1131b938f0 ACPI: remove acpi_device.flags.hardware_id
Every acpi_device has at least one ID (if there's no _HID or _CID, we
give it a synthetic or default ID).  So there's no longer a need to
check whether an ID exists; we can just use it.

7f47fa6c2f ACPI: maintain a single list of _HID and _CID IDs
There's no need to treat _HID and _CID differently.  Keeping them in
a single list makes code that uses the IDs a little simpler because it
can just traverse the list rather than checking "do we have a HID?",
"do we have any CIDs?"

b1fbfb2ae8 ACPI: make sure every acpi_device has an ID
This makes sure every acpi_device has at least one ID.  If we build an
acpi_device for a namespace node with no _HID or _CID, we sometimes
synthesize an ID like "LNXCPU" or "LNXVIDEO".  If we don't even have
that, give it a default "device" ID.

Note that this means things like:
    /sys/devices/LNXSYSTM:00/LNXSYBUS:00/HWP0001:00/HWP0002:04/device:00
(a PCI slot SxFy device) will have "hid" and "modprobe" entries, where
they didn't before.  These aren't very useful (a HID of "device" doesn't
tell you what *kind* of device it is, so it doesn't help find a driver),
but I don't think they're harmful.

e3b87f8a9d ACPI: handle re-enumeration, when acpi_devices might already exist
acpi_bus_scan() traverses the namespace to enumerate devices and uses
acpi_add_single_object() to create acpi_devices.  When the platform
notifies us of a hot-plug event, we need to traverse part of the namespace
again to figure out what appeared or disappeared.  (We don't yet call
acpi_bus_scan() during hot-plug, but I plan to do that in the future.)

This patch makes acpi_add_single_object() notice when we already have
an acpi_device, so we don't need to make a new one.

51a85faf2d ACPI: use acpi_walk_namespace() to enumerate devices
acpi_bus_scan() currently walks the namespace manually.  This patch changes
it to use acpi_walk_namespace() instead.

Besides removing some complicated code, this means we take advantage of the
namespace locking done by acpi_walk_namespace().  The locking isn't so
important at boot-time, but I hope to eventually use this same path to
handle hot-addition of devices, when it will be important.

Note that acpi_walk_namespace() does not actually visit the starting node
first, so we need to do that by hand first.

859ac9a4be ACPI: identify device tree root by null parent pointer, not ACPI_BUS_TYPE
We can identify the root of the ACPI device tree by the fact that it
has no parent.  This is simpler than passing around ACPI_BUS_TYPE_SYSTEM
and will help remove special treatment of the device tree root.

Currently, we add the root by hand with ACPI_BUS_TYPE_SYSTEM.  If we
traverse the tree treating the root as just another device and use
acpi_get_type(), the root shows up as ACPI_TYPE_DEVICE.

functional fixed" order instead of the "root, functional fixed, namespace"
order.  When I change acpi_bus_scan() to use acpi_walk_namespace(), it

8e029bf0a6 ACPI: convert acpi_bus_scan() to operate on an acpi_handle
This patch changes acpi_bus_scan() to take an acpi_handle rather than an
acpi_device pointer.  I plan to use acpi_bus_scan() in the hotplug path,
and I'd rather not assume that notifications only go to nodes that already
have acpi_devices.

This will also help remove the special case for adding the root node.  We
currently add the root by hand before acpi_bus_scan(), but using a handle
here means we can start the acpi_bus_scan() directly with the root even
though it doesn't have an acpi_device yet.

Note that acpi_bus_scan() currently adds and/or starts the *children* of
its device argument.  It doesn't do anything with the device itself.

9b83ccd2f1 ACPI PM: Replace wakeup.prepared with reference counter
The wakeup.prepared flag is used for marking devices that have the
wake-up power already enabled, so that the wake-up power is not
enabled twice in a row for the same device.  This assumes, however,
that device wake-up power will only be enabled once, while the device
is being prepared for a system-wide sleep transition, and the second
attempt is made by acpi_enable_wakeup_device_prep().

With the upcoming PCI wake-up rework this assumption will not hold
any more for PCI bridges and the root bridge whose wake-up power
may be enabled as a result of wake-up enable propagation from other
devices (eg. add-on devices that are not associated with any GPEs).
Thus, there may be many attempts to enable wake-up power on a PCI
bridge or the root bridge during a system power state transition
and it's better to replace wakeup.prepared with a reference counter.

 - Call the _SxW power methods on behalf of a device object
 - Determine if a device is a PCI root bridge
 - Change the ACPI_BUFFER parameter to ACPI_DEVICE_INFO.
These changes will require an update to all callers of this interface.

46ec8598fd ACPI: support acpi_device_ops .notify methods
This patch adds support for ACPI device driver .notify() methods.  If
such a method is present, Linux/ACPI installs a handler for device
notifications (but not for system notifications such as Bus Check,
Device Check, etc).  When a device notification occurs, Linux/ACPI
passes it on to the driver's .notify() method.

In most cases, this removes the need for drivers to install their own
handlers for device-specific notifications.

For fixed hardware devices like some power and sleep buttons, there's
no notification value because there's no control method to execute a
Notify opcode.  When a fixed hardware device generates an event, we
handle it the same as a regular device notification, except we send
a ACPI_FIXED_HARDWARE_EVENT value.  This is outside the normal 0x0-0xff
range used by Notify opcodes.

Several drivers install their own handlers for system Bus Check and
Device Check notifications so they can support hot-plug.  This patch
doesn't affect that usage.

acpi_scan_init() registers the ACPI bus type, creates the root device,
and enumerates fixed-feature and namespace devices.  All of this must
be done after acpi_init(), and it's better to call acpi_scan_init()
explicitly rather than rely on the link ordering.

Currently it is possible to load above drivers and let both poke on the

This patch provides the basic support to check for BIOS capabilities before
driver loading time. Driver specific modifications are in separate follow up

This patch is part of a larger patch series which will remove
the "char bus_id[20]" name string from struct device. The device
name is managed in the kobject anyway, and without any size
limitation, and just needlessly copied into "struct device".

To set and read the device name dev_name(dev) and dev_set_name(dev)
must be used. If your code uses static kobjects, which it shouldn't
do, "const char *init_name" can be used to statically provide the
name the registered device should have. At registration time, the
init_name field is cleared, to enforce the use of dev_name(dev) to
access the device name at a later time.

We need to get rid of all occurrences of bus_id in the entire tree
to be able to enable the new interface. Please apply this patch,
and possibly convert any remaining remaining occurrences of bus_id.

We want to submit a patch to -next, which will remove bus_id from
"struct device", to find the remaining pieces to convert, and finally
switch over to the new api, which will remove the 20 bytes array
and does no longer have a size limitation.

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.
