Description:
Various files for managing Cable Based Association of
(wireless) USB devices.
The sequence of operations should be:
1. Device is plugged in.
2. The connection manager (CM) sees a device with CBA capability.
(the wusb_chid etc. files in /sys/devices/blah/OURDEVICE).
3. The CM writes the host name, supported band groups,
and the CHID (host ID) into the wusb_host_name,
wusb_host_band_groups and wusb_chid files. These
get sent to the device and the CDID (if any) for
this host is requested.
4. The CM can verify that the device's supported band
groups (wusb_device_band_groups) are compatible
with the host.
5. The CM reads the wusb_cdid file.
6. The CM looks it up its database.
- If it has a matching CHID,CDID entry, the device
has been authorized before and nothing further
needs to be done.
- If the CDID is zero (or the CM doesn't find a
matching CDID in its database), the device is
assumed to be not known. The CM may associate
the host with device by: writing a randomly
generated CDID to wusb_cdid and then a random CK
to wusb_ck (this uploads the new CC to the
device).
CMD may choose to prompt the user before
associating with a new device.
7. Device is unplugged.

ACPI Debug Output
The ACPI CA, the Linux ACPI core, and some ACPI drivers can generate debug
output. This document describes how to use this facility.
Compile-time configuration
--------------------------
ACPI debug output is globally enabled by CONFIG_ACPI_DEBUG. If this config
option is turned off, the debug messages are not even built into the
kernel.
Boot- and run-time configuration
--------------------------------
When CONFIG_ACPI_DEBUG=y, you can select the component and level of messages
you're interested in. At boot-time, use the acpi.debug_layer and
acpi.debug_level kernel command line options. After boot, you can use the
debug_layer and debug_level files in /sys/module/acpi/parameters/ to control
the debug messages.
debug_layer (component)
-----------------------
The "debug_layer" is a mask that selects components of interest, e.g., a
specific driver or part of the ACPI interpreter. To build the debug_layer
bitmask, look for the "#define _COMPONENT" in an ACPI source file.
You can set the debug_layer mask at boot-time using the acpi.debug_layer
command line argument, and you can change it after boot by writing values
to /sys/module/acpi/parameters/debug_layer.
The possible components are defined in include/acpi/acoutput.h and
include/acpi/acpi_drivers.h. Reading /sys/module/acpi/parameters/debug_layer
shows the supported mask values, currently these:
ACPI_UTILITIES 0x00000001
ACPI_HARDWARE 0x00000002
ACPI_EVENTS 0x00000004
ACPI_TABLES 0x00000008

ACPI_VIDEO_COMPONENT 0x10000000
ACPI_PROCESSOR_COMPONENT 0x20000000
debug_level
-----------
The "debug_level" is a mask that selects different types of messages, e.g.,
those related to initialization, method execution, informational messages, etc.
To build debug_level, look at the level specified in an ACPI_DEBUG_PRINT()
statement.
The ACPI interpreter uses several different levels, but the Linux
ACPI core and ACPI drivers generally only use ACPI_LV_INFO.
You can set the debug_level mask at boot-time using the acpi.debug_level
command line argument, and you can change it after boot by writing values
to /sys/module/acpi/parameters/debug_level.
The possible levels are defined in include/acpi/acoutput.h. Reading
/sys/module/acpi/parameters/debug_level shows the supported mask values,
currently these:
ACPI_LV_INIT 0x00000001
ACPI_LV_DEBUG_OBJECT 0x00000002
ACPI_LV_INFO 0x00000004
ACPI_LV_INIT_NAMES 0x00000020
ACPI_LV_PARSE 0x00000040
ACPI_LV_LOAD 0x00000080

ACPI_LV_EXEC 0x00000200
ACPI_LV_NAMES 0x00000400
ACPI_LV_OPREGION 0x00000800
ACPI_LV_BFIELD 0x00001000

ACPI_LV_VERBOSE_INFO 0x20000000
ACPI_LV_FULL_TABLES 0x40000000
ACPI_LV_EVENTS 0x80000000
Examples
--------
For example, drivers/acpi/bus.c contains this:
#define _COMPONENT ACPI_BUS_COMPONENT
...
ACPI_DEBUG_PRINT((ACPI_DB_INFO, "Device insertion detected\n"));
To turn on this message, set the ACPI_BUS_COMPONENT bit in acpi.debug_layer
and the ACPI_LV_INFO bit in acpi.debug_level. (The ACPI_DEBUG_PRINT
statement uses ACPI_DB_INFO, which is macro based on the ACPI_LV_INFO
definition.)
Enable all AML "Debug" output (stores to the Debug object while interpreting
AML) during boot:
acpi.debug_layer=0xffffffff acpi.debug_level=0x2
Enable PCI and PCI interrupt routing debug messages:
acpi.debug_layer=0x400000 acpi.debug_level=0x4
Enable all ACPI hardware-related messages:
acpi.debug_layer=0x2 acpi.debug_level=0xffffffff
Enable all ACPI_DB_INFO messages after boot:
# echo 0x4 > /sys/module/acpi/parameters/debug_level
Show all valid component values:
# cat /sys/module/acpi/parameters/debug_layer

