Mika Westerberg 45f394391f gpiolib / ACPI: document the GPIO descriptor based interface
In addition to the existing ACPI specific GPIO interface, document the new
descriptor based GPIO interface in Documentation/acpi/enumeration.txt, so
it is clear that this new interface is preferred over the ACPI specific
version.

Mika Westerberg 55e71edb81 i2c: move ACPI helpers into the core
This follows what has already been done for the DeviceTree helpers. Move
the ACPI helpers from drivers/acpi/acpi_i2c.c to the I2C core and update
documentation accordingly.

This also solves a problem reported by Jerry Snitselaar that we can't build
the ACPI I2C helpers as a module.

Wolfram Sang 687b81d083 i2c: move OF helpers into the core
I2C of helpers used to live in of_i2c.c but experience (from SPI) shows
that it is much cleaner to have this in the core. This also removes a
circular dependency between the helpers and the core, and so we can
finally register child nodes in the core instead of doing this manually
in each driver. So, fix the drivers and documentation, too.

Linus Torvalds f991fae5c6 Merge tag 'pm+acpi-3.11-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rafael/linux-pm
Pull power management and ACPI updates from Rafael Wysocki:
 "This time the total number of ACPI commits is slightly greater than
  the number of cpufreq commits, but Viresh Kumar (who works on cpufreq)
  remains the most active patch submitter.

  To me, the most significant change is the addition of offline/online
  device operations to the driver core (with the Greg's blessing) and
  the related modifications of the ACPI core hotplug code.  Next are the
  freezer updates from Colin Cross that should make the freezing of
  tasks a bit less heavy weight.

  We also have a couple of regression fixes, a number of fixes for
  issues that have not been identified as regressions, two new drivers
  and a bunch of cleanups all over.

  Highlights:

   - Hotplug changes to support graceful hot-removal failures.

     It sometimes is necessary to fail device hot-removal operations
     gracefully if they cannot be carried out completely.  For example,
     if memory from a memory module being hot-removed has been allocated
     for the kernel's own use and cannot be moved elsewhere, it's
     desirable to fail the hot-removal operation in a graceful way
     rather than to crash the kernel, but currenty a success or a kernel
     crash are the only possible outcomes of an attempted memory
     hot-removal.  Needless to say, that is not a very attractive
     alternative and it had to be addressed.

     However, in order to make it work for memory, I first had to make
     it work for CPUs and for this purpose I needed to modify the ACPI
     processor driver.  It's been split into two parts, a resident one
     handling the low-level initialization/cleanup and a modular one
     playing the actual driver's role (but it binds to the CPU system
     device objects rather than to the ACPI device objects representing
     processors).  That's been sort of like a live brain surgery on a
     patient who's riding a bike.

     So this is a little scary, but since we found and fixed a couple of
     regressions it caused to happen during the early linux-next testing
     (a month ago), nobody has complained.

     As a bonus we remove some duplicated ACPI hotplug code, because the
     ACPI-based CPU hotplug is now going to use the common ACPI hotplug
     code.

   - Lighter weight freezing of tasks.

     These changes from Colin Cross and Mandeep Singh Baines are
     targeted at making the freezing of tasks a bit less heavy weight
     operation.  They reduce the number of tasks woken up every time
     during the freezing, by using the observation that the freezer
     simply doesn't need to wake up some of them and wait for them all
     to call refrigerator().  The time needed for the freezer to decide
     to report a failure is reduced too.

     Also reintroduced is the check causing a lockdep warining to
     trigger when try_to_freeze() is called with locks held (which is
     generally unsafe and shouldn't happen).

   - cpufreq updates

     First off, a commit from Srivatsa S Bhat fixes a resume regression
     introduced during the 3.10 cycle causing some cpufreq sysfs
     attributes to return wrong values to user space after resume.  The
     fix is kind of fresh, but also it's pretty obvious once Srivatsa
     has identified the root cause.

     Second, we have a new freqdomain_cpus sysfs attribute for the
     acpi-cpufreq driver to provide information previously available via
     related_cpus.  From Lan Tianyu.

     Finally, we fix a number of issues, mostly related to the
     CPUFREQ_POSTCHANGE notifier and cpufreq Kconfig options and clean
     up some code.  The majority of changes from Viresh Kumar with bits
     from Jacob Shin, Heiko Stübner, Xiaoguang Chen, Ezequiel Garcia,
     Arnd Bergmann, and Tang Yuantian.

   - ACPICA update

     A usual bunch of updates from the ACPICA upstream.

     During the 3.4 cycle we introduced support for ACPI 5 extended
     sleep registers, but they are only supposed to be used if the
     HW-reduced mode bit is set in the FADT flags and the code attempted
     to use them without checking that bit.  That caused suspend/resume
     regressions to happen on some systems.  Fix from Lv Zheng causes
     those registers to be used only if the HW-reduced mode bit is set.

     Apart from this some other ACPICA bugs are fixed and code cleanups
     are made by Bob Moore, Tomasz Nowicki, Lv Zheng, Chao Guan, and
     Zhang Rui.

   - cpuidle updates

     New driver for Xilinx Zynq processors is added by Michal Simek.

     Multidriver support simplification, addition of some missing
     kerneldoc comments and Kconfig-related fixes come from Daniel
     Lezcano.

   - ACPI power management updates

     Changes to make suspend/resume work correctly in Xen guests from
     Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk, sparse warning fix from Fengguang Wu and
     cleanups and fixes of the ACPI device power state selection
     routine.

   - ACPI documentation updates

     Some previously missing pieces of ACPI documentation are added by
     Lv Zheng and Aaron Lu (hopefully, that will help people to
     uderstand how the ACPI subsystem works) and one outdated doc is
     updated by Hanjun Guo.

