Documentation/ABI/obsolete/sysfs-selinux-checkreqprot

+What:		/sys/fs/selinux/checkreqprot
+Date:		April 2005 (predates git)
+KernelVersion:	2.6.12-rc2 (predates git)
+Contact:	selinux@vger.kernel.org
+Description:
+
+	The selinuxfs "checkreqprot" node allows SELinux to be configured
+	to check the protection requested by userspace for mmap/mprotect
+	calls instead of the actual protection applied by the kernel.
+	This was a compatibility mechanism for legacy userspace and
+	for the READ_IMPLIES_EXEC personality flag.  However, if set to
+	1, it weakens security by allowing mappings to be made executable
+	without authorization by policy.  The default value of checkreqprot
+	at boot was changed starting in Linux v4.4 to 0 (i.e. check the
+	actual protection), and Android and Linux distributions have been
+	explicitly writing a "0" to /sys/fs/selinux/checkreqprot during
+	initialization for some time.  Support for setting checkreqprot to 1
+	will be	removed in a future kernel release, at which point the kernel
+	will always cease using checkreqprot internally and will always
+	check the actual protections being applied upon mmap/mprotect calls.
+	The checkreqprot selinuxfs node will remain for backward compatibility
+	but will discard writes of the "0" value and will reject writes of the
+	"1" value when this mechanism is removed.

+Contact:	Dhaval Giani <dhaval@linux.vnet.ibm.com>
+		Srivatsa Vaddagiri <vatsa@linux.vnet.ibm.com>
+Description:
+		The /sys/kernel/uids/<uid>/cpu_shares tunable is used
+		to set the cpu bandwidth a user is allowed. This is a
+		propotional value. What that means is that if there
+		are two users logged in, each with an equal number of
+		shares, then they will get equal CPU bandwidth. Another
+		example would be, if User A has shares = 1024 and user
+		B has shares = 2048, User B will get twice the CPU
+		bandwidth user A will. For more details refer

+Boot Interrupts
+===============
+
+:Author: - Sean V Kelley <sean.v.kelley@linux.intel.com>
+
+Overview
+========
+
+On PCI Express, interrupts are represented with either MSI or inbound
+interrupt messages (Assert_INTx/Deassert_INTx). The integrated IO-APIC in a
+given Core IO converts the legacy interrupt messages from PCI Express to
+MSI interrupts.  If the IO-APIC is disabled (via the mask bits in the
+IO-APIC table entries), the messages are routed to the legacy PCH. This
+in-band interrupt mechanism was traditionally necessary for systems that
+did not support the IO-APIC and for boot. Intel in the past has used the
+term "boot interrupts" to describe this mechanism. Further, the PCI Express
+protocol describes this in-band legacy wire-interrupt INTx mechanism for
+I/O devices to signal PCI-style level interrupts. The subsequent paragraphs
+describe problems with the Core IO handling of INTx message routing to the
+PCH and mitigation within BIOS and the OS.
+
+
+Issue
+=====
+
+When in-band legacy INTx messages are forwarded to the PCH, they in turn
+trigger a new interrupt for which the OS likely lacks a handler. When an
+interrupt goes unhandled over time, they are tracked by the Linux kernel as
+Spurious Interrupts. The IRQ will be disabled by the Linux kernel after it
+reaches a specific count with the error "nobody cared". This disabled IRQ
+now prevents valid usage by an existing interrupt which may happen to share
+the IRQ line.
+
+  irq 19: nobody cared (try booting with the "irqpoll" option)

+
+
+Conditions
+==========
+
+The use of threaded interrupts is the most likely condition to trigger
+this problem today. Threaded interrupts may not be reenabled after the IRQ
+handler wakes. These "one shot" conditions mean that the threaded interrupt
+needs to keep the interrupt line masked until the threaded handler has run.
+Especially when dealing with high data rate interrupts, the thread needs to
+run to completion; otherwise some handlers will end up in stack overflows
+since the interrupt of the issuing device is still active.
+
+Affected Chipsets
+=================
+
+The legacy interrupt forwarding mechanism exists today in a number of
+devices including but not limited to chipsets from AMD/ATI, Broadcom, and
+Intel. Changes made through the mitigations below have been applied to
+drivers/pci/quirks.c
+
+Starting with ICX there are no longer any IO-APICs in the Core IO's
+devices.  IO-APIC is only in the PCH.  Devices connected to the Core IO's
+PCIe Root Ports will use native MSI/MSI-X mechanisms.
+
+Mitigations
+===========
+
+The mitigations take the form of PCI quirks. The preference has been to
+first identify and make use of a means to disable the routing to the PCH.
+In such a case a quirk to disable boot interrupt generation can be
+added.[1]
+
+  Intel® 6300ESB I/O Controller Hub
+  Alternate Base Address Register:
+   BIE: Boot Interrupt Enable
+	  0 = Boot interrupt is enabled.
+	  1 = Boot interrupt is disabled.
+
+  Intel® Sandy Bridge through Sky Lake based Xeon servers:
+  Coherent Interface Protocol Interrupt Control
+   dis_intx_route2pch/dis_intx_route2ich/dis_intx_route2dmi2:
+	  When this bit is set. Local INTx messages received from the
+	  Intel® Quick Data DMA/PCI Express ports are not routed to legacy
+	  PCH - they are either converted into MSI via the integrated IO-APIC
+	  (if the IO-APIC mask bit is clear in the appropriate entries)
+	  or cause no further action (when mask bit is set)
+
+In the absence of a way to directly disable the routing, another approach
+has been to make use of PCI Interrupt pin to INTx routing tables for
+purposes of redirecting the interrupt handler to the rerouted interrupt
+line by default.  Therefore, on chipsets where this INTx routing cannot be
+disabled, the Linux kernel will reroute the valid interrupt to its legacy
+interrupt. This redirection of the handler will prevent the occurrence of
+the spurious interrupt detection which would ordinarily disable the IRQ
+line due to excessive unhandled counts.[2]
+
+The config option X86_REROUTE_FOR_BROKEN_BOOT_IRQS exists to enable (or
+disable) the redirection of the interrupt handler to the PCH interrupt
+line. The option can be overridden by either pci=ioapicreroute or
+pci=noioapicreroute.[3]
+
+
+More Documentation
+==================
+
+There is an overview of the legacy interrupt handling in several datasheets
+(6300ESB and 6700PXH below). While largely the same, it provides insight
+into the evolution of its handling with chipsets.

 =============================================
 
 One of the best applications of RCU is to protect read-mostly linked lists
-("struct list_head" in list.h).  One big advantage of this approach
+(``struct list_head`` in list.h).  One big advantage of this approach
 is that all of the required memory barriers are included for you in
 the list macros.  This document describes several applications of RCU,
 with the best fits first.
 
