NOTE! This copyright does *not* cover user programs that use kernel
services by normal system calls - this is merely considered normal use
of the kernel, and does *not* fall under the heading of "derived work".
Also note that the GPL below is copyrighted by the Free Software
Foundation, but the instance of code that it refers to (the Linux
kernel) is copyrighted by me and others who actually wrote it.
Also note that the only valid version of the GPL as far as the kernel
is concerned is _this_ particular version of the license (ie v2, not
v2.2 or v3.x or whatever), unless explicitly otherwise stated.

GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
Version 2, June 1991
Copyright (C) 1989, 1991 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
51 Franklin St, Fifth Floor, Boston, MA 02110-1301 USA
Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies
of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.
Preamble
The licenses for most software are designed to take away your
freedom to share and change it. By contrast, the GNU General Public
License is intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change free
software--to make sure the software is free for all its users. This
General Public License applies to most of the Free Software
Foundation's software and to any other program whose authors commit to
using it. (Some other Free Software Foundation software is covered by
the GNU Library General Public License instead.) You can apply it to
your programs, too.
When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not
price. Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you
have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for
this service if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it
if you want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it
in new free programs; and that you know you can do these things.
To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid
anyone to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender the rights.
These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for you if you
distribute copies of the software, or if you modify it.
For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether
gratis or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that
you have. You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the
source code. And you must show them these terms so they know their
rights.
We protect your rights with two steps: (1) copyright the software, and
(2) offer you this license which gives you legal permission to copy,
distribute and/or modify the software.
Also, for each author's protection and ours, we want to make certain
that everyone understands that there is no warranty for this free
software. If the software is modified by someone else and passed on, we
want its recipients to know that what they have is not the original, so
that any problems introduced by others will not reflect on the original
authors' reputations.
Finally, any free program is threatened constantly by software
patents. We wish to avoid the danger that redistributors of a free
program will individually obtain patent licenses, in effect making the
program proprietary. To prevent this, we have made it clear that any
patent must be licensed for everyone's free use or not licensed at all.
The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and
modification follow.
GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION
0. This License applies to any program or other work which contains
a notice placed by the copyright holder saying it may be distributed
under the terms of this General Public License. The "Program", below,
refers to any such program or work, and a "work based on the Program"
means either the Program or any derivative work under copyright law:
that is to say, a work containing the Program or a portion of it,
either verbatim or with modifications and/or translated into another
language. (Hereinafter, translation is included without limitation in
the term "modification".) Each licensee is addressed as "you".
Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not
covered by this License; they are outside its scope. The act of
running the Program is not restricted, and the output from the Program
is covered only if its contents constitute a work based on the
Program (independent of having been made by running the Program).
Whether that is true depends on what the Program does.
1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Program's
source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you
conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate
copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the
notices that refer to this License and to the absence of any warranty;
and give any other recipients of the Program a copy of this License
along with the Program.
You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, and
you may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a fee.
2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any portion
of it, thus forming a work based on the Program, and copy and
distribute such modifications or work under the terms of Section 1
above, provided that you also meet all of these conditions:
a) You must cause the modified files to carry prominent notices
stating that you changed the files and the date of any change.
b) You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that in
whole or in part contains or is derived from the Program or any
part thereof, to be licensed as a whole at no charge to all third
parties under the terms of this License.
c) If the modified program normally reads commands interactively
when run, you must cause it, when started running for such
interactive use in the most ordinary way, to print or display an
announcement including an appropriate copyright notice and a
notice that there is no warranty (or else, saying that you provide
a warranty) and that users may redistribute the program under
these conditions, and telling the user how to view a copy of this
License. (Exception: if the Program itself is interactive but
does not normally print such an announcement, your work based on
the Program is not required to print an announcement.)
These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole. If
identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the Program,
and can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in
themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those
sections when you distribute them as separate works. But when you
distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a work based
on the Program, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of
this License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the
entire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote it.
Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest
your rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to
exercise the right to control the distribution of derivative or
collective works based on the Program.
In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Program
with the Program (or with a work based on the Program) on a volume of
a storage or distribution medium does not bring the other work under
the scope of this License.
3. You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based on it,
under Section 2) in object code or executable form under the terms of
Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you also do one of the following:
a) Accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable
source code, which must be distributed under the terms of Sections
1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or,
b) Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three
years, to give any third party, for a charge no more than your
cost of physically performing source distribution, a complete
machine-readable copy of the corresponding source code, to be
distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium
customarily used for software interchange; or,
c) Accompany it with the information you received as to the offer
to distribute corresponding source code. (This alternative is
allowed only for noncommercial distribution and only if you
received the program in object code or executable form with such
an offer, in accord with Subsection b above.)
The source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for
making modifications to it. For an executable work, complete source
code means all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any
associated interface definition files, plus the scripts used to
control compilation and installation of the executable. However, as a
special exception, the source code distributed need not include
anything that is normally distributed (in either source or binary
form) with the major components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the
operating system on which the executable runs, unless that component
itself accompanies the executable.
If distribution of executable or object code is made by offering
access to copy from a designated place, then offering equivalent
access to copy the source code from the same place counts as
distribution of the source code, even though third parties are not
compelled to copy the source along with the object code.
4. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Program
except as expressly provided under this License. Any attempt
otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense or distribute the Program is
void, and will automatically terminate your rights under this License.
However, parties who have received copies, or rights, from you under
this License will not have their licenses terminated so long as such
parties remain in full compliance.
5. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not
signed it. However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or
distribute the Program or its derivative works. These actions are
prohibited by law if you do not accept this License. Therefore, by
modifying or distributing the Program (or any work based on the
Program), you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so, and
all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying
the Program or works based on it.
6. Each time you redistribute the Program (or any work based on the
Program), the recipient automatically receives a license from the
original licensor to copy, distribute or modify the Program subject to
these terms and conditions. You may not impose any further
restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein.
You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties to
this License.
7. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent
infringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent issues),
conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or
otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not
excuse you from the conditions of this License. If you cannot
distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this
License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you
may not distribute the Program at all. For example, if a patent
license would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Program by
all those who receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then
the only way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to
refrain entirely from distribution of the Program.
If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under
any particular circumstance, the balance of the section is intended to
apply and the section as a whole is intended to apply in other
circumstances.
It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any
patents or other property right claims or to contest validity of any
such claims; this section has the sole purpose of protecting the
integrity of the free software distribution system, which is
implemented by public license practices. Many people have made
generous contributions to the wide range of software distributed
through that system in reliance on consistent application of that
system; it is up to the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing
to distribute software through any other system and a licensee cannot
impose that choice.
This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to
be a consequence of the rest of this License.
8. If the distribution and/or use of the Program is restricted in
certain countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the
original copyright holder who places the Program under this License
may add an explicit geographical distribution limitation excluding
those countries, so that distribution is permitted only in or among
countries not thus excluded. In such case, this License incorporates
the limitation as if written in the body of this License.
9. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions
of the General Public License from time to time. Such new versions will
be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to
address new problems or concerns.
Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the Program
specifies a version number of this License which applies to it and "any
later version", you have the option of following the terms and conditions
either of that version or of any later version published by the Free
Software Foundation. If the Program does not specify a version number of
this License, you may choose any version ever published by the Free Software
Foundation.
10. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Program into other free
programs whose distribution conditions are different, write to the author
to ask for permission. For software which is copyrighted by the Free
Software Foundation, write to the Free Software Foundation; we sometimes
make exceptions for this. Our decision will be guided by the two goals
of preserving the free status of all derivatives of our free software and
of promoting the sharing and reuse of software generally.
NO WARRANTY
11. BECAUSE THE PROGRAM IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO WARRANTY
FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW. EXCEPT WHEN
OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES
PROVIDE THE PROGRAM "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED
OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF
MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS
TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE
PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING,
REPAIR OR CORRECTION.
12. IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING
WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY AND/OR
REDISTRIBUTE THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES,
INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING
OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED
TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY
YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER
PROGRAMS), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE
POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS
How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs
If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the greatest
possible use to the public, the best way to achieve this is to make it
free software which everyone can redistribute and change under these terms.
To do so, attach the following notices to the program. It is safest
to attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively
convey the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least
the "copyright" line and a pointer to where the full notice is found.
<one line to give the program's name and a brief idea of what it does.>
Copyright (C) <year> <name of author>
This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify
it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by
the Free Software Foundation; either version 2 of the License, or
(at your option) any later version.
This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful,
but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of
MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. See the
GNU General Public License for more details.
You should have received a copy of the GNU General Public License
along with this program; if not, write to the Free Software
Foundation, Inc., 51 Franklin St, Fifth Floor, Boston, MA 02110-1301 USA
Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper mail.
If the program is interactive, make it output a short notice like this
when it starts in an interactive mode:
Gnomovision version 69, Copyright (C) year name of author
Gnomovision comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY; for details type `show w'.
This is free software, and you are welcome to redistribute it
under certain conditions; type `show c' for details.
The hypothetical commands `show w' and `show c' should show the appropriate
parts of the General Public License. Of course, the commands you use may
be called something other than `show w' and `show c'; they could even be
mouse-clicks or menu items--whatever suits your program.
You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or your
school, if any, to sign a "copyright disclaimer" for the program, if
necessary. Here is a sample; alter the names:
Yoyodyne, Inc., hereby disclaims all copyright interest in the program
`Gnomovision' (which makes passes at compilers) written by James Hacker.
<signature of Ty Coon>, 1 April 1989
Ty Coon, President of Vice
This General Public License does not permit incorporating your program into
proprietary programs. If your program is a subroutine library, you may
consider it more useful to permit linking proprietary applications with the
library. If this is what you want to do, use the GNU Library General
Public License instead of this License.

