Pull documentation updates from Jonathan Corbet:
 "This was a moderately busy cycle for documentation, but nothing
  all that earth-shaking:

   - More Chinese translations, and an update to the Italian
     translations.

     The Japanese, Korean, and traditional Chinese translations
     are more-or-less unmaintained at this point, instead.

   - Some build-system performance improvements.

   - The removal of the archaic submitting-drivers.rst document,
     with the movement of what useful material that remained into
     other docs.

   - Improvements to sphinx-pre-install to, hopefully, give more
     useful suggestions.

   - A number of build-warning fixes

  Plus the usual collection of typo fixes, updates, and more"

-Submitting Drivers For The Linux Kernel
-=======================================
-
-This document is intended to explain how to submit device drivers to the
-various kernel trees. Note that if you are interested in video card drivers
-you should probably talk to XFree86 (https://www.xfree86.org/) and/or X.Org
-(https://x.org/) instead.
-
-.. note::
-
-   This document is old and has seen little maintenance in recent years; it
-   should probably be updated or, perhaps better, just deleted.  Most of
-   what is here can be found in the other development documents anyway.
-
-   Oh, and we don't really recommend submitting changes to XFree86 :)
-
-Also read the :ref:`Documentation/process/submitting-patches.rst <submittingpatches>`
-document.
-
-
-Allocating Device Numbers
--------------------------
-
-Major and minor numbers for block and character devices are allocated
-by the Linux assigned name and number authority (currently this is
-Torben Mathiasen). The site is https://www.lanana.org/. This
-also deals with allocating numbers for devices that are not going to
-be submitted to the mainstream kernel.
-See :ref:`Documentation/admin-guide/devices.rst <admin_devices>`
-for more information on this.
-
-If you don't use assigned numbers then when your device is submitted it will
-be given an assigned number even if that is different from values you may
-have shipped to customers before.
-
-Who To Submit Drivers To
-------------------------
-
-Linux 2.0:
-	No new drivers are accepted for this kernel tree.
-
-Linux 2.2:
-	No new drivers are accepted for this kernel tree.
-
-Linux 2.4:
-	If the code area has a general maintainer then please submit it to
-	the maintainer listed in MAINTAINERS in the kernel file. If the
-	maintainer does not respond or you cannot find the appropriate
-	maintainer then please contact Willy Tarreau <w@1wt.eu>.
-
-Linux 2.6 and upper:
-	The same rules apply as 2.4 except that you should follow linux-kernel
-	to track changes in API's. The final contact point for Linux 2.6+
-	submissions is Andrew Morton.
-
-What Criteria Determine Acceptance
-----------------------------------
-
-Licensing:
-		The code must be released to us under the
-		GNU General Public License. If you wish the driver to be
-		useful to other communities such as BSD you may release
-		under multiple licenses. If you choose to release under
-		licenses other than the GPL, you should include your
-		rationale for your license choices in your cover letter.
-		See accepted licenses at include/linux/module.h
-
-Copyright:
-		The copyright owner must agree to use of GPL.
-		It's best if the submitter and copyright owner
-		are the same person/entity. If not, the name of
-		the person/entity authorizing use of GPL should be
-		listed in case it's necessary to verify the will of
-		the copyright owner.
-
-Interfaces:
-		If your driver uses existing interfaces and behaves like
-		other drivers in the same class it will be much more likely
-		to be accepted than if it invents gratuitous new ones.
-		If you need to implement a common API over Linux and NT
-		drivers do it in userspace.
-
-Code:
-		Please use the Linux style of code formatting as documented
-		in :ref:`Documentation/process/coding-style.rst <codingStyle>`.
-		If you have sections of code
-		that need to be in other formats, for example because they
-		are shared with a windows driver kit and you want to
-		maintain them just once separate them out nicely and note
-		this fact.
-
-Portability:
-		Pointers are not always 32bits, not all computers are little
-		endian, people do not all have floating point and you
-		shouldn't use inline x86 assembler in your driver without
-		careful thought. Pure x86 drivers generally are not popular.
-		If you only have x86 hardware it is hard to test portability
-		but it is easy to make sure the code can easily be made
-		portable.
-
-Clarity:
-		It helps if anyone can see how to fix the driver. It helps
-		you because you get patches not bug reports. If you submit a
-		driver that intentionally obfuscates how the hardware works
-		it will go in the bitbucket.
-
-PM support:
-		Since Linux is used on many portable and desktop systems, your
-		driver is likely to be used on such a system and therefore it
-		should support basic power management by implementing, if
-		necessary, the .suspend and .resume methods used during the
-		system-wide suspend and resume transitions.  You should verify
-		that your driver correctly handles the suspend and resume, but
-		if you are unable to ensure that, please at least define the
-		.suspend method returning the -ENOSYS ("Function not
-		implemented") error.  You should also try to make sure that your
-		driver uses as little power as possible when it's not doing
-		anything.  For the driver testing instructions see
-		Documentation/power/drivers-testing.rst and for a relatively
-		complete overview of the power management issues related to
-		drivers see :ref:`Documentation/driver-api/pm/devices.rst <driverapi_pm_devices>`.
-
-Control:
-		In general if there is active maintenance of a driver by
-		the author then patches will be redirected to them unless
-		they are totally obvious and without need of checking.
-		If you want to be the contact and update point for the
-		driver it is a good idea to state this in the comments,
-		and include an entry in MAINTAINERS for your driver.
-
-What Criteria Do Not Determine Acceptance
------------------------------------------
-
-Vendor:
-		Being the hardware vendor and maintaining the driver is
-		often a good thing. If there is a stable working driver from
-		other people already in the tree don't expect 'we are the
-		vendor' to get your driver chosen. Ideally work with the
-		existing driver author to build a single perfect driver.
-
-Author:
-		It doesn't matter if a large Linux company wrote the driver,
-		or you did. Nobody has any special access to the kernel
-		tree. Anyone who tells you otherwise isn't telling the
-		whole story.

 Nei prototipi di funzione, includete i nomi dei parametri e i loro tipi.

 perché è un modo semplice per aggiungere informazioni importanti per il
 lettore.
 
-Non usate la parola chiave ``extern`` coi prototipi di funzione perché
+Non usate la parola chiave ``extern`` con le dichiarazioni di funzione perché
 rende le righe più lunghe e non è strettamente necessario.
 
+Quando scrivete i prototipi di funzione mantenete `l'ordine degli elementi <https://lore.kernel.org/mm-commits/CAHk-=wiOCLRny5aifWNhr621kYrJwhfURsa0vFPeUEm8mF0ufg@mail.gmail.com/>`_.
+
+Prendiamo questa dichiarazione di funzione come esempio::
+
+ __init void * __must_check action(enum magic value, size_t size, u8 count,
+                                  char *fmt, ...) __printf(4, 5) __malloc;
+
+L'ordine suggerito per gli elementi di un prototipo di funzione è il seguente:
+
+- classe d'archiviazione (in questo caso ``static __always_inline``. Da notare
+  che ``__always_inline`` è tecnicamente un attributo ma che viene trattato come
+  ``inline``)
+- attributi della classe di archiviazione (in questo caso ``__init``, in altre
+  parole la sezione, ma anche cose tipo ``__cold``)
+- il tipo di ritorno (in questo caso, ``void *``)
+- attributi per il valore di ritorno (in questo caso, ``__must_check``)
+- il nome della funzione (in questo caso, ``action``)
+- i parametri della funzione(in questo caso,
+  ``(enum magic value, size_t size, u8 count, char *fmt, ...)``,
+  da notare che va messo anche il nome del parametro)
+- attributi dei parametri (in questo caso, ``__printf(4, 5)``)
+- attributi per il comportamento della funzione (in questo caso, ``__malloc_``)
+
+Notate che per la **definizione** di una funzione (il altre parole il corpo
+della funzione), il compilatore non permette di usare gli attributi per i
+parametri dopo i parametri. In questi casi, devono essere messi dopo gli
+attributi della classe d'archiviazione (notate che la posizione di
+``__printf(4,5)`` cambia rispetto alla **dichiarazione**)::

+软件的许多其他接口之一的变化。但请记住，前述例子中的5.14需要使用类似于5.13的
+配置构建。这可以用 ``make olddefconfig`` 实现，详细解释见下。
+
+注意本节第一句话中的“实例”：即使开发者需要遵循“无回归”规则，但仍可自由地改
+变内核的任何方面，甚至是导出到用户空间的API或ABI，只要别破坏现有的应用程序或
+用例。
+
+还需注意，“无回归”规则只限制内核提供给用户空间的接口。它不适用于内核内部接
+口，比如一些外部开发的驱动程序用来插入钩子到内核的模块API。
+
+如何报告回归？
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+只需按照 Documentation/translations/zh_CN/admin-guide/reporting-issues.rst 中
+所说的报告你的问题，该文档已经包含了要点。下面几点概述了一下只在回归中重要的
+方面：
+
+ * 在检查可加入讨论的现有报告时，别忘了搜索 `Linux回归邮件列表
+   <https://lore.kernel.org/regressions/>`_ 和 `regzbot网页界面
+   <https://linux-regtracking.leemhuis.info/regzbot/>`_ 。
+
+ * 在报告主题的开头加上“[REGRESSION]”。
+
+ * 在你的报告中明确最后一个正常工作的内核版本和首个出问题的版本。如若可能，
+   用二分法尝试找出导致回归的变更，更多细节见下。
+
+ * 记得把报告发到Linux回归邮件列表（regressions@lists.linux.dev）。
+
+   * 如果通过邮件报告回归，请抄送回归列表。
+
+   * 如果你使用某些缺陷追踪器报告回归，请通过邮件转发已提交的报告到回归列表，
+     并抄送维护者以及出问题的相关子系统的邮件列表。
+
+   如果是稳定版或长期支持版系列（如v5.15.3…v5.15.5）的回归，请记得抄送
+   `Linux稳定版邮件列表 <https://lore.kernel.org/stable/>`_ （stable@vger.kernel.org）。
+
+  如果你成功地执行了二分，请抄送肇事提交的信息中所有签了“Signed-off-by:”的人。
+
+在抄送你的报告到列表时，也请记得通知前述的Linux内核回归追踪机器人。只需在邮件
+中包含如下片段::
+
+       #regzbot introduced: v5.13..v5.14-rc1
+
+Regzbot会就将你的邮件视为在某个特定版本区间的回归报告。上例中即linux v5.13仍
+然正常，而Linux 5.14-rc1是首个您遇到问题的版本。如果你执行了二分以查找导致回
+归的提交，请使用指定肇事提交的id代替::
+
+       #regzbot introduced: 1f2e3d4c5d
+
+添加这样的“regzbot命令”对你是有好处的，它会确保报告不会被忽略。如果你省略了
+它，Linux内核的回归跟踪者会把你的回归告诉regzbot，只要你发送了一个副本到回归
+邮件列表。但是回归跟踪者只有一个人，有时不得不休息或甚至偶尔享受可以远离电脑
+的时光（听起来很疯狂）。因此，依赖此人手动将回归添加到 `已追踪且尚未解决的
+Linux内核回归列表 <https://linux-regtracking.leemhuis.info/regzbot/>`_ 和
+regzbot发送的每周回归报告，可能会出现延迟。 这样的延误会导致Linus Torvalds
+在决定“继续开发还是发布新版本？”时忽略严重的回归。
+
+真的修复了所有的回归吗？
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+几乎所有都是，只要引起问题的变更（肇事提交）被可靠定位。也有些回归可以不用这
+样，但通常是必须的。
+
+谁需要找出回归的根本原因？
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+受影响代码区域的开发者应该自行尝试定位问题所在。但仅靠他们的努力往往是不可
+能做到的，很多问题只发生在开发者的无法接触的其他特定外部环境中——例如特定的
+硬件平台、固件、Linux发行版、系统的配置或应用程序。这就是为什么最终往往是报
+告者定位肇事提交；有时用户甚至需要再运行额外测试以查明确切的根本原因。开发
+者应该提供建议和可能的帮助，以使普通用户更容易完成该流程。
+
+如何找到罪魁祸首？
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+如 Documentation/translations/zh_CN/admin-guide/reporting-issues.rst （简要）
+和 Documentation/translations/zh_CN/admin-guide/bug-bisect.rst （详细）中所
+述，执行二分。听起来工作量很大，但大部分情况下很快就能找到罪魁祸首。如果这很
+困难或可靠地重现问题很耗时，请考虑与其他受影响的用户合作，一起缩小搜索范围。
+
+当出现回归时我可以向谁寻求建议？
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+发送邮件到回归邮件列表（regressions@lists.linux.dev）同时抄送Linux内核的回归
+跟踪者（regressions@leemhuis.info）;如果问题需要保密处理，可以省略列表。
+
+
+关于回归的更多细节
+------------------
+
+
+“无回归规则”的目标是什么？
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+用户应该放心升级内核版本，而不必担心有程序可能崩溃。这符合内核开发者的利益，
+可以使更新有吸引力：他们不希望用户停留在停止维护或超过一年半的稳定/长期Linux
+版本系列上。这也符合所有人的利益，因为 `那些系列可能含有已知的缺陷、安全问题
+或其他后续版本已经修复的问题
+<http://www.kroah.com/log/blog/2018/08/24/what-stable-kernel-should-i-use/>`_ 。
+此外，内核开发者希望使用户测试最新的预发行版或常规发行版变得简单而有吸引力。
+这同样符合所有人的利益，如果新版本出来后很快就有相关报告，会使追踪和修复问题
+更容易。
+
+实际中“无回归”规则真的可行吗？
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+这不是句玩笑话，请见Linux创建者和主要开发人员Linus Torvalds在邮件列表中的许
+多发言，其中一些在 Documentation/process/handling-regressions.rst 中被引用。
+
+此规则的例外情况极为罕见；之前当开发者认为某个特定的情况有必要援引例外时，
+基本都被证明错了。
+
+谁来确保“无回归”被落实？
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+照看和支撑树的子系统维护者应该关心这一点——例如，Linus Torvalds之于主线，
+Greg Kroah-Hartman等人之于各种稳定/长期系列。
+
+他们都得到了别人的帮助，以确保回归报告不会被遗漏。其中之一是Thorsten
+Leemhuis，他目前担任Linux内核的“回归跟踪者”；为了做好这项工作，他使用了
+regzbot——Linux内核回归跟踪机器人。所以这就是为什么要抄送或转发你的报告到
+回归邮件列表来通知这些人，已经最好在你的邮件中包含“regzbot命令”来立即追踪它。
+
+回归通常多久能修复？
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+开发者应该尽快修复任何被报告的回归，以提供及时为受影响的用户提供解决方案，并
+防止更多用户遇到问题；然而，开发人员需要花足够的时间和注意力确保回归修复不会
+造成额外的损害。
+
+因此，答案取决于各种因素，如回归的影响、存在时长或出现于哪个Linux版本系列。
+但最终，大多数的回归应该在两周内修复。
+
+当问题可以通过升级某些软件解决时，是回归吗？
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+基本都是。如果开发人员告诉您其他情况，请咨询上述回归跟踪者。
+
+当新内核变慢或能耗增加，是回归吗？
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+是的，但有一些差别。在微型基准测试中变慢5%不太可能被视为回归，除非它也会对
+广泛基准测试的结果产生超过1%的影响。如果有疑问，请寻求建议。
+
+当更新Linux时外部内核模块崩溃了，是回归吗？
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+不，因为“无回归”规则仅限于Linux内核提供给用户空间的接口和服务。因此，它不包括
+构建或运行外部开发的内核模块，因为它们在内核空间中运行与挂进内核使用的内部接
+口偶尔会变化。
+
+如何处理安全修复引起的回归？
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+在极为罕见的情况下，安全问题无法在不引起回归的情况下修复；这些修复都被放弃了，
+因为它们终究会引起问题。幸运的是这种两难境地基本都可以避免，受影响区域的主要
+开发者以及Linus Torvalds本人通常都会努力在不引入回归的情况下解决安全问题。
+
+如果你仍然面临此种情况，请查看邮件列表档案是否有人尽力避免过回归。如果没有，
+请报告它；如有疑问，请如上所述寻求建议。
+
+当修复回归时不可避免会引入另一个，如何处理？
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+很遗憾这种事确实会出现，但幸运的是并不经常出现；如果发生了，受影响代码区的资
+深开发者应当调查该问题以找到避免回归的解决方法，至少避免它们的影响。如果你遇
+到这样的情况，如上所述：检查之前的讨论是否有人已经尽了最大努力，如有疑问请寻
+求建议。
+
+小提示：如果人们在每个开发周期中定期给出主线预发布（即v5.15-rc1或-rc3）以供
+测试，则可以避免这种情况。为了更好地解释，可以设想一个在Linux v5.14和v5.15-rc1
+之间集成的更改，该更改导致了回归，但同时是应用于5.15-rc1的其他改进的强依赖。
+如果有人在5.15发布之前就发现并报告了这个问题，那么所有更改都可以直接撤销，从
+而解决回归问题。而就在几天或几周后，此解决方案变成了不可能，因为一些软件可能
+已经开始依赖于后续更改之一：撤销所有更改将导致上述用户软件出现回归，这是不可
+接受的。
+
+若我所依赖的功能在数月前被移除了，是回归吗？
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+是的，但如前节所述，通常很难修复此类回归。因此需要逐案处理。这也是定期测试主
+线预发布对所有人有好处的另一个原因。
+
+如果我似乎是唯一受影响的人，是否仍适用“无回归”规则？
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+适用，但仅限于实际使用：Linux开发人员希望能够自由地取消那些只能在阁楼和博物
+馆中找到的硬件的支持。
+
+请注意，有时为了取得进展，不得不出现回归——后者也是防止Linux停滞不前所必需
+的。因此如果回归所影响的用户很少，那么为了他们和其他人更大的利益，还是让事情
+过去吧。尤其是存在某种规避回归的简单方法，例如更新一些软件或者使用专门为此目
+的创建的内核参数。
+
+回归规则是否也适用于staging树中的代码？
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+不，参见 `适用于所有staging代码配置选项的帮助文本
+<https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/drivers/staging/Kconfig>`_ ，
+其早已声明::
+
+       请注意：这些驱动正在积极开发中，可能无法正常工作，并可能包含会在不久的
+       将来发生变化的用户接口。
+
+虽然staging开发人员通常坚持“无回归”的原则，但有时为了取得进展也会违背它。这就
+是为什么当staging树的WiFi驱动被基本推倒重来时，有些用户不得不处理回归（通常可
+以忽略）。
+
+为什么较新版本必须“使用相似配置编译”？
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+因为Linux内核开发人员有时会集成已知的会导致回归的变更，但使它们成为可选的，并
+在内核的默认配置下禁用它们。这一技巧允许进步，否则“无回归”规则将导致停滞。
+
+例如，试想一个新的可以阻止恶意软件滥用某个内核的接口的安全特性，同时又需要满足
+另一个很罕见的应用程序。上述的方法可使两方都满意：使用这些应用程序的人可以关闭
+新的安全功能，而其他不会遇到麻烦的人可以启用它。
+
+如何创建与旧内核相似的配置？
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+用一个已知良好的内核启动机器，并用 ``make olddefconfig`` 配置新版的Linux。这
+会让内核的构建脚本从正在运行的内核中摘录配置文件（“.config”文件），作为即将编
+译的新版本的基础配置；同时将所有新的配置选项设为默认值，以禁用可能导致回归的
+新功能。
+
+如何报告在预编译的普通内核中发现的回归？
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+您需要确保新的内核是用与旧版相似的配置编译（见上文），因为那些构建它们的人可
+能启用了一些已知的与新内核不兼容的特性。如有疑问，请向内核的提供者报告问题并
+寻求建议。
+
+
+用“regzbot”追踪回归的更多信息
+-----------------------------
+
+什么是回归追踪？为啥我需要关心它？
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+像“无回归”这样的规则需要有人来确保它们被遵守，否则会被有意/无意打破。历史证
+明了这一点对于Linux内核开发也适用。这就是为什么Linux内核的回归跟踪者Thorsten
+Leemhuis，，和另一些人尽力关注所有的回归直到他们解决。他们从未为此获得报酬，
+因此这项工作是在尽最大努力的基础上完成的。
+
+为什么/如何使用机器人追踪Linux内核回归？
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+由于Linux内核开发过程的分布式和松散结构，完全手动跟踪回归已经被证明是相当困难
+的。因此Linux内核的回归跟踪者开发了regzbot来促进这项工作，其长期目标是尽可能为
+所有相关人员自动化回归跟踪。
+
+Regzbot通过监视跟踪的回归报告的回复来工作。此外，它还查找用“Link:”标签引用这
+些报告的补丁；对这些补丁的回复也会被跟踪。结合这些数据，可以很好地了解当前修
+复过程的状态。
+
+如何查看regzbot当前追踪的回归？
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+参见 `regzbot在线 <https://linux-regtracking.leemhuis.info/regzbot/>`_ 。
+
+何种问题可以由regzbot追踪？
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+该机器人只为了跟踪回归，因此请不要让regzbot涉及常规问题。但是对于Linux内核的
+回归跟踪者来说，让regzbot跟踪严重问题也可以，如有关挂起、损坏数据或内部错误
+（Panic、Oops、BUG（）、warning…）的报告。
+
+如何修改被追踪回归的相关信息？
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+在直接或间接回复报告邮件时使用“regzbot命令”即可。最简单的方法是：在“已发送”文
+件夹或邮件列表存档中找到报告，然后使用邮件客户端的“全部回复”功能对其进行回复。
+在该邮件中的独立段落中可使用以下命令之一（即使用空行将这些命令中的一个或多个与
+其余邮件文本分隔开）。
+
+ * 更新回归引入起点，例如在执行二分之后::
+
+       #regzbot introduced: 1f2e3d4c5d
+
+ * 设置或更新标题::
+
+       #regzbot title: foo
+
+ * 监视讨论或bugzilla.kernel.org上有关讨论或修复的工单::
+
+       #regzbot monitor: https://lore.kernel.org/r/30th.anniversary.repost@klaava.Helsinki.FI/
+       #regzbot monitor: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=123456789
+
+ * 标记一个有更多相关细节的地方，例如有关但主题不同的邮件列表帖子或缺陷追踪器中的工单::
+
+       #regzbot link: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=123456789
+
+ * 标记回归已失效::
+
+       #regzbot invalid: wasn't a regression, problem has always existed
+
+Regzbot还支持其他一些主要由开发人员或回归追踪人员使用的命令。命令的更多细节请
+参考 `入门指南 <https://gitlab.com/knurd42/regzbot/-/blob/main/docs/getting_started.md>`_
+和 `参考手册 <https://gitlab.com/knurd42/regzbot/-/blob/main/docs/reference.md>`_ 。

