scenario it may account a) the number of pages freed because
of swap slot free notifications or b) the number of pages freed
because of REQ_DISCARD requests sent by bio. The former ones
are sent to a swap block device when a swap slot is freed, which
implies that this disk is being used as a swap disk. The latter
ones are sent by filesystem mounted with discard option,
whenever some data blocks are getting discarded.

Description:
This file allows to specify the interval after which the
keyboard illumination is disabled because of inactivity.
The timeouts are expressed in seconds, minutes, hours and
days, for which the symbols are 's', 'm', 'h' and 'd'
respectively.
To configure the timeout, write to this file a value along
with any the above units. If no unit is specified, the value
is assumed to be expressed in seconds.
For example, to set the timeout to 10 minutes run:
echo 10m > /sys/class/leds/dell::kbd_backlight/stop_timeout
Note that when this file is read, the returned value might be
expressed in a different unit than the one used when the timeout
was set.
Also note that only some timeouts are supported and that
some systems might fall back to a specific timeout in case
an invalid timeout is written to this file.

The following ASCII art decomposes the kernel crypto API layers
when using the AEAD cipher with the automated IV generation. The

<para>
For other use cases of AEAD ciphers, the ASCII art applies as
well, but the caller may not use the GIVCIPHER interface. In
this case, the caller must generate the IV.

The depicted example decomposes the AEAD cipher of GCM(AES) based
on the generic C implementations (gcm.c, aes-generic.c, ctr.c,
ghash-generic.c, seqiv.c). The generic implementation serves as an
example showing the complete logic of the kernel crypto API.
</para>
<para>
It is possible that some streamlined cipher implementations (like
AES-NI) provide implementations merging aspects which in the view
of the kernel crypto API cannot be decomposed into layers any more.
In case of the AES-NI implementation, the CTR mode, the GHASH
implementation and the AES cipher are all merged into one cipher
implementation registered with the kernel crypto API. In this case,
the concept described by the following ASCII art applies too. However,
the decomposition of GCM into the individual sub-components
by the kernel crypto API is not done any more.
</para>
<para>
Each block in the following ASCII art is an independent cipher
instance obtained from the kernel crypto API. Each block
is accessed by the caller or by other blocks using the API functions
defined by the kernel crypto API for the cipher implementation type.

The blocks below indicate the cipher type as well as the specific
logic implemented in the cipher.

The following call sequence is applicable when the IPSEC layer

In addition, the setsockopt option type is SOL_ALG. In case the

A cipher is accessed with the same name as done for the in-kernel
API calls. This includes the generic vs. unique naming schema for
ciphers as well as the enforcement of priorities for generic names.
</para>
<para>
To interact with the kernel crypto API, a socket must be
created by the user space application. User space invokes the cipher
operation with the send()/write() system call family. The result of the
cipher operation is obtained with the read()/recv() system call family.
</para>
<para>
The following API calls assume that the socket descriptor
is already opened by the user space application and discusses only
the kernel crypto API specific invocations.

</sect1>
<sect1><title>In-place Cipher operation</title>
<para>
Just like the in-kernel operation of the kernel crypto API, the user
space interface allows the cipher operation in-place. That means that
the input buffer used for the send/write system call and the output
buffer used by the read/recv system call may be one and the same.
This is of particular interest for symmetric cipher operations where a
copying of the output data to its final destination can be avoided.
</para>
<para>
If a consumer on the other hand wants to maintain the plaintext and
the ciphertext in different memory locations, all a consumer needs
to do is to provide different memory pointers for the encryption and
decryption operation.
</para>
</sect1>
<sect1><title>Message Digest API</title>
<para>
The message digest type to be used for the cipher operation is
selected when invoking the bind syscall. bind requires the caller
to provide a filled struct sockaddr data structure. This data
structure must be filled as follows:
</para>
<programlisting>
struct sockaddr_alg sa = {
.salg_family = AF_ALG,
.salg_type = "hash", /* this selects the hash logic in the kernel */
.salg_name = "sha1" /* this is the cipher name */
};
</programlisting>
<para>
The salg_type value "hash" applies to message digests and keyed
message digests. Though, a keyed message digest is referenced by
the appropriate salg_name. Please see below for the setsockopt
interface that explains how the key can be set for a keyed message
digest.
</para>
<para>
Using the send() system call, the application provides the data that
should be processed with the message digest. The send system call
allows the following flags to be specified:
</para>
<itemizedlist>
<listitem>
<para>
MSG_MORE: If this flag is set, the send system call acts like a
message digest update function where the final hash is not
yet calculated. If the flag is not set, the send system call
calculates the final message digest immediately.
</para>
</listitem>
</itemizedlist>
<para>
With the recv() system call, the application can read the message
digest from the kernel crypto API. If the buffer is too small for the
message digest, the flag MSG_TRUNC is set by the kernel.
</para>
<para>
In order to set a message digest key, the calling application must use
the setsockopt() option of ALG_SET_KEY. If the key is not set the HMAC
operation is performed without the initial HMAC state change caused by
the key.
</para>

<sect1><title>Random Number Generator API</title>
<para>
Again, the operation is very similar to the other APIs.
During initialization, the struct sockaddr data structure must be
filled as follows:
</para>
<programlisting>
struct sockaddr_alg sa = {
.salg_family = AF_ALG,
.salg_type = "rng", /* this selects the symmetric cipher */
.salg_name = "drbg_nopr_sha256" /* this is the cipher name */
};
</programlisting>
<para>
Depending on the RNG type, the RNG must be seeded. The seed is provided
using the setsockopt interface to set the key. For example, the
ansi_cprng requires a seed. The DRBGs do not require a seed, but
may be seeded.
</para>
<para>
Using the read()/recvmsg() system calls, random numbers can be obtained.
The kernel generates at most 128 bytes in one call. If user space
requires more data, multiple calls to read()/recvmsg() must be made.
</para>
<para>
WARNING: The user space caller may invoke the initially mentioned
accept system call multiple times. In this case, the returned file
descriptors have the same state.
</para>
</sect1>
<sect1><title>Zero-Copy Interface</title>
<para>
In addition to the send/write/read/recv system call familty, the AF_ALG
interface can be accessed with the zero-copy interface of splice/vmsplice.
As the name indicates, the kernel tries to avoid a copy operation into
kernel space.
</para>
<para>
The zero-copy operation requires data to be aligned at the page boundary.
Non-aligned data can be used as well, but may require more operations of
the kernel which would defeat the speed gains obtained from the zero-copy
interface.
</para>
<para>
The system-interent limit for the size of one zero-copy operation is
16 pages. If more data is to be sent to AF_ALG, user space must slice
the input into segments with a maximum size of 16 pages.
</para>
<para>
Zero-copy can be used with the following code example (a complete working
example is provided with libkcapi):
</para>
<programlisting>
int pipes[2];
pipe(pipes);
/* input data in iov */
vmsplice(pipes[1], iov, iovlen, SPLICE_F_GIFT);
/* opfd is the file descriptor returned from accept() system call */
splice(pipes[0], NULL, opfd, NULL, ret, 0);
read(opfd, out, outlen);
</programlisting>
</sect1>
<sect1><title>Setsockopt Interface</title>
<para>
In addition to the read/recv and send/write system call handling
to send and retrieve data subject to the cipher operation, a consumer
also needs to set the additional information for the cipher operation.
This additional information is set using the setsockopt system call
that must be invoked with the file descriptor of the open cipher
(i.e. the file descriptor returned by the accept system call).
</para>
<para>
Each setsockopt invocation must use the level SOL_ALG.
</para>
<para>
The setsockopt interface allows setting the following data using
the mentioned optname:

ROM-able zImage boot from MMC
-----------------------------
An ROM-able zImage compiled with ZBOOT_ROM_MMCIF may be written to MMC and
SuperH Mobile ARM will to boot directly from the MMCIF hardware block.
This is achieved by the mask ROM loading the first portion of the image into
MERAM and then jumping to it. This portion contains loader code which
copies the entire image to SDRAM and jumps to it. From there the zImage
boot code proceeds as normal, uncompressing the image into its final
location and then jumping to it.
This code has been tested on an AP4EB board using the developer 1A eMMC
boot mode which is configured using the following jumper settings.
The board used for testing required a patched mask ROM in order for
this mode to function.

