+Date: Sep 2009
+KernelVersion: 2.6.33
+Contact: andi@firstfloor.org
+Description:
+ Soft-offline the memory page containing the physical address
+ written into this file. Input is a hex number specifying the
+ physical address of the page. The kernel will then attempt
+ to soft-offline it, by moving the contents elsewhere or
+ dropping it if possible. The kernel will then be placed
+ on the bad page list and never be reused.
+
+ The offlining is done in kernel specific granuality.
+ Normally it's the base page size of the kernel, but
+ this might change.
+
+ The page must be still accessible, not poisoned. The
+ kernel will never kill anything for this, but rather
+ fail the offline. Return value is the size of the
+ number, or a error when the offlining failed. Reading
+ the file is not allowed.

- <title>Introduction</title>
-
- <para>
- The <filename class="directory">/proc</filename> file system
- (procfs) is a special file system in the linux kernel. It's a
- virtual file system: it is not associated with a block device
- but exists only in memory. The files in the procfs are there to
- allow userland programs access to certain information from the
- kernel (like process information in <filename
- class="directory">/proc/[0-9]+/</filename>), but also for debug
- purposes (like <filename>/proc/ksyms</filename>).
- </para>
-
- <para>
- This guide describes the use of the procfs file system from
- within the Linux kernel. It starts by introducing all relevant
- functions to manage the files within the file system. After that
- it shows how to communicate with userland, and some tips and
- tricks will be pointed out. Finally a complete example will be
- shown.
- </para>
-
- <para>
- Note that the files in <filename
- class="directory">/proc/sys</filename> are sysctl files: they
- don't belong to procfs and are governed by a completely
- different API described in the Kernel API book.
- </para>

- <chapter id="managing">
- <title>Managing procfs entries</title>
-
- <para>
- This chapter describes the functions that various kernel
- components use to populate the procfs with files, symlinks,
- device nodes, and directories.
- </para>
-
- <para>
- A minor note before we start: if you want to use any of the
- procfs functions, be sure to include the correct header file!
- This should be one of the first lines in your code:

- <para>
- This function creates a regular file with the name
- <parameter>name</parameter>, file mode
- <parameter>mode</parameter> in the directory
- <parameter>parent</parameter>. To create a file in the root of
- the procfs, use <constant>NULL</constant> as
- <parameter>parent</parameter> parameter. When successful, the
- function will return a pointer to the freshly created
- <structname>struct proc_dir_entry</structname>; otherwise it
- will return <constant>NULL</constant>. <xref
- linkend="userland"/> describes how to do something useful with
- regular files.

- <title>A single call back for many files</title>
-
- <para>
- When a large number of almost identical files is used, it's
- quite inconvenient to use a separate call back function for
- each file. A better approach is to have a single call back
- function that distinguishes between the files by using the
- <structfield>data</structfield> field in <structname>struct
- proc_dir_entry</structname>. First of all, the
- <structfield>data</structfield> field has to be initialised:
- </para>
-
- <programlisting>
-struct proc_dir_entry* entry;
-struct my_file_data *file_data;
-
-file_data = kmalloc(sizeof(struct my_file_data), GFP_KERNEL);
-entry->data = file_data;
- </programlisting>
-
- <para>
- The <structfield>data</structfield> field is a <type>void
- *</type>, so it can be initialised with anything.
- </para>
-
- <para>
- Now that the <structfield>data</structfield> field is set, the
- <function>read_proc</function> and
- <function>write_proc</function> can use it to distinguish
- between files because they get it passed into their
- <parameter>data</parameter> parameter:
- </para>
-
- <programlisting>
-int foo_read_func(char *page, char **start, off_t off,
- int count, int *eof, void *data)

+Linux ACPI Custom Control Method How To
+=======================================
+
+Written by Zhang Rui <rui.zhang@intel.com>
+
+
+Linux supports customizing ACPI control methods at runtime.
+
+Users can use this to
+1. override an existing method which may not work correctly,
+ or just for debugging purposes.
+2. insert a completely new method in order to create a missing
+ method such as _OFF, _ON, _STA, _INI, etc.
+For these cases, it is far simpler to dynamically install a single
+control method rather than override the entire DSDT, because kernel
+rebuild/reboot is not needed and test result can be got in minutes.
+
+Note: Only ACPI METHOD can be overridden, any other object types like
+ "Device", "OperationRegion", are not recognized.
+Note: The same ACPI control method can be overridden for many times,
+ and it's always the latest one that used by Linux/kernel.
+
+1. override an existing method
+ a) get the ACPI table via ACPI sysfs I/F. e.g. to get the DSDT,
+ just run "cat /sys/firmware/acpi/tables/DSDT > /tmp/dsdt.dat"
+ b) disassemble the table by running "iasl -d dsdt.dat".
+ c) rewrite the ASL code of the method and save it in a new file,
+ d) package the new file (psr.asl) to an ACPI table format.
+ Here is an example of a customized \_SB._AC._PSR method,
+
+ DefinitionBlock ("", "SSDT", 1, "", "", 0x20080715)
+ {
+ External (ACON)
+
+ Method (\_SB_.AC._PSR, 0, NotSerialized)
+ {
+ Store ("In AC _PSR", Debug)
+ Return (ACON)
+ }
+ }
+ Note that the full pathname of the method in ACPI namespace
+ should be used.
+ And remember to use "External" to declare external objects.
+ e) assemble the file to generate the AML code of the method.
+ e.g. "iasl psr.asl" (psr.aml is generated as a result)
+ f) mount debugfs by "mount -t debugfs none /sys/kernel/debug"
+ g) override the old method via the debugfs by running
+ "cat /tmp/psr.aml > /sys/kernel/debug/acpi/custom_method"
+
+2. insert a new method
+ This is easier than overriding an existing method.
+ We just need to create the ASL code of the method we want to
+ insert and then follow the step c) ~ g) in section 1.
+
+3. undo your changes
+ The "undo" operation is not supported for a new inserted method
+ right now, i.e. we can not remove a method currently.
+ For an overrided method, in order to undo your changes, please
+ save a copy of the method original ASL code in step c) section 1,
+ and redo step c) ~ g) to override the method with the original one.
+
+
+Note: We can use a kernel with multiple custom ACPI method running,
+ But each individual write to debugfs can implement a SINGLE
+ method override. i.e. if we want to insert/override multiple
+ ACPI methods, we need to redo step c) ~ g) for multiple times.

