It's up to the developer to place their interfaces in the category they
wish for it to start out in.
Notable bits of non-ABI, which should not under any circumstances be considered
stable:
- Kconfig. Userspace should not rely on the presence or absence of any
particular Kconfig symbol, in /proc/config.gz, in the copy of .config
commonly installed to /boot, or in any invocation of the kernel build

What: /proc/<pid>/oom_adj
When: August 2012
Why: /proc/<pid>/oom_adj allows userspace to influence the oom killer's
badness heuristic used to determine which task to kill when the kernel
is out of memory.
The badness heuristic has since been rewritten since the introduction of
this tunable such that its meaning is deprecated. The value was
implemented as a bitshift on a score generated by the badness()
function that did not have any precise units of measure. With the
rewrite, the score is given as a proportion of available memory to the
task allocating pages, so using a bitshift which grows the score
exponentially is, thus, impossible to tune with fine granularity.
A much more powerful interface, /proc/<pid>/oom_score_adj, was
introduced with the oom killer rewrite that allows users to increase or
decrease the badness score linearly. This interface will replace
/proc/<pid>/oom_adj.
A warning will be emitted to the kernel log if an application uses this
deprecated interface. After it is printed once, future warnings will be
suppressed until the kernel is rebooted.

TPM commands are categorized as short, medium or long in
execution time, so that the driver doesn't have to wait
any longer than necessary before starting to poll for a

Example output:

Here the short, medium and long durations are displayed in
usecs. "[original]" indicates that the values are displayed
unmodified from when they were queried from the chip.
Durations can be modified in the case where a buggy chip
reports them in msec instead of usec and they need to be

What: /sys/class/misc/tpmX/device/enabled
Date: April 2006
KernelVersion: 2.6.17
Contact: tpmdd-devel@lists.sf.net
Description: The "enabled" property prints a '1' if the TPM chip is enabled,
meaning that it should be visible to the OS. This property
may be visible but produce a '0' after some operation that
disables the TPM.
What: /sys/class/misc/tpmX/device/owned
Date: April 2006
KernelVersion: 2.6.17
Contact: tpmdd-devel@lists.sf.net
Description: The "owned" property produces a '1' if the TPM_TakeOwnership
ordinal has been executed successfully in the chip. A '0'
indicates that ownership hasn't been taken.
What: /sys/class/misc/tpmX/device/pcrs
Date: April 2005
KernelVersion: 2.6.12
Contact: tpmdd-devel@lists.sf.net
Description: The "pcrs" property will dump the current value of all Platform
Configuration Registers in the TPM. Note that since these
values may be constantly changing, the output is only valid
for a snapshot in time.
Example output:
PCR-00: 3A 3F 78 0F 11 A4 B4 99 69 FC AA 80 CD 6E 39 57 C3 3B 22 75
PCR-01: 3A 3F 78 0F 11 A4 B4 99 69 FC AA 80 CD 6E 39 57 C3 3B 22 75
PCR-02: 3A 3F 78 0F 11 A4 B4 99 69 FC AA 80 CD 6E 39 57 C3 3B 22 75
PCR-03: 3A 3F 78 0F 11 A4 B4 99 69 FC AA 80 CD 6E 39 57 C3 3B 22 75
PCR-04: 3A 3F 78 0F 11 A4 B4 99 69 FC AA 80 CD 6E 39 57 C3 3B 22 75
...
The number of PCRs and hex bytes needed to represent a PCR
value will vary depending on TPM chip version. For TPM 1.1 and
1.2 chips, PCRs represent SHA-1 hashes, which are 20 bytes
long. Use the "caps" property to determine TPM version.
What: /sys/class/misc/tpmX/device/pubek
Date: April 2005
KernelVersion: 2.6.12
Contact: tpmdd-devel@lists.sf.net
Description: The "pubek" property will return the TPM's public endorsement
key if possible. If the TPM has had ownership established and
is version 1.2, the pubek will not be available without the
owner's authorization. Since the TPM driver doesn't store any
secrets, it can't authorize its own request for the pubek,
making it unaccessible. The public endorsement key is gener-
ated at TPM menufacture time and exists for the life of the
chip.

