2010-09-29	ACPI, APEI, Fix acpi_pre_map() return value	Jin Dongming
	After we ioremap() a new region, we call __acpi_try_ioremap() to see whether another thread has already mapped the same region. This check clobbers "vaddr", so compute the return value of acpi_pre_map() using the ioremap() result "map->vaddr" instead. v2: Modified the unsuitable description of patch. v3: Removed unlikely() check and made description simpler.

	Implicit slab.h inclusion via percpu.h is about to go away. Make sure gfp.h or slab.h is included as necessary. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Cc: Stephen Rothwell <sfr@canb.auug.org.au> Cc: Len Brown <lenb@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Stephen Rothwell <sfr@canb.auug.org.au>
2010-05-19	ACPI, IO memory pre-mapping and atomic accessing	Huang Ying
	Some ACPI IO accessing need to be done in atomic context. For example, APEI ERST operations may be used for permanent storage in hardware error handler. That is, it may be called in atomic contexts such as IRQ or NMI, etc. And, ERST/EINJ implement their operations via IO memory/port accessing. But the IO memory accessing method provided by ACPI (acpi_read/acpi_write) maps the IO memory during it is accessed, so it can not be used in atomic context. To solve the issue, the IO memory should be pre-mapped during EINJ/ERST initializing. A linked list is used to record which memory area has been mapped, when memory is accessed in hardware error handler, search the linked list for the mapped virtual address from the given physical address.
