2009-11-25hwmon: (adt7475) New documentationJean Delvare
New documentation for the adt7475 driver, based on the adt7473 driver documentation. It is IMHO much more useful that the previous documentation which was essentially redundant with sysfs-interface.

2009-11-25hwmon: (adt7475) Add support for the ADT7473Jean Delvare
Add support for the ADT7473 to the adt7475 driver, and mark the adt7473 driver for removal. The ADT7473 and ADT7475 chips are almost the same chip and essentially compatible, so there's no point in having separate drivers for them.

2009-11-25hwmon: (f71882fg) Add support for the f71889fg (version 2)Hans de Goede
This adds support for the Fintek f71889fg to the f71882fg driver, many thanks to Gerd v. Egidy for providing (remote) access to a machine which such an ic. Note that this bit of the patch: - val = SENSORS_LIMIT(val, 0, 255); + + if (data->type == f71889fg) + val = SENSORS_LIMIT(val, -128, 127); + else + val = SENSORS_LIMIT(val, 0, 127); Changes behaviour for already supported models, the new behaviour is correct as the already supported models have bit 7 of the involved registers fixed at 0, so the previous behaviour which allowed setting temp zone limits > 127 was not correct.

2009-11-25hwmon: (w83627hf) Drop the force_addr module parameterJean Delvare
This module parameter is there to workaround broken BIOS. I'm not even sure if it was used in the past 5 years, and it gets in the way of converting the driver to the MFD infrastructure. So tell the users how they can do the same from user-space. Signed-off-by: Jean Delvare <khali@linux-fr.org> Cc: Rodolfo Giometti <giometti@linux.it>

2009-11-24[ACPI/CPUFREQ] Introduce bios_limit per cpu cpufreq sysfs interfaceThomas Renninger
This interface is mainly intended (and implemented) for ACPI _PPC BIOS frequency limitations, but other cpufreq drivers can also use it for similar use-cases. Why is this needed: Currently it's not obvious why cpufreq got limited. People see cpufreq/scaling_max_freq reduced, but this could have happened by: - any userspace prog writing to scaling_max_freq - thermal limitations - hardware (_PPC in ACPI case) limitiations Therefore export bios_limit (in kHz) to: - Point the user that it's the BIOS (broken or intended) which limits frequency - Export it as a sysfs interface for userspace progs. While this was a rarely used feature on laptops, there will appear more and more server implemenations providing "Green IT" features like allowing the service processor to limit the frequency. People want to know about HW/BIOS frequency limitations. All ACPI P-state driven cpufreq drivers are covered with this patch: - powernow-k8 - powernow-k7 - acpi-cpufreq Tested with a patched DSDT which limits the first two cores (_PPC returns 1) via _PPC, exposed by bios_limit: # echo 2200000 >cpu2/cpufreq/scaling_max_freq # cat cpu*/cpufreq/scaling_max_freq 2600000 2600000 2200000 2200000 # #scaling_max_freq shows general user/thermal/BIOS limitations # cat cpu*/cpufreq/bios_limit 2600000 2600000 2800000 2800000 # #bios_limit only shows the HW/BIOS limitation CC: Pallipadi Venkatesh <venkatesh.pallipadi@intel.com> CC: Len Brown <lenb@kernel.org> CC: davej@codemonkey.org.uk CC: linux@dominikbrodowski.net Signed-off-by: Thomas Renninger <trenn@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Dave Jones <davej@redhat.com>

2009-11-24powerpc/pseries: Add hooks to put the CPU into an appropriate offline stateGautham R Shenoy
When a CPU is offlined on POWER currently, we call rtas_stop_self() and hand the CPU back to the resource pool. This path is used for DLPAR which will cause a change in the LPAR configuration which will be visible outside. This patch changes the default state a CPU is put into when it is offlined. On platforms which support ceding the processor to the hypervisor with latency hint specifier value, during a cpu offline operation, instead of calling rtas_stop_self(), we cede the vCPU to the hypervisor while passing a latency hint specifier value. The Hypervisor can use this hint to provide better energy savings. Also, during the offline operation, the control of the vCPU remains with the LPAR as oppposed to returning it to the resource pool. The patch achieves this by creating an infrastructure to set the preferred_offline_state() which can be either - CPU_STATE_OFFLINE: which is the current behaviour of calling rtas_stop_self() - CPU_STATE_INACTIVE: which cedes the vCPU to the hypervisor with the latency hint specifier. The codepath which wants to perform a DLPAR operation can set the preferred_offline_state() of a CPU to CPU_STATE_OFFLINE before invoking cpu_down(). The patch also provides a boot-time command line argument to disable/enable CPU_STATE_INACTIVE.
