ABI stable symbols

Documents the interfaces that the developer has defined to be stable.

Userspace programs are free to use these interfaces with no restrictions, and backward compatibility for them will be guaranteed for at least 2 years.

Most interfaces (like syscalls) are expected to never change and always be available.

Symbols under /dev/fw

/dev/fw[0-9]+

Defined on file firewire-cdev

The character device files /dev/fw* are the interface between firewire-core and IEEE 1394 device drivers implemented in userspace. The ioctl(2)- and read(2)-based ABI is defined and documented in <linux/firewire-cdev.h>.

This ABI offers most of the features which firewire-core also exposes to kernelspace IEEE 1394 drivers.

Each /dev/fw* is associated with one IEEE 1394 node, which can be remote or local nodes. Operations on a /dev/fw* file have different scope:

  • The 1394 node which is associated with the file:

    • Asynchronous request transmission

    • Get the Configuration ROM

    • Query node ID

    • Query maximum speed of the path between this node and local node

  • The 1394 bus (i.e. “card”) to which the node is attached to:

    • Isochronous stream transmission and reception

    • Asynchronous stream transmission and reception

    • Asynchronous broadcast request transmission

    • PHY packet transmission and reception

    • Allocate, reallocate, deallocate isochronous resources (channels, bandwidth) at the bus’s IRM

    • Query node IDs of local node, root node, IRM, bus manager

    • Query cycle time

    • Bus reset initiation, bus reset event reception

  • All 1394 buses:

    • Allocation of IEEE 1212 address ranges on the local link layers, reception of inbound requests to such an address range, asynchronous response transmission to inbound requests

    • Addition of descriptors or directories to the local nodes’ Configuration ROM

Due to the different scope of operations and in order to let userland implement different access permission models, some operations are restricted to /dev/fw* files that are associated with a local node:

  • Addition of descriptors or directories to the local nodes’ Configuration ROM

  • PHY packet transmission and reception

A /dev/fw* file remains associated with one particular node during its entire life time. Bus topology changes, and hence node ID changes, are tracked by firewire-core. ABI users do not need to be aware of topology.

The following file operations are supported:

open(2)

Currently the only useful flags are O_RDWR.

ioctl(2)

Initiate various actions. Some take immediate effect, others are performed asynchronously while or after the ioctl returns. See the inline documentation in <linux/firewire-cdev.h> for descriptions of all ioctls.

poll(2), select(2), epoll_wait(2) etc.

Watch for events to become available to be read.

read(2)

Receive various events. There are solicited events like outbound asynchronous transaction completion or isochronous buffer completion, and unsolicited events such as bus resets, request reception, or PHY packet reception. Always use a read buffer which is large enough to receive the largest event that could ever arrive. See <linux/firewire-cdev.h> for descriptions of all event types and for which ioctls affect reception of events.

mmap(2)

Allocate a DMA buffer for isochronous reception or transmission and map it into the process address space. The arguments should be used as follows: addr = NULL, length = the desired buffer size, i.e. number of packets times size of largest packet, prot = at least PROT_READ for reception and at least PROT_WRITE for transmission, flags = MAP_SHARED, fd = the handle to the /dev/fw*, offset = 0.

Isochronous reception works in packet-per-buffer fashion except for multichannel reception which works in buffer-fill mode.

munmap(2)

Unmap the isochronous I/O buffer from the process address space.

close(2)

Besides stopping and freeing I/O contexts that were associated with the file descriptor, back out any changes to the local nodes’ Configuration ROM. Deallocate isochronous channels and bandwidth at the IRM that were marked for kernel-assisted re- and deallocation.

Symbols under /sys/accessibility

/sys/accessibility/speakup/<synth-name>/

Defined on file sysfs-driver-speakup

In /sys/accessibility/speakup is a directory corresponding to the synthesizer driver currently in use (E.G) soft for the soft driver. This directory contains files which control the speech synthesizer itself, as opposed to controlling the speakup screen reader. The parameters in this directory have the same names and functions across all supported synthesizers. The range of values for freq, pitch, rate, and vol is the same for all supported synthesizers, with the given range being internally mapped by the driver to more or less fit the range of values supported for a given parameter by the individual synthesizer. Below is a description of values and parameters for soft synthesizer, which is currently the most commonly used.

/sys/accessibility/speakup/<synth-name>/caps_start

Defined on file sysfs-driver-speakup

This is the string that is sent to the synthesizer to cause it to start speaking uppercase letters. For the soft synthesizer and most others, this causes the pitch of the voice to rise above the currently set pitch.

/sys/accessibility/speakup/<synth-name>/caps_stop

Defined on file sysfs-driver-speakup

This is the string sent to the synthesizer to cause it to stop speaking uppercase letters. In the case of the soft synthesizer and most others, this returns the pitch of the voice down to the currently set pitch.

