The usage of the word (two bytes) that "rdev -r" sets in the kernel image is "rdev" is an obsolete, deprecated, antiquated utility that could be used

14 indicates that a RAM disk is to be loaded, and bit 15 indicates whether a
prompt/wait sequence is to be given before trying to read the RAM disk. Since
the RAM disk dynamically grows as data is being written into it, a size field
is not required. Bits 11 to 13 are not currently used and may as well be zero.
These numbers are no magical secrets, as seen below::
./arch/x86/kernel/setup.c:#define RAMDISK_IMAGE_START_MASK 0x07FF Instead of using rdev, just place the boot device information on the
./arch/x86/kernel/setup.c:#define RAMDISK_PROMPT_FLAG 0x8000 kernel command line and pass it to the kernel from the bootloader.

You want bit 15 as one, indicating that you want a prompt/keypress

The command line equivalent is: "prompt_ramdisk=1"
Putting that together gives 2^15 + 2^14 + 0 = 49152 for an rdev word.
So to create disk one of the set, you would do::

The next() function should set ``*pos`` to a value that start() can use
to find the new location in the sequence. When the iterator is being
stored in the private data area, rather than being reinitialized on each
start(), it might seem sufficient to simply set ``*pos`` to any non-zero
value (zero always tells start() to restart the sequence). This is not
sufficient due to historical problems.
Historically, many next() functions have *not* updated ``*pos`` at
end-of-file. If the value is then used by start() to initialise the
iterator, this can result in corner cases where the last entry in the
sequence is reported twice in the file. In order to discourage this bug
from being resurrected, the core seq_file code now produces a warning if
a next() function does not change the value of ``*pos``. Consequently a
next() function *must* change the value of ``*pos``, and of course must
set it to a non-zero value.

