2008-02-01ACPI: thinkpad-acpi: bump up version to 0.19Henrique de Moraes Holschuh
The major code reorganization and cleanups, and new HKEY events, plus poll()/select() support are good reasons to checkpoint a new version... Signed-off-by: Henrique de Moraes Holschuh <hmh@hmh.eng.br> Signed-off-by: Len Brown <len.brown@intel.com>
2008-02-01ACPI: thinkpad-acpi: add poll() support to some sysfs attributesHenrique de Moraes Holschuh
Implement poll()/select() support through sysfs_notify() for some key attributes which userspace might want to poll() or select() on. In order to let userspace know poll()/select() support is available for an attribute, the thinkpad-acpi sysfs interface version is also bumped up. Further changes that add poll()/select() capabilities to any pre-existing attributes will also increment the sysfs interface version.

2008-02-01ACPI: thinkpad-acpi: wakeup on hotunplug reportingHenrique de Moraes Holschuh
Handle some HKEY events that the firmware uses to report the reason for a wake up, and to also notify that the system could go back to sleep (if it woke up just to eject something from the bay, or to undock). The driver will report the reason of the last wake up in the sysfs attribute "wakeup_reason": 0 for "none, unknown, or standard ACPI wake up event", 1 for "bay ejection request" and 2 for "undock request". The firmware will also report if the operation that triggered the wake up has been completed, by issuing an HKEY 0x3003 or 0x4003 event. If the operation fails, no event is sent. When such a hotunplug sucessfull notification is issued, the driver sets the attribute "wakeup_hotunplug_complete" to 1. While the firmware does tell us whether we are waking from a suspend or hibernation scenario, the Linux way of hibernating makes this information not reliable, and therefore it is not reported. The idea is that if any of these attributes are non-zero, userspace might want to do something at the end of the "wake up from sleep" procedures, such as offering to send the machine back into sleep as soon as it is safe to do so.

2008-02-01ACPI: thinkpad-acpi: add CMOS NVRAM polling for hot keys (v9)Henrique de Moraes Holschuh
Older ThinkPad models do not export some of the hot keys over the event-based ACPI hot key interface. For these models, one has to poll the CMOS NVRAM to check the key state at a rate faster than the expected rate at which the user might repeatedly press the same hot key. This patch implements this functionality for many of the hotkeys in a transparent way: hot keys will now Just Work, and the driver knows the best approach (events or NVRAM polling) to employ, based on the HKEY.MHKA ACPI method. Also, the driver can turn off the polling when there are no users for the hot keys that need such polling. The NVRAM-based hot keys of the A3x series that have never been implemented by later models are not supported, to avoid changes in the keymap of the input devices that could cause headaches in the future. There is a Kconfig option to avoid compiling the NVRAM polling code, as it is not very small, and unlikely to be useful on any ThinkPad newer than a T40, X31 or R52. This feature is based on a previous effort by Richard Hughes.

2007-11-05ACPI: thinkpad-acpi: prefer standard ACPI backlight level controlHenrique de Moraes Holschuh
Newer Lenovo BIOSes support the standard ACPI backlight brightness interface (_BCM, _BQC, _BCL). It should be used instead of the native thinkpad backlight brightness control interface when possible. This patch disables the native brightness support in the driver by default when we detect that the standard ACPI interface is available. The local admin can still enable it using the module parameter "brightness_enable". Note that we need to detect the standard ACPI backlight interface only in boxes for which we would load the native backlight interface in the first place, and that no ThinkPad BIOS has _BCL but misses the other methods, so the detection routines can be really simple.

2007-11-05ACPI: thinkpad-acpi: add brightness_force parameterHenrique de Moraes Holschuh
Add a "brightness_enable" module parameter that allows the local admin to force the backlight support to not be enabled. It can also be used to force the backlight support to be enabled, but that is currently a no-op as the backlight support is enabled by default when available.

2007-11-05ACPI: thinkpad-acpi: support 16 levels of brightness (v3)Henrique de Moraes Holschuh
Lenovo ThinkPads often have 16 brightness levels in EC, and not just eight levels like older ThinkPads. They also have standard ACPI backlight brightness control. We detect the number of brightness levels by the presence of a BCLL package with 16 entries. If BCLL is not there, we assume eight levels (Z6*). If it is there, but it doesn't have 16 entries, we assume eight levels (T60). Otherwise we assume sixteen levels (T61, X61, etc). We don't use _BCL because it can have side-effects in thinkpads. Thanks to Thomas Renninger <trenn@suse.de> for notifying me of this potential problem. Using the standard ACPI backlight brightness control *instead* of the native thinkpad backlight control is a better idea, though. A different patch will take care of this.

Use a separate platform device and driver ("thinkpad_hwmon") to attach hwmon attributes and class, and add a name attribute of "thinkpad" to it, which defines the hwmon device name for libsensors4. This makes thinkpad-acpi compatible with libsensors4 from lm-sensors, and the platform driver and device split will make it much easier to separate hwmon functionality into its own module later on.

