The (1.0 inherited) separate length fields in the FADT are byte granular. Further, PM1a/b may have distinct lengths and live in distinct address spaces. acpi_tb_convert_fadt() should account for all of these conditions. Apart from these changes I'm puzzled by the fact that, not just for acpi_gbl_xpm1{a,b}_enable, acpi_hw_low_level_{read,write}() get an explicit size passed rather than using the size found in the passed GAS. What happens on a platform that defines PM1{a,b} wider than 16 bits? Of course, acpi_hw_low_level_{read,write}() at present are entirely un-prepared to deal with sizes other than 8, 16, or 32, not to speak of a non-zero bit_offset or access_width...

The HP CCSR descriptor describes MMIO address space that should appear as a MEM resource. This patch adds support for parsing these descriptors in the _CRS data. The visible effect of this is that these MEM resources will appear in /sys/devices/pnp0/.../resources, which means that "lspnp -v" will report it, user applications can use this to locate device CSR space, and kernel drivers can use the normal PNP resource accessors to locate them.

ISAPNP, PNPBIOS, and ACPI describe the "possible resource settings" of a device, i.e., the possibilities an OS bus driver has when it assigns I/O port, MMIO, and other resources to the device. PNP used to maintain this "possible resource setting" information in one independent option structure and a list of dependent option structures for each device. Each of these option structures had lists of I/O, memory, IRQ, and DMA resources, for example: dev independent options ind-io0 -> ind-io1 ... ind-mem0 -> ind-mem1 ... ... dependent option set 0 dep0-io0 -> dep0-io1 ... dep0-mem0 -> dep0-mem1 ... ... dependent option set 1 dep1-io0 -> dep1-io1 ... dep1-mem0 -> dep1-mem1 ... ... ... This data structure was designed for ISAPNP, where the OS configures device resource settings by writing directly to configuration registers. The OS can write the registers in arbitrary order much like it writes PCI BARs. However, for PNPBIOS and ACPI devices, the OS uses firmware interfaces that perform device configuration, and it is important to pass the desired settings to those interfaces in the correct order. The OS learns the correct order by using firmware interfaces that return the "current resource settings" and "possible resource settings," but the option structures above doesn't store the ordering information. This patch replaces the independent and dependent lists with a single list of options. For example, a device might have possible resource settings like this: dev options ind-io0 -> dep0-io0 -> dep1->io0 -> ind-io1 ... All the possible settings are in the same list, in the order they come from the firmware "possible resource settings" list. Each entry is tagged with an independent/dependent flag. Dependent entries also have a "set number" and an optional priority value. All dependent entries must be assigned from the same set. For example, the OS can use all the entries from dependent set 0, or all the entries from dependent set 1, but it cannot mix entries from set 0 with entries from set 1. Prior to this patch PNP didn't keep track of the order of this list, and it assigned all independent options first, then all dependent ones. Using the example above, that resulted in a "desired configuration" list like this: ind->io0 -> ind->io1 -> depN-io0 ... instead of the list the firmware expects, which looks like this: ind->io0 -> depN-io0 -> ind-io1 ...

The ISAPNP spec recommends that independent options precede dependent ones, but this is not actually required. The current ISAPNP code incorrectly puts such trailing independent options at the end of the last dependent option list. This patch fixes that bug by resetting the current option list to the independent list when we see an "End Dependent Functions" tag. PNPBIOS and PNPACPI handle this the same way.

When building resource options, ISAPNP and PNPBIOS set the priority to something like "0x100 | PNP_RES_PRIORITY_ACCEPTABLE", but we immediately mask off the 0x100 again in pnp_build_option(), so that bit looks superfluous.

This patch adds an IORESOURCE_IRQ_OPTIONAL flag for use when assigning resources to a device. If the flag is set and we are unable to assign an IRQ to the device, we can leave the IRQ disabled but allow the overall resource allocation to succeed. Some devices request an IRQ, but can run without an IRQ (possibly with degraded performance). This flag lets us run the device without the IRQ instead of just leaving the device disabled. This is a reimplementation of this previous change by Rene Herman <rene.herman@gmail.com>: http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commit;h=3b73a223661ed137c5d3d2635f954382e94f5a43 I reimplemented this for two reasons: - to prepare for converting all resource options into a single linked list, as opposed to the per-resource-type lists we have now, and - to preserve the order and number of resource options. In PNPBIOS and ACPI, we configure a device by giving firmware a list of resource assignments. It is important that this list has exactly the same number of resources, in the same order, as the "template" list we got from the firmware in the first place. The problem of a sound card MPU401 being left disabled for want of an IRQ was reported by Uwe Bugla <uwe.bugla@gmx.de>.

ACPI Extended Interrupt Descriptors can encode 32-bit interrupt numbers, so an interrupt number may exceed the size of the bitmap we use to track possible IRQ settings. To avoid corrupting memory, complain and ignore too-large interrupt numbers. There's similar code in pnpacpi_parse_irq_option(), but I didn't change that because the small IRQ descriptor can only encode IRQs 0-15, which do not exceed bitmap size. In the future, we could handle IRQ numbers greater than PNP_IRQ_NR by replacing the bitmap with a table or list.

This patch moves all the option allocations (pnp_mem, pnp_port, etc) into the pnp_register_{mem,port,irq,dma}_resource() functions. This will make it easier to rework the option data structures. The non-trivial part of this patch is the IRQ handling. The backends have to allocate a local pnp_irq_mask_t bitmap, populate it, and pass a pointer to pnp_register_irq_resource().

