ iostat
+ Linux 2.6.18.3-exp (linmac) 02/20/2007
+
+ avg-cpu: %user %nice %system %iowait %steal %idle
+ 10.01 0.00 2.92 5.44 0.00 81.63
+
+ ...
+
+这里系统认为在默认采样周期內有10.01%的时间工作在用户空间,2.92%的时
+间用在系统空间,总体上有81.63%的时间是空闲的。
+
+大多数情况下``/proc/stat``的信息几乎真实反映了系统信息,然而,由于内
+核采集这些数据的方式/时间的特点,有时这些信息根本不可靠。
+
+那么这些信息是如何被搜集的呢?每当时间中断触发时,内核查看此刻运行的
+进程类型,并增加与此类型/状态进程对应的计数器的值。这种方法的问题是
+在两次时间中断之间系统(进程)能够在多种状态之间切换多次,而计数器只
+增加最后一种状态下的计数。
+
+举例
+---
+
+假设系统有一个进程以如下方式周期性地占用cpu::
+
+ 两个时钟中断之间的时间线
+ |-----------------------|
+ ^ ^
+ |_ 开始运行 |
+ |_ 开始睡眠
+ (很快会被唤醒)
+
+在上面的情况下,根据``/proc/stat``的信息(由于当系统处于空闲状态时,
+时间中断经常会发生)系统的负载将会是0
+
+大家能够想象内核的这种行为会发生在许多情况下,这将导致``/proc/stat``
+中存在相当古怪的信息::
+
+ /* gcc -o hog smallhog.c */
+ #include <time.h>
+ #include <limits.h>
+ #include <signal.h>
+ #include <sys/time.h>

+ {

+ while (!stop && --niters);

