+       spu_create - create a new spu context
+
+
+Synopsis
+========
+
+       ::
+
+         #include <sys/types.h>
+         #include <sys/spu.h>
+
+         int spu_create(const char *pathname, int flags, mode_t mode);
+
+Description
+===========
+       The  spu_create  system call is used on PowerPC machines that implement
+       the Cell Broadband Engine Architecture in order to  access  Synergistic
+       Processor  Units (SPUs). It creates a new logical context for an SPU in
+       pathname and returns a handle to associated  with  it.   pathname  must
+       point  to  a  non-existing directory in the mount point of the SPU file
+       system (spufs).  When spu_create is successful, a directory  gets  cre-
+       ated on pathname and it is populated with files.
+
+       The  returned  file  handle can only be passed to spu_run(2) or closed,
+       other operations are not defined on it. When it is closed, all  associ-
+       ated  directory entries in spufs are removed. When the last file handle
+       pointing either inside  of  the  context  directory  or  to  this  file
+       descriptor is closed, the logical SPU context is destroyed.
+
+       The  parameter flags can be zero or any bitwise or'd combination of the
+       following constants:
+
+       SPU_RAWIO
+              Allow mapping of some of the hardware registers of the SPU  into
+              user space. This flag requires the CAP_SYS_RAWIO capability, see
+              capabilities(7).
+
+       The mode parameter specifies the permissions used for creating the  new
+       directory  in  spufs.   mode is modified with the user's umask(2) value
+       and then used for both the directory and the files contained in it. The
+       file permissions mask out some more bits of mode because they typically
+       support only read or write access. See stat(2) for a full list  of  the
+       possible mode values.
+
+
+Return Value
+============
+       spu_create  returns a new file descriptor. It may return -1 to indicate
+       an error condition and set errno to  one  of  the  error  codes  listed
+       below.
+
+
+Errors
+======
+       EACCES
+              The  current  user does not have write access on the spufs mount
+              point.
+
+       EEXIST An SPU context already exists at the given path name.
+
+       EFAULT pathname is not a valid string pointer in  the  current  address
+              space.
+
+       EINVAL pathname is not a directory in the spufs mount point.
+
+       ELOOP  Too many symlinks were found while resolving pathname.
+
+       EMFILE The process has reached its maximum open file limit.
+
+       ENAMETOOLONG
+              pathname was too long.
+
+       ENFILE The system has reached the global open file limit.
+
+       ENOENT Part of pathname could not be resolved.
+
+       ENOMEM The kernel could not allocate all resources required.
+
+       ENOSPC There  are  not  enough  SPU resources available to create a new
+              context or the user specific limit for the number  of  SPU  con-
+              texts has been reached.
+
+       ENOSYS the functionality is not provided by the current system, because
+              either the hardware does not provide SPUs or the spufs module is
+              not loaded.
+
+       ENOTDIR
+              A part of pathname is not a directory.
+
+
+
+Notes
+=====
+       spu_create  is  meant  to  be used from libraries that implement a more
+       abstract interface to SPUs, not to be used from  regular  applications.

+       spu_run - execute an spu context
+
+
+Synopsis
+========
+
+       ::
+
+	    #include <sys/spu.h>
+
+	    int spu_run(int fd, unsigned int *npc, unsigned int *event);
+
+Description
+===========
+       The  spu_run system call is used on PowerPC machines that implement the
+       Cell Broadband Engine Architecture in order to access Synergistic  Pro-
+       cessor  Units  (SPUs).  It  uses the fd that was returned from spu_cre-
+       ate(2) to address a specific SPU context. When the context gets  sched-
+       uled  to a physical SPU, it starts execution at the instruction pointer
+       passed in npc.
+
+       Execution of SPU code happens synchronously, meaning that spu_run  does
+       not  return  while the SPU is still running. If there is a need to exe-
+       cute SPU code in parallel with other code on either  the  main  CPU  or
+       other  SPUs,  you  need to create a new thread of execution first, e.g.
+       using the pthread_create(3) call.
+
+       When spu_run returns, the current value of the SPU instruction  pointer
+       is  written back to npc, so you can call spu_run again without updating
+       the pointers.
