      ACPI: processor: finish unifying arch_acpi_processor_init_pdc() · 6c5807d7
      Alex Chiang authored 
      The only thing arch-specific about calling _PDC is what bits get
set in the input obj_list buffer.

There's no need for several levels of indirection to twiddle those
bits. Additionally, since we're just messing around with a buffer,
we can simplify the interface; no need to pass around the entire
struct acpi_processor * just to get at the buffer.

      ACPI: processor: factor out common _PDC settings · 08ea48a3
      Alex Chiang authored 
      Both x86 and ia64 initialize _PDC with mostly common bit settings.

Factor out the common settings and leave the arch-specific ones alone.

      ACPI: processor: unify arch_acpi_processor_init_pdc · 407cd87c
      Alex Chiang authored 
      The x86 and ia64 implementations of arch_acpi_processor_init_pdc()
are almost exactly the same. The only difference is in what bits
they set in obj_list buffer.

Combine the boilerplate memory management code, and leave the
arch-specific bit twiddling in separate implementations.

      ACPI: processor: introduce arch_has_acpi_pdc · 1d9cb470
      Alex Chiang authored 
      arch dependent helper function that tells us if we should attempt to
evaluate _PDC on this machine or not.

The x86 implementation assumes that the CPUs in the machine must be
homogeneous, and that you cannot mix CPUs of different vendors.

      ACPI: processor: call _PDC early · 78f16996
      Alex Chiang authored 
      We discovered that at least one machine (HP Envy), methods in the DSDT
attempt to call external methods defined in a dynamically loaded SSDT.

Unfortunately, the DSDT methods we are trying to call are part of the
EC initialization, which happens very early, and the the dynamic SSDT
is only loaded when a processor _PDC method runs much later.

This results in namespace lookup errors for the (as of yet) undefined
methods.

Since Windows doesn't have any issues with this machine, we take it
as a hint that they must be evaluating _PDC much earlier than we are.

Thus, the proper thing for Linux to do should be to match the Windows
implementation more closely.

Provide a mechanism to call _PDC before we enable the EC. Doing so loads
the dynamic tables, and allows the EC to be enabled correctly.

The ACPI processor driver will still evaluate _PDC in its .add() method
to cover the hotplug case.
