+
+ 3. The CM writes the host name, supported band groups,
+ and the CHID (host ID) into the wusb_host_name,
+ wusb_host_band_groups and wusb_chid files. These
+ get sent to the device and the CDID (if any) for
+ this host is requested.
+
+ 4. The CM can verify that the device's supported band
+ groups (wusb_device_band_groups) are compatible
+ with the host.
+
+ 5. The CM reads the wusb_cdid file.
+
+ 6. The CM looks it up its database.
+
+ - If it has a matching CHID,CDID entry, the device
+ has been authorized before and nothing further
+ needs to be done.
+
+ - If the CDID is zero (or the CM doesn't find a
+ matching CDID in its database), the device is
+ assumed to be not known. The CM may associate
+ the host with device by: writing a randomly
+ generated CDID to wusb_cdid and then a random CK
+ to wusb_ck (this uploads the new CC to the
+ device).
+
+ CMD may choose to prompt the user before
+ associating with a new device.

+ Recipe for getting/building/running Xen/ia64 with pv_ops
+ --------------------------------------------------------
+
+This recipe describes how to get xen-ia64 source and build it,
+and run domU with pv_ops.
+
+============
+Requirements
+============
+
+ - python
+ - mercurial
+ it (aka "hg") is an open-source source code
+ management software. See the below.
+ http://www.selenic.com/mercurial/wiki/
+ - git
+ - bridge-utils
+
+=================================
+Getting and Building Xen and Dom0
+=================================
+
+ My environment is;
+ Machine : Tiger4
+ Domain0 OS : RHEL5
+ DomainU OS : RHEL5
+
+ 1. Download source
+ # hg clone http://xenbits.xensource.com/ext/ia64/xen-unstable.hg
+ # cd xen-unstable.hg
+ # hg clone http://xenbits.xensource.com/ext/ia64/linux-2.6.18-xen.hg
+
+ 2. # make world
+
+ 3. # make install-tools
+
+ 4. copy kernels and xen
+ # cp xen/xen.gz /boot/efi/efi/redhat/
+ # cp build-linux-2.6.18-xen_ia64/vmlinux.gz \
+ /boot/efi/efi/redhat/vmlinuz-2.6.18.8-xen
+
+ 5. make initrd for Dom0/DomU
+ # make -C linux-2.6.18-xen.hg ARCH=ia64 modules_install \
+ O=$(/bin/pwd)/build-linux-2.6.18-xen_ia64
+ # mkinitrd -f /boot/efi/efi/redhat/initrd-2.6.18.8-xen.img \
+ 2.6.18.8-xen --builtin mptspi --builtin mptbase \
+ --builtin mptscsih --builtin uhci-hcd --builtin ohci-hcd \
+ --builtin ehci-hcd
+
+================================
+Making a disk image for guest OS
+================================
+
+ 1. make file
+ # dd if=/dev/zero of=/root/rhel5.img bs=1M seek=4096 count=0
+ # mke2fs -F -j /root/rhel5.img
+ # mount -o loop /root/rhel5.img /mnt
+ # cp -ax /{dev,var,etc,usr,bin,sbin,lib} /mnt
+ # mkdir /mnt/{root,proc,sys,home,tmp}
+
+ Note: You may miss some device files. If so, please create them
+ with mknod. Or you can use tar instead of cp.
+
+ 2. modify DomU's fstab
+ # vi /mnt/etc/fstab
+ /dev/xvda1 / ext3 defaults 1 1
+ none /dev/pts devpts gid=5,mode=620 0 0
+ none /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0
+ none /proc proc defaults 0 0
+ none /sys sysfs defaults 0 0
+
+ 3. modify inittab
+ set runlevel to 3 to avoid X trying to start
+ # vi /mnt/etc/inittab
+ id:3:initdefault:
+ Start a getty on the hvc0 console
+ X0:2345:respawn:/sbin/mingetty hvc0
+ tty1-6 mingetty can be commented out
+
+ 4. add hvc0 into /etc/securetty
+ # vi /mnt/etc/securetty (add hvc0)
+
+ 5. umount
+ # umount /mnt
+
+FYI, virt-manager can also make a disk image for guest OS.
