369d913b24 ACPI: Harden acpi_table_parse_entries() against BIOS bug
Parsing acpi table entries may fall into an infinite loop on a buggy BIOS
which has entry length=0 in acpi table.

Instead of kernel hang with few failure clue which leads to heavy lifting debug
effort, this patch hardens kernel boot by booting into non NUMA mode. The debug
info left in log buffer helps people identify the issue.

68ca406930 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.

49bf83a45f ACPI: fix "acpi=ht" boot option
We broke "acpi=ht" in 2.6.32 by disabling MADT parsing
for acpi=disabled.  e5b8fc6ac1
This also broke systems which invoked acpi=ht via DMI blacklist.

acpi=ht is a really ugly hack,
but restore it for those that still use it.

e5b8fc6ac1 ACPI: check acpi_disabled in acpi_table_parse() and acpi_table_parse_entries()
Allow consumers of the acpi_table_parse()/acpi_table_parse_entries() API
to gracefully handle the acpi_disabled=1 case via return value
rather than checking the global flag themselves.

7237d3de78 x86, ACPI: add support for x2apic ACPI extensions
All logical processors with APIC ID values of 255 and greater will have their
APIC reported through Processor X2APIC structure (type-9 entry type) and all
logical processors with APIC ID less than 255 will have their APIC reported
through legacy Processor Local APIC (type-0 entry type) only. This is the
same case even for NMI structure reporting.
    
The Processor X2APIC Affinity structure provides the association between the
X2APIC ID of a logical processor and the proximity domain to which the logical
processor belongs.
    
For OSPM, Procssor IDs outside the 0-254 range are to be declared as Device()
objects in the ACPI namespace.

7d97277b75 acpi/x86: introduce __apci_map_table, v4
to prevent wrongly overwriting fixmap that still want to use.

ACPI used to rely on low mappings being all linearly mapped and
grew a habit: it never really unmapped certain kinds of tables
after use.

This can cause problems - for example the hypothetical case
when some spurious access still references it.

v2: remove prev_map and prev_size in __apci_map_table
v3: let acpi_os_unmap_memory() call early_iounmap too, so remove extral calling to
early_acpi_os_unmap_memory
v4: fix typo in one acpi_get_table_with_size calling

9e3a9d1ed8 ACPI: disable ACPI cleanly when bad RSDP found
When ACPI is disabled in the BIOS of this VIA C3 box,
it invalidates the RSDP, which Linux notices:

ACPI Error (tbxfroot-0218): A valid RSDP was not found [20080926]

Bug Linux neglected to disable ACPI at that stage,
and later scribbled on smp_found_config:

ACPI: No APIC-table, disabling MPS

But this box doesn't run well in legacy PIC mode,
it needed IOAPIC mode to perform correctly:

http://lkml.org/lkml/2009/2/5/39

So exit ACPI mode cleanly when we first detect
that it is hopeless.

a1fdcc0d27 ACPI: Add support to parse 2nd MADT
When a BIOS bug presents multiple APIC/MADTs,
Linux currently uses the 1st and ignores the 2nd.

But some machines work better if we use the 2nd.

http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7465

Add a warning and boot parameter "acpi_apic_instance=2"
to allow parsing the 2nd.

No change to default behaviour in this patch.

cd354f1ae7 [PATCH] remove many unneeded #includes of sched.h
After Al Viro (finally) succeeded in removing the sched.h #include in module.h
recently, it makes sense again to remove other superfluous sched.h includes.
There are quite a lot of files which include it but don't actually need
anything defined in there.  Presumably these includes were once needed for
macros that used to live in sched.h, but moved to other header files in the
course of cleaning it up.

To ease the pain, this time I did not fiddle with any header files and only
removed #includes from .c-files, which tend to cause less trouble.

Compile tested against 2.6.20-rc2 and 2.6.20-rc2-mm2 (with offsets) on alpha,
arm, i386, ia64, mips, powerpc, and x86_64 with allnoconfig, defconfig,
allmodconfig, and allyesconfig as well as a few randconfigs on x86_64 and all
configs in arch/arm/configs on arm.  I also checked that no new warnings were
introduced by the patch (actually, some warnings are removed that were emitted
by unnecessarily included header files).

6eb87fed52 ACPI: acpi_table_parse_madt_family() is not MADT specific
acpi_table_parse_madt_family() is also used to parse SRAT entries.
So re-name it to acpi_table_parse_entries(), and re-name the
madt-specific variables within it accordingly.

cosmetic only.

793c2388ca ACPI: ACPICA 20060331
Implemented header file support for the following
additional ACPI tables: ASF!, BOOT, CPEP, DBGP, MCFG, SPCR,
SPMI, TCPA, and WDRT. With this support, all current and
known ACPI tables are now defined in the ACPICA headers and
are available for use by device drivers and other software.

Implemented support to allow tables that contain ACPI
names with invalid characters to be loaded. Previously,
this would cause the table load to fail, but since
there are several known cases of such tables on
existing machines, this change was made to enable
ACPI support for them. Also, this matches the
behavior of the Microsoft ACPI implementation.
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=147621

Fixed a couple regressions introduced during the memory
optimization in the 20060317 release. The namespace
node definition required additional reorganization and
an internal datatype that had been changed to 8-bit was
restored to 32-bit. (Valery Podrezov)

Fixed a problem where a null pointer passed to
acpi_ut_delete_generic_state() could be passed through
to acpi_os_release_object which is unexpected. Such
null pointers are now trapped and ignored, matching
the behavior of the previous implementation before the
deployment of acpi_os_release_object().  (Valery Podrezov,
Fiodor Suietov)

Fixed a memory mapping leak during the deletion of
a SystemMemory operation region where a cached memory
mapping was not deleted. This became a noticeable problem
for operation regions that are defined within frequently
used control methods. (Dana Meyers)

Reorganized the ACPI table header files into two main
files: one for the ACPI tables consumed by the ACPICA core,
and another for the miscellaneous ACPI tables that are
consumed by the drivers and other software. The various
FADT definitions were merged into one common section and
three different tables (ACPI 1.0, 1.0+, and 2.0)

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.

Let it rip!