-使用热插拔API
--------------
+CPU热插拔API
+============
+
+CPU热拔插状态机
+---------------
+
+CPU热插拔使用一个从CPUHP_OFFLINE到CPUHP_ONLINE的线性状态空间的普通状态机。每个状态都
+有一个startup和teardown的回调。
+
+当一个CPU上线时，将按顺序调用startup回调，直到达到CPUHP_ONLINE状态。当设置状态的回调
+或将实例添加到多实例状态时，也可以调用它们。
+
+当一个CPU下线时，将按相反的顺序依次调用teardown回调，直到达到CPUHP_OFFLINE状态。当删
+除状态的回调或从多实例状态中删除实例时，也可以调用它们。
+
+如果某个使用场景只需要一个方向的热插拔操作回调（CPU上线或CPU下线），则在设置状态时，
+可以将另一个不需要的回调设置为NULL。
+
+状态空间被划分成三个阶段:
+
+* PREPARE阶段
+
+  PREPARE阶段涵盖了从CPUHP_OFFLINE到CPUHP_BRINGUP_CPU之间的状态空间。
+
+  在该阶段中，startup回调在CPU上线操作启动CPU之前被调用，teardown回调在CPU下线操作使
+  CPU功能失效之后被调用。
+
+  这些回调是在控制CPU上调用的，因为它们显然不能在热插拔的CPU上运行，此时热插拔的CPU要
+  么还没有启动，要么已经功能失效。
+
+  startup回调用于设置CPU成功上线所需要的资源。teardown回调用于释放资源或在热插拔的CPU
+  功能失效后，将待处理的工作转移到在线的CPU上。
+
+  允许startup回调失败。如果回调失败，CPU上线操作被中止，CPU将再次被降到之前的状态（通
+  常是CPUHP_OFFLINE）。
+
+  本阶段中的teardown回调不允许失败。
+
+* STARTING阶段
+
+  STARTING阶段涵盖了CPUHP_BRINGUP_CPU + 1到CPUHP_AP_ONLINE之间的状态空间。
+
+  该阶段中的startup回调是在早期CPU设置代码中的CPU上线操作期间，禁用中断的情况下在热拔
+  插的CPU上被调用。teardown回调是在CPU完全关闭前不久的CPU下线操作期间，禁用中断的情况
+  下在热拔插的CPU上被调用。
+
+  该阶段中的回调不允许失败。
+
+  回调用于低级别的硬件初始化/关机和核心子系统。
+
+* ONLINE阶段
+
+  ONLINE阶段涵盖了CPUHP_AP_ONLINE + 1到CPUHP_ONLINE之间的状态空间。
+
+  该阶段中的startup回调是在CPU上线时在热插拔的CPU上调用的。teardown回调是在CPU下线操
+  作时在热插拔CPU上调用的。
+
+  回调是在每个CPU热插拔线程的上下文中调用的，该线程绑定在热插拔的CPU上。回调是在启用
+  中断和抢占的情况下调用的。
+
+  允许回调失败。如果回调失败，CPU热插拔操作被中止，CPU将恢复到之前的状态。
+
+CPU 上线/下线操作
+-----------------
+
+一个成功的上线操作如下::
+
+  [CPUHP_OFFLINE]
+  [CPUHP_OFFLINE + 1]->startup()       -> 成功
+  [CPUHP_OFFLINE + 2]->startup()       -> 成功
+  [CPUHP_OFFLINE + 3]                  -> 略过，因为startup == NULL
+  ...
+  [CPUHP_BRINGUP_CPU]->startup()       -> 成功
+  === PREPARE阶段结束
+  [CPUHP_BRINGUP_CPU + 1]->startup()   -> 成功
+  ...
+  [CPUHP_AP_ONLINE]->startup()         -> 成功
+  === STARTUP阶段结束
+  [CPUHP_AP_ONLINE + 1]->startup()     -> 成功
+  ...
+  [CPUHP_ONLINE - 1]->startup()        -> 成功
+  [CPUHP_ONLINE]
+
+一个成功的下线操作如下::
+
+  [CPUHP_ONLINE]
+  [CPUHP_ONLINE - 1]->teardown()       -> 成功
+  ...
+  [CPUHP_AP_ONLINE + 1]->teardown()    -> 成功
+  === STARTUP阶段开始
+  [CPUHP_AP_ONLINE]->teardown()        -> 成功
+  ...
+  [CPUHP_BRINGUP_ONLINE - 1]->teardown()
+  ...
+  === PREPARE阶段开始
+  [CPUHP_BRINGUP_CPU]->teardown()
+  [CPUHP_OFFLINE + 3]->teardown()
+  [CPUHP_OFFLINE + 2]                  -> 略过，因为teardown == NULL
+  [CPUHP_OFFLINE + 1]->teardown()
+  [CPUHP_OFFLINE]
+
+一个失败的上线操作如下::
+
+  [CPUHP_OFFLINE]
+  [CPUHP_OFFLINE + 1]->startup()       -> 成功
+  [CPUHP_OFFLINE + 2]->startup()       -> 成功
+  [CPUHP_OFFLINE + 3]                  -> 略过，因为startup == NULL
+  ...
+  [CPUHP_BRINGUP_CPU]->startup()       -> 成功
+  === PREPARE阶段结束
+  [CPUHP_BRINGUP_CPU + 1]->startup()   -> 成功
+  ...
+  [CPUHP_AP_ONLINE]->startup()         -> 成功
+  === STARTUP阶段结束
+  [CPUHP_AP_ONLINE + 1]->startup()     -> 成功
+  ---
+  [CPUHP_AP_ONLINE + N]->startup()     -> 失败
+  [CPUHP_AP_ONLINE + (N - 1)]->teardown()
+  ...
+  [CPUHP_AP_ONLINE + 1]->teardown()
+  === STARTUP阶段开始
+  [CPUHP_AP_ONLINE]->teardown()
+  ...
+  [CPUHP_BRINGUP_ONLINE - 1]->teardown()
+  ...
+  === PREPARE阶段开始
+  [CPUHP_BRINGUP_CPU]->teardown()
+  [CPUHP_OFFLINE + 3]->teardown()
+  [CPUHP_OFFLINE + 2]                  -> 略过，因为teardown == NULL
+  [CPUHP_OFFLINE + 1]->teardown()
+  [CPUHP_OFFLINE]
+
+一个失败的下线操作如下::
+
+  [CPUHP_ONLINE]
+  [CPUHP_ONLINE - 1]->teardown()       -> 成功
+  ...
+  [CPUHP_ONLINE - N]->teardown()       -> 失败
+  [CPUHP_ONLINE - (N - 1)]->startup()
+  ...
+  [CPUHP_ONLINE - 1]->startup()
+  [CPUHP_ONLINE]
+
+递归失败不能被合理地处理。
+请看下面的例子，由于下线操作失败而导致的递归失败::
+
+  [CPUHP_ONLINE]
+  [CPUHP_ONLINE - 1]->teardown()       -> 成功
+  ...
+  [CPUHP_ONLINE - N]->teardown()       -> 失败
+  [CPUHP_ONLINE - (N - 1)]->startup()  -> 成功
+  [CPUHP_ONLINE - (N - 2)]->startup()  -> 失败
+
+CPU热插拔状态机在此停止，且不再尝试回滚，因为这可能会导致死循环::
+
+  [CPUHP_ONLINE - (N - 1)]->teardown() -> 成功
+  [CPUHP_ONLINE - N]->teardown()       -> 失败
+  [CPUHP_ONLINE - (N - 1)]->startup()  -> 成功
+  [CPUHP_ONLINE - (N - 2)]->startup()  -> 失败
+  [CPUHP_ONLINE - (N - 1)]->teardown() -> 成功
+  [CPUHP_ONLINE - N]->teardown()       -> 失败
+
+周而复始，不断重复。在这种情况下，CPU留在该状态中::
+
+  [CPUHP_ONLINE - (N - 1)]
+
+这至少可以让系统取得进展，让用户有机会进行调试，甚至解决这个问题。
+
+分配一个状态
+------------
+
+有两种方式分配一个CPU热插拔状态:
+
+* 静态分配
+
+  当子系统或驱动程序有相对于其他CPU热插拔状态的排序要求时，必须使用静态分配。例如，
+  在CPU上线操作期间，PERF核心startup回调必须在PERF驱动startup回调之前被调用。在CPU
+  下线操作中，驱动teardown回调必须在核心teardown回调之前调用。静态分配的状态由
+  cpuhp_state枚举中的常量描述，可以在include/linux/cpuhotplug.h中找到。
+
+  在适当的位置将状态插入枚举中，这样就满足了排序要求。状态常量必须被用于状态的设置
+  和移除。
+
+  当状态回调不是在运行时设置的，并且是kernel/cpu.c中CPU热插拔状态数组初始化的一部分
+  时，也需要静态分配。
+
+* 动态分配
+
+  当对状态回调没有排序要求时，动态分配是首选方法。状态编号由setup函数分配，并在成功
+  后返回给调用者。
+
+  只有PREPARE和ONLINE阶段提供了一个动态分配范围。STARTING阶段则没有，因为该部分的大多
+  数回调都有明确的排序要求。
+
+CPU热插拔状态的设置
+-------------------
+
+核心代码提供了以下函数用来设置状态：
+
+* cpuhp_setup_state(state, name, startup, teardown)
+* cpuhp_setup_state_nocalls(state, name, startup, teardown)
+* cpuhp_setup_state_cpuslocked(state, name, startup, teardown)
+* cpuhp_setup_state_nocalls_cpuslocked(state, name, startup, teardown)
+
+对于一个驱动程序或子系统有多个实例，并且每个实例都需要调用相同的CPU hotplug状态回
+调的情况，CPU hotplug核心提供多实例支持。与驱动程序特定的实例列表相比，其优势在于
+与实例相关的函数完全针对CPU hotplug操作进行序列化，并在添加和删除时提供状态回调的
+自动调用。要设置这样一个多实例状态，可以使用以下函数：
+
+* cpuhp_setup_state_multi(state, name, startup, teardown)
+
+@state参数要么是静态分配的状态，要么是动态分配状态（PUHP_PREPARE_DYN，CPUHP_ONLINE_DYN）
+的常量之一， 具体取决于应该分配动态状态的状态阶段（PREPARE，ONLINE）。
+
+@name参数用于sysfs输出和检测。命名惯例是"subsys:mode"或"subsys/driver:mode"，
+例如 "perf:mode"或"perf/x86:mode"。常见的mode名称有：
+
+======== ============================================
+prepare  对应PREPARE阶段中的状态
+
+dead     对应PREPARE阶段中不提供startup回调的状态
+
+starting 对应STARTING阶段中的状态
+
+dying    对应STARTING阶段中不提供startup回调的状态
+
+online   对应ONLINE阶段中的状态
+
+offline  对应ONLINE阶段中不提供startup回调的状态
+======== ============================================
+
+由于@name参数只用于sysfs和检测，如果其他mode描述符比常见的描述符更好地描述状态的性质，
+也可以使用。
+
+@name参数的示例："perf/online", "perf/x86:prepare", "RCU/tree:dying", "sched/waitempty"
+
+@startup参数是一个指向回调的函数指针，在CPU上线操作时被调用。若应用不需要startup
+回调，则将该指针设为NULL。
+
+@teardown参数是一个指向回调的函数指针，在CPU下线操作时调用。若应用不需要teardown
+回调，则将该指针设为NULL。
+
+这些函数在处理已注册回调的方式上有所不同:
+
+  * cpuhp_setup_state_nocalls(), cpuhp_setup_state_nocalls_cpuslocked()和
+    cpuhp_setup_state_multi()只注册回调。
+
+  * cpuhp_setup_state()和cpuhp_setup_state_cpuslocked()注册回调，并对当前状态大于新
+    安装状态的所有在线CPU调用@startup回调（如果不是NULL）。根据状态阶段，回调要么在
+    当前的CPU上调用（PREPARE阶段），要么在CPU的热插拔线程中调用每个在线CPU（ONLINE阶段）。
+
+    如果CPU N的回调失败，那么CPU 0...N-1的teardown回调被调用以回滚操作。状态设置失败，
+    状态的回调没有被注册，在动态分配的情况下，分配的状态被释放。
+
+状态设置和回调调用是针对CPU热拔插操作进行序列化的。如果设置函数必须从CPU热插拔的读
+锁定区域调用，那么必须使用_cpuslocked()变体。这些函数不能在CPU热拔插回调中使用。
+
+函数返回值：
+  ======== ==========================================================
+  0        静态分配的状态设置成功
+
+  >0       动态分配的状态设置成功
+
+           返回的数值是被分配的状态编号。如果状态回调后来必须被移除，
+           例如模块移除，那么这个数值必须由调用者保存，并作为状态移
+           除函数的@state参数。对于多实例状态，动态分配的状态编号也
+           需要作为实例添加/删除操作的@state参数。
+
+  <0	   操作失败
+  ======== ==========================================================
+
+移除CPU热拔插状态
+-----------------
+
+为了移除一个之前设置好的状态，提供了如下函数：
+
+* cpuhp_remove_state(state)
+* cpuhp_remove_state_nocalls(state)
+* cpuhp_remove_state_nocalls_cpuslocked(state)
+* cpuhp_remove_multi_state(state)
+
+@state参数要么是静态分配的状态，要么是由cpuhp_setup_state*()在动态范围内分配
+的状态编号。如果状态在动态范围内，则状态编号被释放，可再次进行动态分配。
+
+这些函数在处理已注册回调的方式上有所不同:
+
+  * cpuhp_remove_state_nocalls(), cpuhp_remove_state_nocalls_cpuslocked()
+    和 cpuhp_remove_multi_state()只删除回调。
+
+  * cpuhp_remove_state()删除回调，并调用所有当前状态大于被删除状态的在线CPU的
+    teardown回调（如果不是NULL）。根据状态阶段，回调要么在当前的CPU上调用
+    （PREPARE阶段），要么在CPU的热插拔线程中调用每个在线CPU（ONLINE阶段）。
+
+    为了完成移除工作，teardown回调不能失败。
+
+状态移除和回调调用是针对CPU热拔插操作进行序列化的。如果移除函数必须从CPU hotplug
+读取锁定区域调用，那么必须使用_cpuslocked()变体。这些函数不能从CPU热插拔的回调中使用。
+
+如果一个多实例的状态被移除，那么调用者必须先移除所有的实例。
+
+多实例状态实例管理
+------------------
+
+一旦多实例状态被建立，实例就可以被添加到状态中：
 