The eSD card needs to be present in SDHI slot 1 (CN7).
As such S1 and S33 also need to be configured as per

A partial zImage must be written to physical partition #1 (boot)
of the eSD at sector 0 in vrl4 format. A utility vrl4 is supplied to
accomplish this.
e.g.
vrl4 < zImage | dd of=/dev/sdX bs=512 count=17
A full copy of _the same_ zImage should be written to physical partition #1
(boot) of the eSD at sector 0. This should _not_ be in vrl4 format.
vrl4 < zImage | dd of=/dev/sdX bs=512
Note: The commands above assume that the physical partition has been
switched. No such facility currently exists in the Linux Kernel.
Physical partitions are described in the eSD specification. At the time of
writing they are not the same as partitions that are typically configured
using fdisk and visible through /proc/partitions

This document provides an overview of the msm_gpiomux interface, which
is used to provide gpio pin multiplexing and configuration on mach-msm
targets.
History
=======
The first-generation API for gpio configuration & multiplexing on msm
is the function gpio_tlmm_config(). This function has a few notable
shortcomings, which led to its deprecation and replacement by gpiomux:
The 'disable' parameter: Setting the second parameter to
gpio_tlmm_config to GPIO_CFG_DISABLE tells the peripheral
processor in charge of the subsystem to perform a look-up into a
low-power table and apply the low-power/sleep setting for the pin.
As the msm family evolved this became problematic. Not all pins
have sleep settings, not all peripheral processors will accept requests
to apply said sleep settings, and not all msm targets have their gpio
subsystems managed by a peripheral processor. In order to get consistent
behavior on all targets, drivers are forced to ignore this parameter,
rendering it useless.
The 'direction' flag: for all mux-settings other than raw-gpio (0),
the output-enable bit of a gpio is hard-wired to a known
input (usually VDD or ground). For those settings, the direction flag
is meaningless at best, and deceptive at worst. In addition, using the
direction flag to change output-enable (OE) directly can cause trouble in
gpiolib, which has no visibility into gpio direction changes made
in this way. Direction control in gpio mode should be made through gpiolib.
Key Features of gpiomux
=======================
- A consistent interface across all generations of msm. Drivers can expect
the same results on every target.
- gpiomux plays nicely with gpiolib. Functions that should belong to gpiolib
are left to gpiolib and not duplicated here. gpiomux is written with the
intent that gpio_chips will call gpiomux reference-counting methods
from their request() and free() hooks, providing full integration.
- Tabular configuration. Instead of having to call gpio_tlmm_config
hundreds of times, gpio configuration is placed in a single table.
- Per-gpio sleep. Each gpio is individually reference counted, allowing only
those lines which are in use to be put in high-power states.
- 0 means 'do nothing': all flags are designed so that the default memset-zero
equates to a sensible default of 'no configuration', preventing users
from having to provide hundreds of 'no-op' configs for unused or
unwanted lines.
Usage
=====
To use gpiomux, provide configuration information for relevant gpio lines
in the msm_gpiomux_configs table. Since a 0 equates to "unconfigured",
only those lines to be managed by gpiomux need to be specified. Here
is a completely fictional example:
struct msm_gpiomux_config msm_gpiomux_configs[GPIOMUX_NGPIOS] = {
[12] = {
.active = GPIOMUX_VALID | GPIOMUX_DRV_8MA | GPIOMUX_FUNC_1,
.suspended = GPIOMUX_VALID | GPIOMUX_PULL_DOWN,
},
[34] = {
.suspended = GPIOMUX_VALID | GPIOMUX_PULL_DOWN,
},
};
To indicate that a gpio is in use, call msm_gpiomux_get() to increase
its reference count. To decrease the reference count, call msm_gpiomux_put().
The effect of this configuration is as follows:
When the system boots, gpios 12 and 34 will be initialized with their
'suspended' configurations. All other gpios, which were left unconfigured,
will not be touched.
When msm_gpiomux_get() is called on gpio 12 to raise its reference count
above 0, its active configuration will be applied. Since no other gpio
line has a valid active configuration, msm_gpiomux_get() will have no
effect on any other line.
When msm_gpiomux_put() is called on gpio 12 or 34 to drop their reference
count to 0, their suspended configurations will be applied.
Since no other gpio line has a valid suspended configuration, no other
gpio line will be effected by msm_gpiomux_put(). Since gpio 34 has no valid
active configuration, this is effectively a no-op for gpio 34 as well,
with one small caveat, see the section "About Output-Enable Settings".
All of the GPIOMUX_VALID flags may seem like unnecessary overhead, but
they address some important issues. As unused entries (all those
except 12 and 34) are zero-filled, gpiomux needs a way to distinguish
the used fields from the unused. In addition, the all-zero pattern
is a valid configuration! Therefore, gpiomux defines an additional bit
which is used to indicate when a field is used. This has the pleasant
side-effect of allowing calls to msm_gpiomux_write to use '0' to indicate
that a value should not be changed:
msm_gpiomux_write(0, GPIOMUX_VALID, 0);
replaces the active configuration of gpio 0 with an all-zero configuration,
but leaves the suspended configuration as it was.
Static Configurations
=====================
To install a static configuration, which is applied at boot and does
not change after that, install a configuration with a suspended component
but no active component, as in the previous example:
[34] = {
.suspended = GPIOMUX_VALID | GPIOMUX_PULL_DOWN,
},
The suspended setting is applied during boot, and the lack of any valid
active setting prevents any other setting from being applied at runtime.
If other subsystems attempting to access the line is a concern, one could
*really* anchor the configuration down by calling msm_gpiomux_get on the
line at initialization to move the line into active mode. With the line
held, it will never be re-suspended, and with no valid active configuration,
no new configurations will be applied.
But then, if having other subsystems grabbing for the line is truly a concern,
it should be reserved with gpio_request instead, which carries an implicit
msm_gpiomux_get.
gpiomux and gpiolib
===================
It is expected that msm gpio_chips will call msm_gpiomux_get() and
msm_gpiomux_put() from their request and free hooks, like this fictional
example:
static int request(struct gpio_chip *chip, unsigned offset)
{
return msm_gpiomux_get(chip->base + offset);
}
static void free(struct gpio_chip *chip, unsigned offset)
{
msm_gpiomux_put(chip->base + offset);
}
...somewhere in a gpio_chip declaration...
.request = request,
.free = free,
This provides important functionality:
- It guarantees that a gpio line will have its 'active' config applied
when the line is requested, and will not be suspended while the line
remains requested; and
- It guarantees that gpio-direction settings from gpiolib behave sensibly.
See "About Output-Enable Settings."
This mechanism allows for "auto-request" of gpiomux lines via gpiolib
when it is suitable. Drivers wishing more exact control are, of course,
free to also use msm_gpiomux_set and msm_gpiomux_get.
About Output-Enable Settings
============================
Some msm targets do not have the ability to query the current gpio
configuration setting. This means that changes made to the output-enable
(OE) bit by gpiolib cannot be consistently detected and preserved by gpiomux.
Therefore, when gpiomux applies a configuration setting, any direction
settings which may have been applied by gpiolib are lost and the default
input settings are re-applied.
For this reason, drivers should not assume that gpio direction settings
continue to hold if they free and then re-request a gpio. This seems like
common sense - after all, anybody could have obtained the line in the
meantime - but it needs saying.
This also means that calls to msm_gpiomux_write will reset the OE bit,
which means that if the gpio line is held by a client of gpiolib and
msm_gpiomux_write is called, the direction setting has been lost and
gpiolib's internal state has been broken.
Release gpio lines before reconfiguring them.

