ARM TCM (Tightly-Coupled Memory) handling in Linux
----
Written by Linus Walleij <linus.walleij@stericsson.com>
Some ARM SoC:s have a so-called TCM (Tightly-Coupled Memory).
This is usually just a few (4-64) KiB of RAM inside the ARM
processor.
Due to being embedded inside the CPU The TCM has a
Harvard-architecture, so there is an ITCM (instruction TCM)
and a DTCM (data TCM). The DTCM can not contain any
instructions, but the ITCM can actually contain data.
The size of DTCM or ITCM is minimum 4KiB so the typical
minimum configuration is 4KiB ITCM and 4KiB DTCM.
ARM CPU:s have special registers to read out status, physical
location and size of TCM memories. arch/arm/include/asm/cputype.h
defines a CPUID_TCM register that you can read out from the
system control coprocessor. Documentation from ARM can be found
at http://infocenter.arm.com, search for "TCM Status Register"
to see documents for all CPUs. Reading this register you can
determine if ITCM (bit 0) and/or DTCM (bit 16) is present in the
machine.
There is further a TCM region register (search for "TCM Region
Registers" at the ARM site) that can report and modify the location
size of TCM memories at runtime. This is used to read out and modify
TCM location and size. Notice that this is not a MMU table: you
actually move the physical location of the TCM around. At the
place you put it, it will mask any underlying RAM from the
CPU so it is usually wise not to overlap any physical RAM with
the TCM. The TCM memory exists totally outside the MMU and will
override any MMU mappings.
Code executing inside the ITCM does not "see" any MMU mappings
and e.g. register accesses must be made to physical addresses.
TCM is used for a few things:
- FIQ and other interrupt handlers that need deterministic
timing and cannot wait for cache misses.
- Idle loops where all external RAM is set to self-refresh
retention mode, so only on-chip RAM is accessible by
the CPU and then we hang inside ITCM waiting for an
interrupt.
- Other operations which implies shutting off or reconfiguring
the external RAM controller.
There is an interface for using TCM on the ARM architecture
in <asm/tcm.h>. Using this interface it is possible to:
- Define the physical address and size of ITCM and DTCM.
- Tag functions to be compiled into ITCM.
- Tag data and constants to be allocated to DTCM and ITCM.
- Have the remaining TCM RAM added to a special
allocation pool with gen_pool_create() and gen_pool_add()
and provice tcm_alloc() and tcm_free() for this
memory. Such a heap is great for things like saving
device state when shutting off device power domains.
A machine that has TCM memory shall select HAVE_TCM in
arch/arm/Kconfig for itself, and then the
rest of the functionality will depend on the physical
location and size of ITCM and DTCM to be defined in
mach/memory.h for the machine. Code that needs to use
TCM shall #include <asm/tcm.h> If the TCM is not located
at the place given in memory.h it will be moved using
the TCM Region registers.
Functions to go into itcm can be tagged like this:
int __tcmfunc foo(int bar);
Variables to go into dtcm can be tagged like this:
int __tcmdata foo;
Constants can be tagged like this:
int __tcmconst foo;
To put assembler into TCM just use
.section ".tcm.text" or .section ".tcm.data"
respectively.
Example code:
#include <asm/tcm.h>
/* Uninitialized data */
static u32 __tcmdata tcmvar;
/* Initialized data */
static u32 __tcmdata tcmassigned = 0x2BADBABEU;
/* Constant */
static const u32 __tcmconst tcmconst = 0xCAFEBABEU;
static void __tcmlocalfunc tcm_to_tcm(void)
{
int i;
for (i = 0; i < 100; i++)
tcmvar ++;
}
static void __tcmfunc hello_tcm(void)
{
/* Some abstract code that runs in ITCM */
int i;
for (i = 0; i < 100; i++) {
tcmvar ++;
}
tcm_to_tcm();
}
static void __init test_tcm(void)
{
u32 *tcmem;
int i;
hello_tcm();
printk("Hello TCM executed from ITCM RAM\n");
printk("TCM variable from testrun: %u @ %p\n", tcmvar, &tcmvar);
tcmvar = 0xDEADBEEFU;
printk("TCM variable: 0x%x @ %p\n", tcmvar, &tcmvar);
printk("TCM assigned variable: 0x%x @ %p\n", tcmassigned, &tcmassigned);
printk("TCM constant: 0x%x @ %p\n", tcmconst, &tcmconst);
/* Allocate some TCM memory from the pool */
tcmem = tcm_alloc(20);
if (tcmem) {
printk("TCM Allocated 20 bytes of TCM @ %p\n", tcmem);
tcmem[0] = 0xDEADBEEFU;
tcmem[1] = 0x2BADBABEU;
tcmem[2] = 0xCAFEBABEU;
tcmem[3] = 0xDEADBEEFU;
tcmem[4] = 0x2BADBABEU;
for (i = 0; i < 5; i++)
printk("TCM tcmem[%d] = %08x\n", i, tcmem[i]);
tcm_free(tcmem, 20);

Passing the name=<x> option when mounting a cgroups hierarchy
associates the given name with the hierarchy. This can be used when
mounting a pre-existing hierarchy, in order to refer to it by name

nameless, or has a unique name.
The name should match [\w.-]+
When passing a name=<x> option for a new hierarchy, you need to

7. Soft limits
Soft limits allow for greater sharing of memory. The idea behind soft limits
is to allow control groups to use as much of the memory as needed, provided
a. There is no memory contention
b. They do not exceed their hard limit
When the system detects memory contention or low memory control groups
are pushed back to their soft limits. If the soft limit of each control
group is very high, they are pushed back as much as possible to make
sure that one control group does not starve the others of memory.
Please note that soft limits is a best effort feature, it comes with
no guarantees, but it does its best to make sure that when memory is
heavily contended for, memory is allocated based on the soft limit
hints/setup. Currently soft limit based reclaim is setup such that
it gets invoked from balance_pgdat (kswapd).
7.1 Interface
Soft limits can be setup by using the following commands (in this example we
assume a soft limit of 256 megabytes)
# echo 256M > memory.soft_limit_in_bytes
If we want to change this to 1G, we can at any time use
# echo 1G > memory.soft_limit_in_bytes
NOTE1: Soft limits take effect over a long period of time, since they involve
reclaiming memory for balancing between memory cgroups
NOTE2: It is recommended to set the soft limit always below the hard limit,
otherwise the hard limit will take precedence.
8. TODO
1. Add support for accounting huge pages (as a separate controller)
2. Make per-cgroup scanner reclaim not-shared pages first

