2009-11-24	ACPICA: Add repair for predefined methods that must return sorted lists	Bob Moore	1	-1/+1
	This change will repair (by sorting) packages returned by _ALR, _PSS, and _TSS. Drivers can now assume that the packages are correctly sorted. Adds one new file, nsrepair2.c.

2009-08-27	ACPICA: Major update for acpi_get_object_info external interface	Bob Moore	1	-1/+1
	Completed a major update for the acpi_get_object_info external interface. Changes include: - Support for variable, unlimited length HID, UID, and CID strings - Support Processor objects the same as Devices (HID,UID,CID,ADR,STA, etc.) - Call the _SxW power methods on behalf of a device object - Determine if a device is a PCI root bridge - Change the ACPI_BUFFER parameter to ACPI_DEVICE_INFO. These changes will require an update to all callers of this interface. See the ACPICA Programmer Reference for details. Also, update all invocations of acpi_get_object_info interface Signed-off-by: Bob Moore <robert.moore@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Lin Ming <ming.m.lin@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Len Brown <len.brown@intel.com>
2009-05-07	ACPICA: use acpi.* modparam namespace	Len Brown	1	-12/+15
	Add acpi/acpica/.c to the acpi. modparam namespace so that any modparams we stick into ACPICA do not expose ACPICA filenames to users. There are currently only two modparams in ACPICA, just recently added for http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13041 With this change, they become acpi.gts=1 acpi.bfs=1 rather than hwsleep.gts=1 hwsleep.bfs=1 Signed-off-by: Len Brown <len.brown@intel.com>
2009-03-27	ACPICA: New: I/O port protection	Bob Moore	1	-1/+1
	Protect certain I/O ports from reads/writes. Provides MS compatibility. New module, hwvalid.c Signed-off-by: Bob Moore <robert.moore@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Lin Ming <ming.m.lin@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Len Brown <len.brown@intel.com>
2009-03-27	ACPICA: Fix AcpiWalkNamespace race condition with table unload	Bob Moore	1	-1/+1
	Added a reader/writer locking mechanism to allow multiple concurrent namespace walks (readers), but a dynamic table unload will have exclusive access to the namespace. This fixes a problem where a table unload could delete the portion of the namespace that is currently being examined by a walk. Adds a new file, utlock.c that implements the reader/writer lock mechanism.
