As a rule, a release is made every +month. + +As the coding style adopted by the ACPICA project is not acceptable by +Linux, there is a release process to convert the ACPICA git commits into +Linux patches. The patches generated by this process are referred to as +"linuxized ACPICA patches". The release process is carried out on a local +copy the ACPICA git repository. Each commit in the monthly release is +converted into a linuxized ACPICA patch. Together, they form the monthly +ACPICA release patchset for the Linux ACPI community. This process is +illustrated in the following figure:: + + +-----------------------------+ + | acpica / master (-) commits | + +-----------------------------+ + /|\ | + | \|/ + | /---------------------\ +----------------------+ + | < Linuxize repo Utility >-->| old linuxized acpica |--+ + | \---------------------/ +----------------------+ | + | | + /---------\ | + < git reset > \ + \---------/ \ + /|\ /+-+ + | / | + +-----------------------------+ | | + | acpica / master (+) commits | | | + +-----------------------------+ | | + | | | + \|/ | | + /-----------------------\ +----------------------+ | | + < Linuxize repo Utilities >-->| new linuxized acpica |--+ | + \-----------------------/ +----------------------+ | + \|/ + +--------------------------+ /----------------------\ + | Linuxized ACPICA Patches |<----------------< Linuxize patch Utility > + +--------------------------+ \----------------------/ + | + \|/ + /---------------------------\ + < Linux ACPI Community Review > + \---------------------------/ + | + \|/ + +-----------------------+ /------------------\ +----------------+ + | linux-pm / linux-next |-->< Linux Merge Window >-->| linux / master | + +-----------------------+ \------------------/ +----------------+ + + Figure 2.

Currently this build process only takes care of the + following kernel configuration options: + CONFIG_ACPI/CONFIG_ACPI_DEBUG/CONFIG_ACPI_DEBUGGER + +ACPICA Divergences +================== + +Ideally, all of the ACPICA commits should be converted into Linux patches +automatically without manual modifications, the "linux / master" tree should +contain the ACPICA code that exactly corresponds to the ACPICA code +contained in "new linuxized acpica" tree and it should be possible to run +the release process fully automatically. + +As a matter of fact, however, there are source code differences between +the ACPICA code in Linux and the upstream ACPICA code, referred to as +"ACPICA Divergences". + +The various sources of ACPICA divergences include: + 1. Legacy divergences - Before the current ACPICA release process was + established, there already had been divergences between Linux and + ACPICA. Over the past several years those divergences have been greatly + reduced, but there still are several ones and it takes time to figure + out the underlying reasons for their existence. + 2. Manual modifications - Any manual modification (eg. coding style fixes) + made directly in the Linux sources obviously hurts the ACPICA release + automation. Thus it is recommended to fix such issues in the ACPICA + upstream source code and generate the linuxized fix using the ACPICA + release utilities (please refer to Section 4 below for the details). + 3. Linux specific features - Sometimes it's impossible to use the + current ACPICA APIs to implement features required by the Linux kernel, + so Linux developers occasionally have to change ACPICA code directly. + Those changes may not be acceptable by ACPICA upstream and in such cases + they are left as committed ACPICA divergences unless the ACPICA side can + implement new mechanisms as replacements for them. + 4. ACPICA release fixups - ACPICA only tests commits using a set of the + user space simulation utilities, thus the linuxized ACPICA patches may + break the Linux kernel, leaving us build/boot failures. In order to + avoid breaking Linux bisection, fixes are applied directly to the + linuxized ACPICA patches during the release process. When the release + fixups are backported to the upstream ACPICA sources, they must follow + the upstream ACPICA rules and so further modifications may appear. + That may result in the appearance of new divergences. + 5. Fast tracking of ACPICA commits - Some ACPICA commits are regression + fixes or stable-candidate material, so they are applied in advance with + respect to the ACPICA release process. If such commits are reverted or + rebased on the ACPICA side in order to offer better solutions, new ACPICA + divergences are generated. + +ACPICA Development +================== + +This paragraph guides Linux developers to use the ACPICA upstream release +utilities to obtain Linux patches corresponding to upstream ACPICA commits +before they become available from the ACPICA release process. + + 1. Cherry-pick an ACPICA commit + + First you need to git clone the ACPICA repository and the ACPICA change + you want to cherry pick must be committed into the local repository. + + Then the gen-patch.sh command can help to cherry-pick an ACPICA commit + from the ACPICA local repository:: + + $ git clone https://github.com/acpica/acpica + $ cd acpica + $ generate/linux/gen-patch.sh -u [commit ID] + + Here the commit ID is the ACPICA local repository commit ID you want to + cherry pick. It can be omitted if the commit is "HEAD". + + 2. Cherry-pick recent ACPICA commits + + Sometimes you need to rebase your code on top of the most recent ACPICA + changes that haven't been applied to Linux yet. + + You can generate the ACPICA release series yourself and rebase your code on + top of the generated ACPICA release patches:: + + $ git clone https://github.com/acpica/acpica + $ cd acpica + $ generate/linux/make-patches.sh -u [commit ID] + + The commit ID should be the last ACPICA commit accepted by Linux. Usually, + it is the commit modifying ACPI_CA_VERSION. It can be found by executing + "git blame source/include/acpixf.h" and referencing the line that contains + "ACPI_CA_VERSION". + + 3. Inspect the current divergences + + If you have local copies of both Linux and upstream ACPICA, you can generate + a diff file indicating the state of the current divergences:: + + # git clone https://github.com/acpica/acpica + # git clone http://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git + # cd acpica + # generate/linux/divergences.sh -s ../linux diff --git a/Documentation/driver-api/acpi/scan_handlers.rst b/Documentation/driver-api/acpi/scan_handlers.rst new file mode 100644 index 000000000000..7a197b3a33fc --- /dev/null +++ b/Documentation/driver-api/acpi/scan_handlers.rst @@ -0,0 +1,83 @@ +..