/sys/accessibility/speakup/<synth-name>/delay_time

Defined on file sysfs-driver-speakup

TODO:

/sys/accessibility/speakup/<synth-name>/direct

Defined on file sysfs-driver-speakup

Controls if punctuation is spoken by speakup, or by the synthesizer.

For example, speakup speaks “>” as “greater”, while the espeak synthesizer used by the soft driver speaks “greater than”. Zero lets speakup speak the punctuation. One lets the synthesizer itself speak punctuation.

/sys/accessibility/speakup/<synth-name>/flush_time

Defined on file sysfs-driver-speakup

Gets or sets the timeout to wait for the synthesizer flush to complete. This can be used when the cable gets faulty and flush notifications are getting lost.

/sys/accessibility/speakup/<synth-name>/freq

Defined on file sysfs-driver-speakup

Gets or sets the frequency of the speech synthesizer. Range is 0-9.

/sys/accessibility/speakup/<synth-name>/full_time

Defined on file sysfs-driver-speakup

TODO:

/sys/accessibility/speakup/<synth-name>/inflection

Defined on file sysfs-driver-speakup

Gets or sets the inflection of the synthesizer, i.e. the pitch range. The range is 0-9.

/sys/accessibility/speakup/<synth-name>/jiffy_delta

Defined on file sysfs-driver-speakup

This controls how many jiffys the kernel gives to the synthesizer. Setting this too high can make a system unstable, or even crash it.

/sys/accessibility/speakup/<synth-name>/pitch

Defined on file sysfs-driver-speakup

Gets or sets the pitch of the synthesizer. The range is 0-9.

/sys/accessibility/speakup/<synth-name>/punct

Defined on file sysfs-driver-speakup

Gets or sets the amount of punctuation spoken by the synthesizer. The range for the soft driver seems to be 0-2. TODO: How is this related to speakup’s punc_level, or reading_punc.

/sys/accessibility/speakup/<synth-name>/rate

Defined on file sysfs-driver-speakup

Gets or sets the rate of the synthesizer. Range is from zero slowest, to nine fastest.

/sys/accessibility/speakup/<synth-name>/tone

Defined on file sysfs-driver-speakup

Gets or sets the tone of the speech synthesizer. The range for the soft driver seems to be 0-2. This seems to make no difference if using espeak and the espeakup connector. TODO: does espeakup support different tonalities?

/sys/accessibility/speakup/<synth-name>/trigger_time

Defined on file sysfs-driver-speakup

TODO:

/sys/accessibility/speakup/<synth-name>/voice

Defined on file sysfs-driver-speakup

Gets or sets the voice used by the synthesizer if the synthesizer can speak in more than one voice. The range for the soft driver is 0-7. Note that while espeak supports multiple voices, this parameter will not set the voice when the espeakup connector is used between speakup and espeak.

/sys/accessibility/speakup/<synth-name>/vol

Defined on file sysfs-driver-speakup

Gets or sets the volume of the speech synthesizer. Range is 0-9, with zero being the softest, and nine being the loudest.

/sys/accessibility/speakup/attrib_bleep

Defined on file sysfs-driver-speakup

Beeps the PC speaker when there is an attribute change such as foreground or background color when using speakup review commands. One = on, zero = off.

/sys/accessibility/speakup/bell_pos

Defined on file sysfs-driver-speakup

This works much like a typewriter bell. If for example 72 is echoed to bell_pos, it will beep the PC speaker when typing on a line past character 72.

/sys/accessibility/speakup/bleep_time

Defined on file sysfs-driver-speakup

This controls the duration of the PC speaker beeps speakup produces. TODO: What are the units? Jiffies?

/sys/accessibility/speakup/bleeps

Defined on file sysfs-driver-speakup

This controls whether one hears beeps through the PC speaker when using speakup’s review commands. TODO: what values does it accept?

/sys/accessibility/speakup/cursor_time

Defined on file sysfs-driver-speakup

This controls cursor delay when using arrow keys. When a connection is very slow, with the default setting, when moving with the arrows, or backspacing etc. speakup says the incorrect characters. Set this to a higher value to adjust for the delay and better synchronisation between cursor position and speech.

/sys/accessibility/speakup/delimiters

Defined on file sysfs-driver-speakup

Delimit a word from speakup. TODO: add more info

/sys/accessibility/speakup/ex_num

Defined on file sysfs-driver-speakup

TODO:

/sys/accessibility/speakup/i18n/announcements

Defined on file sysfs-driver-speakup

This file contains various general announcements, most of which cannot be categorized. You will find messages such as “You killed Speakup”, “I’m alive”, “leaving help”, “parked”, “unparked”, and others. You will also find the names of the screen edges and cursor tracking modes here.

