This H/W error log driver (a.k.a eMCA driver) is implemented based on
http://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/architecture-and-technology/enhanced-mca-logging-xeon-paper.html

After errors are captured, more detailed platform specific information

On HP Folio 13-2000, the BIOS defines a CMOS RTC Operation Region and
the EC's _REG methord accesses that region.  Thus an appropriate
address space handler must be registered for that region before the
EC driver is loaded.

Introduce a mechanism for adding CMOS RTC address space handlers.
Register an ACPI scan handler for CMOS RTC devices such that, when
a device of that kind is detected during an ACPI namespace scan, a
common CMOS RTC operation region address space handler will be
installed for it.

Currently, drivers/acpi/device_pm.c depends on CONFIG_PM and all of
the functions defined in there are replaced with static inline stubs
if that option is unset.  However, CONFIG_PM means, roughly, "runtime
PM or suspend/hibernation support" and some of those functions are
useful regardless of that.  For example, they are used by the ACPI
fan driver for controlling fans and acpi_device_set_power() is called
during device removal.  Moreover, device initialization may depend on
setting device power states properly.

For these reasons, make the routines manipulating ACPI device power
states defined in drivers/acpi/device_pm.c available for CONFIG_PM
unset too.

Split the ACPI processor driver into two parts, one that is
non-modular, resides in the ACPI core and handles the enumeration
and hotplug of processors and one that implements the rest of the
existing processor driver functionality.

The non-modular part uses an ACPI scan handler object to enumerate
processors on the basis of information provided by the ACPI namespace
and to hook up with the common ACPI hotplug infrastructure.  It also
populates the ACPI handle of each processor device having a
corresponding object in the ACPI namespace, which allows the driver
proper to bind to those devices, and makes the driver bind to them
if it is readily available (i.e. loaded) when the scan handler's
.attach() routine is running.

There are a few reasons to make this change.

First, switching the ACPI processor driver to using the common ACPI
hotplug infrastructure reduces code duplication and size considerably,
even though a new file is created along with a header comment etc.

Second, since the common hotplug code attempts to offline devices
before starting the (non-reversible) removal procedure, it will abort
(and possibly roll back) hot-remove operations involving processors
if cpu_down() returns an error code for one of them instead of
continuing them blindly (if /sys/firmware/acpi/hotplug/force_remove
is unset).  That is a more desirable behavior than what the current
code does.

Finally, the separation of the scan/hotplug part from the driver
proper makes it possible to simplify the driver's .remove() routine,
because it doesn't need to worry about the possible cleanup related
to processor removal any more (the scan/hotplug part is responsible
for that now) and can handle device removal and driver removal
symmetricaly (i.e. as appropriate).

Some user-visible changes in sysfs are made (for example, the
'sysdev' link from the ACPI device node to the processor device's
directory is gone and a 'physical_node' link is present instead
and a corresponding 'firmware_node' is present in the processor
device's directory, the processor driver is now visible under
/sys/bus/cpu/drivers/ and bound to the processor device), but
that shouldn't affect the functionality that users care about
(frequency scaling, C-states and thermal management).

Devices on the Intel Lynxpoint Low Power Subsystem (LPSS) have some
common features that aren't shared with any other platform devices,
including the clock and LTR (Latency Tolerance Reporting) registers.
It is better to handle those features in common code than to bother
device drivers with doing that (I/O functionality-wise the LPSS
devices are generally compatible with other devices that don't
have those special registers and may be handled by the same drivers).

The clock registers of the LPSS devices are now taken care of by
the special clk-x86-lpss driver, but the MMIO mappings used for
accessing those registers can also be used for accessing the LTR
registers on those devices (LTR support for the Lynxpoint LPSS is
going to be added by a subsequent patch).  Thus it is convenient
to add a special ACPI scan handler for the Lynxpoint LPSS devices
that will create the MMIO mappings for accessing the clock (and
LTR in the future) registers and will register the LPSS devices'
clocks, so the clk-x86-lpss driver will only need to take care of
the main Lynxpoint LPSS clock.

Introduce a special ACPI scan handler for Intel Lynxpoint LPSS
devices as described above.  This also reduces overhead related to
browsing the ACPI namespace in search of the LPSS devices before the
registration of their clocks, removes some LPSS-specific (and
somewhat ugly) code from acpi_platform.c and shrinks the overall code
size slightly.

This patch adds support for this table. We go through all entries in the

There is one special resource in the table and it is the DMA request line

to the actual request line understood by the hardware. This range is passed

With ACPI 5 it is now possible to enumerate traditional SoC
peripherals, like serial bus controllers and slave devices behind
them.  These devices are typically based on IP-blocks used in many
existing SoC platforms and platform drivers for them may already
be present in the kernel tree.

To make driver "porting" more straightforward, add ACPI support to
the platform bus type.  Instead of writing ACPI "glue" drivers for
the existing platform drivers, register the platform bus type with
ACPI to create platform device objects for the drivers and bind the
corresponding ACPI handles to those platform devices.

This should allow us to reuse the existing platform drivers for the
devices in question with the minimum amount of modifications.

ACPI 4.0 spec adds the ACPI IPMI opregion, which means that the ACPI AML
code can also communicate with the BMC controller. This is to install
the ACPI IPMI opregion and enable the ACPI to access the BMC controller
through the IPMI message.

