platform/x86: wmi: Allow retrieving the number of WMI object instances

2023-05-09T10:07:25+00:00

Currently, the WMI driver core knows how many instances of a given WMI object exist, but WMI drivers cannot access this information. At the same time, some current and upcoming WMI drivers want to have access to this information. Add wmi_instance_count() and wmidev_instance_count() to allow WMI drivers to get the number of WMI object instances.

platform/x86: wmi: Add no_notify_data flag to struct wmi_driver

2021-12-06T21:33:39+00:00

Some WMI implementations do notifies on WMI objects without a _WED method allow WMI drivers to indicate that _WED should not be called for notifies on the WMI objects the driver is bound to. Instead the driver's notify callback will simply be called with a NULL data argument.

platform/x86: wmi: Make remove callback return void

2021-03-08T10:33:39+00:00

The driver core ignores the return value of struct bus_type::remove() (and so wmi_dev_remove()) because there is only little that can be done. To simplify the quest to make this function return void, let struct wmi_driver::remove() return void, too. All implementers of this callback return 0 already and this way it should be obvious to driver authors that returning an error code is a bad idea.

Pull x86 platform driver updates from Andy Shevchenko: "Gathered a bunch of x86 platform driver changes. It's rather big, since includes two big refactors and completely new driver: - ASUS WMI driver got a big refactoring in order to support the TUF Gaming laptops. Besides that, the regression with backlight being permanently off on various EeePC laptops has been fixed. - Accelerometer on HP ProBook 450 G0 shows wrong measurements due to X axis being inverted. This has been fixed. - Intel PMC core driver has been extended to be ACPI enumerated if the DSDT provides device with _HID "INT33A1". This allows to convert the driver to be pure platform and support new hardware purely based on ACPI DSDT. - From now on the Intel Speed Select Technology is supported thru a corresponding driver. This driver provides an access to the features of the ISST, such as Performance Profile, Core Power, Base frequency and Turbo Frequency. - Mellanox platform drivers has been refactored and now extended to support more systems, including new coming ones. - The OLPC XO-1.75 platform is now supported. - CB4063 Beckhoff Automation board is using PMC clocks, provided via pmc_atom driver, for ethernet controllers in a way that they can't be managed by the clock driver. The quirk has been extended to cover this case. - Touchscreen on Chuwi Hi10 Plus tablet has been enabled. Meanwhile the information of Chuwi Hi10 Air has been fixed to cover more models based on the same platform. - Xiaomi notebooks have WMI interface enabled. Thus, the driver to support it has been provided. It required some extension of the generic WMI library, which allows to propagate opaque context to the ->probe() of the individual drivers. This release includes debugfs clean up from Greg KH for several drivers that drop return code check and make debugfs absence or failure non-fatal. Also miscellaneous fixes here and there, mostly for Acer WMI and various Intel drivers" * tag 'platform-drivers-x86-v5.3-1' of git://git.infradead.org/linux-platform-drivers-x86: (74 commits) platform/x86: Fix PCENGINES_APU2 Kconfig warning tools/power/x86/intel-speed-select: Add .gitignore file platform/x86: mlx-platform: Fix error handling in mlxplat_init() platform/x86: intel_pmc_core: Attach using APCI HID "INT33A1" platform/x86: intel_pmc_core: transform Pkg C-state residency from TSC ticks into microseconds platform/x86: asus-wmi: Use dev_get_drvdata() Documentation/ABI: Add new attribute for mlxreg-io sysfs interfaces platform/x86: mlx-platform: Add more reset cause attributes platform/x86: mlx-platform: Modify DMI matching order platform/x86: mlx-platform: Add regmap structure for the next generation systems platform/x86: mlx-platform: Change API for i2c-mlxcpld driver activation platform/x86: mlx-platform: Move regmap initialization before all drivers activation MAINTAINERS: Update for Intel Speed Select Technology tools/power/x86: A tool to validate Intel Speed Select commands platform/x86: ISST: Restore state on resume platform/x86: ISST: Add Intel Speed Select PUNIT MSR interface platform/x86: ISST: Add Intel Speed Select mailbox interface via MSRs platform/x86: ISST: Add Intel Speed Select mailbox interface via PCI platform/x86: ISST: Add Intel Speed Select mmio interface platform/x86: ISST: Add IOCTL to Translate Linux logical CPU to PUNIT CPU number ...

platform/x86: wmi: move struct wmi_device_id to mod_devicetable.h

2019-03-07T16:46:07+00:00

In preparation for adding WMI support to MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE() move the definition of struct wmi_device_id to mod_devicetable.h and inline guid_string in the struct. Changing guid_string to an inline char array changes the loop conditions when looping over an array of struct wmi_device_id. Therefore update wmi_dev_match()'s loop to check for an empty guid_string instead of a NULL pointer.

platform/x86: wmi: create userspace interface for drivers

2017-11-03T23:34:00+00:00

For WMI operations that are only Set or Query readable and writable sysfs attributes created by WMI vendor drivers or the bus driver makes sense. For other WMI operations that are run on Method, there needs to be a way to guarantee to userspace that the results from the method call belong to the data request to the method call. Sysfs attributes don't work well in this scenario because two userspace processes may be competing at reading/writing an attribute and step on each other's data. When a WMI vendor driver declares a callback method in the wmi_driver the WMI bus driver will create a character device that maps to that function. This callback method will be responsible for filtering invalid requests and performing the actual call. That character device will correspond to this path: /dev/wmi/$driver Performing read() on this character device will provide the size of the buffer that the character device needs to perform calls. This buffer size can be set by vendor drivers through a new symbol or when MOF parsing is available by the MOF. Performing ioctl() on this character device will be interpretd by the WMI bus driver. It will perform sanity tests for size of data, test them for a valid instance, copy the data from userspace and pass iton to the vendor driver to further process and run. This creates an implicit policy that each driver will only be allowed a single character device. If a module matches multiple GUID's, the wmi_devices will need to be all handled by the same wmi_driver. The WMI vendor drivers will be responsible for managing inappropriate access to this character device and proper locking on data used by it. When a WMI vendor driver is unloaded the WMI bus driver will clean up the character device and any memory allocated for the call.

platform/x86: wmi: Don't allow drivers to get each other's GUIDs

2017-11-03T23:33:58+00:00

The only driver using this was dell-wmi, and it really was a hack. The driver was getting a data attribute from another driver and this type of action should not be encouraged. Rather drivers that need to interact with one another should pass data back and forth via exported functions.
