2012-03-30Documentation: remove references to /etc/modprobe.confLucas De Marchi
Usage of /etc/modprobe.conf file was deprecated by module-init-tools and is no longer parsed by new kmod tool. References to this file are replaced in Documentation, comments and Kconfig according to the context. There are also some references to the old /etc/modules.conf from 2.4 kernels that are being removed.

asus_acpi only support old models, it has been deprecated since 2009 in favor of asus-laptop, it's not built by any (sane) distro, so it is time to say good bye.

2012-03-20to fix scancodes returned by sony-laptop driverJohn Hughes
Fix scancodes returned by driver to match scancodes used to remap keys. (Before the patch FN/E returned scancode 0x1B, but to remap scancode 0x14 had to be used). The scancodes returned by the sony-laptop driver for function keys did not match the scancodes used to remap keys. Also, since the scancode was sent to the input subsystem after the mapped keysym the /lib/udev/keymap utility was confused about which scancode to report for which keysym. This patch fixes the driver so the correct scancode is shown for each key. It also adds to the documentation a description of where to find the scancodes.

2011-07-07thinkpad-acpi: handle HKEY 0x4010, 0x4011 eventsHenrique de Moraes Holschuh
Handle events 0x4010 and 0x4011 so that we do not pester users about them. These events report when the thinkpad is docked/undocked to a native hotplug dock (i.e. one that does not need ACPI handling, nor is represented in the ACPI device tree). Such docks are based on USB 2.0/3.0, and also work as port replicators. We really want a proper dock class to report these, or at least new input EV_SW events. Since it is not clear which one to use yet, keep reporting them as vendor-specific ThinkPad events. WARNING: As defined by the thinkpad-acpi sysfs ABI rules of engagement, the vendor-specific events will be REMOVED as soon as generic events are made available (duplicate events are a big problem), with an appropriate update to the thinkpad-acpi sysfs/event ABI versioning. Userspace is already prepared to provide easy backwards compatibility for such changes when convenient to the distro (see acpi-fakekey). * Event 0x4010: docking to hotplug dock/port replicator * Event 0x4011: undocking from hotplug dock/port replicator Typical usecase would be to trigger display reconfiguration. Reports mention T410, T510, and series 3 docks/port replicators.

2011-07-07thinkpad-acpi: handle some new HKEY 0x60xx eventsHenrique de Moraes Holschuh
Handle some user interface events from the newer Lenovo models. We are likely to do something smart with these events in the future, for now, hide the ones we are already certain about from the user and userspace both. * Events 0x6000 and 0x6005 are key-related. 0x6005 is not properly identified yet. Ignore these events, and do not report them. * Event 0x6040 has not been properly identified yet, and we don't know if it is important (looks like it isn't, but still...). Keep reporting it. * Change the message the driver outputs on unknown 0x6xxx events, as all recent events are not related to thermal alarms. Degrade log level from ALERT to WARNING. Thanks to all users who reported these events or asked about them in a number of mailing lists. Your help is highly appreciated, even if I did took a lot of time to act on them. For that I apologise. I will list those that identified the reasons for the events as "reported-by", and I apologise in advance if I leave anyone out: it was not done on purpose, I made the mistake of not properly tagging all event report emails separately, and might have missed some.

Given the right combination of ThinkPad and X.org, just reading the video output control state is enough to hard-crash X.org. Until the day I somehow find out a model or BIOS cut date to not provide this feature to ThinkPads that can do video switching through X RandR, change permissions so that only processes with CAP_SYS_ADMIN can access any sort of video output control state.

2009-12-16thinkpad-acpi: disable volume controlHenrique de Moraes Holschuh
Disable volume control by default. It can be enabled at module load time by a module parameter (volume_control=1). The audio control mixer that thinkpad-acpi interacts with is fully functional without any drivers, and operated by hotkeys. The idea behind the console audio control is that the human operator is the only one that can interact with it. The ThinkVantage suite in Windows does not allow any software-based overrides, and only does OSD (on-screen-display) functions. The Linux driver will, with the addition of the ALSA interface, try to follow and enforce the ThinkVantage UI design: The user is supposed to use the keyboard hotkeys to interact with the console audio control. The kernel and the desktop environment is supposed to cooperate to provide proper user feedback through on-screen-display functions. Distros are urged to not to enable volume control by default. Enabling this must be a local admin's decision. This is the reason why there is no Kconfig option. Keep in mind that all ThinkPads have a normal, main mixer (AC97 or HDA) for regular software-based audio control. We are not talking about that mixer here. Advanced users are, of course, free to enable volume control and do as they please.

Lenovo removed the extra mixer since the T61 and thereabouts. Newer Lenovo models only have the mute gate function, and leave the volume control to the HDA mixer. Until a way to automatically query the firmware about its audio control capabilities is discovered (there might not be any), use a white/black list. We will likely need to ask T60 (old and new model) and Z60/Z61 users whether they have volume control to populate the black/white list. Meanwhile, provide a volume_capabilities parameter that can be used to override the defaults.

I don't trust the coupled EC writes and SMI calls the current volume control code does very much, although it is exactly what the IBM DSDTs seem to do (they never do more than a single step though). Change the driver to stop issuing SMIs, and just drive the EC directly to the desired level (DSDTs seem to confirm this will work even on very old models like the 570 and 600e/x). We checkpoint directly to NVRAM (this can be turned off) at suspend/shutdown/driver unload, which from what I can see in tbp, should also work on every ThinkPad.

