72945b2b90 [PATCH] Revert "ACPI: execute Notify() handlers on new thread"
This effectively reverts commit b8d35192c5
by reverts acpi_os_queue_for_execution() to what it was before that,
except it changes the name to acpi_os_execute() to match ACPICA
20060512.

[ The thread execution doesn't actually solve the bug it set out to
  solve (see

	http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5534

  for more details) because the new events can get caught behind the AML
  semaphore or other serialization.  And when that happens, the notify
  threads keep on piling up until the system dies. ]

e21c1ca3f9 ACPI: acpi_os_allocate() fixes
Replace acpi_in_resume with a more general hack
to check irqs_disabled() on any kmalloc() from ACPI.
While setting (system_state != SYSTEM_RUNNING) on resume
seemed more general, Andrew Morton preferred this approach.

http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3469

Make acpi_os_allocate() into an inline function to
allow /proc/slab_allocators to work.

Delete some memset() that could fault on allocation failure.

967440e3be ACPI: ACPICA 20060623
Implemented a new acpi_spinlock type for the OSL lock
interfaces.  This allows the type to be customized to
the host OS for improved efficiency (since a spinlock is
usually a very small object.)

Implemented support for "ignored" bits in the ACPI
registers.  According to the ACPI specification, these
bits should be preserved when writing the registers via
a read/modify/write cycle. There are 3 bits preserved
in this manner: PM1_CONTROL[0] (SCI_EN), PM1_CONTROL[9],
and PM1_STATUS[11].
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3691

Implemented the initial deployment of new OSL mutex
interfaces.  Since some host operating systems have
separate mutex and semaphore objects, this feature was
requested. The base code now uses mutexes (and the new
mutex interfaces) wherever a binary semaphore was used
previously. However, for the current release, the mutex
interfaces are defined as macros to map them to the
existing semaphore interfaces.

Fixed several problems with the support for the control
method SyncLevel parameter. The SyncLevel now works
according to the ACPI specification and in concert with the
Mutex SyncLevel parameter, since the current SyncLevel is
a property of the executing thread. Mutual exclusion for
control methods is now implemented with a mutex instead
of a semaphore.

Fixed three instances of the use of the C shift operator
in the bitfield support code (exfldio.c) to avoid the use
of a shift value larger than the target data width. The
behavior of C compilers is undefined in this case and can
cause unpredictable results, and therefore the case must
be detected and avoided.  (Fiodor Suietov)

Added an info message whenever an SSDT or OEM table
is loaded dynamically via the Load() or LoadTable()
ASL operators. This should improve debugging capability
since it will show exactly what tables have been loaded
(beyond the tables present in the RSDT/XSDT.)

9e7e2c0475 ACPI: acpi_os_wait_semaphore(): silence complaint
The ASL Acquire operator (17.5.1 in ACPI 3.0 spec) is allowed to time out
and return True without acquiring the semaphore.  There's no indication in
the spec that this is an actual error, so this message should be
debug-only, as the message for successful acquisition is.

This used to be an ACPI_DEBUG_PRINT, but it was mis-classified as
ACPI_DB_ERROR rather than ACPI_DB_MUTEX, so it got swept up in Thomas'
recent patch to enable ACPI error messages even without CONFIG_ACPI_DEBUG.

4c90ece249 ACPI: ACPICA 20060608
Converted the locking mutex used for the ACPI hardware
to a spinlock. This change should eliminate all problems
caused by attempting to acquire a semaphore at interrupt
level, and it means that all ACPICA external interfaces
that directly access the ACPI hardware can be safely
called from interrupt level.

Fixed a regression introduced in 20060526 where the ACPI
device initialization could be prematurely aborted with
an AE_NOT_FOUND if a device did not have an optional
_INI method.

Fixed an IndexField issue where a write to the Data
Register should be limited in size to the AccessSize
(width) of the IndexField itself. (BZ 433, Fiodor Suietov)

b229cf92ee ACPI: ACPICA 20060421
Removed a device initialization optimization introduced in
20051216 where the _STA method was not run unless an _INI
was also present for the same device. This optimization
could cause problems because it could allow _INI methods
to be run within a not-present device subtree (If a
not-present device had no _INI, _STA would not be run,
the not-present status would not be discovered, and the
children of the device would be incorrectly traversed.)