-一旦一个CPU下线或上线，就有可能收到通知。这对某些需要根据可用CPU数量执行某种设置或清
-理功能的驱动程序来说可能很重要::
+  * cpuhp_state_add_instance(state, node)
+  * cpuhp_state_add_instance_nocalls(state, node)
 
-  #include <linux/cpuhotplug.h>
+@state参数是一个静态分配的状态或由cpuhp_setup_state_multi()在动态范围内分配的状
+态编号。
 
-  ret = cpuhp_setup_state(CPUHP_AP_ONLINE_DYN, "X/Y:online",
-                          Y_online, Y_prepare_down);
+@node参数是一个指向hlist_node的指针，它被嵌入到实例的数据结构中。这个指针被交给
+多实例状态的回调，可以被回调用来通过container_of()检索到实例。
 
-*X* 是子系统， *Y* 是特定的驱动程序。 *Y_online* 回调将在所有在线CPU的注册过程中被调用。
-如果在线回调期间发生错误， *Y_prepare_down*  回调将在所有之前调用过在线回调的CPU上调
-用。注册完成后，一旦有CPU上线， *Y_online* 回调将被调用，当CPU关闭时， *Y_prepare_down*
-将被调用。所有之前在 *Y_online* 中分配的资源都应该在 *Y_prepare_down* 中释放。如果在
-注册过程中发生错误，返回值 *ret* 为负值。否则会返回一个正值，其中包含动态分配状态
-（ *CPUHP_AP_ONLINE_DYN* ）的分配热拔插。对于预定义的状态，它将返回0。
+这些函数在处理已注册回调的方式上有所不同:
 
-该回调可以通过调用 ``cpuhp_remove_state()`` 来删除。如果是动态分配的状态
-（ *CPUHP_AP_ONLINE_DYN* ），则使用返回的状态。在移除热插拔状态的过程中，将调用拆解回调。
+  * cpuhp_state_add_instance_nocalls()只将实例添加到多实例状态的节点列表中。
 
-多个实例
-~~~~~~~~
+  * cpuhp_state_add_instance()为所有当前状态大于@state的在线CPU添加实例并调用与
+    @state相关的startup回调（如果不是NULL）。该回调只对将要添加的实例进行调用。
+    根据状态阶段，回调要么在当前的CPU上调用（PREPARE阶段），要么在CPU的热插拔线
+    程中调用每个在线CPU（ONLINE阶段）。
 
-如果一个驱动程序有多个实例，并且每个实例都需要独立执行回调，那么很可能应该使用
-``multi-state`` 。首先需要注册一个多状态的状态::
+    如果CPU N的回调失败，那么CPU 0 ... N-1的teardown回调被调用以回滚操作，该函数
+    失败，实例不会被添加到多实例状态的节点列表中。
 
-  ret = cpuhp_setup_state_multi(CPUHP_AP_ONLINE_DYN, "X/Y:online,
-                                Y_online, Y_prepare_down);
-  Y_hp_online = ret;
+要从状态的节点列表中删除一个实例，可以使用这些函数:
 
-``cpuhp_setup_state_multi()`` 的行为与 ``cpuhp_setup_state()`` 类似，只是它
-为多状态准备了回调，但不调用回调。这是一个一次性的设置。
-一旦分配了一个新的实例，你需要注册这个新实例::
+  * cpuhp_state_remove_instance(state, node)
+  * cpuhp_state_remove_instance_nocalls(state, node)
 
-  ret = cpuhp_state_add_instance(Y_hp_online, &d->node);
+参数与上述cpuhp_state_add_instance*()变体相同。
 
-这个函数将把这个实例添加到你先前分配的 ``Y_hp_online`` 状态，并在所有在线的
-CPU上调用先前注册的回调（ ``Y_online`` ）。 *node* 元素是你的每个实例数据结构
-中的一个 ``struct hlist_node`` 成员。
+这些函数在处理已注册回调的方式上有所不同:
 
-在移除该实例时::
+  * cpuhp_state_remove_instance_nocalls()只从状态的节点列表中删除实例。
 
-  cpuhp_state_remove_instance(Y_hp_online, &d->node)
+  * cpuhp_state_remove_instance()删除实例并调用与@state相关的回调（如果不是NULL），
+    用于所有当前状态大于@state的在线CPU。 该回调只对将要被移除的实例进行调用。
+    根据状态阶段，回调要么在当前的CPU上调用（PREPARE阶段），要么在CPU的热插拔
+    线程中调用每个在线CPU（ONLINE阶段）。
 
-应该被调用，这将在所有在线CPU上调用拆分回调。
+    为了完成移除工作，teardown回调不能失败。
 
-手动设置
-~~~~~~~~
+节点列表的添加/删除操作和回调调用是针对CPU热拔插操作进行序列化。这些函数不能在
+CPU hotplug回调和CPU hotplug读取锁定区域内使用。
 
-通常情况下，在注册或移除状态时调用setup和teamdown回调是很方便的，因为通常在CPU上线
-（下线）和驱动的初始设置（关闭）时需要执行该操作。然而，每个注册和删除功能也有一个
-_nocalls的后缀，如果不希望调用回调，则不调用所提供的回调。在手动设置（或关闭）期间，
-应该使用 ``get_online_cpus()`` 和 ``put_online_cpus()`` 函数来抑制CPU热插拔操作。
+样例
+----
 
+在STARTING阶段设置和取消静态分配的状态，以获取上线和下线操作的通知::
 
-事件的顺序
-----------
+   ret = cpuhp_setup_state(CPUHP_SUBSYS_STARTING, "subsys:starting", subsys_cpu_starting, subsys_cpu_dying);
+   if (ret < 0)
+        return ret;
+   ....
+   cpuhp_remove_state(CPUHP_SUBSYS_STARTING);
 
-热插拔状态被定义在 ``include/linux/cpuhotplug.h``:
+在ONLINE阶段设置和取消动态分配的状态，以获取下线操作的通知::
 
-* ``CPUHP_OFFLINE`` ... ``CPUHP_AP_OFFLINE`` 状态是在CPU启动前调用的。
+   state = cpuhp_setup_state(CPUHP_ONLINE_DYN, "subsys:offline", NULL, subsys_cpu_offline);
+   if (state < 0)
+       return state;
+   ....
+   cpuhp_remove_state(state);
 
-* ``CPUHP_AP_OFFLINE`` ... ``CPUHP_AP_ONLINE`` 状态是在CPU被启动后被调用的。
-  中断是关闭的，调度程序还没有在这个CPU上活动。从 ``CPUHP_AP_OFFLINE`` 开始，
-  回调被调用到目标CPU上。
+在ONLINE阶段设置和取消动态分配的状态，以获取有关上线操作的通知，而无需调用回调::
 
-* ``CPUHP_AP_ONLINE_DYN`` 和 ``CPUHP_AP_ONLINE_DYN_END`` 之间的状态被保留
-  给动态分配。
+   state = cpuhp_setup_state_nocalls(CPUHP_ONLINE_DYN, "subsys:online", subsys_cpu_online, NULL);
+   if (state < 0)
+       return state;
+   ....
+   cpuhp_remove_state_nocalls(state);
 
-* 这些状态在CPU关闭时以相反的顺序调用，从 ``CPUHP_ONLINE`` 开始，在 ``CPUHP_OFFLINE``
-  停止。这里的回调是在将被关闭的CPU上调用的，直到 ``CPUHP_AP_OFFLINE`` 。
+在ONLINE阶段设置、使用和取消动态分配的多实例状态，以获得上线和下线操作的通知::
 
-通过 ``CPUHP_AP_ONLINE_DYN`` 动态分配的状态通常已经足够了。然而，如果在启动或关闭
-期间需要更早的调用，那么应该获得一个显式状态。如果热拔插事件需要相对于另一个热拔插事
-件的特定排序，也可能需要一个显式状态。
+   state = cpuhp_setup_state_multi(CPUHP_ONLINE_DYN, "subsys:online", subsys_cpu_online, subsys_cpu_offline);

