<content type='text'>
This reverts commit a8f4af6dc6600980885c594f52eecd60edd62013.
Thus restoring ACPICA's new acpi_serialize code.

This commit by itself may cause a regression, but
it is reverted in this order so that subsequent
reverts reverts under this one can be made
without conflict.

<title>ACPICA: Re-implement interpreters' "serialized mode"</title>

<id>urn:sha1:1ba753acb372c2955a4843302e92e49ce82e2fea</id>
<content type='text'>
Enhanced the implementation of the interpreters'
serialized mode (boot with "acpi_serialize" to set
acpi_glb_all_methods_serialized flag.)
When this mode is specified, instead of creating a serialization
semaphore per control method, the interpreter lock is
simply no longer released before a blocking operation
during control method execution. This effectively makes
the AML Interpreter single-threaded. The overhead of a
semaphore per-method is eliminated.

<id>urn:sha1:4c90ece249992c7a2e3fc921e5cdb8eb92193067</id>
<content type='text'>
Converted the locking mutex used for the ACPI hardware
to a spinlock. This change should eliminate all problems
caused by attempting to acquire a semaphore at interrupt
level, and it means that all ACPICA external interfaces
that directly access the ACPI hardware can be safely
called from interrupt level.

Fixed a regression introduced in 20060526 where the ACPI
device initialization could be prematurely aborted with
an AE_NOT_FOUND if a device did not have an optional
_INI method.

Fixed an IndexField issue where a write to the Data
Register should be limited in size to the AccessSize
(width) of the IndexField itself. (BZ 433, Fiodor Suietov)

Fixed problem reports (Valery Podrezov) integrated: - Allow
store of ThermalZone objects to Debug object.
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5369
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5370

Fixed problem reports (Fiodor Suietov) integrated: -
acpi_get_table_header() doesn't handle multiple instances
correctly (BZ 364)

Removed four global mutexes that were obsolete and were
no longer being used.

<id>urn:sha1:b229cf92eee616c7cb5ad8cdb35a19b119f00bc8</id>
<content type='text'>
Removed a device initialization optimization introduced in
20051216 where the _STA method was not run unless an _INI
was also present for the same device. This optimization
could cause problems because it could allow _INI methods
to be run within a not-present device subtree (If a
not-present device had no _INI, _STA would not be run,
the not-present status would not be discovered, and the
children of the device would be incorrectly traversed.)

Implemented a new _STA optimization where namespace
subtrees that do not contain _INI are identified and
ignored during device initialization. Selectively running
_STA can significantly improve boot time on large machines
(with assistance from Len Brown.)

Implemented support for the device initialization case
where the returned _STA flags indicate a device not-present
but functioning. In this case, _INI is not run, but the
device children are examined for presence, as per the
ACPI specification.

Implemented an additional change to the IndexField support
in order to conform to MS behavior. The value written to
the Index Register is not simply a byte offset, it is a
byte offset in units of the access width of the parent
Index Field. (Fiodor Suietov)

Defined and deployed a new OSL interface,
acpi_os_validate_address().  This interface is called during
the creation of all AML operation regions, and allows
the host OS to exert control over what addresses it will
allow the AML code to access. Operation Regions whose
addresses are disallowed will cause a runtime exception
when they are actually accessed (will not affect or abort
table loading.)

Defined and deployed a new OSL interface,
acpi_os_validate_interface().  This interface allows the host OS
to match the various "optional" interface/behavior strings
for the _OSI predefined control method as appropriate
(with assistance from Bjorn Helgaas.)

Restructured and corrected various problems in the
exception handling code paths within DsCallControlMethod
and DsTerminateControlMethod in dsmethod (with assistance
from Takayoshi Kochi.)

Modified the Linux source converter to ignore quoted string
literals while converting identifiers from mixed to lower
case. This will correct problems with the disassembler
and other areas where such strings must not be modified.

The ACPI_FUNCTION_* macros no longer require quotes around
the function name. This allows the Linux source converter
to convert the names, now that the converter ignores
quoted strings.

appeared during normal execution. These became apparent
after the conversion from ACPI_DEBUG_PRINT.

if the BitIndex or NumBits parameter referred to a named
object. From Valery Podrezov.

<id>urn:sha1:b8e4d89357fc434618a59c1047cac72641191805</id>
<content type='text'>
Implemented support in the Resource Manager to allow
unresolved namestring references within resource package
objects for the _PRT method. This support is in addition
to the previously implemented unresolved reference
support within the AML parser. If the interpreter slack
mode is enabled (true on Linux unless acpi=strict),
these unresolved references will be passed through
to the caller as a NULL package entry.
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5741

Implemented and deployed new macros and functions for
error and warning messages across the subsystem. These
macros are simpler and generate less code than their
predecessors. The new macros ACPI_ERROR, ACPI_EXCEPTION,
ACPI_WARNING, and ACPI_INFO replace the ACPI_REPORT_*
macros.

Implemented the acpi_cpu_flags type to simplify host OS
integration of the Acquire/Release Lock OSL interfaces.
Suggested by Steven Rostedt and Andrew Morton.

Fixed a problem where Alias ASL operators are sometimes
not correctly resolved. causing AE_AML_INTERNAL
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5189
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5674

Fixed several problems with the implementation of the
ConcatenateResTemplate ASL operator. As per the ACPI
specification, zero length buffers are now treated as a
single EndTag. One-length buffers always cause a fatal
exception. Non-zero length buffers that do not end with
a full 2-byte EndTag cause a fatal exception.

Fixed a possible structure overwrite in the
AcpiGetObjectInfo external interface. (With assistance
from Thomas Renninger)

<content type='text'>
Added 2006 copyright.

At SuSE's suggestion, enabled all error messages
without enabling function tracing, ie with CONFIG_ACPI_DEBUG=n

Replaced all instances of the ACPI_DEBUG_PRINT macro invoked at
the ACPI_DB_ERROR and ACPI_DB_WARN debug levels with
the ACPI_REPORT_ERROR and ACPI_REPORT_WARNING macros,
respectively. This preserves all error and warning messages
in the non-debug version of the ACPICA code (this has been
referred to as the "debug lite" option.) Over 200 cases
were converted to create a total of over 380 error/warning
messages across the ACPICA code. This increases the code
and data size of the default non-debug version by about 13K.
Added ACPI_NO_ERROR_MESSAGES flag to enable deleting all messages.
The size of the debug version remains about the same.
