+APM or ACPI?
+------------
+If you have a relatively recent x86 mobile, desktop, or server system,
+odds are it supports either Advanced Power Management (APM) or
+Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI).  ACPI is the newer
+of the two technologies and puts power management in the hands of the
+operating system, allowing for more intelligent power management than
+is possible with BIOS controlled APM.
+
+The best way to determine which, if either, your system supports is to
+build a kernel with both ACPI and APM enabled (as of 2.3.x ACPI is
+enabled by default).  If a working ACPI implementation is found, the
+ACPI driver will override and disable APM, otherwise the APM driver
+will be used.
+
+No, sorry, you cannot have both ACPI and APM enabled and running at
+once.  Some people with broken ACPI or broken APM implementations
+would like to use both to get a full set of working features, but you
+simply cannot mix and match the two.  Only one power management
+interface can be in control of the machine at once.  Think about it..
+
+User-space Daemons
+------------------
+Both APM and ACPI rely on user-space daemons, apmd and acpid
+respectively, to be completely functional.  Obtain both of these
+daemons from your Linux distribution or from the Internet (see below)
+and be sure that they are started sometime in the system boot process.
+Go ahead and start both.  If ACPI or APM is not available on your
+system the associated daemon will exit gracefully.

+Debugging hibernation and suspend
+	(C) 2007 Rafael J. Wysocki <rjw@sisk.pl>, GPL
+
+1. Testing hibernation (aka suspend to disk or STD)
+
+To check if hibernation works, you can try to hibernate in the "reboot" mode:
+
+# echo reboot > /sys/power/disk
+# echo disk > /sys/power/state
+
+and the system should create a hibernation image, reboot, resume and get back to
+the command prompt where you have started the transition.  If that happens,
+hibernation is most likely to work correctly.  Still, you need to repeat the
+test at least a couple of times in a row for confidence.  [This is necessary,
+because some problems only show up on a second attempt at suspending and
+resuming the system.]  Moreover, hibernating in the "reboot" and "shutdown"
+modes causes the PM core to skip some platform-related callbacks which on ACPI
+systems might be necessary to make hibernation work.  Thus, if your machine fails
+to hibernate or resume in the "reboot" mode, you should try the "platform" mode:
+
+# echo platform > /sys/power/disk
+# echo disk > /sys/power/state
+
+which is the default and recommended mode of hibernation.
+
+Unfortunately, the "platform" mode of hibernation does not work on some systems
+with broken BIOSes.  In such cases the "shutdown" mode of hibernation might
+work:
+
+# echo shutdown > /sys/power/disk
+# echo disk > /sys/power/state
+
+(it is similar to the "reboot" mode, but it requires you to press the power
+button to make the system resume).
+
+If neither "platform" nor "shutdown" hibernation mode works, you will need to
+identify what goes wrong.
+
+a) Test modes of hibernation
+
+To find out why hibernation fails on your system, you can use a special testing
+facility available if the kernel is compiled with CONFIG_PM_DEBUG set.  Then,
+there is the file /sys/power/pm_test that can be used to make the hibernation
+core run in a test mode.  There are 5 test modes available:
+
+freezer
+- test the freezing of processes
+
+devices
+- test the freezing of processes and suspending of devices
+
+platform
+- test the freezing of processes, suspending of devices and platform
+  global control methods(*)
+
+processors
+- test the freezing of processes, suspending of devices, platform
+  global control methods(*) and the disabling of nonboot CPUs
+
+core
+- test the freezing of processes, suspending of devices, platform global
+  control methods(*), the disabling of nonboot CPUs and suspending of
+  platform/system devices
+
+(*) the platform global control methods are only available on ACPI systems
+    and are only tested if the hibernation mode is set to "platform"
+
+To use one of them it is necessary to write the corresponding string to
+/sys/power/pm_test (eg. "devices" to test the freezing of processes and
+suspending devices) and issue the standard hibernation commands.  For example,
+to use the "devices" test mode along with the "platform" mode of hibernation,
+you should do the following:
+
+# echo devices > /sys/power/pm_test
+# echo platform > /sys/power/disk
+# echo disk > /sys/power/state
+
+Then, the kernel will try to freeze processes, suspend devices, wait a few
+seconds (5 by default, but configurable by the suspend.pm_test_delay module
+parameter), resume devices and thaw processes.  If "platform" is written to
+/sys/power/pm_test , then after suspending devices the kernel will additionally
+invoke the global control methods (eg. ACPI global control methods) used to
+prepare the platform firmware for hibernation.  Next, it will wait a
+configurable number of seconds and invoke the platform (eg. ACPI) global
+methods used to cancel hibernation etc.
+
+Writing "none" to /sys/power/pm_test causes the kernel to switch to the normal
+hibernation/suspend operations.  Also, when open for reading, /sys/power/pm_test
+contains a space-separated list of all available tests (including "none" that
+represents the normal functionality) in which the current test level is
+indicated by square brackets.
+
+Generally, as you can see, each test level is more "invasive" than the previous
+one and the "core" level tests the hardware and drivers as deeply as possible
+without creating a hibernation image.  Obviously, if the "devices" test fails,
+the "platform" test will fail as well and so on.  Thus, as a rule of thumb, you
+should try the test modes starting from "freezer", through "devices", "platform"
+and "processors" up to "core" (repeat the test on each level a couple of times
+to make sure that any random factors are avoided).
+
+If the "freezer" test fails, there is a task that cannot be frozen (in that case
+it usually is possible to identify the offending task by analysing the output of
+dmesg obtained after the failing test).  Failure at this level usually means
+that there is a problem with the tasks freezer subsystem that should be
+reported.
+
+If the "devices" test fails, most likely there is a driver that cannot suspend
+or resume its device (in the latter case the system may hang or become unstable
+after the test, so please take that into consideration).  To find this driver,
+you can carry out a binary search according to the rules:
+- if the test fails, unload a half of the drivers currently loaded and repeat
+(that would probably involve rebooting the system, so always note what drivers
+have been loaded before the test),
+- if the test succeeds, load a half of the drivers you have unloaded most
+recently and repeat.
+
+Once you have found the failing driver (there can be more than just one of
+them), you have to unload it every time before hibernation.  In that case please
+make sure to report the problem with the driver.
+
+It is also possible that the "devices" test will still fail after you have
+unloaded all modules. In that case, you may want to look in your kernel
+configuration for the drivers that can be compiled as modules (and test again
+with these drivers compiled as modules).  You may also try to use some special
+kernel command line options such as "noapic", "noacpi" or even "acpi=off".
+
+If the "platform" test fails, there is a problem with the handling of the
+platform (eg. ACPI) firmware on your system.  In that case the "platform" mode
+of hibernation is not likely to work.  You can try the "shutdown" mode, but that
+is rather a poor man's workaround.
+
+If the "processors" test fails, the disabling/enabling of nonboot CPUs does not
+work (of course, this only may be an issue on SMP systems) and the problem
+should be reported.  In that case you can also try to switch the nonboot CPUs
+off and on using the /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu*/online sysfs attributes and
+see if that works.
+
+If the "core" test fails, which means that suspending of the system/platform
+devices has failed (these devices are suspended on one CPU with interrupts off),
+the problem is most probably hardware-related and serious, so it should be
+reported.
+
+A failure of any of the "platform", "processors" or "core" tests may cause your
+system to hang or become unstable, so please beware.  Such a failure usually
+indicates a serious problem that very well may be related to the hardware, but
+please report it anyway.
+
+b) Testing minimal configuration
+
+If all of the hibernation test modes work, you can boot the system with the
+"init=/bin/bash" command line parameter and attempt to hibernate in the
+"reboot", "shutdown" and "platform" modes.  If that does not work, there
+probably is a problem with a driver statically compiled into the kernel and you
+can try to compile more drivers as modules, so that they can be tested
+individually.  Otherwise, there is a problem with a modular driver and you can
+find it by loading a half of the modules you normally use and binary searching
+in accordance with the algorithm:
+- if there are n modules loaded and the attempt to suspend and resume fails,
+unload n/2 of the modules and try again (that would probably involve rebooting
+the system),
+- if there are n modules loaded and the attempt to suspend and resume succeeds,
+load n/2 modules more and try again.
+
+Again, if you find the offending module(s), it(they) must be unloaded every time
+before hibernation, and please report the problem with it(them).
+
+c) Using the "test_resume" hibernation option
+
+/sys/power/disk generally tells the kernel what to do after creating a
+hibernation image.  One of the available options is "test_resume" which
+causes the just created image to be used for immediate restoration.  Namely,
+after doing:
+
+# echo test_resume > /sys/power/disk
+# echo disk > /sys/power/state
+
+a hibernation image will be created and a resume from it will be triggered
+immediately without involving the platform firmware in any way.
+
+That test can be used to check if failures to resume from hibernation are
+related to bad interactions with the platform firmware.  That is, if the above
+works every time, but resume from actual hibernation does not work or is
+unreliable, the platform firmware may be responsible for the failures.
+
+On architectures and platforms that support using different kernels to restore
+hibernation images (that is, the kernel used to read the image from storage and
+load it into memory is different from the one included in the image) or support
+kernel address space randomization, it also can be used to check if failures
+to resume may be related to the differences between the restore and image
+kernels.
+
+d) Advanced debugging
+
+In case that hibernation does not work on your system even in the minimal
+configuration and compiling more drivers as modules is not practical or some
+modules cannot be unloaded, you can use one of the more advanced debugging
+techniques to find the problem.  First, if there is a serial port in your box,
+you can boot the kernel with the 'no_console_suspend' parameter and try to log
+kernel messages using the serial console.  This may provide you with some
+information about the reasons of the suspend (resume) failure.  Alternatively,
+it may be possible to use a FireWire port for debugging with firescope
+(http://v3.sk/~lkundrak/firescope/).  On x86 it is also possible to
+use the PM_TRACE mechanism documented in Documentation/power/s2ram.txt .
+
+2. Testing suspend to RAM (STR)
+
+To verify that the STR works, it is generally more convenient to use the s2ram
+tool available from http://suspend.sf.net and documented at
+http://en.opensuse.org/SDB:Suspend_to_RAM (S2RAM_LINK).
+
+Namely, after writing "freezer", "devices", "platform", "processors", or "core"
+into /sys/power/pm_test (available if the kernel is compiled with
+CONFIG_PM_DEBUG set) the suspend code will work in the test mode corresponding
+to given string.  The STR test modes are defined in the same way as for
+hibernation, so please refer to Section 1 for more information about them.  In
+particular, the "core" test allows you to test everything except for the actual
+invocation of the platform firmware in order to put the system into the sleep
+state.
+
+Among other things, the testing with the help of /sys/power/pm_test may allow
+you to identify drivers that fail to suspend or resume their devices.  They
+should be unloaded every time before an STR transition.
+
+Next, you can follow the instructions at S2RAM_LINK to test the system, but if
+it does not work "out of the box", you may need to boot it with
+"init=/bin/bash" and test s2ram in the minimal configuration.  In that case,
+you may be able to search for failing drivers by following the procedure
+analogous to the one described in section 1.  If you find some failing drivers,
+you will have to unload them every time before an STR transition (ie. before
+you run s2ram), and please report the problems with them.
+
+There is a debugfs entry which shows the suspend to RAM statistics. Here is an
+example of its output.
+	# mount -t debugfs none /sys/kernel/debug
+	# cat /sys/kernel/debug/suspend_stats
+	success: 20
+	fail: 5
+	failed_freeze: 0
+	failed_prepare: 0
+	failed_suspend: 5
+	failed_suspend_noirq: 0
+	failed_resume: 0
+	failed_resume_noirq: 0
+	failures:
+	  last_failed_dev:	alarm
+				adc
+	  last_failed_errno:	-16
+				-16
+	  last_failed_step:	suspend
+				suspend
+Field success means the success number of suspend to RAM, and field fail means
+the failure number. Others are the failure number of different steps of suspend
+to RAM. suspend_stats just lists the last 2 failed devices, error number and
+failed step of suspend.

+Charger Manager
+	(C) 2011 MyungJoo Ham <myungjoo.ham@samsung.com>, GPL
+
+Charger Manager provides in-kernel battery charger management that
+requires temperature monitoring during suspend-to-RAM state
+and where each battery may have multiple chargers attached and the userland
+wants to look at the aggregated information of the multiple chargers.
+
+Charger Manager is a platform_driver with power-supply-class entries.
+An instance of Charger Manager (a platform-device created with Charger-Manager)
+represents an independent battery with chargers. If there are multiple
+batteries with their own chargers acting independently in a system,
+the system may need multiple instances of Charger Manager.
+
+1. Introduction
+===============
+
+Charger Manager supports the following:
+
+* Support for multiple chargers (e.g., a device with USB, AC, and solar panels)
+	A system may have multiple chargers (or power sources) and some of
+	they may be activated at the same time. Each charger may have its
+	own power-supply-class and each power-supply-class can provide
+	different information about the battery status. This framework
+	aggregates charger-related information from multiple sources and
+	shows combined information as a single power-supply-class.
+
+* Support for in suspend-to-RAM polling (with suspend_again callback)
+	While the battery is being charged and the system is in suspend-to-RAM,
+	we may need to monitor the battery health by looking at the ambient or
+	battery temperature. We can accomplish this by waking up the system
+	periodically. However, such a method wakes up devices unnecessarily for
+	monitoring the battery health and tasks, and user processes that are
+	supposed to be kept suspended. That, in turn, incurs unnecessary power
+	consumption and slow down charging process. Or even, such peak power
+	consumption can stop chargers in the middle of charging
+	(external power input < device power consumption), which not
+	only affects the charging time, but the lifespan of the battery.
+
+	Charger Manager provides a function "cm_suspend_again" that can be
+	used as suspend_again callback of platform_suspend_ops. If the platform
+	requires tasks other than cm_suspend_again, it may implement its own
+	suspend_again callback that calls cm_suspend_again in the middle.
+	Normally, the platform will need to resume and suspend some devices
+	that are used by Charger Manager.
+
+* Support for premature full-battery event handling
+	If the battery voltage drops by "fullbatt_vchkdrop_uV" after
+	"fullbatt_vchkdrop_ms" from the full-battery event, the framework
+	restarts charging. This check is also performed while suspended by
+	setting wakeup time accordingly and using suspend_again.
+
+* Support for uevent-notify
+	With the charger-related events, the device sends
+	notification to users with UEVENT.
+
+2. Global Charger-Manager Data related with suspend_again
+========================================================
+In order to setup Charger Manager with suspend-again feature
+(in-suspend monitoring), the user should provide charger_global_desc
+with setup_charger_manager(struct charger_global_desc *).
+This charger_global_desc data for in-suspend monitoring is global
+as the name suggests. Thus, the user needs to provide only once even
+if there are multiple batteries. If there are multiple batteries, the
+multiple instances of Charger Manager share the same charger_global_desc
+and it will manage in-suspend monitoring for all instances of Charger Manager.
+
+The user needs to provide all the three entries properly in order to activate
+in-suspend monitoring:
+
+struct charger_global_desc {
+
+char *rtc_name;
+	: The name of rtc (e.g., "rtc0") used to wakeup the system from
+	suspend for Charger Manager. The alarm interrupt (AIE) of the rtc
+	should be able to wake up the system from suspend. Charger Manager
+	saves and restores the alarm value and use the previously-defined
+	alarm if it is going to go off earlier than Charger Manager so that
+	Charger Manager does not interfere with previously-defined alarms.
+
+bool (*rtc_only_wakeup)(void);
+	: This callback should let CM know whether
+	the wakeup-from-suspend is caused only by the alarm of "rtc" in the
+	same struct. If there is any other wakeup source triggered the
+	wakeup, it should return false. If the "rtc" is the only wakeup
+	reason, it should return true.
+
+bool assume_timer_stops_in_suspend;
+	: if true, Charger Manager assumes that
+	the timer (CM uses jiffies as timer) stops during suspend. Then, CM
+	assumes that the suspend-duration is same as the alarm length.
+};
+
+3. How to setup suspend_again
+=============================
+Charger Manager provides a function "extern bool cm_suspend_again(void)".
+When cm_suspend_again is called, it monitors every battery. The suspend_ops
+callback of the system's platform_suspend_ops can call cm_suspend_again
+function to know whether Charger Manager wants to suspend again or not.
+If there are no other devices or tasks that want to use suspend_again
+feature, the platform_suspend_ops may directly refer to cm_suspend_again
+for its suspend_again callback.
+
+The cm_suspend_again() returns true (meaning "I want to suspend again")
+if the system was woken up by Charger Manager and the polling
+(in-suspend monitoring) results in "normal".
+
+4. Charger-Manager Data (struct charger_desc)
+=============================================
+For each battery charged independently from other batteries (if a series of
+batteries are charged by a single charger, they are counted as one independent
+battery), an instance of Charger Manager is attached to it.
+
+struct charger_desc {
+
+char *psy_name;
+	: The power-supply-class name of the battery. Default is
+	"battery" if psy_name is NULL. Users can access the psy entries
+	at "/sys/class/power_supply/[psy_name]/".
+
+enum polling_modes polling_mode;
+	: CM_POLL_DISABLE: do not poll this battery.
+	  CM_POLL_ALWAYS: always poll this battery.
+	  CM_POLL_EXTERNAL_POWER_ONLY: poll this battery if and only if
+				       an external power source is attached.
+	  CM_POLL_CHARGING_ONLY: poll this battery if and only if the
+				 battery is being charged.
+
+unsigned int fullbatt_vchkdrop_ms;
+unsigned int fullbatt_vchkdrop_uV;
+	: If both have non-zero values, Charger Manager will check the
+	battery voltage drop fullbatt_vchkdrop_ms after the battery is fully
+	charged. If the voltage drop is over fullbatt_vchkdrop_uV, Charger
+	Manager will try to recharge the battery by disabling and enabling
+	chargers. Recharge with voltage drop condition only (without delay
+	condition) is needed to be implemented with hardware interrupts from
+	fuel gauges or charger devices/chips.
+
+unsigned int fullbatt_uV;
+	: If specified with a non-zero value, Charger Manager assumes
+	that the battery is full (capacity = 100) if the battery is not being
+	charged and the battery voltage is equal to or greater than
+	fullbatt_uV.
+
+unsigned int polling_interval_ms;
+	: Required polling interval in ms. Charger Manager will poll
+	this battery every polling_interval_ms or more frequently.
+
+enum data_source battery_present;
+	: CM_BATTERY_PRESENT: assume that the battery exists.
+	CM_NO_BATTERY: assume that the battery does not exists.
+	CM_FUEL_GAUGE: get battery presence information from fuel gauge.
+	CM_CHARGER_STAT: get battery presence from chargers.
+
+char **psy_charger_stat;
+	: An array ending with NULL that has power-supply-class names of
+	chargers. Each power-supply-class should provide "PRESENT" (if
+	battery_present is "CM_CHARGER_STAT"), "ONLINE" (shows whether an
+	external power source is attached or not), and "STATUS" (shows whether
+	the battery is {"FULL" or not FULL} or {"FULL", "Charging",
+	"Discharging", "NotCharging"}).
+
+int num_charger_regulators;
+struct regulator_bulk_data *charger_regulators;
+	: Regulators representing the chargers in the form for
+	regulator framework's bulk functions.
+
+char *psy_fuel_gauge;
+	: Power-supply-class name of the fuel gauge.
+
+int (*temperature_out_of_range)(int *mC);
+bool measure_battery_temp;
+	: This callback returns 0 if the temperature is safe for charging,
+	a positive number if it is too hot to charge, and a negative number
+	if it is too cold to charge. With the variable mC, the callback returns
+	the temperature in 1/1000 of centigrade.
+	The source of temperature can be battery or ambient one according to
+	the value of measure_battery_temp.
+};
+
+5. Notify Charger-Manager of charger events: cm_notify_event()
+=========================================================
+If there is an charger event is required to notify
+Charger Manager, a charger device driver that triggers the event can call
+cm_notify_event(psy, type, msg) to notify the corresponding Charger Manager.
+In the function, psy is the charger driver's power_supply pointer, which is
+associated with Charger-Manager. The parameter "type"
+is the same as irq's type (enum cm_event_types). The event message "msg" is
+optional and is effective only if the event type is "UNDESCRIBED" or "OTHERS".
+
+6. Other Considerations
+=======================
+
+At the charger/battery-related events such as battery-pulled-out,
+charger-pulled-out, charger-inserted, DCIN-over/under-voltage, charger-stopped,
+and others critical to chargers, the system should be configured to wake up.
+At least the following should wake up the system from a suspend:
+a) charger-on/off b) external-power-in/out c) battery-in/out (while charging)
+
+It is usually accomplished by configuring the PMIC as a wakeup source.

+Testing suspend and resume support in device drivers
+	(C) 2007 Rafael J. Wysocki <rjw@sisk.pl>, GPL
+
+1. Preparing the test system
+
+Unfortunately, to effectively test the support for the system-wide suspend and
+resume transitions in a driver, it is necessary to suspend and resume a fully
+functional system with this driver loaded.  Moreover, that should be done
+several times, preferably several times in a row, and separately for hibernation
+(aka suspend to disk or STD) and suspend to RAM (STR), because each of these
+cases involves slightly different operations and different interactions with
+the machine's BIOS.
+
+Of course, for this purpose the test system has to be known to suspend and
+resume without the driver being tested.  Thus, if possible, you should first
+resolve all suspend/resume-related problems in the test system before you start
+testing the new driver.  Please see Documentation/power/basic-pm-debugging.txt
+for more information about the debugging of suspend/resume functionality.
+
+2. Testing the driver
+
+Once you have resolved the suspend/resume-related problems with your test system
+without the new driver, you are ready to test it:
+
+a) Build the driver as a module, load it and try the test modes of hibernation
+   (see: Documentation/power/basic-pm-debugging.txt, 1).
+
+b) Load the driver and attempt to hibernate in the "reboot", "shutdown" and
+   "platform" modes (see: Documentation/power/basic-pm-debugging.txt, 1).
+
+c) Compile the driver directly into the kernel and try the test modes of
+   hibernation.

+Freezing of tasks
+	(C) 2007 Rafael J. Wysocki <rjw@sisk.pl>, GPL
+
+I. What is the freezing of tasks?
+
+The freezing of tasks is a mechanism by which user space processes and some
+kernel threads are controlled during hibernation or system-wide suspend (on some
+architectures).
+
+II. How does it work?
+
+There are three per-task flags used for that, PF_NOFREEZE, PF_FROZEN
+and PF_FREEZER_SKIP (the last one is auxiliary).  The tasks that have
+PF_NOFREEZE unset (all user space processes and some kernel threads) are
+regarded as 'freezable' and treated in a special way before the system enters a
+suspend state as well as before a hibernation image is created (in what follows
+we only consider hibernation, but the description also applies to suspend).
+
+Namely, as the first step of the hibernation procedure the function
+freeze_processes() (defined in kernel/power/process.c) is called.  A system-wide
+variable system_freezing_cnt (as opposed to a per-task flag) is used to indicate
+whether the system is to undergo a freezing operation. And freeze_processes()
+sets this variable.  After this, it executes try_to_freeze_tasks() that sends a
+fake signal to all user space processes, and wakes up all the kernel threads.
+All freezable tasks must react to that by calling try_to_freeze(), which
+results in a call to __refrigerator() (defined in kernel/freezer.c), which sets
+the task's PF_FROZEN flag, changes its state to TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE and makes
+it loop until PF_FROZEN is cleared for it. Then, we say that the task is
+'frozen' and therefore the set of functions handling this mechanism is referred
+to as 'the freezer' (these functions are defined in kernel/power/process.c,
+kernel/freezer.c & include/linux/freezer.h). User space processes are generally
+frozen before kernel threads.
+
+__refrigerator() must not be called directly.  Instead, use the
+try_to_freeze() function (defined in include/linux/freezer.h), that checks
+if the task is to be frozen and makes the task enter __refrigerator().
+
+For user space processes try_to_freeze() is called automatically from the
+signal-handling code, but the freezable kernel threads need to call it
+explicitly in suitable places or use the wait_event_freezable() or
+wait_event_freezable_timeout() macros (defined in include/linux/freezer.h)
+that combine interruptible sleep with checking if the task is to be frozen and
+calling try_to_freeze().  The main loop of a freezable kernel thread may look
+like the following one:
+
+	set_freezable();
+	do {
+		hub_events();
+		wait_event_freezable(khubd_wait,
+				!list_empty(&hub_event_list) ||
+				kthread_should_stop());
+	} while (!kthread_should_stop() || !list_empty(&hub_event_list));
+
+(from drivers/usb/core/hub.c::hub_thread()).
+
+If a freezable kernel thread fails to call try_to_freeze() after the freezer has
+initiated a freezing operation, the freezing of tasks will fail and the entire
+hibernation operation will be cancelled.  For this reason, freezable kernel
+threads must call try_to_freeze() somewhere or use one of the
+wait_event_freezable() and wait_event_freezable_timeout() macros.
+
+After the system memory state has been restored from a hibernation image and
+devices have been reinitialized, the function thaw_processes() is called in
+order to clear the PF_FROZEN flag for each frozen task.  Then, the tasks that
+have been frozen leave __refrigerator() and continue running.
+
+
+Rationale behind the functions dealing with freezing and thawing of tasks:
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+freeze_processes():
+  - freezes only userspace tasks
+
+freeze_kernel_threads():
+  - freezes all tasks (including kernel threads) because we can't freeze
+    kernel threads without freezing userspace tasks
+
+thaw_kernel_threads():
+  - thaws only kernel threads; this is particularly useful if we need to do
+    anything special in between thawing of kernel threads and thawing of
+    userspace tasks, or if we want to postpone the thawing of userspace tasks
+
+thaw_processes():
+  - thaws all tasks (including kernel threads) because we can't thaw userspace
+    tasks without thawing kernel threads
+
+
+III. Which kernel threads are freezable?
+
+Kernel threads are not freezable by default.  However, a kernel thread may clear
+PF_NOFREEZE for itself by calling set_freezable() (the resetting of PF_NOFREEZE
+directly is not allowed).  From this point it is regarded as freezable
+and must call try_to_freeze() in a suitable place.
+
+IV. Why do we do that?
+
+Generally speaking, there is a couple of reasons to use the freezing of tasks:
+
+1. The principal reason is to prevent filesystems from being damaged after
+hibernation.  At the moment we have no simple means of checkpointing
+filesystems, so if there are any modifications made to filesystem data and/or
+metadata on disks, we cannot bring them back to the state from before the
+modifications.  At the same time each hibernation image contains some
+filesystem-related information that must be consistent with the state of the
+on-disk data and metadata after the system memory state has been restored from
+the image (otherwise the filesystems will be damaged in a nasty way, usually
+making them almost impossible to repair).  We therefore freeze tasks that might
+cause the on-disk filesystems' data and metadata to be modified after the
+hibernation image has been created and before the system is finally powered off.
+The majority of these are user space processes, but if any of the kernel threads
+may cause something like this to happen, they have to be freezable.
+
+2. Next, to create the hibernation image we need to free a sufficient amount of
+memory (approximately 50% of available RAM) and we need to do that before
+devices are deactivated, because we generally need them for swapping out.  Then,
+after the memory for the image has been freed, we don't want tasks to allocate
+additional memory and we prevent them from doing that by freezing them earlier.
+[Of course, this also means that device drivers should not allocate substantial
+amounts of memory from their .suspend() callbacks before hibernation, but this
+is a separate issue.]
+
+3. The third reason is to prevent user space processes and some kernel threads
+from interfering with the suspending and resuming of devices.  A user space
+process running on a second CPU while we are suspending devices may, for
+example, be troublesome and without the freezing of tasks we would need some
+safeguards against race conditions that might occur in such a case.
+
+Although Linus Torvalds doesn't like the freezing of tasks, he said this in one
+of the discussions on LKML (http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/4/27/608):
+
+"RJW:> Why we freeze tasks at all or why we freeze kernel threads?
+
+Linus: In many ways, 'at all'.
+
+I _do_ realize the IO request queue issues, and that we cannot actually do
+s2ram with some devices in the middle of a DMA.  So we want to be able to
+avoid *that*, there's no question about that.  And I suspect that stopping
+user threads and then waiting for a sync is practically one of the easier
+ways to do so.
+
+So in practice, the 'at all' may become a 'why freeze kernel threads?' and
+freezing user threads I don't find really objectionable."
+
+Still, there are kernel threads that may want to be freezable.  For example, if
+a kernel thread that belongs to a device driver accesses the device directly, it
+in principle needs to know when the device is suspended, so that it doesn't try
+to access it at that time.  However, if the kernel thread is freezable, it will
+be frozen before the driver's .suspend() callback is executed and it will be
+thawed after the driver's .resume() callback has run, so it won't be accessing
+the device while it's suspended.
+
+4. Another reason for freezing tasks is to prevent user space processes from
+realizing that hibernation (or suspend) operation takes place.  Ideally, user
+space processes should not notice that such a system-wide operation has occurred
+and should continue running without any problems after the restore (or resume
+from suspend).  Unfortunately, in the most general case this is quite difficult
+to achieve without the freezing of tasks.  Consider, for example, a process
+that depends on all CPUs being online while it's running.  Since we need to
+disable nonboot CPUs during the hibernation, if this process is not frozen, it
+may notice that the number of CPUs has changed and may start to work incorrectly
+because of that.
+
+V. Are there any problems related to the freezing of tasks?
+
+Yes, there are.
+
+First of all, the freezing of kernel threads may be tricky if they depend one
+on another.  For example, if kernel thread A waits for a completion (in the
+TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE state) that needs to be done by freezable kernel thread B
+and B is frozen in the meantime, then A will be blocked until B is thawed, which
+may be undesirable.  That's why kernel threads are not freezable by default.
+
+Second, there are the following two problems related to the freezing of user
+space processes:
+1. Putting processes into an uninterruptible sleep distorts the load average.
+2. Now that we have FUSE, plus the framework for doing device drivers in
+userspace, it gets even more complicated because some userspace processes are
+now doing the sorts of things that kernel threads do
+(https://lists.linux-foundation.org/pipermail/linux-pm/2007-May/012309.html).
+
+The problem 1. seems to be fixable, although it hasn't been fixed so far.  The
+other one is more serious, but it seems that we can work around it by using
+hibernation (and suspend) notifiers (in that case, though, we won't be able to
+avoid the realization by the user space processes that the hibernation is taking
+place).
+
+There are also problems that the freezing of tasks tends to expose, although
+they are not directly related to it.  For example, if request_firmware() is
+called from a device driver's .resume() routine, it will timeout and eventually
+fail, because the user land process that should respond to the request is frozen
+at this point.  So, seemingly, the failure is due to the freezing of tasks.
+Suppose, however, that the firmware file is located on a filesystem accessible
+only through another device that hasn't been resumed yet.  In that case,
+request_firmware() will fail regardless of whether or not the freezing of tasks
+is used.  Consequently, the problem is not really related to the freezing of
+tasks, since it generally exists anyway.
+
+A driver must have all firmwares it may need in RAM before suspend() is called.
+If keeping them is not practical, for example due to their size, they must be
+requested early enough using the suspend notifier API described in
+Documentation/driver-api/pm/notifiers.rst.
+
+VI. Are there any precautions to be taken to prevent freezing failures?
+
+Yes, there are.
+
+First of all, grabbing the 'system_transition_mutex' lock to mutually exclude a piece of code
+from system-wide sleep such as suspend/hibernation is not encouraged.
+If possible, that piece of code must instead hook onto the suspend/hibernation
+notifiers to achieve mutual exclusion. Look at the CPU-Hotplug code
+(kernel/cpu.c) for an example.
+
+However, if that is not feasible, and grabbing 'system_transition_mutex' is deemed necessary,
+it is strongly discouraged to directly call mutex_[un]lock(&system_transition_mutex) since
+that could lead to freezing failures, because if the suspend/hibernate code
+successfully acquired the 'system_transition_mutex' lock, and hence that other entity failed
+to acquire the lock, then that task would get blocked in TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE
+state. As a consequence, the freezer would not be able to freeze that task,
+leading to freezing failure.
+
+However, the [un]lock_system_sleep() APIs are safe to use in this scenario,
+since they ask the freezer to skip freezing this task, since it is anyway
+"frozen enough" as it is blocked on 'system_transition_mutex', which will be released
+only after the entire suspend/hibernation sequence is complete.
+So, to summarize, use [un]lock_system_sleep() instead of directly using
+mutex_[un]lock(&system_transition_mutex). That would prevent freezing failures.
+
+V. Miscellaneous
+/sys/power/pm_freeze_timeout controls how long it will cost at most to freeze
+all user space processes or all freezable kernel threads, in unit of millisecond.
+The default value is 20000, with range of unsigned integer.

+Power Management Interface for System Sleep
+
+Copyright (c) 2016 Intel Corp., Rafael J. Wysocki <rafael.j.wysocki@intel.com>
+
+The power management subsystem provides userspace with a unified sysfs interface
+for system sleep regardless of the underlying system architecture or platform.
+The interface is located in the /sys/power/ directory (assuming that sysfs is
+mounted at /sys).
+
+/sys/power/state is the system sleep state control file.
+
+Reading from it returns a list of supported sleep states, encoded as:
+
+'freeze' (Suspend-to-Idle)
+'standby' (Power-On Suspend)
+'mem' (Suspend-to-RAM)
+'disk' (Suspend-to-Disk)
+
+Suspend-to-Idle is always supported.  Suspend-to-Disk is always supported
+too as long the kernel has been configured to support hibernation at all
+(ie. CONFIG_HIBERNATION is set in the kernel configuration file).  Support
+for Suspend-to-RAM and Power-On Suspend depends on the capabilities of the
+platform.
+
+If one of the strings listed in /sys/power/state is written to it, the system
+will attempt to transition into the corresponding sleep state.  Refer to
+Documentation/admin-guide/pm/sleep-states.rst for a description of each of
+those states.
+
+/sys/power/disk controls the operating mode of hibernation (Suspend-to-Disk).
+Specifically, it tells the kernel what to do after creating a hibernation image.
+
+Reading from it returns a list of supported options encoded as:
+
+'platform' (put the system into sleep using a platform-provided method)
+'shutdown' (shut the system down)
+'reboot' (reboot the system)
+'suspend' (trigger a Suspend-to-RAM transition)
+'test_resume' (resume-after-hibernation test mode)
+
+The currently selected option is printed in square brackets.
+
+The 'platform' option is only available if the platform provides a special
+mechanism to put the system to sleep after creating a hibernation image (ACPI
+does that, for example).  The 'suspend' option is available if Suspend-to-RAM
+is supported.  Refer to Documentation/power/basic-pm-debugging.txt for the
+description of the 'test_resume' option.
+
+To select an option, write the string representing it to /sys/power/disk.
+
+/sys/power/image_size controls the size of hibernation images.
+
+It can be written a string representing a non-negative integer that will be
+used as a best-effort upper limit of the image size, in bytes.  The hibernation
+core will do its best to ensure that the image size will not exceed that number.
+However, if that turns out to be impossible to achieve, a hibernation image will
+still be created and its size will be as small as possible.  In particular,
+writing '0' to this file will enforce hibernation images to be as small as
+possible.
+
+Reading from this file returns the current image size limit, which is set to
+around 2/5 of available RAM by default.
+
+/sys/power/pm_trace controls the PM trace mechanism saving the last suspend
+or resume event point in the RTC across reboots.
+
+It helps to debug hard lockups or reboots due to device driver failures that
+occur during system suspend or resume (which is more common) more effectively.
+
+If /sys/power/pm_trace contains '1', the fingerprint of each suspend/resume
+event point in turn will be stored in the RTC memory (overwriting the actual
+RTC information), so it will survive a system crash if one occurs right after
+storing it and it can be used later to identify the driver that caused the crash
+to happen (see Documentation/power/s2ram.txt for more information).
+
+Initially it contains '0' which may be changed to '1' by writing a string
+representing a nonzero integer into it.

+Operating Performance Points (OPP) Library

+
+1. Introduction
+===============
+1.1 What is an Operating Performance Point (OPP)?
+
+Complex SoCs of today consists of a multiple sub-modules working in conjunction.
+In an operational system executing varied use cases, not all modules in the SoC
+need to function at their highest performing frequency all the time. To
+facilitate this, sub-modules in a SoC are grouped into domains, allowing some
+domains to run at lower voltage and frequency while other domains run at
+voltage/frequency pairs that are higher.
+
+The set of discrete tuples consisting of frequency and voltage pairs that
+the device will support per domain are called Operating Performance Points or
+OPPs.
+
+As an example:
+Let us consider an MPU device which supports the following:
+{300MHz at minimum voltage of 1V}, {800MHz at minimum voltage of 1.2V},
+{1GHz at minimum voltage of 1.3V}
+
+We can represent these as three OPPs as the following {Hz, uV} tuples:
+{300000000, 1000000}
+{800000000, 1200000}
+{1000000000, 1300000}
+
+1.2 Operating Performance Points Library
+
+OPP library provides a set of helper functions to organize and query the OPP
+information. The library is located in drivers/base/power/opp.c and the header
+is located in include/linux/pm_opp.h. OPP library can be enabled by enabling
+CONFIG_PM_OPP from power management menuconfig menu. OPP library depends on
+CONFIG_PM as certain SoCs such as Texas Instrument's OMAP framework allows to
+optionally boot at a certain OPP without needing cpufreq.
+
+Typical usage of the OPP library is as follows:
+(users)		-> registers a set of default OPPs		-> (library)
+SoC framework	-> modifies on required cases certain OPPs	-> OPP layer
+		-> queries to search/retrieve information	->
+
+OPP layer expects each domain to be represented by a unique device pointer. SoC
+framework registers a set of initial OPPs per device with the OPP layer. This
+list is expected to be an optimally small number typically around 5 per device.
+This initial list contains a set of OPPs that the framework expects to be safely
+enabled by default in the system.
+
+Note on OPP Availability:
+------------------------
+As the system proceeds to operate, SoC framework may choose to make certain
+OPPs available or not available on each device based on various external
+factors. Example usage: Thermal management or other exceptional situations where
+SoC framework might choose to disable a higher frequency OPP to safely continue
+operations until that OPP could be re-enabled if possible.
+
+OPP library facilitates this concept in it's implementation. The following
+operational functions operate only on available opps:
+opp_find_freq_{ceil, floor}, dev_pm_opp_get_voltage, dev_pm_opp_get_freq, dev_pm_opp_get_opp_count
+
+dev_pm_opp_find_freq_exact is meant to be used to find the opp pointer which can then
+be used for dev_pm_opp_enable/disable functions to make an opp available as required.
+
+WARNING: Users of OPP library should refresh their availability count using
+get_opp_count if dev_pm_opp_enable/disable functions are invoked for a device, the
+exact mechanism to trigger these or the notification mechanism to other
+dependent subsystems such as cpufreq are left to the discretion of the SoC
+specific framework which uses the OPP library. Similar care needs to be taken
+care to refresh the cpufreq table in cases of these operations.
+
+2. Initial OPP List Registration
+================================
+The SoC implementation calls dev_pm_opp_add function iteratively to add OPPs per
+device. It is expected that the SoC framework will register the OPP entries
+optimally- typical numbers range to be less than 5. The list generated by
+registering the OPPs is maintained by OPP library throughout the device
+operation. The SoC framework can subsequently control the availability of the
+OPPs dynamically using the dev_pm_opp_enable / disable functions.
+
+dev_pm_opp_add - Add a new OPP for a specific domain represented by the device pointer.
+	The OPP is defined using the frequency and voltage. Once added, the OPP
+	is assumed to be available and control of it's availability can be done
+	with the dev_pm_opp_enable/disable functions. OPP library internally stores
+	and manages this information in the opp struct. This function may be
+	used by SoC framework to define a optimal list as per the demands of
+	SoC usage environment.
+
+	WARNING: Do not use this function in interrupt context.
+
+	Example:
+	 soc_pm_init()
+	 {
+		/* Do things */
+		r = dev_pm_opp_add(mpu_dev, 1000000, 900000);
+		if (!r) {
+			pr_err("%s: unable to register mpu opp(%d)\n", r);
+			goto no_cpufreq;
+		}
+		/* Do cpufreq things */
+	 no_cpufreq:
+		/* Do remaining things */
+	 }
+
+3. OPP Search Functions
+=======================
+High level framework such as cpufreq operates on frequencies. To map the
+frequency back to the corresponding OPP, OPP library provides handy functions
+to search the OPP list that OPP library internally manages. These search
+functions return the matching pointer representing the opp if a match is
+found, else returns error. These errors are expected to be handled by standard
+error checks such as IS_ERR() and appropriate actions taken by the caller.
+
+Callers of these functions shall call dev_pm_opp_put() after they have used the
+OPP. Otherwise the memory for the OPP will never get freed and result in
+memleak.
+
+dev_pm_opp_find_freq_exact - Search for an OPP based on an *exact* frequency and
+	availability. This function is especially useful to enable an OPP which
+	is not available by default.
+	Example: In a case when SoC framework detects a situation where a
+	higher frequency could be made available, it can use this function to
+	find the OPP prior to call the dev_pm_opp_enable to actually make it available.
+	 opp = dev_pm_opp_find_freq_exact(dev, 1000000000, false);
+	 dev_pm_opp_put(opp);
+	 /* dont operate on the pointer.. just do a sanity check.. */
+	 if (IS_ERR(opp)) {
+		pr_err("frequency not disabled!\n");
+		/* trigger appropriate actions.. */
+	 } else {
+		dev_pm_opp_enable(dev,1000000000);
+	 }
+
+	NOTE: This is the only search function that operates on OPPs which are
+	not available.
+
+dev_pm_opp_find_freq_floor - Search for an available OPP which is *at most* the
+	provided frequency. This function is useful while searching for a lesser
+	match OR operating on OPP information in the order of decreasing
+	frequency.
+	Example: To find the highest opp for a device:
+	 freq = ULONG_MAX;
+	 opp = dev_pm_opp_find_freq_floor(dev, &freq);
+	 dev_pm_opp_put(opp);
+
+dev_pm_opp_find_freq_ceil - Search for an available OPP which is *at least* the
+	provided frequency. This function is useful while searching for a
+	higher match OR operating on OPP information in the order of increasing
+	frequency.
+	Example 1: To find the lowest opp for a device:
+	 freq = 0;
+	 opp = dev_pm_opp_find_freq_ceil(dev, &freq);
+	 dev_pm_opp_put(opp);
+	Example 2: A simplified implementation of a SoC cpufreq_driver->target:
+	 soc_cpufreq_target(..)
+	 {
+		/* Do stuff like policy checks etc. */
+		/* Find the best frequency match for the req */
+		opp = dev_pm_opp_find_freq_ceil(dev, &freq);
+		dev_pm_opp_put(opp);
+		if (!IS_ERR(opp))
+			soc_switch_to_freq_voltage(freq);
+		else
+			/* do something when we can't satisfy the req */
+		/* do other stuff */
+	 }
+
+4. OPP Availability Control Functions
+=====================================
+A default OPP list registered with the OPP library may not cater to all possible
+situation. The OPP library provides a set of functions to modify the
+availability of a OPP within the OPP list. This allows SoC frameworks to have
+fine grained dynamic control of which sets of OPPs are operationally available.
+These functions are intended to *temporarily* remove an OPP in conditions such
+as thermal considerations (e.g. don't use OPPx until the temperature drops).
+
+WARNING: Do not use these functions in interrupt context.
+
+dev_pm_opp_enable - Make a OPP available for operation.
+	Example: Lets say that 1GHz OPP is to be made available only if the
+	SoC temperature is lower than a certain threshold. The SoC framework
+	implementation might choose to do something as follows:
+	 if (cur_temp < temp_low_thresh) {
+		/* Enable 1GHz if it was disabled */
+		opp = dev_pm_opp_find_freq_exact(dev, 1000000000, false);
+		dev_pm_opp_put(opp);
+		/* just error check */
+		if (!IS_ERR(opp))
+			ret = dev_pm_opp_enable(dev, 1000000000);
+		else
+			goto try_something_else;
+	 }
+
+dev_pm_opp_disable - Make an OPP to be not available for operation
+	Example: Lets say that 1GHz OPP is to be disabled if the temperature
+	exceeds a threshold value. The SoC framework implementation might
+	choose to do something as follows:
+	 if (cur_temp > temp_high_thresh) {
+		/* Disable 1GHz if it was enabled */
+		opp = dev_pm_opp_find_freq_exact(dev, 1000000000, true);
+		dev_pm_opp_put(opp);
+		/* just error check */
+		if (!IS_ERR(opp))
+			ret = dev_pm_opp_disable(dev, 1000000000);
+		else
+			goto try_something_else;
+	 }
+
+5. OPP Data Retrieval Functions
+===============================
+Since OPP library abstracts away the OPP information, a set of functions to pull
+information from the OPP structure is necessary. Once an OPP pointer is
+retrieved using the search functions, the following functions can be used by SoC
+framework to retrieve the information represented inside the OPP layer.
+
+dev_pm_opp_get_voltage - Retrieve the voltage represented by the opp pointer.
+	Example: At a cpufreq transition to a different frequency, SoC
+	framework requires to set the voltage represented by the OPP using
+	the regulator framework to the Power Management chip providing the
+	voltage.
+	 soc_switch_to_freq_voltage(freq)
+	 {
+		/* do things */

+
+dev_pm_opp_get_freq - Retrieve the freq represented by the opp pointer.