The Kenwood KCA-R6A remote control generates a sequence like the following:
Go low for approx 16T (Around 9000us)
Go high for approx 8T (Around 4000us)
Go low for less than 2T (Around 750us)
For each of the 32 bits
Go high for more than 2T (Around 1500us) == 1
Go high for less than T (Around 400us) == 0
Go low for less than 2T (Around 750us)
Rather than repeat a signal when the button is held down certain buttons
generate the following code to indicate repetition.
Go low for approx 16T
Go high for approx 4T
Go low for less than 2T
(By removing the <2T from the start of the sequence and placing at the end
it can be considered a stop bit but I found it easier to deal with it at
the start).
The 32 bits are encoded as XxYy where x and y are the actual data values
while X and Y are the logical inverses of the associated data values. Using
LSB first yields sensible codes for the numbers.
All codes are of the form b9xx
The numeric keys generate the code 0x where x is the number pressed.

GNU General Public License for more details.
Overview
--------
This driver implements the support for Linux of Silicon Labs (Silabs)
C2 Interface used for in-system programming of micro controllers.
By using this driver you can reprogram the in-system flash without EC2
or EC3 debug adapter. This solution is also useful in those systems
where the micro controller is connected via special GPIOs pins.
References
----------
The C2 Interface main references are at (http://www.silabs.com)
Silicon Laboratories site], see:
- AN127: FLASH Programming via the C2 Interface at
http://www.silabs.com/public/documents/tpub_doc/anote/Microcontrollers/Small_Form_Factor/en/an127.pdf, and
- C2 Specification at
http://www.silabs.com/public/documents/tpub_doc/spec/Microcontrollers/en/C2spec.pdf,
however it implements a two wire serial communication protocol (bit
banging) designed to enable in-system programming, debugging, and
boundary-scan testing on low pin-count Silicon Labs devices. Currently
this code supports only flash programming but extensions are easy to
add.
Using the driver
----------------
Once the driver is loaded you can use sysfs support to get C2port's
info or read/write in-system flash.
# ls /sys/class/c2port/c2port0/
access flash_block_size flash_erase rev_id
dev_id flash_blocks_num flash_size subsystem/
flash_access flash_data reset uevent
Initially the C2port access is disabled since you hardware may have
such lines multiplexed with other devices so, to get access to the
C2port, you need the command:
# echo 1 > /sys/class/c2port/c2port0/access
after that you should read the device ID and revision ID of the
connected micro controller:
# cat /sys/class/c2port/c2port0/dev_id
8
# cat /sys/class/c2port/c2port0/rev_id
1
However, for security reasons, the in-system flash access in not
enabled yet, to do so you need the command:
# echo 1 > /sys/class/c2port/c2port0/flash_access
After that you can read the whole flash:
# cat /sys/class/c2port/c2port0/flash_data > image
erase it:
# echo 1 > /sys/class/c2port/c2port0/flash_erase
and write it:
# cat image > /sys/class/c2port/c2port0/flash_data
after writing you have to reset the device to execute the new code:
# echo 1 > /sys/class/c2port/c2port0/reset

Gmail (Web GUI)
If you just have to use Gmail to send patches, it CAN be made to work. It
requires a bit of external help, though.
The first problem is that Gmail converts tabs to spaces. This will
totally break your patches. To prevent this, you have to use a different
editor. There is a firefox extension called "ViewSourceWith"
(https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/394) which allows you to
edit any text box in the editor of your choice. Configure it to launch
your favorite editor. When you want to send a patch, use this technique.
Once you have crafted your messsage + patch, save and exit the editor,
which should reload the Gmail edit box. GMAIL WILL PRESERVE THE TABS.
Hoorah. Apparently you can cut-n-paste literal tabs, but Gmail will
convert those to spaces upon sending!
The second problem is that Gmail converts tabs to spaces on replies. If
you reply to a patch, don't expect to be able to apply it as a patch.
The last problem is that Gmail will base64-encode any message that has a
non-ASCII character. That includes things like European names. Be aware.
Gmail is not convenient for lkml patches, but CAN be made to work.

Every epoll file descriptor can store a number of files to be monitored

This configuration option sets the maximum number of "watches" that are

Each "watch" costs roughly 90 bytes on a 32bit kernel, and roughly 160 bytes
on a 64bit one.
The current default value for max_user_watches is the 1/32 of the available

When dynamic ftrace is initialized, it calls kstop_machine to make
the machine act like a uniprocessor so that it can freely modify code
without worrying about other processors executing that same code. At
initialization, the mcount calls are changed to call a "record_ip"
function. After this, the first time a kernel function is called,
it has the calling address saved in a hash table.
At compile time every C file object is run through the
recordmcount.pl script (located in the scripts directory). This
script will process the C object using objdump to find all the
locations in the .text section that call mcount. (Note, only
the .text section is processed, since processing other sections
like .init.text may cause races due to those sections being freed).
Later on the ftraced kernel thread is awoken and will again call
kstop_machine if new functions have been recorded. The ftraced thread
will change all calls to mcount to "nop". Just calling mcount
and having mcount return has shown a 10% overhead. By converting
it to a nop, there is no measurable overhead to the system.
A new section called "__mcount_loc" is created that holds references
to all the mcount call sites in the .text section. This section is
compiled back into the original object. The final linker will add
all these references into a single table.
On boot up, before SMP is initialized, the dynamic ftrace code
scans this table and updates all the locations into nops. It also
records the locations, which are added to the available_filter_functions
list. Modules are processed as they are loaded and before they are
executed. When a module is unloaded, it also removes its functions from
the ftrace function list. This is automatic in the module unload
code, and the module author does not need to worry about it.
When tracing is enabled, kstop_machine is called to prevent races
with the CPUS executing code being modified (which can cause the
CPU to do undesireable things), and the nops are patched back
to calls. But this time, they do not call mcount (which is just
a function stub). They now call into the ftrace infrastructure.

to calling mcount. Without this kernel thread, that overhead will
exist.

