What: /sys/kernel/debug/kmemtrace/
Date: July 2008

Description:
In kmemtrace-enabled kernels, the following files are created:
/sys/kernel/debug/kmemtrace/
cpu<n> (0400) Per-CPU tracing data, see below. (binary)
total_overruns (0400) Total number of bytes which were dropped from
cpu<n> files because of full buffer condition,
non-binary. (text)
abi_version (0400) Kernel's kmemtrace ABI version. (text)
Each per-CPU file should be read according to the relay interface. That is,
the reader should set affinity to that specific CPU and, as currently done by
the userspace application (though there are other methods), use poll() with
an infinite timeout before every read(). Otherwise, erroneous data may be
read. The binary data has the following _core_ format:
Event ID (1 byte) Unsigned integer, one of:
0 - represents an allocation (KMEMTRACE_EVENT_ALLOC)
1 - represents a freeing of previously allocated memory
(KMEMTRACE_EVENT_FREE)
Type ID (1 byte) Unsigned integer, one of:
0 - this is a kmalloc() / kfree()
1 - this is a kmem_cache_alloc() / kmem_cache_free()
2 - this is a __get_free_pages() et al.
Event size (2 bytes) Unsigned integer representing the
size of this event. Used to extend
kmemtrace. Discard the bytes you
don't know about.
Sequence number (4 bytes) Signed integer used to reorder data
logged on SMP machines. Wraparound
must be taken into account, although
it is unlikely.
Caller address (8 bytes) Return address to the caller.
Pointer to mem (8 bytes) Pointer to target memory area. Can be
NULL, but not all such calls might be
recorded.
In case of KMEMTRACE_EVENT_ALLOC events, the next fields follow:
Requested bytes (8 bytes) Total number of requested bytes,
unsigned, must not be zero.
Allocated bytes (8 bytes) Total number of actually allocated
bytes, unsigned, must not be lower
than requested bytes.
Requested flags (4 bytes) GFP flags supplied by the caller.
Target CPU (4 bytes) Signed integer, valid for event id 1.
If equal to -1, target CPU is the same
as origin CPU, but the reverse might
not be true.
The data is made available in the same endianness the machine has.
Other event ids and type ids may be defined and added. Other fields may be
added by increasing event size, but see below for details.
Every modification to the ABI, including new id definitions, are followed
by bumping the ABI version by one.
Adding new data to the packet (features) is done at the end of the mandatory
data:
Feature size (2 byte)
Feature ID (1 byte)
Feature data (Feature size - 3 bytes)

Part III - Debug drivers use of the DMA-API
-------------------------------------------
The DMA-API as described above as some constraints. DMA addresses must be
released with the corresponding function with the same size for example. With
the advent of hardware IOMMUs it becomes more and more important that drivers
do not violate those constraints. In the worst case such a violation can
result in data corruption up to destroyed filesystems.
To debug drivers and find bugs in the usage of the DMA-API checking code can
be compiled into the kernel which will tell the developer about those
violations. If your architecture supports it you can select the "Enable
debugging of DMA-API usage" option in your kernel configuration. Enabling this
option has a performance impact. Do not enable it in production kernels.
If you boot the resulting kernel will contain code which does some bookkeeping
about what DMA memory was allocated for which device. If this code detects an
error it prints a warning message with some details into your kernel log. An
example warning message may look like this:
------------[ cut here ]------------

