2009-12-30ACPI: WMI: Survive BIOS with duplicate GUIDsCarlos Corbacho
It would appear that in BIOS's with nVidia hooks, the GUID 05901221-D566-11D1-B2F0-00A0C9062910 is duplicated. For now, the simplest solution is to just ignore any duplicate GUIDs. These particular hooks are not currently supported/ used in the kernel, so whoever does that can figure out what the 'right' solution should be (if there's a better one). http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14846 Signed-off-by: Carlos Corbacho <carlos@strangeworlds.co.uk> Reported-by: Larry Finger <Larry.Finger@lwfinger.net> Reported-by: Oldřich Jedlička <oldium.pro@seznam.cz> Signed-off-by: Len Brown <len.brown@intel.com>

2009-12-24wmi: Free the allocated acpi objects through wmi_get_event_dataAnisse Astier
These function allocate an acpi object by calling wmi_get_event_data, which then calls acpi_evaluate_object, and it is not freed afterwards. And kernel doc is fixed for parameters of wmi_get_event_data.

2009-11-05wmi: Add support for module autoloadingMatthew Garrett
WMI provides interface-specific GUIDs that are exported from modules as modalises, but the core currently generates no events to trigger module loading. This patch adds support for registering devices for each WMI GUID and generating the appropriate uevent. Based heavily on a patch by Carlos Corbacho (<carlos@strangeworlds.co.uk>).

2009-08-28ACPI: Move definition of PREFIX from acpi_bus.h to internal..hLen Brown
Linux/ACPI core files using internal.h all PREFIX "ACPI: ", however, not all ACPI drivers use/want it -- and they should not have to #undef PREFIX to define their own. Add GPL commment to internal.h while we are there. This does not change any actual console output, asside from a whitespace fix. Signed-off-by: Len Brown <len.brown@intel.com>
2009-08-26wmi: fix kernel panic when stack protection enabled.Costantino Leandro
Summary: Kernel panic arise when stack protection is enabled, since strncat will add a null terminating byte '\0'; So in functions like this one (wmi_query_block): char wc[4]="WC"; .... strncat(method, block->object_id, 2); ... the length of wc should be n+1 (wc[5]) or stack protection fault will arise. This is not noticeable when stack protection is disabled,but , isn't good either. Config used: [CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR_ALL=y, CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR=y] Panic Trace ------------ .... stack-protector: kernel stack corrupted in : fa7b182c 2.6.30-rc8-obelisco-generic call_trace: [<c04a6c40>] ? panic+0x45/0xd9 [<c012925d>] ? __stack_chk_fail+0x1c/0x40 [<fa7b182c>] ? wmi_query_block+0x15a/0x162 [wmi] [<fa7b182c>] ? wmi_query_block+0x15a/0x162 [wmi] [<fa7e7000>] ? acer_wmi_init+0x00/0x61a [acer_wmi] [<fa7e7135>] ? acer_wmi_init+0x135/0x61a [acer_wmi] [<c0101159>] ? do_one_initcall+0x50+0x126 Addresses http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13514 Signed-off-by: Costantino Leandro <lcostantino@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Carlos Corbacho <carlos@strangeworlds.co.uk> Cc: Len Brown <len.brown@intel.com> Cc: Bjorn Helgaas <bjorn.helgaas@hp.com> Cc: "Rafael J.

2009-04-07ACPI: WMI: use .notify method instead of installing handler directlyBjorn Helgaas
This patch adds a .notify() method. The presence of .notify() causes Linux/ACPI to manage event handlers and notify handlers on our behalf, so we don't have to install and remove them ourselves.

2008-12-19ACPI: move wmi, asus_acpi, toshiba_acpi to drivers/platform/x86Len Brown
