50ebec09f1 ACPI: thinkpad-acpi: add poll() support to some sysfs attributes
Implement poll()/select() support through sysfs_notify() for some key
attributes which userspace might want to poll() or select() on.

In order to let userspace know poll()/select() support is available for an
attribute, the thinkpad-acpi sysfs interface version is also bumped up.
Further changes that add poll()/select() capabilities to any pre-existing
attributes will also increment the sysfs interface version.

a713b4d7bc ACPI: thinkpad-acpi: wakeup on hotunplug reporting
Handle some HKEY events that the firmware uses to report the reason for a
wake up, and to also notify that the system could go back to sleep (if it
woke up just to eject something from the bay, or to undock).

The driver will report the reason of the last wake up in the sysfs
attribute "wakeup_reason": 0 for "none, unknown, or standard ACPI wake up
event", 1 for "bay ejection request" and 2 for "undock request".

The firmware will also report if the operation that triggered the wake up
has been completed, by issuing an HKEY 0x3003 or 0x4003 event.  If the
operation fails, no event is sent.  When such a hotunplug sucessfull
notification is issued, the driver sets the attribute
"wakeup_hotunplug_complete" to 1.

While the firmware does tell us whether we are waking from a suspend or
hibernation scenario, the Linux way of hibernating makes this information
not reliable, and therefore it is not reported.

The idea is that if any of these attributes are non-zero, userspace might
want to do something at the end of the "wake up from sleep" procedures,
such as offering to send the machine back into sleep as soon as it is safe
to do so.

01e88f2598 ACPI: thinkpad-acpi: add CMOS NVRAM polling for hot keys (v9)
Older ThinkPad models do not export some of the hot keys over the
event-based ACPI hot key interface.  For these models, one has to poll
the CMOS NVRAM to check the key state at a rate faster than the expected
rate at which the user might repeatedly press the same hot key.

This patch implements this functionality for many of the hotkeys in a
transparent way: hot keys will now Just Work, and the driver knows the
best approach (events or NVRAM polling) to employ, based on the
HKEY.MHKA ACPI method.

Also, the driver can turn off the polling when there are no users for
the hot keys that need such polling.

The NVRAM-based hot keys of the A3x series that have never been
implemented by later models are not supported, to avoid changes in the
keymap of the input devices that could cause headaches in the future.

There is a Kconfig option to avoid compiling the NVRAM polling code, as
it is not very small, and unlikely to be useful on any ThinkPad newer
than a T40, X31 or R52.

This feature is based on a previous effort by Richard Hughes.

e11e211a0b ACPI: thinkpad-acpi: prefer standard ACPI backlight level control
Newer Lenovo BIOSes support the standard ACPI backlight brightness
interface (_BCM, _BQC, _BCL).  It should be used instead of the native
thinkpad backlight brightness control interface when possible.

This patch disables the native brightness support in the driver by default
when we detect that the standard ACPI interface is available.  The local
admin can still enable it using the module parameter "brightness_enable".

Note that we need to detect the standard ACPI backlight interface only in
boxes for which we would load the native backlight interface in the first
place, and that no ThinkPad BIOS has _BCL but misses the other methods, so
the detection routines can be really simple.

a3f104c02a ACPI: thinkpad-acpi: support 16 levels of brightness (v3)
Lenovo ThinkPads often have 16 brightness levels in EC, and not just eight
levels like older ThinkPads.  They also have standard ACPI backlight
brightness control.

We detect the number of brightness levels by the presence of a BCLL package
with 16 entries.  If BCLL is not there, we assume eight levels (Z6*).  If
it is there, but it doesn't have 16 entries, we assume eight levels (T60).
Otherwise we assume sixteen levels (T61, X61, etc).

We don't use _BCL because it can have side-effects in thinkpads.  Thanks to
Thomas Renninger <trenn@suse.de> for notifying me of this potential
problem.