/sys/accessibility/speakup/i18n/characters

Defined on file sysfs-driver-speakup

Through this sys entry, Speakup gives you the ability to change how Speakup pronounces a given character. You could, for example, change how some punctuation characters are spoken. You can even change how Speakup will pronounce certain letters. For further details see ‘12. Changing the Pronunciation of Characters’ in Speakup User’s Guide (file spkguide.txt in source).

/sys/accessibility/speakup/i18n/chartab

Defined on file sysfs-driver-speakup

TODO

/sys/accessibility/speakup/i18n/colors

Defined on file sysfs-driver-speakup

When you use the “say attributes” function, Speakup says the name of the foreground and background colors. These names come from the i18n/colors file.

/sys/accessibility/speakup/i18n/ctl_keys

Defined on file sysfs-driver-speakup

Here, you will find names of control keys. These are used with Speakup’s say_control feature.

/sys/accessibility/speakup/i18n/formatted

Defined on file sysfs-driver-speakup

This group of messages contains embedded formatting codes, to specify the type and width of displayed data. If you change these, you must preserve all of the formatting codes, and they must appear in the order used by the default messages.

/sys/accessibility/speakup/i18n/function_names

Defined on file sysfs-driver-speakup

Here, you will find a list of names for Speakup functions. These are used by the help system. For example, suppose that you have activated help mode, and you pressed keypad 3. Speakup says: “keypad 3 is character, say next.” The message “character, say next” names a Speakup function, and it comes from this function_names file.

/sys/accessibility/speakup/i18n/key_names

Defined on file sysfs-driver-speakup

Again, key_names is used by Speakup’s help system. In the previous example, Speakup said that you pressed “keypad 3.” This name came from the key_names file.

/sys/accessibility/speakup/i18n/states

Defined on file sysfs-driver-speakup

This file contains names for key states. Again, these are part of the help system. For instance, if you had pressed speakup + keypad 3, you would hear: “speakup keypad 3 is go to bottom edge.”

The speakup key is depressed, so the name of the key state is speakup.

This part of the message comes from the states collection.

/sys/accessibility/speakup/key_echo

Defined on file sysfs-driver-speakup

Controls if speakup speaks keys when they are typed. One = on, zero = off or don’t echo keys.

/sys/accessibility/speakup/keymap

Defined on file sysfs-driver-speakup

Speakup keymap remaps keys to Speakup functions. It uses a binary format. A special program called genmap is needed to compile a textual keymap into the binary format which is then loaded into /sys/accessibility/speakup/keymap.

/sys/accessibility/speakup/no_interrupt

Defined on file sysfs-driver-speakup

Controls if typing interrupts output from speakup. With no_interrupt set to zero, typing on the keyboard will interrupt speakup if for example the say screen command is used before the entire screen is read.

With no_interrupt set to one, if the say screen command is used, and one then types on the keyboard, speakup will continue to say the whole screen regardless until it finishes.

/sys/accessibility/speakup/punc_all

Defined on file sysfs-driver-speakup

This is a list of all the punctuation speakup should speak when punc_level is set to four.

/sys/accessibility/speakup/punc_level

Defined on file sysfs-driver-speakup

Controls the level of punctuation spoken as the screen is displayed, not reviewed. Levels range from zero no punctuation, to four, all punctuation. One corresponds to punc_some, two corresponds to punc_most, and three as well as four both correspond to punc_all. Some hardware synthesizers may have different levels each corresponding to three and four for punc_level. Also note that if punc_level is set to zero, and key_echo is set to one, typed punctuation is still spoken as it is typed.

/sys/accessibility/speakup/punc_most

Defined on file sysfs-driver-speakup

This is a list of all the punctuation speakup should speak when punc_level is set to two.

/sys/accessibility/speakup/punc_some

Defined on file sysfs-driver-speakup

This is a list of all the punctuation speakup should speak when punc_level is set to one.

/sys/accessibility/speakup/reading_punc

Defined on file sysfs-driver-speakup

Almost the same as punc_level, the differences being that reading_punc controls the level of punctuation when reviewing the screen with speakup’s screen review commands. The other difference is that reading_punc set to three speaks punc_all, and reading_punc set to four speaks all punctuation, including spaces.

/sys/accessibility/speakup/repeats

Defined on file sysfs-driver-speakup

A list of characters speakup repeats. Normally, when there are more than three characters in a row, speakup just reads three of those characters. For example, “……” would be read as dot, dot, dot. If a . is added to the list of characters in repeats, “……” would be read as dot, dot, dot, times six.

