a5fe1a03f7 ACPICA: fix leak of acpi_os_validate_address
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13620

If the dynamic region is created and added to resource list over and over again,
it has the potential to be a memory leak by growing the list every time.

This patch fixes the memory leak, as below

1) add a new field "count" to struct acpi_res_list.

   When inserting, if the region(addr, len) is already in the resource
   list, we just increase "count", otherwise, the region is inserted
   with count=1.

   When deleting, the "count" is decreased, if it's decreased to 0,
   the region is deleted from the resource list.

   With "count", the region with same address and length can only be
   inserted to the resource list once, so prevent potential memory leak.

2) add a new function acpi_os_invalidate_address, which is called when
   region is deleted.

15b8dd53f5 ACPICA: Major update for acpi_get_object_info external interface
Completed a major update for the acpi_get_object_info external interface.
Changes include:
 - Support for variable, unlimited length HID, UID, and CID strings
 - Support Processor objects the same as Devices (HID,UID,CID,ADR,STA, etc.)
 - Call the _SxW power methods on behalf of a device object
 - Determine if a device is a PCI root bridge
 - Change the ACPI_BUFFER parameter to ACPI_DEVICE_INFO.
These changes will require an update to all callers of this interface.
See the ACPICA Programmer Reference for details.

Also, update all invocations of acpi_get_object_info interface

2a908002c7 ACPI processor: force throttling state when BIOS returns incorrect value
If the BIOS reports an invalid throttling state (which seems to be
fairly common after system boot), a reset is done to state T0.
Because of a check in acpi_processor_get_throttling_ptc(), the reset
never actually gets executed, which results in the error reoccurring
on every access of for example /proc/acpi/processor/CPU0/throttling.

Add a 'force' option to acpi_processor_set_throttling() to ensure
the reset really takes effect.

Addresses http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13389

This patch, together with the next one, fixes a regression introduced in
2.6.30, listed on the regression list. They have been available for 2.5
months now in bugzilla, but have not been picked up, despite various
reminders and without any reason given.

Google shows that numerous people are hitting this issue. The issue is in
itself relatively minor, but the bug in the code is clear.

The patches have been in all my kernels and today testing has shown that
throttling works correctly with the patches applied when the system
overheats (http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13918#c14).

86e437f077 ACPI: Add the reference count to avoid unloading ACPI video bus twice
Sometimes both acpi video and i915 driver are compiled as modules.
And there exists the strict dependency between the two drivers.
The acpi video bus will be unloaded in course of unloading the i915 driver.
If we unload the acpi video driver, then the kernel oops will be triggered.

Add the reference count to avoid unloading the ACPI video bus twice.
The reference count should be checked before unregistering the acpi video bus.
If the reference count is already zero, it won't unregister it again.
And after the acpi video bus is already unregistered, the reference count
will be set to zero.

6d27813100 ACPI: allow drivers to request both device and system notify events
System notify events (0x00-0x7f) are common across all device types
and should be handled in Linux/ACPI, not in drivers.  However, some
BIOSes use system notify events in device-specific ways that require
the driver to be involved.

This patch adds a ACPI_DRIVER_ALL_NOTIFY_EVENTS driver flag.  When a
driver sets this flag and supplies a .notify method, Linux/ACPI calls
the .notify method for ALL notify events on the device, not just the
device-specific (0x80-0xff) events.

499650de69 ACPI: eviscerate pci_bind.c
Now that we can dynamically convert an ACPI CA handle to a
struct pci_dev at runtime, there's no need to statically bind
them during boot.

acpi_pci_bind/unbind are vastly simplified, and are only used
to evaluate _PRT methods on P2P bridges and non-bridge children.

This patch also changes the time-space tradeoff ever so slightly.

Looking up the ACPI-PCI binding is never in the performance path, and by
eliminating this caching, we save 24 bytes for each _ADR device in the
ACPI namespace.

This patch lays further groundwork to eventually eliminate
the acpi_driver_ops.bind callback.

2f7bbceb5b ACPI: Introduce acpi_get_pci_dev()
Convert an ACPI CA handle to a struct pci_dev.

