Zhang Rui e49bd2dd5a ACPI: use PNPID:instance_no as bus_id of ACPI device
Previously we used the device name in the DSDT, but would
crash upon encountering a duplicate. Also, exposing the
DSDT device name to the user in a patch isn't a good idea,
because it is arbitrary.

After some discussion, we finally decided to use
"PNPID:instance_no" as the bus_id of ACPI devices.

Two attributes for each device are added at the same time,
the full pathname in ACPI namespace and hardware_id if it has.

NOTE:	acpi_bus_id_list is used to keep the information of PNPID
	and instance number of the given PNPID. Loop the
	acpi_bus_id_list to find the instance_no of the	same PNPID
	when register a device. If failed, i.e. we don't have a
	node with this PNPID, allocate one and link it to this list.

NOTE:	Now I don't take the memory free work in charge.
	If necessary, I can add a reference count in
	struct acpi_device_bus_id, and check the reference and
	when unregister a device, i.e. memory is freed when
	the reference count of a given PNPID is 0.

Zhang Rui ae8433324b ACPI: Set fake hid for non-PNPID ACPI devices
We do this mainly because:
1.	hid is used to match ACPI devices and drivers.
	.match method which is incompatible to driver model
	can be deleted from acpi_driver.ops then.
2.	As the .uevent method mark ACPI drivers by PNPID,
	fake hid is set to non-PNPID devices so that udev script
	can load the right ACPI driver by looking for
	"HWID = " or "COMPTID = ".

Li Shaohua db3e1cc325 ACPI: Convert ACPI PCI .bind/.unbind to use PCI bridge driver
acpi_device had a .bind/.unbind methods, but Linux driver model does not.
Cut ACPI PCI code over to use the Linux driver model methods.

Convert bind/unbind to use a new pci bridge driver.
The driver will add/remove _PRT, so we can eventually
remove .bind/.unbind methods.

NOTE:	Two methods .add and .start in acpi_driver.ops are
	called separately to probe ACPI devices, while only
	.probe method is called in driver model.
	As executing .add and .start separately is critical

2.	Add ACPI device in device tree.

File "eject" for every device that has _EJ0 method is moved from

Operation on this file is exactly the same as before.
i.e. echo 1 to "eject" will cause hot removal of this device.
Corresponding changes should be made in userspace for hot removal.

David Howells 65f27f3844 WorkStruct: Pass the work_struct pointer instead of context data
Pass the work_struct pointer to the work function rather than context data.
The work function can use container_of() to work out the data.

For the cases where the container of the work_struct may go away the moment the
pending bit is cleared, it is made possible to defer the release of the
structure by deferring the clearing of the pending bit.

To make this work, an extra flag is introduced into the management side of the
work_struct.  This governs auto-release of the structure upon execution.

Ordinarily, the work queue executor would release the work_struct for further
scheduling or deallocation by clearing the pending bit prior to jumping to the
work function.  This means that, unless the driver makes some guarantee itself
that the work_struct won't go away, the work function may not access anything
else in the work_struct or its container lest they be deallocated..  This is a
problem if the auxiliary data is taken away (as done by the last patch).

However, if the pending bit is *not* cleared before jumping to the work
function, then the work function *may* access the work_struct and its container
with no problems.  But then the work function must itself release the
work_struct by calling work_release().

In most cases, automatic release is fine, so this is the default.  Special
initiators exist for the non-auto-release case (ending in _NAR).

Linus Torvalds b976fe19ac Revert "ACPI: created a dedicated workqueue for notify() execution"
This reverts commit 37605a6900.

Again.

This same bug has now been introduced twice: it was done earlier by
commit b8d35192c5, only to be reverted
last time in commit 72945b2b90.

We must NOT try to queue up notify handlers to another thread than the
normal ACPI execution thread, because the notifications on some systems
seem to just keep on accumulating until we run out of memory and/or
threads.

Keeping events within the one deferred execution thread automatically
throttles the events properly.

At least the Compaq N620c will lock up completely on the first thermal
event without this patch reverted.

Yasunori Goto 887b95931b [PATCH] acpi memory hotplug: remove strange add_memory fail message
I wrote a patch to avoid redundant memory hot-add call at boot time.  This
was cause of strange fail message of memory hotplug like "ACPI: add_memory
failed".  Memory is recognized by early boot code with EFI/E820.

But, if DSDT describes memory devices for them, then hot-add code is called
for already recognized memory, and it shows fail messages with -EEXIST.
So, sys admin will misunderstand this message as something wrong by it.

This patch avoids them by preventing redundant hot-add call until
completion of driver initialization.

Darrick J. Wong c5a114f1fb [PATCH] fix "ACPI: Processor native C-states using MWAIT"
This patch breaks C-state discovery on my IBM IntelliStation Z30 because
the return value of acpi_processor_get_power_info_fadt is not assigned to
"result" in the case that acpi_processor_get_power_info_cst returns
-ENODEV.  Thus, if ACPI provides C-state data via the FADT and not _CST (as
is the case on this machine), we incorrectly exit the function with -ENODEV
after reading the FADT.  The attached patch sets the value of result so
that we don't exit early.

Lennart Poettering d7a76e4cb3 ACPI: consolidate functions in acpi ec driver
Unify the following functions:

    acpi_ec_poll_read()
    acpi_ec_poll_write()
    acpi_ec_poll_query()
    acpi_ec_intr_read()
    acpi_ec_intr_write()
    acpi_ec_intr_query()

into:

    acpi_ec_poll_transaction()
    acpi_ec_intr_transaction()

These new functions take as arguments an ACPI EC command, a few bytes
to write to the EC data register and a buffer for a few bytes to read
from the EC data register. The old _read(), _write(), _query() are
just special cases of these functions.

Then unified the code in acpi_ec_poll_transaction() and
acpi_ec_intr_transaction() a little more. Both functions are now just
wrappers around the new acpi_ec_transaction_unlocked() function. The
latter contains the EC access logic, the two original
function now just do their special way of locking and call the the
new function for the actual work.

This saves a lot of very similar code. The primary reason for doing
this, however, is that my driver for MSI 270 laptops needs to issue
some non-standard EC commands in a safe way. Due to this I added a new
exported function similar to ec_write()/ec_write() which is called
ec_transaction() and is essentially just a wrapper around
acpi_ec_{poll,intr}_transaction().

Venkatesh Pallipadi 991528d734 ACPI: Processor native C-states using MWAIT
Intel processors starting with the Core Duo support
support processor native C-state using the MWAIT instruction.
Refer: Intel Architecture Software Developer's Manual
http://www.intel.com/design/Pentium4/manuals/253668.htm

Platform firmware exports the support for Native C-state to OS using
ACPI _PDC and _CST methods.
Refer: Intel Processor Vendor-Specific ACPI: Interface Specification
http://www.intel.com/technology/iapc/acpi/downloads/302223.htm

With Processor Native C-state, we use 'MWAIT' instruction on the processor
to enter different C-states (C1, C2, C3).  We won't use the special IO
ports to enter C-state and no SMM mode etc required to enter C-state.
Overall this will mean better C-state support.

One major advantage of using MWAIT for all C-states is, with this and
"treat interrupt as break event" feature of MWAIT, we can now get accurate
timing for the time spent in C1, C2, ..  states.
