Pointer types
=============
A raw pointer value may be printed with %p which will hash the address
before printing. The kernel also supports extended specifiers for printing
pointers of different types.
Plain Pointers
--------------
::
%p abcdef12 or 00000000abcdef12
Pointers printed without a specifier extension (i.e unadorned %p) are
hashed to prevent leaking information about the kernel memory layout. This
has the added benefit of providing a unique identifier. On 64-bit machines
the first 32 bits are zeroed. If you *really* want the address see %px
below.

refcount_t API compared to atomic_t
===================================
.. contents:: :local:
Introduction
============
The goal of refcount_t API is to provide a minimal API for implementing
an object's reference counters. While a generic architecture-independent
implementation from lib/refcount.c uses atomic operations underneath,
there are a number of differences between some of the ``refcount_*()`` and
``atomic_*()`` functions with regards to the memory ordering guarantees.
This document outlines the differences and provides respective examples
in order to help maintainers validate their code against the change in
these memory ordering guarantees.
The terms used through this document try to follow the formal LKMM defined in
github.com/aparri/memory-model/blob/master/Documentation/explanation.txt
memory-barriers.txt and atomic_t.txt provide more background to the
memory ordering in general and for atomic operations specifically.
Relevant types of memory ordering
=================================
.. note:: The following section only covers some of the memory
ordering types that are relevant for the atomics and reference
counters and used through this document. For a much broader picture
please consult memory-barriers.txt document.
In the absence of any memory ordering guarantees (i.e. fully unordered)
atomics & refcounters only provide atomicity and
program order (po) relation (on the same CPU). It guarantees that
each ``atomic_*()`` and ``refcount_*()`` operation is atomic and instructions
are executed in program order on a single CPU.
This is implemented using :c:func:`READ_ONCE`/:c:func:`WRITE_ONCE` and
compare-and-swap primitives.
A strong (full) memory ordering guarantees that all prior loads and
stores (all po-earlier instructions) on the same CPU are completed
before any po-later instruction is executed on the same CPU.
It also guarantees that all po-earlier stores on the same CPU
and all propagated stores from other CPUs must propagate to all
other CPUs before any po-later instruction is executed on the original
CPU (A-cumulative property). This is implemented using :c:func:`smp_mb`.
A RELEASE memory ordering guarantees that all prior loads and
stores (all po-earlier instructions) on the same CPU are completed
before the operation. It also guarantees that all po-earlier
stores on the same CPU and all propagated stores from other CPUs
must propagate to all other CPUs before the release operation
(A-cumulative property). This is implemented using
:c:func:`smp_store_release`.
A control dependency (on success) for refcounters guarantees that
if a reference for an object was successfully obtained (reference
counter increment or addition happened, function returned true),
then further stores are ordered against this operation.
Control dependency on stores are not implemented using any explicit
barriers, but rely on CPU not to speculate on stores. This is only
a single CPU relation and provides no guarantees for other CPUs.

Parameters and member arguments
-------------------------------
The kernel-doc function comments describe each parameter to the function and
function typedefs or each member of struct/union, in order, with the
``@argument:`` descriptions. For each non-private member argument, one
``@argument`` definition is needed.
The ``@argument:`` descriptions begin on the very next line following
the opening brief function description line, with no intervening blank
comment lines.
The ``@argument:`` descriptions may span multiple lines.
.. note::
If the ``@argument`` description has multiple lines, the continuation
of the description should be starting exactly at the same column as
the previous line, e. g.::
* @argument: some long description
* that continues on next lines
or::
* @argument:
* some long description
* that continues on next lines
If a function or typedef parameter argument is ``...`` (e. g. a variable
number of arguments), its description should be listed in kernel-doc
notation as::
* @...: description
Private members
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Inside a struct or union description, you can use the ``private:`` and
``public:`` comment tags. Structure fields that are inside a ``private:``
area are not listed in the generated output documentation.
The ``private:`` and ``public:`` tags must begin immediately following a
``/*`` comment marker. They may optionally include comments between the
``:`` and the ending ``*/`` marker.
Example::
/**
* struct my_struct - short description
* @a: first member
* @b: second member
* @d: fourth member
*
* Longer description
*/
struct my_struct {
int a;
int b;
/* private: internal use only */
int c;
/* public: the next one is public */
int d;
};
Function documentation
----------------------
The general format of a function and function-like macro kernel-doc comment is::
/**
* function_name() - Brief description of function.
* @arg1: Describe the first argument.
* @arg2: Describe the second argument.
* One can provide multiple line descriptions
* for arguments.
*
* A longer description, with more discussion of the function function_name()
* that might be useful to those using or modifying it. Begins with an
* empty comment line, and may include additional embedded empty
* comment lines.
*
* The longer description may have multiple paragraphs.
*
* Return: Describe the return value of foobar.
*
* The return value description can also have multiple paragraphs, and should
* be placed at the end of the comment block.
*/
The brief description following the function name may span multiple lines, and
ends with an argument description, a blank comment line, or the end of the
comment block.
Return values
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The return value, if any, should be described in a dedicated section
named ``Return``.
.. note::
#) The multi-line descriptive text you provide does *not* recognize
line breaks, so if you try to format some text nicely, as in::
* Return:
* 0 - OK
* -EINVAL - invalid argument
* -ENOMEM - out of memory
this will all run together and produce::
Return: 0 - OK -EINVAL - invalid argument -ENOMEM - out of memory
So, in order to produce the desired line breaks, you need to use a
ReST list, e. g.::
* Return:
* * 0 - OK to runtime suspend the device
* * -EBUSY - Device should not be runtime suspended
#) If the descriptive text you provide has lines that begin with
some phrase followed by a colon, each of those phrases will be taken
as a new section heading, with probably won't produce the desired
effect.