ACPI Tables
-----------
The expectations of individual ACPI tables are discussed in the list that
follows.
If a section number is used, it refers to a section number in the ACPI
specification where the object is defined. If "Signature Reserved" is used,
the table signature (the first four bytes of the table) is the only portion
of the table recognized by the specification, and the actual table is defined
outside of the UEFI Forum (see Section 5.2.6 of the specification).
For ACPI on arm64, tables also fall into the following categories:
-- Required: DSDT, FADT, GTDT, MADT, MCFG, RSDP, SPCR, XSDT
-- Recommended: BERT, EINJ, ERST, HEST, SSDT
-- Optional: BGRT, CPEP, CSRT, DRTM, ECDT, FACS, FPDT, MCHI, MPST,
MSCT, RASF, SBST, SLIT, SPMI, SRAT, TCPA, TPM2, UEFI
-- Not supported: BOOT, DBG2, DBGP, DMAR, ETDT, HPET, IBFT, IVRS,
LPIT, MSDM, RSDT, SLIC, WAET, WDAT, WDRT, WPBT
Table Usage for ARMv8 Linux
----- ----------------------------------------------------------------
BERT Section 18.3 (signature == "BERT")
== Boot Error Record Table ==
Must be supplied if RAS support is provided by the platform. It
is recommended this table be supplied.
BOOT Signature Reserved (signature == "BOOT")
== simple BOOT flag table ==
Microsoft only table, will not be supported.
BGRT Section 5.2.22 (signature == "BGRT")
== Boot Graphics Resource Table ==
Optional, not currently supported, with no real use-case for an
ARM server.
CPEP Section 5.2.18 (signature == "CPEP")
== Corrected Platform Error Polling table ==
Optional, not currently supported, and not recommended until such
time as ARM-compatible hardware is available, and the specification
suitably modified.
CSRT Signature Reserved (signature == "CSRT")
== Core System Resources Table ==
Optional, not currently supported.
DBG2 Signature Reserved (signature == "DBG2")
== DeBuG port table 2 ==
Microsoft only table, will not be supported.
DBGP Signature Reserved (signature == "DBGP")
== DeBuG Port table ==
Microsoft only table, will not be supported.
DSDT Section 5.2.11.1 (signature == "DSDT")
== Differentiated System Description Table ==
A DSDT is required; see also SSDT.
ACPI tables contain only one DSDT but can contain one or more SSDTs,
which are optional. Each SSDT can only add to the ACPI namespace,
but cannot modify or replace anything in the DSDT.
DMAR Signature Reserved (signature == "DMAR")
== DMA Remapping table ==
x86 only table, will not be supported.
DRTM Signature Reserved (signature == "DRTM")
== Dynamic Root of Trust for Measurement table ==
Optional, not currently supported.
ECDT Section 5.2.16 (signature == "ECDT")
== Embedded Controller Description Table ==
Optional, not currently supported, but could be used on ARM if and
only if one uses the GPE_BIT field to represent an IRQ number, since
there are no GPE blocks defined in hardware reduced mode. This would
need to be modified in the ACPI specification.
EINJ Section 18.6 (signature == "EINJ")
== Error Injection table ==
This table is very useful for testing platform response to error
conditions; it allows one to inject an error into the system as
if it had actually occurred. However, this table should not be
shipped with a production system; it should be dynamically loaded
and executed with the ACPICA tools only during testing.
ERST Section 18.5 (signature == "ERST")
== Error Record Serialization Table ==
On a platform supports RAS, this table must be supplied if it is not
UEFI-based; if it is UEFI-based, this table may be supplied. When this
table is not present, UEFI run time service will be utilized to save
and retrieve hardware error information to and from a persistent store.
ETDT Signature Reserved (signature == "ETDT")
== Event Timer Description Table ==
Obsolete table, will not be supported.
FACS Section 5.2.10 (signature == "FACS")
== Firmware ACPI Control Structure ==
It is unlikely that this table will be terribly useful. If it is
provided, the Global Lock will NOT be used since it is not part of
the hardware reduced profile, and only 64-bit address fields will
be considered valid.
FADT Section 5.2.9 (signature == "FACP")
== Fixed ACPI Description Table ==
Required for arm64.
The HW_REDUCED_ACPI flag must be set. All of the fields that are
to be ignored when HW_REDUCED_ACPI is set are expected to be set to
zero.
If an FACS table is provided, the X_FIRMWARE_CTRL field is to be
used, not FIRMWARE_CTRL.
If PSCI is used (as is recommended), make sure that ARM_BOOT_ARCH is
filled in properly -- that the PSCI_COMPLIANT flag is set and that
PSCI_USE_HVC is set or unset as needed (see table 5-37).
For the DSDT that is also required, the X_DSDT field is to be used,
not the DSDT field.
FPDT Section 5.2.23 (signature == "FPDT")
== Firmware Performance Data Table ==
Optional, not currently supported.
GTDT Section 5.2.24 (signature == "GTDT")
== Generic Timer Description Table ==
Required for arm64.
HEST Section 18.3.2 (signature == "HEST")
== Hardware Error Source Table ==
Until further error source types are defined, use only types 6 (AER
Root Port), 7 (AER Endpoint), 8 (AER Bridge), or 9 (Generic Hardware
Error Source). Firmware first error handling is possible if and only
if Trusted Firmware is being used on arm64.
Must be supplied if RAS support is provided by the platform. It
is recommended this table be supplied.
HPET Signature Reserved (signature == "HPET")
== High Precision Event timer Table ==
x86 only table, will not be supported.
IBFT Signature Reserved (signature == "IBFT")
== iSCSI Boot Firmware Table ==
Microsoft defined table, support TBD.
IVRS Signature Reserved (signature == "IVRS")
== I/O Virtualization Reporting Structure ==
x86_64 (AMD) only table, will not be supported.
LPIT Signature Reserved (signature == "LPIT")
== Low Power Idle Table ==
x86 only table as of ACPI 5.1; future versions have been adapted for
use with ARM and will be recommended in order to support ACPI power
management.
MADT Section 5.2.12 (signature == "APIC")
== Multiple APIC Description Table ==
Required for arm64. Only the GIC interrupt controller structures
should be used (types 0xA - 0xE).
MCFG Signature Reserved (signature == "MCFG")
== Memory-mapped ConFiGuration space ==
If the platform supports PCI/PCIe, an MCFG table is required.
MCHI Signature Reserved (signature == "MCHI")
== Management Controller Host Interface table ==
Optional, not currently supported.
MPST Section 5.2.21 (signature == "MPST")
== Memory Power State Table ==
Optional, not currently supported.
MSDM Signature Reserved (signature == "MSDM")
== Microsoft Data Management table ==
Microsoft only table, will not be supported.
MSCT Section 5.2.19 (signature == "MSCT")
== Maximum System Characteristic Table ==
Optional, not currently supported.
RASF Section 5.2.20 (signature == "RASF")
== RAS Feature table ==
Optional, not currently supported.
RSDP Section 5.2.5 (signature == "RSD PTR")
== Root System Description PoinTeR ==
Required for arm64.
RSDT Section 5.2.7 (signature == "RSDT")
== Root System Description Table ==
Since this table can only provide 32-bit addresses, it is deprecated
on arm64, and will not be used.
SBST Section 5.2.14 (signature == "SBST")
== Smart Battery Subsystem Table ==
Optional, not currently supported.
SLIC Signature Reserved (signature == "SLIC")
== Software LIcensing table ==
Microsoft only table, will not be supported.
SLIT Section 5.2.17 (signature == "SLIT")
== System Locality distance Information Table ==
Optional in general, but required for NUMA systems.
SPCR Signature Reserved (signature == "SPCR")
== Serial Port Console Redirection table ==
Required for arm64.
SPMI Signature Reserved (signature == "SPMI")
== Server Platform Management Interface table ==
Optional, not currently supported.
SRAT Section 5.2.16 (signature == "SRAT")
== System Resource Affinity Table ==
Optional, but if used, only the GICC Affinity structures are read.
To support NUMA, this table is required.
SSDT Section 5.2.11.2 (signature == "SSDT")
== Secondary System Description Table ==
These tables are a continuation of the DSDT; these are recommended
for use with devices that can be added to a running system, but can
also serve the purpose of dividing up device descriptions into more
manageable pieces.
An SSDT can only ADD to the ACPI namespace. It cannot modify or
replace existing device descriptions already in the namespace.
These tables are optional, however. ACPI tables should contain only
one DSDT but can contain many SSDTs.
TCPA Signature Reserved (signature == "TCPA")
== Trusted Computing Platform Alliance table ==
Optional, not currently supported, and may need changes to fully
interoperate with arm64.