+OMAP2/3 Display Subsystem
+-------------------------
+
+This is an almost total rewrite of the OMAP FB driver in drivers/video/omap
+(let's call it DSS1). The main differences between DSS1 and DSS2 are DSI,
+TV-out and multiple display support, but there are lots of small improvements
+also.
+
+The DSS2 driver (omapdss module) is in arch/arm/plat-omap/dss/, and the FB,
+panel and controller drivers are in drivers/video/omap2/. DSS1 and DSS2 live
+currently side by side, you can choose which one to use.
+
+Features
+--------
+
+Working and tested features include:
+
+- MIPI DPI (parallel) output
+- MIPI DSI output in command mode
+- MIPI DBI (RFBI) output
+- SDI output
+- TV output
+- All pieces can be compiled as a module or inside kernel
+- Use DISPC to update any of the outputs
+- Use CPU to update RFBI or DSI output
+- OMAP DISPC planes
+- RGB16, RGB24 packed, RGB24 unpacked
+- YUV2, UYVY
+- Scaling
+- Adjusting DSS FCK to find a good pixel clock
+- Use DSI DPLL to create DSS FCK
+
+Tested boards include:
+- OMAP3 SDP board
+- Beagle board
+- N810
+
+omapdss driver
+--------------
+
+The DSS driver does not itself have any support for Linux framebuffer, V4L or
+such like the current ones, but it has an internal kernel API that upper level
+drivers can use.
+
+The DSS driver models OMAP's overlays, overlay managers and displays in a
+flexible way to enable non-common multi-display configuration. In addition to
+modelling the hardware overlays, omapdss supports virtual overlays and overlay
+managers. These can be used when updating a display with CPU or system DMA.
+
+Panel and controller drivers
+----------------------------
+
+The drivers implement panel or controller specific functionality and are not
+usually visible to users except through omapfb driver. They register
+themselves to the DSS driver.
+
+omapfb driver
+-------------
+
+The omapfb driver implements arbitrary number of standard linux framebuffers.
+These framebuffers can be routed flexibly to any overlays, thus allowing very
+dynamic display architecture.
+
+The driver exports some omapfb specific ioctls, which are compatible with the
+ioctls in the old driver.
+
+The rest of the non standard features are exported via sysfs. Whether the final
+implementation will use sysfs, or ioctls, is still open.
+
+V4L2 drivers
+------------
+
+V4L2 is being implemented in TI.
+
+From omapdss point of view the V4L2 drivers should be similar to framebuffer
+driver.
+
+Architecture
+--------------------
+
+Some clarification what the different components do:
+
+ - Framebuffer is a memory area inside OMAP's SRAM/SDRAM that contains the
+ pixel data for the image. Framebuffer has width and height and color
+ depth.
+ - Overlay defines where the pixels are read from and where they go on the
+ screen. The overlay may be smaller than framebuffer, thus displaying only
+ part of the framebuffer. The position of the overlay may be changed if
+ the overlay is smaller than the display.
+ - Overlay manager combines the overlays in to one image and feeds them to
+ display.
+ - Display is the actual physical display device.
+
+A framebuffer can be connected to multiple overlays to show the same pixel data
+on all of the overlays. Note that in this case the overlay input sizes must be
+the same, but, in case of video overlays, the output size can be different. Any
+framebuffer can be connected to any overlay.
+
+An overlay can be connected to one overlay manager. Also DISPC overlays can be
+connected only to DISPC overlay managers, and virtual overlays can be only
+connected to virtual overlays.
+
+An overlay manager can be connected to one display. There are certain
+restrictions which kinds of displays an overlay manager can be connected:
+
+ - DISPC TV overlay manager can be only connected to TV display.
+ - Virtual overlay managers can only be connected to DBI or DSI displays.
+ - DISPC LCD overlay manager can be connected to all displays, except TV

+Sysfs
+-----
+The sysfs interface is mainly used for testing. I don't think sysfs
+interface is the best for this in the final version, but I don't quite know
+what would be the best interfaces for these things.
+
+The sysfs interface is divided to two parts: DSS and FB.

+
+The following definitions have been made for the examples below:
+

+ovl1=/sys/devices/platform/omapdss/overlay1
+ovl2=/sys/devices/platform/omapdss/overlay2
+

