    ACPI: Don't let acpi_pad needlessly mark TSC unstable
    
    acpi pad driver kind of aggressively marks TSC as unstable at init
    time, on mwait capable and non X86_FEATURE_NONSTOP_TSC systems. This is
    irrespective of whether pad driver is ever going to be used on the
    system or deep C-states are supported/used. This will affect every user
    who just happens to compile in (or get a kernel version which
    compiles in) acpi pad driver.
    
    Move mark_tsc_unstable() out of init to the actual idle invocation path
    of the pad driver.
    
    There is also another bug/missing_feature in the code that it does not
    support 'always running apic timer' and switches to broadcast mode
    unconditionally. Shaohua, can you take a look at that please.

    acpi_enter_[simple,bm] does
    idle timing in ns, convert it to timeval, then to us, then to

    This patch changes things to

    Just saves an imul along this path, but makes the code cleaner.

    ACPI: delete unused c-state promotion/demotion data strucutures
    
    These were used before cpuidle by the native ACPI idle driver,
    which tracked promotion and demotion between states.
    
    The code was referenced by CONFIG_ACPI_PROCFS
    for /proc/acpi/processor/*/power,
    but as we no longer do promotion/demotion, that
    reference has been a NOP since the transition.

    ACPI, APEI, EINJ injection parameters support
    
    Some hardware error injection needs parameters, for example, it is
    useful to specify memory address and memory address mask for memory
    errors.
    
    Some BIOSes allow parameters to be specified via an unpublished
    extension. This patch adds support to it. The parameters will be
    ignored on machines without necessary BIOS support.

    ACPI, APEI, Use ERST for persistent storage of MCE
    
    Traditionally, fatal MCE will cause Linux print error log to console
    then reboot. Because MCE registers will preserve their content after
    warm reboot, the hardware error can be logged to disk or network after
    reboot. But system may fail to warm reboot, then you may lose the
    hardware error log. ERST can help here. Through saving the hardware
    error log into flash via ERST before go panic, the hardware error log
    can be gotten from the flash after system boot successful again.
    
    The fatal MCE processing procedure with ERST involved is as follow:
    
    - Hardware detect error, MCE raised
    - MCE read MCE registers, check error severity (fatal), prepare error record
    - Write MCE error record into flash via ERST
    - Go panic, then trigger system reboot
    - System reboot, /sbin/mcelog run, it reads /dev/mcelog to check flash
      for error record of previous boot via ERST, and output and clear
      them if available
    - /sbin/mcelog logs error records into disk or network
    
    ERST only accepts CPER record format, but there is no pre-defined CPER
    section can accommodate all information in struct mce, so a customized
    section type is defined to hold struct mce inside a CPER record as an
    error section.

    ACPI, APEI, Error Record Serialization Table (ERST) support
    
    ERST is a way provided by APEI to save and retrieve hardware error
    record to and from some simple persistent storage (such as flash).
    
    The Linux kernel support implementation is quite simple and workable
    in NMI context. So it can be used to save hardware error record into
    flash in hardware error exception or NMI handler, where other more
    complex persistent storage such as disk is not usable. After saving
    hardware error records via ERST in hardware error exception or NMI
    handler, the error records can be retrieved and logged into disk or
    network after a clean reboot.
    
    For more information about ERST, please refer to ACPI Specification
    version 4.0, section 17.4.
    
    This patch incorporate fixes from Jin Dongming.

    hardware errors (such as that from chipset). It works in so called
    "Firmware First" mode, that is, hardware errors are reported to
    firmware firstly, then reported to Linux by firmware. This way, some
    non-standard hardware error registers or non-standard hardware link
    can be checked by firmware to produce more valuable hardware error
    information for Linux.
    
    Now, only SCI notification type and memory errors are supported. More
    notification type and hardware error type will be added later. These
    memory errors are reported to user space through /dev/mcelog via
    faking a corrected Machine Check, so that the error memory page can be
    offlined by /sbin/mcelog if the error count for one page is beyond the
    threshold.
    
    On some machines, Machine Check can not report physical address for
    some corrected memory errors, but GHES can do that. So this simplified
    GHES is implemented firstly.

    Unified UUID/GUID definition
    
    There are many different UUID/GUID definitions in kernel, such as that
    in EFI, many file systems, some drivers, etc. Every kernel components
    need UUID/GUID has its own definition. This patch provides a unified
    definition for UUID/GUID.
    
    UUID is defined via typedef. This makes that UUID appears more like a
    preliminary type, and makes the data type explicit (comparing with
    implicit "u8 uuid[16]").
    
    The binary representation of UUID/GUID can be little-endian (used by
    EFI, etc) or big-endian (defined by RFC4122), so both is defined.

    ACPI Hardware Error Device (PNP0C33) support
    
    Hardware Error Device (PNP0C33) is used to report some hardware errors
    notified via SCI, mainly the corrected errors. Some APEI Generic
    Hardware Error Source (GHES) may use SCI on hardware error device to
    notify hardware error to kernel.
    
    After receiving notification from ACPI core, it is forwarded to all
    listeners via a notifier chain. The listener such as APEI GHES should
    check corresponding error source for new events when notified.

    ACPI, APEI, HEST table parsing
    
    HEST describes error sources in detail; communicating operational
    parameters (i.e. severity levels, masking bits, and threshold values)
    to OS as necessary. It also allows the platform to report error
    sources for which OS would typically not implement support (for
    example, chipset-specific error registers).
    
