Devices that support write zeroes operation in which a
single request can be issued to zero out the range of
contiguous blocks on storage without having any payload
in the request. This can be used to optimize writing zeroes
to the devices. write_zeroes_max_bytes indicates how many

What: /sys/block/<disk>/queue/zoned
Date: September 2016
Contact: Damien Le Moal <damien.lemoal@hgst.com>
Description:
zoned indicates if the device is a zoned block device
and the zone model of the device if it is indeed zoned.
The possible values indicated by zoned are "none" for
regular block devices and "host-aware" or "host-managed"
for zoned block devices. The characteristics of
host-aware and host-managed zoned block devices are
described in the ZBC (Zoned Block Commands) and ZAC
(Zoned Device ATA Command Set) standards. These standards
also define the "drive-managed" zone model. However,
since drive-managed zoned block devices do not support
zone commands, they will be treated as regular block
devices and zoned will report "none".
What: /sys/block/<disk>/queue/chunk_sectors

Contact: Hannes Reinecke <hare@suse.com>
Description:
chunk_sectors has different meaning depending on the type
of the disk. For a RAID device (dm-raid), chunk_sectors
indicates the size in 512B sectors of the RAID volume
stripe segment. For a zoned block device, either
host-aware or host-managed, chunk_sectors indicates the
size of 512B sectors of the zones of the device, with
the eventual exception of the last zone of the device
which may be smaller.

Date: October 2016
KernelVersion: 4.9
Contact: Peter Rosin <peda@axentia.se>
Description:
The DAC is used to find the peak level of an alternating
voltage input signal by a binary search using the output
of a comparator wired to an interrupt pin. Like so:
_
| \
input +------>-------|+ \
| \
.-------. | }---.
| | | / |
| dac|-->--|- / |
| | |_/ |
| | |
| | |
| irq|------<-------'
| |
'-------'
The boolean invert attribute (0/1) should be set when the
input signal is centered around the maximum value of the
dac instead of zero. The envelope detector will search
from below in this case and will also invert the result.
The edge/level of the interrupt is also switched to its
opposite value.

What: /sys/bus/iio/devices/iio:deviceX/in_countY_count_mode
KernelVersion: 4.9
Contact: linux-iio@vger.kernel.org
Description:
Count mode for channel Y. Four count modes are available:
normal, range limit, non-recycle, and modulo-n. The preset value
for channel Y is used by the count mode where required.
Normal:
Counting is continuous in either direction.
Range Limit:
An upper or lower limit is set, mimicking limit switches
in the mechanical counterpart. The upper limit is set to
the preset value, while the lower limit is set to 0. The
counter freezes at count = preset when counting up, and
at count = 0 when counting down. At either of these
limits, the counting is resumed only when the count
direction is reversed.
Non-recycle:
Counter is disabled whenever a 24-bit count overflow or
underflow takes place. The counter is re-enabled when a
new count value is loaded to the counter via a preset
operation or write to raw.
Modulo-N:
A count boundary is set between 0 and the preset value.
The counter is reset to 0 at count = preset when
counting up, while the counter is set to the preset
value at count = 0 when counting down; the counter does
not freeze at the bundary points, but counts
continuously throughout.

Description:
Read-only attribute that indicates whether excessive noise is
present at the channel Y count inputs in quadrature clock mode;
irrelevant in non-quadrature clock mode.
What: /sys/bus/iio/devices/iio:deviceX/in_countY_preset

Description:
If the counter device supports preset registers, the preset

What: /sys/bus/iio/devices/iio:deviceX/in_countY_quadrature_mode
KernelVersion: 4.9
Contact: linux-iio@vger.kernel.org
Description:
Configure channel Y counter for non-quadrature or quadrature
clock mode. Selecting non-quadrature clock mode will disable
synchronous load mode. In quadrature clock mode, the channel Y
scale attribute selects the encoder phase division (scale of 1
selects full-cycle, scale of 0.5 selects half-cycle, scale of
0.25 selects quarter-cycle) processed by the channel Y counter.
Non-quadrature:
The filter and decoder circuit are bypassed. Encoder A
input serves as the count input and B as the UP/DOWN
direction control input, with B = 1 selecting UP Count
mode and B = 0 selecting Down Count mode.
Quadrature:
Encoder A and B inputs are digitally filtered and
decoded for UP/DN clock.

