From 4352b8aee98005853aa63f57d6377282de17a33f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Linus Torvalds Date: Sun, 23 Aug 2026 13:28:57 -0700 Subject: Merge tag 'i3c/for-7.3' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/i3c/linux Pull I3C updates from Alexandre Belloni: "A new driver this cycle, for the AMD AXI I3C controller. There are also new features such as IBI wakeup support, SETAASA device discovery and ACPI support for the the DAA methods, meaning we can now communicate with the SPD devices on DDR5 modules. New driver: - AMD AXI I3C master controller Subsystem: - I3C Common Command Code (CCC) handling improvements, especially around GET CCCs - SETAASA device discovery support - ACPI support for all existing DAA methods like SETDASA, SETNEWDA as well as I2C devices on I3C bus - IBI-based wakeup support Drivers: - dw: SETAASA support - mipi-i3c-hci: advertise IBI wakeup capability, AMD_PT I3C controller support, PIO queue management support for HCI v1.2 - renesas: improve suspend to RAM support, add runtime PM support" * tag 'i3c/for-7.3' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/i3c/linux: (70 commits) i3c: dw: reduce do_daa time if there's no client i3c: mipi-i3c-hci: Add support for AMD_PT I3C controller i3c: mipi-i3c-hci: Add PIO queue management support for HCI v1.2 i3c: mipi-i3c-hci: Fix missing STAT_IBI_STATUS_THLD in PIO mode i3c: dw: rename "pclk" to "apb" to match dt-binding i3c: dw: make struct dw_i3c_cmd smaller i3c: dw: use COMMAND_PORT_TRANSFER_ARG instead of hardcoding i3c: renesas: Don't register devices when ENTDAA times out i3c: master: dw-i3c-master: fix OD timing for first broadcast i3c: mipi-i3c-hci: Advertise IBI wakeup capability i3c: mipi-i3c-hci: Factor out i3c_hci_sysdev() i3c: mipi-i3c-hci-pci: Propagate I3C wakeup requirements to PCI i3c: master: Reject IBI requests from non-IBI-capable devices i3c: master: Add helper to query bus wakeup requirements i3c: master: Report wakeup events for IBIs i3c: master: Support IBI-based wakeup capability i3c: master: Fix potential UAF in i3c_device_match() i3c: master: Fix potential UAF in i3c_device_uevent() i3c: Make dev->desc locking assumptions explicit i3c: master: Fix use-after-free of master->this ... --- Documentation/trace/ring-buffer-map.rst | 106 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 1 file changed, 106 insertions(+) create mode 100644 Documentation/trace/ring-buffer-map.rst (limited to 'Documentation/trace/ring-buffer-map.rst') diff --git a/Documentation/trace/ring-buffer-map.rst b/Documentation/trace/ring-buffer-map.rst new file mode 100644 index 000000000..8e296bcc0 --- /dev/null +++ b/Documentation/trace/ring-buffer-map.rst @@ -0,0 +1,106 @@ +.. SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0 + +================================== +Tracefs ring-buffer memory mapping +================================== + +:Author: Vincent Donnefort + +Overview +======== +Tracefs ring-buffer memory map provides an efficient method to stream data +as no memory copy is necessary. The application mapping the ring-buffer becomes +then a consumer for that ring-buffer, in a similar fashion to trace_pipe. + +Memory mapping setup +==================== +The mapping works with a mmap() of the trace_pipe_raw interface. + +The first system page of the mapping contains ring-buffer statistics and +description. It is referred to as the meta-page. One of the most important +fields of the meta-page is the reader. It contains the sub-buffer ID which can +be safely read by the mapper (see ring-buffer-design.rst). + +The meta-page is followed by all the sub-buffers, ordered by ascending ID. It is +therefore effortless to know where the reader starts in the mapping: + +.. code-block:: c + + reader_id = meta->reader->id; + reader_offset = meta->meta_page_size + reader_id * meta->subbuf_size; + +When the application is done with the current reader, it can get a new one using +the trace_pipe_raw ioctl() TRACE_MMAP_IOCTL_GET_READER. This ioctl also updates +the meta-page fields. + +Limitations +=========== +When a mapping is in place on a Tracefs ring-buffer, it is not possible to +either resize it (either by increasing the entire size of the ring-buffer or +each subbuf). It is also not possible to use snapshot and causes splice to copy +the ring buffer data instead of using the copyless swap from the ring buffer. + +Concurrent readers (either another application mapping that ring-buffer or the +kernel with trace_pipe) are allowed but not recommended. They will compete for +the ring-buffer and the output is unpredictable, just like concurrent readers on +trace_pipe would be. + +Example +======= + +.. code-block:: c + + #include + #include + #include + #include + + #include + + #include + #include + + #define TRACE_PIPE_RAW "/sys/kernel/tracing/per_cpu/cpu0/trace_pipe_raw" + + int main(void) + { + int page_size = getpagesize(), fd, reader_id; + unsigned long meta_len, data_len; + struct trace_buffer_meta *meta; + void *map, *reader, *data; + + fd = open(TRACE_PIPE_RAW, O_RDONLY | O_NONBLOCK); + if (fd < 0) + exit(EXIT_FAILURE); + + map = mmap(NULL, page_size, PROT_READ, MAP_SHARED, fd, 0); + if (map == MAP_FAILED) + exit(EXIT_FAILURE); + + meta = (struct trace_buffer_meta *)map; + meta_len = meta->meta_page_size; + + printf("entries: %llu\n", meta->entries); + printf("overrun: %llu\n", meta->overrun); + printf("read: %llu\n", meta->read); + printf("nr_subbufs: %u\n", meta->nr_subbufs); + + data_len = meta->subbuf_size * meta->nr_subbufs; + data = mmap(NULL, data_len, PROT_READ, MAP_SHARED, fd, meta_len); + if (data == MAP_FAILED) + exit(EXIT_FAILURE); + + if (ioctl(fd, TRACE_MMAP_IOCTL_GET_READER) < 0) + exit(EXIT_FAILURE); + + reader_id = meta->reader.id; + reader = data + meta->subbuf_size * reader_id; + + printf("Current reader address: %p\n", reader); + + munmap(data, data_len); + munmap(meta, meta_len); + close (fd); + + return 0; + } -- cgit v1.3.1
