      ACPI / property: Add support for data-only subnodes · 445b0eb0
      由 Rafael J. Wysocki 提交于 
      In some cases, the information expressed via device properties is
hierarchical by nature.  For example, the properties of a composite
device consisting of multiple semi-dependent components may need
to be represented in the form of a tree of property data sets
corresponding to specific components of the device.

Unfortunately, using ACPI device objects for this purpose turns out
to be problematic, mostly due to the assumption made by some operating
systems (that platform firmware generally needs to work with) that
each device object in the ACPI namespace represents a device requiring
a separate driver.  That assumption leads to complications which
reportedly are impractically difficult to overcome and a different
approach is needed for the sake of interoperability.

The approach implemented here is based on extending _DSD via pointers
(links) to additional ACPI objects returning data packages formatted
in accordance with the _DSD formatting rules defined by Section 6.2.5
of ACPI 6.  Those additional objects are referred to as data-only
subnodes of the device object containing the _DSD pointing to them.

The links to them need to be located in a separate section of the
_DSD data package following UUID dbb8e3e6-5886-4ba6-8795-1319f52a966b
referred to as the Hierarchical Data Extension UUID as defined in [1].
Each of them is represented by a package of two strings.  The first
string in that package (the key) is regarded as the name of the
data-only subnode pointed to by the link.  The second string in it
(the target) is expected to hold the ACPI namespace path (possibly
utilizing the usual ACPI namespace search rules) of an ACPI object
evaluating to a data package extending the _DSD.

The device properties initialization code follows those links,
creates a struct acpi_data_node object for each of them to store
the data returned by the ACPI object pointed to by it and processes
those data recursively (which may lead to the creation of more
struct acpi_data_node objects if the returned data package contains
the Hierarchical Data Extension UUID section with more links in it).

All of the struct acpi_data_node objects are present until the the
ACPI device object containing the _DSD with links to them is deleted
and they are deleted along with that object.

      ACPI: Decouple ACPI idle and ACPI processor drivers · 5f05586c
      由 Ashwin Chaugule 提交于 
      This patch introduces a new Kconfig symbol, ACPI_PROCESSOR_IDLE,
which is auto selected by architectures which support the ACPI
based C states for CPU Idle management.

The processor_idle driver in its present form contains declarations
specific to X86 and IA64. Since there are no reasonable defaults
for other architectures e.g. ARM64, the driver is selected only for
X86 or IA64.

This helps in decoupling the ACPI processor_driver from the ACPI
processor_idle driver which is useful for the upcoming alternative
patchwork for controlling CPU Performance (CPPC) and CPU Idle (LPI).

      ACPI: Split out ACPI PSS from ACPI Processor driver · 239708a3
      由 Ashwin Chaugule 提交于 
      The ACPI processor driver is currently tied too closely
to the ACPI P-states (PSS) and other related constructs
for controlling CPU performance.

The newer ACPI specification (v5.1 onwards) introduces
alternative methods to PSS. These new mechanisms are
described within each ACPI Processor object and so they
need to be scanned whenever a new Processor object is detected.
This patch introduces a new Kconfig symbol to allow for
finer configurability among the two options for controlling
performance states. There is no change in functionality and
the option is auto-selected by the architectures which support it.

A future commit will introduce support for CPPC: A newer method of
controlling CPU performance. The OS is not expected to support
CPPC and PSS at the same time, so the Kconfig option lets us make
the two mutually exclusive at compile time.
