+The maintainers of the various kernel subsystems --- and also many
+kernel subsystem developers --- expose their current state of
+development in source repositories.  That way, others can see what is
+happening in the different areas of the kernel.  In areas where
+development is rapid, a developer may be asked to base his submissions
+onto such a subsystem kernel tree so that conflicts between the
+submission and other already ongoing work are avoided.
+
+Most of these repositories are git trees, but there are also other SCMs
+in use, or patch queues being published as quilt series.  Addresses of
+these subsystem repositories are listed in the MAINTAINERS file.  Many
+of them can be browsed at http://git.kernel.org/.
+
+Before a proposed patch is committed to such a subsystem tree, it is
+subject to review which primarily happens on mailing lists (see the
+respective section below).  For several kernel subsystems, this review
+process is tracked with the tool patchwork.  Patchwork offers a web
+interface which shows patch postings, any comments on a patch or
+revisions to it, and maintainers can mark patches as under review,
+accepted, or rejected.  Most of these patchwork sites are listed at
+http://patchwork.kernel.org/ or http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/.
+
+2.6.x -next kernel tree for integration tests
+---------------------------------------------
+Before updates from subsystem trees are merged into the mainline 2.6.x
+tree, they need to be integration-tested.  For this purpose, a special
+testing repository exists into which virtually all subsystem trees are
+pulled on an almost daily basis:
+	http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/sfr/linux-next.git
+	http://linux.f-seidel.de/linux-next/pmwiki/
+
+This way, the -next kernel gives a summary outlook onto what will be
+expected to go into the mainline kernel at the next merge period.
+Adventurous testers are very welcome to runtime-test the -next kernel.
 
-  Other kernel trees can be found listed at http://git.kernel.org/ and in
-  the MAINTAINERS file.

+		Samsung ARM Linux Overview
+		==========================
+
+Introduction
+------------
+
+  The Samsung range of ARM SoCs spans many similar devices, from the initial
+  ARM9 through to the newest ARM cores. This document shows an overview of
+  the current kernel support, how to use it and where to find the code
+  that supports this.
+
+  The currently supported SoCs are:
+
+  - S3C24XX: See Documentation/arm/Samsung-S3C24XX/Overview.txt for full list
+  - S3C64XX: S3C6400 and S3C6410
+  - S5PC6440
+
+  S5PC100 and S5PC110 support is currently being merged
+
+
+S3C24XX Systems
+---------------
+
+  There is still documentation in Documnetation/arm/Samsung-S3C24XX/ which
+  deals with the architecture and drivers specific to these devices.
+
+  See Documentation/arm/Samsung-S3C24XX/Overview.txt for more information
+  on the implementation details and specific support.
+
+
+Configuration
+-------------
+
+  A number of configurations are supplied, as there is no current way of
+  unifying all the SoCs into one kernel.
+
+  s5p6440_defconfig - S5P6440 specific default configuration
+  s5pc100_defconfig - S5PC100 specific default configuration
+
+
+Layout
+------
+
+  The directory layout is currently being restructured, and consists of
+  several platform directories and then the machine specific directories
+  of the CPUs being built for.
+
+  plat-samsung provides the base for all the implementations, and is the
+  last in the line of include directories that are processed for the build
+  specific information. It contains the base clock, GPIO and device definitions
+  to get the system running.
+
+  plat-s3c is the s3c24xx/s3c64xx platform directory, although it is currently
+  involved in other builds this will be phased out once the relevant code is
+  moved elsewhere.
+
+  plat-s3c24xx is for s3c24xx specific builds, see the S3C24XX docs.
+
+  plat-s3c64xx is for the s3c64xx specific bits, see the S3C24XX docs.
+
+  plat-s5p is for s5p specific builds, more to be added.

+
+By: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com>
+    Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com>
+
+
+Linux provides a number of features that can be used to implement circular
+buffering.  There are two sets of such features:
+
+ (1) Convenience functions for determining information about power-of-2 sized
+     buffers.
+
+ (2) Memory barriers for when the producer and the consumer of objects in the
+     buffer don't want to share a lock.