This directory attempts to document the ABI between the Linux kernel and
userspace, and the relative stability of these interfaces. Due to the
everchanging nature of Linux, and the differing maturity levels, these
interfaces should be used by userspace programs in different ways.
We have four different levels of ABI stability, as shown by the four
different subdirectories in this location. Interfaces may change levels
of stability according to the rules described below.
The different levels of stability are:
stable/
This directory documents the interfaces that the developer has
defined to be stable. Userspace programs are free to use these
interfaces with no restrictions, and backward compatibility for
them will be guaranteed for at least 2 years. Most interfaces
(like syscalls) are expected to never change and always be
available.
testing/
This directory documents interfaces that are felt to be stable,
as the main development of this interface has been completed.
The interface can be changed to add new features, but the
current interface will not break by doing this, unless grave
errors or security problems are found in them. Userspace
programs can start to rely on these interfaces, but they must be
aware of changes that can occur before these interfaces move to
be marked stable. Programs that use these interfaces are
strongly encouraged to add their name to the description of
these interfaces, so that the kernel developers can easily
notify them if any changes occur (see the description of the
layout of the files below for details on how to do this.)
obsolete/
This directory documents interfaces that are still remaining in
the kernel, but are marked to be removed at some later point in
time. The description of the interface will document the reason
why it is obsolete and when it can be expected to be removed.
removed/
This directory contains a list of the old interfaces that have
been removed from the kernel.
Every file in these directories will contain the following information:
What: Short description of the interface
Date: Date created
KernelVersion: Kernel version this feature first showed up in.
Contact: Primary contact for this interface (may be a mailing list)
Description: Long description of the interface and how to use it.
Users: All users of this interface who wish to be notified when
it changes. This is very important for interfaces in
the "testing" stage, so that kernel developers can work
with userspace developers to ensure that things do not
break in ways that are unacceptable. It is also
important to get feedback for these interfaces to make
sure they are working in a proper way and do not need to
be changed further.
How things move between levels:
Interfaces in stable may move to obsolete, as long as the proper
notification is given.
Interfaces may be removed from obsolete and the kernel as long as the
documented amount of time has gone by.
Interfaces in the testing state can move to the stable state when the
developers feel they are finished. They cannot be removed from the
kernel tree without going through the obsolete state first.
It's up to the developer to place their interfaces in the category they
wish for it to start out in.
Notable bits of non-ABI, which should not under any circumstances be considered
stable:
- Kconfig. Userspace should not rely on the presence or absence of any
particular Kconfig symbol, in /proc/config.gz, in the copy of .config
commonly installed to /boot, or in any invocation of the kernel build
process.
- Kernel-internal symbols. Do not rely on the presence, absence, location, or
type of any kernel symbol, either in System.map files or the kernel binary
itself. See Documentation/stable_api_nonsense.txt.

What: /sys/bus/usb/devices/.../power/level
Date: March 2007
KernelVersion: 2.6.21
Contact: Alan Stern <stern@rowland.harvard.edu>
Description:
Each USB device directory will contain a file named
power/level. This file holds a power-level setting for
the device, either "on" or "auto".
"on" means that the device is not allowed to autosuspend,
although normal suspends for system sleep will still
be honored. "auto" means the device will autosuspend
and autoresume in the usual manner, according to the
capabilities of its driver.
During normal use, devices should be left in the "auto"
level. The "on" level is meant for administrative uses.
If you want to suspend a device immediately but leave it
free to wake up in response to I/O requests, you should
write "0" to power/autosuspend.
Device not capable of proper suspend and resume should be
left in the "on" level. Although the USB spec requires
devices to support suspend/resume, many of them do not.
In fact so many don't that by default, the USB core
initializes all non-hub devices in the "on" level. Some
drivers may change this setting when they are bound.
This file is deprecated and will be removed after 2010.
Use the power/control file instead; it does exactly the
same thing.

Description:
The character device files /dev/fw* are the interface between
firewire-core and IEEE 1394 device drivers implemented in
userspace. The ioctl(2)- and read(2)-based ABI is defined and
documented in <linux/firewire-cdev.h>.
This ABI offers most of the features which firewire-core also
exposes to kernelspace IEEE 1394 drivers.
Each /dev/fw* is associated with one IEEE 1394 node, which can
be remote or local nodes. Operations on a /dev/fw* file have
different scope:
- The 1394 node which is associated with the file:
- Asynchronous request transmission
- Get the Configuration ROM
- Query node ID
- Query maximum speed of the path between this node
and local node
- The 1394 bus (i.e. "card") to which the node is attached to:
- Isochronous stream transmission and reception
- Asynchronous stream transmission and reception
- Asynchronous broadcast request transmission
- PHY packet transmission and reception
- Allocate, reallocate, deallocate isochronous
resources (channels, bandwidth) at the bus's IRM
- Query node IDs of local node, root node, IRM, bus
manager
- Query cycle time
- Bus reset initiation, bus reset event reception
- All 1394 buses:
- Allocation of IEEE 1212 address ranges on the local
link layers, reception of inbound requests to such
an address range, asynchronous response transmission
to inbound requests
- Addition of descriptors or directories to the local
nodes' Configuration ROM
Due to the different scope of operations and in order to let
userland implement different access permission models, some
operations are restricted to /dev/fw* files that are associated
with a local node:
- Addition of descriptors or directories to the local
nodes' Configuration ROM
- PHY packet transmission and reception
A /dev/fw* file remains associated with one particular node
during its entire life time. Bus topology changes, and hence
node ID changes, are tracked by firewire-core. ABI users do not
need to be aware of topology.
The following file operations are supported:
open(2)
Currently the only useful flags are O_RDWR.
ioctl(2)
Initiate various actions. Some take immediate effect, others
are performed asynchronously while or after the ioctl returns.
See the inline documentation in <linux/firewire-cdev.h> for
descriptions of all ioctls.
poll(2), select(2), epoll_wait(2) etc.
Watch for events to become available to be read.
read(2)
Receive various events. There are solicited events like
outbound asynchronous transaction completion or isochronous
buffer completion, and unsolicited events such as bus resets,
request reception, or PHY packet reception. Always use a read
buffer which is large enough to receive the largest event that
could ever arrive. See <linux/firewire-cdev.h> for descriptions
of all event types and for which ioctls affect reception of
events.
mmap(2)
Allocate a DMA buffer for isochronous reception or transmission
and map it into the process address space. The arguments should
be used as follows: addr = NULL, length = the desired buffer
size, i.e. number of packets times size of largest packet,
prot = at least PROT_READ for reception and at least PROT_WRITE
for transmission, flags = MAP_SHARED, fd = the handle to the
/dev/fw*, offset = 0.
Isochronous reception works in packet-per-buffer fashion except
for multichannel reception which works in buffer-fill mode.
munmap(2)
Unmap the isochronous I/O buffer from the process address space.
close(2)
Besides stopping and freeing I/O contexts that were associated
with the file descriptor, back out any changes to the local
nodes' Configuration ROM. Deallocate isochronous channels and
bandwidth at the IRM that were marked for kernel-assisted
re- and deallocation.