This patch doesn't change any behavior; it just makes the return values more conventional. This changes pnp_assign_dma() from a void function to one that returns an int, just like the other assignment functions. For now, at least, pnp_assign_dma() always returns 0 (success), so it appears to never fail, just like before.

As part of a heuristic to identify modem devices, 8250_pnp.c checks to see whether a device can be configured at any of the legacy COM port addresses. This patch moves the code that traverses the PNP "possible resource options" from 8250_pnp.c to the PNP subsystem.

Rather than stepping through all IO resources, then stepping through all MMIO resources, etc., we can just iterate over the resource list once directly. This can change the order in /sys, e.g., # cat /sys/devices/pnp0/00:07/resources # OLD state = active io 0x3f8-0x3ff irq 4 # cat /sys/devices/pnp0/00:07/resources # NEW state = active irq 4 io 0x3f8-0x3ff The old code artificially sorted resources by type; the new code just lists them in the order we read them from the ISAPNP hardware or the BIOS.

We used to have a fixed-size resource table. If a device had twenty resources when the table only had space for ten, we didn't need ten warnings, so we added the ratelimit. Now that we can dynamically allocate new resources, we should only get failures if the allocation fails. That should be rare enough that we don't need to ratelimit the messages.

When we parse a device's _CRS data (the current resource settings), we should keep track of everything we find, even if it's currently disabled or invalid. This is what we already do for ISAPNP and PNPBIOS, and it helps keep things matched up when we subsequently re-encode resources. For example, consider a device with (mem, irq0, irq1, io), where irq0 is disabled. If we drop irq0 when parsing the _CRS, we will mistakenly put irq1 in the irq0 slot when we encode resources for an _SRS call.

PNP used to have a fixed-size pnp_resource_table for tracking the resources used by a device. This table often overflowed, so we've had to increase the table size, which wastes memory because most devices have very few resources. This patch replaces the table with a linked list of resources where the entries are allocated on demand. This removes messages like these: pnpacpi: exceeded the max number of IO resources 00:01: too many I/O port resources References: http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9535 http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9740 http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/11/30/110 This patch also changes the way PNP uses the IORESOURCE_UNSET, IORESOURCE_AUTO, and IORESOURCE_DISABLED flags. Prior to this patch, the pnp_resource_table entries used the flags like this: IORESOURCE_UNSET This table entry is unused and available for use. When this flag is set, we shouldn't look at anything else in the resource structure. This flag is set when a resource table entry is initialized. IORESOURCE_AUTO This resource was assigned automatically by pnp_assign_{io,mem,etc}(). This flag is set when a resource table entry is initialized and cleared whenever we discover a resource setting by reading an ISAPNP config register, parsing a PNPBIOS resource data stream, parsing an ACPI _CRS list, or interpreting a sysfs "set" command. Resources marked IORESOURCE_AUTO are reinitialized and marked as IORESOURCE_UNSET by pnp_clean_resource_table() in these cases: - before we attempt to assign resources automatically, - if we fail to assign resources automatically, - after disabling a device IORESOURCE_DISABLED Set by pnp_assign_{io,mem,etc}() when automatic assignment fails. Also set by PNPBIOS and PNPACPI for: - invalid IRQs or GSI registration failures - invalid DMA channels - I/O ports above 0x10000 - mem ranges with negative length After this patch, there is no pnp_resource_table, and the resource list entries use the flags like this: IORESOURCE_UNSET This flag is no longer used in PNP. Instead of keeping IORESOURCE_UNSET entries in the resource list, we remove entries from the list and free them. IORESOURCE_AUTO No change in meaning: it still means the resource was assigned automatically by pnp_assign_{port,mem,etc}(), but these functions now set the bit explicitly. We still "clean" a device's resource list in the same places, but rather than reinitializing IORESOURCE_AUTO entries, we just remove them from the list. Note that IORESOURCE_AUTO entries are always at the end of the list, so removing them doesn't reorder other list entries. This is because non-IORESOURCE_AUTO entries are added by the ISAPNP, PNPBIOS, or PNPACPI "get resources" methods and by the sysfs "set" command. In each of these cases, we completely free the resource list first. IORESOURCE_DISABLED In addition to the cases where we used to set this flag, ISAPNP now adds an IORESOURCE_DISABLED resource when it reads a configuration register with a "disabled" value.

Some callers use pnp_port_start() and similar functions without making sure the resource is valid. This patch makes us fall back to returning the initial values if the resource is not valid or not even present. This mostly preserves the previous behavior, where we would just return the initial values set by pnp_init_resource_table(). The original 2.6.25 code didn't range-check the "bar", so it would return garbage if the bar exceeded the table size. This code returns sensible values instead.

We used pnp_resource.index to keep track of which ISAPNP configuration register a resource should be written to. We needed this only to handle the case where a register is disabled but a subsequent register in the same set is enabled. Rather than explicitly maintaining the pnp_resource.index, this patch adds a resource every time we read an ISAPNP configuration register and marks the resource as IORESOURCE_DISABLED when appropriate. This makes the position in the pnp_resource_table always correspond to the config register index.

"idle=nomwait" disables the use of the MWAIT instruction from both C1 (C1_FFH) and deeper (C2C3_FFH) C-states. When MWAIT is unavailable, the BIOS and OS generally negotiate to use the HALT instruction for C1, and use IO accesses for deeper C-states. This option is useful for power and performance comparisons, and also to work around BIOS bugs where broken MWAIT support is advertised. http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10807 http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10914Signed-off-by: Zhao Yakui <yakui.zhao@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Li Shaohua <shaohua.li@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Len Brown <len.brown@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen <ak@linux.intel.com>