================================
Driver for EP93xx LCD controller
================================
The EP93xx LCD controller can drive both standard desktop monitors and
embedded LCD displays. If you have a standard desktop monitor then you
can use the standard Linux video mode database. In your board file:
static struct ep93xxfb_mach_info some_board_fb_info = {
.num_modes = EP93XXFB_USE_MODEDB,
.bpp = 16,
};
If you have an embedded LCD display then you need to define a video
mode for it as follows:
static struct fb_videomode some_board_video_modes[] = {
{
.name = "some_lcd_name",
/* Pixel clock, porches, etc */
},
};
Note that the pixel clock value is in pico-seconds. You can use the
KHZ2PICOS macro to convert the pixel clock value. Most other values
are in pixel clocks. See Documentation/fb/framebuffer.txt for further
details.
The ep93xxfb_mach_info structure for your board should look like the
following:
static struct ep93xxfb_mach_info some_board_fb_info = {
.num_modes = ARRAY_SIZE(some_board_video_modes),
.modes = some_board_video_modes,
.default_mode = &some_board_video_modes[0],
.bpp = 16,
};
The framebuffer device can be registered by adding the following to
your board initialisation function:
ep93xx_register_fb(&some_board_fb_info);
=====================
Video Attribute Flags
=====================
The ep93xxfb_mach_info structure has a flags field which can be used
to configure the controller. The video attributes flags are fully
documented in section 7 of the EP93xx users' guide. The following
flags are available:
EP93XXFB_PCLK_FALLING Clock data on the falling edge of the
pixel clock. The default is to clock
data on the rising edge.
EP93XXFB_SYNC_BLANK_HIGH Blank signal is active high. By
default the blank signal is active low.
EP93XXFB_SYNC_HORIZ_HIGH Horizontal sync is active high. By
default the horizontal sync is active low.
EP93XXFB_SYNC_VERT_HIGH Vertical sync is active high. By
default the vertical sync is active high.
The physical address of the framebuffer can be controlled using the
following flags:
EP93XXFB_USE_SDCSN0 Use SDCSn[0] for the framebuffer. This
is the default setting.
EP93XXFB_USE_SDCSN1 Use SDCSn[1] for the framebuffer.
EP93XXFB_USE_SDCSN2 Use SDCSn[2] for the framebuffer.
EP93XXFB_USE_SDCSN3 Use SDCSn[3] for the framebuffer.
==================
Platform callbacks
==================
The EP93xx framebuffer driver supports three optional platform
callbacks: setup, teardown and blank. The setup and teardown functions
are called when the framebuffer driver is installed and removed
respectively. The blank function is called whenever the display is
blanked or unblanked.
The setup and teardown devices pass the platform_device structure as
an argument. The fb_info and ep93xxfb_mach_info structures can be
obtained as follows:
static int some_board_fb_setup(struct platform_device *pdev)
{
struct ep93xxfb_mach_info *mach_info = pdev->dev.platform_data;
struct fb_info *fb_info = platform_get_drvdata(pdev);
/* Board specific framebuffer setup */
}
======================
Setting the video mode
======================
The video mode is set using the following syntax:
video=XRESxYRES[-BPP][@REFRESH]
If the EP93xx video driver is built-in then the video mode is set on
the Linux kernel command line, for example:
video=ep93xx-fb:800x600-16@60
If the EP93xx video driver is built as a module then the video mode is
set when the module is installed:
modprobe ep93xx-fb video=320x240
==============
Screenpage bug
==============
At least on the EP9315 there is a silicon bug which causes bit 27 of
the VIDSCRNPAGE (framebuffer physical offset) to be tied low. There is
an unofficial errata for this bug at:
http://marc.info/?l=linux-arm-kernel&m=110061245502000&w=2
By default the EP93xx framebuffer driver checks if the allocated physical
address has bit 27 set. If it does, then the memory is freed and an
error is returned. The check can be disabled by adding the following
option when loading the driver:
ep93xx-fb.check_screenpage_bug=0
In some cases it may be possible to reconfigure your SDRAM layout to
avoid this bug. See section 13 of the EP93xx users' guide for details.

The current implementation is intended for developers only: while it
does support ordinary file operations on clients we have tested against
(including the linux client), it is incomplete in ways which may limit
features unexpectedly, cause known bugs in rare cases, or cause
interoperability problems with future clients. Known issues:
- gss support is questionable: currently mounts with kerberos
from a linux client are possible, but we aren't really
conformant with the spec (for example, we don't use kerberos
on the backchannel correctly).
- no trunking support: no clients currently take advantage of
trunking, but this is a mandatory failure, and its use is
recommended to clients in a number of places. (E.g. to ensure
timely renewal in case an existing connection's retry timeouts
have gotten too long; see section 8.3 of the draft.)
Therefore, lack of this feature may cause future clients to
fail.
- Incomplete backchannel support: incomplete backchannel gss
support and no support for BACKCHANNEL_CTL mean that
callbacks (hence delegations and layouts) may not be
available and clients confused by the incomplete
implementation may fail.
- Server reboot recovery is unsupported; if the server reboots,
clients may fail.
- We do not support SSV, which provides security for shared
client-server state (thus preventing unauthorized tampering
with locks and opens, for example). It is mandatory for
servers to support this, though no clients use it yet.
- Mandatory operations which we do not support, such as
DESTROY_CLIENTID, FREE_STATEID, SECINFO_NO_NAME, and
TEST_STATEID, are not currently used by clients, but will be
(and the spec recommends their uses in common cases), and
clients should not be expected to know how to recover from the
case where they are not supported. This will eventually cause
interoperability failures.
In addition, some limitations are inherited from the current NFSv4
implementation:
- Incomplete delegation enforcement: if a file is renamed or
unlinked, a client holding a delegation may continue to
indefinitely allow opens of the file under the old name.
The table below, taken from the NFSv4.1 document, lists
the operations that are mandatory to implement (REQ), optional
(OPT), and NFSv4.0 operations that are required not to implement (MNI)

