Flush kacpi_notify_wq before notify handler is removed, this can fix a bug which the deferred notify handler is executed after the notify_handler has already been removed. http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9772 Signed-off-by: Zhang Rui <rui.zhang@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Len Brown <len.brown@intel.com>
2008-04-17Add down_timeout and change ACPI to use itMatthew Wilcox1-68/+21
ACPI currently emulates a timeout for semaphores with calls to down_trylock and sleep. This produces horrible behaviour in terms of fairness and excessive wakeups. Now that we have a unified semaphore implementation, adding a real down_trylock is almost trivial. Signed-off-by: Matthew Wilcox <willy@linux.intel.com>
2008-03-15ACPI: Remove ACPI_CUSTOM_DSDT_INITRD optionLinus Torvalds1-84/+0
This essentially reverts commit 71fc47a9adf8ee89e5c96a47222915c5485ac437 ("ACPI: basic initramfs DSDT override support"), because the code simply isn't ready. It did ugly things to the init sequence to populate the rootfs image early, but that just ended up showing other problems with the whole approach. The fact is, the VFS layer simply isn't initialized this early, and the relevant ACPI code should either run much later, or this shouldn't be done at all. For 2.6.25, we'll just pick the latter option. We can revisit this concept later if necessary.

2008-02-13acpi: fix acpi_os_read_pci_configuration() misuse of raw_pci_read()Linus Torvalds1-8/+8
The raw_pci_read() interface (as the raw_pci_ops->read() before it) unconditionally fills in a 32-bit integer return value regardless of the size of the operation requested. So claiming to take a "void *" is wrong, as is passing in a pointer to just a byte variable. Noticed by pageexec when enabling -fstack-protector (which needs other patches too to actually work, but that's a separate issue).

2008-02-10Change pci_raw_ops to pci_raw_read/writeMatthew Wilcox1-19/+6
We want to allow different implementations of pci_raw_ops for standard and extended config space on x86. Rather than clutter generic code with knowledge of this, we make pci_raw_ops private to x86 and use it to implement the new raw interface -- raw_pci_read() and raw_pci_write().

2008-02-07ACPI: track opregion names to avoid driver resource conflicts.Thomas Renninger1-2/+173
Small ACPICA extension to be able to store the name of operation regions in osl.c later In ACPI, AML can define accesses to IO ports and System Memory by Operation Regions. Those are not registered as done by PNPACPI using resource templates (and _CRS/_SRS methods). The IO ports and System Memory regions may get accessed by arbitrary AML code. When native drivers are accessing the same resources bad things can happen (e.g. a critical shutdown temperature of 3000 C every 2 months or so). It is not really possible to register the operation regions via request_resource, as they often overlap with pnp or other resources (e.g. statically setup IO resources below 0x100). This approach stores all Operation Region declarations (IO and System Memory only) at ACPI table parse time. It offers a similar functionality like request_region and let drivers which are known to possibly use the same IO ports and Memory which are also often used by ACPI (hwmon and i2c) check for ACPI interference. A boot parameter acpi_enforce_resources=strict/lax/no is provided, which is default set to lax: - strict: let conflicting drivers fail to load with an error message - lax: let conflicting driver work normal with a warning message - no: no functional change at all Depending on the feedback and the kind of interferences we see, this should be set to strict at later time. Goal of this patch set is: - Identify ACPI interferences in bug reports (very hard to reproduce and to identify) - Find BIOSes for that an ACPI driver should exist for specific HW instead of a native one. - stability in general Provide acpi_check_{mem_}region. Drivers can additionally check against possible ACPI interference by also invoking this shortly before they call request_region. If -EBUSY is returned, the driver must not load. Use acpi_enforce_resources=strict/lax/no options to: - strict: let conflicting drivers fail to load with an error message - lax: let conflicting driver work normal with a warning message - no: no functional change at all Cc: "Mark M.

2008-01-24ACPI: Delete Intel Customer Reference Board (CRB) from OSI(Linux) DMI listLen Brown1-29/+0
Linux does not want BIOS writers to invoke _OSI(Linux) - for in the field it causes more Windows incompatibility problems than it solves. So when it is seen in the BIOS for an Intel Customer Reference Board, Linux should ignore its effect by default, and should complain loudly.

