53eac700b0 ACPI / PM: Drop acpi_power_nocheck
Since acpi_bus_set_power() should not use __acpi_bus_get_power() to
update the device's device->power.state field before changing its
power state (this may cause device->power.state to be inconsistent
with the device power resources' reference counters), remove this
call from it.  In consequence, the acpi_power_nocheck variable is not
necessary any more, so it can be dropped along with the DMI table
used for setting that variable for HP Pavilion 05.

f6767dcf2a ACPI / PM: Drop acpi_bus_get_power()
There are no more users of acpi_bus_get_power(), so it can be
dropped.  Moreover, it should be dropped, because it modifies
the device->power.state field of an ACPI device without updating
the reference counters of the device's power resources, which is
wrong.

Use the new function acpi_bus_update_power() for manipulating power
resources used by ACPI fan devices, which allows them to be put into
the right state during initialization and resume.  Consequently,
remove the flags.force_power_state field from struct acpi_device,

bf325f9538 ACPI / PM: Register power resource devices as soon as they are needed
Depending on the organization of the ACPI namespace, power resource
device objects may generally be scanned after the "regular" device
objects that they are referred from through _PRn.  This, in turn, may
cause acpi_bus_get_power_flags() to attempt to access them through
acpi_bus_init_power() before they are registered (and initialized by
acpi_power_driver).  [This is not a theoretical issue, it actually
happens for one PnP device on my testbed HP nx6325.]

To fix this problem, make acpi_bus_get_power_flags() attempt to
register power resource devices as soon as they have been found in
the _PRn output for any other devices.

97d9a9e9f5 ACPI / PM: Register acpi_power_driver early
The ACPI device driver used for handling power resources,
acpi_power_driver, creates a struct acpi_power_resource object for
each ACPI device representing a power resource.  These objects are
then used when setting and reading the power states of devices using
the corresponding power resources.  Unfortunately, acpi_power_driver
is registered after acpi_scan_init() that may add devices using the
power resources before acpi_power_driver has a chance to create
struct acpi_power_resource objects for them (specifically, the power
resources may be referred to during the scanning process through
acpi_bus_get_power() before they have been initialized).

As the first step towards fixing this issue, move the registration
of acpi_power_driver into acpi_scan_init() so that power resource
devices can be initialized by it as soon as they have been found in
the namespace.

81e88fdc43 ACPI, APEI, Generic Hardware Error Source POLL/IRQ/NMI notification type support
Generic Hardware Error Source provides a way to report platform
hardware errors (such as that from chipset). It works in so called
"Firmware First" mode, that is, hardware errors are reported to
firmware firstly, then reported to Linux by firmware. This way, some
non-standard hardware error registers or non-standard hardware link
can be checked by firmware to produce more valuable hardware error
information for Linux.

This patch adds POLL/IRQ/NMI notification types support.

Because the memory area used to transfer hardware error information
from BIOS to Linux can be determined only in NMI, IRQ or timer
handler, but general ioremap can not be used in atomic context, so a
special version of atomic ioremap is implemented for that.

Known issue:

- Error information can not be printed for recoverable errors notified
  via NMI, because printk is not NMI-safe. Will fix this via delay
  printing to IRQ context via irq_work or make printk NMI-safe.

v2:

- adjust printk format per comments.

6d855fcdd2 ACPI: delete CONFIG_ACPI_PROCFS_POWER and power procfs I/F in 2.6.39
sysfs I/F for ACPI power devices, including AC and Battery,
has been working in upstream kenrel since 2.6.24, Sep 2007.
In 2.6.37, we made the sysfs I/F always built in and this option
disabled by default.
Now, we plan to remove this option and the ACPI power procfs
interface in 2.6.39.

First, update the feature-removal-schedule to announce this change.
Second, add runtime warnings in ACPI AC/Battery/SBS driver, so that
users will notice this change even if "make oldconfig" is used.

4464ed3b05 ACPI: update CONFIG_ACPI_PROCFS description
Update CONFIG_ACPI_PROCFS description because the processor,
video and thermal zone procfs I/F have been removed.

Some ACPI drivers, e.g. button, have their procfs I/F always built in,
because we don't have sysfs I/F replacement at the moment.
But once we finish developing the sysfs I/F for these driver,
we need CONFIG_ACPI_PROCFS to enabled/disable the corresponding procfs I/F.

So just updating the description rather than removing this option,
although there is no procfs I/F depends on it for now.

But unfortunately it doesn't check whether the migration is successful or not.
In such case we will get/set the incorrect T-state on the offline CPU as

f2b56bc808 ACPI / PM: Use device wakeup flags for handling ACPI wakeup devices
There are ACPI devices (buttons and the laptop lid) that can wake up
the system from sleep states and have no "physical" companion
devices.  The ACPI subsystem uses two flags, wakeup.state.enabled and
wakeup.flags.always_enabled, for handling those devices, but they
are not accessible through the standard device wakeup infrastructure.
User space can only control them via the /proc/acpi/wakeup interface
that is not really convenient (e.g. the way in which devices are
enabled to wake up the system is not portable between different
systems, because it requires one to know the devices' "names" used in
the system's ACPI tables).

To address this problem, use standard device wakeup flags instead of
the special ACPI flags for handling those devices.  In particular,
use device_set_wakeup_capable() to mark the ACPI wakeup devices
during initialization and use device_set_wakeup_enable() to allow
or disallow them to wake up the system from sleep states.  Rework
the /proc/acpi/wakeup interface to take these changes into account.

b014f4f1aa ACPI / PM: Do not enable multiple devices to wake up simultaneously
If a device is enabled to wake up the system from sleep states via
/proc/acpi/wakeup and there are other devices associated with the
same wakeup GPE, all of these devices are automatically enabled to
wake up the system.  This isn't correct, because the fact the GPE is
shared need not imply that wakeup power has to be enabled for all the
devices at the same time (i.e. it is possible that one device will
have its wakeup power enabled and it will wake up the system from a
sleep state if the shared wakeup GPE is enabled, while another device
having its wakeup power disabled will not wake up the system even
though the GPE is enabled).  Rework acpi_system_write_wakeup_device()

9cd031441a ACPI / ACPICA: Fix global lock acquisition
There are two problems with the ACPICA's current implementation of
the global lock acquisition.  First, acpi_ev_global_lock_handler(),
which in fact is an interface to the outside of the kernel, doesn't
validate its input, so it only works correctly if the other side
(i.e. the ACPI firmware) is fully specification-compliant (as far
as the global lock is concerned).  Unfortunately, that's known not
to be the case on some systems (i.e. we get spurious global lock
signaling interrupts without the pending flag set on some systems).
Second, acpi_ev_global_lock_handler() attempts to acquire the global
lock on behalf of a thread waiting for it without checking if there
actually is such a thread.  Both of these shortcomings need to be
addressed to prevent all possible race conditions from happening.

Rework acpi_ev_global_lock_handler() so that it doesn't try to
acquire the global lock and make it signal the availability of the
global lock to the waiting thread instead.  Make sure that the
availability of the global lock can only be signaled when there
is a thread waiting for it and that it can't be signaled more than
once in a row (to keep acpi_gbl_global_lock_semaphore in balance).

6d5bbf00d2 ACPI: Use ioremap_cache()
Although the temporary boot-time ACPI table mappings
were set up with CPU caching enabled, the permanent table
mappings and AML run-time region memory accesses were
set up with ioremap(), which on x86 is a synonym for
ioremap_nocache().

Changing this to ioremap_cache() improves performance as
seen when accessing the tables via acpidump,
or /sys/firmware/acpi/tables.  It should also improve
AML run-time performance.