Kernel driver power_meter
=========================
This driver talks to ACPI 4.0 power meters.
Supported systems:
* Any recent system with ACPI 4.0.
Prefix: 'power_meter'
Datasheet: http://acpi.info/, section 10.4.
Author: Darrick J. Wong
Description
-----------
This driver implements sensor reading support for the power meters exposed in
the ACPI 4.0 spec (Chapter 10.4). These devices have a simple set of
features--a power meter that returns average power use over a configurable
interval, an optional capping mechanism, and a couple of trip points. The
sysfs interface conforms with the specification outlined in the "Power" section
of Documentation/hwmon/sysfs-interface.
Special Features
----------------
The power[1-*]_is_battery knob indicates if the power supply is a battery.
Both power[1-*]_average_{min,max} must be set before the trip points will work.
When both of them are set, an ACPI event will be broadcast on the ACPI netlink
socket and a poll notification will be sent to the appropriate
power[1-*]_average sysfs file.
The power[1-*]_{model_number, serial_number, oem_info} fields display arbitrary
strings that ACPI provides with the meter. The measures/ directory contains
symlinks to the devices that this meter measures.
Some computers have the ability to enforce a power cap in hardware. If this is
the case, the power[1-*]_cap and related sysfs files will appear. When the
average power consumption exceeds the cap, an ACPI event will be broadcast on
the netlink event socket and a poll notification will be sent to the
appropriate power[1-*]_alarm file to indicate that capping has begun, and the
hardware has taken action to reduce power consumption. Most likely this will
result in reduced performance.
There are a few other ACPI notifications that can be sent by the firmware. In
all cases the ACPI event will be broadcast on the ACPI netlink event socket as
well as sent as a poll notification to a sysfs file. The events are as
follows:
power[1-*]_cap will be notified if the firmware changes the power cap.
power[1-*]_interval will be notified if the firmware changes the averaging
interval.

Kernel driver fscher
====================
Supported chips:
* Fujitsu-Siemens Hermes chip
Prefix: 'fscher'
Addresses scanned: I2C 0x73
Authors:
Reinhard Nissl <rnissl@gmx.de> based on work
from Hermann Jung <hej@odn.de>,
Frodo Looijaard <frodol@dds.nl>,
Philip Edelbrock <phil@netroedge.com>
Description
-----------
This driver implements support for the Fujitsu-Siemens Hermes chip. It is
described in the 'Register Set Specification BMC Hermes based Systemboard'
from Fujitsu-Siemens.
The Hermes chip implements a hardware-based system management, e.g. for
controlling fan speed and core voltage. There is also a watchdog counter on
the chip which can trigger an alarm and even shut the system down.
The chip provides three temperature values (CPU, motherboard and
auxiliary), three voltage values (+12V, +5V and battery) and three fans
(power supply, CPU and auxiliary).
Temperatures are measured in degrees Celsius. The resolution is 1 degree.
Fan rotation speeds are reported in RPM (rotations per minute). The value
can be divided by a programmable divider (1, 2 or 4) which is stored on
the chip.
Voltage sensors (also known as "in" sensors) report their values in volts.
All values are reported as final values from the driver. There is no need
for further calculations.
Detailed description
--------------------
Below you'll find a single line description of all the bit values. With
this information, you're able to decode e. g. alarms, wdog, etc. To make
use of the watchdog, you'll need to set the watchdog time and enable the
watchdog. After that it is necessary to restart the watchdog time within
the specified period of time, or a system reset will occur.

Limitations
-----------
* Measuring fan speed
It seems that the chip counts "ripples" (typical fans produce 2 ripples per
rotation while VERAX fans produce 18) in a 9-bit register. This register is
read out every second, then the ripple prescaler (2, 4 or 8) is applied and
the result is stored in the 8 bit output register. Due to the limitation of
the counting register to 9 bits, it is impossible to measure a VERAX fan
properly (even with a prescaler of 8). At its maximum speed of 3500 RPM the
fan produces 1080 ripples per second which causes the counting register to
overflow twice, leading to only 186 RPM.
* Measuring input voltages
in2 ("battery") reports the voltage of the onboard lithium battery and not
+3.3V from the power supply.
* Undocumented features
Fujitsu-Siemens Computers has not documented all features of the chip so
far. Their software, System Guard, shows that there are a still some
features which cannot be controlled by this implementation.

Kernel driver pca9539
=====================
NOTE: this driver is deprecated and will be dropped soon, use
drivers/gpio/pca9539.c instead.
Supported chips:
* Philips PCA9539
Prefix: 'pca9539'
Addresses scanned: none
Datasheet:
http://www.semiconductors.philips.com/acrobat/datasheets/PCA9539_2.pdf
Author: Ben Gardner <bgardner@wabtec.com>
Description
-----------
The Philips PCA9539 is a 16 bit low power I/O device.
All 16 lines can be individually configured as an input or output.
The input sense can also be inverted.
The 16 lines are split between two bytes.
Detection
---------
The PCA9539 is difficult to detect and not commonly found in PC machines,
so you have to pass the I2C bus and address of the installed PCA9539
devices explicitly to the driver at load time via the force=... parameter.
Sysfs entries
-------------
Each is a byte that maps to the 8 I/O bits.
A '0' suffix is for bits 0-7, while '1' is for bits 8-15.
input[01] - read the current value
output[01] - sets the output value
direction[01] - direction of each bit: 1=input, 0=output
invert[01] - toggle the input bit sense
input reads the actual state of the line and is always available.
The direction defaults to input for all channels.
General Remarks
---------------
Note that each output, direction, and invert entry controls 8 lines.
You should use the read, modify, write sequence.
For example. to set output bit 0 of 1.
val=$(cat output0)
val=$(( $val | 1 ))
echo $val > output0

Description
-----------
The PCF8574(A) is an 8-bit I/O expander for the I2C bus produced by Philips
Semiconductors. It is designed to provide a byte I2C interface to up to 16
separate devices (8 x PCF8574 and 8 x PCF8574A).
This device consists of a quasi-bidirectional port. Each of the eight I/Os
can be independently used as an input or output. To setup an I/O as an
input, you have to write a 1 to the corresponding output.
For more informations see the datasheet.
Accessing PCF8574(A) via /sys interface
-------------------------------------
The PCF8574(A) is plainly impossible to detect ! Stupid chip.
So, you have to pass the I2C bus and address of the installed PCF857A
and PCF8574A devices explicitly to the driver at load time via the
force=... parameter.
On detection (i.e. insmod, modprobe et al.), directories are being
created for each detected PCF8574(A):
/sys/bus/i2c/devices/<0>-<1>/
where <0> is the bus the chip was detected on (e. g. i2c-0)
and <1> the chip address ([20..27] or [38..3f]):
(example: /sys/bus/i2c/devices/1-0020/)
Inside these directories, there are two files each:
read and write (and one file with chip name).
The read file is read-only. Reading gives you the current I/O input
if the corresponding output is set as 1, otherwise the current output
value, that is to say 0.
The write file is read/write. Writing a value outputs it on the I/O
port. Reading returns the last written value. As it is not possible
to read this value from the chip, you need to write at least once to
this file before you can read back from it.