********************************************************
Recipe for getting/building/running Xen/ia64 with pv_ops
********************************************************
This recipe describes how to get xen-ia64 source and build it,
and run domU with pv_ops.
Requirements
============
- python
- mercurial
it (aka "hg") is an open-source source code
management software. See the below.
http://www.selenic.com/mercurial/wiki/
- git
- bridge-utils
Getting and Building Xen and Dom0
=================================
My environment is:
- Machine : Tiger4
- Domain0 OS : RHEL5
- DomainU OS : RHEL5
1. Download source::
# hg clone http://xenbits.xensource.com/ext/ia64/xen-unstable.hg
# cd xen-unstable.hg
# hg clone http://xenbits.xensource.com/ext/ia64/linux-2.6.18-xen.hg
2. # make world
3. # make install-tools
4. copy kernels and xen::
# cp xen/xen.gz /boot/efi/efi/redhat/
# cp build-linux-2.6.18-xen_ia64/vmlinux.gz \
/boot/efi/efi/redhat/vmlinuz-2.6.18.8-xen
5. make initrd for Dom0/DomU::
# make -C linux-2.6.18-xen.hg ARCH=ia64 modules_install \
O=$(pwd)/build-linux-2.6.18-xen_ia64
# mkinitrd -f /boot/efi/efi/redhat/initrd-2.6.18.8-xen.img \
2.6.18.8-xen --builtin mptspi --builtin mptbase \
--builtin mptscsih --builtin uhci-hcd --builtin ohci-hcd \
--builtin ehci-hcd
Making a disk image for guest OS
================================
1. make file::
# dd if=/dev/zero of=/root/rhel5.img bs=1M seek=4096 count=0
# mke2fs -F -j /root/rhel5.img
# mount -o loop /root/rhel5.img /mnt
# cp -ax /{dev,var,etc,usr,bin,sbin,lib} /mnt
# mkdir /mnt/{root,proc,sys,home,tmp}
Note: You may miss some device files. If so, please create them
with mknod. Or you can use tar instead of cp.
2. modify DomU's fstab::
# vi /mnt/etc/fstab
/dev/xvda1 / ext3 defaults 1 1
none /dev/pts devpts gid=5,mode=620 0 0
none /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0
none /proc proc defaults 0 0
none /sys sysfs defaults 0 0
3. modify inittab
set runlevel to 3 to avoid X trying to start::
# vi /mnt/etc/inittab
id:3:initdefault:
Start a getty on the hvc0 console::
X0:2345:respawn:/sbin/mingetty hvc0
tty1-6 mingetty can be commented out
4. add hvc0 into /etc/securetty::
# vi /mnt/etc/securetty (add hvc0)
5. umount::
# umount /mnt
FYI, virt-manager can also make a disk image for guest OS.
It's GUI tools and easy to make it.
Boot Xen & Domain0
==================
1. replace elilo
elilo of RHEL5 can boot Xen and Dom0.
If you use old elilo (e.g RHEL4), please download from the below
http://elilo.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/blosxom
and copy into /boot/efi/efi/redhat/::
# cp elilo-3.6-ia64.efi /boot/efi/efi/redhat/elilo.efi
2. modify elilo.conf (like the below)::
# vi /boot/efi/efi/redhat/elilo.conf
prompt
timeout=20
default=xen
relocatable
image=vmlinuz-2.6.18.8-xen
label=xen
vmm=xen.gz
initrd=initrd-2.6.18.8-xen.img
read-only
append=" -- rhgb root=/dev/sda2"
The append options before "--" are for xen hypervisor,
the options after "--" are for dom0.
FYI, your machine may need console options like
"com1=19200,8n1 console=vga,com1". For example,
append="com1=19200,8n1 console=vga,com1 -- rhgb console=tty0 \
console=ttyS0 root=/dev/sda2"
Getting and Building domU with pv_ops
=====================================
1. get pv_ops tree::
# git clone http://people.valinux.co.jp/~yamahata/xen-ia64/linux-2.6-xen-ia64.git/
2. git branch (if necessary)::
# cd linux-2.6-xen-ia64/
# git checkout -b your_branch origin/xen-ia64-domu-minimal-2008may19
Note:
The current branch is xen-ia64-domu-minimal-2008may19.
But you would find the new branch. You can see with
"git branch -r" to get the branch lists.
http://people.valinux.co.jp/~yamahata/xen-ia64/for_eagl/linux-2.6-ia64-pv-ops.git/
is also available.
The tree is based on
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/aegl/linux-2.6 test)
3. copy .config for pv_ops of domU::
# cp arch/ia64/configs/xen_domu_wip_defconfig .config
4. make kernel with pv_ops::
# make oldconfig
# make
5. install the kernel and initrd::
# cp vmlinux.gz /boot/efi/efi/redhat/vmlinuz-2.6-pv_ops-xenU
# make modules_install
# mkinitrd -f /boot/efi/efi/redhat/initrd-2.6-pv_ops-xenU.img \
2.6.26-rc3xen-ia64-08941-g1b12161 --builtin mptspi \
--builtin mptbase --builtin mptscsih --builtin uhci-hcd \
--builtin ohci-hcd --builtin ehci-hcd
Boot DomainU with pv_ops
========================
1. make config of DomU::
# vi /etc/xen/rhel5
kernel = "/boot/efi/efi/redhat/vmlinuz-2.6-pv_ops-xenU"
ramdisk = "/boot/efi/efi/redhat/initrd-2.6-pv_ops-xenU.img"
vcpus = 1
memory = 512
name = "rhel5"
disk = [ 'file:/root/rhel5.img,xvda1,w' ]
root = "/dev/xvda1 ro"
extra= "rhgb console=hvc0"
2. After boot xen and dom0, start xend::
# /etc/init.d/xend start
( In the debugging case, `# XEND_DEBUG=1 xend trace_start` )
3. start domU::
# xm create -c rhel5

