+Description: The mouse can store 5 profiles which can be switched by the
+ press of a button. profile holds index of actual profile.
+ This value is persistent, so its value determines the profile
+ that's active when the device is powered on next time.
+ When written, the device activates the set profile immediately.
+ The data has to be 3 bytes long.
+ The device will reject invalid data.

+ - Manipulation functions.
+ - Access functions.

+ - Simultaneous alteration and iteration.
+
+
+========
+OVERVIEW
+========
+
+This associative array implementation is an object container with the following
+properties:
+
+ (1) Objects are opaque pointers. The implementation does not care where they
+ point (if anywhere) or what they point to (if anything).
+
+ [!] NOTE: Pointers to objects _must_ be zero in the least significant bit.
+
+ (2) Objects do not need to contain linkage blocks for use by the array. This
+ permits an object to be located in multiple arrays simultaneously.
+ Rather, the array is made up of metadata blocks that point to objects.
+
+ (3) Objects require index keys to locate them within the array.
+
+ (4) Index keys must be unique. Inserting an object with the same key as one
+ already in the array will replace the old object.
+
+ (5) Index keys can be of any length and can be of different lengths.
+
+ (6) Index keys should encode the length early on, before any variation due to
+ length is seen.
+
+ (7) Index keys can include a hash to scatter objects throughout the array.
+
+ (8) The array can iterated over. The objects will not necessarily come out in
+ key order.
+
+ (9) The array can be iterated over whilst it is being modified, provided the
+ RCU readlock is being held by the iterator. Note, however, under these
+ circumstances, some objects may be seen more than once. If this is a
+ problem, the iterator should lock against modification. Objects will not
+ be missed, however, unless deleted.
+
+(10) Objects in the array can be looked up by means of their index key.
+
+(11) Objects can be looked up whilst the array is being modified, provided the
+ RCU readlock is being held by the thread doing the look up.
+
+The implementation uses a tree of 16-pointer nodes internally that are indexed
+on each level by nibbles from the index key in the same manner as in a radix
+tree. To improve memory efficiency, shortcuts can be emplaced to skip over
+what would otherwise be a series of single-occupancy nodes. Further, nodes
+pack leaf object pointers into spare space in the node rather than making an
+extra branch until as such time an object needs to be added to a full node.
+
+
+==============
+THE PUBLIC API
+==============
+
+The public API can be found in <linux/assoc_array.h>. The associative array is
+rooted on the following structure:
+
+ struct assoc_array {
+ ...
+ };
+
+The code is selected by enabling CONFIG_ASSOCIATIVE_ARRAY.
+
+
+EDIT SCRIPT
+-----------
+
+The insertion and deletion functions produce an 'edit script' that can later be
+applied to effect the changes without risking ENOMEM. This retains the
+preallocated metadata blocks that will be installed in the internal tree and
+keeps track of the metadata blocks that will be removed from the tree when the
+script is applied.
+
+This is also used to keep track of dead blocks and dead objects after the
+script has been applied so that they can be freed later. The freeing is done
+after an RCU grace period has passed - thus allowing access functions to
+proceed under the RCU read lock.
+
+The script appears as outside of the API as a pointer of the type:
+
+ struct assoc_array_edit;
+
+There are two functions for dealing with the script:
+
+ (1) Apply an edit script.
+
+ void assoc_array_apply_edit(struct assoc_array_edit *edit);
+
+ This will perform the edit functions, interpolating various write barriers
+ to permit accesses under the RCU read lock to continue. The edit script
+ will then be passed to call_rcu() to free it and any dead stuff it points
+ to.
+
+ (2) Cancel an edit script.
+
+ void assoc_array_cancel_edit(struct assoc_array_edit *edit);
+
+ This frees the edit script and all preallocated memory immediately. If
+ this was for insertion, the new object is _not_ released by this function,
+ but must rather be released by the caller.
+
+These functions are guaranteed not to fail.
+
+
+OPERATIONS TABLE
+----------------
+
+Various functions take a table of operations:
+
+ struct assoc_array_ops {
+ ...
+ };
+
+This points to a number of methods, all of which need to be provided:
+
+ (1) Get a chunk of index key from caller data:
+
+ unsigned long (*get_key_chunk)(const void *index_key, int level);
+
+ This should return a chunk of caller-supplied index key starting at the
+ *bit* position given by the level argument. The level argument will be a
+ multiple of ASSOC_ARRAY_KEY_CHUNK_SIZE and the function should return
+ ASSOC_ARRAY_KEY_CHUNK_SIZE bits. No error is possible.
+
+
+ (2) Get a chunk of an object's index key.