     It will create IPMI user interface for every IPMI device detected
in ACPI namespace and install the corresponding IPMI opregion space handler.
Then it can enable ACPI to access the BMC controller through the IPMI
message.

The following describes how to process the IPMI request in IPMI space handler:
    1. format the IPMI message based on the request in AML code.
    IPMI system address. Now the address type is SYSTEM_INTERFACE_ADDR_TYPE
    IPMI net function & command
    IPMI message payload
    2. send the IPMI message by using the function of ipmi_request_settime
    3. wait for the completion of IPMI message. It can be done in different
routes: One is in handled in IPMI user recv callback function. Another is
handled in timeout function.
    4. format the IPMI response and return it to ACPI AML code.

At the same time it also addes the module dependency. The ACPI IPMI opregion
will depend on the IPMI subsystem.

We discovered that at least one machine (HP Envy), methods in the DSDT
attempt to call external methods defined in a dynamically loaded SSDT.

Unfortunately, the DSDT methods we are trying to call are part of the
EC initialization, which happens very early, and the the dynamic SSDT
is only loaded when a processor _PDC method runs much later.

This results in namespace lookup errors for the (as of yet) undefined
methods.

Since Windows doesn't have any issues with this machine, we take it
as a hint that they must be evaluating _PDC much earlier than we are.

Thus, the proper thing for Linux to do should be to match the Windows
implementation more closely.

Provide a mechanism to call _PDC before we enable the EC. Doing so loads
the dynamic tables, and allows the EC to be enabled correctly.

The ACPI processor driver will still evaluate _PDC in its .add() method
to cover the hotplug case.

Feedback from Hidetoshi Seto and Kenji Kaneshige incorporated.  This
correctly handles PCI-X bridges, PCIe root ports and endpoints, and
prints debug messages when invalid/reserved types are found in the
HEST.  PCI devices not in domain/segment 0 are not represented in
HEST, thus will be ignored.

Today, the PCIe Advanced Error Reporting (AER) driver attaches itself
to every PCIe root port for which BIOS reports it should, via ACPI
_OSC.

However, _OSC alone is insufficient for newer BIOSes.  Part of ACPI
4.0 is the new APEI (ACPI Platform Error Interfaces) which is a way
for OS and BIOS to handshake over which errors for which components
each will handle.  One table in ACPI 4.0 is the Hardware Error Source
Table (HEST), where BIOS can define that errors for certain PCIe
devices (or all devices), should be handled by BIOS ("Firmware First
mode"), rather than be handled by the OS.

Dell PowerEdge 11G server BIOS defines Firmware First mode in HEST, so
that it may manage such errors, log them to the System Event Log, and
possibly take other actions.  The aer driver should honor this, and
not attach itself to devices noted as such.

Furthermore, Kenji Kaneshige reminded us to disallow changing the AER
registers when respecting Firmware First mode.  Platform firmware is
expected to manage these, and if changes to them are allowed, it could
break that firmware's behavior.

The HEST parsing code may be replaced in the future by a more
feature-rich implementation.  This patch provides the minimum needed
to prevent breakage until that implementation is available.

ACPI 4.0 created the logical "processor aggregator device" as
a mechinism for platforms to ask the OS to force otherwise busy
processors to enter (power saving) idle.

The intent is to lower power consumption to ride-out
transient electrical and thermal emergencies,
rather than powering off the server.

On platforms that can save more power/performance via P-states,
the platform will first exhaust P-states before forcing idle.
However, the relative benefit of P-states vs. idle states
is platform dependent, and thus this driver need not know
or care about it.

This driver does not use the kernel's CPU hot-plug mechanism
because after the transient emergency is over, the system must
be returned to its normal state, and hotplug would permanently
break both cpusets and binding.

So to force idle, the driver creates a power saving thread.
The scheduler will migrate the thread to the preferred CPU.
The thread has max priority and has SCHED_RR policy,
so it can occupy one CPU.  To save power, the thread will
invoke the deep C-state entry instructions.

To avoid starvation, the thread will sleep 5% of the time
time for every second (current RT scheduler has threshold
to avoid starvation, but if other CPUs are idle,
the CPU can borrow CPU timer from other,
which makes the mechanism not work here)

Vaidyanathan Srinivasan has proposed scheduler enhancements
to allow injecting idle time into the system.  This driver doesn't
depend on those enhancements, but could cut over to them
when they are available.

Peter Z. does not favor upstreaming this driver until
the those scheduler enhancements are in place.  However,
we favor upstreaming this driver now because it is useful
now, and can be enhanced over time.

things in the kernel can initialize in parallel to this 300 msec.

As part of this, the battery driver had to move to the back
of the ACPI init order (hence the Makefile change).
Without this move, the next ACPI driver would just block
on the ACPI/devicee layer semaphores until the battery driver was
done anyway, not gaining any boot time.

Impact: cleanup

Rather than overriding MODULE_PARAM_PREFIX, build via acpi.o so
KBUILD_MODNAME is set to "acpi".

This is the logical way to do it, even though acpi cannot be a module
due to these config options being bool.  Those parts of ACPI which can
be modular are not built into the acpi "module".

This patch removes the suggestion that ec.o link order is important,
because it doesn't matter since acpi_ec_init() is no longer an initcall.
And it puts together most of the core modules that are not configurable.
