ACPI/x86: revert 'x86, acpi: Call acpi_enter_sleep_state via an asmlinkage C function from assembler'

2012-07-31T01:10:16+00:00

cd74257b974d6d26442c97891c4d05772748b177
patched up GTS/BFS -- a feature we want to remove.
So revert it (by hand, due to conflict in sleep.h)
to prepare for GTS/BFS removal.

ACPI: Add a quirk for "AMILO PRO V2030" to ignore the timer overriding

2012-06-11T21:29:44+00:00

This is the 2nd part of fix for kernel bugzilla 40002:
    "IRQ 0 assigned to VGA"
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=40002

The root cause is the buggy FW, whose ACPI tables assign the GSI 16
to 2 irqs 0 and 16(VGA), and the VGA is the right owner of GSI 16.
So add a quirk to ignore the irq0 overriding GSI 16 for the
FUJITSU SIEMENS AMILO PRO V2030 platform will solve this issue.

ACPI: Remove one board specific WARN when ignoring timer overriding

2012-06-11T21:29:38+00:00

Current WARN msg is only for the ati_ixp4x0 board, while this function
is used by mulitple platforms. So this one board specific warning
is not appropriate any more.

ACPI: Make acpi_skip_timer_override cover all source_irq==0 cases

2012-06-11T21:29:30+00:00

Currently when acpi_skip_timer_override is set, it only cover the
(source_irq == 0 && global_irq == 2) cases. While there is also
platform which need use this option and its global_irq is not 2.
This patch will extend acpi_skip_timer_override to cover all
timer overriding cases as long as the source irq is 0.

This is the first part of a fix to kernel bug bugzilla 40002:
	"IRQ 0 assigned to VGA"

Merge branch 'x86-trampoline-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip

2012-05-30T03:14:53+00:00

Pull x86 trampoline rework from H. Peter Anvin:
 "This code reworks all the "trampoline"/"realmode" code (various bits
  that need to live in the first megabyte of memory, most but not all of
  which runs in real mode at some point) in the kernel into a single
  object.  The main reason for doing this is that it eliminates the last
  place in the kernel where we needed pages to be mapped RWX.  This code
  separates all that code into proper R/RW/RX pages."

Fix up conflicts in arch/x86/kernel/Makefile (mca removed next to reboot
code), and arch/x86/kernel/reboot.c (reboot code moved around in one
branch, modified in this one), and arch/x86/tools/relocs.c (mostly same
code came in earlier due to working around the ld bugs just before the
3.4 release).

Also remove stale x86-relocs entry from scripts/.gitignore as per Peter
Anvin.

Merge branch 'delete-mca' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/paulg/linux

2012-05-24T00:12:06+00:00

Pull the MCA deletion branch from Paul Gortmaker:
 "It was good that we could support MCA machines back in the day, but
  realistically, nobody is using them anymore.  They were mostly limited
  to 386-sx 16MHz CPU and some 486 class machines and never more than
  64MB of RAM.  Even the enthusiast hobbyist community seems to have
  dried up close to ten years ago, based on what you can find searching
  various websites dedicated to the relatively short lived hardware.

  So lets remove the support relating to CONFIG_MCA.  There is no point
  carrying this forward, wasting cycles doing routine maintenance on it;
  wasting allyesconfig build time on validating it, wasting I/O on git
  grep'ping over it, and so on."

Let's see if anybody screams.  It generally has compiled, and James
Bottomley pointed out that there was a MCA extension from NCR that
allowed for up to 4GB of memory and PPro-class machines.  So in *theory*
there may be users out there.

But even James (technically listed as a maintainer) doesn't actually
have a system, and while Alan Cox claims to have a machine in his cellar
that he offered to anybody who wants to take it off his hands, he didn't
argue for keeping MCA support either.

So we could bring it back.  But somebody had better speak up and talk
about how they have actually been using said MCA hardware with modern
kernels for us to do that.  And David already took the patch to delete
all the networking driver code (commit a5e371f61ad3: "drivers/net:
delete all code/drivers depending on CONFIG_MCA").

* 'delete-mca' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/paulg/linux:
  MCA: delete all remaining traces of microchannel bus support.
  scsi: delete the MCA specific drivers and driver code
  serial: delete the MCA specific 8250 support.
  arm: remove ability to select CONFIG_MCA

MCA: delete all remaining traces of microchannel bus support.

2012-05-17T23:06:13+00:00

Hardware with MCA bus is limited to 386 and 486 class machines
that are now 20+ years old and typically with less than 32MB
of memory.  A quick search on the internet, and you see that
even the MCA hobbyist/enthusiast community has lost interest
in the early 2000 era and never really even moved ahead from
the 2.4 kernels to the 2.6 series.

This deletes anything remaining related to CONFIG_MCA from core
kernel code and from the x86 architecture.  There is no point in
carrying this any further into the future.

One complication to watch for is inadvertently scooping up
stuff relating to machine check, since there is overlap in
the TLA name space (e.g. arch/x86/boot/mca.c).

x86, realmode: flattened rm hierachy

2012-05-08T18:48:45+00:00

Simplified hierarchy under rm directory to a flat
directory because it is not anymore really justified
to have own directory for wakeup code. It only adds
more complexity.
