| * thinkpad-acpi: hotkey event driver updateHenrique de Moraes Holschuh2009-09-201-20/+26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Update the HKEY event driver to: 1. Handle better the second-gen firmware, which has no HKEY mask support but does report FN+F3, FN+F4 and FN+F12 without the need for NVRAM polling. a) always make the mask-related attributes available in sysfs; b) use DMI quirks to detect the second-gen firmware; c) properly report that FN+F3, FN+F4 and FN+F12 are enabled, and available even on mask-less second-gen firmware; 2. Decouple the issuing of hotkey events towards userspace from their reception from the firmware. ALSA mixer and brightness event reporting support will need this feature. 3. Clean up the mess in the hotkey driver a great deal. It is still very convoluted, and wants a full refactoring into a proper event API interface, but that is not going to happen today. 4. Fully reset firmware interface on resume (restore hotkey mask and status). 5. Stop losing polled events for no good reason when changing the mask and poll frequencies. We will still lose them when the hotkey_source_mask is changed, as well as any that happened between driver suspend and driver resume. The hotkey subdriver now has the notion of user-space-visible hotkey event mask, as well as of the set of "hotkey" events the driver needs (because brightness/volume change reports are not just keypress reports in most ThinkPad models). With this rewrite, the ABI level is bumped to 0x020500 should userspace need to know it is dealing with the updated hotkey subdriver.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | HKEY event 0x5010 is useless to us: old ThinkPads don't issue it. Newer ThinkPads won't issue it anymore. And all ThinkPads issue 0x1010 and 0x1011 events.

* | thinkpad-acpi: deprecate hotkey_bios_maskHenrique de Moraes Holschuh2009-09-191-1/+5
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Some analysis of the ACPI DSDTs shows that the HKEY pre-enabled mask is always 0x80c (FN+F3,FN+F4 and FN+F12), which are the hotkeys that the second gen of HKEY firmware supported (the first gen didn't report any hotkeys, the second reported these tree hotkeys but had no mask support, and the third added mask support). So, this is probably some sort of backwards compatibility with older versions of the IBM ThinkVantage suite. We have no use for that, and I know of exactly ZERO users of that attribute, anyway. Start the process of getting rid of it. Signed-off-by: Henrique de Moraes Holschuh <hmh@hmh.eng.br> Signed-off-by: Len Brown <len.brown@intel.com>
* thinkpad-acpi: remove dock and bay subdriversHenrique de Moraes Holschuh2009-08-011-127/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The standard ACPI dock driver can handle the hotplug bays and docks of the ThinkPads just fine (including batteries) as of 2.6.27, and the code in thinkpad-acpi for the dock and bay subdrivers is currently broken anyway... Userspace needs some love to support the two-stage ejection nicely, but it is simple enough to do through udev rules (you don't even need HAL) so this wouldn't justify fixing the dock and bay subdrivers, either. That leaves warm-swap bays (_EJ3) support for thinkpad-acpi, as well as support for the weird dock of the model 570, but since such support has never left the "experimental" stage, it is also not a strong enough reason to find a way to fix this code. Users of ThinkPads with warm-swap bays are urged to request that _EJ3 support be added to the regular ACPI dock driver, if such feature is indeed useful for them.

| | * thinkpad-acpi: support the second fan on the X61Henrique de Moraes Holschuh2009-06-181-1/+9

It was found out by sheer luck, that bit 0 of EC register 0x31 (formely HBRV) selects which fan is active for tachometer readings through EC 0x84/0x085: 0 for fan1, 1 for fan2. Many thanks to Christoph Kl??nter, to Whoopie, and to weasel, who helped confirm that behaviour. Fan control through EC HFSP applies to both fans equally, regardless of the state of bit 0 of EC 0x31. That matches the way the DSDT uses HFSP. In order to better support the secondary fan, export a second tachometer over hwmon, and add defensive measures to make sure we are reading the correct tachometer. Support for the second fan is whitelist-based, as I have not found anything obvious to look for in the DSDT to detect the presence of the second fan.

| | * thinkpad-acpi: forbid the use of HBRV on Lenovo ThinkPadsHenrique de Moraes Holschuh2009-06-181-6/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Forcing thinkpad-acpi to do EC-based brightness control (HBRV) on a X61 has very... interesting effects, instead of doing nothing (since it doesn't have EC-based backlight control), it causes "weirdness" in the fan tachometer readings, for example. This means the EC register that used to be HBRV has been reused by Lenovo for something else, but they didn't remove it from the DSDT. Make sure the documentation reflects this data, and forbid the user from forcing the driver to access HBRV on Lenovo ThinkPads.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Refactor and redesign the brightness control backend... In order to fix bugzilla #11750... Add a new brightness control mode: support direct NVRAM checkpointing of the backlight level (i.e. store directly to NVRAM without the need for UCMS calls), and use that together with the EC-based control. Disallow UCMS+EC, thus avoiding races with the SMM firmware. Switch the models that define HBRV (EC Brightness Value) in the DSDT to the new mode. These are: T40-T43, R50-R52, R50e, R51e, X31-X41. Change the default for all other IBM ThinkPads to UCMS-only. The Lenovo models already default to UCMS-only.