The general format of a struct, union, and enum kernel-doc comment is::
/**
* struct struct_name - Brief description.
* @argument: Description of member member_name.
*
* Description of the structure.
*/
On the above, ``struct`` is used to mean structs. You can also use ``union``
and ``enum`` to describe unions and enums. ``argument`` is used
to mean struct and union member names as well as enumerations in an enum.
The brief description following the structure name may span multiple lines, and
ends with a member description, a blank comment line, or the end of the
comment block.
The kernel-doc data structure comments describe each member of the structure,
in order, with the member descriptions.

* @arg3: - third argument of anonymous union/anonymous struct
* @arg4: - fourth argument of anonymous union/anonymous struct
* @bar.st1.arg1 - first argument of struct st1 on union bar
* @bar.st1.arg2 - second argument of struct st1 on union bar
* @bar.st2.arg1 - first argument of struct st2 on union bar
* @bar.st2.arg2 - second argument of struct st2 on union bar

}
union {
struct {
int arg1;
int arg2;
} st1;
struct {
void *arg1;
int arg2;
} st2;
} bar;
};
.. note::
#) When documenting nested structs or unions, if the struct/union ``foo``
is named, the argument ``bar`` inside it should be documented as
``@foo.bar:``
#) When the nested struct/union is anonymous, the argument ``bar`` on it
should be documented as ``@bar:``

configured to support USB_XHCI_DBGCAP. A sysfs attribute under
the xHCI device node is used to enable or disable DbC. By default,
DbC is disabled::
root@target:/sys/bus/pci/devices/0000:00:14.0# cat dbc
disabled
Enable DbC with the following command::
root@target:/sys/bus/pci/devices/0000:00:14.0# echo enable > dbc
You can check the DbC state at anytime::
root@target:/sys/bus/pci/devices/0000:00:14.0# cat dbc
enabled
Connect the debug target to the debug host with a USB 3.0 super-
speed A-to-A debugging cable. You can see /dev/ttyDBC0 created
on the debug target. You will see below kernel message lines::
root@target: tail -f /var/log/kern.log
[ 182.730103] xhci_hcd 0000:00:14.0: DbC connected
[ 191.169420] xhci_hcd 0000:00:14.0: DbC configured
[ 191.169597] xhci_hcd 0000:00:14.0: DbC now attached to /dev/ttyDBC0
Accordingly, the DbC state has been brought up to::
root@target:/sys/bus/pci/devices/0000:00:14.0# cat dbc
configured
On the debug host, you will see the debug device has been enumerated.
You will see below kernel message lines::
root@host: tail -f /var/log/kern.log
[ 79.454780] usb 2-2.1: new SuperSpeed USB device number 3 using xhci_hcd
[ 79.475003] usb 2-2.1: LPM exit latency is zeroed, disabling LPM.
[ 79.475389] usb 2-2.1: New USB device found, idVendor=1d6b, idProduct=0010
[ 79.475390] usb 2-2.1: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=3

[ 79.475392] usb 2-2.1: Manufacturer: Linux Foundation
[ 79.475393] usb 2-2.1: SerialNumber: 0001
The debug device works now. You can use any communication or debugging
program to talk between the host and the target.

