2009-09-10ACPI button: provide lid status functionsJesse Barnes
Some drivers need to know when a lid event occurs and get the current status. This can be useful for when a platform firmware clobbers some hardware state at lid time, and a driver needs to restore things when the lid is opened again.

2009-09-09PCI / ACPI PM: Propagate wake-up enable for devices w/o ACPI supportRafael J. Wysocki
Some PCI devices (not PCI Express), like PCI add-on cards, can generate PME#, but they don't have any special platform wake-up support. For this reason, even if they generate PME# to wake up the system from a sleep state, wake-up events are not generated by the platform. It turns out that, at least on some systems, PCI bridges and the PCI host bridge have ACPI GPEs associated with them that, if enabled to generate wake-up events, allow the system to wake up if one of the add-on devices asserts PME# while the system is in a sleep state. Following this observation, if a PCI device without direct ACPI wake-up support is prepared to wake up the system during a transition into a sleep state (eg. suspend to RAM), try to configure the bridges on the path from the device to the root bridge to wake-up the system.

2009-09-09ACPI PM: Replace wakeup.prepared with reference counterRafael J. Wysocki
The wakeup.prepared flag is used for marking devices that have the wake-up power already enabled, so that the wake-up power is not enabled twice in a row for the same device. This assumes, however, that device wake-up power will only be enabled once, while the device is being prepared for a system-wide sleep transition, and the second attempt is made by acpi_enable_wakeup_device_prep(). With the upcoming PCI wake-up rework this assumption will not hold any more for PCI bridges and the root bridge whose wake-up power may be enabled as a result of wake-up enable propagation from other devices (eg. add-on devices that are not associated with any GPEs). Thus, there may be many attempts to enable wake-up power on a PCI bridge or the root bridge during a system power state transition and it's better to replace wakeup.prepared with a reference counter.

2009-09-08ACPICA: Fix memory leak for ill-formed Package objectsBob Moore
Fixes a possible memory leak in the interpreter for package objects if the package initializer list is longer than the defined size of the package. This apparently can only happen if the BIOS changes the package size on the fly (seen in a _PSS object), as both iASL and the other compiler do not allow this. The interpreter will truncate the package to the defined size (and issue an error message), but can leave the extra objects undeleted if they have been pre-created during the argument processing (such is the case if the package consists of a number of sub-packages as in the _PSS.)

2009-09-08dmi: extend dmi_get_year() to dmi_get_date()Tejun Heo
There are cases where full date information is required instead of just the year. Add month and day parsing to dmi_get_year() and rename it to dmi_get_date(). As the original function only required '/' followed by any number of parseable characters at the end of the string, keep that behavior to avoid upsetting existing users. The new function takes dates of format [mm[/dd]]/yy[yy]. Year, month and date are checked to be in the ranges of [1-9999], [1-12] and [1-31] respectively and any invalid or out-of-range component is returned as zero. The dummy implementation is updated accordingly but the return value is updated to indicate field not found which is consistent with how other dummy functions behave.

2009-08-29ACPI: EC: Merge IRQ and POLL modesAlexey Starikovskiy
In general, EC transaction should complete in less than 1ms, thus it is possible to merge wait for 1ms in poll mode and 1ms of interrupt transaction timeout. Still, driver will wait 500ms for EC to complete transaction. This significantly simplifies driver and makes it immune to problematic EC interrupt implementations. It also may lessen kernel start-up time by 500ms.

2009-08-29ACPI battery: work around negative s16 battery current on AcerHector Martin
Acer Aspire 8930G laptops (and possibly others) report the battery current as a 16-bit signed negative when it is charging. It also reports it as 0x10000 when the current is 0. This patch adds a quirk for this which takes the absolute value of the reported current cast to an s16. This is a DSDT bug present in the latest BIOS revision (the EC register is 16 bits signed and the DSDT attempts to take the 16-bit two's complement of this, which works for discharge but not charge. It also breaks zero values because a 32-bit register is used and the high bits aren't thrown away). I've enabled this for all Acer systems which report in mA units. This should be safe since it won't break compliant systems unless they report a current above 32A, which is insane. The patch also detects the valid 32-bit value -1, which indicates unknown status, and does not attempt the fix in that case (note that this does not conflict with 16-bit -1, which is 65535 as read normally and gets translated to 1mA).

http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13620 If the dynamic region is created and added to resource list over and over again, it has the potential to be a memory leak by growing the list every time. This patch fixes the memory leak, as below 1) add a new field "count" to struct acpi_res_list. When inserting, if the region(addr, len) is already in the resource list, we just increase "count", otherwise, the region is inserted with count=1. When deleting, the "count" is decreased, if it's decreased to 0, the region is deleted from the resource list. With "count", the region with same address and length can only be inserted to the resource list once, so prevent potential memory leak. 2) add a new function acpi_os_invalidate_address, which is called when region is deleted.
