ACPI / sysfs: Provide quirk mechanism to prevent GPE flooding

2016-12-26T22:16:39+00:00

Sometimes, the users may require a quirk to be provided from ACPI subsystem
core to prevent a GPE from flooding.
Normally, if a GPE cannot be dispatched, ACPICA core automatically prevents
the GPE from firing. But there are cases the GPE is dispatched by _Lxx/_Exx
provided via AML table, and OSPM is lacking of the knowledge to get
_Lxx/_Exx correctly executed to handle the GPE, thus the GPE flooding may
still occur.

The existing quirk mechanism can be enabled/disabled using the following
commands to prevent such kind of GPE flooding during runtime:
 # echo mask > /sys/firmware/acpi/interrupts/gpe00
 # echo unmask > /sys/firmware/acpi/interrupts/gpe00
To avoid GPE flooding during boot, we need a boot stage mechanism.

This patch provides such a boot stage quirk mechanism to stop this kind of
GPE flooding. This patch doesn't fix any feature gap but since the new
feature gaps could be found in the future endlessly, and can disappear if
the feature gaps are filled, providing a boot parameter rather than a DMI
table should suffice.

ACPI / watchdog: Add support for WDAT hardware watchdog

2016-09-24T00:10:04+00:00

Starting from Intel Skylake the iTCO watchdog timer registers were moved to
reside in the same register space with SMBus host controller.  Not all
needed registers are available though and we need to unhide P2SB (Primary
to Sideband) device briefly to be able to read status of required NO_REBOOT
bit. The i2c-i801.c SMBus driver used to handle this and creation of the
iTCO watchdog platform device.

Windows, on the other hand, does not use the iTCO watchdog hardware
directly even if it is available. Instead it relies on ACPI Watchdog Action
Table (WDAT) table to describe the watchdog hardware to the OS. This table
contains necessary information about the the hardware and also set of
actions which are executed by a driver as needed.

This patch implements a new watchdog driver that takes advantage of the
ACPI WDAT table. We split the functionality into two parts: first part
enumerates the WDAT table and if found, populates resources and creates
platform device for the actual driver. The second part is the driver
itself.

The reason for the split is that this way we can make the driver itself to
be a module and loaded automatically if the WDAT table is found. Otherwise
the module is not loaded.

ACPI / EC: Fix a gap that ECDT EC cannot handle EC events

2016-09-10T00:33:50+00:00

It is possible to register _Qxx from namespace and use the ECDT EC to
perform event handling. The reported bug reveals that Windows is using ECDT
in this way in case the namespace EC is not present. This patch facilitates
Linux to support ECDT in this way.

ACPI / EC: Add PM operations to improve event handling for resume process

2016-08-30T22:32:10+00:00

This patch makes 2 changes:

1. Restore old behavior
Originally, EC driver stops handling both events and transactions in
acpi_ec_block_transactions(), and restarts to handle transactions in
acpi_ec_unblock_transactions_early(), restarts to handle both events and
transactions in acpi_ec_unblock_transactions().
While currently, EC driver still stops handling both events and
transactions in acpi_ec_block_transactions(), but restarts to handle both
events and transactions in acpi_ec_unblock_transactions_early().
This patch tries to restore the old behavior by dropping
__acpi_ec_enable_event() from acpi_unblock_transactions_early().

2. Improve old behavior
However this still cannot fix the real issue as both of the
acpi_ec_unblock_xxx() functions are invoked in the noirq stage. Since the
EC driver actually doesn't implement the event handling in the polling
mode, re-enabling the event handling too early in the noirq stage could
result in the problem that if there is no triggering source causing
advance_transaction() to be invoked, pending SCI_EVT cannot be detected by
the EC driver and _Qxx cannot be triggered.
It actually makes sense to restart the event handling in any point during
resuming after the noirq stage. Just like the boot stage where the event
handling is enabled in .add(), this patch further moves
acpi_ec_enable_event() to .resume(). After doing that, the following 2
functions can be combined:
acpi_ec_unblock_transactions_early()/acpi_ec_unblock_transactions().

The differences of the event handling availability between the old behavior
(this patch isn't applied) and the new behavior (this patch is applied) are
as follows:
                        !Applied        Applied
before suspend          Y               Y
suspend before EC       Y               Y
suspend after EC        Y               Y
suspend_late            Y               Y
suspend_noirq           Y (actually N)  Y (actually N)
resume_noirq            Y (actually N)  Y (actually N)
resume_late             Y (actually N)  Y (actually N)
resume before EC        Y (actually N)  Y (actually N)
resume after EC         Y (actually N)  Y
after resume            Y (actually N)  Y
Where "actually N" means if there is no triggering source, the EC driver
is actually not able to notice the pending SCI_EVT occurred in the noirq
stage. So we can clearly see that this patch has improved the situation.

ACPI / bus: Make acpi_get_first_physical_node() public

2016-08-30T22:25:54+00:00

Following the fwnode of a device is currently a one-way road: We provide
ACPI_COMPANION() to obtain the fwnode but there's no (public) method to
do the reverse. Granted, there may be multiple physical_nodes, but often
the first one in the list is sufficient.

A handy function to obtain it was introduced with commit 3b95bd160547
("ACPI: introduce a function to find the first physical device"), but
currently it's only available internally.

We're about to add an EFI Device Path parser which needs this function.
Consider the following device path: ACPI(PNP0A03,0)/PCI(28,2)/PCI(0,0)
The PCI root is encoded as an ACPI device in the path, so the parser
has to find the corresponding ACPI device, then find its physical node,
find the PCI bridge in slot 1c (decimal 28), function 2 below it and
finally find the PCI device in slot 0, function 0.

To this end, make acpi_get_first_physical_node() public.

ACPI / EC: Add PM operations for suspend/resume noirq stage

2016-08-17T00:37:02+00:00

It is reported that on some platforms, resume speed is not fast. The cause
is: in noirq stage, EC driver is working in polling mode, and each state
machine advancement requires a context switch.

The context switch is not necessary to the EC driver's polling mode. This
patch implements PM hooks to automatically switch the driver to/from the
busy polling mode to eliminate the overhead caused by the context switch.

This finally contributes to the tuning result: acpi_pm_finish() execution
time is improved from 192ms to 6ms.

ACPI: add support for ACPI reconfiguration notifiers

2016-07-08T19:52:35+00:00

Add support for ACPI reconfiguration notifiers to allow subsystems
to react to changes in the ACPI tables that happen after the initial
enumeration. This is similar with the way dynamic device tree
notifications work.

The reconfigure notifications supported for now are device add and
device remove.

Since ACPICA allows only one table notification handler, this patch
makes the table notifier function generic and moves it out of the
sysfs specific code.