ACPI Objects
------------
The expectations on individual ACPI objects are discussed in the list that
follows:
Name Section Usage for ARMv8 Linux
---- ------------ -------------------------------------------------
_ADR 6.1.1 Use as needed.
_BBN 6.5.5 Use as needed; PCI-specific.
_BDN 6.5.3 Optional; not likely to be used on arm64.
_CCA 6.2.17 This method should be defined for all bus masters
on arm64. While cache coherency is assumed, making
it explicit ensures the kernel will set up DMA as
it should.
_CDM 6.2.1 Optional, to be used only for processor devices.
_CID 6.1.2 Use as needed.
_CLS 6.1.3 Use as needed.
_CRS 6.2.2 Required on arm64.
_DCK 6.5.2 Optional; not likely to be used on arm64.
_DDN 6.1.4 This field can be used for a device name. However,
it is meant for DOS device names (e.g., COM1), so be
careful of its use across OSes.
_DEP 6.5.8 Use as needed.
_DIS 6.2.3 Optional, for power management use.
_DLM 5.7.5 Optional.
_DMA 6.2.4 Optional.
_DSD 6.2.5 To be used with caution. If this object is used, try
to use it within the constraints already defined by the
Device Properties UUID. Only in rare circumstances
should it be necessary to create a new _DSD UUID.
In either case, submit the _DSD definition along with
any driver patches for discussion, especially when
device properties are used. A driver will not be
considered complete without a corresponding _DSD
description. Once approved by kernel maintainers,
the UUID or device properties must then be registered
with the UEFI Forum; this may cause some iteration as
more than one OS will be registering entries.
_DSM Do not use this method. It is not standardized, the
return values are not well documented, and it is
currently a frequent source of error.
_DSW 7.2.1 Use as needed; power management specific.
_EDL 6.3.1 Optional.
_EJD 6.3.2 Optional.
_EJx 6.3.3 Optional.
_FIX 6.2.7 x86 specific, not used on arm64.
\_GL 5.7.1 This object is not to be used in hardware reduced
mode, and therefore should not be used on arm64.
_GLK 6.5.7 This object requires a global lock be defined; there
is no global lock on arm64 since it runs in hardware
reduced mode. Hence, do not use this object on arm64.
\_GPE 5.3.1 This namespace is for x86 use only. Do not use it
on arm64.
_GSB 6.2.7 Optional.
_HID 6.1.5 Use as needed. This is the primary object to use in
device probing, though _CID and _CLS may also be used.
_HPP 6.2.8 Optional, PCI specific.
_HPX 6.2.9 Optional, PCI specific.
_HRV 6.1.6 Optional, use as needed to clarify device behavior; in
some cases, this may be easier to use than _DSD.
_INI 6.5.1 Not required, but can be useful in setting up devices
when UEFI leaves them in a state that may not be what
the driver expects before it starts probing.
_IRC 7.2.15 Use as needed; power management specific.
_LCK 6.3.4 Optional.
_MAT 6.2.10 Optional; see also the MADT.
_MLS 6.1.7 Optional, but highly recommended for use in
internationalization.
_OFF 7.1.2 It is recommended to define this method for any device
that can be turned on or off.
_ON 7.1.3 It is recommended to define this method for any device
that can be turned on or off.
\_OS 5.7.3 This method will return "Linux" by default (this is
the value of the macro ACPI_OS_NAME on Linux). The
command line parameter acpi_os=<string> can be used
to set it to some other value.
_OSC 6.2.11 This method can be a global method in ACPI (i.e.,
\_SB._OSC), or it may be associated with a specific
device (e.g., \_SB.DEV0._OSC), or both. When used
as a global method, only capabilities published in
the ACPI specification are allowed. When used as
a device-specific method, the process described for
using _DSD MUST be used to create an _OSC definition;
out-of-process use of _OSC is not allowed. That is,
submit the device-specific _OSC usage description as
part of the kernel driver submission, get it approved
by the kernel community, then register it with the
UEFI Forum.
\_OSI 5.7.2 Deprecated on ARM64. Any invocation of this method
will print a warning on the console and return false.
That is, as far as ACPI firmware is concerned, _OSI
cannot be used to determine what sort of system is
being used or what functionality is provided. The
_OSC method is to be used instead.
_OST 6.3.5 Optional.
_PDC 8.4.1 Deprecated, do not use on arm64.
\_PIC 5.8.1 The method should not be used. On arm64, the only
interrupt model available is GIC.
_PLD 6.1.8 Optional.
\_PR 5.3.1 This namespace is for x86 use only on legacy systems.
Do not use it on arm64.
_PRS 6.2.12 Optional.
_PRT 6.2.13 Required as part of the definition of all PCI root
devices.
_PRW 7.2.13 Use as needed; power management specific.
_PRx 7.2.8-11 Use as needed; power management specific. If _PR0 is
defined, _PR3 must also be defined.
_PSC 7.2.6 Use as needed; power management specific.

ACPI Event Model
----------------
Do not use GPE block devices; these are not supported in the hardware reduced
profile used by arm64. Since there are no GPE blocks defined for use on ARM
platforms, GPIO-signaled interrupts should be used for creating system events.
ACPI Processor Control
----------------------
Section 8 of the ACPI specification is currently undergoing change that
should be completed in the 6.0 version of the specification. Processor
performance control will be handled differently for arm64 at that point
in time. Processor aggregator devices (section 8.5) will not be used,
for example, but another similar mechanism instead.
While UEFI constrains what we can say until the release of 6.0, it is
recommended that CPPC (8.4.5) be used as the primary model. This will
still be useful into the future. C-states and P-states will still be
provided, but most of the current design work appears to favor CPPC.
Further, it is essential that the ARMv8 SoC provide a fully functional
implementation of PSCI; this will be the only mechanism supported by ACPI
to control CPU power state (including secondary CPU booting).
More details will be provided on the release of the ACPI 6.0 specification.
ACPI System Address Map Interfaces
----------------------------------
In Section 15 of the ACPI specification, several methods are mentioned as
possible mechanisms for conveying memory resource information to the kernel.
For arm64, we will only support UEFI for booting with ACPI, hence the UEFI
GetMemoryMap() boot service is the only mechanism that will be used.
ACPI Platform Error Interfaces (APEI)
-------------------------------------
The APEI tables supported are described above.
APEI requires the equivalent of an SCI and an NMI on ARMv8. The SCI is used
to notify the OSPM of errors that have occurred but can be corrected and the
system can continue correct operation, even if possibly degraded. The NMI is
used to indicate fatal errors that cannot be corrected, and require immediate
attention.
Since there is no direct equivalent of the x86 SCI or NMI, arm64 handles
these slightly differently. The SCI is handled as a normal GPIO-signaled
interrupt; given that these are corrected (or correctable) errors being
reported, this is sufficient. The NMI is emulated as the highest priority
GPIO-signaled interrupt possible. This implies some caution must be used
since there could be interrupts at higher privilege levels or even interrupts
at the same priority as the emulated NMI. In Linux, this should not be the
case but one should be aware it could happen.
ACPI Objects Not Supported on ARM64
-----------------------------------
While this may change in the future, there are several classes of objects
that can be defined, but are not currently of general interest to ARM servers.
These are not supported:
-- Section 9.2: ambient light sensor devices
-- Section 9.3: battery devices
-- Section 9.4: lids (e.g., laptop lids)
-- Section 9.8.2: IDE controllers
-- Section 9.9: floppy controllers
-- Section 9.10: GPE block devices
-- Section 9.15: PC/AT RTC/CMOS devices
-- Section 9.16: user presence detection devices
-- Section 9.17: I/O APIC devices; all GICs must be enumerable via MADT
-- Section 9.18: time and alarm devices (see 9.15)
ACPI Objects Not Yet Implemented
--------------------------------
While these objects have x86 equivalents, and they do make some sense in ARM
servers, there is either no hardware available at present, or in some cases
there may not yet be a non-ARM implementation. Hence, they are currently not
implemented though that may change in the future.
Not yet implemented are:
-- Section 10: power source and power meter devices
-- Section 11: thermal management
-- Section 12: embedded controllers interface
-- Section 13: SMBus interfaces
-- Section 17: NUMA support (prototypes have been submitted for
review)