What: /sys/class/misc/tpmX/device/temp_deactivated
Date: April 2006
KernelVersion: 2.6.17
Contact: tpmdd-devel@lists.sf.net
Description: The "temp_deactivated" property returns a '1' if the chip has
been temporarily dectivated, usually until the next power
cycle. Whether a warm boot (reboot) will clear a TPM chip
from a temp_deactivated state is platform specific.
What: /sys/class/misc/tpmX/device/timeouts
Date: March 2011
KernelVersion: 3.1
Contact: tpmdd-devel@lists.sf.net
Description: The "timeouts" property shows the 4 vendor-specific values
for the TPM's interface spec timeouts. The use of these
timeouts is defined by the TPM interface spec that the chip
conforms to.
Example output:
750000 750000 750000 750000 [original]
The four timeout values are shown in usecs, with a trailing
"[original]" or "[adjusted]" depending on whether the values
were scaled by the driver to be reported in usec from msecs.

What: /sys/class/infiniband_srp/srp-<hca>-<port_number>/add_target
Date: January 2, 2006
KernelVersion: 2.6.15
Contact: linux-rdma@vger.kernel.org
Description: Interface for making ib_srp connect to a new target.
One can request ib_srp to connect to a new target by writing
a comma-separated list of login parameters to this sysfs
attribute. The supported parameters are:
* id_ext, a 16-digit hexadecimal number specifying the eight
byte identifier extension in the 16-byte SRP target port
identifier. The target port identifier is sent by ib_srp
to the target in the SRP_LOGIN_REQ request.
* ioc_guid, a 16-digit hexadecimal number specifying the eight
byte I/O controller GUID portion of the 16-byte target port
identifier.
* dgid, a 32-digit hexadecimal number specifying the
destination GID.
* pkey, a four-digit hexadecimal number specifying the
InfiniBand partition key.
* service_id, a 16-digit hexadecimal number specifying the
InfiniBand service ID used to establish communication with
the SRP target. How to find out the value of the service ID
is specified in the documentation of the SRP target.
* max_sect, a decimal number specifying the maximum number of
512-byte sectors to be transferred via a single SCSI command.
* max_cmd_per_lun, a decimal number specifying the maximum
number of outstanding commands for a single LUN.
* io_class, a hexadecimal number specifying the SRP I/O class.
Must be either 0xff00 (rev 10) or 0x0100 (rev 16a). The I/O
class defines the format of the SRP initiator and target
port identifiers.
* initiator_ext, a 16-digit hexadecimal number specifying the
identifier extension portion of the SRP initiator port
identifier. This data is sent by the initiator to the target
in the SRP_LOGIN_REQ request.
* cmd_sg_entries, a number in the range 1..255 that specifies
the maximum number of data buffer descriptors stored in the
SRP_CMD information unit itself. With allow_ext_sg=0 the
parameter cmd_sg_entries defines the maximum S/G list length
for a single SRP_CMD, and commands whose S/G list length
exceeds this limit after S/G list collapsing will fail.
* allow_ext_sg, whether ib_srp is allowed to include a partial
memory descriptor list in an SRP_CMD instead of the entire
list. If a partial memory descriptor list has been included
in an SRP_CMD the remaining memory descriptors are
communicated from initiator to target via an additional RDMA
transfer. Setting allow_ext_sg to 1 increases the maximum
amount of data that can be transferred between initiator and
target via a single SCSI command. Since not all SRP target
implementations support partial memory descriptor lists the
default value for this option is 0.
* sg_tablesize, a number in the range 1..2048 specifying the
maximum S/G list length the SCSI layer is allowed to pass to
ib_srp. Specifying a value that exceeds cmd_sg_entries is
only safe with partial memory descriptor list support enabled
(allow_ext_sg=1).
* comp_vector, a number in the range 0..n-1 specifying the
MSI-X completion vector. Some HCA's allocate multiple (n)
MSI-X vectors per HCA port. If the IRQ affinity masks of
these interrupts have been configured such that each MSI-X
interrupt is handled by a different CPU then the comp_vector
parameter can be used to spread the SRP completion workload
over multiple CPU's.
* tl_retry_count, a number in the range 2..7 specifying the
IB RC retry count.
* queue_size, the maximum number of commands that the
initiator is allowed to queue per SCSI host. The default
value for this parameter is 62. The lowest supported value
is 2.