Wysocki <rafael.j.wysocki@intel.com> + +During system initialization and ACPI-based device hot-add, the ACPI namespace +is scanned in search of device objects that generally represent various pieces +of hardware. This causes a struct acpi_device object to be created and +registered with the driver core for every device object in the ACPI namespace +and the hierarchy of those struct acpi_device objects reflects the namespace +layout (i.e. parent device objects in the namespace are represented by parent +struct acpi_device objects and analogously for their children). Those struct +acpi_device objects are referred to as "device nodes" in what follows, but they +should not be confused with struct device_node objects used by the Device Trees +parsing code (although their role is analogous to the role of those objects). + +During ACPI-based device hot-remove device nodes representing pieces of hardware +being removed are unregistered and deleted. + +The core ACPI namespace scanning code in drivers/acpi/scan.c carries out basic +initialization of device nodes, such as retrieving common configuration +information from the device objects represented by them and populating them with +appropriate data, but some of them require additional handling after they have +been registered. For example, if the given device node represents a PCI host +bridge, its registration should cause the PCI bus under that bridge to be +enumerated and PCI devices on that bus to be registered with the driver core. +Similarly, if the device node represents a PCI interrupt link, it is necessary +to configure that link so that the kernel can use it. + +Those additional configuration tasks usually depend on the type of the hardware +component represented by the given device node which can be determined on the +basis of the device node's hardware ID (HID). They are performed by objects +called ACPI scan handlers represented by the following structure:: + + struct acpi_scan_handler { + const struct acpi_device_id *ids; + struct list_head list_node; + int (*attach)(struct acpi_device *dev, const struct acpi_device_id *id); + void (*detach)(struct acpi_device *dev); + }; + +where ids is the list of IDs of device nodes the given handler is supposed to +take care of, list_node is the hook to the global list of ACPI scan handlers +maintained by the ACPI core and the .attach() and .detach() callbacks are +executed, respectively, after registration of new device nodes and before +unregistration of device nodes the handler attached to previously. + +The namespace scanning function, acpi_bus_scan(), first registers all of the +device nodes in the given namespace scope with the driver core. Then, it tries +to match a scan handler against each of them using the ids arrays of the +available scan handlers. If a matching scan handler is found, its .attach() +callback is executed for the given device node. If that callback returns 1, +that means that the handler has claimed the device node and is now responsible +for carrying out any additional configuration tasks related to it. It also will +be responsible for preparing the device node for unregistration in that case. +The device node's handler field is then populated with the address of the scan +handler that has claimed it. + +If the .attach() callback returns 0, it means that the device node is not +interesting to the given scan handler and may be matched against the next scan +handler in the list. If it returns a (negative) error code, that means that +the namespace scan should be terminated due to a serious error. The error code +returned should then reflect the type of the error. + +The namespace trimming function, acpi_bus_trim(), first executes .detach() +callbacks from the scan handlers of all device nodes in the given namespace +scope (if they have scan handlers). Next, it unregisters all of the device +nodes in that scope. + +ACPI scan handlers can be added to the list maintained by the ACPI core with the +help of the acpi_scan_add_handler() function taking a pointer to the new scan +handler as an argument. The order in which scan handlers are added to the list +is the order in which they are matched against device nodes during namespace +scans. + +All scan handles must be added to the list before acpi_bus_scan() is run for the +first time and they cannot be removed from it. diff --git a/Documentation/driver-api/device-io.rst b/Documentation/driver-api/device-io.rst index b00b23903078..0e389378f71d 100644 --- a/Documentation/driver-api/device-io.rst +++ b/Documentation/driver-api/device-io.rst @@ -103,51 +103,6 @@ continuing execution:: ha->flags.ints_enabled = 0; } -In addition to write posting, on some large multiprocessing systems -(e.g. SGI Challenge, Origin and Altix machines) posted writes won't be -strongly ordered coming from different CPUs.
