Without this change, a table cannot be loaded again once it has
been loaded/unloaded one time. The current mechanism does not
unregister a table upon an unload. During a load, if the same
table is found, this no longer returns an exception.

Previously, dynamically loaded tables were simply mapped, but on some machines
this memory is corrupted after suspend. Now copy the table to a local buffer.
For OpRegion case, added checksum verify. Use the table length from the table header,
not the region length. For Buffer case, use the table length also.

Code in `pci_link.c' is calling the internal routine `acpi_ut_evaluate_object'
which is dangerous given that it is passing a NULL pointer when it should
be passing a pointer to a real object. The patch corrects the issue by
having the code call the external routine `acpi_evaluate_object', which
correctly handles a NULL pointer.

According to ACPI spec when the status of some device is not present
but functional, the device is valid and the children of this device
should be enumerated. It means that the device should be added to
linux acpi device tree. But the device driver for this device should not
be loaded.
The detailed info can be found in the section 6.3.7 of ACPI 3.0b spec.
_STA may return bit 0 clear (not present) with bit 3 set (device is
functional). This case is used to indicate a valid device for which no
device driver should be loaded (for example, a bridge device.).
Children of this device may be present and valid. OS should continue
enumeration below a device whose _STA returns this bit combination

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.

Get the device power state in the course of scanning device if the device
power flag is power_managable. i.e. The device has the _PSx/_PRx object.
At the same time before the drivers/acpi/power module is loaded, there is no
relation between acpi_power_resource and acpi device. So the first parameter
of acpi_power_get_state is changed to acpi_handle.

The AE_BAD_ADDRESS exception code is now unused in ACPICA.
For linux, it's only used at wmi.c and acer-wmi.c.
I checked both wmi.c and acer-wmi.c, the AE_BAD_ADDRESS exception code
has no special meaning. The parent functions just call AE_SUCCESS() or
AE_FAILURE() to check the return status.
So it's safe to replace AE_BAD_ADDRESS with AE_ERROR.

Initially CONFIG_PM_SLEEP was defined as
CONFIG_SUSPEND || CONFIG_HIBERNATION and some ACPI code, most
importantly the code in drivers/acpi/main.c, was written with this
assumption. Currently, however, CONFIG_PM_SLEEP is also set when
CONFIG_XEN_SAVE_RESTORE is set.
This causes some compilation warnings to appear in
drivers/acpi/main.c if both CONFIG_SUSPEND and CONFIG_HIBERNATION
are unset and CONFIG_PM_SLEEP is set (this was impossible before).
To fix this problem, redefine CONFIG_ACPI_SLEEP do depend directly
on CONFIG_SUSPEND || CONFIG_HIBERNATION, as originally intended, and
use it instead of CONFIG_PM_SLEEP in drivers/acpi/main.c, wherever
appropriate.
Additionally, move the acpi_target_sleep_state definition from under
the #ifdef to prevent compilation from failing in some cases.

According to ACPI 3.0, FADT.flags.RESET_REG_SUP indicates
whether the ACPI reboot mechanism is supported.
However, some boxes have this bit clear, have a valid
ACPI_RESET_REG & RESET_VALUE, and ACPI reboot is the only
mechanism that works for them after S3.
This suggests that other operating systems may not be checking
the RESET_REG_SUP bit, and are using other means to decide
whether to use the ACPI reboot mechanism or not.
Here we stop checking RESET_REG_SUP.
Instead, When acpi reboot is requested,
only the reset_register is checked. If the following
conditions are met, it indicates that the reset register is supported.
a. reset_register is not zero
b. the access width is eight
c. the bit_offset is zero

For it is EC firmware that decides when the EC

anywhere in the neighborhood of the fake

On some broken BIOS the ACPI object in EC _REG method can't be found in
ACPI namespace, which causes that the status code of AE_NOT_FOUND is returned by
the EC _REG object. In such case the EC device can't be initialized correctly,
which causes that battery/AC adapter can't work normally. As the EC address
space handler is not removed and the memory pointed by its input argument is
already free, sometimes the kernel will also be panic when EC internal register
is still accessed. But the windows can work well on such broken BIOS.
Maybe it will be reasonable that OS ignores the AE_NOT_FOUND error
returned by the EC _REG object and continues to initialize EC device
on some broken BIOS.
For example: the ACPI object in EC _REG method can't be found and status error
code is AE_NOT_FOUND.

cpuidle accounts the idle time for the C-state it was trying to enter and
not to the actual state that the driver eventually entered. The driver may
select a different state than the one chosen by cpuidle due to
constraints like bus-mastering, etc.
Change the time acounting code to look at the dev->last_state after
returning from target_state->enter(). Driver can modify dev->last_state
internally, inside the enter routine to reflect the actual C-state
entered.

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 7752d5cfe3d11ca0bb9c673ec38bd78ba6578f8e
> Author: Robert Hancock <hancockr@shaw.ca>
> 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.

Note that pnp_dock_event() checks "#ifdef DEBUG". But there's
never been a clear path for enabling that via configgery. It

This patch (mostly from Peter Gruber) improves the handling of the hotkeys
for P8010 laptops by passing more accurate input events back to userspace.
This is needed because the P8010 labels these buttons quite differently to
earlier laptops. As part of this, a P8010-specific DMI callback check has
been implemented. Finally there's some minor whitespace cleanups from
running the source through Lindent.

The (1.0 inherited) separate length fields in the FADT are byte granular.
Further, PM1a/b may have distinct lengths (if using the v2 fields was
okay) and may live in distinct address spaces. acpi_tb_convert_fadt()
should account for all of these conditions.
Apart from these changes I'm puzzled by the fact that, not just for
acpi_gbl_xpm1{a,b}_enable, acpi_hw_low_level_{read,write}() get an
explicit size passed rather than using the size found in the passed GAS.
What happens on a platform that defines PM1{a,b} wider than 16 bits? Of
course, acpi_hw_low_level_{read,write}() at present are entirely
un-prepared to deal with sizes other than 8, 16, or 32, not to speak of a
non-zero bit_offset or access_width...

This is debatable, but while we're debating it, let's disallow the
combination of splice and an O_APPEND destination.
It's not entirely clear what the semantics of O_APPEND should be, and
POSIX apparently expects pwrite() to ignore O_APPEND, for example. So
we could make up any semantics we want, including the old ones.
But Miklos convinced me that we should at least give it some thought,
and that accepting writes at arbitrary offsets is wrong at least for
IS_APPEND() files (which always have O_APPEND set, even if the reverse
isn't true: you can obviously have O_APPEND set on a regular file).
So disallow O_APPEND entirely for now. I doubt anybody cares, and this
way we have one less gray area to worry about.
