2012-01-13module_param: make bool parameters really bool (drivers & misc)Rusty Russell
module_param(bool) used to counter-intuitively take an int. In fddd5201 (mid-2009) we allowed bool or int/unsigned int using a messy trick. It's time to remove the int/unsigned int option. For this version it'll simply give a warning, but it'll break next kernel version. Acked-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>

2011-07-13ACPI, APEI, GHES, Support disable GHES at boot timeHuang Ying
Some machine may have broken firmware so that GHES and firmware first mode should be disabled. This patch adds support to that.

2011-03-21ACPI, APEI, Add ERST record ID cacheHuang Ying
APEI ERST firmware interface and implementation has no multiple users in mind. For example, if there is four records in storage with ID: 1, 2, 3 and 4, if two ERST readers enumerate the records via GET_NEXT_RECORD_ID as follow, reader 1 reader 2 1 2 3 4 -1 -1 where -1 signals there is no more record ID. Reader 1 has no chance to check record 2 and 4, while reader 2 has no chance to check record 1 and 3. And any other GET_NEXT_RECORD_ID will return -1, that is, other readers will has no chance to check any record even they are not cleared by anyone. This makes raw GET_NEXT_RECORD_ID not suitable for used by multiple users. To solve the issue, an in-memory ERST record ID cache is designed and implemented. When enumerating record ID, the ID returned by GET_NEXT_RECORD_ID is added into cache in addition to be returned to caller. So other readers can check the cache to get all record ID available.

2011-01-14PCI/ACPI: Request _OSC control once for each root bridge (v3)Rafael J. Wysocki
Move the evaluation of acpi_pci_osc_control_set() (to request control of PCI Express native features) into acpi_pci_root_add() to avoid calling it many times for the same root complex with the same arguments. Additionally, check if all of the requisite _OSC support bits are set before calling acpi_pci_osc_control_set() for a given root complex.

2010-05-19ACPI, APEI, Error Record Serialization Table (ERST) supportHuang Ying
ERST is a way provided by APEI to save and retrieve hardware error record to and from some simple persistent storage (such as flash). The Linux kernel support implementation is quite simple and workable in NMI context. So it can be used to save hardware error record into flash in hardware error exception or NMI handler, where other more complex persistent storage such as disk is not usable. After saving hardware error records via ERST in hardware error exception or NMI handler, the error records can be retrieved and logged into disk or network after a clean reboot. For more information about ERST, please refer to ACPI Specification version 4.0, section 17.4. This patch incorporate fixes from Jin Dongming.

2010-05-19ACPI, APEI, HEST table parsingHuang Ying
HEST describes error sources in detail; communicating operational parameters (i.e. severity levels, masking bits, and threshold values) to OS as necessary. It also allows the platform to report error sources for which OS would typically not implement support (for example, chipset-specific error registers). HEST information may be needed by other subsystems. For example, HEST PCIE AER error source information describes whether a PCIE root port works in "firmware first" mode, this is needed by general PCIE AER error subsystem. So a public HEST tabling parsing interface is provided. Signed-off-by: Huang Ying <ying.huang@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen <ak@linux.intel.com> Signed-off-by: Len Brown <len.brown@intel.com>
