2009-09-27ACPI: IA64=y ACPI=n build fixLen Brown
ia64's sim_defconfig uses CONFIG_ACPI=n which now #define's acpi_disabled in <linux/acpi.h> So we shouldn't re-define it here in <asm/acpi.h> Signed-off-by: Len Brown <len.brown@intel.com>
2009-09-27ACPI: Kill overly verbose "power state" log messagesRoland Dreier
I was recently lucky enough to get a 64-CPU system, so my kernel log ends up with 64 lines like: ACPI: CPU0 (power states: C1[C1] C2[C3]) This is pretty useless clutter because this info is already available after boot from both /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu*/cpuidle/state?/ as well as /proc/acpi/processor/CPU*/power. So just delete the code that prints the C-states in processor_idle.c. Signed-off-by: Roland Dreier <rolandd@cisco.com> Signed-off-by: Len Brown <len.brown@intel.com>

2009-09-27ACPI: Clarify resource conflict messageJean Delvare
The message "ACPI: Device needs an ACPI driver" is misleading. The device _may_ need an ACPI driver, if the BIOS implemented a custom API for the device in question (which, AFAIK, can't be checked.) If not, then either a generic ACPI driver may be used (for example "thermal"), or nothing can be done (other than a white list). I propose to reword the message to: ACPI: If an ACPI driver is available for this device, you should use it instead of the native driver which I think is more correct. Comments and suggestions welcome. I also added a message warning about possible problems and system instability when users pass acpi_enforce_resources=lax, as suggested by Len.

2009-09-25ACPI: make sure every acpi_device has an IDBjorn Helgaas
This makes sure every acpi_device has at least one ID. If we build an acpi_device for a namespace node with no _HID or _CID, we sometimes synthesize an ID like "LNXCPU" or "LNXVIDEO". If we don't even have that, give it a default "device" ID. Note that this means things like: /sys/devices/LNXSYSTM:00/LNXSYBUS:00/HWP0001:00/HWP0002:04/device:00 (a PCI slot SxFy device) will have "hid" and "modprobe" entries, where they didn't before. These aren't very useful (a HID of "device" doesn't tell you what *kind* of device it is, so it doesn't help find a driver), but I don't think they're harmful.

2009-09-25ACPI: fix synthetic HID for \_SB_Bjorn Helgaas
This makes \_SB_ show up as /sys/devices/LNXSYSTM:00/LNXSYBUS:00 rather than "device:00". This has been broken for a loooong time (at least since 2.6.13) because device->parent is an acpi_device pointer, not a handle.

2009-09-25ACPI: handle re-enumeration, when acpi_devices might already existBjorn Helgaas
acpi_bus_scan() traverses the namespace to enumerate devices and uses acpi_add_single_object() to create acpi_devices. When the platform notifies us of a hot-plug event, we need to traverse part of the namespace again to figure out what appeared or disappeared. (We don't yet call acpi_bus_scan() during hot-plug, but I plan to do that in the future.) This patch makes acpi_add_single_object() notice when we already have an acpi_device, so we don't need to make a new one.

2009-09-25ACPI: factor out device type and status checkingBjorn Helgaas
This patch adds acpi_bus_type_and_status(), which determines the type of the object and whether we want to build an acpi_device for it. If it is acpi_device-worthy, it returns the type and the device's current status. Signed-off-by: Bjorn Helgaas <bjorn.helgaas@hp.com> Signed-off-by: Len Brown <len.brown@intel.com>
2009-09-25ACPI: add acpi_bus_get_status_handle()Bjorn Helgaas
Add acpi_bus_get_status_handle() so we can get the status of a namespace object before building a struct acpi_device. This removes a use of "device->flags.dynamic_status", a cached indicator of whether _STA exists. It seems simpler and more reliable to just evaluate _STA and catch AE_NOT_FOUND errors.

2009-09-25ACPI: use acpi_walk_namespace() to enumerate devicesBjorn Helgaas
acpi_bus_scan() currently walks the namespace manually. This patch changes it to use acpi_walk_namespace() instead. Besides removing some complicated code, this means we take advantage of the namespace locking done by acpi_walk_namespace(). The locking isn't so important at boot-time, but I hope to eventually use this same path to handle hot-addition of devices, when it will be important. Note that acpi_walk_namespace() does not actually visit the starting node first, so we need to do that by hand first.

2009-09-25ACPI: identify device tree root by null parent pointer, not ACPI_BUS_TYPEBjorn Helgaas
We can identify the root of the ACPI device tree by the fact that it has no parent. This is simpler than passing around ACPI_BUS_TYPE_SYSTEM and will help remove special treatment of the device tree root. Currently, we add the root by hand with ACPI_BUS_TYPE_SYSTEM. If we traverse the tree treating the root as just another device and use acpi_get_type(), the root shows up as ACPI_TYPE_DEVICE.

2009-09-25ACPI: enumerate namespace before adding functional fixed hardware devicesBjorn Helgaas
This patch changes the order so we enumerate in the "root, namespace, functional fixed" order instead of the "root, functional fixed, namespace" order. When I change acpi_bus_scan() to use acpi_walk_namespace(), it will use the former order, so this patch isolates the order change for bisectability.

2009-09-25ACPI: convert acpi_bus_scan() to operate on an acpi_handleBjorn Helgaas
This patch changes acpi_bus_scan() to take an acpi_handle rather than an acpi_device pointer. I plan to use acpi_bus_scan() in the hotplug path, and I'd rather not assume that notifications only go to nodes that already have acpi_devices. This will also help remove the special case for adding the root node. We currently add the root by hand before acpi_bus_scan(), but using a handle here means we can start the acpi_bus_scan() directly with the root even though it doesn't have an acpi_device yet. Note that acpi_bus_scan() currently adds and/or starts the *children* of its device argument. It doesn't do anything with the device itself.

2009-09-25ACPI: add acpi_bus_get_parent() and remove "parent" argumentsBjorn Helgaas
This patch adds acpi_bus_get_parent(), which ascends the namespace until it finds a parent with an acpi_device. Then we use acpi_bus_get_parent() in acpi_add_single_object(), so callers don't have to figure out or keep track of the parent acpi_device.

2009-09-25ACPI: remove unnecessary argument checkingBjorn Helgaas