+
+ unsigned long (*get_object_key_chunk)(const void *object, int level);
+
+ As the previous function, but gets its data from an object in the array
+ rather than from a caller-supplied index key.
+
+
+ (3) See if this is the object we're looking for.
+
+ bool (*compare_object)(const void *object, const void *index_key);
+
+ Compare the object against an index key and return true if it matches and
+ false if it doesn't.
+
+
+ (4) Diff the index keys of two objects.
+
+ int (*diff_objects)(const void *a, const void *b);
+
+ Return the bit position at which the index keys of two objects differ or
+ -1 if they are the same.
+
+
+ (5) Free an object.
+

+
+ Free the specified object. Note that this may be called an RCU grace
+ period after assoc_array_apply_edit() was called, so synchronize_rcu() may
+ be necessary on module unloading.
+
+
+MANIPULATION FUNCTIONS
+----------------------
+
+There are a number of functions for manipulating an associative array:
+
+ (1) Initialise an associative array.
+
+ void assoc_array_init(struct assoc_array *array);
+
+ This initialises the base structure for an associative array. It can't
+ fail.
+
+
+ (2) Insert/replace an object in an associative array.
+
+ struct assoc_array_edit *
+ assoc_array_insert(struct assoc_array *array,
+ const struct assoc_array_ops *ops,
+ const void *index_key,
+ void *object);
+
+ This inserts the given object into the array. Note that the least
+ significant bit of the pointer must be zero as it's used to type-mark
+ pointers internally.
+
+ If an object already exists for that key then it will be replaced with the
+ new object and the old one will be freed automatically.
+
+ The index_key argument should hold index key information and is
+ passed to the methods in the ops table when they are called.
+
+ This function makes no alteration to the array itself, but rather returns
+ an edit script that must be applied. -ENOMEM is returned in the case of
+ an out-of-memory error.
+
+ The caller should lock exclusively against other modifiers of the array.
+
+
+ (3) Delete an object from an associative array.
+
+ struct assoc_array_edit *
+ assoc_array_delete(struct assoc_array *array,
+ const struct assoc_array_ops *ops,
+ const void *index_key);
+
+ This deletes an object that matches the specified data from the array.
+
+ The index_key argument should hold index key information and is
+ passed to the methods in the ops table when they are called.
+
+ This function makes no alteration to the array itself, but rather returns
+ an edit script that must be applied. -ENOMEM is returned in the case of
+ an out-of-memory error. NULL will be returned if the specified object is
+ not found within the array.
+
+ The caller should lock exclusively against other modifiers of the array.
+
+
+ (4) Delete all objects from an associative array.
+
+ struct assoc_array_edit *
+ assoc_array_clear(struct assoc_array *array,
+ const struct assoc_array_ops *ops);
+
+ This deletes all the objects from an associative array and leaves it
+ completely empty.
+
+ This function makes no alteration to the array itself, but rather returns
+ an edit script that must be applied. -ENOMEM is returned in the case of
+ an out-of-memory error.
+
+ The caller should lock exclusively against other modifiers of the array.
+
+
+ (5) Destroy an associative array, deleting all objects.
+
+ void assoc_array_destroy(struct assoc_array *array,
+ const struct assoc_array_ops *ops);
+
+ This destroys the contents of the associative array and leaves it
+ completely empty. It is not permitted for another thread to be traversing
+ the array under the RCU read lock at the same time as this function is
+ destroying it as no RCU deferral is performed on memory release -
+ something that would require memory to be allocated.
+
+ The caller should lock exclusively against other modifiers and accessors
+ of the array.
+
+
+ (6) Garbage collect an associative array.
+
+ int assoc_array_gc(struct assoc_array *array,
+ const struct assoc_array_ops *ops,
+ bool (*iterator)(void *object, void *iterator_data),
+ void *iterator_data);
+
+ This iterates over the objects in an associative array and passes each one
+ to iterator(). If iterator() returns true, the object is kept. If it
+ returns false, the object will be freed. If the iterator() function
+ returns true, it must perform any appropriate refcount incrementing on the
+ object before returning.
+
+ The internal tree will be packed down if possible as part of the iteration
+ to reduce the number of nodes in it.
+
+ The iterator_data is passed directly to iterator() and is otherwise
+ ignored by the function.
+
+ The function will return 0 if successful and -ENOMEM if there wasn't
+ enough memory.
+
+ It is possible for other threads to iterate over or search the array under
+ the RCU read lock whilst this function is in progress. The caller should
+ lock exclusively against other modifiers of the array.
