  • Add a new sysfs entry under cpuidle states. desc - can be used by driver to
    communicate to userspace any specific information about the state.
    This helps in identifying the exact hardware C-states behind the ACPI C-state
    definition.

    Idea is to export this through powertop, which will help to map the C-state
    reported by powertop to actual hardware C-state.

  • The raw_pci_read() interface (as the raw_pci_ops->read() before it)
    unconditionally fills in a 32-bit integer return value regardless of the
    size of the operation requested.

    So claiming to take a "void *" is wrong, as is passing in a pointer to
    just a byte variable.

    Noticed by pageexec when enabling -fstack-protector (which needs other
    patches too to actually work, but that's a separate issue).

  • Small ACPICA extension to be able to store the name of operation regions in osl.c later

    In ACPI, AML can define accesses to IO ports and System Memory by Operation
    Regions. Those are not registered as done by PNPACPI using resource templates
    (and _CRS/_SRS methods).

    The IO ports and System Memory regions may get accessed by arbitrary AML code.
    When native drivers are accessing the same resources bad things can happen
    (e.g. a critical shutdown temperature of 3000 C every 2 months or so).

    It is not really possible to register the operation regions via
    request_resource, as they often overlap with pnp or other resources (e.g.
    statically setup IO resources below 0x100).

    This approach stores all Operation Region declarations (IO and System Memory
    only) at ACPI table parse time. It offers a similar functionality like
    request_region and let drivers which are known to possibly use the same IO
    ports and Memory which are also often used by ACPI (hwmon and i2c) check for
    ACPI interference.

    A boot parameter acpi_enforce_resources=strict/lax/no is provided, which
    is default set to lax:
    - strict: let conflicting drivers fail to load with an error message
    - lax: let conflicting driver work normal with a warning message
    - no: no functional change at all
    Depending on the feedback and the kind of interferences we see, this
    should be set to strict at later time.

    Goal of this patch set is:
    - Identify ACPI interferences in bug reports (very hard to reproduce
    and to identify)
    - Find BIOSes for that an ACPI driver should exist for specific HW
    instead of a native one.
    - stability in general

    Provide acpi_check_{mem_}region.

    Drivers can additionally check against possible ACPI interference by also
    invoking this shortly before they call request_region.
    If -EBUSY is returned, the driver must not load.
    Use acpi_enforce_resources=strict/lax/no options to:
    - strict: let conflicting drivers fail to load with an error message
    - lax: let conflicting driver work normal with a warning message
    - no: no functional change at all

  • Accordint to ACPI spec, the _TSD object provides T-state control cross
    logical processor dependency information to OSPM.
    After the _TSD data for all cpus are obtained, OSPM will set up
    the T-state coordination between CPUs.

    Of course if the _TSD doesn't exist or _TSD data is incorrect , it is
    assumed that there is no T-state coordination and T-state is changed
    independently.

    Now there is no proper solution to update T-state coordination after
    one cpu is hotplugged. So this patch won't support hotplugged cpu very well.

  • Register ACPI processor as thermal cooling devices.
    A combination of processor T-state and P-state are used for thermal throttling.
    the processor will reduce the frequency first and then set the T-state.

    we use cpufreq_thermal_reduction_pctg to calculate the cpufreq limit,
    and call cpufreq_verify_with_limit to set the cpufreq limit.
    if cpufreq driver is loaded, then we have four cooling state for cpufreq control.
    cooling state 0: cpufreq limit == max_freq
    cooling state 1: cpufreq limit == max_freq * 80%
    cooling state 2: cpufreq limit == max_freq * 60%
    cooling state 3: cpufreq limit == max_freq * 40%

    after the cpufreq limit is set to 40 percentage of the max_freq,
    we use T-state for cooling.

    eg. a processor has P-state support, and it has 8 T-state (T0-T7),
    the max_state of the proceesor is 10:

    state cpufreq-limit T-state
    0: max_freq T0
    1: max_freq * 80% T0
    2: max_freq * 60% T0
    3: max_freq * 40% T0
    4: max_freq * 40% T1
    5: max_freq * 40% T2
    6: max_freq * 40% T3
    7: max_freq * 40% T4

  • The execution of ACPI global control methods _GTS and _BFS is
    currently tied to the preparation to enter a sleep state and to the
    leaving of the sleep state, respectively. However, these functions
    are called before disabling the nonboot CPUs and after enabling
    them, respectively (in fact, on ACPI 1.0x systems the first of them
    ought to be called before suspending devices), while according to the
    ACPI specification, _GTS is to be executed right prior to entering
    the system sleep state and _BFS is to be executed right after the
    platfor firmware has returned control to the OS on wake up.