/sys/accessibility/speakup/say_control

Defined on file sysfs-driver-speakup

If set to one, speakup speaks shift, alt and control when those keys are pressed. If say_control is set to zero, shift, ctrl, and alt are not spoken when they are pressed.

/sys/accessibility/speakup/say_word_ctl

Defined on file sysfs-driver-speakup

TODO:

/sys/accessibility/speakup/silent

Defined on file sysfs-driver-speakup

TODO:

/sys/accessibility/speakup/spell_delay

Defined on file sysfs-driver-speakup

This controls how fast a word is spelled when speakup’s say word review command is pressed twice quickly to speak the current word being reviewed. Zero just speaks the letters one after another, while values one through four seem to introduce more of a pause between the spelling of each letter by speakup.

/sys/accessibility/speakup/synth

Defined on file sysfs-driver-speakup

Gets or sets the synthesizer driver currently in use. Reading synth returns the synthesizer driver currently in use. Writing synth switches to the given synthesizer driver, provided it is either built into the kernel, or already loaded as a module.

/sys/accessibility/speakup/synth_direct

Defined on file sysfs-driver-speakup

Sends whatever is written to synth_direct directly to the speech synthesizer in use, bypassing speakup. This could be used to make the synthesizer speak a string, or to send control sequences to the synthesizer to change how the synthesizer behaves.

/sys/accessibility/speakup/version

Defined on file sysfs-driver-speakup

Reading version returns the version of speakup, and the version of the synthesizer driver currently in use.

/sys/bus/usb/device/…/power/active_duration

Defined on file sysfs-bus-usb

If CONFIG_PM is enabled, then this file is present. When read, it returns the total time (in msec) that the USB device has been active, i.e. not in a suspended state. This file is read-only.

Tools can use this file and the connected_duration file to compute the percentage of time that a device has been active. For example:

echo $((100 * `cat active_duration` / `cat connected_duration`))

will give an integer percentage. Note that this does not account for counter wrap.

/sys/bus/usb/devices/…/bConfigurationValue

Defined on file sysfs-bus-usb

bConfigurationValue of the active configuration for the device. Writing 0 or -1 to bConfigurationValue will reset the active configuration (unconfigure the device). Writing another value will change the active configuration.

Note that some devices, in violation of the USB spec, have a configuration with a value equal to 0. Writing 0 to bConfigurationValue for these devices will install that configuration, rather then unconfigure the device.

Writing -1 will always unconfigure the device.

Defined on file sysfs-bus-usb

Binary file containing cached descriptors of the device. The binary data consists of the device descriptor followed by the descriptors for each configuration of the device. Note that the wTotalLength of the config descriptors can not be trusted, as the device may have a smaller config descriptor than it advertises. The bLength field of each (sub) descriptor can be trusted, and can be used to seek forward one (sub) descriptor at a time until the next config descriptor is found. All descriptors read from this file are in bus-endian format

/sys/bus/usb/devices/…/power/autosuspend

Defined on file sysfs-bus-usb

Each USB device directory will contain a file named power/autosuspend. This file holds the time (in seconds) the device must be idle before it will be autosuspended. 0 means the device will be autosuspended as soon as possible. Negative values will prevent the device from being autosuspended at all, and writing a negative value will resume the device if it is already suspended.

The autosuspend delay for newly-created devices is set to the value of the usbcore.autosuspend module parameter.

/sys/bus/usb/devices/…/power/persist

Defined on file sysfs-bus-usb

USB device directories can contain a file named power/persist. The file holds a boolean value (0 or 1) indicating whether or not the “USB-Persist” facility is enabled for the device. For hubs this facility is always enabled and their device directories will not contain this file.

Defined on file sysfs-class-backlight

The type of interface controlled by <backlight>. “firmware”: The driver uses a standard firmware interface “platform”: The driver uses a platform-specific interface “raw”: The driver controls hardware registers directly

In the general case, when multiple backlight interfaces are available for a single device, firmware control should be preferred to platform control should be preferred to raw control. Using a firmware interface reduces the probability of confusion with the hardware and the OS independently updating the backlight state. Platform interfaces are mostly a holdover from pre-standardisation of firmware interfaces.

They may match some of the counters in the counters directory, but they often include many other counters. In addition to the various counters, there will be a file named “lifespan” that configures how frequently the core should update the counters when they are being accessed (counters are not updated if they are not being accessed). The lifespan is in milliseconds and defaults to 10 unless set to something else by the driver. Users may echo a value between 0-10000 to the lifespan file to set the length of time between updates in milliseconds.

to make sure that when a process runs on cpus 4,5,6, or 7, and uses vl=0, then sdma engine 3 is selected by the driver, and also the interrupt of the sdma engine 3 is steered to cpu 3. Similarly, when a process runs on cpus 9,10,11, or 12 and sets vl=1, then engine 4 will be selected and the irq of the sdma engine 4 is steered to cpu 8. This assumes that in the above N is the irq number of “sdma3”, and M is irq number of “sdma4” in the /proc/interrupts file.