kernel-doc nano-HOWTO
=====================
How to format kernel-doc comments
---------------------------------
In order to provide embedded, 'C' friendly, easy to maintain,
but consistent and extractable documentation of the functions and
data structures in the Linux kernel, the Linux kernel has adopted
a consistent style for documenting functions and their parameters,
and structures and their members.
The format for this documentation is called the kernel-doc format.
It is documented in this Documentation/kernel-doc-nano-HOWTO.txt file.
This style embeds the documentation within the source files, using
a few simple conventions. The scripts/kernel-doc perl script, the
Documentation/sphinx/kerneldoc.py Sphinx extension and other tools understand
these conventions, and are used to extract this embedded documentation
into various documents.
In order to provide good documentation of kernel functions and data
structures, please use the following conventions to format your
kernel-doc comments in Linux kernel source.
We definitely need kernel-doc formatted documentation for functions
that are exported to loadable modules using EXPORT_SYMBOL.
We also look to provide kernel-doc formatted documentation for
functions externally visible to other kernel files (not marked
"static").
We also recommend providing kernel-doc formatted documentation
for private (file "static") routines, for consistency of kernel
source code layout. But this is lower priority and at the
discretion of the MAINTAINER of that kernel source file.
Data structures visible in kernel include files should also be
documented using kernel-doc formatted comments.
The opening comment mark "/**" is reserved for kernel-doc comments.
Only comments so marked will be considered by the kernel-doc scripts,
and any comment so marked must be in kernel-doc format. Do not use
"/**" to be begin a comment block unless the comment block contains
kernel-doc formatted comments. The closing comment marker for
kernel-doc comments can be either "*/" or "**/", but "*/" is
preferred in the Linux kernel tree.
Kernel-doc comments should be placed just before the function
or data structure being described.
Example kernel-doc function comment:
/**
* foobar() - short function description of foobar
* @arg1: Describe the first argument to foobar.
* @arg2: Describe the second argument to foobar.
* One can provide multiple line descriptions
* for arguments.
*
* A longer description, with more discussion of the function foobar()
* that might be useful to those using or modifying it. Begins with
* empty comment line, and may include additional embedded empty
* comment lines.
*
* The longer description can have multiple paragraphs.
*
* Return: Describe the return value of foobar.
*/
The short description following the subject can span multiple lines
and ends with an @argument description, an empty line or the end of
the comment block.
The @argument descriptions must begin on the very next line following
this opening short function description line, with no intervening
empty comment lines.
If a function parameter is "..." (varargs), it should be listed in
kernel-doc notation as:
* @...: description
The return value, if any, should be described in a dedicated section
named "Return".
Example kernel-doc data structure comment.
/**
* struct blah - the basic blah structure
* @mem1: describe the first member of struct blah
* @mem2: describe the second member of struct blah,
* perhaps with more lines and words.
*
* Longer description of this structure.
*/
The kernel-doc function comments describe each parameter to the
function, in order, with the @name lines.
The kernel-doc data structure comments describe each structure member
in the data structure, with the @name lines.
The longer description formatting is "reflowed", losing your line
breaks. So presenting carefully formatted lists within these
descriptions won't work so well; derived documentation will lose
the formatting.
See the section below "How to add extractable documentation to your
source files" for more details and notes on how to format kernel-doc
comments.
Components of the kernel-doc system
-----------------------------------
Many places in the source tree have extractable documentation in the
form of block comments above functions. The components of this system
are:
- scripts/kernel-doc
This is a perl script that hunts for the block comments and can mark
them up directly into DocBook, ReST, man, text, and HTML. (No, not
texinfo.)
- scripts/docproc.c
This is a program for converting SGML template files into SGML
files. When a file is referenced it is searched for symbols
exported (EXPORT_SYMBOL), to be able to distinguish between internal
and external functions.
It invokes kernel-doc, giving it the list of functions that
are to be documented.
Additionally it is used to scan the SGML template files to locate
all the files referenced herein. This is used to generate dependency
information as used by make.
- Makefile
The targets 'xmldocs', 'latexdocs', 'pdfdocs', 'epubdocs'and 'htmldocs'
are used to build XML DocBook files, LaTeX files, PDF files,
ePub files and html files in Documentation/.
How to extract the documentation
--------------------------------