+
+To use these facilities, as discussed below, there needs to be just one
+producer and just one consumer.  It is possible to handle multiple producers by
+serialising them, and to handle multiple consumers by serialising them.
+
+
+Contents:
+
+ (*) What is a circular buffer?
+
+ (*) Measuring power-of-2 buffers.
+
+ (*) Using memory barriers with circular buffers.
+     - The producer.
+     - The consumer.
+
+
+==========================
+WHAT IS A CIRCULAR BUFFER?
+==========================
+
+First of all, what is a circular buffer?  A circular buffer is a buffer of
+fixed, finite size into which there are two indices:
+
+ (1) A 'head' index - the point at which the producer inserts items into the
+     buffer.
+
+ (2) A 'tail' index - the point at which the consumer finds the next item in
+     the buffer.
+
+Typically when the tail pointer is equal to the head pointer, the buffer is
+empty; and the buffer is full when the head pointer is one less than the tail
+pointer.
+
+The head index is incremented when items are added, and the tail index when
+items are removed.  The tail index should never jump the head index, and both
+indices should be wrapped to 0 when they reach the end of the buffer, thus
+allowing an infinite amount of data to flow through the buffer.
+
+Typically, items will all be of the same unit size, but this isn't strictly
+required to use the techniques below.  The indices can be increased by more
+than 1 if multiple items or variable-sized items are to be included in the
+buffer, provided that neither index overtakes the other.  The implementer must
+be careful, however, as a region more than one unit in size may wrap the end of
+the buffer and be broken into two segments.
+
+
+============================
+MEASURING POWER-OF-2 BUFFERS
+============================
+
+Calculation of the occupancy or the remaining capacity of an arbitrarily sized
+circular buffer would normally be a slow operation, requiring the use of a
+modulus (divide) instruction.  However, if the buffer is of a power-of-2 size,
+then a much quicker bitwise-AND instruction can be used instead.
+
+Linux provides a set of macros for handling power-of-2 circular buffers.  These
+can be made use of by:
+
+	#include <linux/circ_buf.h>
+
+The macros are:
+
+ (*) Measure the remaining capacity of a buffer:
+
+	CIRC_SPACE(head_index, tail_index, buffer_size);
+
+     This returns the amount of space left in the buffer[1] into which items
+     can be inserted.
+
+
+ (*) Measure the maximum consecutive immediate space in a buffer:
+
+	CIRC_SPACE_TO_END(head_index, tail_index, buffer_size);
+
+     This returns the amount of consecutive space left in the buffer[1] into
+     which items can be immediately inserted without having to wrap back to the
+     beginning of the buffer.
+
+
+ (*) Measure the occupancy of a buffer:
+
+	CIRC_CNT(head_index, tail_index, buffer_size);
+
+     This returns the number of items currently occupying a buffer[2].
+
+
+ (*) Measure the non-wrapping occupancy of a buffer:
+
+	CIRC_CNT_TO_END(head_index, tail_index, buffer_size);
+
+     This returns the number of consecutive items[2] that can be extracted from
+     the buffer without having to wrap back to the beginning of the buffer.
+
+
+Each of these macros will nominally return a value between 0 and buffer_size-1,
+however:
+
+ [1] CIRC_SPACE*() are intended to be used in the producer.  To the producer
+     they will return a lower bound as the producer controls the head index,
+     but the consumer may still be depleting the buffer on another CPU and
+     moving the tail index.
+
+     To the consumer it will show an upper bound as the producer may be busy

+
+ [2] CIRC_CNT*() are intended to be used in the consumer.  To the consumer they
+     will return a lower bound as the consumer controls the tail index, but the
+     producer may still be filling the buffer on another CPU and moving the
+     head index.
+
+     To the producer it will show an upper bound as the consumer may be busy
+     emptying the buffer.
+
+ [3] To a third party, the order in which the writes to the indices by the
+     producer and consumer become visible cannot be guaranteed as they are
+     independent and may be made on different CPUs - so the result in such a
+     situation will merely be a guess, and may even be negative.
+
+
+===========================================
+USING MEMORY BARRIERS WITH CIRCULAR BUFFERS
+===========================================
+
+By using memory barriers in conjunction with circular buffers, you can avoid
+the need to:
+
+ (1) use a single lock to govern access to both ends of the buffer, thus
+     allowing the buffer to be filled and emptied at the same time; and
+
+ (2) use atomic counter operations.