2007-12-14ACPI: tables: complete searching upon RSDP w/ bad checksum.Len Brown1-2/+6
ACPI tables follow a tree structure in memory. The root of the tree is the RSDP (Root System Description Pointer). To find the RSDP, the OS searches for the signature "RSD PTR " in well known physical memory locations. Then the OS computes a table checksum to verify that the signature is really part of a valid table header. Some systems have a proper signature but an invalid checksum; followed elsewhere by a proper signature with valid checksum. http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9444 The Linux RSDP scanning code bailed out on those systems and as a result they booted with ACPI disabled. Fix this by deleting the Linux RSDP scanning code and plugging in the ACPICA RSDP scanning code. Signed-off-by: Len Brown <len.brown@intel.com>

The following is a list of changes: 1.) the state name is now included in the sysfs interface 2.) detection, hotplug, and available state modifications are handled by CPUIDLE drivers directly 3.) the CPUIDLE idle handler is only ever installed when at least one cpuidle_device is enabled and ready 4.) the menu governor BM code no longer overflows 5.) the sysfs attributes are now printed as unsigned integers, avoiding negative values 6.) a variety of other small cleanups Also, Idle drivers are no longer swappable during runtime through the CPUIDLE sysfs inteface. On i386 and x86_64 most idle handlers (e.g. poll, mwait, halt, etc.) don't benefit from an infrastructure that supports multiple states, so I think using a more general case idle handler selection mechanism would be cleaner.

I call it the 'menu' governor because it considers the full list of idle states before each entry. I've kept the implementation fairly simple. It attempts to guess the next residency time and then chooses a state that would meet at least the break-even point between power savings and entry cost. To this end, it selects the deepest idle state that satisfies the following constraints: 1. If the idle time elapsed since bus master activity was detected is below a threshold (currently 20 ms), then limit the selection to C2-type or above. 2. Do not choose a state with a break-even residency that exceeds the expected time remaining until the next timer interrupt. 3. Do not choose a state with a break-even residency that exceeds the elapsed time between the last pair of break events, excluding timer interrupts. This governor has an advantage over "ladder" governor because it proactively checks how much time remains until the next timer interrupt using the tick infrastructure. Also, it handles device interrupt activity more intelligently by not including timer interrupts in break event calculations. Finally, it doesn't make policy decisions using the number of state entries, which can have variable residency times (NO_HZ makes these potentially very large), and instead only considers sleep time deltas. The menu governor can be selected during runtime using the cpuidle sysfs interface like so: "echo "menu" > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuidle/current_governor" Signed-off-by: Adam Belay <abelay@novell.com> Signed-off-by: Len Brown <len.brown@intel.com> commit a4bec7e65aa3b7488b879d971651cc99a6c410fe Author: Adam Belay <abelay@novell.com> Date: Sat Mar 24 03:47:03 2007 -0400 cpuidle: export time until next timer interrupt using NO_HZ Expose information about the time remaining until the next timer interrupt expires by utilizing the dynticks infrastructure.

A cpuidle driver can support multiple idle states based on parameters like varying power consumption, wakeup latency, etc (ACPI C-states for example). A cpuidle governor can be usage model specific (laptop, server, laptop on battery etc). Main advantage of the infrastructure being, it allows independent development of drivers and governors and allows for better CPU power management. A huge thanks to Adam Belay and Shaohua Li who were part of this mini-project since its beginning and are greatly responsible for this patchset. This patch: Core cpuidle infrastructure. Introduces a new abstraction layer for cpuidle: * which manages drivers that can support multiple idles states. Drivers can be generic or particular to specific hardware/platform * allows pluging in multiple policy governors that can take idle state policy decision * The core also has a set of sysfs interfaces with which administrato can know about supported drivers and governors and switch them at run time.

2007-10-10drivers/firmware: const-ify DMI API and internalsJeff Garzik1-1/+1
Three main sets of changes: 1) dmi_get_system_info() return value should have been marked const, since callers should not be changing that data. 2) const-ify DMI internals, since DMI firmware tables should, whenever possible, be marked const to ensure we never ever write to that data area. 3) const-ify DMI API, to enable marking tables const where possible in low-level drivers. And if we're really lucky, this might enable some additional optimizations on the part of the compiler. The bulk of the changes are #2 and #3, which are interrelated. #1 could have been a separate patch, but it was so small compared to the others, it was easier to roll it into this changeset.

2007-06-09ACPI: disable _OSI(Linux) by defaultLen Brown1-37/+1
In Linux-2.6.22 we expanded the boot parameter osi= so that it can enable and !enable an OSI string. _OSI(Linux) is a special case because we know that there are both systems that require it set, and systems require that it _not_ to be set. In the long term it can't be set, for the same reason _OS(Linux) can't be enabled -- it tends to confuse BIOS that are not properly validated with Linux. Further, the semantics and version information of _OSI(Linux) were never actually defined. The kernel prints out a message if it sees _OSI(Linux) requested, and there is a DMI workaround to invoke "osi=Linux" automatically for existing systems that need it. http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7787 Signed-off-by: Len Brown <len.brown@intel.com>

2007-05-30ACPI: Make _OSI(Linux) a special caseLen Brown1-0/+91
_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: created a dedicated workqueue for notify() executionAlexey Starikovskiy1-10/+35
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>