-Example 1: Read-Side Action Taken Outside of Lock, No In-Place Updates
+
+Example 1: Read-mostly list: Deferred Destruction
+-------------------------------------------------
+
+A widely used usecase for RCU lists in the kernel is lockless iteration over
+all processes in the system. ``task_struct::tasks`` represents the list node that
+links all the processes. The list can be traversed in parallel to any list
+additions or removals.
+
+The traversal of the list is done using ``for_each_process()`` which is defined
+by the 2 macros::
+
+	#define next_task(p) \
+		list_entry_rcu((p)->tasks.next, struct task_struct, tasks)
+
+	#define for_each_process(p) \
+		for (p = &init_task ; (p = next_task(p)) != &init_task ; )
+
+The code traversing the list of all processes typically looks like::
+
+	rcu_read_lock();
+	for_each_process(p) {
+		/* Do something with p */
+	}
+	rcu_read_unlock();
+
+The simplified code for removing a process from a task list is::
+
+	void release_task(struct task_struct *p)
+	{
+		write_lock(&tasklist_lock);
+		list_del_rcu(&p->tasks);
+		write_unlock(&tasklist_lock);
+		call_rcu(&p->rcu, delayed_put_task_struct);
+	}
+
+When a process exits, ``release_task()`` calls ``list_del_rcu(&p->tasks)`` under
+``tasklist_lock`` writer lock protection, to remove the task from the list of
+all tasks. The ``tasklist_lock`` prevents concurrent list additions/removals
+from corrupting the list. Readers using ``for_each_process()`` are not protected
+with the ``tasklist_lock``. To prevent readers from noticing changes in the list
+pointers, the ``task_struct`` object is freed only after one or more grace
+periods elapse (with the help of call_rcu()). This deferring of destruction
+ensures that any readers traversing the list will see valid ``p->tasks.next``
+pointers and deletion/freeing can happen in parallel with traversal of the list.
+This pattern is also called an **existence lock**, since RCU pins the object in
+memory until all existing readers finish.

+Example 5: Skipping Stale Objects
+---------------------------------
+
+For some usecases, reader performance can be improved by skipping stale objects
+during read-side list traversal if the object in concern is pending destruction
+after one or more grace periods. One such example can be found in the timerfd
+subsystem. When a ``CLOCK_REALTIME`` clock is reprogrammed - for example due to
+setting of the system time, then all programmed timerfds that depend on this
+clock get triggered and processes waiting on them to expire are woken up in
+advance of their scheduled expiry. To facilitate this, all such timers are added
+to an RCU-managed ``cancel_list`` when they are setup in
+``timerfd_setup_cancel()``::
+
+	static void timerfd_setup_cancel(struct timerfd_ctx *ctx, int flags)
+	{
+		spin_lock(&ctx->cancel_lock);
+		if ((ctx->clockid == CLOCK_REALTIME &&
+		    (flags & TFD_TIMER_ABSTIME) && (flags & TFD_TIMER_CANCEL_ON_SET)) {
+			if (!ctx->might_cancel) {
+				ctx->might_cancel = true;
+				spin_lock(&cancel_lock);
+				list_add_rcu(&ctx->clist, &cancel_list);
+				spin_unlock(&cancel_lock);
+			}
+		}
+		spin_unlock(&ctx->cancel_lock);
+	}
+
+When a timerfd is freed (fd is closed), then the ``might_cancel`` flag of the
+timerfd object is cleared, the object removed from the ``cancel_list`` and
+destroyed::
+
+	int timerfd_release(struct inode *inode, struct file *file)
+	{
+		struct timerfd_ctx *ctx = file->private_data;
+
+		spin_lock(&ctx->cancel_lock);
+		if (ctx->might_cancel) {
+			ctx->might_cancel = false;
+			spin_lock(&cancel_lock);
+			list_del_rcu(&ctx->clist);
+			spin_unlock(&cancel_lock);
+		}
+		spin_unlock(&ctx->cancel_lock);
+
+		hrtimer_cancel(&ctx->t.tmr);
+		kfree_rcu(ctx, rcu);
+		return 0;
+	}
+
+If the ``CLOCK_REALTIME`` clock is set, for example by a time server, the
+hrtimer framework calls ``timerfd_clock_was_set()`` which walks the
+``cancel_list`` and wakes up processes waiting on the timerfd. While iterating
+the ``cancel_list``, the ``might_cancel`` flag is consulted to skip stale
+objects::
+
+	void timerfd_clock_was_set(void)
+	{
+		struct timerfd_ctx *ctx;
+		unsigned long flags;
+
+		rcu_read_lock();
+		list_for_each_entry_rcu(ctx, &cancel_list, clist) {
+			if (!ctx->might_cancel)
+				continue;
+			spin_lock_irqsave(&ctx->wqh.lock, flags);
+			if (ctx->moffs != ktime_mono_to_real(0)) {
+				ctx->moffs = KTIME_MAX;
+				ctx->ticks++;
+				wake_up_locked_poll(&ctx->wqh, EPOLLIN);
+			}
+			spin_unlock_irqrestore(&ctx->wqh.lock, flags);
+		}
+		rcu_read_unlock();
+	}
+
+The key point here is, because RCU-traversal of the ``cancel_list`` happens
+while objects are being added and removed to the list, sometimes the traversal
+can step on an object that has been removed from the list. In this example, it
+is seen that it is better to skip such objects using a flag.

+
+USAGE ON MAINLINE KERNELS
+
+When using rcutorture to test changes to RCU itself, it is often
+necessary to build a number of kernels in order to test that change
+across a broad range of combinations of the relevant Kconfig options
+and of the relevant kernel boot parameters.  In this situation, use
+of modprobe and rmmod can be quite time-consuming and error-prone.
+
+Therefore, the tools/testing/selftests/rcutorture/bin/kvm.sh
+script is available for mainline testing for x86, arm64, and
+powerpc.  By default, it will run the series of tests specified by
+tools/testing/selftests/rcutorture/configs/rcu/CFLIST, with each test
+running for 30 minutes within a guest OS using a minimal userspace
+supplied by an automatically generated initrd.  After the tests are
+complete, the resulting build products and console output are analyzed
+for errors and the results of the runs are summarized.
+
+On larger systems, rcutorture testing can be accelerated by passing the
+--cpus argument to kvm.sh.  For example, on a 64-CPU system, "--cpus 43"
+would use up to 43 CPUs to run tests concurrently, which as of v5.4 would
+complete all the scenarios in two batches, reducing the time to complete
+from about eight hours to about one hour (not counting the time to build
+the sixteen kernels).  The "--dryrun sched" argument will not run tests,
+but rather tell you how the tests would be scheduled into batches.  This
+can be useful when working out how many CPUs to specify in the --cpus
+argument.
+
+Not all changes require that all scenarios be run.  For example, a change
+to Tree SRCU might run only the SRCU-N and SRCU-P scenarios using the
+--configs argument to kvm.sh as follows:  "--configs 'SRCU-N SRCU-P'".
+Large systems can run multiple copies of of the full set of scenarios,
+for example, a system with 448 hardware threads can run five instances
+of the full set concurrently.  To make this happen:
+
+	kvm.sh --cpus 448 --configs '5*CFLIST'
+
+Alternatively, such a system can run 56 concurrent instances of a single
+eight-CPU scenario:
+
+	kvm.sh --cpus 448 --configs '56*TREE04'
+
+Or 28 concurrent instances of each of two eight-CPU scenarios:
+
+	kvm.sh --cpus 448 --configs '28*TREE03 28*TREE04'
+
+Of course, each concurrent instance will use memory, which can be
+limited using the --memory argument, which defaults to 512M.  Small
+values for memory may require disabling the callback-flooding tests
+using the --bootargs parameter discussed below.
+
+Sometimes additional debugging is useful, and in such cases the --kconfig
+parameter to kvm.sh may be used, for example, "--kconfig 'CONFIG_KASAN=y'".
+
+Kernel boot arguments can also be supplied, for example, to control
+rcutorture's module parameters.  For example, to test a change to RCU's
+CPU stall-warning code, use "--bootargs 'rcutorture.stall_cpu=30'".
+This will of course result in the scripting reporting a failure, namely
+the resuling RCU CPU stall warning.  As noted above, reducing memory may
+require disabling rcutorture's callback-flooding tests:
+
+	kvm.sh --cpus 448 --configs '56*TREE04' --memory 128M \
+		--bootargs 'rcutorture.fwd_progress=0'
+
+Sometimes all that is needed is a full set of kernel builds.  This is
+what the --buildonly argument does.
+
+Finally, the --trust-make argument allows each kernel build to reuse what
+it can from the previous kernel build.
+
+There are additional more arcane arguments that are documented in the
+source code of the kvm.sh script.
+
+If a run contains failures, the number of buildtime and runtime failures
+is listed at the end of the kvm.sh output, which you really should redirect
+to a file.  The build products and console output of each run is kept in
+tools/testing/selftests/rcutorture/res in timestamped directories.  A
+given directory can be supplied to kvm-find-errors.sh in order to have
+it cycle you through summaries of errors and full error logs.  For example:
+
+	tools/testing/selftests/rcutorture/bin/kvm-find-errors.sh \
+		tools/testing/selftests/rcutorture/res/2020.01.20-15.54.23
+
+However, it is often more convenient to access the files directly.
+Files pertaining to all scenarios in a run reside in the top-level
+directory (2020.01.20-15.54.23 in the example above), while per-scenario
+files reside in a subdirectory named after the scenario (for example,
+"TREE04").  If a given scenario ran more than once (as in "--configs
+'56*TREE04'" above), the directories corresponding to the second and
+subsequent runs of that scenario include a sequence number, for example,
+"TREE04.2", "TREE04.3", and so on.
+
+The most frequently used file in the top-level directory is testid.txt.
+If the test ran in a git repository, then this file contains the commit
+that was tested and any uncommitted changes in diff format.
+
+The most frequently used files in each per-scenario-run directory are:
+
+.config: This file contains the Kconfig options.
+
+Make.out: This contains build output for a specific scenario.
+
+console.log: This contains the console output for a specific scenario.
+	This file may be examined once the kernel has booted, but
+	it might not exist if the build failed.
+
+vmlinux: This contains the kernel, which can be useful with tools like
+	objdump and gdb.
+
+A number of additional files are available, but are less frequently used.
+Many are intended for debugging of rcutorture itself or of its scripting.