About the PCF8575 chip and the pcf8575 kernel driver
====================================================
The PCF8575 chip is produced by the following manufacturers:
* Philips NXP
http://www.nxp.com/#/pip/cb=[type=product,path=50807/41735/41850,final=PCF8575_3]|pip=[pip=PCF8575_3][0]
* Texas Instruments
http://focus.ti.com/docs/prod/folders/print/pcf8575.html
Some vendors sell small PCB's with the PCF8575 mounted on it. You can connect
such a board to a Linux host via e.g. an USB to I2C interface. Examples of
PCB boards with a PCF8575:
* SFE Breakout Board for PCF8575 I2C Expander by RobotShop
http://www.robotshop.ca/home/products/robot-parts/electronics/adapters-converters/sfe-pcf8575-i2c-expander-board.html
* Breakout Board for PCF8575 I2C Expander by Spark Fun Electronics
http://www.sparkfun.com/commerce/product_info.php?products_id=8130
Description
-----------
The PCF8575 chip is a 16-bit I/O expander for the I2C bus. Up to eight of
these chips can be connected to the same I2C bus. You can find this
chip on some custom designed hardware, but you won't find it on PC
motherboards.
The PCF8575 chip consists of a 16-bit quasi-bidirectional port and an I2C-bus
interface. Each of the sixteen I/O's can be independently used as an input or
an output. To set up an I/O pin as an input, you have to write a 1 to the
corresponding output.
For more information please see the datasheet.
Detection
---------
There is no method known to detect whether a chip on a given I2C address is
a PCF8575 or whether it is any other I2C device, so you have to pass the I2C
bus and address of the installed PCF8575 devices explicitly to the driver at
load time via the force=... parameter.
/sys interface
--------------
For each address on which a PCF8575 chip was found or forced the following
files will be created under /sys:
* /sys/bus/i2c/devices/<bus>-<address>/read
* /sys/bus/i2c/devices/<bus>-<address>/write
where bus is the I2C bus number (0, 1, ...) and address is the four-digit
hexadecimal representation of the 7-bit I2C address of the PCF8575
(0020 .. 0027).
The read file is read-only. Reading it will trigger an I2C read and will hence
report the current input state for the pins configured as inputs, and the
current output value for the pins configured as outputs.
The write file is read-write. Writing a value to it will configure all pins
as output for which the corresponding bit is zero. Reading the write file will
return the value last written, or -EAGAIN if no value has yet been written to
the write file.
On module initialization the configuration of the chip is not changed -- the
chip is left in the state it was already configured in through either power-up
or through previous I2C write actions.

1. Downloading
==============
kmemcheck can only be downloaded using git. If you want to write patches
against the current code, you should use the kmemcheck development branch of
the tip tree. It is also possible to use the linux-next tree, which also
includes the latest version of kmemcheck.
Assuming that you've already cloned the linux-2.6.git repository, all you
have to do is add the -tip tree as a remote, like this:
$ git remote add tip git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/linux-2.6-tip.git
To actually download the tree, fetch the remote:
$ git fetch tip
And to check out a new local branch with the kmemcheck code:
$ git checkout -b kmemcheck tip/kmemcheck
General instructions for the -tip tree can be found here:
http://people.redhat.com/mingo/tip.git/readme.txt

Asus Laptop Extras
Version 0.1
August 6, 2009
Corentin Chary <corentincj@iksaif.net>
http://acpi4asus.sf.net/
This driver provides support for extra features of ACPI-compatible ASUS laptops.
It may also support some MEDION, JVC or VICTOR laptops (such as MEDION 9675 or
VICTOR XP7210 for example). It makes all the extra buttons generate standard
ACPI events that go through /proc/acpi/events and input events (like keyboards).
On some models adds support for changing the display brightness and output,
switching the LCD backlight on and off, and most importantly, allows you to
blink those fancy LEDs intended for reporting mail and wireless status.
This driver supercedes the old asus_acpi driver.
Requirements
------------
Kernel 2.6.X sources, configured for your computer, with ACPI support.
You also need CONFIG_INPUT and CONFIG_ACPI.
Status
------
The features currently supported are the following (see below for
detailed description):
- Fn key combinations
- Bluetooth enable and disable
- Wlan enable and disable
- GPS enable and disable
- Video output switching
- Ambient Light Sensor on and off
- LED control
- LED Display control
- LCD brightness control
- LCD on and off
A compatibility table by model and feature is maintained on the web
site, http://acpi4asus.sf.net/.
Usage
-----
Try "modprobe asus_acpi". Check your dmesg (simply type dmesg). You should
see some lines like this :
Asus Laptop Extras version 0.42
L2D model detected.
If it is not the output you have on your laptop, send it (and the laptop's
DSDT) to me.
That's all, now, all the events generated by the hotkeys of your laptop
should be reported in your /proc/acpi/event entry. You can check with
"acpi_listen".
Hotkeys are also reported as input keys (like keyboards) you can check
which key are supported using "xev" under X11.
You can get informations on the version of your DSDT table by reading the
/sys/devices/platform/asus-laptop/infos entry. If you have a question or a
bug report to do, please include the output of this entry.
LEDs
----
You can modify LEDs be echoing values to /sys/class/leds/asus::*/brightness :
echo 1 > /sys/class/leds/asus::mail/brightness
will switch the mail LED on.
You can also know if they are on/off by reading their content and use
kernel triggers like ide-disk or heartbeat.
Backlight
---------
You can control lcd backlight power and brightness with
/sys/class/backlight/asus-laptop/. Brightness Values are between 0 and 15.
Wireless devices
---------------
You can turn the internal Bluetooth adapter on/off with the bluetooth entry
(only on models with Bluetooth). This usually controls the associated LED.
Same for Wlan adapter.
Display switching
-----------------
Note: the display switching code is currently considered EXPERIMENTAL.
Switching works for the following models:
L3800C
A2500H
L5800C
M5200N
W1000N (albeit with some glitches)
M6700R
A6JC
F3J
Switching doesn't work for the following:
M3700N
L2X00D (locks the laptop under certain conditions)
To switch the displays, echo values from 0 to 15 to
/sys/devices/platform/asus-laptop/display. The significance of those values
is as follows:
+-------+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+
| Bin | Val | DVI | TV | CRT | LCD |
+-------+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+
+ 0000 + 0 + + + + +