Implemented a new _STA optimization where namespace
subtrees that do not contain _INI are identified and
ignored during device initialization. Selectively running
_STA can significantly improve boot time on large machines
(with assistance from Len Brown.)

Implemented support for the device initialization case
where the returned _STA flags indicate a device not-present
but functioning. In this case, _INI is not run, but the
device children are examined for presence, as per the
ACPI specification.

Implemented an additional change to the IndexField support
in order to conform to MS behavior. The value written to
the Index Register is not simply a byte offset, it is a
byte offset in units of the access width of the parent
Index Field. (Fiodor Suietov)

Defined and deployed a new OSL interface,
acpi_os_validate_address().  This interface is called during
the creation of all AML operation regions, and allows
the host OS to exert control over what addresses it will
allow the AML code to access. Operation Regions whose
addresses are disallowed will cause a runtime exception
when they are actually accessed (will not affect or abort
table loading.)

Defined and deployed a new OSL interface,
acpi_os_validate_interface().  This interface allows the host OS
to match the various "optional" interface/behavior strings
for the _OSI predefined control method as appropriate
(with assistance from Bjorn Helgaas.)

Restructured and corrected various problems in the
exception handling code paths within DsCallControlMethod
and DsTerminateControlMethod in dsmethod (with assistance
from Takayoshi Kochi.)

Modified the Linux source converter to ignore quoted string
literals while converting identifiers from mixed to lower
case. This will correct problems with the disassembler
and other areas where such strings must not be modified.

The ACPI_FUNCTION_* macros no longer require quotes around
the function name. This allows the Linux source converter
to convert the names, now that the converter ignores
quoted strings.

61686124f4 [ACPI] ACPICA 20060317
Implemented the use of a cache object for all internal
namespace nodes. Since there are about 1000 static nodes
in a typical system, this will decrease memory use for
cache implementations that minimize per-allocation overhead
(such as a slab allocator.)

Removed the reference count mechanism for internal
namespace nodes, since it was deemed unnecessary. This
reduces the size of each namespace node by about 5%-10%
on all platforms. Nodes are now 20 bytes for the 32-bit
case, and 32 bytes for the 64-bit case.

Optimized several internal data structures to reduce
object size on 64-bit platforms by packing data within
the 64-bit alignment. This includes the frequently used
ACPI_OPERAND_OBJECT, of which there can be ~1000 static
instances corresponding to the namespace objects.

Added two new strings for the predefined _OSI method:
"Windows 2001.1 SP1" and "Windows 2006".

Split the allocation tracking mechanism out to a separate
file, from utalloc.c to uttrack.c. This mechanism appears
to be only useful for application-level code. Kernels may
wish to not include uttrack.c in distributions.

Removed all remnants of the obsolete ACPI_REPORT_* macros
and the associated code. (These macros have been replaced
by the ACPI_ERROR and ACPI_WARNING macros.)

b2c99e3c70 [PATCH] EFI: keep physical table addresses in efi structure
Almost all users of the table addresses from the EFI system table want
physical addresses.  So rather than doing the pa->va->pa conversion, just keep
physical addresses in struct efi.

This fixes a DMI bug: the efi structure contained the physical SMBIOS address
on x86 but the virtual address on ia64, so dmi_scan_machine() used ioremap()
on a virtual address on ia64.

This is essentially the same as an earlier patch by Matt Tolentino:
	http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-kernel&m=112130292316281&w=2
except that this changes all table addresses, not just ACPI addresses.

Matt's original patch was backed out because it caused MCAs on HP sx1000
systems.  That problem is resolved by the ioremap() attribute checking added
for ia64.

Implemented support in the Resource Manager to allow
unresolved namestring references within resource package
objects for the _PRT method. This support is in addition
to the previously implemented unresolved reference
support within the AML parser. If the interpreter slack
mode is enabled (true on Linux unless acpi=strict),
these unresolved references will be passed through
to the caller as a NULL package entry.
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5741

Implemented and deployed new macros and functions for
error and warning messages across the subsystem. These
macros are simpler and generate less code than their
predecessors. The new macros ACPI_ERROR, ACPI_EXCEPTION,
ACPI_WARNING, and ACPI_INFO replace the ACPI_REPORT_*
macros.

integration of the Acquire/Release Lock OSL interfaces.

specification, zero length buffers are now treated as a
single EndTag. One-length buffers always cause a fatal
exception. Non-zero length buffers that do not end with
a full 2-byte EndTag cause a fatal exception.

