ACPI: skip checking BM_STS if the BIOS doesn't ask for it

2010-07-22T20:54:27Z

It turns out that there is a bit in the _CST for Intel FFH C3 that tells the OS if we should be checking BM_STS or not. Linux has been unconditionally checking BM_STS. If the chip-set is configured to enable BM_STS, it can retard or completely prevent entry into deep C-states -- as illustrated by turbostat: http://userweb.kernel.org/~lenb/acpi/utils/pmtools/turbostat/ ref: Intel Processor Vendor-Specific ACPI Interface Specification table 4 "_CST FFH GAS Field Encoding" Bit 1: Set to 1 if OSPM should use Bus Master avoidance for this C-state https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15886 Signed-off-by: Len Brown

ACPICA: Truncate I/O addresses to 16 bits for Windows compatibility

2010-06-12T04:55:50Z

This feature is optional and is enabled if the BIOS requests any Windows OSI strings. It can also be enabled by the host OS. Signed-off-by: Matthew Garrett Signed-off-by: Bob Moore Signed-off-by: Lin Ming Signed-off-by: Len Brown

ACPI / ACPICA: Avoid writing full enable masks to GPE registers

2010-06-12T04:45:05Z

ACPICA uses acpi_hw_write_gpe_enable_reg() to re-enable a GPE after an event signaled by it has been handled. However, this function writes the entire GPE enable mask to the GPE's enable register which may not be correct. Namely, if one of the other GPEs in the same register was previously enabled by acpi_enable_gpe() and subsequently disabled using acpi_set_gpe(), acpi_hw_write_gpe_enable_reg() will re-enable it along with the target GPE. To fix this issue rework acpi_hw_write_gpe_enable_reg() so that it calls acpi_hw_low_set_gpe() with a special action value, ACPI_GPE_COND_ENABLE, that will make it only enable the GPE if the corresponding bit in its register's enable_for_run mask is set.

ACPI / ACPICA: Fix low-level GPE manipulation code

2010-06-12T04:44:37Z

ACPICA uses acpi_ev_enable_gpe() for enabling GPEs at the low level, which is incorrect, because this function only enables the GPE if the corresponding bit in its enable register's enable_for_run mask is set. This causes acpi_set_gpe() to work incorrectly if used for enabling GPEs that were not previously enabled with acpi_enable_gpe(). As a result, among other things, wakeup-only GPEs are never enabled by acpi_enable_wakeup_device(), so the devices that use them are unable to wake up the system. To fix this issue remove acpi_ev_enable_gpe() and its counterpart acpi_ev_disable_gpe() and replace acpi_hw_low_disable_gpe() with acpi_hw_low_set_gpe() that will be used instead to manipulate GPE enable bits at the low level. Make the users of acpi_ev_enable_gpe() and acpi_ev_disable_gpe() call acpi_hw_low_set_gpe() instead and make sure that GPE enable masks are only updated by acpi_enable_gpe() and acpi_disable_gpe() when GPE reference counters change from 0 to 1 and from 1 to 0, respectively.
