Commit f80ae7e45a0e03da188494c6e947a5c8b0cdfb4a
ahci: filter FPDMA non-zero offset enable for Aspire 3810T
breaks the current git build for configurations that don't define
CONFIG_ATA_ACPI.
This adds an ifdef wrapper to ahci_gtf_filter_workaround.

Curiously, Aspire 3810T issues many SATA feature enable commands via
_GTF, of which one is invalid and another is not supported by the
drive. In the process, it also enables FPDMA non-zero offset.
However, the feature also needs to be supported and enabled from the
controller and it's wrong to enable it from _GTF unless the controller
can do it by default.
Currently, this ends up enabling FPDMA non-zero offset only on the
drive side leading to NCQ command failures and eventual disabling of
NCQ. This patch makes libata filter out FPDMA non-zero offset enable
for the machine.
This was reported by Marcus Meissner in bnc#522790.

Update the AHCI driver to display all of the HBA capabilities defined in the
AHCI 1.3 specification. Some of these are in a new CAP2 (HBA Capabilities
Extended) register which is only defined on AHCI 1.2 or later. The spec says
that undefined registers should always return 0 on read, but to be safe we
assume a value of 0 unless the controller reports AHCI version 1.2 or later.
The value can also be retrieved through sysfs as with the existing capability
field.
For example, on an Intel Ibex Peak (PCH) controller:
ahci 0000:00:1f.2: flags: 64bit ncq sntf stag pm led clo pmp pio slum part ems
sxs apst
We don't do anything special with the new flags yet.
Also, change the code that displays the flags to use the same bit enumerations
that are used to control actual operation.

Till now only one board, ASUS M2A-VM, can do 64bit dma with recent
BIOSen. Enabling 64bit DMA by default already broke three boards.
Enabling 64bit DMA isn't worth these regressions. Disable 64bit DMA
by default and enable it only on boards which are known to work.

Commit a5bfc4714b3f01365aef89a92673f2ceb1ccf246 dropped explicit
pci_intx() manipulation from ahci because it seemed unnecessary and
ahci doesn't seem to be the right place to be tweaking it if it were.
This was largely okay but there are exceptions. There was one on an
embedded platform which was fixed via firmware and now bko#14124
reports it on a HP DL320.
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14124
I still think this isn't something libata drivers should be caring
about (the only ones which are calling pci_intx() explicitly are
libata ones and one other driver) but for now reverting the change
seems to be the right thing to do.

This patch refines ahci_kick_engine() after discussion with Tejun about
FBS(FIS-based switching) support preparation:
a. Kill @force_restart and always kick the engine. The only case where
@force_restart is zero is when it's called from ahci_p5wdh_hardreset()
Actually at that point, BSY is pretty much guaranteed to be set.
b. If PMP is attached, ignore busy and always do CLO. (AHCI-1.3 9.2)

It turns out ASUS M2A-VM isn't the only one with the 32bit DMA
problem. Make ahci_asus_m2a_vm_32bit_only() more generic using the
new dmi_get_date() and rename it to ahci_sb600_32bit_only(). Cut off
date is now pointed to by dmi_system_id->driver_data in "yyyymmdd"
format and it's now also allowed to be omitted.

There are cases where full date information is required instead of
just the year. Add month and day parsing to dmi_get_year() and rename
it to dmi_get_date().
As the original function only required '/' followed by any number of
parseable characters at the end of the string, keep that behavior to
avoid upsetting existing users.
The new function takes dates of format [mm[/dd]]/yy[yy]. Year, month
and date are checked to be in the ranges of [1-9999], [1-12] and
[1-31] respectively and any invalid or out-of-range component is
returned as zero.
The dummy implementation is updated accordingly but the return value
is updated to indicate field not found which is consistent with how
other dummy functions behave.

AHCI exports various capability bits that may be of interest to userspace
such as whether the BIOS claims a port is hotpluggable or eSATA. Providing
these via sysfs along with the version of the AHCI spec implemented by
the host allows userspace to make policy decisions for things like ALPM.

