CPUIDLE: handle BM detection inside the ACPI Processor driver
Update the ACPI processor driver to detect BM activity and
limit state entry depth internally, rather than exposing such
requirements to CPUIDLE. As a result, CPUIDLE can drop this
ACPI-specific interface and become more platform independent. BM
activity is now handled much more aggressively than it was in the
original implementation, so some testing coverage may be needed to
verify that this doesn't introduce any DMA buffer under-run issues.

cpuidle: re-write
Some portions have been rewritten to make the code cleaner and lighter
weight. The following is a list of changes:
1.) the state name is now included in the sysfs interface
2.) detection, hotplug, and available state modifications are handled by
CPUIDLE drivers directly
3.) the CPUIDLE idle handler is only ever installed when at least one
cpuidle_device is enabled and ready
4.) the menu governor BM code no longer overflows
5.) the sysfs attributes are now printed as unsigned integers, avoiding
negative values
6.) a variety of other small cleanups
Also, Idle drivers are no longer swappable during runtime through the
CPUIDLE sysfs inteface. On i386 and x86_64 most idle handlers (e.g.
poll, mwait, halt, etc.) don't benefit from an infrastructure that
supports multiple states, so I think using a more general case idle
handler selection mechanism would be cleaner.

cpuidle: add the 'menu' governor
Here is my first take at implementing an idle PM governor that takes
full advantage of NO_HZ. I call it the 'menu' governor because it
considers the full list of idle states before each entry.
I've kept the implementation fairly simple. It attempts to guess the
next residency time and then chooses a state that would meet at least
the break-even point between power savings and entry cost. To this end,
it selects the deepest idle state that satisfies the following
constraints:
1. If the idle time elapsed since bus master activity was detected
is below a threshold (currently 20 ms), then limit the selection
to C2-type or above.
2. Do not choose a state with a break-even residency that exceeds
the expected time remaining until the next timer interrupt.
3. Do not choose a state with a break-even residency that exceeds
the elapsed time between the last pair of break events,
excluding timer interrupts.
This governor has an advantage over "ladder" governor because it
proactively checks how much time remains until the next timer interrupt
using the tick infrastructure. Also, it handles device interrupt
activity more intelligently by not including timer interrupts in break
event calculations. Finally, it doesn't make policy decisions using the
number of state entries, which can have variable residency times (NO_HZ
makes these potentially very large), and instead only considers sleep
time deltas.
The menu governor can be selected during runtime using the cpuidle sysfs
interface like so:
"echo "menu" > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuidle/current_governor"

Also modify the main idle loop to allow dynticks to handle

of the code in this patch. However, I've made some additional changes,

Prevent hang on x86-64, when ACPI processor driver is added as a module on

x86-64 expects all idle handlers to enable interrupts before returning from

cpuidle_idle_call() confirm to this when there is no pm_idle_old.
Also, cpuidle look at the return values of attch_driver() and set

cpuidle take2: Core cpuidle infrastructure
Announcing 'cpuidle', a new CPU power management infrastructure to manage
idle CPUs in a clean and efficient manner.
cpuidle separates out the drivers that can provide support for multiple types
of idle states and policy governors that decide on what idle state to use
at run time.
A cpuidle driver can support multiple idle states based on parameters like
varying power consumption, wakeup latency, etc (ACPI C-states for example).
A cpuidle governor can be usage model specific (laptop, server,
laptop on battery etc).
Main advantage of the infrastructure being, it allows independent development
of drivers and governors and allows for better CPU power management.
A huge thanks to Adam Belay and Shaohua Li who were part of this mini-project
since its beginning and are greatly responsible for this patchset.
This patch:
Core cpuidle infrastructure.
Introduces a new abstraction layer for cpuidle:
* which manages drivers that can support multiple idles states. Drivers
can be generic or particular to specific hardware/platform
* allows pluging in multiple policy governors that can take idle state policy
decision
* The core also has a set of sysfs interfaces with which administrato can know
about supported drivers and governors and switch them at run time.