+As of v5.4, a successful run with the default set of scenarios produces
+the following summary at the end of the run on a 12-CPU system:

+If you want to append the value to existing key as an array member,
+you can use ``+=`` operator. For example::
+
+ foo = bar, baz
+ foo += qux
+
+In this case, the key ``foo`` has ``bar``, ``baz`` and ``qux``.
+
+However, a sub-key and a value can not co-exist under a parent key.
+For example, following config is NOT allowed.::
+

+
+The HugeTLB controller allows users to limit the HugeTLB usage (page fault) per
+control group and enforces the limit during page fault. Since HugeTLB
+doesn't support page reclaim, enforcing the limit at page fault time implies
+that, the application will get SIGBUS signal if it tries to fault in HugeTLB
+pages beyond its limit. Therefore the application needs to know exactly how many
+HugeTLB pages it uses before hand, and the sysadmin needs to make sure that
+there are enough available on the machine for all the users to avoid processes
+getting SIGBUS.
+
+
+2. Reservation accounting
+
+hugetlb.<hugepagesize>.rsvd.limit_in_bytes
+hugetlb.<hugepagesize>.rsvd.max_usage_in_bytes
+hugetlb.<hugepagesize>.rsvd.usage_in_bytes
+hugetlb.<hugepagesize>.rsvd.failcnt
+
+The HugeTLB controller allows to limit the HugeTLB reservations per control
+group and enforces the controller limit at reservation time and at the fault of
+HugeTLB memory for which no reservation exists. Since reservation limits are
+enforced at reservation time (on mmap or shget), reservation limits never causes
+the application to get SIGBUS signal if the memory was reserved before hand. For
+MAP_NORESERVE allocations, the reservation limit behaves the same as the fault
+limit, enforcing memory usage at fault time and causing the application to
+receive a SIGBUS if it's crossing its limit.
+
+Reservation limits are superior to page fault limits described above, since
+reservation limits are enforced at reservation time (on mmap or shget), and
+never causes the application to get SIGBUS signal if the memory was reserved
+before hand. This allows for easier fallback to alternatives such as
+non-HugeTLB memory for example. In the case of page fault accounting, it's very
+hard to avoid processes getting SIGBUS since the sysadmin needs precisely know
+the HugeTLB usage of all the tasks in the system and make sure there is enough
+pages to satisfy all requests. Avoiding tasks getting SIGBUS on overcommited
+systems is practically impossible with page fault accounting.
+
+
+3. Caveats with shared memory
+
+For shared HugeTLB memory, both HugeTLB reservation and page faults are charged
+to the first task that causes the memory to be reserved or faulted, and all
+subsequent uses of this reserved or faulted memory is done without charging.
+
+Shared HugeTLB memory is only uncharged when it is unreserved or deallocated.
+This is usually when the HugeTLB file is deleted, and not when the task that
+caused the reservation or fault has exited.
+
+
+4. Caveats with HugeTLB cgroup offline.
+
+When a HugeTLB cgroup goes offline with some reservations or faults still
+charged to it, the behavior is as follows:
+
+- The fault charges are charged to the parent HugeTLB cgroup (reparented),
+- the reservation charges remain on the offline HugeTLB cgroup.
+
+This means that if a HugeTLB cgroup gets offlined while there is still HugeTLB
+reservations charged to it, that cgroup persists as a zombie until all HugeTLB
+reservations are uncharged. HugeTLB reservations behave in this manner to match
+the memory controller whose cgroups also persist as zombie until all charged
+memory is uncharged. Also, the tracking of HugeTLB reservations is a bit more
+complex compared to the tracking of HugeTLB faults, so it is significantly
+harder to reparent reservations at offline time.

+
+In the good old days when graphics parameters were configured explicitly
+in a file called xorg.conf, even broken hardware could be managed.
+
+Today, with the advent of Kernel Mode Setting, a graphics board is
+either correctly working because all components follow the standards -
+or the computer is unusable, because the screen remains dark after
+booting or it displays the wrong area. Cases when this happens are:
+
+- The graphics board does not recognize the monitor.
+- The graphics board is unable to detect any EDID data.
+- The graphics board incorrectly forwards EDID data to the driver.
+- The monitor sends no or bogus EDID data.
+- A KVM sends its own EDID data instead of querying the connected monitor.
+
+Adding the kernel parameter "nomodeset" helps in most cases, but causes
+restrictions later on.
+
+As a remedy for such situations, the kernel configuration item
+CONFIG_DRM_LOAD_EDID_FIRMWARE was introduced. It allows to provide an
+individually prepared or corrected EDID data set in the /lib/firmware
+directory from where it is loaded via the firmware interface. The code
+(see drivers/gpu/drm/drm_edid_load.c) contains built-in data sets for
+commonly used screen resolutions (800x600, 1024x768, 1280x1024, 1600x1200,
+1680x1050, 1920x1080) as binary blobs, but the kernel source tree does
+not contain code to create these data. In order to elucidate the origin
+of the built-in binary EDID blobs and to facilitate the creation of
+individual data for a specific misbehaving monitor, commented sources
+and a Makefile environment are given here.
+
+To create binary EDID and C source code files from the existing data
+material, simply type "make" in tools/edid/.
+
+If you want to create your own EDID file, copy the file 1024x768.S,
+replace the settings with your own data and add a new target to the
+Makefile. Please note that the EDID data structure expects the timing
+values in a different way as compared to the standard X11 format.

