+ How to mount the root file system in uClinux/Blackfin
+ -----------------------------------------------------
+
+1 Mounting EXT3 File system.
+ ------------------------
+
+ Creating an EXT3 File system for uClinux/Blackfin:
+
+
+Please follow the steps to form the EXT3 File system and mount the same as root
+file system.
+
+a Make an ext3 file system as large as you want the final root file
+ system.
+
+ mkfs.ext3 /dev/ram0 <your-rootfs-size-in-1k-blocks>
+
+b Mount this Empty file system on a free directory as:
+
+ mount -t ext3 /dev/ram0 ./test
+ where ./test is the empty directory.
+
+c Copy your root fs directory that you have so carefully made over.
+
+ cp -af /tmp/my_final_rootfs_files/* ./test
+
+ (For ex: cp -af uClinux-dist/romfs/* ./test)
+
+d If you have done everything right till now you should be able to see
+ the required "root" dir's (that's etc, root, bin, lib, sbin...)
+
+e Now unmount the file system
+
+ umount ./test
+
+f Create the root file system image.
+
+ dd if=/dev/ram0 bs=1k count=<your-rootfs-size-in-1k-blocks> \
+ > ext3fs.img
+
+
+Now you have to tell the kernel that will be mounting this file system as
+rootfs.
+So do a make menuconfig under kernel and select the Ext3 journaling file system
+support under File system --> submenu.
+
+
+2. Mounting EXT2 File system.
+ -------------------------
+
+By default the ext2 file system image will be created if you invoke make from
+the top uClinux-dist directory.
+
+
+3. Mounting CRAMFS File System
+ ----------------------------
+
+To create a CRAMFS file system image execute the command
+
+ mkfs.cramfs ./test cramfs.img
+
+ where ./test is the target directory.
+
+
+4. Mounting ROMFS File System
+ --------------------------
+
+To create a ROMFS file system image execute the command
+
+ genromfs -v -V "ROMdisk" -f romfs.img -d ./test
+
+ where ./test is the target directory
+
+
+5. Mounting the JFFS2 Filesystem
+ -----------------------------
+
+To create a compressed JFFS filesystem (JFFS2), please execute the command
+
+ mkfs.jffs2 -d ./test -o jffs2.img
+
+ where ./test is the target directory.
+
+However, please make sure the following is in your kernel config.
+
+/*
+ * RAM/ROM/Flash chip drivers
+ */
+#define CONFIG_MTD_CFI 1
+#define CONFIG_MTD_ROM 1
+/*
+ * Mapping drivers for chip access
+ */
+#define CONFIG_MTD_COMPLEX_MAPPINGS 1
+#define CONFIG_MTD_BF533 1
+#undef CONFIG_MTD_UCLINUX
+
+Through the u-boot boot loader, use the jffs2.img in the corresponding
+partition made in linux-2.6.x/drivers/mtd/maps/bf533_flash.c.
+
+NOTE - Currently the Flash driver is available only for EZKIT. Watch out for a
+ STAMP driver soon.
+
+
+6. Mounting the NFS File system
+ -----------------------------
+
+ For mounting the NFS please do the following in the kernel config.
+
+ In Networking Support --> Networking options --> TCP/IP networking -->
+ IP: kernel level autoconfiguration
+
+ Enable BOOTP Support.
+
+ In Kernel hacking --> Compiled-in kernel boot parameter add the following
+
+ root=/dev/nfs rw ip=bootp
+
+ In File system --> Network File system, Enable
+
+ NFS file system support --> NFSv3 client support
+ Root File system on NFS
+
+ in uClibc menuconfig, do the following
+ In Networking Support
+ enable Remote Procedure Call (RPC) support
+ Full RPC Support
+
+ On the Host side, ensure that /etc/dhcpd.conf looks something like this
+
+ ddns-update-style ad-hoc;
+ allow bootp;
+ subnet 10.100.4.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
+ default-lease-time 122209600;
+ max-lease-time 31557600;
+ group {
+ host bf533 {
+ hardware ethernet 00:CF:52:49:C3:01;
+ fixed-address 10.100.4.50;
+ option root-path "/home/nfsmount";
+ }
+ }
+
+ ensure that /etc/exports looks something like this
+ /home/nfsmount *(rw,no_root_squash,no_all_squash)
+
+ run the following commands as root (may differ depending on your
+ distribution) :
+ - service nfs start
+ - service portmap start
+ - service dhcpd start
+ - /usr/sbin/exportfs

+
+How to lock your code in cache in uClinux/blackfin
+--------------------------------------------------
+
+There are only a few steps required to lock your code into the cache.
+Currently you can lock the code by Way.
+
+Below are the interface provided for locking the cache.
+
+
+1. cache_grab_lock(int Ways);
+
+This function grab the lock for locking your code into the cache specified
+by Ways.
+
+
+2. cache_lock(int Ways);
+
+This function should be called after your critical code has been executed.
+Once the critical code exits, the code is now loaded into the cache. This
+function locks the code into the cache.
+
+
+So, the example sequence will be:
+
+ cache_grab_lock(WAY0_L); /* Grab the lock */
+
+ critical_code(); /* Execute the code of interest */
+
+ cache_lock(WAY0_L); /* Lock the cache */
+
+Where WAY0_L signifies WAY0 locking.

