Paravirt_ops on IA64
====================
21 May 2008, Isaku Yamahata <yamahata@valinux.co.jp>
Introduction
------------
The aim of this documentation is to help with maintainability and/or to
encourage people to use paravirt_ops/IA64.
paravirt_ops (pv_ops in short) is a way for virtualization support of
Linux kernel on x86. Several ways for virtualization support were
proposed, paravirt_ops is the winner.
On the other hand, now there are also several IA64 virtualization
technologies like kvm/IA64, xen/IA64 and many other academic IA64
hypervisors so that it is good to add generic virtualization
infrastructure on Linux/IA64.
What is paravirt_ops?
---------------------
It has been developed on x86 as virtualization support via API, not ABI.
It allows each hypervisor to override operations which are important for
hypervisors at API level. And it allows a single kernel binary to run on
all supported execution environments including native machine.
Essentially paravirt_ops is a set of function pointers which represent
operations corresponding to low level sensitive instructions and high
level functionalities in various area. But one significant difference
from usual function pointer table is that it allows optimization with
binary patch. It is because some of these operations are very
performance sensitive and indirect call overhead is not negligible.
With binary patch, indirect C function call can be transformed into
direct C function call or in-place execution to eliminate the overhead.
Thus, operations of paravirt_ops are classified into three categories.
- simple indirect call
These operations correspond to high level functionality so that the
overhead of indirect call isn't very important.
- indirect call which allows optimization with binary patch
Usually these operations correspond to low level instructions. They
are called frequently and performance critical. So the overhead is
very important.
- a set of macros for hand written assembly code
Hand written assembly codes (.S files) also need paravirtualization
because they include sensitive instructions or some of code paths in
them are very performance critical.
The relation to the IA64 machine vector
---------------------------------------
Linux/IA64 has the IA64 machine vector functionality which allows the
kernel to switch implementations (e.g. initialization, ipi, dma api...)
depending on executing platform.
We can replace some implementations very easily defining a new machine
vector. Thus another approach for virtualization support would be
enhancing the machine vector functionality.
But paravirt_ops approach was taken because
- virtualization support needs wider support than machine vector does.
e.g. low level instruction paravirtualization. It must be
initialized very early before platform detection.
- virtualization support needs more functionality like binary patch.
Probably the calling overhead might not be very large compared to the
emulation overhead of virtualization. However in the native case, the
overhead should be eliminated completely.
A single kernel binary should run on each environment including native,
and the overhead of paravirt_ops on native environment should be as
small as possible.
- for full virtualization technology, e.g. KVM/IA64 or
Xen/IA64 HVM domain, the result would be
(the emulated platform machine vector. probably dig) + (pv_ops).
This means that the virtualization support layer should be under
the machine vector layer.
Possibly it might be better to move some function pointers from
paravirt_ops to machine vector. In fact, Xen domU case utilizes both
pv_ops and machine vector.
IA64 paravirt_ops
-----------------
In this section, the concrete paravirt_ops will be discussed.
Because of the architecture difference between ia64 and x86, the
resulting set of functions is very different from x86 pv_ops.
- C function pointer tables
They are not very performance critical so that simple C indirect
function call is acceptable. The following structures are defined at
this moment. For details see linux/include/asm-ia64/paravirt.h
- struct pv_info
This structure describes the execution environment.
- struct pv_init_ops
This structure describes the various initialization hooks.
- struct pv_iosapic_ops
This structure describes hooks to iosapic operations.
- struct pv_irq_ops
This structure describes hooks to irq related operations
- struct pv_time_op
This structure describes hooks to steal time accounting.
- a set of indirect calls which need optimization
Currently this class of functions correspond to a subset of IA64
intrinsics. At this moment the optimization with binary patch isn't
implemented yet.
struct pv_cpu_op is defined. For details see
linux/include/asm-ia64/paravirt_privop.h
Mostly they correspond to ia64 intrinsics 1-to-1.
Caveat: Now they are defined as C indirect function pointers, but in
order to support binary patch optimization, they will be changed
using GCC extended inline assembly code.
- a set of macros for hand written assembly code (.S files)
For maintenance purpose, the taken approach for .S files is single
source code and compile multiple times with different macros definitions.
Each pv_ops instance must define those macros to compile.
The important thing here is that sensitive, but non-privileged
instructions must be paravirtualized and that some privileged
instructions also need paravirtualization for reasonable performance.
Developers who modify .S files must be aware of that. At this moment
an easy checker is implemented to detect paravirtualization breakage.
But it doesn't cover all the cases.
Sometimes this set of macros is called pv_cpu_asm_op. But there is no
corresponding structure in the source code.
Those macros mostly 1:1 correspond to a subset of privileged
instructions. See linux/include/asm-ia64/native/inst.h.
And some functions written in assembly also need to be overrided so
that each pv_ops instance have to define some macros. Again see
linux/include/asm-ia64/native/inst.h.
Those structures must be initialized very early before start_kernel.
Probably initialized in head.S using multi entry point or some other trick.
For native case implementation see linux/arch/ia64/kernel/paravirt.c.

