APEI is currently implemented so that it depends on x86 hardware.
The primary dependency is that GHES uses the x86 NMI for hardware
error notification and MCE for memory error handling. These patches
remove that dependency.
Other APEI features such as error reporting via external IRQ, error
serialization, or error injection, do not require changes to use them
on non-x86 architectures.
The following patch set eliminates the APEI Kconfig x86 dependency
by making these changes:
- treat NMI notification as GHES architecture - HAVE_ACPI_APEI_NMI
- group and wrap around #ifdef CONFIG_HAVE_ACPI_APEI_NMI code which
is used only for NMI path
- identify architectural boxes and abstract it accordingly (tlb flush and MCE)
- rework ioremap for both IRQ and NMI context
NMI code is kept in ghes.c file since NMI and IRQ context are tightly coupled.
Note, these patches introduce no functional changes for x86. The NMI notification
feature is hard selected for x86. Architectures that want to use this
feature should also provide NMI code infrastructure.
|
|
GHES currently maps two pages with atomic_ioremap. From now
on, NMI is architectural depended so there is no need to allocate
an NMI page for platforms without NMI support.
To make it possible to not use a second page, swap the existing
page order so that the IRQ context page is first, and the optional
NMI context page is second. Then, use HAVE_ACPI_APEI_NMI to decide
how many pages are to be allocated.

Currently APEI depends on x86 architecture. It is because of NMI hardware
error notification of GHES which is currently supported by x86 only.
However, many other APEI features can be still used perfectly by other
architectures.
This commit adds two symbols:
1. HAVE_ACPI_APEI for those archs which support APEI.
2. HAVE_ACPI_APEI_NMI which is used for NMI code isolation in ghes.c
file. NMI related data and functions are grouped so they can be wrapped
inside one #ifdef section. Appropriate function stubs are provided for
!NMI case.
Note there is no functional changes for x86 due to hard selected
HAVE_ACPI_APEI and HAVE_ACPI_APEI_NMI symbols.

This commit abstracts MCE calls and provides weak corresponding default
implementation for those architectures which do not need arch specific
actions. Each platform willing to do additional architectural actions
should provides desired function definition. It allows us to avoid wrap
code into #ifdef in generic code and prevent new platform from introducing
dummy stub function too.
Initially, there are two APEI arch-specific calls:
- arch_apei_enable_cmcff()
- arch_apei_report_mem_error()
Both interact with MCE driver for X86 architecture.

The soc_button_array PNP driver was introduced in 3.15.
But in commit eec15edbb0e1 (ACPI / PNP: use device ID list for
PNPACPI device enumeration), when reworking the PNPACPI device
enumeration, we missed the soc_button_array device ID.
This results in a regression in 3.16-rc1 that soc_button_array
pnp device fails to be enumerated.
Fix the problem by adding soc_button_array device ID into the
acpi_pnp scan handler's ID list.

AC plug/unplug either.

It seems that some batteries (noticed on DELL JYPJ136) assume
capacity_now = design_capacity when fully charged. This causes
reported capacity to suddenly jump to >full_charge_capacity (and that
means capacity reported to userspace is >100% and incorrect)
values after 99%. This patch detects capacity_now > full_charge_capacity,
notifies userspace (unless it is the known bug where capacity_now ==
design_capacity) and trims the value to full_charge_capacity.

There is a race condition in ec_transaction_completed().
When ec_transaction_completed() is called in the GPE handler, it could
return true because of (ec->curr == NULL). Then the wake_up() invocation
could complete the next command unexpectedly since there is no lock between
the 2 invocations. With the previous cleanup, the IBF=0 waiter race need
not be handled any more. It's now safe to return a flag from
advance_condition() to indicate the requirement of wakeup, the flag is
returned from a locked context.
The ec_transaction_completed() is now only invoked by the ec_poll() where
the ec->curr is ensured to be different from NULL.
After cleaning up, the EVT_SCI=1 check should be moved out of the wakeup
condition so that an EVT_SCI raised with (ec->curr == NULL) can trigger a
QR_SC command.

After we've added the first command byte write into advance_transaction(),
the IBF=0 waiter is duplicated with the command completion waiter
implemented in the ec_poll() because:
If IBF=1 blocked the first command byte write invoked in the task
context ec_poll(), it would be kicked off upon IBF=0 interrupt or timed
out and retried again in the task context.
Remove this seperate and duplicate IBF=0 waiter. By doing so we can
reduce the overall number of times to access the EC_SC(R) status
register.