Some gigabytes have on-board SIMG5723s connected to JMB ahcis. These
are used to implement hardware raid. Unfortunately some firmware
revisions on these 5723s don't bring the link down when all the
downstream ports are unoccupied while not responding to reset protocol
which makes libata think that there's device attached to the port but
is not responding and retry. This results in painfully wrong boot
detection time for these ports when they're empty.
This patch quirks those boards such that ahci gives up after the
initial timeout. Combined with parallel probing, this gives quick
enough probing and also is safe because SIMG5723 will respond to the
first try if any of the downstream ports is occupied.

Community reported one SB600 SATA issue(BZ #9412), which led to 64 bit
DMA disablement for all SB600 revisions by driver maintainers with
commits c7a42156d99bcea7f8173ba7a6034bbaa2ecb77c and
4cde32fc4b32e96a99063af3183acdfd54c563f0.
But the root cause is ASUS M2A-VM system BIOS bug in old revisions
like 0901, while forcing into 32bit DMA happens to work as workaround.
Now it's time to withdraw 4cde32fc4b32e96a99063af3183acdfd54c563f0
so as to restore the SB600 SATA 64bit DMA capability.
This patch is also adding the workaround for M2A-VM old BIOS revisions,
but users are suggested to upgrade their system BIOS to the latest one
if they meet this issue.

During driver initialization ahci_start_port may not be able
to turn LEDs off because the hardware may still be transmitting
a message. And since the BIOS may not be setting the LEDs to
off the drive LEDs may end up in a fault state. This has
been seen on ICH9r and ICH10r when configured in AHCI mode
instead of RAID mode, this patch doesn't key off a specific
set of device IDs but will give the EM transmit bit a chance
to clear if busy.

ahci_transmit_led_message saves off the led_state
with a value that includes the port number OR'd
in, this incorrect value maybe reported back
in ahci_led_store.
For instance, if you turn off all the leds for
port 1 and cat the value back it will report 1
instead of 0.

There's no need to turn off intx explicitly on msi enable. This is
automatically handled by pci. Drop it.
This might be needed on machines if the BIOS turns intx off during
boot. However, there's no evidence of such behavior for ahci and
the only such case seems to be ICH5 PATA according to ata_piix.
Also, given the way ahci operates, it's highly unlikely BIOS ever
disables IRQ for the controller. However, as this change has slight
possibility of introducing failure, please schedule it for #upstream.

Some notebooks from HP have the problem that their BIOSes attempt to
spin down hard drives before entering ACPI system states S4 and S5.
This leads to a yo-yo effect during system power-off shutdown and the
last phase of hibernation when the disk is first spun down by the
kernel and then almost immediately turned on and off by the BIOS.
This, in turn, may result in shortening the disk's life times.
To prevent this from happening we can blacklist the affected systems
using DMI information.

There currently are the following looping constructs.
* __ata_port_for_each_link() for all available links
* ata_port_for_each_link() for edge links
* ata_link_for_each_dev() for all devices
* ata_link_for_each_dev_reverse() for all devices in reverse order
Now there's a need for looping construct which is similar to
__ata_port_for_each_link() but iterates over PMP links before the host
link. Instead of adding another one with long name, do the following
cleanup.
* Implement and export ata_link_next() and ata_dev_next() which take
@mode parameter and can be used to build custom loop.
* Implement ata_for_each_link() and ata_for_each_dev() which take
looping mode explicitly.
The following iteration modes are implemented.
* ATA_LITER_EDGE : loop over edge links
* ATA_LITER_HOST_FIRST : loop over all links, host link first
* ATA_LITER_PMP_FIRST : loop over all links, PMP links first
* ATA_DITER_ENABLED : loop over enabled devices
* ATA_DITER_ENABLED_REVERSE : loop over enabled devices in reverse order
* ATA_DITER_ALL : loop over all devices
* ATA_DITER_ALL_REVERSE : loop over all devices in reverse order
This change removes exlicit device enabledness checks from many loops
and makes it clear which ones are iterated over in which direction.