Using the standard ACPI backlight brightness control *instead* of the
native thinkpad backlight control is a better idea, though.  A different
patch will take care of this.

Use a separate platform device and driver ("thinkpad_hwmon") to attach
hwmon attributes and class, and add a name attribute of "thinkpad" to

This makes thinkpad-acpi compatible with libsensors4 from lm-sensors, and
the platform driver and device split will make it much easier to separate
hwmon functionality into its own module later on.

ff80f1370f ACPI: thinkpad-acpi: revert new 2.6.23 CONFIG_THINKPAD_ACPI_INPUT_ENABLED option
Revert new 2.6.23 CONFIG_THINKPAD_ACPI_INPUT_ENABLED Kconfig option because
it would create a legacy we don't want to support.

CONFIG_THINKPAD_ACPI_INPUT_ENABLED was added to try to fix an issue that is
now moot with the addition of the netlink ACPI event report interface to
the ACPI core.

Now that ACPI core can send events over netlink, we can use a different
strategy to keep backwards compatibility with older userspace, without the
need for the CONFIG_THINKPAD_ACPI_INPUT_ENABLED games.  And it arrived
before CONFIG_THINKPAD_ACPI_INPUT_ENABLED made it to a stable mainline
kernel, even, which is Good.

This patch is in sync with some changes to thinkpad-acpi backports, that
will keep things sane for userspace across different combinations of kernel
versions, thinkpad-acpi backports (or the lack thereof), and userspace
capabilities:

Unless a module parameter is used, thinkpad-acpi will now behave in such a
way that it will work well (by default) with userspace that still uses only
the old ACPI procfs event interface and doesn't care for thinkpad-acpi
input devices.

It will also always work well with userspace that has been updated to use
both the thinkpad-acpi input devices, and ACPI core netlink event
interface, regardless of any module parameter.

The module parameter was added to allow thinkpad-acpi to work with
userspace that has been partially updated to use thinkpad-acpi input
devices, but not the new ACPI core netlink event interface.  To use this
mode of hot key reporting, one has to specify the hotkey_report_mode=2
module parameter.

The thinkpad-acpi driver exports the value of hotkey_report_mode through
sysfs, as well.  thinkpad-acpi backports to older kernels, that do not
support the new ACPI core netlink interface, have code to allow userspace
to switch hotkey_report_mode at runtime through sysfs.  This capability
will not be provided in mainline thinkpad-acpi as it is not needed there.

24d3b77467 ACPI: thinkpad-acpi: allow use of CMOS NVRAM for brightness control
It appears that Lenovo decided to break the EC brightness control interface
in a weird way in their latest BIOSes.  Fortunately, the old CMOS NVRAM
interface works just fine in such BIOSes.

Add a module parameter that allows the user to select which strategy to use
for brightness control: EC, NVRAM, or both.  By default, do both (which is
the way thinkpad-acpi used to work until now) on IBM ThinkPads, and use
NVRAM only on Lenovo ThinkPads.

Add input device support to the hotkey subdriver.

Hot keys that have a valid keycode mapping are reported through the input
layer if the input device is open.  Otherwise, they will be reported as

Scan codes are reported (using EV_MSC MSC_SCAN events) along with EV_KEY
KEY_UNKNOWN events.

For backwards compatibility purposes, hot keys that used to be reported
through ACPI events are not mapped to anything meaningful by default.
Userspace is supposed to remap them if it wants to use the input device for
hot key reporting.

Revise ACPI HKEY functionality to better interface with the firmware, and

polling power vampires on most modern ThinkPads ;-)

And, just to add insult to injury, this was sort of working since forever
through the procfs interface, but nobody noticed or tried an echo
0xffffffff > /proc/acpi/ibm/hotkey and told me it would generate weird
events. ARGH!