+mgr1=/sys/devices/platform/omapdss/manager1
+

+dvi=/sys/devices/platform/omapdss/display1
+tv=/sys/devices/platform/omapdss/display2
+
+fb0=/sys/class/graphics/fb0
+fb1=/sys/class/graphics/fb1
+fb2=/sys/class/graphics/fb2
+
+Default setup on OMAP3 SDP
+--------------------------
+
+Here's the default setup on OMAP3 SDP board. All planes go to LCD. DVI
+and TV-out are not in use. The columns from left to right are:
+framebuffers, overlays, overlay managers, displays. Framebuffers are
+handled by omapfb, and the rest by the DSS.
+
+FB0 --- GFX -\ DVI
+FB1 --- VID1 --+- LCD ---- LCD
+FB2 --- VID2 -/ TV ----- TV
+
+Example: Switch from LCD to DVI
+----------------------
+
+w=`cat $dvi/timings | cut -d "," -f 2 | cut -d "/" -f 1`
+h=`cat $dvi/timings | cut -d "," -f 3 | cut -d "/" -f 1`
+
+echo "0" > $lcd/enabled
+echo "" > $mgr0/display
+fbset -fb /dev/fb0 -xres $w -yres $h -vxres $w -vyres $h
+# at this point you have to switch the dvi/lcd dip-switch from the omap board
+echo "dvi" > $mgr0/display
+echo "1" > $dvi/enabled
+
+After this the configuration looks like:
+
+FB0 --- GFX -\ -- DVI
+FB1 --- VID1 --+- LCD -/ LCD
+FB2 --- VID2 -/ TV ----- TV
+
+Example: Clone GFX overlay to LCD and TV
+-------------------------------
+
+w=`cat $tv/timings | cut -d "," -f 2 | cut -d "/" -f 1`
+h=`cat $tv/timings | cut -d "," -f 3 | cut -d "/" -f 1`
+
+echo "0" > $ovl0/enabled
+echo "0" > $ovl1/enabled
+
+echo "" > $fb1/overlays
+echo "0,1" > $fb0/overlays
+
+echo "$w,$h" > $ovl1/output_size
+echo "tv" > $ovl1/manager
+
+echo "1" > $ovl0/enabled
+echo "1" > $ovl1/enabled
+
+echo "1" > $tv/enabled
+
+After this the configuration looks like (only relevant parts shown):
+
+FB0 +-- GFX ---- LCD ---- LCD
+ \- VID1 ---- TV ---- TV
+
+Misc notes
+----------
+
+OMAP FB allocates the framebuffer memory using the OMAP VRAM allocator.
+
+Using DSI DPLL to generate pixel clock it is possible produce the pixel clock
+of 86.5MHz (max possible), and with that you get 1280x1024@57 output from DVI.
+
+Rotation and mirroring currently only supports RGB565 and RGB8888 modes. VRFB
+does not support mirroring.
+
+VRFB rotation requires much more memory than non-rotated framebuffer, so you
+probably need to increase your vram setting before using VRFB rotation. Also,
+many applications may not work with VRFB if they do not pay attention to all
+framebuffer parameters.
+
+Kernel boot arguments
+---------------------
+
+vram=<size>
+ - Amount of total VRAM to preallocate. For example, "10M". omapfb
+ allocates memory for framebuffers from VRAM.
+
+omapfb.mode=<display>:<mode>[,...]
+ - Default video mode for specified displays. For example,
+ "dvi:800x400MR-24@60". See drivers/video/modedb.c.
+ There are also two special modes: "pal" and "ntsc" that
+ can be used to tv out.
+
+omapfb.vram=<fbnum>:<size>[@<physaddr>][,...]
+ - VRAM allocated for a framebuffer. Normally omapfb allocates vram
+ depending on the display size. With this you can manually allocate
+ more or define the physical address of each framebuffer. For example,
+ "1:4M" to allocate 4M for fb1.
+
+omapfb.debug=<y|n>
+ - Enable debug printing. You have to have OMAPFB debug support enabled
+ in kernel config.
+
+omapfb.test=<y|n>
+ - Draw test pattern to framebuffer whenever framebuffer settings change.
+ You need to have OMAPFB debug support enabled in kernel config.
+
+omapfb.vrfb=<y|n>
+ - Use VRFB rotation for all framebuffers.
+
+omapfb.rotate=<angle>
+ - Default rotation applied to all framebuffers.
+ 0 - 0 degree rotation
+ 1 - 90 degree rotation
+ 2 - 180 degree rotation
+ 3 - 270 degree rotation
+
+omapfb.mirror=<y|n>
+ - Default mirror for all framebuffers. Only works with DMA rotation.
+
+omapdss.def_disp=<display>
+ - Name of default display, to which all overlays will be connected.
+ Common examples are "lcd" or "tv".
+
+omapdss.debug=<y|n>
+ - Enable debug printing. You have to have DSS debug support enabled in
+ kernel config.

-How to lock your code in cache in uClinux/blackfin
---------------------------------------------------
-
-There are only a few steps required to lock your code into the cache.
-Currently you can lock the code by Way.
-
-Below are the interface provided for locking the cache.
-
-
-1. cache_grab_lock(int Ways);
-
-This function grab the lock for locking your code into the cache specified
-by Ways.
-
-
-2. cache_lock(int Ways);
-
-This function should be called after your critical code has been executed.
-Once the critical code exits, the code is now loaded into the cache. This
-function locks the code into the cache.
-
-
-So, the example sequence will be:
-
- cache_grab_lock(WAY0_L); /* Grab the lock */
-
- critical_code(); /* Execute the code of interest */
-
- cache_lock(WAY0_L); /* Lock the cache */
-
-Where WAY0_L signifies WAY0 locking.