Description:
This directory exposes interfaces for interactive with
EFI variables. For more information on EFI variables,
see 'Variable Services' in the UEFI specification
(section 7.2 in specification version 2.3 Errata D).
In summary, EFI variables are named, and are classified
into separate namespaces through the use of a vendor
GUID. They also have an arbitrary binary value
associated with them.
The efivars module enumerates these variables and
creates a separate directory for each one found. Each
directory has a name of the form "<key>-<vendor guid>"
and contains the following files:
attributes: A read-only text file enumerating the
EFI variable flags. Potential values
include:
EFI_VARIABLE_NON_VOLATILE
EFI_VARIABLE_BOOTSERVICE_ACCESS
EFI_VARIABLE_RUNTIME_ACCESS
EFI_VARIABLE_HARDWARE_ERROR_RECORD
EFI_VARIABLE_AUTHENTICATED_WRITE_ACCESS
See the EFI documentation for an
explanation of each of these variables.
data: A read-only binary file that can be read
to attain the value of the EFI variable
guid: The vendor GUID of the variable. This
should always match the GUID in the
variable's name.
raw_var: A binary file that can be read to obtain
a structure that contains everything
there is to know about the variable.
For structure definition see "struct
efi_variable" in the kernel sources.
This file can also be written to in
order to update the value of a variable.
For this to work however, all fields of
the "struct efi_variable" passed must
match byte for byte with the structure
read out of the file, save for the value
portion.
**Note** the efi_variable structure
read/written with this file contains a
'long' type that may change widths
depending on your underlying
architecture.
size: As ASCII representation of the size of
the variable's value.
In addition, two other magic binary files are provided
in the top-level directory and are used for adding and
removing variables:
new_var: Takes a "struct efi_variable" and
instructs the EFI firmware to create a
new variable.
del_var: Takes a "struct efi_variable" and
instructs the EFI firmware to remove any
variable that has a matching vendor GUID
and variable key name.

initiate_dump: When '1' is written to it,
we will initiate a dump.
Read this file for supported commands.
0xXX-0xYYYY: A directory for dump of type 0xXX and

among all dumps. For determining the type
and ID of the dump, use the id and type files.
Do not rely on any particular size of dump
type or dump id.
Each dump has the following files:
id: An ASCII representation of the dump ID
in hex (e.g. '0x01')
type: An ASCII representation of the type of
dump in the format "0x%x %s" with the ID
in hex and a description of the dump type
(or 'unknown').
Type '0xffffffff unknown' is used when
we could not get the type from firmware.
e.g. '0x02 System/Platform Dump'
dump: A binary file containing the dump.
The size of the dump is the size of this file.
acknowledge: When 'ack' is written to this, we will
acknowledge that we've retrieved the
dump to the service processor. It will
then remove it, making the dump
inaccessible.
Reading this file will get a list of

What: /sys/firmware/opal/elog
Date: Feb 2014
Contact: Stewart Smith <stewart@linux.vnet.ibm.com>
Description:
This directory exposes error log entries retrieved
through the OPAL firmware interface.
Each error log is identified by a unique ID and will
exist until explicitly acknowledged to firmware.
Each log entry has a directory in /sys/firmware/opal/elog.
Log entries may be purged by the service processor
before retrieved by firmware or retrieved/acknowledged by
Linux if there is no room for more log entries.
In the event that Linux has retrieved the log entries
but not explicitly acknowledged them to firmware and
the service processor needs more room for log entries,
the only remaining copy of a log message may be in
Linux.
Typically, a user space daemon will monitor for new
entries, read them out and acknowledge them.
The service processor may be able to store more log
entries than firmware can, so after you acknowledge
an event from Linux you may instantly get another one
from the queue that was generated some time in the past.
The raw log format is a binary format. We currently
do not parse this at all in kernel, leaving it up to
user space to solve the problem. In future, we may
do more parsing in kernel and add more files to make
it easier for simple user space processes to extract
more information.
For each log entry (directory), there are the following
files:
id: An ASCII representation of the ID of the
error log, in hex - e.g. "0x01".
type: An ASCII representation of the type id and
description of the type of error log.
Currently just "0x00 PEL" - platform error log.
In the future there may be additional types.
raw: A read-only binary file that can be read
to get the raw log entry. These are
<16kb, often just hundreds of bytes and
"average" 2kb.
acknowledge: Writing 'ack' to this file will acknowledge
the error log to firmware (and in turn
the service processor, if applicable).
Shortly after acknowledging it, the log
entry will be removed from sysfs.
Reading this file will list the supported
operations (curently just acknowledge).

@ -0,0 +1,27 @@
On some architectures, when the kernel loads any userspace program it
maps an ELF DSO into that program's address space. This DSO is called
the vDSO and it often contains useful and highly-optimized alternatives
to real syscalls.
These functions are called just like ordinary C function according to
your platform's ABI. Call them from a sensible context. (For example,
if you set CS on x86 to something strange, the vDSO functions are
within their rights to crash.) In addition, if you pass a bad
pointer to a vDSO function, you might get SIGSEGV instead of -EFAULT.
To find the DSO, parse the auxiliary vector passed to the program's
entry point. The AT_SYSINFO_EHDR entry will point to the vDSO.
The vDSO uses symbol versioning; whenever you request a symbol from the
vDSO, specify the version you are expecting.
Programs that dynamically link to glibc will use the vDSO automatically.
Otherwise, you can use the reference parser in Documentation/vDSO/parse_vdso.c.
Unless otherwise noted, the set of symbols with any given version and the
ABI of those symbols is considered stable. It may vary across architectures,
though.
(As of this writing, this ABI documentation as been confirmed for x86_64.
The maintainers of the other vDSO-using architectures should confirm
that it is correct for their architecture.)

