After commit 852972acff8f10f3a15679be2059bb94916cba5d (ACPI: Disable
ASPM if the platform won't provide _OSC control for PCIe) control of
the PCIe Capability Structure is unconditionally requested by
acpi_pci_root_add(), which in principle may cause problems to
happen in two ways. First, the BIOS may refuse to give control of
the PCIe Capability Structure if it is not asked for any of the
_OSC features depending on it at the same time. Second, the BIOS may
assume that control of the _OSC features depending on the PCIe
Capability Structure will be requested in the future and may behave
incorrectly if that doesn't happen. For this reason, control of
the PCIe Capability Structure should always be requested along with
control of any other _OSC features that may depend on it (ie. PCIe
native PME, PCIe native hot-plug, PCIe AER).Rework the PCIe port driver so that (1) it checks which native PCIe
port services can be enabled, according to the BIOS, and (2) it
requests control of all these services simultaneously. In
particular, this causes pcie_portdrv_probe() to fail if the BIOS
refuses to grant control of the PCIe Capability Structure, which
means that no native PCIe port services can be enabled for the PCIe
Root Complex the given port belongs to. If that happens, ASPM is
disabled to avoid problems with mishandling it by the part of the
PCIe hierarchy for which control of the PCIe Capability Structure
has not been received.Make it possible to override this behavior using 'pcie_ports=native'
(use the PCIe native services regardless of the BIOS response to the
control request), or 'pcie_ports=compat' (do not use the PCIe native
services at all).Accordingly, rework the existing PCIe port service drivers so that
they don't request control of the services directly.Signed-off-by: Rafael J. Wysocki

It is not immediately clear what this option causes to become
ignored. The actual meaning is that it is not necessary to unplug the
emulated devices to safely use the PV ones, even if the platform does
not support the unplug protocol. (pressumably the user will only add
this option if they have ensured that their domain configuration is
safe).I think xen_emul_unplug=unnecessary better captures this.

To keep panic_timeout accuracy when running under a hypervisor, the
current implementation only spins on long time (1 second) calls to mdelay.
That brings a good effect, but the problem is the keyboard LEDs don't
blink at all on that situation.This patch changes to call to panic_blink_enter() between every mdelay and
keeps blinking in spite of long spin timer mode.The time to call to mdelay is now 100ms. Even this change will keep
panic_timeout accuracy enough when running under a hypervisor.Signed-off-by: TAMUKI Shoichi

The Linux kernel assigns BARs that a BIOS did not assign, most likely
to handle broken BIOSes that didn't enumerate the devices correctly.
On UV the BIOS purposely doesn't assign I/O BARs for certain devices/
drivers we know don't use them (examples, LSI SAS, Qlogic FC, ...).
We purposely don't assign these I/O BARs because I/O Space is a very
limited resource. There is only 64k of I/O Space, and in a PCIe
topology that space gets divided up into 4k chucks (this is due to
the fact that a pci-to-pci bridge's I/O decoder is aligned at 4k)...
Thus a system can have at most 16 cards with I/O BARs: (64k / 4k = 16)SGI needs to scale to >16 devices with I/O BARs. So by not assigning
I/O BARs on devices we know don't use them, we can do that (iff the
kernel doesn't go and assign these BARs that the BIOS purposely didn't
assign).This patch will not assign a resource to a device BAR if that BAR was
not assigned by the BIOS, and the kernel cmdline option 'pci=nobar'
was specified. This patch is closely modeled after the 'pci=norom'
option that currently exists in the tree.Signed-off-by: Mike Habeck

Commit 2a6b69765ad794389f2fc3e14a0afa1a995221c2
(ACPI: Store NVS state even when entering suspend to RAM) caused the
ACPI suspend code save the NVS area during suspend and restore it
during resume unconditionally, although it is known that some systems
need to use acpi_sleep=s4_nonvs for hibernation to work. To allow
the affected systems to avoid saving and restoring the NVS area
during suspend to RAM and resume, introduce kernel command line
option acpi_sleep=nonvs and make acpi_sleep=s4_nonvs work as its
alias temporarily (add acpi_sleep=s4_nonvs to the feature removal
file).Addresses https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=16396 .

Commit c7f486567c1d0acd2e4166c47069835b9f75e77b
(PCI PM: PCIe PME root port service driver) causes the native PCIe
PME signaling to be used by default, if the BIOS allows the kernel to
control the standard configuration registers of PCIe root ports.
However, the native PCIe PME is coupled to the native PCIe hotplug
and calling pcie_pme_acpi_setup() makes some BIOSes expect that
the native PCIe hotplug will be used as well. That, in turn, causes
problems to appear on systems where the PCIe hotplug driver is not
loaded. The usual symptom, as reported by Jaroslav Kameník and
others, is that the ACPI GPE associated with PCIe hotplug keeps
firing continuously causing kacpid to take substantial percentage
of CPU time.To work around this issue, change the default so that the native
PCIe PME signaling is only used if directly requested with the help
of the pcie_pme= command line switch.Fixes https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15924 , which is
a listed regression from 2.6.33.Signed-off-by: Rafael J. Wysocki

This patch adds the capability to use the usb debug port with the
kernel debugger. It is also still possible to use this functionality
with or without the earlyprintk=dbgpX. It is possible to use the
kgdbwait boot argument to debug very early in the kernel start up code.There are two ways to use this driver extension with a kernel boot argument.
1) kgdbdbgp=# -- Where # is the number of the usb debug controller
You must use sysrq-g to break into the kernel debugger on another
connection type other than the dbgp.2) kgdbdbgp=#debugControlNum#,#Seconds#
In this mode, the usb debug port is polled every #Seconds# for
character input. It is possible to use gdb or press control-c to
break into the kernel debugger.From the implementation perspective there are 3 high level changes.
1) Allow variable retries for the the hardware via dbgp_bulk_read().
The amount of retries for the dbgp_bulk_read() needed to be
variable instead of fixed. We do not want to poll at all when the
kernel is operating in interrupt driven mode. The polling only
occurs if the kernel was booted when specifying some number of
seconds via the kgdbdbgp boot argument (IE kgdbdbgp=0,1). In this
case the loop count is reduced to 1 so as introduce the smallest
amount of latency as possible.2) Save the bulk IN endpoint address for use by the kgdb code.
3) The addition of the kgdb interface code.
This consisted of adding in a character read function for the dbgp
as well as a polling thread to allow the dbgp to interrupt the
kernel execution. The rest is the typical kgdb I/O api.CC: Eric Biederman

This patch adds in the kdb PS/2 keyboard driver. This was mostly a
direct port from the original kdb where I cleaned up the code against
checkpatch.pl and added the glue to stitch it into kgdb.This patch also enables early kdb debug via kgdbwait and the keyboard.
All the access to configure kdb using either a serial console or the
keyboard is done via kgdboc.If you want to use only the keyboard and want to break in early you
would add to your kernel command arguments:kgdboc=kbd kgdbwait
If you wanted serial and or the keyboard access you could use:
kgdboc=kbd,ttyS0
You can also configure kgdboc as a kernel module or at run time with
the sysfs where you can activate and deactivate kgdb.Turn it on:
echo kbd,ttyS0 > /sys/module/kgdboc/parameters/kgdbocTurn it off:
