 ACPI
 ----
-ACPI does not support function names for GPIOs. Therefore, only the "idx"
-argument of gpiod_get_index() is useful to discriminate between GPIOs assigned
-to a device. The "con_id" argument can still be set for debugging purposes (it
-will appear under error messages as well as debug and sysfs nodes).
+ACPI also supports function names for GPIOs in a similar fashion to DT.

-Linux I2O User Space Interface
-rev 0.3 - 04/20/99
-
-=============================================================================
-Originally written by Deepak Saxena(deepak@plexity.net)
-Currently maintained by Deepak Saxena(deepak@plexity.net)
-=============================================================================
-
-I. Introduction
-
-The Linux I2O subsystem provides a set of ioctl() commands that can be
-utilized by user space applications to communicate with IOPs and devices
-on individual IOPs. This document defines the specific ioctl() commands
-that are available to the user and provides examples of their uses.
-
-This document assumes the reader is familiar with or has access to the
-I2O specification as no I2O message parameters are outlined.  For information
-on the specification, see http://www.i2osig.org
-
-This document and the I2O user space interface are currently maintained
-by Deepak Saxena.  Please send all comments, errata, and bug fixes to
-deepak@csociety.purdue.edu
-
-II. IOP Access
-
-Access to the I2O subsystem is provided through the device file named
-/dev/i2o/ctl.  This file is a character file with major number 10 and minor
-number 166.  It can be created through the following command:
-
-   mknod /dev/i2o/ctl c 10 166
-
-III. Determining the IOP Count
-
-   SYNOPSIS
-
-   ioctl(fd, I2OGETIOPS,  int *count);
-
-   u8 count[MAX_I2O_CONTROLLERS];
-
-   DESCRIPTION
-
-   This function returns the system's active IOP table.  count should
-   point to a buffer containing MAX_I2O_CONTROLLERS entries.  Upon
-   returning, each entry will contain a non-zero value if the given
-   IOP unit is active, and NULL if it is inactive or non-existent.
-
-   RETURN VALUE.
-
-   Returns 0 if no errors occur, and -1 otherwise.  If an error occurs,
-   errno is set appropriately:
-
-     EFAULT   Invalid user space pointer was passed
-
-IV. Getting Hardware Resource Table
-
-   SYNOPSIS
-
-   ioctl(fd, I2OHRTGET, struct i2o_cmd_hrt *hrt);
-
-      struct i2o_cmd_hrtlct
-      {
-         u32   iop;      /* IOP unit number */
-         void  *resbuf;  /* Buffer for result */
-         u32   *reslen;  /* Buffer length in bytes */
-      };
-
-   DESCRIPTION
-
-   This function returns the Hardware Resource Table of the IOP specified
-   by hrt->iop in the buffer pointed to by hrt->resbuf. The actual size of
-   the data is written into *(hrt->reslen).
-
-   RETURNS
-
-   This function returns 0 if no errors occur. If an error occurs, -1
-   is returned and errno is set appropriately:
-
-      EFAULT      Invalid user space pointer was passed
-      ENXIO       Invalid IOP number
-      ENOBUFS     Buffer not large enough.  If this occurs, the required
-                  buffer length is written into *(hrt->reslen)
-
-V. Getting Logical Configuration Table
-
-   SYNOPSIS
-
-   ioctl(fd, I2OLCTGET, struct i2o_cmd_lct *lct);
-
-      struct i2o_cmd_hrtlct
-      {
-         u32   iop;      /* IOP unit number */
-         void  *resbuf;  /* Buffer for result */
-         u32   *reslen;  /* Buffer length in bytes */
-      };
-
-   DESCRIPTION
-
-   This function returns the Logical Configuration Table of the IOP specified
-   by lct->iop in the buffer pointed to by lct->resbuf. The actual size of
-   the data is written into *(lct->reslen).
-
-   RETURNS
-
-   This function returns 0 if no errors occur. If an error occurs, -1
-   is returned and errno is set appropriately:
-
-      EFAULT      Invalid user space pointer was passed
-      ENXIO       Invalid IOP number
-      ENOBUFS     Buffer not large enough.  If this occurs, the required
-                  buffer length is written into *(lct->reslen)
-
-VI. Setting Parameters
-
-   SYNOPSIS
-
-   ioctl(fd, I2OPARMSET, struct i2o_parm_setget *ops);
-
-      struct i2o_cmd_psetget
-      {
-         u32   iop;      /* IOP unit number */
-         u32   tid;      /* Target device TID */