ACPI on ARMv8 Servers
---------------------
ACPI can be used for ARMv8 general purpose servers designed to follow
the ARM SBSA (Server Base System Architecture) [0] and SBBR (Server
Base Boot Requirements) [1] specifications. Please note that the SBBR
can be retrieved simply by visiting [1], but the SBSA is currently only
available to those with an ARM login due to ARM IP licensing concerns.
The ARMv8 kernel implements the reduced hardware model of ACPI version
5.1 or later. Links to the specification and all external documents
it refers to are managed by the UEFI Forum. The specification is
available at http://www.uefi.org/specifications and documents referenced
by the specification can be found via http://www.uefi.org/acpi.
If an ARMv8 system does not meet the requirements of the SBSA and SBBR,
or cannot be described using the mechanisms defined in the required ACPI
specifications, then ACPI may not be a good fit for the hardware.
While the documents mentioned above set out the requirements for building
industry-standard ARMv8 servers, they also apply to more than one operating
system. The purpose of this document is to describe the interaction between
ACPI and Linux only, on an ARMv8 system -- that is, what Linux expects of
ACPI and what ACPI can expect of Linux.
Why ACPI on ARM?
----------------
Before examining the details of the interface between ACPI and Linux, it is
useful to understand why ACPI is being used. Several technologies already
exist in Linux for describing non-enumerable hardware, after all. In this
section we summarize a blog post [2] from Grant Likely that outlines the
reasoning behind ACPI on ARMv8 servers. Actually, we snitch a good portion
of the summary text almost directly, to be honest.
The short form of the rationale for ACPI on ARM is:
-- ACPI’s bytecode (AML) allows the platform to encode hardware behavior,
while DT explicitly does not support this. For hardware vendors, being
able to encode behavior is a key tool used in supporting operating
system releases on new hardware.
-- ACPI’s OSPM defines a power management model that constrains what the
platform is allowed to do into a specific model, while still providing
flexibility in hardware design.
-- In the enterprise server environment, ACPI has established bindings (such
as for RAS) which are currently used in production systems. DT does not.
Such bindings could be defined in DT at some point, but doing so means ARM
and x86 would end up using completely different code paths in both firmware
and the kernel.
-- Choosing a single interface to describe the abstraction between a platform
and an OS is important. Hardware vendors would not be required to implement
both DT and ACPI if they want to support multiple operating systems. And,
agreeing on a single interface instead of being fragmented into per OS
interfaces makes for better interoperability overall.
-- The new ACPI governance process works well and Linux is now at the same
table as hardware vendors and other OS vendors. In fact, there is no
longer any reason to feel that ACPI is only belongs to Windows or that
Linux is in any way secondary to Microsoft in this arena. The move of
ACPI governance into the UEFI forum has significantly opened up the
specification development process, and currently, a large portion of the
changes being made to ACPI is being driven by Linux.
Key to the use of ACPI is the support model. For servers in general, the
responsibility for hardware behaviour cannot solely be the domain of the
kernel, but rather must be split between the platform and the kernel, in
order to allow for orderly change over time. ACPI frees the OS from needing
to understand all the minute details of the hardware so that the OS doesn’t
need to be ported to each and every device individually. It allows the
hardware vendors to take responsibility for power management behaviour without
depending on an OS release cycle which is not under their control.
ACPI is also important because hardware and OS vendors have already worked
out the mechanisms for supporting a general purpose computing ecosystem. The
infrastructure is in place, the bindings are in place, and the processes are
in place. DT does exactly what Linux needs it to when working with vertically
integrated devices, but there are no good processes for supporting what the
server vendors need. Linux could potentially get there with DT, but doing so
really just duplicates something that already works. ACPI already does what
the hardware vendors need, Microsoft won’t collaborate on DT, and hardware
vendors would still end up providing two completely separate firmware
interfaces -- one for Linux and one for Windows.
Kernel Compatibility
--------------------
One of the primary motivations for ACPI is standardization, and using that
to provide backward compatibility for Linux kernels. In the server market,
software and hardware are often used for long periods. ACPI allows the
kernel and firmware to agree on a consistent abstraction that can be
maintained over time, even as hardware or software change. As long as the
abstraction is supported, systems can be updated without necessarily having
to replace the kernel.
When a Linux driver or subsystem is first implemented using ACPI, it by
definition ends up requiring a specific version of the ACPI specification
-- it's baseline. ACPI firmware must continue to work, even though it may
not be optimal, with the earliest kernel version that first provides support
for that baseline version of ACPI. There may be a need for additional drivers,
but adding new functionality (e.g., CPU power management) should not break
older kernel versions. Further, ACPI firmware must also work with the most
recent version of the kernel.
Relationship with Device Tree
-----------------------------
ACPI support in drivers and subsystems for ARMv8 should never be mutually
exclusive with DT support at compile time.
At boot time the kernel will only use one description method depending on
parameters passed from the bootloader (including kernel bootargs).
Regardless of whether DT or ACPI is used, the kernel must always be capable
of booting with either scheme (in kernels with both schemes enabled at compile
time).
Booting using ACPI tables
-------------------------
The only defined method for passing ACPI tables to the kernel on ARMv8
is via the UEFI system configuration table. Just so it is explicit, this
means that ACPI is only supported on platforms that boot via UEFI.
When an ARMv8 system boots, it can either have DT information, ACPI tables,
or in some very unusual cases, both. If no command line parameters are used,
the kernel will try to use DT for device enumeration; if there is no DT
present, the kernel will try to use ACPI tables, but only if they are present.
In neither is available, the kernel will not boot. If acpi=force is used
on the command line, the kernel will attempt to use ACPI tables first, but
fall back to DT if there are no ACPI tables present. The basic idea is that
the kernel will not fail to boot unless it absolutely has no other choice.
Processing of ACPI tables may be disabled by passing acpi=off on the kernel
command line; this is the default behavior.
In order for the kernel to load and use ACPI tables, the UEFI implementation
MUST set the ACPI_20_TABLE_GUID to point to the RSDP table (the table with
the ACPI signature "RSD PTR "). If this pointer is incorrect and acpi=force
is used, the kernel will disable ACPI and try to use DT to boot instead; the
kernel has, in effect, determined that ACPI tables are not present at that
point.
If the pointer to the RSDP table is correct, the table will be mapped into
the kernel by the ACPI core, using the address provided by UEFI.
The ACPI core will then locate and map in all other ACPI tables provided by
using the addresses in the RSDP table to find the XSDT (eXtended System
Description Table). The XSDT in turn provides the addresses to all other
ACPI tables provided by the system firmware; the ACPI core will then traverse
this table and map in the tables listed.
The ACPI core will ignore any provided RSDT (Root System Description Table).
RSDTs have been deprecated and are ignored on arm64 since they only allow
for 32-bit addresses.
Further, the ACPI core will only use the 64-bit address fields in the FADT
(Fixed ACPI Description Table). Any 32-bit address fields in the FADT will
be ignored on arm64.
Hardware reduced mode (see Section 4.1 of the ACPI 5.1 specification) will
be enforced by the ACPI core on arm64. Doing so allows the ACPI core to
run less complex code since it no longer has to provide support for legacy
hardware from other architectures. Any fields that are not to be used for
hardware reduced mode must be set to zero.
For the ACPI core to operate properly, and in turn provide the information
the kernel needs to configure devices, it expects to find the following
tables (all section numbers refer to the ACPI 5.1 specfication):
-- RSDP (Root System Description Pointer), section 5.2.5
-- XSDT (eXtended System Description Table), section 5.2.8
-- FADT (Fixed ACPI Description Table), section 5.2.9
-- DSDT (Differentiated System Description Table), section
5.2.11.1
-- MADT (Multiple APIC Description Table), section 5.2.12
-- GTDT (Generic Timer Description Table), section 5.2.24
-- If PCI is supported, the MCFG (Memory mapped ConFiGuration
Table), section 5.2.6, specifically Table 5-31.
If the above tables are not all present, the kernel may or may not be
able to boot properly since it may not be able to configure all of the
devices available.
ACPI Detection
--------------
Drivers should determine their probe() type by checking for a null
value for ACPI_HANDLE, or checking .of_node, or other information in
the device structure. This is detailed further in the "Driver
Recommendations" section.
In non-driver code, if the presence of ACPI needs to be detected at
runtime, then check the value of acpi_disabled. If CONFIG_ACPI is not
set, acpi_disabled will always be 1.
Device Enumeration
------------------
Device descriptions in ACPI should use standard recognized ACPI interfaces.
These may contain less information than is typically provided via a Device
Tree description for the same device. This is also one of the reasons that
ACPI can be useful -- the driver takes into account that it may have less
detailed information about the device and uses sensible defaults instead.
If done properly in the driver, the hardware can change and improve over
time without the driver having to change at all.
Clocks provide an excellent example. In DT, clocks need to be specified
and the drivers need to take them into account. In ACPI, the assumption
is that UEFI will leave the device in a reasonable default state, including
any clock settings. If for some reason the driver needs to change a clock
value, this can be done in an ACPI method; all the driver needs to do is
invoke the method and not concern itself with what the method needs to do
to change the clock. Changing the hardware can then take place over time
by changing what the ACPI method does, and not the driver.