Defined on file sysfs-class-infiniband

The sysfs iov directory is used to manage and examine the port P_Key and guid paravirtualization. This directory is added only for the master – slaves do not have it.

Under iov/ports, the administrator may examine the gid and P_Key tables as they are present in the device (and as are seen in the “network view” presented to the SM).

The “pkeys” and “gids” subdirectories contain one file for each entry in the port’s P_Key or GID table respectively. For example, ports/1/pkeys/10 contains the value at index 10 in port 1’s P_Key table.

gids/<n>:

(RO) The physical port gids n = 0..127

admin_guids/<n>:

(RW) Allows examining or changing the administrative state of a given GUID n = 0..127

pkeys/<n>:

(RO) Display the GID mapping m = 1..2

<m>/pkey_idx/<n>:

(RW) Writable except for RoCE pkeys. m = 1..2, n = 0..126

Under the iov/<pci slot number> directories, the admin may map the index numbers in the physical tables (as under iov/ports) to the paravirtualized index numbers that guests see.

For example, if the administrator, for port 1 on guest 2 maps physical pkey index 10 to virtual index 1, then that guest, whenever it uses its pkey index 1, will actually be using the real pkey index 10.

/sys/class/infiniband_srp/srp-<hca>-<port_number>/add_target

Defined on file sysfs-driver-ib_srp

Interface for making ib_srp connect to a new target. One can request ib_srp to connect to a new target by writing a comma-separated list of login parameters to this sysfs attribute. The supported parameters are:

  • id_ext, a 16-digit hexadecimal number specifying the eight byte identifier extension in the 16-byte SRP target port identifier. The target port identifier is sent by ib_srp to the target in the SRP_LOGIN_REQ request.

  • ioc_guid, a 16-digit hexadecimal number specifying the eight byte I/O controller GUID portion of the 16-byte target port identifier.

  • dgid, a 32-digit hexadecimal number specifying the destination GID.

  • pkey, a four-digit hexadecimal number specifying the InfiniBand partition key.

  • service_id, a 16-digit hexadecimal number specifying the InfiniBand service ID used to establish communication with the SRP target. How to find out the value of the service ID is specified in the documentation of the SRP target.

  • max_sect, a decimal number specifying the maximum number of 512-byte sectors to be transferred via a single SCSI command.

  • max_cmd_per_lun, a decimal number specifying the maximum number of outstanding commands for a single LUN.

  • io_class, a hexadecimal number specifying the SRP I/O class. Must be either 0xff00 (rev 10) or 0x0100 (rev 16a). The I/O class defines the format of the SRP initiator and target port identifiers.

  • initiator_ext, a 16-digit hexadecimal number specifying the identifier extension portion of the SRP initiator port identifier. This data is sent by the initiator to the target in the SRP_LOGIN_REQ request.

  • cmd_sg_entries, a number in the range 1..255 that specifies the maximum number of data buffer descriptors stored in the SRP_CMD information unit itself. With allow_ext_sg=0 the parameter cmd_sg_entries defines the maximum S/G list length for a single SRP_CMD, and commands whose S/G list length exceeds this limit after S/G list collapsing will fail.

  • allow_ext_sg, whether ib_srp is allowed to include a partial memory descriptor list in an SRP_CMD instead of the entire list. If a partial memory descriptor list has been included in an SRP_CMD the remaining memory descriptors are communicated from initiator to target via an additional RDMA transfer. Setting allow_ext_sg to 1 increases the maximum amount of data that can be transferred between initiator and target via a single SCSI command. Since not all SRP target implementations support partial memory descriptor lists the default value for this option is 0.

  • sg_tablesize, a number in the range 1..2048 specifying the maximum S/G list length the SCSI layer is allowed to pass to ib_srp. Specifying a value that exceeds cmd_sg_entries is only safe with partial memory descriptor list support enabled (allow_ext_sg=1).

  • comp_vector, a number in the range 0..n-1 specifying the MSI-X completion vector of the first RDMA channel. Some HCA’s allocate multiple (n) MSI-X vectors per HCA port. If the IRQ affinity masks of these interrupts have been configured such that each MSI-X interrupt is handled by a different CPU then the comp_vector parameter can be used to spread the SRP completion workload over multiple CPU’s.

  • tl_retry_count, a number in the range 2..7 specifying the IB RC retry count.

  • queue_size, the maximum number of commands that the initiator is allowed to queue per SCSI host. The default value for this parameter is 62. The lowest supported value is 2.

