Merge branch 'release' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/lenb/linux
This includes initial support for the recently published ACPI 5.0 spec. In particular, support for the "hardware-reduced" bit that eliminates the dependency on legacy hardware. APEI has patches resulting from testing on real hardware. Plus other random fixes. * 'release' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/lenb/linux: (52 commits) acpi/apei/einj: Add extensions to EINJ from rev 5.0 of acpi spec intel_idle: Split up and provide per CPU initialization func ACPI processor: Remove unneeded variable passed by acpi_processor_hotadd_init V2 ACPI processor: Remove unneeded cpuidle_unregister_driver call intel idle: Make idle driver more robust intel_idle: Fix a cast to pointer from integer of different size warning in intel_idle ACPI: kernel-parameters.txt : Add intel_idle.max_cstate intel_idle: remove redundant local_irq_disable() call ACPI processor: Fix error path, also remove sysdev link ACPI: processor: fix acpi_get_cpuid for UP processor intel_idle: fix API misuse ACPI APEI: Convert atomicio routines ACPI: Export interfaces for ioremapping/iounmapping ACPI registers ACPI: Fix possible alignment issues with GAS 'address' references ACPI, ia64: Use SRAT table rev to use 8bit or 16/32bit PXM fields (ia64) ACPI, x86: Use SRAT table rev to use 8bit or 32bit PXM fields (x86/x86-64) ACPI: Store SRAT table revision ACPI, APEI, Resolve false conflict between ACPI NVS and APEI ACPI, Record ACPI NVS regions ACPI, APEI, EINJ, Refine the fix of resource conflict ...

+
+BIOS versions based in the ACPI 4.0 specification have limited options
+to control where the errors are injected. Your BIOS may support an
+extension (enabled with the param_extension=1 module parameter, or
+boot command line einj.param_extension=1). This allows the address
+and mask for memory injections to be specified by the param1 and
+param2 files in apei/einj.
+
+BIOS versions using the ACPI 5.0 specification have more control over
+the target of the injection. For processor related errors (type 0x1,
+0x2 and 0x4) the APICID of the target should be provided using the
+param1 file in apei/einj. For memory errors (type 0x8, 0x10 and 0x20)
+the address is set using param1 with a mask in param2 (0x0 is equivalent
+to all ones). For PCI express errors (type 0x40, 0x80 and 0x100) the
+segment, bus, device and function are specified using param1:
+
+ 31 24 23 16 15 11 10 8 7 0
+ +-------------------------------------------------+
+ | segment | bus | device | function | reserved |
+ +-------------------------------------------------+
+
+An ACPI 5.0 BIOS may also allow vendor specific errors to be injected.
+In this case a file named vendor will contain identifying information
+from the BIOS that hopefully will allow an application wishing to use
+the vendor specific extension to tell that they are running on a BIOS
+that supports it. All vendor extensions have the 0x80000000 bit set in
+error_type. A file vendor_flags controls the interpretation of param1
+and param2 (1 = PROCESSOR, 2 = MEMORY, 4 = PCI). See your BIOS vendor
+documentation for details (and expect changes to this API if vendors
+creativity in using this feature expands beyond our expectations).
+
+Example:
+# cd /sys/kernel/debug/apei/einj
+# cat available_error_type # See which errors can be injected
+0x00000002 Processor Uncorrectable non-fatal
+0x00000008 Memory Correctable
+0x00000010 Memory Uncorrectable non-fatal
+# echo 0x12345000 > param1 # Set memory address for injection
+# echo 0xfffffffffffff000 > param2 # Mask - anywhere in this page
+# echo 0x8 > error_type # Choose correctable memory error
+# echo 1 > error_inject # Inject now
-Injecting parameter support is a BIOS version specific extension, that
-is, it only works on some BIOS version. If you want to use it, please
-make sure your BIOS version has the proper support and specify
-"param_extension=y" in module parameter.