+通用通知机制
+============
+
+通用通知机制是建立在标准管道驱动之上的，它可以有效地将来自内核的通知消息拼接到用
+户空间打开的管道中。这可以与以下方面结合使用::
+
+  * Key/keyring 通知
+
+通知缓冲区可以通过以下方式启用：
+
+	“General setup”/“General notification queue”
+	(CONFIG_WATCH_QUEUE)
+
+文档包含以下章节：
+
+.. contents:: :local:
+
+
+概述
+====
+
+该设施以一种特殊模式打开的管道形式出现，管道的内部环形缓冲区用于保存内核生成的消
+息。然后通过read()读出这些消息。在此类管道上禁用拼接以及类似的操作，因为它们希望
+在某些情况下将其添加的内容还原到环中-这可能最终会与通知消息重叠。
+
+管道的所有者必须告诉内核它想通过该管道观察哪些源。只有连接到该管道上的源才会将消
+息插入其中。请注意，一个源可能绑定到多个管道，并同时将消息插入到所有管道中。
+
+还可以将过滤器放置在管道上，以便在不感兴趣时可以忽略某些源类型和子事件。
+
+如果环中没有可用的插槽，或者没有预分配的消息缓冲区可用，则将丢弃消息。在这两种情
+况下，read()都会在读取缓冲区中当前的最后一条消息后，将WATCH_META_LOSS_NOTIFICATION
+插入到输出缓冲区中。
+
+请注意，当生成一个通知时，内核不会等待消费者收集它，而是继续执行。这意味着可以在
+持有自旋锁的同时生成通知，并且还可以保护内核不被用户空间故障无限期地阻碍。
+
+
+消息结构
+========
+
+通知消息由一个简短的头部开始::
+
+	struct watch_notification {
+		__u32	type:24;
+		__u32	subtype:8;
+		__u32	info;
+	};
+
+“type”表示通知记录的来源，“subtype”表示该来源的记录类型（见下文观测源章节）。该类
+型也可以是“WATCH_TYPE_META”。这是一个由观测队列本身在内部生成的特殊记录类型。有两
+个子类型：
+
+  * WATCH_META_REMOVAL_NOTIFICATION
+  * WATCH_META_LOSS_NOTIFICATION
+
+第一个表示安装了观察的对象已被删除或销毁，第二个表示某些消息已丢失。
+
+“info”表示一系列东西，包括：
+
+  * 消息的长度，以字节为单位，包括头（带有WATCH_INFO_LENGTH的掩码，并按
+    WATCH_INFO_LENGTH__SHIFT移位）。这表示记录的大小，可能在8到127字节之间。
+
+  * 观测ID（带有WATCH_INFO_ID掩码，并按WATCH_INFO_ID__SHIFT移位）。这表示观测的主
+    叫ID，可能在0到255之间。多个观测组可以共享一个队列，这提供了一种区分它们的方法。
+
+  * 特定类型的字段（WATCH_INFO_TYPE_INFO）。这是由通知生产者设置的，以指示类型和
+    子类型的某些特定含义。
+
+除长度外，信息中的所有内容都可以用于过滤。
+
+头部后面可以有补充信息。此格式是由类型和子类型决定的。
+
+
+观测列表（通知源）API
+=====================
+
+“观测列表“是订阅通知源的观测者的列表。列表可以附加到对象（比如键或超级块），也可
+以是全局的（比如对于设备事件）。从用户空间的角度来看，一个非全局的观测列表通常是
+通过引用它所属的对象来引用的（比如使用KEYCTL_NOTIFY并给它一个密钥序列号来观测特定
+的密钥）。
+
+为了管理观测列表，提供了以下函数：
+
+  * ::
+
+	void init_watch_list(struct watch_list *wlist,
+			     void (*release_watch)(struct watch *wlist));
+
+    初始化一个观测列表。 如果 ``release_watch`` 不是NULL，那么这表示当watch_list对
+    象被销毁时，应该调用函数来丢弃观测列表对被观测对象的任何引用。
+
+  * ``void remove_watch_list(struct watch_list *wlist);``
+
+    这将删除订阅watch_list的所有观测，并释放它们，然后销毁watch_list对象本身。
+
+
+观测队列（通知输出）API
+=======================
+
+“观测队列”是由应用程序分配的用以记录通知的缓冲区，其工作原理完全隐藏在管道设备驱
+动中，但必须获得对它的引用才能设置观测。可以通过以下方式进行管理：
+
+  * ``struct watch_queue *get_watch_queue(int fd);``
+
+    由于观测队列在内核中通过实现缓冲区的管道的文件描述符表示，用户空间必须通过系
+    统调用传递该文件描述符，这可以用于从系统调用中查找指向观测队列的不透明指针。
+
+  * ``void put_watch_queue(struct watch_queue *wqueue);``
+
+    该函数用以丢弃从 ``get_watch_queue()`` 获得的引用。
+
+
+观测订阅API
+===========
+
+“观测”是观测列表上的订阅，表示观测队列，从而表示应写入通知记录的缓冲区。观测队列
+对象还可以携带该对象的过滤规则，由用户空间设置。watch结构体的某些部分可以由驱动程
+序设置::
+
+	struct watch {
+		union {
+			u32		info_id;	/* 在info字段中进行OR运算的ID */
+			...
+		};
+		void			*private;	/* 被观测对象的私有数据 */
+		u64			id;		/* 内部标识符 */
+		...
+	};
+
+``info_id`` 值是从用户空间获得并按WATCH_INFO_ID__SHIFT移位的8位数字。当通知写入关
+联的观测队列缓冲区时，这将与struct watch_notification::info的WATCH_INFO_ID字段进
+行或运算。
+
+``private`` 字段是与watch_list相关联的驱动程序数据，并由 ``watch_list::release_watch()``
+函数清除。
+
+``id`` 字段是源的ID。使用不同ID发布的通知将被忽略。
+
+提供以下函数来管理观测:
+
+  * ``void init_watch(struct watch *watch, struct watch_queue *wqueue);``
+
+    初始化一个观测对象，把它的指针设置到观察队列中，使用适当的限制来避免死锁。
+
+  * ``int add_watch_to_object(struct watch *watch, struct watch_list *wlist);``
+
+    将观测订阅到观测列表（通知源）。watch结构体中的driver-settable字段必须在调用
+    它之前设置。
+
+  * ::
+
+	int remove_watch_from_object(struct watch_list *wlist,
+				     struct watch_queue *wqueue,
+				     u64 id, false);
+
+    从观测列表中删除一个观测，该观测必须与指定的观测队列（``wqueue``）和对象标识
+    符（``id``）匹配。通知（``WATCH_META_REMOVAL_NOTIFICATION``）被发送到观测队列
+    表示该观测已被删除。
+
+  * ``int remove_watch_from_object(struct watch_list *wlist, NULL, 0, true);``
+
+    从观测列表中删除所有观测。预计这将被称为销毁前的准备工作，届时新的观测将无法
+    访问观测列表。通知（``WATCH_META_REMOVAL_NOTIFICATION``）被发送到每个订阅观测
+    的观测队列，以表明该观测已被删除。
+
+
+通知发布API
+===========
+
+要将通知发布到观测列表以便订阅的观测可以看到，应使用以下函数::
+
+	void post_watch_notification(struct watch_list *wlist,
+				     struct watch_notification *n,
+				     const struct cred *cred,
+				     u64 id);
+
+应预先设置通知格式，并应传入一个指向头部（``n``）的指针。通知可能大于此值，并且缓
+冲槽为单位的大小在 ``n->info & WATCH_INFO_LENGTH`` 中注明。
+
+``cred`` 结构体表示源（对象）的证书，并传递给LSM，例如SELinux，以允许或禁止根据该队
+列（对象）的证书在每个单独队列中记录注释。
+
+``id`` 是源对象ID（如密钥上的序列号）。只有设置相同ID的观测才能看到这个通知。
+
+
+观测源
+======
+
+任何特定的缓冲区都可以从多个源获取信息。 这些源包括:
+
+  * WATCH_TYPE_KEY_NOTIFY
+
+    这种类型的通知表示密钥和密钥环的变化，包括密钥环内容或密钥属性的变化。
+
+    更多信息请参见Documentation/security/keys/core.rst。
+
+
+事件过滤
+========
+
+当创建观测队列后，我们可以应用一组过滤器以限制接收的事件::
+
+	struct watch_notification_filter filter = {
+		...
+	};
+	ioctl(fd, IOC_WATCH_QUEUE_SET_FILTER, &filter)
+
+过滤器的描述的类型变量是::
+
+	struct watch_notification_filter {
+		__u32	nr_filters;
+		__u32	__reserved;
+		struct watch_notification_type_filter filters[];
+	};
+
+其中“nr_filters”表示filters[]数组中过滤器的数量，而“__reserved”应为0。
+“filter”数组有以下类型的元素::
+
+	struct watch_notification_type_filter {
+		__u32	type;
+		__u32	info_filter;
+		__u32	info_mask;
+		__u32	subtype_filter[8];
+	};
+
+其中：
+
+  * ``type`` 是过滤的事件类型，应类似于“WATCH_TYPE_KEY_NOTIFY”。
+
+  * ``info_filter`` 与 ``info_mask`` 充当通知记录的信息字段的过滤器，只有在以下情
+    况，通知才会写入缓冲区::
+
+	(watch.info & info_mask) == info_filter
+
+    例如，这可以用于忽略不在一个挂载树上的观测点的事件。
+
+  * ``subtype_filter`` 是一个位掩码，表示感兴趣的子类型。subtype_filter[0]的
+    bit[0]对应子类型0，bit[1]对应子类型1，以此类推。
+
+若ioctl()的参数为NULL，则过滤器将被移除，并且来自观测源的所有事件都将通过。
+
+
+用户空间代码示例
+================
+
+缓冲区的创建如下所示::
+
+	pipe2(fds, O_TMPFILE);
+	ioctl(fds[1], IOC_WATCH_QUEUE_SET_SIZE, 256);
+
+它可以被设置成接收密钥环变化的通知::
+
+	keyctl(KEYCTL_WATCH_KEY, KEY_SPEC_SESSION_KEYRING, fds[1], 0x01);
+
+然后，这些通知可以被如下方式所使用::
+
+	static void consumer(int rfd, struct watch_queue_buffer *buf)
+	{
+		unsigned char buffer[128];
+		ssize_t buf_len;
+
+		while (buf_len = read(rfd, buffer, sizeof(buffer)),
+		       buf_len > 0
+		       ) {
+			void *p = buffer;
+			void *end = buffer + buf_len;
+			while (p < end) {
+				union {
+					struct watch_notification n;
+					unsigned char buf1[128];
+				} n;
+				size_t largest, len;
+
+				largest = end - p;
+				if (largest > 128)
+					largest = 128;
+				memcpy(&n, p, largest);
+
+				len = (n->info & WATCH_INFO_LENGTH) >>
+					WATCH_INFO_LENGTH__SHIFT;
+				if (len == 0 || len > largest)
+					return;
+
+				switch (n.n.type) {
+				case WATCH_TYPE_META:
+					got_meta(&n.n);
+				case WATCH_TYPE_KEY_NOTIFY:
+					saw_key_change(&n.n);
+					break;
+				}
+
+				p += len;
+			}
+		}
+	}

+================
+通用互斥锁子系统
+================
+
+:初稿:
+
+  Ingo Molnar <mingo@redhat.com>
+
+:更新:
+
+  Davidlohr Bueso <davidlohr@hp.com>
+
+什么是互斥锁？
+--------------
+
+在Linux内核中，互斥锁（mutex）指的是一个特殊的加锁原语，它在共享内存系统上
+强制保证序列化，而不仅仅是指在学术界或类似的理论教科书中出现的通用术语“相互
+排斥”。互斥锁是一种睡眠锁，它的行为类似于二进制信号量（semaphores），在
+2006年被引入时[1]，作为后者的替代品。这种新的数据结构提供了许多优点，包括更
+简单的接口，以及在当时更少的代码量（见缺陷）。
+
+[1] https://lwn.net/Articles/164802/
+
+实现
+----
+
+互斥锁由“struct mutex”表示，在include/linux/mutex.h中定义，并在
+kernel/locking/mutex.c中实现。这些锁使用一个原子变量（->owner）来跟踪
+它们生命周期内的锁状态。字段owner实际上包含的是指向当前锁所有者的
+`struct task_struct *` 指针，因此如果无人持有锁，则它的值为空（NULL）。
+由于task_struct的指针至少按L1_CACHE_BYTES对齐，低位（3）被用来存储额外
+的状态（例如，等待者列表非空）。在其最基本的形式中，它还包括一个等待队列和
+一个确保对其序列化访问的自旋锁。此外，CONFIG_MUTEX_SPIN_ON_OWNER=y的
+系统使用一个自旋MCS锁（->osq，译注：MCS是两个人名的合并缩写），在下文的
+（ii）中描述。
+
+准备获得一把自旋锁时，有三种可能经过的路径，取决于锁的状态：
+
+(i) 快速路径：试图通过调用cmpxchg()修改锁的所有者为当前任务，以此原子化地
+    获取锁。这只在无竞争的情况下有效（cmpxchg()检查值是否为0，所以3个状态
+    比特必须为0）。如果锁处在竞争状态，代码进入下一个可能的路径。
+
+(ii) 中速路径：也就是乐观自旋，当锁的所有者正在运行并且没有其它优先级更高的
+     任务（need_resched，需要重新调度）准备运行时，当前任务试图自旋来获得
+     锁。原理是，如果锁的所有者正在运行，它很可能不久就会释放锁。互斥锁自旋体
+     使用MCS锁排队，这样只有一个自旋体可以竞争互斥锁。
+
+     MCS锁（由Mellor-Crummey和Scott提出）是一个简单的自旋锁，它具有一些
+     理想的特性，比如公平，以及每个CPU在试图获得锁时在一个本地变量上自旋。
+     它避免了常见的“检测-设置”自旋锁实现导致的（CPU核间）缓存行回弹
+     （cacheline bouncing）这种昂贵的开销。一个类MCS锁是为实现睡眠锁的
+     乐观自旋而专门定制的。这种定制MCS锁的一个重要特性是，它有一个额外的属性，
+     当自旋体需要重新调度时，它们能够退出MCS自旋锁队列。这进一步有助于避免
+     以下场景：需要重新调度的MCS自旋体将继续自旋等待自旋体所有者，即将获得
+     MCS锁时却直接进入慢速路径。
+
+(iii) 慢速路径：最后的手段，如果仍然无法获得锁，该任务会被添加到等待队列中，
+      休眠直到被解锁路径唤醒。在通常情况下，它以TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE状态
+      阻塞。
+
+虽然从形式上看，内核互斥锁是可睡眠的锁，路径(ii)使它实际上成为混合类型。通过
+简单地不中断一个任务并忙着等待几个周期，而不是立即睡眠，这种锁已经被认为显著
+改善一些工作负载的性能。注意，这种技术也被用于读写信号量（rw-semaphores）。
+
+语义
+----
+
+互斥锁子系统检查并强制执行以下规则:
+
+    - 每次只有一个任务可以持有该互斥锁。
+    - 只有锁的所有者可以解锁该互斥锁。
+    - 不允许多次解锁。
+    - 不允许递归加锁/解锁。
+    - 互斥锁只能通过API进行初始化（见下文）。
+    - 一个任务不能在持有互斥锁的情况下退出。
+    - 持有锁的内存区域不得被释放。
+    - 被持有的锁不能被重新初始化。
+    - 互斥锁不能用于硬件或软件中断上下文，如小任务（tasklet）和定时器。
+
+当CONFIG DEBUG_MUTEXES被启用时，这些语义将被完全强制执行。此外，互斥锁
+调试代码还实现了一些其它特性，使锁的调试更容易、更快速：
+
+    - 当打印到调试输出时，总是使用互斥锁的符号名称。
+    - 加锁点跟踪，函数名符号化查找，系统持有的全部锁的列表，打印出它们。
+    - 所有者跟踪。
+    - 检测自我递归的锁并打印所有相关信息。
+    - 检测多任务环形依赖死锁，并打印所有受影响的锁和任务（并且只限于这些任务）。
+
+
+接口
+----
+静态定义互斥锁::
+
+   DEFINE_MUTEX(name);
+
+动态初始化互斥锁::
+
+   mutex_init(mutex);
+
+以不可中断方式（uninterruptible）获取互斥锁::
+
+   void mutex_lock(struct mutex *lock);
+   void mutex_lock_nested(struct mutex *lock, unsigned int subclass);
+   int  mutex_trylock(struct mutex *lock);
+
+以可中断方式（interruptible）获取互斥锁::
+
+   int mutex_lock_interruptible_nested(struct mutex *lock,
+				       unsigned int subclass);
+   int mutex_lock_interruptible(struct mutex *lock);
+
+当原子变量减为0时，以可中断方式（interruptible）获取互斥锁::
+
+   int atomic_dec_and_mutex_lock(atomic_t *cnt, struct mutex *lock);
+
+释放互斥锁::
+
+   void mutex_unlock(struct mutex *lock);
+
+检测是否已经获取互斥锁::
+
+   int mutex_is_locked(struct mutex *lock);
+
+缺陷
+----
+
+与它最初的设计和目的不同，'struct mutex' 是内核中最大的锁之一。例如：在
+x86-64上它是32字节，而 'struct semaphore' 是24字节，rw_semaphore是
+40字节。更大的结构体大小意味着更多的CPU缓存和内存占用。
+
+
+何时使用互斥锁
+--------------
+
+总是优先选择互斥锁而不是任何其它锁原语，除非互斥锁的严格语义不合适，和/或临界区
+阻止锁被共享。

-如何向 Linux 内核提交驱动程序
-=============================
-
-这篇文档将会解释如何向不同的内核源码树提交设备驱动程序。请注意，如果你感
-兴趣的是显卡驱动程序，你也许应该访问 XFree86 项目(https://www.xfree86.org/)
-和／或 X.org 项目 (https://x.org)。
-
-另请参阅 Documentation/translations/zh_CN/process/submitting-patches.rst 文档。
-
-
-分配设备号
-----------
-
-块设备和字符设备的主设备号与从设备号是由 Linux 命名编号分配权威 LANANA（
-现在是 Torben Mathiasen）负责分配。申请的网址是 https://www.lanana.org/。
-即使不准备提交到主流内核的设备驱动也需要在这里分配设备号。有关详细信息，
-请参阅 Documentation/admin-guide/devices.rst。
-
-如果你使用的不是已经分配的设备号，那么当你提交设备驱动的时候，它将会被强
-制分配一个新的设备号，即便这个设备号和你之前发给客户的截然不同。
-
-设备驱动的提交对象
-------------------
-
-Linux 2.0:
-	此内核源码树不接受新的驱动程序。
-
-Linux 2.2:
-	此内核源码树不接受新的驱动程序。
-
-Linux 2.4:
-	如果所属的代码领域在内核的 MAINTAINERS 文件中列有一个总维护者，
-	那么请将驱动程序提交给他。如果此维护者没有回应或者你找不到恰当的
-	维护者，那么请联系 Willy Tarreau <w@1wt.eu>。
-
-Linux 2.6:
-	除了遵循和 2.4 版内核同样的规则外，你还需要在 linux-kernel 邮件
-	列表上跟踪最新的 API 变化。向 Linux 2.6 内核提交驱动的顶级联系人
-	是 Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org>。
-
-决定设备驱动能否被接受的条件
-----------------------------
-
-许可：		代码必须使用 GNU 通用公开许可证 (GPL) 提交给 Linux，但是
-		我们并不要求 GPL 是唯一的许可。你或许会希望同时使用多种
-		许可证发布，如果希望驱动程序可以被其他开源社区（比如BSD）
-		使用。请参考 include/linux/module.h 文件中所列出的可被
-		接受共存的许可。
-
-版权：		版权所有者必须同意使用 GPL 许可。最好提交者和版权所有者
-		是相同个人或实体。否则，必需列出授权使用 GPL 的版权所有
-		人或实体，以备验证之需。
-
-接口：		如果你的驱动程序使用现成的接口并且和其他同类的驱动程序行
-		为相似，而不是去发明无谓的新接口，那么它将会更容易被接受。
-		如果你需要一个 Linux 和 NT 的通用驱动接口，那么请在用
-		户空间实现它。
-
-代码：		请使用 Documentation/process/coding-style.rst 中所描述的 Linux 代码风
-		格。如果你的某些代码段（例如那些与 Windows 驱动程序包共
-		享的代码段）需要使用其他格式，而你却只希望维护一份代码，
-		那么请将它们很好地区分出来，并且注明原因。
-
-可移植性：	请注意，指针并不永远是 32 位的，不是所有的计算机都使用小
-		尾模式 (little endian) 存储数据，不是所有的人都拥有浮点
-		单元，不要随便在你的驱动程序里嵌入 x86 汇编指令。只能在
-		x86 上运行的驱动程序一般是不受欢迎的。虽然你可能只有 x86
-		硬件，很难测试驱动程序在其他平台上是否可用，但是确保代码
-		可以被轻松地移植却是很简单的。
-
-清晰度：	做到所有人都能修补这个驱动程序将会很有好处，因为这样你将
-		会直接收到修复的补丁而不是 bug 报告。如果你提交一个试图
-		隐藏硬件工作机理的驱动程序，那么它将会被扔进废纸篓。
-
-电源管理：	因为 Linux 正在被很多移动设备和桌面系统使用，所以你的驱
-		动程序也很有可能被使用在这些设备上。它应该支持最基本的电
-		源管理，即在需要的情况下实现系统级休眠和唤醒要用到的
-		.suspend 和 .resume 函数。你应该检查你的驱动程序是否能正
-		确地处理休眠与唤醒，如果实在无法确认，请至少把 .suspend
-		函数定义成返回 -ENOSYS（功能未实现）错误。你还应该尝试确
-		保你的驱动在什么都不干的情况下将耗电降到最低。要获得驱动
-		程序测试的指导，请参阅
-		Documentation/power/drivers-testing.rst。有关驱动程序电
-		源管理问题相对全面的概述，请参阅
-		Documentation/driver-api/pm/devices.rst。
-
-管理：		如果一个驱动程序的作者还在进行有效的维护，那么通常除了那
-		些明显正确且不需要任何检查的补丁以外，其他所有的补丁都会
-		被转发给作者。如果你希望成为驱动程序的联系人和更新者，最
-		好在代码注释中写明并且在 MAINTAINERS 文件中加入这个驱动
-		程序的条目。
-
-不影响设备驱动能否被接受的条件
-------------------------------
-
-供应商：	由硬件供应商来维护驱动程序通常是一件好事。不过，如果源码
-		树里已经有其他人提供了可稳定工作的驱动程序，那么请不要期
-		望“我是供应商”会成为内核改用你的驱动程序的理由。理想的情
-		况是：供应商与现有驱动程序的作者合作，构建一个统一完美的
-		驱动程序。
-
-作者：		驱动程序是由大的 Linux 公司研发还是由你个人编写，并不影
-		响其是否能被内核接受。没有人对内核源码树享有特权。只要你
-		充分了解内核社区，你就会发现这一点。

