This constitutes a major rewrite and restructuring of the FADT tests
for ACPI. There is now a compliance test for every field that we can
test. Some we cannot test since any possible value in the field is
also an allowed value.
In some cases, the tests are an extension of existing tests -- for the
PM blocks, SMI_CMD and the GPE blocks, for example. In the rest, these
are new tests, and all of these are part of what used to be a much smaller
test1. The original test2 and test3 are almost entirely intact since they
did some solid testing of semantics across several related fields.
The largest structural change is around reduced hardware mode. There is
now a test specific to that mode verifying that all of the fields in the
FADT that are to be ignored are set to zero. Further, tests that are
irrelevant to reduced hardware mode are skipped when we have tables in
that mode.
Some of the patches are simply to enable compiling the FADT tests on
non-x86 architectures; they were completely disabled previously. I did
attempt to break up the patches into reasonable chunks but some of them
still may have ended up fairly large.
This has been tested on arm64 and x86-64, using arm64 and x86 ACPI tables.
I am sure the testing has not been exhaustive; there are a *lot* of fields
in the FADT.
Al Stone (21):
FADT: enable compiling on non-x86 architectures
FADT: non-x86 machines need an FADT but x86 can survive without one

2.5.0
From: Fu Wei <fu.wei(a)linaro.org>
This patchset:
(1)Introduce Documentation/devicetree/bindings/watchdog/sbsa-gwdt.txt
for FDT info of SBSA Generic Watchdog, and give two examples of
adding SBSA Generic Watchdog device node into the dts files:
foundation-v8.dts and amd-seattle-soc.dtsi.
(2)Introduce ARM SBSA watchdog driver:
a.Use linux kernel watchdog framework;
b.Work with FDT on ARM64;
c.Support getting timeout from parameter and FDT at the driver
init stage.
d.The driver works in two modes:
(1) single stage timeout (ignore WS0 interrupt)
(2) two stages timeout (register WS0 interrupt, do panic in routine)
e.User can config working mode by module parameter "action".
This patchset has been tested with watchdog daemon
(ACPI/FDT, module/build-in) on the following platforms:
(1)ARM Foundation v8 model
(2)AMD Seattle platform
This patchset has been tested with kdump successfully.
Changelog:
v11:Merge patch 4 and 5.

2.5.0
Add in several tests that extend the testing done on the RSDP. If these
tests are all passed, the RSDP being examined should be compliant with
the ACPI 6.0 spec.
As part of that, when creating a dummy RSDP to substitute for one that
cannot be read or found, use either RsdtAddress or XsdtAddress as described
in the spec. For non-arm64, either can be used, but for arm64, only the
XsdtAddress is to be used.
Finally, update the regression tests for RSDP.
Changes for v2:
-- Clean up failure messages to be more like expected messages
(per Alex Hung)
-- Bodge up both RSDT and XSDT pointers on x86 (Alex Hung)
Al Stone (5):
RSDP: minor cleanups to rsdp.c for checkpatch issues
utilities: add a helper function for printing out architecture names
ACPI tables: when bodging up an RSDP, do the right thing for the arch
ACPI RSDP: flesh out the tests to check for full spec compliance.

2.5.0
NB: I'm only sending this to a small audience for now to get some initial
feedback. If I've missed someone you think might be useful, feel free to
pass this on.
The ACPI 6.1 specification was recently released at the end of January 2016,
but the arm64 kernel documentation for the use of ACPI was written for the
5.1 version of the spec. There were significant additions to the spec that
had not yet been mentioned -- for example, the 6.0 mechanisms added to make
it easier to define processors and low power idle states, as well as the
6.1 addition allowing regular interrupts (not just from GPIO) be used to
signal ACPI general purpose events.
This patch reflects going back through and examining the specs in detail
and updating content appropriately. Whilst there, a few odds and ends of
typos were caught as well. This brings the documentation up to date with
ACPI 6.1 for arm64.