What: /dev/kmsg
Date: Mai 2012
KernelVersion: 3.5
Contact: Kay Sievers <kay@vrfy.org>
Description: The /dev/kmsg character device node provides userspace access
to the kernel's printk buffer.
Injecting messages:
Every write() to the opened device node places a log entry in
the kernel's printk buffer.
The logged line can be prefixed with a <N> syslog prefix, which
carries the syslog priority and facility. The single decimal
prefix number is composed of the 3 lowest bits being the syslog
priority and the higher bits the syslog facility number.
If no prefix is given, the priority number is the default kernel
log priority and the facility number is set to LOG_USER (1). It
is not possible to inject messages from userspace with the
facility number LOG_KERN (0), to make sure that the origin of
the messages can always be reliably determined.
Accessing the buffer:
Every read() from the opened device node receives one record
of the kernel's printk buffer.
The first read() directly following an open() always returns
first message in the buffer; there is no kernel-internal
persistent state; many readers can concurrently open the device
and read from it, without affecting other readers.
Every read() will receive the next available record. If no more
records are available read() will block, or if O_NONBLOCK is
used -EAGAIN returned.
Messages in the record ring buffer get overwritten as whole,
there are never partial messages received by read().
In case messages get overwritten in the circular buffer while
the device is kept open, the next read() will return -EPIPE,
and the seek position be updated to the next available record.
Subsequent reads() will return available records again.
Unlike the classic syslog() interface, the 64 bit record
sequence numbers allow to calculate the amount of lost
messages, in case the buffer gets overwritten. And they allow
to reconnect to the buffer and reconstruct the read position
if needed, without limiting the interface to a single reader.
The device supports seek with the following parameters:
SEEK_SET, 0
seek to the first entry in the buffer
SEEK_END, 0
seek after the last entry in the buffer
SEEK_DATA, 0
seek after the last record available at the time
the last SYSLOG_ACTION_CLEAR was issued.
The output format consists of a prefix carrying the syslog
prefix including priority and facility, the 64 bit message
sequence number and the monotonic timestamp in microseconds,
and a flag field. All fields are separated by a ','.
Future extensions might add more comma separated values before
the terminating ';'. Unknown fields and values should be
gracefully ignored.
The human readable text string starts directly after the ';'
and is terminated by a '\n'. Untrusted values derived from
hardware or other facilities are printed, therefore
all non-printable characters and '\' itself in the log message
are escaped by "\x00" C-style hex encoding.
A line starting with ' ', is a continuation line, adding
key/value pairs to the log message, which provide the machine
readable context of the message, for reliable processing in
userspace.
Example:
7,160,424069,-;pci_root PNP0A03:00: host bridge window [io 0x0000-0x0cf7] (ignored)
SUBSYSTEM=acpi
DEVICE=+acpi:PNP0A03:00
6,339,5140900,-;NET: Registered protocol family 10
30,340,5690716,-;udevd[80]: starting version 181
The DEVICE= key uniquely identifies devices the following way:
b12:8 - block dev_t
c127:3 - char dev_t
n8 - netdev ifindex
+sound:card0 - subsystem:devname
The flags field carries '-' by default. A 'c' indicates a
fragment of a line. All following fragments are flagged with
'+'. Note, that these hints about continuation lines are not
necessarily correct, and the stream could be interleaved with
unrelated messages, but merging the lines in the output
usually produces better human readable results. A similar
logic is used internally when messages are printed to the
console, /proc/kmsg or the syslog() syscall.

What: security/evm
Date: March 2011
Contact: Mimi Zohar <zohar@us.ibm.com>
Description:
EVM protects a file's security extended attributes(xattrs)
against integrity attacks. The initial method maintains an
HMAC-sha1 value across the extended attributes, storing the
value as the extended attribute 'security.evm'.
EVM depends on the Kernel Key Retention System to provide it
with a trusted/encrypted key for the HMAC-sha1 operation.
The key is loaded onto the root's keyring using keyctl. Until
EVM receives notification that the key has been successfully
loaded onto the keyring (echo 1 > <securityfs>/evm), EVM
can not create or validate the 'security.evm' xattr, but
returns INTEGRITY_UNKNOWN. Loading the key and signaling EVM
should be done as early as possible. Normally this is done
in the initramfs, which has already been measured as part
of the trusted boot. For more information on creating and
loading existing trusted/encrypted keys, refer to:
Documentation/keys-trusted-encrypted.txt. (A sample dracut
patch, which loads the trusted/encrypted key and enables
EVM, is available from http://linux-ima.sourceforge.net/#EVM.)

Kernel Version: 2.6.39
Contact: tony.luck@intel.com
Description: Generic interface to platform dependent persistent storage.
Platforms that provide a mechanism to preserve some data
across system reboots can register with this driver to
provide a generic interface to show records captured in
the dying moments. In the case of a panic the last part
of the console log is captured, but other interesting
data can also be saved.
# mount -t pstore -o kmsg_bytes=8000 - /sys/fs/pstore
$ ls -l /sys/fs/pstore/
total 0
-r--r--r-- 1 root root 7896 Nov 30 15:38 dmesg-erst-1
Different users of this interface will result in different
filename prefixes. Currently two are defined:
"dmesg" - saved console log
"mce" - architecture dependent data from fatal h/w error
Once the information in a file has been read, removing
the file will signal to the underlying persistent storage
device that it can reclaim the space for later re-use.
$ rm /sys/fs/pstore/dmesg-erst-1
The expectation is that all files in /sys/fs/pstore/
will be saved elsewhere and erased from persistent store
soon after boot to free up space ready for the next
catastrophe.
The 'kmsg_bytes' mount option changes the target amount of
data saved on each oops/panic. Pstore saves (possibly
multiple) files based on the record size of the underlying
persistent storage until at least this amount is reached.
Default is 10 Kbytes.
Pstore only supports one backend at a time. If multiple
backends are available, the preferred backend may be
set by passing the pstore.backend= argument to the kernel at
boot time.