What: /sys/bus/iio/devices/iio:deviceX/in_indexY_synchronous_mode
KernelVersion: 4.9
Contact: linux-iio@vger.kernel.org
Description:
Configure channel Y counter for non-synchronous or synchronous
load mode. Synchronous load mode cannot be selected in
non-quadrature clock mode.
Non-synchronous:
A logic low level is the active level at this index
input. The index function (as enabled via
set_to_preset_on_index) is performed directly on the
active level of the index input.
Synchronous:
Intended for interfacing with encoder Index output in
quadrature clock mode. The active level is configured
via index_polarity. The index function (as enabled via
set_to_preset_on_index) is performed synchronously with
the quadrature clock on the active level of the index
input.

Scheme 0, makes full n (4, 8, 12, 16) bits (unsigned) proximity
detection. The range of Scheme 0 proximity count is from 0 to
2^n. Logic 1 of this bit, Scheme 1, makes n-1 (3, 7, 11, 15)
bits (2's complementary) proximity_less_ambient detection. The
range of Scheme 1 proximity count is from -2^(n-1) to 2^(n-1).
The sign bit is extended for resolutions less than 16. While
Scheme 0 has wider dynamic range, Scheme 1 proximity detection
is less affected by the ambient IR noise variation.

Introduction
============
Always try the latest kernel from kernel.org and build from source. If you are
not confident in doing that please report the bug to your distribution vendor
instead of to a kernel developer.
Finding bugs is not always easy. Have a go though. If you can't find it don't
give up. Report as much as you have found to the relevant maintainer. See
MAINTAINERS for who that is for the subsystem you have worked on.
Before you submit a bug report read REPORTING-BUGS.
Devices not appearing
=====================
Often this is caused by udev. Check that first before blaming it on the
kernel.
Finding patch that caused a bug
===============================
Finding using git-bisect
------------------------
Using the provided tools with git makes finding bugs easy provided the bug is
reproducible.
Steps to do it:
- start using git for the kernel source
- read the man page for git-bisect
- have fun
Finding it the old way
----------------------
[Sat Mar 2 10:32:33 PST 1996 KERNEL_BUG-HOWTO lm@sgi.com (Larry McVoy)]
This is how to track down a bug if you know nothing about kernel hacking.
It's a brute force approach but it works pretty well.
You need:
. A reproducible bug - it has to happen predictably (sorry)
. All the kernel tar files from a revision that worked to the
revision that doesn't
You will then do:
. Rebuild a revision that you believe works, install, and verify that.
. Do a binary search over the kernels to figure out which one
introduced the bug. I.e., suppose 1.3.28 didn't have the bug, but
you know that 1.3.69 does. Pick a kernel in the middle and build
that, like 1.3.50. Build & test; if it works, pick the mid point
between .50 and .69, else the mid point between .28 and .50.
. You'll narrow it down to the kernel that introduced the bug. You
can probably do better than this but it gets tricky.
. Narrow it down to a subdirectory
- Copy kernel that works into "test". Let's say that 3.62 works,
but 3.63 doesn't. So you diff -r those two kernels and come
up with a list of directories that changed. For each of those
directories:
Copy the non-working directory next to the working directory
as "dir.63".
One directory at time, try moving the working directory to
"dir.62" and mv dir.63 dir"time, try
mv dir dir.62
mv dir.63 dir
find dir -name '*.[oa]' -print | xargs rm -f
And then rebuild and retest. Assuming that all related
changes were contained in the sub directory, this should
isolate the change to a directory.
Problems: changes in header files may have occurred; I've
found in my case that they were self explanatory - you may
or may not want to give up when that happens.
. Narrow it down to a file
- You can apply the same technique to each file in the directory,
hoping that the changes in that file are self contained.
. Narrow it down to a routine
- You can take the old file and the new file and manually create
a merged file that has
#ifdef VER62
routine()
{
...
}
#else
routine()
{
...
}
#endif
And then walk through that file, one routine at a time and
prefix it with
#define VER62
/* both routines here */
#undef VER62
Then recompile, retest, move the ifdefs until you find the one
that makes the difference.
Finally, you take all the info that you have, kernel revisions, bug
description, the extent to which you have narrowed it down, and pass
that off to whomever you believe is the maintainer of that section.
A post to linux.dev.kernel isn't such a bad idea if you've done some
work to narrow it down.
If you get it down to a routine, you'll probably get a fix in 24 hours.
My apologies to Linus and the other kernel hackers for describing this
brute force approach, it's hardly what a kernel hacker would do. However,
it does work and it lets non-hackers help fix bugs. And it is cool
because Linux snapshots will let you do this - something that you can't
do with vendor supplied releases.
Fixing the bug
==============
Nobody is going to tell you how to fix bugs. Seriously. You need to work it
out. But below are some hints on how to use the tools.
To debug a kernel, use objdump and look for the hex offset from the crash
output to find the valid line of code/assembler. Without debug symbols, you
will see the assembler code for the routine shown, but if your kernel has
debug symbols the C code will also be available. (Debug symbols can be enabled
in the kernel hacking menu of the menu configuration.) For example:
objdump -r -S -l --disassemble net/dccp/ipv4.o
NB.: you need to be at the top level of the kernel tree for this to pick up
your C files.
If you don't have access to the code you can also debug on some crash dumps
e.g. crash dump output as shown by Dave Miller.
> EIP is at ip_queue_xmit+0x14/0x4c0
> ...
> Code: 44 24 04 e8 6f 05 00 00 e9 e8 fe ff ff 8d 76 00 8d bc 27 00 00