ACPI Event Model
----------------
Do not use GPE block devices; these are not supported in the hardware reduced
profile used by arm64. Since there are no GPE blocks defined for use on ARM
-platforms, GPIO-signaled interrupts should be used for creating system events.
+platforms, ACPI events must be signaled differently.
+
+There are two options: GPIO-signaled interrupts (Section 5.6.5), and
+interrupt-signaled events (Section 5.6.9). Interrupt-signaled events are a
+new feature in the ACPI 6.1 specification. Either -- or both -- can be used
+on a given platform, and which to use may be dependent of limitations in any
+given SoC. If possible, interrupt-signaled events are recommended.
ACPI Processor Control
----------------------
-Section 8 of the ACPI specification is currently undergoing change that
-should be completed in the 6.0 version of the specification. Processor
-performance control will be handled differently for arm64 at that point
-in time. Processor aggregator devices (section 8.5) will not be used,
-for example, but another similar mechanism instead.
-
-While UEFI constrains what we can say until the release of 6.0, it is
-recommended that CPPC (8.4.5) be used as the primary model. This will
-still be useful into the future. C-states and P-states will still be
-provided, but most of the current design work appears to favor CPPC.
+Section 8 of the ACPI specification changed significantly in version 6.0.
+Processors should now be defined as Device objects with _HID ACPI0007; do
+not use the deprecated Processor statement in ASL. All multiprocessor systems
+should also define a hierarchy of processors, done with Processor Container
+Devices (see Section 8.4.3.1, _HID ACPI0010); do not use processor aggregator
+devices (Section 8.5) to describe processor topology. Section 8.4 of the
+specification describes the semantics of these object definitions and how
+they interrelate.
+
+Most importantly, the processor hierarchy defined also defines the low power
+idle states that are available to the platform, along with the rules for
+determining which processors can be turned on or off and the circumstances
+that control that. Without this information, the processors will run in
+whatever power state they were left in by UEFI.
+
+Note too, that the processor Device objects defined and the entries in the
+MADT for GICs are expected to be in sychronization. The _UID of the Device
+object must correspond to processor IDs used in the MADT.
+
+It is recommended that CPPC (8.4.5) be used as the primary model for processor
+performance control on arm64. C-states and P-states may become available at
+some point in the future, but most current design work appears to favor CPPC.
Further, it is essential that the ARMv8 SoC provide a fully functional
implementation of PSCI; this will be the only mechanism supported by ACPI
-to control CPU power state (including secondary CPU booting).

starting the daemon itself. These are the patches for those fixes
(they're already in the 0.5.6 Debian package).

Changes in V2: Fixed compilation error on i386
This series introduces changes to reduce the time required to send a frequency
transition requests to the platform while using the cppc-cpufreq driver.
With these changes we see significant improvement in the average time to send
freq. transition request to the platform. Profiling on an ARM platform showed
that the average transaction time per request reduced from 200us to under 20us.

2. Move non-arch specific bits to the core code.
3. Use MMCONFIG code and implement generic ACPI based PCI host controller driver.
4. Enable above driver on ARM64
Patches has been built on top of 4.4 and can be found here:
git@github.com:semihalf-nowicki-tomasz/linux.git (pci-acpi-v3)
NOTE, this patch set depends on Matthew's patches:
http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-pci/msg45950.htmlhttps://github.com/Vality/linux/tree/pci-fixes
This has been tested on Cavium ThunderX server and QEMU.
Any help in reviewing and testing is very appreciated.
v2 -> v3
- fix legacy IRQ assigning and IO ports registration
- remove reference to arch specific companion device for ia64
- move ACPI PCI host controller driver to pci_root.c
- drop generic domain assignment for x86 and ia64 as I am not
able to run all necessary test variants
- drop patch which cleaned legacy IRQ assignment since it belongs to
Mathew's series:
https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/557504/
- extend MCFG quirk code
- rebased to 4.4
v1 -> v2
- moved non-arch specific piece of code to dirver/acpi/ directory
- fixed IO resource handling
- introduced PCI config accessors quirks matching
- moved ACPI_COMPANION_SET to generic code
Liu Jiang (1):
ACPI, PCI: Refine the way to handle translation_offset for ACPI
resources
Tomasz Nowicki (20):
x86, pci: Reorder logic of pci_mmconfig_insert() function
x86, pci, acpi: Move arch-agnostic MMCONFIG (aka ECAM) and ACPI code
out of arch/x86/ directory
pci, acpi, mcfg: Provide generic implementation of MCFG code
initialization.
x86, pci: mmconfig_{32,64}.c code refactoring - remove code
duplication.
x86, pci, ecam: mmconfig_64.c becomes default implementation for ECAM
driver.
XEN / PCI: Remove the dependence on arch x86 when PCI_MMCONFIG=y
pci, acpi, mcfg: Provide default RAW ACPI PCI config space accessors.
arm64, acpi: Use empty PCI config space accessors from mcfg.c file.
pci, acpi, ecam: Add flag to indicate whether ECAM region was hot
added or not.
x86, pci: Cleanup platform specific MCFG data using previously added
ECAM hot_added flag.
pci, acpi: Move ACPI host bridge device companion assignment to core
code.
x86, ia64, pci: Remove ACPI companion device from platform specific
data.
pci, acpi: Provide generic way to assign bus domain number.
x86, ia64: Include acpi_pci_{add|remove}_bus to the default
pcibios_{add|remove}_bus implementation.
acpi, mcfg: Implement two calls that might be used to inject/remove
MCFG region.
x86, acpi, pci: Use equivalent function introduced in previous patch.
acpi, mcfg: Add default PCI config accessors implementation and
initial support for related quirks.
pci, acpi: Support for ACPI based generic PCI host controller init
pci, acpi: Match PCI config space accessors against platfrom specific
quirks.
arm64, pci, acpi: Start using ACPI based PCI host bridge driver for
ARM64.