In DT, the parameters needed by the driver to set up clocks as in the example
above are known as "bindings"; in ACPI, these are known as "Device Properties"
and provided to a driver via the _DSD object.
ACPI tables are described with a formal language called ASL, the ACPI
Source Language (section 19 of the specification). This means that there
are always multiple ways to describe the same thing -- including device
properties. For example, device properties could use an ASL construct
that looks like this: Name(KEY0, "value0"). An ACPI device driver would
then retrieve the value of the property by evaluating the KEY0 object.
However, using Name() this way has multiple problems: (1) ACPI limits
names ("KEY0") to four characters unlike DT; (2) there is no industry
wide registry that maintains a list of names, minimzing re-use; (3)
there is also no registry for the definition of property values ("value0"),
again making re-use difficult; and (4) how does one maintain backward
compatibility as new hardware comes out? The _DSD method was created
to solve precisely these sorts of problems; Linux drivers should ALWAYS
use the _DSD method for device properties and nothing else.
The _DSM object (ACPI Section 9.14.1) could also be used for conveying
device properties to a driver. Linux drivers should only expect it to
be used if _DSD cannot represent the data required, and there is no way
to create a new UUID for the _DSD object. Note that there is even less
regulation of the use of _DSM than there is of _DSD. Drivers that depend
on the contents of _DSM objects will be more difficult to maintain over
time because of this; as of this writing, the use of _DSM is the cause
of quite a few firmware problems and is not recommended.
Drivers should look for device properties in the _DSD object ONLY; the _DSD
object is described in the ACPI specification section 6.2.5, but this only
describes how to define the structure of an object returned via _DSD, and
how specific data structures are defined by specific UUIDs. Linux should
only use the _DSD Device Properties UUID [5]:
-- UUID: daffd814-6eba-4d8c-8a91-bc9bbf4aa301
-- http://www.uefi.org/sites/default/files/resources/_DSD-device-properties-UUID.pdf
The UEFI Forum provides a mechanism for registering device properties [4]
so that they may be used across all operating systems supporting ACPI.
Device properties that have not been registered with the UEFI Forum should
not be used.
Before creating new device properties, check to be sure that they have not
been defined before and either registered in the Linux kernel documentation
as DT bindings, or the UEFI Forum as device properties. While we do not want
to simply move all DT bindings into ACPI device properties, we can learn from
what has been previously defined.
If it is necessary to define a new device property, or if it makes sense to
synthesize the definition of a binding so it can be used in any firmware,
both DT bindings and ACPI device properties for device drivers have review
processes. Use them both. When the driver itself is submitted for review
to the Linux mailing lists, the device property definitions needed must be
submitted at the same time. A driver that supports ACPI and uses device
properties will not be considered complete without their definitions. Once
the device property has been accepted by the Linux community, it must be
registered with the UEFI Forum [4], which will review it again for consistency
within the registry. This may require iteration. The UEFI Forum, though,
will always be the canonical site for device property definitions.
It may make sense to provide notice to the UEFI Forum that there is the
intent to register a previously unused device property name as a means of
reserving the name for later use. Other operating system vendors will
also be submitting registration requests and this may help smooth the
process.
Once registration and review have been completed, the kernel provides an
interface for looking up device properties in a manner independent of
whether DT or ACPI is being used. This API should be used [6]; it can
eliminate some duplication of code paths in driver probing functions and
discourage divergence between DT bindings and ACPI device properties.
Programmable Power Control Resources
------------------------------------
Programmable power control resources include such resources as voltage/current
providers (regulators) and clock sources.
With ACPI, the kernel clock and regulator framework is not expected to be used
at all.
The kernel assumes that power control of these resources is represented with
Power Resource Objects (ACPI section 7.1). The ACPI core will then handle
correctly enabling and disabling resources as they are needed. In order to
get that to work, ACPI assumes each device has defined D-states and that these
can be controlled through the optional ACPI methods _PS0, _PS1, _PS2, and _PS3;
in ACPI, _PS0 is the method to invoke to turn a device full on, and _PS3 is for
turning a device full off.
There are two options for using those Power Resources. They can:
-- be managed in a _PSx method which gets called on entry to power
state Dx.
-- be declared separately as power resources with their own _ON and _OFF
methods. They are then tied back to D-states for a particular device
via _PRx which specifies which power resources a device needs to be on
while in Dx. Kernel then tracks number of devices using a power resource
and calls _ON/_OFF as needed.
The kernel ACPI code will also assume that the _PSx methods follow the normal
ACPI rules for such methods:
-- If either _PS0 or _PS3 is implemented, then the other method must also
be implemented.
-- If a device requires usage or setup of a power resource when on, the ASL
should organize that it is allocated/enabled using the _PS0 method.
-- Resources allocated or enabled in the _PS0 method should be disabled
or de-allocated in the _PS3 method.
-- Firmware will leave the resources in a reasonable state before handing
over control to the kernel.
Such code in _PSx methods will of course be very platform specific. But,
this allows the driver to abstract out the interface for operating the device
and avoid having to read special non-standard values from ACPI tables. Further,
abstracting the use of these resources allows the hardware to change over time
without requiring updates to the driver.
Clocks
------
ACPI makes the assumption that clocks are initialized by the firmware --
UEFI, in this case -- to some working value before control is handed over
to the kernel. This has implications for devices such as UARTs, or SoC-driven
LCD displays, for example.
When the kernel boots, the clocks are assumed to be set to reasonable
working values. If for some reason the frequency needs to change -- e.g.,
throttling for power management -- the device driver should expect that
process to be abstracted out into some ACPI method that can be invoked
(please see the ACPI specification for further recommendations on standard
methods to be expected). The only exceptions to this are CPU clocks where
CPPC provides a much richer interface than ACPI methods. If the clocks
are not set, there is no direct way for Linux to control them.
If an SoC vendor wants to provide fine-grained control of the system clocks,
they could do so by providing ACPI methods that could be invoked by Linux
drivers. However, this is NOT recommended and Linux drivers should NOT use
such methods, even if they are provided. Such methods are not currently
standardized in the ACPI specification, and using them could tie a kernel
to a very specific SoC, or tie an SoC to a very specific version of the
kernel, both of which we are trying to avoid.
Driver Recommendations
----------------------
DO NOT remove any DT handling when adding ACPI support for a driver. The
same device may be used on many different systems.
DO try to structure the driver so that it is data-driven. That is, set up
a struct containing internal per-device state based on defaults and whatever
else must be discovered by the driver probe function. Then, have the rest
of the driver operate off of the contents of that struct. Doing so should
allow most divergence between ACPI and DT functionality to be kept local to
the probe function instead of being scattered throughout the driver. For
example:
static int device_probe_dt(struct platform_device *pdev)
{
/* DT specific functionality */
...
}
static int device_probe_acpi(struct platform_device *pdev)
{
/* ACPI specific functionality */
...
}
static int device_probe(struct platform_device *pdev)
{
...
struct device_node node = pdev->dev.of_node;
...
if (node)
ret = device_probe_dt(pdev);
else if (ACPI_HANDLE(&pdev->dev))
ret = device_probe_acpi(pdev);
else
/* other initialization */
...
/* Continue with any generic probe operations */
...
}
DO keep the MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE entries together in the driver to make it
clear the different names the driver is probed for, both from DT and from
ACPI:
static struct of_device_id virtio_mmio_match[] = {
{ .compatible = "virtio,mmio", },
{ }
};
MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE(of, virtio_mmio_match);
static const struct acpi_device_id virtio_mmio_acpi_match[] = {
{ "LNRO0005", },
{ }
};
MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE(acpi, virtio_mmio_acpi_match);
ASWG
----
The ACPI specification changes regularly. During the year 2014, for instance,
version 5.1 was released and version 6.0 substantially completed, with most of
the changes being driven by ARM-specific requirements. Proposed changes are
presented and discussed in the ASWG (ACPI Specification Working Group) which
is a part of the UEFI Forum.
Participation in this group is open to all UEFI members. Please see
http://www.uefi.org/workinggroup for details on group membership.
It is the intent of the ARMv8 ACPI kernel code to follow the ACPI specification
as closely as possible, and to only implement functionality that complies with
the released standards from UEFI ASWG. As a practical matter, there will be
vendors that provide bad ACPI tables or violate the standards in some way.
If this is because of errors, quirks and fixups may be necessary, but will
be avoided if possible. If there are features missing from ACPI that preclude
it from being used on a platform, ECRs (Engineering Change Requests) should be
submitted to ASWG and go through the normal approval process; for those that
are not UEFI members, many other members of the Linux community are and would
likely be willing to assist in submitting ECRs.
Linux Code
----------
Individual items specific to Linux on ARM, contained in the the Linux
source code, are in the list that follows:
ACPI_OS_NAME This macro defines the string to be returned when
an ACPI method invokes the _OS method. On ARM64
systems, this macro will be "Linux" by default.
The command line parameter acpi_os=<string>
can be used to set it to some other value. The
default value for other architectures is "Microsoft
Windows NT", for example.
ACPI Objects
------------
Detailed expectations for ACPI tables and object are listed in the file