Three main sets of changes:
1) dmi_get_system_info() return value should have been marked const,
since callers should not be changing that data.
2) const-ify DMI internals, since DMI firmware tables should,
whenever possible, be marked const to ensure we never ever write to
that data area.
3) const-ify DMI API, to enable marking tables const where possible
in low-level drivers.
And if we're really lucky, this might enable some additional
optimizations on the part of the compiler.
The bulk of the changes are #2 and #3, which are interrelated. #1 could
have been a separate patch, but it was so small compared to the others,
it was easier to roll it into this changeset.

In Linux-2.6.22 we expanded the boot parameter osi=
so that it can enable and !enable an OSI string.
_OSI(Linux) is a special case because we know that there
are both systems that require it set, and systems
require that it _not_ to be set. In the long term it can't
be set, for the same reason _OS(Linux) can't be enabled --
it tends to confuse BIOS that are not properly
validated with Linux. Further, the semantics and version
information of _OSI(Linux) were never actually defined.
The kernel prints out a message if it sees _OSI(Linux)
requested, and there is a DMI workaround to invoke
"osi=Linux" automatically for existing systems that need it.

_OSI("Linux") is like _OS("Linux"), it is ill-defined and
virtually no BIOS vendors test interaction with it.
As a result, it can do more damage than good because
it causes the BIOS to follow un-tested paths.
Recently, several machines have turned up that erroneously
test this string in a way which causes them to _not_ test other
compatibility strings, including the ZI9 and Toshiba.
So it appears that this bad code has made it into
a BIOS vendor's reference BIOS.
Linux has no choice but to stop advertising compatibility
with _OSI string "Linux" - as there are an unbounded
number of possible incompatibilities going forward.
But some BIOSes have already shipped which do use it
for things like conditionally re-enabling video on resume
from S3. (Too bad they didn't do that unconditionally)
Add special case code for _OSI(Linux)
Squawk to dmesg if _OSI(Linux) is requested
Add DMI list both to enable and disable _OSI(Linux)
But for now, keep the default enabled via
#define OSI_LINUX_ENABLED.

The boot option "acpi_osi=" has always disabled Linux _OSI support,
thus disabling all OS Interface strings which are advertised
by Linux to the BIOS.
Now...
acpi_osi="string" adds the interface string, and
acpi_osi="!string" invalidates the pre-defined interface string
eg. acpi_osi="!Windows 2006"
would disable Linux's claim of Vista compatibility.

HP nx6125/nx6325/... machines have a _GPE handler with an infinite
loop sending Notify() events to different ACPI subsystems.
Notify handler in ACPI driver is a C-routine, which may call ACPI
interpreter again to get access to some ACPI variables
(acpi_evaluate_xxx).
On these HP machines such an evaluation changes state of some variable
and lets the loop above break.
In the current ACPI implementation Notify requests are being deferred
to the same kacpid workqueue on which the above GPE handler with
infinite loop is executing. Thus we have a deadlock -- loop will
continue to spin, sending notify events, and at the same time
preventing these notify events from being run on a workqueue. All
notify events are deferred, thus we see increase in memory consumption
noticed by author of the thread. Also as GPE handling is bloked,
machines overheat. Eventually by external poll of the same
acpi_evaluate, kacpid is released and all the queued notify events are
free to run, thus 100% cpu utilization by kacpid for several seconds
or more.
To prevent all these horrors it's needed to not put notify events to
kacpid workqueue by either executing them immediately or putting them
on some other thread. It's dangerous to execute notify events in
place, as it will put several ACPI interpreter stacks on top of each
other (at least 4 in case of nx6125), thus causing kernel stack
overflow.
First attempt to create a new thread was done by Peter Wainwright
He created a bunch of threads, which were stealing work from a kacpid
workqueue.
This patch appeared in 2.6.15 kernel shipped with Ubuntu 6.06 LTS.
Second attempt was done by me, I created a new thread for each Notify
event. This worked OK on HP nx machines, but broke Linus' Compaq
n620c, by producing threads with a speed what they stopped the machine
completely. Thus this patch was reverted from 18-rc2 as I remember.
I re-made the patch to create second workqueue just for notify events,
thus hopping it will not break Linus' machine. Patch was tested on the
same HP nx machines in #5534 and #7122, but I did not received reply
from Linus on a test patch sent to him.
Patch went to 19-rc and was rejected with much fanfare again.
There was 4th patch, which inserted schedule_timeout(1) into deferred
execution of kacpid, if we had any notify requests pending, but Linus
decided that it was too complex (involved either changes to workqueue
to see if it's empty or atomic inc/dec).
Now you see last variant which adds yield() to every GPE execution.

