- This guide describes the use of the procfs file system from
- within the Linux kernel. The idea to write this guide came up on
- the #kernelnewbies IRC channel (see <ulink
- url="http://www.kernelnewbies.org/">http://www.kernelnewbies.org/</ulink>),
- when Jeff Garzik explained the use of procfs and forwarded me a
- message Alexander Viro wrote to the linux-kernel mailing list. I
- agreed to write it up nicely, so here it is.

- (procfs) is a special file system in the linux kernel. It's a
- virtual file system: it is not associated with a block device
- but exists only in memory. The files in the procfs are there to
- allow userland programs access to certain information from the
- kernel (like process information in <filename
- class="directory">/proc/[0-9]+/</filename>), but also for debug
- purposes (like <filename>/proc/ksyms</filename>).
- </para>
-
- <para>
- This guide describes the use of the procfs file system from
- within the Linux kernel. It starts by introducing all relevant
- functions to manage the files within the file system. After that
- it shows how to communicate with userland, and some tips and
- tricks will be pointed out. Finally a complete example will be
- shown.
- </para>
-
- <para>
- Note that the files in <filename
- class="directory">/proc/sys</filename> are sysctl files: they
- don't belong to procfs and are governed by a completely
- different API described in the Kernel API book.

- <title>A single call back for many files</title>
-
- <para>
- When a large number of almost identical files is used, it's
- quite inconvenient to use a separate call back function for
- each file. A better approach is to have a single call back
- function that distinguishes between the files by using the
- <structfield>data</structfield> field in <structname>struct
- proc_dir_entry</structname>. First of all, the
- <structfield>data</structfield> field has to be initialised:
- </para>
-
- <programlisting>
-struct proc_dir_entry* entry;
-struct my_file_data *file_data;
-
-file_data = kmalloc(sizeof(struct my_file_data), GFP_KERNEL);
-entry->data = file_data;
- </programlisting>
-
- <para>
- The <structfield>data</structfield> field is a <type>void
- *</type>, so it can be initialised with anything.
- </para>
-
- <para>
- Now that the <structfield>data</structfield> field is set, the
- <function>read_proc</function> and
- <function>write_proc</function> can use it to distinguish
- between files because they get it passed into their
- <parameter>data</parameter> parameter:

+The ad525x_dpot driver exports a simple sysfs interface. This allows you to

+settings. Access to the factory programmed tolerance is also provided, but
+interpretation of this settings is required by the end application according to
+the specific part in use.
+
+---------
+ Files
+---------
+
+Each dpot device will have a set of eeprom, rdac, and tolerance files. How
+many depends on the actual part you have, as will the range of allowed values.
+
+The eeprom files are used to program the startup value of the device.
+
+The rdac files are used to program the immediate value of the device.
+
+The tolerance files are the read-only factory programmed tolerance settings
+and may vary greatly on a part-by-part basis. For exact interpretation of
+this field, please consult the datasheet for your part. This is presented
+as a hex file for easier parsing.
+

+ Example
+-----------
+

+
+ # ls /sys/bus/i2c/devices/

+
+So assuming the device in question is on the first i2c bus and has the slave

+
+ # ls /sys/bus/i2c/devices/0-002f/

+
+You can use simple reads/writes to access these files:

+
+ In the MMU case this can be achieved with reasonable performance as

+ to cleared physical pages when a write happens on that specific page
+ (prior to which, the pages are effectively mapped to the global zero page

+
+ In the no-MMU case, however, anonymous mappings are backed by physical

+ significant delays during a userspace malloc() as the C library does an
+ anonymous mapping and the kernel then does a memset for the entire map.
+
+ However, for memory that isn't required to be precleared - such as that
+ returned by malloc() - mmap() can take a MAP_UNINITIALIZED flag to
+ indicate to the kernel that it shouldn't bother clearing the memory before
+ returning it. Note that CONFIG_MMAP_ALLOW_UNINITIALIZED must be enabled

