2008-04-29ACPI: thinkpad-acpi: claim tpacpi as an official short handle (v1.1)Henrique de Moraes Holschuh
Unfortunately, a lot of stuff in the kernel has size limitations, so "thinkpad-acpi" ends up eating up too much real estate. We were using "tpacpi" in symbols already, but this shorthand was not visible to userland. Document that the driver will use tpacpi as a short hand where necessary, and use it to name the kernel thread for NVRAM polling (now named "ktpacpi_nvramd"). Also, register a module alias with the shorthand. One can refer to the module using the shorthand name.

2008-04-29ACPI: thinkpad-acpi: fix brightness dimming control bugHenrique de Moraes Holschuh
ibm-acpi and thinkpad-acpi did not know about bit 5 of the EC backlight level control register (EC 0x31), so it was always forced to zero on any writes. This would disable the BIOS option to *not* use a dimmer backlight level scale while on battery, and who knows what else (there are two other control bits of unknown function). Bit 5 controls the "reduce backlight levels when on battery" optional functionality (active low). Bits 6 and 7 are better left alone as well, instead of being forced to zero.

2008-04-29ACPI: thinkpad-acpi: rate-limit CMOS/EC unsynced error messagesHenrique de Moraes Holschuh
If userspace applications mess with the CMOS NVRAM, or something causes both the ACPI firmware and thinkpad-acpi to try to change the brightness at the same time, it is possible to have the CMOS and EC registers for the current brightness go out of sync. Should that happen, thinkpad-acpi could be really obnoxious when using a brightness_mode of 3 (both EC and CMOS). Instead of complaining a massive number of times, make sure to complain only once until EC and CMOS are back in sync.

2008-04-29ACPI: thinkpad-acpi: warn once about weird hotkey masksHenrique de Moraes Holschuh
thinkpad-acpi knows for a while now how to best program the hotkeys by default, and always enable them by default. Unfortunately, this information has not filtered down everywhere it needs to, yet. Notably, old ibm-acpi documentation and most "thinkpad setup guides" will have wrong information on this area. Warn the local admin once whenever any of the following patterns are met: 1. Attempts to set hotkey mask to 0xffff (artifact from docs and config for the old ibm-acpi driver and behaviour). This mask makes no real-world sense; 2. Attempts to set hotkey mask to 0xffffffff, which means the user is trying to just have "everything work" without even reading the documentation, or that we need to get a bug report, because there is a new thinkpad out there with new exciting hot keys :-) 3. Attempts to set hotkey mask to 0xffffff, which is almost never the correct way to set up volume and brightness event reporting (and with the current state-of-the-art, it is known to never be right way to do it). The driver will perform any and all requested operations, though, regardless of any warnings. I hope these warnings can be removed one or two years from now.

2008-04-29ACPI: thinkpad-acpi: BIOS backlight mode helper (v2.1)Henrique de Moraes Holschuh
Lenovo ThinkPads with generic ACPI backlight level control can be easily set to react to keyboard brightness key presses in a more predictable way than what they do when in "DOS / bootloader" mode after Linux brings up the ACPI interface. The switch to the ACPI backlight mode in the firmware is designed to be safe to use only as an one way trapdoor. One is not to force the firmware to switch back to "DOS/bootloader" mode except by rebooting. The mode switch itself is performed by calling any of the ACPI _BCL methods at least once. When in ACPI mode, the backlight firmware just issues (standard) events for the brightness up/down hot key presses along with the non-standard HKEY events which thinkpad-acpi traps, and doesn't touch the hardware. thinkpad-acpi will: 1. Place the ThinkPad firmware in ACPI backlight control mode if one is available 2. Suppress HKEY backlight change notifications by default to avoid double-reporting when ACPI video is loaded when the ThinkPad is in ACPI backlight control mode 3. Urge the user to load the ACPI video driver The user is free to use either the ACPI video driver to get the brightness key events, or to override the thinkpad-acpi default hotkey mask to get them from thinkpad-acpi as well (this will result in duplicate events if ACPI video is loaded, so let's hope distros won't screw this up). Provided userspace is sane, all should work (and *keep* working), which is more that can be said about the non-ACPI mode of the new Lenovo ThinkPad BIOSes when coupled to current userspace and X.org drivers. Full guidelines for backlight hot key reporting and use of the thinkpad-acpi backlight interface have been added to the documentation.

2008-02-16ACPI: thinkpad-acpi: add tablet-mode reportingHenrique de Moraes Holschuh
A quick study of the 0x5009/0x500A HKEY event on the X61t DSDT revealed the existence of the EC HTAB register (EC 0x0f, bit 7), and a compare with the X41t DSDT shows that HKEY.MHKG can be used to verify if the ThinkPad is tablet-capable (MHKG present), and in tablet mode (bit 3 of MHKG return is set). Add an attribute to report this information, "hotkey_tablet_mode". This attribute has poll()/select() support, and can be used along with EV_SW SW_TABLET_MODE to hook userspace to tablet events.

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.

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.
