The interactions between the ACPI dock driver and the ACPI-based PCI
hotplug (acpiphp) are currently problematic because of ordering
issues during hot-remove operations.First of all, the current ACPI glue code expects that physical
devices will always be deleted before deleting the companion ACPI
device objects. Otherwise, acpi_unbind_one() will fail with a
warning message printed to the kernel log, for example:[ 185.026073] usb usb5: Oops, 'acpi_handle' corrupt
[ 185.035150] pci 0000:1b:00.0: Oops, 'acpi_handle' corrupt
[ 185.035515] pci 0000:18:02.0: Oops, 'acpi_handle' corrupt
[ 180.013656] port1: Oops, 'acpi_handle' corruptThis means, in particular, that struct pci_dev objects have to
be deleted before the struct acpi_device objects they are "glued"
with.Now, the following happens the during the undocking of an ACPI-based
dock station:
1) hotplug_dock_devices() invokes registered hotplug callbacks to
destroy physical devices associated with the ACPI device objects
depending on the dock station. It calls dd->ops->handler() for
each of those device objects.
2) For PCI devices dd->ops->handler() points to
handle_hotplug_event_func() that queues up a separate work item
to execute _handle_hotplug_event_func() for the given device and
returns immediately. That work item will be executed later.
3) hotplug_dock_devices() calls dock_remove_acpi_device() for each
device depending on the dock station. This runs acpi_bus_trim()
for each of them, which causes the underlying ACPI device object
to be destroyed, but the work items queued up by
handle_hotplug_event_func() haven't been started yet.
4) _handle_hotplug_event_func() queued up in step 2) are executed
and cause the above failure to happen, because the PCI devices
they handle do not have the companion ACPI device objects any
more (those objects have been deleted in step 3).The possible breakage doesn't end here, though, because
hotplug_dock_devices() may return before at least some of the
_handle_hotplug_event_func() work items spawned by it have a
chance to complete and then undock() will cause _DCK to be
evaluated and that will cause the devices handled by the
_handle_hotplug_event_func() to go away possibly while they are
being accessed.This means that dd->ops->handler() for PCI devices should not point
to handle_hotplug_event_func(). Instead, it should point to a
function that will do the work of _handle_hotplug_event_func()
synchronously. For this reason, introduce such a function,
hotplug_event_func(), and modity acpiphp_dock_ops to point to
it as the handler.Unfortunately, however, this is not sufficient, because if the dock
code were not changed further, hotplug_event_func() would now
deadlock with hotplug_dock_devices() that called it, since it would
run unregister_hotplug_dock_device() which in turn would attempt to
acquire the dock station's hp_lock mutex already acquired by
hotplug_dock_devices().To resolve that deadlock use the observation that
unregister_hotplug_dock_device() won't need to acquire hp_lock
if PCI bridges the devices on the dock station depend on are
prevented from being removed prematurely while the first loop in
hotplug_dock_devices() is in progress.To make that possible, introduce a mechanism by which the callers of
register_hotplug_dock_device() can provide "init" and "release"
routines that will be executed, respectively, during the addition
and removal of the physical device object associated with the
given ACPI device handle. Make acpiphp use two new functions,
acpiphp_dock_init() and acpiphp_dock_release(), that call
get_bridge() and put_bridge(), respectively, on the acpiphp bridge
holding the given device, for this purpose.In addition to that, remove the dock station's list of
"hotplug devices" and make the dock code always walk the whole list
of "dependent devices" instead in such a way that the loops in
hotplug_dock_devices() and dock_event() (replacing the loops over
"hotplug devices") will take references to the list entries that
register_hotplug_dock_device() has been called for. That prevents
the "release" routines associated with those entries from being
called while the given entry is being processed and for PCI
devices this means that their bridges won't be removed (by a
concurrent thread) while hotplug_event_func() handling them is
being executed.This change is based on two earlier patches from Jiang Liu.

Commit 7cd8407 (ACPI / PM: Do not execute _PS0 for devices without
_PSC during initialization) introduced a regression on some systems
with Intel Lynxpoint Low-Power Subsystem (LPSS) where some devices
need to be powered up during initialization, but their device objects
in the ACPI namespace have _PS0 and _PS3 only (without _PSC or power
resources).To work around this problem, make the ACPI LPSS driver power up
devices it knows about by using a new helper function
acpi_device_fix_up_power() that does all of the necessary
sanity checks and calls acpi_dev_pm_explicit_set() to put the
device into D0.Reported-and-tested-by: Mika Westerberg

defined in drivers/acpi/device_pm.c and structure type
acpi_device_power_state defined in include/acpi/acpi_bus.h, which
may be resolved by renaming the function. Additionally, that
funtion may be made static, because it is not used anywhere outside
of the file it is defined in.Rename acpi_device_power_state() to acpi_dev_pm_get_state(), which
better reflects its purpose, and make it static.Signed-off-by: Rafael J. Wysocki

Currently, drivers/acpi/device_pm.c depends on CONFIG_PM and all of
the functions defined in there are replaced with static inline stubs
if that option is unset. However, CONFIG_PM means, roughly, "runtime
PM or suspend/hibernation support" and some of those functions are
useful regardless of that. For example, they are used by the ACPI
fan driver for controlling fans and acpi_device_set_power() is called
during device removal. Moreover, device initialization may depend on
setting device power states properly.For these reasons, make the routines manipulating ACPI device power
states defined in drivers/acpi/device_pm.c available for CONFIG_PM
unset too.Reported-by: Zhang Rui