+
+
+ACCESS FUNCTIONS
+----------------
+
+There are two functions for accessing an associative array:
+
+ (1) Iterate over all the objects in an associative array.
+
+ int assoc_array_iterate(const struct assoc_array *array,
+ int (*iterator)(const void *object,
+ void *iterator_data),
+ void *iterator_data);
+
+ This passes each object in the array to the iterator callback function.
+ iterator_data is private data for that function.
+
+ This may be used on an array at the same time as the array is being
+ modified, provided the RCU read lock is held. Under such circumstances,
+ it is possible for the iteration function to see some objects twice. If
+ this is a problem, then modification should be locked against. The
+ iteration algorithm should not, however, miss any objects.
+
+ The function will return 0 if no objects were in the array or else it will
+ return the result of the last iterator function called. Iteration stops
+ immediately if any call to the iteration function results in a non-zero
+ return.
+
+
+ (2) Find an object in an associative array.
+
+ void *assoc_array_find(const struct assoc_array *array,
+ const struct assoc_array_ops *ops,
+ const void *index_key);
+
+ This walks through the array's internal tree directly to the object
+ specified by the index key..
+
+ This may be used on an array at the same time as the array is being
+ modified, provided the RCU read lock is held.
+
+ The function will return the object if found (and set *_type to the object
+ type) or will return NULL if the object was not found.
+
+
+INDEX KEY FORM
+--------------
+
+The index key can be of any form, but since the algorithms aren't told how long
+the key is, it is strongly recommended that the index key includes its length
+very early on before any variation due to the length would have an effect on
+comparisons.
+
+This will cause leaves with different length keys to scatter away from each
+other - and those with the same length keys to cluster together.
+
+It is also recommended that the index key begin with a hash of the rest of the
+key to maximise scattering throughout keyspace.
+
+The better the scattering, the wider and lower the internal tree will be.
+
+Poor scattering isn't too much of a problem as there are shortcuts and nodes
+can contain mixtures of leaves and metadata pointers.
+
+The index key is read in chunks of machine word. Each chunk is subdivided into
+one nibble (4 bits) per level, so on a 32-bit CPU this is good for 8 levels and
+on a 64-bit CPU, 16 levels. Unless the scattering is really poor, it is
+unlikely that more than one word of any particular index key will have to be
+used.
+
+
+=================
+INTERNAL WORKINGS
+=================
+
+The associative array data structure has an internal tree. This tree is
+constructed of two types of metadata blocks: nodes and shortcuts.
+
+A node is an array of slots. Each slot can contain one of four things:
+
+ (*) A NULL pointer, indicating that the slot is empty.
+
+ (*) A pointer to an object (a leaf).
+
+ (*) A pointer to a node at the next level.
+
+ (*) A pointer to a shortcut.
+
+
+BASIC INTERNAL TREE LAYOUT
+--------------------------
+
+Ignoring shortcuts for the moment, the nodes form a multilevel tree. The index
+key space is strictly subdivided by the nodes in the tree and nodes occur on
+fixed levels. For example:
+
+ Level: 0 1 2 3
+ =============== =============== =============== ===============
+ NODE D
+ NODE B NODE C +------>+---+
+ +------>+---+ +------>+---+ | | 0 |
+ NODE A | | 0 | | | 0 | | +---+
+ +---+ | +---+ | +---+ | : :
+ | 0 | | : : | : : | +---+
+ +---+ | +---+ | +---+ | | f |
+ | 1 |---+ | 3 |---+ | 7 |---+ +---+
+ +---+ +---+ +---+
+ : : : : | 8 |---+
+ +---+ +---+ +---+ | NODE E
+ | e |---+ | f | : : +------>+---+
+ +---+ | +---+ +---+ | 0 |
+ | f | | | f | +---+
+ +---+ | +---+ : :
+ | NODE F +---+
+ +------>+---+ | f |
+ | 0 | NODE G +---+
+ +---+ +------>+---+
+ : : | | 0 |
+ +---+ | +---+
+ | 6 |---+ : :
+ +---+ +---+
+ : : | f |
+ +---+ +---+
+ | f |
+ +---+
+
+In the above example, there are 7 nodes (A-G), each with 16 slots (0-f).
