2fdf66b491 cpumask: convert shared_cpu_map in acpi_processor* structs to cpumask_var_t
Impact: Reduce memory usage, use new API.

This is part of an effort to reduce structure sizes for machines
configured with large NR_CPUS.  cpumask_t gets replaced by
cpumask_var_t, which is either struct cpumask[1] (small NR_CPUS) or
struct cpumask * (large NR_CPUS).

(Changes to powernow-k* by <travis>.)

abe1dfab60 ACPI: don't cond_resched() when irqs_disabled()
The ACPI interpreter usually runs with irqs enabled.
However, during suspend/resume it runs with
irqs disabled to evaluate _GTS/_BFS, as well as
by irqrouter_resume() which evaluates _CRS, _PRS, _SRS.

e76f427611 ACPI: fix 2.6.28 acpi.debug_level regression
acpi_early_init() was changed to over-write the cmdline param,
making it really inconvenient to set debug flags at boot-time.

Also,
This sets the default level to "info", which is what all the ACPI
drivers use.  So to enable messages from drivers, you only have to
supply the "layer" (a.k.a. "component").  For non-"info" ACPI core
and ACPI interpreter messages, you have to supply both level and
layer masks, as before.

95a28ed086 ACPICA: Allow _WAK method to return an Integer
This can happen if the _WAK method returns nothing (as per ACPI
1.0) but does return an integer if the implicit return mechanism
is enabled.  This is the only method that has this problem,
since it is also defined to return a package of two integers
(ACPI 1.0b+). In all other cases, if a method returns an object
when one was not expected, no warning is issued.

22c13f9d81 ACPI: video: Ignore devices that aren't present in hardware
This is a reimplemention of commit
0119509c4f
from Matthew Garrett <mjg59@srcf.ucam.org>

This patch got removed because of a regression: ThinkPads with a
Intel graphics card and an Integrated Graphics Device BIOS implementation
stopped working.
In fact, they only worked because the ACPI device of the discrete, the
wrong one, got used (via int10). So ACPI functions were poking on the wrong
hardware used which is a sever bug.
The next patch provides support for above ThinkPads to be able to
switch brightness via the legacy thinkpad_acpi driver and automatically
detect when to use it.

Original commit message from Matthew Garrett:
    Vendors often ship machines with a choice of integrated or discrete
    graphics, and use the same DSDT for both. As a result, the ACPI video
    module will locate devices that may not exist on this specific platform.
    Attempt to determine whether the device exists or not, and abort the
    device creation if it doesn't.

ad93a765c1 ACPI: Disambiguate processor declaration type
Declaring processors in ACPI namespace can be done using either a
"Processor" definition or a "Device" definition (see section 8.4 -
Declaring Processors; "Advanced Configuration and Power Interface
Specification", Revision 3.0b).  Currently the two processor
declaration types are conflated.

This patch disambiguates the processor declaration's definition type
enabling subsequent code to behave uniquely based explicitly on the
declaration's type.

8950d89aca ACPI: remove CONFIG_ACPI_EC
Remove CONFIG_ACPI_EC.  It was always set the same as CONFIG_ACPI,
and it had no menu label, so there was no way to set it to anything
other than "y".

Per section 6.5.4 of the ACPI 3.0b specification,

    OSPM must make Embedded Controller operation regions, accessed
    via the Embedded Controllers described in ECDT, available before
    executing any control method.

The ECDT table is optional, but if it is present, the above text
means that the EC it describes is a required part of the ACPI
subsystem, so CONFIG_ACPI_EC=n wouldn't make sense.

ed206fac87 ACPI: bugfix reporting of event handler status
Introduce a new flag showing whether the event has an event handler/method.

