OLS: Kernel documentation, and submitting kernel patches

07-25-2008 08:00 AM
The second of four days at the 10th annual Ottawa Linux Symposium got off to an unusual start as a small bird "assisted" Rob Landley in giving the first talk I attended, called "Where Linux kernel documentation hides." The tweeting bird was polite, only flying over the audience a couple of times and mostly paying attention.

NAME
ncp - Niagara crypto provider device driver The ncp device driver is a multi-threaded, loadable hardware driver supporting hardware assisted acceleration of RSA and DSA cryptographic operations. This support is built into the Niagara CMT processor. The ncp driver requires the presence of the Solaris Cryptographic Framework to enable applications and kernel clients to access the pro- vided services. CONFIGURATION
You configure the ncp driver by defining properties in /platform/sun4v/kernel/drv/ncp.conf which override the default settings. The fol- lowing property is supported: nostats Disables the generation of statistics. The nostats property may be used to help prevent traffic analysis, but this may inhibit support personnel. NETWORK STATISTICS
Solaris network drivers must implement statistics variables. The ncp driver maintains the following statistics: mauXqfull Number of times the queue for MAU X was found full when attempting to submit jobs. mauXupdate_failure Number of submit job failures on MAU X. mauXsubmit Number of jobs submitted to MAU X since driver load (boot). rsapublic Total number of jobs submitted to the device for RSA public key operations. rsaprivate Total number of jobs submitted to the device for RSA private key operations. dsasign Total number of jobs submitted to the device for DSA signing. dsaverify Total number of jobs submitted to the device for DSA verification. Additional statistics may be supplied for Sun support personnel, but are not useful to Solaris users and are not doc- umented in this manpage.