+
+There are two sides to this: the producer that fills the buffer, and the
+consumer that empties it.  Only one thing should be filling a buffer at any one
+time, and only one thing should be emptying a buffer at any one time, but the
+two sides can operate simultaneously.
+
+
+THE PRODUCER
+------------
+
+The producer will look something like this:
+
+	spin_lock(&producer_lock);
+
+	unsigned long head = buffer->head;
+	unsigned long tail = ACCESS_ONCE(buffer->tail);
+
+	if (CIRC_SPACE(head, tail, buffer->size) >= 1) {
+		/* insert one item into the buffer */
+		struct item *item = buffer[head];
+
+		produce_item(item);
+
+		smp_wmb(); /* commit the item before incrementing the head */
+
+		buffer->head = (head + 1) & (buffer->size - 1);
+
+		/* wake_up() will make sure that the head is committed before
+		 * waking anyone up */
+		wake_up(consumer);
+	}
+
+	spin_unlock(&producer_lock);
+
+This will instruct the CPU that the contents of the new item must be written
+before the head index makes it available to the consumer and then instructs the
+CPU that the revised head index must be written before the consumer is woken.
+
+Note that wake_up() doesn't have to be the exact mechanism used, but whatever
+is used must guarantee a (write) memory barrier between the update of the head
+index and the change of state of the consumer, if a change of state occurs.
+
+
+THE CONSUMER
+------------
+
+The consumer will look something like this:
+
+	spin_lock(&consumer_lock);
+
+	unsigned long head = ACCESS_ONCE(buffer->head);
+	unsigned long tail = buffer->tail;
+
+	if (CIRC_CNT(head, tail, buffer->size) >= 1) {
+		/* read index before reading contents at that index */
+		smp_read_barrier_depends();
+
+		/* extract one item from the buffer */
+		struct item *item = buffer[tail];
+
+		consume_item(item);
+
+		smp_mb(); /* finish reading descriptor before incrementing tail */
+
+		buffer->tail = (tail + 1) & (buffer->size - 1);
+	}
+
+	spin_unlock(&consumer_lock);
+
+This will instruct the CPU to make sure the index is up to date before reading
+the new item, and then it shall make sure the CPU has finished reading the item
+before it writes the new tail pointer, which will erase the item.
+
+
+Note the use of ACCESS_ONCE() in both algorithms to read the opposition index.
+This prevents the compiler from discarding and reloading its cached value -
+which some compilers will do across smp_read_barrier_depends().  This isn't
+strictly needed if you can be sure that the opposition index will _only_ be
+used the once.

+
+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:
+http://www.acpica.org/download/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.

+Ceph Distributed File System
+============================
+
+Ceph is a distributed network file system designed to provide good
+performance, reliability, and scalability.
+
+Basic features include:
+
+ * POSIX semantics
+ * Seamless scaling from 1 to many thousands of nodes
+ * High availability and reliability.  No single point of failure.
+ * N-way replication of data across storage nodes
+ * Fast recovery from node failures
+ * Automatic rebalancing of data on node addition/removal
+ * Easy deployment: most FS components are userspace daemons
+
+Also,
+ * Flexible snapshots (on any directory)
+ * Recursive accounting (nested files, directories, bytes)
+
+In contrast to cluster filesystems like GFS, OCFS2, and GPFS that rely
+on symmetric access by all clients to shared block devices, Ceph
+separates data and metadata management into independent server
+clusters, similar to Lustre.  Unlike Lustre, however, metadata and
+storage nodes run entirely as user space daemons.  Storage nodes
+utilize btrfs to store data objects, leveraging its advanced features
+(checksumming, metadata replication, etc.).  File data is striped
+across storage nodes in large chunks to distribute workload and
+facilitate high throughputs.  When storage nodes fail, data is
+re-replicated in a distributed fashion by the storage nodes themselves
+(with some minimal coordination from a cluster monitor), making the
+system extremely efficient and scalable.