+
+       event can be a NULL pointer or point to an extended  status  code  that
+       gets  filled  when spu_run returns. It can be one of the following con-
+       stants:
+
+       SPE_EVENT_DMA_ALIGNMENT
+              A DMA alignment error
+
+       SPE_EVENT_SPE_DATA_SEGMENT
+              A DMA segmentation error
+
+       SPE_EVENT_SPE_DATA_STORAGE
+              A DMA storage error
+
+       If NULL is passed as the event argument, these errors will result in  a
+       signal delivered to the calling process.
+
+Return Value
+============
+       spu_run  returns the value of the spu_status register or -1 to indicate
+       an error and set errno to one of the error  codes  listed  below.   The
+       spu_status  register  value  contains  a  bit  mask of status codes and
+       optionally a 14 bit code returned from the stop-and-signal  instruction
+       on the SPU. The bit masks for the status codes are:
+
+       0x02
+	      SPU was stopped by stop-and-signal.
+
+       0x04
+	      SPU was stopped by halt.
+
+       0x08
+	      SPU is waiting for a channel.
+
+       0x10
+	      SPU is in single-step mode.
+
+       0x20
+	      SPU has tried to execute an invalid instruction.
+
+       0x40
+	      SPU has tried to access an invalid channel.
+
+       0x3fff0000
+              The  bits  masked with this value contain the code returned from
+              stop-and-signal.
+
+       There are always one or more of the lower eight bits set  or  an  error
+       code is returned from spu_run.
+
+Errors
+======
+       EAGAIN or EWOULDBLOCK
+              fd is in non-blocking mode and spu_run would block.
+
+       EBADF  fd is not a valid file descriptor.
+
+       EFAULT npc is not a valid pointer or status is neither NULL nor a valid
+              pointer.
+
+       EINTR  A signal occurred while spu_run was in progress.  The npc  value
+              has  been updated to the new program counter value if necessary.
+
+       EINVAL fd is not a file descriptor returned from spu_create(2).
+
+       ENOMEM Insufficient memory was available to handle a page fault result-
+              ing from an MFC direct memory access.
+
+       ENOSYS the functionality is not provided by the current system, because
+              either the hardware does not provide SPUs or the spufs module is
+              not loaded.
+

+
+       spufs - the SPU file system
+
+
+Description
+===========
+
+       The SPU file system is used on PowerPC machines that implement the Cell
+       Broadband Engine Architecture in order to access Synergistic  Processor
+       Units (SPUs).
+
+       The file system provides a name space similar to posix shared memory or
+       message queues. Users that have write permissions on  the  file  system
+       can use spu_create(2) to establish SPU contexts in the spufs root.
+
+       Every SPU context is represented by a directory containing a predefined
+       set of files. These files can be used for manipulating the state of the
+       logical SPU. Users can change permissions on those files, but not actu-
+       ally add or remove files.
+
+
+Mount Options
+=============
+
+       uid=<uid>
+              set the user owning the mount point, the default is 0 (root).
+
+       gid=<gid>
+              set the group owning the mount point, the default is 0 (root).
+
+
+Files
+=====
+
+       The files in spufs mostly follow the standard behavior for regular sys-
+       tem  calls like read(2) or write(2), but often support only a subset of
+       the operations supported on regular file systems. This list details the
+       supported  operations  and  the  deviations  from  the behaviour in the
+       respective man pages.
+
+       All files that support the read(2) operation also support readv(2)  and
+       all  files  that support the write(2) operation also support writev(2).
+       All files support the access(2) and stat(2) family of  operations,  but
+       only  the  st_mode,  st_nlink,  st_uid and st_gid fields of struct stat
+       contain reliable information.
+
+       All files support the chmod(2)/fchmod(2) and chown(2)/fchown(2)  opera-
+       tions,  but  will  not be able to grant permissions that contradict the
+       possible operations, e.g. read access on the wbox file.
