* ACPI / Documentation: refer to correct file for acpi_platform_device_ids[] tableMika Westerberg2013-02-131-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | When the ACPI platform device code was converted to the new ACPI scan handler facility, the the acpi_platform_device_ids[] was moved to drivers/acpi/acpi_platform.c. Update the documentation accordingly. Signed-off-by: Mika Westerberg <mika.westerberg@linux.intel.com> Signed-off-by: Rafael J. Wysocki <rafael.j.wysocki@intel.com>
* 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, APEI, EINJ Param support is disabled by defaultHuang Ying2011-08-031-2/+9
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | EINJ parameter support is only usable for some specific BIOS. Originally, it is expected to have no harm for BIOS does not support it. But now, we found it will cause issue (memory overwriting) for some BIOS. So param support is disabled by default and only enabled when newly added module parameter named "param_extension" is explicitly specified.

* ACPI, APEI, Add PCIe AER error information printing supportHuang Ying2011-03-211-0/+25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The AER error information printing support is implemented in drivers/pci/pcie/aer/aer_print.c. So some string constants, functions and macros definitions can be re-used without being exported. The original PCIe AER error information printing function is not re-used directly because the overall format is quite different. And changing the original printing format may make some original users' scripts broken.

* ACPI, APEI, Add APEI generic error status printing supportHuang Ying2010-12-131-0/+122

While now printk is used by Linux kernel to report hardware error information to user space. So, this patch adds printing support for the data structure, so that the corresponding hardware error information can be reported to user space via printk. PCIe AER information printing is not implemented yet. Will refactor the original PCIe AER information printing code to avoid code duplicating.

* 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.

In case this option is selected, populate_rootfs() is called a bit earlier to have the initramfs content available during ACPI initialization. This is a very similar path to the one available at http://gaugusch.at/kernel.shtml but with some update in the documentation, default set to No and the change of populate_rootfs() the "Jeff Mahony way" (which avoids reading the initramfs twice).