Resources described by the FADT aren't really a good fit for the

The motherboard driver cares about PNP0C01 and PNP0C02 devices and

The FADT describes some resources used by the ACPI core. Often, they
are also described by by the _CRS of a motherboard device, but I think
it's better to reserve them specifically in the ACPI osl.c because
(a) the motherboard driver is optional and ACPI uses the resources even
if the driver is absent, and (b) I want to remove the ACPI motherboard
driver because it's mostly redundant with the PNP system.c driver.

Pass the work_struct pointer to the work function rather than context data.
The work function can use container_of() to work out the data.
For the cases where the container of the work_struct may go away the moment the
pending bit is cleared, it is made possible to defer the release of the
structure by deferring the clearing of the pending bit.
To make this work, an extra flag is introduced into the management side of the
work_struct. This governs auto-release of the structure upon execution.
Ordinarily, the work queue executor would release the work_struct for further
scheduling or deallocation by clearing the pending bit prior to jumping to the
work function. This means that, unless the driver makes some guarantee itself
that the work_struct won't go away, the work function may not access anything
else in the work_struct or its container lest they be deallocated.. This is a
problem if the auxiliary data is taken away (as done by the last patch).
However, if the pending bit is *not* cleared before jumping to the work
function, then the work function *may* access the work_struct and its container
with no problems. But then the work function must itself release the
work_struct by calling work_release().
In most cases, automatic release is fine, so this is the default. Special
initiators exist for the non-auto-release case (ending in _NAR).

This reverts commit 37605a6900.
Again.
This same bug has now been introduced twice: it was done earlier by
commit b8d35192c5, only to be reverted
last time in commit 72945b2b90.
We must NOT try to queue up notify handlers to another thread than the
normal ACPI execution thread, because the notifications on some systems
seem to just keep on accumulating until we run out of memory and/or
threads.
Keeping events within the one deferred execution thread automatically
throttles the events properly.
At least the Compaq N620c will lock up completely on the first thermal
event without this patch reverted.

Maintain a per-CPU global "struct pt_regs *" variable which can be used instead
of passing regs around manually through all ~1800 interrupt handlers in the
Linux kernel.
The regs pointer is used in few places, but it potentially costs both stack
space and code to pass it around. On the FRV arch, removing the regs parameter
from all the genirq function results in a 20% speed up of the IRQ exit path
(ie: from leaving timer_interrupt() to leaving do_IRQ()).
Where appropriate, an arch may override the generic storage facility and do
something different with the variable. On FRV, for instance, the address is
maintained in GR28 at all times inside the kernel as part of general exception
handling.
Having looked over the code, it appears that the parameter may be handed down
through up to twenty or so layers of functions. Consider a USB character
device attached to a USB hub, attached to a USB controller that posts its
interrupts through a cascaded auxiliary interrupt controller. A character
device driver may want to pass regs to the sysrq handler through the input
layer which adds another few layers of parameter passing.
I've build this code with allyesconfig for x86_64 and i386. I've runtested the
main part of the code on FRV and i386, though I can't test most of the drivers.
I've also done partial conversion for powerpc and MIPS - these at least compile
with minimal configurations.
This will affect all archs. Mostly the changes should be relatively easy.
Take do_IRQ(), store the regs pointer at the beginning, saving the old one:
struct pt_regs *old_regs = set_irq_regs(regs);
And put the old one back at the end:
set_irq_regs(old_regs);
Don't pass regs through to generic_handle_irq() or __do_IRQ().
In timer_interrupt(), this sort of change will be necessary:
- update_process_times(user_mode(regs));
- profile_tick(CPU_PROFILING, regs);
+ update_process_times(user_mode(get_irq_regs()));
+ profile_tick(CPU_PROFILING);
I'd like to move update_process_times()'s use of get_irq_regs() into itself,
except that i386, alone of the archs, uses something other than user_mode().
Some notes on the interrupt handling in the drivers:
(*) input_dev() is now gone entirely. The regs pointer is no longer stored in
the input_dev struct.
(*) finish_unlinks() in drivers/usb/host/ohci-q.c needs checking. It does
something different depending on whether it's been supplied with a regs
pointer or not.
(*) Various IRQ handler function pointers have been moved to type
irq_handler_t.

