2010-10-21Input: hp-wmi - switch to using sparse keymap libraryDmitry Torokhov
Instead of implementing its own version of keymap hanlding switch over to using sparse keymap library. Also make sure that we install notify handler only after we allocated input device and that we remove notify handler before unregistering input device.

2010-08-03X86 platform: hp-wmi Better match the HP WMI query interfaceThomas Renninger
- Improve error handling, by explictly return zero for success, error otherwise - WMI query command can have arbitrary input sized params - WMI query command can have specific output sized params (0, 4, 128,..) byte I like to go on here, but this is a rather intrusive change that should be looked at first. I am sure the one or other thing can be done better or there might be typo/bug somewhere. This did not get any testing yet, only compile tested. Next steps could be: - Eventually introduce hp_wmi_perform_{read,write}_query macros - Introduce new wireless query interface (0x1B) - more Signed-off-by: Thomas Renninger <trenn@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Matthew Garrett <mjg@redhat.com> CC: linux-acpi@vger.kernel.org CC: platform-driver-x86@vger.kernel.org
2010-08-03x86 platform drivers: hp-wmi fix buffer size depending on ACPI versionThomas Renninger
Depending on ACPI version (1.0 -> 32 bit) an integer could be 32 or 64 bit long. _WED internal concatenates two integers and the return value will be 8 byte (2* 32 bit) or 16 byte (2* 64 bit) long, depending on the ACPI version. Also the data send with the WMI event is defined to be splitted into: - Event ID -> 4 bytes - Event Data -> 4 bytes This gets messed up with new ACPI versions. But it's a HP BIOS bug that may get fixed in the future -> Support both, 16 and 8 byte _WED buffers. Also the wrong assumption that from the event data sent, only the first byte is relevant got cleaned up that it fits event_id/event_data as described above.

2010-03-30include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking ↵Tejun Heo
implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies. percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is used as the basis of conversion. http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py The script does the followings. * Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used, gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h. * When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered - alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there doesn't seem to be any matching order. * If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the file. The conversion was done in the following steps. 1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400 files. 2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion, some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added inclusions to around 150 files. 3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits from #2 to make sure no file was left behind. 4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed. e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually. 5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as necessary. 6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h. 7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq). * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config. * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig * ia64 SMP allmodconfig * s390 SMP allmodconfig * alpha SMP allmodconfig * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig 8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as a separate patch and serve as bisection point. Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step 6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch. If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of the specific arch.

2010-03-07x86: move hp-wmi's probe function to .devinit.textUwe Kleine-König
A pointer to hp_wmi_bios_setup is passed to the core via platform_driver_register and so the function must not disappear when the .init sections are discarded. Otherwise (if also having HOTPLUG=y) unbinding and binding a device to the driver via sysfs will result in an oops as does a device being registered late. An alternative to this patch is using platform_driver_probe instead of platform_driver_register plus removing the pointer to the probe function from the struct platform_driver.

2009-06-17hp-wmi: Add support for reporting tablet stateMatthew Garrett
HP tablets send a WMI event when a tablet state change occurs, but use the same method as is used for reporting docking and undocking. The same query is used to obtain the state of the hardware. Bit 0 indicates the docking state, while bit 2 indicates the tablet state. This patch breaks these out and sends separate input events for tablet and dock state changes. An additional sysfs file is added to report the tablet state. Signed-off-by: Matthew Garrett <mjg@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Len Brown <len.brown@intel.com>
2009-06-10rfkill: remove set_global_sw_stateAlan Jenkins
rfkill_set_global_sw_state() (previously rfkill_set_default()) will no longer be exported by the rewritten rfkill core. Instead, platform drivers which can provide persistent soft-rfkill state across power-down/reboot should indicate their initial state by calling rfkill_set_sw_state() before registration. Otherwise, they will be initialized to a default value during registration by a set_block call. We remove existing calls to rfkill_set_sw_state() which happen before registration, since these had no effect in the old model. If these drivers do have persistent state, the calls can be put back (subject to testing :-). This affects hp-wmi and acer-wmi. Drivers with persistent state will affect the global state only if rfkill-input is enabled. This is required, otherwise booting with wireless soft-blocked and pressing the wireless-toggle key once would have no apparent effect. This special case will be removed in future along with rfkill-input, in favour of a more flexible userspace daemon (see Documentation/feature-removal-schedule.txt). Now rfkill_global_states[n].def is only used to preserve global states over EPO, it is renamed to ".sav".

2009-06-03rfkill: rewriteJohannes Berg
This patch completely rewrites the rfkill core to address the following deficiencies: * all rfkill drivers need to implement polling where necessary rather than having one central implementation * updating the rfkill state cannot be done from arbitrary contexts, forcing drivers to use schedule_work and requiring lots of code * rfkill drivers need to keep track of soft/hard blocked internally -- the core should do this * the rfkill API has many unexpected quirks, for example being asymmetric wrt. alloc/free and register/unregister * rfkill can call back into a driver from within a function the driver called -- this is prone to deadlocks and generally should be avoided * rfkill-input pointlessly is a separate module * drivers need to #ifdef rfkill functions (unless they want to depend on or select RFKILL) -- rfkill should provide inlines that do nothing if it isn't compiled in * the rfkill structure is not opaque -- drivers need to initialise it correctly (lots of sanity checking code required) -- instead force drivers to pass the right variables to rfkill_alloc() * the documentation is hard to read because it always assumes the reader is completely clueless and contains way TOO MANY CAPS * the rfkill code needlessly uses a lot of locks and atomic operations in locked sections * fix LED trigger to actually change the LED when the radio state changes -- this wasn't done before Tested-by: Alan Jenkins <alan-jenkins@tuffmail.co.uk> Signed-off-by: Henrique de Moraes Holschuh <hmh@hmh.eng.br> [thinkpad] Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.net> Signed-off-by: John W.
