2007-07-11PCI: Change all drivers to use pci_device->revisionAuke Kok
Instead of all drivers reading pci config space to get the revision ID, they can now use the pci_device->revision member. This exposes some issues where drivers where reading a word or a dword for the revision number, and adding useless error-handling around the read. Some drivers even just read it for no purpose of all. In devices where the revision ID is being copied over and used in what appears to be the equivalent of hotpath, I have left the copy code and the cached copy as not to influence the driver's performance. Compile tested with make all{yes,mod}config on x86_64 and i386.

2007-07-01asus_acpi: fix oops on non-asus machinesMaxime Austruy
If asus_acpi_init doesn't find any device it knows about, it mistakenly returns a "success" error code even though it cleans up after itself. Later when trying to rmmod asus_acpi, the module_exit routine would try to clean up one more time and we would end up calling acpi_bus_unregister_driver(&asus_hotk_driver) twice. This patch addresses this first problem by returning -ENODEV when no appropriate device is found. Then there was also another bug with the code handling the return value of backlight_device_register. If this function ever failed, the driver would cleanup by calling the module_exit routine from module_init, but it would still return "success". So any attempt to rmmod this module would result in asus_acpi_exit being called twice but it's not ready to handle it (I haven't hit this bug, just found it by code inspection). This patch fixes that by inserting a return -ENODEV; at the end of this error handling path.

2007-06-23ACPI: fix 2.6.20 SMP boot regressionVenkatesh Pallipadi
Always disable/enable interrupts in the acpi idle routine, even in the error path. This is required as the 2.6.20 change in git commit d331e739f5ad2aaa9... "Fix interrupt race in idle callback" expects the idle handler to enable interrupt before returning. There was a case in acpi idle routine, in which interrupt was not being enabled before return, which caused the system to hang at bootup, while enabling C-states on an SMP system. The signature of the hang was that "processor.nocst" was required to enable boot. Signed-off-by: Venkatesh Pallipadi <venkatesh.pallipadi@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Len Brown <len.brown@intel.com>

2007-05-30ACPI: Make _OSI(Linux) a special caseLen Brown
_OSI("Linux") is like _OS("Linux"), it is ill-defined and virtually no BIOS vendors test interaction with it. As a result, it can do more damage than good because it causes the BIOS to follow un-tested paths. Recently, several machines have turned up that erroneously test this string in a way which causes them to _not_ test other compatibility strings, including the ZI9 and Toshiba. So it appears that this bad code has made it into a BIOS vendor's reference BIOS. Linux has no choice but to stop advertising compatibility with _OSI string "Linux" - as there are an unbounded number of possible incompatibilities going forward. But some BIOSes have already shipped which do use it for things like conditionally re-enabling video on resume from S3. (Too bad they didn't do that unconditionally) Add special case code for _OSI(Linux) Squawk to dmesg if _OSI(Linux) is requested Add DMI list both to enable and disable _OSI(Linux) But for now, keep the default enabled via #define OSI_LINUX_ENABLED. http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7787 Signed-off-by: Len Brown <len.brown@intel.com>

2007-05-10acpi,msi-laptop: Fall back to EC polling mode for MSI laptop specific EC ↵Lennart Poettering
commands The ACPI EC that is used in MSI laptops knows some non-standard commands for changing the screen brighntess and a few other things, which are used by the msi-laptop.c driver. Unfortunately for these commands no GPE events for IBF and OBF are triggered. Since nowadays the EC code uses the ec_intr=1 mode by default, this causes these operations to timeout, although they don't fail. In result, all operations that you can do with the msi-laptop.c driver take more or less 1s to complete, which is awfully slow. In one of the more recent kernels (2.6.20?) the EC subsystem has been revamped. With that change the EC timeout has been increased. before that increase the MSI EC accesses were slow -- but not *that* slow, hence I took notice of this limitation of the MSI EC hardware only very recently. The standard EC operations on the MSI EC as defined in the ACPI spec support GPE events properly. The following patch adds a new argument "force_poll" to the ec_transaction() function (and friends). If set to 1, the function will poll for IBF/OBF even if ec_intr=1 is enabled. If set to 0 the current behaviour is used. The msi-laptop driver is modified to make use of this new flag, so that OBF/IBF is polled for the special MSI EC transactions -- but only for them.