1.2.1 I/O Barriers
There is a way to enforce strict ordering for i/os through barriers.
All requests before a barrier point must be serviced before the barrier
request and any other requests arriving after the barrier will not be

level control on write ordering, e.g flushing a log of committed updates
to disk before the corresponding updates themselves.

Introduction
============
The concepts of the kernel crypto API visible to kernel space is fully
applicable to the user space interface as well. Therefore, the kernel crypto API
high level discussion for the in-kernel use cases applies here as well.
The major difference, however, is that user space can only act as a consumer
and never as a provider of a transformation or cipher algorithm.
The following covers the user space interface exported by the kernel crypto
API. A working example of this description is libkcapi that can be obtained from
[1]. That library can be used by user space applications that require
cryptographic services from the kernel.
Some details of the in-kernel kernel crypto API aspects do not
apply to user space, however. This includes the difference between synchronous
and asynchronous invocations. The user space API call is fully synchronous.
In addition, only a subset of all cipher types are available as documented
below.
User space API general remarks
==============================
The kernel crypto API is accessible from user space. Currently, the following
ciphers are accessible:
* Message digest including keyed message digest (HMAC, CMAC)
* Symmetric ciphers
Note, AEAD ciphers are currently not supported via the symmetric cipher
interface.
The interface is provided via Netlink using the type AF_ALG. In addition, the
setsockopt option type is SOL_ALG. In case the user space header files do not
export these flags yet, use the following macros:
#ifndef AF_ALG
#define AF_ALG 38
#endif
#ifndef SOL_ALG
#define SOL_ALG 279
#endif
A cipher is accessed with the same name as done for the in-kernel API calls.
This includes the generic vs. unique naming schema for ciphers as well as the
enforcement of priorities for generic names.
To interact with the kernel crypto API, a Netlink socket must be created by
the user space application. User space invokes the cipher operation with the
send/write system call family. The result of the cipher operation is obtained
with the read/recv system call family.
The following API calls assume that the Netlink socket descriptor is already
opened by the user space application and discusses only the kernel crypto API
specific invocations.
To initialize a Netlink interface, the following sequence has to be performed
by the consumer:
1. Create a socket of type AF_ALG with the struct sockaddr_alg parameter
specified below for the different cipher types.
2. Invoke bind with the socket descriptor
3. Invoke accept with the socket descriptor. The accept system call
returns a new file descriptor that is to be used to interact with
the particular cipher instance. When invoking send/write or recv/read
system calls to send data to the kernel or obtain data from the
kernel, the file descriptor returned by accept must be used.
In-place cipher operation
=========================
Just like the in-kernel operation of the kernel crypto API, the user space
interface allows the cipher operation in-place. That means that the input buffer
used for the send/write system call and the output buffer used by the read/recv
system call may be one and the same. This is of particular interest for
symmetric cipher operations where a copying of the output data to its final
destination can be avoided.
If a consumer on the other hand wants to maintain the plaintext and the
ciphertext in different memory locations, all a consumer needs to do is to
provide different memory pointers for the encryption and decryption operation.
Message digest API
==================
The message digest type to be used for the cipher operation is selected when
invoking the bind syscall. bind requires the caller to provide a filled
struct sockaddr data structure. This data structure must be filled as follows:
struct sockaddr_alg sa = {
.salg_family = AF_ALG,
.salg_type = "hash", /* this selects the hash logic in the kernel */
.salg_name = "sha1" /* this is the cipher name */
};
The salg_type value "hash" applies to message digests and keyed message digests.
Though, a keyed message digest is referenced by the appropriate salg_name.
Please see below for the setsockopt interface that explains how the key can be
set for a keyed message digest.
Using the send() system call, the application provides the data that should be
processed with the message digest. The send system call allows the following
flags to be specified:
* MSG_MORE: If this flag is set, the send system call acts like a
message digest update function where the final hash is not
yet calculated. If the flag is not set, the send system call
calculates the final message digest immediately.
With the recv() system call, the application can read the message digest from
the kernel crypto API. If the buffer is too small for the message digest, the
flag MSG_TRUNC is set by the kernel.
In order to set a message digest key, the calling application must use the
setsockopt() option of ALG_SET_KEY. If the key is not set the HMAC operation is
performed without the initial HMAC state change caused by the key.
Symmetric cipher API
====================
The operation is very similar to the message digest discussion. During
initialization, the struct sockaddr data structure must be filled as follows:
struct sockaddr_alg sa = {
.salg_family = AF_ALG,
.salg_type = "skcipher", /* this selects the symmetric cipher */
.salg_name = "cbc(aes)" /* this is the cipher name */
};
Before data can be sent to the kernel using the write/send system call family,
the consumer must set the key. The key setting is described with the setsockopt
invocation below.
Using the sendmsg() system call, the application provides the data that should
be processed for encryption or decryption. In addition, the IV is specified
with the data structure provided by the sendmsg() system call.
The sendmsg system call parameter of struct msghdr is embedded into the
struct cmsghdr data structure. See recv(2) and cmsg(3) for more information
on how the cmsghdr data structure is used together with the send/recv system
call family. That cmsghdr data structure holds the following information
specified with a separate header instances:
* specification of the cipher operation type with one of these flags:
ALG_OP_ENCRYPT - encryption of data
ALG_OP_DECRYPT - decryption of data
* specification of the IV information marked with the flag ALG_SET_IV
The send system call family allows the following flag to be specified:
* MSG_MORE: If this flag is set, the send system call acts like a
cipher update function where more input data is expected
with a subsequent invocation of the send system call.
Note: The kernel reports -EINVAL for any unexpected data. The caller must
make sure that all data matches the constraints given in /proc/crypto for the
selected cipher.
With the recv() system call, the application can read the result of the
cipher operation from the kernel crypto API. The output buffer must be at least
as large as to hold all blocks of the encrypted or decrypted data. If the output
data size is smaller, only as many blocks are returned that fit into that
output buffer size.
Setsockopt interface
====================
In addition to the read/recv and send/write system call handling to send and
retrieve data subject to the cipher operation, a consumer also needs to set
the additional information for the cipher operation. This additional information
is set using the setsockopt system call that must be invoked with the file
descriptor of the open cipher (i.e. the file descriptor returned by the
accept system call).
Each setsockopt invocation must use the level SOL_ALG.
The setsockopt interface allows setting the following data using the mentioned
optname:
* ALG_SET_KEY -- Setting the key. Key setting is applicable to:
- the skcipher cipher type (symmetric ciphers)
- the hash cipher type (keyed message digests)
User space API example
======================
Please see [1] for libkcapi which provides an easy-to-use wrapper around the
aforementioned Netlink kernel interface. [1] also contains a test application
that invokes all libkcapi API calls.

