Hector Martin bc76f90b8a ACPI battery: work around negative s16 battery current on Acer
Acer Aspire 8930G laptops (and possibly others) report the battery current
as a 16-bit signed negative when it is charging.  It also reports it as
0x10000 when the current is 0.  This patch adds a quirk for this which
takes the absolute value of the reported current cast to an s16.  This is
a DSDT bug present in the latest BIOS revision (the EC register is 16 bits
signed and the DSDT attempts to take the 16-bit two's complement of this,
which works for discharge but not charge.  It also breaks zero values
because a 32-bit register is used and the high bits aren't thrown away).

I've enabled this for all Acer systems which report in mA units.  This
should be safe since it won't break compliant systems unless they report a
current above 32A, which is insane.  The patch also detects the valid
32-bit value -1, which indicates unknown status, and does not attempt the
fix in that case (note that this does not conflict with 16-bit -1, which
is 65535 as read normally and gets translated to 1mA).

Linux/ACPI core files using internal.h all PREFIX "ACPI: ",
however, not all ACPI drivers use/want it -- and they
should not have to #undef PREFIX to define their own.

Add GPL commment to internal.h while we are there.

This does not change any actual console output,

Bjorn Helgaas d940669109 ACPI: battery: use .notify method instead of installing handler directly
This patch adds a .notify() method.  The presence of .notify() causes
Linux/ACPI to manage event handlers and notify handlers on our behalf,
so we don't have to install and remove them ourselves.

This driver apparently relies on seeing ALL notify events, not just
device-specific ones (because it used ACPI_ALL_NOTIFY).  We use the
ACPI_DRIVER_ALL_NOTIFY_EVENTS driver flag to request all events.

Vegard Nossum 5d38258ec0 ACPI battery: fix async boot oops
> BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at (null)

What happens is that the battery module's init sections are being freed
before the async callback (which was marked __init) has run. This theory
is supported by the fact that the bad RIP value is a vmalloc address.

The immediate fix is to make this a non-init call.

(A better long-term fix is of course to wait with init-section unloading
until a module's async initcalls have been run, which would allow us to
discard this function which is still only run once, after all. Perhaps a
new async_initcall() function for the async/module API, if this is needed
for other modules in the future?)

Arjan van de Ven 0f66af5301 ACPI: battery: asynchronous init
The battery driver tends to take quite some time to initialize
(100ms-300ms is quite typical).
This patch initializes the batter driver asynchronously, so that other
things in the kernel can initialize in parallel to this 300 msec.

As part of this, the battery driver had to move to the back
of the ACPI init order (hence the Makefile change).
Without this move, the next ACPI driver would just block
on the ACPI/devicee layer semaphores until the battery driver was
done anyway, not gaining any boot time.

Alexey Dobriyan 99b7623380 proc 2/2: remove struct proc_dir_entry::owner
Setting ->owner as done currently (pde->owner = THIS_MODULE) is racy
as correctly noted at bug #12454. Someone can lookup entry with NULL
->owner, thus not pinning enything, and release it later resulting
in module refcount underflow.

We can keep ->owner and supply it at registration time like ->proc_fops
and ->data.

But this leaves ->owner as easy-manipulative field (just one C assignment)
and somebody will forget to unpin previous/pin current module when
switching ->owner. ->proc_fops is declared as "const" which should give
some thoughts.

->read_proc/->write_proc were just fixed to not require ->owner for
protection.

rmmod'ed directories will be empty and return "." and ".." -- no harm.
And directories with tricky enough readdir and lookup shouldn't be modular.
We definitely don't want such modular code.

Removing ->owner will also make PDE smaller.

So, let's nuke it.

Kudos to Jeff Layton for reminding about this, let's say, oversight.

Richard Hughes 56f382a087 battery: don't assume we are fully charged when not charging or discharging
On hardware like the T61 it can take a couple of seconds for the battery
to start charging after the power is connected, and we incorrectly tell
userspace that we are fully charged, and then go back to charging.

Only mark a battery as fully charged when the preset charge matches either
the last full charge, or the design charge.

Linus Torvalds f10a3a32ae Revert "ACPI: battery: Convert discharge energy rate to current properly"
This reverts commit 558073dd56, along with
the failed try to fix the regression it caused ("ACPI: Fix ACPI battery
regression introduced by commit 558073"), which just made things worse.

Commit aaad077638 (that failed "Fix ACPI
battery regression") got the voltage conversion confused, and fixed the
problem with Rafael's battery monitor apparently just by mistake.