  • max_it_iu_size, a decimal number specifying the maximum initiator to target information unit length.

/sys/class/tpm/tpmX/device/

Defined on file sysfs-class-tpm

The device/ directory under a specific TPM instance exposes the properties of that TPM chip

/sys/class/tpm/tpmX/device/active

Defined on file sysfs-class-tpm

The “active” property prints a ‘1’ if the TPM chip is accepting commands. An inactive TPM chip still contains all the state of an active chip (Storage Root Key, NVRAM, etc), and can be visible to the OS, but will only accept a restricted set of commands. See the TPM Main Specification part 2, Structures, section 17 for more information on which commands are available.

/sys/class/tpm/tpmX/device/cancel

Defined on file sysfs-class-tpm

The “cancel” property allows you to cancel the currently pending TPM command. Writing any value to cancel will call the TPM vendor specific cancel operation.

/sys/class/tpm/tpmX/device/caps

Defined on file sysfs-class-tpm

The “caps” property contains TPM manufacturer and version info.

Example output:

Manufacturer: 0x53544d20
TCG version: 1.2
Firmware version: 8.16

Manufacturer is a hex dump of the 4 byte manufacturer info space in a TPM. TCG version shows the TCG TPM spec level that the chip supports. Firmware version is that of the chip and is manufacturer specific.

/sys/class/tpm/tpmX/device/durations

Defined on file sysfs-class-tpm

The “durations” property shows the 3 vendor-specific values used to wait for a short, medium and long TPM command. All TPM commands are categorized as short, medium or long in execution time, so that the driver doesn’t have to wait any longer than necessary before starting to poll for a result.

Example output:

3015000 4508000 180995000 [original]

Here the short, medium and long durations are displayed in usecs. “[original]” indicates that the values are displayed unmodified from when they were queried from the chip. Durations can be modified in the case where a buggy chip reports them in msec instead of usec and they need to be scaled to be displayed in usecs. In this case “[adjusted]” will be displayed in place of “[original]”.

/sys/class/tpm/tpmX/device/enabled

Defined on file sysfs-class-tpm

The “enabled” property prints a ‘1’ if the TPM chip is enabled, meaning that it should be visible to the OS. This property may be visible but produce a ‘0’ after some operation that disables the TPM.

/sys/class/tpm/tpmX/device/owned

Defined on file sysfs-class-tpm

The “owned” property produces a ‘1’ if the TPM_TakeOwnership ordinal has been executed successfully in the chip. A ‘0’ indicates that ownership hasn’t been taken.

/sys/class/tpm/tpmX/device/pcrs

Defined on file sysfs-class-tpm

The “pcrs” property will dump the current value of all Platform Configuration Registers in the TPM. Note that since these values may be constantly changing, the output is only valid for a snapshot in time.

Example output:

PCR-00: 3A 3F 78 0F 11 A4 B4 99 69 FC AA 80 CD 6E 39 57 C3 3B 22 75
PCR-01: 3A 3F 78 0F 11 A4 B4 99 69 FC AA 80 CD 6E 39 57 C3 3B 22 75
PCR-02: 3A 3F 78 0F 11 A4 B4 99 69 FC AA 80 CD 6E 39 57 C3 3B 22 75
PCR-03: 3A 3F 78 0F 11 A4 B4 99 69 FC AA 80 CD 6E 39 57 C3 3B 22 75
PCR-04: 3A 3F 78 0F 11 A4 B4 99 69 FC AA 80 CD 6E 39 57 C3 3B 22 75
...

The number of PCRs and hex bytes needed to represent a PCR value will vary depending on TPM chip version. For TPM 1.1 and 1.2 chips, PCRs represent SHA-1 hashes, which are 20 bytes long. Use the “caps” property to determine TPM version.

/sys/class/tpm/tpmX/device/pubek

Defined on file sysfs-class-tpm

The “pubek” property will return the TPM’s public endorsement key if possible. If the TPM has had ownership established and is version 1.2, the pubek will not be available without the owner’s authorization. Since the TPM driver doesn’t store any secrets, it can’t authorize its own request for the pubek, making it unaccessible. The public endorsement key is gener- ated at TPM manufacture time and exists for the life of the chip.

Example output:

Algorithm: 00 00 00 01

/sys/devices/platform/mlxplat/mlxreg-io/hwmon/hwmon*/shutdown_unlock

Defined on file sysfs-driver-mlxreg-io

This file allows to unlock ASIC after thermal shutdown event. When system thermal shutdown is enforced by ASIC, ASIC is getting locked and after system boot it will not be available. Software can decide to unlock it by setting this attribute to 1 and then perform system power cycle by setting pwr_cycle attribute to 1 (power cycle of main power domain). Before setting shutdown_unlock to 1 it is recommended to validate that system reboot cause is reset_asic_thermal or reset_thermal_spc_or_pciesw. In case shutdown_unlock is not set 1, the only way to release ASIC from locking - is full system power cycle through the external power distribution unit. Default is 1.

