      ACPI: WMI: Add ACPI-WMI mapping driver · bff431e4
      Carlos Corbacho authored
      
      
      The following is an implementation of the Windows Management
      Instrumentation (WMI) ACPI interface mapper (PNP0C14).
      
      What it does:
      
      Parses the _WDG method and exports functions to process WMI method calls,
      data block query/ set commands (both based on GUID) and does basic event
      handling.
      
      How: WMI presents an in kernel interface here (essentially, a minimal
      wrapper around ACPI)
      
      (const char *guid assume the 36 character ASCII representation of
      a GUID - e.g. 67C3371D-95A3-4C37-BB61-DD47B491DAAB)
      
      wmi_evaluate_method(const char *guid, u8 instance, u32 method_id,
      const struct acpi_buffer *in, struct acpi_buffer *out)
      
      wmi_query_block(const char *guid, u8 instance,
      struct acpi_buffer *out)
      
      wmi_set_block(const char *guid, u38 instance,
      const struct acpi_buffer *in)
      
      wmi_install_notify_handler(acpi_notify_handler handler);
      
      wmi_remove_notify_handler(void);
      
      wmi_get_event_data(u32 event, struct acpi_buffer *out)
      
      wmi_has_guid(const char guid*)
      
      wmi_has_guid() is a helper function to find if a GUID exists or not on the
      system (a quick and easy way for WMI dependant drivers to see if the
      the method/ block they want exists, since GUIDs are supposed to be unique).
      
      Event handling - allow a WMI based driver to register a notifier handler
      for each GUID with WMI. When a notification is sent to a GUID in WMI, the
      handler registered with WMI is then called (it is left to the caller to
      ask for the WMI event data associated with the GUID, if needed).
      
      What it won't do:
      
      Unicode - The MS article[1] calls for converting between ASCII and Unicode (or
      vice versa) if a GUID is marked as "string". This is left up to the calling
      driver.
      
      Handle a MOF[1] - the WMI mapper just exports methods, data and events to
      userspace. MOF handling is down to userspace.
      
      Userspace interface - this will be added later.

      ===
      ChangeLog
      ==
      
      v1 (2007-10-02):
      
      * Initial release
      
      v2 (2007-10-05):
      
      * Cleaned up code - split up super "wmi_evaluate_block" -> each external
        symbol now handles its own ACPI calls, rather than handing off to
        a "super" method (and in turn, is a lot simpler to read)
      * Added a find_guid() symbol - return true if a given GUID exists on
        the system
      * wmi_* functions now return type acpi_status (since they are just
        fancy wrappers around acpi_evaluate_object())
      * Removed extra debug code
      
      v3 (2007-10-27)
      
      * More code clean up - now passes checkpatch.pl
      * Change data block calls - ref MS spec, method ID is not required for
        them, so drop it from the function parameters.
      * Const'ify guid in the function call parameters.
      * Fix _WDG buffer handling - copy the data to our own private structure.
      * Change WMI from tristate to bool - otherwise the external functions are
        not exported in linux/acpi.h if you try to build WMI as a module.
      * Fix more flag comparisons.
      * Add a maintainers entry - since I wrote this, I should take the blame
        for it.
      
      v4 (2007-10-30)
      
      * Add missing brace from after fixing checkpatch errors.
      * Rewrote event handling - allow external drivers to register with WMI to
        handle WMI events
      * Clean up flags and sanitise flag handling
      
      v5 (2007-11-03)
      
      * Add sysfs interface for userspace. Export events over netlink again.
      * Remove module left overs, fully convert to built-in driver.
      * Tweak in-kernel API to use u8 for instance, since this is what the GUID
        blocks use (so instance cannot be greater than u8).
      * Export wmi_get_event_data() for in kernel WMI drivers.
      
      v6 (2007-11-07)
      
      * Split out userspace into a different patch
      
      v7 (2007-11-20)
      
      * Fix driver to handle multiple PNP0C14 devices - store all GUIDs using
        the kernel's built in list functions, and just keep adding to the list
        every time we handle a PNP0C14 devices - GUIDs will always be unique,
        and WMI callers do not know or care about different devices.
      * Change WMI event handler registration to use its' own event handling
        struct; we should not pass an acpi_handle down to any WMI based drivers
        - they should be able to function with only the calls provided in WMI.
      * Update my e-mail address
      
      v8 (2007-11-28)
      
      * Convert back to a module.
      * Update Kconfig to default to building as a module.
      * Remove an erroneous printk.
      * Simply comments for string flag (since we now leave the handling to the
        caller).
      
      v9 (2007-12-07)
      
      * Add back missing MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE for autoloading
      * Checkpatch fixes
      
      v10 (2007-12-12)
      
      * Workaround broken GUIDs declared expensive without a WCxx method.
      * Minor cleanups
      
      v11 (2007-12-17)
      