If you just want to read the ready-made books on the various
subsystems, just type 'make epubdocs', or 'make pdfdocs', or 'make htmldocs',
depending on your preference. If you would rather read a different format,
you can type 'make xmldocs' and then use DocBook tools to convert
Documentation/output/*.xml to a format of your choice (for example,
'db2html ...' if 'make htmldocs' was not defined).
If you want to see man pages instead, you can do this:
$ cd linux
$ scripts/kernel-doc -man $(find -name '*.c') | split-man.pl /tmp/man
$ scripts/kernel-doc -man $(find -name '*.h') | split-man.pl /tmp/man
Here is split-man.pl:
-->
#!/usr/bin/perl
if ($#ARGV < 0) {
die "where do I put the results?\n";
}
mkdir $ARGV[0],0777;
$state = 0;
while (<STDIN>) {
if (/^\.TH \"[^\"]*\" 9 \"([^\"]*)\"/) {
if ($state == 1) { close OUT }
$state = 1;
$fn = "$ARGV[0]/$1.9";
print STDERR "Creating $fn\n";
open OUT, ">$fn" or die "can't open $fn: $!\n";
print OUT $_;
} elsif ($state != 0) {
print OUT $_;
}
}
close OUT;
<--
If you just want to view the documentation for one function in one
file, you can do this:
$ scripts/kernel-doc -man -function fn file | nroff -man | less
or this:
$ scripts/kernel-doc -text -function fn file
How to add extractable documentation to your source files
---------------------------------------------------------
The format of the block comment is like this:
/**
* function_name(:)? (- short description)?
(* @parameterx(space)*: (description of parameter x)?)*
(* a blank line)?
* (Description:)? (Description of function)?
* (section header: (section description)? )*
(*)?*/
All "description" text can span multiple lines, although the
function_name & its short description are traditionally on a single line.
Description text may also contain blank lines (i.e., lines that contain
only a "*").
"section header:" names must be unique per function (or struct,
union, typedef, enum).
Use the section header "Return" for sections describing the return value
of a function.
Avoid putting a spurious blank line after the function name, or else the
description will be repeated!
All descriptive text is further processed, scanning for the following special
patterns, which are highlighted appropriately.
'funcname()' - function
'$ENVVAR' - environment variable
'&struct_name' - name of a structure (up to two words including 'struct')
'@parameter' - name of a parameter
'%CONST' - name of a constant.
NOTE 1: The multi-line descriptive text you provide does *not* recognize
line breaks, so if you try to format some text nicely, as in:
Return:
0 - cool
1 - invalid arg
2 - out of memory
this will all run together and produce:
Return: 0 - cool 1 - invalid arg 2 - out of memory
NOTE 2: If the descriptive text you provide has lines that begin with
some phrase followed by a colon, each of those phrases will be taken as
a new section heading, which means you should similarly try to avoid text
like:
Return:
0: cool
1: invalid arg
2: out of memory
every line of which would start a new section. Again, probably not
what you were after.
Take a look around the source tree for examples.
kernel-doc for structs, unions, enums, and typedefs
---------------------------------------------------
Beside functions you can also write documentation for structs, unions,
enums and typedefs. Instead of the function name you must write the name
of the declaration; the struct/union/enum/typedef must always precede
the name. Nesting of declarations is not supported.
Use the argument mechanism to document members or constants.
Inside a struct description, you can use the "private:" and "public:"
comment tags. Structure fields that are inside a "private:" area
are not listed in the generated output documentation. The "private:"
and "public:" tags must begin immediately following a "/*" comment
marker. They may optionally include comments between the ":" and the
ending "*/" marker.
Example:
/**
* struct my_struct - short description
* @a: first member
* @b: second member
*
* Longer description
*/
struct my_struct {
int a;
int b;
/* private: internal use only */
int c;
};
Including documentation blocks in source files
----------------------------------------------
To facilitate having source code and comments close together, you can
include kernel-doc documentation blocks that are free-form comments
instead of being kernel-doc for functions, structures, unions,
enums, or typedefs. This could be used for something like a
theory of operation for a driver or library code, for example.
This is done by using a DOC: section keyword with a section title. E.g.:
/**
* DOC: Theory of Operation
*
* The whizbang foobar is a dilly of a gizmo. It can do whatever you
* want it to do, at any time. It reads your mind. Here's how it works.
*
* foo bar splat
*
* The only drawback to this gizmo is that is can sometimes damage
* hardware, software, or its subject(s).
*/
DOC: sections are used in ReST files.

tags can be created by passing the ``-u`` flag to ``git tag``. However,
since you would *usually* use the same key for the same project, you can
set it once with
::
git config user.signingkey "keyname"
Alternatively, edit your ``.git/config`` or ``~/.gitconfig`` file by hand:
