+Part III - Debug drivers use of the DMA-API
+-------------------------------------------
+
+The DMA-API as described above as some constraints. DMA addresses must be
+released with the corresponding function with the same size for example. With
+the advent of hardware IOMMUs it becomes more and more important that drivers
+do not violate those constraints. In the worst case such a violation can
+result in data corruption up to destroyed filesystems.
+
+To debug drivers and find bugs in the usage of the DMA-API checking code can
+be compiled into the kernel which will tell the developer about those
+violations. If your architecture supports it you can select the "Enable
+debugging of DMA-API usage" option in your kernel configuration. Enabling this
+option has a performance impact. Do not enable it in production kernels.
+
+If you boot the resulting kernel will contain code which does some bookkeeping
+about what DMA memory was allocated for which device. If this code detects an
+error it prints a warning message with some details into your kernel log. An
+example warning message may look like this:

+The driver developer can find the driver and the device including a stacktrace
+of the DMA-API call which caused this warning.
+
+Per default only the first error will result in a warning message. All other
+errors will only silently counted. This limitation exist to prevent the code
+from flooding your kernel log. To support debugging a device driver this can
+be disabled via debugfs. See the debugfs interface documentation below for
+details.
+
+The debugfs directory for the DMA-API debugging code is called dma-api/. In
+this directory the following files can currently be found:
+
+ dma-api/all_errors This file contains a numeric value. If this
+ value is not equal to zero the debugging code
+ will print a warning for every error it finds
+ into the kernel log. Be carefull with this
+ option. It can easily flood your logs.
+
+ dma-api/disabled This read-only file contains the character 'Y'
+ if the debugging code is disabled. This can
+ happen when it runs out of memory or if it was
+ disabled at boot time
+
+ dma-api/error_count This file is read-only and shows the total
+ numbers of errors found.
+
+ dma-api/num_errors The number in this file shows how many
+ warnings will be printed to the kernel log
+ before it stops. This number is initialized to
+ one at system boot and be set by writing into
+ this file
+
+ dma-api/min_free_entries
+ This read-only file can be read to get the
+ minimum number of free dma_debug_entries the
+ allocator has ever seen. If this value goes
+ down to zero the code will disable itself
+ because it is not longer reliable.
+
+ dma-api/num_free_entries
+ The current number of free dma_debug_entries
+ in the allocator.
+
+If you have this code compiled into your kernel it will be enabled by default.
+If you want to boot without the bookkeeping anyway you can provide
+'dma_debug=off' as a boot parameter. This will disable DMA-API debugging.
+Notice that you can not enable it again at runtime. You have to reboot to do
+so.
+
+When the code disables itself at runtime this is most likely because it ran
+out of dma_debug_entries. These entries are preallocated at boot. The number
+of preallocated entries is defined per architecture. If it is too low for you
+boot with 'dma_debug_entries=<your_desired_number>' to overwrite the
+architectural default.

+You will often find that your labeled application has to talk to the outside,
+unlabeled world. To do this there's a special file /smack/netlabel where you can
+add some exceptions in the form of :
+@IP1 LABEL1 or
+@IP2/MASK LABEL2

+video buffer helper functions
+-----------------------------
+
+The v4l2 core API provides a standard method for dealing with video
+buffers. Those methods allow a driver to implement read(), mmap() and
+overlay() on a consistent way.
+
+There are currently methods for using video buffers on devices that
+supports DMA with scatter/gather method (videobuf-dma-sg), DMA with
+linear access (videobuf-dma-contig), and vmalloced buffers, mostly
+used on USB drivers (videobuf-vmalloc).
+
+Any driver using videobuf should provide operations (callbacks) for
+four handlers:
+
+ops->buf_setup - calculates the size of the video buffers and avoid they
+ to waste more than some maximum limit of RAM;
+ops->buf_prepare - fills the video buffer structs and calls
+ videobuf_iolock() to alloc and prepare mmaped memory;
+ops->buf_queue - advices the driver that another buffer were
+ requested (by read() or by QBUF);
+ops->buf_release - frees any buffer that were allocated.
+
+In order to use it, the driver need to have a code (generally called at
+interrupt context) that will properly handle the buffer request lists,
+announcing that a new buffer were filled.
+
+The irq handling code should handle the videobuf task lists, in order
+to advice videobuf that a new frame were filled, in order to honor to a
+request. The code is generally like this one:
+ if (list_empty(&dma_q->active))
+ return;
+
+ buf = list_entry(dma_q->active.next, struct vbuffer, vb.queue);
+
+ if (!waitqueue_active(&buf->vb.done))
+ return;
+
+ /* Some logic to handle the buf may be needed here */
+
+ list_del(&buf->vb.queue);
+ do_gettimeofday(&buf->vb.ts);
+ wake_up(&buf->vb.done);
+
+Those are the videobuffer functions used on drivers, implemented on
+videobuf-core:
+
+- Videobuf init functions
+ videobuf_queue_sg_init()
+ Initializes the videobuf infrastructure. This function should be
+ called before any other videobuf function on drivers that uses DMA
+ Scatter/Gather buffers.
+
+ videobuf_queue_dma_contig_init
+ Initializes the videobuf infrastructure. This function should be
+ called before any other videobuf function on drivers that need DMA
+ contiguous buffers.
+
+ videobuf_queue_vmalloc_init()
+ Initializes the videobuf infrastructure. This function should be
+ called before any other videobuf function on USB (and other drivers)
+ that need a vmalloced type of videobuf.
+
+- videobuf_iolock()
+ Prepares the videobuf memory for the proper method (read, mmap, overlay).
+
+- videobuf_queue_is_busy()
+ Checks if a videobuf is streaming.
+
+- videobuf_queue_cancel()
+ Stops video handling.
+
+- videobuf_mmap_free()
+ frees mmap buffers.
+
+- videobuf_stop()
+ Stops video handling, ends mmap and frees mmap and other buffers.
+
+- V4L2 api functions. Those functions correspond to VIDIOC_foo ioctls:
+ videobuf_reqbufs(), videobuf_querybuf(), videobuf_qbuf(),
+ videobuf_dqbuf(), videobuf_streamon(), videobuf_streamoff().
+
+- V4L1 api function (corresponds to VIDIOCMBUF ioctl):
+ videobuf_cgmbuf()
+ This function is used to provide backward compatibility with V4L1
+ API.
+
+- Some help functions for read()/poll() operations:
+ videobuf_read_stream()
+ For continuous stream read()
+ videobuf_read_one()
+ For snapshot read()
+ videobuf_poll_stream()
+ polling help function
+
+The better way to understand it is to take a look at vivi driver. One
+of the main reasons for vivi is to be a videobuf usage example. the
+vivi_thread_tick() does the task that the IRQ callback would do on PCI
+drivers (or the irq callback on USB).