Add an appropriate entry for the Promise PDC42819 controller. It has an
AHCI mode and so far works correctly with board_ahci.
This chip is found on Promise's FastTrak TX2650 (2 port) and TX4650 (4 port)
software-based RAID cards (for which there is a binary driver, t3sas) and
can be found on some motherboards, for example the MSI K9A2 Platinum,
which calls the chip a Promise T3 controller.
Although this controller also supports SAS devices, its default bootup mode
is AHCI and the binary driver has to do some magic to get the chip into the
appropriate mode to drive SAS disks.
Seeing as no documentation is provided by Promise, adding this entry to the
ahci driver allows the controller to be useful to people as a SATA
controller (with no ill effects on the system if a SAS disk is connected -
probing of the port just times out with "link online but device
misclassified"), without having to resort to using the binary driver. Users
who require SAS or the proprietary software raid can get this functionality
using the binary driver.

On user request (through sysfs), the IDLE IMMEDIATE command with UNLOAD
FEATURE as specified in ATA-7 is issued to the device and processing of
the request queue is stopped thereafter until the specified timeout
expires or user space asks to resume normal operation. This is supposed
to prevent the heads of a hard drive from accidentally crashing onto the
platter when a heavy shock is anticipated (like a falling laptop
expected to hit the floor). In fact, the whole port stops processing
commands until the timeout has expired in order to avoid any resets due
to failed commands on another device.

Logically, SCR access ops should take @link; however, there was no
compelling reason to convert all SCR access ops when adding @link

I've been chasing Jeff about this for months. Jeff added the Marvell
device identifiers to the ahci driver without making the AHCI driver
handle the PATA port. This means a lot of users can't use current
kernels and in most distro cases can't even install.
This has been going on since March 2008 for the 6121 Marvell, and late 2007
for the 6145!!!
This was all pointed out at the time and repeatedly ignored. Bugs assigned
to Jeff about this are ignored also.
To quote Jeff in email
> "Just switch the order of 'ahci' and 'pata_marvell' in
> /etc/modprobe.conf, then use Fedora's tools regenerate the initrd.
> See? It's not rocket science, and the current configuration can be
> easily made to work for Fedora users."
(Which isn't trivial, isn't end user, shouldn't be needed, and as it usually
breaks at install time is in fact impossible)
To quote Jeff in August 2007
> " mv-ahci-pata
> Marvell 6121/6141 PATA support. Needs fixing in the 'PATA controller
> command' area before it is usable, and can go upstream."
Only he add the ids anyway later and caused regressions, adding a further
id in March causing more regresions.
The actual fix for the moment is very simple. If the user has included
the pata_marvell driver let it drive the ports. If they've only selected
for SATA support give them the AHCI driver which will run the port a fraction
faster. Allow the user to control this decision via ahci.marvell_enable as
a module parameter so that distributions can ship 'it works' defaults and
smarter users (or config tools) can then flip it over it desired.

SIS controllers were blacklisted for PMP as enabling it made device
detection fail whether the device was PMP or not - the natural
conclusion was the controller chokes on SRST w/ pmp==15. However, it
turned out that the controller just didn't like issuing SRST after
hardreset w/o clearing SError first. Interestingly, the SRST itself
succeeds but the following commands fail.
If SError is cleared between hardreset and SRST, which is the default
behavior now, everything works fine and SIS controllers work with PMPs
happily.
Remove PMP blacklisting for SIS AHCIs.

In an I/O heavy workload (IOZone), ahci_qc_issue is the second-highest
consumer of CPU cycles. Removing the flush gets us approximately 10%
bandwidth improvement. I believe this to be because the CPU can start
queueing the next request instead of waiting for the readl() to flush the
writes to the device. The flush isn't necessary because we're using a
'queue' metaphor; we don't guarantee the command has got to the device,
nor do we need to guarantee the command has got to the controller.

During resume, sleep 1 second to wait for the HBA reset

According to the AHCI 1.2 spec,

Test results show that the HBA reset can be done quickly(in usecs).