Move the first command byte write into advance_transaction() so that all
EC register accesses that can affect the command processing state machine
can happen in this asynchronous state machine advancement function.
The advance_transaction() function then can be a complete implementation
of an asyncrhonous transaction for a single command so that:
1. The first command byte can be written in the interrupt context;
2. The command completion waiter can also be used to wait the first command
byte's timeout;
3. In BURST mode, the follow-up command bytes can be written in the
interrupt context directly, so that it doesn't need to return to the
task context. Returning to the task context reduces the throughput of
the BURST mode and in the worst cases where the system workload is very
high, this leads to the hardware driven automatic BURST mode exit.
In order not to increase memory consumption, convert 'done' into 'flags'
to contain multiple indications:
1. ACPI_EC_COMMAND_COMPLETE: converting from original 'done' condition,
indicating the completion of the command transaction.
2. ACPI_EC_COMMAND_POLL: indicating the availability of writing the first
command byte. A new command can utilize this flag to compete for the
right of accessing the underlying hardware. There is a follow-up bug
fix that has utilized this new flag.
The 2 flags are important because it also reflects a key concept of IO
programs' design used in the system softwares. Normally an IO program
running in the kernel should first be implemented in the asynchronous way.
And the 2 flags are the most common way to implement its synchronous
operations on top of the asynchronous operations:
1. POLL: This flag can be used to block until the asynchronous operations
can happen.
2. COMPLETE: This flag can be used to block until the asynchronous
operations have completed.
By constructing code cleanly in this way, many difficult problems can be
solved smoothly.

The advance_transaction() will be invoked from the IRQ context GPE handler
and the task context ec_poll(). The handling of this function is locked so
that the EC state machine are ensured to be advanced sequentially.
But there is a problem. Before invoking advance_transaction(), EC_SC(R) is
read. Then for advance_transaction(), there could be race condition around
the lock from both contexts. The first one reading the register could fail
this race and when it passes the stale register value to the state machine
advancement code, the hardware condition is totally different from when
the register is read. And the hardware accesses determined from the wrong
hardware status can break the EC state machine. And there could be cases
that the functionalities of the platform firmware are seriously affected.
For example:
1. When 2 EC_DATA(W) writes compete the IBF=0, the 2nd EC_DATA(W) write may
be invalid due to IBF=1 after the 1st EC_DATA(W) write. Then the
hardware will either refuse to respond a next EC_SC(W) write of the next
command or discard the current WR_EC command when it receives a EC_SC(W)
write of the next command.
2. When 1 EC_SC(W) write and 1 EC_DATA(W) write compete the IBF=0, the
EC_DATA(W) write may be invalid due to IBF=1 after the EC_SC(W) write.
The next EC_DATA(R) could never be responded by the hardware. This is
the root cause of the reported issue.
Fix this issue by moving the EC_SC(R) access into the lock so that we can
ensure that the state machine is advanced consistently.