For all the GPEs and Fixed Events,
 1. ACPI_EVENT_FLAG_HANDLE is cleared, it's an "invalid" ACPI event.
 2. Both ACPI_EVENT_FLAG_HANDLE and ACPI_EVENT_FLAG_DISABLE are set,
    it's "disabled".
 3. Both ACPI_EVENT_FLAG_HANDLE and ACPI_EVENT_FLAG_ENABLE are set,
    it's "enabled".
 4. Both ACPI_EVENT_FLAG_HANDLE and ACPI_EVENT_FLAG_WAKE_ENABLE are set,
    it's "wake_enabled".

Among other things, this prevents incorrect reporting of ACPI events
as being "invalid" when it's really just (temporarily) "disabled".

f5adfaa372 ACPI: Add "acpi.power_nocheck=1" to disable power state check in power transition
Maybe the incorrect power state is returned on the bogus bios, which
is different with the real power state. For example: the bios returns D0
state and the real power state is D3. OS expects to set the device to D0
state. In  such case if OS uses the power state returned by the BIOS and
checks the device power state very strictly in power transition, the device
can't be transited to the correct power state.

   So the boot option of "acpi.power_nocheck=1" is added to avoid checking
the device power in the course of device power transition.

455c8793d2 ACPI: Enable EC device immediately after ACPI full initialization
when there is no ECDT table and no _INI object for EC device, it will be
enabled before scanning ACPI device. But it is too late after the following
the commit is merged.
    >commit 7752d5cfe3

    > Date:   Fri Feb 15 01:27:20 2008 -0800
       >x86: validate against acpi motherboard resources

   After the above commit is merged, OS will check whether MCFG area is
reserved in ACPI motherboard resources by calling the function of
acpi_get_devices when there exists MCFG table. In the acpi_get_devices the _STA
object will be evaluated to check the status of the ACPI device. On some broken
BIOS the MYEC object of EC device is initialized as one, which indicates that
EC operation region is already accessible before enabling EC device.So on these
broken BIOS the EC operation region will be accessed in course of evaluating
the _STA object before enabling EC device, which causes that OS will print the
following warning messages:
    >ACPI Error (evregion-0315): No handler for Region [EC__] (ffff88007f8145e8)
[EmbeddedControl] [20080609]
    >ACPI Error (exfldio-0290): Region EmbeddedControl(3) has no handler [20080321]
    >ACPI Error (psparse-0530): Method parse/execution failed [\_SB_.PCI0.SBRG.
         EC__.BAT1._STA] (Node ffff81013fc17a00), AE_NOT_EXIST
    >ACPI Error (uteval-0233): Method execution failed [\_SB_.PCI0.SBRG.EC__.BAT1.
         _STA] (Node ffff81013fc17a00), AE_NOT_EXIST

Although the above warning message is harmless, it looks confusing.
So it is necessary to enable EC device as early as possible.Maybe it is
appropriate to enable it immediately after ACPI full initialization.

db89b4f0db ACPI: catch calls of acpi_driver_data on pointer of wrong type
Catch attempts to use of acpi_driver_data on pointers of wrong type.

akpm: rewritten to use proper C typechecking and remove the
"function"-used-as-lvalue thing.

1253f7aabf dock: introduce .uevent for devices in dock, eg libata
dock's uevent reported itself, not ata. It might be difficult to find an
ata device just according to a dock. This patch introduces docking ops
for each device in a dock. when docking, dock driver can send device
specific uevent. This should help dock station too (not just bay)

19cd847ab2 ACPI: fix hotplug race
The hotplug notification handler and drivers' notification handler all
run in one workqueue.  Before hotplug removes an acpi device, the
device driver's notification handler is already be recorded to run just
after global notification handler.  After hotplug notification handler
runs, acpica will notice a NULL notification handler and crash.

So now we run run hotplug in another workqueue and wait
for all acpi notication handlers finish.
This was found in battery hotplug, but actually all
hotplug can be affected.

6bd00a61ab ACPI: introduce notifier change to avoid duplicates
The battery driver already registers notification handler.
To avoid registering notification handler again,
introduce a notifier chain in global system notifier handler
and use it in dock driver.
