      ACPI: Schedule /proc/acpi/event for removal · 14e04fb3

      Schedule /proc/acpi/event for removal in 6 months.
      
      Re-name acpi_bus_generate_event() to acpi_bus_generate_proc_event()
      to make sure there is no confusion that it is for /proc/acpi/event only.
      
      Add CONFIG_ACPI_PROC_EVENT to allow removal of /proc/acpi/event.
      There is no functional change if CONFIG_ACPI_PROC_EVENT=y

      ACPI: boot correctly with "nosmp" or "maxcpus=0" · 61ec7567
      Len Brown 提交于
      In MPS mode, "nosmp" and "maxcpus=0" boot a UP kernel with IOAPIC disabled.
      However, in ACPI mode, these parameters didn't completely disable
      the IO APIC initialization code and boot failed.
      
      init/main.c:
      	Disable the IO_APIC if "nosmp" or "maxcpus=0"
      	undefine disable_ioapic_setup() when it doesn't apply.
      
      i386:
      	delete ioapic_setup(), it was a duplicate of parse_noapic()
      	delete undefinition of disable_ioapic_setup()
      
      x86_64:
      	rename disable_ioapic_setup() to parse_noapic() to match i386
      	define disable_ioapic_setup() in header to match i386

      ACPI: thermal: create "thermal.act=" to disable or override active trip point · f8707ec9
      Len Brown 提交于
      thermal.act=-1 disables all active trip points
      in all ACPI thermal zones.
      
      thermal.act=C, where C > 0, overrides all lowest temperature
      active trip points in all thermal zones to C degrees Celsius.
      Raising this trip-point may allow you to keep your system silent
      up to a higher temperature.  However, it will not allow you to
      raise the lowest temperature trip point above the next higher
      trip point (if there is one).  Lowering this trip point may
      kick in the fan sooner.
      
      Note that overriding this trip-point will disable any BIOS attempts
      to implement hysteresis around the lowest temperature trip point.
      This may result in the fan starting and stopping frequently
      if temperature frequently crosses C.
      
      WARNING: raising trip points above the manufacturer's defaults
      may cause the system to run at higher temperature and shorten
      its life.

      ACPI: thermal: create "thermal.nocrt" to disable critical actions · f5487145
      Len Brown 提交于
      thermal.nocrt=1 disables actions on _CRT and _HOT
      ACPI thermal zone trip-points.  They will be marked
      as <disabled> in /proc/acpi/thermal_zone/*/trip_points.
      
      There are two cases where this option is used:
      
      1. Debugging a hot system crossing valid trip point.
      
         If your system fan is spinning at full speed,
         be sure that the vent is not clogged with dust.
         Many laptops have very fine thermal fins that are easily blocked.
      
         Check that the processor fan-sink is properly seated,
         has the proper thermal grease, and is really spinning.
      
         Check for fan related options in BIOS SETUP.
         Sometimes there is a performance vs quiet option.
         Defaults are generally the most conservative.
      
         If your fan is not spinning, yet /proc/acpi/fan/
         has files in it, please file a Linux/ACPI bug.
      
         WARNING: you risk shortening the lifetime of your
         hardware if you use this parameter on a hot system.
         Note that this refers to all system components,
         including the disk drive.
      
      2. Working around a cool system crossing critical
         trip point due to erroneous temperature reading.
      
         Try again with CONFIG_HWMON=n
         There is known potential for conflict between the
         the hwmon sub-system and the ACPI BIOS.
         If this fixes it, notify lm-sensors@lm-sensors.org
         and linux-acpi@vger.kernel.org
      
         Otherwise, file a Linux/ACPI bug, or notify
         just linux-acpi@vger.kernel.org.

      ACPI: thermal: create "thermal.psv=" to override passive trip points · a70cdc52
      Len Brown 提交于
      "thermal.psv=-1" disables passive trip points
      for all ACPI thermal zones.
      
      "thermal.psv=C", where 'C' is degrees Celsius,
      overrides all existing passive trip points
      for all ACPI thermal zones.
      
      thermal.psv is checked at module load time,
      and in response to trip-point change events.
      
      Note that if the system does not deliver thermal zone
      temperature change events near the new trip-point,
      then it will not be noticed.  To force your custom
      trip point to be noticed, you may need to enable polling:
      eg. thermal.tzp=3000 invokes polling every 5 minutes.
      
      Note that once passive thermal throttling is invoked,
      it has its own internal Thermal Sampling Period (_TSP),
      that is unrelated to _TZP.
      
      WARNING: disabling or raising a thermal trip point
      may result in increased running temperature and
      shorter hardware lifetime on some systems.

      ACPI: thermal: expose "thermal.tzp=" to set global polling frequency · 730ff34d
      Len Brown 提交于
      Thermal Zone Polling frequency (_TZP) is an optional ACPI object
      recommending the rate that the OS should poll the associated thermal zone.
      
      If _TZP is 0, no polling should be used.
      If _TZP is non-zero, then the platform recommends that
      the OS poll the thermal zone at the specified rate.
      The minimum period is 30 seconds.
      The maximum period is 5 minutes.
      
      (note _TZP and thermal.tzp units are in deci-seconds,
       so _TZP = 300 corresponds to 30 seconds)
      
      If _TZP is not present, ACPI 3.0b recommends that the
      thermal zone be polled at an "OS provided default frequency".
      
      However, common industry practice is:
      1. The BIOS never specifies any _TZP
      2. High volume OS's from this century never poll any thermal zones
      
      Ie. The OS depends on the platform's ability to
      provoke thermal events when necessary, and
      the "OS provided default frequency" is "never":-)
      
      There is a proposal that ACPI 4.0 be updated to reflect
      common industry practice -- ie. no _TZP, no polling.
      
      The Linux kernel already follows this practice --
      thermal zones are not polled unless _TZP is present and non-zero.
      
      But thermal zone polling is useful as a workaround for systems
      which have ACPI thermal control, but have an issue preventing
      thermal events.  Indeed, some Linux distributions still
      set a non-zero thermal polling frequency for this reason.
      
      But rather than ask the user to write a polling frequency
      into all the /proc/acpi/thermal_zone/*/polling_frequency
      files, here we simply document and expose the already
      existing module parameter to do the same at system level,
      to simplify debugging those broken platforms.
      
      Note that thermal.tzp is a module-load time parameter only.