-Anticipatory IO scheduler
--------------------------
-Nick Piggin <piggin@cyberone.com.au> 13 Sep 2003
-
-Attention! Database servers, especially those using "TCQ" disks should
-investigate performance with the 'deadline' IO scheduler. Any system with high
-disk performance requirements should do so, in fact.
-
-If you see unusual performance characteristics of your disk systems, or you
-see big performance regressions versus the deadline scheduler, please email
-me. Database users don't bother unless you're willing to test a lot of patches
-from me ;) its a known issue.
-
-Also, users with hardware RAID controllers, doing striping, may find
-highly variable performance results with using the as-iosched. The
-as-iosched anticipatory implementation is based on the notion that a disk
-device has only one physical seeking head. A striped RAID controller
-actually has a head for each physical device in the logical RAID device.
-
-However, setting the antic_expire (see tunable parameters below) produces
-very similar behavior to the deadline IO scheduler.
-
-Selecting IO schedulers
------------------------
-Refer to Documentation/block/switching-sched.txt for information on
-selecting an io scheduler on a per-device basis.
-
-Anticipatory IO scheduler Policies
-----------------------------------
-The as-iosched implementation implements several layers of policies
-to determine when an IO request is dispatched to the disk controller.
-Here are the policies outlined, in order of application.
-
-1. one-way Elevator algorithm.
-
-The elevator algorithm is similar to that used in deadline scheduler, with
-the addition that it allows limited backward movement of the elevator
-(i.e. seeks backwards). A seek backwards can occur when choosing between
-two IO requests where one is behind the elevator's current position, and
-the other is in front of the elevator's position. If the seek distance to
-the request in back of the elevator is less than half the seek distance to
-the request in front of the elevator, then the request in back can be chosen.
-Backward seeks are also limited to a maximum of MAXBACK (1024*1024) sectors.
-This favors forward movement of the elevator, while allowing opportunistic
-"short" backward seeks.
-
-2. FIFO expiration times for reads and for writes.
-
-This is again very similar to the deadline IO scheduler. The expiration
-times for requests on these lists is tunable using the parameters read_expire
-and write_expire discussed below. When a read or a write expires in this way,
-the IO scheduler will interrupt its current elevator sweep or read anticipation
-to service the expired request.
-
-3. Read and write request batching
-
-A batch is a collection of read requests or a collection of write
-requests. The as scheduler alternates dispatching read and write batches
-to the driver. In the case a read batch, the scheduler submits read
-requests to the driver as long as there are read requests to submit, and
-the read batch time limit has not been exceeded (read_batch_expire).
-The read batch time limit begins counting down only when there are
-competing write requests pending.
-
-In the case of a write batch, the scheduler submits write requests to
-the driver as long as there are write requests available, and the
-write batch time limit has not been exceeded (write_batch_expire).
-However, the length of write batches will be gradually shortened
-when read batches frequently exceed their time limit.
-
-When changing between batch types, the scheduler waits for all requests
-from the previous batch to complete before scheduling requests for the
-next batch.
-
-The read and write fifo expiration times described in policy 2 above
-are checked only when in scheduling IO of a batch for the corresponding
-(read/write) type. So for example, the read FIFO timeout values are
-tested only during read batches. Likewise, the write FIFO timeout
-values are tested only during write batches. For this reason,
-it is generally not recommended for the read batch time
-to be longer than the write expiration time, nor for the write batch
-time to exceed the read expiration time (see tunable parameters below).
-
-When the IO scheduler changes from a read to a write batch,
-it begins the elevator from the request that is on the head of the
-write expiration FIFO. Likewise, when changing from a write batch to
-a read batch, scheduler begins the elevator from the first entry
-on the read expiration FIFO.
-
-4. Read anticipation.
-
-Read anticipation occurs only when scheduling a read batch.
-This implementation of read anticipation allows only one read request
-to be dispatched to the disk controller at a time. In
-contrast, many write requests may be dispatched to the disk controller
-at a time during a write batch. It is this characteristic that can make
-the anticipatory scheduler perform anomalously with controllers supporting
-TCQ, or with hardware striped RAID devices. Setting the antic_expire
-queue parameter (see below) to zero disables this behavior, and the
-anticipatory scheduler behaves essentially like the deadline scheduler.
-
-When read anticipation is enabled (antic_expire is not zero), reads
-are dispatched to the disk controller one at a time.
-At the end of each read request, the IO scheduler examines its next
-candidate read request from its sorted read list. If that next request
-is from the same process as the request that just completed,
-or if the next request in the queue is "very close" to the
-just completed request, it is dispatched immediately. Otherwise,
-statistics (average think time, average seek distance) on the process
-that submitted the just completed request are examined. If it seems
-likely that that process will submit another request soon, and that
-request is likely to be near the just completed request, then the IO
-scheduler will stop dispatching more read requests for up to (antic_expire)
-milliseconds, hoping that process will submit a new request near the one
-that just completed. If such a request is made, then it is dispatched
-immediately. If the antic_expire wait time expires, then the IO scheduler
-will dispatch the next read request from the sorted read queue.
-
-To decide whether an anticipatory wait is worthwhile, the scheduler
-maintains statistics for each process that can be used to compute
-mean "think time" (the time between read requests), and mean seek
-distance for that process. One observation is that these statistics
-are associated with each process, but those statistics are not associated
-with a specific IO device. So for example, if a process is doing IO
-on several file systems on separate devices, the statistics will be
-a combination of IO behavior from all those devices.
-
-
-Tuning the anticipatory IO scheduler
-------------------------------------
-When using 'as', the anticipatory IO scheduler there are 5 parameters under
-/sys/block/*/queue/iosched/. All are units of milliseconds.
-
-The parameters are:
-* read_expire
- Controls how long until a read request becomes "expired". It also controls the
- interval between which expired requests are served, so set to 50, a request
- might take anywhere < 100ms to be serviced _if_ it is the next on the
- expired list. Obviously request expiration strategies won't make the disk
- go faster. The result basically equates to the timeslice a single reader
- gets in the presence of other IO. 100*((seek time / read_expire) + 1) is
- very roughly the % streaming read efficiency your disk should get with
- multiple readers.
-
-* read_batch_expire
- Controls how much time a batch of reads is given before pending writes are
- served. A higher value is more efficient. This might be set below read_expire
- if writes are to be given higher priority than reads, but reads are to be
- as efficient as possible when there are no writes. Generally though, it
- should be some multiple of read_expire.
-
-* write_expire, and
-* write_batch_expire are equivalent to the above, for writes.
-
-* antic_expire
- Controls the maximum amount of time we can anticipate a good read (one
- with a short seek distance from the most recently completed request) before
- giving up. Many other factors may cause anticipation to be stopped early,
- or some processes will not be "anticipated" at all. Should be a bit higher
- for big seek time devices though not a linear correspondence - most
- processes have only a few ms thinktime.
-
-In addition to the tunables above there is a read-only file named est_time
-which, when read, will show:
-
- - The probability of a task exiting without a cooperating task
- submitting an anticipated IO.
-
- - The current mean think time.
-
- - The seek distance used to determine if an incoming IO is better.

