Add the rt linux 4.1.3-rt3 as base
Import the rt linux 4.1.3-rt3 as OPNFV kvm base.
It's from git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rt/linux-rt-devel.git linux-4.1.y-rt and
the base is:
commit 0917f823c59692d751951bf5ea699a2d1e2f26a2
Author: Sebastian Andrzej Siewior <bigeasy@linutronix.de>

Prepare v4.1.3-rt3
Signed-off-by: Sebastian Andrzej Siewior <bigeasy@linutronix.de>
We lose all the git history this way and it's not good. We
should apply another opnfv project repo in future.

One reply is generated exactly for one w1_netlink_cmd +read request. Replies are not combined when sent - i.e. typical reply +messages looks like the following: + +[cn_msg][w1_netlink_msg][w1_netlink_cmd] +cn_msg.len = sizeof(struct w1_netlink_msg) + + sizeof(struct w1_netlink_cmd) + + cmd->len; +w1_netlink_msg.len = sizeof(struct w1_netlink_cmd) + cmd->len; +w1_netlink_cmd.len = cmd->len; + +Replies to W1_LIST_MASTERS should send a message back to the userspace +which will contain list of all registered master ids in the following +format: + + cn_msg (CN_W1_IDX.CN_W1_VAL as id, len is equal to sizeof(struct + w1_netlink_msg) plus number of masters multiplied by 4) + w1_netlink_msg (type: W1_LIST_MASTERS, len is equal to + number of masters multiplied by 4 (u32 size)) + id0 ... idN + + Each message is at most 4k in size, so if number of master devices + exceeds this, it will be split into several messages. + +W1 search and alarm search commands. +request: +[cn_msg] + [w1_netlink_msg type = W1_MASTER_CMD + id is equal to the bus master id to use for searching] + [w1_netlink_cmd cmd = W1_CMD_SEARCH or W1_CMD_ALARM_SEARCH] + +reply: + [cn_msg, ack = 1 and increasing, 0 means the last message, + seq is equal to the request seq] + [w1_netlink_msg type = W1_MASTER_CMD] + [w1_netlink_cmd cmd = W1_CMD_SEARCH or W1_CMD_ALARM_SEARCH + len is equal to number of IDs multiplied by 8] + [64bit-id0 ... 64bit-idN] +Length in each header corresponds to the size of the data behind it, so +w1_netlink_cmd->len = N * 8; where N is number of IDs in this message. + Can be zero. +w1_netlink_msg->len = sizeof(struct w1_netlink_cmd) + N * 8; +cn_msg->len = sizeof(struct w1_netlink_msg) + + sizeof(struct w1_netlink_cmd) + + N*8; + +W1 reset command. +[cn_msg] + [w1_netlink_msg type = W1_MASTER_CMD + id is equal to the bus master id to use for searching] + [w1_netlink_cmd cmd = W1_CMD_RESET] + + +Command status replies. +====================== + +Each command (either root, master or slave with or without w1_netlink_cmd +structure) will be 'acked' by the w1 core. Format of the reply is the same +as request message except that length parameters do not account for data +requested by the user, i.e. read/write/touch IO requests will not contain +data, so w1_netlink_cmd.len will be 0, w1_netlink_msg.len will be size +of the w1_netlink_cmd structure and cn_msg.len will be equal to the sum +of the sizeof(struct w1_netlink_msg) and sizeof(struct w1_netlink_cmd). +If reply is generated for master or root command (which do not have +w1_netlink_cmd attached), reply will contain only cn_msg and w1_netlink_msg +structures. + +w1_netlink_msg.status field will carry positive error value +(EINVAL for example) or zero in case of success. + +All other fields in every structure will mirror the same parameters in the +request message (except lengths as described above). + +Status reply is generated for every w1_netlink_cmd embedded in the +w1_netlink_msg, if there are no w1_netlink_cmd structures, +reply will be generated for the w1_netlink_msg. + +All w1_netlink_cmd command structures are handled in every w1_netlink_msg, +even if there were errors, only length mismatch interrupts message processing. + + +Operation steps in w1 core when new command is received. +======================================================= + +When new message (w1_netlink_msg) is received w1 core detects if it is +master or slave request, according to w1_netlink_msg.type field. +Then master or slave device is searched for. +When found, master device (requested or those one on where slave device +is found) is locked. If slave command is requested, then reset/select +procedure is started to select given device. + +Then all requested in w1_netlink_msg operations are performed one by one. +If command requires reply (like read command) it is sent on command completion. + +When all commands (w1_netlink_cmd) are processed master device is unlocked +and next w1_netlink_msg header processing started. + + +Connector [1] specific documentation. +==================================== + +Each connector message includes two u32 fields as "address". +w1 uses CN_W1_IDX and CN_W1_VAL defined in include/linux/connector.h header. +Each message also includes sequence and acknowledge numbers. +Sequence number for event messages is appropriate bus master sequence number +increased with each event message sent "through" this master. +Sequence number for userspace requests is set by userspace application. +Sequence number for reply is the same as was in request, and +acknowledge number is set to seq+1. + + +Additional documantion, source code examples. +============================================ + +1.