-RISC-V平台上对PMUs的支持
-========================
-
-Alan Kao <alankao@andestech.com>, Mar 2018
-
-简介
-------------
-
-截止本文撰写时，在The RISC-V ISA Privileged Version 1.10中提到的 perf_event
-相关特性如下:
-（详情请查阅手册）
-
-* [m|s]counteren
-* mcycle[h], cycle[h]
-* minstret[h], instret[h]
-* mhpeventx, mhpcounterx[h]
-
-仅有以上这些功能，移植perf需要做很多工作，究其原因是缺少以下通用架构的性能
-监测特性:
-
-* 启用/停用计数器
-  在我们这里，计数器一直在自由运行。
-* 计数器溢出引起的中断
-  规范中没有这种功能。
-* 中断指示器
-  不可能所有的计数器都有很多的中断端口，所以需要一个中断指示器让软件来判断
-  哪个计数器刚好溢出。
-* 写入计数器
-  由于内核不能修改计数器，所以会有一个SBI来支持这个功能[1]。 另外，一些厂商
-  考虑实现M-S-U型号机器的硬件扩展来直接写入计数器。
-
-这篇文档旨在为开发者提供一个在内核中支持PMU的简要指南。下面的章节简要解释了
-perf' 机制和待办事项。
-
-你可以在这里查看以前的讨论[1][2]。 另外，查看附录中的相关内核结构体可能会有
-帮助。
-
-
-1. 初始化
----------
-
-*riscv_pmu* 是一个类型为 *struct riscv_pmu* 的全局指针，它包含了根据perf内部
-约定的各种方法和PMU-specific参数。人们应该声明这样的实例来代表PMU。 默认情况
-下， *riscv_pmu* 指向一个常量结构体 *riscv_base_pmu* ，它对基准QEMU模型有非常
-基础的支持。
-
-
-然后他/她可以将实例的指针分配给 *riscv_pmu* ，这样就可以利用已经实现的最小逻
-辑，或者创建他/她自己的 *riscv_init_platform_pmu* 实现。
-
-换句话说，现有的 *riscv_base_pmu* 源只是提供了一个参考实现。 开发者可以灵活地
-决定多少部分可用，在最极端的情况下，他们可以根据自己的需要定制每一个函数。
-
-
-2. Event Initialization
------------------------
-
-当用户启动perf命令来监控一些事件时，首先会被用户空间的perf工具解释为多个
-*perf_event_open* 系统调用，然后进一步调用上一步分配的 *event_init* 成员函数
-的主体。 在 *riscv_base_pmu* 的情况下，就是 *riscv_event_init* 。
-
-该功能的主要目的是将用户提供的事件翻译成映射图，从而可以直接对HW-related的控
-制寄存器或计数器进行操作。该翻译基于 *riscv_pmu* 中提供的映射和方法。
-
-注意，有些功能也可以在这个阶段完成:
-
-(1) 中断设置，这个在下一节说；
-(2) 特限级设置(仅用户空间、仅内核空间、两者都有)；
-(3) 析构函数设置。 通常应用 *riscv_destroy_event* 即可；
-(4) 对非采样事件的调整，这将被函数应用，如 *perf_adjust_period* ，通常如下::
-
-      if (!is_sampling_event(event)) {
-              hwc->sample_period = x86_pmu.max_period;
-              hwc->last_period = hwc->sample_period;
-              local64_set(&hwc->period_left, hwc->sample_period);
-      }
-
-
-在 *riscv_base_pmu* 的情况下，目前只提供了（3）。
-
-
-3. 中断
--------
-
-3.1. 中断初始化
-
-这种情况经常出现在 *event_init* 方案的开头。通常情况下，这应该是一个代码段，如::
-
-  int x86_reserve_hardware(void)
-  {
-        int err = 0;
-
-        if (!atomic_inc_not_zero(&pmc_refcount)) {
-                mutex_lock(&pmc_reserve_mutex);
-                if (atomic_read(&pmc_refcount) == 0) {
-                        if (!reserve_pmc_hardware())
-                                err = -EBUSY;
-                        else
-                                reserve_ds_buffers();
-                }
-                if (!err)
-                        atomic_inc(&pmc_refcount);
-                mutex_unlock(&pmc_reserve_mutex);
-        }
-
-        return err;
-  }
-
-而神奇的是 *reserve_pmc_hardware* ，它通常做原子操作，使实现的IRQ可以从某个全局函
-数指针访问。 而 *release_pmc_hardware* 的作用正好相反，它用在上一节提到的事件分配
-器中。
-
- (注：从所有架构的实现来看，*reserve/release* 对总是IRQ设置，所以 *pmc_hardware*
- 似乎有些误导。 它并不处理事件和物理计数器之间的绑定，这一点将在下一节介绍。)
-
-3.2. IRQ结构体
-
-基本上，一个IRQ运行以下伪代码::
-
-  for each hardware counter that triggered this overflow
-
-      get the event of this counter
-
-      // following two steps are defined as *read()*,
-      // check the section Reading/Writing Counters for details.
-      count the delta value since previous interrupt
-      update the event->count (# event occurs) by adding delta, and
-                 event->hw.period_left by subtracting delta
-
-      if the event overflows
-          sample data
-          set the counter appropriately for the next overflow
-
-          if the event overflows again
-              too frequently, throttle this event
-          fi
-      fi
-
-  end for
-
- 然而截至目前，没有一个RISC-V的实现为perf设计了中断，所以具体的实现要在未来完成。
-
-4. Reading/Writing 计数
------------------------
-
-它们看似差不多，但perf对待它们的态度却截然不同。 对于读，在 *struct pmu* 中有一个
-*read* 接口，但它的作用不仅仅是读。 根据上下文，*read* 函数不仅要读取计数器的内容
-（event->count），还要更新左周期到下一个中断（event->hw.period_left）。
-
- 但 perf 的核心不需要直接写计数器。 写计数器隐藏在以下两点的抽象化之后，
- 1） *pmu->start* ，从字面上看就是开始计数，所以必须把计数器设置成一个合适的值，以
- 便下一次中断；
- 2）在IRQ里面，应该把计数器设置成同样的合理值。
-
-在RISC-V中，读操作不是问题，但写操作就需要费些力气了，因为S模式不允许写计数器。
-
-
-5. add()/del()/start()/stop()
------------------------------
-
-基本思想: add()/del() 向PMU添加/删除事件，start()/stop() 启动/停止PMU中某个事件
-的计数器。 所有这些函数都使用相同的参数: *struct perf_event *event* 和 *int flag* 。
-
-把 perf 看作一个状态机，那么你会发现这些函数作为这些状态之间的状态转换过程。
-定义了三种状态（event->hw.state）:
-
-* PERF_HES_STOPPED:	计数停止
-* PERF_HES_UPTODATE:	event->count是最新的
-* PERF_HES_ARCH:	依赖于体系结构的用法，。。。我们现在并不需要它。
-
-这些状态转换的正常流程如下:
-
-* 用户启动一个 perf 事件，导致调用 *event_init* 。
-* 当被上下文切换进来的时候，*add* 会被 perf core 调用，并带有一个标志 PERF_EF_START，

-  理计数器上。当状态变为PERF_HES_STOPPED和PERF_HES_UPTODATE，因为现在已经停止了,
-  （软件）事件计数不需要更新。
-
-  - 然后调用 *start* ，并启用计数器。
-    通过PERF_EF_RELOAD标志，它向计数器写入一个适当的值（详细情况请参考上一节）。
-    如果标志不包含PERF_EF_RELOAD，则不会写入任何内容。
-    现在状态被重置为none，因为它既没有停止也没有更新（计数已经开始）。
-
-*当被上下文切换出来时被调用。 然后，它检查出PMU中的所有事件，并调用 *stop* 来更新它们
- 的计数。
-
-  - *stop* 被 *del* 和perf核心调用，标志为PERF_EF_UPDATE，它经常以相同的逻辑和 *read*
-    共用同一个子程序。
-    状态又一次变为PERF_HES_STOPPED和PERF_HES_UPTODATE。
-
-  - 这两对程序的生命周期: *add* 和 *del* 在任务切换时被反复调用；*start* 和 *stop* 在
-    perf核心需要快速停止和启动时也会被调用，比如在调整中断周期时。
-
-目前的实现已经足够了，将来可以很容易地扩展到功能。

 临时虚拟映射
 ============
 
-内核包含几种创建临时映射的方法。:
+内核包含几种创建临时映射的方法。下面的列表按照使用的优先顺序显示了它们。
 
-* vmap().  这可以用来将多个物理页长期映射到一个连续的虚拟空间。它需要synchronization
-  来解除映射。
+* kmap_local_page()。这个函数是用来要求短期映射的。它可以从任何上下文（包括中断）中调用，
+  但是映射只能在获取它们的上下文中使用。
 
-* kmap().  这允许对单个页面进行短期映射。它需要synchronization，但在一定程度上被摊销。
-  当以嵌套方式使用时，它也很容易出现死锁，因此不建议在新代码中使用它。
+  在可行的情况下，这个函数应该比其他所有的函数优先使用。
 
-* kmap_atomic().  这允许对单个页面进行非常短的时间映射。由于映射被限制在发布它的CPU上，
-  它表现得很好，但发布任务因此被要求留在该CPU上直到它完成，以免其他任务取代它的映射。
-
-  kmap_atomic() 也可以由中断上下文使用，因为它不睡眠，而且调用者可能在调用kunmap_atomic()
-  之后才睡眠。
-
-  可以假设k[un]map_atomic()不会失败。
+  这些映射是线程本地和CPU本地的，这意味着映射只能从这个线程中访问，并且当映射处于活动状
+  态时，该线程与CPU绑定。即使线程被抢占了（因为抢占永远不会被函数禁用），CPU也不能通过
+  CPU-hotplug从系统中拔出，直到映射被处理掉。
 
+  在本地的kmap区域中采取pagefaults是有效的，除非获取本地映射的上下文由于其他原因不允许
+  这样做。
 
-使用kmap_atomic
-===============
+  kmap_local_page()总是返回一个有效的虚拟地址，并且假定kunmap_local()不会失败。
 
-何时何地使用 kmap_atomic() 是很直接的。当代码想要访问一个可能从高内存（见__GFP_HIGHMEM）
-分配的页面的内容时，例如在页缓存中的页面，就会使用它。该API有两个函数，它们的使用方式与
-下面类似::
+  嵌套kmap_local_page()和kmap_atomic()映射在一定程度上是允许的（最多到KMAP_TYPE_NR），
+  但是它们的调用必须严格排序，因为映射的实现是基于堆栈的。关于如何管理嵌套映射的细节，
+  请参见kmap_local_page() kdocs（包含在 "函数 "部分）。
 
-	/* 找到感兴趣的页面。 */
-	struct page *page = find_get_page(mapping, offset);
-
-	/* 获得对该页内容的访问权。 */
-	void *vaddr = kmap_atomic(page);
+* kmap_atomic().  这允许对单个页面进行非常短的时间映射。由于映射被限制在发布它的CPU上，
+  它表现得很好，但发布的任务因此被要求留在该CPU上直到它完成，以免其他任务取代它的映射。
 
-	/* 对该页的内容做一些处理。 */
-	memset(vaddr, 0, PAGE_SIZE);
+  kmap_atomic()也可以被中断上下文使用，因为它不睡眠，调用者也可能在调用kunmap_atomic()
+  后才睡眠。
 
-	/* 解除该页面的映射。 */
-	kunmap_atomic(vaddr);
+  内核中对kmap_atomic()的每次调用都会创建一个不可抢占的段，并禁用缺页异常。这可能是
+  未预期延迟的来源之一。因此用户应该选择kmap_local_page()而不是kmap_atomic()。
 
-注意，kunmap_atomic()调用的是kmap_atomic()调用的结果而不是参数。
+  假设k[un]map_atomic()不会失败。
 
-如果你需要映射两个页面，因为你想从一个页面复制到另一个页面，你需要保持kmap_atomic调用严
-格嵌套，如::
+* kmap()。这应该被用来对单个页面进行短时间的映射，对抢占或迁移没有限制。它会带来开销，
+  因为映射空间是受限制的，并且受到全局锁的保护，以实现同步。当不再需要映射时，必须用
+  kunmap()释放该页被映射的地址。
 
-	vaddr1 = kmap_atomic(page1);
-	vaddr2 = kmap_atomic(page2);
+  映射变化必须广播到所有CPU（核）上，kmap()还需要在kmap的池被回绕（TLB项用光了，需要从第
+   一项复用）时进行全局TLB无效化，当映射空间被完全利用时，它可能会阻塞，直到有一个可用的
+   槽出现。因此，kmap()只能从可抢占的上下文中调用。
 
-	memcpy(vaddr1, vaddr2, PAGE_SIZE);
+  如果一个映射必须持续相对较长的时间，上述所有的工作都是必要的，但是内核中大部分的
+  高内存映射都是短暂的，而且只在一个地方使用。这意味着在这种情况下，kmap()的成本大
+  多被浪费了。kmap()并不是为长期映射而设计的，但是它已经朝着这个方向发展了，在较新
+  的代码中强烈不鼓励使用它，前面的函数集应该是首选。
 
-	kunmap_atomic(vaddr2);
-	kunmap_atomic(vaddr1);
+  在64位系统中，调用kmap_local_page()、kmap_atomic()和kmap()没有实际作用，因为64位
+  地址空间足以永久映射所有物理内存页面。