0897831bb5 [ACPI] ACPICA 20051021
Implemented support for the EM64T and other x86_64
processors. This essentially entails recognizing
that these processors support non-aligned memory
transfers. Previously, all 64-bit processors were assumed
to lack hardware support for non-aligned transfers.

Completed conversion of the Resource Manager to nearly
full table-driven operation. Specifically, the resource
conversion code (convert AML to internal format and the
reverse) and the debug code to dump internal resource
descriptors are fully table-driven, reducing code and data
size and improving maintainability.

The OSL interfaces for Acquire and Release Lock now use a
64-bit flag word on 64-bit processors instead of a fixed
32-bit word. (Alexey Starikovskiy)

Implemented support within the resource conversion code
for the Type-Specific byte within the various ACPI 3.0
*WordSpace macros.

Fixed some issues within the resource conversion code for
the type-specific flags for both Memory and I/O address
resource descriptors. For Memory, implemented support
for the MTP and TTP flags. For I/O, split the TRS and TTP
flags into two separate fields.

73459f73e5 ACPICA 20050617-0624 from Bob Moore <robert.moore@intel.com>
ACPICA 20050617:

Moved the object cache operations into the OS interface
layer (OSL) to allow the host OS to handle these operations
if desired (for example, the Linux OSL will invoke the
slab allocator).  This support is optional; the compile
time define ACPI_USE_LOCAL_CACHE may be used to utilize
the original cache code in the ACPI CA core.  The new OSL
interfaces are shown below.  See utalloc.c for an example
implementation, and acpiosxf.h for the exact interface
definitions.  Thanks to Alexey Starikovskiy.
	acpi_os_create_cache
	acpi_os_delete_cache
	acpi_os_purge_cache
	acpi_os_acquire_object
	acpi_os_release_object

Modified the interfaces to acpi_os_acquire_lock and
acpi_os_release_lock to return and restore a flags
parameter.  This fits better with many OS lock models.
Note: the current execution state (interrupt handler
or not) is no longer passed to these interfaces.  If
necessary, the OSL must determine this state by itself, a
simple and fast operation.  Thanks to Alexey Starikovskiy.

Fixed a problem in the ACPI table handling where a valid
XSDT was assumed present if the revision of the RSDP
was 2 or greater.  According to the ACPI specification,
the XSDT is optional in all cases, and the table manager
therefore now checks for both an RSDP >=2 and a valid
XSDT pointer.  Otherwise, the RSDT pointer is used.
Some ACPI 2.0 compliant BIOSs contain only the RSDT.

Fixed an interpreter problem with the Mid() operator in the
case of an input string where the resulting output string
is of zero length.  It now correctly returns a valid,
null terminated string object instead of a string object
with a null pointer.

Fixed a problem with the control method argument handling
to allow a store to an Arg object that already contains an
object of type Device.  The Device object is now correctly
overwritten.  Previously, an error was returned.

ACPICA 20050624:

Modified the new OSL cache interfaces to use ACPI_CACHE_T
as the type for the host-defined cache object.  This allows
the OSL implementation to define and type this object in
any manner desired, simplifying the OSL implementation.
For example, ACPI_CACHE_T is defined as kmem_cache_t for
Linux, and should be defined in the OS-specific header
file for other operating systems as required.

Changed the interface to AcpiOsAcquireObject to directly
return the requested object as the function return (instead
of ACPI_STATUS.) This change was made for performance
reasons, since this is the purpose of the interface in the
first place.  acpi_os_acquire_object is now similar to the
acpi_os_allocate interface.  Thanks to Alexey Starikovskiy.

Modified the initialization sequence in
acpi_initialize_subsystem to call the OSL interface
acpi_osl_initialize first, before any local initialization.
This change was required because the global initialization
now calls OSL interfaces.

Restructured the code base to split some files because
of size and/or because the code logically belonged in a
separate file.  New files are listed below.

  utilities/utcache.c	/* Local cache interfaces */
  utilities/utmutex.c	/* Local mutex support */
  utilities/utstate.c	/* State object support */
  parser/psloop.c	/* Main AML parse loop */

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.

Let it rip!
