Pull ACPI updates from Rafael Wysocki:
"These rearrange the ACPI documentation by converting it to the .rst
format and splitting it into clear categories (admin guide, driver
API, firmware guide), switch over multiple users of a problematic
library function to a new better one, update the ACPICA code in the
kernel to a new upstream release, fix a few issues, improve power
device management diagnostics and do some cleanups.
Specifics:
- Convert the ACPI documentation in the kernel source tree to the
.rst format and split it into the admin guide, driver API and
firmware guide parts (Changbin Du).
- Add a PRP0001 usage example to the ACPI documentation (Thomas
Preston).
- Switch over the users of the acpi_dev_get_first_match_name()
library function which turned out to be problematic to a new,
better one called acpi_dev_get_first_match_dev() (Andy Shevchenko,
YueHaibing).
- Update the ACPICA code in the kernel to upstream release 20190405
including:
* Null pointer dereference check in acpi_ns_delete_node() (Erik
Schmauss).
* Multiple macro and function name changes (Bob Moore).
* Predefined operation region name fix (Erik Schmauss).
- Fix hibernation issue on systems using the Baytrail and Cherrytrail
Intel SoCs introduced during the 4.20 development cycle (Hans de
Goede).
- Add Sony VPCEH3U1E to the backlight quirk list (Zhang Rui).
- Fix button handling during system resume (Zhang Rui).
- Add a device PM diagnostic message (Rafael Wysocki).
- Clean up the code, comments and white space in multiple places
(Bjorn Helgaas, Gustavo Silva, Kefeng Wang)"

In principle, the format of the data may be arbitrary, but it has to +be identified by a UUID which must be recognized by the driver processing the +_DSD output. However, there are generic UUIDs defined for _DSD recognized by +the ACPI subsystem in the Linux kernel which automatically processes the data +packages associated with them and makes those data available to device drivers +as "device properties". + +A device property is a data item consisting of a string key and a value (of a +specific type) associated with it. + +In the ACPI _DSD context it is an element of the sub-package following the +generic Device Properties UUID in the _DSD return package as specified in the +Device Properties UUID definition document [1]_. + +It also may be regarded as the definition of a key and the associated data type +that can be returned by _DSD in the Device Properties UUID sub-package for a +given device. + +A property set is a collection of properties applicable to a hardware entity +like a device. In the ACPI _DSD context it is the set of all properties that +can be returned in the Device Properties UUID sub-package for the device in +question. + +Property subsets are nested collections of properties. Each of them is +associated with an additional key (name) allowing the subset to be referred +to as a whole (and to be treated as a separate entity). The canonical +representation of property subsets is via the mechanism specified in the +Hierarchical Properties Extension UUID definition document [2]_. + +Property sets may be hierarchical. That is, a property set may contain +multiple property subsets that each may contain property subsets of its +own and so on. + +General Validity Rule for Property Sets +======================================= + +Valid property sets must follow the guidance given by the Device Properties UUID +definition document [1]. + +_DSD properties are intended to be used in addition to, and not instead of, the +existing mechanisms defined by the ACPI specification. Therefore, as a rule, +they should only be used if the ACPI specification does not make direct +provisions for handling the underlying use case. It generally is invalid to +return property sets which do not follow that rule from _DSD in data packages +associated with the Device Properties UUID. + +Additional Considerations +------------------------- + +There are cases in which, even if the general rule given above is followed in +principle, the property set may still not be regarded as a valid one. + +For example, that applies to device properties which may cause kernel code +(either a device driver or a library/subsystem) to access hardware in a way +possibly leading to a conflict with AML methods in the ACPI namespace. In +particular, that may happen if the kernel code uses device properties to +manipulate hardware normally controlled by ACPI methods related to power +management, like _PSx and _DSW (for device objects) or _ON and _OFF (for power +resource objects), or by ACPI device disabling/enabling methods, like _DIS and +_SRS. + +In all cases in which kernel code may do something that will confuse AML as a +result of using device properties, the device properties in question are not +suitable for the ACPI environment and consequently they cannot belong to a valid +property set. + +Property Sets and Device Tree Bindings +====================================== + +It often is useful to make _DSD return property sets that follow Device Tree +bindings. + +In those cases, however, the above validity considerations must be taken into +account in the first place and returning invalid property sets from _DSD must be +avoided. For this reason, it may not be possible to make _DSD return a property +set following the given DT binding literally and completely. Still, for the +sake of code re-use, it may make sense to provide as much of the configuration +data as possible in the form of device properties and complement that with an +ACPI-specific mechanism suitable for the use case at hand. + +In any case, property sets following DT bindings literally should not be +expected to automatically work in the ACPI environment regardless of their +contents. + +References +========== + +..