+Interaction of Task Memory Policy with Huge Page Allocation/Freeing
+
+Whether huge pages are allocated and freed via the /proc interface or
+the /sysfs interface using the nr_hugepages_mempolicy attribute, the NUMA
+nodes from which huge pages are allocated or freed are controlled by the
+NUMA memory policy of the task that modifies the nr_hugepages_mempolicy
+sysctl or attribute. When the nr_hugepages attribute is used, mempolicy
+is ignored.
+
+The recommended method to allocate or free huge pages to/from the kernel
+huge page pool, using the nr_hugepages example above, is:
+
+ numactl --interleave <node-list> echo 20 \
+ >/proc/sys/vm/nr_hugepages_mempolicy
+
+or, more succinctly:
+
+ numactl -m <node-list> echo 20 >/proc/sys/vm/nr_hugepages_mempolicy
+
+This will allocate or free abs(20 - nr_hugepages) to or from the nodes
+specified in <node-list>, depending on whether number of persistent huge pages
+is initially less than or greater than 20, respectively. No huge pages will be
+allocated nor freed on any node not included in the specified <node-list>.
+
+When adjusting the persistent hugepage count via nr_hugepages_mempolicy, any
+memory policy mode--bind, preferred, local or interleave--may be used. The
+resulting effect on persistent huge page allocation is as follows:
+
+1) Regardless of mempolicy mode [see Documentation/vm/numa_memory_policy.txt],
+ persistent huge pages will be distributed across the node or nodes
+ specified in the mempolicy as if "interleave" had been specified.
+ However, if a node in the policy does not contain sufficient contiguous
+ memory for a huge page, the allocation will not "fallback" to the nearest
+ neighbor node with sufficient contiguous memory. To do this would cause
+ undesirable imbalance in the distribution of the huge page pool, or
+ possibly, allocation of persistent huge pages on nodes not allowed by
+ the task's memory policy.
+
+2) One or more nodes may be specified with the bind or interleave policy.
+ If more than one node is specified with the preferred policy, only the
+ lowest numeric id will be used. Local policy will select the node where
+ the task is running at the time the nodes_allowed mask is constructed.
+ For local policy to be deterministic, the task must be bound to a cpu or
+ cpus in a single node. Otherwise, the task could be migrated to some
+ other node at any time after launch and the resulting node will be
+ indeterminate. Thus, local policy is not very useful for this purpose.
+ Any of the other mempolicy modes may be used to specify a single node.
+
+3) The nodes allowed mask will be derived from any non-default task mempolicy,
+ whether this policy was set explicitly by the task itself or one of its
+ ancestors, such as numactl. This means that if the task is invoked from a
+ shell with non-default policy, that policy will be used. One can specify a
+ node list of "all" with numactl --interleave or --membind [-m] to achieve
+ interleaving over all nodes in the system or cpuset.
+
+4) Any task mempolicy specifed--e.g., using numactl--will be constrained by
+ the resource limits of any cpuset in which the task runs. Thus, there will
+ be no way for a task with non-default policy running in a cpuset with a
+ subset of the system nodes to allocate huge pages outside the cpuset
+ without first moving to a cpuset that contains all of the desired nodes.
+
+5) Boot-time huge page allocation attempts to distribute the requested number
+ of huge pages over all on-lines nodes with memory.
+
+Per Node Hugepages Attributes
+
+A subset of the contents of the root huge page control directory in sysfs,
+described above, will be replicated under each the system device of each
+NUMA node with memory in:
+
+ /sys/devices/system/node/node[0-9]*/hugepages/
+
+Under this directory, the subdirectory for each supported huge page size
+contains the following attribute files:
+
+ nr_hugepages
+ free_hugepages
+ surplus_hugepages
+
+The free_' and surplus_' attribute files are read-only. They return the number
+of free and surplus [overcommitted] huge pages, respectively, on the parent
+node.
+
+The nr_hugepages attribute returns the total number of huge pages on the
+specified node. When this attribute is written, the number of persistent huge
+pages on the parent node will be adjusted to the specified value, if sufficient
+resources exist, regardless of the task's mempolicy or cpuset constraints.
+
+Note that the number of overcommit and reserve pages remain global quantities,
+as we don't know until fault time, when the faulting task's mempolicy is
+applied, from which node the huge page allocation will be attempted.