+prod_id_hash[0] prod_id_hash[1] prod_id_hash[2] prod_id_hash[3]" > \
+/sys/bus/pcmcia/drivers/{driver}/new_id
+
+All fields are passed in as hexadecimal values (no leading 0x).
+The meaning is described in the PCMCIA specification, the match_flags is
+a bitwise or-ed combination from PCMCIA_DEV_ID_MATCH_* constants
+defined in include/linux/mod_devicetable.h.
+
+Once added, the driver probe routine will be invoked for any unclaimed
+PCMCIA device listed in its (newly updated) pcmcia_device_id list.
+
+A common use-case is to add a new device according to the manufacturer ID
+and the card ID (form the manf_id and card_id file in the device tree).
+For this, just use:
+
+echo "0x3 manf_id card_id 0 0 0 0 0 0 0" > \
+ /sys/bus/pcmcia/drivers/{driver}/new_id
+
+after loading the driver.

+Short users guide for SLUB
+--------------------------
+
+First of all slub should transparently replace SLAB. If you enable
+SLUB then everything should work the same (Note the word "should".
+There is likely not much value in that word at this point).
+
+The basic philosophy of SLUB is very different from SLAB. SLAB
+requires rebuilding the kernel to activate debug options for all
+SLABS. SLUB always includes full debugging but its off by default.
+SLUB can enable debugging only for selected slabs in order to avoid
+an impact on overall system performance which may make a bug more
+difficult to find.
+
+In order to switch debugging on one can add a option "slub_debug"
+to the kernel command line. That will enable full debugging for
+all slabs.
+
+Typically one would then use the "slabinfo" command to get statistical
+data and perform operation on the slabs. By default slabinfo only lists
+slabs that have data in them. See "slabinfo -h" for more options when
+running the command. slabinfo can be compiled with
+
+gcc -o slabinfo Documentation/vm/slabinfo.c
+
+Some of the modes of operation of slabinfo require that slub debugging
+be enabled on the command line. F.e. no tracking information will be
+available without debugging on and validation can only partially
+be performed if debugging was not switched on.
+
+Some more sophisticated uses of slub_debug:
+-------------------------------------------
+
+Parameters may be given to slub_debug. If none is specified then full
+debugging is enabled. Format:
+
+slub_debug=<Debug-Options> Enable options for all slabs
+slub_debug=<Debug-Options>,<slab name>
+ Enable options only for select slabs
+
+Possible debug options are
+ F Sanity checks on (enables SLAB_DEBUG_FREE. Sorry
+ SLAB legacy issues)
+ Z Red zoning
+ P Poisoning (object and padding)
+ U User tracking (free and alloc)
+ T Trace (please only use on single slabs)
+
+F.e. in order to boot just with sanity checks and red zoning one would specify:
+
+ slub_debug=FZ
+
+Trying to find an issue in the dentry cache? Try
+
+ slub_debug=,dentry_cache
+
+to only enable debugging on the dentry cache.
+
+Red zoning and tracking may realign the slab. We can just apply sanity checks
+to the dentry cache with
+
+ slub_debug=F,dentry_cache
+
+In case you forgot to enable debugging on the kernel command line: It is
+possible to enable debugging manually when the kernel is up. Look at the
+contents of:
+
+/sys/slab/<slab name>/
+
+Look at the writable files. Writing 1 to them will enable the
+corresponding debug option. All options can be set on a slab that does
+not contain objects. If the slab already contains objects then sanity checks
+and tracing may only be enabled. The other options may cause the realignment
+of objects.
+
+Careful with tracing: It may spew out lots of information and never stop if
+used on the wrong slab.
+
+SLAB Merging
+------------
+
+If no debugging is specified then SLUB may merge similar slabs together
+in order to reduce overhead and increase cache hotness of objects.
+slabinfo -a displays which slabs were merged together.
+
+Getting more performance
+------------------------
+
+To some degree SLUB's performance is limited by the need to take the
+list_lock once in a while to deal with partial slabs. That overhead is
+governed by the order of the allocation for each slab. The allocations
+can be influenced by kernel parameters:
+
+slub_min_objects=x (default 8)
+slub_min_order=x (default 0)
+slub_max_order=x (default 4)
+
+slub_min_objects allows to specify how many objects must at least fit
+into one slab in order for the allocation order to be acceptable.
+In general slub will be able to perform this number of allocations
+on a slab without consulting centralized resources (list_lock) where
+contention may occur.
+
+slub_min_order specifies a minim order of slabs. A similar effect like
+slub_min_objects.
+
+slub_max_order specified the order at which slub_min_objects should no
+longer be checked. This is useful to avoid SLUB trying to generate
+super large order pages to fit slub_min_objects of a slab cache with
+large object sizes into one high order page.