+ 0011 + 3 + + + X + X +

+-------+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+
+ 0111 + 7 + + X + X + X +
+-------+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+
+ 1000 + 8 + X + + + +
+-------+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+
+ 1001 + 9 + X + + + X +
+-------+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+
+ 1010 + 10 + X + + X + +
+-------+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+
+ 1011 + 11 + X + + X + X +
+-------+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+
+ 1100 + 12 + X + X + + +
+-------+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+
+ 1101 + 13 + X + X + + X +
+-------+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+
+ 1110 + 14 + X + X + X + +
+-------+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+
+ 1111 + 15 + X + X + X + X +
+-------+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+
In most cases, the appropriate displays must be plugged in for the above
combinations to work. TV-Out may need to be initialized at boot time.
Debugging:
1) Check whether the Fn+F8 key:
a) does not lock the laptop (try disabling CONFIG_X86_UP_APIC or boot with
noapic / nolapic if it does)
b) generates events (0x6n, where n is the value corresponding to the
configuration above)
c) actually works
Record the disp value at every configuration.
2) Echo values from 0 to 15 to /sys/devices/platform/asus-laptop/display.
Record its value, note any change. If nothing changes, try a broader range,
up to 65535.
3) Send ANY output (both positive and negative reports are needed, unless your
machine is already listed above) to the acpi4asus-user mailing list.
Note: on some machines (e.g. L3C), after the module has been loaded, only 0x6n
events are generated and no actual switching occurs. In such a case, a line
like:
echo $((10#$arg-60)) > /sys/devices/platform/asus-laptop/display
will usually do the trick ($arg is the 0000006n-like event passed to acpid).
Note: there is currently no reliable way to read display status on xxN
(Centrino) models.
LED display
-----------
Some models like the W1N have a LED display that can be used to display
several informations.
LED display works for the following models:
W1000N
W1J
To control the LED display, use the following :
echo 0x0T000DDD > /sys/devices/platform/asus-laptop/
where T control the 3 letters display, and DDD the 3 digits display,
according to the tables below.
DDD (digits)
000 to 999 = display digits
AAA = ---
BBB to FFF = turn-off
T (type)
0 = off
1 = dvd
2 = vcd
3 = mp3
4 = cd
5 = tv
6 = cpu
7 = vol
For example "echo 0x01000001 >/sys/devices/platform/asus-laptop/ledd"
would display "DVD001".
Driver options:
---------------
Options can be passed to the asus-laptop driver using the standard
module argument syntax (<param>=<value> when passing the option to the
module or asus-laptop.<param>=<value> on the kernel boot line when
asus-laptop is statically linked into the kernel).
wapf: WAPF defines the behavior of the Fn+Fx wlan key
The significance of values is yet to be found, but
most of the time:
- 0x0 should do nothing
- 0x1 should allow to control the device with Fn+Fx key.
- 0x4 should send an ACPI event (0x88) while pressing the Fn+Fx key
- 0x5 like 0x1 or 0x4
The default value is 0x1.
Unsupported models
------------------
These models will never be supported by this module, as they use a completely
different mechanism to handle LEDs and extra stuff (meaning we have no clue
how it works):
- ASUS A1300 (A1B), A1370D
- ASUS L7300G
- ASUS L8400
Patches, Errors, Questions:
--------------------------
I appreciate any success or failure
reports, especially if they add to or correct the compatibility table.
Please include the following information in your report:
- Asus model name
- a copy of your ACPI tables, using the "acpidump" utility
- a copy of /sys/devices/platform/asus-laptop/infos
- which driver features work and which don't
- the observed behavior of non-working features
Any other comments or patches are also more than welcome.

Regulator API design notes
==========================
This document provides a brief, partially structured, overview of some
of the design considerations which impact the regulator API design.
Safety
------
- Errors in regulator configuration can have very serious consequences
for the system, potentially including lasting hardware damage.
- It is not possible to automatically determine the power confugration
of the system - software-equivalent variants of the same chip may
have different power requirments, and not all components with power
requirements are visible to software.
=> The API should make no changes to the hardware state unless it has
specific knowledge that these changes are safe to do perform on
this particular system.
Consumer use cases
------------------
- The overwhelming majority of devices in a system will have no
requirement to do any runtime configuration of their power beyond
being able to turn it on or off.
- Many of the power supplies in the system will be shared between many
different consumers.
=> The consumer API should be structured so that these use cases are
very easy to handle and so that consumers will work with shared
supplies without any additional effort.

core_pipe_limit:
This sysctl is only applicable when core_pattern is configured to pipe core
files to user space helper a (when the first character of core_pattern is a '|',
see above). When collecting cores via a pipe to an application, it is
occasionally usefull for the collecting application to gather data about the
crashing process from its /proc/pid directory. In order to do this safely, the
kernel must wait for the collecting process to exit, so as not to remove the
crashing processes proc files prematurely. This in turn creates the possibility
that a misbehaving userspace collecting process can block the reaping of a
crashed process simply by never exiting. This sysctl defends against that. It
defines how many concurrent crashing processes may be piped to user space
applications in parallel. If this value is exceeded, then those crashing
processes above that value are noted via the kernel log and their cores are
skipped. 0 is a special value, indicating that unlimited processes may be
captured in parallel, but that no waiting will take place (i.e. the collecting
process is not guaranteed access to /proc/<crahing pid>/). This value defaults