+	 soc_cpufreq_target(..)

+			r = soc_test_validity(max_opp, requested_opp);
+		 dev_pm_opp_put(max_opp);
+		 dev_pm_opp_put(requested_opp);
+		/* do other things */
+	 }
+	 soc_test_validity(..)
+	 {
+		 if(dev_pm_opp_get_voltage(max_opp) < dev_pm_opp_get_voltage(requested_opp))
+			 return -EINVAL;
+		 if(dev_pm_opp_get_freq(max_opp) < dev_pm_opp_get_freq(requested_opp))
+			 return -EINVAL;
+		/* do things.. */
+	 }
+
+dev_pm_opp_get_opp_count - Retrieve the number of available opps for a device
+	Example: Lets say a co-processor in the SoC needs to know the available
+	frequencies in a table, the main processor can notify as following:
+	 soc_notify_coproc_available_frequencies()
+	 {
+		/* Do things */
+		num_available = dev_pm_opp_get_opp_count(dev);
+		speeds = kzalloc(sizeof(u32) * num_available, GFP_KERNEL);
+		/* populate the table in increasing order */
+		freq = 0;
+		while (!IS_ERR(opp = dev_pm_opp_find_freq_ceil(dev, &freq))) {
+			speeds[i] = freq;
+			freq++;
+			i++;
+			dev_pm_opp_put(opp);
+		}
+
+		soc_notify_coproc(AVAILABLE_FREQs, speeds, num_available);
+		/* Do other things */
+	 }
+
+6. Data Structures
+==================
+Typically an SoC contains multiple voltage domains which are variable. Each
+domain is represented by a device pointer. The relationship to OPP can be
+represented as follows:
+SoC
+ |- device 1
+ |	|- opp 1 (availability, freq, voltage)
+ |	|- opp 2 ..
+ ...	...
+ |	`- opp n ..
+ |- device 2
+ ...
+ `- device m
+
+OPP library maintains a internal list that the SoC framework populates and
+accessed by various functions as described above. However, the structures
+representing the actual OPPs and domains are internal to the OPP library itself
+to allow for suitable abstraction reusable across systems.
+
+struct dev_pm_opp - The internal data structure of OPP library which is used to
+	represent an OPP. In addition to the freq, voltage, availability
+	information, it also contains internal book keeping information required
+	for the OPP library to operate on.  Pointer to this structure is
+	provided back to the users such as SoC framework to be used as a
+	identifier for OPP in the interactions with OPP layer.
+
+	WARNING: The struct dev_pm_opp pointer should not be parsed or modified by the
+	users. The defaults of for an instance is populated by dev_pm_opp_add, but the
+	availability of the OPP can be modified by dev_pm_opp_enable/disable functions.
+
+struct device - This is used to identify a domain to the OPP layer. The
+	nature of the device and it's implementation is left to the user of
+	OPP library such as the SoC framework.
+
+Overall, in a simplistic view, the data structure operations is represented as
+following:
+
+Initialization / modification:
+            +-----+        /- dev_pm_opp_enable
+dev_pm_opp_add --> | opp | <-------
+  |         +-----+        \- dev_pm_opp_disable
+  \-------> domain_info(device)
+
+Search functions:
+             /-- dev_pm_opp_find_freq_ceil  ---\   +-----+
+domain_info<---- dev_pm_opp_find_freq_exact -----> | opp |
+             \-- dev_pm_opp_find_freq_floor ---/   +-----+
+
+Retrieval functions:
++-----+     /- dev_pm_opp_get_voltage
+| opp | <---
++-----+     \- dev_pm_opp_get_freq
+
+domain_info <- dev_pm_opp_get_opp_count

+An overview of concepts and the Linux kernel's interfaces related to PCI power
+management.  Based on previous work by Patrick Mochel <mochel@transmeta.com>
+(and others).
+
+This document only covers the aspects of power management specific to PCI
+devices.  For general description of the kernel's interfaces related to device

+
+1. Hardware and Platform Support for PCI Power Management
+=========================================================
+
+1.1. Native and Platform-Based Power Management
+-----------------------------------------------
+In general, power management is a feature allowing one to save energy by putting
+devices into states in which they draw less power (low-power states) at the
+price of reduced functionality or performance.
+
+Usually, a device is put into a low-power state when it is underutilized or
+completely inactive.  However, when it is necessary to use the device once
+again, it has to be put back into the "fully functional" state (full-power
+state).  This may happen when there are some data for the device to handle or
+as a result of an external event requiring the device to be active, which may
+be signaled by the device itself.
+
+PCI devices may be put into low-power states in two ways, by using the device
+capabilities introduced by the PCI Bus Power Management Interface Specification,
+or with the help of platform firmware, such as an ACPI BIOS.  In the first
+approach, that is referred to as the native PCI power management (native PCI PM)
+in what follows, the device power state is changed as a result of writing a
+specific value into one of its standard configuration registers.  The second
+approach requires the platform firmware to provide special methods that may be
+used by the kernel to change the device's power state.
+
+Devices supporting the native PCI PM usually can generate wakeup signals called
+Power Management Events (PMEs) to let the kernel know about external events
+requiring the device to be active.  After receiving a PME the kernel is supposed
+to put the device that sent it into the full-power state.  However, the PCI Bus
+Power Management Interface Specification doesn't define any standard method of
+delivering the PME from the device to the CPU and the operating system kernel.
+It is assumed that the platform firmware will perform this task and therefore,
+even though a PCI device is set up to generate PMEs, it also may be necessary to
+prepare the platform firmware for notifying the CPU of the PMEs coming from the
+device (e.g. by generating interrupts).
+
+In turn, if the methods provided by the platform firmware are used for changing
+the power state of a device, usually the platform also provides a method for
+preparing the device to generate wakeup signals.  In that case, however, it
+often also is necessary to prepare the device for generating PMEs using the
+native PCI PM mechanism, because the method provided by the platform depends on
+that.
+
+Thus in many situations both the native and the platform-based power management
+mechanisms have to be used simultaneously to obtain the desired result.
+
+1.2. Native PCI Power Management
+--------------------------------
+The PCI Bus Power Management Interface Specification (PCI PM Spec) was
+introduced between the PCI 2.1 and PCI 2.2 Specifications.  It defined a
+standard interface for performing various operations related to power
+management.
+
+The implementation of the PCI PM Spec is optional for conventional PCI devices,
+but it is mandatory for PCI Express devices.  If a device supports the PCI PM
+Spec, it has an 8 byte power management capability field in its PCI
+configuration space.  This field is used to describe and control the standard
+features related to the native PCI power management.
+
+The PCI PM Spec defines 4 operating states for devices (D0-D3) and for buses
+(B0-B3).  The higher the number, the less power is drawn by the device or bus
+in that state.  However, the higher the number, the longer the latency for
+the device or bus to return to the full-power state (D0 or B0, respectively).
+
+There are two variants of the D3 state defined by the specification.  The first
+one is D3hot, referred to as the software accessible D3, because devices can be
+programmed to go into it.  The second one, D3cold, is the state that PCI devices
+are in when the supply voltage (Vcc) is removed from them.  It is not possible
+to program a PCI device to go into D3cold, although there may be a programmable
+interface for putting the bus the device is on into a state in which Vcc is
+removed from all devices on the bus.
+
+PCI bus power management, however, is not supported by the Linux kernel at the
+time of this writing and therefore it is not covered by this document.
+
+Note that every PCI device can be in the full-power state (D0) or in D3cold,
+regardless of whether or not it implements the PCI PM Spec.  In addition to
+that, if the PCI PM Spec is implemented by the device, it must support D3hot
+as well as D0.  The support for the D1 and D2 power states is optional.
+
+PCI devices supporting the PCI PM Spec can be programmed to go to any of the
+supported low-power states (except for D3cold).  While in D1-D3hot the
+standard configuration registers of the device must be accessible to software
+(i.e. the device is required to respond to PCI configuration accesses), although
+its I/O and memory spaces are then disabled.  This allows the device to be
+programmatically put into D0.  Thus the kernel can switch the device back and
+forth between D0 and the supported low-power states (except for D3cold) and the
+possible power state transitions the device can undergo are the following:
+
++----------------------------+
+| Current State | New State  |
++----------------------------+
+| D0            | D1, D2, D3 |
++----------------------------+
+| D1            | D2, D3     |
++----------------------------+
+| D2            | D3         |
++----------------------------+
+| D1, D2, D3    | D0         |
++----------------------------+
+
+The transition from D3cold to D0 occurs when the supply voltage is provided to
+the device (i.e. power is restored).  In that case the device returns to D0 with
+a full power-on reset sequence and the power-on defaults are restored to the
+device by hardware just as at initial power up.
+
+PCI devices supporting the PCI PM Spec can be programmed to generate PMEs
+while in a low-power state (D1-D3), but they are not required to be capable
+of generating PMEs from all supported low-power states.  In particular, the
+capability of generating PMEs from D3cold is optional and depends on the
+presence of additional voltage (3.3Vaux) allowing the device to remain
+sufficiently active to generate a wakeup signal.
+
+1.3. ACPI Device Power Management
+---------------------------------
+The platform firmware support for the power management of PCI devices is
+system-specific.  However, if the system in question is compliant with the
+Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI) Specification, like the
+majority of x86-based systems, it is supposed to implement device power
+management interfaces defined by the ACPI standard.
+
+For this purpose the ACPI BIOS provides special functions called "control
+methods" that may be executed by the kernel to perform specific tasks, such as
+putting a device into a low-power state.  These control methods are encoded
+using special byte-code language called the ACPI Machine Language (AML) and
+stored in the machine's BIOS.  The kernel loads them from the BIOS and executes
+them as needed using an AML interpreter that translates the AML byte code into
+computations and memory or I/O space accesses.  This way, in theory, a BIOS
+writer can provide the kernel with a means to perform actions depending
+on the system design in a system-specific fashion.
+
+ACPI control methods may be divided into global control methods, that are not
+associated with any particular devices, and device control methods, that have
+to be defined separately for each device supposed to be handled with the help of
+the platform.  This means, in particular, that ACPI device control methods can
+only be used to handle devices that the BIOS writer knew about in advance.  The
+ACPI methods used for device power management fall into that category.
+
+The ACPI specification assumes that devices can be in one of four power states
+labeled as D0, D1, D2, and D3 that roughly correspond to the native PCI PM
+D0-D3 states (although the difference between D3hot and D3cold is not taken
+into account by ACPI).  Moreover, for each power state of a device there is a
+set of power resources that have to be enabled for the device to be put into
+that state.  These power resources are controlled (i.e. enabled or disabled)
+with the help of their own control methods, _ON and _OFF, that have to be
+defined individually for each of them.
+
+To put a device into the ACPI power state Dx (where x is a number between 0 and
+3 inclusive) the kernel is supposed to (1) enable the power resources required
+by the device in this state using their _ON control methods and (2) execute the
+_PSx control method defined for the device.  In addition to that, if the device
+is going to be put into a low-power state (D1-D3) and is supposed to generate
+wakeup signals from that state, the _DSW (or _PSW, replaced with _DSW by ACPI
+3.0) control method defined for it has to be executed before _PSx.  Power
+resources that are not required by the device in the target power state and are
+not required any more by any other device should be disabled (by executing their
+_OFF control methods).  If the current power state of the device is D3, it can
+only be put into D0 this way.
+
+However, quite often the power states of devices are changed during a
+system-wide transition into a sleep state or back into the working state.  ACPI
+defines four system sleep states, S1, S2, S3, and S4, and denotes the system
+working state as S0.  In general, the target system sleep (or working) state
+determines the highest power (lowest number) state the device can be put
+into and the kernel is supposed to obtain this information by executing the
+device's _SxD control method (where x is a number between 0 and 4 inclusive).
+If the device is required to wake up the system from the target sleep state, the
+lowest power (highest number) state it can be put into is also determined by the
+target state of the system.  The kernel is then supposed to use the device's
+_SxW control method to obtain the number of that state.  It also is supposed to
+use the device's _PRW control method to learn which power resources need to be
+enabled for the device to be able to generate wakeup signals.
+
+1.4. Wakeup Signaling
+---------------------
+Wakeup signals generated by PCI devices, either as native PCI PMEs, or as
+a result of the execution of the _DSW (or _PSW) ACPI control method before
+putting the device into a low-power state, have to be caught and handled as
+appropriate.  If they are sent while the system is in the working state
+(ACPI S0), they should be translated into interrupts so that the kernel can
+put the devices generating them into the full-power state and take care of the
+events that triggered them.  In turn, if they are sent while the system is
+sleeping, they should cause the system's core logic to trigger wakeup.
+
+On ACPI-based systems wakeup signals sent by conventional PCI devices are
+converted into ACPI General-Purpose Events (GPEs) which are hardware signals
+from the system core logic generated in response to various events that need to
+be acted upon.  Every GPE is associated with one or more sources of potentially
+interesting events.  In particular, a GPE may be associated with a PCI device
+capable of signaling wakeup.  The information on the connections between GPEs
+and event sources is recorded in the system's ACPI BIOS from where it can be
+read by the kernel.
+
+If a PCI device known to the system's ACPI BIOS signals wakeup, the GPE
+associated with it (if there is one) is triggered.  The GPEs associated with PCI
+bridges may also be triggered in response to a wakeup signal from one of the
+devices below the bridge (this also is the case for root bridges) and, for
+example, native PCI PMEs from devices unknown to the system's ACPI BIOS may be
+handled this way.
+
+A GPE may be triggered when the system is sleeping (i.e. when it is in one of
+the ACPI S1-S4 states), in which case system wakeup is started by its core logic
+(the device that was the source of the signal causing the system wakeup to occur
+may be identified later).  The GPEs used in such situations are referred to as
+wakeup GPEs.
+
+Usually, however, GPEs are also triggered when the system is in the working
+state (ACPI S0) and in that case the system's core logic generates a System
+Control Interrupt (SCI) to notify the kernel of the event.  Then, the SCI
+handler identifies the GPE that caused the interrupt to be generated which,
+in turn, allows the kernel to identify the source of the event (that may be
+a PCI device signaling wakeup).  The GPEs used for notifying the kernel of
+events occurring while the system is in the working state are referred to as
+runtime GPEs.
+
+Unfortunately, there is no standard way of handling wakeup signals sent by
+conventional PCI devices on systems that are not ACPI-based, but there is one
+for PCI Express devices.  Namely, the PCI Express Base Specification introduced
+a native mechanism for converting native PCI PMEs into interrupts generated by
+root ports.  For conventional PCI devices native PMEs are out-of-band, so they
+are routed separately and they need not pass through bridges (in principle they
+may be routed directly to the system's core logic), but for PCI Express devices
+they are in-band messages that have to pass through the PCI Express hierarchy,
+including the root port on the path from the device to the Root Complex.  Thus
+it was possible to introduce a mechanism by which a root port generates an
+interrupt whenever it receives a PME message from one of the devices below it.
+The PCI Express Requester ID of the device that sent the PME message is then
+recorded in one of the root port's configuration registers from where it may be
+read by the interrupt handler allowing the device to be identified.  [PME
+messages sent by PCI Express endpoints integrated with the Root Complex don't
+pass through root ports, but instead they cause a Root Complex Event Collector
+(if there is one) to generate interrupts.]
+
+In principle the native PCI Express PME signaling may also be used on ACPI-based
+systems along with the GPEs, but to use it the kernel has to ask the system's
+ACPI BIOS to release control of root port configuration registers.  The ACPI
+BIOS, however, is not required to allow the kernel to control these registers
+and if it doesn't do that, the kernel must not modify their contents.  Of course
+the native PCI Express PME signaling cannot be used by the kernel in that case.
+
+
+2. PCI Subsystem and Device Power Management
+============================================
+
+2.1. Device Power Management Callbacks
+--------------------------------------
+The PCI Subsystem participates in the power management of PCI devices in a
+number of ways.  First of all, it provides an intermediate code layer between
+the device power management core (PM core) and PCI device drivers.
+Specifically, the pm field of the PCI subsystem's struct bus_type object,
+pci_bus_type, points to a struct dev_pm_ops object, pci_dev_pm_ops, containing
+pointers to several device power management callbacks:
+
+const struct dev_pm_ops pci_dev_pm_ops = {
+	.prepare = pci_pm_prepare,
+	.complete = pci_pm_complete,
+	.suspend = pci_pm_suspend,
+	.resume = pci_pm_resume,
+	.freeze = pci_pm_freeze,
+	.thaw = pci_pm_thaw,
+	.poweroff = pci_pm_poweroff,
+	.restore = pci_pm_restore,
+	.suspend_noirq = pci_pm_suspend_noirq,
+	.resume_noirq = pci_pm_resume_noirq,
+	.freeze_noirq = pci_pm_freeze_noirq,
+	.thaw_noirq = pci_pm_thaw_noirq,
+	.poweroff_noirq = pci_pm_poweroff_noirq,
+	.restore_noirq = pci_pm_restore_noirq,
+	.runtime_suspend = pci_pm_runtime_suspend,
+	.runtime_resume = pci_pm_runtime_resume,
+	.runtime_idle = pci_pm_runtime_idle,
+};
+
+These callbacks are executed by the PM core in various situations related to
+device power management and they, in turn, execute power management callbacks
+provided by PCI device drivers.  They also perform power management operations
+involving some standard configuration registers of PCI devices that device
+drivers need not know or care about.
+
+The structure representing a PCI device, struct pci_dev, contains several fields
+that these callbacks operate on:
+
+struct pci_dev {
+	...
+	pci_power_t     current_state;  /* Current operating state. */
+	int		pm_cap;		/* PM capability offset in the
+					   configuration space */
+	unsigned int	pme_support:5;	/* Bitmask of states from which PME#
+					   can be generated */
+	unsigned int	pme_interrupt:1;/* Is native PCIe PME signaling used? */
+	unsigned int	d1_support:1;	/* Low power state D1 is supported */
+	unsigned int	d2_support:1;	/* Low power state D2 is supported */
+	unsigned int	no_d1d2:1;	/* D1 and D2 are forbidden */
+	unsigned int	wakeup_prepared:1;  /* Device prepared for wake up */
+	unsigned int	d3_delay;	/* D3->D0 transition time in ms */
+	...
+};
+
+They also indirectly use some fields of the struct device that is embedded in
+struct pci_dev.
+
+2.2. Device Initialization
+--------------------------
+The PCI subsystem's first task related to device power management is to
+prepare the device for power management and initialize the fields of struct
+pci_dev used for this purpose.  This happens in two functions defined in
+drivers/pci/pci.c, pci_pm_init() and platform_pci_wakeup_init().
+
+The first of these functions checks if the device supports native PCI PM
+and if that's the case the offset of its power management capability structure
+in the configuration space is stored in the pm_cap field of the device's struct
+pci_dev object.  Next, the function checks which PCI low-power states are
+supported by the device and from which low-power states the device can generate
+native PCI PMEs.  The power management fields of the device's struct pci_dev and
+the struct device embedded in it are updated accordingly and the generation of
+PMEs by the device is disabled.
+
+The second function checks if the device can be prepared to signal wakeup with
+the help of the platform firmware, such as the ACPI BIOS.  If that is the case,
+the function updates the wakeup fields in struct device embedded in the
+device's struct pci_dev and uses the firmware-provided method to prevent the
+device from signaling wakeup.
+
+At this point the device is ready for power management.  For driverless devices,
+however, this functionality is limited to a few basic operations carried out
+during system-wide transitions to a sleep state and back to the working state.
+
+2.3. Runtime Device Power Management
+------------------------------------
+The PCI subsystem plays a vital role in the runtime power management of PCI
+devices.  For this purpose it uses the general runtime power management
+(runtime PM) framework described in Documentation/power/runtime_pm.txt.
+Namely, it provides subsystem-level callbacks:
+
+	pci_pm_runtime_suspend()
+	pci_pm_runtime_resume()
+	pci_pm_runtime_idle()
+
+that are executed by the core runtime PM routines.  It also implements the
+entire mechanics necessary for handling runtime wakeup signals from PCI devices
+in low-power states, which at the time of this writing works for both the native
+PCI Express PME signaling and the ACPI GPE-based wakeup signaling described in
+Section 1.
+
+First, a PCI device is put into a low-power state, or suspended, with the help
+of pm_schedule_suspend() or pm_runtime_suspend() which for PCI devices call
+pci_pm_runtime_suspend() to do the actual job.  For this to work, the device's
+driver has to provide a pm->runtime_suspend() callback (see below), which is
+run by pci_pm_runtime_suspend() as the first action.  If the driver's callback
+returns successfully, the device's standard configuration registers are saved,
+the device is prepared to generate wakeup signals and, finally, it is put into
+the target low-power state.
+
+The low-power state to put the device into is the lowest-power (highest number)
+state from which it can signal wakeup.  The exact method of signaling wakeup is
+system-dependent and is determined by the PCI subsystem on the basis of the
+reported capabilities of the device and the platform firmware.  To prepare the
+device for signaling wakeup and put it into the selected low-power state, the
+PCI subsystem can use the platform firmware as well as the device's native PCI
+PM capabilities, if supported.
+
+It is expected that the device driver's pm->runtime_suspend() callback will
+not attempt to prepare the device for signaling wakeup or to put it into a
+low-power state.  The driver ought to leave these tasks to the PCI subsystem
+that has all of the information necessary to perform them.
+
+A suspended device is brought back into the "active" state, or resumed,
+with the help of pm_request_resume() or pm_runtime_resume() which both call
+pci_pm_runtime_resume() for PCI devices.  Again, this only works if the device's
+driver provides a pm->runtime_resume() callback (see below).  However, before
+the driver's callback is executed, pci_pm_runtime_resume() brings the device
+back into the full-power state, prevents it from signaling wakeup while in that
+state and restores its standard configuration registers.  Thus the driver's
+callback need not worry about the PCI-specific aspects of the device resume.
+
+Note that generally pci_pm_runtime_resume() may be called in two different
+situations.  First, it may be called at the request of the device's driver, for
+example if there are some data for it to process.  Second, it may be called
+as a result of a wakeup signal from the device itself (this sometimes is
+referred to as "remote wakeup").  Of course, for this purpose the wakeup signal
+is handled in one of the ways described in Section 1 and finally converted into
+a notification for the PCI subsystem after the source device has been
+identified.
+
+The pci_pm_runtime_idle() function, called for PCI devices by pm_runtime_idle()
+and pm_request_idle(), executes the device driver's pm->runtime_idle()
+callback, if defined, and if that callback doesn't return error code (or is not
+present at all), suspends the device with the help of pm_runtime_suspend().
+Sometimes pci_pm_runtime_idle() is called automatically by the PM core (for
+example, it is called right after the device has just been resumed), in which
+cases it is expected to suspend the device if that makes sense.  Usually,
+however, the PCI subsystem doesn't really know if the device really can be
+suspended, so it lets the device's driver decide by running its
+pm->runtime_idle() callback.
+
+2.4. System-Wide Power Transitions
+----------------------------------
+There are a few different types of system-wide power transitions, described in
+Documentation/driver-api/pm/devices.rst.  Each of them requires devices to be handled
+in a specific way and the PM core executes subsystem-level power management
+callbacks for this purpose.  They are executed in phases such that each phase
+involves executing the same subsystem-level callback for every device belonging
+to the given subsystem before the next phase begins.  These phases always run
+after tasks have been frozen.
+
+2.4.1. System Suspend
+
+When the system is going into a sleep state in which the contents of memory will
+be preserved, such as one of the ACPI sleep states S1-S3, the phases are:
+
+	prepare, suspend, suspend_noirq.
+
+The following PCI bus type's callbacks, respectively, are used in these phases:
+
+	pci_pm_prepare()
+	pci_pm_suspend()
+	pci_pm_suspend_noirq()
+
+The pci_pm_prepare() routine first puts the device into the "fully functional"
+state with the help of pm_runtime_resume().  Then, it executes the device
+driver's pm->prepare() callback if defined (i.e. if the driver's struct
+dev_pm_ops object is present and the prepare pointer in that object is valid).
+
+The pci_pm_suspend() routine first checks if the device's driver implements
+legacy PCI suspend routines (see Section 3), in which case the driver's legacy
+suspend callback is executed, if present, and its result is returned.  Next, if
+the device's driver doesn't provide a struct dev_pm_ops object (containing
+pointers to the driver's callbacks), pci_pm_default_suspend() is called, which
+simply turns off the device's bus master capability and runs
+pcibios_disable_device() to disable it, unless the device is a bridge (PCI
+bridges are ignored by this routine).  Next, the device driver's pm->suspend()
+callback is executed, if defined, and its result is returned if it fails.
+Finally, pci_fixup_device() is called to apply hardware suspend quirks related
+to the device if necessary.
+
+Note that the suspend phase is carried out asynchronously for PCI devices, so
+the pci_pm_suspend() callback may be executed in parallel for any pair of PCI
+devices that don't depend on each other in a known way (i.e. none of the paths
+in the device tree from the root bridge to a leaf device contains both of them).
+
+The pci_pm_suspend_noirq() routine is executed after suspend_device_irqs() has
+been called, which means that the device driver's interrupt handler won't be
+invoked while this routine is running.  It first checks if the device's driver
+implements legacy PCI suspends routines (Section 3), in which case the legacy
+late suspend routine is called and its result is returned (the standard
+configuration registers of the device are saved if the driver's callback hasn't
+done that).  Second, if the device driver's struct dev_pm_ops object is not
+present, the device's standard configuration registers are saved and the routine
+returns success.  Otherwise the device driver's pm->suspend_noirq() callback is
+executed, if present, and its result is returned if it fails.  Next, if the
+device's standard configuration registers haven't been saved yet (one of the
+device driver's callbacks executed before might do that), pci_pm_suspend_noirq()
+saves them, prepares the device to signal wakeup (if necessary) and puts it into
+a low-power state.
+
+The low-power state to put the device into is the lowest-power (highest number)
+state from which it can signal wakeup while the system is in the target sleep
+state.  Just like in the runtime PM case described above, the mechanism of
+signaling wakeup is system-dependent and determined by the PCI subsystem, which
+is also responsible for preparing the device to signal wakeup from the system's
+target sleep state as appropriate.
+
+PCI device drivers (that don't implement legacy power management callbacks) are
+generally not expected to prepare devices for signaling wakeup or to put them
+into low-power states.  However, if one of the driver's suspend callbacks
+(pm->suspend() or pm->suspend_noirq()) saves the device's standard configuration
+registers, pci_pm_suspend_noirq() will assume that the device has been prepared
+to signal wakeup and put into a low-power state by the driver (the driver is
+then assumed to have used the helper functions provided by the PCI subsystem for
+this purpose).  PCI device drivers are not encouraged to do that, but in some
+rare cases doing that in the driver may be the optimum approach.
+
+2.4.2. System Resume
+
+When the system is undergoing a transition from a sleep state in which the
+contents of memory have been preserved, such as one of the ACPI sleep states
+S1-S3, into the working state (ACPI S0), the phases are:
+
+	resume_noirq, resume, complete.
+
+The following PCI bus type's callbacks, respectively, are executed in these
+phases:
+
+	pci_pm_resume_noirq()
+	pci_pm_resume()
+	pci_pm_complete()
+
+The pci_pm_resume_noirq() routine first puts the device into the full-power
+state, restores its standard configuration registers and applies early resume
+hardware quirks related to the device, if necessary.  This is done
+unconditionally, regardless of whether or not the device's driver implements
+legacy PCI power management callbacks (this way all PCI devices are in the
+full-power state and their standard configuration registers have been restored
+when their interrupt handlers are invoked for the first time during resume,
+which allows the kernel to avoid problems with the handling of shared interrupts
+by drivers whose devices are still suspended).  If legacy PCI power management
+callbacks (see Section 3) are implemented by the device's driver, the legacy
+early resume callback is executed and its result is returned.  Otherwise, the
+device driver's pm->resume_noirq() callback is executed, if defined, and its
+result is returned.
+
+The pci_pm_resume() routine first checks if the device's standard configuration
+registers have been restored and restores them if that's not the case (this
+only is necessary in the error path during a failing suspend).  Next, resume
+hardware quirks related to the device are applied, if necessary, and if the
+device's driver implements legacy PCI power management callbacks (see
+Section 3), the driver's legacy resume callback is executed and its result is
+returned.  Otherwise, the device's wakeup signaling mechanisms are blocked and
+its driver's pm->resume() callback is executed, if defined (the callback's
+result is then returned).
+
+The resume phase is carried out asynchronously for PCI devices, like the
+suspend phase described above, which means that if two PCI devices don't depend
+on each other in a known way, the pci_pm_resume() routine may be executed for
+the both of them in parallel.
+
+The pci_pm_complete() routine only executes the device driver's pm->complete()
+callback, if defined.
+
+2.4.3. System Hibernation
+
+System hibernation is more complicated than system suspend, because it requires
+a system image to be created and written into a persistent storage medium.  The
+image is created atomically and all devices are quiesced, or frozen, before that
+happens.
+
+The freezing of devices is carried out after enough memory has been freed (at
+the time of this writing the image creation requires at least 50% of system RAM
+to be free) in the following three phases:
+
+	prepare, freeze, freeze_noirq
+
+that correspond to the PCI bus type's callbacks:
+
+	pci_pm_prepare()
+	pci_pm_freeze()
+	pci_pm_freeze_noirq()
+
+This means that the prepare phase is exactly the same as for system suspend.
+The other two phases, however, are different.
+
+The pci_pm_freeze() routine is quite similar to pci_pm_suspend(), but it runs
+the device driver's pm->freeze() callback, if defined, instead of pm->suspend(),
+and it doesn't apply the suspend-related hardware quirks.  It is executed
+asynchronously for different PCI devices that don't depend on each other in a
+known way.
+
+The pci_pm_freeze_noirq() routine, in turn, is similar to
+pci_pm_suspend_noirq(), but it calls the device driver's pm->freeze_noirq()
+routine instead of pm->suspend_noirq().  It also doesn't attempt to prepare the
+device for signaling wakeup and put it into a low-power state.  Still, it saves
+the device's standard configuration registers if they haven't been saved by one
+of the driver's callbacks.
+
+Once the image has been created, it has to be saved.  However, at this point all
+devices are frozen and they cannot handle I/O, while their ability to handle
+I/O is obviously necessary for the image saving.  Thus they have to be brought
+back to the fully functional state and this is done in the following phases:
+
+	thaw_noirq, thaw, complete
+
+using the following PCI bus type's callbacks:
+
+	pci_pm_thaw_noirq()
+	pci_pm_thaw()
+	pci_pm_complete()
+
+respectively.
+
+The first of them, pci_pm_thaw_noirq(), is analogous to pci_pm_resume_noirq(),
+but it doesn't put the device into the full power state and doesn't attempt to
+restore its standard configuration registers.  It also executes the device
+driver's pm->thaw_noirq() callback, if defined, instead of pm->resume_noirq().
+
+The pci_pm_thaw() routine is similar to pci_pm_resume(), but it runs the device
+driver's pm->thaw() callback instead of pm->resume().  It is executed
+asynchronously for different PCI devices that don't depend on each other in a
+known way.
+
+The complete phase it the same as for system resume.
+
+After saving the image, devices need to be powered down before the system can
+enter the target sleep state (ACPI S4 for ACPI-based systems).  This is done in
+three phases:
+
+	prepare, poweroff, poweroff_noirq
+
+where the prepare phase is exactly the same as for system suspend.  The other
+two phases are analogous to the suspend and suspend_noirq phases, respectively.
+The PCI subsystem-level callbacks they correspond to
+
+	pci_pm_poweroff()
+	pci_pm_poweroff_noirq()
+
+work in analogy with pci_pm_suspend() and pci_pm_poweroff_noirq(), respectively,
+although they don't attempt to save the device's standard configuration
+registers.
+
+2.4.4. System Restore
+
+System restore requires a hibernation image to be loaded into memory and the
+pre-hibernation memory contents to be restored before the pre-hibernation system
+activity can be resumed.
+
+As described in Documentation/driver-api/pm/devices.rst, the hibernation image is loaded
+into memory by a fresh instance of the kernel, called the boot kernel, which in
+turn is loaded and run by a boot loader in the usual way.  After the boot kernel
+has loaded the image, it needs to replace its own code and data with the code
+and data of the "hibernated" kernel stored within the image, called the image
+kernel.  For this purpose all devices are frozen just like before creating
+the image during hibernation, in the
+
+	prepare, freeze, freeze_noirq
+
+phases described above.  However, the devices affected by these phases are only
+those having drivers in the boot kernel; other devices will still be in whatever
+state the boot loader left them.
+
+Should the restoration of the pre-hibernation memory contents fail, the boot
+kernel would go through the "thawing" procedure described above, using the
+thaw_noirq, thaw, and complete phases (that will only affect the devices having
+drivers in the boot kernel), and then continue running normally.
+
+If the pre-hibernation memory contents are restored successfully, which is the
+usual situation, control is passed to the image kernel, which then becomes
+responsible for bringing the system back to the working state.  To achieve this,
+it must restore the devices' pre-hibernation functionality, which is done much
+like waking up from the memory sleep state, although it involves different
+phases:
+
+	restore_noirq, restore, complete
+
+The first two of these are analogous to the resume_noirq and resume phases
+described above, respectively, and correspond to the following PCI subsystem
+callbacks:
+
+	pci_pm_restore_noirq()
+	pci_pm_restore()
+
+These callbacks work in analogy with pci_pm_resume_noirq() and pci_pm_resume(),
+respectively, but they execute the device driver's pm->restore_noirq() and
+pm->restore() callbacks, if available.
+
+The complete phase is carried out in exactly the same way as during system
+resume.
+
+
+3. PCI Device Drivers and Power Management
+==========================================
+
+3.1. Power Management Callbacks
+-------------------------------
+PCI device drivers participate in power management by providing callbacks to be
+executed by the PCI subsystem's power management routines described above and by
+controlling the runtime power management of their devices.
+
+At the time of this writing there are two ways to define power management
+callbacks for a PCI device driver, the recommended one, based on using a
+dev_pm_ops structure described in Documentation/driver-api/pm/devices.rst, and the
+"legacy" one, in which the .suspend(), .suspend_late(), .resume_early(), and
+.resume() callbacks from struct pci_driver are used.  The legacy approach,
+however, doesn't allow one to define runtime power management callbacks and is
+not really suitable for any new drivers.  Therefore it is not covered by this
+document (refer to the source code to learn more about it).
+
+It is recommended that all PCI device drivers define a struct dev_pm_ops object
+containing pointers to power management (PM) callbacks that will be executed by
+the PCI subsystem's PM routines in various circumstances.  A pointer to the
+driver's struct dev_pm_ops object has to be assigned to the driver.pm field in
+its struct pci_driver object.  Once that has happened, the "legacy" PM callbacks
+in struct pci_driver are ignored (even if they are not NULL).
+
+The PM callbacks in struct dev_pm_ops are not mandatory and if they are not
+defined (i.e. the respective fields of struct dev_pm_ops are unset) the PCI
+subsystem will handle the device in a simplified default manner.  If they are
+defined, though, they are expected to behave as described in the following
+subsections.
+
+3.1.1. prepare()
+
+The prepare() callback is executed during system suspend, during hibernation
+(when a hibernation image is about to be created), during power-off after
+saving a hibernation image and during system restore, when a hibernation image
+has just been loaded into memory.
+
+This callback is only necessary if the driver's device has children that in
+general may be registered at any time.  In that case the role of the prepare()
+callback is to prevent new children of the device from being registered until
+one of the resume_noirq(), thaw_noirq(), or restore_noirq() callbacks is run.
+
+In addition to that the prepare() callback may carry out some operations
+preparing the device to be suspended, although it should not allocate memory
+(if additional memory is required to suspend the device, it has to be
+preallocated earlier, for example in a suspend/hibernate notifier as described
+in Documentation/driver-api/pm/notifiers.rst).
+
+3.1.2. suspend()
+
+The suspend() callback is only executed during system suspend, after prepare()
+callbacks have been executed for all devices in the system.
+
+This callback is expected to quiesce the device and prepare it to be put into a
+low-power state by the PCI subsystem.  It is not required (in fact it even is
+not recommended) that a PCI driver's suspend() callback save the standard
+configuration registers of the device, prepare it for waking up the system, or
+put it into a low-power state.  All of these operations can very well be taken
+care of by the PCI subsystem, without the driver's participation.
+
+However, in some rare case it is convenient to carry out these operations in
+a PCI driver.  Then, pci_save_state(), pci_prepare_to_sleep(), and
+pci_set_power_state() should be used to save the device's standard configuration
+registers, to prepare it for system wakeup (if necessary), and to put it into a
+low-power state, respectively.  Moreover, if the driver calls pci_save_state(),
+the PCI subsystem will not execute either pci_prepare_to_sleep(), or
+pci_set_power_state() for its device, so the driver is then responsible for
+handling the device as appropriate.
+
+While the suspend() callback is being executed, the driver's interrupt handler
+can be invoked to handle an interrupt from the device, so all suspend-related
+operations relying on the driver's ability to handle interrupts should be
+carried out in this callback.
+
+3.1.3. suspend_noirq()
+
+The suspend_noirq() callback is only executed during system suspend, after
+suspend() callbacks have been executed for all devices in the system and
+after device interrupts have been disabled by the PM core.
+
+The difference between suspend_noirq() and suspend() is that the driver's
+interrupt handler will not be invoked while suspend_noirq() is running.  Thus
+suspend_noirq() can carry out operations that would cause race conditions to
+arise if they were performed in suspend().
+
+3.1.4. freeze()
+
+The freeze() callback is hibernation-specific and is executed in two situations,
+during hibernation, after prepare() callbacks have been executed for all devices
+in preparation for the creation of a system image, and during restore,
+after a system image has been loaded into memory from persistent storage and the
+prepare() callbacks have been executed for all devices.
+
+The role of this callback is analogous to the role of the suspend() callback
+described above.  In fact, they only need to be different in the rare cases when
+the driver takes the responsibility for putting the device into a low-power
+state.
+
+In that cases the freeze() callback should not prepare the device system wakeup
+or put it into a low-power state.  Still, either it or freeze_noirq() should
+save the device's standard configuration registers using pci_save_state().
+
+3.1.5. freeze_noirq()
+
+The freeze_noirq() callback is hibernation-specific.  It is executed during
+hibernation, after prepare() and freeze() callbacks have been executed for all
+devices in preparation for the creation of a system image, and during restore,
+after a system image has been loaded into memory and after prepare() and
+freeze() callbacks have been executed for all devices.  It is always executed
+after device interrupts have been disabled by the PM core.
+
+The role of this callback is analogous to the role of the suspend_noirq()
+callback described above and it very rarely is necessary to define
+freeze_noirq().
+
+The difference between freeze_noirq() and freeze() is analogous to the
+difference between suspend_noirq() and suspend().
+
+3.1.6. poweroff()
+
+The poweroff() callback is hibernation-specific.  It is executed when the system
+is about to be powered off after saving a hibernation image to a persistent
+storage.  prepare() callbacks are executed for all devices before poweroff() is
+called.
+
+The role of this callback is analogous to the role of the suspend() and freeze()
+callbacks described above, although it does not need to save the contents of
+the device's registers.  In particular, if the driver wants to put the device
+into a low-power state itself instead of allowing the PCI subsystem to do that,
+the poweroff() callback should use pci_prepare_to_sleep() and
+pci_set_power_state() to prepare the device for system wakeup and to put it
+into a low-power state, respectively, but it need not save the device's standard
+configuration registers.
+
+3.1.7. poweroff_noirq()
+
+The poweroff_noirq() callback is hibernation-specific.  It is executed after
+poweroff() callbacks have been executed for all devices in the system.
+
+The role of this callback is analogous to the role of the suspend_noirq() and
+freeze_noirq() callbacks described above, but it does not need to save the
+contents of the device's registers.
+
+The difference between poweroff_noirq() and poweroff() is analogous to the
+difference between suspend_noirq() and suspend().
+
+3.1.8. resume_noirq()
+
+The resume_noirq() callback is only executed during system resume, after the
+PM core has enabled the non-boot CPUs.  The driver's interrupt handler will not
+be invoked while resume_noirq() is running, so this callback can carry out
+operations that might race with the interrupt handler.
+
+Since the PCI subsystem unconditionally puts all devices into the full power
+state in the resume_noirq phase of system resume and restores their standard
+configuration registers, resume_noirq() is usually not necessary.  In general
+it should only be used for performing operations that would lead to race
+conditions if carried out by resume().
+
+3.1.9. resume()
+
+The resume() callback is only executed during system resume, after
+resume_noirq() callbacks have been executed for all devices in the system and
+device interrupts have been enabled by the PM core.
+
+This callback is responsible for restoring the pre-suspend configuration of the
+device and bringing it back to the fully functional state.  The device should be
+able to process I/O in a usual way after resume() has returned.
+
+3.1.10. thaw_noirq()
+
+The thaw_noirq() callback is hibernation-specific.  It is executed after a
+system image has been created and the non-boot CPUs have been enabled by the PM
+core, in the thaw_noirq phase of hibernation.  It also may be executed if the
+loading of a hibernation image fails during system restore (it is then executed
+after enabling the non-boot CPUs).  The driver's interrupt handler will not be
+invoked while thaw_noirq() is running.
+
+The role of this callback is analogous to the role of resume_noirq().  The
+difference between these two callbacks is that thaw_noirq() is executed after
+freeze() and freeze_noirq(), so in general it does not need to modify the
+contents of the device's registers.
+
+3.1.11. thaw()
+
+The thaw() callback is hibernation-specific.  It is executed after thaw_noirq()
+callbacks have been executed for all devices in the system and after device
+interrupts have been enabled by the PM core.
+
+This callback is responsible for restoring the pre-freeze configuration of
+the device, so that it will work in a usual way after thaw() has returned.
+
+3.1.12. restore_noirq()
+
+The restore_noirq() callback is hibernation-specific.  It is executed in the
+restore_noirq phase of hibernation, when the boot kernel has passed control to
+the image kernel and the non-boot CPUs have been enabled by the image kernel's
+PM core.
+
+This callback is analogous to resume_noirq() with the exception that it cannot
+make any assumption on the previous state of the device, even if the BIOS (or
+generally the platform firmware) is known to preserve that state over a
+suspend-resume cycle.
+
+For the vast majority of PCI device drivers there is no difference between
+resume_noirq() and restore_noirq().
+
+3.1.13. restore()
+
+The restore() callback is hibernation-specific.  It is executed after
+restore_noirq() callbacks have been executed for all devices in the system and
+after the PM core has enabled device drivers' interrupt handlers to be invoked.
+
+This callback is analogous to resume(), just like restore_noirq() is analogous
+to resume_noirq().  Consequently, the difference between restore_noirq() and
+restore() is analogous to the difference between resume_noirq() and resume().
+
+For the vast majority of PCI device drivers there is no difference between
+resume() and restore().
+
+3.1.14. complete()
+
+The complete() callback is executed in the following situations:
+  - during system resume, after resume() callbacks have been executed for all
+    devices,
+  - during hibernation, before saving the system image, after thaw() callbacks
+    have been executed for all devices,
+  - during system restore, when the system is going back to its pre-hibernation
+    state, after restore() callbacks have been executed for all devices.
+It also may be executed if the loading of a hibernation image into memory fails
+(in that case it is run after thaw() callbacks have been executed for all
+devices that have drivers in the boot kernel).
+
+This callback is entirely optional, although it may be necessary if the
+prepare() callback performs operations that need to be reversed.
+
+3.1.15. runtime_suspend()
+
+The runtime_suspend() callback is specific to device runtime power management
+(runtime PM).  It is executed by the PM core's runtime PM framework when the
+device is about to be suspended (i.e. quiesced and put into a low-power state)
+at run time.
+
+This callback is responsible for freezing the device and preparing it to be
+put into a low-power state, but it must allow the PCI subsystem to perform all
+of the PCI-specific actions necessary for suspending the device.
+
+3.1.16. runtime_resume()
+
+The runtime_resume() callback is specific to device runtime PM.  It is executed
+by the PM core's runtime PM framework when the device is about to be resumed
+(i.e. put into the full-power state and programmed to process I/O normally) at
+run time.
+
+This callback is responsible for restoring the normal functionality of the
+device after it has been put into the full-power state by the PCI subsystem.
+The device is expected to be able to process I/O in the usual way after
+runtime_resume() has returned.
+
+3.1.17. runtime_idle()
+
+The runtime_idle() callback is specific to device runtime PM.  It is executed
+by the PM core's runtime PM framework whenever it may be desirable to suspend
+the device according to the PM core's information.  In particular, it is
+automatically executed right after runtime_resume() has returned in case the
+resume of the device has happened as a result of a spurious event.
+
+This callback is optional, but if it is not implemented or if it returns 0, the
+PCI subsystem will call pm_runtime_suspend() for the device, which in turn will
+cause the driver's runtime_suspend() callback to be executed.
+
+3.1.18. Pointing Multiple Callback Pointers to One Routine
+
+Although in principle each of the callbacks described in the previous
+subsections can be defined as a separate function, it often is convenient to
+point two or more members of struct dev_pm_ops to the same routine.  There are
+a few convenience macros that can be used for this purpose.
+
+The SIMPLE_DEV_PM_OPS macro declares a struct dev_pm_ops object with one
+suspend routine pointed to by the .suspend(), .freeze(), and .poweroff()
+members and one resume routine pointed to by the .resume(), .thaw(), and
+.restore() members.  The other function pointers in this struct dev_pm_ops are
+unset.
+
+The UNIVERSAL_DEV_PM_OPS macro is similar to SIMPLE_DEV_PM_OPS, but it
+additionally sets the .runtime_resume() pointer to the same value as
+.resume() (and .thaw(), and .restore()) and the .runtime_suspend() pointer to
+the same value as .suspend() (and .freeze() and .poweroff()).
+
+The SET_SYSTEM_SLEEP_PM_OPS can be used inside of a declaration of struct
+dev_pm_ops to indicate that one suspend routine is to be pointed to by the
+.suspend(), .freeze(), and .poweroff() members and one resume routine is to
+be pointed to by the .resume(), .thaw(), and .restore() members.
+
+3.1.19. Driver Flags for Power Management
+
+The PM core allows device drivers to set flags that influence the handling of
+power management for the devices by the core itself and by middle layer code
+including the PCI bus type.  The flags should be set once at the driver probe
+time with the help of the dev_pm_set_driver_flags() function and they should not
+be updated directly afterwards.
+
+The DPM_FLAG_NEVER_SKIP flag prevents the PM core from using the direct-complete
+mechanism allowing device suspend/resume callbacks to be skipped if the device
+is in runtime suspend when the system suspend starts.  That also affects all of
+the ancestors of the device, so this flag should only be used if absolutely
+necessary.
+
+The DPM_FLAG_SMART_PREPARE flag instructs the PCI bus type to only return a
+positive value from pci_pm_prepare() if the ->prepare callback provided by the
+driver of the device returns a positive value.  That allows the driver to opt
+out from using the direct-complete mechanism dynamically.
+
+The DPM_FLAG_SMART_SUSPEND flag tells the PCI bus type that from the driver's
+perspective the device can be safely left in runtime suspend during system
+suspend.  That causes pci_pm_suspend(), pci_pm_freeze() and pci_pm_poweroff()
+to skip resuming the device from runtime suspend unless there are PCI-specific
+reasons for doing that.  Also, it causes pci_pm_suspend_late/noirq(),
+pci_pm_freeze_late/noirq() and pci_pm_poweroff_late/noirq() to return early
+if the device remains in runtime suspend in the beginning of the "late" phase
+of the system-wide transition under way.  Moreover, if the device is in
+runtime suspend in pci_pm_resume_noirq() or pci_pm_restore_noirq(), its runtime
+power management status will be changed to "active" (as it is going to be put
+into D0 going forward), but if it is in runtime suspend in pci_pm_thaw_noirq(),
+the function will set the power.direct_complete flag for it (to make the PM core
+skip the subsequent "thaw" callbacks for it) and return.
+
+Setting the DPM_FLAG_LEAVE_SUSPENDED flag means that the driver prefers the
+device to be left in suspend after system-wide transitions to the working state.
+This flag is checked by the PM core, but the PCI bus type informs the PM core
+which devices may be left in suspend from its perspective (that happens during
+the "noirq" phase of system-wide suspend and analogous transitions) and next it
+uses the dev_pm_may_skip_resume() helper to decide whether or not to return from
+pci_pm_resume_noirq() early, as the PM core will skip the remaining resume
+callbacks for the device during the transition under way and will set its
+runtime PM status to "suspended" if dev_pm_may_skip_resume() returns "true" for
+it.
+
+3.2. Device Runtime Power Management
+------------------------------------
+In addition to providing device power management callbacks PCI device drivers
+are responsible for controlling the runtime power management (runtime PM) of
+their devices.
+
+The PCI device runtime PM is optional, but it is recommended that PCI device
+drivers implement it at least in the cases where there is a reliable way of
+verifying that the device is not used (like when the network cable is detached
+from an Ethernet adapter or there are no devices attached to a USB controller).
+
+To support the PCI runtime PM the driver first needs to implement the
+runtime_suspend() and runtime_resume() callbacks.  It also may need to implement
+the runtime_idle() callback to prevent the device from being suspended again
+every time right after the runtime_resume() callback has returned
+(alternatively, the runtime_suspend() callback will have to check if the
+device should really be suspended and return -EAGAIN if that is not the case).
+
+The runtime PM of PCI devices is enabled by default by the PCI core.  PCI
+device drivers do not need to enable it and should not attempt to do so.
+However, it is blocked by pci_pm_init() that runs the pm_runtime_forbid()
+helper function.  In addition to that, the runtime PM usage counter of
+each PCI device is incremented by local_pci_probe() before executing the
+probe callback provided by the device's driver.
+
+If a PCI driver implements the runtime PM callbacks and intends to use the
+runtime PM framework provided by the PM core and the PCI subsystem, it needs
+to decrement the device's runtime PM usage counter in its probe callback
+function.  If it doesn't do that, the counter will always be different from
+zero for the device and it will never be runtime-suspended.  The simplest
+way to do that is by calling pm_runtime_put_noidle(), but if the driver
+wants to schedule an autosuspend right away, for example, it may call
+pm_runtime_put_autosuspend() instead for this purpose.  Generally, it
+just needs to call a function that decrements the devices usage counter
+from its probe routine to make runtime PM work for the device.
+
+It is important to remember that the driver's runtime_suspend() callback
+may be executed right after the usage counter has been decremented, because
+user space may already have caused the pm_runtime_allow() helper function
+unblocking the runtime PM of the device to run via sysfs, so the driver must
+be prepared to cope with that.
+
+The driver itself should not call pm_runtime_allow(), though.  Instead, it
+should let user space or some platform-specific code do that (user space can
+do it via sysfs as stated above), but it must be prepared to handle the
+runtime PM of the device correctly as soon as pm_runtime_allow() is called
+(which may happen at any time, even before the driver is loaded).
+
+When the driver's remove callback runs, it has to balance the decrementation
+of the device's runtime PM usage counter at the probe time.  For this reason,
+if it has decremented the counter in its probe callback, it must run
+pm_runtime_get_noresume() in its remove callback.  [Since the core carries
+out a runtime resume of the device and bumps up the device's usage counter
+before running the driver's remove callback, the runtime PM of the device
+is effectively disabled for the duration of the remove execution and all
+runtime PM helper functions incrementing the device's usage counter are
+then effectively equivalent to pm_runtime_get_noresume().]
+
+The runtime PM framework works by processing requests to suspend or resume
+devices, or to check if they are idle (in which cases it is reasonable to
+subsequently request that they be suspended).  These requests are represented
+by work items put into the power management workqueue, pm_wq.  Although there
+are a few situations in which power management requests are automatically
+queued by the PM core (for example, after processing a request to resume a
+device the PM core automatically queues a request to check if the device is
+idle), device drivers are generally responsible for queuing power management
+requests for their devices.  For this purpose they should use the runtime PM
+helper functions provided by the PM core, discussed in
+Documentation/power/runtime_pm.txt.
+
+Devices can also be suspended and resumed synchronously, without placing a
+request into pm_wq.  In the majority of cases this also is done by their
+drivers that use helper functions provided by the PM core for this purpose.
+
+For more information on the runtime PM of devices refer to
+Documentation/power/runtime_pm.txt.