Performing this lookup dynamically allows us to get rid of the
ACPI-PCI binding code, which:

	- eliminates struct acpi_device vs struct pci_dev lifetime issues
	- lays more groundwork for eliminating .start from acpi_device_ops
	  and thus simplifying ACPI drivers
	- whacks out a lot of code

This change lays the groundwork for eliminating much of pci_bind.c.

Although pci_root.c may not be the most logical place for this
change, putting it here saves us from having to export acpi_pci_find_root.

b9417f84e1 ACPI: use LNXCPU, not ACPI_CPU, for Linux-specific processor _HID
ACPI_PROCESSOR_OBJECT_HID is a synthetic _HID that Linux generates
for "Processor" definitions.  Unlike "Device" definitions, "Processor"
definitions do not have a _HID in the namespace, so we generate a
fake _HID.  By convention, all these fake _HIDs begin with "LNX".

This does change the user-visible _HID for "Processor" objects --
previously, we used "ACPI_CPU" and this changes that to "LNXCPU",
which starts with "LNX" as do all the other made-up _HIDs.  This
change is visible in processor filenames and "hid" files under
/sys/devices/LNXSYSTM:00/.

2c03d07ad5 hwmon: Add Asus ATK0110 support
Asus boards have an ACPI interface for interacting with the hwmon (fan,
temperatures, voltages) subsystem; this driver exposes the relevant
information via the standard sysfs interface.

There are two different ACPI interfaces:
- an old one (based on RVLT/RFAN/RTMP)
- a new one (GGRP/GITM)
Both may be present but there a few cases (my board, sigh) where the
new interface is just an empty stub; the driver defaults to the old one
when both are present.
The old interface has received a considerable testing, but I'm still
awaiting confirmation from my tester that the new one is working as
expected (hence the debug code is still enabled).

Currently all the attributes are read-only, though a (partial) control
should be possible with a bit more work.

46ec8598fd ACPI: support acpi_device_ops .notify methods
This patch adds support for ACPI device driver .notify() methods.  If
such a method is present, Linux/ACPI installs a handler for device
notifications (but not for system notifications such as Bus Check,
Device Check, etc).  When a device notification occurs, Linux/ACPI
passes it on to the driver's .notify() method.

In most cases, this removes the need for drivers to install their own
handlers for device-specific notifications.

For fixed hardware devices like some power and sleep buttons, there's
no notification value because there's no control method to execute a
Notify opcode.  When a fixed hardware device generates an event, we
handle it the same as a regular device notification, except we send
a ACPI_FIXED_HARDWARE_EVENT value.  This is outside the normal 0x0-0xff
range used by Notify opcodes.

Several drivers install their own handlers for system Bus Check and
Device Check notifications so they can support hot-plug.  This patch
doesn't affect that usage.

74a365b3f3 ACPI: Populate DIDL before registering ACPI video device on Intel
Intel graphics hardware that implements the ACPI IGD OpRegion spec

ACPI used to rely on low mappings being all linearly mapped and

when some spurious access still references it.

v2: remove prev_map and prev_size in __apci_map_table
v3: let acpi_os_unmap_memory() call early_iounmap too, so remove extral calling to

abe1dfab60 ACPI: don't cond_resched() when irqs_disabled()
The ACPI interpreter usually runs with irqs enabled.
However, during suspend/resume it runs with
irqs disabled to evaluate _GTS/_BFS, as well as
by irqrouter_resume() which evaluates _CRS, _PRS, _SRS.

e76f427611 ACPI: fix 2.6.28 acpi.debug_level regression
acpi_early_init() was changed to over-write the cmdline param,
making it really inconvenient to set debug flags at boot-time.

Also,
This sets the default level to "info", which is what all the ACPI
drivers use.  So to enable messages from drivers, you only have to
supply the "layer" (a.k.a. "component").  For non-"info" ACPI core
and ACPI interpreter messages, you have to supply both level and
layer masks, as before.

e899b6485c ACPICA: disable _BIF warning
A generic work-around from ACPICA is in the queue,
but since Linux has a work-around in its battery
driver, we can disable this warning now.

Allow _BIF method to return an Package with Buffer elements