To implement this, the AML tables issue +Notify(lid_device, 0x80) to notify the OSPMs whenever the lid state has +changed. The _LID control method for the lid device must be implemented to +report the "current" state of the lid as either "opened" or "closed". + +For most platforms, both the _LID method and the lid notifications are +reliable. However, there are exceptions. In order to work with these +exceptional buggy platforms, special restrictions and expections should be +taken into account. This document describes the restrictions and the +expections of the Linux ACPI lid device driver. + + +Restrictions of the returning value of the _LID control method +============================================================== + +The _LID control method is described to return the "current" lid state. +However the word of "current" has ambiguity, some buggy AML tables return +the lid state upon the last lid notification instead of returning the lid +state upon the last _LID evaluation. There won't be difference when the +_LID control method is evaluated during the runtime, the problem is its +initial returning value. When the AML tables implement this control method +with cached value, the initial returning value is likely not reliable. +There are platforms always retun "closed" as initial lid state. + +Restrictions of the lid state change notifications +================================================== + +There are buggy AML tables never notifying when the lid device state is +changed to "opened". Thus the "opened" notification is not guaranteed. But +it is guaranteed that the AML tables always notify "closed" when the lid +state is changed to "closed". The "closed" notification is normally used to +trigger some system power saving operations on Windows. Since it is fully +tested, it is reliable from all AML tables. + +Expections for the userspace users of the ACPI lid device driver +================================================================ + +The ACPI button driver exports the lid state to the userspace via the +following file:: + + /proc/acpi/button/lid/LID0/state + +This file actually calls the _LID control method described above. And given +the previous explanation, it is not reliable enough on some platforms. So +it is advised for the userspace program to not to solely rely on this file +to determine the actual lid state. + +The ACPI button driver emits the following input event to the userspace: + * SW_LID + +The ACPI lid device driver is implemented to try to deliver the platform +triggered events to the userspace. However, given the fact that the buggy +firmware cannot make sure "opened"/"closed" events are paired, the ACPI +button driver uses the following 3 modes in order not to trigger issues. + +If the userspace hasn't been prepared to ignore the unreliable "opened" +events and the unreliable initial state notification, Linux users can use +the following kernel parameters to handle the possible issues: + +A. button.lid_init_state=method: + When this option is specified, the ACPI button driver reports the + initial lid state using the returning value of the _LID control method + and whether the "opened"/"closed" events are paired fully relies on the + firmware implementation. + + This option can be used to fix some platforms where the returning value + of the _LID control method is reliable but the initial lid state + notification is missing. + + This option is the default behavior during the period the userspace + isn't ready to handle the buggy AML tables. + +B. button.lid_init_state=open: + When this option is specified, the ACPI button driver always reports the + initial lid state as "opened" and whether the "opened"/"closed" events + are paired fully relies on the firmware implementation. + + This may fix some platforms where the returning value of the _LID + control method is not reliable and the initial lid state notification is + missing. + +If the userspace has been prepared to ignore the unreliable "opened" events +and the unreliable initial state notification, Linux users should always +use the following kernel parameter: + +C. button.lid_init_state=ignore: + When this option is specified, the ACPI button driver never reports the + initial lid state and there is a compensation mechanism implemented to + ensure that the reliable "closed" notifications can always be delievered + to the userspace by always pairing "closed" input events with complement + "opened" input events. But there is still no guarantee that the "opened" + notifications can be delivered to the userspace when the lid is actually + opens given that some AML tables do not send "opened" notifications + reliably. + + In this mode, if everything is correctly implemented by the platform + firmware, the old userspace programs should still work. Otherwise, the + new userspace programs are required to work with the ACPI button driver. + This option will be the default behavior after the userspace is ready to + handle the buggy AML tables. diff --git a/Documentation/firmware-guide/acpi/aml-debugger.rst b/Documentation/firmware-guide/acpi/aml-debugger.rst new file mode 100644 index 000000000000..a889d43bc6c5 --- /dev/null +++ b/Documentation/firmware-guide/acpi/aml-debugger.rst @@ -0,0 +1,75 @@ +..

Setting "notrigger" + to 1 skips the trigger phase, which *may* allow the user to cause the + error in some other context by a simple access to the CPU, memory + location, or device that is the target of the error injection. Whether + this actually works depends on what operations the BIOS actually + includes in the trigger phase. + +BIOS versions based on the ACPI 4.0 specification have limited options +in controlling where the errors are injected. Your BIOS may support an +extension (enabled with the param_extension=1 module parameter, or boot +command line einj.param_extension=1). This allows the address and mask +for memory injections to be specified by the param1 and param2 files in +apei/einj. + +BIOS versions based on the ACPI 5.0 specification have more control over +the target of the injection. For processor-related errors (type 0x1, 0x2 +and 0x4), you can set flags to 0x3 (param3 for bit 0, and param1 and +param2 for bit 1) so that you have more information added to the error +signature being injected. The actual data passed is this:: + + memory_address = param1; + memory_address_range = param2; + apicid = param3; + pcie_sbdf = param4; + +For memory errors (type 0x8, 0x10 and 0x20) the address is set using +param1 with a mask in param2 (0x0 is equivalent to all ones). For PCI +express errors (type 0x40, 0x80 and 0x100) the segment, bus, device and +function are specified using param1:: + + 31 24 23 16 15 11 10 8 7 0 + +-------------------------------------------------+ + | segment | bus | device | function | reserved | + +-------------------------------------------------+ + +Anyway, you get the idea, if there's doubt just take a look at the code +in drivers/acpi/apei/einj.c. + +An ACPI 5.0 BIOS may also allow vendor-specific errors to be injected. +In this case a file named vendor will contain identifying information +from the BIOS that hopefully will allow an application wishing to use +the vendor-specific extension to tell that they are running on a BIOS +that supports it.

SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0 + +====== +Graphs +====== + +_DSD +==== + +_DSD (Device Specific Data) [7] is a predefined ACPI device +configuration object that can be used to convey information on +hardware features which are not specifically covered by the ACPI +specification [1][6]. There are two _DSD extensions that are relevant +for graphs: property [4] and hierarchical data extensions [5]. The +property extension provides generic key-value pairs whereas the +hierarchical data extension supports nodes with references to other +nodes, forming a tree. The nodes in the tree may contain properties as +defined by the property extension. The two extensions together provide +a tree-like structure with zero or more properties (key-value pairs) +in each node of the tree. + +The data structure may be accessed at runtime by using the device_* +and fwnode_* functions defined in include/linux/fwnode.h . + +Fwnode represents a generic firmware node object. It is independent on +the firmware type. In ACPI, fwnodes are _DSD hierarchical data +extensions objects. A device's _DSD object is represented by an +fwnode. + +The data structure may be referenced to elsewhere in the ACPI tables +by using a hard reference to the device itself and an index to the +hierarchical data extension array on each depth. + + +Ports and endpoints +=================== + +The port and endpoint concepts are very similar to those in Devicetree +[3]. A port represents an interface in a device, and an endpoint +represents a connection to that interface. + +All port nodes are located under the device's "_DSD" node in the hierarchical +data extension tree. The data extension related to each port node must begin +with "port" and must be followed by the "@" character and the number of the +port as its key. The target object it refers to should be called "PRTX", where +"X" is the number of the port. An example of such a package would be:: + + Package() { "port@4", PRT4 } + +Further on, endpoints are located under the port nodes. The hierarchical +data extension key of the endpoint nodes must begin with +"endpoint" and must be followed by the "@" character and the number of the +endpoint. The object it refers to should be called "EPXY", where "X" is the +number of the port and "Y" is the number of the endpoint. An example of such a +package would be:: + + Package() { "endpoint@0", EP40 } + +Each port node contains a property extension key "port", the value of which is +the number of the port. Each endpoint is similarly numbered with a property +extension key "reg", the value of which is the number of the endpoint. Port +numbers must be unique within a device and endpoint numbers must be unique +within a port. If a device object may only has a single port, then the number +of that port shall be zero. Similarly, if a port may only have a single +endpoint, the number of that endpoint shall be zero. + +The endpoint reference uses property extension with "remote-endpoint" property +name followed by a reference in the same package. Such references consist of +the remote device reference, the first package entry of the port data extension +reference under the device and finally the first package entry of the endpoint +data extension reference under the port. Individual references thus appear as:: + + Package() { device, "port@X", "endpoint@Y" } + +In the above example, "X" is the number of the port and "Y" is the number of +the endpoint. + +The references to endpoints must be always done both ways, to the +remote endpoint and back from the referred remote endpoint node. + +A simple example of this is show below:: + + Scope (\_SB.PCI0.I2C2) + { + Device (CAM0) + { + Name (_DSD, Package () { + ToUUID("daffd814-6eba-4d8c-8a91-bc9bbf4aa301"), + Package () { + Package () { "compatible", Package () { "nokia,smia" } }, + }, + ToUUID("dbb8e3e6-5886-4ba6-8795-1319f52a966b"), + Package () { + Package () { "port@0", PRT0 }, + } + }) + Name (PRT0, Package() { + ToUUID("daffd814-6eba-4d8c-8a91-bc9bbf4aa301"), + Package () { + Package () { "reg", 0 }, + }, + ToUUID("dbb8e3e6-5886-4ba6-8795-1319f52a966b"), + Package () { + Package () { "endpoint@0", EP00 }, + } + }) + Name (EP00, Package() { + ToUUID("daffd814-6eba-4d8c-8a91-bc9bbf4aa301"), + Package () { + Package () { "reg", 0 }, + Package () { "remote-endpoint", Package() { \_SB.PCI0.ISP, "port@4", "endpoint@0" } }, + } + }) + } + } + + Scope (\_SB.PCI0) + { + Device (ISP) + { + Name (_DSD, Package () { + ToUUID("dbb8e3e6-5886-4ba6-8795-1319f52a966b"), + Package () { + Package () { "port@4", PRT4 }, + } + }) + + Name (PRT4, Package() { + ToUUID("daffd814-6eba-4d8c-8a91-bc9bbf4aa301"), + Package () { + Package () { "reg", 4 }, /* CSI-2 port number */ + }, + ToUUID("dbb8e3e6-5886-4ba6-8795-1319f52a966b"), + Package () { + Package () { "endpoint@0", EP40 }, + } + }) + + Name (EP40, Package() { + ToUUID("daffd814-6eba-4d8c-8a91-bc9bbf4aa301"), + Package () { + Package () { "reg", 0 }, + Package () { "remote-endpoint", Package () { \_SB.PCI0.I2C2.CAM0, "port@0", "endpoint@0" } }, + } + }) + } + } + +Here, the port 0 of the "CAM0" device is connected to the port 4 of +the "ISP" device and vice versa. + + +References +========== + +[1] _DSD (Device Specific Data) Implementation Guide. + http://www.uefi.org/sites/default/files/resources/_DSD-implementation-guide-toplevel-1_1.htm, + referenced 2016-10-03. + +[2] Devicetree. http://www.devicetree.org, referenced 2016-10-03. + +[3] Documentation/devicetree/bindings/graph.txt + +[4] Device Properties UUID For _DSD. + http://www.uefi.org/sites/default/files/resources/_DSD-device-properties-UUID.pdf, + referenced 2016-10-04. + +[5] Hierarchical Data Extension UUID For _DSD. + http://www.uefi.org/sites/default/files/resources/_DSD-hierarchical-data-extension-UUID-v1.1.pdf, + referenced 2016-10-04. + +[6] Advanced Configuration and Power Interface Specification. + http://www.uefi.org/sites/default/files/resources/ACPI_6_1.pdf, + referenced 2016-10-04. + +[7] _DSD Device Properties Usage Rules. + :doc:`../DSD-properties-rules` diff --git a/Documentation/firmware-guide/acpi/enumeration.rst b/Documentation/firmware-guide/acpi/enumeration.rst new file mode 100644 index 000000000000..6b32b7be8c85 --- /dev/null +++ b/Documentation/firmware-guide/acpi/enumeration.rst @@ -0,0 +1,463 @@ +.. SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0 + +============================= +ACPI Based Device Enumeration +============================= + +ACPI 5 introduced a set of new resources (UartTSerialBus, I2cSerialBus, +SpiSerialBus, GpioIo and GpioInt) which can be used in enumerating slave +devices behind serial bus controllers. + +In addition we are starting to see peripherals integrated in the +SoC/Chipset to appear only in ACPI namespace. These are typically devices +that are accessed through memory-mapped registers. + +In order to support this and re-use the existing drivers as much as +possible we decided to do following: + + - Devices that have no bus connector resource are represented as + platform devices. + + - Devices behind real busses where there is a connector resource + are represented as struct spi_device or struct i2c_device + (standard UARTs are not busses so there is no struct uart_device). + +As both ACPI and Device Tree represent a tree of devices (and their +resources) this implementation follows the Device Tree