Kernel driver adt7462
======================
Supported chips:
* Analog Devices ADT7462
Prefix: 'adt7462'
Addresses scanned: I2C 0x58, 0x5C
Datasheet: Publicly available at the Analog Devices website
Author: Darrick J. Wong
Description
-----------
This driver implements support for the Analog Devices ADT7462 chip family.
This chip is a bit of a beast. It has 8 counters for measuring fan speed. It
can also measure 13 voltages or 4 temperatures, or various combinations of the
two. See the chip documentation for more details about the exact set of
configurations. This driver does not allow one to configure the chip; that is
left to the system designer.
A sophisticated control system for the PWM outputs is designed into the ADT7462
that allows fan speed to be adjusted automatically based on any of the three
temperature sensors. Each PWM output is individually adjustable and
programmable. Once configured, the ADT7462 will adjust the PWM outputs in
response to the measured temperatures without further host intervention. This
feature can also be disabled for manual control of the PWM's.
Each of the measured inputs (voltage, temperature, fan speed) has
corresponding high/low limit values. The ADT7462 will signal an ALARM if
any measured value exceeds either limit.
The ADT7462 samples all inputs continuously. The driver will not read
the registers more often than once every other second. Further,
configuration data is only read once per minute.
Special Features
----------------
The ADT7462 have a 10-bit ADC and can therefore measure temperatures
with 0.25 degC resolution.
The Analog Devices datasheet is very detailed and describes a procedure for
determining an optimal configuration for the automatic PWM control.
The driver will report sensor labels when it is able to determine that
information from the configuration registers.
Configuration Notes
-------------------
Besides standard interfaces driver adds the following:
* PWM Control
* pwm#_auto_point1_pwm and temp#_auto_point1_temp and
* pwm#_auto_point2_pwm and temp#_auto_point2_temp -
point1: Set the pwm speed at a lower temperature bound.
point2: Set the pwm speed at a higher temperature bound.
The ADT7462 will scale the pwm between the lower and higher pwm speed when
the temperature is between the two temperature boundaries. PWM values range
from 0 (off) to 255 (full speed). Fan speed will be set to maximum when the
temperature sensor associated with the PWM control exceeds temp#_max.

Description
-----------
This driver provides support for the accelerometer found in various HP laptops
sporting the feature officially called "HP Mobile Data Protection System 3D" or
"HP 3D DriveGuard". It detect automatically laptops with this sensor. Known models
(for now the HP 2133, nc6420, nc2510, nc8510, nc84x0, nw9440 and nx9420) will
have their axis automatically oriented on standard way (eg: you can directly
play neverball). The accelerometer data is readable via
/sys/devices/platform/lis3lv02d.
Sysfs attributes under /sys/devices/platform/lis3lv02d/:
position - 3D position that the accelerometer reports. Format: "(x,y,z)"
calibrate - read: values (x, y, z) that are used as the base for input class device operation.
write: forces the base to be recalibrated with the current position.
rate - reports the sampling rate of the accelerometer device in HZ
This driver also provides an absolute input class device, allowing
the laptop to act as a pinball machine-esque joystick.

the accelerometer are converted into a "standard" organisation of the axes
(aka "can play neverball out of the box"):
* When the laptop is horizontal the position reported is about 0 for X and Y
and a positive value for Z
* If the left side is elevated, X increases (becomes positive)
* If the front side (where the touchpad is) is elevated, Y decreases (becomes negative)
* If the laptop is put upside-down, Z becomes negative
If your laptop model is not recognized (cf "dmesg"), you can send an email to the
authors to add it to the database. When reporting a new laptop, please include
the output of "dmidecode" plus the value of /sys/devices/platform/lis3lv02d/position
in these four cases.