+
+       The current set of files is:
+
+
+   /mem
+       the contents of the local storage memory  of  the  SPU.   This  can  be
+       accessed  like  a regular shared memory file and contains both code and
+       data in the address space of the SPU.  The possible  operations  on  an
+       open mem file are:
+
+       read(2), pread(2), write(2), pwrite(2), lseek(2)
+              These  operate  as  documented, with the exception that seek(2),
+              write(2) and pwrite(2) are not supported beyond the end  of  the
+              file. The file size is the size of the local storage of the SPU,
+              which normally is 256 kilobytes.
+
+       mmap(2)
+              Mapping mem into the process address space gives access  to  the
+              SPU  local  storage  within  the  process  address  space.  Only
+              MAP_SHARED mappings are allowed.
+
+
+   /mbox
+       The first SPU to CPU communication mailbox. This file is read-only  and
+       can  be  read  in  units of 32 bits.  The file can only be used in non-
+       blocking mode and it even poll() will not block on  it.   The  possible
+       operations on an open mbox file are:
+
+       read(2)
+              If  a  count smaller than four is requested, read returns -1 and
+              sets errno to EINVAL.  If there is no data available in the mail
+              box,  the  return  value  is set to -1 and errno becomes EAGAIN.
+              When data has been read successfully, four bytes are  placed  in
+              the data buffer and the value four is returned.
+
+
+   /ibox
+       The  second  SPU  to CPU communication mailbox. This file is similar to
+       the first mailbox file, but can be read in blocking I/O mode,  and  the
+       poll  family of system calls can be used to wait for it.  The  possible
+       operations on an open ibox file are:
+
+       read(2)
+              If a count smaller than four is requested, read returns  -1  and
+              sets errno to EINVAL.  If there is no data available in the mail
+              box and the file descriptor has been opened with O_NONBLOCK, the
+              return value is set to -1 and errno becomes EAGAIN.
+
+              If  there  is  no  data  available  in the mail box and the file
+              descriptor has been opened without  O_NONBLOCK,  the  call  will
+              block  until  the  SPU  writes to its interrupt mailbox channel.
+              When data has been read successfully, four bytes are  placed  in
+              the data buffer and the value four is returned.
+
+       poll(2)
+              Poll  on  the  ibox  file returns (POLLIN | POLLRDNORM) whenever
+              data is available for reading.
+
+
+   /wbox
+       The CPU to SPU communation mailbox. It is write-only and can be written
+       in  units  of  32  bits. If the mailbox is full, write() will block and
+       poll can be used to wait for it becoming  empty  again.   The  possible
+       operations  on  an open wbox file are: write(2) If a count smaller than
+       four is requested, write returns -1 and sets errno to EINVAL.  If there
+       is  no space available in the mail box and the file descriptor has been
+       opened with O_NONBLOCK, the return value is set to -1 and errno becomes
+       EAGAIN.
+
+       If  there is no space available in the mail box and the file descriptor
+       has been opened without O_NONBLOCK, the call will block until  the  SPU
+       reads  from  its PPE mailbox channel.  When data has been read success-
+       fully, four bytes are placed in the data buffer and the value  four  is
+       returned.
+
+       poll(2)
+              Poll  on  the  ibox file returns (POLLOUT | POLLWRNORM) whenever
+              space is available for writing.
+
+
+   /mbox_stat, /ibox_stat, /wbox_stat
+       Read-only files that contain the length of the current queue, i.e.  how
+       many  words  can  be  read  from  mbox or ibox or how many words can be
+       written to wbox without blocking.  The files can be read only in 4-byte
+       units  and  return  a  big-endian  binary integer number.  The possible
+       operations on an open ``*box_stat`` file are:
+
+       read(2)
+              If a count smaller than four is requested, read returns  -1  and
+              sets errno to EINVAL.  Otherwise, a four byte value is placed in
+              the data buffer, containing the number of elements that  can  be
+              read  from  (for  mbox_stat  and  ibox_stat)  or written to (for
+              wbox_stat) the respective mail box without blocking or resulting
+              in EAGAIN.
+
+
+   /npc, /decr, /decr_status, /spu_tag_mask, /event_mask, /srr0
+       Internal  registers  of  the SPU. The representation is an ASCII string
+       with the numeric value of the next instruction to  be  executed.  These
+       can  be  used in read/write mode for debugging, but normal operation of
+       programs should not rely on them because access to any of  them  except
+       npc requires an SPU context save and is therefore very inefficient.