Modifying Patches
=================
If you are a subsystem or branch maintainer, sometimes you need to slightly
modify patches you receive in order to merge them, because the code is not
exactly the same in your tree and the submitters'. If you stick strictly to
rule (c) of the developers certificate of origin, you should ask the submitter
to rediff, but this is a totally counter-productive waste of time and energy.
Rule (b) allows you to adjust the code, but then it is very impolite to change
one submitters code and make him endorse your bugs. To solve this problem, it
is recommended that you add a line between the last Signed-off-by header and
yours, indicating the nature of your changes. While there is nothing mandatory
about this, it seems like prepending the description with your mail and/or
name, all enclosed in square brackets, is noticeable enough to make it obvious
that you are responsible for last-minute changes. Example::
Signed-off-by: Random J Developer <random@developer.example.org>
[lucky@maintainer.example.org: struct foo moved from foo.c to foo.h]
Signed-off-by: Lucky K Maintainer <lucky@maintainer.example.org>
This practice is particularly helpful if you maintain a stable branch and
want at the same time to credit the author, track changes, merge the fix,
and protect the submitter from complaints. Note that under no circumstances
can you change the author's identity (the From header), as it is the one
which appears in the changelog.
Special note to back-porters: It seems to be a common and useful practice
to insert an indication of the origin of a patch at the top of the commit
message (just after the subject line) to facilitate tracking. For instance,
here's what we see in a 3.x-stable release::
Date: Tue Oct 7 07:26:38 2014 -0400
libata: Un-break ATA blacklist
commit 1c40279960bcd7d52dbdf1d466b20d24b99176c8 upstream.
And here's what might appear in an older kernel once a patch is backported::
Date: Tue May 13 22:12:27 2008 +0200
wireless, airo: waitbusy() won't delay
[backport of 2.6 commit b7acbdfbd1f277c1eb23f344f899cfa4cd0bf36a]
Whatever the format, this information provides a valuable help to people
tracking your trees, and to people trying to troubleshoot bugs in your
tree.

an initializer. Using the uninitialized_var() macro (or similar

either simply initialize the variable or make compiler changes. Keep in
mind that in most cases, if an initialization is obviously redundant,
the compiler's dead-store elimination pass will make sure there are no
needless variable writes.

It is still possible to download kernel releases via tarballs (as described
in the next section), but that is the hard way to do kernel development.
1) ``diff -up``
---------------
If you must generate your patches by hand, use ``diff -up`` or ``diff -uprN``
to create patches. Git generates patches in this form by default; if
you're using ``git``, you can skip this section entirely.
All changes to the Linux kernel occur in the form of patches, as
generated by :manpage:`diff(1)`. When creating your patch, make sure to
create it in "unified diff" format, as supplied by the ``-u`` argument
to :manpage:`diff(1)`.
Also, please use the ``-p`` argument which shows which C function each
change is in - that makes the resultant ``diff`` a lot easier to read.
Patches should be based in the root kernel source directory,
not in any lower subdirectory.
To create a patch for a single file, it is often sufficient to do::
SRCTREE=linux
MYFILE=drivers/net/mydriver.c
cd $SRCTREE
cp $MYFILE $MYFILE.orig
vi $MYFILE # make your change
cd ..
diff -up $SRCTREE/$MYFILE{.orig,} > /tmp/patch
To create a patch for multiple files, you should unpack a "vanilla",
or unmodified kernel source tree, and generate a ``diff`` against your
own source tree. For example::
MYSRC=/devel/linux
tar xvfz linux-3.19.tar.gz
mv linux-3.19 linux-3.19-vanilla
diff -uprN -X linux-3.19-vanilla/Documentation/dontdiff \
linux-3.19-vanilla $MYSRC > /tmp/patch
``dontdiff`` is a list of files which are generated by the kernel during
the build process, and should be ignored in any :manpage:`diff(1)`-generated
patch.
Make sure your patch does not include any extra files which do not
belong in a patch submission. Make sure to review your patch -after-
generating it with :manpage:`diff(1)`, to ensure accuracy.
If your changes produce a lot of deltas, you need to split them into
individual patches which modify things in logical stages; see
:ref:`split_changes`. This will facilitate review by other kernel developers,
very important if you want your patch accepted.
If you're using ``git``, ``git rebase -i`` can help you with this process. If
you're not using ``git``, ``quilt`` <https://savannah.nongnu.org/projects/quilt>
is another popular alternative.