+
+Metadata servers effectively form a large, consistent, distributed
+in-memory cache above the file namespace that is extremely scalable,
+dynamically redistributes metadata in response to workload changes,
+and can tolerate arbitrary (well, non-Byzantine) node failures.  The
+metadata server takes a somewhat unconventional approach to metadata
+storage to significantly improve performance for common workloads.  In
+particular, inodes with only a single link are embedded in
+directories, allowing entire directories of dentries and inodes to be
+loaded into its cache with a single I/O operation.  The contents of
+extremely large directories can be fragmented and managed by
+independent metadata servers, allowing scalable concurrent access.
+
+The system offers automatic data rebalancing/migration when scaling
+from a small cluster of just a few nodes to many hundreds, without
+requiring an administrator carve the data set into static volumes or
+go through the tedious process of migrating data between servers.
+When the file system approaches full, new nodes can be easily added
+and things will "just work."
+
+Ceph includes flexible snapshot mechanism that allows a user to create
+a snapshot on any subdirectory (and its nested contents) in the
+system.  Snapshot creation and deletion are as simple as 'mkdir
+.snap/foo' and 'rmdir .snap/foo'.
+
+Ceph also provides some recursive accounting on directories for nested
+files and bytes.  That is, a 'getfattr -d foo' on any directory in the
+system will reveal the total number of nested regular files and
+subdirectories, and a summation of all nested file sizes.  This makes
+the identification of large disk space consumers relatively quick, as
+no 'du' or similar recursive scan of the file system is required.
+
+
+Mount Syntax
+============
+
+The basic mount syntax is:
+
+ # mount -t ceph monip[:port][,monip2[:port]...]:/[subdir] mnt
+
+You only need to specify a single monitor, as the client will get the
+full list when it connects.  (However, if the monitor you specify
+happens to be down, the mount won't succeed.)  The port can be left
+off if the monitor is using the default.  So if the monitor is at
+1.2.3.4,
+
+ # mount -t ceph 1.2.3.4:/ /mnt/ceph
+
+is sufficient.  If /sbin/mount.ceph is installed, a hostname can be
+used instead of an IP address.
+
+
+
+Mount Options
+=============
+
+  ip=A.B.C.D[:N]
+	Specify the IP and/or port the client should bind to locally.
+	There is normally not much reason to do this.  If the IP is not
+	specified, the client's IP address is determined by looking at the
+	address it's connection to the monitor originates from.
+
+  wsize=X
+	Specify the maximum write size in bytes.  By default there is no
+	maximum.  Ceph will normally size writes based on the file stripe
+	size.
+
+  rsize=X
+	Specify the maximum readahead.
+
+  mount_timeout=X
+	Specify the timeout value for mount (in seconds), in the case
+	of a non-responsive Ceph file system.  The default is 30
+	seconds.
+
+  rbytes
+	When stat() is called on a directory, set st_size to 'rbytes',
+	the summation of file sizes over all files nested beneath that
+	directory.  This is the default.
+
+  norbytes
+	When stat() is called on a directory, set st_size to the
+	number of entries in that directory.
+
+  nocrc
+	Disable CRC32C calculation for data writes.  If set, the storage node
+	must rely on TCP's error correction to detect data corruption
+	in the data payload.
+
+  noasyncreaddir
+	Disable client's use its local cache to satisfy	readdir
+	requests.  (This does not change correctness; the client uses
+	cached metadata only when a lease or capability ensures it is
+	valid.)

Documentation/filesystems/logfs.txt

+
+The LogFS Flash Filesystem
+==========================
+
+Specification
+=============
+
+Superblocks
+-----------
+
+Two superblocks exist at the beginning and end of the filesystem.
+Each superblock is 256 Bytes large, with another 3840 Bytes reserved
+for future purposes, making a total of 4096 Bytes.
+
+Superblock locations may differ for MTD and block devices.  On MTD the
+first non-bad block contains a superblock in the first 4096 Bytes and
+the last non-bad block contains a superblock in the last 4096 Bytes.
+On block devices, the first 4096 Bytes of the device contain the first
+superblock and the last aligned 4096 Byte-block contains the second
+superblock.
+
+For the most part, the superblocks can be considered read-only.  They
+are written only to correct errors detected within the superblocks,
+move the journal and change the filesystem parameters through tunefs.
