ACPI: Use ACPICA native way to decode the PLD buffer

2012-09-21T04:31:33+00:00

This patch is on top of the ACPICA 20120816 release, which implemented a native way to decode PLD buffer, so use it instead of leting upper level users do the decoding. v2: Modify the check for PLD buffer length to reject buffers whose length < 16 Signed-off-by: Feng Tang Signed-off-by: Bob Moore Signed-off-by: Len Brown

ACPI: Add an interface to evaluate _OST

2012-06-04T05:09:14+00:00

Added acpi_evaluate_hotplug_opt(). All ACPI hotplug handlers must call this function when evaluating _OST for hotplug operations. If the platform does not support _OST, this function returns AE_NOT_FOUND and has no effect on the platform. ACPI_HOTPLUG_OST is defined when all relevant ACPI hotplug operations, such as CPU, memory and container hotplug, are enabled. This assures consistent behavior among the hotplug operations with regarding the _OST support. When ACPI_HOTPLUG_OST is not defined, this function is a no-op. ACPI PCI hotplug is not enhanced to support _OST at this time since it is a legacy method being replaced by PCIe native hotplug. _OST support for ACPI PCI hotplug may be added in future if necessary. Some platforms may require the OS to support _OST in order to support ACPI hotplug operations. For example, if a platform has the management console where user can request a hotplug operation from, this _OST support would be required for the management console to show the result of the hotplug request to user. Added macro definitions of _OST source events and status codes. Also renamed OSC_SB_CPUHP_OST_SUPPORT to OSC_SB_HOTPLUG_OST_SUPPORT since this _OSC bit is not specific to CPU hotplug. This bit is defined in Table 6-147 of ACPI 5.0 as follows. Bits: 3 Field Name: Insertion / Ejection _OST Processing Support Definition: This bit is set if OSPM will evaluate the _OST object defined under a device when processing insertion and ejection source event codes.

include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h

2010-03-30T13:02:32+00:00

percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies. percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is used as the basis of conversion. http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py The script does the followings. * Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used, gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h. * When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered - alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there doesn't seem to be any matching order. * If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the file. The conversion was done in the following steps. 1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400 files. 2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion, some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added inclusions to around 150 files. 3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits from #2 to make sure no file was left behind. 4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed. e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually. 5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as necessary. 6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h. 7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq). * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config. * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig * ia64 SMP allmodconfig * s390 SMP allmodconfig * alpha SMP allmodconfig * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig 8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as a separate patch and serve as bisection point. Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step 6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch. If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of the specific arch.

ACPI: Move definition of PREFIX from acpi_bus.h to internal..h

2009-08-28T23:57:27+00:00

Linux/ACPI core files using internal.h all PREFIX "ACPI: ", however, not all ACPI drivers use/want it -- and they should not have to #undef PREFIX to define their own. Add GPL commment to internal.h while we are there. This does not change any actual console output, asside from a whitespace fix. Signed-off-by: Len Brown

ACPI: scheduling in atomic via acpi_evaluate_integer ()

2008-11-26T22:39:06+00:00

Now I know why I had strange "scheduling in atomic" problems: acpi_evaluate_integer() does malloc(..., irqs_disabled() ? GFP_ATOMIC : GFP_KERNEL)... which is (of course) broken. There's no way to reliably tell if we need GFP_ATOMIC or not from code, this one for example fails to detect spinlocks held. Fortunately, allocation seems small enough to be done on stack.

ACPI: Change acpi_evaluate_integer to support 64-bit on 32-bit kernels

2008-10-11T06:47:33+00:00

As of version 2.0, ACPI can return 64-bit integers. The current acpi_evaluate_integer only supports 64-bit integers on 64-bit platforms. Change the argument to take a pointer to an acpi_integer so we support 64-bit integers on all platforms. lenb: replaced use of "acpi_integer" with "unsigned long long" lenb: fixed bug in acpi_thermal_trips_update() Signed-off-by: Matthew Wilcox Signed-off-by: Len Brown
