* sysfs: kill unnecessary attribute->ownerTejun Heo2007-07-11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | sysfs is now completely out of driver/module lifetime game. After deletion, a sysfs node doesn't access anything outside sysfs proper, so there's no reason to hold onto the attribute owners. Note that often the wrong modules were accounted for as owners leading to accessing removed modules. This patch kills now unnecessary attribute->owner. Note that with this change, userland holding a sysfs node does not prevent the backing module from being unloaded. For more info regarding lifetime rule cleanup, please read the following message. http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel/510293 (tweaked by Greg to not delete the field just yet, to make it easier to merge things properly.)

* DMI-based module autoloadingLennart Poettering2007-07-11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The patch below adds DMI/SMBIOS based module autoloading to the Linux kernel. The idea is to load laptop drivers automatically (and other drivers which cannot be autoloaded otherwise), based on the DMI system identification information of the BIOS. Right now most distros manually try to load all available laptop drivers on bootup in the hope that at least one of them loads successfully. This patch does away with all that, and uses udev to automatically load matching drivers on the right machines. Basically the patch just exports the DMI information that has been parsed by the kernel anyway to userspace via a sysfs device /sys/class/dmi/id and makes sure that proper modalias attributes are available. Besides adding the "modalias" attribute it also adds attributes for a few other DMI fields which might be useful for writing udev rules. This patch is not an attempt to export the entire DMI/SMBIOS data to userspace. We already have "dmidecode" which parses the complete DMI info from userspace. The purpose of this patch is machine model identification and good udev integration. To take advantage of DMI based module autoloading, a driver should export one or more MODULE_ALIAS fields similar to these: MODULE_ALIAS("dmi:*:svnMICRO-STARINT'LCO.,LTD:pnMS-1013:pvr0131*:cvnMICRO-STARINT'LCO.,LTD:ct10:*"); MODULE_ALIAS("dmi:*:svnMicro-StarInternational:pnMS-1058:pvr0581:rvnMSI:rnMS-1058:*:ct10:*"); MODULE_ALIAS("dmi:*:svnMicro-StarInternational:pnMS-1412:*:rvnMSI:rnMS-1412:*:cvnMICRO-STARINT'LCO.,LTD:ct10:*"); MODULE_ALIAS("dmi:*:svnNOTEBOOK:pnSAM2000:pvr0131*:cvnMICRO-STARINT'LCO.,LTD:ct10:*"); These lines are specific to my msi-laptop.c driver. They are basically just a concatenation of a few carefully selected DMI fields with all potentially bad characters stripped. Besides laptop drivers, modules like "hdaps", the i2c modules and the hwmon modules are good candidates for "dmi:" MODULE_ALIAS lines. Besides merely exporting the DMI data via sysfs the patch adds support for a few more DMI fields. Especially the CHASSIS fields are very useful to identify different laptop modules. The patch also adds working MODULE_ALIAS lines to my msi-laptop.c driver. I'd like to thank Kay Sievers for helping me to clean up this patch for posting it on lkml. Patch is against Linus' current GIT HEAD. Should probably apply to older kernels as well without modification.

* Remove the blink driverLinus Torvalds2007-07-04
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Yeah, we could have just disabled it, but there's work on a new one that isn't as fundamentally broken, so there really doesn't seem to be any point in keeping it around. The recent timer cleanup broke the only valid use, and when I say "valid", I obviously mean "totally broken".

| * ACPI: thinkpad-acpi: do not use named sysfs groupsHenrique de Moraes Holschuh2007-05-31
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The initial version of the thinkpad-acpi sysfs interface (not yet released in any stable mainline kernel) made liberal use of named sysfs groups, in order to get the attributes more organized. This proved to be a really bad design decision. Maybe if attribute groups were as flexible as a real directory, and if binary attributes were not second-class citizens, the idea of subdirs and named groups would not have been so bad. This patch makes all the thinkpad-acpi sysfs groups anonymous (thus removing the subdirs), adds the former group names as a prefix (so that hotkey/enable becomes hotkey_enable for example), and updates the documentation. These changes will make the thinkpad-acpi sysfs ABI a lot easier to maintain. Signed-off-by: Henrique de Moraes Holschuh <hmh@hmh.eng.br> Signed-off-by: Len Brown <len.brown@intel.com>

| * acpi,msi-laptop: Fall back to EC polling mode for MSI laptop specific EC ↵Lennart Poettering2007-05-10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | commands The ACPI EC that is used in MSI laptops knows some non-standard commands for changing the screen brighntess and a few other things, which are used by the msi-laptop.c driver. Unfortunately for these commands no GPE events for IBF and OBF are triggered. Since nowadays the EC code uses the ec_intr=1 mode by default, this causes these operations to timeout, although they don't fail. In result, all operations that you can do with the msi-laptop.c driver take more or less 1s to complete, which is awfully slow. In one of the more recent kernels (2.6.20?) the EC subsystem has been revamped. With that change the EC timeout has been increased. before that increase the MSI EC accesses were slow -- but not *that* slow, hence I took notice of this limitation of the MSI EC hardware only very recently. The standard EC operations on the MSI EC as defined in the ACPI spec support GPE events properly. The following patch adds a new argument "force_poll" to the ec_transaction() function (and friends). If set to 1, the function will poll for IBF/OBF even if ec_intr=1 is enabled. If set to 0 the current behaviour is used. The msi-laptop driver is modified to make use of this new flag, so that OBF/IBF is polled for the special MSI EC transactions -- but only for them.

Here is an attempt to clean it all up. In order to find all possibly affected files, I searched for all files including <linux/pci.h> but without any other occurence of "pci" or "PCI". I removed the include statement from all of these, then I compiled an allmodconfig kernel on both i386 and x86_64 and fixed the false positives manually. My tests covered 66% of the affected files, so there could be false positives remaining.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Len Brown considers that an active by default fan control interface in laptops may be too close to giving users enough rope. There is a good chance he is quite correct on this, especially if someone decides to use that interface in applets and users are not aware of its risks. This patch adds a master switch to thinkpad-acpi that enables or disables the entire fan-control feature as a module parameter: "fan_control". It defaults to disabled. Set it to non-zero to enable fan control. Also, the patch removes the expermiental status from fan control, since it is stable enough to not be called experimental, and the master switch makes it safe enough to do so.