+=====================
+
+::
+
+ PowerNow! and Cool'n'Quiet are AMD names for frequency

+ implementation changes in new generations of the processors,
+ there is a different cpu-freq driver for each generation.
+
+ Note that the driver's will not load on the "wrong" hardware,
+ so it is safe to try each driver in turn when in doubt as to
+ which is the correct driver.
+
+ Note that the functionality to change frequency (and voltage)
+ is not available in all processors. The drivers will refuse
+ to load on processors without this capability. The capability
+ is detected with the cpuid instruction.
+
+ The drivers use BIOS supplied tables to obtain frequency and
+ voltage information appropriate for a particular platform.
+ Frequency transitions will be unavailable if the BIOS does
+ not supply these tables.

+ Documentation on this functionality in 8th generation processors
+ is available in the "BIOS and Kernel Developer's Guide", publication
+ 26094, in chapter 9, available for download from www.amd.com.
+
+ BIOS supplied data, for powernow-k7 and for powernow-k8, may be
+ from either the PSB table or from ACPI objects. The ACPI support
+ is only available if the kernel config sets CONFIG_ACPI_PROCESSOR.
+ The powernow-k8 driver will attempt to use ACPI if so configured,
+ and fall back to PST if that fails.
+ The powernow-k7 driver will try to use the PSB support first, and

+
+ The module has two options:
+
+ 	fid: 	 multiplier * 10 (for example 8.5 = 85)
+ 	min_fsb: minimum FSB
+
+ If not set, fid is calculated from the current CPU speed and the FSB.
+ min_fsb defaults to FSB at boot time - 50 MHz.
+
+ IMPORTANT: The available range is limited downwards!
+            Also the minimum available FSB can differ, for systems
+            booting with 200 MHz, 150 should always work.

+
+ 1. Introduction:
+ ----------------
+ Processor Clocking Control (PCC) is an interface between the platform
+ firmware and OSPM. It is a mechanism for coordinating processor
+ performance (ie: frequency) between the platform firmware and the OS.
+
+ The PCC driver (pcc-cpufreq) allows OSPM to take advantage of the PCC
+ interface.
+
+ OS utilizes the PCC interface to inform platform firmware what frequency the
+ OS wants for a logical processor. The platform firmware attempts to achieve
+ the requested frequency. If the request for the target frequency could not be
+ satisfied by platform firmware, then it usually means that power budget
+ conditions are in place, and "power capping" is taking place.
+
+ 1.1 PCC interface:
+ ------------------
+ The complete PCC specification is available here:
+ https://acpica.org/sites/acpica/files/Processor-Clocking-Control-v1p0.pdf
+
+ PCC relies on a shared memory region that provides a channel for communication
+ between the OS and platform firmware. PCC also implements a "doorbell" that
+ is used by the OS to inform the platform firmware that a command has been
+ sent.
+
+ The ACPI PCCH() method is used to discover the location of the PCC shared
+ memory region. The shared memory region header contains the "command" and
+ "status" interface. PCCH() also contains details on how to access the platform
+ doorbell.
+
+ The following commands are supported by the PCC interface:
+ * Get Average Frequency
+ * Set Desired Frequency
+
+ The ACPI PCCP() method is implemented for each logical processor and is
+ used to discover the offsets for the input and output buffers in the shared
+ memory region.
+
+ When PCC mode is enabled, the platform will not expose processor performance
+ or throttle states (_PSS, _TSS and related ACPI objects) to OSPM. Therefore,
+ the native P-state driver (such as acpi-cpufreq for Intel, powernow-k8 for
+ AMD) will not load.
+
+ However, OSPM remains in control of policy. The governor (eg: "ondemand")
+ computes the required performance for each processor based on server workload.
+ The PCC driver fills in the command interface, and the input buffer and
+ communicates the request to the platform firmware. The platform firmware is
+ responsible for delivering the requested performance.
+
+ Each PCC command is "global" in scope and can affect all the logical CPUs in
+ the system. Therefore, PCC is capable of performing "group" updates. With PCC
+ the OS is capable of getting/setting the frequency of all the logical CPUs in
+ the system with a single call to the BIOS.
+
+ 1.1.1 Get Average Frequency:
+ ----------------------------
+ This command is used by the OSPM to query the running frequency of the
+ processor since the last time this command was completed. The output buffer
+ indicates the average unhalted frequency of the logical processor expressed as
+ a percentage of the nominal (ie: maximum) CPU frequency. The output buffer
+ also signifies if the CPU frequency is limited by a power budget condition.
+
+ 1.1.2 Set Desired Frequency:
+ ----------------------------
+ This command is used by the OSPM to communicate to the platform firmware the
+ desired frequency for a logical processor. The output buffer is currently
+ ignored by OSPM. The next invocation of "Get Average Frequency" will inform
+ OSPM if the desired frequency was achieved or not.
+
+ 1.2 Platforms affected:
+ -----------------------
+ The PCC driver will load on any system where the platform firmware:
+ * supports the PCC interface, and the associated PCCH() and PCCP() methods
+ * assumes responsibility for managing the hardware clocking controls in order
+ to deliver the requested processor performance
+
+ Currently, certain HP ProLiant platforms implement the PCC interface. On those
+ platforms PCC is the "default" choice.
+
+ However, it is possible to disable this interface via a BIOS setting. In
+ such an instance, as is also the case on platforms where the PCC interface
+ is not implemented, the PCC driver will fail to load silently.
+
+ 2. Driver and /sys details:
+ ---------------------------
+ When the driver loads, it merely prints the lowest and the highest CPU
+ frequencies supported by the platform firmware.
+
+ The PCC driver loads with a message such as:
+ pcc-cpufreq: (v1.00.00) driver loaded with frequency limits: 1600 MHz, 2933
+ MHz
+
+ This means that the OPSM can request the CPU to run at any frequency in
+ between the limits (1600 MHz, and 2933 MHz) specified in the message.
+
+ Internally, there is no need for the driver to convert the "target" frequency
+ to a corresponding P-state.
+
+ The VERSION number for the driver will be of the format v.xy.ab.
+ eg: 1.00.02
+    ----- --
+     |    |
+     |    -- this will increase with bug fixes/enhancements to the driver
+     |-- this is the version of the PCC specification the driver adheres to
+
+
+ The following is a brief discussion on some of the fields exported via the
+ /sys filesystem and how their values are affected by the PCC driver:
+
+ 2.1 scaling_available_frequencies:
+ ----------------------------------
+ scaling_available_frequencies is not created in /sys. No intermediate
+ frequencies need to be listed because the BIOS will try to achieve any
+ frequency, within limits, requested by the governor. A frequency does not have
+ to be strictly associated with a P-state.
+
+ 2.2 cpuinfo_transition_latency:
+ -------------------------------
+ The cpuinfo_transition_latency field is 0. The PCC specification does
+ not include a field to expose this value currently.
+
+ 2.3 cpuinfo_cur_freq:
+ ---------------------
+ A) Often cpuinfo_cur_freq will show a value different than what is declared
+ in the scaling_available_frequencies or scaling_cur_freq, or scaling_max_freq.
+ This is due to "turbo boost" available on recent Intel processors. If certain
+ conditions are met the BIOS can achieve a slightly higher speed than requested
+ by OSPM. An example:
+
+ scaling_cur_freq	: 2933000
+ cpuinfo_cur_freq	: 3196000
+
+ B) There is a round-off error associated with the cpuinfo_cur_freq value.
+ Since the driver obtains the current frequency as a "percentage" (%) of the
+ nominal frequency from the BIOS, sometimes, the values displayed by
+ scaling_cur_freq and cpuinfo_cur_freq may not match. An example:
+
+ scaling_cur_freq	: 1600000
+ cpuinfo_cur_freq	: 1583000
+
+ In this example, the nominal frequency is 2933 MHz. The driver obtains the
+ current frequency, cpuinfo_cur_freq, as 54% of the nominal frequency:
+
+ 	54% of 2933 MHz = 1583 MHz
+
+ Nominal frequency is the maximum frequency of the processor, and it usually
+ corresponds to the frequency of the P0 P-state.
+
+ 2.4 related_cpus:
+ -----------------
+ The related_cpus field is identical to affected_cpus.
+
+ affected_cpus	: 4
+ related_cpus	: 4
+
+ Currently, the PCC driver does not evaluate _PSD. The platforms that support
+ PCC do not implement SW_ALL. So OSPM doesn't need to perform any coordination
+ to ensure that the same frequency is requested of all dependent CPUs.
+
+ 3. Caveats:
+ -----------
+ The "cpufreq_stats" module in its present form cannot be loaded and
+ expected to work with the PCC driver. Since the "cpufreq_stats" module
+ provides information wrt each P-state, it is not applicable to the PCC driver.