fail_over_mac
Specifies whether active-backup mode should set all slaves to

active interface (i.e., fail over the MAC address itself).
the same MAC address at enslavement (the traditional
behavior), or, when enabled, perform special handling of the
bond's MAC address in accordance with the selected policy.
Fail over MAC is useful for devices that cannot ever alter
their MAC address, or for devices that refuse incoming
broadcasts with their own source MAC (which interferes with
the ARP monitor).
Possible values are:
The down side of fail over MAC is that every device on the
network must be updated via gratuitous ARP, vs. just updating
a switch or set of switches (which often takes place for any
traffic, not just ARP traffic, if the switch snoops incoming
traffic to update its tables) for the traditional method. If
the gratuitous ARP is lost, communication may be disrupted.
none or 0
When fail over MAC is used in conjuction with the mii monitor,
devices which assert link up prior to being able to actually
transmit and receive are particularly susecptible to loss of
the gratuitous ARP, and an appropriate updelay setting may be
required.
This setting disables fail_over_mac, and causes
bonding to set all slaves of an active-backup bond to
the same MAC address at enslavement time. This is the
default.
A value of 0 disables fail over MAC, and is the default. A
value of 1 enables fail over MAC. This option is enabled
automatically if the first slave added cannot change its MAC
address. This option may be modified via sysfs only when no
slaves are present in the bond.
active or 1
This option was added in bonding version 3.2.0.
The "active" fail_over_mac policy indicates that the
MAC address of the bond should always be the MAC
address of the currently active slave. The MAC
address of the slaves is not changed; instead, the MAC
address of the bond changes during a failover.
This policy is useful for devices that cannot ever
alter their MAC address, or for devices that refuse
incoming broadcasts with their own source MAC (which
interferes with the ARP monitor).
The down side of this policy is that every device on
the network must be updated via gratuitous ARP,
vs. just updating a switch or set of switches (which
often takes place for any traffic, not just ARP
traffic, if the switch snoops incoming traffic to
update its tables) for the traditional method. If the
gratuitous ARP is lost, communication may be
disrupted.
When this policy is used in conjuction with the mii
monitor, devices which assert link up prior to being
able to actually transmit and receive are particularly
susecptible to loss of the gratuitous ARP, and an
appropriate updelay setting may be required.
follow or 2
The "follow" fail_over_mac policy causes the MAC
address of the bond to be selected normally (normally
the MAC address of the first slave added to the bond).
However, the second and subsequent slaves are not set
to this MAC address while they are in a backup role; a
slave is programmed with the bond's MAC address at
failover time (and the formerly active slave receives
the newly active slave's MAC address).
This policy is useful for multiport devices that
either become confused or incur a performance penalty
when multiple ports are programmed with the same MAC
address.
The default policy is none, unless the first slave cannot