+Assuming no other meta data nodes in the tree, the key space is divided thusly:
+
+ KEY PREFIX NODE
+ ========== ====
+ 137* D
+ 138* E
+ 13[0-69-f]* C
+ 1[0-24-f]* B
+ e6* G
+ e[0-57-f]* F
+ [02-df]* A
+
+So, for instance, keys with the following example index keys will be found in
+the appropriate nodes:
+
+ INDEX KEY PREFIX NODE
+ =============== ======= ====
+ 13694892892489 13 C
+ 13795289025897 137 D
+ 13889dde88793 138 E
+ 138bbb89003093 138 E
+ 1394879524789 12 C
+ 1458952489 1 B
+ 9431809de993ba - A
+ b4542910809cd - A
+ e5284310def98 e F
+ e68428974237 e6 G
+ e7fffcbd443 e F
+ f3842239082 - A
+
+To save memory, if a node can hold all the leaves in its portion of keyspace,
+then the node will have all those leaves in it and will not have any metadata
+pointers - even if some of those leaves would like to be in the same slot.
+
+A node can contain a heterogeneous mix of leaves and metadata pointers.
+Metadata pointers must be in the slots that match their subdivisions of key
+space. The leaves can be in any slot not occupied by a metadata pointer. It
+is guaranteed that none of the leaves in a node will match a slot occupied by a
+metadata pointer. If the metadata pointer is there, any leaf whose key matches
+the metadata key prefix must be in the subtree that the metadata pointer points
+to.
+
+In the above example list of index keys, node A will contain:
+
+ SLOT CONTENT INDEX KEY (PREFIX)
+ ==== =============== ==================
+ 1 PTR TO NODE B 1*
+ any LEAF 9431809de993ba
+ any LEAF b4542910809cd
+ e PTR TO NODE F e*
+ any LEAF f3842239082
+
+and node B:
+
+ 3 PTR TO NODE C 13*
+ any LEAF 1458952489
+
+
+SHORTCUTS
+---------
+
+Shortcuts are metadata records that jump over a piece of keyspace. A shortcut
+is a replacement for a series of single-occupancy nodes ascending through the
+levels. Shortcuts exist to save memory and to speed up traversal.
+
+It is possible for the root of the tree to be a shortcut - say, for example,
+the tree contains at least 17 nodes all with key prefix '1111'. The insertion
+algorithm will insert a shortcut to skip over the '1111' keyspace in a single
+bound and get to the fourth level where these actually become different.
+
+
+SPLITTING AND COLLAPSING NODES
+------------------------------
+
+Each node has a maximum capacity of 16 leaves and metadata pointers. If the
+insertion algorithm finds that it is trying to insert a 17th object into a
+node, that node will be split such that at least two leaves that have a common
+key segment at that level end up in a separate node rooted on that slot for
+that common key segment.
+
+If the leaves in a full node and the leaf that is being inserted are
+sufficiently similar, then a shortcut will be inserted into the tree.
+
+When the number of objects in the subtree rooted at a node falls to 16 or
+fewer, then the subtree will be collapsed down to a single node - and this will
+ripple towards the root if possible.
+
+
+NON-RECURSIVE ITERATION
+-----------------------
+
+Each node and shortcut contains a back pointer to its parent and the number of
+slot in that parent that points to it. None-recursive iteration uses these to
+proceed rootwards through the tree, going to the parent node, slot N + 1 to
+make sure progress is made without the need for a stack.
+
+The backpointers, however, make simultaneous alteration and iteration tricky.
+
+
+SIMULTANEOUS ALTERATION AND ITERATION
+-------------------------------------
+
+There are a number of cases to consider:
+
+ (1) Simple insert/replace. This involves simply replacing a NULL or old
+ matching leaf pointer with the pointer to the new leaf after a barrier.
+ The metadata blocks don't change otherwise. An old leaf won't be freed
+ until after the RCU grace period.
+
+ (2) Simple delete. This involves just clearing an old matching leaf. The
+ metadata blocks don't change otherwise. The old leaf won't be freed until
+ after the RCU grace period.
+
+ (3) Insertion replacing part of a subtree that we haven't yet entered. This
+ may involve replacement of part of that subtree - but that won't affect
+ the iteration as we won't have reached the pointer to it yet and the
+ ancestry blocks are not replaced (the layout of those does not change).
+
+ (4) Insertion replacing nodes that we're actively processing. This isn't a
+ problem as we've passed the anchoring pointer and won't switch onto the
+ new layout until we follow the back pointers - at which point we've
+ already examined the leaves in the replaced node (we iterate over all the
+ leaves in a node before following any of its metadata pointers).
+
+ We might, however, re-see some leaves that have been split out into a new
+ branch that's in a slot further along than we were at.
+
+ (5) Insertion replacing nodes that we're processing a dependent branch of.
+ This won't affect us until we follow the back pointers. Similar to (4).
+
+ (6) Deletion collapsing a branch under us. This doesn't affect us because the
+ back pointers will get us back to the parent of the new node before we
+ could see the new node. The entire collapsed subtree is thrown away
+ unchanged - and will still be rooted on the same slot, so we shouldn't
+ process it a second time as we'll go back to slot + 1.
