Pull ACPI and power management updates from Rafael Wysocki:
 "As far as the number of commits goes, the top spot belongs to ACPI
  this time with cpufreq in the second position and a handful of PM
  core, PNP and cpuidle updates.  They are fixes and cleanups mostly, as
  usual, with a couple of new features in the mix.

  The most visible change is probably that we will create struct
  acpi_device objects (visible in sysfs) for all devices represented in
  the ACPI tables regardless of their status and there will be a new
  sysfs attribute under those objects allowing user space to check that
  status via _STA.

  Consequently, ACPI device eject or generally hot-removal will not
  delete those objects, unless the table containing the corresponding
  namespace nodes is unloaded, which is extremely rare.  Also ACPI
  container hotplug will be handled quite a bit differently and cpufreq
  will support CPU boost ("turbo") generically and not only in the
  acpi-cpufreq driver.

  Specifics:

   - ACPI core changes to make it create a struct acpi_device object for
     every device represented in the ACPI tables during all namespace
     scans regardless of the current status of that device.  In
     accordance with this, ACPI hotplug operations will not delete those
     objects, unless the underlying ACPI tables go away.

   - On top of the above, new sysfs attribute for ACPI device objects
     allowing user space to check device status by triggering the
     execution of _STA for its ACPI object.  From Srinivas Pandruvada.

   - ACPI core hotplug changes reducing code duplication, integrating
     the PCI root hotplug with the core and reworking container hotplug.

   - ACPI core simplifications making it use ACPI_COMPANION() in the
     code "glueing" ACPI device objects to "physical" devices.

   - ACPICA update to upstream version 20131218.  This adds support for
     the DBG2 and PCCT tables to ACPICA, fixes some bugs and improves
     debug facilities.  From Bob Moore, Lv Zheng and Betty Dall.

   - Init code change to carry out the early ACPI initialization
     earlier.  That should allow us to use ACPI during the timekeeping
     initialization and possibly to simplify the EFI initialization too.
     From Chun-Yi Lee.

   - Clenups of the inclusions of ACPI headers in many places all over
     from Lv Zheng and Rashika Kheria (work in progress).

   - New helper for ACPI _DSM execution and rework of the code in
     drivers that uses _DSM to execute it via the new helper.  From
     Jiang Liu.

   - New Win8 OSI blacklist entries from Takashi Iwai.

   - Assorted ACPI fixes and cleanups from Al Stone, Emil Goode, Hanjun
     Guo, Lan Tianyu, Masanari Iida, Oliver Neukum, Prarit Bhargava,
     Rashika Kheria, Tang Chen, Zhang Rui.

   - intel_pstate driver updates, including proper Baytrail support,
     from Dirk Brandewie and intel_pstate documentation from Ramkumar
     Ramachandra.

   - Generic CPU boost ("turbo") support for cpufreq from Lukasz
     Majewski.

   - powernow-k6 cpufreq driver fixes from Mikulas Patocka.

   - cpufreq core fixes and cleanups from Viresh Kumar, Jane Li, Mark
     Brown.

   - Assorted cpufreq drivers fixes and cleanups from Anson Huang, John
     Tobias, Paul Bolle, Paul Walmsley, Sachin Kamat, Shawn Guo, Viresh
     Kumar.

   - cpuidle cleanups from Bartlomiej Zolnierkiewicz.

   - Support for hibernation APM events from Bin Shi.

   - Hibernation fix to avoid bringing up nonboot CPUs with ACPI EC
     disabled during thaw transitions from Bjørn Mork.

   - PM core fixes and cleanups from Ben Dooks, Leonardo Potenza, Ulf
     Hansson.

   - PNP subsystem fixes and cleanups from Dmitry Torokhov, Levente
     Kurusa, Rashika Kheria.

   - New tool for profiling system suspend from Todd E Brandt and a
     cpupower tool cleanup from One Thousand Gnomes"

Pull GPIO tree bulk changes from Linus Walleij:
 "A big set this merge window, as we have much going on in this
  subsystem.  The changes to other subsystems (notably a slew of ARM
  machines as I am doing away with their custom APIs) have all been
  ACKed to the extent possible.

  Major changes this time:

   - Some core improvements and cleanups to the new GPIO descriptor API.
     This seems to be working now so we can start the exodus to this
     API, moving gradually away from the global GPIO numberspace.

   - Incremental improvements to the ACPI GPIO core, and move the few
     GPIO ACPI clients we have to the GPIO descriptor API right *now*
     before we go any further.  We actually managed to contain this
     *before* we started to litter the kernel with yet another hackish
     global numberspace for the ACPI GPIOs, which is a big win.

   - The RFkill GPIO driver and all platforms using it have been
     migrated to use the GPIO descriptors rather than fixed number
     assignments.  Tegra machine has been migrated as part of this.

   - New drivers for MOXA ART, Xtensa GPIO32 and SMSC SCH311x.  Those
     should be really good examples of how I expect a nice GPIO driver
     to look these days.

   - Do away with custom GPIO implementations on a major part of the ARM
     machines: ks8695, lpc32xx, mv78xx0.  Make a first step towards the
     same in the horribly convoluted Samsung S3C include forest.  We
     expect to continue to clean this up as we move forward.

   - Flag GPIO lines used for IRQ on adnp, bcm-kona, em, intel-mid and
     lynxpoint.

     This makes the GPIOlib core aware that a certain GPIO line is used
     for IRQs and can then enforce some semantics such as disallowing a
     GPIO line marked as in use for IRQ to be switched to output mode.

   - Drop all use of irq_set_chip_and_handler_name().  The name provided
     in these cases were just unhelpful tags like "mux" or "demux".

   - Extend the MCP23s08 driver to handle interrupts.

   - Minor incremental improvements for rcar, lynxpoint, em 74x164 and
     msm drivers.

   - Some non-urgent bug fixes here and there, duplicate #includes and
     that usual kind of cleanups"

Fix up broken Kconfig file manually to make this all compile.

When I added support for ACPI5 I made the assumption that
injected processor errors would just need to know the APICID,
memory errors just the address and mask, and PCIe errors just the
segment/bus/device/function. So I had the code check the type of injection
and multiplex the "param1" value appropriately.

This was not a good assumption :-(

There are injection scenarios where we need to specify more than one of
these items. E.g. injecting a cache error we need to specify an APICID
of the cpu that owns the cache, and also an address (so that we can trip
the error by accessing the address).

Add a "flags" file to give the user direct access to specify which items
are valid in the ACPI SET_ERROR_TYPE_WITH_ADDRESS structure. Also add
new files param3 and param4 to hold all these values.

For backwards compatability with old injection scripts we maintain the
old behaviour if flags remains set at zero (or is reset to 0).

<title>ACPI / scan: Add acpi_device objects for all device nodes in the namespace</title>
<updated>2013-11-22T20:54:37+00:00</updated>
<author>

<published>2013-11-22T20:54:37+00:00</published>
<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.toradex.cn/cgit/linux-toradex.git/commit/?id=202317a573b20d77a9abb7c16a3fd5b40cef3d9d'/>
<id>202317a573b20d77a9abb7c16a3fd5b40cef3d9d</id>
<content type='text'>
Modify the ACPI namespace scanning code to register a struct
acpi_device object for every namespace node representing a device,
processor and so on, even if the device represented by that namespace
node is reported to be not present and not functional by _STA.

There are multiple reasons to do that.  First of all, it avoids
quite a lot of overhead when struct acpi_device objects are
deleted every time acpi_bus_trim() is run and then added again
by a subsequent acpi_bus_scan() for the same scope, although the
namespace objects they correspond to stay in memory all the time
(which always is the case on a vast majority of systems).

Second, it will allow user space to see that there are namespace
nodes representing devices that are not present at the moment and may
be added to the system.  It will also allow user space to evaluate
_SUN for those nodes to check what physical slots the "missing"
devices may be put into and it will make sense to add a sysfs
attribute for _STA evaluation after this change (that will be
useful for thermal management on some systems).

Next, it will help to consolidate the ACPI hotplug handling among
subsystems by making it possible to store hotplug-related information
in struct acpi_device objects in a standard common way.

Finally, it will help to avoid a race condition related to the
deletion of ACPI namespace nodes.  Namely, namespace nodes may be
deleted as a result of a table unload triggered by _EJ0 or _DCK.
If a hotplug notification for one of those nodes is triggered
right before the deletion and it executes a hotplug callback
via acpi_hotplug_execute(), the ACPI handle passed to that
callback may be stale when the callback actually runs.  One way
to work around that is to always pass struct acpi_device pointers
to hotplug callbacks after doing a get_device() on the objects in
question which eliminates the use-after-free possibility (the ACPI
handles in those objects are invalidated by acpi_scan_drop_device(),
so they will trigger ACPICA errors on attempts to use them).

Modify the ACPI namespace scanning code to register a struct
acpi_device object for every namespace node representing a device,
processor and so on, even if the device represented by that namespace
node is reported to be not present and not functional by _STA.

There are multiple reasons to do that.  First of all, it avoids
quite a lot of overhead when struct acpi_device objects are
deleted every time acpi_bus_trim() is run and then added again
by a subsequent acpi_bus_scan() for the same scope, although the
namespace objects they correspond to stay in memory all the time
(which always is the case on a vast majority of systems).

Second, it will allow user space to see that there are namespace
nodes representing devices that are not present at the moment and may
be added to the system.  It will also allow user space to evaluate
_SUN for those nodes to check what physical slots the "missing"
devices may be put into and it will make sense to add a sysfs
attribute for _STA evaluation after this change (that will be
useful for thermal management on some systems).

Next, it will help to consolidate the ACPI hotplug handling among
subsystems by making it possible to store hotplug-related information
in struct acpi_device objects in a standard common way.

Finally, it will help to avoid a race condition related to the
deletion of ACPI namespace nodes.  Namely, namespace nodes may be
deleted as a result of a table unload triggered by _EJ0 or _DCK.
If a hotplug notification for one of those nodes is triggered
right before the deletion and it executes a hotplug callback
via acpi_hotplug_execute(), the ACPI handle passed to that
callback may be stale when the callback actually runs.  One way
to work around that is to always pass struct acpi_device pointers
to hotplug callbacks after doing a get_device() on the objects in
question which eliminates the use-after-free possibility (the ACPI
handles in those objects are invalidated by acpi_scan_drop_device(),
so they will trigger ACPICA errors on attempts to use them).

In addition to the existing ACPI specific GPIO interface, document the new
descriptor based GPIO interface in Documentation/acpi/enumeration.txt, so
it is clear that this new interface is preferred over the ACPI specific
version.

This follows what has already been done for the DeviceTree helpers. Move
the ACPI helpers from drivers/acpi/acpi_i2c.c to the I2C core and update
documentation accordingly.

This also solves a problem reported by Jerry Snitselaar that we can't build
the ACPI I2C helpers as a module.

I2C of helpers used to live in of_i2c.c but experience (from SPI) shows
that it is much cleaner to have this in the core. This also removes a
circular dependency between the helpers and the core, and so we can
finally register child nodes in the core instead of doing this manually
in each driver. So, fix the drivers and documentation, too.