Subsystem Trace Points: kmem
The tracing system kmem captures events related to object and page allocation
within the kernel. Broadly speaking there are four major subheadings.
o Slab allocation of small objects of unknown type (kmalloc)
o Slab allocation of small objects of known type
o Page allocation
o Per-CPU Allocator Activity
o External Fragmentation
This document will describe what each of the tracepoints are and why they
might be useful.
1. Slab allocation of small objects of unknown type
===================================================
kmalloc call_site=%lx ptr=%p bytes_req=%zu bytes_alloc=%zu gfp_flags=%s
kmalloc_node call_site=%lx ptr=%p bytes_req=%zu bytes_alloc=%zu gfp_flags=%s node=%d
kfree call_site=%lx ptr=%p
Heavy activity for these events may indicate that a specific cache is
justified, particularly if kmalloc slab pages are getting significantly
internal fragmented as a result of the allocation pattern. By correlating
kmalloc with kfree, it may be possible to identify memory leaks and where
the allocation sites were.
2. Slab allocation of small objects of known type
=================================================
kmem_cache_alloc call_site=%lx ptr=%p bytes_req=%zu bytes_alloc=%zu gfp_flags=%s
kmem_cache_alloc_node call_site=%lx ptr=%p bytes_req=%zu bytes_alloc=%zu gfp_flags=%s node=%d
kmem_cache_free call_site=%lx ptr=%p
These events are similar in usage to the kmalloc-related events except that
it is likely easier to pin the event down to a specific cache. At the time
of writing, no information is available on what slab is being allocated from,
but the call_site can usually be used to extrapolate that information
3. Page allocation
==================
mm_page_alloc page=%p pfn=%lu order=%d migratetype=%d gfp_flags=%s
mm_page_alloc_zone_locked page=%p pfn=%lu order=%u migratetype=%d cpu=%d percpu_refill=%d
mm_page_free_direct page=%p pfn=%lu order=%d
mm_pagevec_free page=%p pfn=%lu order=%d cold=%d
These four events deal with page allocation and freeing. mm_page_alloc is
a simple indicator of page allocator activity. Pages may be allocated from
the per-CPU allocator (high performance) or the buddy allocator.
If pages are allocated directly from the buddy allocator, the
mm_page_alloc_zone_locked event is triggered. This event is important as high
amounts of activity imply high activity on the zone->lock. Taking this lock
impairs performance by disabling interrupts, dirtying cache lines between
CPUs and serialising many CPUs.
When a page is freed directly by the caller, the mm_page_free_direct event
is triggered. Significant amounts of activity here could indicate that the
callers should be batching their activities.
When pages are freed using a pagevec, the mm_pagevec_free is
triggered. Broadly speaking, pages are taken off the LRU lock in bulk and
freed in batch with a pagevec. Significant amounts of activity here could
indicate that the system is under memory pressure and can also indicate
contention on the zone->lru_lock.
4. Per-CPU Allocator Activity
=============================
mm_page_alloc_zone_locked page=%p pfn=%lu order=%u migratetype=%d cpu=%d percpu_refill=%d
mm_page_pcpu_drain page=%p pfn=%lu order=%d cpu=%d migratetype=%d
In front of the page allocator is a per-cpu page allocator. It exists only
for order-0 pages, reduces contention on the zone->lock and reduces the
amount of writing on struct page.
When a per-CPU list is empty or pages of the wrong type are allocated,
the zone->lock will be taken once and the per-CPU list refilled. The event
triggered is mm_page_alloc_zone_locked for each page allocated with the
event indicating whether it is for a percpu_refill or not.
When the per-CPU list is too full, a number of pages are freed, each one
which triggers a mm_page_pcpu_drain event.
The individual nature of the events are so that pages can be tracked
between allocation and freeing. A number of drain or refill pages that occur
consecutively imply the zone->lock being taken once. Large amounts of PCP
refills and drains could imply an imbalance between CPUs where too much work
is being concentrated in one place. It could also indicate that the per-CPU
lists should be a larger size. Finally, large amounts of refills on one CPU
and drains on another could be a factor in causing large amounts of cache
line bounces due to writes between CPUs and worth investigating if pages
can be allocated and freed on the same CPU through some algorithm change.
5. External Fragmentation
=========================
mm_page_alloc_extfrag page=%p pfn=%lu alloc_order=%d fallback_order=%d pageblock_order=%d alloc_migratetype=%d fallback_migratetype=%d fragmenting=%d change_ownership=%d
External fragmentation affects whether a high-order allocation will be
successful or not. For some types of hardware, this is important although
it is avoided where possible. If the system is using huge pages and needs
to be able to resize the pool over the lifetime of the system, this value
is important.
Large numbers of this event implies that memory is fragmenting and
high-order allocations will start failing at some time in the future. One
means of reducing the occurange of this event is to increase the size of
min_free_kbytes in increments of 3*pageblock_size*nr_online_nodes where
pageblock_size is usually the size of the default hugepage size.

# This is a POC (proof of concept or piece of crap, take your pick) for reading the
# text representation of trace output related to page allocation. It makes an attempt
# to extract some high-level information on what is going on. The accuracy of the parser
# may vary considerably
#
# Example usage: trace-pagealloc-postprocess.pl < /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/trace_pipe
# other options
# --prepend-parent Report on the parent proc and PID
# --read-procstat If the trace lacks process info, get it from /proc
# --ignore-pid Aggregate processes of the same name together