+As a result, the superblock does not contain any fields that require
+constant updates, like the amount of free space, etc.
+
+Segments
+--------
+
+The space in the device is split up into equal-sized segments.
+Segments are the primary write unit of LogFS.  Within each segments,
+writes happen from front (low addresses) to back (high addresses.  If
+only a partial segment has been written, the segment number, the
+current position within and optionally a write buffer are stored in
+the journal.
+
+Segments are erased as a whole.  Therefore Garbage Collection may be
+required to completely free a segment before doing so.
+
+Journal
+--------
+
+The journal contains all global information about the filesystem that
+is subject to frequent change.  At mount time, it has to be scanned
+for the most recent commit entry, which contains a list of pointers to
+all currently valid entries.
+
+Object Store
+------------
+
+All space except for the superblocks and journal is part of the object
+store.  Each segment contains a segment header and a number of
+objects, each consisting of the object header and the payload.
+Objects are either inodes, directory entries (dentries), file data
+blocks or indirect blocks.
+
+Levels
+------
+
+Garbage collection (GC) may fail if all data is written
+indiscriminately.  One requirement of GC is that data is seperated
+roughly according to the distance between the tree root and the data.
+Effectively that means all file data is on level 0, indirect blocks
+are on levels 1, 2, 3 4 or 5 for 1x, 2x, 3x, 4x or 5x indirect blocks,
+respectively.  Inode file data is on level 6 for the inodes and 7-11
+for indirect blocks.
+
+Each segment contains objects of a single level only.  As a result,
+each level requires its own seperate segment to be open for writing.
+
+Inode File
+----------
+
+All inodes are stored in a special file, the inode file.  Single
+exception is the inode file's inode (master inode) which for obvious
+reasons is stored in the journal instead.  Instead of data blocks, the
+leaf nodes of the inode files are inodes.
+
+Aliases
+-------
+
+Writes in LogFS are done by means of a wandering tree.  A naïve
+implementation would require that for each write or a block, all
+parent blocks are written as well, since the block pointers have
+changed.  Such an implementation would not be very efficient.
+
+In LogFS, the block pointer changes are cached in the journal by means
+of alias entries.  Each alias consists of its logical address - inode
+number, block index, level and child number (index into block) - and
+the changed data.  Any 8-byte word can be changes in this manner.
+
+Currently aliases are used for block pointers, file size, file used
+bytes and the height of an inodes indirect tree.
+
+Segment Aliases
+---------------
+
+Related to regular aliases, these are used to handle bad blocks.
+Initially, bad blocks are handled by moving the affected segment
+content to a spare segment and noting this move in the journal with a
+segment alias, a simple (to, from) tupel.  GC will later empty this
+segment and the alias can be removed again.  This is used on MTD only.
+
+Vim
+---
+
+By cleverly predicting the life time of data, it is possible to
+seperate long-living data from short-living data and thereby reduce
+the GC overhead later.  Each type of distinc life expectency (vim) can
+have a seperate segment open for writing.  Each (level, vim) tupel can
+be open just once.  If an open segment with unknown vim is encountered
+at mount time, it is closed and ignored henceforth.
+
+Indirect Tree
+-------------
+
+Inodes in LogFS are similar to FFS-style filesystems with direct and
+indirect block pointers.  One difference is that LogFS uses a single
+indirect pointer that can be either a 1x, 2x, etc. indirect pointer.
+A height field in the inode defines the height of the indirect tree
+and thereby the indirection of the pointer.
+
+Another difference is the addressing of indirect blocks.  In LogFS,
+the first 16 pointers in the first indirect block are left empty,
+corresponding to the 16 direct pointers in the inode.  In ext2 (maybe
+others as well) the first pointer in the first indirect block
+corresponds to logical block 12, skipping the 12 direct pointers.
+So where ext2 is using arithmetic to better utilize space, LogFS keeps
+arithmetic simple and uses compression to save space.
+
+Compression
+-----------
+
+Both file data and metadata can be compressed.  Compression for file
+data can be enabled with chattr +c and disabled with chattr -c.  Doing
+so has no effect on existing data, but new data will be stored
+accordingly.  New inodes will inherit the compression flag of the
+parent directory.