What: /sys/class/misc/tpmX/device/temp_deactivated
Date: April 2006
KernelVersion: 2.6.17
Contact: tpmdd-devel@lists.sf.net
Description: The "temp_deactivated" property returns a '1' if the chip has
been temporarily dectivated, usually until the next power
cycle. Whether a warm boot (reboot) will clear a TPM chip
from a temp_deactivated state is platform specific.
What: /sys/class/misc/tpmX/device/timeouts
Date: March 2011
KernelVersion: 3.1
Contact: tpmdd-devel@lists.sf.net
Description: The "timeouts" property shows the 4 vendor-specific values
for the TPM's interface spec timeouts. The use of these
timeouts is defined by the TPM interface spec that the chip
conforms to.
Example output:
750000 750000 750000 750000 [original]
The four timeout values are shown in usecs, with a trailing
"[original]" or "[adjusted]" depending on whether the values
were scaled by the driver to be reported in usec from msecs.

What: /sys/class/infiniband_srp/srp-<hca>-<port_number>/add_target
Date: January 2, 2006
KernelVersion: 2.6.15
Contact: linux-rdma@vger.kernel.org
Description: Interface for making ib_srp connect to a new target.
One can request ib_srp to connect to a new target by writing
a comma-separated list of login parameters to this sysfs
attribute. The supported parameters are:
* id_ext, a 16-digit hexadecimal number specifying the eight
byte identifier extension in the 16-byte SRP target port
identifier. The target port identifier is sent by ib_srp
to the target in the SRP_LOGIN_REQ request.
* ioc_guid, a 16-digit hexadecimal number specifying the eight
byte I/O controller GUID portion of the 16-byte target port
identifier.
* dgid, a 32-digit hexadecimal number specifying the
destination GID.
* pkey, a four-digit hexadecimal number specifying the
InfiniBand partition key.
* service_id, a 16-digit hexadecimal number specifying the
InfiniBand service ID used to establish communication with
the SRP target. How to find out the value of the service ID
is specified in the documentation of the SRP target.
* max_sect, a decimal number specifying the maximum number of
512-byte sectors to be transferred via a single SCSI command.
* max_cmd_per_lun, a decimal number specifying the maximum
number of outstanding commands for a single LUN.
* io_class, a hexadecimal number specifying the SRP I/O class.
Must be either 0xff00 (rev 10) or 0x0100 (rev 16a). The I/O
class defines the format of the SRP initiator and target
port identifiers.
* initiator_ext, a 16-digit hexadecimal number specifying the
identifier extension portion of the SRP initiator port
identifier. This data is sent by the initiator to the target
in the SRP_LOGIN_REQ request.
* cmd_sg_entries, a number in the range 1..255 that specifies
the maximum number of data buffer descriptors stored in the
SRP_CMD information unit itself. With allow_ext_sg=0 the
parameter cmd_sg_entries defines the maximum S/G list length
for a single SRP_CMD, and commands whose S/G list length
exceeds this limit after S/G list collapsing will fail.
* allow_ext_sg, whether ib_srp is allowed to include a partial
memory descriptor list in an SRP_CMD instead of the entire
list. If a partial memory descriptor list has been included
in an SRP_CMD the remaining memory descriptors are
communicated from initiator to target via an additional RDMA
transfer. Setting allow_ext_sg to 1 increases the maximum
amount of data that can be transferred between initiator and
target via a single SCSI command. Since not all SRP target
implementations support partial memory descriptor lists the
default value for this option is 0.
* sg_tablesize, a number in the range 1..2048 specifying the
maximum S/G list length the SCSI layer is allowed to pass to
ib_srp. Specifying a value that exceeds cmd_sg_entries is
only safe with partial memory descriptor list support enabled
(allow_ext_sg=1).
* comp_vector, a number in the range 0..n-1 specifying the
MSI-X completion vector. Some HCA's allocate multiple (n)
MSI-X vectors per HCA port. If the IRQ affinity masks of
these interrupts have been configured such that each MSI-X
interrupt is handled by a different CPU then the comp_vector
parameter can be used to spread the SRP completion workload
over multiple CPU's.
* tl_retry_count, a number in the range 2..7 specifying the
IB RC retry count.
* queue_size, the maximum number of commands that the
initiator is allowed to queue per SCSI host. The default
value for this parameter is 62. The lowest supported value
is 2.

