Each text file under Documentation follows a different format. Some doesn't even have titles! Change its representation to follow the adopted standard, using ReST markups for it to be parseable by Sphinx: - Mark and adjust titles; - Mark and indent literal blocks.

Undo a feature introduced in v3.14 by commit fcd46b34 "firewire: Enable remote DMA above 4 GB". That change raised the minimum address at which protocol drivers and user programs can register for request reception from 0x0001'0000'0000 to 0x8000'0000'0000. It turned out that at least one vendor-specific protocol exists which uses lower addresses: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=76921 For the time being, revert most of commit fcd46b34 so that affected protocols work like with kernel v3.13 and before. Just keep the valid documentation parts from the regressing commit, and the ability to identify controllers which could be programmed to accept >32 bit physical DMA addresses. The rest of fcd46b34 should probably be brought back as an optional instead of default feature.

This makes all of a machine's memory accessible to remote debugging via FireWire, using the physical response unit (i.e. RDMA) of OHCI-1394 link layer controllers. This requires actual support by the controller. The only ones currently known to support it are Agere/LSI FW643. Most if not all other OHCI-1394 controllers do not implement the optional Physical Upper Bound register. With them, RDMA will continue to be limited to the lowermost 4 GB. firewire-ohci's startup message in the kernel log is augmented to tell whether the controller does expose more than 4 GB to RDMA. While OHCI-1394 allows for a maximum Physical Upper Bound of 0xffff'0000'0000 (near 256 TB), this implementation sets it to 0x8000'0000'0000 (128 TB) in order to avoid interference with applications that require interrupt-served asynchronous request reception at respectively low addresses. Note, this change does not switch remote DMA on. It only increases the range of remote access to all memory (instead of just 4 GB) whenever remote DMA was switched on by other means. The latter is achieved by setting firewire-ohci's remote_dma parameter, or if the physical DMA filter is opened through firewire-sbp2.

Update URLs of the userspace tools to use ohci1394_dma=early for debugging. Seems the address ftp://ftp.suse.de/private/bk/firewire/tools/* is not very helpful.

This patch adds a new configuration option, which adds support for a new early_param which gets checked in arch/x86/kernel/setup_{32,64}.c:setup_arch() to decide wether OHCI-1394 FireWire controllers should be initialized and enabled for physical DMA access to allow remote debugging of early problems like issues ACPI or other subsystems which are executed very early. If the config option is not enabled, no code is changed, and if the boot paramenter is not given, no new code is executed, and independent of that, all new code is freed after boot, so the config option can be even enabled in standard, non-debug kernels. With specialized tools, it is then possible to get debugging information from machines which have no serial ports (notebooks) such as the printk buffer contents, or any data which can be referenced from global pointers, if it is stored below the 4GB limit and even memory dumps of of the physical RAM region below the 4GB limit can be taken without any cooperation from the CPU of the host, so the machine can be crashed early, it does not matter. In the extreme, even kernel debuggers can be accessed in this way. I wrote a small kgdb module and an accompanying gdb stub for FireWire which allows to gdb to talk to kgdb using remote remory reads and writes over FireWire. An version of the gdb stub fore FireWire is able to read all global data from a system which is running a a normal kernel without any kernel debugger, without any interruption or support of the system's CPU. That way, e.g. the task struct and so on can be read and even manipulated when the physical DMA access is granted. A HOWTO is included in this patch, in Documentation/debugging-via-ohci1394.txt and I've put a copy online at ftp://ftp.suse.de/private/bk/firewire/docs/debugging-via-ohci1394.txt It also has links to all the tools which are available to make use of it another copy of it is online at: ftp://ftp.suse.de/private/bk/firewire/kernel/ohci1394_dma_early-v2.diffSigned-Off-By: NBernhard Kaindl <bk@suse.de> Tested-By: NThomas Renninger <trenn@suse.de> Signed-off-by: NIngo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Signed-off-by: NThomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de>
