These are typically devices +that are accessed through memory-mapped registers. + +In order to support this and re-use the existing drivers as much as +possible we decided to do following: + + o Devices that have no bus connector resource are represented as + platform devices. + + o Devices behind real busses where there is a connector resource + are represented as struct spi_device or struct i2c_device + (standard UARTs are not busses so there is no struct uart_device). + +As both ACPI and Device Tree represent a tree of devices (and their +resources) this implementation follows the Device Tree way as much as +possible. + +The ACPI implementation enumerates devices behind busses (platform, SPI and +I2C), creates the physical devices and binds them to their ACPI handle in +the ACPI namespace. + +This means that when ACPI_HANDLE(dev) returns non-NULL the device was +enumerated from ACPI namespace. This handle can be used to extract other +device-specific configuration. There is an example of this below. + +Platform bus support +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ +Since we are using platform devices to represent devices that are not +connected to any physical bus we only need to implement a platform driver +for the device and add supported ACPI IDs. If this same IP-block is used on +some other non-ACPI platform, the driver might work out of the box or needs +some minor changes. + +Adding ACPI support for an existing driver should be pretty +straightforward. Here is the simplest example: + + #ifdef CONFIG_ACPI + static struct acpi_device_id mydrv_acpi_match[] = { + /* ACPI IDs here */ + { } + }; + MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE(acpi, mydrv_acpi_match); + #endif + + static struct platform_driver my_driver = { + ... + .driver = { + .acpi_match_table = ACPI_PTR(mydrv_acpi_match), + }, + }; + +If the driver needs to perform more complex initialization like getting and +configuring GPIOs it can get its ACPI handle and extract this information +from ACPI tables. + +DMA support +~~~~~~~~~~~ +DMA controllers enumerated via ACPI should be registered in the system to +provide generic access to their resources. For example, a driver that would +like to be accessible to slave devices via generic API call +dma_request_slave_channel() must register itself at the end of the probe +function like this: + + err = devm_acpi_dma_controller_register(dev, xlate_func, dw); + /* Handle the error if it's not a case of !CONFIG_ACPI */ + +and implement custom xlate function if needed (usually acpi_dma_simple_xlate() +is enough) which converts the FixedDMA resource provided by struct +acpi_dma_spec into the corresponding DMA channel. A piece of code for that case +could look like: + + #ifdef CONFIG_ACPI + struct filter_args { + /* Provide necessary information for the filter_func */ + ... + }; + + static bool filter_func(struct dma_chan *chan, void *param) + { + /* Choose the proper channel */ + ... + } + + static struct dma_chan *xlate_func(struct acpi_dma_spec *dma_spec, + struct acpi_dma *adma) + { + dma_cap_mask_t cap; + struct filter_args args; + + /* Prepare arguments for filter_func */ + ... + return dma_request_channel(cap, filter_func, &args); + } + #else + static struct dma_chan *xlate_func(struct acpi_dma_spec *dma_spec, + struct acpi_dma *adma) + { + return NULL; + } + #endif + +dma_request_slave_channel() will call xlate_func() for each registered DMA +controller. In the xlate function the proper channel must be chosen based on +information in struct acpi_dma_spec and the properties of the controller +provided by struct acpi_dma. + +Clients must call dma_request_slave_channel() with the string parameter that +corresponds to a specific FixedDMA resource. By default "tx" means the first +entry of the FixedDMA resource array, "rx" means the second entry. The table +below shows a layout: + + Device (I2C0) + { + ... + Method (_CRS, 0, NotSerialized) + { + Name (DBUF, ResourceTemplate () + { + FixedDMA (0x0018, 0x0004, Width32bit, _Y48) + FixedDMA (0x0019, 0x0005, Width32bit, ) + }) + ... + } + } + +So, the FixedDMA with request line 0x0018 is "tx" and next one is "rx" in +this example. + +In robust cases the client unfortunately needs to call +acpi_dma_request_slave_chan_by_index() directly and therefore choose the +specific FixedDMA resource by its index. + +SPI serial bus support +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ +Slave devices behind SPI bus have SpiSerialBus resource attached to them. +This is extracted automatically by the SPI core and the slave devices are +enumerated once spi_register_master() is called by the bus driver. + +Here is what the ACPI namespace for a SPI slave might look like: + + Device (EEP0) + { + Name (_ADR, 1) + Name (_CID, Package() { + "ATML0025", + "AT25", + }) + ... + Method (_CRS, 0, NotSerialized) + { + SPISerialBus(1, PolarityLow, FourWireMode, 8, + ControllerInitiated, 1000000, ClockPolarityLow, + ClockPhaseFirst, "\\_SB.PCI0.SPI1",) + } + ... + +The SPI device drivers only need to add ACPI IDs in a similar way than with +the platform device drivers. Below is an example where we add ACPI support +to at25 SPI eeprom driver (this is meant for the above ACPI snippet): + + #ifdef CONFIG_ACPI + static struct acpi_device_id at25_acpi_match[] = { + { "AT25", 0 }, + { }, + }; + MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE(acpi, at25_acpi_match); + #endif + + static struct spi_driver at25_driver = { + .driver = { + ... + .acpi_match_table = ACPI_PTR(at25_acpi_match), + }, + }; + +Note that this driver actually needs more information like page size of the +eeprom etc. but at the time writing this there is no standard way of +passing those. One idea is to return this in _DSM method like: + + Device (EEP0) + { + ... + Method (_DSM, 4, NotSerialized) + { + Store (Package (6) + { + "byte-len", 1024, + "addr-mode", 2, + "page-size, 32 + }, Local0) + + // Check UUIDs etc. + + Return (Local0) + } + +Then the at25 SPI driver can get this configuration by calling _DSM on its +ACPI handle like: + + struct acpi_buffer output = { ACPI_ALLOCATE_BUFFER, NULL }; + struct acpi_object_list input; + acpi_status status; + + /* Fill in the input buffer */ + + status = acpi_evaluate_object(ACPI_HANDLE(&spi->dev), "_DSM", + &input, &output); + if (ACPI_FAILURE(status)) + /* Handle the error */ + + /* Extract the data here */ + + kfree(output.pointer); + +I2C serial bus support +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ +The slaves behind I2C bus controller only need to add the ACPI IDs like +with the platform and SPI drivers. The I2C core automatically enumerates +any slave devices behind the controller device once the adapter is +registered. + +Below is an example of how to add ACPI support to the existing mpu3050 +input driver: + + #ifdef CONFIG_ACPI + static struct acpi_device_id mpu3050_acpi_match[] = { + { "MPU3050", 0 }, + { }, + }; + MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE(acpi, mpu3050_acpi_match); + #endif + + static struct i2c_driver mpu3050_i2c_driver = { + .driver = { + .name = "mpu3050", + .owner = THIS_MODULE, + .pm = &mpu3050_pm, + .of_match_table = mpu3050_of_match, + .acpi_match_table ACPI_PTR(mpu3050_acpi_match), + }, + .probe = mpu3050_probe, + .remove = mpu3050_remove, + .id_table = mpu3050_ids, + }; + +GPIO support +~~~~~~~~~~~~ +ACPI 5 introduced two new resources to describe GPIO connections: GpioIo +and GpioInt. These resources are used be used to pass GPIO numbers used by +the device to the driver. For example: + + Method (_CRS, 0, NotSerialized) + { + Name (SBUF, ResourceTemplate() + { + ... + // Used to power on/off the device + GpioIo (Exclusive, PullDefault, 0x0000, 0x0000, + IoRestrictionOutputOnly, "\\_SB.PCI0.GPI0", + 0x00, ResourceConsumer,,) + { + // Pin List + 0x0055 + } + + // Interrupt for the device + GpioInt (Edge, ActiveHigh, ExclusiveAndWake, PullNone, + 0x0000, "\\_SB.PCI0.GPI0", 0x00, ResourceConsumer,,) + { + // Pin list + 0x0058 + } + + ... + + } + + Return (SBUF) + } + +These GPIO numbers are controller relative and path "\\_SB.PCI0.GPI0" +specifies the path to the controller. In order to use these GPIOs in Linux +we need to translate them to the corresponding Linux GPIO descriptors. + +There is a standard GPIO API for that and is documented in +Documentation/gpio/. + +In the above example we can get the corresponding two GPIO descriptors with +a code like this: + + #include <linux/gpio/consumer.h> + ... + + struct gpio_desc *irq_desc, *power_desc; + + irq_desc = gpiod_get_index(dev, NULL, 1); + if (IS_ERR(irq_desc)) + /* handle error */ + + power_desc = gpiod_get_index(dev, NULL, 0); + if (IS_ERR(power_desc)) + /* handle error */ + + /* Now we can use the GPIO descriptors */ + +There are also devm_* versions of these functions which release the +descriptors once the device is released. diff --git a/Documentation/acpi/initrd_table_override.txt b/Documentation/acpi/initrd_table_override.txt new file mode 100644 index 00000000000..35c3f541547 --- /dev/null +++ b/Documentation/acpi/initrd_table_override.txt @@ -0,0 +1,94 @@ +Overriding ACPI tables via initrd +================================= + +1) Introduction (What is this about) +2) What is this for +3) How does it work +4) References (Where to retrieve userspace tools) + +1) What is this about +--------------------- + +If the ACPI_INITRD_TABLE_OVERRIDE compile option is true, it is possible to +override nearly any ACPI table provided by the BIOS with an instrumented, +modified one. + +For a full list of ACPI tables that can be overridden, take a look at +the char *table_sigs[MAX_ACPI_SIGNATURE]; definition in drivers/acpi/osl.c +All ACPI tables iasl (Intel's ACPI compiler and disassembler) knows should +be overridable, except: + - ACPI_SIG_RSDP (has a signature of 6 bytes) + - ACPI_SIG_FACS (does not have an ordinary ACPI table header) +Both could get implemented as well. + + +2) What is this for +------------------- + +Please keep in mind that this is a debug option. +ACPI tables should not get overridden for productive use. +If BIOS ACPI tables are overridden the kernel will get tainted with the +TAINT_OVERRIDDEN_ACPI_TABLE flag. +Complain to your platform/BIOS vendor if you find a bug which is so sever +that a workaround is not accepted in the Linux kernel. + +Still, it can and should be enabled in any kernel, because: + - There is no functional change with not instrumented initrds + - It provides a powerful feature to easily debug and test ACPI BIOS table + compatibility with the Linux kernel. + + +3) How does it work +------------------- + +# Extract the machine's ACPI tables: +cd /tmp +acpidump >acpidump +acpixtract -a acpidump +# Disassemble, modify and recompile them: +iasl -d *.dat +# For example add this statement into a _PRT (PCI Routing Table) function +# of the DSDT: +Store("HELLO WORLD", debug) +iasl -sa dsdt.dsl +# Add the raw ACPI tables to an uncompressed cpio archive. +# They must be put into a /kernel/firmware/acpi directory inside the +# cpio archive. +# The uncompressed cpio archive must be the first. +# Other, typically compressed cpio archives, must be +# concatenated on top of the uncompressed one. +mkdir -p kernel/firmware/acpi +cp dsdt.aml kernel/firmware/acpi +# A maximum of: #define ACPI_OVERRIDE_TABLES 10 +# tables are currently allowed (see osl.c): +iasl -sa facp.dsl +iasl -sa ssdt1.dsl +cp facp.aml kernel/firmware/acpi +cp ssdt1.aml kernel/firmware/acpi +# Create the uncompressed cpio archive and concatenate the original initrd +# on top: +find kernel | cpio -H newc --create > /boot/instrumented_initrd +cat /boot/initrd >>/boot/instrumented_initrd +# reboot with increased acpi debug level, e.g. boot params: +acpi.debug_level=0x2 acpi.debug_layer=0xFFFFFFFF +# and check your syslog: +[ 1.268089] ACPI: PCI Interrupt Routing Table [\_SB_.PCI0._PRT] +[ 1.272091] [ACPI Debug] String [0x0B] "HELLO WORLD" + +iasl is able to disassemble and recompile quite a lot different, +also static ACPI tables. + + +4) Where to retrieve userspace tools +------------------------------------ + +iasl and acpixtract are part of Intel's ACPICA project: +http://acpica.org/ +and should be packaged by distributions (for example in the acpica package +on SUSE). + +acpidump can be found in Len Browns pmtools: +ftp://kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/lenb/acpi/utils/pmtools/acpidump +This tool is also part of the acpica package on SUSE. +Alternatively, used ACPI tables can be retrieved via sysfs in latest kernels: +/sys/firmware/acpi/tables diff --git a/Documentation/acpi/namespace.txt b/Documentation/acpi/namespace.txt new file mode 100644 index 00000000000..1860cb3865c --- /dev/null +++ b/Documentation/acpi/namespace.txt @@ -0,0 +1,388 @@ +ACPI Device Tree - Representation of ACPI Namespace + +Copyright (C) 2013, Intel Corporation +Author: Lv Zheng <lv.zheng@intel.com> + + +Abstract: + +The Linux ACPI subsystem converts ACPI namespace objects into a Linux +device tree under the /sys/devices/LNXSYSTEM:00 and updates it upon +receiving ACPI hotplug notification events.

Linux ACPI Device Objects + + The Linux kernel's core ACPI subsystem creates struct acpi_device + objects for ACPI namespace objects representing devices, power resources + processors, thermal zones.

