What: /sys/firmware/memmap/
Date: June 2008
Contact: Bernhard Walle <bwalle@suse.de>
Description:
On all platforms, the firmware provides a memory map which the
kernel reads. The resources from that memory map are registered
in the kernel resource tree and exposed to userspace via
/proc/iomem (together with other resources).

However, on most architectures that firmware-provided memory
map is modified afterwards by the kernel itself, either because
the kernel merges that memory map with other information or
just because the user overwrites that memory map via command
line.

kexec needs the raw firmware-provided memory map to setup the
parameter segment of the kernel that should be booted with
kexec. Also, the raw memory map is useful for debugging. For
that reason, /sys/firmware/memmap is an interface that provides
the raw memory map to userspace.

The structure is as follows: Under /sys/firmware/memmap there
are subdirectories with the number of the entry as their name:

/sys/firmware/memmap/0
/sys/firmware/memmap/1
/sys/firmware/memmap/2
/sys/firmware/memmap/3
...

The maximum depends on the number of memory map entries provided
by the firmware. The order is just the order that the firmware
provides.

Each directory contains three files:

start : The start address (as hexadecimal number with the
'0x' prefix).
end : The end address, inclusive (regardless whether the
firmware provides inclusive or exclusive ranges).
type : Type of the entry as string. See below for a list of
valid types.

So, for example:

/sys/firmware/memmap/0/start
/sys/firmware/memmap/0/end
/sys/firmware/memmap/0/type
/sys/firmware/memmap/1/start
...

Currently following types exist:

- System RAM
- ACPI Tables
- ACPI Non-volatile Storage
- reserved

Following shell snippet can be used to display that memory
map in a human-readable format:

-------------------- 8< ----------------------------------------
#!/bin/bash
cd /sys/firmware/memmap
for dir in * ; do
start=$(cat $dir/start)
end=$(cat $dir/end)
type=$(cat $dir/type)
printf "%016x-%016x (%s)\n" $start $[ $end +1] "$type"
done

ChangeLog:

SMP IRQ affinity, started by Ingo Molnar <mingo@redhat.com>

SMP IRQ affinity

/proc/irq/IRQ#/smp_affinity specifies which target CPUs are permitted
for a given IRQ source. It's a bitmask of allowed CPUs. It's not allowed
to turn off all CPUs, and if an IRQ controller does not support IRQ
affinity then the value will not change from the default 0xffffffff.

/proc/irq/default_smp_affinity specifies default affinity mask that applies
to all non-active IRQs. Once IRQ is allocated/activated its affinity bitmask
will be set to the default mask. It can then be changed as described above.
Default mask is 0xffffffff.

Here is an example of restricting IRQ44 (eth1) to CPU0-3 then restricting
the IRQ to CPU4-7 (this is an 8-CPU SMP box):
it to CPU4-7 (this is an 8-CPU SMP box):

[root@moon 44]# cd /proc/irq/44
[root@moon 44]# cat smp_affinity
ffffffff

As can be seen from the line above IRQ44 was delivered only to the first four
processors (0-3).
Now lets restrict that IRQ to CPU(4-7).

This time around IRQ44 was delivered only to the last four processors.
i.e counters for the CPU0-3 did not change.