   - Assorted ACPI updates

     We finally nailed down the IA-64 issue that was the reason for
     reverting commit 9f29ab11dd ("ACPI / scan: do not match drivers
     against objects having scan handlers"), so we can fix it and move
     the ACPI scan handler check added to the ACPI video driver back to
     the core.

     A mechanism for adding CMOS RTC address space handlers is
     introduced by Lan Tianyu to allow some EC-related breakage to be
     fixed on some systems.

     A spec-compliant implementation of acpi_os_get_timer() is added by
     Mika Westerberg.

     The evaluation of _STA is added to do_acpi_find_child() to avoid
     situations in which a pointer to a disabled device object is
     returned instead of an enabled one with the same _ADR value.  From
     Jeff Wu.

     Intel BayTrail PCH (Platform Controller Hub) support is added to
     the ACPI driver for Intel Low-Power Subsystems (LPSS) and that
     driver is modified to work around a couple of known BIOS issues.
     Changes from Mika Westerberg and Heikki Krogerus.

     The EC driver is fixed by Vasiliy Kulikov to use get_user() and
     put_user() instead of dereferencing user space pointers blindly.

     Code cleanups are made by Bjorn Helgaas, Nicholas Mazzuca and Toshi
     Kani.

   - Assorted power management updates

     The "runtime idle" helper routine is changed to take the return
     values of the callbacks executed by it into account and to call
     rpm_suspend() if they return 0, which allows us to reduce the
     overall code bloat a bit (by dropping some code that's not
     necessary any more after that modification).

     The runtime PM documentation is updated by Alan Stern (to reflect
     the "runtime idle" behavior change).

     New trace points for PM QoS are added by Sahara
     (<keun-o.park@windriver.com>).

     PM QoS documentation is updated by Lan Tianyu.

     Code cleanups are made and minor issues are addressed by Bernie
     Thompson, Bjorn Helgaas, Julius Werner, and Shuah Khan.

   - devfreq updates

     New driver for the Exynos5-bus device from Abhilash Kesavan.

     Minor cleanups, fixes and MAINTAINERS update from MyungJoo Ham,
     Abhilash Kesavan, Paul Bolle, Rajagopal Venkat, and Wei Yongjun.

Andy Shevchenko 1b2e98bc1e dma: acpi-dma: introduce ACPI DMA helpers
There is a new generic API to get a DMA channel for a slave device (commit
9a6cecc8 "dmaengine: add helper function to request a slave DMA channel"). In
similar fashion to the DT case (commit aa3da644 "of: Add generic device tree
DMA helpers") we introduce helpers to the DMAC drivers which are enumerated by
ACPI.

The proposed extension provides the following API calls:
	acpi_dma_controller_register(), devm_acpi_dma_controller_register()
	acpi_dma_controller_free(), devm_acpi_dma_controller_free()
	acpi_dma_simple_xlate()
	acpi_dma_request_slave_chan_by_index()
	acpi_dma_request_slave_chan_by_name()

The first two should be used, for example, at probe() and remove() of the
corresponding DMAC driver. At the register stage the DMAC driver supplies a
custom xlate() function to translate a struct dma_spec into struct dma_chan.

Accordingly to the ACPI Fixed DMA resource specification the only two pieces of
information the slave device has are the channel id and the request line (slave
id). Those two are represented by struct dma_spec. The
acpi_dma_request_slave_chan_by_index() provides access to the specifix FixedDMA
resource by its index. Whereas dma_request_slave_channel() takes a string
parameter to identify the DMA resources required by the slave device. To make a
slave device driver work with both DeviceTree and ACPI enumeration a simple
convention is established: "tx" corresponds to the index 0 and "rx" to the
index 1. In case of robust configuration the slave device driver unfortunately
needs to call acpi_dma_request_slave_chan_by_index() directly.

Additionally the patch provides "managed" version of the register/free pair
i.e. devm_acpi_dma_controller_register() and devm_acpi_dma_controller_free().
Usually, the driver uses only devm_acpi_dma_controller_register().

Rafael J. Wysocki ca589f9469 ACPI / scan: Introduce struct acpi_scan_handler
Introduce struct acpi_scan_handler for representing objects that
will do configuration tasks depending on ACPI device nodes'
hardware IDs (HIDs).

Currently, those tasks are done either directly by the ACPI namespace
scanning code or by ACPI device drivers designed specifically for
this purpose.  None of the above is desirable, however, because
doing that directly in the namespace scanning code makes that code
overly complicated and difficult to follow and doing that in
"special" device drivers leads to a great deal of confusion about
their role and to confusing interactions with the driver core (for
example, sysfs directories are created for those drivers, but they
are completely unnecessary and only increase the kernel's memory
footprint in vain).

Thomas Renninger 526b4af47f ACPI: Split out custom_method functionality into an own driver
With /sys/kernel/debug/acpi/custom_method root can write
to arbitrary memory and increase his priveleges, even if
these are restricted.

-> Make this an own debug .config option and warn about the
security issue in the config description.

-> Still keep acpi/debugfs.c which now only creates an empty
   /sys/kernel/debug/acpi directory. There might be other
   users of it later.

Huang Ying c413d76820 ACPI, APEI, Add PCIe AER error information printing support
The AER error information printing support is implemented in
drivers/pci/pcie/aer/aer_print.c.  So some string constants, functions
and macros definitions can be re-used without being exported.

The original PCIe AER error information printing function is not
re-used directly because the overall format is quite different.  And
changing the original printing format may make some original users'
scripts broken.