way as much as +possible. + +The ACPI implementation enumerates devices behind busses (platform, SPI and +I2C), creates the physical devices and binds them to their ACPI handle in +the ACPI namespace. + +This means that when ACPI_HANDLE(dev) returns non-NULL the device was +enumerated from ACPI namespace. This handle can be used to extract other +device-specific configuration. There is an example of this below. + +Platform bus support +==================== + +Since we are using platform devices to represent devices that are not +connected to any physical bus we only need to implement a platform driver +for the device and add supported ACPI IDs. If this same IP-block is used on +some other non-ACPI platform, the driver might work out of the box or needs +some minor changes. + +Adding ACPI support for an existing driver should be pretty +straightforward. Here is the simplest example:: + + #ifdef CONFIG_ACPI + static const struct acpi_device_id mydrv_acpi_match[] = { + /* ACPI IDs here */ + { } + }; + MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE(acpi, mydrv_acpi_match); + #endif + + static struct platform_driver my_driver = { + ... + .driver = { + .acpi_match_table = ACPI_PTR(mydrv_acpi_match), + }, + }; + +If the driver needs to perform more complex initialization like getting and +configuring GPIOs it can get its ACPI handle and extract this information +from ACPI tables. + +DMA support +=========== + +DMA controllers enumerated via ACPI should be registered in the system to +provide generic access to their resources. For example, a driver that would +like to be accessible to slave devices via generic API call +dma_request_slave_channel() must register itself at the end of the probe +function like this:: + + err = devm_acpi_dma_controller_register(dev, xlate_func, dw); + /* Handle the error if it's not a case of !CONFIG_ACPI */ + +and implement custom xlate function if needed (usually acpi_dma_simple_xlate() +is enough) which converts the FixedDMA resource provided by struct +acpi_dma_spec into the corresponding DMA channel. A piece of code for that case +could look like:: + + #ifdef CONFIG_ACPI + struct filter_args { + /* Provide necessary information for the filter_func */ + ... + }; + + static bool filter_func(struct dma_chan *chan, void *param) + { + /* Choose the proper channel */ + ... + } + + static struct dma_chan *xlate_func(struct acpi_dma_spec *dma_spec, + struct acpi_dma *adma) + { + dma_cap_mask_t cap; + struct filter_args args; + + /* Prepare arguments for filter_func */ + ... + return dma_request_channel(cap, filter_func, &args); + } + #else + static struct dma_chan *xlate_func(struct acpi_dma_spec *dma_spec, + struct acpi_dma *adma) + { + return NULL; + } + #endif + +dma_request_slave_channel() will call xlate_func() for each registered DMA +controller. In the xlate function the proper channel must be chosen based on +information in struct acpi_dma_spec and the properties of the controller +provided by struct acpi_dma. + +Clients must call dma_request_slave_channel() with the string parameter that +corresponds to a specific FixedDMA resource. By default "tx" means the first +entry of the FixedDMA resource array, "rx" means the second entry. The table +below shows a layout:: + + Device (I2C0) + { + ... + Method (_CRS, 0, NotSerialized) + { + Name (DBUF, ResourceTemplate () + { + FixedDMA (0x0018, 0x0004, Width32bit, _Y48) + FixedDMA (0x0019, 0x0005, Width32bit, ) + }) + ... + } + } + +So, the FixedDMA with request line 0x0018 is "tx" and next one is "rx" in +this example. + +In robust cases the client unfortunately needs to call +acpi_dma_request_slave_chan_by_index() directly and therefore choose the +specific FixedDMA resource by its index. + +SPI serial bus support +====================== + +Slave devices behind SPI bus have SpiSerialBus resource attached to them. +This is extracted automatically by the SPI core and the slave devices are +enumerated once spi_register_master() is called by the bus driver. + +Here is what the ACPI namespace for a SPI slave might look like:: + + Device (EEP0) + { + Name (_ADR, 1) + Name (_CID, Package() { + "ATML0025", + "AT25", + }) + ... + Method (_CRS, 0, NotSerialized) + { + SPISerialBus(1, PolarityLow, FourWireMode, 8, + ControllerInitiated, 1000000, ClockPolarityLow, + ClockPhaseFirst, "\\_SB.PCI0.SPI1",) + } + ... + +The SPI device drivers only need to add ACPI IDs in a similar way than with +the platform device drivers. Below is an example where we add ACPI support +to at25 SPI eeprom driver (this is meant for the above ACPI snippet):: + + #ifdef CONFIG_ACPI + static const struct acpi_device_id at25_acpi_match[] = { + { "AT25", 0 }, + { }, + }; + MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE(acpi, at25_acpi_match); + #endif + + static struct spi_driver at25_driver = { + .driver = { + ... + .acpi_match_table = ACPI_PTR(at25_acpi_match), + }, + }; + +Note that this driver actually needs more information like page size of the +eeprom etc. but at the time writing this there is no standard way of +passing those. One idea is to return this in _DSM method like:: + + Device (EEP0) + { + ... + Method (_DSM, 4, NotSerialized) + { + Store (Package (6) + { + "byte-len", 1024, + "addr-mode", 2, + "page-size, 32 + }, Local0) + + // Check UUIDs etc. + + Return (Local0) + } + +Then the at25 SPI driver can get this configuration by calling _DSM on its +ACPI handle like:: + + struct acpi_buffer output = { ACPI_ALLOCATE_BUFFER, NULL }; + struct acpi_object_list input; + acpi_status status; + + /* Fill in the input buffer */ + + status = acpi_evaluate_object(ACPI_HANDLE(&spi->dev), "_DSM", + &input, &output); + if (ACPI_FAILURE(status)) + /* Handle the error */ + + /* Extract the data here */ + + kfree(output.pointer); + +I2C serial bus support +====================== + +The slaves behind I2C bus controller only need to add the ACPI IDs like +with the platform and SPI drivers. The I2C core automatically enumerates +any slave devices behind the controller device once the adapter is +registered. + +Below is an example of how to add ACPI support to the existing mpu3050 +input driver:: + + #ifdef CONFIG_ACPI + static const struct acpi_device_id mpu3050_acpi_match[] = { + { "MPU3050", 0 }, + { }, + }; + MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE(acpi, mpu3050_acpi_match); + #endif + + static struct i2c_driver mpu3050_i2c_driver = { + .driver = { + .name = "mpu3050", + .owner = THIS_MODULE, + .pm = &mpu3050_pm, + .of_match_table = mpu3050_of_match, + .acpi_match_table = ACPI_PTR(mpu3050_acpi_match), + }, + .probe = mpu3050_probe, + .remove = mpu3050_remove, + .id_table = mpu3050_ids, + }; + +GPIO support +============ + +ACPI 5 introduced two new resources to describe GPIO connections: GpioIo +and GpioInt. These resources can be used to pass GPIO numbers used by +the device to the driver. ACPI 5.1 extended this with _DSD (Device +Specific Data) which made it possible to name the GPIOs among other things. + +For example:: + + Device (DEV) + { + Method (_CRS, 0, NotSerialized) + { + Name (SBUF, ResourceTemplate() + { + ... + // Used to power on/off the device + GpioIo (Exclusive, PullDefault, 0x0000, 0x0000, + IoRestrictionOutputOnly, "\\_SB.PCI0.GPI0", + 0x00, ResourceConsumer,,) + { + // Pin List + 0x0055 + } + + // Interrupt for the device + GpioInt (Edge, ActiveHigh, ExclusiveAndWake, PullNone, + 0x0000, "\\_SB.PCI0.GPI0", 0x00, ResourceConsumer,,) + { + // Pin list + 0x0058 + } + + ... + + } + + Return (SBUF) + } + + // ACPI 5.1 _DSD used for naming the GPIOs + Name (_DSD, Package () + { + ToUUID("daffd814-6eba-4d8c-8a91-bc9bbf4aa301"), + Package () + { + Package () {"power-gpios", Package() {^DEV, 0, 0, 0 }}, + Package () {"irq-gpios", Package() {^DEV, 1, 0, 0 }}, + } + }) + ... + +These GPIO numbers are controller relative and path "\\_SB.PCI0.GPI0" +specifies the path to the controller. In order to use these GPIOs in Linux +we need to translate them to the corresponding Linux GPIO descriptors. + +There is a standard GPIO API for that and is documented in +Documentation/gpio/. + +In the above example we can get the corresponding two GPIO descriptors with +a code like this:: + + #include <linux/gpio/consumer.h> + ... + + struct gpio_desc *irq_desc, *power_desc; + + irq_desc = gpiod_get(dev, "irq"); + if (IS_ERR(irq_desc)) + /* handle error */ + + power_desc = gpiod_get(dev, "power"); + if (IS_ERR(power_desc)) + /* handle error */ + + /* Now we can use the GPIO descriptors */ + +There are also devm_* versions of these functions which release the +descriptors once the device is released. + +See Documentation/acpi/gpio-properties.txt for more information about the +_DSD binding related to GPIOs. + +MFD devices +=========== + +The MFD devices register their children as platform devices. For the child +devices there needs to be an ACPI handle that they can use to reference +parts of the ACPI namespace that relate to them. In the Linux MFD subsystem +we provide two ways: + + - The children share the parent ACPI handle. + - The MFD cell can specify the ACPI id of the device. + +For the first case, the MFD drivers do not need to do anything. The +resulting child platform device will have its ACPI_COMPANION() set to point +to the parent device. + +If the ACPI namespace has a device that we can match using an ACPI id or ACPI +adr, the cell should be set like:: + + static struct mfd_cell_acpi_match my_subdevice_cell_acpi_match = { + .pnpid = "XYZ0001", + .adr = 0, + }; + + static struct mfd_cell my_subdevice_cell = { + .name = "my_subdevice", + /* set the resources relative to the parent */ + .acpi_match = &my_subdevice_cell_acpi_match, + }; + +The ACPI id "XYZ0001" is then used to lookup an ACPI device directly under +the MFD device and if found, that ACPI companion device is bound to the +resulting child platform device. + +Device Tree namespace link device ID +==================================== + +The Device Tree protocol uses device identification based on the "compatible" +property whose value is a string or an array of strings recognized as device +identifiers by drivers and the driver core. The set of all those strings may be +regarded as a device identification namespace analogous to the ACPI/PNP device +ID namespace. Consequently, in principle it should not be necessary to allocate +a new (and arguably redundant) ACPI/PNP device ID for a devices with an existing +identification string in the Device Tree (DT) namespace, especially if that ID +is only needed to indicate that a given device is compatible with another one, +presumably having a matching driver in the kernel already. + +In ACPI, the device identification object called _CID (Compatible ID) is used to +list the IDs of devices the given one is compatible with, but those IDs must +belong to one of the namespaces prescribed by the ACPI specification (see +Section 6.1.2 of ACPI 6.0 for details) and the DT namespace is not one of them. +Moreover, the specification mandates that either a _HID or an _ADR identification +object be present for all ACPI objects representing devices (Section 6.1 of ACPI +6.0). For non-enumerable bus types that object must be _HID and its value must +be a device ID from one of the namespaces prescribed by the specification too. + +The special DT namespace link device ID, PRP0001, provides a means to use the +existing DT-compatible device identification in ACPI and to satisfy the above +requirements following from the ACPI specification at the same time. Namely, +if PRP0001 is returned by _HID, the ACPI subsystem will look for the +"compatible" property in the device object's _DSD and will use the value of that +property to identify the corresponding device in analogy with the original DT +device identification algorithm. If the "compatible" property is not present +or its value is not valid, the device will not be enumerated by the ACPI +subsystem. Otherwise, it will be enumerated automatically as a platform device +(except when an I2C or SPI link from the device to its parent is present, in +which case the ACPI core will leave the device enumeration to the parent's +driver) and the identification strings from the "compatible" property value will +be used to find a driver for the device along with the device IDs listed by _CID +(if present). + +Analogously, if PRP0001 is present in the list of device IDs returned by _CID, +the identification strings listed by the "compatible" property value (if present +and valid) will be used to look for a driver matching the device, but in that +case their relative priority with respect to the other device IDs listed by +_HID and _CID depends on the position of PRP0001 in the _CID return package. +Specifically, the device IDs returned by _HID and preceding PRP0001 in the _CID +return package will be checked first. Also in that case the bus type the device +will be enumerated to depends on the device ID returned by _HID. + +For example, the following ACPI sample might be used to enumerate an lm75-type +I2C temperature sensor and match it to the driver using the Device Tree +namespace link: + + Device (TMP0) + { + Name (_HID, "PRP0001") + Name (_DSD, Package() { + ToUUID("daffd814-6eba-4d8c-8a91-bc9bbf4aa301"), + Package () { + Package (2) { "compatible", "ti,tmp75" }, + } + }) + Method (_CRS, 0, Serialized) + { + Name (SBUF, ResourceTemplate () + { + I2cSerialBusV2 (0x48, ControllerInitiated, + 400000, AddressingMode7Bit, + "\\_SB.PCI0.I2C1", 0x00, + ResourceConsumer, , Exclusive,) + }) + Return (SBUF) + } + } + +It is valid to define device objects with a _HID returning PRP0001 and without +the "compatible" property in the _DSD or a _CID as long as one of their +ancestors provides a _DSD with a valid "compatible" property. Such device +objects are then simply regarded as additional "blocks" providing hierarchical +configuration information to the driver of the composite ancestor device. + +However, PRP0001 can only be returned from either _HID or _CID of a device +object if all of the properties returned by the _DSD associated with it (either +the _DSD of the device object itself or the _DSD of its ancestor in the +"composite device" case described above) can be used in the ACPI environment. +Otherwise, the _DSD itself is regarded as invalid and therefore the "compatible" +property returned by it is meaningless. + +Refer to :doc:`DSD-properties-rules` for more information. diff --git a/Documentation/firmware-guide/acpi/gpio-properties.rst b/Documentation/firmware-guide/acpi/gpio-properties.rst new file mode 100644 index 000000000000..bb6d74f23ee0 --- /dev/null +++ b/Documentation/firmware-guide/acpi/gpio-properties.rst @@ -0,0 +1,233 @@ +..