Revision 7, 2007-04-19
Jean Delvare <khali@linux-fr.org>
Greg KH <greg@kroah.com>
This is a guide on how to convert I2C chip drivers from Linux 2.4 to
Linux 2.6. I have been using existing drivers (lm75, lm78) as examples.
Then I converted a driver myself (lm83) and updated this document.
Note that this guide is strongly oriented towards hardware monitoring
drivers. Many points are still valid for other type of drivers, but
others may be irrelevant.
There are two sets of points below. The first set concerns technical
changes. The second set concerns coding policy. Both are mandatory.
Although reading this guide will help you porting drivers, I suggest
you keep an eye on an already ported driver while porting your own
driver. This will help you a lot understanding what this guide
exactly means. Choose the chip driver that is the more similar to
yours for best results.
Technical changes:
* [Driver type] Any driver that was relying on i2c-isa has to be
converted to a proper isa, platform or pci driver. This is not
covered by this guide.
* [Includes] Get rid of "version.h" and <linux/i2c-proc.h>.
Includes typically look like that:
#include <linux/module.h>
#include <linux/init.h>
#include <linux/slab.h>
#include <linux/jiffies.h>
#include <linux/i2c.h>
#include <linux/hwmon.h> /* for hardware monitoring drivers */
#include <linux/hwmon-sysfs.h>
#include <linux/hwmon-vid.h> /* if you need VRM support */
#include <linux/err.h> /* for class registration */
Please respect this inclusion order. Some extra headers may be
required for a given driver (e.g. "lm75.h").
* [Addresses] SENSORS_I2C_END becomes I2C_CLIENT_END, ISA addresses
are no more handled by the i2c core. Address ranges are no more
supported either, define each individual address separately.
SENSORS_INSMOD_<n> becomes I2C_CLIENT_INSMOD_<n>.
* [Client data] Get rid of sysctl_id. Try using standard names for
register values (for example, temp_os becomes temp_max). You're
still relatively free here, but you *have* to follow the standard
names for sysfs files (see the Sysctl section below).
* [Function prototypes] The detect functions loses its flags
parameter. Sysctl (e.g. lm75_temp) and miscellaneous functions
are off the list of prototypes. This usually leaves five
prototypes:
static int lm75_attach_adapter(struct i2c_adapter *adapter);
static int lm75_detect(struct i2c_adapter *adapter, int address,
int kind);
static void lm75_init_client(struct i2c_client *client);
static int lm75_detach_client(struct i2c_client *client);
static struct lm75_data lm75_update_device(struct device *dev);
* [Sysctl] All sysctl stuff is of course gone (defines, ctl_table
and functions). Instead, you have to define show and set functions for
each sysfs file. Only define set for writable values. Take a look at an
existing 2.6 driver for details (it87 for example). Don't forget
to define the attributes for each file (this is that step that
links callback functions). Use the file names specified in
Documentation/hwmon/sysfs-interface for the individual files. Also
convert the units these files read and write to the specified ones.
If you need to add a new type of file, please discuss it on the
sensors mailing list <lm-sensors@lm-sensors.org> by providing a
patch to the Documentation/hwmon/sysfs-interface file.
* [Attach] The attach function should make sure that the adapter's
class has I2C_CLASS_HWMON (or whatever class is suitable for your
driver), using the following construct:
if (!(adapter->class & I2C_CLASS_HWMON))
return 0;
Call i2c_probe() instead of i2c_detect().
* [Detect] As mentioned earlier, the flags parameter is gone.
The type_name and client_name strings are replaced by a single
name string, which will be filled with a lowercase, short string.
The labels used for error paths are reduced to the number needed.
It is advised that the labels are given descriptive names such as
exit and exit_free. Don't forget to properly set err before
jumping to error labels. By the way, labels should be left-aligned.
Use kzalloc instead of kmalloc.
Use i2c_set_clientdata to set the client data (as opposed to
a direct access to client->data).
Use strlcpy instead of strcpy or snprintf to copy the client name.
Replace the sysctl directory registration by calls to
device_create_file. Move the driver initialization before any
sysfs file creation.
Register the client with the hwmon class (using hwmon_device_register)
if applicable.
Drop client->id.
Drop any 24RF08 corruption prevention you find, as this is now done
at the i2c-core level, and doing it twice voids it.
Don't add I2C_CLIENT_ALLOW_USE to client->flags, it's the default now.
* [Init] Limits must not be set by the driver (can be done later in
user-space). Chip should not be reset default (although a module
parameter may be used to force it), and initialization should be
limited to the strictly necessary steps.
* [Detach] Remove the call to i2c_deregister_entry. Do not log an
error message if i2c_detach_client fails, as i2c-core will now do
it for you.
Unregister from the hwmon class if applicable.
* [Update] The function prototype changed, it is now
passed a device structure, which you have to convert to a client
using to_i2c_client(dev). The update function should return a
pointer to the client data.
Don't access client->data directly, use i2c_get_clientdata(client)
instead.
Use time_after() instead of direct jiffies comparison.
* [Interface] Make sure there is a MODULE_LICENSE() line, at the bottom
of the file (after MODULE_AUTHOR() and MODULE_DESCRIPTION(), in this
order).
* [Driver] The flags field of the i2c_driver structure is gone.
I2C_DF_NOTIFY is now the default behavior.
The i2c_driver structure has a driver member, which is itself a
structure, those name member should be initialized to a driver name
string. i2c_driver itself has no name member anymore.
* [Driver model] Instead of shutdown or reboot notifiers, provide a
shutdown() method in your driver.
* [Power management] Use the driver model suspend() and resume()
callbacks instead of the obsolete pm_register() calls.
Coding policy:
* [Copyright] Use (C), not (c), for copyright.
* [Debug/log] Get rid of #ifdef DEBUG/#endif constructs whenever you
can. Calls to printk for debugging purposes are replaced by calls to
dev_dbg where possible, else to pr_debug. Here is an example of how
to call it (taken from lm75_detect):
dev_dbg(&client->dev, "Starting lm75 update\n");
Replace other printk calls with the dev_info, dev_err or dev_warn
function, as appropriate.
* [Constants] Constants defines (registers, conversions) should be
aligned. This greatly improves readability.
Alignments are achieved by the means of tabs, not spaces. Remember
that tabs are set to 8 in the Linux kernel code.
* [Layout] Avoid extra empty lines between comments and what they
comment. Respect the coding style (see Documentation/CodingStyle),
in particular when it comes to placing curly braces.
* [Comments] Make sure that no comment refers to a file that isn't
part of the Linux source tree (typically doc/chips/<chip name>),
and that remaining comments still match the code. Merging comment
lines when possible is encouraged.