If you are a subsystem or branch maintainer, sometimes you need to slightly
modify patches you receive in order to merge them, because the code is not
exactly the same in your tree and the submitters'. If you stick strictly to
rule (c), you should ask the submitter to rediff, but this is a totally
counter-productive waste of time and energy. Rule (b) allows you to adjust
the code, but then it is very impolite to change one submitter's code and
make him endorse your bugs. To solve this problem, it is recommended that
you add a line between the last Signed-off-by header and yours, indicating
the nature of your changes. While there is nothing mandatory about this, it
seems like prepending the description with your mail and/or name, all
enclosed in square brackets, is noticeable enough to make it obvious that
you are responsible for last-minute changes. Example::
Signed-off-by: Random J Developer <random@developer.example.org> When to use Acked-by:, Cc:, and Co-developed-by:
[lucky@maintainer.example.org: struct foo moved from foo.c to foo.h] ------------------------------------------------
Signed-off-by: Lucky K Maintainer <lucky@maintainer.example.org>
This practice is particularly helpful if you maintain a stable branch and
want at the same time to credit the author, track changes, merge the fix,
and protect the submitter from complaints. Note that under no circumstances
can you change the author's identity (the From header), as it is the one
which appears in the changelog.
Special note to back-porters: It seems to be a common and useful practice
to insert an indication of the origin of a patch at the top of the commit
message (just after the subject line) to facilitate tracking. For instance,
here's what we see in a 3.x-stable release::
Date: Tue Oct 7 07:26:38 2014 -0400

17) Sending ``git pull`` requests
---------------------------------
If you have a series of patches, it may be most convenient to have the
maintainer pull them directly into the subsystem repository with a
``git pull`` operation. Note, however, that pulling patches from a developer
requires a higher degree of trust than taking patches from a mailing list.
As a result, many subsystem maintainers are reluctant to take pull
requests, especially from new, unknown developers. If in doubt you can use
the pull request as the cover letter for a normal posting of the patch
series, giving the maintainer the option of using either.
A pull request should have [GIT PULL] in the subject line. The
request itself should include the repository name and the branch of
interest on a single line; it should look something like::
Please pull from
git://jdelvare.pck.nerim.net/jdelvare-2.6 i2c-for-linus
to get these changes:
A pull request should also include an overall message saying what will be
included in the request, a ``git shortlog`` listing of the patches
themselves, and a ``diffstat`` showing the overall effect of the patch series.
The easiest way to get all this information together is, of course, to let
``git`` do it for you with the ``git request-pull`` command.
Some maintainers (including Linus) want to see pull requests from signed
commits; that increases their confidence that the request actually came
from you. Linus, in particular, will not pull from public hosting sites
like GitHub in the absence of a signed tag.
The first step toward creating such tags is to make a GNUPG key and get it
signed by one or more core kernel developers. This step can be hard for
new developers, but there is no way around it. Attending conferences can
be a good way to find developers who can sign your key.
Once you have prepared a patch series in ``git`` that you wish to have somebody
pull, create a signed tag with ``git tag -s``. This will create a new tag
identifying the last commit in the series and containing a signature
created with your private key. You will also have the opportunity to add a
changelog-style message to the tag; this is an ideal place to describe the
effects of the pull request as a whole.
If the tree the maintainer will be pulling from is not the repository you
are working from, don't forget to push the signed tag explicitly to the
public tree.
When generating your pull request, use the signed tag as the target. A
command like this will do the trick::
git request-pull master git://my.public.tree/linux.git my-signed-tag

