| | * | | ACPI: Change acpi_evaluate_integer to support 64-bit on 32-bit kernelsMatthew Wilcox2008-10-11
| | |/ / | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | As of version 2.0, ACPI can return 64-bit integers. The current acpi_evaluate_integer only supports 64-bit integers on 64-bit platforms. Change the argument to take a pointer to an acpi_integer so we support 64-bit integers on all platforms. lenb: replaced use of "acpi_integer" with "unsigned long long" lenb: fixed bug in acpi_thermal_trips_update() Signed-off-by: Matthew Wilcox <willy@linux.intel.com> Signed-off-by: Len Brown <len.brown@intel.com>

But it is too late after the following the commit is merged. >commit 7752d5cfe3d11ca0bb9c673ec38bd78ba6578f8e > Author: Robert Hancock <hancockr@shaw.ca> > Date: Fri Feb 15 01:27:20 2008 -0800 >x86: validate against acpi motherboard resources After the above commit is merged, OS will check whether MCFG area is reserved in ACPI motherboard resources by calling the function of acpi_get_devices when there exists MCFG table. In the acpi_get_devices the _STA object will be evaluated to check the status of the ACPI device. On some broken BIOS the MYEC object of EC device is initialized as one, which indicates that EC operation region is already accessible before enabling EC device.So on these broken BIOS the EC operation region will be accessed in course of evaluating the _STA object before enabling EC device, which causes that OS will print the following warning messages: >ACPI Error (evregion-0315): No handler for Region [EC__] (ffff88007f8145e8) [EmbeddedControl] [20080609] >ACPI Error (exfldio-0290): Region EmbeddedControl(3) has no handler [20080321] >ACPI Error (psparse-0530): Method parse/execution failed [\_SB_.PCI0.SBRG.

So it is necessary to enable EC device as early as possible.Maybe it is appropriate to enable it immediately after ACPI full initialization. http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11255 http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11374 http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11660 Signed-off-by: Zhao Yakui <yakui.zhao@intel.com> Acked-by: Alexey Starikovskiy <astarikovskiy@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Len Brown <len.brown@intel.com>

Before hotplug removes an acpi device, the device driver's notification handler is already be recorded to run just after global notification handler. After hotplug notification handler runs, acpica will notice a NULL notification handler and crash. So now we run run hotplug in another workqueue and wait for all acpi notication handlers finish. This was found in battery hotplug, but actually all hotplug can be affected.

For example: the bios returns D0 state and the real power state is D3. OS expects to set the device to D0 state. In such case if OS uses the power state returned by the BIOS and checks the device power state very strictly in power transition, the device can't be transited to the correct power state. So the boot option of "acpi.power_nocheck=1" is added to avoid checking the device power in the course of device power transition. http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8049 http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11000 Signed-off-by: Zhao Yakui <yakui.zhao@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Zhang Rui <rui.zhang@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Li Shaohua <shaohua.li@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen <ak@linux.intel.com> Signed-off-by: Len Brown <len.brown@intel.com>

It currently is doing that in userspace which results in: - Huge test scripts that could be a one liner in the kernel - A lot of BIOS bugs are already absorbed by the kernel What do we need such a stupid linuxfirmwarekit for? - Vendors: Can test their BIOSes for Linux compatibility. There will be the time when vendors realize that the test utils on Linux are more strict and using them increases the qualitity and stability of their products. - Vendors: Can easily fix up their BIOSes and be more Linux compatible by: dmesg |grep "Firmware Bug" and send the result to their BIOS developer colleagues who should know what the messages are about and how to fix them, without the need of studying kernel code. - Distributions: can do a first automated HW/BIOS checks. This can then be done without the need of asking kernel developers who need to dig down the code and explain the details. Certification can/will just be rejected until dmesg |grep "Firmware Bug" is empty. - Thus this can be used as an instrument to enforce cleaner BIOS code. Currently every stupid Windows ACPI bug is re-implemented in Linux which is a rather unfortunate situation. We already have the power to avoid this in e.g. memory or cpu hot-plug ACPI implementations, because Linux certification is a must for most vendors in the server area. Working towards being able to do that in the laptop area (vendors are starting to look at Linux here also and will use this tool) is the goal. At least provide them a tool to make it as easy for this guys (e.g. not needing to browse kernel code) as possible. - The ordinary Linux user: can go into the next shop, boots the firmwarekit on his most preferred machines. He chooses one without BIOS bugs. Unsupported HW is ok, he likes to try out latest projects which might support them or likes to dig on it on his own, but he hates to workaround broken BIOSes like hell. I double checked with the firmwarekit. There they have: So the mapping generally is (also depending on how likely the BIOS is to blame, this could sometimes be difficult): FW_INFO = INFO FW_WARN = WARN FW_BUG = FAIL For more info about the linuxfirmwarekit and why this is needed can be found here: http://www.linuxfirmwarekit.org While severity matches with the firmwarekit, it might be tricky to hide messages from the user. E.g. we recently found out that on HP BIOSes negative temperatures are returned, which seem to indicate that the thermal zone is invalid. We can work around that gracefully by ignoring the thermal zone and we do not want to bother the ordinary user with a frightening message: Firmware Bug: thermal management absolutely broken but want to hide it from the user. But in the linuxfirmwarekit this should be shown as a real show stopper (the temperatures could really be wrong, broken thermal management is one of the worst things that can happen and the BIOS guys of the machine must implement this properly). It is intended to do that (hide it from the user with KERN_INFO msg, but still print it as a BIOS bug) by: printk(KERN_INFO FW_BUG "Negativ temperature values detected. Try to workarounded, BIOS must get fixed\n"); Hope that works out..., no idea how to better hide it as printk is the only way to easily provide this functionality.

| * | | | PCI: update pci_create_slot() to take a 'hotplug' paramAlex Chiang2008-10-22

The names of the detected/claimed slots may be different depending on module load order. For legacy reasons, we need to allow hotplug drivers to override the slot name if a detection driver is loaded first (and they find the same slots). Creating and overriding slot names should be an atomic operation, otherwise you get a locking nightmare as various drivers race to call pci_create_slot(). pci_create_slot() is already serialized by grabbing the pci_bus_sem. We update the API and add a 'hotplug' param, which is: set if the caller is a hotplug driver NULL if the caller is a detection driver pci_create_slot() does not actually use the 'hotplug' parameter in this patch. A later patch will add the logic that uses it.

The patch implement Function Level Reset(FLR) feature following PCI-e spec. And this is the first step. We would add more generic method, like D0/D3, to allow more devices support this function. The patch contains two functions. pcie_reset_function() is the new driver API, and, contains some action to quiesce a device. The other function is a helper: pcie_execute_reset_function() just executes the reset for a particular device function. Current the usage model is in KVM. Function reset is necessary for assigning device to a guest, or moving it between partitions. For Function Level Reset(FLR), please refer to PCI Express spec chapter 6.6.2.
