2009-11-24[ACPI/CPUFREQ] Introduce bios_limit per cpu cpufreq sysfs interfaceThomas Renninger
This interface is mainly intended (and implemented) for ACPI _PPC BIOS frequency limitations, but other cpufreq drivers can also use it for similar use-cases. Why is this needed: Currently it's not obvious why cpufreq got limited. People see cpufreq/scaling_max_freq reduced, but this could have happened by: - any userspace prog writing to scaling_max_freq - thermal limitations - hardware (_PPC in ACPI case) limitiations Therefore export bios_limit (in kHz) to: - Point the user that it's the BIOS (broken or intended) which limits frequency - Export it as a sysfs interface for userspace progs. While this was a rarely used feature on laptops, there will appear more and more server implemenations providing "Green IT" features like allowing the service processor to limit the frequency. People want to know about HW/BIOS frequency limitations. All ACPI P-state driven cpufreq drivers are covered with this patch: - powernow-k8 - powernow-k7 - acpi-cpufreq Tested with a patched DSDT which limits the first two cores (_PPC returns 1) via _PPC, exposed by bios_limit: # echo 2200000 >cpu2/cpufreq/scaling_max_freq # cat cpu*/cpufreq/scaling_max_freq 2600000 2600000 2200000 2200000 # #scaling_max_freq shows general user/thermal/BIOS limitations # cat cpu*/cpufreq/bios_limit 2600000 2600000 2800000 2800000 # #bios_limit only shows the HW/BIOS limitation CC: Pallipadi Venkatesh <venkatesh.pallipadi@intel.com> CC: Len Brown <lenb@kernel.org> CC: davej@codemonkey.org.uk CC: linux@dominikbrodowski.net Signed-off-by: Thomas Renninger <trenn@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Dave Jones <davej@redhat.com>
2009-11-06ACPI: Notify the _PPC evaluation status to the platformZhao Yakui
According to the ACPI spec(section 8.4.4.3) OSPM should convey the _PPC evaluations status to the platform if there exists the _OST object. The _OST contains two arguments: The first is the PERFORMANCE notificatin event. The second is the status of _PPC object. OSPM will convey the _PPC evaluation status to the platform. Of course when the module parameter of "ignore_ppc" is added, OSPM won't evaluate the _PPC object. But it will call the _OST object. At the same time the _OST object will be evaluated only when the PERFORMANCE notification event is received.

2009-11-04PCI: PCIe AER: honor ACPI HEST FIRMWARE FIRST modeMatt Domsch
Feedback from Hidetoshi Seto and Kenji Kaneshige incorporated. This correctly handles PCI-X bridges, PCIe root ports and endpoints, and prints debug messages when invalid/reserved types are found in the HEST. PCI devices not in domain/segment 0 are not represented in HEST, thus will be ignored. Today, the PCIe Advanced Error Reporting (AER) driver attaches itself to every PCIe root port for which BIOS reports it should, via ACPI _OSC. However, _OSC alone is insufficient for newer BIOSes. Part of ACPI 4.0 is the new APEI (ACPI Platform Error Interfaces) which is a way for OS and BIOS to handshake over which errors for which components each will handle. One table in ACPI 4.0 is the Hardware Error Source Table (HEST), where BIOS can define that errors for certain PCIe devices (or all devices), should be handled by BIOS ("Firmware First mode"), rather than be handled by the OS. Dell PowerEdge 11G server BIOS defines Firmware First mode in HEST, so that it may manage such errors, log them to the System Event Log, and possibly take other actions. The aer driver should honor this, and not attach itself to devices noted as such. Furthermore, Kenji Kaneshige reminded us to disallow changing the AER registers when respecting Firmware First mode. Platform firmware is expected to manage these, and if changes to them are allowed, it could break that firmware's behavior. The HEST parsing code may be replaced in the future by a more feature-rich implementation. This patch provides the minimum needed to prevent breakage until that implementation is available.

2009-09-25ACPI: identify device tree root by null parent pointer, not ACPI_BUS_TYPEBjorn Helgaas

This is simpler than passing around ACPI_BUS_TYPE_SYSTEM and will help remove special treatment of the device tree root. Currently, we add the root by hand with ACPI_BUS_TYPE_SYSTEM. If we traverse the tree treating the root as just another device and use acpi_get_type(), the root shows up as ACPI_TYPE_DEVICE.

Most uses of the ACPI bus device_type (ACPI_BUS_TYPE_DEVICE, ACPI_BUS_TYPE_POWER, etc) are during device initialization, but we do need it later for notify handler installation, since that is different for fixed hardware devices vs. namespace devices. This patch saves the device_type in the acpi_device structure, so we can check that rather than comparing against the _HID string.

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.

2009-08-27ACPICA: fix leak of acpi_os_validate_addressLin Ming
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.

2009-08-26ACPI processor: force throttling state when BIOS returns incorrect valueFrans Pop
If the BIOS reports an invalid throttling state (which seems to be fairly common after system boot), a reset is done to state T0. Because of a check in acpi_processor_get_throttling_ptc(), the reset never actually gets executed, which results in the error reoccurring on every access of for example /proc/acpi/processor/CPU0/throttling. Add a 'force' option to acpi_processor_set_throttling() to ensure the reset really takes effect. Addresses http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13389 This patch, together with the next one, fixes a regression introduced in 2.6.30, listed on the regression list. They have been available for 2.5 months now in bugzilla, but have not been picked up, despite various reminders and without any reason given. Google shows that numerous people are hitting this issue. The issue is in itself relatively minor, but the bug in the code is clear.
