This message happens when the package element list is longer than
the declared length of the package. Changed to an info message
because this condition is not actually an error. It is caused by
the BIOS attempting to truncate the package on the fly by adjusting
the package element count at the start of the package definition.

This interface is mainly intended (and implemented) for ACPI _PPC BIOS
frequency limitations, but other cpufreq drivers can also use it for
similar use-cases.
Why is this needed:
Currently it's not obvious why cpufreq got limited.
People see cpufreq/scaling_max_freq reduced, but this could have
happened by:
- any userspace prog writing to scaling_max_freq
- thermal limitations
- hardware (_PPC in ACPI case) limitiations
Therefore export bios_limit (in kHz) to:
- Point the user that it's the BIOS (broken or intended) which limits
frequency
- Export it as a sysfs interface for userspace progs.
While this was a rarely used feature on laptops, there will appear
more and more server implemenations providing "Green IT" features like
allowing the service processor to limit the frequency. People want
to know about HW/BIOS frequency limitations.
All ACPI P-state driven cpufreq drivers are covered with this patch:
- powernow-k8
- powernow-k7
- acpi-cpufreq
Tested with a patched DSDT which limits the first two cores (_PPC returns 1)
via _PPC, exposed by bios_limit:
# echo 2200000 >cpu2/cpufreq/scaling_max_freq
# cat cpu*/cpufreq/scaling_max_freq
2600000
2600000
2200000
2200000
# #scaling_max_freq shows general user/thermal/BIOS limitations
# cat cpu*/cpufreq/bios_limit
2600000
2600000
2800000
2800000
# #bios_limit only shows the HW/BIOS limitation

According to the ACPI spec(section 8.4.4.3) OSPM should convey the _PPC
evaluations status to the platform if there exists the _OST object.
The _OST contains two arguments:
The first is the PERFORMANCE notificatin event.
The second is the status of _PPC object.
OSPM will convey the _PPC evaluation status to the platform.
Of course when the module parameter of "ignore_ppc" is added, OSPM won't
evaluate the _PPC object. But it will call the _OST object.
At the same time the _OST object will be evaluated only when the PERFORMANCE
notification event is received.

Users can force a passive trip point for a thermal zone that does not

It's useful to display such trip points in /proc/acpi/thermal_zone.

Annote acpi_processor_add with cpuinit since it calls a cpuinit function
acpi_processor_power_init and fixes a section mismatch warning.
We were warned by the following warning:
LD drivers/acpi/processor.o
WARNING: drivers/acpi/processor.o(.text+0x1829): Section mismatch in
reference from the function acpi_processor_add() to the function
.cpuinit.text:acpi_processor_power_init()
The function acpi_processor_add() references
the function __cpuinit acpi_processor_power_init().
This is often because acpi_processor_add lacks a __cpuinit
annotation or the annotation of acpi_processor_power_init is wrong.

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.

proc.c and video.c are a bit sloppy around types and style,
confusing gcc for a new feature that'll be in 2.6.33 and will
cause a warning on the current code.
This patch changes
if (foo + 1 > sizeof bar)
into
if (foo >= sizeof(bar))
which is more kernel-style.
it also changes a variable in proc.c to unsigned; it gets assigned
a value from an unsigned type, and is then only compared for > not
for negative, so using unsigned is just outright the right type

Currently a video bus device must (beside other criteria) define _DOD and
_DOS methods to be considered a video device.
Some broken BIOSes prevented working backlight control by only defining both
for one (non-existing bus) and only _DOD for the rest. With this patch in
place the other bus definitions were considered too and backlight control
started to work again.

acpi_get_pci_dev() may be called for a non-PCI device, in which case
it should return NULL. However, it assumes that every handle it
finds in the ACPI CA name space, between given device handle and the
PCI root bridge handle, corresponds to a PCI-to-PCI bridge with an
existing secondary bus. For this reason, when it finds a struct
pci_dev object corresponding to one of them, it doesn't check if
its 'subordinate' field is a valid pointer. This obviously leads to
a NULL pointer dereference if acpi_get_pci_dev() is called for a
non-PCI device with a PCI parent which is not a bridge.
To fix this issue make acpi_get_pci_dev() check if pdev->subordinate
is not NULL for every device it finds on the path between the root
bridge and the device it's supposed to get to and return NULL if the
"target" device cannot be found.

This is the counterpart to "x86: export k8 physical topology" for
SRAT. It is not as invasive because the acpi code already seperates
node setup into detection and registration steps, with the
exception of registering e820 active regions in
acpi_numa_memory_affinity_init(). This is now moved to
acpi_scan_nodes() if NUMA emulation is disabled or deferred.
acpi_numa_init() now returns a value which specifies whether an
underlying SRAT was located. If so, that topology can be used by
the emulation code to interleave emulated nodes over physical nodes
or to register the nodes for ACPI.
acpi_get_nodes() may now be used to export the srat physical
topology of the machine for NUMA emulation.

I was recently lucky enough to get a 64-CPU system. The processors
actually have T-states, so my kernel log ends up with 64 lines like:
ACPI: Processor [CPU0] (supports xx throttling states)
This is pretty useless clutter because
- this info is already available after boot from
/proc/acpi/processor/CPUnn/throttling
- there's also an ACPI_DEBUG_PRINT() in processor_throttling.c that
gives the same info on boot for anyone who *really* cares.
So just delete the code that prints the throttling states in
processor_core.c.

The ACPI /proc write() code takes an unsigned length argument like any write()
function, but then assigned it to a *signed* integer called "len".
Only after this is a sanity check for len done to make it not larger than 4.
Due to the type change a len < 0 is in principle also possible; this patch
adds a check for this.