AArch64 Linux 中扩展的活动监控单元
=================================
作者: Ionela Voinescu <ionela.voinescu@arm.com>
日期: 2019-09-10
本文档简要描述了 AArch64 Linux 支持的活动监控单元的规范。
架构总述
--------
活动监控是 ARMv8.4 CPU 架构引入的一个可选扩展特性。
活动监控单元(在每个 CPU 中实现)为系统管理提供了性能计数器。既可以通
过系统寄存器的方式访问计数器,同时也支持外部内存映射的方式访问计数器。
AMUv1 架构实现了一个由4个固定的64位事件计数器组成的计数器组。
- CPU 周期计数器:同 CPU 的频率增长
- 常量计数器:同固定的系统时钟频率增长
- 淘汰指令计数器: 同每次架构指令执行增长
- 内存停顿周期计数器:计算由在时钟域内的最后一级缓存中未命中而引起
的指令调度停顿周期数
当处于 WFI 或者 WFE 状态时,计数器不会增长。
AMU 架构提供了一个高达16位的事件计数器空间未来新的 AMU 版本中可能
用它来实现新增的事件计数器。
另外AMUv1 实现了一个多达16个64位辅助事件计数器的计数器组。
冷复位时所有的计数器会清零。
基本支持
--------
内核可以安全地运行在支持 AMU 和不支持 AMU 的 CPU 组合中。
因此,当配置 CONFIG_ARM64_AMU_EXTN 后我们无条件使能后续
(secondary or hotplugged) CPU 检测和使用这个特性。
当在 CPU 上检测到该特性时,我们会标记为特性可用但是不能保证计数器的功能,
仅表明有扩展属性。
固件(代码运行在高异常级别,例如 arm-tf )需支持以下功能:
- 提供低异常级别(EL2 和 EL1)访问 AMU 寄存器的能力。
- 使能计数器。如果未使能,它的值应为 0。
- 在从电源关闭状态启动 CPU 前或后保存或者恢复计数器。
当使用使能了该特性的内核启动但固件损坏时,访问计数器寄存器可能会遭遇
panic 或者死锁。即使未发现这些症状,计数器寄存器返回的数据结果并不一
定能反映真实情况。通常,计数器会返回 0表明他们未被使能。
如果固件没有提供适当的支持最好关闭 CONFIG_ARM64_AMU_EXTN。
值得注意的是,出于安全原因,不要绕过 AMUSERRENR_EL0 设置而捕获从
EL0(用户空间) 访问 EL1(内核空间)。 因此,固件应该确保访问 AMU寄存器
不会困在 EL2或EL3。
AMUv1 的固定计数器可以通过如下系统寄存器访问:
- SYS_AMEVCNTR0_CORE_EL0
- SYS_AMEVCNTR0_CONST_EL0
- SYS_AMEVCNTR0_INST_RET_EL0
- SYS_AMEVCNTR0_MEM_STALL_EL0
特定辅助计数器可以通过 SYS_AMEVCNTR1_EL0(n) 访问其中n介于0到15。
详细信息定义在目录arch/arm64/include/asm/sysreg.h。
用户空间访问
------------
由于以下原因,当前禁止从用户空间访问 AMU 的寄存器:
- 安全因数:可能会暴露处于安全模式执行的代码信息。
- 意愿AMU 是用于系统管理的。
同样,该功能对用户空间不可见。
虚拟化
------
由于以下原因,当前禁止从 KVM 客户端的用户空间(EL0)和内核空间(EL1)
访问 AMU 的寄存器:
- 安全因数:可能会暴露给其他客户端或主机端执行的代码信息。
任何试图访问 AMU 寄存器的行为都会触发一个注册在客户端的未定义异常。

Migration to and from device memory Migration to and from device memory
=================================== ===================================
Because the CPU cannot access device memory, migration must use the device DMA Because the CPU cannot access device memory directly, the device driver must
engine to perform copy from and to device memory. For this we need to use use hardware DMA or device specific load/store instructions to migrate data.
migrate_vma_setup(), migrate_vma_pages(), and migrate_vma_finalize() helpers. The migrate_vma_setup(), migrate_vma_pages(), and migrate_vma_finalize()
functions are designed to make drivers easier to write and to centralize common
code across drivers.
Before migrating pages to device private memory, special device private
``struct page`` need to be created. These will be used as special "swap"
page table entries so that a CPU process will fault if it tries to access
a page that has been migrated to device private memory.
These can be allocated and freed with::
struct resource *res;
struct dev_pagemap pagemap;
res = request_free_mem_region(&iomem_resource, /* number of bytes */,
"name of driver resource");