+========
+页面迁移
+========
+
+页面迁移允许在进程运行时在NUMA系统的节点之间移动页面的物理位置。这意味着进程所看到的虚拟地
+址并没有改变。然而，系统会重新安排这些页面的物理位置。
+
+也可以参见 :ref: `<异构内存管理 (HMM)>` 以了解将页面迁移到设备私有内存或从设备私有内存中迁移。
+
+页面迁移的主要目的是通过将页面移到访问该内存的进程所运行的处理器附近来减少内存访问的延迟。
+
+页面迁移允许进程通过MF_MOVE和MF_MOVE_ALL选项手动重新定位其页面所在的节点，同时通过
+mbind()设置一个新的内存策略。一个进程的页面也可以通过sys_migrate_pages()函数调用从另
+一个进程重新定位。migrate_pages()函数调用接收两组节点，并将一个进程位于旧节点上的页面移
+动到目标节点上。页面迁移功能由Andi Kleen的numactl包提供(需要0.9.3以上的版本，其仓库
+地址https://github.com/numactl/numactl.git)。numactl提供了libnuma，它为页面迁移
+提供了与其他NUMA功能类似的接口。执行 cat ``/proc/<pid>/numa_maps``  允许轻松查看进
+程的页面位置。参见proc(5)手册中的numa_maps文档。
+
+如果调度程序将一个进程重新安置到一个遥远的节点上的处理器，手动迁移是很有用的。批量调度程序
+或管理员可以检测到这种情况，并将进程的页面移到新处理器附近。内核本身只提供手动的页迁移支持。
+自动的页面迁移可以通过用户空间的进程移动页面来实现。一个特殊的函数调用 "move_pages" 允许
+在一个进程中移动单个页面。例如，NUMA分析器可以获得一个显示频繁的节点外访问的日志，并可以使
+用这个结果将页面移动到更有利的位置。
+
+较大型的设备通常使用cpusets将系统分割成若干个节点。Paul Jackson为cpusets配备了当任务被
+转移到另一个cpuset时移动页面的能力(见:ref:`CPUSETS <cpusets>`)。Cpusets允许进程定
+位的自动化。如果一个任务被移到一个新的cpuset上，那么它的所有页面也会随之移动，这样进程的
+性能就不会急剧下降。如果cpuset允许的内存节点发生变化，cpuset中的进程页也会被移动。
+
+页面迁移允许为所有迁移技术保留一组节点中页面的相对位置，这将保留生成的特定内存分配模式即使
+进程已被迁移。为了保留内存延迟，这一点是必要的。迁移后的进程将以类似的性能运行。
+
+页面迁移分几个步骤进行。首先为那些试图从内核中使用migrate_pages()的进程做一个高层次的
+描述（对于用户空间的使用，可以参考上面提到的Andi Kleen的numactl包），然后对低水平的细
+节工作做一个低水平描述。
+
+在内核中使用 migrate_pages()
+============================
+
+1. 从LRU中移除页面。
+
+   要迁移的页面列表是通过扫描页面并把它们移到列表中来生成的。这是通过调用 isolate_lru_page()
+   来完成的。调用isolate_lru_page()增加了对该页的引用，这样在页面迁移发生时它就不会
+   消失。它还可以防止交换器或其他扫描器遇到该页。
+
+
+2. 我们需要有一个new_page_t类型的函数，可以传递给migrate_pages()。这个函数应该计算
+   出如何在给定的旧页面中分配正确的新页面。
+
+3. migrate_pages()函数被调用，它试图进行迁移。它将调用该函数为每个被考虑迁移的页面分
+   配新的页面。
+
+migrate_pages()如何工作
+=======================
+
+migrate_pages()对它的页面列表进行了多次处理。如果当时对一个页面的所有引用都可以被移除，
+那么这个页面就会被移动。该页已经通过isolate_lru_page()从LRU中移除，并且refcount被
+增加，以便在页面迁移发生时不释放该页。
+
+步骤:
+
+1. 锁定要迁移的页面。
+
+2. 确保回写已经完成。
+
+3. 锁定我们要迁移到的新页面。锁定它是为了在迁移过程中立即阻止对这个（尚未更新的）页面的
+   访问。
+
+4. 所有对该页的页表引用都被转换为迁移条目。这就减少了一个页面的mapcount。如果产生的
+   mapcount不是零，那么我们就不迁移该页。所有试图访问该页的用户空间进程现在将等待页
+   面锁或者等待迁移页表项被移除。
+
+5. i_pages的锁被持有。这将导致所有试图通过映射访问该页的进程在自旋锁上阻塞。
+
+6. 检查该页的Refcount，如果还有引用，我们就退出。否则，我们知道我们是唯一引用这个页
+   面的人。
+
+7. 检查基数树，如果它不包含指向这个页面的指针，那么我们就退出，因为其他人修改了基数树。
+
+8. 新的页面要用旧的页面的一些设置进行预处理，这样访问新的页面就会发现一个具有正确设置
+   的页面。
+
+9. 基数树被改变以指向新的页面。
+
+10. 旧页的引用计数被删除，因为地址空间的引用已经消失。对新页的引用被建立，因为新页被
+    地址空间引用。
+
+11. i_pages锁被放弃。这样一来，在映射中的查找又变得可能了。进程将从在锁上自旋到在
+    被锁的新页上睡眠。
+
+12. 页面内容被复制到新的页面上。
+
+13. 剩余的页面标志被复制到新的页面上。
+
+14. 旧的页面标志被清除，以表明该页面不再提供任何信息。
+
+15. 新页面上的回写队列被触发了。
+
+16. 如果迁移条目被插入到页表中，那么就用真正的ptes替换它们。这样做将使那些尚未等待页
+    锁的用户空间进程能够访问。
+
+17. 页面锁从新旧页面上被撤销。等待页锁的进程将重做他们的缺页异常，并将到达新的页面。
+
+18. 新的页面被移到LRU中，可以被交换器等再次扫描。
+
+非LRU页面迁移
+=============
+
+尽管迁移最初的目的是为了减少NUMA的内存访问延迟，但压缩也使用迁移来创建高阶页面。
+
+目前实现的问题是，它被设计为只迁移*LRU*页。然而，有一些潜在的非LRU页面可以在驱动中
+被迁移，例如，zsmalloc，virtio-balloon页面。
+
+对于virtio-balloon页面，迁移代码路径的某些部分已经被钩住，并添加了virtio-balloon
+的特定函数来拦截迁移逻辑。这对一个驱动来说太特殊了，所以其他想让自己的页面可移动的驱
+动就必须在迁移路径中添加自己的特定钩子。
+
+为了克服这个问题，VM支持非LRU页面迁移，它为非LRU可移动页面提供了通用函数，而在迁移
+路径中没有特定的驱动程序钩子。
+
+如果一个驱动程序想让它的页面可移动，它应该定义三个函数，这些函数是
+struct address_space_operations的函数指针。
+
+1. ``bool (*isolate_page) (struct page *page, isolate_mode_t mode);``
+
+   VM对驱动的isolate_page()函数的期望是，如果驱动成功隔离了该页，则返回*true*。
+   返回true后，VM会将该页标记为PG_isolated，这样多个CPU的并发隔离就会跳过该
+   页进行隔离。如果驱动程序不能隔离该页，它应该返回*false*。
+
+   一旦页面被成功隔离，VM就会使用page.lru字段，因此驱动程序不应期望保留这些字段的值。
+
+2. ``int (*migratepage) (struct address_space *mapping,``
+|	``struct page *newpage, struct page *oldpage, enum migrate_mode);``
+
+   隔离后，虚拟机用隔离的页面调用驱动的migratepage()。migratepage()的功能是将旧页
+   的内容移动到新页，并设置struct page newpage的字段。请记住，如果你成功迁移了旧页
+   并返回MIGRATEPAGE_SUCCESS，你应该通过page_lock下的__ClearPageMovable()向虚
+   拟机表明旧页不再可移动。如果驱动暂时不能迁移该页，驱动可以返回-EAGAIN。在-EAGAIN
+   时，VM会在短时间内重试页面迁移，因为VM将-EAGAIN理解为 "临时迁移失败"。在返回除
+   -EAGAIN以外的任何错误时，VM将放弃页面迁移而不重试。
+
+   在migratepage()函数中，驱动程序不应该接触page.lru字段。
+
+3. ``void (*putback_page)(struct page *);``
+
+   如果在隔离页上迁移失败，VM应该将隔离页返回给驱动，因此VM用隔离页调用驱动的
+   putback_page()。在这个函数中，驱动应该把隔离页放回自己的数据结构中。
+
+非LRU可移动页标志
+
+   有两个页面标志用于支持非LRU可移动页面。
+
+   * PG_movable
+
+     驱动应该使用下面的函数来使页面在page_lock下可移动。::
+
+	void __SetPageMovable(struct page *page, struct address_space *mapping)
+
+     它需要address_space的参数来注册将被VM调用的migration family函数。确切地说，
+     PG_movable不是struct page的一个真正的标志。相反，VM复用了page->mapping的低
+     位来表示它::
+
+	#define PAGE_MAPPING_MOVABLE 0x2
+	page->mapping = page->mapping | PAGE_MAPPING_MOVABLE;
+
+     所以驱动不应该直接访问page->mapping。相反，驱动应该使用page_mapping()，它可
+     以在页面锁下屏蔽掉page->mapping的低2位，从而获得正确的struct address_space。
+
+     对于非LRU可移动页面的测试，VM支持__PageMovable()函数。然而，它并不能保证识别
+     非LRU可移动页面，因为page->mapping字段与struct page中的其他变量是统一的。如
+     果驱动程序在被虚拟机隔离后释放了页面，尽管page->mapping设置了PAGE_MAPPING_MOVABLE，
+     但它并没有一个稳定的值（看看__ClearPageMovable）。但是__PageMovable()在页
+     面被隔离后，无论页面是LRU还是非LRU可移动的，调用它开销都很低，因为LRU页面在
+     page->mapping中不可能有PAGE_MAPPING_MOVABLE设置。在用pfn扫描中的lock_page()
+     进行更大开销的检查来选择受害者之前，它也很适合只是瞥一眼来测试非LRU可移动的页面。
+
+     为了保证非LRU的可移动页面，VM提供了PageMovable()函数。与__PageMovable()不
+     同，PageMovable()在lock_page()下验证page->mapping和
+     mapping->a_ops->isolate_page。lock_page()可以防止突然破坏page->mapping。
+
+     使用__SetPageMovable()的驱动应该在释放页面之前通过page_lock()下的
+     __ClearMovablePage()清除该标志。
+
+   * PG_isolated
+
+     为了防止几个CPU同时进行隔离，VM在lock_page()下将隔离的页面标记为PG_isolated。
+     因此，如果一个CPU遇到PG_isolated非LRU可移动页面，它可以跳过它。驱动程序不需要
+     操作这个标志，因为VM会自动设置/清除它。请记住，如果驱动程序看到PG_isolated页，
+     这意味着该页已经被VM隔离，所以它不应该碰page.lru字段。PG_isolated标志与
+     PG_reclaim标志是同义的，所以驱动程序不应该为自己的目的使用PG_isolated。
+
+监测迁移
+========
+
+以下事件（计数器）可用于监控页面迁移。
+
+1. PGMIGRATE_SUCCESS: 正常的页面迁移成功。每个计数器意味着一个页面被迁移了。如果该
+   页是一个非THP和非hugetlb页，那么这个计数器会增加1。如果该页面是一个THP或hugetlb
+   页面，那么这个计数器会随着THP或hugetlb子页面的数量而增加。例如，迁移一个有4KB大小
+   的基础页（子页）的2MB THP，将导致这个计数器增加512。
+
+2. PGMIGRATE_FAIL: 正常的页面迁移失败。与上面PGMIGRATE_SUCCESS的计数规则相同：如
+   果是THP或hugetlb，这个计数将被子页的数量增加。
+
+3. THP_MIGRATION_SUCCESS: 一个THP被迁移而没有被分割。
+
+4. THP_MIGRATION_FAIL: 一个THP不能被迁移，也不能被分割。
+
+5. THP_MIGRATION_SPLIT: 一个THP被迁移了，但不是这样的：首先，这个THP必须被分割。
+   在拆分之后，对它的子页面进行了迁移重试。
+
+THP_MIGRATION_* 事件也会更新相应的PGMIGRATE_SUCCESS或PGMIGRATE_FAIL事件。
+例如，一个THP迁移失败将导致THP_MIGRATION_FAIL和PGMIGRATE_FAIL增加。

+====================
+支持虚拟映射的内核栈
+====================
+
+:作者: Shuah Khan <skhan@linuxfoundation.org>
+
+.. contents:: :local:
+
+概览
+----
+
+这是介绍 `虚拟映射内核栈功能 <https://lwn.net/Articles/694348/>` 的代码
+和原始补丁系列的信息汇总。
+
+简介
+----
+
+内核堆栈溢出通常难以调试，并使内核容易被（恶意）利用。问题可能在稍后的时间出现，使其难以
+隔离和究其根本原因。
+
+带有保护页的虚拟映射内核堆栈如果溢出，会被立即捕获，而不会放任其导致难以诊断的损
+坏。
+
+HAVE_ARCH_VMAP_STACK和VMAP_STACK配置选项能够支持带有保护页的虚拟映射堆栈。
+当堆栈溢出时，这个特性会引发可靠的异常。溢出后堆栈跟踪的可用性以及对溢出本身的
+响应取决于架构。
+
+.. note::
+        截至本文撰写时， arm64, powerpc, riscv, s390, um, 和 x86 支持VMAP_STACK。
+
+HAVE_ARCH_VMAP_STACK
+--------------------
+
+能够支持虚拟映射内核栈的架构应该启用这个bool配置选项。要求是:
+
+- vmalloc空间必须大到足以容纳许多内核堆栈。这可能排除了许多32位架构。
+- vmalloc空间的堆栈需要可靠地工作。例如，如果vmap页表是按需创建的，当堆栈指向
+  具有未填充页表的虚拟地址时，这种机制需要工作，或者架构代码（switch_to()和
+  switch_mm()，很可能）需要确保堆栈的页表项在可能未填充的堆栈上运行之前已经填
+  充。
+- 如果堆栈溢出到一个保护页，就应该发生一些合理的事情。“合理”的定义是灵活的，但
+  在没有记录任何东西的情况下立即重启是不友好的。
+
+VMAP_STACK
+----------
+
+VMAP_STACK bool配置选项在启用时分配虚拟映射的任务栈。这个选项依赖于
+HAVE_ARCH_VMAP_STACK。
+
+- 如果你想使用带有保护页的虚拟映射的内核堆栈，请启用该选项。这将导致内核栈溢出
+  被立即捕获，而不是难以诊断的损坏。
+
+.. note::
+
+        使用KASAN的这个功能需要架构支持用真实的影子内存来支持虚拟映射，并且
+        必须启用KASAN_VMALLOC。
+
+.. note::
+
+        启用VMAP_STACK时，无法在堆栈分配的数据上运行DMA。
+
+内核配置选项和依赖性不断变化。请参考最新的代码库:
+
+`Kconfig <https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/arch/Kconfig>`
+
+分配方法
+--------
+
+当一个新的内核线程被创建时，线程堆栈是由页级分配器分配的虚拟连续的内存页组成。这
+些页面被映射到有PAGE_KERNEL保护的连续的内核虚拟空间。
+
+alloc_thread_stack_node()调用__vmalloc_node_range()来分配带有PAGE_KERNEL
+保护的栈。
+
+- 分配的堆栈被缓存起来，以后会被新的线程重用，所以在分配/释放堆栈给任务时，要手动
+  进行memcg核算。因此，__vmalloc_node_range被调用时没有__GFP_ACCOUNT。
+- vm_struct被缓存起来，以便能够找到在中断上下文中启动的空闲线程。 free_thread_stack()
+  可以在中断上下文中调用。
+- 在arm64上，所有VMAP的堆栈都需要有相同的对齐方式，以确保VMAP的堆栈溢出检测正常
+  工作。架构特定的vmap堆栈分配器照顾到了这个细节。
+- 这并不涉及中断堆栈--参考原始补丁
+
+线程栈分配是由clone()、fork()、vfork()、kernel_thread()通过kernel_clone()
+启动的。留点提示在这，以便搜索代码库，了解线程栈何时以及如何分配。
+
+大量的代码是在:
+`kernel/fork.c <https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/kernel/fork.c>`.
+
+task_struct中的stack_vm_area指针可以跟踪虚拟分配的堆栈，一个非空的stack_vm_area
+指针可以表明虚拟映射的内核堆栈已经启用。
+
+::
+
+        struct vm_struct *stack_vm_area;
+
+堆栈溢出处理
+------------
+
+前守护页和后守护页有助于检测堆栈溢出。当堆栈溢出到守护页时，处理程序必须小心不要再
+次溢出堆栈。当处理程序被调用时，很可能只留下很少的堆栈空间。
+
+在x86上，这是通过处理表明内核堆栈溢出的双异常堆栈的缺页异常来实现的。
+
+用守护页测试VMAP分配
+--------------------
+
+我们如何确保VMAP_STACK在分配时确实有前守护页和后守护页的保护？下面的 lkdtm 测试
+可以帮助检测任何回归。
+
+::
+
+        void lkdtm_STACK_GUARD_PAGE_LEADING()
+        void lkdtm_STACK_GUARD_PAGE_TRAILING()
+
+结论
+----
+
+- vmalloced堆栈的percpu缓存似乎比高阶堆栈分配要快一些，至少在缓存命中时是这样。
+- THREAD_INFO_IN_TASK完全摆脱了arch-specific thread_info，并简单地将
+  thread_info（仅包含标志）和'int cpu'嵌入task_struct中。
+- 一旦任务死亡，线程栈就可以被释放（无需等待RCU），然后，如果使用vmapped栈，就
+  可以将整个栈缓存起来，以便在同一cpu上重复使用。

