  • When the user passes the kernel parameter acpi_enforce_resources=lax,
    the ACPI resources are no longer protected, so a native driver can
    make use of them. In that case, we do not want the asus_atk0110 to be
    loaded. Unfortunately, this driver loads automatically due to its
    MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE, so the user ends up with two drivers loaded for
    the same device - this is bad.

    So I suggest that we prevent the asus_atk0110 driver from loading if
    acpi_enforce_resources=lax.

  • Annotate dynamic sysfs attribute in atk_create_files(). This gets

  • …it slab.h inclusion from percpu.h

    percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
    included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which
    in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
    universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.

    percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for
    this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
    headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion
    needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
    used as the basis of conversion.

    http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py

    The script does the followings.

    * Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
    only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used,
    gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.

    * When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
    blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
    to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains
    core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
    alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
    doesn't seem to be any matching order.

    * If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
    because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
    an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
    file.

    The conversion was done in the following steps.

    1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
    over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
    and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400
    files.

    2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion,
    some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
    embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added
    inclusions to around 150 files.

    3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
    from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.

    4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
    e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
    APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.

    5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
    editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
    files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h
    inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
    wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each
    slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
    necessary.

    6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.

    7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
    were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
    distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
    more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
    build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).

    * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
    * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
    * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
    * ia64 SMP allmodconfig
    * s390 SMP allmodconfig
    * alpha SMP allmodconfig
    * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig

    8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
    a separate patch and serve as bisection point.

    Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
    6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
    If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
    headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
    the specific arch.

  • Expose the raw GGRP/GITM interface via debugfs. The hwmon interface is
    reverse engineered and the driver tends to break on newer boards...
    Using this interface it's possible to poke directly at the ACPI methods
    without the need to recompile, reducing the guesswork and the round trips
    needed to support a new revision of the interface.

  • The behaviour is unmodified, this makes easier to override the heuristic (which
    is probably needed for some boards).

  • On newer ASUS boards (e.g. P7P55D) the EC (that - among other things - is
    responsible for updating the readings from the hwmon sensors) is disabled
    by default since ASUS detected conflict with some tools under Windows.
    The following patch checks the state of the EC and enable it if needed;
    under Linux, native drivers are locked out from ACPI owned resources so
    there's no risk of conflict.

  • Refactor the code of the new style interface around GGRP (enumeration) and
    GITM (read) helpers to mimic ASL code. Also switch the read path to use
    dynamic buffers (handled by ACPI core) since ASUS expanded the return buffer
    (ASBF) in newer boards (e.g. P7P55D).

  • Asus boards have an ACPI interface for interacting with the hwmon (fan,
    temperatures, voltages) subsystem; this driver exposes the relevant
    information via the standard sysfs interface.

    There are two different ACPI interfaces:
    - an old one (based on RVLT/RFAN/RTMP)
    - a new one (GGRP/GITM)
    Both may be present but there a few cases (my board, sigh) where the
    new interface is just an empty stub; the driver defaults to the old one
    when both are present.
    The old interface has received a considerable testing, but I'm still
    awaiting confirmation from my tester that the new one is working as
    expected (hence the debug code is still enabled).

    Currently all the attributes are read-only, though a (partial) control
    should be possible with a bit more work.