      * More fixing for broken GUIDs declared expensive without a WCxx method.
      * Add basic EmbeddedControl region handling.
      
      v12 (2007-12-18)
      
      * Changed EC region handling code, as per Alexey's comments.
      
      v13 (2007-12-27)
      
      * Changed event handling so that we can have one event handler registered
        per GUID, as per Matthew Garrett's suggestion.
      
      v14 (2008-01-12)
      
      * Remove ACPI debug statements
      
      v15 (2008-02-01)
      
      * Replace two remaining 'x == NULL' type tests with '!x'
      
      v16 (2008-02-05)
      
      * Change MAINTAINERS entry, as I am not, and never have been, paid to work
        on WMI
      * Remove 'default' line from Kconfig

      Add parameter to add_partial to avoid having two functions · 7c2e132c
      Christoph Lameter authored
      
      
      Add a parameter to add_partial instead of having separate functions.  The
      parameter allows a more detailed control of where the slab pages is placed in
      the partial queues.
      
      If we put slabs back to the front then they are likely immediately used for
      allocations.  If they are put at the end then we can maximize the time that
      the partial slabs spent without being subject to allocations.
      
      When deactivating slab we can put the slabs that had remote objects freed (we
      can see that because objects were put on the freelist that requires locks) to
      them at the end of the list so that the cachelines of remote processors can
      cool down.  Slabs that had objects from the local cpu freed to them (objects
      exist in the lockless freelist) are put in the front of the list to be reused
      ASAP in order to exploit the cache hot state of the local cpu.
      
      Patch seems to slightly improve tbench speed (1-2%).

      sysfs tells us its okay.
      
      Otherwise there is the danger (as pointed out by
      Al Viro) that sysfs thinks the kobject still exists after
      kmem_cache_destroy() removed it.

      Catalin Marinas authored
      
      
      This patch changes the REALVIEW_MPCORE configuration option to
      REALVIEW_EB_ARM11MP since this is only specific to RealView/EB.

      [ARM] 4821/1: RealView: Remove the platform dependencies from localtimer.c · 39e823e3
      Catalin Marinas authored
      
      
      This patch removes the TWD_BASE macro used to set up and configure the
      local timers on ARM11MPCore. The twd_base_addr and twd_size variables
      are defined in localtimer.c and set from the realview_eb_init function.

      [ARM] 4820/1: RealView: Select the timer IRQ at run-time · 8cc4c548
      Catalin Marinas authored
      
      
      This patch sets the timer IRQ at run-time by moving the sys_timer
      structure and the timer_init function to the realview_eb.c file. This
      allows multiple RealView platforms to be compiled in the same kernel
      image.

      [ARM] 4819/1: RealView: Fix entry-macro.S to work with multiple platforms · c4057f52
      Catalin Marinas authored
      
      
      This patch modifies the get_irqnr_preamble macro to work with multiple
      platforms at run-time by reading the address of the GIC controller from
      the gic_cpu_base_addr variable. This variable is defined in core.c and
      intialised in realview_eb.c (gic_init_irq).

      [ARM] 4818/1: RealView: Add core-tile detection · 7dd19e75
      Catalin Marinas authored
      
      
      This patch adds the core-tile detection and only enables devices if the
      corresponding tile is present. It currently detects the ARM11MPCore via
      the core_tile_eb11mp() macro.

      [ARM] 4817/1: RealView: Move the AMBA resource definitions to realview_eb.c · 0fc2a161
      Catalin Marinas authored
      
      
      This patch moves the IRQ and DMA definitions from core.h into
      realview_eb.c since they are platform-specific. It adds a
      realview_eb11mp_fixup function to adjust the IRQ numbers if the
      ARM11MPCore tile is fitted. The realview_smc91x_device is also moved
      from core.c into realview_eb.c.

      [ARM] 4816/1: RealView: Move the platform-specific definitions into board-eb.h · 356cb470
      Catalin Marinas authored
      
      
      This patch moves the platform specific definitions from platform.h into
      the board-eb.h file. It drops the INT_* definitions as they are no
      longer used in irqs.h (moved to board-eb.h). It renames REALVIEW_*
      macros to REALVIEW_EB_* or REALVIEW_EB11MP_* to distinguish between
      standard EB and EB + the ARM11MPCore tile. The platform.h file contains
      common definitions to the RealView platforms and it is only directly
      included in board-*.h files.

      [ARM] 4814/1: RealView: Add broadcasting clockevents support for ARM11MPCore · a8655e83
      Catalin Marinas authored
      
      
      This patch adds dummy local timers for each CPU so that the board clock
      device is used to broadcast events to the other CPUs. The patch also
      adds the declaration for the dummy_timer_setup function (the equivalent
      of local_timer_setup when CONFIG_LOCAL_TIMERS is not set).
      
      Due to the way clockevents work, the dummy timer on the first CPU has to
      be registered before the board timer.
