 kernel-doc nano-HOWTO
 =====================
 
+How to format kernel-doc comments
+---------------------------------
+
+In order to provide embedded, 'C' friendly, easy to maintain,
+but consistent and extractable documentation of the functions and
+data structures in the Linux kernel, the Linux kernel has adopted
+a consistent style for documenting functions and their parameters,
+and structures and their members.
+
+The format for this documentation is called the kernel-doc format.
+It is documented in this Documentation/kernel-doc-nano-HOWTO.txt file.
+
+This style embeds the documentation within the source files, using
+a few simple conventions.  The scripts/kernel-doc perl script, some
+SGML templates in Documentation/DocBook, and other tools understand
+these conventions, and are used to extract this embedded documentation
+into various documents.
+
+In order to provide good documentation of kernel functions and data
+structures, please use the following conventions to format your
+kernel-doc comments in Linux kernel source.
+
+We definitely need kernel-doc formatted documentation for functions
+that are exported to loadable modules using EXPORT_SYMBOL.
+
+We also look to provide kernel-doc formatted documentation for
+functions externally visible to other kernel files (not marked
+"static").
+
+We also recommend providing kernel-doc formatted documentation
+for private (file "static") routines, for consistency of kernel
+source code layout.  But this is lower priority and at the
+discretion of the MAINTAINER of that kernel source file.
+
+Data structures visible in kernel include files should also be
+documented using kernel-doc formatted comments.
+
+The opening comment mark "/**" is reserved for kernel-doc comments.
+Only comments so marked will be considered by the kernel-doc scripts,
+and any comment so marked must be in kernel-doc format.  Do not use
+"/**" to be begin a comment block unless the comment block contains
+kernel-doc formatted comments.  The closing comment marker for
+kernel-doc comments can be either "*/" or "**/".
+
+Kernel-doc comments should be placed just before the function
+or data structure being described.
+
+Example kernel-doc function comment:
+
+/**
+ * foobar() - short function description of foobar
+ * @arg1:	Describe the first argument to foobar.
+ * @arg2:	Describe the second argument to foobar.
+ *		One can provide multiple line descriptions
+ *		for arguments.
+ *
+ * A longer description, with more discussion of the function foobar()
+ * that might be useful to those using or modifying it.  Begins with
+ * empty comment line, and may include additional embedded empty
+ * comment lines.
+ *
+ * The longer description can have multiple paragraphs.
+ **/
+
+The first line, with the short description, must be on a single line.
+
+The @argument descriptions must begin on the very next line following
+this opening short function description line, with no intervening
+empty comment lines.
+
+Example kernel-doc data structure comment.
+
+/**
+ * struct blah - the basic blah structure
+ * @mem1:	describe the first member of struct blah
+ * @mem2:	describe the second member of struct blah,
+ *		perhaps with more lines and words.
+ *
+ * Longer description of this structure.
+ **/
+
+The kernel-doc function comments describe each parameter to the
+function, in order, with the @name lines.
+
+The kernel-doc data structure comments describe each structure member
+in the data structure, with the @name lines.
+
+The longer description formatting is "reflowed", losing your line
+breaks.  So presenting carefully formatted lists within these
+descriptions won't work so well; derived documentation will lose
+the formatting.
+
+See the section below "How to add extractable documentation to your
+source files" for more details and notes on how to format kernel-doc
+comments.
+
+Components of the kernel-doc system
+-----------------------------------
+
 Many places in the source tree have extractable documentation in the
 form of block comments above functions.  The components of this system
 are:

+pagemap, from the userspace perspective
+---------------------------------------
+
+pagemap is a new (as of 2.6.25) set of interfaces in the kernel that allow
+userspace programs to examine the page tables and related information by
+reading files in /proc.
+
+There are three components to pagemap:
+
+ * /proc/pid/pagemap.  This file lets a userspace process find out which
+   physical frame each virtual page is mapped to.  It contains one 64-bit
+   value for each virtual page, containing the following data (from
+   fs/proc/task_mmu.c, above pagemap_read):
+
+    * Bits 0-55  page frame number (PFN) if present
+    * Bits 0-4   swap type if swapped
+    * Bits 5-55  swap offset if swapped
+    * Bits 55-60 page shift (page size = 1<<page shift)
+    * Bit  61    reserved for future use
+    * Bit  62    page swapped
+    * Bit  63    page present
+
+   If the page is not present but in swap, then the PFN contains an
+   encoding of the swap file number and the page's offset into the
+   swap. Unmapped pages return a null PFN. This allows determining
+   precisely which pages are mapped (or in swap) and comparing mapped
+   pages between processes.
+
+   Efficient users of this interface will use /proc/pid/maps to
+   determine which areas of memory are actually mapped and llseek to
+   skip over unmapped regions.
+
+ * /proc/kpagecount.  This file contains a 64-bit count of the number of
+   times each page is mapped, indexed by PFN.
+
+ * /proc/kpageflags.  This file contains a 64-bit set of flags for each
+   page, indexed by PFN.
+
+   The flags are (from fs/proc/proc_misc, above kpageflags_read):
+
+     0. LOCKED
+     1. ERROR
+     2. REFERENCED
+     3. UPTODATE
+     4. DIRTY
+     5. LRU
+     6. ACTIVE
+     7. SLAB
+     8. WRITEBACK
+     9. RECLAIM
+    10. BUDDY
+
+Using pagemap to do something useful:
+
+The general procedure for using pagemap to find out about a process' memory
+usage goes like this:
+
+ 1. Read /proc/pid/maps to determine which parts of the memory space are
+    mapped to what.
+ 2. Select the maps you are interested in -- all of them, or a particular
+    library, or the stack or the heap, etc.
+ 3. Open /proc/pid/pagemap and seek to the pages you would like to examine.
+ 4. Read a u64 for each page from pagemap.
+ 5. Open /proc/kpagecount and/or /proc/kpageflags.  For each PFN you just
+    read, seek to that entry in the file, and read the data you want.
+
+For example, to find the "unique set size" (USS), which is the amount of
+memory that a process is using that is not shared with any other process,
+you can go through every map in the process, find the PFNs, look those up
+in kpagecount, and tally up the number of pages that are only referenced
+once.
+
+Other notes:
+
+Reading from any of the files will return -EINVAL if you are not starting
+the read on an 8-byte boundary (e.g., if you seeked an odd number of bytes
+into the file), or if the size of the read is not a multiple of 8 bytes.