The + format of their names is <bus_id:instance>, where 'bus_id' refers to the + ACPI namespace representation of the given object and 'instance' is used + for distinguishing different object of the same 'bus_id' (it is + two-digit decimal representation of an unsigned integer). + + The value of 'bus_id' depends on the type of the object whose name it is + part of as listed in the table below. + + +---+-----------------+-------+----------+ + | | Object/Feature | Table | bus_id | + +---+-----------------+-------+----------+ + | N | Root | xSDT | LNXSYSTM | + +---+-----------------+-------+----------+ + | N | Device | xSDT | _HID | + +---+-----------------+-------+----------+ + | N | Processor | xSDT | LNXCPU | + +---+-----------------+-------+----------+ + | N | ThermalZone | xSDT | LNXTHERM | + +---+-----------------+-------+----------+ + | N | PowerResource | xSDT | LNXPOWER | + +---+-----------------+-------+----------+ + | N | Other Devices | xSDT | device | + +---+-----------------+-------+----------+ + | F | PWR_BUTTON | FADT | LNXPWRBN | + +---+-----------------+-------+----------+ + | F | SLP_BUTTON | FADT | LNXSLPBN | + +---+-----------------+-------+----------+ + | M | Video Extension | xSDT | LNXVIDEO | + +---+-----------------+-------+----------+ + | M | ATA Controller | xSDT | LNXIOBAY | + +---+-----------------+-------+----------+ + | M | Docking Station | xSDT | LNXDOCK | + +---+-----------------+-------+----------+ + + Table 1. ACPI Namespace Objects Mapping + + The following rules apply when creating struct acpi_device objects on + the basis of the contents of ACPI System Description Tables (as + indicated by the letter in the first column and the notation in the + second column of the table above): + N: + The object's source is an ACPI namespace node (as indicated by the + named object's type in the second column). In that case the object's + directory in sysfs will contain the 'path' attribute whose value is + the full path to the node from the namespace root. + F: + The struct acpi_device object is created for a fixed hardware + feature (as indicated by the fixed feature flag's name in the second + column), so its sysfs directory will not contain the 'path' + attribute. + M: + The struct acpi_device object is created for an ACPI namespace node + with specific control methods (as indicated by the ACPI defined + device's type in the second column). The 'path' attribute containing + its namespace path will be present in its sysfs directory. For + example, if the _BCL method is present for an ACPI namespace node, a + struct acpi_device object with LNXVIDEO 'bus_id' will be created for + it. + + The third column of the above table indicates which ACPI System + Description Tables contain information used for the creation of the + struct acpi_device objects represented by the given row (xSDT means DSDT + or SSDT). + + The forth column of the above table indicates the 'bus_id' generation + rule of the struct acpi_device object: + _HID: + _HID in the last column of the table means that the object's bus_id + is derived from the _HID/_CID identification objects present under + the corresponding ACPI namespace node. The object's sysfs directory + will then contain the 'hid' and 'modalias' attributes that can be + used to retrieve the _HID and _CIDs of that object. + LNXxxxxx: + The 'modalias' attribute is also present for struct acpi_device + objects having bus_id of the "LNXxxxxx" form (pseudo devices), in + which cases it contains the bus_id string itself. + device: + 'device' in the last column of the table indicates that the object's + bus_id cannot be determined from _HID/_CID of the corresponding + ACPI namespace node, although that object represents a device (for + example, it may be a PCI device with _ADR defined and without _HID + or _CID). In that case the string 'device' will be used as the + object's bus_id. + + +4. Linux ACPI Physical Device Glue + + ACPI device (i.e. struct acpi_device) objects may be linked to other + objects in the Linux' device hierarchy that represent "physical" devices + (for example, devices on the PCI bus). If that happens, it means that + the ACPI device object is a "companion" of a device otherwise + represented in a different way and is used (1) to provide configuration + information on that device which cannot be obtained by other means and + (2) to do specific things to the device with the help of its ACPI + control methods. One ACPI device object may be linked this way to + multiple "physical" devices. + + If an ACPI device object is linked to a "physical" device, its sysfs + directory contains the "physical_node" symbolic link to the sysfs + directory of the target device object. In turn, the target device's + sysfs directory will then contain the "firmware_node" symbolic link to + the sysfs directory of the companion ACPI device object. + The linking mechanism relies on device identification provided by the + ACPI namespace. For example, if there's an ACPI namespace object + representing a PCI device (i.e. a device object under an ACPI namespace + object representing a PCI bridge) whose _ADR returns 0x00020000 and the + bus number of the parent PCI bridge is 0, the sysfs directory + representing the struct acpi_device object created for that ACPI + namespace object will contain the 'physical_node' symbolic link to the + /sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:02:0/ sysfs directory of the + corresponding PCI device. + + The linking mechanism is generally bus-specific.

