[patch 2/2] ia64: add driver for ACPI methods to call native firmware

[Bjorn Helgaas]

This driver for HPQ5001 devices installs a global ACPI OpRegion handler.
AML methods can use this OpRegion to call native firmware entry points.

This is required to support some hotplug functionality on HP Integrity
systems.

The description seems a bit generic for something that's HP specific?

It's within arch/ia64/Kconfig, so it will only show up on IA64 boxes...
It's possible that Altix or Intel IA64 boxes will want to make SAL calls
from ACPI, so it looks ok...

Thanks, I'll wordsmith the description a bit.  There's actually nothing
in the implementation that prevents this from working on non-HP firmware.  

I really want feedback on the best approach of:

  1.  Always build the driver static, accept the additional 4600 bytes
      in everybody's image, not export anything.

  2.  Allow building driver as a module, export sal_lock.  This would
      also enable building arch/ia64/kernel/esi.c as a module.

  3.  Allow building driver as a module, restructure SAL_CALL so we
      don't have to export sal_lock, but we do export fw_call_lock()
      (as done in these patches).  This isn't quite sufficient to
      enable building esi.c as a module.

#1 would be easiest, of course, but I'm not happy about adding stuff
that is only used on HP hardware.  #2 would be simple, but exporting
sal_lock has been resisted in the past.

driver to support ACPI AML calls to native firmware

[Bjorn Helgaas]

Here's the driver with no exported symbols.

[patch 1/2] ia64: abstract SAL_CALL wrapper to allow other firmware entry points

[Bjorn Helgaas]

SAL_CALL() always calls through the ia64_sal function pointer.  I am adding
new functionality that needs the same conventions as SAL_CALL (FP regs
saved/restored, sal_lock acquired, etc), but doesn't use the ia64_sal
function pointer.

This patch pulls the body of SAL_CALL out into a new "IA64_FW_CALL" that
takes care of these calling conventions, but allows the caller to specify
either ia64_sal or some other firmware entry point.

[patch 2/2] ia64: add driver for ACPI methods to call native firmware

[Bjorn Helgaas]

This driver for HPQ5001 devices installs a global ACPI OpRegion handler.
AML methods can use this OpRegion to call native firmware entry points.

ACPI does not define a mechanism for AML methods to call native firmware
interfaces such as PAL or SAL.  This OpRegion handler adds such a mechanism.
After the handler is installed, an AML method can call native firmware by
storing the arguments and firmware entry point to specific offsets in the
OpRegion.  When AML reads the "return value" offset from the OpRegion, this
handler loads up the arguments, makes the firmware call, and returns the
result.

Re: [patch 2/2] ia64: add driver for ACPI methods to call native firmware

[Len Brown]

I guess x86 does this via SMI,
I don't see any other way, so it looks reasonable to me.

Ping!  Tony, can you let me know your plans for this patch?  I'd
like to get it into a distro release, and of course, it's best if
you accept it first.

Thanks,

I'll put it in soon.  My only vague concern is whether it should be more
accessible for other OEMs who want to do the SAL/ACPI sharing thing. But
I can wait and see whether we get a proliferation of OEM specific
drivers doing the same kind of thing.  If we do, then we'll look at how
to merge the common stuff.
