2011-04-08hwmon: (k10temp) Add support for Fam15h (Bulldozer)Andre Przywara
AMDs upcoming CPUs use the same mechanism for the internal temperature reporting as the Fam10h CPUs, so we just needed to add the appropriate PCI-ID to the list. This allows to use the k10temp driver on those CPUs. While at it change the Kconfig entry to be more generic.

2011-04-022.6.40: x86 idle: remove deprecated mwait_idle()Len Brown
For ACPI mode, mwait_with_hints() in cstate.c is used instead of mwait_idle(). For INTEL_IDLE mode, the mwait in intel_idle() is used instead of mwait_idle(). So mwait_idle() is used only on hardware that supports MWAIT, but is running a !ACPI && !INTEL_IDLE kernel. Such a system will run HLT instead of MWAIT after this change. cc: x86@kernel.org Acked-by: Andreas Herrmann <andreas.herrmann3@amd.com> Signed-off-by: Len Brown <len.brown@intel.com>
2011-04-022.6.40: x86 idle APM: remove deprecated apm_cpu_idle()Len Brown
There is some doubt whether the APM idle feature to call into the BIOS from the idle loop is reliable. Certainly it was known to fail on some machines, but more importantly, APM machines have not shipped for a decade and so finding machines to test the code is problematic. After this patch, systems running in APM mode will simply run default_idle() and HALT without calling into the BIOS from their idle loop. This deletes modular use use of (pm_idle)() and default_idle(). Acked-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Acked-by: Jiri Kosina <jkosina@suse.cz> Signed-off-by: Len Brown <len.brown@intel.com>
2011-04-022.6.40: x86 idle floppy: remove deprecated disable_hlt()/enable_hlt()Len Brown
The X86_32-only disable_hlt/enable_hlt mechanism was used by the 32-bit floppy driver. Its effect was to replace the use of the HLT instruction inside default_idle() with cpu_relax(). This workaround was commented: "disable hlt during certain critical i/o operations" "This halt magic was a workaround for ancient floppy DMA wreckage. It should be safe to remove." Remove the workaround to simplify the idle loop. cc: x86@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Len Brown <len.brown@intel.com>
2011-04-022.6.40: x86 idle: remove deprecated "no-hlt" cmdline paramLen Brown
The X86_32-only "no-hlt" cmdline option was used to disable the HLT instruction in the idle loop for the beneift of systems with flakey power issues 15 years ago. It would also set the "hlt_bug" line in /proc/cpuinfo and disable HLT in machine_halt(). If such a system is still running the upstream kernel, "idle=poll" is available to disable HLT in the idle loop. The kernel will, however, still use HLT in machine_halt(). cc: x86@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Len Brown <len.brown@intel.com>
2011-04-02cpuidle: create bootparam "cpuidle.off=1"Len Brown
useful for disabling cpuidle to fall back to architecture-default idle loop cpuidle drivers and governors will fail to register. on x86 they'll say so: intel_idle: intel_idle yielding to (null) ACPI: acpi_idle yielding to (null) Signed-off-by: Len Brown <len.brown@intel.com>
2011-04-02x86 idle: deprecate mwait_idle() and "idle=mwait" cmdline paramLen Brown
mwait_idle() is a C1-only idle loop intended to be more efficient than HLT on SMP hardware that supports it. But mwait_idle() has been replaced by the more general mwait_idle_with_hints(), which handles both C1 and deeper C-states. ACPI uses only mwait_idle_with_hints(), and never uses mwait_idle(). Deprecate mwait_idle() and the "idle=mwait" cmdline param to simplify the x86 idle code. After this change, kernels configured with (!CONFIG_ACPI=n && !CONFIG_INTEL_IDLE=n) when run on hardware that support MWAIT will simply use HLT. If MWAIT is desired on those systems, cpuidle and the cpuidle drivers above will support it. cc: x86@kernel.org cc: stable@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Len Brown <len.brown@intel.com>
2011-04-02x86 idle: deprecate "no-hlt" cmdline paramLen Brown
We'd rather that modern machines not check if HLT works on every entry into idle, for the benefit of machines that had marginal electricals 15-years ago. If those machines are still running the upstream kernel, they can use "idle=poll". The only difference will be that they'll now invoke HLT in machine_hlt(). cc: x86@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Len Brown <len.brown@intel.com>
2011-04-02x86 idle APM: deprecate CONFIG_APM_CPU_IDLELen Brown
We don't want to export the pm_idle function pointer to modules. Currently CONFIG_APM_CPU_IDLE w/ CONFIG_APM_MODULE forces us to. CONFIG_APM_CPU_IDLE is of dubious value, it runs only on 32-bit uniprocessor laptops that are over 10 years old. It calls into the BIOS during idle, and is known to cause a number of machines to fail. Removing CONFIG_APM_CPU_IDLE and will allow us to stop exporting pm_idle. Any systems that were calling into the APM BIOS at run-time will simply use HLT instead. cc: x86@kernel.org cc: Jiri Kosina <jkosina@suse.cz> cc: stable@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Len Brown <len.brown@intel.com>
2011-04-02x86 idle floppy: deprecate disable_hlt()Len Brown
Plan to remove floppy_disable_hlt in 2.6.40, an ancient workaround with comments that it should be removed. This allows us to remove clutter and a run-time branch from the idle code.

2011-03-28eeepc-wmi: asus generic asus-wmi.ko moduleCorentin Chary
New Asus notebooks are using a WMI device similar to the one used in Eee PCs. Since we don't want to load eeepc-wmi module on Asus notebooks, and we want to keep the eeepc-wmi module for backward compatibility, this patch introduce a new module, named asus-wmi, that will be used by eeepc-wmi and the new Asus Notebook WMI Driver. eeepc-wmi's input device strings (device name and phys) are kept, but rfkill and led names are changed (s/eeepc/asus/). This should not break anything since rfkill are used by type or index, not by name, and the eeepc::touchpad led wasn't working correctly before 2.6.39 anyway.