+
+Metadata is always compressed.  However, the space accounting ignores
+this and charges for the uncompressed size.  Failing to do so could
+result in GC failures when, after moving some data, indirect blocks
+compress worse than previously.  Even on a 100% full medium, GC may
+not consume any extra space, so the compression gains are lost space
+to the user.
+
+However, they are not lost space to the filesystem internals.  By
+cheating the user for those bytes, the filesystem gained some slack
+space and GC will run less often and faster.
+
+Garbage Collection and Wear Leveling
+------------------------------------
+
+Garbage collection is invoked whenever the number of free segments
+falls below a threshold.  The best (known) candidate is picked based
+on the least amount of valid data contained in the segment.  All
+remaining valid data is copied elsewhere, thereby invalidating it.
+
+The GC code also checks for aliases and writes then back if their
+number gets too large.
+
+Wear leveling is done by occasionally picking a suboptimal segment for
+garbage collection.  If a stale segments erase count is significantly
+lower than the active segments' erase counts, it will be picked.  Wear
+leveling is rate limited, so it will never monopolize the device for
+more than one segment worth at a time.
+
+Values for "occasionally", "significantly lower" are compile time
+constants.
+
+Hashed directories
+------------------
+
+To satisfy efficient lookup(), directory entries are hashed and
+located based on the hash.  In order to both support large directories
+and not be overly inefficient for small directories, several hash
+tables of increasing size are used.  For each table, the hash value
+modulo the table size gives the table index.
+
+Tables sizes are chosen to limit the number of indirect blocks with a
+fully populated table to 0, 1, 2 or 3 respectively.  So the first
+table contains 16 entries, the second 512-16, etc.
+
+The last table is special in several ways.  First its size depends on
+the effective 32bit limit on telldir/seekdir cookies.  Since logfs
+uses the upper half of the address space for indirect blocks, the size
+is limited to 2^31.  Secondly the table contains hash buckets with 16
+entries each.
+
+Using single-entry buckets would result in birthday "attacks".  At
+just 2^16 used entries, hash collisions would be likely (P >= 0.5).
+My math skills are insufficient to do the combinatorics for the 17x
+collisions necessary to overflow a bucket, but testing showed that in
+10,000 runs the lowest directory fill before a bucket overflow was
+188,057,130 entries with an average of 315,149,915 entries.  So for
+directory sizes of up to a million, bucket overflows should be
+virtually impossible under normal circumstances.
+
+With carefully chosen filenames, it is obviously possible to cause an
+overflow with just 21 entries (4 higher tables + 16 entries + 1).  So
+there may be a security concern if a malicious user has write access
+to a directory.
+
+Open For Discussion
+===================
+
+Device Address Space
+--------------------
+
+A device address space is used for caching.  Both block devices and
+MTD provide functions to either read a single page or write a segment.
+Partial segments may be written for data integrity, but where possible
+complete segments are written for performance on simple block device
+flash media.
+
+Meta Inodes
+-----------
+
+Inodes are stored in the inode file, which is just a regular file for
+most purposes.  At umount time, however, the inode file needs to
+remain open until all dirty inodes are written.  So
+generic_shutdown_super() may not close this inode, but shouldn't
+complain about remaining inodes due to the inode file either.  Same
+goes for mapping inode of the device address space.
+
+Currently logfs uses a hack that essentially copies part of fs/inode.c
+code over.  A general solution would be preferred.
+
+Indirect block mapping
+----------------------
+
+With compression, the block device (or mapping inode) cannot be used
+to cache indirect blocks.  Some other place is required.  Currently
+logfs uses the top half of each inode's address space.  The low 8TB
+(on 32bit) are filled with file data, the high 8TB are used for
+indirect blocks.
+
+One problem is that 16TB files created on 64bit systems actually have
+data in the top 8TB.  But files >16TB would cause problems anyway, so
+only the limit has changed.

+Fragmentation avoidance in the kernel works by grouping pages of different
+migrate types into the same contiguous regions of memory called page blocks.
