2.6.28-rc1: rapid hotkeys break on eeepc again :(

2.6.28-rc1: rapid hotkeys break on eeepc again :(

[Alan Jenkins]

Similar but different to the original symptoms of bugzilla #11089 (which
is closed, fixed by the specific patch I tested).  Hotkeys give up the
ghost after being held down for a while, or pressed rapidly.  However
they don't get "out of sync" as in that bug.  I've already tried the
acpi-test tree, but that didn't fix it.

Bad: v2.6.28-rc1
Good: v2.6.27-89-g3156d1e

I can't see any non-trivial changes to the EC or eeepc-laptop drivers in
that range, so it looks like I have to do this the hard way.

Please check if changing msleep to udelay helps.

That was in acpi-test, unless I misread the changelog.  It's the main
reason I tried that, I should have mentioned it, sorry.   So no, it
didn't help.

Thanks

Any luck with bisect?

It didn't seem to like what I gave it.  I ended up at a commit which
lacked the EC rewrite - when as far as I'm concerned, I'm tracking a
regression from after that point.

So I tried some manual fiddling, and I'm now starting a bisect between
two different points on mainline.  That's got to work :).  It looks like
it broke sometime after the main merge from the acpi tree.

Well, that didn't work.

I wasn't quite methodical enough.  It depends on my doing something...
it might be the lid switch, or using the sound, or network, or switching
from battery to AC, or removing the battery...

So it needn't be a regression from the patches I tested before.  More
likely it's a problem with certain action(s) that I've only performed
recently.

"Asus Eee PC hotkeys stop working after prolonged usage"

I stuck at it, found a reliable test and bisected successfully. 
2.6.28-rc2 is broken, but I can fix it by reverting the bad commit. 
(There were some conflicts, I fixed up the dock driver manually and
avoided building the rest).

    ACPI: Change acpi_evaluate_integer to support 64-bit on 32-bit kernels

    As of version 2.0, ACPI can return 64-bit integers.  The current
    acpi_evaluate_integer only supports 64-bit integers on 64-bit platforms.
    Change the argument to take a pointer to an acpi_integer so we support
    64-bit integers on all platforms.

    lenb: replaced use of "acpi_integer" with "unsigned long long"
    lenb: fixed bug in acpi_thermal_trips_update()

Alan, to make things clear -- reverting following commit makes EC work without
a problem?

Nice.  Yes, that fixes it, thanks!

I checked the commit diff for any similar potential errors.  Most of the
changes are "obviously correct".  However, there are changes in
thermal.c which look similar to the one that caused the problem in the
EC driver.

I think someone knowledgeable needs to audit the changes to the thermal
driver, in case the Thinkpads start melting again :-P.  The commit#
again: 27663c5855b10af9ec67bc7dfba001426ba21222.

Thanks for the patch. 
   It seems that the code path in the function of ec_parse_device is
incorrect.
   Whether the ec->global_lock is assigned to a value should be based on
the returned value of acpi_evaluate_integer(handle, "_GLK", NULL, &tmp).
   If AE_OK is returned, the ec->global_lock is assigned to true.
Otherwise it should be False.
   Is this OK?
 
Thanks.

Hm, so in fact it _is_ a regression from 2.6.27 (this commit could not be
present in that kernel).