+
+At least one global system-wide transition needs to be carried out for the
+system to get from the working state into one of the supported
+:doc:`sleep states <sleep-states>`.  Hibernation requires more than one
+transition to occur for this purpose, but the other sleep states, commonly
+referred to as *system-wide suspend* (or simply *system suspend*) states, need
+only one.
+
+For those sleep states, the transition from the working state of the system into
+the target sleep state is referred to as *system suspend* too (in the majority
+of cases, whether this means a transition or a sleep state of the system should
+be clear from the context) and the transition back from the sleep state into the
+working state is referred to as *system resume*.
+
+The kernel code flows associated with the suspend and resume transitions for
+different sleep states of the system are quite similar, but there are some
+significant differences between the :ref:`suspend-to-idle <s2idle>` code flows
+and the code flows related to the :ref:`suspend-to-RAM <s2ram>` and
+:ref:`standby <standby>` sleep states.
+
+The :ref:`suspend-to-RAM <s2ram>` and :ref:`standby <standby>` sleep states
+cannot be implemented without platform support and the difference between them
+boils down to the platform-specific actions carried out by the suspend and
+resume hooks that need to be provided by the platform driver to make them
+available.  Apart from that, the suspend and resume code flows for these sleep
+states are mostly identical, so they both together will be referred to as
+*platform-dependent suspend* states in what follows.
+
+
+.. _s2idle_suspend:
+
+Suspend-to-idle Suspend Code Flow
+=================================
+
+The following steps are taken in order to transition the system from the working
+state to the :ref:`suspend-to-idle <s2idle>` sleep state:
+
+ 1. Invoking system-wide suspend notifiers.
+
+    Kernel subsystems can register callbacks to be invoked when the suspend
+    transition is about to occur and when the resume transition has finished.
+
+    That allows them to prepare for the change of the system state and to clean
+    up after getting back to the working state.
+
+ 2. Freezing tasks.
+
+    Tasks are frozen primarily in order to avoid unchecked hardware accesses
+    from user space through MMIO regions or I/O registers exposed directly to
+    it and to prevent user space from entering the kernel while the next step
+    of the transition is in progress (which might have been problematic for
+    various reasons).
+
+    All user space tasks are intercepted as though they were sent a signal and
+    put into uninterruptible sleep until the end of the subsequent system resume
+    transition.
+
+    The kernel threads that choose to be frozen during system suspend for
+    specific reasons are frozen subsequently, but they are not intercepted.
+    Instead, they are expected to periodically check whether or not they need
+    to be frozen and to put themselves into uninterruptible sleep if so.  [Note,
+    however, that kernel threads can use locking and other concurrency controls
+    available in kernel space to synchronize themselves with system suspend and
+    resume, which can be much more precise than the freezing, so the latter is
+    not a recommended option for kernel threads.]
+
+ 3. Suspending devices and reconfiguring IRQs.
+
+    Devices are suspended in four phases called *prepare*, *suspend*,
+    *late suspend* and *noirq suspend* (see :ref:`driverapi_pm_devices` for more
+    information on what exactly happens in each phase).
+
+    Every device is visited in each phase, but typically it is not physically
+    accessed in more than two of them.
+
+    The runtime PM API is disabled for every device during the *late* suspend
+    phase and high-level ("action") interrupt handlers are prevented from being
+    invoked before the *noirq* suspend phase.
+
+    Interrupts are still handled after that, but they are only acknowledged to
+    interrupt controllers without performing any device-specific actions that
+    would be triggered in the working state of the system (those actions are
+    deferred till the subsequent system resume transition as described
+    `below <s2idle_resume_>`_).
+
+    IRQs associated with system wakeup devices are "armed" so that the resume
+    transition of the system is started when one of them signals an event.
+
+ 4. Freezing the scheduler tick and suspending timekeeping.
+
+    When all devices have been suspended, CPUs enter the idle loop and are put
+    into the deepest available idle state.  While doing that, each of them
+    "freezes" its own scheduler tick so that the timer events associated with
+    the tick do not occur until the CPU is woken up by another interrupt source.
+
+    The last CPU to enter the idle state also stops the timekeeping which
+    (among other things) prevents high resolution timers from triggering going
+    forward until the first CPU that is woken up restarts the timekeeping.
+    That allows the CPUs to stay in the deep idle state relatively long in one
+    go.
+
+    From this point on, the CPUs can only be woken up by non-timer hardware
+    interrupts.  If that happens, they go back to the idle state unless the
+    interrupt that woke up one of them comes from an IRQ that has been armed for
+    system wakeup, in which case the system resume transition is started.
+
+
+.. _s2idle_resume:
+
+Suspend-to-idle Resume Code Flow
+================================
+
+The following steps are taken in order to transition the system from the
+:ref:`suspend-to-idle <s2idle>` sleep state into the working state:
+
+ 1. Resuming timekeeping and unfreezing the scheduler tick.
+
+    When one of the CPUs is woken up (by a non-timer hardware interrupt), it
+    leaves the idle state entered in the last step of the preceding suspend
+    transition, restarts the timekeeping (unless it has been restarted already
+    by another CPU that woke up earlier) and the scheduler tick on that CPU is
+    unfrozen.
+
+    If the interrupt that has woken up the CPU was armed for system wakeup,
+    the system resume transition begins.
+
+ 2. Resuming devices and restoring the working-state configuration of IRQs.
+
+    Devices are resumed in four phases called *noirq resume*, *early resume*,
+    *resume* and *complete* (see :ref:`driverapi_pm_devices` for more
+    information on what exactly happens in each phase).
+
+    Every device is visited in each phase, but typically it is not physically
+    accessed in more than two of them.
+
+    The working-state configuration of IRQs is restored after the *noirq* resume
+    phase and the runtime PM API is re-enabled for every device whose driver
+    supports it during the *early* resume phase.
+
+ 3. Thawing tasks.
+
+    Tasks frozen in step 2 of the preceding `suspend <s2idle_suspend_>`_
+    transition are "thawed", which means that they are woken up from the
+    uninterruptible sleep that they went into at that time and user space tasks
+    are allowed to exit the kernel.
+
+ 4. Invoking system-wide resume notifiers.
+
+    This is analogous to step 1 of the `suspend <s2idle_suspend_>`_ transition
+    and the same set of callbacks is invoked at this point, but a different
+    "notification type" parameter value is passed to them.
+
+
+Platform-dependent Suspend Code Flow
+====================================
+
+The following steps are taken in order to transition the system from the working
+state to platform-dependent suspend state:
+
+ 1. Invoking system-wide suspend notifiers.
+
+    This step is the same as step 1 of the suspend-to-idle suspend transition
+    described `above <s2idle_suspend_>`_.
+
+ 2. Freezing tasks.
+
+    This step is the same as step 2 of the suspend-to-idle suspend transition
+    described `above <s2idle_suspend_>`_.
+
+ 3. Suspending devices and reconfiguring IRQs.
+
+    This step is analogous to step 3 of the suspend-to-idle suspend transition
+    described `above <s2idle_suspend_>`_, but the arming of IRQs for system
+    wakeup generally does not have any effect on the platform.
+
+    There are platforms that can go into a very deep low-power state internally
+    when all CPUs in them are in sufficiently deep idle states and all I/O
+    devices have been put into low-power states.  On those platforms,
+    suspend-to-idle can reduce system power very effectively.
+
+    On the other platforms, however, low-level components (like interrupt
+    controllers) need to be turned off in a platform-specific way (implemented
+    in the hooks provided by the platform driver) to achieve comparable power
+    reduction.
+
+    That usually prevents in-band hardware interrupts from waking up the system,
+    which must be done in a special platform-dependent way.  Then, the
+    configuration of system wakeup sources usually starts when system wakeup
+    devices are suspended and is finalized by the platform suspend hooks later
+    on.
+
+ 4. Disabling non-boot CPUs.
+
+    On some platforms the suspend hooks mentioned above must run in a one-CPU
+    configuration of the system (in particular, the hardware cannot be accessed
+    by any code running in parallel with the platform suspend hooks that may,
+    and often do, trap into the platform firmware in order to finalize the
+    suspend transition).
+
+    For this reason, the CPU offline/online (CPU hotplug) framework is used
+    to take all of the CPUs in the system, except for one (the boot CPU),
+    offline (typically, the CPUs that have been taken offline go into deep idle
+    states).
+
+    This means that all tasks are migrated away from those CPUs and all IRQs are
+    rerouted to the only CPU that remains online.
+
+ 5. Suspending core system components.
+
+    This prepares the core system components for (possibly) losing power going
+    forward and suspends the timekeeping.
+
+ 6. Platform-specific power removal.
+
+    This is expected to remove power from all of the system components except
+    for the memory controller and RAM (in order to preserve the contents of the
+    latter) and some devices designated for system wakeup.
+
+    In many cases control is passed to the platform firmware which is expected
+    to finalize the suspend transition as needed.
+
+
+Platform-dependent Resume Code Flow
+===================================
+
+The following steps are taken in order to transition the system from a
+platform-dependent suspend state into the working state:
+
+ 1. Platform-specific system wakeup.
+
+    The platform is woken up by a signal from one of the designated system
+    wakeup devices (which need not be an in-band hardware interrupt)  and
+    control is passed back to the kernel (the working configuration of the
+    platform may need to be restored by the platform firmware before the
+    kernel gets control again).
+
+ 2. Resuming core system components.
+
+    The suspend-time configuration of the core system components is restored and
+    the timekeeping is resumed.
+
+ 3. Re-enabling non-boot CPUs.
+
+    The CPUs disabled in step 4 of the preceding suspend transition are taken
+    back online and their suspend-time configuration is restored.
+
+ 4. Resuming devices and restoring the working-state configuration of IRQs.
+
+    This step is the same as step 2 of the suspend-to-idle suspend transition
+    described `above <s2idle_resume_>`_.
+
+ 5. Thawing tasks.
+
+    This step is the same as step 3 of the suspend-to-idle suspend transition
+    described `above <s2idle_resume_>`_.
+
+ 6. Invoking system-wide resume notifiers.
+
+    This step is the same as step 4 of the suspend-to-idle suspend transition
+    described `above <s2idle_resume_>`_.