+It's GUI tools and easy to make it.
+
+==================
+Boot Xen & Domain0
+==================
+
+ 1. replace elilo
+ elilo of RHEL5 can boot Xen and Dom0.
+ If you use old elilo (e.g RHEL4), please download from the below
+ http://elilo.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/blosxom
+ and copy into /boot/efi/efi/redhat/
+ # cp elilo-3.6-ia64.efi /boot/efi/efi/redhat/elilo.efi
+
+ 2. modify elilo.conf (like the below)
+ # vi /boot/efi/efi/redhat/elilo.conf
+ prompt
+ timeout=20
+ default=xen
+ relocatable
+
+ image=vmlinuz-2.6.18.8-xen
+ label=xen
+ vmm=xen.gz
+ initrd=initrd-2.6.18.8-xen.img
+ read-only
+ append=" -- rhgb root=/dev/sda2"
+
+The append options before "--" are for xen hypervisor,
+the options after "--" are for dom0.
+
+FYI, your machine may need console options like
+"com1=19200,8n1 console=vga,com1". For example,
+append="com1=19200,8n1 console=vga,com1 -- rhgb console=tty0 \
+console=ttyS0 root=/dev/sda2"
+
+=====================================
+Getting and Building domU with pv_ops
+=====================================
+
+ 1. get pv_ops tree
+ # git clone http://people.valinux.co.jp/~yamahata/xen-ia64/linux-2.6-xen-ia64.git/
+
+ 2. git branch (if necessary)
+ # cd linux-2.6-xen-ia64/
+ # git checkout -b your_branch origin/xen-ia64-domu-minimal-2008may19
+ (Note: The current branch is xen-ia64-domu-minimal-2008may19.
+ But you would find the new branch. You can see with
+ "git branch -r" to get the branch lists.
+ http://people.valinux.co.jp/~yamahata/xen-ia64/for_eagl/linux-2.6-ia64-pv-ops.git/
+ is also available. The tree is based on
+ git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/aegl/linux-2.6 test)
+
+
+ 3. copy .config for pv_ops of domU
+ # cp arch/ia64/configs/xen_domu_wip_defconfig .config
+
+ 4. make kernel with pv_ops
+ # make oldconfig
+ # make
+
+ 5. install the kernel and initrd
+ # cp vmlinux.gz /boot/efi/efi/redhat/vmlinuz-2.6-pv_ops-xenU
+ # make modules_install
+ # mkinitrd -f /boot/efi/efi/redhat/initrd-2.6-pv_ops-xenU.img \
+ 2.6.26-rc3xen-ia64-08941-g1b12161 --builtin mptspi \
+ --builtin mptbase --builtin mptscsih --builtin uhci-hcd \
+ --builtin ohci-hcd --builtin ehci-hcd
+
+========================
+Boot DomainU with pv_ops
+========================
+
+ 1. make config of DomU
+ # vi /etc/xen/rhel5
+ kernel = "/boot/efi/efi/redhat/vmlinuz-2.6-pv_ops-xenU"
+ ramdisk = "/boot/efi/efi/redhat/initrd-2.6-pv_ops-xenU.img"
+ vcpus = 1
+ memory = 512
+ name = "rhel5"
+ disk = [ 'file:/root/rhel5.img,xvda1,w' ]
+ root = "/dev/xvda1 ro"
+ extra= "rhgb console=hvc0"
+
+ 2. After boot xen and dom0, start xend
+ # /etc/init.d/xend start
+ ( In the debugging case, # XEND_DEBUG=1 xend trace_start )
+
+ 3. start domU
+ # xm create -c rhel5

+
+ Introduction
+
+UWB is a wide-band communication protocol that is to serve also as the
+low-level protocol for others (much like TCP sits on IP). Currently
+these others are Wireless USB and TCP/IP, but seems Bluetooth and
+Firewire/1394 are coming along.