What: /sys/firmware/opal/elog
Date: Feb 2014
Contact: Stewart Smith <stewart@linux.vnet.ibm.com>
Description:
This directory exposes error log entries retrieved
through the OPAL firmware interface.
Each error log is identified by a unique ID and will
exist until explicitly acknowledged to firmware.
Each log entry has a directory in /sys/firmware/opal/elog.
Log entries may be purged by the service processor
before retrieved by firmware or retrieved/acknowledged by
Linux if there is no room for more log entries.
In the event that Linux has retrieved the log entries
but not explicitly acknowledged them to firmware and
the service processor needs more room for log entries,
the only remaining copy of a log message may be in
Linux.
Typically, a user space daemon will monitor for new
entries, read them out and acknowledge them.
The service processor may be able to store more log
entries than firmware can, so after you acknowledge
an event from Linux you may instantly get another one
from the queue that was generated some time in the past.
The raw log format is a binary format. We currently
do not parse this at all in kernel, leaving it up to
user space to solve the problem. In future, we may
do more parsing in kernel and add more files to make
it easier for simple user space processes to extract
more information.
For each log entry (directory), there are the following
files:
id: An ASCII representation of the ID of the
error log, in hex - e.g. "0x01".
type: An ASCII representation of the type id and
description of the type of error log.
Currently just "0x00 PEL" - platform error log.
In the future there may be additional types.
raw: A read-only binary file that can be read
to get the raw log entry. These are
<16kb, often just hundreds of bytes and
"average" 2kb.
acknowledge: Writing 'ack' to this file will acknowledge
the error log to firmware (and in turn
the service processor, if applicable).
Shortly after acknowledging it, the log
entry will be removed from sysfs.
Reading this file will list the supported
operations (curently just acknowledge).

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,
and a flag field. All fields are separated by a ','.
Future extensions might add more comma separated values before
the terminating ';'. Unknown fields and 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 and '\' itself 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:
7,160,424069,-;pci_root PNP0A03:00: host bridge window [io 0x0000-0x0cf7] (ignored)
SUBSYSTEM=acpi
DEVICE=+acpi:PNP0A03:00
6,339,5140900,-;NET: Registered protocol family 10
30,340,5690716,-;udevd[80]: starting version 181
The DEVICE= key uniquely identifies devices the following way:
b12:8 - block dev_t
c127:3 - char dev_t
n8 - netdev ifindex
+sound:card0 - subsystem:devname
The flags field carries '-' by default. A 'c' indicates a
fragment of a line. All following fragments are flagged with
'+'. Note, that these hints about continuation lines are not
necessarily correct, and the stream could be interleaved with
unrelated messages, but merging the lines in the output
usually produces better human readable results. A similar
logic is used internally when messages are printed to the
console, /proc/kmsg or the syslog() syscall.

a number is base-16 format with a '0x' prefix (lowercase only).
If a <term> is specified alone (without an assigned value), it
is implied that 0x1 is assigned to that <term>.

event=0x2abc
event=0x423,inv,cmask=0x3

Description: The FCoE bus. Attributes in this directory are control interfaces.
Attributes:
ctlr_create: 'FCoE Controller' instance creation interface. Writing an

fcoe_ctlr_device (ctlr_X). The user can then configure any
per-port settings and finally write to the fcoe_ctlr_device's

process.
ctlr_destroy: 'FCoE Controller' instance removal interface. Writing a
fcoe_ctlr_device's sysfs name to this file will log the
fcoe_ctlr_device out of the fabric or otherwise connected
FCoE devices. It will also free all kernel memory allocated

Description: 'FCoE Controller' instances on the fcoe bus.
The FCoE Controller now has a three stage creation process.
1) Write interface name to ctlr_create 2) Configure the FCoE
Controller (ctlr_X) 3) Enable the FCoE Controller to begin
discovery and login. The FCoE Controller is destroyed by
writing it's name, i.e. ctlr_X to the ctlr_delete file.
Attributes:
fcf_dev_loss_tmo: Device loss timeout peroid (see below). Changing
this value will change the dev_loss_tmo for all
FCFs discovered by this controller.
mode: Display or change the FCoE Controller's mode. Possible
modes are 'Fabric' and 'VN2VN'. If a FCoE Controller
is started in 'Fabric' mode then FIP FCF discovery is
initiated and ultimately a fabric login is attempted.
If a FCoE Controller is started in 'VN2VN' mode then
FIP VN2VN discovery and login is performed. A FCoE
Controller only supports one mode at a time.
enabled: Whether an FCoE controller is enabled or disabled.
0 if disabled, 1 if enabled. Writing either 0 or 1

Contact: Robert Love <robert.w.love@intel.com>, devel@open-fcoe.org
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.

Description:
This file appears when a physical PCIe device supports SR-IOV.
Userspace applications can read and write to this file to
determine and control the enablement or disablement of Virtual
Functions (VFs) on the physical function (PF). A read of this
file will return the number of VFs that are enabled on this PF.
A number written to this file will enable the specified
number of VFs. A userspace application would typically read the
file and check that the value is zero, and then write the number
of VFs that should be enabled on the PF; the value written
should be less than or equal to the value in the sriov_totalvfs
file. A userspace application wanting to disable the VFs would
write a zero to this file. The core ensures that valid values
are written to this file, and returns errors when values are not
valid. For example, writing a 2 to this file when sriov_numvfs
is not 0 and not 2 already will return an error. Writing a 10
when the value of sriov_totalvfs is 8 will return an error.