+Activity Monitors Unit (AMU) extension in AArch64 Linux
+=======================================================
+
+Author: Ionela Voinescu <ionela.voinescu@arm.com>
+
+Date: 2019-09-10
+
+This document briefly describes the provision of Activity Monitors Unit
+support in AArch64 Linux.
+
+
+Architecture overview
+---------------------
+
+The activity monitors extension is an optional extension introduced by the
+ARMv8.4 CPU architecture.
+
+The activity monitors unit, implemented in each CPU, provides performance
+counters intended for system management use. The AMU extension provides a
+system register interface to the counter registers and also supports an
+optional external memory-mapped interface.
+
+Version 1 of the Activity Monitors architecture implements a counter group
+of four fixed and architecturally defined 64-bit event counters.
+  - CPU cycle counter: increments at the frequency of the CPU.
+  - Constant counter: increments at the fixed frequency of the system
+    clock.
+  - Instructions retired: increments with every architecturally executed
+    instruction.
+  - Memory stall cycles: counts instruction dispatch stall cycles caused by
+    misses in the last level cache within the clock domain.
+
+When in WFI or WFE these counters do not increment.
+
+The Activity Monitors architecture provides space for up to 16 architected
+event counters. Future versions of the architecture may use this space to
+implement additional architected event counters.
+
+Additionally, version 1 implements a counter group of up to 16 auxiliary
+64-bit event counters.
+
+On cold reset all counters reset to 0.
+
+
+Basic support
+-------------
+
+The kernel can safely run a mix of CPUs with and without support for the
+activity monitors extension. Therefore, when CONFIG_ARM64_AMU_EXTN is
+selected we unconditionally enable the capability to allow any late CPU
+(secondary or hotplugged) to detect and use the feature.
+
+When the feature is detected on a CPU, we flag the availability of the
+feature but this does not guarantee the correct functionality of the
+counters, only the presence of the extension.
+
+Firmware (code running at higher exception levels, e.g. arm-tf) support is
+needed to:
+ - Enable access for lower exception levels (EL2 and EL1) to the AMU
+   registers.
+ - Enable the counters. If not enabled these will read as 0.
+ - Save/restore the counters before/after the CPU is being put/brought up
+   from the 'off' power state.
+
+When using kernels that have this feature enabled but boot with broken
+firmware the user may experience panics or lockups when accessing the
+counter registers. Even if these symptoms are not observed, the values
+returned by the register reads might not correctly reflect reality. Most
+commonly, the counters will read as 0, indicating that they are not
+enabled.
+
+If proper support is not provided in firmware it's best to disable
+CONFIG_ARM64_AMU_EXTN. To be noted that for security reasons, this does not
+bypass the setting of AMUSERENR_EL0 to trap accesses from EL0 (userspace) to
+EL1 (kernel). Therefore, firmware should still ensure accesses to AMU registers
+are not trapped in EL2/EL3.
+
+The fixed counters of AMUv1 are accessible though the following system
+register definitions:
+ - SYS_AMEVCNTR0_CORE_EL0
+ - SYS_AMEVCNTR0_CONST_EL0
+ - SYS_AMEVCNTR0_INST_RET_EL0
+ - SYS_AMEVCNTR0_MEM_STALL_EL0
+
+Auxiliary platform specific counters can be accessed using
+SYS_AMEVCNTR1_EL0(n), where n is a value between 0 and 15.
+
+Details can be found in: arch/arm64/include/asm/sysreg.h.
+
+
+Userspace access
+----------------
+
+Currently, access from userspace to the AMU registers is disabled due to:
+ - Security reasons: they might expose information about code executed in
+   secure mode.
+ - Purpose: AMU counters are intended for system management use.
+
+Also, the presence of the feature is not visible to userspace.
+
+
+Virtualization
+--------------
+
+Currently, access from userspace (EL0) and kernelspace (EL1) on the KVM
+guest side is disabled due to:
+ - Security reasons: they might expose information about code executed
+   by other guests or the host.
+
+Any attempt to access the AMU registers will result in an UNDEFINED
+exception being injected into the guest.