| * thinkpad-acpi: restrict access to some firmware LEDsHenrique de Moraes Holschuh2009-04-041-0/+11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Some of the ThinkPad LEDs indicate critical conditions that can cause data loss or cause hardware damage when ignored (e.g. force-ejecting a powered up bay; ignoring a failing battery, or empty battery; force- undocking with the dock buses still active, etc). On almost all ThinkPads, LED access is write-only, and the firmware usually does fire-and-forget signaling on them, so you effectively lose whatever message the firmware was trying to convey to the user when you override the LED state, without any chance to restore it. Restrict access to all LEDs that can convey important alarms, or that could mislead the user into incorrectly operating the hardware. This will make the Lenovo engineers less unhappy about the whole issue. Allow users that really want it to still control all LEDs, it is the unaware user that we have to worry about.

| * thinkpad-acpi: remove HKEY disable functionalityHenrique de Moraes Holschuh2009-04-041-20/+19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The HKEY disable functionality basically cripples the entire event model of the ThinkPad firmware and of the thinkpad-acpi driver. Remove this functionality from the driver. HKEY must be enabled at all times while thinkpad-acpi is loaded, and disabled otherwise. For sysfs, according to the sysfs ABI and the thinkpad-acpi sysfs rules of engagement, we will just remove the attributes. This will be done in two stages: disable their function now, after two kernel releases, remove the attributes. For procfs, we call WARN(). If nothing triggers it, I will simply remove the enable/disable commands entirely in the future along with the sysfs attributes. I don't expect much, if any fallout from this. There really isn't any reason to mess with hotkey_enable or with the enable/disable commands to /proc/acpi/ibm/hotkey, and this has been true for years...

* ACPI: thinkpad-acpi: BIOS backlight mode helper (v2.1)Henrique de Moraes Holschuh2008-04-291-0/+50
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Lenovo ThinkPads with generic ACPI backlight level control can be easily set to react to keyboard brightness key presses in a more predictable way than what they do when in "DOS / bootloader" mode after Linux brings up the ACPI interface. The switch to the ACPI backlight mode in the firmware is designed to be safe to use only as an one way trapdoor. One is not to force the firmware to switch back to "DOS/bootloader" mode except by rebooting. The mode switch itself is performed by calling any of the ACPI _BCL methods at least once. When in ACPI mode, the backlight firmware just issues (standard) events for the brightness up/down hot key presses along with the non-standard HKEY events which thinkpad-acpi traps, and doesn't touch the hardware. thinkpad-acpi will: 1. Place the ThinkPad firmware in ACPI backlight control mode if one is available 2. Suppress HKEY backlight change notifications by default to avoid double-reporting when ACPI video is loaded when the ThinkPad is in ACPI backlight control mode 3. Urge the user to load the ACPI video driver The user is free to use either the ACPI video driver to get the brightness key events, or to override the thinkpad-acpi default hotkey mask to get them from thinkpad-acpi as well (this will result in duplicate events if ACPI video is loaded, so let's hope distros won't screw this up). Provided userspace is sane, all should work (and *keep* working), which is more that can be said about the non-ACPI mode of the new Lenovo ThinkPad BIOSes when coupled to current userspace and X.org drivers. Full guidelines for backlight hot key reporting and use of the thinkpad-acpi backlight interface have been added to the documentation.

| |/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The mail LED name for acer-wmi currently hardcodes in the colour as green. This is wrong, since many of the newer laptops now come with an orange LED, and we have no way of telling what colour is used on a given system. Also, rename the mail LED to be inline with the current recommendations of the LED class documentation.

* ACPI: thinkpad-acpi: add tablet-mode reportingHenrique de Moraes Holschuh2008-02-161-0/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | A quick study of the 0x5009/0x500A HKEY event on the X61t DSDT revealed the existence of the EC HTAB register (EC 0x0f, bit 7), and a compare with the X41t DSDT shows that HKEY.MHKG can be used to verify if the ThinkPad is tablet-capable (MHKG present), and in tablet mode (bit 3 of MHKG return is set). Add an attribute to report this information, "hotkey_tablet_mode". This attribute has poll()/select() support, and can be used along with EV_SW SW_TABLET_MODE to hook userspace to tablet events.