Implemented a new acpi_spinlock type for the OSL lock
interfaces. This allows the type to be customized to
the host OS for improved efficiency (since a spinlock is
usually a very small object.)
Implemented support for "ignored" bits in the ACPI
registers. According to the ACPI specification, these
bits should be preserved when writing the registers via
a read/modify/write cycle. There are 3 bits preserved
in this manner: PM1_CONTROL[0] (SCI_EN), PM1_CONTROL[9],
and PM1_STATUS[11].
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3691
Implemented the initial deployment of new OSL mutex
interfaces. Since some host operating systems have
separate mutex and semaphore objects, this feature was
requested. The base code now uses mutexes (and the new
mutex interfaces) wherever a binary semaphore was used
previously. However, for the current release, the mutex
interfaces are defined as macros to map them to the
existing semaphore interfaces.
Fixed several problems with the support for the control
method SyncLevel parameter. The SyncLevel now works
according to the ACPI specification and in concert with the
Mutex SyncLevel parameter, since the current SyncLevel is
a property of the executing thread. Mutual exclusion for
control methods is now implemented with a mutex instead
of a semaphore.
Fixed three instances of the use of the C shift operator
in the bitfield support code (exfldio.c) to avoid the use
of a shift value larger than the target data width. The
behavior of C compilers is undefined in this case and can
cause unpredictable results, and therefore the case must
be detected and avoided. (Fiodor Suietov)
Added an info message whenever an SSDT or OEM table

This used to be an ACPI_DEBUG_PRINT, but it was mis-classified as
ACPI_DB_ERROR rather than ACPI_DB_MUTEX, so it got swept up in Thomas'

Removed a device initialization optimization introduced in
20051216 where the _STA method was not run unless an _INI
was also present for the same device. This optimization
could cause problems because it could allow _INI methods
to be run within a not-present device subtree (If a
not-present device had no _INI, _STA would not be run,
the not-present status would not be discovered, and the
children of the device would be incorrectly traversed.)
Implemented a new _STA optimization where namespace
subtrees that do not contain _INI are identified and
ignored during device initialization. Selectively running
_STA can significantly improve boot time on large machines
(with assistance from Len Brown.)
Implemented support for the device initialization case
where the returned _STA flags indicate a device not-present
but functioning. In this case, _INI is not run, but the
device children are examined for presence, as per the
ACPI specification.
Implemented an additional change to the IndexField support
in order to conform to MS behavior. The value written to
the Index Register is not simply a byte offset, it is a
byte offset in units of the access width of the parent
Index Field. (Fiodor Suietov)
Defined and deployed a new OSL interface,
acpi_os_validate_address(). This interface is called during

addresses are disallowed will cause a runtime exception
when they are actually accessed (will not affect or abort
table loading.)

acpi_os_validate_interface(). This interface allows the host OS

exception handling code paths within DsCallControlMethod
and DsTerminateControlMethod in dsmethod (with assistance
from Takayoshi Kochi.)
Modified the Linux source converter to ignore quoted string
literals while converting identifiers from mixed to lower
case. This will correct problems with the disassembler
and other areas where such strings must not be modified.
The ACPI_FUNCTION_* macros no longer require quotes around
the function name. This allows the Linux source converter
to convert the names, now that the converter ignores
quoted strings.