-如何向 Linux 內核提交驅動程序
-=============================
-
-這篇文檔將會解釋如何向不同的內核源碼樹提交設備驅動程序。請注意，如果你感
-興趣的是顯卡驅動程序，你也許應該訪問 XFree86 項目(https://www.xfree86.org/)
-和／或 X.org 項目 (https://x.org)。
-
-另請參閱 Documentation/translations/zh_TW/process/submitting-patches.rst 文檔。
-
-
-分配設備號
-----------
-
-塊設備和字符設備的主設備號與從設備號是由 Linux 命名編號分配權威 LANANA（
-現在是 Torben Mathiasen）負責分配。申請的網址是 https://www.lanana.org/。
-即使不準備提交到主流內核的設備驅動也需要在這裡分配設備號。有關詳細信息，
-請參閱 Documentation/admin-guide/devices.rst。
-
-如果你使用的不是已經分配的設備號，那麼當你提交設備驅動的時候，它將會被強
-制分配一個新的設備號，即便這個設備號和你之前發給客戶的截然不同。
-
-設備驅動的提交對象
-------------------
-
-Linux 2.0:
-	此內核源碼樹不接受新的驅動程序。
-
-Linux 2.2:
-	此內核源碼樹不接受新的驅動程序。
-
-Linux 2.4:
-	如果所屬的代碼領域在內核的 MAINTAINERS 文件中列有一個總維護者，
-	那麼請將驅動程序提交給他。如果此維護者沒有回應或者你找不到恰當的
-	維護者，那麼請聯繫 Willy Tarreau <w@1wt.eu>。
-
-Linux 2.6:
-	除了遵循和 2.4 版內核同樣的規則外，你還需要在 linux-kernel 郵件
-	列表上跟蹤最新的 API 變化。向 Linux 2.6 內核提交驅動的頂級聯繫人
-	是 Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org>。
-
-決定設備驅動能否被接受的條件
-----------------------------
-
-許可：		代碼必須使用 GNU 通用公開許可證 (GPL) 提交給 Linux，但是
-		我們並不要求 GPL 是唯一的許可。你或許會希望同時使用多種
-		許可證發布，如果希望驅動程序可以被其他開源社區（比如BSD）
-		使用。請參考 include/linux/module.h 文件中所列出的可被
-		接受共存的許可。
-
-版權：		版權所有者必須同意使用 GPL 許可。最好提交者和版權所有者
-		是相同個人或實體。否則，必需列出授權使用 GPL 的版權所有
-		人或實體，以備驗證之需。
-
-接口：		如果你的驅動程序使用現成的接口並且和其他同類的驅動程序行
-		爲相似，而不是去發明無謂的新接口，那麼它將會更容易被接受。
-		如果你需要一個 Linux 和 NT 的通用驅動接口，那麼請在用
-		戶空間實現它。
-
-代碼：		請使用 Documentation/process/coding-style.rst 中所描述的 Linux 代碼風
-		格。如果你的某些代碼段（例如那些與 Windows 驅動程序包共
-		享的代碼段）需要使用其他格式，而你卻只希望維護一份代碼，
-		那麼請將它們很好地區分出來，並且註明原因。
-
-可移植性：	請注意，指針並不永遠是 32 位的，不是所有的計算機都使用小
-		尾模式 (little endian) 存儲數據，不是所有的人都擁有浮點
-		單元，不要隨便在你的驅動程序里嵌入 x86 彙編指令。只能在
-		x86 上運行的驅動程序一般是不受歡迎的。雖然你可能只有 x86
-		硬體，很難測試驅動程序在其他平台上是否可用，但是確保代碼
-		可以被輕鬆地移植卻是很簡單的。
-
-清晰度：	做到所有人都能修補這個驅動程序將會很有好處，因爲這樣你將
-		會直接收到修復的補丁而不是 bug 報告。如果你提交一個試圖
-		隱藏硬體工作機理的驅動程序，那麼它將會被扔進廢紙簍。
-
-電源管理：	因爲 Linux 正在被很多行動裝置和桌面系統使用，所以你的驅
-		動程序也很有可能被使用在這些設備上。它應該支持最基本的電
-		源管理，即在需要的情況下實現系統級休眠和喚醒要用到的
-		.suspend 和 .resume 函數。你應該檢查你的驅動程序是否能正
-		確地處理休眠與喚醒，如果實在無法確認，請至少把 .suspend
-		函數定義成返回 -ENOSYS（功能未實現）錯誤。你還應該嘗試確
-		保你的驅動在什麼都不乾的情況下將耗電降到最低。要獲得驅動
-		程序測試的指導，請參閱
-		Documentation/power/drivers-testing.rst。有關驅動程序電
-		源管理問題相對全面的概述，請參閱
-		Documentation/driver-api/pm/devices.rst。
-
-管理：		如果一個驅動程序的作者還在進行有效的維護，那麼通常除了那
-		些明顯正確且不需要任何檢查的補丁以外，其他所有的補丁都會
-		被轉發給作者。如果你希望成爲驅動程序的聯繫人和更新者，最
-		好在代碼注釋中寫明並且在 MAINTAINERS 文件中加入這個驅動
-		程序的條目。
-
-不影響設備驅動能否被接受的條件
-------------------------------
-
-供應商：	由硬體供應商來維護驅動程序通常是一件好事。不過，如果源碼
-		樹里已經有其他人提供了可穩定工作的驅動程序，那麼請不要期
-		望「我是供應商」會成爲內核改用你的驅動程序的理由。理想的情
-		況是：供應商與現有驅動程序的作者合作，構建一個統一完美的
-		驅動程序。
-
-作者：		驅動程序是由大的 Linux 公司研發還是由你個人編寫，並不影
-		響其是否能被內核接受。沒有人對內核源碼樹享有特權。只要你
-		充分了解內核社區，你就會發現這一點。

+Clocks and Timers
+=================
+
+arm64
+-----
+On arm64, Hyper-V virtualizes the ARMv8 architectural system counter
+and timer. Guest VMs use this virtualized hardware as the Linux
+clocksource and clockevents via the standard arm_arch_timer.c
+driver, just as they would on bare metal. Linux vDSO support for the
+architectural system counter is functional in guest VMs on Hyper-V.
+While Hyper-V also provides a synthetic system clock and four synthetic
+per-CPU timers as described in the TLFS, they are not used by the
+Linux kernel in a Hyper-V guest on arm64.  However, older versions
+of Hyper-V for arm64 only partially virtualize the ARMv8
+architectural timer, such that the timer does not generate
+interrupts in the VM. Because of this limitation, running current
+Linux kernel versions on these older Hyper-V versions requires an
+out-of-tree patch to use the Hyper-V synthetic clocks/timers instead.
+
+x86/x64
+-------
+On x86/x64, Hyper-V provides guest VMs with a synthetic system clock
+and four synthetic per-CPU timers as described in the TLFS. Hyper-V
+also provides access to the virtualized TSC via the RDTSC and
+related instructions. These TSC instructions do not trap to
+the hypervisor and so provide excellent performance in a VM.
+Hyper-V performs TSC calibration, and provides the TSC frequency
+to the guest VM via a synthetic MSR.  Hyper-V initialization code
+in Linux reads this MSR to get the frequency, so it skips TSC
+calibration and sets tsc_reliable. Hyper-V provides virtualized
+versions of the PIT (in Hyper-V  Generation 1 VMs only), local
+APIC timer, and RTC. Hyper-V does not provide a virtualized HPET in
+guest VMs.
+
+The Hyper-V synthetic system clock can be read via a synthetic MSR,
+but this access traps to the hypervisor. As a faster alternative,
+the guest can configure a memory page to be shared between the guest
+and the hypervisor.  Hyper-V populates this memory page with a
+64-bit scale value and offset value. To read the synthetic clock
+value, the guest reads the TSC and then applies the scale and offset
+as described in the Hyper-V TLFS. The resulting value advances
+at a constant 10 MHz frequency. In the case of a live migration
+to a host with a different TSC frequency, Hyper-V adjusts the
+scale and offset values in the shared page so that the 10 MHz
+frequency is maintained.
+
+Starting with Windows Server 2022 Hyper-V, Hyper-V uses hardware
+support for TSC frequency scaling to enable live migration of VMs
+across Hyper-V hosts where the TSC frequency may be different.
+When a Linux guest detects that this Hyper-V functionality is
+available, it prefers to use Linux's standard TSC-based clocksource.
+Otherwise, it uses the clocksource for the Hyper-V synthetic system
+clock implemented via the shared page (identified as
+"hyperv_clocksource_tsc_page").
+
+The Hyper-V synthetic system clock is available to user space via
+vDSO, and gettimeofday() and related system calls can execute
+entirely in user space.  The vDSO is implemented by mapping the
+shared page with scale and offset values into user space.  User
+space code performs the same algorithm of reading the TSC and
+appying the scale and offset to get the constant 10 MHz clock.
+
+Linux clockevents are based on Hyper-V synthetic timer 0. While
+Hyper-V offers 4 synthetic timers for each CPU, Linux only uses
+timer 0. Interrupts from stimer0 are recorded on the "HVS" line in
+/proc/interrupts.  Clockevents based on the virtualized PIT and
+local APIC timer also work, but the Hyper-V synthetic timer is
+preferred.
+
+The driver for the Hyper-V synthetic system clock and timers is
+drivers/clocksource/hyperv_timer.c.

+Overview
+========
+The Linux kernel contains a variety of code for running as a fully
+enlightened guest on Microsoft's Hyper-V hypervisor.  Hyper-V
+consists primarily of a bare-metal hypervisor plus a virtual machine
+management service running in the parent partition (roughly
+equivalent to KVM and QEMU, for example).  Guest VMs run in child
+partitions.  In this documentation, references to Hyper-V usually
+encompass both the hypervisor and the VMM service without making a
+distinction about which functionality is provided by which
+component.
+
+Hyper-V runs on x86/x64 and arm64 architectures, and Linux guests
+are supported on both.  The functionality and behavior of Hyper-V is
+generally the same on both architectures unless noted otherwise.
+
+Linux Guest Communication with Hyper-V
+--------------------------------------
+Linux guests communicate with Hyper-V in four different ways:
+
+* Implicit traps: As defined by the x86/x64 or arm64 architecture,
+  some guest actions trap to Hyper-V.  Hyper-V emulates the action and
+  returns control to the guest.  This behavior is generally invisible
+  to the Linux kernel.
+
+* Explicit hypercalls: Linux makes an explicit function call to
+  Hyper-V, passing parameters.  Hyper-V performs the requested action
+  and returns control to the caller.  Parameters are passed in
+  processor registers or in memory shared between the Linux guest and
+  Hyper-V.   On x86/x64, hypercalls use a Hyper-V specific calling
+  sequence.  On arm64, hypercalls use the ARM standard SMCCC calling
+  sequence.
+
+* Synthetic register access: Hyper-V implements a variety of
+  synthetic registers.  On x86/x64 these registers appear as MSRs in
+  the guest, and the Linux kernel can read or write these MSRs using
+  the normal mechanisms defined by the x86/x64 architecture.  On
+  arm64, these synthetic registers must be accessed using explicit
+  hypercalls.
+
+* VMbus: VMbus is a higher-level software construct that is built on
+  the other 3 mechanisms.  It is a message passing interface between
+  the Hyper-V host and the Linux guest.  It uses memory that is shared
+  between Hyper-V and the guest, along with various signaling
+  mechanisms.
+
+The first three communication mechanisms are documented in the
+`Hyper-V Top Level Functional Spec (TLFS)`_.  The TLFS describes
+general Hyper-V functionality and provides details on the hypercalls
+and synthetic registers.  The TLFS is currently written for the
+x86/x64 architecture only.
+
+.. _Hyper-V Top Level Functional Spec (TLFS): https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/virtualization/hyper-v-on-windows/tlfs/tlfs
+
+VMbus is not documented.  This documentation provides a high-level
+overview of VMbus and how it works, but the details can be discerned
+only from the code.
+
+Sharing Memory
+--------------
+Many aspects are communication between Hyper-V and Linux are based
+on sharing memory.  Such sharing is generally accomplished as
+follows:
+
+* Linux allocates memory from its physical address space using
+  standard Linux mechanisms.
+
+* Linux tells Hyper-V the guest physical address (GPA) of the
+  allocated memory.  Many shared areas are kept to 1 page so that a
+  single GPA is sufficient.   Larger shared areas require a list of
+  GPAs, which usually do not need to be contiguous in the guest
+  physical address space.  How Hyper-V is told about the GPA or list
+  of GPAs varies.  In some cases, a single GPA is written to a
+  synthetic register.  In other cases, a GPA or list of GPAs is sent
+  in a VMbus message.
+
+* Hyper-V translates the GPAs into "real" physical memory addresses,
+  and creates a virtual mapping that it can use to access the memory.
+
+* Linux can later revoke sharing it has previously established by
+  telling Hyper-V to set the shared GPA to zero.
+
+Hyper-V operates with a page size of 4 Kbytes. GPAs communicated to
+Hyper-V may be in the form of page numbers, and always describe a
+range of 4 Kbytes.  Since the Linux guest page size on x86/x64 is
+also 4 Kbytes, the mapping from guest page to Hyper-V page is 1-to-1.
+On arm64, Hyper-V supports guests with 4/16/64 Kbyte pages as
+defined by the arm64 architecture.   If Linux is using 16 or 64
+Kbyte pages, Linux code must be careful to communicate with Hyper-V
+only in terms of 4 Kbyte pages.  HV_HYP_PAGE_SIZE and related macros
+are used in code that communicates with Hyper-V so that it works
+correctly in all configurations.
+
+As described in the TLFS, a few memory pages shared between Hyper-V
+and the Linux guest are "overlay" pages.  With overlay pages, Linux
+uses the usual approach of allocating guest memory and telling
+Hyper-V the GPA of the allocated memory.  But Hyper-V then replaces
+that physical memory page with a page it has allocated, and the
+original physical memory page is no longer accessible in the guest
+VM.  Linux may access the memory normally as if it were the memory
+that it originally allocated.  The "overlay" behavior is visible
+only because the contents of the page (as seen by Linux) change at
+the time that Linux originally establishes the sharing and the
+overlay page is inserted.  Similarly, the contents change if Linux
+revokes the sharing, in which case Hyper-V removes the overlay page,
+and the guest page originally allocated by Linux becomes visible
+again.
+
+Before Linux does a kexec to a kdump kernel or any other kernel,
+memory shared with Hyper-V should be revoked.  Hyper-V could modify
+a shared page or remove an overlay page after the new kernel is
+using the page for a different purpose, corrupting the new kernel.
+Hyper-V does not provide a single "set everything" operation to
+guest VMs, so Linux code must individually revoke all sharing before
+doing kexec.   See hv_kexec_handler() and hv_crash_handler().  But
+the crash/panic path still has holes in cleanup because some shared
+pages are set using per-CPU synthetic registers and there's no
+mechanism to revoke the shared pages for CPUs other than the CPU
+running the panic path.
+
+CPU Management
+--------------
+Hyper-V does not have a ability to hot-add or hot-remove a CPU
+from a running VM.  However, Windows Server 2019 Hyper-V and
+earlier versions may provide guests with ACPI tables that indicate
+more CPUs than are actually present in the VM.  As is normal, Linux
+treats these additional CPUs as potential hot-add CPUs, and reports
+them as such even though Hyper-V will never actually hot-add them.
+Starting in Windows Server 2022 Hyper-V, the ACPI tables reflect
+only the CPUs actually present in the VM, so Linux does not report
+any hot-add CPUs.
+
+A Linux guest CPU may be taken offline using the normal Linux
+mechanisms, provided no VMbus channel interrupts are assigned to
+the CPU.  See the section on VMbus Interrupts for more details
+on how VMbus channel interrupts can be re-assigned to permit
+taking a CPU offline.
+
+32-bit and 64-bit
+-----------------
+On x86/x64, Hyper-V supports 32-bit and 64-bit guests, and Linux
+will build and run in either version. While the 32-bit version is
+expected to work, it is used rarely and may suffer from undetected
+regressions.
+
+On arm64, Hyper-V supports only 64-bit guests.
+
+Endian-ness
+-----------
+All communication between Hyper-V and guest VMs uses Little-Endian
+format on both x86/x64 and arm64.  Big-endian format on arm64 is not
+supported by Hyper-V, and Linux code does not use endian-ness macros
+when accessing data shared with Hyper-V.
+
+Versioning
+----------
+Current Linux kernels operate correctly with older versions of
+Hyper-V back to Windows Server 2012 Hyper-V. Support for running
+on the original Hyper-V release in Windows Server 2008/2008 R2
+has been removed.
+
+A Linux guest on Hyper-V outputs in dmesg the version of Hyper-V
+it is running on.  This version is in the form of a Windows build
+number and is for display purposes only. Linux code does not
+test this version number at runtime to determine available features
+and functionality. Hyper-V indicates feature/function availability
+via flags in synthetic MSRs that Hyper-V provides to the guest,
+and the guest code tests these flags.
+
+VMbus has its own protocol version that is negotiated during the
+initial VMbus connection from the guest to Hyper-V. This version
+number is also output to dmesg during boot.  This version number
+is checked in a few places in the code to determine if specific
+functionality is present.
+
+Furthermore, each synthetic device on VMbus also has a protocol
+version that is separate from the VMbus protocol version. Device
+drivers for these synthetic devices typically negotiate the device
+protocol version, and may test that protocol version to determine
+if specific device functionality is present.
+
+Code Packaging
+--------------
+Hyper-V related code appears in the Linux kernel code tree in three
+main areas:
+
+1. drivers/hv
+
+2. arch/x86/hyperv and arch/arm64/hyperv
+
+3. individual device driver areas such as drivers/scsi, drivers/net,
+   drivers/clocksource, etc.
+
+A few miscellaneous files appear elsewhere. See the full list under
+"Hyper-V/Azure CORE AND DRIVERS" and "DRM DRIVER FOR HYPERV
+SYNTHETIC VIDEO DEVICE" in the MAINTAINERS file.
+
+The code in #1 and #2 is built only when CONFIG_HYPERV is set.
+Similarly, the code for most Hyper-V related drivers is built only
+when CONFIG_HYPERV is set.
+
+Most Hyper-V related code in #1 and #3 can be built as a module.
+The architecture specific code in #2 must be built-in.  Also,
+drivers/hv/hv_common.c is low-level code that is common across
+architectures and must be built-in.

