Apologies, I should have looked that up when Rafael asked for you to be CC'ed

The issue I have is that acpi_os_prepare_sleep causes a divergence between the raw ACPICA source code and the "linux" version of the ACPICA code.


Understood. The v2 version of this patchset was discussed with Jan Beulich here:

http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/xen/devel/274507

In this thread, Rafael suggests that these changes be made, and submitted through linux-acpi, with he, and you CC'ed.

This is more of a cleanup effort to existing functionality, that did not get coordinated. That is, as the comment indicates, in linux 3.4, reduced hardware sleep was introduced as part of ACPIv5. In parallel, acpi_os_prepare_sleep() was also introduced, to allow for subsystems such as Xen, and tboot to take advantage of the vast majority of ACPICA, but hook some low level capabilities via function pointer, to do the specific things for those subsystems.

Rafael rightly pointed out that inclusion of linux/acpi.h in ACPICA code is wrong, and we should make efforts to avoid doing so. This patch is to clean this up, and also to extend the functionality to also go down the same path for the reduced hardware sleep path, passing that "extended" flag down to that subsystem, so that it might make use of it at the very low levels.

All efforts are being made to reduce the amount of churn in ACPICA, since it is an upstream project to linux.

If it is possible to implement the functionality that is needed without changes to ACPICA, then that would be best. If not, we are willing to integrate this interface into ACPICA. However, this has an impact on all operating systems that use ACPICA, so this is always the last resort.


I am unaware of a way to take advantage of the infrastructure that ACPICA provides, and also do that which is necessary to make it work in Xen / tboot without these hooks.

It would be greatly appreciated if you would consider this new interface for inclusion.

Thanks for your time.

Hi Bob,

I'm not familiar with your background here, so I apologize if I am stating
obvious things below.

acpi_os_prepare_sleep() has been in the acpica code for some time now,
allowing for OS specific hooks to account for differences between OS
architectures.

Specifically, it has been in since:

commit 09f98a825a821f7a3f1b162f9ed023f37213a63b
Author: Tang Liang <liang.tang@xxxxxxxxxx>
Date: Fri Dec 9 10:05:54 2011 +0800

x86, acpi, tboot: Have a ACPI os prepare sleep instead of calling
tboot_sleep.

The ACPI suspend path makes a call to tboot_sleep right before
it writes the PM1A, PM1B values. We replace the direct call to
tboot via an registration callback similar to __acpi_register_gsi.

[v2: Fix where __acpi_os_prepare_sleep==NULL and did not go in sleep
properly]

In this case, the Xen hypervisor, and not linux needs to actually put the
system into S3, so this hook gives the architecture to do so.

This change does not introduce this functionality, but simply moves the
code around into the proper locations, such that the acpica code no longer
need to include linux specific headers.

I hope this helps.
If you have specific questions, please let me know.

Regards,
Ben


Thanks,
Bob

So from here till patch 5 the build will be half broken because of
the type mismatches? I think at least the types of the consumers need
to be changed in this patch; leaving the meat of the Xen change to
patch 4 is perhaps fine.