+Family 10h and 11h processors.
+
+All these processors have a sensor, but on older revisions of Family 10h
+processors, the sensor may return inconsistent values (erratum 319). The
+driver will refuse to load on these revisions unless you specify the
+"force=1" module parameter.
+
+There is one temperature measurement value, available as temp1_input in
+sysfs. It is measured in degrees Celsius with a resolution of 1/8th degree.
+Please note that it is defined as a relative value; to quote the AMD manual:
+
+ Tctl is the processor temperature control value, used by the platform to
+ control cooling systems. Tctl is a non-physical temperature on an
+ arbitrary scale measured in degrees. It does _not_ represent an actual
+ physical temperature like die or case temperature. Instead, it specifies
+ the processor temperature relative to the point at which the system must
+ supply the maximum cooling for the processor's specified maximum case
+ temperature and maximum thermal power dissipation.
+
+The maximum value for Tctl is available in the file temp1_max.
+
+If the BIOS has enabled hardware temperature control, the threshold at
+which the processor will throttle itself to avoid damage is available in
+temp1_crit and temp1_crit_hyst.

+Selftest is meant only for hardware diagnostic purposes. It is not meant to be
+used during normal operations. Position data is not corrupted during selftest
+but interrupt behaviour is not guaranteed to work reliably. In test mode, the
+sensing element is internally moved little bit. Selftest measures difference
+between normal mode and test mode. Chip specifications tell the acceptance
+limit for each type of the chip. Limits are provided via platform data
+to allow adjustment of the limits without a change to the actual driver.
+Seltest returns either "OK x y z" or "FAIL x y z" where x, y and z are

+Measurement values are provided to help HW diagnostic applications to make
+final decision.
+
+On HP laptops, if the led infrastructure is activated, support for a led

Another feature of the driver is misc device called "freefall" that
acts similar to /dev/rtc and reacts on free-fall interrupts received
from the device. It supports blocking operations, poll/select and
fasync operation modes. You must read 1 bytes from the device. The

+Volume control (Console Audio control)
+--------------------------------------
+
+procfs: /proc/acpi/ibm/volume
+ALSA: "ThinkPad Console Audio Control", default ID: "ThinkPadEC"
+
+NOTE: by default, the volume control interface operates in read-only
+mode, as it is supposed to be used for on-screen-display purposes.
+The read/write mode can be enabled through the use of the
+"volume_control=1" module parameter.
+
+NOTE: distros are urged to not enable volume_control by default, this
+should be done by the local admin only. The ThinkPad UI is for the
+console audio control to be done through the volume keys only, and for
+the desktop environment to just provide on-screen-display feedback.
+Software volume control should be done only in the main AC97/HDA
+mixer.
+
+
+About the ThinkPad Console Audio control:
+
+ThinkPads have a built-in amplifier and muting circuit that drives the
+console headphone and speakers. This circuit is after the main AC97
+or HDA mixer in the audio path, and under exclusive control of the
+firmware.
+
+ThinkPads have three special hotkeys to interact with the console
+audio control: volume up, volume down and mute.
+
+It is worth noting that the normal way the mute function works (on
+ThinkPads that do not have a "mute LED") is:
-This feature allows volume control on ThinkPad models which don't have
-a hardware volume knob. The available commands are:
+1. Press mute to mute. It will *always* mute, you can press it as
+ many times as you want, and the sound will remain mute.
+
+2. Press either volume key to unmute the ThinkPad (it will _not_
+ change the volume, it will just unmute).
+
+This is a very superior design when compared to the cheap software-only
+mute-toggle solution found on normal consumer laptops: you can be
+absolutely sure the ThinkPad will not make noise if you press the mute
+button, no matter the previous state.
+
+The IBM ThinkPads, and the earlier Lenovo ThinkPads have variable-gain
+amplifiers driving the speakers and headphone output, and the firmware
+also handles volume control for the headphone and speakers on these
+ThinkPads without any help from the operating system (this volume
+control stage exists after the main AC97 or HDA mixer in the audio
+path).
+
+The newer Lenovo models only have firmware mute control, and depend on
+the main HDA mixer to do volume control (which is done by the operating
+system). In this case, the volume keys are filtered out for unmute
+key press (there are some firmware bugs in this area) and delivered as
+normal key presses to the operating system (thinkpad-acpi is not
+involved).
+
+
+The ThinkPad-ACPI volume control:
+
+The preferred way to interact with the Console Audio control is the
+ALSA interface.
+
+The legacy procfs interface allows one to read the current state,
+and if volume control is enabled, accepts the following commands:
echo up >/proc/acpi/ibm/volume
echo down >/proc/acpi/ibm/volume
echo mute >/proc/acpi/ibm/volume
+ echo unmute >/proc/acpi/ibm/volume
echo 'level <level>' >/proc/acpi/ibm/volume
-The <level> number range is 0 to 15 although not all of them may be
-distinct. The unmute the volume after the mute command, use either the
-up or down command (the level command will not unmute the volume).
-The current volume level and mute state is shown in the file.
+The <level> number range is 0 to 14 although not all of them may be
+distinct. To unmute the volume after the mute command, use either the
+up or down command (the level command will not unmute the volume), or
+the unmute command.
+
+You can use the volume_capabilities parameter to tell the driver
+whether your thinkpad has volume control or mute-only control:
+volume_capabilities=1 for mixers with mute and volume control,
+volume_capabilities=2 for mixers with only mute control.
+
+If the driver misdetects the capabilities for your ThinkPad model,
+please report this to ibm-acpi-devel@lists.sourceforge.net, so that we
+can update the driver.
+
+There are two strategies for volume control. To select which one
+should be used, use the volume_mode module parameter: volume_mode=1
+selects EC mode, and volume_mode=3 selects EC mode with NVRAM backing
+(so that volume/mute changes are remembered across shutdown/reboot).
-The ALSA mixer interface to this feature is still missing, but patches
-to add it exist. That problem should be addressed in the not so
-distant future.
+The driver will operate in volume_mode=3 by default. If that does not
+work well on your ThinkPad model, please report this to
+ibm-acpi-devel@lists.sourceforge.net.
+
+The driver supports the standard ALSA module parameters. If the ALSA
+mixer is disabled, the driver will disable all volume functionality.