Description:
This file allows the driver for a device to be specified which

driver_override file (echo pci-stub > driver_override) and
may be cleared with an empty string (echo > driver_override).
This returns the device to standard matching rules binding.
Writing to driver_override does not automatically unbind the
device from its current driver or make any attempt to
automatically load the specified driver. If no driver with a
matching name is currently loaded in the kernel, the device
will not bind to any driver. This also allows devices to
opt-out of driver binding using a driver_override name such as
"none". Only a single driver may be specified in the override,

returns 1 if no driver has claimed this interface, as an
unclaimed interface will not stop the device from being
autosuspended if all other interface drivers are idle.
The file returns 0 if autosuspend support has not been

Date: October 2011
Contact: linux-usb@vger.kernel.org
Description:
Writing a device ID to this file will attempt to
dynamically add a new device ID to a USB device driver.
This may allow the driver to support more hardware than
was included in the driver's static device ID support
table at compile time. The format for the device ID is:
idVendor idProduct bInterfaceClass RefIdVendor RefIdProduct
The vendor ID and device ID fields are required, the
rest is optional. The Ref* tuple can be used to tell the
driver to use the same driver_data for the new device as
it is used for the reference device.
Upon successfully adding an ID, the driver will probe
for the device and attempt to bind to it. For example:
# echo "8086 10f5" > /sys/bus/usb/drivers/foo/new_id
Here add a new device (0458:7045) using driver_data from
an already supported device (0458:704c):
# echo "0458 7045 0 0458 704c" > /sys/bus/usb/drivers/foo/new_id

device IDs in the same format, with one entry per

One extcon device denotes a single external connector

attached simultaneously. Many of docks, cradles, and
accessory cables have such capability. For example,
the 30-pin port of Nuri board (/arch/arm/mach-exynos)

If the extcon object has an optional callback "show_state"

callback.
If the default callback for showing function is used, the
format is like this:
# cat state
USB_OTG=1
HDMI=0
TA=1
EAR_JACK=0
#
In this example, the extcon device has USB_OTG and TA
cables attached and HDMI and EAR_JACK cables detached.
In order to update the state of an extcon device, enter a hex
state number starting with 0x:
# echo 0xHEX > state
This updates the whole state of the extcon device.
Inputs of all the methods are required to meet the
mutually_exclusive conditions if they exist.
It is recommended to use this "global" state interface if
you need to set the value atomically. The later state
interface associated with each cable cannot update

Contact: linux-mtd@lists.infradead.org
Description:
Maximum number of bit errors that the device is capable of

ecc_step_size). This will always be a non-negative integer.
In the case of devices lacking any ECC capability, it is 0.
What: /sys/class/mtd/mtdX/bitflip_threshold
Date: April 2012
KernelVersion: 3.4
Contact: linux-mtd@lists.infradead.org
Description:
This allows the user to examine and adjust the criteria by which
mtd returns -EUCLEAN from mtd_read() and mtd_read_oob(). If the
maximum number of bit errors that were corrected on any single
region comprising an ecc step (as reported by the driver) equals
or exceeds this value, -EUCLEAN is returned. Otherwise, absent
an error, 0 is returned. Higher layers (e.g., UBI) use this
return code as an indication that an erase block may be
degrading and should be scrutinized as a candidate for being
marked as bad.
The initial value may be specified by the flash device driver.
If not, then the default value is ecc_strength.
The introduction of this feature brings a subtle change to the
meaning of the -EUCLEAN return code. Previously, it was
interpreted to mean simply "one or more bit errors were
corrected". Its new interpretation can be phrased as "a
dangerously high number of bit errors were corrected on one or
more regions comprising an ecc step". The precise definition of
"dangerously high" can be adjusted by the user with
bitflip_threshold. Users are discouraged from doing this,
however, unless they know what they are doing and have intimate
knowledge of the properties of their device. Broadly speaking,
bitflip_threshold should be low enough to detect genuine erase
block degradation, but high enough to avoid the consequences of
a persistent return value of -EUCLEAN on devices where sticky
bitflips occur. Note that if bitflip_threshold exceeds
ecc_strength, -EUCLEAN is never returned by the read operations.
Conversely, if bitflip_threshold is zero, -EUCLEAN is always
returned, absent a hard error.
This is generally applicable only to NAND flash devices with ECC
capability. It is ignored on devices lacking ECC capability;
i.e., devices for which ecc_strength is zero.