So revert them both, getting us back to the 2.6.27 state in this, and
let's revisit it when people understand what's going on.

Alexey Starikovskiy 558073dd56 ACPI: battery: Convert discharge energy rate to current properly
ACPI battery interface reports its state either in mW or in mA, and
discharge rate in your case is reported in mW. power_supply interface
does not have such a parameter, so current_now parameter is used
for all cases. But in case of mW, reported discharge should
be converted into mA.

Kay Sievers 0794469da3 ACPI: struct device - replace bus_id with dev_name(), dev_set_name()
This patch is part of a larger patch series which will remove
the "char bus_id[20]" name string from struct device. The device
name is managed in the kobject anyway, and without any size
limitation, and just needlessly copied into "struct device".

To set and read the device name dev_name(dev) and dev_set_name(dev)
must be used. If your code uses static kobjects, which it shouldn't
do, "const char *init_name" can be used to statically provide the
name the registered device should have. At registration time, the
init_name field is cleared, to enforce the use of dev_name(dev) to
access the device name at a later time.

We need to get rid of all occurrences of bus_id in the entire tree
to be able to enable the new interface. Please apply this patch,
and possibly convert any remaining remaining occurrences of bus_id.

We want to submit a patch to -next, which will remove bus_id from
"struct device", to find the remaining pieces to convert, and finally
switch over to the new api, which will remove the 20 bytes array
and does no longer have a size limitation.

Parag Warudkar 01e8ef11bc x86: sysfs: kill owner field from attribute
Tejun's commit 7b595756ec made sysfs
attribute->owner unnecessary.  But the field was left in the structure to
ease the merge.  It's been over a year since that change and it is now
time to start killing attribute->owner along with its users - one arch at
a time!

This patch is attempt #1 to get rid of attribute->owner only for
CONFIG_X86_64 or CONFIG_X86_32 .  We will deal with other arches later on
as and when possible - avr32 will be the next since that is something I
can test.  Compile (make allyesconfig / make allmodconfig / custom config)
and boot tested.

akpm: the idea is that we put the declaration of sttribute.owner inside
`#ifndef CONFIG_X86'.  But that proved to be too ambitious for now because
new usages kept on turning up in subsystem trees.

Acer BIOS has a bug which is exposed when a dead battery is present.

The package template that is used to describe battery status is
over-written with sane values when the battery is live.
But when the batter is dead, a bogus reference in the template
is used.  In this case, Linux returns a fault, when instead
it should simply return that it doesn't know the missing value.

Roland Dreier 4c41d3ad65 ACPI: Always return valid 'status' from acpi_battery_get_property()
If a battery is at a critical charge level and not being charged or
discharged, then the ACPI _BST method will return a state of 4, and
the current acpi_battery_get_property() code will not set any property
value for POWER_SUPPLY_PROP_STATUS.  This will cause an oops in
power_supply_show_property() when it reads off the end of the
status_text array.  This actually was causing a 100% reproducible
crash on boot on my laptop with two batteries, when one battery was
completely drained and the laptop was not plugged in.

Fix this by making sure acpi_battery_get_property() returns
POWER_SUPPLY_STATUS_UNKNOWN for any battery state it doesn't already
handle explicitly.  There doesn't seem to be any status enum value
defined that makes more sense than 'unknown' for a battery at a
critical charge level.

Schedule /proc/acpi/event for removal in 6 months.

Re-name acpi_bus_generate_event() to acpi_bus_generate_proc_event()
to make sure there is no confusion that it is for /proc/acpi/event only.

Add CONFIG_ACPI_PROC_EVENT to allow removal of /proc/acpi/event.
There is no functional change if CONFIG_ACPI_PROC_EVENT=y

Zhang Rui 962ce8ca06 ACPI: don't duplicate input events on netlink
The previous events patch added a netlink event for every
user of the legacy /proc/acpi/event interface.

However, some users of /proc/acpi/event are really input events,
and they already report their events via the input layer.

Introduce a new interface, acpi_bus_generate_netlink_event(),
which is explicitly called by devices that want to repoprt
events via netlink.  This allows the input-like events
to opt-out of generating netlink events.  In summary:

events that are sent via netlink:
	ac/battery/sbs
	thermal
	processor
	thinkpad_acpi dock/bay

events that are sent via input layer:
	button
	video hotkey
	thinkpad_acpi hotkey
	asus_acpi/asus-laptop hotkey
	sonypi/sonylaptop

This reverts commit 3bd92ba19a.

It is no longer necessary, and it opens up a race.