+PM Quality Of Service Interface.
+
+This interface provides a kernel and user mode interface for registering
+performance expectations by drivers, subsystems and user space applications on
+one of the parameters.
+
+Two different PM QoS frameworks are available:
+1. PM QoS classes for cpu_dma_latency, network_latency, network_throughput,
+memory_bandwidth.
+2. the per-device PM QoS framework provides the API to manage the per-device latency
+constraints and PM QoS flags.
+
+Each parameters have defined units:
+ * latency: usec
+ * timeout: usec
+ * throughput: kbs (kilo bit / sec)
+ * memory bandwidth: mbs (mega bit / sec)
+
+
+1. PM QoS framework
+
+The infrastructure exposes multiple misc device nodes one per implemented
+parameter.  The set of parameters implement is defined by pm_qos_power_init()
+and pm_qos_params.h.  This is done because having the available parameters
+being runtime configurable or changeable from a driver was seen as too easy to
+abuse.
+
+For each parameter a list of performance requests is maintained along with
+an aggregated target value.  The aggregated target value is updated with
+changes to the request list or elements of the list.  Typically the
+aggregated target value is simply the max or min of the request values held
+in the parameter list elements.
+Note: the aggregated target value is implemented as an atomic variable so that
+reading the aggregated value does not require any locking mechanism.
+
+
+From kernel mode the use of this interface is simple:
+
+void pm_qos_add_request(handle, param_class, target_value):
+Will insert an element into the list for that identified PM QoS class with the
+target value.  Upon change to this list the new target is recomputed and any
+registered notifiers are called only if the target value is now different.
+Clients of pm_qos need to save the returned handle for future use in other
+pm_qos API functions.
+
+void pm_qos_update_request(handle, new_target_value):
+Will update the list element pointed to by the handle with the new target value
+and recompute the new aggregated target, calling the notification tree if the
+target is changed.
+
+void pm_qos_remove_request(handle):
+Will remove the element.  After removal it will update the aggregate target and
+call the notification tree if the target was changed as a result of removing
+the request.
+
+int pm_qos_request(param_class):
+Returns the aggregated value for a given PM QoS class.
+
+int pm_qos_request_active(handle):
+Returns if the request is still active, i.e. it has not been removed from a
+PM QoS class constraints list.
+
+int pm_qos_add_notifier(param_class, notifier):
+Adds a notification callback function to the PM QoS class. The callback is
+called when the aggregated value for the PM QoS class is changed.
+
+int pm_qos_remove_notifier(int param_class, notifier):
+Removes the notification callback function for the PM QoS class.
+
+
+From user mode:
+Only processes can register a pm_qos request.  To provide for automatic
+cleanup of a process, the interface requires the process to register its
+parameter requests in the following way:
+
+To register the default pm_qos target for the specific parameter, the process
+must open one of /dev/[cpu_dma_latency, network_latency, network_throughput]
+
+As long as the device node is held open that process has a registered
+request on the parameter.
+
+To change the requested target value the process needs to write an s32 value to
+the open device node.  Alternatively the user mode program could write a hex
+string for the value using 10 char long format e.g. "0x12345678".  This
+translates to a pm_qos_update_request call.
+
+To remove the user mode request for a target value simply close the device
+node.
+
+
+2. PM QoS per-device latency and flags framework
+
+For each device, there are three lists of PM QoS requests. Two of them are
+maintained along with the aggregated targets of resume latency and active
+state latency tolerance (in microseconds) and the third one is for PM QoS flags.
+Values are updated in response to changes of the request list.
+
+The target values of resume latency and active state latency tolerance are
+simply the minimum of the request values held in the parameter list elements.
+The PM QoS flags aggregate value is a gather (bitwise OR) of all list elements'
+values.  One device PM QoS flag is defined currently: PM_QOS_FLAG_NO_POWER_OFF.
+
+Note: The aggregated target values are implemented in such a way that reading
+the aggregated value does not require any locking mechanism.
+
+
+From kernel mode the use of this interface is the following:
+
+int dev_pm_qos_add_request(device, handle, type, value):
+Will insert an element into the list for that identified device with the
+target value.  Upon change to this list the new target is recomputed and any
+registered notifiers are called only if the target value is now different.
+Clients of dev_pm_qos need to save the handle for future use in other
+dev_pm_qos API functions.
+
+int dev_pm_qos_update_request(handle, new_value):
+Will update the list element pointed to by the handle with the new target value
+and recompute the new aggregated target, calling the notification trees if the
+target is changed.
+
+int dev_pm_qos_remove_request(handle):
+Will remove the element.  After removal it will update the aggregate target and
+call the notification trees if the target was changed as a result of removing
+the request.
+
+s32 dev_pm_qos_read_value(device):
+Returns the aggregated value for a given device's constraints list.
+
+enum pm_qos_flags_status dev_pm_qos_flags(device, mask)
+Check PM QoS flags of the given device against the given mask of flags.
+The meaning of the return values is as follows:
+	PM_QOS_FLAGS_ALL: All flags from the mask are set
+	PM_QOS_FLAGS_SOME: Some flags from the mask are set
+	PM_QOS_FLAGS_NONE: No flags from the mask are set
+	PM_QOS_FLAGS_UNDEFINED: The device's PM QoS structure has not been
+			initialized or the list of requests is empty.
+
+int dev_pm_qos_add_ancestor_request(dev, handle, type, value)
+Add a PM QoS request for the first direct ancestor of the given device whose
+power.ignore_children flag is unset (for DEV_PM_QOS_RESUME_LATENCY requests)
+or whose power.set_latency_tolerance callback pointer is not NULL (for
+DEV_PM_QOS_LATENCY_TOLERANCE requests).
+
+int dev_pm_qos_expose_latency_limit(device, value)
+Add a request to the device's PM QoS list of resume latency constraints and
+create a sysfs attribute pm_qos_resume_latency_us under the device's power
+directory allowing user space to manipulate that request.
+
+void dev_pm_qos_hide_latency_limit(device)
+Drop the request added by dev_pm_qos_expose_latency_limit() from the device's
+PM QoS list of resume latency constraints and remove sysfs attribute
+pm_qos_resume_latency_us from the device's power directory.
+
+int dev_pm_qos_expose_flags(device, value)
+Add a request to the device's PM QoS list of flags and create sysfs attribute
+pm_qos_no_power_off under the device's power directory allowing user space to
+change the value of the PM_QOS_FLAG_NO_POWER_OFF flag.
+
+void dev_pm_qos_hide_flags(device)
+Drop the request added by dev_pm_qos_expose_flags() from the device's PM QoS list
+of flags and remove sysfs attribute pm_qos_no_power_off from the device's power
+directory.
+
+Notification mechanisms:
+The per-device PM QoS framework has a per-device notification tree.
+
+int dev_pm_qos_add_notifier(device, notifier):
+Adds a notification callback function for the device.
+The callback is called when the aggregated value of the device constraints list
+is changed (for resume latency device PM QoS only).
+
+int dev_pm_qos_remove_notifier(device, notifier):
+Removes the notification callback function for the device.
+
+
+Active state latency tolerance
+
+This device PM QoS type is used to support systems in which hardware may switch
+to energy-saving operation modes on the fly.  In those systems, if the operation
+mode chosen by the hardware attempts to save energy in an overly aggressive way,
+it may cause excess latencies to be visible to software, causing it to miss
+certain protocol requirements or target frame or sample rates etc.
+
+If there is a latency tolerance control mechanism for a given device available
+to software, the .set_latency_tolerance callback in that device's dev_pm_info
+structure should be populated.  The routine pointed to by it is should implement
+whatever is necessary to transfer the effective requirement value to the
+hardware.
+
+Whenever the effective latency tolerance changes for the device, its
+.set_latency_tolerance() callback will be executed and the effective value will
+be passed to it.  If that value is negative, which means that the list of
+latency tolerance requirements for the device is empty, the callback is expected
+to switch the underlying hardware latency tolerance control mechanism to an
+autonomous mode if available.  If that value is PM_QOS_LATENCY_ANY, in turn, and
+the hardware supports a special "no requirement" setting, the callback is
+expected to use it.  That allows software to prevent the hardware from
+automatically updating the device's latency tolerance in response to its power
+state changes (e.g. during transitions from D3cold to D0), which generally may
+be done in the autonomous latency tolerance control mode.
+
+If .set_latency_tolerance() is present for the device, sysfs attribute
+pm_qos_latency_tolerance_us will be present in the devivce's power directory.
+Then, user space can use that attribute to specify its latency tolerance
+requirement for the device, if any.  Writing "any" to it means "no requirement,
+but do not let the hardware control latency tolerance" and writing "auto" to it
+allows the hardware to be switched to the autonomous mode if there are no other
+requirements from the kernel side in the device's list.
+
+Kernel code can use the functions described above along with the
+DEV_PM_QOS_LATENCY_TOLERANCE device PM QoS type to add, remove and update
+latency tolerance requirements for devices.

+Linux power supply class
+========================
+
+Synopsis
+~~~~~~~~
+Power supply class used to represent battery, UPS, AC or DC power supply
+properties to user-space.
+
+It defines core set of attributes, which should be applicable to (almost)
+every power supply out there. Attributes are available via sysfs and uevent
+interfaces.
+
+Each attribute has well defined meaning, up to unit of measure used. While
+the attributes provided are believed to be universally applicable to any
+power supply, specific monitoring hardware may not be able to provide them
+all, so any of them may be skipped.
+
+Power supply class is extensible, and allows to define drivers own attributes.
+The core attribute set is subject to the standard Linux evolution (i.e.
+if it will be found that some attribute is applicable to many power supply
+types or their drivers, it can be added to the core set).
+
+It also integrates with LED framework, for the purpose of providing
+typically expected feedback of battery charging/fully charged status and
+AC/USB power supply online status. (Note that specific details of the
+indication (including whether to use it at all) are fully controllable by
+user and/or specific machine defaults, per design principles of LED
+framework).
+
+
+Attributes/properties
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+Power supply class has predefined set of attributes, this eliminates code
+duplication across drivers. Power supply class insist on reusing its
+predefined attributes *and* their units.
+
+So, userspace gets predictable set of attributes and their units for any
+kind of power supply, and can process/present them to a user in consistent
+manner. Results for different power supplies and machines are also directly
+comparable.
+
+See drivers/power/supply/ds2760_battery.c and drivers/power/supply/pda_power.c
+for the example how to declare and handle attributes.
+
+
+Units
+~~~~~
+Quoting include/linux/power_supply.h:
+
+  All voltages, currents, charges, energies, time and temperatures in µV,
+  µA, µAh, µWh, seconds and tenths of degree Celsius unless otherwise
+  stated. It's driver's job to convert its raw values to units in which
+  this class operates.
+
+
+Attributes/properties detailed
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

+~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~  Charge/Energy/Capacity - how to not confuse  ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
+~                                                                       ~
+~ Because both "charge" (µAh) and "energy" (µWh) represents "capacity"  ~
+~ of battery, this class distinguish these terms. Don't mix them!       ~

+
+Postfixes:
+_AVG - *hardware* averaged value, use it if your hardware is really able to
+report averaged values.
+_NOW - momentary/instantaneous values.
+
+STATUS - this attribute represents operating status (charging, full,
+discharging (i.e. powering a load), etc.). This corresponds to
+BATTERY_STATUS_* values, as defined in battery.h.
+
+CHARGE_TYPE - batteries can typically charge at different rates.
+This defines trickle and fast charges.  For batteries that
+are already charged or discharging, 'n/a' can be displayed (or
+'unknown', if the status is not known).
+
+AUTHENTIC - indicates the power supply (battery or charger) connected
+to the platform is authentic(1) or non authentic(0).
+
+HEALTH - represents health of the battery, values corresponds to
+POWER_SUPPLY_HEALTH_*, defined in battery.h.
+
+VOLTAGE_OCV - open circuit voltage of the battery.
+
+VOLTAGE_MAX_DESIGN, VOLTAGE_MIN_DESIGN - design values for maximal and
+minimal power supply voltages. Maximal/minimal means values of voltages
+when battery considered "full"/"empty" at normal conditions. Yes, there is
+no direct relation between voltage and battery capacity, but some dumb
+batteries use voltage for very approximated calculation of capacity.
+Battery driver also can use this attribute just to inform userspace
+about maximal and minimal voltage thresholds of a given battery.
+
+VOLTAGE_MAX, VOLTAGE_MIN - same as _DESIGN voltage values except that
+these ones should be used if hardware could only guess (measure and
+retain) the thresholds of a given power supply.
+
+VOLTAGE_BOOT - Reports the voltage measured during boot
+
+CURRENT_BOOT - Reports the current measured during boot
+
+CHARGE_FULL_DESIGN, CHARGE_EMPTY_DESIGN - design charge values, when
+battery considered full/empty.
+
+ENERGY_FULL_DESIGN, ENERGY_EMPTY_DESIGN - same as above but for energy.
+
+CHARGE_FULL, CHARGE_EMPTY - These attributes means "last remembered value
+of charge when battery became full/empty". It also could mean "value of
+charge when battery considered full/empty at given conditions (temperature,
+age)". I.e. these attributes represents real thresholds, not design values.
+
+ENERGY_FULL, ENERGY_EMPTY - same as above but for energy.
+
+CHARGE_COUNTER - the current charge counter (in µAh).  This could easily
+be negative; there is no empty or full value.  It is only useful for
+relative, time-based measurements.
+
+PRECHARGE_CURRENT - the maximum charge current during precharge phase
+of charge cycle (typically 20% of battery capacity).
+CHARGE_TERM_CURRENT - Charge termination current. The charge cycle
+terminates when battery voltage is above recharge threshold, and charge
+current is below this setting (typically 10% of battery capacity).
+
+CONSTANT_CHARGE_CURRENT - constant charge current programmed by charger.
+CONSTANT_CHARGE_CURRENT_MAX - maximum charge current supported by the
+power supply object.
+
+CONSTANT_CHARGE_VOLTAGE - constant charge voltage programmed by charger.
+CONSTANT_CHARGE_VOLTAGE_MAX - maximum charge voltage supported by the
+power supply object.
+
+INPUT_CURRENT_LIMIT - input current limit programmed by charger. Indicates
+the current drawn from a charging source.
+
+CHARGE_CONTROL_LIMIT - current charge control limit setting
+CHARGE_CONTROL_LIMIT_MAX - maximum charge control limit setting
+
+CALIBRATE - battery or coulomb counter calibration status
+
+CAPACITY - capacity in percents.
+CAPACITY_ALERT_MIN - minimum capacity alert value in percents.
+CAPACITY_ALERT_MAX - maximum capacity alert value in percents.
+CAPACITY_LEVEL - capacity level. This corresponds to
+POWER_SUPPLY_CAPACITY_LEVEL_*.
+
+TEMP - temperature of the power supply.
+TEMP_ALERT_MIN - minimum battery temperature alert.
+TEMP_ALERT_MAX - maximum battery temperature alert.
+TEMP_AMBIENT - ambient temperature.
+TEMP_AMBIENT_ALERT_MIN - minimum ambient temperature alert.
+TEMP_AMBIENT_ALERT_MAX - maximum ambient temperature alert.
+TEMP_MIN - minimum operatable temperature
+TEMP_MAX - maximum operatable temperature
+
+TIME_TO_EMPTY - seconds left for battery to be considered empty (i.e.
+while battery powers a load)
+TIME_TO_FULL - seconds left for battery to be considered full (i.e.
+while battery is charging)
+
+
+Battery <-> external power supply interaction
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+Often power supplies are acting as supplies and supplicants at the same
+time. Batteries are good example. So, batteries usually care if they're
+externally powered or not.
+
+For that case, power supply class implements notification mechanism for
+batteries.
+
+External power supply (AC) lists supplicants (batteries) names in
+"supplied_to" struct member, and each power_supply_changed() call
+issued by external power supply will notify supplicants via
+external_power_changed callback.
+
+
+Devicetree battery characteristics
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+Drivers should call power_supply_get_battery_info() to obtain battery
+characteristics from a devicetree battery node, defined in
+Documentation/devicetree/bindings/power/supply/battery.txt. This is
+implemented in drivers/power/supply/bq27xxx_battery.c.
+
+Properties in struct power_supply_battery_info and their counterparts in the
+battery node have names corresponding to elements in enum power_supply_property,
+for naming consistency between sysfs attributes and battery node properties.
+
+
+QA
+~~
+Q: Where is POWER_SUPPLY_PROP_XYZ attribute?
+A: If you cannot find attribute suitable for your driver needs, feel free
+   to add it and send patch along with your driver.
+
+   The attributes available currently are the ones currently provided by the
+   drivers written.
+
+   Good candidates to add in future: model/part#, cycle_time, manufacturer,
+   etc.
+
+
+Q: I have some very specific attribute (e.g. battery color), should I add
+   this attribute to standard ones?
+A: Most likely, no. Such attribute can be placed in the driver itself, if
+   it is useful. Of course, if the attribute in question applicable to
+   large set of batteries, provided by many drivers, and/or comes from
+   some general battery specification/standard, it may be a candidate to
+   be added to the core attribute set.
+
+
+Q: Suppose, my battery monitoring chip/firmware does not provides capacity
+   in percents, but provides charge_{now,full,empty}. Should I calculate
+   percentage capacity manually, inside the driver, and register CAPACITY
+   attribute? The same question about time_to_empty/time_to_full.
+A: Most likely, no. This class is designed to export properties which are
+   directly measurable by the specific hardware available.
+
+   Inferring not available properties using some heuristics or mathematical
+   model is not subject of work for a battery driver. Such functionality
+   should be factored out, and in fact, apm_power, the driver to serve
+   legacy APM API on top of power supply class, uses a simple heuristic of
+   approximating remaining battery capacity based on its charge, current,
+   voltage and so on. But full-fledged battery model is likely not subject
+   for kernel at all, as it would require floating point calculation to deal
+   with things like differential equations and Kalman filters. This is
+   better be handled by batteryd/libbattery, yet to be written.

+Power Capping Framework
+==================================
+
+The power capping framework provides a consistent interface between the kernel
+and the user space that allows power capping drivers to expose the settings to
+user space in a uniform way.
+
+Terminology
+=========================
+The framework exposes power capping devices to user space via sysfs in the
+form of a tree of objects. The objects at the root level of the tree represent
+'control types', which correspond to different methods of power capping.  For
+example, the intel-rapl control type represents the Intel "Running Average
+Power Limit" (RAPL) technology, whereas the 'idle-injection' control type
+corresponds to the use of idle injection for controlling power.
+
+Power zones represent different parts of the system, which can be controlled and
+monitored using the power capping method determined by the control type the
+given zone belongs to. They each contain attributes for monitoring power, as
+well as controls represented in the form of power constraints.  If the parts of
+the system represented by different power zones are hierarchical (that is, one
+bigger part consists of multiple smaller parts that each have their own power
+controls), those power zones may also be organized in a hierarchy with one
+parent power zone containing multiple subzones and so on to reflect the power
+control topology of the system.  In that case, it is possible to apply power
+capping to a set of devices together using the parent power zone and if more
+fine grained control is required, it can be applied through the subzones.
+
+
+Example sysfs interface tree:
+
+/sys/devices/virtual/powercap

+The above example illustrates a case in which the Intel RAPL technology,
+available in Intel® IA-64 and IA-32 Processor Architectures, is used. There is one
+control type called intel-rapl which contains two power zones, intel-rapl:0 and
+intel-rapl:1, representing CPU packages.  Each of these power zones contains
+two subzones, intel-rapl:j:0 and intel-rapl:j:1 (j = 0, 1), representing the
+"core" and the "uncore" parts of the given CPU package, respectively.  All of
+the zones and subzones contain energy monitoring attributes (energy_uj,
+max_energy_range_uj) and constraint attributes (constraint_*) allowing controls
+to be applied (the constraints in the 'package' power zones apply to the whole
+CPU packages and the subzone constraints only apply to the respective parts of
+the given package individually). Since Intel RAPL doesn't provide instantaneous
+power value, there is no power_uw attribute.
+
+In addition to that, each power zone contains a name attribute, allowing the
+part of the system represented by that zone to be identified.
+For example:
+
+cat /sys/class/power_cap/intel-rapl/intel-rapl:0/name
+package-0
+
+The Intel RAPL technology allows two constraints, short term and long term,
+with two different time windows to be applied to each power zone.  Thus for
+each zone there are 2 attributes representing the constraint names, 2 power
+limits and 2 attributes representing the sizes of the time windows. Such that,
+constraint_j_* attributes correspond to the jth constraint (j = 0,1).
+
+For example:
+	constraint_0_name
+	constraint_0_power_limit_uw
+	constraint_0_time_window_us
+	constraint_1_name
+	constraint_1_power_limit_uw
+	constraint_1_time_window_us
+
+Power Zone Attributes
+=================================
+Monitoring attributes
+----------------------
+
+energy_uj (rw): Current energy counter in micro joules. Write "0" to reset.
+If the counter can not be reset, then this attribute is read only.
+
+max_energy_range_uj (ro): Range of the above energy counter in micro-joules.
+
+power_uw (ro): Current power in micro watts.
+
+max_power_range_uw (ro): Range of the above power value in micro-watts.
+
+name (ro): Name of this power zone.
+
+It is possible that some domains have both power ranges and energy counter ranges;
+however, only one is mandatory.
+
+Constraints
+----------------
+constraint_X_power_limit_uw (rw): Power limit in micro watts, which should be
+applicable for the time window specified by "constraint_X_time_window_us".
+
+constraint_X_time_window_us (rw): Time window in micro seconds.
+
+constraint_X_name (ro): An optional name of the constraint
+
+constraint_X_max_power_uw(ro): Maximum allowed power in micro watts.
+
+constraint_X_min_power_uw(ro): Minimum allowed power in micro watts.
+
+constraint_X_max_time_window_us(ro): Maximum allowed time window in micro seconds.
+
+constraint_X_min_time_window_us(ro): Minimum allowed time window in micro seconds.
+
+Except power_limit_uw and time_window_us other fields are optional.
+
+Common zone and control type attributes
+----------------------------------------
+enabled (rw): Enable/Disable controls at zone level or for all zones using
+a control type.
+
+Power Cap Client Driver Interface
+==================================
+The API summary:
+
+Call powercap_register_control_type() to register control type object.
+Call powercap_register_zone() to register a power zone (under a given
+control type), either as a top-level power zone or as a subzone of another
+power zone registered earlier.
+The number of constraints in a power zone and the corresponding callbacks have
+to be defined prior to calling powercap_register_zone() to register that zone.
+
+To Free a power zone call powercap_unregister_zone().
+To free a control type object call powercap_unregister_control_type().
+Detailed API can be generated using kernel-doc on include/linux/powercap.h.

+Regulator Consumer Driver Interface
+===================================
+
+This text describes the regulator interface for consumer device drivers.
+Please see overview.txt for a description of the terms used in this text.
+
+
+1. Consumer Regulator Access (static & dynamic drivers)
+=======================================================
+
+A consumer driver can get access to its supply regulator by calling :-
+
+regulator = regulator_get(dev, "Vcc");
+
+The consumer passes in its struct device pointer and power supply ID. The core
+then finds the correct regulator by consulting a machine specific lookup table.
+If the lookup is successful then this call will return a pointer to the struct
+regulator that supplies this consumer.
+
+To release the regulator the consumer driver should call :-
+
+regulator_put(regulator);
+
+Consumers can be supplied by more than one regulator e.g. codec consumer with
+analog and digital supplies :-
+
+digital = regulator_get(dev, "Vcc");  /* digital core */
+analog = regulator_get(dev, "Avdd");  /* analog */
+
+The regulator access functions regulator_get() and regulator_put() will
+usually be called in your device drivers probe() and remove() respectively.
+
+
+2. Regulator Output Enable & Disable (static & dynamic drivers)
+====================================================================
+
+A consumer can enable its power supply by calling:-
+
+int regulator_enable(regulator);
+
+NOTE: The supply may already be enabled before regulator_enabled() is called.
+This may happen if the consumer shares the regulator or the regulator has been
+previously enabled by bootloader or kernel board initialization code.
+
+A consumer can determine if a regulator is enabled by calling :-
+
+int regulator_is_enabled(regulator);
+
+This will return > zero when the regulator is enabled.
+
+
+A consumer can disable its supply when no longer needed by calling :-
+
+int regulator_disable(regulator);
+
+NOTE: This may not disable the supply if it's shared with other consumers. The
+regulator will only be disabled when the enabled reference count is zero.
+
+Finally, a regulator can be forcefully disabled in the case of an emergency :-
+
+int regulator_force_disable(regulator);
+
+NOTE: this will immediately and forcefully shutdown the regulator output. All
+consumers will be powered off.
+
+
+3. Regulator Voltage Control & Status (dynamic drivers)
+======================================================
+
+Some consumer drivers need to be able to dynamically change their supply
+voltage to match system operating points. e.g. CPUfreq drivers can scale
+voltage along with frequency to save power, SD drivers may need to select the
+correct card voltage, etc.
+
+Consumers can control their supply voltage by calling :-
+
+int regulator_set_voltage(regulator, min_uV, max_uV);
+
+Where min_uV and max_uV are the minimum and maximum acceptable voltages in
+microvolts.
+
+NOTE: this can be called when the regulator is enabled or disabled. If called
+when enabled, then the voltage changes instantly, otherwise the voltage
+configuration changes and the voltage is physically set when the regulator is
+next enabled.
+
+The regulators configured voltage output can be found by calling :-
+
+int regulator_get_voltage(regulator);
+
+NOTE: get_voltage() will return the configured output voltage whether the
+regulator is enabled or disabled and should NOT be used to determine regulator
+output state. However this can be used in conjunction with is_enabled() to
+determine the regulator physical output voltage.
+
+
+4. Regulator Current Limit Control & Status (dynamic drivers)
+===========================================================
+
+Some consumer drivers need to be able to dynamically change their supply
+current limit to match system operating points. e.g. LCD backlight driver can
+change the current limit to vary the backlight brightness, USB drivers may want
+to set the limit to 500mA when supplying power.
+
+Consumers can control their supply current limit by calling :-
+
+int regulator_set_current_limit(regulator, min_uA, max_uA);
+
+Where min_uA and max_uA are the minimum and maximum acceptable current limit in
+microamps.
+
+NOTE: this can be called when the regulator is enabled or disabled. If called
+when enabled, then the current limit changes instantly, otherwise the current
+limit configuration changes and the current limit is physically set when the
+regulator is next enabled.
+
+A regulators current limit can be found by calling :-
+
+int regulator_get_current_limit(regulator);
+
+NOTE: get_current_limit() will return the current limit whether the regulator
+is enabled or disabled and should not be used to determine regulator current
+load.
+
+
+5. Regulator Operating Mode Control & Status (dynamic drivers)
+=============================================================
+
+Some consumers can further save system power by changing the operating mode of
+their supply regulator to be more efficient when the consumers operating state
+changes. e.g. consumer driver is idle and subsequently draws less current
+
+Regulator operating mode can be changed indirectly or directly.
+
+Indirect operating mode control.
+--------------------------------
+Consumer drivers can request a change in their supply regulator operating mode
+by calling :-
+
+int regulator_set_load(struct regulator *regulator, int load_uA);
+
+This will cause the core to recalculate the total load on the regulator (based
+on all its consumers) and change operating mode (if necessary and permitted)
+to best match the current operating load.
+
+The load_uA value can be determined from the consumer's datasheet. e.g. most
+datasheets have tables showing the maximum current consumed in certain
+situations.
+
+Most consumers will use indirect operating mode control since they have no
+knowledge of the regulator or whether the regulator is shared with other
+consumers.
+
+Direct operating mode control.
+------------------------------
+Bespoke or tightly coupled drivers may want to directly control regulator
+operating mode depending on their operating point. This can be achieved by
+calling :-
+
+int regulator_set_mode(struct regulator *regulator, unsigned int mode);
+unsigned int regulator_get_mode(struct regulator *regulator);
+
+Direct mode will only be used by consumers that *know* about the regulator and
+are not sharing the regulator with other consumers.
+
+
+6. Regulator Events
+===================
+Regulators can notify consumers of external events. Events could be received by
+consumers under regulator stress or failure conditions.
+
+Consumers can register interest in regulator events by calling :-
+
+int regulator_register_notifier(struct regulator *regulator,
+			      struct notifier_block *nb);
+
+Consumers can unregister interest by calling :-
+
+int regulator_unregister_notifier(struct regulator *regulator,
+				struct notifier_block *nb);
+
+Regulators use the kernel notifier framework to send event to their interested
+consumers.
+
+7. Regulator Direct Register Access
+===================================
+Some kinds of power management hardware or firmware are designed such that
+they need to do low-level hardware access to regulators, with no involvement
+from the kernel. Examples of such devices are:
+
+- clocksource with a voltage-controlled oscillator and control logic to change
+  the supply voltage over I2C to achieve a desired output clock rate
+- thermal management firmware that can issue an arbitrary I2C transaction to
+  perform system poweroff during overtemperature conditions
+
+To set up such a device/firmware, various parameters like I2C address of the
+regulator, addresses of various regulator registers etc. need to be configured
+to it. The regulator framework provides the following helpers for querying
+these details.
+
+Bus-specific details, like I2C addresses or transfer rates are handled by the
+regmap framework. To get the regulator's regmap (if supported), use :-
+
+struct regmap *regulator_get_regmap(struct regulator *regulator);
+
+To obtain the hardware register offset and bitmask for the regulator's voltage
+selector register, use :-
+
+int regulator_get_hardware_vsel_register(struct regulator *regulator,
+					 unsigned *vsel_reg,
+					 unsigned *vsel_mask);
+
+To convert a regulator framework voltage selector code (used by
+regulator_list_voltage) to a hardware-specific voltage selector that can be
+directly written to the voltage selector register, use :-
+
+int regulator_list_hardware_vsel(struct regulator *regulator,
+				 unsigned selector);

+Regulator API design notes
+==========================
+
+This document provides a brief, partially structured, overview of some
+of the design considerations which impact the regulator API design.
+
+Safety
+------
+
+ - Errors in regulator configuration can have very serious consequences
+   for the system, potentially including lasting hardware damage.
+ - It is not possible to automatically determine the power configuration
+   of the system - software-equivalent variants of the same chip may
+   have different power requirements, and not all components with power
+   requirements are visible to software.
+
+  => The API should make no changes to the hardware state unless it has
+     specific knowledge that these changes are safe to perform on this
+     particular system.
+
+Consumer use cases
+------------------
+
+ - The overwhelming majority of devices in a system will have no
+   requirement to do any runtime configuration of their power beyond
+   being able to turn it on or off.
+
+ - Many of the power supplies in the system will be shared between many
+   different consumers.
+
+  => The consumer API should be structured so that these use cases are
+     very easy to handle and so that consumers will work with shared
+     supplies without any additional effort.

+Regulator Machine Driver Interface
+===================================
+
+The regulator machine driver interface is intended for board/machine specific
+initialisation code to configure the regulator subsystem.
+
+Consider the following machine :-
+
+  Regulator-1 -+-> Regulator-2 --> [Consumer A @ 1.8 - 2.0V]
+               |
+               +-> [Consumer B @ 3.3V]
+
+The drivers for consumers A & B must be mapped to the correct regulator in
+order to control their power supplies. This mapping can be achieved in machine
+initialisation code by creating a struct regulator_consumer_supply for
+each regulator.
+
+struct regulator_consumer_supply {
+	const char *dev_name;	/* consumer dev_name() */
+	const char *supply;	/* consumer supply - e.g. "vcc" */
+};
+
+e.g. for the machine above
+
+static struct regulator_consumer_supply regulator1_consumers[] = {
+	REGULATOR_SUPPLY("Vcc", "consumer B"),
+};
+
+static struct regulator_consumer_supply regulator2_consumers[] = {
+	REGULATOR_SUPPLY("Vcc", "consumer A"),
+};
+
+This maps Regulator-1 to the 'Vcc' supply for Consumer B and maps Regulator-2
+to the 'Vcc' supply for Consumer A.
+
+Constraints can now be registered by defining a struct regulator_init_data
+for each regulator power domain. This structure also maps the consumers
+to their supply regulators :-
+
+static struct regulator_init_data regulator1_data = {
+	.constraints = {
+		.name = "Regulator-1",
+		.min_uV = 3300000,
+		.max_uV = 3300000,
+		.valid_modes_mask = REGULATOR_MODE_NORMAL,
+	},
+	.num_consumer_supplies = ARRAY_SIZE(regulator1_consumers),
+	.consumer_supplies = regulator1_consumers,
+};
+
+The name field should be set to something that is usefully descriptive
+for the board for configuration of supplies for other regulators and
+for use in logging and other diagnostic output.  Normally the name
+used for the supply rail in the schematic is a good choice.  If no
+name is provided then the subsystem will choose one.
+
+Regulator-1 supplies power to Regulator-2. This relationship must be registered
+with the core so that Regulator-1 is also enabled when Consumer A enables its
+supply (Regulator-2). The supply regulator is set by the supply_regulator
+field below and co:-
+
+static struct regulator_init_data regulator2_data = {
+	.supply_regulator = "Regulator-1",
+	.constraints = {
+		.min_uV = 1800000,
+		.max_uV = 2000000,
+		.valid_ops_mask = REGULATOR_CHANGE_VOLTAGE,
+		.valid_modes_mask = REGULATOR_MODE_NORMAL,
+	},
+	.num_consumer_supplies = ARRAY_SIZE(regulator2_consumers),
+	.consumer_supplies = regulator2_consumers,
+};
+
+Finally the regulator devices must be registered in the usual manner.
+
+static struct platform_device regulator_devices[] = {
+	{
+		.name = "regulator",
+		.id = DCDC_1,
+		.dev = {
+			.platform_data = &regulator1_data,
+		},
+	},
+	{
+		.name = "regulator",
+		.id = DCDC_2,
+		.dev = {
+			.platform_data = &regulator2_data,
+		},
+	},
+};
+/* register regulator 1 device */
+platform_device_register(&regulator_devices[0]);
+
+/* register regulator 2 device */
+platform_device_register(&regulator_devices[1]);

+Linux voltage and current regulator framework
+=============================================
+
+About
+=====
+
+This framework is designed to provide a standard kernel interface to control
+voltage and current regulators.
+
+The intention is to allow systems to dynamically control regulator power output
+in order to save power and prolong battery life. This applies to both voltage
+regulators (where voltage output is controllable) and current sinks (where
+current limit is controllable).
+
+(C) 2008  Wolfson Microelectronics PLC.
+Author: Liam Girdwood <lrg@slimlogic.co.uk>
+
+
+Nomenclature
+============
+
+Some terms used in this document:-
+
+  o Regulator    - Electronic device that supplies power to other devices.
+                   Most regulators can enable and disable their output whilst
+                   some can control their output voltage and or current.
+
+                   Input Voltage -> Regulator -> Output Voltage
+
+
+  o PMIC         - Power Management IC. An IC that contains numerous regulators
+                   and often contains other subsystems.
+
+
+  o Consumer     - Electronic device that is supplied power by a regulator.
+                   Consumers can be classified into two types:-
+
+                   Static: consumer does not change its supply voltage or
+                   current limit. It only needs to enable or disable its
+                   power supply. Its supply voltage is set by the hardware,
+                   bootloader, firmware or kernel board initialisation code.
+
+                   Dynamic: consumer needs to change its supply voltage or
+                   current limit to meet operation demands.
+
+
+  o Power Domain - Electronic circuit that is supplied its input power by the
+                   output power of a regulator, switch or by another power
+                   domain.
+
+                   The supply regulator may be behind a switch(s). i.e.
+
+                   Regulator -+-> Switch-1 -+-> Switch-2 --> [Consumer A]
+                              |             |
+                              |             +-> [Consumer B], [Consumer C]
+                              |
+                              +-> [Consumer D], [Consumer E]
+
+                   That is one regulator and three power domains:
+
+                   Domain 1: Switch-1, Consumers D & E.
+                   Domain 2: Switch-2, Consumers B & C.
+                   Domain 3: Consumer A.
+
+                   and this represents a "supplies" relationship:
+
+                   Domain-1 --> Domain-2 --> Domain-3.
+
+                   A power domain may have regulators that are supplied power
+                   by other regulators. i.e.
+
+                   Regulator-1 -+-> Regulator-2 -+-> [Consumer A]
+                                |
+                                +-> [Consumer B]
+
+                   This gives us two regulators and two power domains:
+
+                   Domain 1: Regulator-2, Consumer B.
+                   Domain 2: Consumer A.
+
+                   and a "supplies" relationship:
+
+                   Domain-1 --> Domain-2
+
+
+  o Constraints  - Constraints are used to define power levels for performance
+                   and hardware protection. Constraints exist at three levels:
+
+                   Regulator Level: This is defined by the regulator hardware
+                   operating parameters and is specified in the regulator
+                   datasheet. i.e.
+
+                     - voltage output is in the range 800mV -> 3500mV.
+                     - regulator current output limit is 20mA @ 5V but is
+                       10mA @ 10V.
+
+                   Power Domain Level: This is defined in software by kernel
+                   level board initialisation code. It is used to constrain a
+                   power domain to a particular power range. i.e.
+
+                     - Domain-1 voltage is 3300mV
+                     - Domain-2 voltage is 1400mV -> 1600mV
+                     - Domain-3 current limit is 0mA -> 20mA.
+
+                   Consumer Level: This is defined by consumer drivers
+                   dynamically setting voltage or current limit levels.
+
+                   e.g. a consumer backlight driver asks for a current increase
+                   from 5mA to 10mA to increase LCD illumination. This passes
+                   to through the levels as follows :-
+
+                   Consumer: need to increase LCD brightness. Lookup and
+                   request next current mA value in brightness table (the
+                   consumer driver could be used on several different
+                   personalities based upon the same reference device).
+
+                   Power Domain: is the new current limit within the domain
+                   operating limits for this domain and system state (e.g.
+                   battery power, USB power)
+
+                   Regulator Domains: is the new current limit within the
+                   regulator operating parameters for input/output voltage.
+
+                   If the regulator request passes all the constraint tests
+                   then the new regulator value is applied.
+
+
+Design
+======
+
+The framework is designed and targeted at SoC based devices but may also be
+relevant to non SoC devices and is split into the following four interfaces:-
+
+
+   1. Consumer driver interface.
+
+      This uses a similar API to the kernel clock interface in that consumer
+      drivers can get and put a regulator (like they can with clocks atm) and
+      get/set voltage, current limit, mode, enable and disable. This should
+      allow consumers complete control over their supply voltage and current
+      limit. This also compiles out if not in use so drivers can be reused in
+      systems with no regulator based power control.
+
+        See Documentation/power/regulator/consumer.txt
+
+   2. Regulator driver interface.
+
+      This allows regulator drivers to register their regulators and provide
+      operations to the core. It also has a notifier call chain for propagating
+      regulator events to clients.
+
+        See Documentation/power/regulator/regulator.txt
+
+   3. Machine interface.
+
+      This interface is for machine specific code and allows the creation of
+      voltage/current domains (with constraints) for each regulator. It can
+      provide regulator constraints that will prevent device damage through
+      overvoltage or overcurrent caused by buggy client drivers. It also
+      allows the creation of a regulator tree whereby some regulators are
+      supplied by others (similar to a clock tree).
+
+        See Documentation/power/regulator/machine.txt
+
+   4. Userspace ABI.
+
+      The framework also exports a lot of useful voltage/current/opmode data to
+      userspace via sysfs. This could be used to help monitor device power
+      consumption and status.