Probing and attaching
=====================
The Linux I2C stack was originally written to support access to hardware
monitoring chips on PC motherboards, and thus it embeds some assumptions
that are more appropriate to SMBus (and PCs) than to I2C. One of these
assumptions is that most adapters and devices drivers support the SMBUS_QUICK
protocol to probe device presence. Another is that devices and their drivers

that were more appropriate to SMBus (and PCs) than to I2C. One of these
assumptions was that most adapters and devices drivers support the SMBUS_QUICK
protocol to probe device presence. Another was that devices and their drivers
can be sufficiently configured using only such probe primitives.

Legacy Driver Binding Model
---------------------------
Initializing the driver
=======================
Most i2c devices can be present on several i2c addresses; for some this
is determined in hardware (by soldering some chip pins to Vcc or Ground),
for others this can be changed in software (by writing to specific client
registers). Some devices are usually on a specific address, but not always;
and some are even more tricky. So you will probably need to scan several
i2c addresses for your clients, and do some sort of detection to see
whether it is actually a device supported by your driver.
When the kernel is booted, or when your foo driver module is inserted,
you have to do some initializing. Fortunately, just registering the
driver module is usually enough.
To give the user a maximum of possibilities, some default module parameters
are defined to help determine what addresses are scanned. Several macros
are defined in i2c.h to help you support them, as well as a generic
detection algorithm.
static int __init foo_init(void)
{
return i2c_add_driver(&foo_driver);
}
You do not have to use this parameter interface; but don't try to use
function i2c_probe() if you don't.
static void __exit foo_cleanup(void)
{
i2c_del_driver(&foo_driver);
}
/* Substitute your own name and email address */
MODULE_AUTHOR("Frodo Looijaard <frodol@dds.nl>"
MODULE_DESCRIPTION("Driver for Barf Inc. Foo I2C devices");
Probing classes (Legacy model)
------------------------------
/* a few non-GPL license types are also allowed */
MODULE_LICENSE("GPL");
All parameters are given as lists of unsigned 16-bit integers. Lists are
terminated by I2C_CLIENT_END.
The following lists are used internally:
module_init(foo_init);
module_exit(foo_cleanup);
normal_i2c: filled in by the module writer.
A list of I2C addresses which should normally be examined.
probe: insmod parameter.
A list of pairs. The first value is a bus number (-1 for any I2C bus),
the second is the address. These addresses are also probed, as if they
were in the 'normal' list.
ignore: insmod parameter.
A list of pairs. The first value is a bus number (-1 for any I2C bus),
the second is the I2C address. These addresses are never probed.
This parameter overrules the 'normal_i2c' list only.
force: insmod parameter.
A list of pairs. The first value is a bus number (-1 for any I2C bus),
the second is the I2C address. A device is blindly assumed to be on
the given address, no probing is done.
Additionally, kind-specific force lists may optionally be defined if
the driver supports several chip kinds. They are grouped in a
NULL-terminated list of pointers named forces, those first element if the
generic force list mentioned above. Each additional list correspond to an
insmod parameter of the form force_<kind>.
Fortunately, as a module writer, you just have to define the `normal_i2c'
parameter. The complete declaration could look like this:
/* Scan 0x4c to 0x4f */
static const unsigned short normal_i2c[] = { 0x4c, 0x4d, 0x4e, 0x4f,
I2C_CLIENT_END };
/* Magic definition of all other variables and things */
I2C_CLIENT_INSMOD;
/* Or, if your driver supports, say, 2 kind of devices: */
I2C_CLIENT_INSMOD_2(foo, bar);
If you use the multi-kind form, an enum will be defined for you:
enum chips { any_chip, foo, bar, ... }
You can then (and certainly should) use it in the driver code.
Note that you *have* to call the defined variable `normal_i2c',
without any prefix!
Attaching to an adapter (Legacy model)
--------------------------------------
Whenever a new adapter is inserted, or for all adapters if the driver is
being registered, the callback attach_adapter() is called. Now is the
time to determine what devices are present on the adapter, and to register
a client for each of them.
The attach_adapter callback is really easy: we just call the generic
detection function. This function will scan the bus for us, using the
information as defined in the lists explained above. If a device is
detected at a specific address, another callback is called.
int foo_attach_adapter(struct i2c_adapter *adapter)
{
return i2c_probe(adapter,&addr_data,&foo_detect_client);
}
Remember, structure `addr_data' is defined by the macros explained above,
so you do not have to define it yourself.
The i2c_probe function will call the foo_detect_client
function only for those i2c addresses that actually have a device on
them (unless a `force' parameter was used). In addition, addresses that
are already in use (by some other registered client) are skipped.
The detect client function (Legacy model)
-----------------------------------------
The detect client function is called by i2c_probe. The `kind' parameter
contains -1 for a probed detection, 0 for a forced detection, or a positive
number for a forced detection with a chip type forced.
Returning an error different from -ENODEV in a detect function will cause
the detection to stop: other addresses and adapters won't be scanned.
This should only be done on fatal or internal errors, such as a memory
shortage or i2c_attach_client failing.
For now, you can ignore the `flags' parameter. It is there for future use.
int foo_detect_client(struct i2c_adapter *adapter, int address,
int kind)
{
int err = 0;
int i;
struct i2c_client *client;
struct foo_data *data;
const char *name = "";
/* Let's see whether this adapter can support what we need.