> Put the bytes into a "foo.s" file like this:

> foo:

>
> Compile it with "gcc -c -o foo.o foo.s" then look at the output of
> "objdump --disassemble foo.o".
>
> Output:

> ip_queue_xmit:
> push %ebp
> push %edi
> push %esi
> push %ebx
> sub $0xbc, %esp
> mov 0xd0(%esp), %ebp ! %ebp = arg0 (skb)
> mov 0x8(%ebp), %ebx ! %ebx = skb->sk
> mov 0x13c(%ebx), %eax ! %eax = inet_sk(sk)->opt
In addition, you can use GDB to figure out the exact file and line
number of the OOPS from the vmlinux file. If you have
CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO enabled, you can simply copy the EIP value from the
OOPS:
EIP: 0060:[<c021e50e>] Not tainted VLI
And use GDB to translate that to human-readable form:
gdb vmlinux
(gdb) l *0xc021e50e
If you don't have CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO enabled, you use the function
offset from the OOPS:
EIP is at vt_ioctl+0xda8/0x1482
And recompile the kernel with CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO enabled:
make vmlinux
gdb vmlinux
(gdb) p vt_ioctl
(gdb) l *(0x<address of vt_ioctl> + 0xda8)
or, as one command
(gdb) l *(vt_ioctl + 0xda8)
If you have a call trace, such as :-
>Call Trace:
> [<ffffffff8802c8e9>] :jbd:log_wait_commit+0xa3/0xf5
> [<ffffffff810482d9>] autoremove_wake_function+0x0/0x2e
> [<ffffffff8802770b>] :jbd:journal_stop+0x1be/0x1ee
> ...
this shows the problem in the :jbd: module. You can load that module in gdb
and list the relevant code.
gdb fs/jbd/jbd.ko
(gdb) p log_wait_commit
(gdb) l *(0x<address> + 0xa3)
or
(gdb) l *(log_wait_commit + 0xa3)
Another very useful option of the Kernel Hacking section in menuconfig is
Debug memory allocations. This will help you see whether data has been
initialised and not set before use etc. To see the values that get assigned
with this look at mm/slab.c and search for POISON_INUSE. When using this an
Oops will often show the poisoned data instead of zero which is the default.
Once you have worked out a fix please submit it upstream. After all open
source is about sharing what you do and don't you want to be recognised for
your genius?
Please do read Documentation/SubmittingPatches though to help your code get
accepted.