Split the ACPI processor driver into two parts, one that is
non-modular, resides in the ACPI core and handles the enumeration
and hotplug of processors and one that implements the rest of the
existing processor driver functionality.The non-modular part uses an ACPI scan handler object to enumerate
processors on the basis of information provided by the ACPI namespace
and to hook up with the common ACPI hotplug infrastructure. It also
populates the ACPI handle of each processor device having a
corresponding object in the ACPI namespace, which allows the driver
proper to bind to those devices, and makes the driver bind to them
if it is readily available (i.e. loaded) when the scan handler's
.attach() routine is running.There are a few reasons to make this change.
First, switching the ACPI processor driver to using the common ACPI
hotplug infrastructure reduces code duplication and size considerably,
even though a new file is created along with a header comment etc.Second, since the common hotplug code attempts to offline devices
before starting the (non-reversible) removal procedure, it will abort
(and possibly roll back) hot-remove operations involving processors
if cpu_down() returns an error code for one of them instead of
continuing them blindly (if /sys/firmware/acpi/hotplug/force_remove
is unset). That is a more desirable behavior than what the current
code does.Finally, the separation of the scan/hotplug part from the driver
proper makes it possible to simplify the driver's .remove() routine,
because it doesn't need to worry about the possible cleanup related
to processor removal any more (the scan/hotplug part is responsible
for that now) and can handle device removal and driver removal
symmetricaly (i.e. as appropriate).Some user-visible changes in sysfs are made (for example, the
'sysdev' link from the ACPI device node to the processor device's
directory is gone and a 'physical_node' link is present instead
and a corresponding 'firmware_node' is present in the processor
device's directory, the processor driver is now visible under
/sys/bus/cpu/drivers/ and bound to the processor device), but
that shouldn't affect the functionality that users care about
(frequency scaling, C-states and thermal management).Tested on my venerable Toshiba Portege R500.

Modify the generic ACPI hotplug code to be able to check if devices
scheduled for hot-removal may be gracefully removed from the system
using the device offline/online mechanism introduced previously.Namely, make acpi_scan_hot_remove() handling device hot-removal call
device_offline() for all physical companions of the ACPI device nodes
involved in the operation and check the results. If any of the
device_offline() calls fails, the function will not progress to the
removal phase (which cannot be aborted), unless its (new) force
argument is set (in case of a failing offline it will put the devices
offlined by it back online).In support of 'forced' device hot-removal, add a new sysfs attribute
'force_remove' that will reside under /sys/firmware/acpi/hotplug/.Signed-off-by: Rafael J. Wysocki

The system suspend routine of the ACPI processor driver saves
the BUS_MASTER_RLD register and its resume routine restores it.
However, there can be only one such register in the system and it
really should be saved after non-boot CPUs have been offlined and
restored before they are put back online during resume.For this reason, move the saving and restoration of BUS_MASTER_RLD
to syscore suspend and syscore resume, respectively, and drop the no
longer necessary suspend/resume callbacks from the ACPI processor
driver.Signed-off-by: Rafael J. Wysocki

The git commit d5aaffa9dd531c978c6f3fea06a2972653bd7fc8
(cpufreq: handle cpufreq being disabled for all exported function)
tightens the cpufreq API by returning errors when disable_cpufreq()
had been called.The problem we are hitting is that the module xen-acpi-processor which
uses the ACPI's functions: acpi_processor_register_performance,
acpi_processor_preregister_performance, and acpi_processor_notify_smm
fails at acpi_processor_register_performance with -22.Note that earlier during bootup in arch/x86/xen/setup.c there is also
an call to cpufreq's API: disable_cpufreq().This is b/c we want the Linux kernel to parse the ACPI data, but leave
the cpufreq decisions to the hypervisor.In v3.9 all the checks that d5aaffa9dd531c978c6f3fea06a2972653bd7fc8
added are now hit and the calls to cpufreq_register_notifier will now
fail. This means that acpi_processor_ppc_init ends up printing:"Warning: Processor Platform Limit not supported"
and the acpi_processor_ppc_status is not set.
The repercussions of that is that the call to
acpi_processor_register_performance fails right away at:if (!(acpi_processor_ppc_status & PPC_REGISTERED))
and we don't progress any further on parsing and extracting the _P*
objects.The only reason the Xen code called that function was b/c it was
exported and the only way to gather the P-states. But we can also
just make acpi_processor_get_performance_info be exported and not
use acpi_processor_register_performance. This patch does so.Acked-by: Rafael J. Wysocki

Introduce user space interface for manipulating hotplug profiles
associated with ACPI scan handlers.The interface consists of sysfs directories under
/sys/firmware/acpi/hotplug/, one for each hotplug profile, containing
an attribute allowing user space to manipulate the enabled field of
the corresponding profile. Namely, switching the enabled attribute
from '0' to '1' will cause the common hotplug notify handler to be
installed for all ACPI namespace objects representing devices matching
the scan handler associated with the given hotplug profile (and
analogously for the converse switch).Drivers willing to use the new user space interface should add their
ACPI scan handlers with the help of new funtion
acpi_scan_add_handler_with_hotplug().Signed-off-by: Rafael J. Wysocki