+
+VMbus
+=====
+VMbus is a software construct provided by Hyper-V to guest VMs.  It
+consists of a control path and common facilities used by synthetic
+devices that Hyper-V presents to guest VMs.   The control path is
+used to offer synthetic devices to the guest VM and, in some cases,
+to rescind those devices.   The common facilities include software
+channels for communicating between the device driver in the guest VM
+and the synthetic device implementation that is part of Hyper-V, and
+signaling primitives to allow Hyper-V and the guest to interrupt
+each other.
+
+VMbus is modeled in Linux as a bus, with the expected /sys/bus/vmbus
+entry in a running Linux guest.  The VMbus driver (drivers/hv/vmbus_drv.c)
+establishes the VMbus control path with the Hyper-V host, then
+registers itself as a Linux bus driver.  It implements the standard
+bus functions for adding and removing devices to/from the bus.
+
+Most synthetic devices offered by Hyper-V have a corresponding Linux
+device driver.  These devices include:
+
+* SCSI controller
+* NIC
+* Graphics frame buffer
+* Keyboard
+* Mouse
+* PCI device pass-thru
+* Heartbeat
+* Time Sync
+* Shutdown
+* Memory balloon
+* Key/Value Pair (KVP) exchange with Hyper-V
+* Hyper-V online backup (a.k.a. VSS)
+
+Guest VMs may have multiple instances of the synthetic SCSI
+controller, synthetic NIC, and PCI pass-thru devices.  Other
+synthetic devices are limited to a single instance per VM.  Not
+listed above are a small number of synthetic devices offered by
+Hyper-V that are used only by Windows guests and for which Linux
+does not have a driver.
+
+Hyper-V uses the terms "VSP" and "VSC" in describing synthetic
+devices.  "VSP" refers to the Hyper-V code that implements a
+particular synthetic device, while "VSC" refers to the driver for
+the device in the guest VM.  For example, the Linux driver for the
+synthetic NIC is referred to as "netvsc" and the Linux driver for
+the synthetic SCSI controller is "storvsc".  These drivers contain
+functions with names like "storvsc_connect_to_vsp".
+
+VMbus channels
+--------------
+An instance of a synthetic device uses VMbus channels to communicate
+between the VSP and the VSC.  Channels are bi-directional and used
+for passing messages.   Most synthetic devices use a single channel,
+but the synthetic SCSI controller and synthetic NIC may use multiple
+channels to achieve higher performance and greater parallelism.
+
+Each channel consists of two ring buffers.  These are classic ring
+buffers from a university data structures textbook.  If the read
+and writes pointers are equal, the ring buffer is considered to be
+empty, so a full ring buffer always has at least one byte unused.
+The "in" ring buffer is for messages from the Hyper-V host to the
+guest, and the "out" ring buffer is for messages from the guest to
+the Hyper-V host.  In Linux, the "in" and "out" designations are as
+viewed by the guest side.  The ring buffers are memory that is
+shared between the guest and the host, and they follow the standard
+paradigm where the memory is allocated by the guest, with the list
+of GPAs that make up the ring buffer communicated to the host.  Each
+ring buffer consists of a header page (4 Kbytes) with the read and
+write indices and some control flags, followed by the memory for the
+actual ring.  The size of the ring is determined by the VSC in the
+guest and is specific to each synthetic device.   The list of GPAs
+making up the ring is communicated to the Hyper-V host over the
+VMbus control path as a GPA Descriptor List (GPADL).  See function
+vmbus_establish_gpadl().
+
+Each ring buffer is mapped into contiguous Linux kernel virtual
+space in three parts:  1) the 4 Kbyte header page, 2) the memory
+that makes up the ring itself, and 3) a second mapping of the memory
+that makes up the ring itself.  Because (2) and (3) are contiguous
+in kernel virtual space, the code that copies data to and from the
+ring buffer need not be concerned with ring buffer wrap-around.
+Once a copy operation has completed, the read or write index may
+need to be reset to point back into the first mapping, but the
+actual data copy does not need to be broken into two parts.  This
+approach also allows complex data structures to be easily accessed
+directly in the ring without handling wrap-around.
+
+On arm64 with page sizes > 4 Kbytes, the header page must still be
+passed to Hyper-V as a 4 Kbyte area.  But the memory for the actual
+ring must be aligned to PAGE_SIZE and have a size that is a multiple
+of PAGE_SIZE so that the duplicate mapping trick can be done.  Hence
+a portion of the header page is unused and not communicated to
+Hyper-V.  This case is handled by vmbus_establish_gpadl().
+
+Hyper-V enforces a limit on the aggregate amount of guest memory
+that can be shared with the host via GPADLs.  This limit ensures
+that a rogue guest can't force the consumption of excessive host
+resources.  For Windows Server 2019 and later, this limit is
+approximately 1280 Mbytes.  For versions prior to Windows Server
+2019, the limit is approximately 384 Mbytes.
+
+VMbus messages
+--------------
+All VMbus messages have a standard header that includes the message
+length, the offset of the message payload, some flags, and a
+transactionID.  The portion of the message after the header is
+unique to each VSP/VSC pair.
+
+Messages follow one of two patterns:
+
+* Unidirectional:  Either side sends a message and does not
+  expect a response message
+* Request/response:  One side (usually the guest) sends a message
+  and expects a response
+
+The transactionID (a.k.a. "requestID") is for matching requests &
+responses.  Some synthetic devices allow multiple requests to be in-
+flight simultaneously, so the guest specifies a transactionID when
+sending a request.  Hyper-V sends back the same transactionID in the
+matching response.
+
+Messages passed between the VSP and VSC are control messages.  For
+example, a message sent from the storvsc driver might be "execute
+this SCSI command".   If a message also implies some data transfer
+between the guest and the Hyper-V host, the actual data to be
+transferred may be embedded with the control message, or it may be
+specified as a separate data buffer that the Hyper-V host will
+access as a DMA operation.  The former case is used when the size of
+the data is small and the cost of copying the data to and from the
+ring buffer is minimal.  For example, time sync messages from the
+Hyper-V host to the guest contain the actual time value.  When the
+data is larger, a separate data buffer is used.  In this case, the
+control message contains a list of GPAs that describe the data
+buffer.  For example, the storvsc driver uses this approach to
+specify the data buffers to/from which disk I/O is done.
+
+Three functions exist to send VMbus messages:
+
+1. vmbus_sendpacket():  Control-only messages and messages with
+   embedded data -- no GPAs
+2. vmbus_sendpacket_pagebuffer(): Message with list of GPAs
+   identifying data to transfer.  An offset and length is
+   associated with each GPA so that multiple discontinuous areas
+   of guest memory can be targeted.
+3. vmbus_sendpacket_mpb_desc(): Message with list of GPAs
+   identifying data to transfer.  A single offset and length is
+   associated with a list of GPAs.  The GPAs must describe a
+   single logical area of guest memory to be targeted.
+
+Historically, Linux guests have trusted Hyper-V to send well-formed
+and valid messages, and Linux drivers for synthetic devices did not
+fully validate messages.  With the introduction of processor
+technologies that fully encrypt guest memory and that allow the
+guest to not trust the hypervisor (AMD SNP-SEV, Intel TDX), trusting
+the Hyper-V host is no longer a valid assumption.  The drivers for
+VMbus synthetic devices are being updated to fully validate any
+values read from memory that is shared with Hyper-V, which includes
+messages from VMbus devices.  To facilitate such validation,
+messages read by the guest from the "in" ring buffer are copied to a
+temporary buffer that is not shared with Hyper-V.  Validation is
+performed in this temporary buffer without the risk of Hyper-V
+maliciously modifying the message after it is validated but before
+it is used.
+
+VMbus interrupts
+----------------
+VMbus provides a mechanism for the guest to interrupt the host when
+the guest has queued new messages in a ring buffer.  The host
+expects that the guest will send an interrupt only when an "out"
+ring buffer transitions from empty to non-empty.  If the guest sends
+interrupts at other times, the host deems such interrupts to be
+unnecessary.  If a guest sends an excessive number of unnecessary
+interrupts, the host may throttle that guest by suspending its
+execution for a few seconds to prevent a denial-of-service attack.
+
+Similarly, the host will interrupt the guest when it sends a new
+message on the VMbus control path, or when a VMbus channel "in" ring
+buffer transitions from empty to non-empty.  Each CPU in the guest
+may receive VMbus interrupts, so they are best modeled as per-CPU
+interrupts in Linux.  This model works well on arm64 where a single
+per-CPU IRQ is allocated for VMbus.  Since x86/x64 lacks support for
+per-CPU IRQs, an x86 interrupt vector is statically allocated (see
+HYPERVISOR_CALLBACK_VECTOR) across all CPUs and explicitly coded to
+call the VMbus interrupt service routine.  These interrupts are
+visible in /proc/interrupts on the "HYP" line.
+
+The guest CPU that a VMbus channel will interrupt is selected by the
+guest when the channel is created, and the host is informed of that
+selection.  VMbus devices are broadly grouped into two categories:
+
+1. "Slow" devices that need only one VMbus channel.  The devices
+   (such as keyboard, mouse, heartbeat, and timesync) generate
+   relatively few interrupts.  Their VMbus channels are all
+   assigned to interrupt the VMBUS_CONNECT_CPU, which is always
+   CPU 0.
+
+2. "High speed" devices that may use multiple VMbus channels for
+   higher parallelism and performance.  These devices include the
+   synthetic SCSI controller and synthetic NIC.  Their VMbus
+   channels interrupts are assigned to CPUs that are spread out
+   among the available CPUs in the VM so that interrupts on
+   multiple channels can be processed in parallel.
+
+The assignment of VMbus channel interrupts to CPUs is done in the
+function init_vp_index().  This assignment is done outside of the
+normal Linux interrupt affinity mechanism, so the interrupts are
+neither "unmanaged" nor "managed" interrupts.
+
+The CPU that a VMbus channel will interrupt can be seen in
+/sys/bus/vmbus/devices/<deviceGUID>/ channels/<channelRelID>/cpu.
+When running on later versions of Hyper-V, the CPU can be changed
+by writing a new value to this sysfs entry.  Because the interrupt
+assignment is done outside of the normal Linux affinity mechanism,
+there are no entries in /proc/irq corresponding to individual
+VMbus channel interrupts.
+
+An online CPU in a Linux guest may not be taken offline if it has
+VMbus channel interrupts assigned to it.  Any such channel
+interrupts must first be manually reassigned to another CPU as
+described above.  When no channel interrupts are assigned to the
+CPU, it can be taken offline.
+
+When a guest CPU receives a VMbus interrupt from the host, the
+function vmbus_isr() handles the interrupt.  It first checks for
+channel interrupts by calling vmbus_chan_sched(), which looks at a
+bitmap setup by the host to determine which channels have pending
+interrupts on this CPU.  If multiple channels have pending
+interrupts for this CPU, they are processed sequentially.  When all
+channel interrupts have been processed, vmbus_isr() checks for and
+processes any message received on the VMbus control path.
+
+The VMbus channel interrupt handling code is designed to work
+correctly even if an interrupt is received on a CPU other than the
+CPU assigned to the channel.  Specifically, the code does not use
+CPU-based exclusion for correctness.  In normal operation, Hyper-V
+will interrupt the assigned CPU.  But when the CPU assigned to a
+channel is being changed via sysfs, the guest doesn't know exactly
+when Hyper-V will make the transition.  The code must work correctly
+even if there is a time lag before Hyper-V starts interrupting the
+new CPU.  See comments in target_cpu_store().
+
+VMbus device creation/deletion
+------------------------------
+Hyper-V and the Linux guest have a separate message-passing path
+that is used for synthetic device creation and deletion. This
+path does not use a VMbus channel.  See vmbus_post_msg() and
+vmbus_on_msg_dpc().
+
+The first step is for the guest to connect to the generic
+Hyper-V VMbus mechanism.  As part of establishing this connection,
+the guest and Hyper-V agree on a VMbus protocol version they will
+use.  This negotiation allows newer Linux kernels to run on older
+Hyper-V versions, and vice versa.
+
+The guest then tells Hyper-V to "send offers".  Hyper-V sends an
+offer message to the guest for each synthetic device that the VM
+is configured to have. Each VMbus device type has a fixed GUID
+known as the "class ID", and each VMbus device instance is also
+identified by a GUID. The offer message from Hyper-V contains
+both GUIDs to uniquely (within the VM) identify the device.
+There is one offer message for each device instance, so a VM with
+two synthetic NICs will get two offers messages with the NIC
+class ID. The ordering of offer messages can vary from boot-to-boot
+and must not be assumed to be consistent in Linux code. Offer
+messages may also arrive long after Linux has initially booted
+because Hyper-V supports adding devices, such as synthetic NICs,
+to running VMs. A new offer message is processed by
+vmbus_process_offer(), which indirectly invokes vmbus_add_channel_work().
+
+Upon receipt of an offer message, the guest identifies the device
+type based on the class ID, and invokes the correct driver to set up
+the device.  Driver/device matching is performed using the standard
+Linux mechanism.
+
+The device driver probe function opens the primary VMbus channel to
+the corresponding VSP. It allocates guest memory for the channel
+ring buffers and shares the ring buffer with the Hyper-V host by
+giving the host a list of GPAs for the ring buffer memory.  See
+vmbus_establish_gpadl().
+
+Once the ring buffer is set up, the device driver and VSP exchange
+setup messages via the primary channel.  These messages may include
+negotiating the device protocol version to be used between the Linux
+VSC and the VSP on the Hyper-V host.  The setup messages may also
+include creating additional VMbus channels, which are somewhat
+mis-named as "sub-channels" since they are functionally
+equivalent to the primary channel once they are created.
+
+Finally, the device driver may create entries in /dev as with
+any device driver.
+
+The Hyper-V host can send a "rescind" message to the guest to
+remove a device that was previously offered. Linux drivers must
+handle such a rescind message at any time. Rescinding a device
+invokes the device driver "remove" function to cleanly shut
+down the device and remove it. Once a synthetic device is
+rescinded, neither Hyper-V nor Linux retains any state about
+its previous existence. Such a device might be re-added later,
+in which case it is treated as an entirely new device. See
+vmbus_onoffer_rescind().