+Regulator Driver Interface
+==========================
+
+The regulator driver interface is relatively simple and designed to allow
+regulator drivers to register their services with the core framework.
+
+
+Registration
+============
+
+Drivers can register a regulator by calling :-
+
+struct regulator_dev *regulator_register(struct regulator_desc *regulator_desc,
+					 const struct regulator_config *config);
+
+This will register the regulator's capabilities and operations to the regulator
+core.
+
+Regulators can be unregistered by calling :-
+
+void regulator_unregister(struct regulator_dev *rdev);
+
+
+Regulator Events
+================
+Regulators can send events (e.g. overtemperature, undervoltage, etc) to
+consumer drivers by calling :-
+
+int regulator_notifier_call_chain(struct regulator_dev *rdev,
+				  unsigned long event, void *data);

+Runtime Power Management Framework for I/O Devices

+
+1. Introduction
+
+Support for runtime power management (runtime PM) of I/O devices is provided
+at the power management core (PM core) level by means of:
+
+* The power management workqueue pm_wq in which bus types and device drivers can
+  put their PM-related work items.  It is strongly recommended that pm_wq be
+  used for queuing all work items related to runtime PM, because this allows
+  them to be synchronized with system-wide power transitions (suspend to RAM,
+  hibernation and resume from system sleep states).  pm_wq is declared in
+  include/linux/pm_runtime.h and defined in kernel/power/main.c.
+
+* A number of runtime PM fields in the 'power' member of 'struct device' (which
+  is of the type 'struct dev_pm_info', defined in include/linux/pm.h) that can
+  be used for synchronizing runtime PM operations with one another.
+
+* Three device runtime PM callbacks in 'struct dev_pm_ops' (defined in
+  include/linux/pm.h).
+
+* A set of helper functions defined in drivers/base/power/runtime.c that can be
+  used for carrying out runtime PM operations in such a way that the
+  synchronization between them is taken care of by the PM core.  Bus types and
+  device drivers are encouraged to use these functions.
+
+The runtime PM callbacks present in 'struct dev_pm_ops', the device runtime PM
+fields of 'struct dev_pm_info' and the core helper functions provided for
+runtime PM are described below.
+
+2. Device Runtime PM Callbacks
+
+There are three device runtime PM callbacks defined in 'struct dev_pm_ops':
+
+struct dev_pm_ops {
+	...
+	int (*runtime_suspend)(struct device *dev);
+	int (*runtime_resume)(struct device *dev);
+	int (*runtime_idle)(struct device *dev);
+	...
+};
+
+The ->runtime_suspend(), ->runtime_resume() and ->runtime_idle() callbacks
+are executed by the PM core for the device's subsystem that may be either of
+the following:
+
+  1. PM domain of the device, if the device's PM domain object, dev->pm_domain,
+     is present.
+
+  2. Device type of the device, if both dev->type and dev->type->pm are present.
+
+  3. Device class of the device, if both dev->class and dev->class->pm are
+     present.
+
+  4. Bus type of the device, if both dev->bus and dev->bus->pm are present.
+
+If the subsystem chosen by applying the above rules doesn't provide the relevant
+callback, the PM core will invoke the corresponding driver callback stored in
+dev->driver->pm directly (if present).
+
+The PM core always checks which callback to use in the order given above, so the
+priority order of callbacks from high to low is: PM domain, device type, class
+and bus type.  Moreover, the high-priority one will always take precedence over
+a low-priority one.  The PM domain, bus type, device type and class callbacks
+are referred to as subsystem-level callbacks in what follows.
+
+By default, the callbacks are always invoked in process context with interrupts
+enabled.  However, the pm_runtime_irq_safe() helper function can be used to tell
+the PM core that it is safe to run the ->runtime_suspend(), ->runtime_resume()
+and ->runtime_idle() callbacks for the given device in atomic context with
+interrupts disabled.  This implies that the callback routines in question must
+not block or sleep, but it also means that the synchronous helper functions
+listed at the end of Section 4 may be used for that device within an interrupt
+handler or generally in an atomic context.
+
+The subsystem-level suspend callback, if present, is _entirely_ _responsible_
+for handling the suspend of the device as appropriate, which may, but need not
+include executing the device driver's own ->runtime_suspend() callback (from the
+PM core's point of view it is not necessary to implement a ->runtime_suspend()
+callback in a device driver as long as the subsystem-level suspend callback
+knows what to do to handle the device).
+
+  * Once the subsystem-level suspend callback (or the driver suspend callback,
+    if invoked directly) has completed successfully for the given device, the PM
+    core regards the device as suspended, which need not mean that it has been
+    put into a low power state.  It is supposed to mean, however, that the
+    device will not process data and will not communicate with the CPU(s) and
+    RAM until the appropriate resume callback is executed for it.  The runtime
+    PM status of a device after successful execution of the suspend callback is
+    'suspended'.
+
+  * If the suspend callback returns -EBUSY or -EAGAIN, the device's runtime PM
+    status remains 'active', which means that the device _must_ be fully
+    operational afterwards.
+
+  * If the suspend callback returns an error code different from -EBUSY and
+    -EAGAIN, the PM core regards this as a fatal error and will refuse to run
+    the helper functions described in Section 4 for the device until its status
+    is directly set to  either 'active', or 'suspended' (the PM core provides
+    special helper functions for this purpose).
+
+In particular, if the driver requires remote wakeup capability (i.e. hardware
+mechanism allowing the device to request a change of its power state, such as
+PCI PME) for proper functioning and device_can_wakeup() returns 'false' for the
+device, then ->runtime_suspend() should return -EBUSY.  On the other hand, if
+device_can_wakeup() returns 'true' for the device and the device is put into a
+low-power state during the execution of the suspend callback, it is expected
+that remote wakeup will be enabled for the device.  Generally, remote wakeup
+should be enabled for all input devices put into low-power states at run time.
+
+The subsystem-level resume callback, if present, is _entirely_ _responsible_ for
+handling the resume of the device as appropriate, which may, but need not
+include executing the device driver's own ->runtime_resume() callback (from the
+PM core's point of view it is not necessary to implement a ->runtime_resume()
+callback in a device driver as long as the subsystem-level resume callback knows
+what to do to handle the device).
+
+  * Once the subsystem-level resume callback (or the driver resume callback, if
+    invoked directly) has completed successfully, the PM core regards the device
+    as fully operational, which means that the device _must_ be able to complete
+    I/O operations as needed.  The runtime PM status of the device is then
+    'active'.
+
+  * If the resume callback returns an error code, the PM core regards this as a
+    fatal error and will refuse to run the helper functions described in Section
+    4 for the device, until its status is directly set to either 'active', or
+    'suspended' (by means of special helper functions provided by the PM core
+    for this purpose).
+
+The idle callback (a subsystem-level one, if present, or the driver one) is
+executed by the PM core whenever the device appears to be idle, which is
+indicated to the PM core by two counters, the device's usage counter and the
+counter of 'active' children of the device.
+
+  * If any of these counters is decreased using a helper function provided by
+    the PM core and it turns out to be equal to zero, the other counter is
+    checked.  If that counter also is equal to zero, the PM core executes the
+    idle callback with the device as its argument.
+
+The action performed by the idle callback is totally dependent on the subsystem
+(or driver) in question, but the expected and recommended action is to check
+if the device can be suspended (i.e. if all of the conditions necessary for
+suspending the device are satisfied) and to queue up a suspend request for the
+device in that case.  If there is no idle callback, or if the callback returns
+0, then the PM core will attempt to carry out a runtime suspend of the device,
+also respecting devices configured for autosuspend.  In essence this means a
+call to pm_runtime_autosuspend() (do note that drivers needs to update the
+device last busy mark, pm_runtime_mark_last_busy(), to control the delay under
+this circumstance).  To prevent this (for example, if the callback routine has
+started a delayed suspend), the routine must return a non-zero value.  Negative
+error return codes are ignored by the PM core.
+
+The helper functions provided by the PM core, described in Section 4, guarantee
+that the following constraints are met with respect to runtime PM callbacks for
+one device:
+
+(1) The callbacks are mutually exclusive (e.g. it is forbidden to execute
+    ->runtime_suspend() in parallel with ->runtime_resume() or with another
+    instance of ->runtime_suspend() for the same device) with the exception that
+    ->runtime_suspend() or ->runtime_resume() can be executed in parallel with
+    ->runtime_idle() (although ->runtime_idle() will not be started while any
+    of the other callbacks is being executed for the same device).
+
+(2) ->runtime_idle() and ->runtime_suspend() can only be executed for 'active'
+    devices (i.e. the PM core will only execute ->runtime_idle() or
+    ->runtime_suspend() for the devices the runtime PM status of which is
+    'active').
+
+(3) ->runtime_idle() and ->runtime_suspend() can only be executed for a device
+    the usage counter of which is equal to zero _and_ either the counter of
+    'active' children of which is equal to zero, or the 'power.ignore_children'
+    flag of which is set.
+
+(4) ->runtime_resume() can only be executed for 'suspended' devices  (i.e. the
+    PM core will only execute ->runtime_resume() for the devices the runtime
+    PM status of which is 'suspended').
+
+Additionally, the helper functions provided by the PM core obey the following
+rules:
+
+  * If ->runtime_suspend() is about to be executed or there's a pending request
+    to execute it, ->runtime_idle() will not be executed for the same device.
+
+  * A request to execute or to schedule the execution of ->runtime_suspend()
+    will cancel any pending requests to execute ->runtime_idle() for the same
+    device.
+
+  * If ->runtime_resume() is about to be executed or there's a pending request
+    to execute it, the other callbacks will not be executed for the same device.
+
+  * A request to execute ->runtime_resume() will cancel any pending or
+    scheduled requests to execute the other callbacks for the same device,
+    except for scheduled autosuspends.
+
+3. Runtime PM Device Fields
+
+The following device runtime PM fields are present in 'struct dev_pm_info', as
+defined in include/linux/pm.h:
+
+  struct timer_list suspend_timer;
+    - timer used for scheduling (delayed) suspend and autosuspend requests
+
+  unsigned long timer_expires;
+    - timer expiration time, in jiffies (if this is different from zero, the
+      timer is running and will expire at that time, otherwise the timer is not
+      running)
+
+  struct work_struct work;
+    - work structure used for queuing up requests (i.e. work items in pm_wq)
+
+  wait_queue_head_t wait_queue;
+    - wait queue used if any of the helper functions needs to wait for another
+      one to complete
+
+  spinlock_t lock;
+    - lock used for synchronization
+
+  atomic_t usage_count;
+    - the usage counter of the device
+
+  atomic_t child_count;
+    - the count of 'active' children of the device
+
+  unsigned int ignore_children;
+    - if set, the value of child_count is ignored (but still updated)
+
+  unsigned int disable_depth;
+    - used for disabling the helper functions (they work normally if this is
+      equal to zero); the initial value of it is 1 (i.e. runtime PM is
+      initially disabled for all devices)
+
+  int runtime_error;
+    - if set, there was a fatal error (one of the callbacks returned error code
+      as described in Section 2), so the helper functions will not work until
+      this flag is cleared; this is the error code returned by the failing
+      callback
+
+  unsigned int idle_notification;
+    - if set, ->runtime_idle() is being executed
+
+  unsigned int request_pending;
+    - if set, there's a pending request (i.e. a work item queued up into pm_wq)
+
+  enum rpm_request request;
+    - type of request that's pending (valid if request_pending is set)
+
+  unsigned int deferred_resume;
+    - set if ->runtime_resume() is about to be run while ->runtime_suspend() is
+      being executed for that device and it is not practical to wait for the
+      suspend to complete; means "start a resume as soon as you've suspended"
+
+  enum rpm_status runtime_status;
+    - the runtime PM status of the device; this field's initial value is
+      RPM_SUSPENDED, which means that each device is initially regarded by the
+      PM core as 'suspended', regardless of its real hardware status
+
+  unsigned int runtime_auto;
+    - if set, indicates that the user space has allowed the device driver to
+      power manage the device at run time via the /sys/devices/.../power/control
+      interface; it may only be modified with the help of the pm_runtime_allow()
+      and pm_runtime_forbid() helper functions
+
+  unsigned int no_callbacks;
+    - indicates that the device does not use the runtime PM callbacks (see
+      Section 8); it may be modified only by the pm_runtime_no_callbacks()
+      helper function
+
+  unsigned int irq_safe;
+    - indicates that the ->runtime_suspend() and ->runtime_resume() callbacks
+      will be invoked with the spinlock held and interrupts disabled
+
+  unsigned int use_autosuspend;
+    - indicates that the device's driver supports delayed autosuspend (see
+      Section 9); it may be modified only by the
+      pm_runtime{_dont}_use_autosuspend() helper functions
+
+  unsigned int timer_autosuspends;
+    - indicates that the PM core should attempt to carry out an autosuspend
+      when the timer expires rather than a normal suspend
+
+  int autosuspend_delay;
+    - the delay time (in milliseconds) to be used for autosuspend
+
+  unsigned long last_busy;
+    - the time (in jiffies) when the pm_runtime_mark_last_busy() helper
+      function was last called for this device; used in calculating inactivity
+      periods for autosuspend
+
+All of the above fields are members of the 'power' member of 'struct device'.
+
+4. Runtime PM Device Helper Functions
+
+The following runtime PM helper functions are defined in
+drivers/base/power/runtime.c and include/linux/pm_runtime.h:
+
+  void pm_runtime_init(struct device *dev);
+    - initialize the device runtime PM fields in 'struct dev_pm_info'
+
+  void pm_runtime_remove(struct device *dev);
+    - make sure that the runtime PM of the device will be disabled after
+      removing the device from device hierarchy
+
+  int pm_runtime_idle(struct device *dev);
+    - execute the subsystem-level idle callback for the device; returns an
+      error code on failure, where -EINPROGRESS means that ->runtime_idle() is
+      already being executed; if there is no callback or the callback returns 0
+      then run pm_runtime_autosuspend(dev) and return its result
+
+  int pm_runtime_suspend(struct device *dev);
+    - execute the subsystem-level suspend callback for the device; returns 0 on
+      success, 1 if the device's runtime PM status was already 'suspended', or
+      error code on failure, where -EAGAIN or -EBUSY means it is safe to attempt
+      to suspend the device again in future and -EACCES means that
+      'power.disable_depth' is different from 0
+
+  int pm_runtime_autosuspend(struct device *dev);
+    - same as pm_runtime_suspend() except that the autosuspend delay is taken
+      into account; if pm_runtime_autosuspend_expiration() says the delay has
+      not yet expired then an autosuspend is scheduled for the appropriate time
+      and 0 is returned
+
+  int pm_runtime_resume(struct device *dev);
+    - execute the subsystem-level resume callback for the device; returns 0 on
+      success, 1 if the device's runtime PM status was already 'active' or
+      error code on failure, where -EAGAIN means it may be safe to attempt to
+      resume the device again in future, but 'power.runtime_error' should be
+      checked additionally, and -EACCES means that 'power.disable_depth' is
+      different from 0
+
+  int pm_request_idle(struct device *dev);
+    - submit a request to execute the subsystem-level idle callback for the
+      device (the request is represented by a work item in pm_wq); returns 0 on
+      success or error code if the request has not been queued up
+
+  int pm_request_autosuspend(struct device *dev);
+    - schedule the execution of the subsystem-level suspend callback for the
+      device when the autosuspend delay has expired; if the delay has already
+      expired then the work item is queued up immediately
+
+  int pm_schedule_suspend(struct device *dev, unsigned int delay);
+    - schedule the execution of the subsystem-level suspend callback for the
+      device in future, where 'delay' is the time to wait before queuing up a
+      suspend work item in pm_wq, in milliseconds (if 'delay' is zero, the work
+      item is queued up immediately); returns 0 on success, 1 if the device's PM
+      runtime status was already 'suspended', or error code if the request
+      hasn't been scheduled (or queued up if 'delay' is 0); if the execution of
+      ->runtime_suspend() is already scheduled and not yet expired, the new
+      value of 'delay' will be used as the time to wait
+
+  int pm_request_resume(struct device *dev);
+    - submit a request to execute the subsystem-level resume callback for the
+      device (the request is represented by a work item in pm_wq); returns 0 on
+      success, 1 if the device's runtime PM status was already 'active', or
+      error code if the request hasn't been queued up
+
+  void pm_runtime_get_noresume(struct device *dev);
+    - increment the device's usage counter
+
+  int pm_runtime_get(struct device *dev);
+    - increment the device's usage counter, run pm_request_resume(dev) and
+      return its result
+
+  int pm_runtime_get_sync(struct device *dev);
+    - increment the device's usage counter, run pm_runtime_resume(dev) and
+      return its result
+
+  int pm_runtime_get_if_in_use(struct device *dev);
+    - return -EINVAL if 'power.disable_depth' is nonzero; otherwise, if the
+      runtime PM status is RPM_ACTIVE and the runtime PM usage counter is
+      nonzero, increment the counter and return 1; otherwise return 0 without
+      changing the counter
+
+  void pm_runtime_put_noidle(struct device *dev);
+    - decrement the device's usage counter
+
+  int pm_runtime_put(struct device *dev);
+    - decrement the device's usage counter; if the result is 0 then run
+      pm_request_idle(dev) and return its result
+
+  int pm_runtime_put_autosuspend(struct device *dev);
+    - decrement the device's usage counter; if the result is 0 then run
+      pm_request_autosuspend(dev) and return its result
+
+  int pm_runtime_put_sync(struct device *dev);
+    - decrement the device's usage counter; if the result is 0 then run
+      pm_runtime_idle(dev) and return its result
+
+  int pm_runtime_put_sync_suspend(struct device *dev);
+    - decrement the device's usage counter; if the result is 0 then run
+      pm_runtime_suspend(dev) and return its result
+
+  int pm_runtime_put_sync_autosuspend(struct device *dev);
+    - decrement the device's usage counter; if the result is 0 then run
+      pm_runtime_autosuspend(dev) and return its result
+
+  void pm_runtime_enable(struct device *dev);
+    - decrement the device's 'power.disable_depth' field; if that field is equal
+      to zero, the runtime PM helper functions can execute subsystem-level
+      callbacks described in Section 2 for the device
+

+It is safe to execute the following helper functions from interrupt context:
+
+pm_request_idle()
+pm_request_autosuspend()
+pm_schedule_suspend()
+pm_request_resume()
+pm_runtime_get_noresume()
+pm_runtime_get()
+pm_runtime_put_noidle()
+pm_runtime_put()
+pm_runtime_put_autosuspend()
+pm_runtime_enable()
+pm_suspend_ignore_children()
+pm_runtime_set_active()
+pm_runtime_set_suspended()
+pm_runtime_suspended()
+pm_runtime_mark_last_busy()
+pm_runtime_autosuspend_expiration()
+
+If pm_runtime_irq_safe() has been called for a device then the following helper
+functions may also be used in interrupt context:
+
+pm_runtime_idle()
+pm_runtime_suspend()
+pm_runtime_autosuspend()
+pm_runtime_resume()
+pm_runtime_get_sync()
+pm_runtime_put_sync()
+pm_runtime_put_sync_suspend()
+pm_runtime_put_sync_autosuspend()
+
+5. Runtime PM Initialization, Device Probing and Removal
+
+Initially, the runtime PM is disabled for all devices, which means that the
+majority of the runtime PM helper functions described in Section 4 will return
+-EAGAIN until pm_runtime_enable() is called for the device.
+
+In addition to that, the initial runtime PM status of all devices is
+'suspended', but it need not reflect the actual physical state of the device.
+Thus, if the device is initially active (i.e. it is able to process I/O), its
+runtime PM status must be changed to 'active', with the help of
+pm_runtime_set_active(), before pm_runtime_enable() is called for the device.
+
+However, if the device has a parent and the parent's runtime PM is enabled,
+calling pm_runtime_set_active() for the device will affect the parent, unless
+the parent's 'power.ignore_children' flag is set.  Namely, in that case the
+parent won't be able to suspend at run time, using the PM core's helper
+functions, as long as the child's status is 'active', even if the child's
+runtime PM is still disabled (i.e. pm_runtime_enable() hasn't been called for
+the child yet or pm_runtime_disable() has been called for it).  For this reason,
+once pm_runtime_set_active() has been called for the device, pm_runtime_enable()
+should be called for it too as soon as reasonably possible or its runtime PM
+status should be changed back to 'suspended' with the help of
+pm_runtime_set_suspended().
+
+If the default initial runtime PM status of the device (i.e. 'suspended')
+reflects the actual state of the device, its bus type's or its driver's
+->probe() callback will likely need to wake it up using one of the PM core's
+helper functions described in Section 4.  In that case, pm_runtime_resume()
+should be used.  Of course, for this purpose the device's runtime PM has to be
+enabled earlier by calling pm_runtime_enable().
+
+Note, if the device may execute pm_runtime calls during the probe (such as
+if it is registers with a subsystem that may call back in) then the
+pm_runtime_get_sync() call paired with a pm_runtime_put() call will be
+appropriate to ensure that the device is not put back to sleep during the
+probe. This can happen with systems such as the network device layer.
+
+It may be desirable to suspend the device once ->probe() has finished.
+Therefore the driver core uses the asynchronous pm_request_idle() to submit a
+request to execute the subsystem-level idle callback for the device at that
+time.  A driver that makes use of the runtime autosuspend feature, may want to
+update the last busy mark before returning from ->probe().
+
+Moreover, the driver core prevents runtime PM callbacks from racing with the bus
+notifier callback in __device_release_driver(), which is necessary, because the
+notifier is used by some subsystems to carry out operations affecting the
+runtime PM functionality.  It does so by calling pm_runtime_get_sync() before
+driver_sysfs_remove() and the BUS_NOTIFY_UNBIND_DRIVER notifications.  This
+resumes the device if it's in the suspended state and prevents it from
+being suspended again while those routines are being executed.
+
+To allow bus types and drivers to put devices into the suspended state by
+calling pm_runtime_suspend() from their ->remove() routines, the driver core
+executes pm_runtime_put_sync() after running the BUS_NOTIFY_UNBIND_DRIVER
+notifications in __device_release_driver().  This requires bus types and
+drivers to make their ->remove() callbacks avoid races with runtime PM directly,
+but also it allows of more flexibility in the handling of devices during the
+removal of their drivers.
+
+Drivers in ->remove() callback should undo the runtime PM changes done
+in ->probe(). Usually this means calling pm_runtime_disable(),
+pm_runtime_dont_use_autosuspend() etc.
+
+The user space can effectively disallow the driver of the device to power manage
+it at run time by changing the value of its /sys/devices/.../power/control
+attribute to "on", which causes pm_runtime_forbid() to be called.  In principle,
+this mechanism may also be used by the driver to effectively turn off the
+runtime power management of the device until the user space turns it on.
+Namely, during the initialization the driver can make sure that the runtime PM
+status of the device is 'active' and call pm_runtime_forbid().  It should be
+noted, however, that if the user space has already intentionally changed the
+value of /sys/devices/.../power/control to "auto" to allow the driver to power
+manage the device at run time, the driver may confuse it by using
+pm_runtime_forbid() this way.
+
+6. Runtime PM and System Sleep
+
+Runtime PM and system sleep (i.e., system suspend and hibernation, also known
+as suspend-to-RAM and suspend-to-disk) interact with each other in a couple of
+ways.  If a device is active when a system sleep starts, everything is
+straightforward.  But what should happen if the device is already suspended?
+
+The device may have different wake-up settings for runtime PM and system sleep.
+For example, remote wake-up may be enabled for runtime suspend but disallowed
+for system sleep (device_may_wakeup(dev) returns 'false').  When this happens,
+the subsystem-level system suspend callback is responsible for changing the
+device's wake-up setting (it may leave that to the device driver's system
+suspend routine).  It may be necessary to resume the device and suspend it again
+in order to do so.  The same is true if the driver uses different power levels
+or other settings for runtime suspend and system sleep.
+
+During system resume, the simplest approach is to bring all devices back to full
+power, even if they had been suspended before the system suspend began.  There
+are several reasons for this, including:
+
+  * The device might need to switch power levels, wake-up settings, etc.
+
+  * Remote wake-up events might have been lost by the firmware.
+
+  * The device's children may need the device to be at full power in order
+    to resume themselves.
+
+  * The driver's idea of the device state may not agree with the device's
+    physical state.  This can happen during resume from hibernation.
+
+  * The device might need to be reset.
+
+  * Even though the device was suspended, if its usage counter was > 0 then most
+    likely it would need a runtime resume in the near future anyway.
+
+If the device had been suspended before the system suspend began and it's
+brought back to full power during resume, then its runtime PM status will have
+to be updated to reflect the actual post-system sleep status.  The way to do
+this is:
+
+	pm_runtime_disable(dev);
+	pm_runtime_set_active(dev);
+	pm_runtime_enable(dev);
+
+The PM core always increments the runtime usage counter before calling the
+->suspend() callback and decrements it after calling the ->resume() callback.
+Hence disabling runtime PM temporarily like this will not cause any runtime
+suspend attempts to be permanently lost.  If the usage count goes to zero
+following the return of the ->resume() callback, the ->runtime_idle() callback
+will be invoked as usual.
+
+On some systems, however, system sleep is not entered through a global firmware
+or hardware operation.  Instead, all hardware components are put into low-power
+states directly by the kernel in a coordinated way.  Then, the system sleep
+state effectively follows from the states the hardware components end up in
+and the system is woken up from that state by a hardware interrupt or a similar
+mechanism entirely under the kernel's control.  As a result, the kernel never
+gives control away and the states of all devices during resume are precisely
+known to it.  If that is the case and none of the situations listed above takes
+place (in particular, if the system is not waking up from hibernation), it may
+be more efficient to leave the devices that had been suspended before the system
+suspend began in the suspended state.
+
+To this end, the PM core provides a mechanism allowing some coordination between
+different levels of device hierarchy.  Namely, if a system suspend .prepare()
+callback returns a positive number for a device, that indicates to the PM core
+that the device appears to be runtime-suspended and its state is fine, so it
+may be left in runtime suspend provided that all of its descendants are also
+left in runtime suspend.  If that happens, the PM core will not execute any
+system suspend and resume callbacks for all of those devices, except for the
+complete callback, which is then entirely responsible for handling the device
+as appropriate.  This only applies to system suspend transitions that are not
+related to hibernation (see Documentation/driver-api/pm/devices.rst for more
+information).
+
+The PM core does its best to reduce the probability of race conditions between
+the runtime PM and system suspend/resume (and hibernation) callbacks by carrying
+out the following operations:
+
+  * During system suspend pm_runtime_get_noresume() is called for every device
+    right before executing the subsystem-level .prepare() callback for it and
+    pm_runtime_barrier() is called for every device right before executing the
+    subsystem-level .suspend() callback for it.  In addition to that the PM core
+    calls  __pm_runtime_disable() with 'false' as the second argument for every
+    device right before executing the subsystem-level .suspend_late() callback
+    for it.
+
+  * During system resume pm_runtime_enable() and pm_runtime_put() are called for
+    every device right after executing the subsystem-level .resume_early()
+    callback and right after executing the subsystem-level .complete() callback
+    for it, respectively.
+
+7. Generic subsystem callbacks
+
+Subsystems may wish to conserve code space by using the set of generic power
+management callbacks provided by the PM core, defined in
+driver/base/power/generic_ops.c:
+
+  int pm_generic_runtime_suspend(struct device *dev);
+    - invoke the ->runtime_suspend() callback provided by the driver of this
+      device and return its result, or return 0 if not defined
+
+  int pm_generic_runtime_resume(struct device *dev);
+    - invoke the ->runtime_resume() callback provided by the driver of this
+      device and return its result, or return 0 if not defined
+
+  int pm_generic_suspend(struct device *dev);
+    - if the device has not been suspended at run time, invoke the ->suspend()
+      callback provided by its driver and return its result, or return 0 if not
+      defined
+
+  int pm_generic_suspend_noirq(struct device *dev);
+    - if pm_runtime_suspended(dev) returns "false", invoke the ->suspend_noirq()
+      callback provided by the device's driver and return its result, or return
+      0 if not defined
+
+  int pm_generic_resume(struct device *dev);
+    - invoke the ->resume() callback provided by the driver of this device and,
+      if successful, change the device's runtime PM status to 'active'
+
+  int pm_generic_resume_noirq(struct device *dev);
+    - invoke the ->resume_noirq() callback provided by the driver of this device
+
+  int pm_generic_freeze(struct device *dev);
+    - if the device has not been suspended at run time, invoke the ->freeze()
+      callback provided by its driver and return its result, or return 0 if not
+      defined
+
+  int pm_generic_freeze_noirq(struct device *dev);
+    - if pm_runtime_suspended(dev) returns "false", invoke the ->freeze_noirq()
+      callback provided by the device's driver and return its result, or return
+      0 if not defined
+
+  int pm_generic_thaw(struct device *dev);
+    - if the device has not been suspended at run time, invoke the ->thaw()
+      callback provided by its driver and return its result, or return 0 if not
+      defined
+
+  int pm_generic_thaw_noirq(struct device *dev);
+    - if pm_runtime_suspended(dev) returns "false", invoke the ->thaw_noirq()
+      callback provided by the device's driver and return its result, or return
+      0 if not defined
+
+  int pm_generic_poweroff(struct device *dev);
+    - if the device has not been suspended at run time, invoke the ->poweroff()
+      callback provided by its driver and return its result, or return 0 if not
+      defined
+
+  int pm_generic_poweroff_noirq(struct device *dev);
+    - if pm_runtime_suspended(dev) returns "false", run the ->poweroff_noirq()
+      callback provided by the device's driver and return its result, or return
+      0 if not defined
+
+  int pm_generic_restore(struct device *dev);
+    - invoke the ->restore() callback provided by the driver of this device and,
+      if successful, change the device's runtime PM status to 'active'
+
+  int pm_generic_restore_noirq(struct device *dev);
+    - invoke the ->restore_noirq() callback provided by the device's driver
+
+These functions are the defaults used by the PM core, if a subsystem doesn't
+provide its own callbacks for ->runtime_idle(), ->runtime_suspend(),
+->runtime_resume(), ->suspend(), ->suspend_noirq(), ->resume(),
+->resume_noirq(), ->freeze(), ->freeze_noirq(), ->thaw(), ->thaw_noirq(),
+->poweroff(), ->poweroff_noirq(), ->restore(), ->restore_noirq() in the
+subsystem-level dev_pm_ops structure.
+
+Device drivers that wish to use the same function as a system suspend, freeze,
+poweroff and runtime suspend callback, and similarly for system resume, thaw,
+restore, and runtime resume, can achieve this with the help of the
+UNIVERSAL_DEV_PM_OPS macro defined in include/linux/pm.h (possibly setting its
+last argument to NULL).
+
+8. "No-Callback" Devices
+
+Some "devices" are only logical sub-devices of their parent and cannot be
+power-managed on their own.  (The prototype example is a USB interface.  Entire
+USB devices can go into low-power mode or send wake-up requests, but neither is
+possible for individual interfaces.)  The drivers for these devices have no
+need of runtime PM callbacks; if the callbacks did exist, ->runtime_suspend()
+and ->runtime_resume() would always return 0 without doing anything else and
+->runtime_idle() would always call pm_runtime_suspend().
+
+Subsystems can tell the PM core about these devices by calling
+pm_runtime_no_callbacks().  This should be done after the device structure is
+initialized and before it is registered (although after device registration is
+also okay).  The routine will set the device's power.no_callbacks flag and
+prevent the non-debugging runtime PM sysfs attributes from being created.
+
+When power.no_callbacks is set, the PM core will not invoke the
+->runtime_idle(), ->runtime_suspend(), or ->runtime_resume() callbacks.
+Instead it will assume that suspends and resumes always succeed and that idle
+devices should be suspended.
+
+As a consequence, the PM core will never directly inform the device's subsystem
+or driver about runtime power changes.  Instead, the driver for the device's
+parent must take responsibility for telling the device's driver when the
+parent's power state changes.
+
+9. Autosuspend, or automatically-delayed suspends
+
+Changing a device's power state isn't free; it requires both time and energy.
+A device should be put in a low-power state only when there's some reason to
+think it will remain in that state for a substantial time.  A common heuristic
+says that a device which hasn't been used for a while is liable to remain
+unused; following this advice, drivers should not allow devices to be suspended
+at runtime until they have been inactive for some minimum period.  Even when
+the heuristic ends up being non-optimal, it will still prevent devices from
+"bouncing" too rapidly between low-power and full-power states.
+
+The term "autosuspend" is an historical remnant.  It doesn't mean that the
+device is automatically suspended (the subsystem or driver still has to call
+the appropriate PM routines); rather it means that runtime suspends will
+automatically be delayed until the desired period of inactivity has elapsed.
+
+Inactivity is determined based on the power.last_busy field.  Drivers should
+call pm_runtime_mark_last_busy() to update this field after carrying out I/O,
+typically just before calling pm_runtime_put_autosuspend().  The desired length
+of the inactivity period is a matter of policy.  Subsystems can set this length
+initially by calling pm_runtime_set_autosuspend_delay(), but after device
+registration the length should be controlled by user space, using the
+/sys/devices/.../power/autosuspend_delay_ms attribute.
+
+In order to use autosuspend, subsystems or drivers must call
+pm_runtime_use_autosuspend() (preferably before registering the device), and
+thereafter they should use the various *_autosuspend() helper functions instead
+of the non-autosuspend counterparts:
+
+	Instead of: pm_runtime_suspend    use: pm_runtime_autosuspend;
+	Instead of: pm_schedule_suspend   use: pm_request_autosuspend;
+	Instead of: pm_runtime_put        use: pm_runtime_put_autosuspend;
+	Instead of: pm_runtime_put_sync   use: pm_runtime_put_sync_autosuspend.
+
+Drivers may also continue to use the non-autosuspend helper functions; they
+will behave normally, which means sometimes taking the autosuspend delay into
+account (see pm_runtime_idle).
+
+Under some circumstances a driver or subsystem may want to prevent a device
+from autosuspending immediately, even though the usage counter is zero and the
+autosuspend delay time has expired.  If the ->runtime_suspend() callback
+returns -EAGAIN or -EBUSY, and if the next autosuspend delay expiration time is
+in the future (as it normally would be if the callback invoked
+pm_runtime_mark_last_busy()), the PM core will automatically reschedule the
+autosuspend.  The ->runtime_suspend() callback can't do this rescheduling
+itself because no suspend requests of any kind are accepted while the device is
+suspending (i.e., while the callback is running).
+
+The implementation is well suited for asynchronous use in interrupt contexts.
+However such use inevitably involves races, because the PM core can't
+synchronize ->runtime_suspend() callbacks with the arrival of I/O requests.
+This synchronization must be handled by the driver, using its private lock.
+Here is a schematic pseudo-code example:
+
+	foo_read_or_write(struct foo_priv *foo, void *data)
+	{
+		lock(&foo->private_lock);
+		add_request_to_io_queue(foo, data);
+		if (foo->num_pending_requests++ == 0)
+			pm_runtime_get(&foo->dev);
+		if (!foo->is_suspended)
+			foo_process_next_request(foo);
+		unlock(&foo->private_lock);
+	}
+
+	foo_io_completion(struct foo_priv *foo, void *req)
+	{
+		lock(&foo->private_lock);
+		if (--foo->num_pending_requests == 0) {
+			pm_runtime_mark_last_busy(&foo->dev);
+			pm_runtime_put_autosuspend(&foo->dev);
+		} else {
+			foo_process_next_request(foo);
+		}
+		unlock(&foo->private_lock);
+		/* Send req result back to the user ... */
+	}
+
+	int foo_runtime_suspend(struct device *dev)
+	{
+		struct foo_priv foo = container_of(dev, ...);
+		int ret = 0;
+
+		lock(&foo->private_lock);
+		if (foo->num_pending_requests > 0) {
+			ret = -EBUSY;
+		} else {
+			/* ... suspend the device ... */
+			foo->is_suspended = 1;
+		}
+		unlock(&foo->private_lock);
+		return ret;
+	}
+
+	int foo_runtime_resume(struct device *dev)
+	{
+		struct foo_priv foo = container_of(dev, ...);
+
+		lock(&foo->private_lock);
+		/* ... resume the device ... */
+		foo->is_suspended = 0;
+		pm_runtime_mark_last_busy(&foo->dev);
+		if (foo->num_pending_requests > 0)
+			foo_process_next_request(foo);
+		unlock(&foo->private_lock);
+		return 0;
+	}
+
+The important point is that after foo_io_completion() asks for an autosuspend,
+the foo_runtime_suspend() callback may race with foo_read_or_write().
+Therefore foo_runtime_suspend() has to check whether there are any pending I/O
+requests (while holding the private lock) before allowing the suspend to
+proceed.
+
+In addition, the power.autosuspend_delay field can be changed by user space at
+any time.  If a driver cares about this, it can call
+pm_runtime_autosuspend_expiration() from within the ->runtime_suspend()
+callback while holding its private lock.  If the function returns a nonzero
+value then the delay has not yet expired and the callback should return
+-EAGAIN.

+   "known ok" machines, along with tricks to use on each one.
+
+2) If that does not help, try reading tricks.txt and
+   video.txt. Perhaps problem is as simple as broken module, and
+   simple module unload can fix it.
+
+3) You can use Linus' TRACE_RESUME infrastructure, described below.
+
+		      Using TRACE_RESUME
+		      ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+I've been working at making the machines I have able to STR, and almost
+always it's a driver that is buggy. Thank God for the suspend/resume
+debugging - the thing that Chuck tried to disable. That's often the _only_
+way to debug these things, and it's actually pretty powerful (but
+time-consuming - having to insert TRACE_RESUME() markers into the device
+driver that doesn't resume and recompile and reboot).
+
+Anyway, the way to debug this for people who are interested (have a
+machine that doesn't boot) is:
+
+ - enable PM_DEBUG, and PM_TRACE
+
+ - use a script like this:
+
+	#!/bin/sh
+	sync
+	echo 1 > /sys/power/pm_trace
+	echo mem > /sys/power/state
+
+   to suspend
+
+ - if it doesn't come back up (which is usually the problem), reboot by
+   holding the power button down, and look at the dmesg output for things
+   like
+
+	Magic number: 4:156:725
+	hash matches drivers/base/power/resume.c:28
+	hash matches device 0000:01:00.0
+
+   which means that the last trace event was just before trying to resume
+   device 0000:01:00.0. Then figure out what driver is controlling that
+   device (lspci and /sys/devices/pci* is your friend), and see if you can
+   fix it, disable it, or trace into its resume function.
+
+   If no device matches the hash (or any matches appear to be false positives),
+   the culprit may be a device from a loadable kernel module that is not loaded
+   until after the hash is checked. You can check the hash against the current
+   devices again after more modules are loaded using sysfs:
+
+	cat /sys/power/pm_trace_dev_match
+
+For example, the above happens to be the VGA device on my EVO, which I
+used to run with "radeonfb" (it's an ATI Radeon mobility). It turns out
+that "radeonfb" simply cannot resume that device - it tries to set the
+PLL's, and it just _hangs_. Using the regular VGA console and letting X
+resume it instead works fine.
+
+NOTE
+====
+pm_trace uses the system's Real Time Clock (RTC) to save the magic number.
+Reason for this is that the RTC is the only reliably available piece of
+hardware during resume operations where a value can be set that will
+survive a reboot.
+
+pm_trace is not compatible with asynchronous suspend, so it turns
+asynchronous suspend off (which may work around timing or
+ordering-sensitive bugs).
+
+Consequence is that after a resume (even if it is successful) your system
+clock will have a value corresponding to the magic number instead of the
+correct date/time! It is therefore advisable to use a program like ntp-date
+or rdate to reset the correct date/time from an external time source when
+using this trace option.
+
+As the clock keeps ticking it is also essential that the reboot is done
+quickly after the resume failure. The trace option does not use the seconds
+or the low order bits of the minutes of the RTC, but a too long delay will
+corrupt the magic value.

+Interaction of Suspend code (S3) with the CPU hotplug infrastructure
+

+
+I. How does the regular CPU hotplug code differ from how the Suspend-to-RAM
+   infrastructure uses it internally? And where do they share common code?
+
+Well, a picture is worth a thousand words... So ASCII art follows :-)
+
+[This depicts the current design in the kernel, and focusses only on the
+interactions involving the freezer and CPU hotplug and also tries to explain
+the locking involved. It outlines the notifications involved as well.
+But please note that here, only the call paths are illustrated, with the aim
+of describing where they take different paths and where they share code.
+What happens when regular CPU hotplug and Suspend-to-RAM race with each other
+is not depicted here.]

+                              regular CPU hotplug]
+
+
+
+So, as can be seen from the two diagrams (the parts marked as "Common code"),
+regular CPU hotplug and the suspend code path converge at the _cpu_down() and
+_cpu_up() functions. They differ in the arguments passed to these functions,
+in that during regular CPU hotplug, 0 is passed for the 'tasks_frozen'
+argument. But during suspend, since the tasks are already frozen by the time
+the non-boot CPUs are offlined or onlined, the _cpu_*() functions are called
+with the 'tasks_frozen' argument set to 1.
+[See below for some known issues regarding this.]
+
+
+Important files and functions/entry points:
+------------------------------------------
+
+kernel/power/process.c : freeze_processes(), thaw_processes()
+kernel/power/suspend.c : suspend_prepare(), suspend_enter(), suspend_finish()
+kernel/cpu.c: cpu_[up|down](), _cpu_[up|down](), [disable|enable]_nonboot_cpus()
+
+
+
+II. What are the issues involved in CPU hotplug?
+    -------------------------------------------
+
+There are some interesting situations involving CPU hotplug and microcode
+update on the CPUs, as discussed below:
+
+[Please bear in mind that the kernel requests the microcode images from
+userspace, using the request_firmware() function defined in
+drivers/base/firmware_loader/main.c]
+
+
+a. When all the CPUs are identical:
+
+   This is the most common situation and it is quite straightforward: we want
+   to apply the same microcode revision to each of the CPUs.
+   To give an example of x86, the collect_cpu_info() function defined in
+   arch/x86/kernel/microcode_core.c helps in discovering the type of the CPU
+   and thereby in applying the correct microcode revision to it.
+   But note that the kernel does not maintain a common microcode image for the
+   all CPUs, in order to handle case 'b' described below.
+
+
+b. When some of the CPUs are different than the rest:
+
+   In this case since we probably need to apply different microcode revisions
+   to different CPUs, the kernel maintains a copy of the correct microcode
+   image for each CPU (after appropriate CPU type/model discovery using
+   functions such as collect_cpu_info()).
+
+
+c. When a CPU is physically hot-unplugged and a new (and possibly different
+   type of) CPU is hot-plugged into the system:
+
+   In the current design of the kernel, whenever a CPU is taken offline during
+   a regular CPU hotplug operation, upon receiving the CPU_DEAD notification
+   (which is sent by the CPU hotplug code), the microcode update driver's
+   callback for that event reacts by freeing the kernel's copy of the
+   microcode image for that CPU.
+
+   Hence, when a new CPU is brought online, since the kernel finds that it
+   doesn't have the microcode image, it does the CPU type/model discovery
+   afresh and then requests the userspace for the appropriate microcode image
+   for that CPU, which is subsequently applied.
+
+   For example, in x86, the mc_cpu_callback() function (which is the microcode
+   update driver's callback registered for CPU hotplug events) calls
+   microcode_update_cpu() which would call microcode_init_cpu() in this case,
+   instead of microcode_resume_cpu() when it finds that the kernel doesn't
+   have a valid microcode image. This ensures that the CPU type/model
+   discovery is performed and the right microcode is applied to the CPU after
+   getting it from userspace.
+
+
+d. Handling microcode update during suspend/hibernate:
+
+   Strictly speaking, during a CPU hotplug operation which does not involve
+   physically removing or inserting CPUs, the CPUs are not actually powered
+   off during a CPU offline. They are just put to the lowest C-states possible.
+   Hence, in such a case, it is not really necessary to re-apply microcode
+   when the CPUs are brought back online, since they wouldn't have lost the
+   image during the CPU offline operation.
+
+   This is the usual scenario encountered during a resume after a suspend.
+   However, in the case of hibernation, since all the CPUs are completely
+   powered off, during restore it becomes necessary to apply the microcode
+   images to all the CPUs.
+
+   [Note that we don't expect someone to physically pull out nodes and insert
+   nodes with a different type of CPUs in-between a suspend-resume or a
+   hibernate/restore cycle.]
+
+   In the current design of the kernel however, during a CPU offline operation
+   as part of the suspend/hibernate cycle (cpuhp_tasks_frozen is set),
+   the existing copy of microcode image in the kernel is not freed up.
+   And during the CPU online operations (during resume/restore), since the
+   kernel finds that it already has copies of the microcode images for all the
+   CPUs, it just applies them to the CPUs, avoiding any re-discovery of CPU
+   type/model and the need for validating whether the microcode revisions are
+   right for the CPUs or not (due to the above assumption that physical CPU
+   hotplug will not be done in-between suspend/resume or hibernate/restore
+   cycles).
+
+
+III. Are there any known problems when regular CPU hotplug and suspend race
+     with each other?
+
+Yes, they are listed below:
+
+1. When invoking regular CPU hotplug, the 'tasks_frozen' argument passed to
+   the _cpu_down() and _cpu_up() functions is *always* 0.
+   This might not reflect the true current state of the system, since the
+   tasks could have been frozen by an out-of-band event such as a suspend
+   operation in progress. Hence, the cpuhp_tasks_frozen variable will not
+   reflect the frozen state and the CPU hotplug callbacks which evaluate
+   that variable might execute the wrong code path.
+
+2. If a regular CPU hotplug stress test happens to race with the freezer due
+   to a suspend operation in progress at the same time, then we could hit the
+   situation described below:
+
+    * A regular cpu online operation continues its journey from userspace
+      into the kernel, since the freezing has not yet begun.
+    * Then freezer gets to work and freezes userspace.
+    * If cpu online has not yet completed the microcode update stuff by now,
+      it will now start waiting on the frozen userspace in the
+      TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE state, in order to get the microcode image.
+    * Now the freezer continues and tries to freeze the remaining tasks. But
+      due to this wait mentioned above, the freezer won't be able to freeze
+      the cpu online hotplug task and hence freezing of tasks fails.
+
+   As a result of this task freezing failure, the suspend operation gets
+   aborted.