The driver developer can find the driver and the device including a stacktrace
of the DMA-API call which caused this warning.
Per default only the first error will result in a warning message. All other
errors will only silently counted. This limitation exist to prevent the code
from flooding your kernel log. To support debugging a device driver this can
be disabled via debugfs. See the debugfs interface documentation below for
details.
The debugfs directory for the DMA-API debugging code is called dma-api/. In
this directory the following files can currently be found:
dma-api/all_errors This file contains a numeric value. If this
value is not equal to zero the debugging code
will print a warning for every error it finds
into the kernel log. Be carefull with this
option. It can easily flood your logs.
dma-api/disabled This read-only file contains the character 'Y'
if the debugging code is disabled. This can
happen when it runs out of memory or if it was
disabled at boot time
dma-api/error_count This file is read-only and shows the total
numbers of errors found.
dma-api/num_errors The number in this file shows how many
warnings will be printed to the kernel log
before it stops. This number is initialized to
one at system boot and be set by writing into
this file
dma-api/min_free_entries
This read-only file can be read to get the
minimum number of free dma_debug_entries the
allocator has ever seen. If this value goes
down to zero the code will disable itself
because it is not longer reliable.
dma-api/num_free_entries
The current number of free dma_debug_entries
in the allocator.
If you have this code compiled into your kernel it will be enabled by default.
If you want to boot without the bookkeeping anyway you can provide
'dma_debug=off' as a boot parameter. This will disable DMA-API debugging.
Notice that you can not enable it again at runtime. You have to reboot to do
so.
When the code disables itself at runtime this is most likely because it ran
out of dma_debug_entries. These entries are preallocated at boot. The number
of preallocated entries is defined per architecture. If it is too low for you
boot with 'dma_debug_entries=<your_desired_number>' to overwrite the
architectural default.

PCI Express I/O Virtualization Howto
Copyright (C) 2009 Intel Corporation
Yu Zhao <yu.zhao@intel.com>
1. Overview
1.1 What is SR-IOV
Single Root I/O Virtualization (SR-IOV) is a PCI Express Extended
capability which makes one physical device appear as multiple virtual
devices. The physical device is referred to as Physical Function (PF)
while the virtual devices are referred to as Virtual Functions (VF).
Allocation of the VF can be dynamically controlled by the PF via
registers encapsulated in the capability. By default, this feature is
not enabled and the PF behaves as traditional PCIe device. Once it's
turned on, each VF's PCI configuration space can be accessed by its own
Bus, Device and Function Number (Routing ID). And each VF also has PCI
Memory Space, which is used to map its register set. VF device driver
operates on the register set so it can be functional and appear as a
real existing PCI device.
2. User Guide
2.1 How can I enable SR-IOV capability
The device driver (PF driver) will control the enabling and disabling
of the capability via API provided by SR-IOV core. If the hardware
has SR-IOV capability, loading its PF driver would enable it and all
VFs associated with the PF.
2.2 How can I use the Virtual Functions
The VF is treated as hot-plugged PCI devices in the kernel, so they
should be able to work in the same way as real PCI devices. The VF
requires device driver that is same as a normal PCI device's.
3. Developer Guide
3.1 SR-IOV API
To enable SR-IOV capability:
int pci_enable_sriov(struct pci_dev *dev, int nr_virtfn);
'nr_virtfn' is number of VFs to be enabled.
To disable SR-IOV capability:
void pci_disable_sriov(struct pci_dev *dev);
To notify SR-IOV core of Virtual Function Migration:
irqreturn_t pci_sriov_migration(struct pci_dev *dev);
3.2 Usage example
Following piece of code illustrates the usage of the SR-IOV API.
static int __devinit dev_probe(struct pci_dev *dev, const struct pci_device_id *id)
{
pci_enable_sriov(dev, NR_VIRTFN);
...
return 0;
}
static void __devexit dev_remove(struct pci_dev *dev)
{
pci_disable_sriov(dev);
...
}
static int dev_suspend(struct pci_dev *dev, pm_message_t state)
{
...
return 0;
}
static int dev_resume(struct pci_dev *dev)
{
...
return 0;
}
static void dev_shutdown(struct pci_dev *dev)
{
...
}
static struct pci_driver dev_driver = {
.name = "SR-IOV Physical Function driver",
.id_table = dev_id_table,
.probe = dev_probe,
.remove = __devexit_p(dev_remove),
.suspend = dev_suspend,
.resume = dev_resume,
.shutdown = dev_shutdown,
};

This work is largely completed. Realtime-friendly RCU can be
enabled via the CONFIG_PREEMPT_RCU kernel configuration parameter.
However, work is in progress for enabling priority boosting of
preempted RCU read-side critical sections.This is needed if you
preempted RCU read-side critical sections. This is needed if you
have CPU-bound realtime threads.
o Where can I find more information on RCU?