+
+UWB uses a band from roughly 3 to 10 GHz, transmitting at a max of
+~-41dB (or 0.074 uW/MHz--geography specific data is still being
+negotiated w/ regulators, so watch for changes). That band is divided in
+a bunch of ~1.5 GHz wide channels (or band groups) composed of three
+subbands/subchannels (528 MHz each). Each channel is independent of each
+other, so you could consider them different "busses". Initially this
+driver considers them all a single one.
+
+Radio time is divided in 65536 us long /superframes/, each one divided
+in 256 256us long /MASs/ (Media Allocation Slots), which are the basic
+time/media allocation units for transferring data. At the beginning of
+each superframe there is a Beacon Period (BP), where every device
+transmit its beacon on a single MAS. The length of the BP depends on how
+many devices are present and the length of their beacons.
+
+Devices have a MAC (fixed, 48 bit address) and a device (changeable, 16
+bit address) and send periodic beacons to advertise themselves and pass
+info on what they are and do. They advertise their capabilities and a
+bunch of other stuff.
+
+The different logical parts of this driver are:
+
+ *
+
+ *UWB*: the Ultra-Wide-Band stack -- manages the radio and
+ associated spectrum to allow for devices sharing it. Allows to
+ control bandwidth assingment, beaconing, scanning, etc
+
+ *
+
+ *WUSB*: the layer that sits on top of UWB to provide Wireless USB.
+ The Wireless USB spec defines means to control a UWB radio and to
+ do the actual WUSB.
+
+
+ HWA: Host Wire adapters, your Wireless USB dongle
+
+WUSB also defines a device called a Host Wire Adaptor (HWA), which in
+mere terms is a USB dongle that enables your PC to have UWB and Wireless
+USB. The Wireless USB Host Controller in a HWA looks to the host like a
+[Wireless] USB controller connected via USB (!)
+
+The HWA itself is broken in two or three main interfaces:
+
+ *
+
+ *RC*: Radio control -- this implements an interface to the
+ Ultra-Wide-Band radio controller. The driver for this implements a
+ USB-based UWB Radio Controller to the UWB stack.
+
+ *
+
+ *HC*: the wireless USB host controller. It looks like a USB host
+ whose root port is the radio and the WUSB devices connect to it.
+ To the system it looks like a separate USB host. The driver (will)
+ implement a USB host controller (similar to UHCI, OHCI or EHCI)
+ for which the root hub is the radio...To reiterate: it is a USB
+ controller that is connected via USB instead of PCI.
+
+ *
+
+ *WINET*: some HW provide a WiNET interface (IP over UWB). This
+ package provides a driver for it (it looks like a network
+ interface, winetX). The driver detects when there is a link up for
+ their type and kick into gear.
+
+
+ DWA: Device Wired Adaptor, a Wireless USB hub for wired devices
+
+These are the complement to HWAs. They are a USB host for connecting
+wired devices, but it is connected to your PC connected via Wireless
+USB. To the system it looks like yet another USB host. To the untrained
+eye, it looks like a hub that connects upstream wirelessly.
+
+We still offer no support for this; however, it should share a lot of
+code with the HWA-RC driver; there is a bunch of factorization work that
+has been done to support that in upcoming releases.
+
+
+ WHCI: Wireless Host Controller Interface, the PCI WUSB host adapter
+
+This is your usual PCI device that implements WHCI. Similar in concept
+to EHCI, it allows your wireless USB devices (including DWAs) to connect
+to your host via a PCI interface. As in the case of the HWA, it has a
+Radio Control interface and the WUSB Host Controller interface per se.