Adds trace events that give finer resolution into suspend/resume. These
events are graphed in the timelines generated by the analyze_suspend.py
script. They represent large areas of time consumed that are typical to
suspend and resume.
The event is triggered by calling the function "trace_suspend_resume"
with three arguments: a string (the name of the event to be displayed
in the timeline), an integer (case specific number, such as the power
state or cpu number), and a boolean (where true is used to denote the start
of the timeline event, and false to denote the end).
The suspend_resume trace event reproduces the data that the machine_suspend
trace event did, so the latter has been removed.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rafael/linux-pm into next
Pull ACPI and power management updates from Rafael Wysocki:
"ACPICA is the leader this time (63 commits), followed by cpufreq (28
commits), devfreq (15 commits), system suspend/hibernation (12
commits), ACPI video and ACPI device enumeration (10 commits each).
We have no major new features this time, but there are a few
significant changes of how things work. The most visible one will
probably be that we are now going to create platform devices rather
than PNP devices by default for ACPI device objects with _HID. That
was long overdue and will be really necessary to be able to use the
same drivers for the same hardware blocks on ACPI and DT-based systems
going forward. We're not expecting fallout from this one (as usual),
but it's something to watch nevertheless.
The second change having a chance to be visible is that ACPI video
will now default to using native backlight rather than the ACPI
backlight interface which should generally help systems with broken
Win8 BIOSes. We're hoping that all problems with the native backlight
handling that we had previously have been addressed and we are in a
good enough shape to flip the default, but this change should be easy
enough to revert if need be.
In addition to that, the system suspend core has a new mechanism to
allow runtime-suspended devices to stay suspended throughout system
suspend/resume transitions if some extra conditions are met
(generally, they are related to coordination within device hierarchy).
However, enabling this feature requires cooperation from the bus type
layer and for now it has only been implemented for the ACPI PM domain
(used by ACPI-enumerated platform devices mostly today).
Also, the acpidump utility that was previously shipped as a separate
tool will now be provided by the upstream ACPICA along with the rest
of ACPICA code, which will allow it to be more up to date and better
supported, and we have one new cpuidle driver (ARM clps711x).
The rest is improvements related to certain specific use cases,
cleanups and fixes all over the place.
Specifics:
- ACPICA update to upstream version 20140424. That includes a number
of fixes and improvements related to things like GPE handling,
table loading, headers, memory mapping and unmapping, DSDT/SSDT
overriding, and the Unload() operator. The acpidump utility from
upstream ACPICA is included too. From Bob Moore, Lv Zheng, David
Box, David Binderman, and Colin Ian King.
- Fixes and cleanups related to ACPI video and backlight interfaces
from Hans de Goede. That includes blacklist entries for some new
machines and using native backlight by default.
- ACPI device enumeration changes to create platform devices rather
than PNP devices for ACPI device objects with _HID by default. PNP
devices will still be created for the ACPI device object with
device IDs corresponding to real PNP devices, so that change should
not break things left and right, and we're expecting to see more
and more ACPI-enumerated platform devices in the future. From
Zhang Rui and Rafael J Wysocki.
- Updates for the ACPI LPSS (Low-Power Subsystem) driver allowing it
to handle system suspend/resume on Asus T100 correctly. From
Heikki Krogerus and Rafael J Wysocki.
- PM core update introducing a mechanism to allow runtime-suspended
devices to stay suspended over system suspend/resume transitions if
certain additional conditions related to coordination within device
hierarchy are met. Related PM documentation update and ACPI PM
domain support for the new feature. From Rafael J Wysocki.
- Fixes and improvements related to the "freeze" sleep state. They
affect several places including cpuidle, PM core, ACPI core, and
the ACPI battery driver. From Rafael J Wysocki and Zhang Rui.
- Miscellaneous fixes and updates of the ACPI core from Aaron Lu,
Bjørn Mork, Hanjun Guo, Lan Tianyu, and Rafael J Wysocki.
- Fixes and cleanups for the ACPI processor and ACPI PAD (Processor
Aggregator Device) drivers from Baoquan He, Manuel Schölling, Tony
Camuso, and Toshi Kani.
- System suspend/resume optimization in the ACPI battery driver from
Lan Tianyu.
- OPP (Operating Performance Points) subsystem updates from Chander
Kashyap, Mark Brown, and Nishanth Menon.
- cpufreq core fixes, updates and cleanups from Srivatsa S Bhat,
Stratos Karafotis, and Viresh Kumar.
- Updates, fixes and cleanups for the Tegra, powernow-k8, imx6q,
s5pv210, nforce2, and powernv cpufreq drivers from Brian Norris,
Jingoo Han, Paul Bolle, Philipp Zabel, Stratos Karafotis, and
Viresh Kumar.
- intel_pstate driver fixes and cleanups from Dirk Brandewie, Doug
Smythies, and Stratos Karafotis.
- Enabling the big.LITTLE cpufreq driver on arm64 from Mark Brown.
- Fix for the cpuidle menu governor from Chander Kashyap.
- New ARM clps711x cpuidle driver from Alexander Shiyan.
- Hibernate core fixes and cleanups from Chen Gang, Dan Carpenter,
Fabian Frederick, Pali Rohár, and Sebastian Capella.
- Intel RAPL (Running Average Power Limit) driver updates from Jacob
Pan.
- PNP subsystem updates from Bjorn Helgaas and Fabian Frederick.
- devfreq core updates from Chanwoo Choi and Paul Bolle.
- devfreq updates for exynos4 and exynos5 from Chanwoo Choi and
Bartlomiej Zolnierkiewicz.
- turbostat tool fix from Jean Delvare.
- cpupower tool updates from Prarit Bhargava, Ramkumar Ramachandra
and Thomas Renninger.
- New ACPI ec_access.c tool for poking at the EC in a safe way from