+
+Note:
+
+ (*) Under some circumstances, we need to simultaneously change the parent
+ pointer and the parent slot pointer on a node (say, for example, we
+ inserted another node before it and moved it up a level). We cannot do
+ this without locking against a read - so we have to replace that node too.
+
+ However, when we're changing a shortcut into a node this isn't a problem
+ as shortcuts only have one slot and so the parent slot number isn't used
+ when traversing backwards over one. This means that it's okay to change
+ the slot number first - provided suitable barriers are used to make sure
+ the parent slot number is read after the back pointer.
+
+Obsolete blocks and leaves are freed up after an RCU grace period has passed,
+so as long as anyone doing walking or iteration holds the RCU read lock, the
+old superstructure should not go away on them.

-VISUALIZATION
--------------
-
-If you want topology visualization, at least one mesh node must
-be configured as VIS-server:
-
-# echo "server" > /sys/class/net/bat0/mesh/vis_mode
-
-Each node is either configured as "server" or as "client" (de-
-fault: "client"). Clients send their topology data to the server
-next to them, and server synchronize with other servers. If there
-is no server configured (default) within the mesh, no topology
-information will be transmitted. With these "synchronizing
-servers", there can be 1 or more vis servers sharing the same (or
-at least very similar) data.
-
-When configured as server, you can get a topology snapshot of
-your mesh:
-
-# cat /sys/kernel/debug/batman_adv/bat0/vis_data
-
-This raw output is intended to be easily parsable and convertable
-with other tools. Have a look at the batctl README if you want a
-vis output in dot or json format for instance and how those out-
-puts could then be visualised in an image.
-
-The raw format consists of comma separated values per entry where
-each entry is giving information about a certain source inter-
-face. Each entry can/has to have the following values:
--> "mac" - mac address of an originator's source interface
- (each line begins with it)
--> "TQ mac value" - src mac's link quality towards mac address
- of a neighbor originator's interface which
- is being used for routing
--> "TT mac" - TT announced by source mac
--> "PRIMARY" - this is a primary interface
--> "SEC mac" - secondary mac address of source
- (requires preceding PRIMARY)
-
-The TQ value has a range from 4 to 255 with 255 being the best.
-The TT entries are showing which hosts are connected to the mesh
-via bat0 or being bridged into the mesh network. The PRIMARY/SEC
-values are only applied on primary interfaces

In order to receive such messages, CAN_RAW_RECV_OWN_MSGS must be set.
4.2 Broadcast Manager protocol sockets (SOCK_DGRAM)
+
+ The Broadcast Manager protocol provides a command based configuration
+ interface to filter and send (e.g. cyclic) CAN messages in kernel space.
+
+ Receive filters can be used to down sample frequent messages; detect events
+ such as message contents changes, packet length changes, and do time-out
+ monitoring of received messages.
+
+ Periodic transmission tasks of CAN frames or a sequence of CAN frames can be
+ created and modified at runtime; both the message content and the two
+ possible transmit intervals can be altered.
+
+ A BCM socket is not intended for sending individual CAN frames using the
+ struct can_frame as known from the CAN_RAW socket. Instead a special BCM
+ configuration message is defined. The basic BCM configuration message used
+ to communicate with the broadcast manager and the available operations are
+ defined in the linux/can/bcm.h include. The BCM message consists of a
+ message header with a command ('opcode') followed by zero or more CAN frames.
+ The broadcast manager sends responses to user space in the same form:
+
+ struct bcm_msg_head {
+ __u32 opcode; /* command */
+ __u32 flags; /* special flags */
+ __u32 count; /* run 'count' times with ival1 */
+ struct timeval ival1, ival2; /* count and subsequent interval */
+ canid_t can_id; /* unique can_id for task */
+ __u32 nframes; /* number of can_frames following */
+ struct can_frame frames[0];
+ };
+
+ The aligned payload 'frames' uses the same basic CAN frame structure defined
+ at the beginning of section 4 and in the include/linux/can.h include. All
+ messages to the broadcast manager from user space have this structure.
+
+ Note a CAN_BCM socket must be connected instead of bound after socket
+ creation (example without error checking):
+
+ int s;
+ struct sockaddr_can addr;
+ struct ifreq ifr;
+
+ s = socket(PF_CAN, SOCK_DGRAM, CAN_BCM);
+
+ strcpy(ifr.ifr_name, "can0");
+ ioctl(s, SIOCGIFINDEX, &ifr);
+
+ addr.can_family = AF_CAN;
+ addr.can_ifindex = ifr.ifr_ifindex;
+
+ connect(s, (struct sockaddr *)&addr, sizeof(addr))
+
+ (..)