+
+       The contents of these files are:
+
+       =================== ===================================
+       npc                 Next Program Counter
+       decr                SPU Decrementer
+       decr_status         Decrementer Status
+       spu_tag_mask        MFC tag mask for SPU DMA
+       event_mask          Event mask for SPU interrupts
+       srr0                Interrupt Return address register
+       =================== ===================================
+
+
+       The   possible   operations   on   an   open  npc,  decr,  decr_status,
+       spu_tag_mask, event_mask or srr0 file are:
+
+       read(2)
+              When the count supplied to the read call  is  shorter  than  the
+              required  length for the pointer value plus a newline character,
+              subsequent reads from the same file descriptor  will  result  in
+              completing  the string, regardless of changes to the register by
+              a running SPU task.  When a complete string has been  read,  all
+              subsequent read operations will return zero bytes and a new file
+              descriptor needs to be opened to read the value again.
+
+       write(2)
+              A write operation on the file results in setting the register to
+              the  value  given  in  the string. The string is parsed from the
+              beginning to the first non-numeric character or the end  of  the
+              buffer.  Subsequent writes to the same file descriptor overwrite
+              the previous setting.
+
+
+   /fpcr
+       This file gives access to the Floating Point Status and Control  Regis-
+       ter as a four byte long file. The operations on the fpcr file are:
+
+       read(2)
+              If  a  count smaller than four is requested, read returns -1 and
+              sets errno to EINVAL.  Otherwise, a four byte value is placed in
+              the data buffer, containing the current value of the fpcr regis-
+              ter.
+
+       write(2)
+              If a count smaller than four is requested, write returns -1  and
+              sets  errno  to  EINVAL.  Otherwise, a four byte value is copied
+              from the data buffer, updating the value of the fpcr register.
+
+
+   /signal1, /signal2
+       The two signal notification channels of an SPU.  These  are  read-write
+       files  that  operate  on  a 32 bit word.  Writing to one of these files
+       triggers an interrupt on the SPU.  The  value  written  to  the  signal
+       files can be read from the SPU through a channel read or from host user
+       space through the file.  After the value has been read by the  SPU,  it
+       is  reset  to zero.  The possible operations on an open signal1 or sig-
+       nal2 file are:

+       read(2)
+              If a count smaller than four is requested, read returns  -1  and
+              sets errno to EINVAL.  Otherwise, a four byte value is placed in
+              the data buffer, containing the current value of  the  specified
+              signal notification register.
+
+       write(2)
+              If  a count smaller than four is requested, write returns -1 and
+              sets errno to EINVAL.  Otherwise, a four byte  value  is  copied
+              from the data buffer, updating the value of the specified signal
+              notification register.  The signal  notification  register  will
+              either be replaced with the input data or will be updated to the
+              bitwise OR of the old value and the input data, depending on the
+              contents  of  the  signal1_type,  or  signal2_type respectively,
+              file.
+
+
+   /signal1_type, /signal2_type
+       These two files change the behavior of the signal1 and signal2  notifi-
+       cation  files.  The  contain  a numerical ASCII string which is read as
+       either "1" or "0".  In mode 0 (overwrite), the  hardware  replaces  the
+       contents of the signal channel with the data that is written to it.  in
+       mode 1 (logical OR), the hardware accumulates the bits that are  subse-
+       quently written to it.  The possible operations on an open signal1_type
+       or signal2_type file are:
+
+       read(2)
+              When the count supplied to the read call  is  shorter  than  the
+              required  length  for the digit plus a newline character, subse-
+              quent reads from the same file descriptor will  result  in  com-
+              pleting  the  string.  When a complete string has been read, all
+              subsequent read operations will return zero bytes and a new file
+              descriptor needs to be opened to read the value again.
+
+       write(2)
+              A write operation on the file results in setting the register to
+              the value given in the string. The string  is  parsed  from  the
+              beginning  to  the first non-numeric character or the end of the
+              buffer.  Subsequent writes to the same file descriptor overwrite
+              the previous setting.