devices. */

very code-efficient in this case. */
ERROR1:

ERROR0:

}
Removing the client (Legacy model)
==================================
The detach_client call back function is called when a client should be
removed. It may actually fail, but only when panicking. This code is
much simpler than the attachment code, fortunately!
int foo_detach_client(struct i2c_client *client)
{
int err;
/* Try to detach the client from i2c space */
if ((err = i2c_detach_client(client)))
return err;
kfree(i2c_get_clientdata(client));
return 0;
}
Initializing the module or kernel
=================================
When the kernel is booted, or when your foo driver module is inserted,
you have to do some initializing. Fortunately, just attaching (registering)
the driver module is usually enough.
static int __init foo_init(void)
{
int res;
if ((res = i2c_add_driver(&foo_driver))) {
printk("foo: Driver registration failed, module not inserted.\n");
return res;
}
return 0;
}

Recipe for getting/building/running Xen/ia64 with pv_ops
--------------------------------------------------------
This recipe describes how to get xen-ia64 source and build it,
and run domU with pv_ops.
============
Requirements
============
- python
- mercurial
it (aka "hg") is an open-source source code
management software. See the below.
http://www.selenic.com/mercurial/wiki/
- git
- bridge-utils
=================================
Getting and Building Xen and Dom0
=================================
My environment is;
Machine : Tiger4
Domain0 OS : RHEL5
DomainU OS : RHEL5
1. Download source
# hg clone http://xenbits.xensource.com/ext/ia64/xen-unstable.hg
# cd xen-unstable.hg
# hg clone http://xenbits.xensource.com/ext/ia64/linux-2.6.18-xen.hg
2. # make world
3. # make install-tools
4. copy kernels and xen
# cp xen/xen.gz /boot/efi/efi/redhat/
# cp build-linux-2.6.18-xen_ia64/vmlinux.gz \
/boot/efi/efi/redhat/vmlinuz-2.6.18.8-xen
5. make initrd for Dom0/DomU
# make -C linux-2.6.18-xen.hg ARCH=ia64 modules_install \
O=$(/bin/pwd)/build-linux-2.6.18-xen_ia64
# mkinitrd -f /boot/efi/efi/redhat/initrd-2.6.18.8-xen.img \
2.6.18.8-xen --builtin mptspi --builtin mptbase \
--builtin mptscsih --builtin uhci-hcd --builtin ohci-hcd \
--builtin ehci-hcd
================================
Making a disk image for guest OS
================================
1. make file
# dd if=/dev/zero of=/root/rhel5.img bs=1M seek=4096 count=0
# mke2fs -F -j /root/rhel5.img
# mount -o loop /root/rhel5.img /mnt
# cp -ax /{dev,var,etc,usr,bin,sbin,lib} /mnt
# mkdir /mnt/{root,proc,sys,home,tmp}
Note: You may miss some device files. If so, please create them
with mknod. Or you can use tar instead of cp.
2. modify DomU's fstab
# vi /mnt/etc/fstab
/dev/xvda1 / ext3 defaults 1 1
none /dev/pts devpts gid=5,mode=620 0 0
none /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0
none /proc proc defaults 0 0
none /sys sysfs defaults 0 0
3. modify inittab
set runlevel to 3 to avoid X trying to start
# vi /mnt/etc/inittab
id:3:initdefault:
Start a getty on the hvc0 console
X0:2345:respawn:/sbin/mingetty hvc0
tty1-6 mingetty can be commented out
4. add hvc0 into /etc/securetty
# vi /mnt/etc/securetty (add hvc0)
5. umount
# umount /mnt
FYI, virt-manager can also make a disk image for guest OS.
It's GUI tools and easy to make it.
==================
Boot Xen & Domain0
==================
1. replace elilo
elilo of RHEL5 can boot Xen and Dom0.
If you use old elilo (e.g RHEL4), please download from the below
http://elilo.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/blosxom
and copy into /boot/efi/efi/redhat/
# cp elilo-3.6-ia64.efi /boot/efi/efi/redhat/elilo.efi
2. modify elilo.conf (like the below)
# vi /boot/efi/efi/redhat/elilo.conf
prompt
timeout=20
default=xen
relocatable
image=vmlinuz-2.6.18.8-xen
label=xen
vmm=xen.gz
initrd=initrd-2.6.18.8-xen.img
read-only
append=" -- rhgb root=/dev/sda2"
The append options before "--" are for xen hypervisor,
the options after "--" are for dom0.
FYI, your machine may need console options like
"com1=19200,8n1 console=vga,com1". For example,
append="com1=19200,8n1 console=vga,com1 -- rhgb console=tty0 \
console=ttyS0 root=/dev/sda2"
=====================================
Getting and Building domU with pv_ops
=====================================
1. get pv_ops tree
# git clone http://people.valinux.co.jp/~yamahata/xen-ia64/linux-2.6-xen-ia64.git/
2. git branch (if necessary)
# cd linux-2.6-xen-ia64/
# git checkout -b your_branch origin/xen-ia64-domu-minimal-2008may19
(Note: The current branch is xen-ia64-domu-minimal-2008may19.
But you would find the new branch. You can see with
"git branch -r" to get the branch lists.
http://people.valinux.co.jp/~yamahata/xen-ia64/for_eagl/linux-2.6-ia64-pv-ops.git/
is also available. The tree is based on
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/aegl/linux-2.6 test)
3. copy .config for pv_ops of domU
# cp arch/ia64/configs/xen_domu_wip_defconfig .config
4. make kernel with pv_ops
# make oldconfig
# make
5. install the kernel and initrd
# cp vmlinux.gz /boot/efi/efi/redhat/vmlinuz-2.6-pv_ops-xenU
# make modules_install
# mkinitrd -f /boot/efi/efi/redhat/initrd-2.6-pv_ops-xenU.img \
2.6.26-rc3xen-ia64-08941-g1b12161 --builtin mptspi \
--builtin mptbase --builtin mptscsih --builtin uhci-hcd \
--builtin ohci-hcd --builtin ehci-hcd
========================
Boot DomainU with pv_ops
========================
1. make config of DomU
# vi /etc/xen/rhel5
kernel = "/boot/efi/efi/redhat/vmlinuz-2.6-pv_ops-xenU"
ramdisk = "/boot/efi/efi/redhat/initrd-2.6-pv_ops-xenU.img"
vcpus = 1
memory = 512
name = "rhel5"
disk = [ 'file:/root/rhel5.img,xvda1,w' ]
root = "/dev/xvda1 ro"
extra= "rhgb console=hvc0"
2. After boot xen and dom0, start xend
# /etc/init.d/xend start
( In the debugging case, # XEND_DEBUG=1 xend trace_start )
3. start domU
# xm create -c rhel5