/sys/firmware/efi/vars

Defined on file sysfs-firmware-efi-vars

This directory exposes interfaces for interactive with EFI variables. For more information on EFI variables, see ‘Variable Services’ in the UEFI specification (section 7.2 in specification version 2.3 Errata D).

In summary, EFI variables are named, and are classified into separate namespaces through the use of a vendor GUID. They also have an arbitrary binary value associated with them.

The efivars module enumerates these variables and creates a separate directory for each one found. Each directory has a name of the form “<key>-<vendor guid>” and contains the following files:

attributes:

A read-only text file enumerating the EFI variable flags. Potential values include:

EFI_VARIABLE_NON_VOLATILE EFI_VARIABLE_BOOTSERVICE_ACCESS EFI_VARIABLE_RUNTIME_ACCESS EFI_VARIABLE_HARDWARE_ERROR_RECORD EFI_VARIABLE_AUTHENTICATED_WRITE_ACCESS

See the EFI documentation for an explanation of each of these variables.

data:

A read-only binary file that can be read to attain the value of the EFI variable

guid:

The vendor GUID of the variable. This should always match the GUID in the variable’s name.

raw_var:

A binary file that can be read to obtain a structure that contains everything there is to know about the variable. For structure definition see “struct efi_variable” in the kernel sources.

This file can also be written to in order to update the value of a variable. For this to work however, all fields of the “struct efi_variable” passed must match byte for byte with the structure read out of the file, save for the value portion.

Note the efi_variable structure read/written with this file contains a ‘long’ type that may change widths depending on your underlying architecture.

size:

As ASCII representation of the size of the variable’s value.

In addition, two other magic binary files are provided in the top-level directory and are used for adding and removing variables:

new_var:

Takes a “struct efi_variable” and instructs the EFI firmware to create a new variable.

del_var:

Takes a “struct efi_variable” and instructs the EFI firmware to remove any variable that has a matching vendor GUID and variable key name.

/sys/firmware/opal/dump

Defined on file sysfs-firmware-opal-dump

This directory exposes interfaces for interacting with the FSP and platform dumps through OPAL firmware interface.

This is only for the powerpc/powernv platform.

initiate_dump:

When ‘1’ is written to it, we will initiate a dump. Read this file for supported commands.

0xXX-0xYYYY:

A directory for dump of type 0xXX and id 0xYYYY (in hex). The name of this directory should not be relied upon to be in this format, only that it’s unique among all dumps. For determining the type and ID of the dump, use the id and type files. Do not rely on any particular size of dump type or dump id.

Each dump has the following files:

id:

An ASCII representation of the dump ID in hex (e.g. ‘0x01’)

type:

An ASCII representation of the type of dump in the format “0x%x %s” with the ID in hex and a description of the dump type (or ‘unknown’). Type ‘0xffffffff unknown’ is used when we could not get the type from firmware. e.g. ‘0x02 System/Platform Dump’

dump:

A binary file containing the dump. The size of the dump is the size of this file.

acknowledge:

When ‘ack’ is written to this, we will acknowledge that we’ve retrieved the dump to the service processor. It will then remove it, making the dump inaccessible. Reading this file will get a list of supported actions.

/sys/firmware/opal/elog

Defined on file sysfs-firmware-opal-elog

This directory exposes error log entries retrieved through the OPAL firmware interface.

Each error log is identified by a unique ID and will exist until explicitly acknowledged to firmware.

Each log entry has a directory in /sys/firmware/opal/elog.

Log entries may be purged by the service processor before retrieved by firmware or retrieved/acknowledged by Linux if there is no room for more log entries.

In the event that Linux has retrieved the log entries but not explicitly acknowledged them to firmware and the service processor needs more room for log entries, the only remaining copy of a log message may be in Linux.

Typically, a user space daemon will monitor for new entries, read them out and acknowledge them.

The service processor may be able to store more log entries than firmware can, so after you acknowledge an event from Linux you may instantly get another one from the queue that was generated some time in the past.

The raw log format is a binary format. We currently do not parse this at all in kernel, leaving it up to user space to solve the problem. In future, we may do more parsing in kernel and add more files to make it easier for simple user space processes to extract more information.