+
+There is still no driver support for this, but will be in upcoming
+releases.
+
+
+ The UWB stack
+
+The main mission of the UWB stack is to keep a tally of which devices
+are in radio proximity to allow drivers to connect to them. As well, it
+provides an API for controlling the local radio controllers (RCs from
+now on), such as to start/stop beaconing, scan, allocate bandwidth, etc.
+
+
+ Devices and hosts: the basic structure
+
+The main building block here is the UWB device (struct uwb_dev). For
+each device that pops up in radio presence (ie: the UWB host receives a
+beacon from it) you get a struct uwb_dev that will show up in
+/sys/class/uwb and in /sys/bus/uwb/devices.
+
+For each RC that is detected, a new struct uwb_rc is created. In turn, a
+RC is also a device, so they also show in /sys/class/uwb and
+/sys/bus/uwb/devices, but at the same time, only radio controllers show
+up in /sys/class/uwb_rc.
+
+ *
+
+ [*] The reason for RCs being also devices is that not only we can
+ see them while enumerating the system device tree, but also on the
+ radio (their beacons and stuff), so the handling has to be
+ likewise to that of a device.
+
+Each RC driver is implemented by a separate driver that plugs into the
+interface that the UWB stack provides through a struct uwb_rc_ops. The
+spec creators have been nice enough to make the message format the same
+for HWA and WHCI RCs, so the driver is really a very thin transport that
+moves the requests from the UWB API to the device [/uwb_rc_ops->cmd()/]
+and sends the replies and notifications back to the API
+[/uwb_rc_neh_grok()/]. Notifications are handled to the UWB daemon, that
+is chartered, among other things, to keep the tab of how the UWB radio
+neighborhood looks, creating and destroying devices as they show up or
+dissapear.
+
+Command execution is very simple: a command block is sent and a event
+block or reply is expected back. For sending/receiving command/events, a
+handle called /neh/ (Notification/Event Handle) is opened with
+/uwb_rc_neh_open()/.
+
+The HWA-RC (USB dongle) driver (drivers/uwb/hwa-rc.c) does this job for
+the USB connected HWA. Eventually, drivers/whci-rc.c will do the same
+for the PCI connected WHCI controller.
+
+
+ Host Controller life cycle
+
+So let's say we connect a dongle to the system: it is detected and
+firmware uploaded if needed [for Intel's i1480
+/drivers/uwb/ptc/usb.c:ptc_usb_probe()/] and then it is reenumerated.
+Now we have a real HWA device connected and
+/drivers/uwb/hwa-rc.c:hwarc_probe()/ picks it up, that will set up the
+Wire-Adaptor environment and then suck it into the UWB stack's vision of
+the world [/drivers/uwb/lc-rc.c:uwb_rc_add()/].
+
+ *
+
+ [*] The stack should put a new RC to scan for devices
+ [/uwb_rc_scan()/] so it finds what's available around and tries to
+ connect to them, but this is policy stuff and should be driven
+ from user space. As of now, the operator is expected to do it
+ manually; see the release notes for documentation on the procedure.
+
+When a dongle is disconnected, /drivers/uwb/hwa-rc.c:hwarc_disconnect()/
+takes time of tearing everything down safely (or not...).
+
+
+ On the air: beacons and enumerating the radio neighborhood
+
+So assuming we have devices and we have agreed for a channel to connect
+on (let's say 9), we put the new RC to beacon:
+
+ *
+
+ $ echo 9 0 > /sys/class/uwb_rc/uwb0/beacon
+
+Now it is visible. If there were other devices in the same radio channel
+and beacon group (that's what the zero is for), the dongle's radio
+control interface will send beacon notifications on its
+notification/event endpoint (NEEP). The beacon notifications are part of
+the event stream that is funneled into the API with
+/drivers/uwb/neh.c:uwb_rc_neh_grok()/ and delivered to the UWBD, the UWB
+daemon through a notification list.