Kernel driver ics932s401
======================
Supported chips:
* IDT ICS932S401
Prefix: 'ics932s401'
Addresses scanned: I2C 0x69
Datasheet: Publically available at the IDT website
Author: Darrick J. Wong
Description
-----------
This driver implements support for the IDT ICS932S401 chip family.
This chip has 4 clock outputs--a base clock for the CPU (which is likely
multiplied to get the real CPU clock), a system clock, a PCI clock, a USB
clock, and a reference clock. The driver reports selected and actual
frequency. If spread spectrum mode is enabled, the driver also reports by what
percent the clock signal is being spread, which should be between 0 and -0.5%.
All frequencies are reported in KHz.
The ICS932S401 monitors all inputs continuously. The driver will not read
the registers more often than once every other second.
Special Features
----------------
The clocks could be reprogrammed to increase system speed. I will not help you
do this, as you risk damaging your system!

Elantech Touchpad Driver
========================
Copyright (C) 2007-2008 Arjan Opmeer <arjan@opmeer.net>
Extra information for hardware version 1 found and
provided by Steve Havelka
Version 2 (EeePC) hardware support based on patches
received from Woody at Xandros and forwarded to me
by user StewieGriffin at the eeeuser.com forum
Contents
~~~~~~~~
1. Introduction
2. Extra knobs
3. Hardware version 1
3.1 Registers
3.2 Native relative mode 4 byte packet format
3.3 Native absolute mode 4 byte packet format
4. Hardware version 2
4.1 Registers
4.2 Native absolute mode 6 byte packet format
4.2.1 One finger touch
4.2.2 Two finger touch
1. Introduction
~~~~~~~~~~~~
Currently the Linux Elantech touchpad driver is aware of two different
hardware versions unimaginatively called version 1 and version 2. Version 1
is found in "older" laptops and uses 4 bytes per packet. Version 2 seems to
be introduced with the EeePC and uses 6 bytes per packet.
The driver tries to support both hardware versions and should be compatible
with the Xorg Synaptics touchpad driver and its graphical configuration
utilities.
Additionally the operation of the touchpad can be altered by adjusting the
contents of some of its internal registers. These registers are represented
by the driver as sysfs entries under /sys/bus/serio/drivers/psmouse/serio?
that can be read from and written to.
Currently only the registers for hardware version 1 are somewhat understood.
Hardware version 2 seems to use some of the same registers but it is not
known whether the bits in the registers represent the same thing or might
have changed their meaning.
On top of that, some register settings have effect only when the touchpad is
in relative mode and not in absolute mode. As the Linux Elantech touchpad
driver always puts the hardware into absolute mode not all information
mentioned below can be used immediately. But because there is no freely
available Elantech documentation the information is provided here anyway for
completeness sake.
/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
2. Extra knobs
~~~~~~~~~~~
Currently the Linux Elantech touchpad driver provides two extra knobs under
/sys/bus/serio/drivers/psmouse/serio? for the user.
* debug
Turn different levels of debugging ON or OFF.
By echoing "0" to this file all debugging will be turned OFF.
Currently a value of "1" will turn on some basic debugging and a value of
"2" will turn on packet debugging. For hardware version 1 the default is
OFF. For version 2 the default is "1".
Turning packet debugging on will make the driver dump every packet
received to the syslog before processing it. Be warned that this can
generate quite a lot of data!
* paritycheck
Turns parity checking ON or OFF.
By echoing "0" to this file parity checking will be turned OFF. Any
non-zero value will turn it ON. For hardware version 1 the default is ON.
For version 2 the default it is OFF.
Hardware version 1 provides basic data integrity verification by
calculating a parity bit for the last 3 bytes of each packet. The driver
can check these bits and reject any packet that appears corrupted. Using
this knob you can bypass that check.
It is not known yet whether hardware version 2 provides the same parity
bits. Hence checking is disabled by default. Currently even turning it on