+A page block is typically the size of the default hugepage size e.g. 2MB on
+X86-64. By keeping pages grouped based on their ability to move, the kernel
+can reclaim pages within a page block to satisfy a high-order allocation.
+
+The pagetypinfo begins with information on the size of a page block. It
+then gives the same type of information as buddyinfo except broken down
+by migrate-type and finishes with details on how many page blocks of each
+type exist.
+
+If min_free_kbytes has been tuned correctly (recommendations made by hugeadm
+from libhugetlbfs http://sourceforge.net/projects/libhugetlbfs/), one can
+make an estimate of the likely number of huge pages that can be allocated
+at a given point in time. All the "Movable" blocks should be allocatable
+unless memory has been mlock()'d. Some of the Reclaimable blocks should
+also be allocatable although a lot of filesystem metadata may have to be
+reclaimed to achieve this.

+Description
+-----------
+
+This driver implements support for the Analog Devices ADT7411 chip. There may
+be other chips that implement this interface.
+
+The ADT7411 can use an I2C/SMBus compatible 2-wire interface or an
+SPI-compatible 4-wire interface. It provides a 10-bit analog to digital
+converter which measures 1 temperature, vdd and 8 input voltages. It has an
+internal temperature sensor, but an external one can also be connected (one
+loses 2 inputs then). There are high- and low-limit registers for all inputs.
+
+Check the datasheet for details.

-    Addresses scanned: I2C 0x2C, 0x2D, 0x2E
-    Datasheet: Publicly available at the Analog Devices website
-
-Author: Darrick J. Wong
-
-This driver is depreacted, please use the adt7475 driver instead.
-
-Description
------------
-
-This driver implements support for the Analog Devices ADT7473 chip family.
-
-The ADT7473 uses the 2-wire interface compatible with the SMBUS 2.0
-specification. Using an analog to digital converter it measures three (3)
-temperatures and two (2) voltages. It has four (4) 16-bit counters for
-measuring fan speed. There are three (3) PWM outputs that can be used
-to control fan speed.
-
-A sophisticated control system for the PWM outputs is designed into the
-ADT7473 that allows fan speed to be adjusted automatically based on any of the
-three temperature sensors. Each PWM output is individually adjustable and
-programmable. Once configured, the ADT7473 will adjust the PWM outputs in
-response to the measured temperatures without further host intervention.
-This feature can also be disabled for manual control of the PWM's.
-
-Each of the measured inputs (voltage, temperature, fan speed) has
-corresponding high/low limit values. The ADT7473 will signal an ALARM if
-any measured value exceeds either limit.
-
-The ADT7473 samples all inputs continuously. The driver will not read
-the registers more often than once every other second. Further,
-configuration data is only read once per minute.
-
-Special Features
-----------------
-
-The ADT7473 have a 10-bit ADC and can therefore measure temperatures
-with 0.25 degC resolution. Temperature readings can be configured either
-for twos complement format or "Offset 64" format, wherein 63 is subtracted
-from the raw value to get the temperature value.
-
-The Analog Devices datasheet is very detailed and describes a procedure for
-determining an optimal configuration for the automatic PWM control.
-
-Configuration Notes
--------------------
-
-Besides standard interfaces driver adds the following:
-
-* PWM Control
-
-* pwm#_auto_point1_pwm and temp#_auto_point1_temp and
-* pwm#_auto_point2_pwm and temp#_auto_point2_temp -
-
-point1: Set the pwm speed at a lower temperature bound.
-point2: Set the pwm speed at a higher temperature bound.
-
-The ADT7473 will scale the pwm between the lower and higher pwm speed when
-the temperature is between the two temperature boundaries.  PWM values range
-from 0 (off) to 255 (full speed).  Fan speed will be set to maximum when the
-temperature sensor associated with the PWM control exceeds temp#_max.
-
-Notes
------
-
-The NVIDIA binary driver presents an ADT7473 chip via an on-card i2c bus.
-Unfortunately, they fail to set the i2c adapter class, so this driver may
-fail to find the chip until the nvidia driver is patched.