In other words, +the driver is supposed to know what to use the GpioIo()/GpioInt() resources for +once it has identified the device. Having done that, it can simply assign names +to the GPIO lines it is going to use and provide the GPIO subsystem with a +mapping between those names and the ACPI GPIO resources corresponding to them. + +To do that, the driver needs to define a mapping table as a NULL-terminated +array of struct acpi_gpio_mapping objects that each contain a name, a pointer +to an array of line data (struct acpi_gpio_params) objects and the size of that +array. Each struct acpi_gpio_params object consists of three fields, +crs_entry_index, line_index, active_low, representing the index of the target +GpioIo()/GpioInt() resource in _CRS starting from zero, the index of the target +line in that resource starting from zero, and the active-low flag for that line, +respectively, in analogy with the _DSD GPIO property format specified above. + +For the example Bluetooth device discussed previously the data structures in +question would look like this:: + + static const struct acpi_gpio_params reset_gpio = { 1, 1, false }; + static const struct acpi_gpio_params shutdown_gpio = { 0, 0, false }; + + static const struct acpi_gpio_mapping bluetooth_acpi_gpios[] = { + { "reset-gpios", &reset_gpio, 1 }, + { "shutdown-gpios", &shutdown_gpio, 1 }, + { }, + }; + +Next, the mapping table needs to be passed as the second argument to +acpi_dev_add_driver_gpios() that will register it with the ACPI device object +pointed to by its first argument. That should be done in the driver's .probe() +routine. On removal, the driver should unregister its GPIO mapping table by +calling acpi_dev_remove_driver_gpios() on the ACPI device object where that +table was previously registered. + +Using the _CRS fallback +======================= + +If a device does not have _DSD or the driver does not create ACPI GPIO +mapping, the Linux GPIO framework refuses to return any GPIOs. This is +because the driver does not know what it actually gets. For example if we +have a device like below:: + + Device (BTH) + { + Name (_HID, ...) + + Name (_CRS, ResourceTemplate () { + GpioIo (Exclusive, PullNone, 0, 0, IoRestrictionNone, + "\\_SB.GPO0", 0, ResourceConsumer) {15} + GpioIo (Exclusive, PullNone, 0, 0, IoRestrictionNone, + "\\_SB.GPO0", 0, ResourceConsumer) {27} + }) + } + +The driver might expect to get the right GPIO when it does:: + + desc = gpiod_get(dev, "reset", GPIOD_OUT_LOW); + +but since there is no way to know the mapping between "reset" and +the GpioIo() in _CRS desc will hold ERR_PTR(-ENOENT). + +The driver author can solve this by passing the mapping explictly +(the recommended way and documented in the above chapter). + +The ACPI GPIO mapping tables should not contaminate drivers that are not +knowing about which exact device they are servicing on. It implies that +the ACPI GPIO mapping tables are hardly linked to ACPI ID and certain +objects, as listed in the above chapter, of the device in question. + +Getting GPIO descriptor +======================= + +There are two main approaches to get GPIO resource from ACPI:: + + desc = gpiod_get(dev, connection_id, flags); + desc = gpiod_get_index(dev, connection_id, index, flags); + +We may consider two different cases here, i.e. when connection ID is +provided and otherwise. + +Case 1:: + + desc = gpiod_get(dev, "non-null-connection-id", flags); + desc = gpiod_get_index(dev, "non-null-connection-id", index, flags); + +Case 2:: + + desc = gpiod_get(dev, NULL, flags); + desc = gpiod_get_index(dev, NULL, index, flags); + +Case 1 assumes that corresponding ACPI device description must have +defined device properties and will prevent to getting any GPIO resources +otherwise. + +Case 2 explicitly tells GPIO core to look for resources in _CRS. + +Be aware that gpiod_get_index() in cases 1 and 2, assuming that there +are two versions of ACPI device description provided and no mapping is +present in the driver, will return different resources. That's why a +certain driver has to handle them carefully as explained in previous +chapter. diff --git a/Documentation/firmware-guide/acpi/i2c-muxes.rst b/Documentation/firmware-guide/acpi/i2c-muxes.rst new file mode 100644 index 000000000000..3a8997ccd7c4 --- /dev/null +++ b/Documentation/firmware-guide/acpi/i2c-muxes.rst @@ -0,0 +1,61 @@ +..