There are also devm_request_free_mem_region(), devm_memremap_pages(),
devm_memunmap_pages(), and devm_release_mem_region() when the resources can
be tied to a ``struct device``.
The overall migration steps are similar to migrating NUMA pages within system
memory (see :ref:`Page migration <page_migration>`) but the steps are split
between device driver specific code and shared common code:
1. ``mmap_read_lock()``
The device driver has to pass a ``struct vm_area_struct`` to
migrate_vma_setup() so the mmap_read_lock() or mmap_write_lock() needs to
be held for the duration of the migration.
2. ``migrate_vma_setup(struct migrate_vma *args)``
The device driver initializes the ``struct migrate_vma`` fields and passes
the pointer to migrate_vma_setup(). The ``args->flags`` field is used to
filter which source pages should be migrated. For example, setting
``MIGRATE_VMA_SELECT_SYSTEM`` will only migrate system memory and
``MIGRATE_VMA_SELECT_DEVICE_PRIVATE`` will only migrate pages residing in
device private memory. If the latter flag is set, the ``args->pgmap_owner``
field is used to identify device private pages owned by the driver. This
avoids trying to migrate device private pages residing in other devices.
Currently only anonymous private VMA ranges can be migrated to or from
system memory and device private memory.
One of the first steps migrate_vma_setup() does is to invalidate other
device's MMUs with the ``mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_start(()`` and
``mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_end()`` calls around the page table
walks to fill in the ``args->src`` array with PFNs to be migrated.
The ``invalidate_range_start()`` callback is passed a
``struct mmu_notifier_range`` with the ``event`` field set to
``MMU_NOTIFY_MIGRATE`` and the ``migrate_pgmap_owner`` field set to
the ``args->pgmap_owner`` field passed to migrate_vma_setup(). This is
allows the device driver to skip the invalidation callback and only
invalidate device private MMU mappings that are actually migrating.
This is explained more in the next section.
While walking the page tables, a ``pte_none()`` or ``is_zero_pfn()``
entry results in a valid "zero" PFN stored in the ``args->src`` array.
This lets the driver allocate device private memory and clear it instead
of copying a page of zeros. Valid PTE entries to system memory or
device private struct pages will be locked with ``lock_page()``, isolated
from the LRU (if system memory since device private pages are not on
the LRU), unmapped from the process, and a special migration PTE is
inserted in place of the original PTE.
migrate_vma_setup() also clears the ``args->dst`` array.
3. The device driver allocates destination pages and copies source pages to
destination pages.
The driver checks each ``src`` entry to see if the ``MIGRATE_PFN_MIGRATE``
bit is set and skips entries that are not migrating. The device driver
can also choose to skip migrating a page by not filling in the ``dst``
array for that page.
The driver then allocates either a device private struct page or a
system memory page, locks the page with ``lock_page()``, and fills in the
``dst`` array entry with::
dst[i] = migrate_pfn(page_to_pfn(dpage)) | MIGRATE_PFN_LOCKED;
Now that the driver knows that this page is being migrated, it can
invalidate device private MMU mappings and copy device private memory
to system memory or another device private page. The core Linux kernel
handles CPU page table invalidations so the device driver only has to
invalidate its own MMU mappings.
The driver can use ``migrate_pfn_to_page(src[i])`` to get the
``struct page`` of the source and either copy the source page to the
destination or clear the destination device private memory if the pointer
is ``NULL`` meaning the source page was not populated in system memory.
4. ``migrate_vma_pages()``
This step is where the migration is actually "committed".
If the source page was a ``pte_none()`` or ``is_zero_pfn()`` page, this
is where the newly allocated page is inserted into the CPU's page table.
This can fail if a CPU thread faults on the same page. However, the page
table is locked and only one of the new pages will be inserted.
The device driver will see that the ``MIGRATE_PFN_MIGRATE`` bit is cleared
if it loses the race.
If the source page was locked, isolated, etc. the source ``struct page``
information is now copied to destination ``struct page`` finalizing the
migration on the CPU side.
5. Device driver updates device MMU page tables for pages still migrating,
rolling back pages not migrating.
If the ``src`` entry still has ``MIGRATE_PFN_MIGRATE`` bit set, the device
driver can update the device MMU and set the write enable bit if the
``MIGRATE_PFN_WRITE`` bit is set.
6. ``migrate_vma_finalize()``
This step replaces the special migration page table entry with the new
page's page table entry and releases the reference to the source and
destination ``struct page``.
7. ``mmap_read_unlock()``
The lock can now be released.
