The description of dcc sysfs files is somewhat confusing and not effective. Rewrite it to be clear. While at it, also use literal code block for config sysfs examples and remove redundant examples that are obvious.

The lists need to be configured - sequentially and not in a overlapping manner. As an - example user can jump to list x only after list y is - configured and enabled. The format for entering all - types of instructions are explained in examples as - follows: + can be read in case of a hardware crash or manual + software triggers.

What: /sys/kernel/debug/dcc/.../[list-number]/enable Date: December 2022 Contact: Souradeep Chowdhury <quic_schowdhu@xxxxxxxxxxx> Description: This debugfs interface is used for enabling the - the dcc hardware. Enable file is kept under the - directory list number for which the user wants - to enable it. For example if the user wants to - enable list 1, then he should go for - echo 1 > /sys/kernel/debug/dcc/.../1/enable. - On enabling the dcc, all the addresses entered + the dcc hardware. A file named "enable" is in the + directory list number where users can enable/disable + the specific list by writing boolean (1 or 0) to the + file. + + On enabling the dcc, all the addresses specified by the user for the corresponding list is written into dcc sram which is read by the dcc hardware - on manual or crash induced triggers. Lists should - be enabled sequentially.For example after configuring - addresses for list 1 and enabling it, a user can - proceed to enable list 2 or vice versa. - Example: - echo 0 > /sys/kernel/debug/dcc/.../[list-number]/enable - (disable dcc for the corresponding list number) - echo 1 > /sys/kernel/debug/dcc/.../[list-number]/enable - (enable dcc for the corresponding list number) + on manual or crash induced triggers. Lists must + be configured and enabled sequentially, e.g. list + 2 can only be enabled when list 1 have so. -- An old man doll... just what I always wanted! - Clara