+The ad525x_dpot driver exports a simple sysfs interface. This allows you to

+settings. Access to the factory programmed tolerance is also provided, but
+interpretation of this settings is required by the end application according to

+
+---------
+ Files
+---------
+
+Each dpot device will have a set of eeprom, rdac, and tolerance files. How
+many depends on the actual part you have, as will the range of allowed values.
+
+The eeprom files are used to program the startup value of the device.
+
+The rdac files are used to program the immediate value of the device.
+
+The tolerance files are the read-only factory programmed tolerance settings
+and may vary greatly on a part-by-part basis. For exact interpretation of
+this field, please consult the datasheet for your part. This is presented
+as a hex file for easier parsing.
+

+ Example
+-----------
+

+
+ # ls /sys/bus/i2c/devices/

+
+ # ls /sys/bus/i2c/devices/0-002f/

+
+You can use simple reads/writes to access these files:

+
+6. Run-time PM and System Sleep
+
+Run-time PM and system sleep (i.e., system suspend and hibernation, also known
+as suspend-to-RAM and suspend-to-disk) interact with each other in a couple of
+ways. If a device is active when a system sleep starts, everything is
+straightforward. But what should happen if the device is already suspended?
+
+The device may have different wake-up settings for run-time PM and system sleep.
+For example, remote wake-up may be enabled for run-time suspend but disallowed
+for system sleep (device_may_wakeup(dev) returns 'false'). When this happens,
+the subsystem-level system suspend callback is responsible for changing the
+device's wake-up setting (it may leave that to the device driver's system
+suspend routine). It may be necessary to resume the device and suspend it again
+in order to do so. The same is true if the driver uses different power levels
+or other settings for run-time suspend and system sleep.
+
+During system resume, devices generally should be brought back to full power,
+even if they were suspended before the system sleep began. There are several
+reasons for this, including:
+
+ * The device might need to switch power levels, wake-up settings, etc.
+
+ * Remote wake-up events might have been lost by the firmware.
+
+ * The device's children may need the device to be at full power in order
+ to resume themselves.
+
+ * The driver's idea of the device state may not agree with the device's
+ physical state. This can happen during resume from hibernation.
+
+ * The device might need to be reset.
+
+ * Even though the device was suspended, if its usage counter was > 0 then most
+ likely it would need a run-time resume in the near future anyway.
+
+ * Always going back to full power is simplest.
+
+If the device was suspended before the sleep began, then its run-time PM status
+will have to be updated to reflect the actual post-system sleep status. The way
+to do this is:
+
+ pm_runtime_disable(dev);
+ pm_runtime_set_active(dev);
+ pm_runtime_enable(dev);
+
+The PM core always increments the run-time usage counter before calling the
+->prepare() callback and decrements it after calling the ->complete() callback.
+Hence disabling run-time PM temporarily like this will not cause any run-time
+suspend callbacks to be lost.

+* OpenPIC and its interrupt numbers on Freescale's e500/e600 cores
+
+The OpenPIC specification does not specify which interrupt source has to
+become which interrupt number. This is up to the software implementation
+of the interrupt controller. The only requirement is that every
+interrupt source has to have an unique interrupt number / vector number.
+To accomplish this the current implementation assigns the number zero to
+the first source, the number one to the second source and so on until
+all interrupt sources have their unique number.
+Usually the assigned vector number equals the interrupt number mentioned
+in the documentation for a given core / CPU. This is however not true
+for the e500 cores (MPC85XX CPUs) where the documentation distinguishes
+between internal and external interrupt sources and starts counting at
+zero for both of them.
+
+So what to write for external interrupt source X or internal interrupt
+source Y into the device tree? Here is an example:
+
+The memory map for the interrupt controller in the MPC8544[0] shows,
+that the first interrupt source starts at 0x5_0000 (PIC Register Address
+Map-Interrupt Source Configuration Registers). This source becomes the
+number zero therefore:
+ External interrupt 0 = interrupt number 0
+ External interrupt 1 = interrupt number 1
+ External interrupt 2 = interrupt number 2
+ ...
+Every interrupt number allocates 0x20 bytes register space. So to get
+its number it is sufficient to shift the lower 16bits to right by five.
+So for the external interrupt 10 we have:
+ 0x0140 >> 5 = 10
+
+After the external sources, the internal sources follow. The in core I2C
+controller on the MPC8544 for instance has the internal source number
+27. Oo obtain its interrupt number we take the lower 16bits of its memory
+address (0x5_0560) and shift it right:
+ 0x0560 >> 5 = 43
+
+Therefore the I2C device node for the MPC8544 CPU has to have the
+interrupt number 43 specified in the device tree.