+
+UWBD wakes up and scans the event list; finds a beacon and adds it to
+the BEACON CACHE (/uwb_beca/). If he receives a number of beacons from
+the same device, he considers it to be 'onair' and creates a new device
+[/drivers/uwb/lc-dev.c:uwbd_dev_onair()/]. Similarly, when no beacons
+are received in some time, the device is considered gone and wiped out
+[uwbd calls periodically /uwb/beacon.c:uwb_beca_purge()/ that will purge
+the beacon cache of dead devices].
+
+
+ Device lists
+
+All UWB devices are kept in the list of the struct bus_type uwb_bus.
+
+
+ Bandwidth allocation
+
+The UWB stack maintains a local copy of DRP availability through
+processing of incoming *DRP Availability Change* notifications. This
+local copy is currently used to present the current bandwidth
+availability to the user through the sysfs file
+/sys/class/uwb_rc/uwbx/bw_avail. In the future the bandwidth
+availability information will be used by the bandwidth reservation
+routines.
+
+The bandwidth reservation routines are in progress and are thus not
+present in the current release. When completed they will enable a user
+to initiate DRP reservation requests through interaction with sysfs. DRP
+reservation requests from remote UWB devices will also be handled. The
+bandwidth management done by the UWB stack will include callbacks to the
+higher layers will enable the higher layers to use the reservations upon
+completion. [Note: The bandwidth reservation work is in progress and
+subject to change.]
+
+
+ Wireless USB Host Controller drivers
+
+*WARNING* This section needs a lot of work!
+
+As explained above, there are three different types of HCs in the WUSB
+world: HWA-HC, DWA-HC and WHCI-HC.
+
+HWA-HC and DWA-HC share that they are Wire-Adapters (USB or WUSB
+connected controllers), and their transfer management system is almost
+identical. So is their notification delivery system.
+
+HWA-HC and WHCI-HC share that they are both WUSB host controllers, so
+they have to deal with WUSB device life cycle and maintenance, wireless
+root-hub
+
+HWA exposes a Host Controller interface (HWA-HC 0xe0/02/02). This has
+three endpoints (Notifications, Data Transfer In and Data Transfer
+Out--known as NEP, DTI and DTO in the code).
+
+We reserve UWB bandwidth for our Wireless USB Cluster, create a Cluster
+ID and tell the HC to use all that. Then we start it. This means the HC
+starts sending MMCs.
+
+ *
+
+ The MMCs are blocks of data defined somewhere in the WUSB1.0 spec
+ that define a stream in the UWB channel time allocated for sending
+ WUSB IEs (host to device commands/notifications) and Device
+ Notifications (device initiated to host). Each host defines a
+ unique Wireless USB cluster through MMCs. Devices can connect to a
+ single cluster at the time. The IEs are Information Elements, and
+ among them are the bandwidth allocations that tell each device
+ when can they transmit or receive.
+
+Now it all depends on external stimuli.
+
+*New device connection*
+
+A new device pops up, it scans the radio looking for MMCs that give out
+the existence of Wireless USB channels. Once one (or more) are found,
+selects which one to connect to. Sends a /DN_Connect/ (device
+notification connect) during the DNTS (Device Notification Time
+Slot--announced in the MMCs
+
+HC picks the /DN_Connect/ out (nep module sends to notif.c for delivery
+into /devconnect/). This process starts the authentication process for
+the device. First we allocate a /fake port/ and assign an
+unauthenticated address (128 to 255--what we really do is
+0x80 | fake_port_idx). We fiddle with the fake port status and /khubd/
+sees a new connection, so he moves on to enable the fake port with a reset.
+
+So now we are in the reset path -- we know we have a non-yet enumerated
+device with an unauthorized address; we ask user space to authenticate
+(FIXME: not yet done, similar to bluetooth pairing), then we do the key
+exchange (FIXME: not yet done) and issue a /set address 0/ to bring the
+device to the default state. Device is authenticated.