Notes on Analysing Behaviour Using Events and Tracepoints
Documentation written by Mel Gorman
PCL information heavily based on email from Ingo Molnar
1. Introduction
===============
Tracepoints (see Documentation/trace/tracepoints.txt) can be used without
creating custom kernel modules to register probe functions using the event
tracing infrastructure.
Simplistically, tracepoints will represent an important event that when can
be taken in conjunction with other tracepoints to build a "Big Picture" of
what is going on within the system. There are a large number of methods for
gathering and interpreting these events. Lacking any current Best Practises,
this document describes some of the methods that can be used.
This document assumes that debugfs is mounted on /sys/kernel/debug and that
the appropriate tracing options have been configured into the kernel. It is
assumed that the PCL tool tools/perf has been installed and is in your path.
2. Listing Available Events
===========================
2.1 Standard Utilities
----------------------
All possible events are visible from /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events. Simply
calling
$ find /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events -type d
will give a fair indication of the number of events available.
2.2 PCL
-------
Discovery and enumeration of all counters and events, including tracepoints
are available with the perf tool. Getting a list of available events is a
simple case of
$ perf list 2>&1 | grep Tracepoint
ext4:ext4_free_inode [Tracepoint event]
ext4:ext4_request_inode [Tracepoint event]
ext4:ext4_allocate_inode [Tracepoint event]
ext4:ext4_write_begin [Tracepoint event]
ext4:ext4_ordered_write_end [Tracepoint event]
[ .... remaining output snipped .... ]
2. Enabling Events
==================
2.1 System-Wide Event Enabling
------------------------------
See Documentation/trace/events.txt for a proper description on how events
can be enabled system-wide. A short example of enabling all events related
to page allocation would look something like
$ for i in `find /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events -name "enable" | grep mm_`; do echo 1 > $i; done
2.2 System-Wide Event Enabling with SystemTap
---------------------------------------------
In SystemTap, tracepoints are accessible using the kernel.trace() function
call. The following is an example that reports every 5 seconds what processes
were allocating the pages.
global page_allocs
probe kernel.trace("mm_page_alloc") {
page_allocs[execname()]++
}
function print_count() {
printf ("%-25s %-s\n", "#Pages Allocated", "Process Name")
foreach (proc in page_allocs-)
printf("%-25d %s\n", page_allocs[proc], proc)
printf ("\n")
delete page_allocs
}
probe timer.s(5) {
print_count()
}
2.3 System-Wide Event Enabling with PCL
---------------------------------------
By specifying the -a switch and analysing sleep, the system-wide events
for a duration of time can be examined.
$ perf stat -a \
-e kmem:mm_page_alloc -e kmem:mm_page_free_direct \
-e kmem:mm_pagevec_free \
sleep 10
Performance counter stats for 'sleep 10':
9630 kmem:mm_page_alloc
2143 kmem:mm_page_free_direct
7424 kmem:mm_pagevec_free
10.002577764 seconds time elapsed
Similarly, one could execute a shell and exit it as desired to get a report
at that point.
2.4 Local Event Enabling
------------------------
Documentation/trace/ftrace.txt describes how to enable events on a per-thread
basis using set_ftrace_pid.
2.5 Local Event Enablement with PCL
-----------------------------------
Events can be activate and tracked for the duration of a process on a local
basis using PCL such as follows.
$ perf stat -e kmem:mm_page_alloc -e kmem:mm_page_free_direct \
-e kmem:mm_pagevec_free ./hackbench 10
Time: 0.909
Performance counter stats for './hackbench 10':
17803 kmem:mm_page_alloc
12398 kmem:mm_page_free_direct
4827 kmem:mm_pagevec_free
0.973913387 seconds time elapsed
3. Event Filtering
==================
Documentation/trace/ftrace.txt covers in-depth how to filter events in
ftrace. Obviously using grep and awk of trace_pipe is an option as well
as any script reading trace_pipe.
4. Analysing Event Variances with PCL
=====================================
Any workload can exhibit variances between runs and it can be important
to know what the standard deviation in. By and large, this is left to the
performance analyst to do it by hand. In the event that the discrete event
occurrences are useful to the performance analyst, then perf can be used.
$ perf stat --repeat 5 -e kmem:mm_page_alloc -e kmem:mm_page_free_direct
-e kmem:mm_pagevec_free ./hackbench 10
Time: 0.890
Time: 0.895
Time: 0.915
Time: 1.001
Time: 0.899
Performance counter stats for './hackbench 10' (5 runs):
16630 kmem:mm_page_alloc ( +- 3.542% )
11486 kmem:mm_page_free_direct ( +- 4.771% )
4730 kmem:mm_pagevec_free ( +- 2.325% )
0.982653002 seconds time elapsed ( +- 1.448% )
In the event that some higher-level event is required that depends on some
aggregation of discrete events, then a script would need to be developed.
Using --repeat, it is also possible to view how events are fluctuating over
time on a system wide basis using -a and sleep.
$ perf stat -e kmem:mm_page_alloc -e kmem:mm_page_free_direct \
-e kmem:mm_pagevec_free \
-a --repeat 10 \
sleep 1
Performance counter stats for 'sleep 1' (10 runs):
1066 kmem:mm_page_alloc ( +- 26.148% )
182 kmem:mm_page_free_direct ( +- 5.464% )
890 kmem:mm_pagevec_free ( +- 30.079% )
1.002251757 seconds time elapsed ( +- 0.005% )
5. Higher-Level Analysis with Helper Scripts
============================================
When events are enabled the events that are triggering can be read from
/sys/kernel/debug/tracing/trace_pipe in human-readable format although binary
options exist as well. By post-processing the output, further information can
be gathered on-line as appropriate. Examples of post-processing might include
o Reading information from /proc for the PID that triggered the event
o Deriving a higher-level event from a series of lower-level events.
o Calculate latencies between two events
Documentation/trace/postprocess/trace-pagealloc-postprocess.pl is an example
script that can read trace_pipe from STDIN or a copy of a trace. When used
on-line, it can be interrupted once to generate a report without existing
and twice to exit.
Simplistically, the script just reads STDIN and counts up events but it
also can do more such as
o Derive high-level events from many low-level events. If a number of pages
are freed to the main allocator from the per-CPU lists, it recognises
that as one per-CPU drain even though there is no specific tracepoint
for that event
o It can aggregate based on PID or individual process number
o In the event memory is getting externally fragmented, it reports
on whether the fragmentation event was severe or moderate.
o When receiving an event about a PID, it can record who the parent was so
that if large numbers of events are coming from very short-lived
processes, the parent process responsible for creating all the helpers
can be identified
6. Lower-Level Analysis with PCL
================================
There may also be a requirement to identify what functions with a program
were generating events within the kernel. To begin this sort of analysis, the
data must be recorded. At the time of writing, this required root
$ perf record -c 1 \
-e kmem:mm_page_alloc -e kmem:mm_page_free_direct \
-e kmem:mm_pagevec_free \
./hackbench 10
Time: 0.894
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.733 MB perf.data (~32010 samples) ]
Note the use of '-c 1' to set the event period to sample. The default sample
period is quite high to minimise overhead but the information collected can be
very coarse as a result.
This record outputted a file called perf.data which can be analysed using
perf report.
$ perf report
# Samples: 30922
#
# Overhead Command Shared Object
# ........ ......... ................................
#

# (For more details, try: perf report --sort comm,dso,symbol)
#
According to this, the vast majority of events occured triggered on events
within the VDSO. With simple binaries, this will often be the case so lets
take a slightly different example. In the course of writing this, it was
noticed that X was generating an insane amount of page allocations so lets look
at it
$ perf record -c 1 -f \
-e kmem:mm_page_alloc -e kmem:mm_page_free_direct \
-e kmem:mm_pagevec_free \
-p `pidof X`
This was interrupted after a few seconds and

At a glance, it looks like the time is being spent copying pixmaps to
the card. Further investigation would be needed to determine why pixmaps
are being copied around so much but a starting point would be to take an
ancient build of libpixmap out of the library path where it was totally
forgotten about from months ago!