-HAYES ESP DRIVER VERSION 2.1
-
-A big thanks to the people at Hayes, especially Alan Adamson. Their support
-has enabled me to provide enhancements to the driver.
-
-Please report your experiences with this driver to me (arobinso@nyx.net). I
-am looking for both positive and negative feedback.
-
-*** IMPORTANT CHANGES FOR 2.1 ***
-Support for PIO mode. Five situations will cause PIO mode to be used:
-1) A multiport card is detected. PIO mode will always be used. (8 port cards
-do not support DMA).
-2) The DMA channel is set to an invalid value (anything other than 1 or 3).
-3) The DMA buffer/channel could not be allocated. The port will revert to PIO
-mode until it is reopened.
-4) Less than a specified number of bytes need to be transferred to/from the
-FIFOs. PIO mode will be used for that transfer only.
-5) A port needs to do a DMA transfer and another port is already using the
-DMA channel. PIO mode will be used for that transfer only.
-
-Since the Hayes ESP seems to conflict with other cards (notably sound cards)
-when using DMA, DMA is turned off by default. To use DMA, it must be turned
-on explicitly, either with the "dma=" option described below or with
-setserial. A multiport card can be forced into DMA mode by using setserial;
-however, most multiport cards don't support DMA.
-
-The latest version of setserial allows the enhanced configuration of the ESP
-card to be viewed and modified.
-***
-
-This package contains the files needed to compile a module to support the Hayes
-ESP card. The drivers are basically a modified version of the serial drivers.
-
-Features:
-
-- Uses the enhanced mode of the ESP card, allowing a wider range of
- interrupts and features than compatibility mode
-- Uses DMA and 16 bit PIO mode to transfer data to and from the ESP's FIFOs,
- reducing CPU load
-- Supports primary and secondary ports
-
-
-If the driver is compiled as a module, the IRQs to use can be specified by
-using the irq= option. The format is:
-
-irq=[0x100],[0x140],[0x180],[0x200],[0x240],[0x280],[0x300],[0x380]
-
-The address in brackets is the base address of the card. The IRQ of
-nonexistent cards can be set to 0. If an IRQ of a card that does exist is set
-to 0, the driver will attempt to guess at the correct IRQ. For example, to set
-the IRQ of the card at address 0x300 to 12, the insmod command would be:
-
-insmod esp irq=0,0,0,0,0,0,12,0
-
-The custom divisor can be set by using the divisor= option. The format is the
-same as for the irq= option. Each divisor value is a series of hex digits,
-with each digit representing the divisor to use for a corresponding port. The
-divisor value is constructed RIGHT TO LEFT. Specifying a nonzero divisor value
-will automatically set the spd_cust flag. To calculate the divisor to use for
-a certain baud rate, divide the port's base baud (generally 921600) by the
-desired rate. For example, to set the divisor of the primary port at 0x300 to
-4 and the divisor of the secondary port at 0x308 to 8, the insmod command would
-be:
-
-insmod esp divisor=0,0,0,0,0,0,0x84,0
-
-The dma= option can be used to set the DMA channel. The channel can be either
-1 or 3. Specifying any other value will force the driver to use PIO mode.
-For example, to set the DMA channel to 3, the insmod command would be:
-
-insmod esp dma=3
-
-The rx_trigger= and tx_trigger= options can be used to set the FIFO trigger
-levels. They specify when the ESP card should send an interrupt. Larger
-values will decrease the number of interrupts; however, a value too high may
-result in data loss. Valid values are 1 through 1023, with 768 being the
-default. For example, to set the receive trigger level to 512 bytes and the
-transmit trigger level to 700 bytes, the insmod command would be:
-
-insmod esp rx_trigger=512 tx_trigger=700
-
-The flow_off= and flow_on= options can be used to set the hardware flow off/
-flow on levels. The flow on level must be lower than the flow off level, and
-the flow off level should be higher than rx_trigger. Valid values are 1
-through 1023, with 1016 being the default flow off level and 944 being the
-default flow on level. For example, to set the flow off level to 1000 bytes
-and the flow on level to 935 bytes, the insmod command would be:
-
-insmod esp flow_off=1000 flow_on=935
-
-The rx_timeout= option can be used to set the receive timeout value. This
-value indicates how long after receiving the last character that the ESP card
-should wait before signalling an interrupt. Valid values are 0 though 255,
-with 128 being the default. A value too high will increase latency, and a
-value too low will cause unnecessary interrupts. For example, to set the
-receive timeout to 255, the insmod command would be:
-
-insmod esp rx_timeout=255
-
-The pio_threshold= option sets the threshold (in number of characters) for
-using PIO mode instead of DMA mode. For example, if this value is 32,
-transfers of 32 bytes or less will always use PIO mode.
-
-insmod esp pio_threshold=32
-
-Multiple options can be listed on the insmod command line by separating each
-option with a space. For example:
-
-insmod esp dma=3 trigger=512
-
-The esp module can be automatically loaded when needed. To cause this to
-happen, add the following lines to /etc/modprobe.conf (replacing the last line
-with options for your configuration):
-
-alias char-major-57 esp
-alias char-major-58 esp
-options esp irq=0,0,0,0,0,0,3,0 divisor=0,0,0,0,0,0,0x4,0
-
-You may also need to run 'depmod -a'.
-
-Devices must be created manually. To create the devices, note the output from
-the module after it is inserted. The output will appear in the location where
-kernel messages usually appear (usually /var/adm/messages). Create two devices
-for each 'tty' mentioned, one with major of 57 and the other with major of 58.
-The minor number should be the same as the tty number reported. The commands
-would be (replace ? with the tty number):
-
-mknod /dev/ttyP? c 57 ?
-mknod /dev/cup? c 58 ?
-
-For example, if the following line appears:
-
-Oct 24 18:17:23 techno kernel: ttyP8 at 0x0140 (irq = 3) is an ESP primary port
-
-...two devices should be created:
-
-mknod /dev/ttyP8 c 57 8
-mknod /dev/cup8 c 58 8
-
-You may need to set the permissions on the devices:
-
-chmod 666 /dev/ttyP*
-chmod 666 /dev/cup*
-
-The ESP module and the serial module should not conflict (they can be used at
-the same time). After the ESP module has been loaded the ports on the ESP card
-will no longer be accessible by the serial driver.
-
-If I/O errors are experienced when accessing the port, check for IRQ and DMA
-conflicts ('cat /proc/interrupts' and 'cat /proc/dma' for a list of IRQs and
-DMAs currently in use).