    HEST information may be needed by other subsystems. For example, HEST
    PCIE AER error source information describes whether a PCIE root port
    works in "firmware first" mode, this is needed by general PCIE AER
    error subsystem. So a public HEST tabling parsing interface is
    provided.

    ACPI, APEI, APEI supporting infrastructure
    
    APEI stands for ACPI Platform Error Interface, which allows to report
    errors (for example from the chipset) to the operating system. This
    improves NMI handling especially. In addition it supports error
    serialization and error injection.
    
    For more information about APEI, please refer to ACPI Specification
    version 4.0, chapter 17.
    
    This patch provides some common functions used by more than one APEI
    tables, mainly framework of interpreter for EINJ and ERST.
    
    A machine readable language is defined for EINJ and ERST for OS to
    execute, and so to drive the firmware to fulfill the corresponding
    functions. The machine language for EINJ and ERST is compatible, so a
    common framework is defined for them.

    ACPI, IO memory pre-mapping and atomic accessing
    
    Some ACPI IO accessing need to be done in atomic context. For example,
    APEI ERST operations may be used for permanent storage in hardware
    error handler. That is, it may be called in atomic contexts such as
    IRQ or NMI, etc. And, ERST/EINJ implement their operations via IO
    memory/port accessing.  But the IO memory accessing method provided by
    ACPI (acpi_read/acpi_write) maps the IO memory during it is accessed,
    so it can not be used in atomic context. To solve the issue, the IO
    memory should be pre-mapped during EINJ/ERST initializing. A linked
    list is used to record which memory area has been mapped, when memory
    is accessed in hardware error handler, search the linked list for the
    mapped virtual address from the given physical address.

    ACPI: Unconditionally set SCI_EN on resume
    
    The ACPI spec tells us that the firmware will reenable SCI_EN on resume.
    Reality disagrees in some cases. The ACPI spec tells us that the only way
    to set SCI_EN is via an SMM call.
    https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13745 shows us that doing so
    may break machines. Tracing the ACPI calls made by Windows shows that it
    unconditionally sets SCI_EN on resume with a direct register write, and
    therefore the overwhelming probability is that everything is fine with
    this behaviour.

    ACPICA: simplify SCI_EN workaround
    
    acpi_hw_set_mode() double checks its effectiveness
    by calling acpi_hw_get_mode() -- polling up to 3 seconds.
    
    It would be more logical for its caller, acpi_enable()
    acpi_enable() to do the double-checking.  (lets assume
    that acpi_disable() isn't interesting)
    
    The ACPI specification is unclear on this point.
    Some parts say that the BIOS sets SCI_EN and then returns to the OS,
    but one part says "OSPM polls the SCI_EN bit until it is sampled SET".
    
    The systems I have on hand do the former,
    SCI_EN is observed to be set upon return from the BIOS.
    
    So we move the check up out of acpi_hw_set_mode()
    up into acpi_enable() where it makes logical sense.
    
    Then we replace the 3-second polling loop
    with a single check.  If this check fails, we'll see:
    
    	"Hardware did not enter ACPI mode"
    
    and the system will bail out of ACPI initialization
    and likely fail to boot.  If we see that in practice,
    we can restore the polling, but put it into acpi_enable.
    
    This patch is important if acpi_enable() is used in
    the resume from S3 path.  Many systems today are seen
    coming back from S3 with SCI_EN off, and then failing
    to set SCI_EN in response to acpi_enable().  Those systems
    will take 3 seconds longer to resume due to this loop.
    
    However, it is possible that we will not use acpi_enable()
    in the S3 resume path, and bang SCI_EN directly, which
    would make the loop harmless, as it would be invisible
    to all systems except those that need it.

    ACPI: pci_root: pass acpi_pci_root to arch-specific scan
    
    The acpi_pci_root structure contains all the individual items (acpi_device,
    domain, bus number) we pass to pci_acpi_scan_root(), so just pass the
    single acpi_pci_root pointer directly.
    
    This will make it easier to add _CBA support later.  For _CBA, we need the
    entire downstream bus range, not just the base bus number.  We have that in
    the acpi_pci_root structure, so passing the pointer makes it available to
    the arch-specific code.

    ACPI: pci_root: save downstream bus range
    
    Previously, we only saved the root bus number, i.e., the beginning of the
    downstream bus range.  We now support IORESOURCE_BUS resources, so this
    patch uses that to keep track of both the beginning and the end of the
    downstream bus range.
    
    It's important to know both the beginning and the end for supporting _CBA
    (see PCI Firmware spec, rev 3.0, sec 4.1.3) and so we know the limits for
    any possible PCI bus renumbering (we can't renumber downstream buses to be
    outside the bus number range claimed by the host bridge).
    
    It's clear from the spec that the bus range is supposed to be in _CRS, but
    if we don't find it there, we'll assume [_BBN - 0xFF] or [0 - 0xFF].

    ACPI: delete the "acpi=ht" boot option
    
    acpi=ht was important in 2003 -- before ACPI was
    universally deployed and enabled by default in
    the major Linux distributions.
    
    At that time, there were a fair number of people who
    or chose to, or needed to, run with acpi=off,
    yet also wanted access to Hyper-threading.
    
    Today we find that many invocations of "acpi=ht"
    are accidental, and thus is it possible that it
    is doing more harm than good.
    
    In 2.6.34, we warn on invocation of acpi=ht.
    In 2.6.35, we delete the boot option.