Some platforms support multiple huge page sizes. To preallocate huge pages
of a specific size, one must preceed the huge pages boot command parameters

be specified in bytes with optional scale suffix [kKmMgG]. The default huge

indicates that the hugetlb subsystem is allowed to try to obtain "surplus"
huge pages from the buddy allocator, when the normal pool is exhausted. As
these surplus huge pages go out of use, they are freed back to the buddy
allocator.
When increasing the huge page pool size via nr_hugepages, any surplus
pages will first be promoted to persistent huge pages. Then, additional
huge pages will be allocated, if necessary and if possible, to fulfill
the new huge page pool size.
The administrator may shrink the pool of preallocated huge pages for
the default huge page size by setting the nr_hugepages sysctl to a
smaller value. The kernel will attempt to balance the freeing of huge pages
across all on-line nodes. Any free huge pages on the selected nodes will
be freed back to the buddy allocator.
Caveat: Shrinking the pool via nr_hugepages such that it becomes less
than the number of hugepages in use will convert the balance to surplus
than the number of huge pages in use will convert the balance to surplus
huge pages even if it would exceed the overcommit value. As long as
this condition holds, however, no more surplus huge pages will be
allowed on the system until one of the two sysctls are increased
sufficiently, or the surplus huge pages go out of use and are freed.

How to use the Kernel Samepage Merging feature
----------------------------------------------
KSM is a memory-saving de-duplication feature, enabled by CONFIG_KSM=y,
added to the Linux kernel in 2.6.32. See mm/ksm.c for its implementation,
and http://lwn.net/Articles/306704/ and http://lwn.net/Articles/330589/
The KSM daemon ksmd periodically scans those areas of user memory which
have been registered with it, looking for pages of identical content which
can be replaced by a single write-protected page (which is automatically
copied if a process later wants to update its content).
KSM was originally developed for use with KVM (where it was known as
Kernel Shared Memory), to fit more virtual machines into physical memory,
by sharing the data common between them. But it can be useful to any
application which generates many instances of the same data.
KSM only merges anonymous (private) pages, never pagecache (file) pages.
KSM's merged pages are at present locked into kernel memory for as long
as they are shared: so cannot be swapped out like the user pages they
replace (but swapping KSM pages should follow soon in a later release).
KSM only operates on those areas of address space which an application
has advised to be likely candidates for merging, by using the madvise(2)
system call: int madvise(addr, length, MADV_MERGEABLE).
The app may call int madvise(addr, length, MADV_UNMERGEABLE) to cancel
that advice and restore unshared pages: whereupon KSM unmerges whatever
it merged in that range. Note: this unmerging call may suddenly require
more memory than is available - possibly failing with EAGAIN, but more
probably arousing the Out-Of-Memory killer.
If KSM is not configured into the running kernel, madvise MADV_MERGEABLE
and MADV_UNMERGEABLE simply fail with EINVAL. If the running kernel was
built with CONFIG_KSM=y, those calls will normally succeed: even if the
the KSM daemon is not currently running, MADV_MERGEABLE still registers
the range for whenever the KSM daemon is started; even if the range
cannot contain any pages which KSM could actually merge; even if
MADV_UNMERGEABLE is applied to a range which was never MADV_MERGEABLE.
Like other madvise calls, they are intended for use on mapped areas of
the user address space: they will report ENOMEM if the specified range
includes unmapped gaps (though working on the intervening mapped areas),
and might fail with EAGAIN if not enough memory for internal structures.
Applications should be considerate in their use of MADV_MERGEABLE,
restricting its use to areas likely to benefit. KSM's scans may use
a lot of processing power, and its kernel-resident pages are a limited
resource. Some installations will disable KSM for these reasons.
The KSM daemon is controlled by sysfs files in /sys/kernel/mm/ksm/,
readable by all but writable only by root:
max_kernel_pages - set to maximum number of kernel pages that KSM may use
e.g. "echo 2000 > /sys/kernel/mm/ksm/max_kernel_pages"
Value 0 imposes no limit on the kernel pages KSM may use;
but note that any process using MADV_MERGEABLE can cause
KSM to allocate these pages, unswappable until it exits.
Default: 2000 (chosen for demonstration purposes)
pages_to_scan - how many present pages to scan before ksmd goes to sleep
e.g. "echo 200 > /sys/kernel/mm/ksm/pages_to_scan"
Default: 200 (chosen for demonstration purposes)
sleep_millisecs - how many milliseconds ksmd should sleep before next scan
e.g. "echo 20 > /sys/kernel/mm/ksm/sleep_millisecs"
Default: 20 (chosen for demonstration purposes)
run - set 0 to stop ksmd from running but keep merged pages,
set 1 to run ksmd e.g. "echo 1 > /sys/kernel/mm/ksm/run",
set 2 to stop ksmd and unmerge all pages currently merged,
but leave mergeable areas registered for next run
Default: 1 (for immediate use by apps which register)
The effectiveness of KSM and MADV_MERGEABLE is shown in /sys/kernel/mm/ksm/:
pages_shared - how many shared unswappable kernel pages KSM is using
pages_sharing - how many more sites are sharing them i.e. how much saved
pages_unshared - how many pages unique but repeatedly checked for merging
pages_volatile - how many pages changing too fast to be placed in a tree
full_scans - how many times all mergeable areas have been scanned
A high ratio of pages_sharing to pages_shared indicates good sharing, but
a high ratio of pages_unshared to pages_sharing indicates wasted effort.
pages_volatile embraces several different kinds of activity, but a high
proportion there would also indicate poor use of madvise MADV_MERGEABLE.

c.) You need a second client/console system with a high speed USB 2.0
port.
d.) The Netchip device must be plugged directly into the physical
debug port on the "host/target" system. You cannot use a USB hub in
between the physical debug port and the "host/target" system.
The EHCI debug controller is bound to a specific physical USB
port and the Netchip device will only work as an early printk
device in this port. The EHCI host controllers are electrically
wired such that the EHCI debug controller is hooked up to the
first physical and there is no way to change this via software.
You can find the physical port through experimentation by trying
each physical port on the system and rebooting. Or you can try
and use lsusb or look at the kernel info messages emitted by the
usb stack when you plug a usb device into various ports on the
"host/target" system.
Some hardware vendors do not expose the usb debug port with a
physical connector and if you find such a device send a complaint
to the hardware vendor, because there is no reason not to wire
this port into one of the physically accessible ports.
e.) It is also important to note, that many versions of the Netchip
device require the "client/console" system to be plugged into the
right and side of the device (with the product logo facing up and
readable left to right). The reason being is that the 5 volt
power supply is taken from only one side of the device and it
must be the side that does not get rebooted.

On systems with more than one EHCI debug controller you must
specify the correct EHCI debug controller number. The ordering
comes from the PCI bus enumeration of the EHCI controllers. The
default with no number argument is "0" the first EHCI debug
controller. To use the second EHCI debug controller, you would
use the command line: "earlyprintk=dbgp1"
NOTE: normally earlyprintk console gets turned off once the
regular console is alive - use "earlyprintk=dbgp,keep" to keep
this channel open beyond early bootup. This can be useful for