+
+Interaction of Task Memory Policy with Huge Page Allocation/Freeing
+
+Whether huge pages are allocated and freed via the /proc interface or
+the /sysfs interface using the nr_hugepages_mempolicy attribute, the NUMA
+nodes from which huge pages are allocated or freed are controlled by the
+NUMA memory policy of the task that modifies the nr_hugepages_mempolicy
+sysctl or attribute. When the nr_hugepages attribute is used, mempolicy
+is ignored.
+
+The recommended method to allocate or free huge pages to/from the kernel
+huge page pool, using the nr_hugepages example above, is:
+
+ numactl --interleave <node-list> echo 20 \
+ >/proc/sys/vm/nr_hugepages_mempolicy
+
+or, more succinctly:
+
+ numactl -m <node-list> echo 20 >/proc/sys/vm/nr_hugepages_mempolicy
+
+This will allocate or free abs(20 - nr_hugepages) to or from the nodes
+specified in <node-list>, depending on whether number of persistent huge pages
+is initially less than or greater than 20, respectively. No huge pages will be
+allocated nor freed on any node not included in the specified <node-list>.
+
+When adjusting the persistent hugepage count via nr_hugepages_mempolicy, any
+memory policy mode--bind, preferred, local or interleave--may be used. The
+resulting effect on persistent huge page allocation is as follows:
+
+1) Regardless of mempolicy mode [see Documentation/vm/numa_memory_policy.txt],
+ persistent huge pages will be distributed across the node or nodes
+ specified in the mempolicy as if "interleave" had been specified.
+ However, if a node in the policy does not contain sufficient contiguous
+ memory for a huge page, the allocation will not "fallback" to the nearest
+ neighbor node with sufficient contiguous memory. To do this would cause
+ undesirable imbalance in the distribution of the huge page pool, or
+ possibly, allocation of persistent huge pages on nodes not allowed by
+ the task's memory policy.
+
+2) One or more nodes may be specified with the bind or interleave policy.
+ If more than one node is specified with the preferred policy, only the
+ lowest numeric id will be used. Local policy will select the node where
+ the task is running at the time the nodes_allowed mask is constructed.
+ For local policy to be deterministic, the task must be bound to a cpu or
+ cpus in a single node. Otherwise, the task could be migrated to some
+ other node at any time after launch and the resulting node will be
+ indeterminate. Thus, local policy is not very useful for this purpose.
+ Any of the other mempolicy modes may be used to specify a single node.
+
+3) The nodes allowed mask will be derived from any non-default task mempolicy,
+ whether this policy was set explicitly by the task itself or one of its
+ ancestors, such as numactl. This means that if the task is invoked from a
+ shell with non-default policy, that policy will be used. One can specify a
+ node list of "all" with numactl --interleave or --membind [-m] to achieve
+ interleaving over all nodes in the system or cpuset.
+
+4) Any task mempolicy specifed--e.g., using numactl--will be constrained by
+ the resource limits of any cpuset in which the task runs. Thus, there will
+ be no way for a task with non-default policy running in a cpuset with a
+ subset of the system nodes to allocate huge pages outside the cpuset
+ without first moving to a cpuset that contains all of the desired nodes.
+
+5) Boot-time huge page allocation attempts to distribute the requested number
+ of huge pages over all on-lines nodes with memory.
+
+Per Node Hugepages Attributes
+
+A subset of the contents of the root huge page control directory in sysfs,
+described above, will be replicated under each the system device of each
+NUMA node with memory in:
+
+ /sys/devices/system/node/node[0-9]*/hugepages/
+
+Under this directory, the subdirectory for each supported huge page size
+contains the following attribute files:
+
+ nr_hugepages
+ free_hugepages
+ surplus_hugepages
+
+The free_' and surplus_' attribute files are read-only. They return the number
+of free and surplus [overcommitted] huge pages, respectively, on the parent
+node.
+
+The nr_hugepages attribute returns the total number of huge pages on the
+specified node. When this attribute is written, the number of persistent huge
+pages on the parent node will be adjusted to the specified value, if sufficient
+resources exist, regardless of the task's mempolicy or cpuset constraints.
+
+Note that the number of overcommit and reserve pages remain global quantities,
+as we don't know until fault time, when the faulting task's mempolicy is
+applied, from which node the huge page allocation will be attempted.

The KSM daemon is controlled by sysfs files in /sys/kernel/mm/ksm/,
