<content type='text'>
This patch provides the same information through debugfs, which previously was
provided through /proc/acpi/embedded_controller/*/info

This is the gpe the EC is connected to and whether the global lock
gets used.
The io ports used are added to /proc/ioports in another patch.
Beside the fact that /proc/acpi is deprecated for quite some time,
this info is not needed for applications and thus can be moved
to debugfs instead of a public interface like /sys.

Hardware Error Device (PNP0C33) is used to report some hardware errors
notified via SCI, mainly the corrected errors. Some APEI Generic
Hardware Error Source (GHES) may use SCI on hardware error device to
notify hardware error to kernel.

After receiving notification from ACPI core, it is forwarded to all
listeners via a notifier chain. The listener such as APEI GHES should
check corresponding error source for new events when notified.

Now, a dedicated HEST tabling parsing code is used for PCIE AER
firmware_first setup. It is rebased on general HEST tabling parsing
code of APEI. The firmware_first setup code is moved from PCI core to
AER driver too, because it is only AER related.

APEI stands for ACPI Platform Error Interface, which allows to report
errors (for example from the chipset) to the operating system. This
improves NMI handling especially. In addition it supports error
serialization and error injection.

For more information about APEI, please refer to ACPI Specification
version 4.0, chapter 17.

This patch provides some common functions used by more than one APEI
tables, mainly framework of interpreter for EINJ and ERST.

A machine readable language is defined for EINJ and ERST for OS to
execute, and so to drive the firmware to fulfill the corresponding
functions. The machine language for EINJ and ERST is compatible, so a
common framework is defined for them.

<title>ACPI, IO memory pre-mapping and atomic accessing</title>

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.

We've renamed the old processor_core.c to processor_driver.c, to
convey the idea that it can be built modular and has driver-like
bits.

Now let's re-create a processor_core.c for the bits needed
statically by the rest of the kernel. The contents of processor_pdc.c
are a good starting spot, so let's just rename that file and
complete our three card monte.