2007-09-17ACPI: thinkpad-acpi: revert new 2.6.23 CONFIG_THINKPAD_ACPI_INPUT_ENABLED optionHenrique de Moraes Holschuh
Revert new 2.6.23 CONFIG_THINKPAD_ACPI_INPUT_ENABLED Kconfig option because it would create a legacy we don't want to support. CONFIG_THINKPAD_ACPI_INPUT_ENABLED was added to try to fix an issue that is now moot with the addition of the netlink ACPI event report interface to the ACPI core. Now that ACPI core can send events over netlink, we can use a different strategy to keep backwards compatibility with older userspace, without the need for the CONFIG_THINKPAD_ACPI_INPUT_ENABLED games. And it arrived before CONFIG_THINKPAD_ACPI_INPUT_ENABLED made it to a stable mainline kernel, even, which is Good. This patch is in sync with some changes to thinkpad-acpi backports, that will keep things sane for userspace across different combinations of kernel versions, thinkpad-acpi backports (or the lack thereof), and userspace capabilities: Unless a module parameter is used, thinkpad-acpi will now behave in such a way that it will work well (by default) with userspace that still uses only the old ACPI procfs event interface and doesn't care for thinkpad-acpi input devices. It will also always work well with userspace that has been updated to use both the thinkpad-acpi input devices, and ACPI core netlink event interface, regardless of any module parameter. The module parameter was added to allow thinkpad-acpi to work with userspace that has been partially updated to use thinkpad-acpi input devices, but not the new ACPI core netlink event interface. To use this mode of hot key reporting, one has to specify the hotkey_report_mode=2 module parameter. The thinkpad-acpi driver exports the value of hotkey_report_mode through sysfs, as well. thinkpad-acpi backports to older kernels, that do not support the new ACPI core netlink interface, have code to allow userspace to switch hotkey_report_mode at runtime through sysfs. This capability will not be provided in mainline thinkpad-acpi as it is not needed there. Signed-off-by: Henrique de Moraes Holschuh <hmh@hmh.eng.br> Cc: Michael S.

Lenovo ThinkPads have a slightly different key map layout from IBM ThinkPads (fn+f2 and fn+f3 are swapped). Knowing which one we are dealing with, we can properly set a few more hot keys up by default. Also, export the correct vendor in the input device, as that information might be useful to userspace.

2007-07-21ACPI: thinkpad-acpi: allow use of CMOS NVRAM for brightness controlHenrique de Moraes Holschuh
It appears that Lenovo decided to break the EC brightness control interface in a weird way in their latest BIOSes. Fortunately, the old CMOS NVRAM interface works just fine in such BIOSes. Add a module parameter that allows the user to select which strategy to use for brightness control: EC, NVRAM, or both. By default, do both (which is the way thinkpad-acpi used to work until now) on IBM ThinkPads, and use NVRAM only on Lenovo ThinkPads.

2007-07-21ACPI: thinkpad-acpi: add input device support to hotkey subdriverHenrique de Moraes Holschuh
Add input device support to the hotkey subdriver. Hot keys that have a valid keycode mapping are reported through the input layer if the input device is open. Otherwise, they will be reported as ACPI events, as they were before. Scan codes are reported (using EV_MSC MSC_SCAN events) along with EV_KEY KEY_UNKNOWN events. For backwards compatibility purposes, hot keys that used to be reported through ACPI events are not mapped to anything meaningful by default. Userspace is supposed to remap them if it wants to use the input device for hot key reporting. This patch is based on a patch by Richard Hughes <hughsient@gmail.com>.

The firmware knows how many hot keys it supports, so export this information in a sysfs attribute. And the driver knows which keys are always handled by the firmware in all known ThinkPad models too, so export this information as well in a sysfs attribute.

Revise ACPI HKEY functionality to better interface with the firmware, and enable up to 32 regular hotkeys, instead of just 16 of them. Ouch. This takes care of most keys one used to have to do CMOS NVRAM polling on, and should drop the need for tpb, thinkpad-keys, and other such 5Hz NVRAM polling power vampires on most modern ThinkPads ;-) And, just to add insult to injury, this was sort of working since forever through the procfs interface, but nobody noticed or tried an echo 0xffffffff > /proc/acpi/ibm/hotkey and told me it would generate weird events.

2007-05-31ACPI: thinkpad-acpi: do not use named sysfs groupsHenrique de Moraes Holschuh
The initial version of the thinkpad-acpi sysfs interface (not yet released in any stable mainline kernel) made liberal use of named sysfs groups, in order to get the attributes more organized. This proved to be a really bad design decision. Maybe if attribute groups were as flexible as a real directory, and if binary attributes were not second-class citizens, the idea of subdirs and named groups would not have been so bad. This patch makes all the thinkpad-acpi sysfs groups anonymous (thus removing the subdirs), adds the former group names as a prefix (so that hotkey/enable becomes hotkey_enable for example), and updates the documentation.

Len Brown considers that an active by default fan control interface in laptops may be too close to giving users enough rope. There is a good chance he is quite correct on this, especially if someone decides to use that interface in applets and users are not aware of its risks. This patch adds a master switch to thinkpad-acpi that enables or disables the entire fan-control feature as a module parameter: "fan_control". It defaults to disabled. Set it to non-zero to enable fan control. Also, the patch removes the expermiental status from fan control, since it is stable enough to not be called experimental, and the master switch makes it safe enough to do so.

Rename the ibm-acpi driver to thinkpad-acpi. ThinkPads are not even made by IBM anymore, so it is high time to rename the driver... The name thinkpad-acpi was used sometime ago by a thinkpad-specific hotkey driver by Erik Rigtorp, around the 2.6.8-2.6.10 time frame. The driver apparently never got merged into mainline (it did make some trips through -mm). ibm-acpi was merged soon after, making its debut in 2.6.10. The reuse of the thinkpad-acpi name shouldn't be a problem as far as user confusion goes, as Erik's thinkpad-acpi apparently didn't get widespread use in the Linux ThinkPad community and most hits for thinkpad-acpi in google point to ibm-acpi anyway. Erik, if you read this, please consider the reuse of the thinkpad-acpi name as a compliment to your effort to make ThinkPads more useful to all of us.
