From 56c213fa012f2bad9eff908292ff2500f840b020 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Zhang Rui Date: Mon, 11 May 2009 09:35:57 +0800 Subject: ACPI processor: introduce module parameter processor.ignore_tpc Introduce module parameter processor.ignore_tpc. Some laptops are shipped with buggy _TPC, this module parameter is used to to disable the buggy support. http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13259 Signed-off-by: Zhang Rui Tested-by: James Ettle Signed-off-by: Len Brown --- drivers/acpi/processor_throttling.c | 17 +++++++++++++++++ 1 file changed, 17 insertions(+) (limited to 'drivers/acpi/processor_throttling.c') diff --git a/drivers/acpi/processor_throttling.c b/drivers/acpi/processor_throttling.c index d0d1f4d50434..5f09fb8c0e05 100644 --- a/drivers/acpi/processor_throttling.c +++ b/drivers/acpi/processor_throttling.c @@ -45,6 +45,14 @@ #define _COMPONENT ACPI_PROCESSOR_COMPONENT ACPI_MODULE_NAME("processor_throttling"); +/* ignore_tpc: + * 0 -> acpi processor driver doesn't ignore _TPC values + * 1 -> acpi processor driver ignores _TPC values + */ +static int ignore_tpc; +module_param(ignore_tpc, int, 0644); +MODULE_PARM_DESC(ignore_tpc, "Disable broken BIOS _TPC throttling support"); + struct throttling_tstate { unsigned int cpu; /* cpu nr */ int target_state; /* target T-state */ @@ -283,6 +291,10 @@ static int acpi_processor_get_platform_limit(struct acpi_processor *pr) if (!pr) return -EINVAL; + + if (ignore_tpc) + goto end; + status = acpi_evaluate_integer(pr->handle, "_TPC", NULL, &tpc); if (ACPI_FAILURE(status)) { if (status != AE_NOT_FOUND) { @@ -290,6 +302,8 @@ static int acpi_processor_get_platform_limit(struct acpi_processor *pr) } return -ENODEV; } + +end: pr->throttling_platform_limit = (int)tpc; return 0; } @@ -302,6 +316,9 @@ int acpi_processor_tstate_has_changed(struct acpi_processor *pr) struct acpi_processor_limit *limit; int target_state; + if (ignore_tpc) + return 0; + result = acpi_processor_get_platform_limit(pr); if (result) { /* Throttling Limit is unsupported */ -- cgit v1.2.2 From 4973b22aa8c70fe036e3e0039f104cf5bb7fe2b1 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Zhang Rui Date: Mon, 11 May 2009 09:36:01 +0800 Subject: ACPI processor: reset the throttling state once it's invalid If the BIOS hands us an invalid throttling state, write a valid state. http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13259 Signed-off-by: Zhang Rui Tested-by: James Ettle Signed-off-by: Len Brown --- drivers/acpi/processor_throttling.c | 8 ++++++++ 1 file changed, 8 insertions(+) (limited to 'drivers/acpi/processor_throttling.c') diff --git a/drivers/acpi/processor_throttling.c b/drivers/acpi/processor_throttling.c index 5f09fb8c0e05..7f16f5f8e7d3 100644 --- a/drivers/acpi/processor_throttling.c +++ b/drivers/acpi/processor_throttling.c @@ -838,6 +838,14 @@ static int acpi_processor_get_throttling_ptc(struct acpi_processor *pr) ret = acpi_read_throttling_status(pr, &value); if (ret >= 0) { state = acpi_get_throttling_state(pr, value); + if (state == -1) { + ACPI_WARNING((AE_INFO, + "Invalid throttling state, reset\n")); + state = 0; + ret = acpi_processor_set_throttling(pr, state); + if (ret) + return ret; + } pr->throttling.state = state; } -- cgit v1.2.2
