83d0515bbb [CPUFREQ][4/8] acpi-cpufreq: Mark speedstep-centrino ACPI as deprecated
Mark ACPI hooks in speedstep-centrino as deprecated. Change the order in which
speedstep-centrino and acpi-cpufreq (when both are in kernel) will be
added. First driver to be tried is now acpi-cpufreq, followed by
speedstep-centrino.

Add a note in feature-removal-schedule to mark this deprecation.

dde9f7ba60 [CPUFREQ][3/8] acpi-cpufreq: Pull in MSR based transition support
Add in the support for Intel Enhanced Speedstep - MSR based transitions.
With this change, the ACPI based support in speedstep-centrino can be
deprecated and duplicate code in that driver can be marked for removal.
Much easier to maintain and support this way. This also reduces the
user misconfigurations and questions on which driver is to be used
under which CPUs to support Enhanced Speedstep.

fe27cb3588 [CPUFREQ][2/8] acpi: reorganize code to make MSR support addition easier
Some clean up and redsign of the driver. Mainly making it easier to add
support for multiple sub-mechanisms of changing frequency. Currently this
driver supports only ACPI SYSTEM_IO address space. With the changes
below it is easier to add support for other address spaces like Intel
Enhanced Speedstep which uses MSR (ACPI FIXED_FEATURE_HARDWARE) to do the
transitions.

519ce3ec76 [CPUFREQ][1/8] acpi-cpufreq: software coordination and handle all CPUs in the group
This patchset has refresh/rebase of a bunch of patches/bugfixes related to
acpi-cpufreq that were sent earlier on this list.

patch 1/8
 Patch that fixes a bug in swcoordination code in acpi-cpufreq

patch 2/8 through patch 7/8
 Grand unification of ACPI based speedstep-centrino and acpi-cpufreq drivers.

 ACPI allows P-state transitions in multiple ways. Like using IO ports or using
 processor native method (MSR). Without this patch, IO port based P-state
 transitions are handled in acpi-cpufreq driver and MSR based transitions on
 Intel CPUs are handled in speedstep-centrino driver. Even though most of the
 code in these two drivers should be similar, except for final changing/checking
 of frequency (one driver does it using IO port and other does it through
 MSR), we have duplicated code in these two drivers. There are also issues
 around BIOSes supporting both MSR and IO port and which driver should be
 loaded first in standard installations.

 The patchset combines functionality of these two driver into acpi-cpufreq
 driver. ACPI based functionality in speedstep-centrino is marked deprecated
 and will be removed in future. speedstep-centrino will continue to work
 on systems that depend on older non-ACPI table based P-state chanes.

 * 2/8 - Patch that reorganizes the code in acpi-cpufreq, cleaning it up
 a little and making it easier to add MSR support later.
 * 3/8 - Pull in the MSR based transition support into acpi-cpufreq.
 * 4/8 - Mark speedstep-centrino deprecated. Change the order in Makefile to
 load acpi-cpufreq first and speedstep-centrino later, in cases where both
 are configured in.
 * 5/8 - lindent acpi-cpufreq.c
 * 6/8 - Minor change to eliminate the check of current frequency on
 notifications. We can use last set frequency instead.
 * 7/8 - Make cpufreq->get of acpi_cpufreq work correctly again.

 There will be a patch in future that removes ACPI based support in
 speedstep-centrino in coming months.

patch 8/8
Add support for IA32_APERF and IA32_MPERF MSR and get the actual frequency
from these MSRs and use it to determine the next frequency target in ondemand
governor

This patch:
There is a bug in software coordination patch in acpi-cpufreq, due to which
frequency will only be set on first CPU of any coordinated group.
Bug identified by Denis, was not recognised earlier as there are no platforms
yet that use software coordination with acpi-cpufreq driver.

51018b0a31 [PATCH] make UML compile (FC6/x86-64)
I need this patch to get a UML kernel to compile.  This is with the
kernel headers in FC6 which are automatically generated from the kernel
tree.  Some headers are missing but those files don't need them.  At
least it appears so since the resuling kernel works fine.

Tested on x86-64.

a7a0d86f5a [PATCH] Fix core files so they make sense to gdb...
It is silly to use non-static variable for writting zeroes to the file.

And more seriously, foffset in core dump file dump function was incremented
too much, so some parts of core dump were shifted by size of few phdrs and
notes down, so although gdb was able to load that file, it did not make lot
of sense - in my test case data pages were shifted down by about 900 bytes.

281ea49b0c ACPI: SCI interrupt source override
The Linux group at Stratus Technologies has come across an issue with SCI
routing under ACPI.  We were bitten by this when we made an x86_64 platform
whose BIOS provides an Interrupt Source Override for the SCI itself.
Apparently the override has no effect for the System Control Interrupt, and
this appears to be because of the way the SCI is setup in the ACPI code.
It does not handle the case where busirq != gsi.

The code that sets up the SCI routing assumes that bus irq == global irq.
So there is simply no provision for telling it otherwise.  The attached
patch provides this mechanism.

This patch provided by David Bulkow, was tested on an i386 platform, which
does not use the SCI override, and also on an x86_64 platform which does
use an override.

d7a76e4cb3 ACPI: consolidate functions in acpi ec driver
Unify the following functions:

    acpi_ec_poll_read()
    acpi_ec_poll_write()
    acpi_ec_poll_query()
    acpi_ec_intr_read()
    acpi_ec_intr_write()
    acpi_ec_intr_query()

into:

    acpi_ec_poll_transaction()
    acpi_ec_intr_transaction()

These new functions take as arguments an ACPI EC command, a few bytes
to write to the EC data register and a buffer for a few bytes to read
from the EC data register. The old _read(), _write(), _query() are
just special cases of these functions.

Then unified the code in acpi_ec_poll_transaction() and
acpi_ec_intr_transaction() a little more. Both functions are now just
wrappers around the new acpi_ec_transaction_unlocked() function. The
latter contains the EC access logic, the two original
function now just do their special way of locking and call the the
new function for the actual work.

This saves a lot of very similar code. The primary reason for doing
this, however, is that my driver for MSI 270 laptops needs to issue
some non-standard EC commands in a safe way. Due to this I added a new
exported function similar to ec_write()/ec_write() which is called
ec_transaction() and is essentially just a wrapper around
acpi_ec_{poll,intr}_transaction().

991528d734 ACPI: Processor native C-states using MWAIT
Intel processors starting with the Core Duo support
support processor native C-state using the MWAIT instruction.
Refer: Intel Architecture Software Developer's Manual
http://www.intel.com/design/Pentium4/manuals/253668.htm

Platform firmware exports the support for Native C-state to OS using
ACPI _PDC and _CST methods.
Refer: Intel Processor Vendor-Specific ACPI: Interface Specification
http://www.intel.com/technology/iapc/acpi/downloads/302223.htm

With Processor Native C-state, we use 'MWAIT' instruction on the processor
to enter different C-states (C1, C2, C3).  We won't use the special IO
ports to enter C-state and no SMM mode etc required to enter C-state.
Overall this will mean better C-state support.

One major advantage of using MWAIT for all C-states is, with this and
"treat interrupt as break event" feature of MWAIT, we can now get accurate
timing for the time spent in C1, C2, ..  states.
