ACPICA: Remove unused ACPI_FREE_BUFFER macro. No functional change.

2014-01-08T14:31:36Z

This macro is no longer used by ACPICA and it is not public. Also update comments related to the use of ACPI_ALLOCATE_BUFFER and the use of acpi_os_free (kfree is equivalent and prefered in the kernel) to free the buffer.

ACPICA: Update acpidump related header file changes.

2013-10-31T13:37:35Z

This patch updates header files used by acpidump to reduce the source code differences between Linux and ACPICA upstream. This patch does not affect the generation of the Linux kernel binary. Signed-off-by: Lv Zheng Signed-off-by: Rafael J. Wysocki

ACPICA: Add new statistics interface.

2013-10-31T13:37:33Z

This patch ports new counters and statistics interface, already implemented in ACPICA upstream, to Linux. That helps to reduce source code differences between Linux and ACPICA upstream. [rjw: Changelog] Signed-off-by: Lv Zheng Signed-off-by: Rafael J. Wysocki

ACPICA: Deploy ACPI_EXPORT_SYMBOL_INIT for main ACPICA initialization interfaces.

2013-10-31T13:35:39Z

This changes can reduce source code differences between Linux and ACPICA upstream to help improving the release automation. The side effect of applying this patch in Linux is: 1. Some ACPICA initialization/termination APIs are no longer exported in Linux, these include: acpi_load_tables acpi_initialize_subsystem acpi_enable_subsystem acpi_initialize_objects acpi_terminate 2. This patch does not affect the following APIs as they are currently not marked with ACPI_EXPORT_SYMBOL in Linux: acpi_reallocate_root_table acpi_initialize_tables Such functions should not be exported as they are internal to ACPI subsystem in Linux, and will only be invoked inside of ACPI subsystem's initialization routines marked with __init and termination routines marked with __exit. While on other OSPMs, such functions may still need to be exported. Thus this patch adds the configurability for ACPICA, so that it leaves OSPMs to determine if the __init/__exit marked functions should be exported or not. Lv Zheng.

ACPICA: Clarify ACPI_FREE_BUFFER usage.

2013-10-31T13:35:33Z

Add a comment to clarify reason for using ACPI_FREE_BUFFER directly instead of ACPI_FREE. In addition to that, change one instance in which ACPI_FREE_BUFFER() should be used instead of ACPI_FREE().

ACPICA: Hardcode access width for the reset register.

2013-10-30T11:24:22Z

The ACPI spec requires the reset register width to be 8, so we now hardcode it and ignore the FADT value. This provides/maintains compatibility with other ACPI implementations that have allowed BIOS code with bad register width values to go unnoticed. Matthew Garett, Bob Moore, Lv Zheng.

ACPICA: Cleanup memory allocation macros and configurability.

2013-10-30T11:24:21Z

In the common case, the ACPI_ALLOCATE and related macros now resolve directly to their respective acpi_os* OSL interfaces. Two options: 1) The ACPI_ALLOCATE_ZEROED macro defaults to a simple local implementation by default, unless overridden by the USE_NATIVE_ALLOCATE_ZEROED define. 2) For ACPI execution simulation environment (AcpiExec) which is not shipped with the Linux kernel, the macros can optionally be resolved to the local interfaces that track each allocation (used to immediately detect memory leaks).

ACPICA: SCI Handlers: Update handler interface, eliminate unnecessary argument.

2013-09-23T23:46:25Z

The SCI interrupt number is not needed for the SCI handlers, and was just unnecessary overhead. Signed-off-by: Bob Moore Signed-off-by: Lv Zheng Reviewed-by: Len Brown Signed-off-by: Rafael J. Wysocki

ACPICA: Tables: Cleanup RSDP signature codes.

2013-09-23T23:46:24Z

This patch introduces new macors to handle RSDP signature and cleans up the affected codes. Lv Zheng. Some updates are only used for ACPICA utilities which are not shipped in the kernel yet. Signed-off-by: Lv Zheng Signed-off-by: Bob Moore Reviewed-by: Len Brown Signed-off-by: Rafael J. Wysocki

ACPICA: Add support for host-installed SCI handlers.

2013-09-23T23:46:24Z

This change adds support to allow hosts to install System Control Interrupt handlers. Certain ACPI functionality requires the host to handle raw SCIs. For example, the "SCI Doorbell" that is defined for memory power state support requires the host device driver to handle SCIs to examine if the doorbell has been activated. Multiple SCI handlers can be installed to allow for future expansion. Debugger support is included. Lv Zheng, Bob Moore. ACPICA BZ 1032. Bug summary: It is reported when the PCC (Platform Communication Channel, via MPST table, defined in ACPI specification 5.0) subchannel responds to the host, it issues an SCI and the host must probe the subchannel for channel status.