+Mini-HOWTO for using the earlyprintk=dbgp boot option with a
+USB2 Debug port key and a debug cable, on x86 systems.
+
+You need two computers, the 'USB debug key' special gadget and
+and two USB cables, connected like this:
+
+ [host/target] <-------> [USB debug key] <-------> [client/console]
+
+1. There are three specific hardware requirements:
+
+ a.) Host/target system needs to have USB debug port capability.
+
+ You can check this capability by looking at a 'Debug port' bit in
+ the lspci -vvv output:
+
+ # lspci -vvv
+ ...

+ Kernel modules: ehci-hcd

+
+( If your system does not list a debug port capability then you probably
+ wont be able to use the USB debug key. )
+
+ b.) You also need a Netchip USB debug cable/key:
+
+ http://www.plxtech.com/products/NET2000/NET20DC/default.asp
+
+ This is a small blue plastic connector with two USB connections,
+ it draws power from its USB connections.
+
+ c.) Thirdly, you need a second client/console system with a regular USB port.
+
+2. Software requirements:
+
+ a.) On the host/target system:
+
+ You need to enable the following kernel config option:
+
+ CONFIG_EARLY_PRINTK_DBGP=y
+
+ And you need to add the boot command line: "earlyprintk=dbgp".
+ (If you are using Grub, append it to the 'kernel' line in
+ /etc/grub.conf)
+
+ NOTE: normally earlyprintk console gets turned off once the
+ regular console is alive - use "earlyprintk=dbgp,keep" to keep
+ this channel open beyond early bootup. This can be useful for
+ debugging crashes under Xorg, etc.
+
+ b.) On the client/console system:
+
+ You should enable the following kernel config option:
+
+ CONFIG_USB_SERIAL_DEBUG=y
+
+ On the next bootup with the modified kernel you should
+ get a /dev/ttyUSBx device(s).
+
+ Now this channel of kernel messages is ready to be used: start
+ your favorite terminal emulator (minicom, etc.) and set
+ it up to use /dev/ttyUSB0 - or use a raw 'cat /dev/ttyUSBx' to
+ see the raw output.
+
+ c.) On Nvidia Southbridge based systems: the kernel will try to probe
+ and find out which port has debug device connected.
+
+3. Testing that it works fine:
+
+ You can test the output by using earlyprintk=dbgp,keep and provoking
+ kernel messages on the host/target system. You can provoke a harmless
+ kernel message by for example doing:
+
+ echo h > /proc/sysrq-trigger
+
+ On the host/target system you should see this help line in "dmesg" output:
+
+ SysRq : HELP : loglevel(0-9) reBoot Crashdump terminate-all-tasks(E) memory-full-oom-kill(F) kill-all-tasks(I) saK show-backtrace-all-active-cpus(L) show-memory-usage(M) nice-all-RT-tasks(N) powerOff show-registers(P) show-all-timers(Q) unRaw Sync show-task-states(T) Unmount show-blocked-tasks(W) dump-ftrace-buffer(Z)
+
+ On the client/console system do:
+
+ cat /dev/ttyUSB0
+
+ And you should see the help line above displayed shortly after you've
+ provoked it on the host system.
+
+If it does not work then please ask about it on the linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org
+mailing list or contact the x86 maintainers.
