2008 Essential Linux Device Drivers; Sreekrishnan Venkateswaran Essential Linux Device Drivers by Sreekrishnan Venkateswaran Publisher: Prentice Hall Pub Date: March 27, 2008 Print ISBN-10: 0-13-239655-6 Print ISBN-13: 978-0-13-239655-4 Pages: 744 Table of Contents | Index Overview "Probably the most wide ranging and complete Linux device driver book I've read." --Alan Cox, Linux Guru and Key Kernel Developer "Very comprehensive and detailed, covering almost every single Linux device driver type." --Theodore Ts'o, First Linux Kernel Developer in North America and Chief Platform Strategist of the Linux Foundation The Most Practical Guide to Writing Linux Device Drivers Linux now offers an exceptionally robust environment for driver development: with today's kernels, what once required years of development time can be accomplished in days. In this practical, example-driven book, one of the world's most experienced Linux driver developers systematically demonstrates how to develop reliable Linux drivers for virtually any device. Essential Linux Device Drivers is for any programmer with a working knowledge of operating systems and C, including programmers who have never written drivers before. Sreekrishnan Venkateswaran focuses on the essentials, bringing together all the concepts and techniques you need, while avoiding topics that only matter in highly specialized situations. Venkateswaran begins by reviewing the Linux 2.6 kernel capabilities that are most relevant to driver developers. He introduces simple device classes; then turns to serial buses such as I2C and SPI; external buses such as PCMCIA, PCI, and USB; video, audio, block, network, and wireless device drivers; user-space drivers; and drivers for embedded Linux–one of today's fastest growing areas of Linux development. For each, Venkateswaran explains the technology, inspects relevant kernel source files, and walks through developing a complete example. • Addresses drivers discussed in no other book, including drivers for I2C, video, sound, PCMCIA, and different types of flash memory • Demystifies essential kernel services and facilities, including kernel threads and helper interfaces • Teaches polling, asynchronous notification, and I/O control • Introduces the Inter-Integrated Circuit Protocol for embedded Linux drivers • Covers multimedia device drivers using the Linux-Video subsystem and Linux-Audio framework • Shows how Linux implements support for wireless technologies such as Bluetooth, Infrared, WiFi, and cellular networking • Describes the entire driver development lifecycle, through debugging and maintenance • Includes reference appendixes covering Linux assembly, BIOS calls, and Seq files Essential Linux Device Drivers by Sreekrishnan Venkateswaran Publisher: Prentice Hall Pub Date: March 27, 2008 Print ISBN-10: 0-13-239655-6 Print ISBN-13: 978-0-13-239655-4 Pages: 744 Table of Contents | Index Copyright Prentice Hall Open Source Software Development Series Foreword Preface Acknowledgments About the Author Chapter 1.

  • Developing and Benchmarking Native Linux Applications on Android
    Developing and Benchmarking Native Linux Applications on Android Leonid Batyuk, Aubrey-Derrick Schmidt, Hans-Gunther Schmidt, Ahmet Camtepe, and Sahin Albayrak Technische Universit¨at Berlin, 10587 Berlin, Germany {aubrey.schmidt,leonid.batyuk,hans-gunther.schmidt,ahmet.camtepe, sahin.albayrak}@dai-labor.de http://www.dai-labor.de Abstract. Smartphones get increasingly popular where more and more smartphone platforms emerge. Special attention was gained by the open source platform Android which was presented by the Open Handset Al- liance (OHA) hosting members like Google, Motorola, and HTC. An- droid uses a Linux kernel and a stripped-down userland with a custom Java VM set on top. The resulting system joins the advantages of both environments, while third-parties are intended to develop only Java ap- plications at the moment. In this work, we present the benefit of using native applications in Android. Android includes a fully functional Linux, and using it for heavy computational tasks when developing applications can bring in substantional performance increase. We present how to develop native applications and software components, as well as how to let Linux appli- cations and components communicate with Java programs. Additionally, we present performance measurements of native and Java applications executing identical tasks. The results show that native C applications can be up to 30 times as fast as an identical algorithm running in Dalvik VM. Java applications can become a speed-up of up to 10 times if utilizing JNI. Keywords: software, performance, smartphones, android, C, Java. 1 Introduction With the growing customer interest in smartphones the number of available platforms increases steadily.

Indeed, transitioning In modern server CPUs, individual cores can run at different a core from a low to a high frequency, or conversely, has an frequencies, which allows for fine-grained control of the per- FTL of dozens to hundreds of milliseconds. FTL leads to a formance/energy tradeoff. Adjusting the frequency, however, problem of frequency inversion in scenarios that are typical incurs a high latency. We find that this can lead to a problem of the use of the standard POSIX fork() and wait() system of frequency inversion, whereby the Linux scheduler places calls on process creation, or of synchronization between a newly active thread on an idle core that takes dozens to hun- lightweight threads in a producer-consumer application.

The polling interface to the Linux kernel that differs from Marz’s original implementation in that it at- the Android operating system uses is epoll (see ”frame- tempts to implement only the event push model in the works/native/services/inputflinger/EventHub.cpp” in the Android kernel while Marz’s implementation implemented Android source code, and ”fs/eventpoll.c” in the Linux the event push model in the Android kernel, moved the kernel source code). The Linux kernel running inside of display system into the kernel, and implemented a GUI Android uses the evdev input event interface (see ”driver- scheduler to better manage different GUI tasks.