+
+ The broadcast manager socket is able to handle any number of in flight
+ transmissions or receive filters concurrently. The different RX/TX jobs are
+ distinguished by the unique can_id in each BCM message. However additional
+ CAN_BCM sockets are recommended to communicate on multiple CAN interfaces.
+ When the broadcast manager socket is bound to 'any' CAN interface (=> the
+ interface index is set to zero) the configured receive filters apply to any
+ CAN interface unless the sendto() syscall is used to overrule the 'any' CAN
+ interface index. When using recvfrom() instead of read() to retrieve BCM
+ socket messages the originating CAN interface is provided in can_ifindex.
+
+ 4.2.1 Broadcast Manager operations
+
+ The opcode defines the operation for the broadcast manager to carry out,
+ or details the broadcast managers response to several events, including
+ user requests.
+
+ Transmit Operations (user space to broadcast manager):
+
+ TX_SETUP: Create (cyclic) transmission task.
+
+ TX_DELETE: Remove (cyclic) transmission task, requires only can_id.
+
+ TX_READ: Read properties of (cyclic) transmission task for can_id.
+
+ TX_SEND: Send one CAN frame.
+
+ Transmit Responses (broadcast manager to user space):
+
+ TX_STATUS: Reply to TX_READ request (transmission task configuration).
+
+ TX_EXPIRED: Notification when counter finishes sending at initial interval
+ 'ival1'. Requires the TX_COUNTEVT flag to be set at TX_SETUP.
+
+ Receive Operations (user space to broadcast manager):
+
+ RX_SETUP: Create RX content filter subscription.
+
+ RX_DELETE: Remove RX content filter subscription, requires only can_id.
+
+ RX_READ: Read properties of RX content filter subscription for can_id.
+
+ Receive Responses (broadcast manager to user space):
+
+ RX_STATUS: Reply to RX_READ request (filter task configuration).
+
+ RX_TIMEOUT: Cyclic message is detected to be absent (timer ival1 expired).
+
+ RX_CHANGED: BCM message with updated CAN frame (detected content change).
+ Sent on first message received or on receipt of revised CAN messages.
+
+ 4.2.2 Broadcast Manager message flags
+
+ When sending a message to the broadcast manager the 'flags' element may
+ contain the following flag definitions which influence the behaviour:
+
+ SETTIMER: Set the values of ival1, ival2 and count
+
+ STARTTIMER: Start the timer with the actual values of ival1, ival2
+ and count. Starting the timer leads simultaneously to emit a CAN frame.
+
+ TX_COUNTEVT: Create the message TX_EXPIRED when count expires
+
+ TX_ANNOUNCE: A change of data by the process is emitted immediately.
+
+ TX_CP_CAN_ID: Copies the can_id from the message header to each
+ subsequent frame in frames. This is intended as usage simplification. For
+ TX tasks the unique can_id from the message header may differ from the
+ can_id(s) stored for transmission in the subsequent struct can_frame(s).
+
+ RX_FILTER_ID: Filter by can_id alone, no frames required (nframes=0).
+
+ RX_CHECK_DLC: A change of the DLC leads to an RX_CHANGED.
+
+ RX_NO_AUTOTIMER: Prevent automatically starting the timeout monitor.
+
+ RX_ANNOUNCE_RESUME: If passed at RX_SETUP and a receive timeout occured, a
+ RX_CHANGED message will be generated when the (cyclic) receive restarts.
+
+ TX_RESET_MULTI_IDX: Reset the index for the multiple frame transmission.
+
+ RX_RTR_FRAME: Send reply for RTR-request (placed in op->frames[0]).
+
+ 4.2.3 Broadcast Manager transmission timers
+
+ Periodic transmission configurations may use up to two interval timers.
+ In this case the BCM sends a number of messages ('count') at an interval
+ 'ival1', then continuing to send at another given interval 'ival2'. When
+ only one timer is needed 'count' is set to zero and only 'ival2' is used.
+ When SET_TIMER and START_TIMER flag were set the timers are activated.
+ The timer values can be altered at runtime when only SET_TIMER is set.
+
+ 4.2.4 Broadcast Manager message sequence transmission
+
+ Up to 256 CAN frames can be transmitted in a sequence in the case of a cyclic
+ TX task configuration. The number of CAN frames is provided in the 'nframes'
+ element of the BCM message head. The defined number of CAN frames are added
+ as array to the TX_SETUP BCM configuration message.