Wysocki <rafael.j.wysocki@intel.com> + +During system initialization and ACPI-based device hot-add, the ACPI namespace +is scanned in search of device objects that generally represent various pieces +of hardware. This causes a struct acpi_device object to be created and +registered with the driver core for every device object in the ACPI namespace +and the hierarchy of those struct acpi_device objects reflects the namespace +layout (i.e. parent device objects in the namespace are represented by parent +struct acpi_device objects and analogously for their children). Those struct +acpi_device objects are referred to as "device nodes" in what follows, but they +should not be confused with struct device_node objects used by the Device Trees +parsing code (although their role is analogous to the role of those objects). + +During ACPI-based device hot-remove device nodes representing pieces of hardware +being removed are unregistered and deleted. + +The core ACPI namespace scanning code in drivers/acpi/scan.c carries out basic +initialization of device nodes, such as retrieving common configuration +information from the device objects represented by them and populating them with +appropriate data, but some of them require additional handling after they have +been registered. For example, if the given device node represents a PCI host +bridge, its registration should cause the PCI bus under that bridge to be +enumerated and PCI devices on that bus to be registered with the driver core. +Similarly, if the device node represents a PCI interrupt link, it is necessary +to configure that link so that the kernel can use it. + +Those additional configuration tasks usually depend on the type of the hardware +component represented by the given device node which can be determined on the +basis of the device node's hardware ID (HID). They are performed by objects +called ACPI scan handlers represented by the following structure: + +struct acpi_scan_handler { + const struct acpi_device_id *ids; + struct list_head list_node; + int (*attach)(struct acpi_device *dev, const struct acpi_device_id *id); + void (*detach)(struct acpi_device *dev); +}; + +where ids is the list of IDs of device nodes the given handler is supposed to +take care of, list_node is the hook to the global list of ACPI scan handlers +maintained by the ACPI core and the .attach() and .detach() callbacks are +executed, respectively, after registration of new device nodes and before +unregistration of device nodes the handler attached to previously. + +The namespace scanning function, acpi_bus_scan(), first registers all of the +device nodes in the given namespace scope with the driver core. Then, it tries +to match a scan handler against each of them using the ids arrays of the +available scan handlers. If a matching scan handler is found, its .attach() +callback is executed for the given device node. If that callback returns 1, +that means that the handler has claimed the device node and is now responsible +for carrying out any additional configuration tasks related to it. It also will +be responsible for preparing the device node for unregistration in that case. +The device node's handler field is then populated with the address of the scan +handler that has claimed it. + +If the .attach() callback returns 0, it means that the device node is not +interesting to the given scan handler and may be matched against the next scan +handler in the list. If it returns a (negative) error code, that means that +the namespace scan should be terminated due to a serious error. The error code +returned should then reflect the type of the error. + +The namespace trimming function, acpi_bus_trim(), first executes .detach() +callbacks from the scan handlers of all device nodes in the given namespace +scope (if they have scan handlers). Next, it unregisters all of the device +nodes in that scope. + +ACPI scan handlers can be added to the list maintained by the ACPI core with the +help of the acpi_scan_add_handler() function taking a pointer to the new scan +handler as an argument. The order in which scan handlers are added to the list +is the order in which they are matched against device nodes during namespace +scans. + +All scan handles must be added to the list before acpi_bus_scan() is run for the +first time and they cannot be removed from it. diff --git a/Documentation/acpi/video_extension.txt b/Documentation/acpi/video_extension.txt new file mode 100644 index 00000000000..78b32ac0246 --- /dev/null +++ b/Documentation/acpi/video_extension.txt @@ -0,0 +1,106 @@ +ACPI video extensions +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +This driver implement the ACPI Extensions For Display Adapters for +integrated graphics devices on motherboard, as specified in ACPI 2.0 +Specification, Appendix B, allowing to perform some basic control like +defining the video POST device, retrieving EDID information or to +setup a video output, etc. Note that this is an ref. implementation +only.

The event value is defined in the ACPI spec. ACPI + video driver will generate an key type input event according to the + notify value it received and send the event to user space through the + input device it created: + + event keycode + 0x86 KEY_BRIGHTNESSUP + 0x87 KEY_BRIGHTNESSDOWN + etc. + +so this would lead to the same effect as case i) now. + +Once user space tool receives this event, it can modify the backlight +level through the sysfs interface. + +3 Change backlight level in the kernel + +This works for machines covered by case ii) in Section 2. Once the driver +received a notification, it will set the backlight level accordingly.

This behaviour can be controlled through the brightness_switch_enabled +module parameter as documented in kernel-parameters.txt. It is recommended to +disable this behaviour once a GUI environment starts up and wants to have full +control of the backlight level. |