Thanks to Richard Hughes for kicking off the work that ended up with this
discovery, and to Matthew Garret for calling my attention to the fact that
newer ThinkPads were indeed generating ACPI GPEs when such hot keys were

cc4c24e115 ACPI: thinkpad-acpi: do not use named sysfs groups
The initial version of the thinkpad-acpi sysfs interface (not yet released
in any stable mainline kernel) made liberal use of named sysfs groups, in
order to get the attributes more organized.

This proved to be a really bad design decision.  Maybe if attribute groups
were as flexible as a real directory, and if binary attributes were not
second-class citizens, the idea of subdirs and named groups would not have
been so bad.

This patch makes all the thinkpad-acpi sysfs groups anonymous (thus
removing the subdirs), adds the former group names as a prefix (so that
hotkey/enable becomes hotkey_enable for example), and updates the
documentation.

These changes will make the thinkpad-acpi sysfs ABI a lot easier to
maintain.

ecf2a80a97 ACPI: thinkpad-acpi: add a fan-control feature master toggle
Len Brown considers that an active by default fan control interface in
laptops may be too close to giving users enough rope.  There is a good
chance he is quite correct on this, especially if someone decides to use
that interface in applets and users are not aware of its risks.

This patch adds a master switch to thinkpad-acpi that enables or disables
the entire fan-control feature as a module parameter: "fan_control".  It
defaults to disabled.  Set it to non-zero to enable fan control.

Also, the patch removes the expermiental status from fan control, since it
is stable enough to not be called experimental, and the master switch makes
it safe enough to do so.

fe98a52ce7 ACPI: thinkpad-acpi: add sysfs support to fan subdriver
Export sysfs attributes to monitor and control the internal thinkpad fan
(some thinkpads have more than one fan, but thinkpad-acpi doesn't support
the second fan yet).  The sysfs interface follows the hwmon design guide
for fan devices.

Also, fix some stray "thermal" files in the fan procfs description that
have been there forever, and officially support "full-speed" as the name
for the PWM-disabled state of the fan controller to keep it in line with
the hwmon interface.  It is much better a name for that mode than the
unobvious "disengaged" anyway.  Change the procfs interface to also accept
full-speed as a fan level, but still report it as disengaged for backwards
compatibility.

2c37aa4e22 ACPI: thinkpad-acpi: add sysfs support to the thermal subdriver
Export thinkpad thermal sensors to sysfs, following the hwmon
specification for thermal monitoring sensors.

ThinkPad thermal monitoring is done by the EC.  Sensors can show up or
disappear at runtime when they are inside hotswappable hardware, such as
batteries.  Sensors that are not available return -ENXIO when accessed.

Up to 16 thermal sensors are supported on new firmware (but nobody has
reported a ThinkPad with more than 12 sensors so far), and 8 sensors are
supported on older firmware.  Thermal sensor mapping is model-specific.
Precision varies, it is 1 degree Celcius on new ThinkPads, but higher on
some older models.

0dcef77c5b ACPI: thinkpad-acpi: improve thinkpad detection
Improve the detection of ThinkPads, so as to reduce the chances of false
positives.

Since this could potentially add false negatives on the very old models,
add a module parameter to force the detection of a thinkpad.

f21f85de4b ACPI: ibm-acpi: rename driver to thinkpad-acpi
Rename the ibm-acpi driver to thinkpad-acpi.  ThinkPads are not even made
by IBM anymore, so it is high time to rename the driver...

The name thinkpad-acpi was used sometime ago by a thinkpad-specific hotkey
driver by Erik Rigtorp, around the 2.6.8-2.6.10 time frame.  The driver
apparently never got merged into mainline (it did make some trips through
-mm).  ibm-acpi was merged soon after, making its debut in 2.6.10.

The reuse of the thinkpad-acpi name shouldn't be a problem as far as user
confusion goes, as Erik's thinkpad-acpi apparently didn't get widespread
use in the Linux ThinkPad community and most hits for thinkpad-acpi in
google point to ibm-acpi anyway.

Erik, if you read this, please consider the reuse of the thinkpad-acpi name
as a compliment to your effort to make ThinkPads more useful to all of us.
