Devices on the Intel Lynxpoint Low Power Subsystem (LPSS) have some
common features that aren't shared with any other platform devices,
including the clock and LTR (Latency Tolerance Reporting) registers.
It is better to handle those features in common code than to bother
device drivers with doing that (I/O functionality-wise the LPSS
devices are generally compatible with other devices that don't
have those special registers and may be handled by the same drivers).
The clock registers of the LPSS devices are now taken care of by
the special clk-x86-lpss driver, but the MMIO mappings used for
accessing those registers can also be used for accessing the LTR
registers on those devices (LTR support for the Lynxpoint LPSS is
going to be added by a subsequent patch). Thus it is convenient
to add a special ACPI scan handler for the Lynxpoint LPSS devices
that will create the MMIO mappings for accessing the clock (and
LTR in the future) registers and will register the LPSS devices'
clocks, so the clk-x86-lpss driver will only need to take care of
the main Lynxpoint LPSS clock.
Introduce a special ACPI scan handler for Intel Lynxpoint LPSS
devices as described above. This also reduces overhead related to
browsing the ACPI namespace in search of the LPSS devices before the
registration of their clocks, removes some LPSS-specific (and
somewhat ugly) code from acpi_platform.c and shrinks the overall code
size slightly.

Core System Resources Table (CSRT) is a proprietary ACPI table that
contains resources for certain devices that are not found in the DSDT
table. Typically a shared DMA controller might be found here.
This patch adds support for this table. We go through all entries in the
table and make platform devices of them. The resources from the table are
passed with the platform device.
There is one special resource in the table and it is the DMA request line
base and number of request lines. This information might be needed by the
DMA controller driver as it needs to map the ACPI DMA request line number
to the actual request line understood by the hardware. This range is passed
as IORESOURCE_DMA resource.

With ACPI 5 it is now possible to enumerate traditional SoC
peripherals, like serial bus controllers and slave devices behind
them. These devices are typically based on IP-blocks used in many
existing SoC platforms and platform drivers for them may already
be present in the kernel tree.
To make driver "porting" more straightforward, add ACPI support to
the platform bus type. Instead of writing ACPI "glue" drivers for
the existing platform drivers, register the platform bus type with
ACPI to create platform device objects for the drivers and bind the
corresponding ACPI handles to those platform devices.
This should allow us to reuse the existing platform drivers for the
devices in question with the minimum amount of modifications.
This changeset is based on Mika Westerberg's and Mathias Nyman's

ACPI 4.0 spec adds the ACPI IPMI opregion, which means that the ACPI AML
code can also communicate with the BMC controller. This is to install
the ACPI IPMI opregion and enable the ACPI to access the BMC controller
through the IPMI message.
It will create IPMI user interface for every IPMI device detected
in ACPI namespace and install the corresponding IPMI opregion space handler.
Then it can enable ACPI to access the BMC controller through the IPMI
message.
The following describes how to process the IPMI request in IPMI space handler:
1. format the IPMI message based on the request in AML code.
IPMI system address. Now the address type is SYSTEM_INTERFACE_ADDR_TYPE
IPMI net function & command
IPMI message payload
2. send the IPMI message by using the function of ipmi_request_settime
3. wait for the completion of IPMI message. It can be done in different
routes: One is in handled in IPMI user recv callback function. Another is
handled in timeout function.
4. format the IPMI response and return it to ACPI AML code.
At the same time it also addes the module dependency. The ACPI IPMI opregion
will depend on the IPMI subsystem.

Some ACPI IO accessing need to be done in atomic context. For example,
APEI ERST operations may be used for permanent storage in hardware
error handler. That is, it may be called in atomic contexts such as
IRQ or NMI, etc. And, ERST/EINJ implement their operations via IO
memory/port accessing. But the IO memory accessing method provided by
ACPI (acpi_read/acpi_write) maps the IO memory during it is accessed,
so it can not be used in atomic context. To solve the issue, the IO
memory should be pre-mapped during EINJ/ERST initializing. A linked
list is used to record which memory area has been mapped, when memory
is accessed in hardware error handler, search the linked list for the
mapped virtual address from the given physical address.

