the inter-value histogram for 2000 samples. If the width is 3 or less
for 10 consequtive samples, we trust the counter to be good, otherwise
we use the *_safe() method.
This method may be too strict, but the worst which can happen is that
we take the performance hit of the *_safe() method when we should not.
Make the *_safe() method more discriminating by mandating that the three
samples do not span more than 15 ticks on the counter.
Disable the PCI-ident based probing as a means to recognize good
counters.
Inspiration from: dillon and msmith
latch the acpi timer, resulting in weird deltas. The problem is severe
enough to adversely effect the timecounter code.
Default to the 'safe' version of the get-timecount function. The probe
will override it if a known-good chipset is found. This is temporary
until a more complete solution is found.

- Remove the beer-ware license (reqested by phk)
- Reorganise so that the PIIX4 workaround code is kept together, and
switch the workaround function via the timecounter struct, saving
a compare in the read-timecounter codepath. Also indicate that
the workaround is active by changing the timecounter hardware string.
This code is based on the mp_clock code by phk. It attempts to
detect the PIIX4 (see comments for details) and use a workaround
for its problems.
This code is experimental, and could use some testing and review by a
timekeeping enthusiast.
- Use __func__ instead of __FUNCTION.
- Support power-off to S3 or S5 (takawata)
- Enable ACPI debugging earlier (with a sysinit)
- Fix a deadlock in the EC code (takawata)
- Improve arithmetic and reduce the risk of spurious wakeup in
AcpiOsSleep.
- Add AcpiOsGetThreadId.
- Simplify mutex code (still disabled).
acpi_EvaluateInteger.
Use acpi_EvaluateInteger instead of doing things the hard way where
possible.
AcpiSetSystemSleepState (unofficial) becomes AcpiEnterSleepState.
Use the AcpiGbl_FADT pointer rather than searching for the FADT.
infrastructure. It's not perfect, but it's a lot better than what
we've been using so far. The following rules apply to this:
o BSD component names should be capitalised
o Layer names should be taken from the non-CA set for now. We
may elect to add some new BSD-specific layers later.
- Make it possible to turn off selective debugging flags or layers
by listing them in debug.acpi.layer or debug.acpi.level prefixed
with !.
- Fully implement support for avoiding nodes in the ACPI namespace.
Nodes may be listed in the debug.acpi.avoid environment variable;
these nodes and all their children will be ignored (although still
scanned over) by ACPI functions which scan the namespace. Multiple
nodes can be specified, separated by whitespace.
- Implement support for selectively disabling ACPI subsystem components
via the debug.acpi.disable environment variable. The following
components can be disabled:
o bus creation/scanning of the ACPI 'bus'
o children attachment of children to the ACPI 'bus'
o button the acpi_button control-method button driver
o ec the acpi_ec embedded-controller driver
o isa acpi replacement of PnP BIOS for ISA device discovery
o lid the control-method lid switch driver
o pci pci root-bus discovery
o processor CPU power/speed management
o thermal system temperature detection and control
o timer ACPI timecounter
Multiple components may be disabled by specifying their name(s)
separated by whitespace.
- Add support for ioctl registration. ACPI subsystem components may
register ioctl handlers with the /dev/acpi generic ioctl handler,
allowing us to avoid the need for a multitude of /dev/acpi* control
devices, etc.
- Use ACPI_PHYSICAL_ADDRESS
- RSDT -> XSDT
- FACP -> FADT
- No APIC table support
- Don't install a global EC handler; this has bad side-effects
(it invokes _REG in *all* EC spaces in the namespace!)
- Check for PCI bus instances already existing before adding them
ACPICA. Most of these are still works in progress. Support exists for:
- Fixed feature and control method power, lid and sleep buttons.
- Detection of ISA PnP devices using ACPI namespace.
- Detection of PCI root busses using ACPI namespace.
- CPU throttling and sleep states (incomplete)
- Thermal monitoring and cooling control (incomplete)
- Interface to platform embedded controllers (mostly complete)
- ACPI timer (incomplete)
- Simple userland control of sleep states.
- Shutdown and poweroff.