2009-09-20thinkpad-acpi: hotkey event driver updateHenrique de Moraes Holschuh
Update the HKEY event driver to: 1. Handle better the second-gen firmware, which has no HKEY mask support but does report FN+F3, FN+F4 and FN+F12 without the need for NVRAM polling. a) always make the mask-related attributes available in sysfs; b) use DMI quirks to detect the second-gen firmware; c) properly report that FN+F3, FN+F4 and FN+F12 are enabled, and available even on mask-less second-gen firmware; 2. Decouple the issuing of hotkey events towards userspace from their reception from the firmware. ALSA mixer and brightness event reporting support will need this feature. 3. Clean up the mess in the hotkey driver a great deal. It is still very convoluted, and wants a full refactoring into a proper event API interface, but that is not going to happen today. 4. Fully reset firmware interface on resume (restore hotkey mask and status). 5. Stop losing polled events for no good reason when changing the mask and poll frequencies. We will still lose them when the hotkey_source_mask is changed, as well as any that happened between driver suspend and driver resume. The hotkey subdriver now has the notion of user-space-visible hotkey event mask, as well as of the set of "hotkey" events the driver needs (because brightness/volume change reports are not just keypress reports in most ThinkPad models). With this rewrite, the ABI level is bumped to 0x020500 should userspace need to know it is dealing with the updated hotkey subdriver.

So, this is probably some sort of backwards compatibility with older versions of the IBM ThinkVantage suite. We have no use for that, and I know of exactly ZERO users of that attribute, anyway.

2009-08-02thinkpad-acpi: remove dock and bay subdriversHenrique de Moraes Holschuh
The standard ACPI dock driver can handle the hotplug bays and docks of the ThinkPads just fine (including batteries) as of 2.6.27, and the code in thinkpad-acpi for the dock and bay subdrivers is currently broken anyway... Userspace needs some love to support the two-stage ejection nicely, but it is simple enough to do through udev rules (you don't even need HAL) so this wouldn't justify fixing the dock and bay subdrivers, either. That leaves warm-swap bays (_EJ3) support for thinkpad-acpi, as well as support for the weird dock of the model 570, but since such support has never left the "experimental" stage, it is also not a strong enough reason to find a way to fix this code. Users of ThinkPads with warm-swap bays are urged to request that _EJ3 support be added to the regular ACPI dock driver, if such feature is indeed useful for them.

2009-06-18thinkpad-acpi: support the second fan on the X61Henrique de Moraes Holschuh
Support reading the tachometer of the auxiliary fan of a X60/X61. It was found out by sheer luck, that bit 0 of EC register 0x31 (formely HBRV) selects which fan is active for tachometer readings through EC 0x84/0x085: 0 for fan1, 1 for fan2. Many thanks to Christoph Kl??nter, to Whoopie, and to weasel, who helped confirm that behaviour. Fan control through EC HFSP applies to both fans equally, regardless of the state of bit 0 of EC 0x31. That matches the way the DSDT uses HFSP. In order to better support the secondary fan, export a second tachometer over hwmon, and add defensive measures to make sure we are reading the correct tachometer. Support for the second fan is whitelist-based, as I have not found anything obvious to look for in the DSDT to detect the presence of the second fan.

2009-06-18thinkpad-acpi: forbid the use of HBRV on Lenovo ThinkPadsHenrique de Moraes Holschuh
Forcing thinkpad-acpi to do EC-based brightness control (HBRV) on a X61 has very... interesting effects, instead of doing nothing (since it doesn't have EC-based backlight control), it causes "weirdness" in the fan tachometer readings, for example. This means the EC register that used to be HBRV has been reused by Lenovo for something else, but they didn't remove it from the DSDT. Make sure the documentation reflects this data, and forbid the user from forcing the driver to access HBRV on Lenovo ThinkPads.

2009-06-18thinkpad-acpi: enhance led supportHenrique de Moraes Holschuh
Add support for extra LEDs on recent ThinkPads, and avoid registering with the led class the LEDs which are not available for a given ThinkPad model. All non-restricted LEDs are always available through the procfs interface, as the firmware doesn't care if an attempt is made to access an invalid LED.

2009-04-18thinkpad-acpi: bump up version to 0.23Henrique de Moraes Holschuh
Plenty of high-profile changes, so it deserves a new version number. Features added since 0.22: * Restrict unsafe LEDs * New race-less brightness control strategy for IBM ThinkPads * Disclose TGID of driver access from userspace (debug) * Warn when deprecated functions are used Other changes: * Better debug messages in some subdrivers * Removed "hotkey disable" support, since it breaks the driver * Dropped "ibm-acpi" alias Signed-off-by: Henrique de Moraes Holschuh <hmh@hmh.eng.br> Signed-off-by: Len Brown <len.brown@intel.com>

2009-04-04thinkpad-acpi: rework brightness supportHenrique de Moraes Holschuh
Refactor and redesign the brightness control backend... In order to fix bugzilla #11750... Add a new brightness control mode: support direct NVRAM checkpointing of the backlight level (i.e. store directly to NVRAM without the need for UCMS calls), and use that together with the EC-based control. Disallow UCMS+EC, thus avoiding races with the SMM firmware. Switch the models that define HBRV (EC Brightness Value) in the DSDT to the new mode. These are: T40-T43, R50-R52, R50e, R51e, X31-X41. Change the default for all other IBM ThinkPads to UCMS-only. The Lenovo models already default to UCMS-only.

2009-04-04thinkpad-acpi: enhanced debugging messages for rfkill subdriversHenrique de Moraes Holschuh
Enhance debugging messages for all rfkill subdrivers in thinkpad-acpi. Also, log a warning if the deprecated sysfs attributes are in use. These attributes are going to be removed sometime in 2010. There is an user-visible side-effect: we now coalesce attempts to enable/disable bluetooth or WWAN in the procfs interface, instead of hammering the firmware with multiple requests.