We discovered that at least one machine (HP Envy), methods in the DSDT
attempt to call external methods defined in a dynamically loaded SSDT.
Unfortunately, the DSDT methods we are trying to call are part of the
EC initialization, which happens very early, and the the dynamic SSDT
is only loaded when a processor _PDC method runs much later.
This results in namespace lookup errors for the (as of yet) undefined
methods.
Since Windows doesn't have any issues with this machine, we take it
as a hint that they must be evaluating _PDC much earlier than we are.
Thus, the proper thing for Linux to do should be to match the Windows
implementation more closely.
Provide a mechanism to call _PDC before we enable the EC. Doing so loads
the dynamic tables, and allows the EC to be enabled correctly.
The ACPI processor driver will still evaluate _PDC in its .add() method
to cover the hotplug case.

Feedback from Hidetoshi Seto and Kenji Kaneshige incorporated. This
correctly handles PCI-X bridges, PCIe root ports and endpoints, and
prints debug messages when invalid/reserved types are found in the
HEST. PCI devices not in domain/segment 0 are not represented in
HEST, thus will be ignored.
Today, the PCIe Advanced Error Reporting (AER) driver attaches itself
to every PCIe root port for which BIOS reports it should, via ACPI
_OSC.
However, _OSC alone is insufficient for newer BIOSes. Part of ACPI
4.0 is the new APEI (ACPI Platform Error Interfaces) which is a way
for OS and BIOS to handshake over which errors for which components
each will handle. One table in ACPI 4.0 is the Hardware Error Source
Table (HEST), where BIOS can define that errors for certain PCIe
devices (or all devices), should be handled by BIOS ("Firmware First
mode"), rather than be handled by the OS.
Dell PowerEdge 11G server BIOS defines Firmware First mode in HEST, so
that it may manage such errors, log them to the System Event Log, and
possibly take other actions. The aer driver should honor this, and
not attach itself to devices noted as such.
Furthermore, Kenji Kaneshige reminded us to disallow changing the AER
registers when respecting Firmware First mode. Platform firmware is
expected to manage these, and if changes to them are allowed, it could
break that firmware's behavior.
The HEST parsing code may be replaced in the future by a more
feature-rich implementation. This patch provides the minimum needed
to prevent breakage until that implementation is available.

ACPI 4.0 created the logical "processor aggregator device" as
a mechinism for platforms to ask the OS to force otherwise busy
processors to enter (power saving) idle.
The intent is to lower power consumption to ride-out
transient electrical and thermal emergencies,
rather than powering off the server.
On platforms that can save more power/performance via P-states,
the platform will first exhaust P-states before forcing idle.
However, the relative benefit of P-states vs. idle states
is platform dependent, and thus this driver need not know
or care about it.
This driver does not use the kernel's CPU hot-plug mechanism
because after the transient emergency is over, the system must
be returned to its normal state, and hotplug would permanently
break both cpusets and binding.
So to force idle, the driver creates a power saving thread.
The scheduler will migrate the thread to the preferred CPU.
The thread has max priority and has SCHED_RR policy,
so it can occupy one CPU. To save power, the thread will
invoke the deep C-state entry instructions.
To avoid starvation, the thread will sleep 5% of the time
time for every second (current RT scheduler has threshold
to avoid starvation, but if other CPUs are idle,
the CPU can borrow CPU timer from other,
which makes the mechanism not work here)
Vaidyanathan Srinivasan has proposed scheduler enhancements
to allow injecting idle time into the system. This driver doesn't
depend on those enhancements, but could cut over to them
when they are available.
Peter Z. does not favor upstreaming this driver until
the those scheduler enhancements are in place. However,
we favor upstreaming this driver now because it is useful
now, and can be enhanced over time.

This patch initializes the batter driver asynchronously, so that other

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

In the above commit the "acpi.power_nocheck" module parameter is defined
in drivers/acpi/power.c file. As several module parameters using the same ACPI
prefix are defined in the different files(for example: power_nocheck is
defined in drivers/acpi/power.c,debug_layer/debug_level are defined in
drivers/acpi/debug.c) and there exists another module between them, the
warning message will be printed when using the current generic param code.
(In the function of param_sysfs_init).
In fact when ACPI is selected, the drivers/acpi/power will also be compiled
as built-in kernel.So this issue can be fixed by the following approach.
workaround it by adjusting the module link order in drivers/acpi/Makefile.
In such case the module parameter using the same prefix(ACPI) are put together
in the param data section.
Of course the better solution is to fix it in generic param code related
with sysfs.