ACPI Namespace Objects Mapping + +The following rules apply when creating struct acpi_device objects on +the basis of the contents of ACPI System Description Tables (as +indicated by the letter in the first column and the notation in the +second column of the table above): + + N: + The object's source is an ACPI namespace node (as indicated by the + named object's type in the second column). In that case the object's + directory in sysfs will contain the 'path' attribute whose value is + the full path to the node from the namespace root. + F: + The struct acpi_device object is created for a fixed hardware + feature (as indicated by the fixed feature flag's name in the second + column), so its sysfs directory will not contain the 'path' + attribute. + M: + The struct acpi_device object is created for an ACPI namespace node + with specific control methods (as indicated by the ACPI defined + device's type in the second column). The 'path' attribute containing + its namespace path will be present in its sysfs directory. For + example, if the _BCL method is present for an ACPI namespace node, a + struct acpi_device object with LNXVIDEO 'bus_id' will be created for + it. + +The third column of the above table indicates which ACPI System +Description Tables contain information used for the creation of the +struct acpi_device objects represented by the given row (xSDT means DSDT +or SSDT). + +The forth column of the above table indicates the 'bus_id' generation +rule of the struct acpi_device object: + + _HID: + _HID in the last column of the table means that the object's bus_id + is derived from the _HID/_CID identification objects present under + the corresponding ACPI namespace node. The object's sysfs directory + will then contain the 'hid' and 'modalias' attributes that can be + used to retrieve the _HID and _CIDs of that object. + LNXxxxxx: + The 'modalias' attribute is also present for struct acpi_device + objects having bus_id of the "LNXxxxxx" form (pseudo devices), in + which cases it contains the bus_id string itself. + device: + 'device' in the last column of the table indicates that the object's + bus_id cannot be determined from _HID/_CID of the corresponding + ACPI namespace node, although that object represents a device (for + example, it may be a PCI device with _ADR defined and without _HID + or _CID). In that case the string 'device' will be used as the + object's bus_id. + + +Linux ACPI Physical Device Glue +=============================== + +ACPI device (i.e. struct acpi_device) objects may be linked to other +objects in the Linux' device hierarchy that represent "physical" devices +(for example, devices on the PCI bus). If that happens, it means that +the ACPI device object is a "companion" of a device otherwise +represented in a different way and is used (1) to provide configuration +information on that device which cannot be obtained by other means and +(2) to do specific things to the device with the help of its ACPI +control methods. One ACPI device object may be linked this way to +multiple "physical" devices. + +If an ACPI device object is linked to a "physical" device, its sysfs +directory contains the "physical_node" symbolic link to the sysfs +directory of the target device object. In turn, the target device's +sysfs directory will then contain the "firmware_node" symbolic link to +the sysfs directory of the companion ACPI device object. +The linking mechanism relies on device identification provided by the +ACPI namespace. For example, if there's an ACPI namespace object +representing a PCI device (i.e. a device object under an ACPI namespace +object representing a PCI bridge) whose _ADR returns 0x00020000 and the +bus number of the parent PCI bridge is 0, the sysfs directory +representing the struct acpi_device object created for that ACPI +namespace object will contain the 'physical_node' symbolic link to the +/sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:02:0/ sysfs directory of the +corresponding PCI device. + +The linking mechanism is generally bus-specific.

SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0 + +========================== +ACPI _OSI and _REV methods +========================== + +An ACPI BIOS can use the "Operating System Interfaces" method (_OSI) +to find out what the operating system supports. Eg. If BIOS +AML code includes _OSI("XYZ"), the kernel's AML interpreter +can evaluate that method, look to see if it supports 'XYZ' +and answer YES or NO to the BIOS. + +The ACPI _REV method returns the "Revision of the ACPI specification +that OSPM supports" + +This document explains how and why the BIOS and Linux should use these methods. +It also explains how and why they are widely misused. + +How to use _OSI +=============== + +Linux runs on two groups of machines -- those that are tested by the OEM +to be compatible with Linux, and those that were never tested with Linux, +but where Linux was installed to replace the original OS (Windows or OSX). + +The larger group is the systems tested to run only Windows. Not only that, +but many were tested to run with just one specific version of Windows. +So even though the BIOS may use _OSI to query what version of Windows is running, +only a single path through the BIOS has actually been tested. +Experience shows that taking untested paths through the BIOS +exposes Linux to an entire category of BIOS bugs. +For this reason, Linux _OSI defaults must continue to claim compatibility +with all versions of Windows. + +But Linux isn't actually compatible with Windows, and the Linux community +has also been hurt with regressions when Linux adds the latest version of +Windows to its list of _OSI strings. So it is possible that additional strings +will be more thoroughly vetted before shipping upstream in the future. +But it is likely that they will all eventually be added. + +What should an OEM do if they want to support Linux and Windows +using the same BIOS image? Often they need to do something different +for Linux to deal with how Linux is different from Windows. +Here the BIOS should ask exactly what it wants to know: + +_OSI("Linux-OEM-my_interface_name") +where 'OEM' is needed if this is an OEM-specific hook, +and 'my_interface_name' describes the hook, which could be a +quirk, a bug, or a bug-fix. + +In addition, the OEM should send a patch to upstream Linux +via the linux-acpi@vger.kernel.org mailing list. When that patch +is checked into Linux, the OS will answer "YES" when the BIOS +on the OEM's system uses _OSI to ask if the interface is supported +by the OS. Linux distributors can back-port that patch for Linux +pre-installs, and it will be included by all distributions that +re-base to upstream. If the distribution can not update the kernel binary, +they can also add an acpi_osi=Linux-OEM-my_interface_name +cmdline parameter to the boot loader, as needed. + +If the string refers to a feature where the upstream kernel +eventually grows support, a patch should be sent to remove +the string when that support is added to the kernel. + +That was easy. Read on, to find out how to do it wrong. + +Before _OSI, there was _OS +========================== + +ACPI 1.0 specified "_OS" as an +"object that evaluates to a string that identifies the operating system." + +The ACPI BIOS flow would include an evaluation of _OS, and the AML +interpreter in the kernel would return to it a string identifying the OS: + +Windows 98, SE: "Microsoft Windows" +Windows ME: "Microsoft WindowsME:Millenium Edition" +Windows NT: "Microsoft Windows NT" + +The idea was on a platform tasked with running multiple OS's, +the BIOS could use _OS to enable devices that an OS +might