-         void  *resbuf;  /* Result List buffer */
-         u32   *reslen;  /* Result List buffer length in bytes */
-      };
-
-   DESCRIPTION
-
-   This function posts a UtilParamsSet message to the device identified
-   by ops->iop and ops->tid.  The operation list for the message is
-   sent through the ops->opbuf buffer, and the result list is written
-   into the buffer pointed to by ops->resbuf.  The number of bytes
-   written is placed into *(ops->reslen).
-
-   RETURNS
-
-   The return value is the size in bytes of the data written into
-   ops->resbuf if no errors occur.  If an error occurs, -1 is returned
-   and errno is set appropriately:
-
-      EFAULT      Invalid user space pointer was passed
-      ENXIO       Invalid IOP number
-      ENOBUFS     Buffer not large enough.  If this occurs, the required
-                  buffer length is written into *(ops->reslen)
-      ETIMEDOUT   Timeout waiting for reply message
-      ENOMEM      Kernel memory allocation error
-
-   A return value of 0 does not mean that the value was actually
-   changed properly on the IOP.  The user should check the result
-   list to determine the specific status of the transaction.

-      };
-
-   DESCRIPTION
-
-   This function posts an UtilConfigDialog message to the device identified
-   by htquery->iop and htquery->tid.  The requested HTML page number is
-   provided by the htquery->page field, and the resultant data is stored
-   in the buffer pointed to by htquery->resbuf.  If there is an HTTP query
-   string that is to be sent to the device, it should be sent in the buffer
-   pointed to by htquery->qbuf.  If there is no query string, this field
-   should be set to NULL. The actual size of the reply received is written
-   into *(htquery->reslen).
-
-   RETURNS
-
-   This function returns 0 if no error occur. If an error occurs, -1
-   is returned and errno is set appropriately:
-
-      EFAULT      Invalid user space pointer was passed
-      ENXIO       Invalid IOP number
-      ENOBUFS     Buffer not large enough.  If this occurs, the required
-                  buffer length is written into *(ops->reslen)
-      ETIMEDOUT   Timeout waiting for reply message
-      ENOMEM      Kernel memory allocation error
-
-XII. Events
-
-    In the process of determining this.  Current idea is to have use
-    the select() interface to allow user apps to periodically poll
-    the /dev/i2o/ctl device for events.  When select() notifies the user
-    that an event is available, the user would call read() to retrieve
-    a list of all the events that are pending for the specific device.

+以下为正文
+---------------------------------------------------------------------
+Linux 内核在 arm64 上的移植提供了一个基础框架，以支持构架中正在被淘汰或已废弃指令的模拟执行。
+这个基础框架的代码使用未定义指令钩子（hooks）来支持模拟。如果指令存在，它也允许在硬件中启用该指令。
+
+模拟模式可通过写 sysctl 节点（/proc/sys/abi）来控制。
+不同的执行方式及 sysctl 节点的相应值，解释如下：
+
+* Undef（未定义）
+  值： 0
+  产生未定义指令终止异常。它是那些构架中已废弃的指令，如 SWP，的默认处理方式。
+
+* Emulate（模拟）
+  值： 1
+  使用软件模拟方式。为解决软件迁移问题，这种模拟指令模式的使用是被跟踪的，并会发出速率限制警告。
+  它是那些构架中正在被淘汰的指令，如 CP15 barriers（隔离指令），的默认处理方式。
+
+* Hardware Execution（硬件执行）
+  值： 2
+  虽然标记为正在被淘汰，但一些实现可能提供硬件执行这些指令的使能/禁用操作。
+  使用硬件执行一般会有更好的性能，但将无法收集运行时对正被淘汰指令的使用统计数据。
+
+默认执行模式依赖于指令在构架中状态。正在被淘汰的指令应该以模拟（Emulate）作为默认模式，
+而已废弃的指令必须默认使用未定义（Undef）模式
+
+注意：指令模拟可能无法应对所有情况。更多详情请参考单独的指令注释。
+
+受支持的遗留指令
+-------------
+* SWP{B}
+节点: /proc/sys/abi/swp
+状态: 已废弃
+默认执行方式: Undef (0)
+
+* CP15 Barriers
+节点: /proc/sys/abi/cp15_barrier
+状态: 正被淘汰，不推荐使用
+默认执行方式: Emulate (1)
+
+* SETEND
+节点: /proc/sys/abi/setend
+状态: 正被淘汰，不推荐使用
+默认执行方式: Emulate (1)*
+注：为了使能这个特性，系统中的所有 CPU 必须在 EL0 支持混合字节序。
+如果一个新的 CPU （不支持混合字节序） 在使能这个特性后被热插入系统，
+在应用中可能会出现不可预期的结果。