+
+ /* create a struct to set up a sequence of four CAN frames */
+ struct {
+ struct bcm_msg_head msg_head;
+ struct can_frame frame[4];
+ } mytxmsg;
+
+ (..)
+ mytxmsg.nframes = 4;
+ (..)
+
+ write(s, &mytxmsg, sizeof(mytxmsg));
+
+ With every transmission the index in the array of CAN frames is increased
+ and set to zero at index overflow.
+
+ 4.2.5 Broadcast Manager receive filter timers
+
+ The timer values ival1 or ival2 may be set to non-zero values at RX_SETUP.
+ When the SET_TIMER flag is set the timers are enabled:
+
+ ival1: Send RX_TIMEOUT when a received message is not received again within
+ the given time. When START_TIMER is set at RX_SETUP the timeout detection
+ is activated directly - even without a former CAN frame reception.
+
+ ival2: Throttle the received message rate down to the value of ival2. This
+ is useful to reduce messages for the application when the signal inside the
+ CAN frame is stateless as state changes within the ival2 periode may get
+ lost.
+
+ 4.2.6 Broadcast Manager multiplex message receive filter
+
+ To filter for content changes in multiplex message sequences an array of more
+ than one CAN frames can be passed in a RX_SETUP configuration message. The
+ data bytes of the first CAN frame contain the mask of relevant bits that
+ have to match in the subsequent CAN frames with the received CAN frame.
+ If one of the subsequent CAN frames is matching the bits in that frame data
+ mark the relevant content to be compared with the previous received content.
+ Up to 257 CAN frames (multiplex filter bit mask CAN frame plus 256 CAN
+ filters) can be added as array to the TX_SETUP BCM configuration message.
+
+ /* usually used to clear CAN frame data[] - beware of endian problems! */
+ #define U64_DATA(p) (*(unsigned long long*)(p)->data)
+
+ struct {
+ struct bcm_msg_head msg_head;
+ struct can_frame frame[5];
+ } msg;
+
+ msg.msg_head.opcode = RX_SETUP;

+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:

+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.

+ IMA Template Management Mechanism
+
+
+==== INTRODUCTION ====
+
+The original 'ima' template is fixed length, containing the filedata hash
+and pathname. The filedata hash is limited to 20 bytes (md5/sha1).
+The pathname is a null terminated string, limited to 255 characters.
+To overcome these limitations and to add additional file metadata, it is
+necessary to extend the current version of IMA by defining additional
+templates. For example, information that could be possibly reported are
+the inode UID/GID or the LSM labels either of the inode and of the process
+that is accessing it.
+
+However, the main problem to introduce this feature is that, each time
+a new template is defined, the functions that generate and display
+the measurements list would include the code for handling a new format
+and, thus, would significantly grow over the time.
+
+The proposed solution solves this problem by separating the template
+management from the remaining IMA code. The core of this solution is the
+definition of two new data structures: a template descriptor, to determine
+which information should be included in the measurement list; a template
+field, to generate and display data of a given type.
+
+Managing templates with these structures is very simple. To support
+a new data type, developers define the field identifier and implement
+two functions, init() and show(), respectively to generate and display
+measurement entries. Defining a new template descriptor requires
+specifying the template format, a string of field identifiers separated
+by the '|' character. While in the current implementation it is possible
+to define new template descriptors only by adding their definition in the
+template specific code (ima_template.c), in a future version it will be
+possible to register a new template on a running kernel by supplying to IMA
+the desired format string. In this version, IMA initializes at boot time
+all defined template descriptors by translating the format into an array
+of template fields structures taken from the set of the supported ones.
+
+After the initialization step, IMA will call ima_alloc_init_template()
+(new function defined within the patches for the new template management
+mechanism) to generate a new measurement entry by using the template
+descriptor chosen through the kernel configuration or through the newly
+introduced 'ima_template=' kernel command line parameter. It is during this
+phase that the advantages of the new architecture are clearly shown:
+the latter function will not contain specific code to handle a given template
+but, instead, it simply calls the init() method of the template fields
+associated to the chosen template descriptor and store the result (pointer
+to allocated data and data length) in the measurement entry structure.
+
+The same mechanism is employed to display measurements entries.
+The functions ima[_ascii]_measurements_show() retrieve, for each entry,
+the template descriptor used to produce that entry and call the show()
+method for each item of the array of template fields structures.