+================
+LSM BPF Programs
+================
+
+These BPF programs allow runtime instrumentation of the LSM hooks by privileged
+users to implement system-wide MAC (Mandatory Access Control) and Audit
+policies using eBPF.
+
+Structure
+---------
+
+The example shows an eBPF program that can be attached to the ``file_mprotect``
+LSM hook:
+
+.. c:function:: int file_mprotect(struct vm_area_struct *vma, unsigned long reqprot, unsigned long prot);
+
+Other LSM hooks which can be instrumented can be found in
+``include/linux/lsm_hooks.h``.
+
+eBPF programs that use :doc:`/bpf/btf` do not need to include kernel headers
+for accessing information from the attached eBPF program's context. They can
+simply declare the structures in the eBPF program and only specify the fields
+that need to be accessed.
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+	struct mm_struct {
+		unsigned long start_brk, brk, start_stack;
+	} __attribute__((preserve_access_index));
+
+	struct vm_area_struct {
+		unsigned long start_brk, brk, start_stack;
+		unsigned long vm_start, vm_end;
+		struct mm_struct *vm_mm;
+	} __attribute__((preserve_access_index));
+
+
+.. note:: The order of the fields is irrelevant.
+
+This can be further simplified (if one has access to the BTF information at
+build time) by generating the ``vmlinux.h`` with:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+	# bpftool btf dump file <path-to-btf-vmlinux> format c > vmlinux.h
+
+.. note:: ``path-to-btf-vmlinux`` can be ``/sys/kernel/btf/vmlinux`` if the
+	  build environment matches the environment the BPF programs are
+	  deployed in.
+
+The ``vmlinux.h`` can then simply be included in the BPF programs without
+requiring the definition of the types.
+
+The eBPF programs can be declared using the``BPF_PROG``
+macros defined in `tools/lib/bpf/bpf_tracing.h`_. In this
+example:
+
+	* ``"lsm/file_mprotect"`` indicates the LSM hook that the program must
+	  be attached to
+	* ``mprotect_audit`` is the name of the eBPF program
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+	SEC("lsm/file_mprotect")
+	int BPF_PROG(mprotect_audit, struct vm_area_struct *vma,
+		     unsigned long reqprot, unsigned long prot, int ret)
+	{
+		/* ret is the return value from the previous BPF program
+		 * or 0 if it's the first hook.
+		 */
+		if (ret != 0)
+			return ret;
+
+		int is_heap;
+
+		is_heap = (vma->vm_start >= vma->vm_mm->start_brk &&
+			   vma->vm_end <= vma->vm_mm->brk);
+
+		/* Return an -EPERM or write information to the perf events buffer
+		 * for auditing
+		 */
+		if (is_heap)
+			return -EPERM;
+	}
+
+The ``__attribute__((preserve_access_index))`` is a clang feature that allows
+the BPF verifier to update the offsets for the access at runtime using the
+:doc:`/bpf/btf` information. Since the BPF verifier is aware of the types, it
+also validates all the accesses made to the various types in the eBPF program.
+
+Loading
+-------
+
+eBPF programs can be loaded with the :manpage:`bpf(2)` syscall's
+``BPF_PROG_LOAD`` operation:
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+	struct bpf_object *obj;
+
+	obj = bpf_object__open("./my_prog.o");
+	bpf_object__load(obj);
+
+This can be simplified by using a skeleton header generated by ``bpftool``:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+	# bpftool gen skeleton my_prog.o > my_prog.skel.h
+
+and the program can be loaded by including ``my_prog.skel.h`` and using
+the generated helper, ``my_prog__open_and_load``.
+
+Attachment to LSM Hooks
+-----------------------
+
+The LSM allows attachment of eBPF programs as LSM hooks using :manpage:`bpf(2)`
+syscall's ``BPF_RAW_TRACEPOINT_OPEN`` operation or more simply by
+using the libbpf helper ``bpf_program__attach_lsm``.
+
+The program can be detached from the LSM hook by *destroying* the ``link``
+link returned by ``bpf_program__attach_lsm`` using ``bpf_link__destroy``.
+
+One can also use the helpers generated in ``my_prog.skel.h`` i.e.
+``my_prog__attach`` for attachment and ``my_prog__destroy`` for cleaning up.
+
+Examples
+--------
+
+An example eBPF program can be found in
+`tools/testing/selftests/bpf/progs/lsm.c`_ and the corresponding
+userspace code in `tools/testing/selftests/bpf/prog_tests/test_lsm.c`_

+
+drgn scripts is a convenient and easy to use mechanism to retrieve arbitrary

+the data based on DWARF debug information from vmlinux.

+bpf_inspect.py
+--------------
+
+Description
+===========
+
+`bpf_inspect.py`_ is a tool intended to inspect BPF programs and maps. It can
+iterate over all programs and maps in the system and print basic information
+about these objects, including id, type and name.
+
+The main use-case `bpf_inspect.py`_ covers is to show BPF programs of types
+``BPF_PROG_TYPE_EXT`` and ``BPF_PROG_TYPE_TRACING`` attached to other BPF
+programs via ``freplace``/``fentry``/``fexit`` mechanisms, since there is no
+user-space API to get this information.
+
+Getting started
+===============
+

+    % sudo bpf_inspect.py prog
+        27: BPF_PROG_TYPE_TRACEPOINT         tracepoint__tcp__tcp_send_reset
+      4632: BPF_PROG_TYPE_CGROUP_SOCK_ADDR   tw_ipt_bind
+     49464: BPF_PROG_TYPE_RAW_TRACEPOINT     raw_tracepoint__sched_process_exit
+
+List BPF maps::