+
+Suspending and Resuming Device IRQs
+-----------------------------------
+
+Device interrupt request lines (IRQs) are generally disabled during system
+suspend after the "late" phase of suspending devices (that is, after all of the
+->prepare, ->suspend and ->suspend_late callbacks have been executed for all
+devices).  That is done by suspend_device_irqs().
+
+The rationale for doing so is that after the "late" phase of device suspend
+there is no legitimate reason why any interrupts from suspended devices should
+trigger and if any devices have not been suspended properly yet, it is better to
+block interrupts from them anyway.  Also, in the past we had problems with
+interrupt handlers for shared IRQs that device drivers implementing them were
+not prepared for interrupts triggering after their devices had been suspended.
+In some cases they would attempt to access, for example, memory address spaces
+of suspended devices and cause unpredictable behavior to ensue as a result.
+Unfortunately, such problems are very difficult to debug and the introduction
+of suspend_device_irqs(), along with the "noirq" phase of device suspend and
+resume, was the only practical way to mitigate them.
+
+Device IRQs are re-enabled during system resume, right before the "early" phase
+of resuming devices (that is, before starting to execute ->resume_early
+callbacks for devices).  The function doing that is resume_device_irqs().
+
+
+The IRQF_NO_SUSPEND Flag
+------------------------
+
+There are interrupts that can legitimately trigger during the entire system
+suspend-resume cycle, including the "noirq" phases of suspending and resuming
+devices as well as during the time when nonboot CPUs are taken offline and
+brought back online.  That applies to timer interrupts in the first place,
+but also to IPIs and to some other special-purpose interrupts.
+
+The IRQF_NO_SUSPEND flag is used to indicate that to the IRQ subsystem when
+requesting a special-purpose interrupt.  It causes suspend_device_irqs() to
+leave the corresponding IRQ enabled so as to allow the interrupt to work as
+expected during the suspend-resume cycle, but does not guarantee that the
+interrupt will wake the system from a suspended state -- for such cases it is
+necessary to use enable_irq_wake().
+
+Note that the IRQF_NO_SUSPEND flag affects the entire IRQ and not just one
+user of it.  Thus, if the IRQ is shared, all of the interrupt handlers installed
+for it will be executed as usual after suspend_device_irqs(), even if the
+IRQF_NO_SUSPEND flag was not passed to request_irq() (or equivalent) by some of
+the IRQ's users.  For this reason, using IRQF_NO_SUSPEND and IRQF_SHARED at the
+same time should be avoided.
+
+
+System Wakeup Interrupts, enable_irq_wake() and disable_irq_wake()
+------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+System wakeup interrupts generally need to be configured to wake up the system
+from sleep states, especially if they are used for different purposes (e.g. as
+I/O interrupts) in the working state.
+
+That may involve turning on a special signal handling logic within the platform
+(such as an SoC) so that signals from a given line are routed in a different way
+during system sleep so as to trigger a system wakeup when needed.  For example,
+the platform may include a dedicated interrupt controller used specifically for
+handling system wakeup events.  Then, if a given interrupt line is supposed to
+wake up the system from sleep sates, the corresponding input of that interrupt
+controller needs to be enabled to receive signals from the line in question.
+After wakeup, it generally is better to disable that input to prevent the
+dedicated controller from triggering interrupts unnecessarily.
+
+The IRQ subsystem provides two helper functions to be used by device drivers for
+those purposes.  Namely, enable_irq_wake() turns on the platform's logic for
+handling the given IRQ as a system wakeup interrupt line and disable_irq_wake()
+turns that logic off.
+
+Calling enable_irq_wake() causes suspend_device_irqs() to treat the given IRQ
+in a special way.  Namely, the IRQ remains enabled, by on the first interrupt
+it will be disabled, marked as pending and "suspended" so that it will be
+re-enabled by resume_device_irqs() during the subsequent system resume.  Also
+the PM core is notified about the event which causes the system suspend in
+progress to be aborted (that doesn't have to happen immediately, but at one
+of the points where the suspend thread looks for pending wakeup events).
+
+This way every interrupt from a wakeup interrupt source will either cause the
+system suspend currently in progress to be aborted or wake up the system if
+already suspended.  However, after suspend_device_irqs() interrupt handlers are
+not executed for system wakeup IRQs.  They are only executed for IRQF_NO_SUSPEND
+IRQs at that time, but those IRQs should not be configured for system wakeup
+using enable_irq_wake().
+
+
+Interrupts and Suspend-to-Idle
+------------------------------
+
+Suspend-to-idle (also known as the "freeze" sleep state) is a relatively new
+system sleep state that works by idling all of the processors and waiting for
+interrupts right after the "noirq" phase of suspending devices.
+
+Of course, this means that all of the interrupts with the IRQF_NO_SUSPEND flag
+set will bring CPUs out of idle while in that state, but they will not cause the
+IRQ subsystem to trigger a system wakeup.
+
+System wakeup interrupts, in turn, will trigger wakeup from suspend-to-idle in
+analogy with what they do in the full system suspend case.  The only difference
+is that the wakeup from suspend-to-idle is signaled using the usual working
+state interrupt delivery mechanisms and doesn't require the platform to use
+any special interrupt handling logic for it to work.
+
+
+IRQF_NO_SUSPEND and enable_irq_wake()
+-------------------------------------
+
+There are very few valid reasons to use both enable_irq_wake() and the
+IRQF_NO_SUSPEND flag on the same IRQ, and it is never valid to use both for the
+same device.
+
+First of all, if the IRQ is not shared, the rules for handling IRQF_NO_SUSPEND
+interrupts (interrupt handlers are invoked after suspend_device_irqs()) are
+directly at odds with the rules for handling system wakeup interrupts (interrupt
+handlers are not invoked after suspend_device_irqs()).
+
+Second, both enable_irq_wake() and IRQF_NO_SUSPEND apply to entire IRQs and not
+to individual interrupt handlers, so sharing an IRQ between a system wakeup
+interrupt source and an IRQF_NO_SUSPEND interrupt source does not generally
+make sense.
+
+In rare cases an IRQ can be shared between a wakeup device driver and an
+IRQF_NO_SUSPEND user. In order for this to be safe, the wakeup device driver
+must be able to discern spurious IRQs from genuine wakeup events (signalling
+the latter to the core with pm_system_wakeup()), must use enable_irq_wake() to
+ensure that the IRQ will function as a wakeup source, and must request the IRQ
+with IRQF_COND_SUSPEND to tell the core that it meets these requirements. If
+these requirements are not met, it is not valid to use IRQF_COND_SUSPEND.

+Using swap files with software suspend (swsusp)
+	(C) 2006 Rafael J. Wysocki <rjw@sisk.pl>
+
+The Linux kernel handles swap files almost in the same way as it handles swap
+partitions and there are only two differences between these two types of swap
+areas:
+(1) swap files need not be contiguous,
+(2) the header of a swap file is not in the first block of the partition that
+holds it.  From the swsusp's point of view (1) is not a problem, because it is
+already taken care of by the swap-handling code, but (2) has to be taken into
+consideration.
+
+In principle the location of a swap file's header may be determined with the
+help of appropriate filesystem driver.  Unfortunately, however, it requires the
+filesystem holding the swap file to be mounted, and if this filesystem is
+journaled, it cannot be mounted during resume from disk.  For this reason to
+identify a swap file swsusp uses the name of the partition that holds the file
+and the offset from the beginning of the partition at which the swap file's
+header is located.  For convenience, this offset is expressed in <PAGE_SIZE>
+units.
+
+In order to use a swap file with swsusp, you need to:
+
+1) Create the swap file and make it active, eg.
+
+# dd if=/dev/zero of=<swap_file_path> bs=1024 count=<swap_file_size_in_k>
+# mkswap <swap_file_path>
+# swapon <swap_file_path>
+
+2) Use an application that will bmap the swap file with the help of the
+FIBMAP ioctl and determine the location of the file's swap header, as the
+offset, in <PAGE_SIZE> units, from the beginning of the partition which
+holds the swap file.
+
+3) Add the following parameters to the kernel command line:
+
+resume=<swap_file_partition> resume_offset=<swap_file_offset>
+
+where <swap_file_partition> is the partition on which the swap file is located
+and <swap_file_offset> is the offset of the swap header determined by the
+application in 2) (of course, this step may be carried out automatically
+by the same application that determines the swap file's header offset using the
+FIBMAP ioctl)
+
+OR
+
+Use a userland suspend application that will set the partition and offset
+with the help of the SNAPSHOT_SET_SWAP_AREA ioctl described in
+Documentation/power/userland-swsusp.txt (this is the only method to suspend
+to a swap file allowing the resume to be initiated from an initrd or initramfs
+image).
+
+Now, swsusp will use the swap file in the same way in which it would use a swap
+partition.  In particular, the swap file has to be active (ie. be present in
+/proc/swaps) so that it can be used for suspending.
+
+Note that if the swap file used for suspending is deleted and recreated,
+the location of its header need not be the same as before.  Thus every time
+this happens the value of the "resume_offset=" kernel command line parameter
+has to be updated.

+
+
+How to use dm-crypt and swsusp together:
+========================================
+
+Some prerequisites:
+You know how dm-crypt works. If not, visit the following web page:
+http://www.saout.de/misc/dm-crypt/
+You have read Documentation/power/swsusp.txt and understand it.
+You did read Documentation/admin-guide/initrd.rst and know how an initrd works.
+You know how to create or how to modify an initrd.
+
+Now your system is properly set up, your disk is encrypted except for
+the swap device(s) and the boot partition which may contain a mini
+system for crypto setup and/or rescue purposes. You may even have
+an initrd that does your current crypto setup already.
+
+At this point you want to encrypt your swap, too. Still you want to
+be able to suspend using swsusp. This, however, means that you
+have to be able to either enter a passphrase or that you read
+the key(s) from an external device like a pcmcia flash disk
+or an usb stick prior to resume. So you need an initrd, that sets
+up dm-crypt and then asks swsusp to resume from the encrypted
+swap device.
+
+The most important thing is that you set up dm-crypt in such
+a way that the swap device you suspend to/resume from has
+always the same major/minor within the initrd as well as
+within your running system. The easiest way to achieve this is
+to always set up this swap device first with dmsetup, so that
+it will always look like the following:
+
+brw-------  1 root root 254, 0 Jul 28 13:37 /dev/mapper/swap0
+
+Now set up your kernel to use /dev/mapper/swap0 as the default
+resume partition, so your kernel .config contains:
+
+CONFIG_PM_STD_PARTITION="/dev/mapper/swap0"
+
+Prepare your boot loader to use the initrd you will create or
+modify. For lilo the simplest setup looks like the following
+lines:
+
+image=/boot/vmlinuz
+initrd=/boot/initrd.gz
+label=linux
+append="root=/dev/ram0 init=/linuxrc rw"
+
+Finally you need to create or modify your initrd. Lets assume
+you create an initrd that reads the required dm-crypt setup
+from a pcmcia flash disk card. The card is formatted with an ext2
+fs which resides on /dev/hde1 when the card is inserted. The
+card contains at least the encrypted swap setup in a file
+named "swapkey". /etc/fstab of your initrd contains something
+like the following:
+
+/dev/hda1   /mnt    ext3      ro                            0 0
+none        /proc   proc      defaults,noatime,nodiratime   0 0
+none        /sys    sysfs     defaults,noatime,nodiratime   0 0
+
+/dev/hda1 contains an unencrypted mini system that sets up all
+of your crypto devices, again by reading the setup from the
+pcmcia flash disk. What follows now is a /linuxrc for your
+initrd that allows you to resume from encrypted swap and that
+continues boot with your mini system on /dev/hda1 if resume
+does not happen:
+
+#!/bin/sh
+PATH=/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin
+mount /proc
+mount /sys
+mapped=0
+noresume=`grep -c noresume /proc/cmdline`
+if [ "$*" != "" ]
+then
+  noresume=1
+fi
+dmesg -n 1
+/sbin/cardmgr -q
+for i in 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0
+do
+  if [ -f /proc/ide/hde/media ]
+  then
+    usleep 500000
+    mount -t ext2 -o ro /dev/hde1 /mnt
+    if [ -f /mnt/swapkey ]
+    then
+      dmsetup create swap0 /mnt/swapkey > /dev/null 2>&1 && mapped=1
+    fi
+    umount /mnt
+    break
+  fi
+  usleep 500000
+done
+killproc /sbin/cardmgr
+dmesg -n 6
+if [ $mapped = 1 ]
+then
+  if [ $noresume != 0 ]
+  then
+    mkswap /dev/mapper/swap0 > /dev/null 2>&1
+  fi
+  echo 254:0 > /sys/power/resume
+  dmsetup remove swap0
+fi
+umount /sys
+mount /mnt
+umount /proc
+cd /mnt
+pivot_root . mnt
+mount /proc
+umount -l /mnt
+umount /proc
+exec chroot . /sbin/init $* < dev/console > dev/console 2>&1
+
+Please don't mind the weird loop above, busybox's msh doesn't know
+the let statement. Now, what is happening in the script?
+First we have to decide if we want to try to resume, or not.
+We will not resume if booting with "noresume" or any parameters
+for init like "single" or "emergency" as boot parameters.
+
+Then we need to set up dmcrypt with the setup data from the
+pcmcia flash disk. If this succeeds we need to reset the swap
+device if we don't want to resume. The line "echo 254:0 > /sys/power/resume"
+then attempts to resume from the first device mapper device.
+Note that it is important to set the device in /sys/power/resume,
+regardless if resuming or not, otherwise later suspend will fail.
+If resume starts, script execution terminates here.
+
+Otherwise we just remove the encrypted swap device and leave it to the
+mini system on /dev/hda1 to set the whole crypto up (it is up to
+you to modify this to your taste).
+
+What then follows is the well known process to change the root
+file system and continue booting from there. I prefer to unmount
+the initrd prior to continue booting but it is up to you to modify
+this.

+Some warnings, first.
+
+ * BIG FAT WARNING *********************************************************
+ *
+ * If you touch anything on disk between suspend and resume...
+ *				...kiss your data goodbye.
+ *
+ * If you do resume from initrd after your filesystems are mounted...
+ *				...bye bye root partition.
+ *			[this is actually same case as above]
+ *
+ * If you have unsupported (*) devices using DMA, you may have some
+ * problems. If your disk driver does not support suspend... (IDE does),
+ * it may cause some problems, too. If you change kernel command line
+ * between suspend and resume, it may do something wrong. If you change
+ * your hardware while system is suspended... well, it was not good idea;
+ * but it will probably only crash.
+ *
+ * (*) suspend/resume support is needed to make it safe.
+ *
+ * If you have any filesystems on USB devices mounted before software suspend,
+ * they won't be accessible after resume and you may lose data, as though
+ * you have unplugged the USB devices with mounted filesystems on them;
+ * see the FAQ below for details.  (This is not true for more traditional
+ * power states like "standby", which normally don't turn USB off.)
+
+Swap partition:
+You need to append resume=/dev/your_swap_partition to kernel command
+line or specify it using /sys/power/resume.
+
+Swap file:
+If using a swapfile you can also specify a resume offset using
+resume_offset=<number> on the kernel command line or specify it
+in /sys/power/resume_offset.
+
+After preparing then you suspend by
+
+echo shutdown > /sys/power/disk; echo disk > /sys/power/state
+
+. If you feel ACPI works pretty well on your system, you might try
+
+echo platform > /sys/power/disk; echo disk > /sys/power/state
+
+. If you would like to write hibernation image to swap and then suspend
+to RAM (provided your platform supports it), you can try
+
+echo suspend > /sys/power/disk; echo disk > /sys/power/state
+
+. If you have SATA disks, you'll need recent kernels with SATA suspend
+support. For suspend and resume to work, make sure your disk drivers
+are built into kernel -- not modules. [There's way to make
+suspend/resume with modular disk drivers, see FAQ, but you probably
+should not do that.]
+
+If you want to limit the suspend image size to N bytes, do
+
+echo N > /sys/power/image_size
+
+before suspend (it is limited to 500 MB by default).
+
+. The resume process checks for the presence of the resume device,
+if found, it then checks the contents for the hibernation image signature.
+If both are found, it resumes the hibernation image.
+
+. The resume process may be triggered in two ways:
+  1) During lateinit:  If resume=/dev/your_swap_partition is specified on
+     the kernel command line, lateinit runs the resume process.  If the
+     resume device has not been probed yet, the resume process fails and
+     bootup continues.
+  2) Manually from an initrd or initramfs:  May be run from
+     the init script by using the /sys/power/resume file.  It is vital
+     that this be done prior to remounting any filesystems (even as
+     read-only) otherwise data may be corrupted.

+Article about goals and implementation of Software Suspend for Linux
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+Author: Gábor Kuti
+Last revised: 2003-10-20 by Pavel Machek
+
+Idea and goals to achieve
+
+Nowadays it is common in several laptops that they have a suspend button. It
+saves the state of the machine to a filesystem or to a partition and switches
+to standby mode. Later resuming the machine the saved state is loaded back to
+ram and the machine can continue its work. It has two real benefits. First we
+save ourselves the time machine goes down and later boots up, energy costs
+are real high when running from batteries. The other gain is that we don't have to
+interrupt our programs so processes that are calculating something for a long
+time shouldn't need to be written interruptible.
+
+swsusp saves the state of the machine into active swaps and then reboots or
+powerdowns.  You must explicitly specify the swap partition to resume from with
+``resume='' kernel option. If signature is found it loads and restores saved
+state. If the option ``noresume'' is specified as a boot parameter, it skips
+the resuming.  If the option ``hibernate=nocompress'' is specified as a boot
+parameter, it saves hibernation image without compression.
+
+In the meantime while the system is suspended you should not add/remove any
+of the hardware, write to the filesystems, etc.
+
+Sleep states summary
+====================
+
+There are three different interfaces you can use, /proc/acpi should
+work like this:
+
+In a really perfect world:
+echo 1 > /proc/acpi/sleep       # for standby
+echo 2 > /proc/acpi/sleep       # for suspend to ram
+echo 3 > /proc/acpi/sleep       # for suspend to ram, but with more power conservative
+echo 4 > /proc/acpi/sleep       # for suspend to disk
+echo 5 > /proc/acpi/sleep       # for shutdown unfriendly the system
+
+and perhaps
+echo 4b > /proc/acpi/sleep      # for suspend to disk via s4bios
+
+Frequently Asked Questions
+==========================
+
+Q: well, suspending a server is IMHO a really stupid thing,
+but... (Diego Zuccato):
+
+A: You bought new UPS for your server. How do you install it without
+bringing machine down? Suspend to disk, rearrange power cables,
+resume.
+
+You have your server on UPS. Power died, and UPS is indicating 30
+seconds to failure. What do you do? Suspend to disk.
+
+
+Q: Maybe I'm missing something, but why don't the regular I/O paths work?
+
+A: We do use the regular I/O paths. However we cannot restore the data
+to its original location as we load it. That would create an
+inconsistent kernel state which would certainly result in an oops.
+Instead, we load the image into unused memory and then atomically copy
+it back to it original location. This implies, of course, a maximum
+image size of half the amount of memory.
+
+There are two solutions to this:
+
+* require half of memory to be free during suspend. That way you can
+read "new" data onto free spots, then cli and copy
+
+* assume we had special "polling" ide driver that only uses memory
+between 0-640KB. That way, I'd have to make sure that 0-640KB is free
+during suspending, but otherwise it would work...
+
+suspend2 shares this fundamental limitation, but does not include user
+data and disk caches into "used memory" by saving them in
+advance. That means that the limitation goes away in practice.
+
+Q: Does linux support ACPI S4?
+
+A: Yes. That's what echo platform > /sys/power/disk does.
+
+Q: What is 'suspend2'?
+
+A: suspend2 is 'Software Suspend 2', a forked implementation of
+suspend-to-disk which is available as separate patches for 2.4 and 2.6
+kernels from swsusp.sourceforge.net. It includes support for SMP, 4GB
+highmem and preemption. It also has a extensible architecture that
+allows for arbitrary transformations on the image (compression,
+encryption) and arbitrary backends for writing the image (eg to swap
+or an NFS share[Work In Progress]). Questions regarding suspend2
+should be sent to the mailing list available through the suspend2
+website, and not to the Linux Kernel Mailing List. We are working
+toward merging suspend2 into the mainline kernel.
+
+Q: What is the freezing of tasks and why are we using it?
+
+A: The freezing of tasks is a mechanism by which user space processes and some
+kernel threads are controlled during hibernation or system-wide suspend (on some
+architectures).  See freezing-of-tasks.txt for details.
+
+Q: What is the difference between "platform" and "shutdown"?
+
+A:
+
+shutdown: save state in linux, then tell bios to powerdown
+
+platform: save state in linux, then tell bios to powerdown and blink
+          "suspended led"
+
+"platform" is actually right thing to do where supported, but
+"shutdown" is most reliable (except on ACPI systems).
+
+Q: I do not understand why you have such strong objections to idea of
+selective suspend.
+
+A: Do selective suspend during runtime power management, that's okay. But
+it's useless for suspend-to-disk. (And I do not see how you could use
+it for suspend-to-ram, I hope you do not want that).
+
+Lets see, so you suggest to
+
+* SUSPEND all but swap device and parents
+* Snapshot
+* Write image to disk
+* SUSPEND swap device and parents
+* Powerdown
+
+Oh no, that does not work, if swap device or its parents uses DMA,
+you've corrupted data. You'd have to do
+
+* SUSPEND all but swap device and parents
+* FREEZE swap device and parents
+* Snapshot
+* UNFREEZE swap device and parents
+* Write
+* SUSPEND swap device and parents
+
+Which means that you still need that FREEZE state, and you get more
+complicated code. (And I have not yet introduce details like system
+devices).
+
+Q: There don't seem to be any generally useful behavioral
+distinctions between SUSPEND and FREEZE.
+
+A: Doing SUSPEND when you are asked to do FREEZE is always correct,
+but it may be unnecessarily slow. If you want your driver to stay simple,
+slowness may not matter to you. It can always be fixed later.
+
+For devices like disk it does matter, you do not want to spindown for
+FREEZE.
+
+Q: After resuming, system is paging heavily, leading to very bad interactivity.
+
+A: Try running
+
+cat /proc/[0-9]*/maps | grep / | sed 's:.* /:/:' | sort -u | while read file
+do
+  test -f "$file" && cat "$file" > /dev/null
+done
+
+after resume. swapoff -a; swapon -a may also be useful.
+
+Q: What happens to devices during swsusp? They seem to be resumed
+during system suspend?
+
+A: That's correct. We need to resume them if we want to write image to
+disk. Whole sequence goes like
+
+      Suspend part
+      ~~~~~~~~~~~~
+      running system, user asks for suspend-to-disk
+
+      user processes are stopped
+
+      suspend(PMSG_FREEZE): devices are frozen so that they don't interfere
+      		      with state snapshot
+
+      state snapshot: copy of whole used memory is taken with interrupts disabled
+
+      resume(): devices are woken up so that we can write image to swap
+
+      write image to swap
+
+      suspend(PMSG_SUSPEND): suspend devices so that we can power off
+
+      turn the power off
+
+      Resume part
+      ~~~~~~~~~~~
+      (is actually pretty similar)
+
+      running system, user asks for suspend-to-disk
+
+      user processes are stopped (in common case there are none, but with resume-from-initrd, no one knows)
+
+      read image from disk
+
+      suspend(PMSG_FREEZE): devices are frozen so that they don't interfere
+      		      with image restoration
+
+      image restoration: rewrite memory with image
+
+      resume(): devices are woken up so that system can continue
+
+      thaw all user processes
+
+Q: What is this 'Encrypt suspend image' for?
+
+A: First of all: it is not a replacement for dm-crypt encrypted swap.
+It cannot protect your computer while it is suspended. Instead it does
+protect from leaking sensitive data after resume from suspend.
+
+Think of the following: you suspend while an application is running
+that keeps sensitive data in memory. The application itself prevents
+the data from being swapped out. Suspend, however, must write these
+data to swap to be able to resume later on. Without suspend encryption
+your sensitive data are then stored in plaintext on disk.  This means
+that after resume your sensitive data are accessible to all
+applications having direct access to the swap device which was used
+for suspend. If you don't need swap after resume these data can remain
+on disk virtually forever. Thus it can happen that your system gets
+broken in weeks later and sensitive data which you thought were
+encrypted and protected are retrieved and stolen from the swap device.
+To prevent this situation you should use 'Encrypt suspend image'.
+
+During suspend a temporary key is created and this key is used to
+encrypt the data written to disk. When, during resume, the data was
+read back into memory the temporary key is destroyed which simply
+means that all data written to disk during suspend are then
+inaccessible so they can't be stolen later on.  The only thing that
+you must then take care of is that you call 'mkswap' for the swap
+partition used for suspend as early as possible during regular
+boot. This asserts that any temporary key from an oopsed suspend or
+from a failed or aborted resume is erased from the swap device.
+
+As a rule of thumb use encrypted swap to protect your data while your
+system is shut down or suspended. Additionally use the encrypted
+suspend image to prevent sensitive data from being stolen after
+resume.
+
+Q: Can I suspend to a swap file?
+
+A: Generally, yes, you can.  However, it requires you to use the "resume=" and
+"resume_offset=" kernel command line parameters, so the resume from a swap file
+cannot be initiated from an initrd or initramfs image.  See
+swsusp-and-swap-files.txt for details.
+
+Q: Is there a maximum system RAM size that is supported by swsusp?
+
+A: It should work okay with highmem.
+
+Q: Does swsusp (to disk) use only one swap partition or can it use
+multiple swap partitions (aggregate them into one logical space)?
+
+A: Only one swap partition, sorry.
+
+Q: If my application(s) causes lots of memory & swap space to be used
+(over half of the total system RAM), is it correct that it is likely
+to be useless to try to suspend to disk while that app is running?
+
+A: No, it should work okay, as long as your app does not mlock()
+it. Just prepare big enough swap partition.
+
+Q: What information is useful for debugging suspend-to-disk problems?
+
+A: Well, last messages on the screen are always useful. If something
+is broken, it is usually some kernel driver, therefore trying with as
+little as possible modules loaded helps a lot. I also prefer people to
+suspend from console, preferably without X running. Booting with
+init=/bin/bash, then swapon and starting suspend sequence manually
+usually does the trick. Then it is good idea to try with latest
+vanilla kernel.
+
+Q: How can distributions ship a swsusp-supporting kernel with modular
+disk drivers (especially SATA)?
+
+A: Well, it can be done, load the drivers, then do echo into
+/sys/power/resume file from initrd. Be sure not to mount
+anything, not even read-only mount, or you are going to lose your
+data.
+
+Q: How do I make suspend more verbose?
+
+A: If you want to see any non-error kernel messages on the virtual
+terminal the kernel switches to during suspend, you have to set the
+kernel console loglevel to at least 4 (KERN_WARNING), for example by
+doing
+
+	# save the old loglevel
+	read LOGLEVEL DUMMY < /proc/sys/kernel/printk
+	# set the loglevel so we see the progress bar.
+	# if the level is higher than needed, we leave it alone.
+	if [ $LOGLEVEL -lt 5 ]; then
+	        echo 5 > /proc/sys/kernel/printk
+		fi
+
+        IMG_SZ=0
+        read IMG_SZ < /sys/power/image_size
+        echo -n disk > /sys/power/state
+        RET=$?
+        #
+        # the logic here is:
+        # if image_size > 0 (without kernel support, IMG_SZ will be zero),
+        # then try again with image_size set to zero.
+	if [ $RET -ne 0 -a $IMG_SZ -ne 0 ]; then # try again with minimal image size
+                echo 0 > /sys/power/image_size
+                echo -n disk > /sys/power/state
+                RET=$?
+        fi
+
+	# restore previous loglevel
+	echo $LOGLEVEL > /proc/sys/kernel/printk
+	exit $RET
+
+Q: Is this true that if I have a mounted filesystem on a USB device and
+I suspend to disk, I can lose data unless the filesystem has been mounted
+with "sync"?
+
+A: That's right ... if you disconnect that device, you may lose data.
+In fact, even with "-o sync" you can lose data if your programs have
+information in buffers they haven't written out to a disk you disconnect,
+or if you disconnect before the device finished saving data you wrote.
+
+Software suspend normally powers down USB controllers, which is equivalent
+to disconnecting all USB devices attached to your system.
+
+Your system might well support low-power modes for its USB controllers
+while the system is asleep, maintaining the connection, using true sleep
+modes like "suspend-to-RAM" or "standby".  (Don't write "disk" to the
+/sys/power/state file; write "standby" or "mem".)  We've not seen any
+hardware that can use these modes through software suspend, although in
+theory some systems might support "platform" modes that won't break the
+USB connections.
+
+Remember that it's always a bad idea to unplug a disk drive containing a
+mounted filesystem.  That's true even when your system is asleep!  The
+safest thing is to unmount all filesystems on removable media (such USB,
+Firewire, CompactFlash, MMC, external SATA, or even IDE hotplug bays)
+before suspending; then remount them after resuming.
+
+There is a work-around for this problem.  For more information, see
+Documentation/driver-api/usb/persist.rst.
+
+Q: Can I suspend-to-disk using a swap partition under LVM?
+
+A: Yes and No.  You can suspend successfully, but the kernel will not be able
+to resume on its own.  You need an initramfs that can recognize the resume
+situation, activate the logical volume containing the swap volume (but not
+touch any filesystems!), and eventually call
+
+echo -n "$major:$minor" > /sys/power/resume
+
+where $major and $minor are the respective major and minor device numbers of
+the swap volume.
+
+uswsusp works with LVM, too.  See http://suspend.sourceforge.net/
+
+Q: I upgraded the kernel from 2.6.15 to 2.6.16. Both kernels were
+compiled with the similar configuration files. Anyway I found that
+suspend to disk (and resume) is much slower on 2.6.16 compared to
+2.6.15. Any idea for why that might happen or how can I speed it up?
+
+A: This is because the size of the suspend image is now greater than
+for 2.6.15 (by saving more data we can get more responsive system
+after resume).
+
+There's the /sys/power/image_size knob that controls the size of the
+image.  If you set it to 0 (eg. by echo 0 > /sys/power/image_size as
+root), the 2.6.15 behavior should be restored.  If it is still too
+slow, take a look at suspend.sf.net -- userland suspend is faster and
+supports LZF compression to speed it up further.

+	swsusp/S3 tricks
+	~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+Pavel Machek <pavel@ucw.cz>
+
+If you want to trick swsusp/S3 into working, you might want to try:
+
+* go with minimal config, turn off drivers like USB, AGP you don't
+  really need
+
+* turn off APIC and preempt
+
+* use ext2. At least it has working fsck. [If something seems to go
+  wrong, force fsck when you have a chance]
+
+* turn off modules
+
+* use vga text console, shut down X. [If you really want X, you might
+  want to try vesafb later]
+
+* try running as few processes as possible, preferably go to single
+  user mode.
+
+* due to video issues, swsusp should be easier to get working than
+  S3. Try that first.
+
+When you make it work, try to find out what exactly was it that broke
+suspend, and preferably fix that.

+Documentation for userland software suspend interface
+	(C) 2006 Rafael J. Wysocki <rjw@sisk.pl>
+
+First, the warnings at the beginning of swsusp.txt still apply.
+
+Second, you should read the FAQ in swsusp.txt _now_ if you have not
+done it already.
+
+Now, to use the userland interface for software suspend you need special
+utilities that will read/write the system memory snapshot from/to the
+kernel.  Such utilities are available, for example, from
+<http://suspend.sourceforge.net>.  You may want to have a look at them if you
+are going to develop your own suspend/resume utilities.
+
+The interface consists of a character device providing the open(),
+release(), read(), and write() operations as well as several ioctl()
+commands defined in include/linux/suspend_ioctls.h .  The major and minor
+numbers of the device are, respectively, 10 and 231, and they can
+be read from /sys/class/misc/snapshot/dev.
+
+The device can be open either for reading or for writing.  If open for
+reading, it is considered to be in the suspend mode.  Otherwise it is
+assumed to be in the resume mode.  The device cannot be open for simultaneous
+reading and writing.  It is also impossible to have the device open more than
+once at a time.
+
+Even opening the device has side effects. Data structures are
+allocated, and PM_HIBERNATION_PREPARE / PM_RESTORE_PREPARE chains are
+called.
+
+The ioctl() commands recognized by the device are:
+
+SNAPSHOT_FREEZE - freeze user space processes (the current process is
+	not frozen); this is required for SNAPSHOT_CREATE_IMAGE
+	and SNAPSHOT_ATOMIC_RESTORE to succeed
+
+SNAPSHOT_UNFREEZE - thaw user space processes frozen by SNAPSHOT_FREEZE
+
+SNAPSHOT_CREATE_IMAGE - create a snapshot of the system memory; the
+	last argument of ioctl() should be a pointer to an int variable,
+	the value of which will indicate whether the call returned after
+	creating the snapshot (1) or after restoring the system memory state
+	from it (0) (after resume the system finds itself finishing the
+	SNAPSHOT_CREATE_IMAGE ioctl() again); after the snapshot
+	has been created the read() operation can be used to transfer
+	it out of the kernel
+
+SNAPSHOT_ATOMIC_RESTORE - restore the system memory state from the
+	uploaded snapshot image; before calling it you should transfer
+	the system memory snapshot back to the kernel using the write()
+	operation; this call will not succeed if the snapshot
+	image is not available to the kernel
+
+SNAPSHOT_FREE - free memory allocated for the snapshot image
+
+SNAPSHOT_PREF_IMAGE_SIZE - set the preferred maximum size of the image
+	(the kernel will do its best to ensure the image size will not exceed
+	this number, but if it turns out to be impossible, the kernel will
+	create the smallest image possible)
+
+SNAPSHOT_GET_IMAGE_SIZE - return the actual size of the hibernation image
+
+SNAPSHOT_AVAIL_SWAP_SIZE - return the amount of available swap in bytes (the
+	last argument should be a pointer to an unsigned int variable that will
+	contain the result if the call is successful).
+
+SNAPSHOT_ALLOC_SWAP_PAGE - allocate a swap page from the resume partition
+	(the last argument should be a pointer to a loff_t variable that
+	will contain the swap page offset if the call is successful)
+
+SNAPSHOT_FREE_SWAP_PAGES - free all swap pages allocated by
+	SNAPSHOT_ALLOC_SWAP_PAGE
+
+SNAPSHOT_SET_SWAP_AREA - set the resume partition and the offset (in <PAGE_SIZE>
+	units) from the beginning of the partition at which the swap header is
+	located (the last ioctl() argument should point to a struct
+	resume_swap_area, as defined in kernel/power/suspend_ioctls.h,
+	containing the resume device specification and the offset); for swap
+	partitions the offset is always 0, but it is different from zero for
+	swap files (see Documentation/power/swsusp-and-swap-files.txt for
+	details).
+
+SNAPSHOT_PLATFORM_SUPPORT - enable/disable the hibernation platform support,
+	depending on the argument value (enable, if the argument is nonzero)
+
+SNAPSHOT_POWER_OFF - make the kernel transition the system to the hibernation
+	state (eg. ACPI S4) using the platform (eg. ACPI) driver
+
+SNAPSHOT_S2RAM - suspend to RAM; using this call causes the kernel to
+	immediately enter the suspend-to-RAM state, so this call must always
+	be preceded by the SNAPSHOT_FREEZE call and it is also necessary
+	to use the SNAPSHOT_UNFREEZE call after the system wakes up.  This call
+	is needed to implement the suspend-to-both mechanism in which the
+	suspend image is first created, as though the system had been suspended
+	to disk, and then the system is suspended to RAM (this makes it possible
+	to resume the system from RAM if there's enough battery power or restore
+	its state on the basis of the saved suspend image otherwise)
+
+The device's read() operation can be used to transfer the snapshot image from
+the kernel.  It has the following limitations:
+- you cannot read() more than one virtual memory page at a time
+- read()s across page boundaries are impossible (ie. if you read() 1/2 of
+	a page in the previous call, you will only be able to read()
+	_at_ _most_ 1/2 of the page in the next call)
+
+The device's write() operation is used for uploading the system memory snapshot
+into the kernel.  It has the same limitations as the read() operation.
+
+The release() operation frees all memory allocated for the snapshot image
+and all swap pages allocated with SNAPSHOT_ALLOC_SWAP_PAGE (if any).
+Thus it is not necessary to use either SNAPSHOT_FREE or
+SNAPSHOT_FREE_SWAP_PAGES before closing the device (in fact it will also
+unfreeze user space processes frozen by SNAPSHOT_UNFREEZE if they are
+still frozen when the device is being closed).
+
+Currently it is assumed that the userland utilities reading/writing the
+snapshot image from/to the kernel will use a swap partition, called the resume
+partition, or a swap file as storage space (if a swap file is used, the resume
+partition is the partition that holds this file).  However, this is not really
+required, as they can use, for example, a special (blank) suspend partition or
+a file on a partition that is unmounted before SNAPSHOT_CREATE_IMAGE and
+mounted afterwards.
+
+These utilities MUST NOT make any assumptions regarding the ordering of
+data within the snapshot image.  The contents of the image are entirely owned
+by the kernel and its structure may be changed in future kernel releases.
+
+The snapshot image MUST be written to the kernel unaltered (ie. all of the image
+data, metadata and header MUST be written in _exactly_ the same amount, form
+and order in which they have been read).  Otherwise, the behavior of the
+resumed system may be totally unpredictable.
+
+While executing SNAPSHOT_ATOMIC_RESTORE the kernel checks if the
+structure of the snapshot image is consistent with the information stored
+in the image header.  If any inconsistencies are detected,
+SNAPSHOT_ATOMIC_RESTORE will not succeed.  Still, this is not a fool-proof
+mechanism and the userland utilities using the interface SHOULD use additional
+means, such as checksums, to ensure the integrity of the snapshot image.
+
+The suspending and resuming utilities MUST lock themselves in memory,
+preferably using mlockall(), before calling SNAPSHOT_FREEZE.
+
+The suspending utility MUST check the value stored by SNAPSHOT_CREATE_IMAGE
+in the memory location pointed to by the last argument of ioctl() and proceed
+in accordance with it:
+1. 	If the value is 1 (ie. the system memory snapshot has just been
+	created and the system is ready for saving it):
+	(a)	The suspending utility MUST NOT close the snapshot device
+		_unless_ the whole suspend procedure is to be cancelled, in
+		which case, if the snapshot image has already been saved, the
+		suspending utility SHOULD destroy it, preferably by zapping
+		its header.  If the suspend is not to be cancelled, the
+		system MUST be powered off or rebooted after the snapshot
+		image has been saved.
+	(b)	The suspending utility SHOULD NOT attempt to perform any
+		file system operations (including reads) on the file systems
+		that were mounted before SNAPSHOT_CREATE_IMAGE has been
+		called.  However, it MAY mount a file system that was not
+		mounted at that time and perform some operations on it (eg.
+		use it for saving the image).
+2.	If the value is 0 (ie. the system state has just been restored from
+	the snapshot image), the suspending utility MUST close the snapshot
+	device.  Afterwards it will be treated as a regular userland process,
+	so it need not exit.
+
+The resuming utility SHOULD NOT attempt to mount any file systems that could
+be mounted before suspend and SHOULD NOT attempt to perform any operations
+involving such file systems.
+
+For details, please refer to the source code.

+
+		Video issues with S3 resume
+		~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+		  2003-2006, Pavel Machek
+
+During S3 resume, hardware needs to be reinitialized. For most
+devices, this is easy, and kernel driver knows how to do
+it. Unfortunately there's one exception: video card. Those are usually
+initialized by BIOS, and kernel does not have enough information to
+boot video card. (Kernel usually does not even contain video card
+driver -- vesafb and vgacon are widely used).
+
+This is not problem for swsusp, because during swsusp resume, BIOS is
+run normally so video card is normally initialized. It should not be
+problem for S1 standby, because hardware should retain its state over
+that.
+
+We either have to run video BIOS during early resume, or interpret it
+using vbetool later, or maybe nothing is necessary on particular
+system because video state is preserved. Unfortunately different
+methods work on different systems, and no known method suits all of
+them.
+
+Userland application called s2ram has been developed; it contains long
+whitelist of systems, and automatically selects working method for a
+given system. It can be downloaded from CVS at
+www.sf.net/projects/suspend . If you get a system that is not in the
+whitelist, please try to find a working solution, and submit whitelist
+entry so that work does not need to be repeated.
+
+Currently, VBE_SAVE method (6 below) works on most
+systems. Unfortunately, vbetool only runs after userland is resumed,
+so it makes debugging of early resume problems
+hard/impossible. Methods that do not rely on userland are preferable.
+
+Details
+~~~~~~~
+
+There are a few types of systems where video works after S3 resume:
+
+(1) systems where video state is preserved over S3.
+
+(2) systems where it is possible to call the video BIOS during S3
+  resume. Unfortunately, it is not correct to call the video BIOS at
+  that point, but it happens to work on some machines. Use
+  acpi_sleep=s3_bios.
+
+(3) systems that initialize video card into vga text mode and where
+  the BIOS works well enough to be able to set video mode. Use
+  acpi_sleep=s3_mode on these.
+
+(4) on some systems s3_bios kicks video into text mode, and
+  acpi_sleep=s3_bios,s3_mode is needed.
+
+(5) radeon systems, where X can soft-boot your video card. You'll need
+  a new enough X, and a plain text console (no vesafb or radeonfb). See
+  http://www.doesi.gmxhome.de/linux/tm800s3/s3.html for more information.
+  Alternatively, you should use vbetool (6) instead.
+
+(6) other radeon systems, where vbetool is enough to bring system back
+  to life. It needs text console to be working. Do vbetool vbestate
+  save > /tmp/delme; echo 3 > /proc/acpi/sleep; vbetool post; vbetool
+  vbestate restore < /tmp/delme; setfont <whatever>, and your video
+  should work.
+
+(7) on some systems, it is possible to boot most of kernel, and then
+  POSTing bios works. Ole Rohne has patch to do just that at
+  http://dev.gentoo.org/~marineam/patch-radeonfb-2.6.11-rc2-mm2.
+
+(8) on some systems, you can use the video_post utility and or 
+  do echo 3 > /sys/power/state  && /usr/sbin/video_post - which will 
+  initialize the display in console mode. If you are in X, you can switch
+  to a virtual terminal and back to X using  CTRL+ALT+F1 - CTRL+ALT+F7 to get
+  the display working in graphical mode again.
+
+Now, if you pass acpi_sleep=something, and it does not work with your
+bios, you'll get a hard crash during resume. Be careful. Also it is
+safest to do your experiments with plain old VGA console. The vesafb
+and radeonfb (etc) drivers have a tendency to crash the machine during
+resume.
+
+You may have a system where none of above works. At that point you
+either invent another ugly hack that works, or write proper driver for
+your video card (good luck getting docs :-(). Maybe suspending from X
+(proper X, knowing your hardware, not XF68_FBcon) might have better
+chance of working.

