To execute a command, write data with the format: CC:N A A A A
CC is the (hex) command, N is the count of expected reply bytes, and A A A A
are optional (hex) arguments.

Error Detection
===============
errors:
- A u32 providing a total count of errors since the driver was loaded. The
only errors counted here are those returned from the hcall, H_COP_OP.
last_error:
- The most recent non-zero return code from the H_COP_OP hcall. -EBUSY is not
recorded here (the hcall will retry until -EBUSY goes away).
last_error_pid:
- The process ID of the process who received the most recent error from the
hcall.
Device Use
==========
aes_bytes:
- The total number of bytes encrypted using AES in any of the driver's
supported modes.
aes_ops:
- The total number of AES operations submitted to the hardware.
sha256_bytes:
- The total number of bytes hashed by the hardware using SHA-256.
sha256_ops:
- The total number of SHA-256 operations submitted to the hardware.
sha512_bytes:
- The total number of bytes hashed by the hardware using SHA-512.

What: /dev/kmsg
Date: Mai 2012
KernelVersion: 3.5
Contact: Kay Sievers <kay@vrfy.org>
Description: The /dev/kmsg character device node provides userspace access
to the kernel's printk buffer.
Injecting messages:
Every write() to the opened device node places a log entry in
the kernel's printk buffer.
The logged line can be prefixed with a <N> syslog prefix, which
carries the syslog priority and facility. The single decimal
prefix number is composed of the 3 lowest bits being the syslog
priority and the higher bits the syslog facility number.
If no prefix is given, the priority number is the default kernel
log priority and the facility number is set to LOG_USER (1). It
is not possible to inject messages from userspace with the
facility number LOG_KERN (0), to make sure that the origin of
the messages can always be reliably determined.
Accessing the buffer:
Every read() from the opened device node receives one record
of the kernel's printk buffer.
The first read() directly following an open() always returns
first message in the buffer; there is no kernel-internal
persistent state; many readers can concurrently open the device
and read from it, without affecting other readers.
Every read() will receive the next available record. If no more
records are available read() will block, or if O_NONBLOCK is
used -EAGAIN returned.
Messages in the record ring buffer get overwritten as whole,
there are never partial messages received by read().
In case messages get overwritten in the circular buffer while
the device is kept open, the next read() will return -EPIPE,
and the seek position be updated to the next available record.
Subsequent reads() will return available records again.
Unlike the classic syslog() interface, the 64 bit record
sequence numbers allow to calculate the amount of lost
messages, in case the buffer gets overwritten. And they allow
to reconnect to the buffer and reconstruct the read position
if needed, without limiting the interface to a single reader.
The device supports seek with the following parameters:
SEEK_SET, 0
seek to the first entry in the buffer
SEEK_END, 0
seek after the last entry in the buffer
SEEK_DATA, 0
seek after the last record available at the time
the last SYSLOG_ACTION_CLEAR was issued.
The output format consists of a prefix carrying the syslog
prefix including priority and facility, the 64 bit message
sequence number and the monotonic timestamp in microseconds.
The values are separated by a ','. Future extensions might
add more comma separated values before the terminating ';'.
Unknown values should be gracefully ignored.
The human readable text string starts directly after the ';'
and is terminated by a '\n'. Untrusted values derived from
hardware or other facilities are printed, therefore
all non-printable characters in the log message are escaped
by "\x00" C-style hex encoding.
A line starting with ' ', is a continuation line, adding
key/value pairs to the log message, which provide the machine
readable context of the message, for reliable processing in
userspace.
Example:

Description: 'FCoE FCF' instances on the fcoe bus. A FCF is a Fibre Channel
Forwarder, which is a FCoE switch that can accept FCoE
(Ethernet) packets, unpack them, and forward the embedded
Fibre Channel frames into a FC fabric. It can also take
outbound FC frames and pack them in Ethernet packets to
be sent to their destination on the Ethernet segment.
Attributes:
fabric_name: Identifies the fabric that the FCF services.
switch_name: Identifies the FCF.
priority: The switch's priority amongst other FCFs on the same
fabric.
selected: 1 indicates that the switch has been selected for use;
0 indicates that the swich will not be used.
fc_map: The Fibre Channel MAP
vfid: The Virtual Fabric ID
mac: The FCF's MAC address
fka_peroid: The FIP Keep-Alive peroid
fabric_state: The internal kernel state
"Unknown" - Initialization value
"Disconnected" - No link to the FCF/fabric
"Connected" - Host is connected to the FCF
"Deleted" - FCF is being removed from the system
dev_loss_tmo: The device loss timeout peroid for this FCF.
Notes: A device loss infrastructre similar to the FC Transport's
is present in fcoe_sysfs. It is nice to have so that a
link flapping adapter doesn't continually advance the count
used to identify the discovered FCF. FCFs will exist in a
"Disconnected" state until either the timer expires and the
FCF becomes "Deleted" or the FCF is rediscovered and becomes
"Connected."
Users: The first user of this interface will be the fcoeadm application,
which is commonly packaged in the fcoe-utils package.

Every rpmsg device is a communication channel with a remote
processor. Channels are identified by a textual name (see
/sys/bus/rpmsg/devices/.../name above) and have a local
("source") rpmsg address, and remote ("destination") rpmsg
address.
A channel is first created when an entity, whether local
or remote, starts listening on it for messages (and is thus
called an rpmsg server).
When that happens, a "name service" announcement is sent
to the other processor, in order to let it know about the
creation of the channel (this way remote clients know they
can start sending messages).
This sysfs entry tells us whether the channel is a local
server channel that is announced (values are either
true or false).

Description:
Some information about whether a given USB device is
physically fixed to the platform can be inferred from a
combination of hub descriptor bits and platform-specific data
such as ACPI. This file will read either "removable" or
"fixed" if the information is available, and "unknown"
otherwise.
