ACPI APEI: Convert atomicio routines
APEI needs memory access in interrupt context. The obvious choice is acpi_read(), but originally it couldn't be used in interrupt context because it makes temporary mappings with ioremap(). Therefore, we added drivers/acpi/atomicio.c, which provides: acpi_pre_map_gar() -- ioremap in process context acpi_atomic_read() -- memory access in interrupt context acpi_post_unmap_gar() -- iounmap Later we added acpi_os_map_generic_address() (2971852) and enhanced acpi_read() so it works in interrupt context as long as the address has been previously mapped (620242a). Now this sequence: acpi_os_map_generic_address() -- ioremap in process context acpi_read()/apei_read() -- now OK in interrupt context acpi_os_unmap_generic_address() is equivalent to what atomicio.c provides. This patch introduces apei_read() and apei_write(), which currently are functional equivalents of acpi_read() and acpi_write(). This is mainly proactive, to prevent APEI breakages if acpi_read() and acpi_write() are ever augmented to support the 'bit_offset' field of GAS, as APEI's __apei_exec_write_register() precludes splitting up functionality related to 'bit_offset' and APEI's 'mask' (see its APEI_EXEC_PRESERVE_REGISTER block). With apei_read() and apei_write() in place, usages of atomicio routines are converted to apei_read()/apei_write() and existing calls within osl.c and the CA, based on the re-factoring that was done in an earlier patch series - http://marc.info/?l=linux-acpi&m=128769263327206&w=2: acpi_pre_map_gar() --> acpi_os_map_generic_address() acpi_post_unmap_gar() --> acpi_os_unmap_generic_address() acpi_atomic_read() --> apei_read() acpi_atomic_write() --> apei_write() Note that acpi_read() and acpi_write() currently use 'bit_width' for accessing GARs which seems incorrect. 'bit_width' is the size of the register, while 'access_width' is the size of the access the processor must generate on the bus. The 'access_width' may be larger, for example, if the hardware only supports 32-bit or 64-bit reads. I wanted to minimize any possible impacts with this patch series so I did *not* change this behavior.