+DAWR issues on POWER9
+============================
+
+On POWER9 the DAWR can cause a checkstop if it points to cache
+inhibited (CI) memory. Currently Linux has no way to disinguish CI
+memory when configuring the DAWR, so (for now) the DAWR is disabled by
+this commit:
+
+    commit 9654153158d3e0684a1bdb76dbababdb7111d5a0
+    Author: Michael Neuling <mikey@neuling.org>
+    Date:   Tue Mar 27 15:37:24 2018 +1100
+    powerpc: Disable DAWR in the base POWER9 CPU features
+
+Technical Details:
+============================
+
+DAWR has 6 different ways of being set.
+1) ptrace
+2) h_set_mode(DAWR)
+3) h_set_dabr()
+4) kvmppc_set_one_reg()
+5) xmon
+
+For ptrace, we now advertise zero breakpoints on POWER9 via the
+PPC_PTRACE_GETHWDBGINFO call. This results in GDB falling back to
+software emulation of the watchpoint (which is slow).
+
+h_set_mode(DAWR) and h_set_dabr() will now return an error to the
+guest on a POWER9 host. Current Linux guests ignore this error, so
+they will silently not get the DAWR.
+
+kvmppc_set_one_reg() will store the value in the vcpu but won't
+actually set it on POWER9 hardware. This is done so we don't break
+migration from POWER8 to POWER9, at the cost of silently losing the
+DAWR on the migration.
+
+For xmon, the 'bd' command will return an error on P9.
+
+Consequences for users
+============================
+
+For GDB watchpoints (ie 'watch' command) on POWER9 bare metal , GDB
+will accept the command. Unfortunately since there is no hardware
+support for the watchpoint, GDB will software emulate the watchpoint
+making it run very slowly.
+
+The same will also be true for any guests started on a POWER9
+host. The watchpoint will fail and GDB will fall back to software
+emulation.
+
+If a guest is started on a POWER8 host, GDB will accept the watchpoint
+and configure the hardware to use the DAWR. This will run at full
+speed since it can use the hardware emulation. Unfortunately if this
+guest is migrated to a POWER9 host, the watchpoint will be lost on the
+POWER9. Loads and stores to the watchpoint locations will not be
+trapped in GDB. The watchpoint is remembered, so if the guest is
+migrated back to the POWER8 host, it will start working again.

+The PowerPC boot wrapper
+------------------------
+Copyright (C) Secret Lab Technologies Ltd.
+
+PowerPC image targets compresses and wraps the kernel image (vmlinux) with
+a boot wrapper to make it usable by the system firmware.  There is no
+standard PowerPC firmware interface, so the boot wrapper is designed to
+be adaptable for each kind of image that needs to be built.
+
+The boot wrapper can be found in the arch/powerpc/boot/ directory.  The
+Makefile in that directory has targets for all the available image types.
+The different image types are used to support all of the various firmware
+interfaces found on PowerPC platforms.  OpenFirmware is the most commonly
+used firmware type on general purpose PowerPC systems from Apple, IBM and
+others.  U-Boot is typically found on embedded PowerPC hardware, but there
+are a handful of other firmware implementations which are also popular.  Each
+firmware interface requires a different image format.
+
+The boot wrapper is built from the makefile in arch/powerpc/boot/Makefile and
+it uses the wrapper script (arch/powerpc/boot/wrapper) to generate target
+image.  The details of the build system is discussed in the next section.
+Currently, the following image format targets exist:
+
+   cuImage.%:		Backwards compatible uImage for older version of
+			U-Boot (for versions that don't understand the device
+			tree).  This image embeds a device tree blob inside
+			the image.  The boot wrapper, kernel and device tree
+			are all embedded inside the U-Boot uImage file format
+			with boot wrapper code that extracts data from the old
+			bd_info structure and loads the data into the device
+			tree before jumping into the kernel.
+			  Because of the series of #ifdefs found in the
+			bd_info structure used in the old U-Boot interfaces,
+			cuImages are platform specific.  Each specific
+			U-Boot platform has a different platform init file
+			which populates the embedded device tree with data
+			from the platform specific bd_info file.  The platform
+			specific cuImage platform init code can be found in
+			arch/powerpc/boot/cuboot.*.c.  Selection of the correct
+			cuImage init code for a specific board can be found in
+			the wrapper structure.
+   dtbImage.%:		Similar to zImage, except device tree blob is embedded
+			inside the image instead of provided by firmware.  The
+			output image file can be either an elf file or a flat
+			binary depending on the platform.
+			  dtbImages are used on systems which do not have an
+			interface for passing a device tree directly.
+			dtbImages are similar to simpleImages except that
+			dtbImages have platform specific code for extracting
+			data from the board firmware, but simpleImages do not
+			talk to the firmware at all.
+			  PlayStation 3 support uses dtbImage.  So do Embedded
+			Planet boards using the PlanetCore firmware.  Board
+			specific initialization code is typically found in a
+			file named arch/powerpc/boot/<platform>.c; but this
+			can be overridden by the wrapper script.
+   simpleImage.%:	Firmware independent compressed image that does not
+			depend on any particular firmware interface and embeds
+			a device tree blob.  This image is a flat binary that
+			can be loaded to any location in RAM and jumped to.
+			Firmware cannot pass any configuration data to the
+			kernel with this image type and it depends entirely on
+			the embedded device tree for all information.
+			  The simpleImage is useful for booting systems with
+			an unknown firmware interface or for booting from
+			a debugger when no firmware is present (such as on
+			the Xilinx Virtex platform).  The only assumption that
+			simpleImage makes is that RAM is correctly initialized
+			and that the MMU is either off or has RAM mapped to
+			base address 0.
+			  simpleImage also supports inserting special platform
+			specific initialization code to the start of the bootup
+			sequence.  The virtex405 platform uses this feature to
+			ensure that the cache is invalidated before caching
+			is enabled.  Platform specific initialization code is
+			added as part of the wrapper script and is keyed on
+			the image target name.  For example, all
+			simpleImage.virtex405-* targets will add the
+			virtex405-head.S initialization code (This also means
+			that the dts file for virtex405 targets should be
+			named (virtex405-<board>.dts).  Search the wrapper
+			script for 'virtex405' and see the file
+			arch/powerpc/boot/virtex405-head.S for details.
+   treeImage.%;		Image format for used with OpenBIOS firmware found
+			on some ppc4xx hardware.  This image embeds a device
+			tree blob inside the image.
+   uImage:		Native image format used by U-Boot.  The uImage target
+			does not add any boot code.  It just wraps a compressed
+			vmlinux in the uImage data structure.  This image
+			requires a version of U-Boot that is able to pass
+			a device tree to the kernel at boot.  If using an older
+			version of U-Boot, then you need to use a cuImage
+			instead.
+   zImage.%:		Image format which does not embed a device tree.
+			Used by OpenFirmware and other firmware interfaces
+			which are able to supply a device tree.  This image
+			expects firmware to provide the device tree at boot.
+			Typically, if you have general purpose PowerPC
+			hardware then you want this image format.
+
+Image types which embed a device tree blob (simpleImage, dtbImage, treeImage,
+and cuImage) all generate the device tree blob from a file in the
+arch/powerpc/boot/dts/ directory.  The Makefile selects the correct device
+tree source based on the name of the target.  Therefore, if the kernel is
+built with 'make treeImage.walnut simpleImage.virtex405-ml403', then the
+build system will use arch/powerpc/boot/dts/walnut.dts to build
+treeImage.walnut and arch/powerpc/boot/dts/virtex405-ml403.dts to build
+the simpleImage.virtex405-ml403.
+
+Two special targets called 'zImage' and 'zImage.initrd' also exist.  These
+targets build all the default images as selected by the kernel configuration.
+Default images are selected by the boot wrapper Makefile
+(arch/powerpc/boot/Makefile) by adding targets to the $image-y variable.  Look
+at the Makefile to see which default image targets are available.
+
+How it is built
+---------------
+arch/powerpc is designed to support multiplatform kernels, which means
+that a single vmlinux image can be booted on many different target boards.
+It also means that the boot wrapper must be able to wrap for many kinds of
+images on a single build.  The design decision was made to not use any
+conditional compilation code (#ifdef, etc) in the boot wrapper source code.
+All of the boot wrapper pieces are buildable at any time regardless of the
+kernel configuration.  Building all the wrapper bits on every kernel build
+also ensures that obscure parts of the wrapper are at the very least compile
+tested in a large variety of environments.
+
+The wrapper is adapted for different image types at link time by linking in
+just the wrapper bits that are appropriate for the image type.  The 'wrapper
+script' (found in arch/powerpc/boot/wrapper) is called by the Makefile and
+is responsible for selecting the correct wrapper bits for the image type.
+The arguments are well documented in the script's comment block, so they
+are not repeated here.  However, it is worth mentioning that the script
+uses the -p (platform) argument as the main method of deciding which wrapper
+bits to compile in.  Look for the large 'case "$platform" in' block in the
+middle of the script.  This is also the place where platform specific fixups
+can be selected by changing the link order.
+
+In particular, care should be taken when working with cuImages.  cuImage
+wrapper bits are very board specific and care should be taken to make sure
+the target you are trying to build is supported by the wrapper bits.

+Hollis Blanchard <hollis@austin.ibm.com>
+5 Jun 2002
+
+This document describes the system (including self-modifying code) used in the
+PPC Linux kernel to support a variety of PowerPC CPUs without requiring
+compile-time selection.
+
+Early in the boot process the ppc32 kernel detects the current CPU type and
+chooses a set of features accordingly. Some examples include Altivec support,
+split instruction and data caches, and if the CPU supports the DOZE and NAP
+sleep modes.
+
+Detection of the feature set is simple. A list of processors can be found in
+arch/powerpc/kernel/cputable.c. The PVR register is masked and compared with
+each value in the list. If a match is found, the cpu_features of cur_cpu_spec
+is assigned to the feature bitmask for this processor and a __setup_cpu
+function is called.
+
+C code may test 'cur_cpu_spec[smp_processor_id()]->cpu_features' for a
+particular feature bit. This is done in quite a few places, for example
+in ppc_setup_l2cr().
+
+Implementing cpufeatures in assembly is a little more involved. There are
+several paths that are performance-critical and would suffer if an array
+index, structure dereference, and conditional branch were added. To avoid the
+performance penalty but still allow for runtime (rather than compile-time) CPU
+selection, unused code is replaced by 'nop' instructions. This nop'ing is
+based on CPU 0's capabilities, so a multi-processor system with non-identical
+processors will not work (but such a system would likely have other problems
+anyways).
+
+After detecting the processor type, the kernel patches out sections of code
+that shouldn't be used by writing nop's over it. Using cpufeatures requires
+just 2 macros (found in arch/powerpc/include/asm/cputable.h), as seen in head.S
+transfer_to_handler:
+
+	#ifdef CONFIG_ALTIVEC
+	BEGIN_FTR_SECTION
+		mfspr	r22,SPRN_VRSAVE		/* if G4, save vrsave register value */
+		stw	r22,THREAD_VRSAVE(r23)
+	END_FTR_SECTION_IFSET(CPU_FTR_ALTIVEC)
+	#endif /* CONFIG_ALTIVEC */
+
+If CPU 0 supports Altivec, the code is left untouched. If it doesn't, both
+instructions are replaced with nop's.
+
+The END_FTR_SECTION macro has two simpler variations: END_FTR_SECTION_IFSET
+and END_FTR_SECTION_IFCLR. These simply test if a flag is set (in
+cur_cpu_spec[0]->cpu_features) or is cleared, respectively. These two macros
+should be used in the majority of cases.
+
+The END_FTR_SECTION macros are implemented by storing information about this
+code in the '__ftr_fixup' ELF section. When do_cpu_ftr_fixups
+(arch/powerpc/kernel/misc.S) is invoked, it will iterate over the records in
+__ftr_fixup, and if the required feature is not present it will loop writing
+nop's from each BEGIN_FTR_SECTION to END_FTR_SECTION.

+Coherent Accelerator Interface (CXL)
+====================================
+
+Introduction
+============
+
+    The coherent accelerator interface is designed to allow the
+    coherent connection of accelerators (FPGAs and other devices) to a
+    POWER system. These devices need to adhere to the Coherent
+    Accelerator Interface Architecture (CAIA).
+
+    IBM refers to this as the Coherent Accelerator Processor Interface
+    or CAPI. In the kernel it's referred to by the name CXL to avoid
+    confusion with the ISDN CAPI subsystem.
+
+    Coherent in this context means that the accelerator and CPUs can
+    both access system memory directly and with the same effective
+    addresses.
+
+
+Hardware overview
+=================
+
+         POWER8/9             FPGA
+       +----------+        +---------+
+       |          |        |         |
+       |   CPU    |        |   AFU   |
+       |          |        |         |
+       |          |        |         |
+       |          |        |         |
+       +----------+        +---------+
+       |   PHB    |        |         |
+       |   +------+        |   PSL   |
+       |   | CAPP |<------>|         |
+       +---+------+  PCIE  +---------+
+
+    The POWER8/9 chip has a Coherently Attached Processor Proxy (CAPP)
+    unit which is part of the PCIe Host Bridge (PHB). This is managed
+    by Linux by calls into OPAL. Linux doesn't directly program the
+    CAPP.
+
+    The FPGA (or coherently attached device) consists of two parts.
+    The POWER Service Layer (PSL) and the Accelerator Function Unit
+    (AFU). The AFU is used to implement specific functionality behind
+    the PSL. The PSL, among other things, provides memory address
+    translation services to allow each AFU direct access to userspace
+    memory.
+
+    The AFU is the core part of the accelerator (eg. the compression,
+    crypto etc function). The kernel has no knowledge of the function
+    of the AFU. Only userspace interacts directly with the AFU.
+
+    The PSL provides the translation and interrupt services that the
+    AFU needs. This is what the kernel interacts with. For example, if
+    the AFU needs to read a particular effective address, it sends
+    that address to the PSL, the PSL then translates it, fetches the
+    data from memory and returns it to the AFU. If the PSL has a
+    translation miss, it interrupts the kernel and the kernel services
+    the fault. The context to which this fault is serviced is based on
+    who owns that acceleration function.
+
+    POWER8 <-----> PSL Version 8 is compliant to the CAIA Version 1.0.
+    POWER9 <-----> PSL Version 9 is compliant to the CAIA Version 2.0.
+    This PSL Version 9 provides new features such as:
+    * Interaction with the nest MMU on the P9 chip.
+    * Native DMA support.
+    * Supports sending ASB_Notify messages for host thread wakeup.
+    * Supports Atomic operations.
+    * ....
+
+    Cards with a PSL9 won't work on a POWER8 system and cards with a
+    PSL8 won't work on a POWER9 system.
+
+AFU Modes
+=========
+
+    There are two programming modes supported by the AFU. Dedicated
+    and AFU directed. AFU may support one or both modes.
+
+    When using dedicated mode only one MMU context is supported. In
+    this mode, only one userspace process can use the accelerator at
+    time.
+
+    When using AFU directed mode, up to 16K simultaneous contexts can
+    be supported. This means up to 16K simultaneous userspace
+    applications may use the accelerator (although specific AFUs may
+    support fewer). In this mode, the AFU sends a 16 bit context ID
+    with each of its requests. This tells the PSL which context is
+    associated with each operation. If the PSL can't translate an
+    operation, the ID can also be accessed by the kernel so it can
+    determine the userspace context associated with an operation.
+
+
+MMIO space
+==========
+
+    A portion of the accelerator MMIO space can be directly mapped
+    from the AFU to userspace. Either the whole space can be mapped or
+    just a per context portion. The hardware is self describing, hence
+    the kernel can determine the offset and size of the per context
+    portion.
+
+
+Interrupts
+==========
+
+    AFUs may generate interrupts that are destined for userspace. These
+    are received by the kernel as hardware interrupts and passed onto
+    userspace by a read syscall documented below.
+
+    Data storage faults and error interrupts are handled by the kernel
+    driver.
+
+
+Work Element Descriptor (WED)
+=============================
+
+    The WED is a 64-bit parameter passed to the AFU when a context is
+    started. Its format is up to the AFU hence the kernel has no
+    knowledge of what it represents. Typically it will be the
+    effective address of a work queue or status block where the AFU
+    and userspace can share control and status information.
+
+
+
+
+User API
+========
+
+1. AFU character devices
+
+    For AFUs operating in AFU directed mode, two character device
+    files will be created. /dev/cxl/afu0.0m will correspond to a
+    master context and /dev/cxl/afu0.0s will correspond to a slave
+    context. Master contexts have access to the full MMIO space an
+    AFU provides. Slave contexts have access to only the per process
+    MMIO space an AFU provides.
+
+    For AFUs operating in dedicated process mode, the driver will
+    only create a single character device per AFU called
+    /dev/cxl/afu0.0d. This will have access to the entire MMIO space
+    that the AFU provides (like master contexts in AFU directed).
+
+    The types described below are defined in include/uapi/misc/cxl.h
+
+    The following file operations are supported on both slave and
+    master devices.
+
+    A userspace library libcxl is available here:
+	https://github.com/ibm-capi/libcxl
+    This provides a C interface to this kernel API.
+
+open
+----
+
+    Opens the device and allocates a file descriptor to be used with
+    the rest of the API.
+
+    A dedicated mode AFU only has one context and only allows the
+    device to be opened once.
+
+    An AFU directed mode AFU can have many contexts, the device can be
+    opened once for each context that is available.
+
+    When all available contexts are allocated the open call will fail
+    and return -ENOSPC.
+
+    Note: IRQs need to be allocated for each context, which may limit
+          the number of contexts that can be created, and therefore
+          how many times the device can be opened. The POWER8 CAPP
+          supports 2040 IRQs and 3 are used by the kernel, so 2037 are
+          left. If 1 IRQ is needed per context, then only 2037
+          contexts can be allocated. If 4 IRQs are needed per context,
+          then only 2037/4 = 509 contexts can be allocated.
+
+
+ioctl
+-----
+
+    CXL_IOCTL_START_WORK:
+        Starts the AFU context and associates it with the current
+        process. Once this ioctl is successfully executed, all memory
+        mapped into this process is accessible to this AFU context
+        using the same effective addresses. No additional calls are
+        required to map/unmap memory. The AFU memory context will be
+        updated as userspace allocates and frees memory. This ioctl
+        returns once the AFU context is started.
+
+        Takes a pointer to a struct cxl_ioctl_start_work:
+
+                struct cxl_ioctl_start_work {
+                        __u64 flags;
+                        __u64 work_element_descriptor;
+                        __u64 amr;
+                        __s16 num_interrupts;
+                        __s16 reserved1;
+                        __s32 reserved2;
+                        __u64 reserved3;
+                        __u64 reserved4;
+                        __u64 reserved5;
+                        __u64 reserved6;
+                };
+
+            flags:
+                Indicates which optional fields in the structure are
+                valid.
+
+            work_element_descriptor:
+                The Work Element Descriptor (WED) is a 64-bit argument
+                defined by the AFU. Typically this is an effective
+                address pointing to an AFU specific structure
+                describing what work to perform.
+
+            amr:
+                Authority Mask Register (AMR), same as the powerpc
+                AMR. This field is only used by the kernel when the
+                corresponding CXL_START_WORK_AMR value is specified in
+                flags. If not specified the kernel will use a default
+                value of 0.
+
+            num_interrupts:
+                Number of userspace interrupts to request. This field
+                is only used by the kernel when the corresponding
+                CXL_START_WORK_NUM_IRQS value is specified in flags.
+                If not specified the minimum number required by the
+                AFU will be allocated. The min and max number can be
+                obtained from sysfs.
+
+            reserved fields:
+                For ABI padding and future extensions
+
+    CXL_IOCTL_GET_PROCESS_ELEMENT:
+        Get the current context id, also known as the process element.
+        The value is returned from the kernel as a __u32.
+
+
+mmap
+----
+
+    An AFU may have an MMIO space to facilitate communication with the
+    AFU. If it does, the MMIO space can be accessed via mmap. The size
+    and contents of this area are specific to the particular AFU. The
+    size can be discovered via sysfs.
+
+    In AFU directed mode, master contexts are allowed to map all of
+    the MMIO space and slave contexts are allowed to only map the per
+    process MMIO space associated with the context. In dedicated
+    process mode the entire MMIO space can always be mapped.
+
+    This mmap call must be done after the START_WORK ioctl.
+
+    Care should be taken when accessing MMIO space. Only 32 and 64-bit
+    accesses are supported by POWER8. Also, the AFU will be designed
+    with a specific endianness, so all MMIO accesses should consider
+    endianness (recommend endian(3) variants like: le64toh(),
+    be64toh() etc). These endian issues equally apply to shared memory
+    queues the WED may describe.
+
+
+read
+----
+
+    Reads events from the AFU. Blocks if no events are pending
+    (unless O_NONBLOCK is supplied). Returns -EIO in the case of an
+    unrecoverable error or if the card is removed.
+
+    read() will always return an integral number of events.
+
+    The buffer passed to read() must be at least 4K bytes.
+
+    The result of the read will be a buffer of one or more events,
+    each event is of type struct cxl_event, of varying size.
+
+            struct cxl_event {
+                    struct cxl_event_header header;
+                    union {
+                            struct cxl_event_afu_interrupt irq;
+                            struct cxl_event_data_storage fault;
+                            struct cxl_event_afu_error afu_error;
+                    };
+            };
+
+    The struct cxl_event_header is defined as:
+
+            struct cxl_event_header {
+                    __u16 type;
+                    __u16 size;
+                    __u16 process_element;
+                    __u16 reserved1;
+            };
+
+        type:
+            This defines the type of event. The type determines how
+            the rest of the event is structured. These types are
+            described below and defined by enum cxl_event_type.
+
+        size:
+            This is the size of the event in bytes including the
+            struct cxl_event_header. The start of the next event can
+            be found at this offset from the start of the current
+            event.
+
+        process_element:
+            Context ID of the event.
+
+        reserved field:
+            For future extensions and padding.
+
+    If the event type is CXL_EVENT_AFU_INTERRUPT then the event
+    structure is defined as:
+
+            struct cxl_event_afu_interrupt {
+                    __u16 flags;
+                    __u16 irq; /* Raised AFU interrupt number */
+                    __u32 reserved1;
+            };
+
+        flags:
+            These flags indicate which optional fields are present
+            in this struct. Currently all fields are mandatory.
+
+        irq:
+            The IRQ number sent by the AFU.
+
+        reserved field:
+            For future extensions and padding.
+
+    If the event type is CXL_EVENT_DATA_STORAGE then the event
+    structure is defined as:
+
+            struct cxl_event_data_storage {
+                    __u16 flags;
+                    __u16 reserved1;
+                    __u32 reserved2;
+                    __u64 addr;
+                    __u64 dsisr;
+                    __u64 reserved3;
+            };
+
+        flags:
+            These flags indicate which optional fields are present in
+            this struct. Currently all fields are mandatory.
+
+        address:
+            The address that the AFU unsuccessfully attempted to
+            access. Valid accesses will be handled transparently by the
+            kernel but invalid accesses will generate this event.
+
+        dsisr:
+            This field gives information on the type of fault. It is a
+            copy of the DSISR from the PSL hardware when the address
+            fault occurred. The form of the DSISR is as defined in the
+            CAIA.
+
+        reserved fields:
+            For future extensions
+
+    If the event type is CXL_EVENT_AFU_ERROR then the event structure
+    is defined as:
+
+            struct cxl_event_afu_error {
+                    __u16 flags;
+                    __u16 reserved1;
+                    __u32 reserved2;
+                    __u64 error;
+            };
+
+        flags:
+            These flags indicate which optional fields are present in
+            this struct. Currently all fields are Mandatory.
+
+        error:
+            Error status from the AFU. Defined by the AFU.
+
+        reserved fields:
+            For future extensions and padding
+
+
+2. Card character device (powerVM guest only)
+
+    In a powerVM guest, an extra character device is created for the
+    card. The device is only used to write (flash) a new image on the
+    FPGA accelerator. Once the image is written and verified, the
+    device tree is updated and the card is reset to reload the updated
+    image.
+
+open
+----
+
+    Opens the device and allocates a file descriptor to be used with
+    the rest of the API. The device can only be opened once.
+
+ioctl
+-----
+
+CXL_IOCTL_DOWNLOAD_IMAGE:
+CXL_IOCTL_VALIDATE_IMAGE:
+    Starts and controls flashing a new FPGA image. Partial
+    reconfiguration is not supported (yet), so the image must contain
+    a copy of the PSL and AFU(s). Since an image can be quite large,
+    the caller may have to iterate, splitting the image in smaller
+    chunks.
+
+    Takes a pointer to a struct cxl_adapter_image:
+        struct cxl_adapter_image {
+            __u64 flags;
+            __u64 data;
+            __u64 len_data;
+            __u64 len_image;
+            __u64 reserved1;
+            __u64 reserved2;
+            __u64 reserved3;
+            __u64 reserved4;
+        };
+
+    flags:
+        These flags indicate which optional fields are present in
+        this struct. Currently all fields are mandatory.
+
+    data:
+        Pointer to a buffer with part of the image to write to the
+        card.
+
+    len_data:
+        Size of the buffer pointed to by data.
+
+    len_image:
+        Full size of the image.
+
+
+Sysfs Class
+===========
+
+    A cxl sysfs class is added under /sys/class/cxl to facilitate
+    enumeration and tuning of the accelerators. Its layout is
+    described in Documentation/ABI/testing/sysfs-class-cxl
+
+
+Udev rules
+==========
+
+    The following udev rules could be used to create a symlink to the
+    most logical chardev to use in any programming mode (afuX.Yd for
+    dedicated, afuX.Ys for afu directed), since the API is virtually
+    identical for each:
+
+	SUBSYSTEM=="cxl", ATTRS{mode}=="dedicated_process", SYMLINK="cxl/%b"
+	SUBSYSTEM=="cxl", ATTRS{mode}=="afu_directed", \
+	                  KERNEL=="afu[0-9]*.[0-9]*s", SYMLINK="cxl/%b"

+    The IBM Power architecture provides support for CAPI (Coherent
+    Accelerator Power Interface), which is available to certain PCIe slots
+    on Power 8 systems. CAPI can be thought of as a special tunneling
+    protocol through PCIe that allow PCIe adapters to look like special
+    purpose co-processors which can read or write an application's
+    memory and generate page faults. As a result, the host interface to
+    an adapter running in CAPI mode does not require the data buffers to
+    be mapped to the device's memory (IOMMU bypass) nor does it require
+    memory to be pinned.
+
+    On Linux, Coherent Accelerator (CXL) kernel services present CAPI
+    devices as a PCI device by implementing a virtual PCI host bridge.
+    This abstraction simplifies the infrastructure and programming
+    model, allowing for drivers to look similar to other native PCI
+    device drivers.
+
+    CXL provides a mechanism by which user space applications can
+    directly talk to a device (network or storage) bypassing the typical
+    kernel/device driver stack. The CXL Flash Adapter Driver enables a
+    user space application direct access to Flash storage.
+
+    The CXL Flash Adapter Driver is a kernel module that sits in the
+    SCSI stack as a low level device driver (below the SCSI disk and
+    protocol drivers) for the IBM CXL Flash Adapter. This driver is
+    responsible for the initialization of the adapter, setting up the
+    special path for user space access, and performing error recovery. It
+    communicates directly the Flash Accelerator Functional Unit (AFU)
+    as described in Documentation/powerpc/cxl.txt.
+
+    The cxlflash driver supports two, mutually exclusive, modes of
+    operation at the device (LUN) level:
+
+        - Any flash device (LUN) can be configured to be accessed as a
+          regular disk device (i.e.: /dev/sdc). This is the default mode.
+
+        - Any flash device (LUN) can be configured to be accessed from
+          user space with a special block library. This mode further
+          specifies the means of accessing the device and provides for
+          either raw access to the entire LUN (referred to as direct
+          or physical LUN access) or access to a kernel/AFU-mediated
+          partition of the LUN (referred to as virtual LUN access). The
+          segmentation of a disk device into virtual LUNs is assisted
+          by special translation services provided by the Flash AFU.
+
+Overview
+========
+
+    The Coherent Accelerator Interface Architecture (CAIA) introduces a
+    concept of a master context. A master typically has special privileges
+    granted to it by the kernel or hypervisor allowing it to perform AFU
+    wide management and control. The master may or may not be involved
+    directly in each user I/O, but at the minimum is involved in the
+    initial setup before the user application is allowed to send requests
+    directly to the AFU.
+
+    The CXL Flash Adapter Driver establishes a master context with the
+    AFU. It uses memory mapped I/O (MMIO) for this control and setup. The
+    Adapter Problem Space Memory Map looks like this:
+
+                     +-------------------------------+
+                     |    512 * 64 KB User MMIO      |
+                     |        (per context)          |
+                     |       User Accessible         |
+                     +-------------------------------+
+                     |    512 * 128 B per context    |
+                     |    Provisioning and Control   |
+                     |   Trusted Process accessible  |
+                     +-------------------------------+
+                     |         64 KB Global          |
+                     |   Trusted Process accessible  |
+                     +-------------------------------+
+
+    This driver configures itself into the SCSI software stack as an
+    adapter driver. The driver is the only entity that is considered a
+    Trusted Process to program the Provisioning and Control and Global
+    areas in the MMIO Space shown above.  The master context driver
+    discovers all LUNs attached to the CXL Flash adapter and instantiates
+    scsi block devices (/dev/sdb, /dev/sdc etc.) for each unique LUN
+    seen from each path.
+
+    Once these scsi block devices are instantiated, an application
+    written to a specification provided by the block library may get
+    access to the Flash from user space (without requiring a system call).
+
+    This master context driver also provides a series of ioctls for this
+    block library to enable this user space access.  The driver supports
+    two modes for accessing the block device.
+
+    The first mode is called a virtual mode. In this mode a single scsi
+    block device (/dev/sdb) may be carved up into any number of distinct
+    virtual LUNs. The virtual LUNs may be resized as long as the sum of
+    the sizes of all the virtual LUNs, along with the meta-data associated
+    with it does not exceed the physical capacity.
+
+    The second mode is called the physical mode. In this mode a single
+    block device (/dev/sdb) may be opened directly by the block library
+    and the entire space for the LUN is available to the application.
+
+    Only the physical mode provides persistence of the data.  i.e. The
+    data written to the block device will survive application exit and
+    restart and also reboot. The virtual LUNs do not persist (i.e. do
+    not survive after the application terminates or the system reboots).
+
+
+Block library API
+=================
+
+    Applications intending to get access to the CXL Flash from user
+    space should use the block library, as it abstracts the details of
+    interfacing directly with the cxlflash driver that are necessary for
+    performing administrative actions (i.e.: setup, tear down, resize).
+    The block library can be thought of as a 'user' of services,
+    implemented as IOCTLs, that are provided by the cxlflash driver
+    specifically for devices (LUNs) operating in user space access
+    mode. While it is not a requirement that applications understand
+    the interface between the block library and the cxlflash driver,
+    a high-level overview of each supported service (IOCTL) is provided
+    below.
+
+    The block library can be found on GitHub:
+    http://github.com/open-power/capiflash
+
+
+CXL Flash Driver LUN IOCTLs
+===========================
+
+    Users, such as the block library, that wish to interface with a flash
+    device (LUN) via user space access need to use the services provided
+    by the cxlflash driver. As these services are implemented as ioctls,
+    a file descriptor handle must first be obtained in order to establish
+    the communication channel between a user and the kernel.  This file
+    descriptor is obtained by opening the device special file associated
+    with the scsi disk device (/dev/sdb) that was created during LUN
+    discovery. As per the location of the cxlflash driver within the
+    SCSI protocol stack, this open is actually not seen by the cxlflash
+    driver. Upon successful open, the user receives a file descriptor
+    (herein referred to as fd1) that should be used for issuing the
+    subsequent ioctls listed below.
+
+    The structure definitions for these IOCTLs are available in:
+    uapi/scsi/cxlflash_ioctl.h
+
+DK_CXLFLASH_ATTACH
+------------------
+
+    This ioctl obtains, initializes, and starts a context using the CXL
+    kernel services. These services specify a context id (u16) by which
+    to uniquely identify the context and its allocated resources. The
+    services additionally provide a second file descriptor (herein
+    referred to as fd2) that is used by the block library to initiate
+    memory mapped I/O (via mmap()) to the CXL flash device and poll for
+    completion events. This file descriptor is intentionally installed by
+    this driver and not the CXL kernel services to allow for intermediary
+    notification and access in the event of a non-user-initiated close(),
+    such as a killed process. This design point is described in further
+    detail in the description for the DK_CXLFLASH_DETACH ioctl.
+
+    There are a few important aspects regarding the "tokens" (context id
+    and fd2) that are provided back to the user:
+
+        - These tokens are only valid for the process under which they
+          were created. The child of a forked process cannot continue
+          to use the context id or file descriptor created by its parent
+          (see DK_CXLFLASH_VLUN_CLONE for further details).
+
+        - These tokens are only valid for the lifetime of the context and
+          the process under which they were created. Once either is
+          destroyed, the tokens are to be considered stale and subsequent
+          usage will result in errors.
+
+	- A valid adapter file descriptor (fd2 >= 0) is only returned on
+	  the initial attach for a context. Subsequent attaches to an
+	  existing context (DK_CXLFLASH_ATTACH_REUSE_CONTEXT flag present)
+	  do not provide the adapter file descriptor as it was previously
+	  made known to the application.
+
+        - When a context is no longer needed, the user shall detach from
+          the context via the DK_CXLFLASH_DETACH ioctl. When this ioctl
+	  returns with a valid adapter file descriptor and the return flag
+	  DK_CXLFLASH_APP_CLOSE_ADAP_FD is present, the application _must_
+	  close the adapter file descriptor following a successful detach.
+
+	- When this ioctl returns with a valid fd2 and the return flag
+	  DK_CXLFLASH_APP_CLOSE_ADAP_FD is present, the application _must_
+	  close fd2 in the following circumstances:
+
+		+ Following a successful detach of the last user of the context
+		+ Following a successful recovery on the context's original fd2
+		+ In the child process of a fork(), following a clone ioctl,
+		  on the fd2 associated with the source context
+
+        - At any time, a close on fd2 will invalidate the tokens. Applications
+	  should exercise caution to only close fd2 when appropriate (outlined
+	  in the previous bullet) to avoid premature loss of I/O.
+
+DK_CXLFLASH_USER_DIRECT
+-----------------------
+    This ioctl is responsible for transitioning the LUN to direct
+    (physical) mode access and configuring the AFU for direct access from
+    user space on a per-context basis. Additionally, the block size and
+    last logical block address (LBA) are returned to the user.
+
+    As mentioned previously, when operating in user space access mode,
+    LUNs may be accessed in whole or in part. Only one mode is allowed
+    at a time and if one mode is active (outstanding references exist),
+    requests to use the LUN in a different mode are denied.
+
+    The AFU is configured for direct access from user space by adding an
+    entry to the AFU's resource handle table. The index of the entry is
+    treated as a resource handle that is returned to the user. The user
+    is then able to use the handle to reference the LUN during I/O.
+
+DK_CXLFLASH_USER_VIRTUAL
+------------------------
+    This ioctl is responsible for transitioning the LUN to virtual mode
+    of access and configuring the AFU for virtual access from user space
+    on a per-context basis. Additionally, the block size and last logical
+    block address (LBA) are returned to the user.
+
+    As mentioned previously, when operating in user space access mode,
+    LUNs may be accessed in whole or in part. Only one mode is allowed
+    at a time and if one mode is active (outstanding references exist),
+    requests to use the LUN in a different mode are denied.
+
+    The AFU is configured for virtual access from user space by adding
+    an entry to the AFU's resource handle table. The index of the entry
+    is treated as a resource handle that is returned to the user. The
+    user is then able to use the handle to reference the LUN during I/O.
+
+    By default, the virtual LUN is created with a size of 0. The user
+    would need to use the DK_CXLFLASH_VLUN_RESIZE ioctl to adjust the grow
+    the virtual LUN to a desired size. To avoid having to perform this
+    resize for the initial creation of the virtual LUN, the user has the
+    option of specifying a size as part of the DK_CXLFLASH_USER_VIRTUAL
+    ioctl, such that when success is returned to the user, the
+    resource handle that is provided is already referencing provisioned
+    storage. This is reflected by the last LBA being a non-zero value.
+
+    When a LUN is accessible from more than one port, this ioctl will
+    return with the DK_CXLFLASH_ALL_PORTS_ACTIVE return flag set. This
+    provides the user with a hint that I/O can be retried in the event
+    of an I/O error as the LUN can be reached over multiple paths.
+
+DK_CXLFLASH_VLUN_RESIZE
+-----------------------
+    This ioctl is responsible for resizing a previously created virtual
+    LUN and will fail if invoked upon a LUN that is not in virtual
+    mode. Upon success, an updated last LBA is returned to the user
+    indicating the new size of the virtual LUN associated with the
+    resource handle.
+
+    The partitioning of virtual LUNs is jointly mediated by the cxlflash
+    driver and the AFU. An allocation table is kept for each LUN that is
+    operating in the virtual mode and used to program a LUN translation
+    table that the AFU references when provided with a resource handle.
+
+    This ioctl can return -EAGAIN if an AFU sync operation takes too long.
+    In addition to returning a failure to user, cxlflash will also schedule
+    an asynchronous AFU reset. Should the user choose to retry the operation,
+    it is expected to succeed. If this ioctl fails with -EAGAIN, the user
+    can either retry the operation or treat it as a failure.
+
+DK_CXLFLASH_RELEASE
+-------------------
+    This ioctl is responsible for releasing a previously obtained
+    reference to either a physical or virtual LUN. This can be
+    thought of as the inverse of the DK_CXLFLASH_USER_DIRECT or
+    DK_CXLFLASH_USER_VIRTUAL ioctls. Upon success, the resource handle
+    is no longer valid and the entry in the resource handle table is
+    made available to be used again.
+
+    As part of the release process for virtual LUNs, the virtual LUN
+    is first resized to 0 to clear out and free the translation tables
+    associated with the virtual LUN reference.
+
+DK_CXLFLASH_DETACH
+------------------
+    This ioctl is responsible for unregistering a context with the
+    cxlflash driver and release outstanding resources that were
+    not explicitly released via the DK_CXLFLASH_RELEASE ioctl. Upon
+    success, all "tokens" which had been provided to the user from the
+    DK_CXLFLASH_ATTACH onward are no longer valid.
+
+    When the DK_CXLFLASH_APP_CLOSE_ADAP_FD flag was returned on a successful
+    attach, the application _must_ close the fd2 associated with the context
+    following the detach of the final user of the context.
+
+DK_CXLFLASH_VLUN_CLONE
+----------------------
+    This ioctl is responsible for cloning a previously created
+    context to a more recently created context. It exists solely to
+    support maintaining user space access to storage after a process
+    forks. Upon success, the child process (which invoked the ioctl)
+    will have access to the same LUNs via the same resource handle(s)
+    as the parent, but under a different context.
+
+    Context sharing across processes is not supported with CXL and
+    therefore each fork must be met with establishing a new context
+    for the child process. This ioctl simplifies the state management
+    and playback required by a user in such a scenario. When a process
+    forks, child process can clone the parents context by first creating
+    a context (via DK_CXLFLASH_ATTACH) and then using this ioctl to
+    perform the clone from the parent to the child.
+
+    The clone itself is fairly simple. The resource handle and lun
+    translation tables are copied from the parent context to the child's
+    and then synced with the AFU.
+
+    When the DK_CXLFLASH_APP_CLOSE_ADAP_FD flag was returned on a successful
+    attach, the application _must_ close the fd2 associated with the source
+    context (still resident/accessible in the parent process) following the
+    clone. This is to avoid a stale entry in the file descriptor table of the
+    child process.
+
+    This ioctl can return -EAGAIN if an AFU sync operation takes too long.
+    In addition to returning a failure to user, cxlflash will also schedule
+    an asynchronous AFU reset. Should the user choose to retry the operation,
+    it is expected to succeed. If this ioctl fails with -EAGAIN, the user
+    can either retry the operation or treat it as a failure.
+
+DK_CXLFLASH_VERIFY
+------------------
+    This ioctl is used to detect various changes such as the capacity of
+    the disk changing, the number of LUNs visible changing, etc. In cases
+    where the changes affect the application (such as a LUN resize), the
+    cxlflash driver will report the changed state to the application.
+
+    The user calls in when they want to validate that a LUN hasn't been
+    changed in response to a check condition. As the user is operating out
+    of band from the kernel, they will see these types of events without
+    the kernel's knowledge. When encountered, the user's architected
+    behavior is to call in to this ioctl, indicating what they want to
+    verify and passing along any appropriate information. For now, only
+    verifying a LUN change (ie: size different) with sense data is
+    supported.
+
+DK_CXLFLASH_RECOVER_AFU
+-----------------------
+    This ioctl is used to drive recovery (if such an action is warranted)
+    of a specified user context. Any state associated with the user context
+    is re-established upon successful recovery.
+
+    User contexts are put into an error condition when the device needs to
+    be reset or is terminating. Users are notified of this error condition
+    by seeing all 0xF's on an MMIO read. Upon encountering this, the
+    architected behavior for a user is to call into this ioctl to recover
+    their context. A user may also call into this ioctl at any time to
+    check if the device is operating normally. If a failure is returned
+    from this ioctl, the user is expected to gracefully clean up their
+    context via release/detach ioctls. Until they do, the context they
+    hold is not relinquished. The user may also optionally exit the process
+    at which time the context/resources they held will be freed as part of
+    the release fop.
+
+    When the DK_CXLFLASH_APP_CLOSE_ADAP_FD flag was returned on a successful
+    attach, the application _must_ unmap and close the fd2 associated with the
+    original context following this ioctl returning success and indicating that
+    the context was recovered (DK_CXLFLASH_RECOVER_AFU_CONTEXT_RESET).
+
+DK_CXLFLASH_MANAGE_LUN
+----------------------
+    This ioctl is used to switch a LUN from a mode where it is available
+    for file-system access (legacy), to a mode where it is set aside for
+    exclusive user space access (superpipe). In case a LUN is visible
+    across multiple ports and adapters, this ioctl is used to uniquely
+    identify each LUN by its World Wide Node Name (WWNN).
+
+
+CXL Flash Driver Host IOCTLs
+============================
+
+    Each host adapter instance that is supported by the cxlflash driver
+    has a special character device associated with it to enable a set of
+    host management function. These character devices are hosted in a
+    class dedicated for cxlflash and can be accessed via /dev/cxlflash/*.
+
+    Applications can be written to perform various functions using the
+    host ioctl APIs below.
+
+    The structure definitions for these IOCTLs are available in:
+    uapi/scsi/cxlflash_ioctl.h
+
+HT_CXLFLASH_LUN_PROVISION
+-------------------------
+    This ioctl is used to create and delete persistent LUNs on cxlflash
+    devices that lack an external LUN management interface. It is only
+    valid when used with AFUs that support the LUN provision capability.
+
+    When sufficient space is available, LUNs can be created by specifying
+    the target port to host the LUN and a desired size in 4K blocks. Upon
+    success, the LUN ID and WWID of the created LUN will be returned and
+    the SCSI bus can be scanned to detect the change in LUN topology. Note
+    that partial allocations are not supported. Should a creation fail due
+    to a space issue, the target port can be queried for its current LUN
+    geometry.
+
+    To remove a LUN, the device must first be disassociated from the Linux
+    SCSI subsystem. The LUN deletion can then be initiated by specifying a
+    target port and LUN ID. Upon success, the LUN geometry associated with
+    the port will be updated to reflect new number of provisioned LUNs and
+    available capacity.
+
+    To query the LUN geometry of a port, the target port is specified and
+    upon success, the following information is presented:
+
+        - Maximum number of provisioned LUNs allowed for the port
+        - Current number of provisioned LUNs for the port
+        - Maximum total capacity of provisioned LUNs for the port (4K blocks)
+        - Current total capacity of provisioned LUNs for the port (4K blocks)
+
+    With this information, the number of available LUNs and capacity can be
+    can be calculated.
+
+HT_CXLFLASH_AFU_DEBUG
+---------------------
+    This ioctl is used to debug AFUs by supporting a command pass-through
+    interface. It is only valid when used with AFUs that support the AFU
+    debug capability.
+
+    With exception of buffer management, AFU debug commands are opaque to
+    cxlflash and treated as pass-through. For debug commands that do require
+    data transfer, the user supplies an adequately sized data buffer and must
+    specify the data transfer direction with respect to the host. There is a
+    maximum transfer size of 256K imposed. Note that partial read completions
+    are not supported - when errors are experienced with a host read data
+    transfer, the data buffer is not copied back to the user.