+
+
+
+==== SUPPORTED TEMPLATE FIELDS AND DESCRIPTORS ====
+
+In the following, there is the list of supported template fields
+('<identifier>': description), that can be used to define new template
+descriptors by adding their identifier to the format string
+(support for more data types will be added later):
+
+ - 'd': the digest of the event (i.e. the digest of a measured file),
+ calculated with the SHA1 or MD5 hash algorithm;
+ - 'n': the name of the event (i.e. the file name), with size up to 255 bytes;
+ - 'd-ng': the digest of the event, calculated with an arbitrary hash
+ algorithm (field format: [<hash algo>:]digest, where the digest
+ prefix is shown only if the hash algorithm is not SHA1 or MD5);
+ - 'n-ng': the name of the event, without size limitations.
+
+
+Below, there is the list of defined template descriptors:
+ - "ima": its format is 'd|n';
+ - "ima-ng" (default): its format is 'd-ng|n-ng'.

+Split page table lock
+=====================
+
+Originally, mm->page_table_lock spinlock protected all page tables of the
+mm_struct. But this approach leads to poor page fault scalability of
+multi-threaded applications due high contention on the lock. To improve
+scalability, split page table lock was introduced.
+
+With split page table lock we have separate per-table lock to serialize
+access to the table. At the moment we use split lock for PTE and PMD
+tables. Access to higher level tables protected by mm->page_table_lock.
+
+There are helpers to lock/unlock a table and other accessor functions:
+ - pte_offset_map_lock()
+ maps pte and takes PTE table lock, returns pointer to the taken
+ lock;
+ - pte_unmap_unlock()
+ unlocks and unmaps PTE table;
+ - pte_alloc_map_lock()
+ allocates PTE table if needed and take the lock, returns pointer
+ to taken lock or NULL if allocation failed;
+ - pte_lockptr()
+ returns pointer to PTE table lock;
+ - pmd_lock()
+ takes PMD table lock, returns pointer to taken lock;
+ - pmd_lockptr()
+ returns pointer to PMD table lock;
+
+Split page table lock for PTE tables is enabled compile-time if
+CONFIG_SPLIT_PTLOCK_CPUS (usually 4) is less or equal to NR_CPUS.
+If split lock is disabled, all tables guaded by mm->page_table_lock.
+
+Split page table lock for PMD tables is enabled, if it's enabled for PTE
+tables and the architecture supports it (see below).
+
+Hugetlb and split page table lock
+---------------------------------
+
+Hugetlb can support several page sizes. We use split lock only for PMD
+level, but not for PUD.
+
+Hugetlb-specific helpers:
+ - huge_pte_lock()
+ takes pmd split lock for PMD_SIZE page, mm->page_table_lock
+ otherwise;
+ - huge_pte_lockptr()
+ returns pointer to table lock;
+
+Support of split page table lock by an architecture
+---------------------------------------------------
+
+There's no need in special enabling of PTE split page table lock:
+everything required is done by pgtable_page_ctor() and pgtable_page_dtor(),
+which must be called on PTE table allocation / freeing.
+
+Make sure the architecture doesn't use slab allocator for page table
+allocation: slab uses page->slab_cache and page->first_page for its pages.
+These fields share storage with page->ptl.
+
+PMD split lock only makes sense if you have more than two page table
+levels.
+
+PMD split lock enabling requires pgtable_pmd_page_ctor() call on PMD table
+allocation and pgtable_pmd_page_dtor() on freeing.
+
+Allocation usually happens in pmd_alloc_one(), freeing in pmd_free() and
+pmd_free_tlb(), but make sure you cover all PMD table allocation / freeing
+paths: i.e X86_PAE preallocate few PMDs on pgd_alloc().
+
+With everything in place you can set CONFIG_ARCH_ENABLE_SPLIT_PMD_PTLOCK.
+
+NOTE: pgtable_page_ctor() and pgtable_pmd_page_ctor() can fail -- it must
+be handled properly.
+
+page->ptl
+---------
+
+page->ptl is used to access split page table lock, where 'page' is struct
+page of page containing the table. It shares storage with page->private
+(and few other fields in union).
+
+To avoid increasing size of struct page and have best performance, we use a
+trick:
+ - if spinlock_t fits into long, we use page->ptr as spinlock, so we
+ can avoid indirect access and save a cache line.
+ - if size of spinlock_t is bigger then size of long, we use page->ptl as
+ pointer to spinlock_t and allocate it dynamically. This allows to use
+ split lock with enabled DEBUG_SPINLOCK or DEBUG_LOCK_ALLOC, but costs
+ one more cache line for indirect access;
+
+The spinlock_t allocated in pgtable_page_ctor() for PTE table and in
+pgtable_pmd_page_ctor() for PMD table.
+
+Please, never access page->ptl directly -- use appropriate helper.