+         655: BPF_PROG_TYPE_TRACING            test_subprog1                    linked:[650->29: BPF_TRAMP_FEXIT test_pkt_access->test_pkt_access_subprog1()]
+         656: BPF_PROG_TYPE_TRACING            test_subprog2                    linked:[650->31: BPF_TRAMP_FEXIT test_pkt_access->test_pkt_access_subprog2()]
+         657: BPF_PROG_TYPE_TRACING            test_subprog3                    linked:[650->21: BPF_TRAMP_FEXIT test_pkt_access->test_pkt_access_subprog3()]
+         658: BPF_PROG_TYPE_EXT                new_get_skb_len                  linked:[650->16: BPF_TRAMP_REPLACE test_pkt_access->get_skb_len()]
+         659: BPF_PROG_TYPE_EXT                new_get_skb_ifindex              linked:[650->23: BPF_TRAMP_REPLACE test_pkt_access->get_skb_ifindex()]
+         660: BPF_PROG_TYPE_EXT                new_get_constant                 linked:[650->19: BPF_TRAMP_REPLACE test_pkt_access->get_constant()]
+
+It can be seen that there is a program ``test_pkt_access``, id 650 and there
+are multiple other tracing and ext programs attached to functions in
+``test_pkt_access``.
+
+For example the line::
+
+         658: BPF_PROG_TYPE_EXT                new_get_skb_len                  linked:[650->16: BPF_TRAMP_REPLACE test_pkt_access->get_skb_len()]
+
+, means that BPF program id 658, type ``BPF_PROG_TYPE_EXT``, name
+``new_get_skb_len`` replaces (``BPF_TRAMP_REPLACE``) function ``get_skb_len()``
+that has BTF id 16 in BPF program id 650, name ``test_pkt_access``.

-GCC plugin infrastructure
-=========================
-
-
-Introduction
-============
-
-GCC plugins are loadable modules that provide extra features to the
-compiler [1]_. They are useful for runtime instrumentation and static analysis.
-We can analyse, change and add further code during compilation via
-callbacks [2]_, GIMPLE [3]_, IPA [4]_ and RTL passes [5]_.
-
-The GCC plugin infrastructure of the kernel supports all gcc versions from
-4.5 to 6.0, building out-of-tree modules, cross-compilation and building in a
-separate directory.
-Plugin source files have to be compilable by both a C and a C++ compiler as well
-because gcc versions 4.5 and 4.6 are compiled by a C compiler,
-gcc-4.7 can be compiled by a C or a C++ compiler,
-and versions 4.8+ can only be compiled by a C++ compiler.
-
-Currently the GCC plugin infrastructure supports only the x86, arm, arm64 and
-powerpc architectures.
-
-This infrastructure was ported from grsecurity [6]_ and PaX [7]_.

-Files
-=====
-
-**$(src)/scripts/gcc-plugins**
-
-	This is the directory of the GCC plugins.
-
-**$(src)/scripts/gcc-plugins/gcc-common.h**
-
-	This is a compatibility header for GCC plugins.
-	It should be always included instead of individual gcc headers.
-
-**$(src)/scripts/gcc-plugin.sh**
-
-	This script checks the availability of the included headers in
-	gcc-common.h and chooses the proper host compiler to build the plugins
-	(gcc-4.7 can be built by either gcc or g++).
-
-**$(src)/scripts/gcc-plugins/gcc-generate-gimple-pass.h,
-$(src)/scripts/gcc-plugins/gcc-generate-ipa-pass.h,
-$(src)/scripts/gcc-plugins/gcc-generate-simple_ipa-pass.h,
-$(src)/scripts/gcc-plugins/gcc-generate-rtl-pass.h**
-
-	These headers automatically generate the registration structures for
-	GIMPLE, SIMPLE_IPA, IPA and RTL passes. They support all gcc versions
-	from 4.5 to 6.0.
-	They should be preferred to creating the structures by hand.
-
-
-Usage
-=====
-
-You must install the gcc plugin headers for your gcc version,
-e.g., on Ubuntu for gcc-4.9::
-
-	apt-get install gcc-4.9-plugin-dev
-
-Enable a GCC plugin based feature in the kernel config::
-
-	CONFIG_GCC_PLUGIN_CYC_COMPLEXITY = y
-
-To compile only the plugin(s)::
-
-	make gcc-plugins
-
-or just run the kernel make and compile the whole kernel with
-the cyclomatic complexity GCC plugin.
-
-
-4. How to add a new GCC plugin
-==============================
-
-The GCC plugins are in $(src)/scripts/gcc-plugins/. You can use a file or a directory
-here. It must be added to $(src)/scripts/gcc-plugins/Makefile,
-$(src)/scripts/Makefile.gcc-plugins and $(src)/arch/Kconfig.
-See the cyc_complexity_plugin.c (CONFIG_GCC_PLUGIN_CYC_COMPLEXITY) GCC plugin.

+   3.  CPUFreq Table Generation with Operating Performance Point (OPP)
+
+1. General Information
+======================
+
+The CPUFreq core code is located in drivers/cpufreq/cpufreq.c. This
+cpufreq code offers a standardized interface for the CPUFreq
+architecture drivers (those pieces of code that do actual
+frequency transitions), as well as to "notifiers". These are device
+drivers or other part of the kernel that need to be informed of
+policy changes (ex. thermal modules like ACPI) or of all
+frequency changes (ex. timing code) or even need to force certain
+speed limits (like LCD drivers on ARM architecture). Additionally, the
+kernel "constant" loops_per_jiffy is updated on frequency changes
+here.
+
+Reference counting of the cpufreq policies is done by cpufreq_cpu_get
+and cpufreq_cpu_put, which make sure that the cpufreq driver is
+correctly registered with the core, and will not be unloaded until
+cpufreq_put_cpu is called. That also ensures that the respective cpufreq
+policy doesn't get freed while being used.
+
+2. CPUFreq notifiers
+====================
+
+CPUFreq notifiers conform to the standard kernel notifier interface.
+See linux/include/linux/notifier.h for details on notifiers.
+
+There are two different CPUFreq notifiers - policy notifiers and
+transition notifiers.
+
+
+2.1 CPUFreq policy notifiers
+----------------------------
+
+These are notified when a new policy is created or removed.
+
+The phase is specified in the second argument to the notifier.  The phase is
+CPUFREQ_CREATE_POLICY when the policy is first created and it is
+CPUFREQ_REMOVE_POLICY when the policy is removed.
+
+The third argument, a ``void *pointer``, points to a struct cpufreq_policy
+consisting of several values, including min, max (the lower and upper
+frequencies (in kHz) of the new policy).
+
+
+2.2 CPUFreq transition notifiers
+--------------------------------
+
+These are notified twice for each online CPU in the policy, when the
+CPUfreq driver switches the CPU core frequency and this change has no
+any external implications.
+
+The second argument specifies the phase - CPUFREQ_PRECHANGE or
+CPUFREQ_POSTCHANGE.
+
+The third argument is a struct cpufreq_freqs with the following
+values:
+
+=====	===========================
+cpu	number of the affected CPU
+old	old frequency
+new	new frequency
+flags	flags of the cpufreq driver
+=====	===========================
+

-The cpufreq-nforce2 driver changes the FSB on nVidia nForce2 platforms.
-
-This works better than on other platforms, because the FSB of the CPU
-can be controlled independently from the PCI/AGP clock.
-
-The module has two options:
-
-	fid: 	 multiplier * 10 (for example 8.5 = 85)
-	min_fsb: minimum FSB
-
-If not set, fid is calculated from the current CPU speed and the FSB.
-min_fsb defaults to FSB at boot time - 50 MHz.
-
-IMPORTANT: The available range is limited downwards!
-           Also the minimum available FSB can differ, for systems 
-           booting with 200 MHz, 150 should always work.