2007-05-10ACPI: created a dedicated workqueue for notify() executionAlexey Starikovskiy
HP nx6125/nx6325/... machines have a _GPE handler with an infinite loop sending Notify() events to different ACPI subsystems. Notify handler in ACPI driver is a C-routine, which may call ACPI interpreter again to get access to some ACPI variables (acpi_evaluate_xxx). On these HP machines such an evaluation changes state of some variable and lets the loop above break. In the current ACPI implementation Notify requests are being deferred to the same kacpid workqueue on which the above GPE handler with infinite loop is executing. Thus we have a deadlock -- loop will continue to spin, sending notify events, and at the same time preventing these notify events from being run on a workqueue. All notify events are deferred, thus we see increase in memory consumption noticed by author of the thread. Also as GPE handling is bloked, machines overheat. Eventually by external poll of the same acpi_evaluate, kacpid is released and all the queued notify events are free to run, thus 100% cpu utilization by kacpid for several seconds or more. To prevent all these horrors it's needed to not put notify events to kacpid workqueue by either executing them immediately or putting them on some other thread. It's dangerous to execute notify events in place, as it will put several ACPI interpreter stacks on top of each other (at least 4 in case of nx6125), thus causing kernel stack overflow. First attempt to create a new thread was done by Peter Wainwright He created a bunch of threads, which were stealing work from a kacpid workqueue. This patch appeared in 2.6.15 kernel shipped with Ubuntu 6.06 LTS. Second attempt was done by me, I created a new thread for each Notify event. This worked OK on HP nx machines, but broke Linus' Compaq n620c, by producing threads with a speed what they stopped the machine completely. Thus this patch was reverted from 18-rc2 as I remember. I re-made the patch to create second workqueue just for notify events, thus hopping it will not break Linus' machine. Patch was tested on the same HP nx machines in #5534 and #7122, but I did not received reply from Linus on a test patch sent to him. Patch went to 19-rc and was rejected with much fanfare again. There was 4th patch, which inserted schedule_timeout(1) into deferred execution of kacpid, if we had any notify requests pending, but Linus decided that it was too complex (involved either changes to workqueue to see if it's empty or atomic inc/dec). Now you see last variant which adds yield() to every GPE execution. http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5534 http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8385 Signed-off-by: Alexey Starikovskiy <alexey.y.starikovskiy@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Len Brown <len.brown@intel.com>

2007-05-01ACPI: delete un-reliable concept of cooling modeLen Brown
The scheme where the thermal driver displayed the cooling mode /proc/acpi/thermal_zone/*/cooling_mode was flawed in two ways. First, the success of _SCP doesn't actually mean that the BIOS moved any trip points. On many BIOS, _SCP is present, but does nothing. So displaying what _SCP executed actually was wrong more times than it was right. Second, examining the relative position of the trip points when the thermal_zone is added is insufficient -- as the BIOS reserves the right to change the trip points at run-time. The only reliable way for the user to determine if the thermal zone is in active, passive, or critical mode is to examine the relative position of the trip points. The user can do this without the kernel doing it for them by looking in /proc/acpi/thermal_zone/*/trip_points New contents for /proc/acpi/thermal_zone/*/cooling_mode: If _SCP available: "0 - Active; 1 - Passive\n" If _SCP unavailable: "<setting not supported>\n" Signed-off-by: Len Brown <len.brown@intel.com>
2007-05-01ACPI: thermal trip points are read-onlyLen Brown
/proc/acpi/thermal_zone/*/trip_points displays what the kernel reads from the BIOS via ACPI. If you echo a string of ':' deliminted numbers to this file then it will change what it displays. But it shouldn't, since the kernel has no way to communicate these changes to ACPI thermal zones. ACPI thermal zone trip points are read-only. The kernel does have the opportunity to ask the BIOS to change the trip points with _SCP - Set Cooling Policy. Request Active Cooling Mode: # echo 0 > /proc/acpi/thermal_zone/*/cooling_policy Request Passive Cooling Mode: # echo 1 > /proc/acpi/thermal_zone/*/cooling_policy However, in practice it is quite rare for the BIOS to support the optional _SCP, and it is even more rare for the BIOS to export an _SCP that actually changes the trip points.

2007-04-30power management: implement pm_ops.valid for everybodyJohannes Berg
Almost all users of pm_ops only support mem sleep, don't check in .valid and don't reject any others in .prepare so users can be confused if they check /sys/power/state, especially when new states are added (these would then result in s-t-r although they're supposed to be something different). This patch implements a generic pm_valid_only_mem function that is then exported for users and puts it to use in almost all existing pm_ops.

2007-04-29ACPICA: clear fields reserved before FADT r3Bob Moore
Linux-2.6.21 stopped booting on a P4/HT because Linux wrote the FADT.CST_CNT value to the SMI_CMD. Apparently this stumbled over some SMM instability, such as confusing SMM when invoking it from cpu1. Linux did this because even though the r2 FADT reserves the CST_CNT field, this BIOS set that field and Linux used it. Turns out that up through 2.6.20 we explicitly cleared cst_control for r2 FADTs. So here we go back to doing that, plus also clear some additional fields that are reserved until FADT r3. http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8346 Signed-off-by: Bob Moore <robert.moore@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Len Brown <len.brown@intel.com>
