What: /sys/firmware/acpi/fpdt/
Date: Jan 2021
Contact: Zhang Rui <rui.zhang@intel.com>
Description:
ACPI Firmware Performance Data Table (FPDT) provides
information for firmware performance data for system boot,
S3 suspend and S3 resume. This sysfs entry contains the
performance data retrieved from the FPDT.
boot:
firmware_start_ns: Timer value logged at the beginning
of firmware image execution. In nanoseconds.
bootloader_load_ns: Timer value logged just prior to
loading the OS boot loader into memory.
In nanoseconds.
bootloader_launch_ns: Timer value logged just prior to
launching the currently loaded OS boot loader
image. In nanoseconds.
exitbootservice_start_ns: Timer value logged at the
point when the OS loader calls the
ExitBootServices function for UEFI compatible
firmware. In nanoseconds.
exitbootservice_end_ns: Timer value logged at the point
just prior to the OS loader gaining control
back from the ExitBootServices function for
UEFI compatible firmware. In nanoseconds.
suspend:
suspend_start_ns: Timer value recorded at the previous
OS write to SLP_TYP upon entry to S3. In
nanoseconds.
suspend_end_ns: Timer value recorded at the previous
firmware write to SLP_TYP used to trigger
hardware entry to S3. In nanoseconds.
resume:
resume_count: A count of the number of S3 resume cycles
since the last full boot sequence.
resume_avg_ns: Average timer value of all resume cycles
logged since the last full boot sequence,
including the most recent resume. In nanoseconds.
resume_prev_ns: Timer recorded at the end of the previous
platform runtime firmware S3 resume, just prior to
handoff to the OS waking vector. In nanoseconds.

Date: January 2012
Contact: Matthew Garrett <mjg@redhat.com>
Description:
The BGRT is an ACPI 5.0 feature that allows the OS
to obtain a copy of the firmware boot splash and
some associated metadata. This is intended to be used
by boot splash applications in order to interact with
the firmware boot splash in order to avoid jarring
transitions.
image: The image bitmap. Currently a 32-bit BMP.
status: 1 if the image is valid, 0 if firmware invalidated it.
type: 0 indicates image is in BMP format.
======== ===================================================
version: The version of the BGRT. Currently 1.
xoffset: The number of pixels between the left of the screen
and the left edge of the image.
yoffset: The number of pixels between the top of the screen
and the top edge of the image.
======== ===================================================
What: /sys/firmware/acpi/hotplug/
Date: February 2013
Contact: Rafael J. Wysocki <rafael.j.wysocki@intel.com>
Description:
There are separate hotplug profiles for different classes of
devices supported by ACPI, such as containers, memory modules,
processors, PCI root bridges etc. A hotplug profile for a given
class of devices is a collection of settings defining the way
that class of devices will be handled by the ACPI core hotplug
code. Those profiles are represented in sysfs as subdirectories
of /sys/firmware/acpi/hotplug/.
The following setting is available to user space for each
hotplug profile:
======== =======================================================
enabled: If set, the ACPI core will handle notifications of
hotplug events associated with the given class of
devices and will allow those devices to be ejected with
the help of the _EJ0 control method. Unsetting it
effectively disables hotplug for the corresponding
class of devices.
======== =======================================================
The value of the above attribute is an integer number: 1 (set)
or 0 (unset). Attempts to write any other values to it will
cause -EINVAL to be returned.
What: /sys/firmware/acpi/interrupts/
Date: February 2008
Contact: Len Brown <lenb@kernel.org>
Description:
All ACPI interrupts are handled via a single IRQ,
the System Control Interrupt (SCI), which appears
as "acpi" in /proc/interrupts.
However, one of the main functions of ACPI is to make
the platform understand random hardware without
special driver support. So while the SCI handles a few
well known (fixed feature) interrupts sources, such
as the power button, it can also handle a variable
number of a "General Purpose Events" (GPE).
A GPE vectors to a specified handler in AML, which
can do a anything the BIOS writer wants from
OS context. GPE 0x12, for example, would vector
to a level or edge handler called _L12 or _E12.
The handler may do its business and return.
Or the handler may send send a Notify event
to a Linux device driver registered on an ACPI device,
such as a battery, or a processor.
To figure out where all the SCI's are coming from,
/sys/firmware/acpi/interrupts contains a file listing
every possible source, and the count of how many
times it has triggered::
$ cd /sys/firmware/acpi/interrupts

error an interrupt that can't be accounted for above.
invalid it's either a GPE or a Fixed Event that
doesn't have an event handler.
disable the GPE/Fixed Event is valid but disabled.
enable the GPE/Fixed Event is valid and enabled.
=========== ==================================================
Root has permission to clear any of these counters. Eg.::
# echo 0 > gpe11
All counters can be cleared by clearing the total "sci"::
# echo 0 > sci
None of these counters has an effect on the function
of the system, they are simply statistics.
Besides this, user can also write specific strings to these files
to enable/disable/clear ACPI interrupts in user space, which can be
used to debug some ACPI interrupt storm issues.
Note that only writing to VALID GPE/Fixed Event is allowed,
i.e. user can only change the status of runtime GPE and
Fixed Event with event handler installed.
Let's take power button fixed event for example, please kill acpid
and other user space applications so that the machine won't shutdown
when pressing the power button::
# cat ff_pwr_btn
0 enabled
# press the power button for 3 times;
# cat ff_pwr_btn
3 enabled
# echo disable > ff_pwr_btn
# cat ff_pwr_btn
3 disabled
# press the power button for 3 times;
# cat ff_pwr_btn
3 disabled
# echo enable > ff_pwr_btn
# cat ff_pwr_btn
4 enabled
/*
* this is because the status bit is set even if the enable
* bit is cleared, and it triggers an ACPI fixed event when
* the enable bit is set again
*/
# press the power button for 3 times;
# cat ff_pwr_btn
7 enabled
# echo disable > ff_pwr_btn
# press the power button for 3 times;
# echo clear > ff_pwr_btn /* clear the status bit */
# echo disable > ff_pwr_btn
# cat ff_pwr_btn
7 enabled