dm-log-writes
=============
This target takes 2 devices, one to pass all IO to normally, and one to log all
of the write operations to. This is intended for file system developers wishing
to verify the integrity of metadata or data as the file system is written to.
There is a log_write_entry written for every WRITE request and the target is
able to take arbitrary data from userspace to insert into the log. The data
that is in the WRITE requests is copied into the log to make the replay happen
exactly as it happened originally.
Log Ordering
============
We log things in order of completion once we are sure the write is no longer in
cache. This means that normal WRITE requests are not actually logged until the
next REQ_FLUSH request. This is to make it easier for userspace to replay the
log in a way that correlates to what is on disk and not what is in cache, to
make it easier to detect improper waiting/flushing.
This works by attaching all WRITE requests to a list once the write completes.
Once we see a REQ_FLUSH request we splice this list onto the request and once
the FLUSH request completes we log all of the WRITEs and then the FLUSH. Only
completed WRITEs, at the time the REQ_FLUSH is issued, are added in order to
simulate the worst case scenario with regard to power failures. Consider the
following example (W means write, C means complete):
W1,W2,W3,C3,C2,Wflush,C1,Cflush
The log would show the following
W3,W2,flush,W1....
Again this is to simulate what is actually on disk, this allows us to detect
cases where a power failure at a particular point in time would create an
inconsistent file system.
Any REQ_FUA requests bypass this flushing mechanism and are logged as soon as
they complete as those requests will obviously bypass the device cache.
Any REQ_DISCARD requests are treated like WRITE requests. Otherwise we would
have all the DISCARD requests, and then the WRITE requests and then the FLUSH
request. Consider the following example:
WRITE block 1, DISCARD block 1, FLUSH
If we logged DISCARD when it completed, the replay would look like this
DISCARD 1, WRITE 1, FLUSH
which isn't quite what happened and wouldn't be caught during the log replay.
Target interface

iii) Messages
mark <description>
You can use a dmsetup message to set an arbitrary mark in a log.
For example say you want to fsck a file system after every
write, but first you need to replay up to the mkfs to make sure
we're fsck'ing something reasonable, you would do something like
this:
mkfs.btrfs -f /dev/mapper/log
dmsetup message log 0 mark mkfs
<run test>
This would allow you to replay the log up to the mkfs mark and
then replay from that point on doing the fsck check in the
interval that you want.
Every log has a mark at the end labeled "dm-log-writes-end".
Userspace component
===================
There is a userspace tool that will replay the log for you in various ways.
It can be found here: https://github.com/josefbacik/log-writes
Example usage
=============
Say you want to test fsync on your file system. You would do something like
this:
TABLE="0 $(blockdev --getsz /dev/sdb) log-writes /dev/sdb /dev/sdc"
dmsetup create log --table "$TABLE"
mkfs.btrfs -f /dev/mapper/log
dmsetup message log 0 mark mkfs
mount /dev/mapper/log /mnt/btrfs-test
<some test that does fsync at the end>
dmsetup message log 0 mark fsync
md5sum /mnt/btrfs-test/foo
umount /mnt/btrfs-test
dmsetup remove log
replay-log --log /dev/sdc --replay /dev/sdb --end-mark fsync
mount /dev/sdb /mnt/btrfs-test
md5sum /mnt/btrfs-test/foo
<verify md5sum's are correct>
Another option is to do a complicated file system operation and verify the file
system is consistent during the entire operation. You could do this with:
TABLE="0 $(blockdev --getsz /dev/sdb) log-writes /dev/sdb /dev/sdc"
dmsetup create log --table "$TABLE"
mkfs.btrfs -f /dev/mapper/log
dmsetup message log 0 mark mkfs
mount /dev/mapper/log /mnt/btrfs-test
<fsstress to dirty the fs>
btrfs filesystem balance /mnt/btrfs-test
umount /mnt/btrfs-test
dmsetup remove log
replay-log --log /dev/sdc --replay /dev/sdb --end-mark mkfs
btrfsck /dev/sdb
replay-log --log /dev/sdc --replay /dev/sdb --start-mark mkfs \
--fsck "btrfsck /dev/sdb" --check fua
And that will replay the log until it sees a FUA request, run the fsck command
and if the fsck passes it will replay to the next FUA, until it is completed or
the fsck command exists abnormally.

QCOM Idle States for cpuidle driver
ARM provides idle-state node to define the cpuidle states, as defined in [1].
cpuidle-qcom is the cpuidle driver for Qualcomm SoCs and uses these idle
states. Idle states have different enter/exit latency and residency values.
The idle states supported by the QCOM SoC are defined as -
* Standby
* Retention
* Standalone Power Collapse (Standalone PC or SPC)
* Power Collapse (PC)
Standby: Standby does a little more in addition to architectural clock gating.
When the WFI instruction is executed the ARM core would gate its internal
clocks. In addition to gating the clocks, QCOM cpus use this instruction as a
trigger to execute the SPM state machine. The SPM state machine waits for the
interrupt to trigger the core back in to active. This triggers the cache
hierarchy to enter standby states, when all cpus are idle. An interrupt brings
the SPM state machine out of its wait, the next step is to ensure that the
cache hierarchy is also out of standby, and then the cpu is allowed to resume
execution. This state is defined as a generic ARM WFI state by the ARM cpuidle
driver and is not defined in the DT. The SPM state machine should be
configured to execute this state by default and after executing every other
state below.
Retention: Retention is a low power state where the core is clock gated and
the memory and the registers associated with the core are retained. The
voltage may be reduced to the minimum value needed to keep the processor
registers active. The SPM should be configured to execute the retention
sequence and would wait for interrupt, before restoring the cpu to execution
state. Retention may have a slightly higher latency than Standby.
Standalone PC: A cpu can power down and warmboot if there is a sufficient time
between the time it enters idle and the next known wake up. SPC mode is used
to indicate a core entering a power down state without consulting any other
cpu or the system resources. This helps save power only on that core. The SPM
sequence for this idle state is programmed to power down the supply to the
core, wait for the interrupt, restore power to the core, and ensure the
system state including cache hierarchy is ready before allowing core to
resume. Applying power and resetting the core causes the core to warmboot
back into Elevation Level (EL) which trampolines the control back to the
kernel. Entering a power down state for the cpu, needs to be done by trapping
into a EL. Failing to do so, would result in a crash enforced by the warm boot
code in the EL for the SoC. On SoCs with write-back L1 cache, the cache has to
be flushed in s/w, before powering down the core.
Power Collapse: This state is similar to the SPC mode, but distinguishes
itself in that the cpu acknowledges and permits the SoC to enter deeper sleep
modes. In a hierarchical power domain SoC, this means L2 and other caches can
be flushed, system bus, clocks - lowered, and SoC main XO clock gated and
voltages reduced, provided all cpus enter this state. Since the span of low
power modes possible at this state is vast, the exit latency and the residency
of this low power mode would be considered high even though at a cpu level,
this essentially is cpu power down. The SPM in this state also may handshake
with the Resource power manager (RPM) processor in the SoC to indicate a
complete application processor subsystem shut down.
The idle-state for QCOM SoCs are distinguished by the compatible property of
the idle-states device node.
The devicetree representation of the idle state should be -

- compatible: Must be one of -
"qcom,idle-state-ret",