DM9000 Network driver
=====================
Copyright 2008 Simtec Electronics,
Ben Dooks <ben@simtec.co.uk> <ben-linux@fluff.org>
Introduction
------------
This file describes how to use the DM9000 platform-device based network driver
that is contained in the files drivers/net/dm9000.c and drivers/net/dm9000.h.
The driver supports three DM9000 variants, the DM9000E which is the first chip
supported as well as the newer DM9000A and DM9000B devices. It is currently
maintained and tested by Ben Dooks, who should be CC: to any patches for this
driver.
Defining the platform device
----------------------------
The minimum set of resources attached to the platform device are as follows:
1) The physical address of the address register
2) The physical address of the data register
3) The IRQ line the device's interrupt pin is connected to.
These resources should be specified in that order, as the ordering of the
two address regions is important (the driver expects these to be address
and then data).
An example from arch/arm/mach-s3c2410/mach-bast.c is:
static struct resource bast_dm9k_resource[] = {
[0] = {
.start = S3C2410_CS5 + BAST_PA_DM9000,
.end = S3C2410_CS5 + BAST_PA_DM9000 + 3,
.flags = IORESOURCE_MEM,
},
[1] = {
.start = S3C2410_CS5 + BAST_PA_DM9000 + 0x40,
.end = S3C2410_CS5 + BAST_PA_DM9000 + 0x40 + 0x3f,
.flags = IORESOURCE_MEM,
},
[2] = {
.start = IRQ_DM9000,
.end = IRQ_DM9000,
.flags = IORESOURCE_IRQ | IORESOURCE_IRQ_HIGHLEVEL,
}
};
static struct platform_device bast_device_dm9k = {
.name = "dm9000",
.id = 0,
.num_resources = ARRAY_SIZE(bast_dm9k_resource),
.resource = bast_dm9k_resource,
};
Note the setting of the IRQ trigger flag in bast_dm9k_resource[2].flags,
as this will generate a warning if it is not present. The trigger from
the flags field will be passed to request_irq() when registering the IRQ
handler to ensure that the IRQ is setup correctly.
This shows a typical platform device, without the optional configuration
platform data supplied. The next example uses the same resources, but adds
the optional platform data to pass extra configuration data:
static struct dm9000_plat_data bast_dm9k_platdata = {
.flags = DM9000_PLATF_16BITONLY,
};
static struct platform_device bast_device_dm9k = {
.name = "dm9000",
.id = 0,
.num_resources = ARRAY_SIZE(bast_dm9k_resource),
.resource = bast_dm9k_resource,
.dev = {
.platform_data = &bast_dm9k_platdata,
}
};
The platform data is defined in include/linux/dm9000.h and described below.
Platform data
-------------
Extra platform data for the DM9000 can describe the IO bus width to the
device, whether or not an external PHY is attached to the device and
the availability of an external configuration EEPROM.
The flags for the platform data .flags field are as follows:
DM9000_PLATF_8BITONLY
The IO should be done with 8bit operations.
DM9000_PLATF_16BITONLY
The IO should be done with 16bit operations.
DM9000_PLATF_32BITONLY
The IO should be done with 32bit operations.
DM9000_PLATF_EXT_PHY
The chip is connected to an external PHY.
DM9000_PLATF_NO_EEPROM
This can be used to signify that the board does not have an
EEPROM, or that the EEPROM should be hidden from the user.
DM9000_PLATF_SIMPLE_PHY
Switch to using the simpler PHY polling method which does not
try and read the MII PHY state regularly. This is only available
when using the internal PHY. See the section on link state polling
for more information.
The config symbol DM9000_FORCE_SIMPLE_PHY_POLL, Kconfig entry
"Force simple NSR based PHY polling" allows this flag to be
forced on at build time.
PHY Link state polling
----------------------
The driver keeps track of the link state and informs the network core
about link (carrier) availablilty. This is managed by several methods
depending on the version of the chip and on which PHY is being used.
For the internal PHY, the original (and currently default) method is
to read the MII state, either when the status changes if we have the
necessary interrupt support in the chip or every two seconds via a
periodic timer.
To reduce the overhead for the internal PHY, there is now the option
of using the DM9000_FORCE_SIMPLE_PHY_POLL config, or DM9000_PLATF_SIMPLE_PHY
platform data option to read the summary information without the
expensive MII accesses. This method is faster, but does not print
as much information.
When using an external PHY, the driver currently has to poll the MII
link status as there is no method for getting an interrupt on link change.
DM9000A / DM9000B
-----------------
These chips are functionally similar to the DM9000E and are supported easily
by the same driver. The features are:
1) Interrupt on internal PHY state change. This means that the periodic
polling of the PHY status may be disabled on these devices when using
the internal PHY.
2) TCP/UDP checksum offloading, which the driver does not currently support.
ethtool
-------
The driver supports the ethtool interface for access to the driver
state information, the PHY state and the EEPROM.

mac80211_hwsim - software simulator of 802.11 radio(s) for mac80211

Introduction
mac80211_hwsim is a Linux kernel module that can be used to simulate
arbitrary number of IEEE 802.11 radios for mac80211. It can be used to
test most of the mac80211 functionality and user space tools (e.g.,
hostapd and wpa_supplicant) in a way that matches very closely with
the normal case of using real WLAN hardware. From the mac80211 view
point, mac80211_hwsim is yet another hardware driver, i.e., no changes
to mac80211 are needed to use this testing tool.
The main goal for mac80211_hwsim is to make it easier for developers
to test their code and work with new features to mac80211, hostapd,
and wpa_supplicant. The simulated radios do not have the limitations
of real hardware, so it is easy to generate an arbitrary test setup
and always reproduce the same setup for future tests. In addition,
since all radio operation is simulated, any channel can be used in
tests regardless of regulatory rules.
mac80211_hwsim kernel module has a parameter 'radios' that can be used
to select how many radios are simulated (default 2). This allows
configuration of both very simply setups (e.g., just a single access
point and a station) or large scale tests (multiple access points with
hundreds of stations).
mac80211_hwsim works by tracking the current channel of each virtual
radio and copying all transmitted frames to all other radios that are
currently enabled and on the same channel as the transmitting
radio. Software encryption in mac80211 is used so that the frames are
actually encrypted over the virtual air interface to allow more
complete testing of encryption.
A global monitoring netdev, hwsim#, is created independent of
mac80211. This interface can be used to monitor all transmitted frames
regardless of channel.
Simple example
This example shows how to use mac80211_hwsim to simulate two radios:
one to act as an access point and the other as a station that
associates with the AP. hostapd and wpa_supplicant are used to take
care of WPA2-PSK authentication. In addition, hostapd is also
processing access point side of association.
Please note that the current Linux kernel does not enable AP mode, so a
simple patch is needed to enable AP mode selection:
