2009-12-15ACPICA: Remove messages if predefined repair(s) are successfulBob Moore
Repair mechanism was considered too wordy. Now, messages are only unconditionally emitted if the return object cannot be repaired. Existing messages for successful repairs were converted to ACPI_DEBUG_PRINT messages for now. ACPICA BZ 827. http://www.acpica.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=827 Signed-off-by: Bob Moore <robert.moore@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Lin Ming <ming.m.lin@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Len Brown <len.brown@intel.com>
2009-12-15ACPICA: Move Package-to-Buffer repair code into common ToBuffer functionBob Moore

2009-12-15ACPICA: Fix mutex errors when running _REG methodsBob Moore
Fixes a problem where mutex errors can occur when running a _REG method that is in the same scope as a method-defined operation region or an operation region under a module-level IF block. This is rare, so the problem has not been seen before.

2009-12-15ACPICA: Add more conversions to predefined name repair moduleBob Moore
This change enhances the automatic repairs/conversions for predefined name return values to make Integers, Strings, and Buffers fully interchangeable. Also, a Buffer can be converted to a Package of Integers if necessary. The nsrepair.c module was completely restructured.

2009-12-15ACPICA: Update internal namespace node/handle interfacesBob Moore
This change deletes the unnecessary acpi_ns_convert_entry_to_handle interface and renames the acpi_ns_map_handle_to_node interface to acpi_ns_validate_handle.

2009-12-15ACPICA: Add repair for bad _FDE/_GTM buffersBob Moore
The expected return value for both names is a Buffer of 5 DWORDS.

2009-11-24ACPICA: Change package length error message to an info messageBob Moore
This message happens when the package element list is longer than the declared length of the package. Changed to an info message because this condition is not actually an error. It is caused by the BIOS attempting to truncate the package on the fly by adjusting the package element count at the start of the package definition.

2009-11-19Fix handling of the HP/Acer 'DMAR at zero' BIOS error for machines with ↵David Woodhouse
<4GiB RAM. Commit 86cf898e1d0fca245173980e3897580db38569a8 ("intel-iommu: Check for 'DMAR at zero' BIOS error earlier.") was supposed to work by pretending not to detect an IOMMU if it was actually being reported by the BIOS at physical address zero. However, the intel_iommu_init() function is called unconditionally, as are the corresponding functions for other IOMMU hardware. So the patch only worked if you have RAM above the 4GiB boundary. It caused swiotlb to be initialised when no IOMMU was detected during early boot, and thus the later IOMMU init would refuse to run. But if you have less RAM than that, swiotlb wouldn't get set up and the IOMMU _would_ still end up being initialised, even though we never claimed to detect it. This patch also sets the dmar_disabled flag when the error is detected during the initial detection phase -- so that the later call to intel_iommu_init() will return without doing anything, regardless of whether swiotlb is used or not.

2009-11-18strcmp: fix overflow and possibly signedness errorLinus Torvalds
Doing the strcmp return value as signed char __res = *cs - *ct; is wrong for two reasons. The subtraction can overflow because __res doesn't use a type big enough. Moreover the compared bytes should be interpreted as unsigned char as specified by POSIX. The same problem is fixed in strncmp.

2009-11-17[CPUFREQ] Fix stale cpufreq_cpu_governor pointerPrarit Bhargava
Dave, Attached is an update of my patch against the cpufreq fixes branch. Before applying the patch I compiled and booted the tree to see if the panic was still there -- to my surprise it was not. This is because of the conversion of cpufreq_cpu_governor to a char[]. While the panic is kaput, the problem of stale data continues and my patch is still valid. It is possible to end up with the wrong governor after hotplug events because CPUFREQ_DEFAULT_GOVERNOR is statically linked to a default, while the cpu siblings may have had a different governor assigned by a user. ie) the patch is still needed in order to keep the governors assigned properly when hotplugging devices Signed-off-by: Prarit Bhargava <prarit@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Dave Jones <davej@redhat.com>