Code of Conflict
----------------
The Linux kernel development effort is a very personal process compared
to "traditional" ways of developing software. Your code and ideas
behind it will be carefully reviewed, often resulting in critique and
criticism. The review will almost always require improvements to the
code before it can be included in the kernel. Know that this happens
because everyone involved wants to see the best possible solution for
the overall success of Linux. This development process has been proven
to create the most robust operating system kernel ever, and we do not
want to do anything to cause the quality of submission and eventual
result to ever decrease.
If however, anyone feels personally abused, threatened, or otherwise
uncomfortable due to this process, that is not acceptable. If so,
please contact the Linux Foundation's Technical Advisory Board at
<tab@lists.linux-foundation.org>, or the individual members, and they
will work to resolve the issue to the best of their ability. For more
information on who is on the Technical Advisory Board and what their
role is, please see:
http://www.linuxfoundation.org/projects/linux/tab
As a reviewer of code, please strive to keep things civil and focused on
the technical issues involved. We are all humans, and frustrations can
be high on both sides of the process. Try to keep in mind the immortal
words of Bill and Ted, "Be excellent to each other."

Tracepoints are static probe points that are located in strategic points
throughout the kernel. 'Probes' register/unregister with tracepoints
via a callback mechanism. The 'probes' are strictly typed functions that
are passed a unique set of parameters defined by each tracepoint.
</para>
<para>
From this simple callback mechanism, 'probes' can be used to profile, debug,
and understand kernel behavior. There are a number of tools that provide a
framework for using 'probes'. These tools include Systemtap, ftrace, and
LTTng.
</para>
<para>
Tracepoints are defined in a number of header files via various macros. Thus,
the purpose of this document is to provide a clear accounting of the available
tracepoints. The intention is to understand not only what tracepoints are
available but also to understand where future tracepoints might be added.
</para>
<para>
The API presented has functions of the form:
<function>trace_tracepointname(function parameters)</function>. These are the
tracepoints callbacks that are found throughout the code. Registering and
unregistering probes with these callback sites is covered in the

<title>Generic Hyper-V UIO driver</title>
<para>
The generic driver is a kernel module named uio_hv_generic.
It supports devices on the Hyper-V VMBus similar to uio_pci_generic
on PCI bus.
</para>
<sect1 id="uio_hv_generic_binding">
<title>Making the driver recognize the device</title>
<para>
Since the driver does not declare any device GUID's, it will not get loaded
automatically and will not automatically bind to any devices, you must load it
and allocate id to the driver yourself. For example, to use the network device
GUID:
<programlisting>
modprobe uio_hv_generic
echo &quot;f8615163-df3e-46c5-913f-f2d2f965ed0e&quot; &gt; /sys/bus/vmbus/drivers/uio_hv_generic/new_id
</programlisting>
</para>
<para>
If there already is a hardware specific kernel driver for the device, the
generic driver still won't bind to it, in this case if you want to use the
generic driver (why would you?) you'll have to manually unbind the hardware
specific driver and bind the generic driver, like this:
<programlisting>
echo -n vmbus-ed963694-e847-4b2a-85af-bc9cfc11d6f3 &gt; /sys/bus/vmbus/drivers/hv_netvsc/unbind
echo -n vmbus-ed963694-e847-4b2a-85af-bc9cfc11d6f3 &gt; /sys/bus/vmbus/drivers/uio_hv_generic/bind
</programlisting>
</para>
<para>
You can verify that the device has been bound to the driver
by looking for it in sysfs, for example like the following:

On each interrupt, uio_hv_generic sets the Interrupt Disable bit.
This prevents the device from generating further interrupts
until the bit is cleared. The userspace driver should clear this
bit before blocking and waiting for more interrupts.

Watching For Interfaces
When your code comes up, the IPMI driver may or may not have detected
if IPMI devices exist. So you might have to defer your setup until
the device is detected, or you might be able to do it immediately.
To handle this, and to allow for discovery, you register an SMI
watcher with ipmi_smi_watcher_register() to iterate over interfaces
and tell you when they come and go.
