  • There are cases where full date information is required instead of
    just the year. Add month and day parsing to dmi_get_year() and rename
    it to dmi_get_date().

    As the original function only required '/' followed by any number of
    parseable characters at the end of the string, keep that behavior to
    avoid upsetting existing users.

    The new function takes dates of format [mm[/dd]]/yy[yy]. Year, month
    and date are checked to be in the ranges of [1-9999], [1-12] and
    [1-31] respectively and any invalid or out-of-range component is
    returned as zero.

    The dummy implementation is updated accordingly but the return value
    is updated to indicate field not found which is consistent with how
    other dummy functions behave.

  • Linux claims Vista compatibility to the BIOS for a number of
    reasons, but this brings hard lockup on some Sony laptops.

    Disable Vista compatibility via DMI for these laptops unless
    we can figure out what Vista is doing for this platform.

  • move some OSI(Linux) to "disable" from "unknown"

  • This DMI blacklist reduces the console messages
    on systems which have a BIOS that invokes OSI(Linux).

    As the DMI blacklist already knows about these systems,
    the request for DMI info itself is disabled.

    Further, if OSI(Linux) has already been determined
    to have no beneift, we disable the console message
    requesting acpi_osi=Linux test results.

  • acpi_osi=Linux helps sound on these systems.

  • If BIOS invokes _OSI(Linux), the kernel response
    depends on what the ACPI DMI list knows about the system,
    and that is reflectd in dmesg:

    1) System unknown to DMI:

    ACPI: BIOS _OSI(Linux) query ignored
    ACPI: DMI System Vendor: LENOVO
    ACPI: DMI Product Name: 7661W1P
    ACPI: DMI Product Version: ThinkPad T61
    ACPI: DMI Board Name: 7661W1P
    ACPI: DMI BIOS Vendor: LENOVO
    ACPI: DMI BIOS Date: 10/18/2007
    ACPI: Please send DMI info above to linux-acpi@vger.kernel.org
    ACPI: If "acpi_osi=Linux" works better, please notify linux-acpi@vger.kernel.org

    2) System known to DMI, but effect of OSI(Linux) unknown:

    ACPI: DMI detected: Lenovo ThinkPad T61
    ...
    ACPI: BIOS _OSI(Linux) query ignored via DMI
    ACPI: If "acpi_osi=Linux" works better, please notify linux-acpi@vger.kernel.org

    3) System known to DMI, which disables _OSI(Linux):

    ACPI: DMI detected: Lenovo ThinkPad T61
    ...
    ACPI: BIOS _OSI(Linux) query ignored via DMI

    4) System known to DMI, which enable _OSI(Linux):

    ACPI: DMI detected: Lenovo ThinkPad T61
    ACPI: Added _OSI(Linux)
    ...
    ACPI: BIOS _OSI(Linux) query honored via DMI

    cmdline overrides take precidence over the built-in
    default and the DMI prescribed default.
    cmdline "acpi_osi=Linux" results in:

    ACPI: BIOS _OSI(Linux) query honored via cmdline

  • IMHO, ACPI disabled due to DMI failure or blacklisted year should be noted,
    as is done with other ACPI blacklisting.

    This will help people troubleshoot when ACPI isn't working. Status quo is
    a mysterious "ACPI Disabled" message without explanation on BIOS that
    implements ACPI but not DMI. This is actually fairly common on embedded
    x86 boards.

  • - Move the core parser into dmi_scan.c. It can be useful for other
    subsystems too.
    - Differentiate between field doesn't exist and field is 0 or
    unparseable. The first case is likely an old BIOS with broken ACPI,
    the later is likely a slightly buggy BIOS where someone forget to
    edit the date. Don't blacklist in the later case.

  • 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!