Date: May 2009
Contact: Martin K. Petersen <martin.petersen@oracle.com>
Description:
This is the smallest unit the storage device can
address. It is typically 512 bytes.
What: /sys/block/<disk>/queue/physical_block_size
Date: May 2009
Contact: Martin K. Petersen <martin.petersen@oracle.com>
Description:
This is the smallest unit a physical storage device can
write atomically. It is usually the same as the logical
block size but may be bigger. One example is SATA
drives with 4KB sectors that expose a 512-byte logical
block size to the operating system. For stacked block
devices the physical_block_size variable contains the
maximum physical_block_size of the component devices.
What: /sys/block/<disk>/queue/minimum_io_size
Date: April 2009
Contact: Martin K. Petersen <martin.petersen@oracle.com>
Description:
Storage devices may report a granularity or preferred
minimum I/O size which is the smallest request the
device can perform without incurring a performance
penalty. For disk drives this is often the physical
block size. For RAID arrays it is often the stripe
chunk size. A properly aligned multiple of
minimum_io_size is the preferred request size for
workloads where a high number of I/O operations is
desired.
What: /sys/block/<disk>/queue/optimal_io_size
Date: April 2009
Contact: Martin K. Petersen <martin.petersen@oracle.com>
Description:
Storage devices may report an optimal I/O size, which is
the device's preferred unit for sustained I/O. This is
rarely reported for disk drives. For RAID arrays it is
usually the stripe width or the internal track size. A
properly aligned multiple of optimal_io_size is the
preferred request size for workloads where sustained
throughput is desired. If no optimal I/O size is
reported this file contains 0.
What: /sys/block/<disk>/queue/nomerges
Date: January 2010
Contact:
Description:
Standard I/O elevator operations include attempts to
merge contiguous I/Os. For known random I/O loads these
attempts will always fail and result in extra cycles
being spent in the kernel. This allows one to turn off
this behavior on one of two ways: When set to 1, complex
merge checks are disabled, but the simple one-shot merges
with the previous I/O request are enabled. When set to 2,
all merge tries are disabled. The default value is 0 -
which enables all types of merge tries.
What: /sys/block/<disk>/discard_alignment
Date: May 2011
Contact: Martin K. Petersen <martin.petersen@oracle.com>
Description:
Devices that support discard functionality may
internally allocate space in units that are bigger than
the exported logical block size. The discard_alignment
parameter indicates how many bytes the beginning of the
device is offset from the internal allocation unit's
natural alignment.
What: /sys/block/<disk>/<partition>/discard_alignment
Date: May 2011
Contact: Martin K. Petersen <martin.petersen@oracle.com>
Description:
Devices that support discard functionality may
internally allocate space in units that are bigger than
the exported logical block size. The discard_alignment
parameter indicates how many bytes the beginning of the
partition is offset from the internal allocation unit's
natural alignment.
What: /sys/block/<disk>/queue/discard_granularity
Date: May 2011
Contact: Martin K. Petersen <martin.petersen@oracle.com>
Description:
Devices that support discard functionality may
internally allocate space using units that are bigger
than the logical block size. The discard_granularity
parameter indicates the size of the internal allocation
unit in bytes if reported by the device. Otherwise the
discard_granularity will be set to match the device's
physical block size. A discard_granularity of 0 means
that the device does not support discard functionality.
What: /sys/block/<disk>/queue/discard_max_bytes
Date: May 2011
Contact: Martin K. Petersen <martin.petersen@oracle.com>
Description:
Devices that support discard functionality may have
internal limits on the number of bytes that can be
trimmed or unmapped in a single operation. Some storage
protocols also have inherent limits on the number of
blocks that can be described in a single command. The
discard_max_bytes parameter is set by the device driver
to the maximum number of bytes that can be discarded in
a single operation. Discard requests issued to the
device must not exceed this limit. A discard_max_bytes
value of 0 means that the device does not support
discard functionality.
What: /sys/block/<disk>/queue/discard_zeroes_data
Date: May 2011
Contact: Martin K. Petersen <martin.petersen@oracle.com>
Description:
Devices that support discard functionality may return
stale or random data when a previously discarded block
is read back. This can cause problems if the filesystem
expects discarded blocks to be explicitly cleared. If a
device reports that it deterministically returns zeroes
when a discarded area is read the discard_zeroes_data
parameter will be set to one. Otherwise it will be 0 and
the result of reading a discarded area is undefined.
What: /sys/block/<disk>/queue/write_same_max_bytes
Date: January 2012
Contact: Martin K. Petersen <martin.petersen@oracle.com>
Description:
Some devices support a write same operation in which a
single data block can be written to a range of several
contiguous blocks on storage. This can be used to wipe
areas on disk or to initialize drives in a RAID
configuration. write_same_max_bytes indicates how many
bytes can be written in a single write same command. If
write_same_max_bytes is 0, write same is not supported
by the device.