+
+From here, the USB stack takes control through the usb_hcd ops. khubd
+has seen the port status changes, as we have been toggling them. It will
+start enumerating and doing transfers through usb_hcd->urb_enqueue() to
+read descriptors and move our data.
+
+*Device life cycle and keep alives*
+
+Everytime there is a succesful transfer to/from a device, we update a
+per-device activity timestamp. If not, every now and then we check and
+if the activity timestamp gets old, we ping the device by sending it a
+Keep Alive IE; it responds with a /DN_Alive/ pong during the DNTS (this
+arrives to us as a notification through
+devconnect.c:wusb_handle_dn_alive(). If a device times out, we
+disconnect it from the system (cleaning up internal information and
+toggling the bits in the fake hub port, which kicks khubd into removing
+the rest of the stuff).
+
+This is done through devconnect:__wusb_check_devs(), which will scan the
+device list looking for whom needs refreshing.
+
+If the device wants to disconnect, it will either die (ugly) or send a
+/DN_Disconnect/ that will prompt a disconnection from the system.
+
+*Sending and receiving data*
+
+Data is sent and received through /Remote Pipes/ (rpipes). An rpipe is
+/aimed/ at an endpoint in a WUSB device. This is the same for HWAs and
+DWAs.
+
+Each HC has a number of rpipes and buffers that can be assigned to them;
+when doing a data transfer (xfer), first the rpipe has to be aimed and
+prepared (buffers assigned), then we can start queueing requests for
+data in or out.
+
+Data buffers have to be segmented out before sending--so we send first a
+header (segment request) and then if there is any data, a data buffer
+immediately after to the DTI interface (yep, even the request). If our
+buffer is bigger than the max segment size, then we just do multiple
+requests.
+
+[This sucks, because doing USB scatter gatter in Linux is resource
+intensive, if any...not that the current approach is not. It just has to
+be cleaned up a lot :)].
+
+If reading, we don't send data buffers, just the segment headers saying
+we want to read segments.
+
+When the xfer is executed, we receive a notification that says data is
+ready in the DTI endpoint (handled through
+xfer.c:wa_handle_notif_xfer()). In there we read from the DTI endpoint a
+descriptor that gives us the status of the transfer, its identification
+(given when we issued it) and the segment number. If it was a data read,
+we issue another URB to read into the destination buffer the chunk of
+data coming out of the remote endpoint. Done, wait for the next guy. The
+callbacks for the URBs issued from here are the ones that will declare
+the xfer complete at some point and call it's callback.
+
+Seems simple, but the implementation is not trivial.
+
+ *
+
+ *WARNING* Old!!
+
+The main xfer descriptor, wa_xfer (equivalent to a URB) contains an
+array of segments, tallys on segments and buffers and callback
+information. Buried in there is a lot of URBs for executing the segments
+and buffer transfers.
+
+For OUT xfers, there is an array of segments, one URB for each, another
+one of buffer URB. When submitting, we submit URBs for segment request
+1, buffer 1, segment 2, buffer 2...etc. Then we wait on the DTI for xfer
+result data; when all the segments are complete, we call the callback to
+finalize the transfer.
+
+For IN xfers, we only issue URBs for the segments we want to read and
+then wait for the xfer result data.
+
+*URB mapping into xfers*
+
+This is done by hwahc_op_urb_[en|de]queue(). In enqueue() we aim an
+rpipe to the endpoint where we have to transmit, create a transfer
+context (wa_xfer) and submit it. When the xfer is done, our callback is
+called and we assign the status bits and release the xfer resources.
+
+In dequeue() we are basically cancelling/aborting the transfer. We issue
+a xfer abort request to the HC, cancell all the URBs we had submitted
+and not yet done and when all that is done, the xfer callback will be
+called--this will call the URB callback.