+Kernel driver asc7621
+==================
+
+Supported chips:
+    Andigilog aSC7621 and aSC7621a
+    Prefix: 'asc7621'
+    Addresses scanned: I2C 0x2c, 0x2d, 0x2e
+    Datasheet: http://www.fairview5.com/linux/asc7621/asc7621.pdf
+
+Author:
+		George Joseph
+
+Description provided by Dave Pivin @ Andigilog:
+
+Andigilog has both the PECI and pre-PECI versions of the Heceta-6, as
+Intel calls them. Heceta-6e has high frequency PWM and Heceta-6p has
+added PECI and a 4th thermal zone. The Andigilog aSC7611 is the
+Heceta-6e part and aSC7621 is the Heceta-6p part. They are both in
+volume production, shipping to Intel and their subs.
+
+We have enhanced both parts relative to the governing Intel
+specification. First enhancement is temperature reading resolution. We
+have used registers below 20h for vendor-specific functions in addition
+to those in the Intel-specified vendor range.
+
+Our conversion process produces a result that is reported as two bytes.
+The fan speed control uses this finer value to produce a "step-less" fan
+PWM output. These two bytes are "read-locked" to guarantee that once a
+high or low byte is read, the other byte is locked-in until after the
+next read of any register. So to get an atomic reading, read high or low
+byte, then the very next read should be the opposite byte. Our data
+sheet says 10-bits of resolution, although you may find the lower bits
+are active, they are not necessarily reliable or useful externally. We
+chose not to mask them.
+
+We employ significant filtering that is user tunable as described in the
+data sheet. Our temperature reports and fan PWM outputs are very smooth
+when compared to the competition, in addition to the higher resolution
+temperature reports. The smoother PWM output does not require user
+intervention.
+
+We offer GPIO features on the former VID pins. These are open-drain
+outputs or inputs and may be used as general purpose I/O or as alarm
+outputs that are based on temperature limits. These are in 19h and 1Ah.
+
+We offer flexible mapping of temperature readings to thermal zones. Any
+temperature may be mapped to any zone, which has a default assignment
+that follows Intel's specs.
+
+Since there is a fan to zone assignment that allows for the "hotter" of
+a set of zones to control the PWM of an individual fan, but there is no
+indication to the user, we have added an indicator that shows which zone
+is currently controlling the PWM for a given fan. This is in register
+00h.
+
+Both remote diode temperature readings may be given an offset value such
+that the reported reading as well as the temperature used to determine
+PWM may be offset for system calibration purposes.
+
+PECI Extended configuration allows for having more than two domains per
+PECI address and also provides an enabling function for each PECI
+address. One could use our flexible zone assignment to have a zone
+assigned to up to 4 PECI addresses. This is not possible in the default
+Intel configuration. This would be useful in multi-CPU systems with
+individual fans on each that would benefit from individual fan control.
+This is in register 0Eh.
+
+The tachometer measurement system is flexible and able to adapt to many
+fan types. We can also support pulse-stretched PWM so that 3-wire fans
+may be used. These characteristics are in registers 04h to 07h.
+
+Finally, we have added a tach disable function that turns off the tach
+measurement system for individual tachs in order to save power. That is
+in register 75h.

+aSC7621 Product Description
+
+The aSC7621 has a two wire digital interface compatible with SMBus 2.0.
+Using a 10-bit ADC, the aSC7621 measures the temperature of two remote diode
+connected transistors as well as its own die. Support for Platform
+Environmental Control Interface (PECI) is included.
+
+Using temperature information from these four zones, an automatic fan speed
+control algorithm is employed to minimize acoustic impact while achieving
+recommended CPU temperature under varying operational loads.
+
+To set fan speed, the aSC7621 has three independent pulse width modulation
+(PWM) outputs that are controlled by one, or a combination of three,
+temperature zones. Both high- and low-frequency PWM ranges are supported.
+
+The aSC7621 also includes a digital filter that can be invoked to smooth
+temperature readings for better control of fan speed and minimum acoustic
+impact.
+
+The aSC7621 has tachometer inputs to measure fan speed on up to four fans.
+Limit and status registers for all measured values are included to alert
+the system host that any measurements are outside of programmed limits
+via status registers.
+
+System voltages of VCCP, 2.5V, 3.3V, 5.0V, and 12V motherboard power are
+monitored efficiently with internal scaling resistors.
