* ACPI, APEI, Fix APEI related table size checkingHuang Ying2010-09-291-1/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | On Huang Ying's machine: erst_tab->header_length == sizeof(struct acpi_table_einj) but Yinghai reported that on his machine, erst_tab->header_length == sizeof(struct acpi_table_einj) - sizeof(struct acpi_table_header) To make erst table size checking code works on all systems, both testing are treated as PASS. Same situation applies to einj_tab->header_length, so corresponding table size checking is changed in similar way too. v2: - Treat both table size as valid Originally-by: Yinghai Lu <yinghai@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Huang Ying <ying.huang@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Len Brown <len.brown@intel.com>
* acpi: fix bogus preemption logicThomas Gleixner2010-08-121-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The ACPI_PREEMPTION_POINT() logic was introduced in commit 8bd108d (ACPICA: add preemption point after each opcode parse). The follow up commits abe1dfab6, 138d15692, c084ca70 tried to fix the preemption logic back and forth, but nobody noticed that the usage of in_atomic_preempt_off() in that context is wrong. The check which guards the call of cond_resched() is: if (!in_atomic_preempt_off() && !irqs_disabled()) in_atomic_preempt_off() is not intended for general use as the comment above the macro definition clearly says: * Check whether we were atomic before we did preempt_disable(): * (used by the scheduler, *after* releasing the kernel lock) On a CONFIG_PREEMPT=n kernel the usage of in_atomic_preempt_off() works by accident, but with CONFIG_PREEMPT=y it's just broken. The whole purpose of the ACPI_PREEMPTION_POINT() is to reduce the latency on a CONFIG_PREEMPT=n kernel, so make ACPI_PREEMPTION_POINT() depend on CONFIG_PREEMPT=n and remove the in_atomic_preempt_off() check.

* correct console log level when ERST ACPI table is not foundDaniel J Blueman2010-07-011-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | When booting 2.6.35-rc3 on a x86 system without an ERST ACPI table with the 'quiet' option, we still observe an "ERST: Table is not found!" warning. Quiesce it to the same info log level as the other 'table not found' warnings. Signed-off-by: Daniel J Blueman <daniel.blueman@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
* ACPI, APEI, Error Record Serialization Table (ERST) supportHuang Ying2010-05-191-0/+855
ERST is a way provided by APEI to save and retrieve hardware error record to and from some simple persistent storage (such as flash). The Linux kernel support implementation is quite simple and workable in NMI context. So it can be used to save hardware error record into flash in hardware error exception or NMI handler, where other more complex persistent storage such as disk is not usable. After saving hardware error records via ERST in hardware error exception or NMI handler, the error records can be retrieved and logged into disk or network after a clean reboot. For more information about ERST, please refer to ACPI Specification version 4.0, section 17.4. This patch incorporate fixes from Jin Dongming.
