2010-03-15ACPI: delete the "acpi=ht" boot optionLen Brown
acpi=ht was important in 2003 -- before ACPI was universally deployed and enabled by default in the major Linux distributions. At that time, there were a fair number of people who or chose to, or needed to, run with acpi=off, yet also wanted access to Hyper-threading. Today we find that many invocations of "acpi=ht" are accidental, and thus is it possible that it is doing more harm than good. In 2.6.34, we warn on invocation of acpi=ht. In 2.6.35, we delete the boot option. Signed-off-by: Len Brown <len.brown@intel.com>

There is a race between resume from hibernation and the EC driver that may result in restoring the hibernation image in the middle of an EC transaction in progress, which in turn may lead to unpredictable behavior of the platform.

2010-02-23x86/PCI: use host bridge _CRS info by default on 2008 and newer machinesBjorn Helgaas

2010-02-23PCI / ACPI / PM: Platform support for PCI PME wake-upRafael J. Wysocki
Although the majority of PCI devices can generate PMEs that in principle may be used to wake up devices suspended at run time, platform support is generally necessary to convert PMEs into wake-up events that can be delivered to the kernel. If ACPI is used for this purpose, PME signals generated by a PCI device will trigger the ACPI GPE associated with the device to generate an ACPI wake-up event that we can set up a handler for, provided that everything is configured correctly. Unfortunately, the subset of PCI devices that have GPEs associated with them is quite limited. The devices without dedicated GPEs have to rely on the GPEs associated with other devices (in the majority of cases their upstream bridges and, possibly, the root bridge) to generate ACPI wake-up events in response to PME signals from them. Add ACPI platform support for PCI PME wake-up: o Add a framework making is possible to use ACPI system notify handlers for run-time PM. o Add new PCI platform callback ->run_wake() to struct pci_platform_pm_ops allowing us to enable/disable the platform to generate wake-up events for given device. Implemet this callback for the ACPI platform. o Define ACPI wake-up handlers for PCI devices and PCI root buses and make the PCI-ACPI binding code register wake-up notifiers for all PCI devices present in the ACPI tables. o Add function pci_dev_run_wake() which can be used by PCI drivers to check if given device is capable of generating wake-up events at run time.

2010-02-23ACPI / ACPICA: Multiple system notify handlers per deviceRafael J. Wysocki
Currently it only is possible to install one system notify handler per namespace node, but this is not enough for PCI run-time power management, because we need to install power management notifiers for devices that already have hotplug notifiers installed. While in principle this could be handled at the PCI level, that would be suboptimal due to the way in which the ACPI-based PCI hotplug code is designed. For this reason, modify ACPICA so that it is possible to install more than one system notify handler per namespace node. Namely, make acpi_install_notify_handler(), acpi_remove_notify_handler() and acpi_ev_notify_dispatch() use a list of system notify handler objects associated with a namespace node. Make acpi_remove_notify_handler() call acpi_os_wait_events_complete() upfront to avoid a situation in which concurrent instance of acpi_remove_notify_handler() removes the handler from under us while we're waiting for the event queues to flush.

2010-02-23ACPI / PM: Add more run-time wake-up fieldsRafael J. Wysocki

Also, introduce a reference counter for run-wake devices and a function that will initialize all of the run-time wake-up fields for given device. Signed-off-by: Rafael J.

2010-02-23ACPI: Use GPE reference counting to support shared GPEsRafael J. Wysocki
ACPI GPEs may map to multiple devices. The current GPE interface only provides a mechanism for enabling and disabling GPEs, making it difficult to change the state of GPEs at runtime without extensive cooperation between devices. Add an API to allow devices to indicate whether or not they want their device's GPE to be enabled for both runtime and wakeup events. Remove the old GPE type handling entirely, which gets rid of various quirks, like the implicit disabling with GPE type setting. This requires a small amount of rework in order to ensure that non-wake GPEs are enabled by default to preserve existing behaviour. Based on patches from Matthew Garrett <mjg@redhat.com>.

2010-02-22ACPI: Be in TS_POLLING state during mwait based C-state entryPallipadi, Venkatesh
ACPI deep C-state entry had a long standing bug/missing feature, wherein we were sending resched IPIs when an idle CPU is in mwait based deep C-state. Only mwait based C1 was using the write to the monitored address to wake up mwait'ing CPU. This patch changes the code to retain TS_POLLING bit if we are entering an mwait based deep C-state. The patch has been verified to reduce the number of resched IPIs in general and also improves the performance/power on workloads with low system utilization (i.e., when mwait based deep C-states are being used).

2010-02-19ACPI: Fix regression where _PPC is not read at boot even when ignore_ppc=0Darrick J. Wong
Earlier, Ingo Molnar posted a patch to make it so that the kernel would avoid reading _PPC on his broken T60. Unfortunately, it seems that with Thomas Renninger's patch last July to eliminate _PPC evaluations when the processor driver loads, the kernel never actually reads _PPC at all! This is problematic if you happen to boot your non-T60 computer in a state where the BIOS _wants_ _PPC to be something other than zero. So, put the _PPC evaluation back into acpi_processor_get_performance_info if ignore_ppc isn't 1. Signed-off-by: Darrick J. Wong <djwong@us.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Len Brown <len.brown@intel.com>

2010-02-16ACPI: fix High cpu temperature with 2.6.32Arjan van de Ven
Since the rewrite of the CPU idle governor in 2.6.32, two laptops have surfaced where the BIOS advertises a C2 power state, but for some reason this state is not functioning (as verified in both cases by powertop before the patch in .32). The old governor had the accidental behavior that if a non-working state was chosen too many times, it would end up falling back to C1. The new governor works differently and this accidental behavior is no longer there; the result is a high temperature on these two machines. This patch adds these 2 machines to the DMI table for C state anomalies; by just not using C2 both these machines are better off (the TSC can be used instead of the pm timer, giving a performance boost for example).

We passed that interface a stack variable, which is kmemdup'ed and assigned to the device's platform_data pointer. Unfortunately, whatever random garbage is in the stack variable gets coped during the kmemdup, and that leads to broken behavior. Explicitly zero out the structure before passing it to the API.