    Move the execution of _GTS and _BFS to the right places.

  • This patch supports the upcomming Intel IOMMU hardware a.k.a. Intel(R)
    Virtualization Technology for Directed I/O Architecture and the hardware spec
    for the same can be found here
    http://www.intel.com/technology/virtualization/index.htm

    FAQ! (questions from akpm, answers from ak)

    > So... what's all this code for?
    >
    > I assume that the intent here is to speed things up under Xen, etc?

    Yes in some cases, but not this code. That would be the Xen version of this
    code that could potentially assign whole devices to guests. I expect this to
    be only useful in some special cases though because most hardware is not
    virtualizable and you typically want an own instance for each guest.

    Ok at some point KVM might implement this too; i likely would use this code
    for this.

    > Do we
    > have any benchmark results to help us to decide whether a merge would be
    > justified?

    The main advantage for doing it in the normal kernel is not performance, but
    more safety. Broken devices won't be able to corrupt memory by doing random
    DMA.

    Unfortunately that doesn't work for graphics yet, for that need user space
    interfaces for the X server are needed.

    There are some potential performance benefits too:

    - When you have a device that cannot address the complete address range an
    IOMMU can remap its memory instead of bounce buffering. Remapping is likely
    cheaper than copying.

    - The IOMMU can merge sg lists into a single virtual block. This could
    potentially speed up SG IO when the device is slow walking SG lists. [I
    long ago benchmarked 5% on some block benchmark with an old MPT Fusion; but
    it probably depends a lot on the HBA]

    And you get better driver debugging because unexpected memory accesses from
    the devices will cause a trappable event.

    >
    > Does it slow anything down?

    It adds more overhead to each IO so yes.

    This patch:

    Add support for early detection and parsing of DMAR's (DMA Remapping) reported
    to OS via ACPI tables.

    DMA remapping(DMAR) devices support enables independent address translations
    for Direct Memory Access(DMA) from Devices. These DMA remapping devices are
    reported via ACPI tables and includes pci device scope covered by these DMA
    remapping device.

  • ACPI uses acpi_get_register() in order to get into suspend.
    This function is guarded by acpi_gbl_hardware_lock, which will be carried
    into resume phase.
    At resume interrupts are enabled and first ACPI interrupt deadlocks on this
    lock.
    Solution seems to be to not lock register read, as there are no concurrent
    activity at this point.

    CPUIDLE: handle BM detection inside the ACPI Processor driver

    Update the ACPI processor driver to detect BM activity and
    limit state entry depth internally, rather than exposing such
    requirements to CPUIDLE. As a result, CPUIDLE can drop this
    ACPI-specific interface and become more platform independent. BM
    activity is now handled much more aggressively than it was in the
    original implementation, so some testing coverage may be needed to
    verify that this doesn't introduce any DMA buffer under-run issues.

    cpuidle: re-write

    Some portions have been rewritten to make the code cleaner and lighter
    weight. The following is a list of changes:

    1.) the state name is now included in the sysfs interface
    2.) detection, hotplug, and available state modifications are handled by
    CPUIDLE drivers directly
    3.) the CPUIDLE idle handler is only ever installed when at least one
    cpuidle_device is enabled and ready
    4.) the menu governor BM code no longer overflows
    5.) the sysfs attributes are now printed as unsigned integers, avoiding
    negative values
    6.) a variety of other small cleanups

    Also, Idle drivers are no longer swappable during runtime through the
    CPUIDLE sysfs inteface. On i386 and x86_64 most idle handlers (e.g.
    poll, mwait, halt, etc.) don't benefit from an infrastructure that
    supports multiple states, so I think using a more general case idle
    handler selection mechanism would be cleaner.

    cpuidle: add the 'menu' governor

    Here is my first take at implementing an idle PM governor that takes
    full advantage of NO_HZ. I call it the 'menu' governor because it
    considers the full list of idle states before each entry.

    I've kept the implementation fairly simple. It attempts to guess the
    next residency time and then chooses a state that would meet at least
    the break-even point between power savings and entry cost. To this end,
    it selects the deepest idle state that satisfies the following
    constraints:
    1. If the idle time elapsed since bus master activity was detected
    is below a threshold (currently 20 ms), then limit the selection
    to C2-type or above.
    2. Do not choose a state with a break-even residency that exceeds
    the expected time remaining until the next timer interrupt.
    3. Do not choose a state with a break-even residency that exceeds
    the elapsed time between the last pair of break events,
    excluding timer interrupts.

    This governor has an advantage over "ladder" governor because it
    proactively checks how much time remains until the next timer interrupt
    using the tick infrastructure. Also, it handles device interrupt
    activity more intelligently by not including timer interrupts in break
    event calculations. Finally, it doesn't make policy decisions using the
    number of state entries, which can have variable residency times (NO_HZ
    makes these potentially very large), and instead only considers sleep
    time deltas.

    The menu governor can be selected during runtime using the cpuidle sysfs
    interface like so:
    "echo "menu" > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuidle/current_governor"

    x86-64 expects all idle handlers to enable interrupts before returning from
    idle handler. This is due to enter_idle(), exit_idle() races. Make
    cpuidle_idle_call() confirm to this when there is no pm_idle_old.

    Also, cpuidle look at the return values of attch_driver() and set
    current_driver to NULL if attach fails on all CPUs.

    cpuidle take2: Core cpuidle infrastructure

    Announcing 'cpuidle', a new CPU power management infrastructure to manage
    idle CPUs in a clean and efficient manner.
    cpuidle separates out the drivers that can provide support for multiple types
    of idle states and policy governors that decide on what idle state to use
    at run time.
    A cpuidle driver can support multiple idle states based on parameters like
    varying power consumption, wakeup latency, etc (ACPI C-states for example).
    A cpuidle governor can be usage model specific (laptop, server,
    laptop on battery etc).
    Main advantage of the infrastructure being, it allows independent development
    of drivers and governors and allows for better CPU power management.

    A huge thanks to Adam Belay and Shaohua Li who were part of this mini-project
    since its beginning and are greatly responsible for this patchset.

    This patch:

    Core cpuidle infrastructure.
    Introduces a new abstraction layer for cpuidle:
    * which manages drivers that can support multiple idles states. Drivers
    can be generic or particular to specific hardware/platform
    * allows pluging in multiple policy governors that can take idle state policy
    decision
    * The core also has a set of sysfs interfaces with which administrato can know
    about supported drivers and governors and switch them at run time.

  • S4 suspend to disk will disable GPE's permanently

    became unavailable for wakeup from subsequent
    S3 suspend-to-ram.

    Here acpi_gpe_sleep_prepare() is removed, and upon suspend
    acpi_enable_wakeup_device() gets its functionality.
    Upon resume, acpi_disable_wakeup_device() restores the state.

  • device_suspend() calls ACPI suspend functions, which seems to have undesired
    side effects on lower idle C-states. It took me some time to realize that
    especially the VAIO BIOSes (both Andrews jinxed UP and my elfstruck SMP one)
    show this effect. I'm quite sure that other bug reports against suspend/resume
    about turning the system into a brick have the same root cause.

    After fishing in the dark for quite some time, I realized that removing the ACPI
    processor module before suspend (this removes the lower C-state functionality)
    made the problem disappear. Interestingly enough the propability of having a
    bricked box is influenced by various factors (interrupts, size of the ram image,
    ...). Even adding a bunch of printks in the wrong places made the problem go
    away. The previous periodic tick implementation simply pampered over the
    problem, which explains why the dyntick / clockevents changes made this more
    prominent.

    We avoid complex functionality during the boot process and we have to do the
    same during suspend/resume. It is a similar scenario and equaly fragile.

    Add suspend / resume functions to the ACPI processor code and disable the lower
    idle C-states across suspend/resume. Fall back to the default idle
    implementation (halt) instead.