+			DSCR (Data Stream Control Register)
+		================================================
+
+DSCR register in powerpc allows user to have some control of prefetch of data
+stream in the processor. Please refer to the ISA documents or related manual
+for more detailed information regarding how to use this DSCR to attain this
+control of the prefetches . This document here provides an overview of kernel
+support for DSCR, related kernel objects, it's functionalities and exported
+user interface.
+
+(A) Data Structures:
+
+	(1) thread_struct:
+		dscr		/* Thread DSCR value */
+		dscr_inherit	/* Thread has changed default DSCR */
+
+	(2) PACA:
+		dscr_default	/* per-CPU DSCR default value */
+
+	(3) sysfs.c:
+		dscr_default	/* System DSCR default value */
+
+(B) Scheduler Changes:
+
+	Scheduler will write the per-CPU DSCR default which is stored in the
+	CPU's PACA value into the register if the thread has dscr_inherit value
+	cleared which means that it has not changed the default DSCR till now.
+	If the dscr_inherit value is set which means that it has changed the
+	default DSCR value, scheduler will write the changed value which will
+	now be contained in thread struct's dscr into the register instead of
+	the per-CPU default PACA based DSCR value.
+
+	NOTE: Please note here that the system wide global DSCR value never
+	gets used directly in the scheduler process context switch at all.
+
+(C) SYSFS Interface:
+
+	Global DSCR default:		/sys/devices/system/cpu/dscr_default
+	CPU specific DSCR default:	/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuN/dscr
+
+	Changing the global DSCR default in the sysfs will change all the CPU
+	specific DSCR defaults immediately in their PACA structures. Again if
+	the current process has the dscr_inherit clear, it also writes the new
+	value into every CPU's DSCR register right away and updates the current
+	thread's DSCR value as well.
+
+	Changing the CPU specific DSCR default value in the sysfs does exactly
+	the same thing as above but unlike the global one above, it just changes
+	stuff for that particular CPU instead for all the CPUs on the system.
+
+(D) User Space Instructions:
+
+	The DSCR register can be accessed in the user space using any of these
+	two SPR numbers available for that purpose.
+
+	(1) Problem state SPR:		0x03	(Un-privileged, POWER8 only)
+	(2) Privileged state SPR:	0x11	(Privileged)
+
+	Accessing DSCR through privileged SPR number (0x11) from user space
+	works, as it is emulated following an illegal instruction exception
+	inside the kernel. Both mfspr and mtspr instructions are emulated.
+
+	Accessing DSCR through user level SPR (0x03) from user space will first
+	create a facility unavailable exception. Inside this exception handler
+	all mfspr instruction based read attempts will get emulated and returned
+	where as the first mtspr instruction based write attempts will enable
+	the DSCR facility for the next time around (both for read and write) by
+	setting DSCR facility in the FSCR register.
+
+(E) Specifics about 'dscr_inherit':
+
+	The thread struct element 'dscr_inherit' represents whether the thread
+	in question has attempted and changed the DSCR itself using any of the
+	following methods. This element signifies whether the thread wants to
+	use the CPU default DSCR value or its own changed DSCR value in the
+	kernel.
+
+		(1) mtspr instruction	(SPR number 0x03)
+		(2) mtspr instruction	(SPR number 0x11)
+		(3) ptrace interface	(Explicitly set user DSCR value)
+
+	Any child of the process created after this event in the process inherits

+
+
+Overview:
+---------
+The IBM POWER-based pSeries and iSeries computers include PCI bus
+controller chips that have extended capabilities for detecting and
+reporting a large variety of PCI bus error conditions.  These features
+go under the name of "EEH", for "Enhanced Error Handling".  The EEH
+hardware features allow PCI bus errors to be cleared and a PCI
+card to be "rebooted", without also having to reboot the operating
+system.
+
+This is in contrast to traditional PCI error handling, where the
+PCI chip is wired directly to the CPU, and an error would cause
+a CPU machine-check/check-stop condition, halting the CPU entirely.
+Another "traditional" technique is to ignore such errors, which
+can lead to data corruption, both of user data or of kernel data,
+hung/unresponsive adapters, or system crashes/lockups.  Thus,
+the idea behind EEH is that the operating system can become more
+reliable and robust by protecting it from PCI errors, and giving
+the OS the ability to "reboot"/recover individual PCI devices.
+
+Future systems from other vendors, based on the PCI-E specification,
+may contain similar features.
+
+
+Causes of EEH Errors
+--------------------
+EEH was originally designed to guard against hardware failure, such
+as PCI cards dying from heat, humidity, dust, vibration and bad
+electrical connections. The vast majority of EEH errors seen in
+"real life" are due to either poorly seated PCI cards, or,
+unfortunately quite commonly, due to device driver bugs, device firmware
+bugs, and sometimes PCI card hardware bugs.
+
+The most common software bug, is one that causes the device to
+attempt to DMA to a location in system memory that has not been
+reserved for DMA access for that card.  This is a powerful feature,
+as it prevents what; otherwise, would have been silent memory
+corruption caused by the bad DMA.  A number of device driver
+bugs have been found and fixed in this way over the past few
+years.  Other possible causes of EEH errors include data or
+address line parity errors (for example, due to poor electrical
+connectivity due to a poorly seated card), and PCI-X split-completion
+errors (due to software, device firmware, or device PCI hardware bugs).
+The vast majority of "true hardware failures" can be cured by
+physically removing and re-seating the PCI card.
+
+
+Detection and Recovery
+----------------------
+In the following discussion, a generic overview of how to detect
+and recover from EEH errors will be presented. This is followed
+by an overview of how the current implementation in the Linux
+kernel does it.  The actual implementation is subject to change,
+and some of the finer points are still being debated.  These
+may in turn be swayed if or when other architectures implement
+similar functionality.
+
+When a PCI Host Bridge (PHB, the bus controller connecting the
+PCI bus to the system CPU electronics complex) detects a PCI error
+condition, it will "isolate" the affected PCI card.  Isolation
+will block all writes (either to the card from the system, or
+from the card to the system), and it will cause all reads to
+return all-ff's (0xff, 0xffff, 0xffffffff for 8/16/32-bit reads).
+This value was chosen because it is the same value you would
+get if the device was physically unplugged from the slot.
+This includes access to PCI memory, I/O space, and PCI config
+space.  Interrupts; however, will continued to be delivered.
+
+Detection and recovery are performed with the aid of ppc64
+firmware.  The programming interfaces in the Linux kernel
+into the firmware are referred to as RTAS (Run-Time Abstraction
+Services).  The Linux kernel does not (should not) access
+the EEH function in the PCI chipsets directly, primarily because
+there are a number of different chipsets out there, each with
+different interfaces and quirks. The firmware provides a
+uniform abstraction layer that will work with all pSeries
+and iSeries hardware (and be forwards-compatible).
+
+If the OS or device driver suspects that a PCI slot has been
+EEH-isolated, there is a firmware call it can make to determine if
+this is the case. If so, then the device driver should put itself
+into a consistent state (given that it won't be able to complete any
+pending work) and start recovery of the card.  Recovery normally
+would consist of resetting the PCI device (holding the PCI #RST
+line high for two seconds), followed by setting up the device
+config space (the base address registers (BAR's), latency timer,
+cache line size, interrupt line, and so on).  This is followed by a
+reinitialization of the device driver.  In a worst-case scenario,
+the power to the card can be toggled, at least on hot-plug-capable
+slots.  In principle, layers far above the device driver probably
+do not need to know that the PCI card has been "rebooted" in this
+way; ideally, there should be at most a pause in Ethernet/disk/USB
+I/O while the card is being reset.
+
+If the card cannot be recovered after three or four resets, the
+kernel/device driver should assume the worst-case scenario, that the
+card has died completely, and report this error to the sysadmin.
+In addition, error messages are reported through RTAS and also through
+syslogd (/var/log/messages) to alert the sysadmin of PCI resets.
+The correct way to deal with failed adapters is to use the standard
+PCI hotplug tools to remove and replace the dead card.
+
+
+Current PPC64 Linux EEH Implementation
+--------------------------------------
+At this time, a generic EEH recovery mechanism has been implemented,
+so that individual device drivers do not need to be modified to support
+EEH recovery.  This generic mechanism piggy-backs on the PCI hotplug
+infrastructure,  and percolates events up through the userspace/udev
+infrastructure.  Following is a detailed description of how this is
+accomplished.
+
+EEH must be enabled in the PHB's very early during the boot process,
+and if a PCI slot is hot-plugged. The former is performed by
+eeh_init() in arch/powerpc/platforms/pseries/eeh.c, and the later by
+drivers/pci/hotplug/pSeries_pci.c calling in to the eeh.c code.
+EEH must be enabled before a PCI scan of the device can proceed.
+Current Power5 hardware will not work unless EEH is enabled;
+although older Power4 can run with it disabled.  Effectively,
+EEH can no longer be turned off.  PCI devices *must* be
+registered with the EEH code; the EEH code needs to know about
+the I/O address ranges of the PCI device in order to detect an
+error.  Given an arbitrary address, the routine
+pci_get_device_by_addr() will find the pci device associated
+with that address (if any).
+
+The default arch/powerpc/include/asm/io.h macros readb(), inb(), insb(),
+etc. include a check to see if the i/o read returned all-0xff's.
+If so, these make a call to eeh_dn_check_failure(), which in turn
+asks the firmware if the all-ff's value is the sign of a true EEH
+error.  If it is not, processing continues as normal.  The grand
+total number of these false alarms or "false positives" can be
+seen in /proc/ppc64/eeh (subject to change).  Normally, almost
+all of these occur during boot, when the PCI bus is scanned, where
+a large number of 0xff reads are part of the bus scan procedure.
+
+If a frozen slot is detected, code in 
+arch/powerpc/platforms/pseries/eeh.c will print a stack trace to 
+syslog (/var/log/messages).  This stack trace has proven to be very 
+useful to device-driver authors for finding out at what point the EEH 
+error was detected, as the error itself usually occurs slightly 
+beforehand.
+
+Next, it uses the Linux kernel notifier chain/work queue mechanism to
+allow any interested parties to find out about the failure.  Device
+drivers, or other parts of the kernel, can use
+eeh_register_notifier(struct notifier_block *) to find out about EEH
+events.  The event will include a pointer to the pci device, the
+device node and some state info.  Receivers of the event can "do as
+they wish"; the default handler will be described further in this
+section.
+
+To assist in the recovery of the device, eeh.c exports the
+following functions:
+
+rtas_set_slot_reset() -- assert the  PCI #RST line for 1/8th of a second
+rtas_configure_bridge() -- ask firmware to configure any PCI bridges
+   located topologically under the pci slot.
+eeh_save_bars() and eeh_restore_bars(): save and restore the PCI
+   config-space info for a device and any devices under it.
+
+
+A handler for the EEH notifier_block events is implemented in
+drivers/pci/hotplug/pSeries_pci.c, called handle_eeh_events().
+It saves the device BAR's and then calls rpaphp_unconfig_pci_adapter().
+This last call causes the device driver for the card to be stopped,
+which causes uevents to go out to user space. This triggers
+user-space scripts that might issue commands such as "ifdown eth0"
+for ethernet cards, and so on.  This handler then sleeps for 5 seconds,
+hoping to give the user-space scripts enough time to complete.
+It then resets the PCI card, reconfigures the device BAR's, and
+any bridges underneath. It then calls rpaphp_enable_pci_slot(),
+which restarts the device driver and triggers more user-space
+events (for example, calling "ifup eth0" for ethernet cards).
+
+
+Device Shutdown and User-Space Events
+-------------------------------------
+This section documents what happens when a pci slot is unconfigured,
+focusing on how the device driver gets shut down, and on how the
+events get delivered to user-space scripts.
+
+Following is an example sequence of events that cause a device driver
+close function to be called during the first phase of an EEH reset.
+The following sequence is an example of the pcnet32 device driver.
+
+    rpa_php_unconfig_pci_adapter (struct slot *)  // in rpaphp_pci.c
+    {
+      calls
+      pci_remove_bus_device (struct pci_dev *) // in /drivers/pci/remove.c
+      {
+        calls
+        pci_destroy_dev (struct pci_dev *)
+        {
+          calls
+          device_unregister (&dev->dev) // in /drivers/base/core.c
+          {
+            calls
+            device_del (struct device *)
+            {
+              calls
+              bus_remove_device() // in /drivers/base/bus.c
+              {
+                calls
+                device_release_driver()
+                {
+                  calls
+                  struct device_driver->remove() which is just
+                  pci_device_remove()  // in /drivers/pci/pci_driver.c
+                  {
+                    calls
+                    struct pci_driver->remove() which is just
+                    pcnet32_remove_one() // in /drivers/net/pcnet32.c
+                    {
+                      calls
+                      unregister_netdev() // in /net/core/dev.c
+                      {
+                        calls
+                        dev_close()  // in /net/core/dev.c
+                        {
+                           calls dev->stop();
+                           which is just pcnet32_close() // in pcnet32.c
+                           {
+                             which does what you wanted
+                             to stop the device
+                           }
+                        }
+                     }
+                   which
+                   frees pcnet32 device driver memory
+                }
+     }}}}}}
+
+
+    in drivers/pci/pci_driver.c,
+    struct device_driver->remove() is just pci_device_remove()
+    which calls struct pci_driver->remove() which is pcnet32_remove_one()
+    which calls unregister_netdev()  (in net/core/dev.c)
+    which calls dev_close()  (in net/core/dev.c)
+    which calls dev->stop() which is pcnet32_close()
+    which then does the appropriate shutdown.
+
+---
+Following is the analogous stack trace for events sent to user-space
+when the pci device is unconfigured.
+
+rpa_php_unconfig_pci_adapter() {             // in rpaphp_pci.c
+  calls
+  pci_remove_bus_device (struct pci_dev *) { // in /drivers/pci/remove.c
+    calls
+    pci_destroy_dev (struct pci_dev *) {
+      calls
+      device_unregister (&dev->dev) {        // in /drivers/base/core.c
+        calls
+        device_del(struct device * dev) {    // in /drivers/base/core.c
+          calls
+          kobject_del() {                    //in /libs/kobject.c
+            calls
+            kobject_uevent() {               // in /libs/kobject.c
+              calls
+              kset_uevent() {                // in /lib/kobject.c
+                calls
+                kset->uevent_ops->uevent()   // which is really just
+                a call to
+                dev_uevent() {               // in /drivers/base/core.c
+                  calls
+                  dev->bus->uevent() which is really just a call to
+                  pci_uevent () {            // in drivers/pci/hotplug.c
+                    which prints device name, etc....
+                 }
+               }
+               then kobject_uevent() sends a netlink uevent to userspace
+               --> userspace uevent
+               (during early boot, nobody listens to netlink events and
+               kobject_uevent() executes uevent_helper[], which runs the
+               event process /sbin/hotplug)
+           }
+         }
+         kobject_del() then calls sysfs_remove_dir(), which would
+         trigger any user-space daemon that was watching /sysfs,
+         and notice the delete event.
+
+
+Pro's and Con's of the Current Design
+-------------------------------------
+There are several issues with the current EEH software recovery design,
+which may be addressed in future revisions.  But first, note that the
+big plus of the current design is that no changes need to be made to
+individual device drivers, so that the current design throws a wide net.
+The biggest negative of the design is that it potentially disturbs
+network daemons and file systems that didn't need to be disturbed.
+
+-- A minor complaint is that resetting the network card causes
+   user-space back-to-back ifdown/ifup burps that potentially disturb
+   network daemons, that didn't need to even know that the pci
+   card was being rebooted.
+
+-- A more serious concern is that the same reset, for SCSI devices,
+   causes havoc to mounted file systems.  Scripts cannot post-facto
+   unmount a file system without flushing pending buffers, but this
+   is impossible, because I/O has already been stopped.  Thus,
+   ideally, the reset should happen at or below the block layer,
+   so that the file systems are not disturbed.
+
+   Reiserfs does not tolerate errors returned from the block device.
+   Ext3fs seems to be tolerant, retrying reads/writes until it does
+   succeed. Both have been only lightly tested in this scenario.
+
+   The SCSI-generic subsystem already has built-in code for performing
+   SCSI device resets, SCSI bus resets, and SCSI host-bus-adapter
+   (HBA) resets.  These are cascaded into a chain of attempted
+   resets if a SCSI command fails. These are completely hidden
+   from the block layer.  It would be very natural to add an EEH
+   reset into this chain of events.
+
+-- If a SCSI error occurs for the root device, all is lost unless
+   the sysadmin had the foresight to run /bin, /sbin, /etc, /var
+   and so on, out of ramdisk/tmpfs.
+

+                   Firmware-Assisted Dump
+                   ------------------------
+                       July 2011
+
+The goal of firmware-assisted dump is to enable the dump of
+a crashed system, and to do so from a fully-reset system, and
+to minimize the total elapsed time until the system is back
+in production use.
+
+- Firmware assisted dump (fadump) infrastructure is intended to replace
+  the existing phyp assisted dump.
+- Fadump uses the same firmware interfaces and memory reservation model
+  as phyp assisted dump.
+- Unlike phyp dump, fadump exports the memory dump through /proc/vmcore
+  in the ELF format in the same way as kdump. This helps us reuse the
+  kdump infrastructure for dump capture and filtering.
+- Unlike phyp dump, userspace tool does not need to refer any sysfs
+  interface while reading /proc/vmcore.
+- Unlike phyp dump, fadump allows user to release all the memory reserved
+  for dump, with a single operation of echo 1 > /sys/kernel/fadump_release_mem.
+- Once enabled through kernel boot parameter, fadump can be
+  started/stopped through /sys/kernel/fadump_registered interface (see
+  sysfs files section below) and can be easily integrated with kdump
+  service start/stop init scripts.
+
+Comparing with kdump or other strategies, firmware-assisted
+dump offers several strong, practical advantages:
+
+-- Unlike kdump, the system has been reset, and loaded
+   with a fresh copy of the kernel.  In particular,
+   PCI and I/O devices have been reinitialized and are
+   in a clean, consistent state.
+-- Once the dump is copied out, the memory that held the dump
+   is immediately available to the running kernel. And therefore,
+   unlike kdump, fadump doesn't need a 2nd reboot to get back
+   the system to the production configuration.
+
+The above can only be accomplished by coordination with,
+and assistance from the Power firmware. The procedure is
+as follows:
+
+-- The first kernel registers the sections of memory with the
+   Power firmware for dump preservation during OS initialization.
+   These registered sections of memory are reserved by the first
+   kernel during early boot.
+
+-- When a system crashes, the Power firmware will save
+   the low memory (boot memory of size larger of 5% of system RAM
+   or 256MB) of RAM to the previous registered region. It will
+   also save system registers, and hardware PTE's.
+
+   NOTE: The term 'boot memory' means size of the low memory chunk
+         that is required for a kernel to boot successfully when
+         booted with restricted memory. By default, the boot memory
+         size will be the larger of 5% of system RAM or 256MB.
+         Alternatively, user can also specify boot memory size
+         through boot parameter 'crashkernel=' which will override
+         the default calculated size. Use this option if default
+         boot memory size is not sufficient for second kernel to
+         boot successfully. For syntax of crashkernel= parameter,
+         refer to Documentation/kdump/kdump.txt. If any offset is
+         provided in crashkernel= parameter, it will be ignored
+         as fadump uses a predefined offset to reserve memory
+         for boot memory dump preservation in case of a crash.
+
+-- After the low memory (boot memory) area has been saved, the
+   firmware will reset PCI and other hardware state.  It will
+   *not* clear the RAM. It will then launch the bootloader, as
+   normal.
+
+-- The freshly booted kernel will notice that there is a new
+   node (ibm,dump-kernel) in the device tree, indicating that
+   there is crash data available from a previous boot. During
+   the early boot OS will reserve rest of the memory above
+   boot memory size effectively booting with restricted memory
+   size. This will make sure that the second kernel will not
+   touch any of the dump memory area.
+
+-- User-space tools will read /proc/vmcore to obtain the contents
+   of memory, which holds the previous crashed kernel dump in ELF
+   format. The userspace tools may copy this info to disk, or
+   network, nas, san, iscsi, etc. as desired.
+
+-- Once the userspace tool is done saving dump, it will echo
+   '1' to /sys/kernel/fadump_release_mem to release the reserved
+   memory back to general use, except the memory required for
+   next firmware-assisted dump registration.
+
+   e.g.
+     # echo 1 > /sys/kernel/fadump_release_mem
+
+Please note that the firmware-assisted dump feature
+is only available on Power6 and above systems with recent
+firmware versions.
+
+Implementation details:
+----------------------
+
+During boot, a check is made to see if firmware supports
+this feature on that particular machine. If it does, then
+we check to see if an active dump is waiting for us. If yes
+then everything but boot memory size of RAM is reserved during
+early boot (See Fig. 2). This area is released once we finish
+collecting the dump from user land scripts (e.g. kdump scripts)
+that are run. If there is dump data, then the
+/sys/kernel/fadump_release_mem file is created, and the reserved
+memory is held.
+
+If there is no waiting dump data, then only the memory required
+to hold CPU state, HPTE region, boot memory dump and elfcore
+header, is usually reserved at an offset greater than boot memory
+size (see Fig. 1). This area is *not* released: this region will
+be kept permanently reserved, so that it can act as a receptacle
+for a copy of the boot memory content in addition to CPU state
+and HPTE region, in the case a crash does occur.

+
+Currently the dump will be copied from /proc/vmcore to a
+a new file upon user intervention. The dump data available through
+/proc/vmcore will be in ELF format. Hence the existing kdump
+infrastructure (kdump scripts) to save the dump works fine with
+minor modifications.
+
+The tools to examine the dump will be same as the ones
+used for kdump.
+
+How to enable firmware-assisted dump (fadump):
+-------------------------------------
+
+1. Set config option CONFIG_FA_DUMP=y and build kernel.
+2. Boot into linux kernel with 'fadump=on' kernel cmdline option.
+3. Optionally, user can also set 'crashkernel=' kernel cmdline
+   to specify size of the memory to reserve for boot memory dump
+   preservation.
+
+NOTE: 1. 'fadump_reserve_mem=' parameter has been deprecated. Instead
+         use 'crashkernel=' to specify size of the memory to reserve
+         for boot memory dump preservation.
+      2. If firmware-assisted dump fails to reserve memory then it
+         will fallback to existing kdump mechanism if 'crashkernel='
+         option is set at kernel cmdline.
+
+Sysfs/debugfs files:
+------------
+
+Firmware-assisted dump feature uses sysfs file system to hold
+the control files and debugfs file to display memory reserved region.
+
+Here is the list of files under kernel sysfs:
+
+ /sys/kernel/fadump_enabled
+
+    This is used to display the fadump status.
+    0 = fadump is disabled
+    1 = fadump is enabled
+
+    This interface can be used by kdump init scripts to identify if
+    fadump is enabled in the kernel and act accordingly.
+
+ /sys/kernel/fadump_registered
+
+    This is used to display the fadump registration status as well
+    as to control (start/stop) the fadump registration.
+    0 = fadump is not registered.
+    1 = fadump is registered and ready to handle system crash.
+
+    To register fadump echo 1 > /sys/kernel/fadump_registered and
+    echo 0 > /sys/kernel/fadump_registered for un-register and stop the
+    fadump. Once the fadump is un-registered, the system crash will not
+    be handled and vmcore will not be captured. This interface can be
+    easily integrated with kdump service start/stop.
+
+ /sys/kernel/fadump_release_mem
+
+    This file is available only when fadump is active during
+    second kernel. This is used to release the reserved memory
+    region that are held for saving crash dump. To release the
+    reserved memory echo 1 to it:
+
+    echo 1  > /sys/kernel/fadump_release_mem
+
+    After echo 1, the content of the /sys/kernel/debug/powerpc/fadump_region
+    file will change to reflect the new memory reservations.
+
+    The existing userspace tools (kdump infrastructure) can be easily
+    enhanced to use this interface to release the memory reserved for
+    dump and continue without 2nd reboot.
+
+Here is the list of files under powerpc debugfs:
+(Assuming debugfs is mounted on /sys/kernel/debug directory.)
+
+ /sys/kernel/debug/powerpc/fadump_region
+
+    This file shows the reserved memory regions if fadump is
+    enabled otherwise this file is empty. The output format
+    is:
+    <region>: [<start>-<end>] <reserved-size> bytes, Dumped: <dump-size>
+
+    e.g.
+    Contents when fadump is registered during first kernel
+
+    # cat /sys/kernel/debug/powerpc/fadump_region
+    CPU : [0x0000006ffb0000-0x0000006fff001f] 0x40020 bytes, Dumped: 0x0
+    HPTE: [0x0000006fff0020-0x0000006fff101f] 0x1000 bytes, Dumped: 0x0
+    DUMP: [0x0000006fff1020-0x0000007fff101f] 0x10000000 bytes, Dumped: 0x0
+
+    Contents when fadump is active during second kernel
+
+    # cat /sys/kernel/debug/powerpc/fadump_region
+    CPU : [0x0000006ffb0000-0x0000006fff001f] 0x40020 bytes, Dumped: 0x40020
+    HPTE: [0x0000006fff0020-0x0000006fff101f] 0x1000 bytes, Dumped: 0x1000
+    DUMP: [0x0000006fff1020-0x0000007fff101f] 0x10000000 bytes, Dumped: 0x10000000
+        : [0x00000010000000-0x0000006ffaffff] 0x5ffb0000 bytes, Dumped: 0x5ffb0000
+
+NOTE: Please refer to Documentation/filesystems/debugfs.txt on
+      how to mount the debugfs filesystem.
+
+
+TODO:
+-----
+ o Need to come up with the better approach to find out more
+   accurate boot memory size that is required for a kernel to
+   boot successfully when booted with restricted memory.
+ o The fadump implementation introduces a fadump crash info structure
+   in the scratch area before the ELF core header. The idea of introducing
+   this structure is to pass some important crash info data to the second
+   kernel which will help second kernel to populate ELF core header with
+   correct data before it gets exported through /proc/vmcore. The current
+   design implementation does not address a possibility of introducing
+   additional fields (in future) to this structure without affecting
+   compatibility. Need to come up with the better approach to address this.
+   The possible approaches are:
+	1. Introduce version field for version tracking, bump up the version
+	whenever a new field is added to the structure in future. The version
+	field can be used to find out what fields are valid for the current
+	version of the structure.
+	2. Reserve the area of predefined size (say PAGE_SIZE) for this
+	structure and have unused area as reserved (initialized to zero)
+	for future field additions.
+   The advantage of approach 1 over 2 is we don't need to reserve extra space.

+---------------------------------------------------------------------------
+1. Driver Introduction:
+
+This is the device driver for the IBM Hypervisor Virtual Console Server,
+"hvcs".  The IBM hvcs provides a tty driver interface to allow Linux user
+space applications access to the system consoles of logically partitioned
+operating systems (Linux and AIX) running on the same partitioned Power5
+ppc64 system.  Physical hardware consoles per partition are not practical
+on this hardware so system consoles are accessed by this driver using
+firmware interfaces to virtual terminal devices.
+
+---------------------------------------------------------------------------
+2. System Requirements:
+
+This device driver was written using 2.6.4 Linux kernel APIs and will only
+build and run on kernels of this version or later.
+
+This driver was written to operate solely on IBM Power5 ppc64 hardware
+though some care was taken to abstract the architecture dependent firmware
+calls from the driver code.
+
+Sysfs must be mounted on the system so that the user can determine which
+major and minor numbers are associated with each vty-server.  Directions
+for sysfs mounting are outside the scope of this document.
+
+---------------------------------------------------------------------------
+3. Build Options:
+
+The hvcs driver registers itself as a tty driver.  The tty layer
+dynamically allocates a block of major and minor numbers in a quantity
+requested by the registering driver.  The hvcs driver asks the tty layer
+for 64 of these major/minor numbers by default to use for hvcs device node
+entries.
+
+If the default number of device entries is adequate then this driver can be
+built into the kernel.  If not, the default can be over-ridden by inserting
+the driver as a module with insmod parameters.
+
+---------------------------------------------------------------------------
+3.1 Built-in:
+
+The following menuconfig example demonstrates selecting to build this
+driver into the kernel.
+
+	Device Drivers  --->
+		Character devices  --->
+			<*> IBM Hypervisor Virtual Console Server Support
+
+Begin the kernel make process.
+
+---------------------------------------------------------------------------
+3.2 Module:
+
+The following menuconfig example demonstrates selecting to build this
+driver as a kernel module.
+
+	Device Drivers  --->
+		Character devices  --->
+			<M> IBM Hypervisor Virtual Console Server Support
+
+The make process will build the following kernel modules:
+
+	hvcs.ko
+	hvcserver.ko
+
+To insert the module with the default allocation execute the following
+commands in the order they appear:
+
+	insmod hvcserver.ko
+	insmod hvcs.ko
+
+The hvcserver module contains architecture specific firmware calls and must
+be inserted first, otherwise the hvcs module will not find some of the
+symbols it expects.
+
+To override the default use an insmod parameter as follows (requesting 4
+tty devices as an example):
+
+	insmod hvcs.ko hvcs_parm_num_devs=4
+
+There is a maximum number of dev entries that can be specified on insmod.
+We think that 1024 is currently a decent maximum number of server adapters
+to allow.  This can always be changed by modifying the constant in the
+source file before building.
+
+NOTE: The length of time it takes to insmod the driver seems to be related
+to the number of tty interfaces the registering driver requests.
+
+In order to remove the driver module execute the following command:
+
+	rmmod hvcs.ko
+
+The recommended method for installing hvcs as a module is to use depmod to
+build a current modules.dep file in /lib/modules/`uname -r` and then
+execute:
+
+modprobe hvcs hvcs_parm_num_devs=4
+
+The modules.dep file indicates that hvcserver.ko needs to be inserted
+before hvcs.ko and modprobe uses this file to smartly insert the modules in
+the proper order.
+
+The following modprobe command is used to remove hvcs and hvcserver in the
+proper order:
+
+modprobe -r hvcs
+
+---------------------------------------------------------------------------
+4. Installation:
+
+The tty layer creates sysfs entries which contain the major and minor
+numbers allocated for the hvcs driver.  The following snippet of "tree"
+output of the sysfs directory shows where these numbers are presented:
+
+	sys/
+	|-- *other sysfs base dirs*
+	|
+	|-- class
+	|   |-- *other classes of devices*
+	|   |
+	|   `-- tty
+	|       |-- *other tty devices*
+	|       |
+	|       |-- hvcs0
+	|       |   `-- dev
+	|       |-- hvcs1
+	|       |   `-- dev
+	|       |-- hvcs2
+	|       |   `-- dev
+	|       |-- hvcs3
+	|       |   `-- dev
+	|       |
+	|       |-- *other tty devices*
+	|
+	|-- *other sysfs base dirs*
+
+For the above examples the following output is a result of cat'ing the
+"dev" entry in the hvcs directory:
+
+	Pow5:/sys/class/tty/hvcs0/ # cat dev
+	254:0
+
+	Pow5:/sys/class/tty/hvcs1/ # cat dev
+	254:1
+
+	Pow5:/sys/class/tty/hvcs2/ # cat dev
+	254:2
+
+	Pow5:/sys/class/tty/hvcs3/ # cat dev
+	254:3
+
+The output from reading the "dev" attribute is the char device major and
+minor numbers that the tty layer has allocated for this driver's use.  Most
+systems running hvcs will already have the device entries created or udev
+will do it automatically.
+
+Given the example output above, to manually create a /dev/hvcs* node entry
+mknod can be used as follows:
+
+	mknod /dev/hvcs0 c 254 0
+	mknod /dev/hvcs1 c 254 1
+	mknod /dev/hvcs2 c 254 2
+	mknod /dev/hvcs3 c 254 3
+
+Using mknod to manually create the device entries makes these device nodes
+persistent.  Once created they will exist prior to the driver insmod.
+
+Attempting to connect an application to /dev/hvcs* prior to insertion of
+the hvcs module will result in an error message similar to the following:
+
+	"/dev/hvcs*: No such device".
+
+NOTE: Just because there is a device node present doesn't mean that there
+is a vty-server device configured for that node.
+
+---------------------------------------------------------------------------
+5. Connection
+
+Since this driver controls devices that provide a tty interface a user can
+interact with the device node entries using any standard tty-interactive
+method (e.g. "cat", "dd", "echo").  The intent of this driver however, is
+to provide real time console interaction with a Linux partition's console,
+which requires the use of applications that provide bi-directional,
+interactive I/O with a tty device.
+
+Applications (e.g. "minicom" and "screen") that act as terminal emulators
+or perform terminal type control sequence conversion on the data being
+passed through them are NOT acceptable for providing interactive console
+I/O.  These programs often emulate antiquated terminal types (vt100 and
+ANSI) and expect inbound data to take the form of one of these supported
+terminal types but they either do not convert, or do not _adequately_
+convert, outbound data into the terminal type of the terminal which invoked
+them (though screen makes an attempt and can apparently be configured with
+much termcap wrestling.)
+
+For this reason kermit and cu are two of the recommended applications for
+interacting with a Linux console via an hvcs device.  These programs simply
+act as a conduit for data transfer to and from the tty device.  They do not
+require inbound data to take the form of a particular terminal type, nor do
+they cook outbound data to a particular terminal type.
+
+In order to ensure proper functioning of console applications one must make
+sure that once connected to a /dev/hvcs console that the console's $TERM
+env variable is set to the exact terminal type of the terminal emulator
+used to launch the interactive I/O application.  If one is using xterm and
+kermit to connect to /dev/hvcs0 when the console prompt becomes available
+one should "export TERM=xterm" on the console.  This tells ncurses
+applications that are invoked from the console that they should output
+control sequences that xterm can understand.
+
+As a precautionary measure an hvcs user should always "exit" from their
+session before disconnecting an application such as kermit from the device
+node.  If this is not done, the next user to connect to the console will
+continue using the previous user's logged in session which includes
+using the $TERM variable that the previous user supplied.
+
+Hotplug add and remove of vty-server adapters affects which /dev/hvcs* node
+is used to connect to each vty-server adapter.  In order to determine which
+vty-server adapter is associated with which /dev/hvcs* node a special sysfs
+attribute has been added to each vty-server sysfs entry.  This entry is
+called "index" and showing it reveals an integer that refers to the
+/dev/hvcs* entry to use to connect to that device.  For instance cating the
+index attribute of vty-server adapter 30000004 shows the following.
+
+	Pow5:/sys/bus/vio/drivers/hvcs/30000004 # cat index
+	2
+
+This index of '2' means that in order to connect to vty-server adapter
+30000004 the user should interact with /dev/hvcs2.
+
+It should be noted that due to the system hotplug I/O capabilities of a
+system the /dev/hvcs* entry that interacts with a particular vty-server
+adapter is not guaranteed to remain the same across system reboots.  Look
+in the Q & A section for more on this issue.
+
+---------------------------------------------------------------------------
+6. Disconnection
+
+As a security feature to prevent the delivery of stale data to an
+unintended target the Power5 system firmware disables the fetching of data
+and discards that data when a connection between a vty-server and a vty has
+been severed.  As an example, when a vty-server is immediately disconnected
+from a vty following output of data to the vty the vty adapter may not have
+enough time between when it received the data interrupt and when the
+connection was severed to fetch the data from firmware before the fetch is
+disabled by firmware.
+
+When hvcs is being used to serve consoles this behavior is not a huge issue
+because the adapter stays connected for large amounts of time following
+almost all data writes.  When hvcs is being used as a tty conduit to tunnel
+data between two partitions [see Q & A below] this is a huge problem
+because the standard Linux behavior when cat'ing or dd'ing data to a device
+is to open the tty, send the data, and then close the tty.  If this driver
+manually terminated vty-server connections on tty close this would close
+the vty-server and vty connection before the target vty has had a chance to
+fetch the data.
+
+Additionally, disconnecting a vty-server and vty only on module removal or
+adapter removal is impractical because other vty-servers in other
+partitions may require the usage of the target vty at any time.
+
+Due to this behavioral restriction disconnection of vty-servers from the
+connected vty is a manual procedure using a write to a sysfs attribute
+outlined below, on the other hand the initial vty-server connection to a
+vty is established automatically by this driver.  Manual vty-server
+connection is never required.
+
+In order to terminate the connection between a vty-server and vty the
+"vterm_state" sysfs attribute within each vty-server's sysfs entry is used.
+Reading this attribute reveals the current connection state of the
+vty-server adapter.  A zero means that the vty-server is not connected to a
+vty.  A one indicates that a connection is active.
+
+Writing a '0' (zero) to the vterm_state attribute will disconnect the VTERM
+connection between the vty-server and target vty ONLY if the vterm_state
+previously read '1'.  The write directive is ignored if the vterm_state
+read '0' or if any value other than '0' was written to the vterm_state
+attribute.  The following example will show the method used for verifying
+the vty-server connection status and disconnecting a vty-server connection.
+
+	Pow5:/sys/bus/vio/drivers/hvcs/30000004 # cat vterm_state
+	1
+
+	Pow5:/sys/bus/vio/drivers/hvcs/30000004 # echo 0 > vterm_state
+
+	Pow5:/sys/bus/vio/drivers/hvcs/30000004 # cat vterm_state
+	0
+
+All vty-server connections are automatically terminated when the device is
+hotplug removed and when the module is removed.
+
+---------------------------------------------------------------------------
+7. Configuration
+
+Each vty-server has a sysfs entry in the /sys/devices/vio directory, which
+is symlinked in several other sysfs tree directories, notably under the
+hvcs driver entry, which looks like the following example:
+
+	Pow5:/sys/bus/vio/drivers/hvcs # ls
+	.  ..  30000003  30000004  rescan
+
+By design, firmware notifies the hvcs driver of vty-server lifetimes and
+partner vty removals but not the addition of partner vtys.  Since an HMC
+Super Admin can add partner info dynamically we have provided the hvcs
+driver sysfs directory with the "rescan" update attribute which will query
+firmware and update the partner info for all the vty-servers that this
+driver manages.  Writing a '1' to the attribute triggers the update.  An
+explicit example follows:
+
+	Pow5:/sys/bus/vio/drivers/hvcs # echo 1 > rescan
+
+Reading the attribute will indicate a state of '1' or '0'.  A one indicates
+that an update is in process.  A zero indicates that an update has
+completed or was never executed.
+
+Vty-server entries in this directory are a 32 bit partition unique unit
+address that is created by firmware.  An example vty-server sysfs entry
+looks like the following:
+
+	Pow5:/sys/bus/vio/drivers/hvcs/30000004 # ls
+	.   current_vty   devspec       name          partner_vtys
+	..  index         partner_clcs  vterm_state
+
+Each entry is provided, by default with a "name" attribute.  Reading the
+"name" attribute will reveal the device type as shown in the following
+example:
+
+	Pow5:/sys/bus/vio/drivers/hvcs/30000003 # cat name
+	vty-server
+
+Each entry is also provided, by default, with a "devspec" attribute which
+reveals the full device specification when read, as shown in the following
+example:
+
+	Pow5:/sys/bus/vio/drivers/hvcs/30000004 # cat devspec
+	/vdevice/vty-server@30000004
+
+Each vty-server sysfs dir is provided with two read-only attributes that
+provide lists of easily parsed partner vty data: "partner_vtys" and
+"partner_clcs".
+
+	Pow5:/sys/bus/vio/drivers/hvcs/30000004 # cat partner_vtys
+	30000000
+	30000001
+	30000002
+	30000000
+	30000000
+
+	Pow5:/sys/bus/vio/drivers/hvcs/30000004 # cat partner_clcs
+	U5112.428.103048A-V3-C0
+	U5112.428.103048A-V3-C2
+	U5112.428.103048A-V3-C3
+	U5112.428.103048A-V4-C0
+	U5112.428.103048A-V5-C0
+
+Reading partner_vtys returns a list of partner vtys.  Vty unit address
+numbering is only per-partition-unique so entries will frequently repeat.
+
+Reading partner_clcs returns a list of "converged location codes" which are
+composed of a system serial number followed by "-V*", where the '*' is the
+target partition number, and "-C*", where the '*' is the slot of the
+adapter.  The first vty partner corresponds to the first clc item, the
+second vty partner to the second clc item, etc.
+
+A vty-server can only be connected to a single vty at a time.  The entry,
+"current_vty" prints the clc of the currently selected partner vty when
+read.
+
+The current_vty can be changed by writing a valid partner clc to the entry
+as in the following example:
+
+	Pow5:/sys/bus/vio/drivers/hvcs/30000004 # echo U5112.428.10304
+	8A-V4-C0 > current_vty
+
+Changing the current_vty when a vty-server is already connected to a vty
+does not affect the current connection.  The change takes effect when the
+currently open connection is freed.
+
+Information on the "vterm_state" attribute was covered earlier on the
+chapter entitled "disconnection".
+
+---------------------------------------------------------------------------
+8. Questions & Answers:
+===========================================================================
+Q: What are the security concerns involving hvcs?
+
+A: There are three main security concerns:
+
+	1. The creator of the /dev/hvcs* nodes has the ability to restrict
+	the access of the device entries to certain users or groups.  It
+	may be best to create a special hvcs group privilege for providing
+	access to system consoles.
+
+	2. To provide network security when grabbing the console it is
+	suggested that the user connect to the console hosting partition
+	using a secure method, such as SSH or sit at a hardware console.
+
+	3. Make sure to exit the user session when done with a console or
+	the next vty-server connection (which may be from another
+	partition) will experience the previously logged in session.
+
+---------------------------------------------------------------------------
+Q: How do I multiplex a console that I grab through hvcs so that other
+people can see it:
+
+A: You can use "screen" to directly connect to the /dev/hvcs* device and
+setup a session on your machine with the console group privileges.  As
+pointed out earlier by default screen doesn't provide the termcap settings
+for most terminal emulators to provide adequate character conversion from
+term type "screen" to others.  This means that curses based programs may
+not display properly in screen sessions.
+
+---------------------------------------------------------------------------
+Q: Why are the colors all messed up?
+Q: Why are the control characters acting strange or not working?
+Q: Why is the console output all strange and unintelligible?
+
+A: Please see the preceding section on "Connection" for a discussion of how
+applications can affect the display of character control sequences.
+Additionally, just because you logged into the console using and xterm
+doesn't mean someone else didn't log into the console with the HMC console
+(vt320) before you and leave the session logged in.  The best thing to do
+is to export TERM to the terminal type of your terminal emulator when you
+get the console.  Additionally make sure to "exit" the console before you
+disconnect from the console.  This will ensure that the next user gets
+their own TERM type set when they login.
+
+---------------------------------------------------------------------------
+Q: When I try to CONNECT kermit to an hvcs device I get:
+"Sorry, can't open connection: /dev/hvcs*"What is happening?
+
+A: Some other Power5 console mechanism has a connection to the vty and
+isn't giving it up.  You can try to force disconnect the consoles from the
+HMC by right clicking on the partition and then selecting "close terminal".
+Otherwise you have to hunt down the people who have console authority.  It
+is possible that you already have the console open using another kermit
+session and just forgot about it.  Please review the console options for
+Power5 systems to determine the many ways a system console can be held.
+
+OR
+
+A: Another user may not have a connectivity method currently attached to a
+/dev/hvcs device but the vterm_state may reveal that they still have the
+vty-server connection established.  They need to free this using the method
+outlined in the section on "Disconnection" in order for others to connect
+to the target vty.
+
+OR
+
+A: The user profile you are using to execute kermit probably doesn't have
+permissions to use the /dev/hvcs* device.
+
+OR
+
+A: You probably haven't inserted the hvcs.ko module yet but the /dev/hvcs*
+entry still exists (on systems without udev).
+
+OR
+
+A: There is not a corresponding vty-server device that maps to an existing
+/dev/hvcs* entry.
+
+---------------------------------------------------------------------------
+Q: When I try to CONNECT kermit to an hvcs device I get:
+"Sorry, write access to UUCP lockfile directory denied."
+
+A: The /dev/hvcs* entry you have specified doesn't exist where you said it
+does?  Maybe you haven't inserted the module (on systems with udev).
+
+---------------------------------------------------------------------------
+Q: If I already have one Linux partition installed can I use hvcs on said
+partition to provide the console for the install of a second Linux
+partition?
+
+A: Yes granted that your are connected to the /dev/hvcs* device using
+kermit or cu or some other program that doesn't provide terminal emulation.
+
+---------------------------------------------------------------------------
+Q: Can I connect to more than one partition's console at a time using this
+driver?
+
+A: Yes.  Of course this means that there must be more than one vty-server
+configured for this partition and each must point to a disconnected vty.
+
+---------------------------------------------------------------------------
+Q: Does the hvcs driver support dynamic (hotplug) addition of devices?
+
+A: Yes, if you have dlpar and hotplug enabled for your system and it has
+been built into the kernel the hvcs drivers is configured to dynamically
+handle additions of new devices and removals of unused devices.
+
+---------------------------------------------------------------------------
+Q: For some reason /dev/hvcs* doesn't map to the same vty-server adapter
+after a reboot.  What happened?
+
+A: Assignment of vty-server adapters to /dev/hvcs* entries is always done
+in the order that the adapters are exposed.  Due to hotplug capabilities of
+this driver assignment of hotplug added vty-servers may be in a different
+order than how they would be exposed on module load.  Rebooting or
+reloading the module after dynamic addition may result in the /dev/hvcs*
+and vty-server coupling changing if a vty-server adapter was added in a
+slot between two other vty-server adapters.  Refer to the section above
+on how to determine which vty-server goes with which /dev/hvcs* node.
+Hint; look at the sysfs "index" attribute for the vty-server.
+
+---------------------------------------------------------------------------
+Q: Can I use /dev/hvcs* as a conduit to another partition and use a tty
+device on that partition as the other end of the pipe?
+
+A: Yes, on Power5 platforms the hvc_console driver provides a tty interface
+for extra /dev/hvc* devices (where /dev/hvc0 is most likely the console).
+In order to get a tty conduit working between the two partitions the HMC
+Super Admin must create an additional "serial server" for the target
+partition with the HMC gui which will show up as /dev/hvc* when the target
+partition is rebooted.
+
+The HMC Super Admin then creates an additional "serial client" for the
+current partition and points this at the target partition's newly created
+"serial server" adapter (remember the slot).  This shows up as an
+additional /dev/hvcs* device.
+
+Now a program on the target system can be configured to read or write to
+/dev/hvc* and another program on the current partition can be configured to
+read or write to /dev/hvcs*.  Now you have a tty conduit between two
+partitions.