+Using FS and GS segments in user space applications
+===================================================
+
+The x86 architecture supports segmentation. Instructions which access
+memory can use segment register based addressing mode. The following
+notation is used to address a byte within a segment:
+
+ Segment-register:Byte-address
+
+The segment base address is added to the Byte-address to compute the
+resulting virtual address which is accessed. This allows to access multiple
+instances of data with the identical Byte-address, i.e. the same code. The
+selection of a particular instance is purely based on the base-address in
+the segment register.
+
+In 32-bit mode the CPU provides 6 segments, which also support segment
+limits. The limits can be used to enforce address space protections.
+
+In 64-bit mode the CS/SS/DS/ES segments are ignored and the base address is
+always 0 to provide a full 64bit address space. The FS and GS segments are
+still functional in 64-bit mode.
+
+Common FS and GS usage
+------------------------------
+
+The FS segment is commonly used to address Thread Local Storage (TLS). FS
+is usually managed by runtime code or a threading library. Variables
+declared with the '__thread' storage class specifier are instantiated per
+thread and the compiler emits the FS: address prefix for accesses to these
+variables. Each thread has its own FS base address so common code can be
+used without complex address offset calculations to access the per thread
+instances. Applications should not use FS for other purposes when they use
+runtimes or threading libraries which manage the per thread FS.
+
+The GS segment has no common use and can be used freely by
+applications. GCC and Clang support GS based addressing via address space
+identifiers.
+
+Reading and writing the FS/GS base address
+------------------------------------------
+
+There exist two mechanisms to read and write the FS/GS base address:
+
+ - the arch_prctl() system call
+
+ - the FSGSBASE instruction family
+
+Accessing FS/GS base with arch_prctl()
+--------------------------------------
+
+ The arch_prctl(2) based mechanism is available on all 64-bit CPUs and all
+ kernel versions.
+
+ Reading the base:
+
+ arch_prctl(ARCH_GET_FS, &fsbase);
+ arch_prctl(ARCH_GET_GS, &gsbase);
+
+ Writing the base:
+
+ arch_prctl(ARCH_SET_FS, fsbase);
+ arch_prctl(ARCH_SET_GS, gsbase);
+
+ The ARCH_SET_GS prctl may be disabled depending on kernel configuration
+ and security settings.
+
+Accessing FS/GS base with the FSGSBASE instructions
+---------------------------------------------------
+
+ With the Ivy Bridge CPU generation Intel introduced a new set of
+ instructions to access the FS and GS base registers directly from user
+ space. These instructions are also supported on AMD Family 17H CPUs. The
+ following instructions are available:
+
+ =============== ===========================
+ RDFSBASE %reg Read the FS base register
+ RDGSBASE %reg Read the GS base register
+ WRFSBASE %reg Write the FS base register
+ WRGSBASE %reg Write the GS base register
+ =============== ===========================
+
+ The instructions avoid the overhead of the arch_prctl() syscall and allow
+ more flexible usage of the FS/GS addressing modes in user space
+ applications. This does not prevent conflicts between threading libraries
+ and runtimes which utilize FS and applications which want to use it for
+ their own purpose.
+
+FSGSBASE instructions enablement
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+ The instructions are enumerated in CPUID leaf 7, bit 0 of EBX. If
+ available /proc/cpuinfo shows 'fsgsbase' in the flag entry of the CPUs.
+
+ The availability of the instructions does not enable them
+ automatically. The kernel has to enable them explicitly in CR4. The
+ reason for this is that older kernels make assumptions about the values in
+ the GS register and enforce them when GS base is set via
+ arch_prctl(). Allowing user space to write arbitrary values to GS base
+ would violate these assumptions and cause malfunction.
+
+ On kernels which do not enable FSGSBASE the execution of the FSGSBASE
+ instructions will fault with a #UD exception.
+
+ The kernel provides reliable information about the enabled state in the
+ ELF AUX vector. If the HWCAP2_FSGSBASE bit is set in the AUX vector, the
+ kernel has FSGSBASE instructions enabled and applications can use them.
+ The following code example shows how this detection works::
+
+ #include <sys/auxv.h>
+ #include <elf.h>
+
+ /* Will be eventually in asm/hwcap.h */
+ #ifndef HWCAP2_FSGSBASE
+ #define HWCAP2_FSGSBASE (1 << 1)
+ #endif
+
+ ....
+
+ unsigned val = getauxval(AT_HWCAP2);
+
+ if (val & HWCAP2_FSGSBASE)
+ printf("FSGSBASE enabled\n");
+
+FSGSBASE instructions compiler support
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+GCC version 4.6.4 and newer provide instrinsics for the FSGSBASE
+instructions. Clang 5 supports them as well.
+
+ =================== ===========================
+ _readfsbase_u64() Read the FS base register
+ _readfsbase_u64() Read the GS base register
+ _writefsbase_u64() Write the FS base register
+ _writegsbase_u64() Write the GS base register
+ =================== ===========================
+
+To utilize these instrinsics <immintrin.h> must be included in the source
+code and the compiler option -mfsgsbase has to be added.
+
+Compiler support for FS/GS based addressing
+-------------------------------------------
+
+GCC version 6 and newer provide support for FS/GS based addressing via
+Named Address Spaces. GCC implements the following address space
+identifiers for x86:
+
+ ========= ====================================
+ __seg_fs Variable is addressed relative to FS
+ __seg_gs Variable is addressed relative to GS
+ ========= ====================================
+
+The preprocessor symbols __SEG_FS and __SEG_GS are defined when these
+address spaces are supported. Code which implements fallback modes should
+check whether these symbols are defined. Usage example::
+
+ #ifdef __SEG_GS
+
+ long data0 = 0;
+ long data1 = 1;
+
+ long __seg_gs *ptr;
+
+ /* Check whether FSGSBASE is enabled by the kernel (HWCAP2_FSGSBASE) */
+ ....
+
+ /* Set GS base to point to data0 */
+ _writegsbase_u64(&data0);
+
+ /* Access offset 0 of GS */
+ ptr = 0;
+ printf("data0 = %ld\n", *ptr);
+
+ /* Set GS base to point to data1 */
+ _writegsbase_u64(&data1);
+ /* ptr still addresses offset 0! */
+ printf("data1 = %ld\n", *ptr);
+
+
+Clang does not provide the GCC address space identifiers, but it provides
+address spaces via an attribute based mechanism in Clang 2.6 and newer
+versions:
+
+ ==================================== =====================================
+ __attribute__((address_space(256)) Variable is addressed relative to GS
+ __attribute__((address_space(257)) Variable is addressed relative to FS
+ ==================================== =====================================
+
+FS/GS based addressing with inline assembly
+-------------------------------------------
+
+In case the compiler does not support address spaces, inline assembly can
+be used for FS/GS based addressing mode::
+
+ mov %fs:offset, %reg
+ mov %gs:offset, %reg
+
+ mov %reg, %fs:offset
+ mov %reg, %gs:offset
