| * dma: acpi-dma: introduce ACPI DMA helpersAndy Shevchenko2013-04-151-0/+77
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There is a new generic API to get a DMA channel for a slave device (commit 9a6cecc8 "dmaengine: add helper function to request a slave DMA channel"). In similar fashion to the DT case (commit aa3da644 "of: Add generic device tree DMA helpers") we introduce helpers to the DMAC drivers which are enumerated by ACPI. The proposed extension provides the following API calls: acpi_dma_controller_register(), devm_acpi_dma_controller_register() acpi_dma_controller_free(), devm_acpi_dma_controller_free() acpi_dma_simple_xlate() acpi_dma_request_slave_chan_by_index() acpi_dma_request_slave_chan_by_name() The first two should be used, for example, at probe() and remove() of the corresponding DMAC driver. At the register stage the DMAC driver supplies a custom xlate() function to translate a struct dma_spec into struct dma_chan. Accordingly to the ACPI Fixed DMA resource specification the only two pieces of information the slave device has are the channel id and the request line (slave id). Those two are represented by struct dma_spec. The acpi_dma_request_slave_chan_by_index() provides access to the specifix FixedDMA resource by its index. Whereas dma_request_slave_channel() takes a string parameter to identify the DMA resources required by the slave device. To make a slave device driver work with both DeviceTree and ACPI enumeration a simple convention is established: "tx" corresponds to the index 0 and "rx" to the index 1. In case of robust configuration the slave device driver unfortunately needs to call acpi_dma_request_slave_chan_by_index() directly. Additionally the patch provides "managed" version of the register/free pair i.e. devm_acpi_dma_controller_register() and devm_acpi_dma_controller_free(). Usually, the driver uses only devm_acpi_dma_controller_register().

* | gpiolib-acpi: introduce acpi_get_gpio_by_index() helperMika Westerberg2013-04-121-1/+31
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | Instead of open-coding ACPI GPIO resource lookup in each driver, we provide a helper function analogous to Device Tree version that allows drivers to specify which GPIO resource they are interested (using an index to the GPIO resources). The function then finds out the correct resource, translates the ACPI GPIO number to the corresponding Linux GPIO number and returns that.

* ACPI / scan: Introduce struct acpi_scan_handlerRafael J. Wysocki2013-01-301-0/+77
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Introduce struct acpi_scan_handler for representing objects that will do configuration tasks depending on ACPI device nodes' hardware IDs (HIDs). Currently, those tasks are done either directly by the ACPI namespace scanning code or by ACPI device drivers designed specifically for this purpose. None of the above is desirable, however, because doing that directly in the namespace scanning code makes that code overly complicated and difficult to follow and doing that in "special" device drivers leads to a great deal of confusion about their role and to confusing interactions with the driver core (for example, sysfs directories are created for those drivers, but they are completely unnecessary and only increase the kernel's memory footprint in vain).

* Documentation: remove __dev* attributes.Greg Kroah-Hartman2013-01-031-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | CONFIG_HOTPLUG is going away as an option. As a result, the __dev* markings need to be removed. This change removes the use of __devinit, __devexit_p, __devinitdata, __devinitconst, and __devexit from the kernel documentation. Based on patches originally written by Bill Pemberton, but redone by me in order to handle some of the coding style issues better, by hand.

It adds a debugging capability to feed ACPI tables via the initramfs. On a grander scope, it formalizes using the initramfs protocol for feeding arbitrary blobs which need to be accessed early to the kernel: they are fed first in the initramfs blob (lots of bootloaders can concatenate this at boot time, others can use a single file) in an uncompressed cpio archive using filenames starting with "kernel/". The ACPI maintainers requested that this patchset be fed via the x86 tree rather than the ACPI tree as the footprint in the general x86 code is much bigger than in the ACPI code proper." * 'x86-acpi-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: X86 ACPI: Use #ifdef not #if for CONFIG_X86 check ACPI: Fix build when disabled ACPI: Document ACPI table overriding via initrd ACPI: Create acpi_table_taint() function to avoid code duplication ACPI: Implement physical address table override ACPI: Store valid ACPI tables passed via early initrd in reserved memblock areas x86, acpi: Introduce x86 arch specific arch_reserve_mem_area() for e820 handling lib: Add early cpio decoder

* ACPI: Remove ACPI_CUSTOM_DSDT_INITRD optionLinus Torvalds2008-03-152-53/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This essentially reverts commit 71fc47a9adf8ee89e5c96a47222915c5485ac437 ("ACPI: basic initramfs DSDT override support"), because the code simply isn't ready. It did ugly things to the init sequence to populate the rootfs image early, but that just ended up showing other problems with the whole approach. The fact is, the VFS layer simply isn't initialized this early, and the relevant ACPI code should either run much later, or this shouldn't be done at all. For 2.6.25, we'll just pick the latter option. We can revisit this concept later if necessary.
