| | * ACPI: Reduce ACPI resource conflict message to KERN_WARNING, printk cleanupChase Douglas2010-04-04
| |/ |/| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | By default, ACPI resource conflict messages are logged at level KERN_ERR. This is a rather high level for a message that is more a warning than an indication of a real kernel error. Also, KERN_ERR level messages can appear over some boot splash screens, and this message is not serious enough to warrant such treatment. Thus, the log level has been reduced to KERN_WARNING. [lenb changed to KERN_WARNING rather than all the way to KERN_INFO] Also, cleanup message to use %pR resource printing format.

* ACPI: Clarify resource conflict messageJean Delvare2009-09-27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The message "ACPI: Device needs an ACPI driver" is misleading. The device _may_ need an ACPI driver, if the BIOS implemented a custom API for the device in question (which, AFAIK, can't be checked.) If not, then either a generic ACPI driver may be used (for example "thermal"), or nothing can be done (other than a white list). I propose to reword the message to: ACPI: If an ACPI driver is available for this device, you should use it instead of the native driver which I think is more correct. Comments and suggestions welcome. I also added a message warning about possible problems and system instability when users pass acpi_enforce_resources=lax, as suggested by Len.

* ACPICA: fix leak of acpi_os_validate_addressLin Ming2009-08-27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* ACPI: bind workqueues to CPU 0 to avoid SMI corruptionBjorn Helgaas2009-08-02
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | On some machines, a software-initiated SMI causes corruption unless the SMI runs on CPU 0. An SMI can be initiated by any AML, but typically it's done in GPE-related methods that are run via workqueues, so we can avoid the known corruption cases by binding the workqueues to CPU 0.

* ACPI: fix a deadlock in hotplug caseZhang Rui2009-06-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | we used to run the hotplug code in keventd_wq. But when hot removing the ACPI battery device, power_supply_unregister invokes flush_scheduled_work. This causes a deadlock. i.e 1. When dock is unplugged, all the hotplug code is run on kevent_wq. 2. the hotplug code removes all the child devices of dock device. 3. removing the child device may invoke flush_scheduled_work 4. flush_scheduled_work waits until all the work on kevent_wq to be finished, while this will never be true because the hotplug code is running on keventd_wq...

* ACPI: Remove ACPI_CUSTOM_DSDT_INITRD optionLinus Torvalds2008-03-15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This essentially reverts commit 71fc47a9adf8ee89e5c96a47222915c5485ac437 ("ACPI: basic initramfs DSDT override support"), because the code simply isn't ready. It did ugly things to the init sequence to populate the rootfs image early, but that just ended up showing other problems with the whole approach. The fact is, the VFS layer simply isn't initialized this early, and the relevant ACPI code should either run much later, or this shouldn't be done at all. For 2.6.25, we'll just pick the latter option. We can revisit this concept later if necessary.

| * | ACPI: track opregion names to avoid driver resource conflicts.Thomas Renninger2008-02-07

Those are not registered as done by PNPACPI using resource templates (and _CRS/_SRS methods). The IO ports and System Memory regions may get accessed by arbitrary AML code. When native drivers are accessing the same resources bad things can happen (e.g. a critical shutdown temperature of 3000 C every 2 months or so). It is not really possible to register the operation regions via request_resource, as they often overlap with pnp or other resources (e.g. statically setup IO resources below 0x100). This approach stores all Operation Region declarations (IO and System Memory only) at ACPI table parse time. It offers a similar functionality like request_region and let drivers which are known to possibly use the same IO ports and Memory which are also often used by ACPI (hwmon and i2c) check for ACPI interference. A boot parameter acpi_enforce_resources=strict/lax/no is provided, which is default set to lax: - strict: let conflicting drivers fail to load with an error message - lax: let conflicting driver work normal with a warning message - no: no functional change at all Depending on the feedback and the kind of interferences we see, this should be set to strict at later time. Goal of this patch set is: - Identify ACPI interferences in bug reports (very hard to reproduce and to identify) - Find BIOSes for that an ACPI driver should exist for specific HW instead of a native one. - stability in general Provide acpi_check_{mem_}region. Drivers can additionally check against possible ACPI interference by also invoking this shortly before they call request_region. If -EBUSY is returned, the driver must not load. Use acpi_enforce_resources=strict/lax/no options to: - strict: let conflicting drivers fail to load with an error message - lax: let conflicting driver work normal with a warning message - no: no functional change at all Cc: "Mark M.
