Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI) support for
Linux requires an ACPI-compliant platform (hardware/firmware),
and assumes the presence of OS-directed configuration and power
management (OSPM) software. This option will enlarge your
kernel by about 70K.
Linux ACPI provides a robust functional replacement for several
legacy configuration and power management interfaces, including
the Plug-and-Play BIOS specification (PnP BIOS), the
MultiProcessor Specification (MPS), and the Advanced Power
Management (APM) specification. If both ACPI and APM support
are configured, ACPI is used.
The project home page for the Linux ACPI subsystem is here:
<http://www.lesswatts.org/projects/acpi/>
Linux support for ACPI is based on Intel Corporation's ACPI
Component Architecture (ACPI CA). For more information on the
ACPI CA, see:
<http://acpica.org/>
ACPI is an open industry specification co-developed by
Hewlett-Packard, Intel, Microsoft, Phoenix, and Toshiba.
The specification is available at:
<http://www.acpi.info>

bool "Deprecated /proc/acpi files"
depends on PROC_FS
help
For backwards compatibility, this option allows
deprecated /proc/acpi/ files to exist, even when
they have been replaced by functions in /sys.
This option has no effect on /proc/acpi/ files
and functions which do not yet exist in /sys.
Say N to delete /proc/acpi/ files that have moved to /sys/
config ACPI_PROCFS_POWER
bool "Deprecated power /proc/acpi directories"
depends on PROC_FS
help
For backwards compatibility, this option allows
deprecated power /proc/acpi/ directories to exist, even when
they have been replaced by functions in /sys.
The deprecated directories (and their replacements) include:
/proc/acpi/battery/* (/sys/class/power_supply/*)
/proc/acpi/ac_adapter/* (sys/class/power_supply/*)
This option has no effect on /proc/acpi/ directories
and functions, which do not yet exist in /sys
This option, together with the proc directories, will be
deleted in 2.6.39.

config ACPI_EC_DEBUGFS
tristate "EC read/write access through /sys/kernel/debug/ec"
default n
help
Say N to disable Embedded Controller /sys/kernel/debug interface
Be aware that using this interface can confuse your Embedded
Controller in a way that a normal reboot is not enough. You then
have to power off your system, and remove the laptop battery for
some seconds.
An Embedded Controller typically is available on laptops and reads
sensor values like battery state and temperature.
The kernel accesses the EC through ACPI parsed code provided by BIOS
tables. This option allows to access the EC directly without ACPI
code being involved.
Thus this option is a debug option that helps to write ACPI drivers
and can be used to identify ACPI code or EC firmware bugs.
config ACPI_PROC_EVENT
bool "Deprecated /proc/acpi/event support"
depends on PROC_FS
default y
help
A user-space daemon, acpid, typically reads /proc/acpi/event
and handles all ACPI-generated events.
These events are now delivered to user-space either
via the input layer or as netlink events.
This build option enables the old code for legacy
user-space implementation. After some time, this will
be moved under CONFIG_ACPI_PROCFS, and then deleted.
Say Y here to retain the old behaviour. Say N if your
user-space is newer than kernel 2.6.23 (September 2007).

ACPI: create Processor Aggregator Device driver ACPI 4.0 created the logical "processor aggregator device" as a mechinism for platforms to ask the OS to force otherwise busy processors to enter (power saving) idle. The intent is to lower power consumption to ride-out transient electrical and thermal emergencies, rather than powering off the server. On platforms that can save more power/performance via P-states, the platform will first exhaust P-states before forcing idle. However, the relative benefit of P-states vs. idle states is platform dependent, and thus this driver need not know or care about it. This driver does not use the kernel's CPU hot-plug mechanism because after the transient emergency is over, the system must be returned to its normal state, and hotplug would permanently break both cpusets and binding. So to force idle, the driver creates a power saving thread. The scheduler will migrate the thread to the preferred CPU. The thread has max priority and has SCHED_RR policy, so it can occupy one CPU. To save power, the thread will invoke the deep C-state entry instructions. To avoid starvation, the thread will sleep 5% of the time time for every second (current RT scheduler has threshold to avoid starvation, but if other CPUs are idle, the CPU can borrow CPU timer from other, which makes the mechanism not work here) Vaidyanathan Srinivasan has proposed scheduler enhancements to allow injecting idle time into the system. This driver doesn't depend on those enhancements, but could cut over to them when they are available. Peter Z. does not favor upstreaming this driver until the those scheduler enhancements are in place. However, we favor upstreaming this driver now because it is useful now, and can be enhanced over time.

help
Enter a 4-digit year, e.g., 2001, to disable ACPI by default
on platforms with DMI BIOS date before January 1st that year.
"acpi=force" can be used to override this mechanism.
Enter 0 to disable this mechanism and allow ACPI to
run by default no matter what the year. (default)
config ACPI_DEBUG
bool "Debug Statements"

help
The ACPI subsystem can produce debug output. Saying Y enables this
output and increases the kernel size by around 50K.
Use the acpi.debug_layer and acpi.debug_level kernel command-line
parameters documented in Documentation/acpi/debug.txt and
Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt to control the type and
amount of debug output.

help
This driver creates entries in /sys/bus/pci/slots/ for all PCI
slots in the system. This can help correlate PCI bus addresses,
i.e., segment/bus/device/function tuples, with physical slots in
the system. If you are unsure, say N.
To compile this driver as a module, choose M here:

help
The Power Management Timer is available on all ACPI-capable,
in most cases even if ACPI is unusable or blacklisted.
This timing source is not affected by power management features
like aggressive processor idling, throttling, frequency and/or
voltage scaling, unlike the commonly used Time Stamp Counter
(TSC) timing source.
You should nearly always say Y here because many modern
systems require this timer.

Documentation/acpi/method-customizing.txt.
NOTE: This option is security sensitive, because it allows arbitrary
kernel memory to be written to by root (uid=0) users, allowing them
to bypass certain security measures (e.g. if root is not allowed to
load additional kernel modules after boot, this feature may be used
to override that restriction).