Description: Per-pmu performance monitoring events specific to the running system
Each file (except for some of those with a '.' in them, '.unit'
and '.scale') in the 'events' directory describes a single
performance monitoring event supported by the <pmu>. The name
of the file is the name of the event.
File contents:

Where <term> is one of the terms listed under
/sys/bus/event_source/devices/<pmu>/format/ and <value> is
a number is base-16 format with a '0x' prefix (lowercase only).
If a <term> is specified alone (without an assigned value), it
is implied that 0x1 is assigned to that <term>.
Examples (each of these lines would be in a seperate file):
event=0x2abc
event=0x423,inv,cmask=0x3
domain=0x1,offset=0x8,starting_index=0xffff
Each of the assignments indicates a value to be assigned to a

What: /sys/bus/fcoe/
Date: August 2012
KernelVersion: TBD
Contact: Robert Love <robert.w.love@intel.com>, devel@open-fcoe.org
Description: The FCoE bus. Attributes in this directory are control interfaces.
Attributes:
ctlr_create: 'FCoE Controller' instance creation interface. Writing an
<ifname> to this file will allocate and populate sysfs with a
fcoe_ctlr_device (ctlr_X). The user can then configure any
per-port settings and finally write to the fcoe_ctlr_device's
'start' attribute to begin the kernel's discovery and login
process.
ctlr_destroy: 'FCoE Controller' instance removal interface. Writing a
fcoe_ctlr_device's sysfs name to this file will log the
fcoe_ctlr_device out of the fabric or otherwise connected
FCoE devices. It will also free all kernel memory allocated
for this fcoe_ctlr_device and any structures associated
with it, this includes the scsi_host.
What: /sys/bus/fcoe/devices/ctlr_X
Date: March 2012
KernelVersion: TBD
Contact: Robert Love <robert.w.love@intel.com>, devel@open-fcoe.org
Description: 'FCoE Controller' instances on the fcoe bus.
The FCoE Controller now has a three stage creation process.
1) Write interface name to ctlr_create 2) Configure the FCoE
Controller (ctlr_X) 3) Enable the FCoE Controller to begin
discovery and login. The FCoE Controller is destroyed by
writing it's name, i.e. ctlr_X to the ctlr_delete file.
Attributes:
fcf_dev_loss_tmo: Device loss timeout peroid (see below). Changing
this value will change the dev_loss_tmo for all
FCFs discovered by this controller.
mode: Display or change the FCoE Controller's mode. Possible
modes are 'Fabric' and 'VN2VN'. If a FCoE Controller
is started in 'Fabric' mode then FIP FCF discovery is
initiated and ultimately a fabric login is attempted.
If a FCoE Controller is started in 'VN2VN' mode then
FIP VN2VN discovery and login is performed. A FCoE
Controller only supports one mode at a time.
enabled: Whether an FCoE controller is enabled or disabled.
0 if disabled, 1 if enabled. Writing either 0 or 1
to this file will enable or disable the FCoE controller.
lesb/link_fail: Link Error Status Block (LESB) link failure count.
lesb/vlink_fail: Link Error Status Block (LESB) virtual link
failure count.
lesb/miss_fka: Link Error Status Block (LESB) missed FCoE
Initialization Protocol (FIP) Keep-Alives (FKA).
lesb/symb_err: Link Error Status Block (LESB) symbolic error count.
lesb/err_block: Link Error Status Block (LESB) block error count.
lesb/fcs_error: Link Error Status Block (LESB) Fibre Channel
Serivces error count.
Notes: ctlr_X (global increment starting at 0)
What: /sys/bus/fcoe/devices/fcf_X
Date: March 2012
KernelVersion: TBD
Contact: Robert Love <robert.w.love@intel.com>, devel@open-fcoe.org
Description: 'FCoE FCF' instances on the fcoe bus. A FCF is a Fibre Channel
Forwarder, which is a FCoE switch that can accept FCoE
(Ethernet) packets, unpack them, and forward the embedded
Fibre Channel frames into a FC fabric. It can also take
outbound FC frames and pack them in Ethernet packets to
be sent to their destination on the Ethernet segment.
Attributes:
fabric_name: Identifies the fabric that the FCF services.
switch_name: Identifies the FCF.
priority: The switch's priority amongst other FCFs on the same
fabric.
selected: 1 indicates that the switch has been selected for use;
0 indicates that the swich will not be used.
fc_map: The Fibre Channel MAP
vfid: The Virtual Fabric ID
mac: The FCF's MAC address
fka_peroid: The FIP Keep-Alive peroid
fabric_state: The internal kernel state
"Unknown" - Initialization value
"Disconnected" - No link to the FCF/fabric
"Connected" - Host is connected to the FCF
"Deleted" - FCF is being removed from the system
dev_loss_tmo: The device loss timeout peroid for this FCF.
Notes: A device loss infrastructre similar to the FC Transport's
is present in fcoe_sysfs. It is nice to have so that a
link flapping adapter doesn't continually advance the count
used to identify the discovered FCF. FCFs will exist in a
"Disconnected" state until either the timer expires and the
FCF becomes "Deleted" or the FCF is rediscovered and becomes
"Connected."
Users: The first user of this interface will be the fcoeadm application,
which is commonly packaged in the fcoe-utils package.
