The patch is mainly aimed to block native hwmon drivers from touching monitoring chips that ACPI thinks it own. If this causes a regression, boot with "acpi_enforce_resources=lax" which was the previous default. http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12376 http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12541 Signed-off-by: Luca Tettamanti <kronos.it@gmail.com> Acked-by: Pavel Machek <pavel@suse.cz> Acked-by: Jean Delvare <khali@linux-fr.org> Signed-off-by: Len Brown <len.brown@intel.com>

| | * | | thinkpad-acpi: rework brightness supportHenrique de Moraes Holschuh2009-04-04
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Refactor and redesign the brightness control backend... In order to fix bugzilla #11750... Add a new brightness control mode: support direct NVRAM checkpointing of the backlight level (i.e. store directly to NVRAM without the need for UCMS calls), and use that together with the EC-based control. Disallow UCMS+EC, thus avoiding races with the SMM firmware. Switch the models that define HBRV (EC Brightness Value) in the DSDT to the new mode. These are: T40-T43, R50-R52, R50e, R51e, X31-X41. Change the default for all other IBM ThinkPads to UCMS-only. The Lenovo models already default to UCMS-only.

Also, log a warning if the deprecated sysfs attributes are in use. These attributes are going to be removed sometime in 2010. There is an user-visible side-effect: we now coalesce attempts to enable/disable bluetooth or WWAN in the procfs interface, instead of hammering the firmware with multiple requests.

| | * | | thinkpad-acpi: restrict access to some firmware LEDsHenrique de Moraes Holschuh2009-04-04
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Some of the ThinkPad LEDs indicate critical conditions that can cause data loss or cause hardware damage when ignored (e.g. force-ejecting a powered up bay; ignoring a failing battery, or empty battery; force- undocking with the dock buses still active, etc). On almost all ThinkPads, LED access is write-only, and the firmware usually does fire-and-forget signaling on them, so you effectively lose whatever message the firmware was trying to convey to the user when you override the LED state, without any chance to restore it. Restrict access to all LEDs that can convey important alarms, or that could mislead the user into incorrectly operating the hardware. This will make the Lenovo engineers less unhappy about the whole issue. Allow users that really want it to still control all LEDs, it is the unaware user that we have to worry about.

| | * | | thinkpad-acpi: remove HKEY disable functionalityHenrique de Moraes Holschuh2009-04-04

Remove this functionality from the driver. HKEY must be enabled at all times while thinkpad-acpi is loaded, and disabled otherwise. For sysfs, according to the sysfs ABI and the thinkpad-acpi sysfs rules of engagement, we will just remove the attributes. This will be done in two stages: disable their function now, after two kernel releases, remove the attributes. For procfs, we call WARN(). If nothing triggers it, I will simply remove the enable/disable commands entirely in the future along with the sysfs attributes. I don't expect much, if any fallout from this. There really isn't any reason to mess with hotkey_enable or with the enable/disable commands to /proc/acpi/ibm/hotkey, and this has been true for years...

This is highly useful when dealing with bug reports, since often the user has no idea that some userspace application is accessing thinkpad-acpi... Also add a helper to log warnings about sysfs attributes that are deprecated. Use the new helpers to issue deprecation warnings for bluetooth_enable and wwan_enabled, that have been deprecated for a while, now.

If the buffer is full, the following events will be lost. Events should not be lost, so the documentation instructs the user to increase the buffer size. The buffer size is set via a debugfs file. Mmiotrace documentation was not updated the same time the debugfs file was changed. The old file was tracing/trace_entries and first contained the number of entries the buffer had space for, per cpu. Nowadays this file is replaced with the file tracing/buffer_size_kb, which tells the amount of memory reserved for the buffer, per cpu, in kilobytes. Previously, a flag had to be toggled via the debugfs file tracing/tracing_enabled when the buffer size was changed. This is no longer necessary. The mmiotrace documentation is updated to reflect the current state of the tracing framework.