For each log entry (directory), there are the following files:

id:

An ASCII representation of the ID of the error log, in hex - e.g. “0x01”.

type:

An ASCII representation of the type id and description of the type of error log. Currently just “0x00 PEL” - platform error log. In the future there may be additional types.

raw:

A read-only binary file that can be read to get the raw log entry. These are <16kb, often just hundreds of bytes and “average” 2kb.

acknowledge:

Writing ‘ack’ to this file will acknowledge the error log to firmware (and in turn the service processor, if applicable). Shortly after acknowledging it, the log entry will be removed from sysfs. Reading this file will list the supported operations (currently just acknowledge).

Defined on file sysfs-fs-orangefs

Length of perf counter intervals in seconds.

/sys/fs/orangefs/slot_timeout_secs

Defined on file sysfs-fs-orangefs

“Slot” timeout in seconds. A “slot” is an indexed buffer in the shared memory segment used for communication between the kernel module and userspace. Slots are requested and waited for, the wait times out after slot_timeout_secs.

Symbols under /sys/kernel

/sys/kernel/notes

Defined on file sysfs-kernel-notes

The /sys/kernel/notes file contains the binary representation of the running vmlinux’s .notes section.

Symbols under /sys/module

/sys/module/<MODULENAME>

Defined on file sysfs-module

The name of the module that is in the kernel. This module name will always show up if the module is loaded as a dynamic module. If it is built directly into the kernel, it will only show up if it has a version or at least one parameter.

Note: The conditions of creation in the built-in case are not by design and may be removed in the future.

/sys/module/<MODULENAME>/parameters

Defined on file sysfs-module

This directory contains individual files that are each individual parameters of the module that are able to be changed at runtime. See the individual module documentation as to the contents of these parameters and what they accomplish.

Note: The individual parameter names and values are not considered stable, only the fact that they will be placed in this location within sysfs. See the individual driver documentation for details as to the stability of the different parameters.

/sys/module/<MODULENAME>/refcnt

Defined on file sysfs-module

If the module is able to be unloaded from the kernel, this file will contain the current reference count of the module.

Note: If the module is built into the kernel, or if the CONFIG_MODULE_UNLOAD kernel configuration value is not enabled, this file will not be present.

/sys/module/<MODULENAME>/srcversion

Defined on file sysfs-module

If the module source has MODULE_VERSION, this file will contain the checksum of the the source code.

/sys/module/<MODULENAME>/version

Defined on file sysfs-module

If the module source has MODULE_VERSION, this file will contain the version of the source code.

Audit Login Session ID

Audit Login Session ID

Defined on file procfs-audit_loginuid

The /proc/$pid/sessionid pseudofile is read to get the audit login session ID of process $pid as a decimal unsigned int (%u, u32). It is set automatically, serially assigned with each new login.

Users: audit and login applications

Audit Login UID

Audit Login UID

Defined on file procfs-audit_loginuid

The /proc/$pid/loginuid pseudofile is written to set and read to get the audit login UID of process $pid as a decimal unsigned int (%u, u32). If it is unset, permissions are not needed to set it. The accessor must have CAP_AUDIT_CONTROL in the initial user namespace to write it if it has been set. It cannot be written again if AUDIT_FEATURE_LOGINUID_IMMUTABLE is enabled. It cannot be unset if AUDIT_FEATURE_ONLY_UNSET_LOGINUID is enabled.

Users: audit and login applications

The kernel syscall interface

The kernel syscall interface

Defined on file syscalls

This interface matches much of the POSIX interface and is based on it and other Unix based interfaces. It will only be added to over time, and not have things removed from it.

Note that this interface is different for every architecture that Linux supports. Please see the architecture-specific documentation for details on the syscall numbers that are to be mapped to each syscall.

vDSO

vDSO

Defined on file vdso

On some architectures, when the kernel loads any userspace program it maps an ELF DSO into that program’s address space. This DSO is called the vDSO and it often contains useful and highly-optimized alternatives to real syscalls.

These functions are called just like ordinary C function according to your platform’s ABI. Call them from a sensible context. (For example, if you set CS on x86 to something strange, the vDSO functions are within their rights to crash.) In addition, if you pass a bad pointer to a vDSO function, you might get SIGSEGV instead of -EFAULT.

To find the DSO, parse the auxiliary vector passed to the program’s entry point. The AT_SYSINFO_EHDR entry will point to the vDSO.

The vDSO uses symbol versioning; whenever you request a symbol from the vDSO, specify the version you are expecting.

Programs that dynamically link to glibc will use the vDSO automatically. Otherwise, you can use the reference parser in tools/testing/selftests/vDSO/parse_vdso.c.

Unless otherwise noted, the set of symbols with any given version and the ABI of those symbols is considered stable. It may vary across architectures, though.

Note:

As of this writing, this ABI documentation as been confirmed for x86_64. The maintainers of the other vDSO-using architectures should confirm that it is correct for their architecture.
