2011-01-18ACPICA: Fix issues/fault with automatic "serialized" method supportLin Ming
History: This support changes a method to "serialized" on the fly if the method generates an AE_ALREADY_EXISTS error, indicating the possibility that it cannot handle reentrancy. This fix repairs a couple of issues seen in the field, especially on machines with many cores. 1) Delete method children only upon the exit of the last thread, so as to not delete objects out from under running threads. 2) Set the "serialized" bit for the method only upon the exit of the last thread, so as to not cause deadlock when running threads attempt to exit. 3) Cleanup the use of the AML "MethodFlags" and internal method flags so that there is no longer any confustion between the two.

2011-01-18ACPICA: Fix namespace race conditionDana Myers
Fixes a race condition between method execution and namespace walks that can possibly fault. Problem was apparently introduced in version 20100528 as a result of a performance optimization that reduces the number of namespace walks upon method exit by using the delete_namespace_subtree function instead of the delete_namespace_by_owner function used previously. Bug is in the delete_namespace_subtree function.

2010-07-06ACPICA: Optimization: Reduce the number of namespace walksAlexey Starikovskiy
On control method exit, only walk the namespace if the method is known to have created namespace objects outside of its local scope.

2010-07-06ACPICA: Performance enhancement for namespace search and accessAlexey Starikovskiy
This change enhances the performance of namespace searches and walks by adding a backpointer to the parent in each namespace node. On large namespaces, this change can improve overall ACPI performance by up to 9X. Adding a pointer to each namespace node increases the overall size of the internal namespace by about 5%, since each namespace entry usually consists of both a namespace node and an ACPI operand object.

2010-01-22ACPICA: Update all ACPICA copyrights and signons to 2010Bob Moore
Add 2010 copyright to all module headers and signons, including the Linux header. This affects virtually every file in the ACPICA core subsystem, iASL compiler, and all utilities.

2009-08-27ACPICA: Fix several acpi_attach_data problemsBob Moore
Handler was never invoked. Now invoked if/when host node is deleted. Data object was not automatically deleted when host node was deleted. Interface to handler had an unused parameter, removed it.