support, or enable quirks or bug workarounds +necessary to make the platform compatible with that pre-existing OS. + +But _OS had fundamental problems. First, the BIOS needed to know the name +of every possible version of the OS that would run on it, and needed to know +all the quirks of those OS's. Certainly it would make more sense +for the BIOS to ask *specific* things of the OS, such +"do you support a specific interface", and thus in ACPI 3.0, +_OSI was born to replace _OS. + +_OS was abandoned, though even today, many BIOS look for +_OS "Microsoft Windows NT", though it seems somewhat far-fetched +that anybody would install those old operating systems +over what came with the machine. + +Linux answers "Microsoft Windows NT" to please that BIOS idiom. +That is the *only* viable strategy, as that is what modern Windows does, +and so doing otherwise could steer the BIOS down an untested path. + +_OSI is born, and immediately misused +===================================== + +With _OSI, the *BIOS* provides the string describing an interface, +and asks the OS: "YES/NO, are you compatible with this interface?" + +eg. _OSI("3.0 Thermal Model") would return TRUE if the OS knows how +to deal with the thermal extensions made to the ACPI 3.0 specification. +An old OS that doesn't know about those extensions would answer FALSE, +and a new OS may be able to return TRUE. + +For an OS-specific interface, the ACPI spec said that the BIOS and the OS +were to agree on a string of the form such as "Windows-interface_name". + +But two bad things happened. First, the Windows ecosystem used _OSI +not as designed, but as a direct replacement for _OS -- identifying +the OS version, rather than an OS supported interface. Indeed, right +from the start, the ACPI 3.0 spec itself codified this misuse +in example code using _OSI("Windows 2001"). + +This misuse was adopted and continues today. + +Linux had no choice but to also return TRUE to _OSI("Windows 2001") +and its successors. To do otherwise would virtually guarantee breaking +a BIOS that has been tested only with that _OSI returning TRUE. + +This strategy is problematic, as Linux is never completely compatible with +the latest version of Windows, and sometimes it takes more than a year +to iron out incompatibilities. + +Not to be out-done, the Linux community made things worse by returning TRUE +to _OSI("Linux"). Doing so is even worse than the Windows misuse +of _OSI, as "Linux" does not even contain any version information. +_OSI("Linux") led to some BIOS' malfunctioning due to BIOS writer's +using it in untested BIOS flows. But some OEM's used _OSI("Linux") +in tested flows to support real Linux features. In 2009, Linux +removed _OSI("Linux"), and added a cmdline parameter to restore it +for legacy systems still needed it. Further a BIOS_BUG warning prints +for all BIOS's that invoke it. + +No BIOS should use _OSI("Linux"). + +The result is a strategy for Linux to maximize compatibility with +ACPI BIOS that are tested on Windows machines. There is a real risk +of over-stating that compatibility; but the alternative has often been +catastrophic failure resulting from the BIOS taking paths that +were never validated under *any* OS. + +Do not use _REV +=============== + +Since _OSI("Linux") went away, some BIOS writers used _REV +to support Linux and Windows differences in the same BIOS. + +_REV was defined in ACPI 1.0 to return the version of ACPI +supported by the OS and the OS AML interpreter. + +Modern Windows returns _REV = 2. Linux used ACPI_CA_SUPPORT_LEVEL, +which would increment, based on the version of the spec supported. + +Unfortunately, _REV was also misused. eg. some BIOS would check +for _REV = 3, and do something for Linux, but when Linux returned +_REV = 4, that support broke. + +In response to this problem, Linux returns _REV = 2 always, +from mid-2015 onward. The ACPI specification will also be updated +to reflect that _REV is deprecated, and always returns 2. + +Apple Mac and _OSI("Darwin") +============================ + +On Apple's Mac platforms, the ACPI BIOS invokes _OSI("Darwin") +to determine if the machine is running Apple OSX. + +Like Linux's _OSI("*Windows*") strategy, Linux defaults to +answering YES to _OSI("Darwin") to enable full access +to the hardware and validated BIOS paths seen by OSX. +Just like on Windows-tested platforms, this strategy has risks. + +Starting in Linux-3.18, the kernel answered YES to _OSI("Darwin") +for the purpose of enabling Mac Thunderbolt support. Further, +if the kernel noticed _OSI("Darwin") being invoked, it additionally +disabled all _OSI("*Windows*") to keep poorly written Mac BIOS +from going down untested combinations of paths. + +The Linux-3.18 change in default caused power regressions on Mac +laptops, and the 3.18 implementation did not allow changing +the default via cmdline "acpi_osi=!Darwin". Linux-4.7 fixed +the ability to use acpi_osi=!Darwin as a workaround, and +we hope to see Mac Thunderbolt power management support in Linux-4.11. diff --git a/Documentation/firmware-guide/acpi/video_extension.rst b/Documentation/firmware-guide/acpi/video_extension.rst new file mode 100644 index 000000000000..099b8607e07b --- /dev/null +++ b/Documentation/firmware-guide/acpi/video_extension.rst @@ -0,0 +1,121 @@ +..

Each of those index values is regarded +as a "brightness level" indicator. Thus from the user space perspective +the range of available brightness levels is from 0 to 9 (max_brightness) +inclusive. + +Notify user space about hotkey event +==================================== + +There are generally two cases for hotkey event reporting: + +i) For some laptops, when user presses the hotkey, a scancode will be + generated and sent to user space through the input device created by + the keyboard driver as a key type input event, with proper remap, the + following key code will appear to user space:: + + EV_KEY, KEY_BRIGHTNESSUP + EV_KEY, KEY_BRIGHTNESSDOWN + etc. + +For this case, ACPI video driver does not need to do anything(actually, +it doesn't even know this happened). + +ii) For some laptops, the press of the hotkey will not generate the + scancode, instead, firmware will notify the video device ACPI node + about the event. The event value is defined in the ACPI spec. ACPI + video driver will generate an key type input event according to the + notify value it received and send the event to user space through the + input device it created: + + ===== ================== + event keycode + ===== ================== + 0x86 KEY_BRIGHTNESSUP + 0x87 KEY_BRIGHTNESSDOWN + etc. + ===== ================== + +so this would lead to the same effect as case i) now. + +Once user space tool receives this event, it can modify the backlight +level through the sysfs interface. + +Change backlight level in the kernel +==================================== + +This works for machines covered by case ii) in Section 2. Once the driver +received a notification, it will set the backlight level accordingly. This does +not affect the sending of event to user space, they are always sent to user +space regardless of whether or not the video module controls the backlight level +directly. This behaviour can be controlled through the brightness_switch_enabled +module parameter as documented in admin-guide/kernel-parameters.rst. It is +recommended to disable this behaviour once a GUI environment starts up and +wants to have full control of the backlight level. diff --git a/Documentation/firmware-guide/index.rst b/Documentation/firmware-guide/index.rst new file mode 100644 index 000000000000..5355784ca0a2 --- /dev/null +++ b/Documentation/firmware-guide/index.rst @@ -0,0 +1,13 @@ +..