will do nothing.
/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
3. Hardware version 1
==================

The io_mapping functions in linux/io-mapping.h provide an abstraction for
efficiently mapping small regions of an I/O device to the CPU. The initial
usage is to support the large graphics aperture on 32-bit processors where
ioremap_wc cannot be used to statically map the entire aperture to the CPU
as it would consume too much of the kernel address space.
A mapping object is created during driver initialization using
struct io_mapping *io_mapping_create_wc(unsigned long base,
unsigned long size)
'base' is the bus address of the region to be made
mappable, while 'size' indicates how large a mapping region to
enable. Both are in bytes.
This _wc variant provides a mapping which may only be used
with the io_mapping_map_atomic_wc or io_mapping_map_wc.
With this mapping object, individual pages can be mapped either atomically
or not, depending on the necessary scheduling environment. Of course, atomic
maps are more efficient:
void *io_mapping_map_atomic_wc(struct io_mapping *mapping,
unsigned long offset)
'offset' is the offset within the defined mapping region.
Accessing addresses beyond the region specified in the
creation function yields undefined results. Using an offset
which is not page aligned yields an undefined result. The
return value points to a single page in CPU address space.
This _wc variant returns a write-combining map to the
page and may only be used with mappings created by
io_mapping_create_wc
Note that the task may not sleep while holding this page
mapped.
void io_mapping_unmap_atomic(void *vaddr)
'vaddr' must be the the value returned by the last
io_mapping_map_atomic_wc call. This unmaps the specified
page and allows the task to sleep once again.
If you need to sleep while holding the lock, you can use the non-atomic
variant, although they may be significantly slower.
void *io_mapping_map_wc(struct io_mapping *mapping,
unsigned long offset)
This works like io_mapping_map_atomic_wc except it allows
the task to sleep while holding the page mapped.
void io_mapping_unmap(void *vaddr)
This works like io_mapping_unmap_atomic, except it is used
for pages mapped with io_mapping_map_wc.
At driver close time, the io_mapping object must be freed:
void io_mapping_free(struct io_mapping *mapping)
Current Implementation:
The initial implementation of these functions uses existing mapping
mechanisms and so provides only an abstraction layer and no new
functionality.
On 64-bit processors, io_mapping_create_wc calls ioremap_wc for the whole
range, creating a permanent kernel-visible mapping to the resource. The
map_atomic and map functions add the requested offset to the base of the
virtual address returned by ioremap_wc.
On 32-bit processors with HIGHMEM defined, io_mapping_map_atomic_wc uses
kmap_atomic_pfn to map the specified page in an atomic fashion;
kmap_atomic_pfn isn't really supposed to be used with device pages, but it
provides an efficient mapping for this usage.
On 32-bit processors without HIGHMEM defined, io_mapping_map_atomic_wc and
io_mapping_map_wc both use ioremap_wc, a terribly inefficient function which
performs an IPI to inform all processors about the new mapping. This results
in a significant performance penalty.

If variable is of Type, use printk format specifier:
---------------------------------------------------------
int %d or %x
unsigned int %u or %x
long %ld or %lx
unsigned long %lu or %lx
long long %lld or %llx
unsigned long long %llu or %llx
size_t %zu or %zx
ssize_t %zd or %zx
Raw pointer value SHOULD be printed with %p.
u64 SHOULD be printed with %llu/%llx, (unsigned long long):
printk("%llu", (unsigned long long)u64_var);
s64 SHOULD be printed with %lld/%llx, (long long):
printk("%lld", (long long)s64_var);
If <type> is dependent on a config option for its size (e.g., sector_t,
blkcnt_t, phys_addr_t, resource_size_t) or is architecture-dependent
for its size (e.g., tcflag_t), use a format specifier of its largest
possible type and explicitly cast to it. Example:
printk("test: sector number/total blocks: %llu/%llu\n",
(unsigned long long)sector, (unsigned long long)blockcount);
Reminder: sizeof() result is of type size_t.
Thank you for your cooperation and attention.