+
+This document describes the requirement from hardware for PCI MMIO resource
+sizing and assignment on PowerKVM and how generic PCI code handles this
+requirement. The first two sections describe the concepts of Partitionable
+Endpoints and the implementation on P8 (IODA2). The next two sections talks
+about considerations on enabling SRIOV on IODA2.
+
+1. Introduction to Partitionable Endpoints
+
+A Partitionable Endpoint (PE) is a way to group the various resources
+associated with a device or a set of devices to provide isolation between
+partitions (i.e., filtering of DMA, MSIs etc.) and to provide a mechanism
+to freeze a device that is causing errors in order to limit the possibility
+of propagation of bad data.
+
+There is thus, in HW, a table of PE states that contains a pair of "frozen"
+state bits (one for MMIO and one for DMA, they get set together but can be
+cleared independently) for each PE.
+
+When a PE is frozen, all stores in any direction are dropped and all loads
+return all 1's value. MSIs are also blocked. There's a bit more state that
+captures things like the details of the error that caused the freeze etc., but
+that's not critical.
+
+The interesting part is how the various PCIe transactions (MMIO, DMA, ...)
+are matched to their corresponding PEs.
+
+The following section provides a rough description of what we have on P8
+(IODA2).  Keep in mind that this is all per PHB (PCI host bridge).  Each PHB
+is a completely separate HW entity that replicates the entire logic, so has
+its own set of PEs, etc.
+
+2. Implementation of Partitionable Endpoints on P8 (IODA2)
+
+P8 supports up to 256 Partitionable Endpoints per PHB.
+
+  * Inbound
+
+    For DMA, MSIs and inbound PCIe error messages, we have a table (in
+    memory but accessed in HW by the chip) that provides a direct
+    correspondence between a PCIe RID (bus/dev/fn) with a PE number.
+    We call this the RTT.
+
+    - For DMA we then provide an entire address space for each PE that can
+      contain two "windows", depending on the value of PCI address bit 59.
+      Each window can be configured to be remapped via a "TCE table" (IOMMU
+      translation table), which has various configurable characteristics
+      not described here.
+
+    - For MSIs, we have two windows in the address space (one at the top of
+      the 32-bit space and one much higher) which, via a combination of the
+      address and MSI value, will result in one of the 2048 interrupts per
+      bridge being triggered.  There's a PE# in the interrupt controller
+      descriptor table as well which is compared with the PE# obtained from
+      the RTT to "authorize" the device to emit that specific interrupt.
+
+    - Error messages just use the RTT.
+
+  * Outbound.  That's where the tricky part is.
+
+    Like other PCI host bridges, the Power8 IODA2 PHB supports "windows"
+    from the CPU address space to the PCI address space.  There is one M32
+    window and sixteen M64 windows.  They have different characteristics.
+    First what they have in common: they forward a configurable portion of
+    the CPU address space to the PCIe bus and must be naturally aligned
+    power of two in size.  The rest is different:
+
+    - The M32 window:
+
+      * Is limited to 4GB in size.
+
+      * Drops the top bits of the address (above the size) and replaces
+	them with a configurable value.  This is typically used to generate
+	32-bit PCIe accesses.  We configure that window at boot from FW and
+	don't touch it from Linux; it's usually set to forward a 2GB
+	portion of address space from the CPU to PCIe
+	0x8000_0000..0xffff_ffff.  (Note: The top 64KB are actually
+	reserved for MSIs but this is not a problem at this point; we just
+	need to ensure Linux doesn't assign anything there, the M32 logic
+	ignores that however and will forward in that space if we try).
+
+      * It is divided into 256 segments of equal size.  A table in the chip
+	maps each segment to a PE#.  That allows portions of the MMIO space
+	to be assigned to PEs on a segment granularity.  For a 2GB window,
+	the segment granularity is 2GB/256 = 8MB.
+
+    Now, this is the "main" window we use in Linux today (excluding
+    SR-IOV).  We basically use the trick of forcing the bridge MMIO windows
+    onto a segment alignment/granularity so that the space behind a bridge
+    can be assigned to a PE.
+
+    Ideally we would like to be able to have individual functions in PEs
+    but that would mean using a completely different address allocation
+    scheme where individual function BARs can be "grouped" to fit in one or
+    more segments.
+
+    - The M64 windows:
+
+      * Must be at least 256MB in size.
+
+      * Do not translate addresses (the address on PCIe is the same as the
+	address on the PowerBus).  There is a way to also set the top 14
+	bits which are not conveyed by PowerBus but we don't use this.
+
+      * Can be configured to be segmented.  When not segmented, we can
+	specify the PE# for the entire window.  When segmented, a window
+	has 256 segments; however, there is no table for mapping a segment
+	to a PE#.  The segment number *is* the PE#.
+
+      * Support overlaps.  If an address is covered by multiple windows,
+	there's a defined ordering for which window applies.
+
+    We have code (fairly new compared to the M32 stuff) that exploits that
+    for large BARs in 64-bit space:
+
+    We configure an M64 window to cover the entire region of address space
+    that has been assigned by FW for the PHB (about 64GB, ignore the space
+    for the M32, it comes out of a different "reserve").  We configure it
+    as segmented.
+
+    Then we do the same thing as with M32, using the bridge alignment
+    trick, to match to those giant segments.
+
+    Since we cannot remap, we have two additional constraints:
+
+    - We do the PE# allocation *after* the 64-bit space has been assigned
+      because the addresses we use directly determine the PE#.  We then
+      update the M32 PE# for the devices that use both 32-bit and 64-bit
+      spaces or assign the remaining PE# to 32-bit only devices.
+
+    - We cannot "group" segments in HW, so if a device ends up using more
+      than one segment, we end up with more than one PE#.  There is a HW
+      mechanism to make the freeze state cascade to "companion" PEs but
+      that only works for PCIe error messages (typically used so that if
+      you freeze a switch, it freezes all its children).  So we do it in
+      SW.  We lose a bit of effectiveness of EEH in that case, but that's
+      the best we found.  So when any of the PEs freezes, we freeze the
+      other ones for that "domain".  We thus introduce the concept of
+      "master PE" which is the one used for DMA, MSIs, etc., and "secondary
+      PEs" that are used for the remaining M64 segments.
+
+    We would like to investigate using additional M64 windows in "single
+    PE" mode to overlay over specific BARs to work around some of that, for
+    example for devices with very large BARs, e.g., GPUs.  It would make
+    sense, but we haven't done it yet.
+
+3. Considerations for SR-IOV on PowerKVM
+
+  * SR-IOV Background
+
+    The PCIe SR-IOV feature allows a single Physical Function (PF) to
+    support several Virtual Functions (VFs).  Registers in the PF's SR-IOV
+    Capability control the number of VFs and whether they are enabled.
+
+    When VFs are enabled, they appear in Configuration Space like normal
+    PCI devices, but the BARs in VF config space headers are unusual.  For
+    a non-VF device, software uses BARs in the config space header to
+    discover the BAR sizes and assign addresses for them.  For VF devices,
+    software uses VF BAR registers in the *PF* SR-IOV Capability to
+    discover sizes and assign addresses.  The BARs in the VF's config space
+    header are read-only zeros.
+
+    When a VF BAR in the PF SR-IOV Capability is programmed, it sets the
+    base address for all the corresponding VF(n) BARs.  For example, if the
+    PF SR-IOV Capability is programmed to enable eight VFs, and it has a
+    1MB VF BAR0, the address in that VF BAR sets the base of an 8MB region.
+    This region is divided into eight contiguous 1MB regions, each of which
+    is a BAR0 for one of the VFs.  Note that even though the VF BAR
+    describes an 8MB region, the alignment requirement is for a single VF,
+    i.e., 1MB in this example.
+
+  There are several strategies for isolating VFs in PEs:
+
+  - M32 window: There's one M32 window, and it is split into 256
+    equally-sized segments.  The finest granularity possible is a 256MB
+    window with 1MB segments.  VF BARs that are 1MB or larger could be
+    mapped to separate PEs in this window.  Each segment can be
+    individually mapped to a PE via the lookup table, so this is quite
+    flexible, but it works best when all the VF BARs are the same size.  If
+    they are different sizes, the entire window has to be small enough that
+    the segment size matches the smallest VF BAR, which means larger VF
+    BARs span several segments.
+
+  - Non-segmented M64 window: A non-segmented M64 window is mapped entirely
+    to a single PE, so it could only isolate one VF.
+
+  - Single segmented M64 windows: A segmented M64 window could be used just
+    like the M32 window, but the segments can't be individually mapped to
+    PEs (the segment number is the PE#), so there isn't as much
+    flexibility.  A VF with multiple BARs would have to be in a "domain" of
+    multiple PEs, which is not as well isolated as a single PE.
+
+  - Multiple segmented M64 windows: As usual, each window is split into 256
+    equally-sized segments, and the segment number is the PE#.  But if we
+    use several M64 windows, they can be set to different base addresses
+    and different segment sizes.  If we have VFs that each have a 1MB BAR
+    and a 32MB BAR, we could use one M64 window to assign 1MB segments and
+    another M64 window to assign 32MB segments.
+
+  Finally, the plan to use M64 windows for SR-IOV, which will be described
+  more in the next two sections.  For a given VF BAR, we need to
+  effectively reserve the entire 256 segments (256 * VF BAR size) and
+  position the VF BAR to start at the beginning of a free range of
+  segments/PEs inside that M64 window.
+
+  The goal is of course to be able to give a separate PE for each VF.
+
+  The IODA2 platform has 16 M64 windows, which are used to map MMIO
+  range to PE#.  Each M64 window defines one MMIO range and this range is
+  divided into 256 segments, with each segment corresponding to one PE.
+
+  We decide to leverage this M64 window to map VFs to individual PEs, since
+  SR-IOV VF BARs are all the same size.
+
+  But doing so introduces another problem: total_VFs is usually smaller
+  than the number of M64 window segments, so if we map one VF BAR directly
+  to one M64 window, some part of the M64 window will map to another
+  device's MMIO range.
+
+  IODA supports 256 PEs, so segmented windows contain 256 segments, so if
+  total_VFs is less than 256, we have the situation in Figure 1.0, where
+  segments [total_VFs, 255] of the M64 window may map to some MMIO range on
+  other devices:
+
+     0      1                     total_VFs - 1
+     +------+------+-     -+------+------+
+     |      |      |  ...  |      |      |
+     +------+------+-     -+------+------+
+
+                           VF(n) BAR space
+
+     0      1                     total_VFs - 1                255
+     +------+------+-     -+------+------+-      -+------+------+
+     |      |      |  ...  |      |      |   ...  |      |      |
+     +------+------+-     -+------+------+-      -+------+------+
+
+                           M64 window
+
+		Figure 1.0 Direct map VF(n) BAR space
+
+  Our current solution is to allocate 256 segments even if the VF(n) BAR
+  space doesn't need that much, as shown in Figure 1.1:
+
+     0      1                     total_VFs - 1                255
+     +------+------+-     -+------+------+-      -+------+------+
+     |      |      |  ...  |      |      |   ...  |      |      |
+     +------+------+-     -+------+------+-      -+------+------+
+
+                           VF(n) BAR space + extra
+
+     0      1                     total_VFs - 1                255
+     +------+------+-     -+------+------+-      -+------+------+
+     |      |      |  ...  |      |      |   ...  |      |      |
+     +------+------+-     -+------+------+-      -+------+------+
+
+			   M64 window
+
+		Figure 1.1 Map VF(n) BAR space + extra
+
+  Allocating the extra space ensures that the entire M64 window will be
+  assigned to this one SR-IOV device and none of the space will be
+  available for other devices.  Note that this only expands the space
+  reserved in software; there are still only total_VFs VFs, and they only
+  respond to segments [0, total_VFs - 1].  There's nothing in hardware that
+  responds to segments [total_VFs, 255].
+
+4. Implications for the Generic PCI Code
+
+The PCIe SR-IOV spec requires that the base of the VF(n) BAR space be
+aligned to the size of an individual VF BAR.
+
+In IODA2, the MMIO address determines the PE#.  If the address is in an M32
+window, we can set the PE# by updating the table that translates segments
+to PE#s.  Similarly, if the address is in an unsegmented M64 window, we can
+set the PE# for the window.  But if it's in a segmented M64 window, the
+segment number is the PE#.
+
+Therefore, the only way to control the PE# for a VF is to change the base
+of the VF(n) BAR space in the VF BAR.  If the PCI core allocates the exact
+amount of space required for the VF(n) BAR space, the VF BAR value is fixed
+and cannot be changed.
+
+On the other hand, if the PCI core allocates additional space, the VF BAR
+value can be changed as long as the entire VF(n) BAR space remains inside
+the space allocated by the core.
+
+Ideally the segment size will be the same as an individual VF BAR size.
+Then each VF will be in its own PE.  The VF BARs (and therefore the PE#s)
+are contiguous.  If VF0 is in PE(x), then VF(n) is in PE(x+n).  If we
+allocate 256 segments, there are (256 - numVFs) choices for the PE# of VF0.
+
+If the segment size is smaller than the VF BAR size, it will take several
+segments to cover a VF BAR, and a VF will be in several PEs.  This is
+possible, but the isolation isn't as good, and it reduces the number of PE#
+choices because instead of consuming only numVFs segments, the VF(n) BAR
+space will consume (numVFs * n) segments.  That means there aren't as many
+available segments for adjusting base of the VF(n) BAR space.

+PMU Event Based Branches
+========================
+
+Event Based Branches (EBBs) are a feature which allows the hardware to
+branch directly to a specified user space address when certain events occur.
+
+The full specification is available in Power ISA v2.07:
+
+  https://www.power.org/documentation/power-isa-version-2-07/
+
+One type of event for which EBBs can be configured is PMU exceptions. This
+document describes the API for configuring the Power PMU to generate EBBs,
+using the Linux perf_events API.
+
+
+Terminology
+-----------
+
+Throughout this document we will refer to an "EBB event" or "EBB events". This
+just refers to a struct perf_event which has set the "EBB" flag in its
+attr.config. All events which can be configured on the hardware PMU are
+possible "EBB events".
+
+
+Background
+----------
+
+When a PMU EBB occurs it is delivered to the currently running process. As such
+EBBs can only sensibly be used by programs for self-monitoring.
+
+It is a feature of the perf_events API that events can be created on other
+processes, subject to standard permission checks. This is also true of EBB
+events, however unless the target process enables EBBs (via mtspr(BESCR)) no
+EBBs will ever be delivered.
+
+This makes it possible for a process to enable EBBs for itself, but not
+actually configure any events. At a later time another process can come along
+and attach an EBB event to the process, which will then cause EBBs to be
+delivered to the first process. It's not clear if this is actually useful.
+
+
+When the PMU is configured for EBBs, all PMU interrupts are delivered to the
+user process. This means once an EBB event is scheduled on the PMU, no non-EBB
+events can be configured. This means that EBB events can not be run
+concurrently with regular 'perf' commands, or any other perf events.
+
+It is however safe to run 'perf' commands on a process which is using EBBs. The
+kernel will in general schedule the EBB event, and perf will be notified that
+its events could not run.
+
+The exclusion between EBB events and regular events is implemented using the
+existing "pinned" and "exclusive" attributes of perf_events. This means EBB
+events will be given priority over other events, unless they are also pinned.
+If an EBB event and a regular event are both pinned, then whichever is enabled
+first will be scheduled and the other will be put in error state. See the
+section below titled "Enabling an EBB event" for more information.
+
+
+Creating an EBB event
+---------------------
+
+To request that an event is counted using EBB, the event code should have bit
+63 set.
+
+EBB events must be created with a particular, and restrictive, set of
+attributes - this is so that they interoperate correctly with the rest of the
+perf_events subsystem.
+
+An EBB event must be created with the "pinned" and "exclusive" attributes set.
+Note that if you are creating a group of EBB events, only the leader can have
+these attributes set.
+
+An EBB event must NOT set any of the "inherit", "sample_period", "freq" or
+"enable_on_exec" attributes.
+
+An EBB event must be attached to a task. This is specified to perf_event_open()
+by passing a pid value, typically 0 indicating the current task.
+
+All events in a group must agree on whether they want EBB. That is all events
+must request EBB, or none may request EBB.
+
+EBB events must specify the PMC they are to be counted on. This ensures
+userspace is able to reliably determine which PMC the event is scheduled on.
+
+
+Enabling an EBB event
+---------------------
+
+Once an EBB event has been successfully opened, it must be enabled with the
+perf_events API. This can be achieved either via the ioctl() interface, or the
+prctl() interface.
+
+However, due to the design of the perf_events API, enabling an event does not
+guarantee that it has been scheduled on the PMU. To ensure that the EBB event
+has been scheduled on the PMU, you must perform a read() on the event. If the
+read() returns EOF, then the event has not been scheduled and EBBs are not
+enabled.
+
+This behaviour occurs because the EBB event is pinned and exclusive. When the
+EBB event is enabled it will force all other non-pinned events off the PMU. In
+this case the enable will be successful. However if there is already an event
+pinned on the PMU then the enable will not be successful.
+
+
+Reading an EBB event
+--------------------
+
+It is possible to read() from an EBB event. However the results are
+meaningless. Because interrupts are being delivered to the user process the
+kernel is not able to count the event, and so will return a junk value.
+
+
+Closing an EBB event
+--------------------
+
+When an EBB event is finished with, you can close it using close() as for any
+regular event. If this is the last EBB event the PMU will be deconfigured and
+no further PMU EBBs will be delivered.
+
+
+EBB Handler
+-----------
+
+The EBB handler is just regular userspace code, however it must be written in
+the style of an interrupt handler. When the handler is entered all registers
+are live (possibly) and so must be saved somehow before the handler can invoke
+other code.
+
+It's up to the program how to handle this. For C programs a relatively simple
+option is to create an interrupt frame on the stack and save registers there.
+
+Fork
+----
+
+EBB events are not inherited across fork. If the child process wishes to use
+EBBs it should open a new event for itself. Similarly the EBB state in
+BESCR/EBBHR/EBBRR is cleared across fork().

+GDB intends to support the following hardware debug features of BookE
+processors:
+
+4 hardware breakpoints (IAC)
+2 hardware watchpoints (read, write and read-write) (DAC)
+2 value conditions for the hardware watchpoints (DVC)
+
+For that, we need to extend ptrace so that GDB can query and set these
+resources. Since we're extending, we're trying to create an interface
+that's extendable and that covers both BookE and server processors, so
+that GDB doesn't need to special-case each of them. We added the
+following 3 new ptrace requests.
+
+1. PTRACE_PPC_GETHWDEBUGINFO
+
+Query for GDB to discover the hardware debug features. The main info to
+be returned here is the minimum alignment for the hardware watchpoints.
+BookE processors don't have restrictions here, but server processors have
+an 8-byte alignment restriction for hardware watchpoints. We'd like to avoid
+adding special cases to GDB based on what it sees in AUXV.
+
+Since we're at it, we added other useful info that the kernel can return to
+GDB: this query will return the number of hardware breakpoints, hardware
+watchpoints and whether it supports a range of addresses and a condition.
+The query will fill the following structure provided by the requesting process:
+
+struct ppc_debug_info {
+       unit32_t version;
+       unit32_t num_instruction_bps;
+       unit32_t num_data_bps;
+       unit32_t num_condition_regs;
+       unit32_t data_bp_alignment;
+       unit32_t sizeof_condition; /* size of the DVC register */
+       uint64_t features; /* bitmask of the individual flags */
+};
+
+features will have bits indicating whether there is support for:
+
+#define PPC_DEBUG_FEATURE_INSN_BP_RANGE		0x1
+#define PPC_DEBUG_FEATURE_INSN_BP_MASK		0x2
+#define PPC_DEBUG_FEATURE_DATA_BP_RANGE		0x4
+#define PPC_DEBUG_FEATURE_DATA_BP_MASK		0x8
+#define PPC_DEBUG_FEATURE_DATA_BP_DAWR		0x10
+
+2. PTRACE_SETHWDEBUG
+
+Sets a hardware breakpoint or watchpoint, according to the provided structure:
+
+struct ppc_hw_breakpoint {
+        uint32_t version;
+#define PPC_BREAKPOINT_TRIGGER_EXECUTE  0x1
+#define PPC_BREAKPOINT_TRIGGER_READ     0x2
+#define PPC_BREAKPOINT_TRIGGER_WRITE    0x4
+        uint32_t trigger_type;       /* only some combinations allowed */
+#define PPC_BREAKPOINT_MODE_EXACT               0x0
+#define PPC_BREAKPOINT_MODE_RANGE_INCLUSIVE     0x1
+#define PPC_BREAKPOINT_MODE_RANGE_EXCLUSIVE     0x2
+#define PPC_BREAKPOINT_MODE_MASK                0x3
+        uint32_t addr_mode;          /* address match mode */
+
+#define PPC_BREAKPOINT_CONDITION_MODE   0x3
+#define PPC_BREAKPOINT_CONDITION_NONE   0x0
+#define PPC_BREAKPOINT_CONDITION_AND    0x1
+#define PPC_BREAKPOINT_CONDITION_EXACT  0x1	/* different name for the same thing as above */
+#define PPC_BREAKPOINT_CONDITION_OR     0x2
+#define PPC_BREAKPOINT_CONDITION_AND_OR 0x3
+#define PPC_BREAKPOINT_CONDITION_BE_ALL 0x00ff0000	/* byte enable bits */
+#define PPC_BREAKPOINT_CONDITION_BE(n)  (1<<((n)+16))
+        uint32_t condition_mode;     /* break/watchpoint condition flags */
+
+        uint64_t addr;
+        uint64_t addr2;
+        uint64_t condition_value;
+};
+
+A request specifies one event, not necessarily just one register to be set.
+For instance, if the request is for a watchpoint with a condition, both the
+DAC and DVC registers will be set in the same request.
+
+With this GDB can ask for all kinds of hardware breakpoints and watchpoints
+that the BookE supports. COMEFROM breakpoints available in server processors
+are not contemplated, but that is out of the scope of this work.
+
+ptrace will return an integer (handle) uniquely identifying the breakpoint or
+watchpoint just created. This integer will be used in the PTRACE_DELHWDEBUG
+request to ask for its removal. Return -ENOSPC if the requested breakpoint
+can't be allocated on the registers.
+
+Some examples of using the structure to:
+
+- set a breakpoint in the first breakpoint register
+
+  p.version         = PPC_DEBUG_CURRENT_VERSION;
+  p.trigger_type    = PPC_BREAKPOINT_TRIGGER_EXECUTE;
+  p.addr_mode       = PPC_BREAKPOINT_MODE_EXACT;
+  p.condition_mode  = PPC_BREAKPOINT_CONDITION_NONE;
+  p.addr            = (uint64_t) address;
+  p.addr2           = 0;
+  p.condition_value = 0;
+
+- set a watchpoint which triggers on reads in the second watchpoint register
+
+  p.version         = PPC_DEBUG_CURRENT_VERSION;
+  p.trigger_type    = PPC_BREAKPOINT_TRIGGER_READ;
+  p.addr_mode       = PPC_BREAKPOINT_MODE_EXACT;
+  p.condition_mode  = PPC_BREAKPOINT_CONDITION_NONE;
+  p.addr            = (uint64_t) address;
+  p.addr2           = 0;
+  p.condition_value = 0;
+
+- set a watchpoint which triggers only with a specific value
+
+  p.version         = PPC_DEBUG_CURRENT_VERSION;

+  p.condition_value = (uint64_t) condition;
+
+- set a ranged hardware breakpoint
+
+  p.version         = PPC_DEBUG_CURRENT_VERSION;
+  p.trigger_type    = PPC_BREAKPOINT_TRIGGER_EXECUTE;
+  p.addr_mode       = PPC_BREAKPOINT_MODE_RANGE_INCLUSIVE;
+  p.condition_mode  = PPC_BREAKPOINT_CONDITION_NONE;
+  p.addr            = (uint64_t) begin_range;
+  p.addr2           = (uint64_t) end_range;
+  p.condition_value = 0;
+
+- set a watchpoint in server processors (BookS)
+
+  p.version         = 1;
+  p.trigger_type    = PPC_BREAKPOINT_TRIGGER_RW;
+  p.addr_mode       = PPC_BREAKPOINT_MODE_RANGE_INCLUSIVE;
+  or
+  p.addr_mode       = PPC_BREAKPOINT_MODE_EXACT;
+
+  p.condition_mode  = PPC_BREAKPOINT_CONDITION_NONE;
+  p.addr            = (uint64_t) begin_range;
+  /* For PPC_BREAKPOINT_MODE_RANGE_INCLUSIVE addr2 needs to be specified, where
+   * addr2 - addr <= 8 Bytes.
+   */
+  p.addr2           = (uint64_t) end_range;
+  p.condition_value = 0;
+
+3. PTRACE_DELHWDEBUG
+
+Takes an integer which identifies an existing breakpoint or watchpoint
+(i.e., the value returned from PTRACE_SETHWDEBUG), and deletes the
+corresponding breakpoint or watchpoint..

+
+I - Software License for Firmware
+=================================
+
+Each firmware file comes with its own software license.  For information on
+the particular license, please see the license text that is distributed with
+the firmware.
+
+II - Microcode Availability
+===========================
+
+Firmware files are distributed through various channels.  Some are available on

+your Freescale representative or your operating system vendor.
+
+III - Description and Terminology
+================================
+
+In this document, the term 'microcode' refers to the sequence of 32-bit
+integers that compose the actual QE microcode.
+
+The term 'firmware' refers to a binary blob that contains the microcode as
+well as other data that
+
+	1) describes the microcode's purpose
+	2) describes how and where to upload the microcode
+	3) specifies the values of various registers
+	4) includes additional data for use by specific device drivers
+
+Firmware files are binary files that contain only a firmware.
+
+IV - Microcode Programming Details
+===================================
+
+The QE architecture allows for only one microcode present in I-RAM for each
+RISC processor.  To replace any current microcode, a full QE reset (which
+disables the microcode) must be performed first.
+
+QE microcode is uploaded using the following procedure:
+
+1) The microcode is placed into I-RAM at a specific location, using the
+   IRAM.IADD and IRAM.IDATA registers.
+
+2) The CERCR.CIR bit is set to 0 or 1, depending on whether the firmware
+   needs split I-RAM.  Split I-RAM is only meaningful for SOCs that have
+   QEs with multiple RISC processors, such as the 8360.  Splitting the I-RAM
+   allows each processor to run a different microcode, effectively creating an
+   asymmetric multiprocessing (AMP) system.
+
+3) The TIBCR trap registers are loaded with the addresses of the trap handlers
+   in the microcode.
+
+4) The RSP.ECCR register is programmed with the value provided.
+
+5) If necessary, device drivers that need the virtual traps and extended mode
+   data will use them.
+
+Virtual Microcode Traps
+
+These virtual traps are conditional branches in the microcode.  These are
+"soft" provisional introduced in the ROMcode in order to enable higher
+flexibility and save h/w traps If new features are activated or an issue is
+being fixed in the RAM package utilizing they should be activated.  This data
+structure signals the microcode which of these virtual traps is active.
+
+This structure contains 6 words that the application should copy to some
+specific been defined.  This table describes the structure.

+
+V - Firmware Structure Layout
+==============================
+
+QE microcode from Freescale is typically provided as a header file.  This
+header file contains macros that define the microcode binary itself as well as
+some other data used in uploading that microcode.  The format of these files
+do not lend themselves to simple inclusion into other code.  Hence,
+the need for a more portable format.  This section defines that format.
+
+Instead of distributing a header file, the microcode and related data are
+embedded into a binary blob.  This blob is passed to the qe_upload_firmware()
+function, which parses the blob and performs everything necessary to upload
+the microcode.
+
+All integers are big-endian.  See the comments for function
+qe_upload_firmware() for up-to-date implementation information.
+
+This structure supports versioning, where the version of the structure is
+embedded into the structure itself.  To ensure forward and backwards
+compatibility, all versions of the structure must use the same 'qe_header'
+structure at the beginning.
+
+'header' (type: struct qe_header):
+	The 'length' field is the size, in bytes, of the entire structure,
+	including all the microcode embedded in it, as well as the CRC (if
+	present).
+
+	The 'magic' field is an array of three bytes that contains the letters
+	'Q', 'E', and 'F'.  This is an identifier that indicates that this
+	structure is a QE Firmware structure.
+
+	The 'version' field is a single byte that indicates the version of this
+	structure.  If the layout of the structure should ever need to be
+	changed to add support for additional types of microcode, then the
+	version number should also be changed.
+
+The 'id' field is a null-terminated string(suitable for printing) that
+identifies the firmware.
+
+The 'count' field indicates the number of 'microcode' structures.  There
+must be one and only one 'microcode' structure for each RISC processor.
+Therefore, this field also represents the number of RISC processors for this
+SOC.
+
+The 'soc' structure contains the SOC numbers and revisions used to match
+the microcode to the SOC itself.  Normally, the microcode loader should
+check the data in this structure with the SOC number and revisions, and
+only upload the microcode if there's a match.  However, this check is not
+made on all platforms.
+
+Although it is not recommended, you can specify '0' in the soc.model
+field to skip matching SOCs altogether.
+
+The 'model' field is a 16-bit number that matches the actual SOC. The
+'major' and 'minor' fields are the major and minor revision numbers,
+respectively, of the SOC.
+
+For example, to match the 8323, revision 1.0:
+     soc.model = 8323
+     soc.major = 1
+     soc.minor = 0
+
+'padding' is necessary for structure alignment.  This field ensures that the
+'extended_modes' field is aligned on a 64-bit boundary.
+
+'extended_modes' is a bitfield that defines special functionality which has an
+impact on the device drivers.  Each bit has its own impact and has special
+instructions for the driver associated with it.  This field is stored in
+the QE library and available to any driver that calles qe_get_firmware_info().
+
+'vtraps' is an array of 8 words that contain virtual trap values for each
+virtual traps.  As with 'extended_modes', this field is stored in the QE
+library and available to any driver that calles qe_get_firmware_info().
+
+'microcode' (type: struct qe_microcode):
+	For each RISC processor there is one 'microcode' structure.  The first
+	'microcode' structure is for the first RISC, and so on.
+
+	The 'id' field is a null-terminated string suitable for printing that
+	identifies this particular microcode.
+
+	'traps' is an array of 16 words that contain hardware trap values
+	for each of the 16 traps.  If trap[i] is 0, then this particular
+	trap is to be ignored (i.e. not written to TIBCR[i]).  The entire value
+	is written as-is to the TIBCR[i] register, so be sure to set the EN
+	and T_IBP bits if necessary.
+
+	'eccr' is the value to program into the ECCR register.
+
+	'iram_offset' is the offset into IRAM to start writing the
+	microcode.
+
+	'count' is the number of 32-bit words in the microcode.
+
+	'code_offset' is the offset, in bytes, from the beginning of this
+	structure where the microcode itself can be found.  The first
+	microcode binary should be located immediately after the 'microcode'
+	array.
+
+	'major', 'minor', and 'revision' are the major, minor, and revision
+	version numbers, respectively, of the microcode.  If all values are 0,
+	then these fields are ignored.
+
+	'reserved' is necessary for structure alignment.  Since 'microcode'
+	is an array, the 64-bit 'extended_modes' field needs to be aligned
+	on a 64-bit boundary, and this can only happen if the size of
+	'microcode' is a multiple of 8 bytes.  To ensure that, we add
+	'reserved'.
+
+After the last microcode is a 32-bit CRC.  It can be calculated using
+this algorithm:
+
+u32 crc32(const u8 *p, unsigned int len)
+{
+	unsigned int i;
+	u32 crc = 0;
+
+	while (len--) {
+	   crc ^= *p++;
+	   for (i = 0; i < 8; i++)
+		   crc = (crc >> 1) ^ ((crc & 1) ? 0xedb88320 : 0);
+	}
+	return crc;
+}

+===============================================
+Power Architecture 64-bit Linux system call ABI
+===============================================
+
+syscall
+=======
+
+syscall calling sequence[*] matches the Power Architecture 64-bit ELF ABI
+specification C function calling sequence, including register preservation
+rules, with the following differences.
+
+[*] Some syscalls (typically low-level management functions) may have
+    different calling sequences (e.g., rt_sigreturn).
+
+Parameters and return value
+---------------------------
+The system call number is specified in r0.
+
+There is a maximum of 6 integer parameters to a syscall, passed in r3-r8.
+
+Both a return value and a return error code are returned. cr0.SO is the return
+error code, and r3 is the return value or error code. When cr0.SO is clear,
+the syscall succeeded and r3 is the return value. When cr0.SO is set, the
+syscall failed and r3 is the error code that generally corresponds to errno.
+
+Stack
+-----
+System calls do not modify the caller's stack frame. For example, the caller's
+stack frame LR and CR save fields are not used.
+
+Register preservation rules
+---------------------------
+Register preservation rules match the ELF ABI calling sequence with the
+following differences:
+
+r0:         Volatile.   (System call number.)
+r3:         Volatile.   (Parameter 1, and return value.)
+r4-r8:      Volatile.   (Parameters 2-6.)
+cr0:        Volatile    (cr0.SO is the return error condition)
+cr1, cr5-7: Nonvolatile.
+lr:         Nonvolatile.
+
+All floating point and vector data registers as well as control and status
+registers are nonvolatile.
+
+Invocation
+----------
+The syscall is performed with the sc instruction, and returns with execution
+continuing at the instruction following the sc instruction.
+
+Transactional Memory
+--------------------
+Syscall behavior can change if the processor is in transactional or suspended
+transaction state, and the syscall can affect the behavior of the transaction.
+
+If the processor is in suspended state when a syscall is made, the syscall
+will be performed as normal, and will return as normal. The syscall will be
+performed in suspended state, so its side effects will be persistent according
+to the usual transactional memory semantics. A syscall may or may not result
+in the transaction being doomed by hardware.
+
+If the processor is in transactional state when a syscall is made, then the
+behavior depends on the presence of PPC_FEATURE2_HTM_NOSC in the AT_HWCAP2 ELF
+auxiliary vector.
+
+- If present, which is the case for newer kernels, then the syscall will not
+  be performed and the transaction will be doomed by the kernel with the
+  failure code TM_CAUSE_SYSCALL | TM_CAUSE_PERSISTENT in the TEXASR SPR.
+
+- If not present (older kernels), then the kernel will suspend the
+  transactional state and the syscall will proceed as in the case of a
+  suspended state syscall, and will resume the transactional state before
+  returning to the caller. This case is not well defined or supported, so this
+  behavior should not be relied upon.
+
+
+vsyscall
+========
+
+vsyscall calling sequence matches the syscall calling sequence, with the
+following differences. Some vsyscalls may have different calling sequences.
+
+Parameters and return value
+---------------------------
+r0 is not used as an input. The vsyscall is selected by its address.
+
+Stack
+-----
+The vsyscall may or may not use the caller's stack frame save areas.
+
+Register preservation rules
+---------------------------
+r0: Volatile.
+cr1, cr5-7: Volatile.
+lr: Volatile.
+
+Invocation
+----------
+The vsyscall is performed with a branch-with-link instruction to the vsyscall
+function address.
+
+Transactional Memory
+--------------------
+vsyscalls will run in the same transactional state as the caller. A vsyscall
+may or may not result in the transaction being doomed by hardware.

+Transactional Memory support
+============================
+
+POWER kernel support for this feature is currently limited to supporting
+its use by user programs.  It is not currently used by the kernel itself.
+
+This file aims to sum up how it is supported by Linux and what behaviour you
+can expect from your user programs.
+
+
+Basic overview
+==============
+
+Hardware Transactional Memory is supported on POWER8 processors, and is a
+feature that enables a different form of atomic memory access.  Several new
+instructions are presented to delimit transactions; transactions are
+guaranteed to either complete atomically or roll back and undo any partial
+changes.
+
+A simple transaction looks like this:
+
+begin_move_money:
+  tbegin
+  beq   abort_handler
+
+  ld    r4, SAVINGS_ACCT(r3)
+  ld    r5, CURRENT_ACCT(r3)
+  subi  r5, r5, 1
+  addi  r4, r4, 1
+  std   r4, SAVINGS_ACCT(r3)
+  std   r5, CURRENT_ACCT(r3)
+
+  tend
+
+  b     continue
+
+abort_handler:
+  ... test for odd failures ...
+
+  /* Retry the transaction if it failed because it conflicted with
+   * someone else: */
+  b     begin_move_money
+
+
+The 'tbegin' instruction denotes the start point, and 'tend' the end point.
+Between these points the processor is in 'Transactional' state; any memory
+references will complete in one go if there are no conflicts with other
+transactional or non-transactional accesses within the system.  In this
+example, the transaction completes as though it were normal straight-line code
+IF no other processor has touched SAVINGS_ACCT(r3) or CURRENT_ACCT(r3); an
+atomic move of money from the current account to the savings account has been
+performed.  Even though the normal ld/std instructions are used (note no
+lwarx/stwcx), either *both* SAVINGS_ACCT(r3) and CURRENT_ACCT(r3) will be
+updated, or neither will be updated.
+
+If, in the meantime, there is a conflict with the locations accessed by the
+transaction, the transaction will be aborted by the CPU.  Register and memory
+state will roll back to that at the 'tbegin', and control will continue from
+'tbegin+4'.  The branch to abort_handler will be taken this second time; the
+abort handler can check the cause of the failure, and retry.
+
+Checkpointed registers include all GPRs, FPRs, VRs/VSRs, LR, CCR/CR, CTR, FPCSR
+and a few other status/flag regs; see the ISA for details.
+
+Causes of transaction aborts
+============================
+
+- Conflicts with cache lines used by other processors
+- Signals
+- Context switches
+- See the ISA for full documentation of everything that will abort transactions.
+
+
+Syscalls
+========
+
+Syscalls made from within an active transaction will not be performed and the
+transaction will be doomed by the kernel with the failure code TM_CAUSE_SYSCALL
+| TM_CAUSE_PERSISTENT.
+
+Syscalls made from within a suspended transaction are performed as normal and
+the transaction is not explicitly doomed by the kernel.  However, what the
+kernel does to perform the syscall may result in the transaction being doomed
+by the hardware.  The syscall is performed in suspended mode so any side
+effects will be persistent, independent of transaction success or failure.  No
+guarantees are provided by the kernel about which syscalls will affect
+transaction success.
+
+Care must be taken when relying on syscalls to abort during active transactions
+if the calls are made via a library.  Libraries may cache values (which may
+give the appearance of success) or perform operations that cause transaction
+failure before entering the kernel (which may produce different failure codes).
+Examples are glibc's getpid() and lazy symbol resolution.
+
+
+Signals
+=======
+
+Delivery of signals (both sync and async) during transactions provides a second
+thread state (ucontext/mcontext) to represent the second transactional register
+state.  Signal delivery 'treclaim's to capture both register states, so signals
+abort transactions.  The usual ucontext_t passed to the signal handler
+represents the checkpointed/original register state; the signal appears to have
+arisen at 'tbegin+4'.
+
+If the sighandler ucontext has uc_link set, a second ucontext has been
+delivered.  For future compatibility the MSR.TS field should be checked to
+determine the transactional state -- if so, the second ucontext in uc->uc_link
+represents the active transactional registers at the point of the signal.
+
+For 64-bit processes, uc->uc_mcontext.regs->msr is a full 64-bit MSR and its TS
+field shows the transactional mode.
+
+For 32-bit processes, the mcontext's MSR register is only 32 bits; the top 32
+bits are stored in the MSR of the second ucontext, i.e. in
+uc->uc_link->uc_mcontext.regs->msr.  The top word contains the transactional
+state TS.
+
+However, basic signal handlers don't need to be aware of transactions
+and simply returning from the handler will deal with things correctly:
+
+Transaction-aware signal handlers can read the transactional register state
+from the second ucontext.  This will be necessary for crash handlers to
+determine, for example, the address of the instruction causing the SIGSEGV.
+
+Example signal handler:
+
+    void crash_handler(int sig, siginfo_t *si, void *uc)
+    {
+      ucontext_t *ucp = uc;
+      ucontext_t *transactional_ucp = ucp->uc_link;
+
+      if (ucp_link) {
+        u64 msr = ucp->uc_mcontext.regs->msr;
+        /* May have transactional ucontext! */
+#ifndef __powerpc64__
+        msr |= ((u64)transactional_ucp->uc_mcontext.regs->msr) << 32;
+#endif
+        if (MSR_TM_ACTIVE(msr)) {
+           /* Yes, we crashed during a transaction.  Oops. */
+   fprintf(stderr, "Transaction to be restarted at 0x%llx, but "
+                           "crashy instruction was at 0x%llx\n",
+                           ucp->uc_mcontext.regs->nip,
+                           transactional_ucp->uc_mcontext.regs->nip);
+        }
+      }
+
+      fix_the_problem(ucp->dar);
+    }
+
+When in an active transaction that takes a signal, we need to be careful with
+the stack.  It's possible that the stack has moved back up after the tbegin.
+The obvious case here is when the tbegin is called inside a function that
+returns before a tend.  In this case, the stack is part of the checkpointed
+transactional memory state.  If we write over this non transactionally or in
+suspend, we are in trouble because if we get a tm abort, the program counter and
+stack pointer will be back at the tbegin but our in memory stack won't be valid
+anymore.
+
+To avoid this, when taking a signal in an active transaction, we need to use
+the stack pointer from the checkpointed state, rather than the speculated
+state.  This ensures that the signal context (written tm suspended) will be
+written below the stack required for the rollback.  The transaction is aborted
+because of the treclaim, so any memory written between the tbegin and the
+signal will be rolled back anyway.
+
+For signals taken in non-TM or suspended mode, we use the
+normal/non-checkpointed stack pointer.
+
+Any transaction initiated inside a sighandler and suspended on return
+from the sighandler to the kernel will get reclaimed and discarded.
+
+Failure cause codes used by kernel
+==================================
+
+These are defined in <asm/reg.h>, and distinguish different reasons why the
+kernel aborted a transaction:
+
+ TM_CAUSE_RESCHED       Thread was rescheduled.
+ TM_CAUSE_TLBI          Software TLB invalid.
+ TM_CAUSE_FAC_UNAV      FP/VEC/VSX unavailable trap.
+ TM_CAUSE_SYSCALL       Syscall from active transaction.
+ TM_CAUSE_SIGNAL        Signal delivered.
+ TM_CAUSE_MISC          Currently unused.
+ TM_CAUSE_ALIGNMENT     Alignment fault.
+ TM_CAUSE_EMULATE       Emulation that touched memory.
+
+These can be checked by the user program's abort handler as TEXASR[0:7].  If
+bit 7 is set, it indicates that the error is consider persistent.  For example
+a TM_CAUSE_ALIGNMENT will be persistent while a TM_CAUSE_RESCHED will not.
+
+GDB
+===
+
+GDB and ptrace are not currently TM-aware.  If one stops during a transaction,
+it looks like the transaction has just started (the checkpointed state is
+presented).  The transaction cannot then be continued and will take the failure
+handler route.  Furthermore, the transactional 2nd register state will be
+inaccessible.  GDB can currently be used on programs using TM, but not sensibly
+in parts within transactions.
+
+POWER9
+======
+
+TM on POWER9 has issues with storing the complete register state. This
+is described in this commit:
+
+    commit 4bb3c7a0208fc13ca70598efd109901a7cd45ae7
+    Author: Paul Mackerras <paulus@ozlabs.org>
+    Date:   Wed Mar 21 21:32:01 2018 +1100
+    KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Work around transactional memory bugs in POWER9
+
+To account for this different POWER9 chips have TM enabled in
+different ways.
+
+On POWER9N DD2.01 and below, TM is disabled. ie
+HWCAP2[PPC_FEATURE2_HTM] is not set.
+
+On POWER9N DD2.1 TM is configured by firmware to always abort a
+transaction when tm suspend occurs. So tsuspend will cause a
+transaction to be aborted and rolled back. Kernel exceptions will also
+cause the transaction to be aborted and rolled back and the exception
+will not occur. If userspace constructs a sigcontext that enables TM
+suspend, the sigcontext will be rejected by the kernel. This mode is
+advertised to users with HWCAP2[PPC_FEATURE2_HTM_NO_SUSPEND] set.
+HWCAP2[PPC_FEATURE2_HTM] is not set in this mode.
+
+On POWER9N DD2.2 and above, KVM and POWERVM emulate TM for guests (as
+described in commit 4bb3c7a0208f), hence TM is enabled for guests
+ie. HWCAP2[PPC_FEATURE2_HTM] is set for guest userspace. Guests that
+makes heavy use of TM suspend (tsuspend or kernel suspend) will result
+in traps into the hypervisor and hence will suffer a performance
+degradation. Host userspace has TM disabled
+ie. HWCAP2[PPC_FEATURE2_HTM] is not set. (although we make enable it
+at some point in the future if we bring the emulation into host
+userspace context switching).
+
+POWER9C DD1.2 and above are only available with POWERVM and hence
+Linux only runs as a guest. On these systems TM is emulated like on
+POWER9N DD2.2.
+
+Guest migration from POWER8 to POWER9 will work with POWER9N DD2.2 and
+POWER9C DD1.2. Since earlier POWER9 processors don't support TM
+emulation, migration from POWER8 to POWER9 is not supported there.
