This patch set adds SN/Altix kernel support for ACPI SSDT tables. SSDTs are built by an ACPI capable PROM and describe all devices on each slot, including devices on secondary buses. On hotplug enable/disable the SSDTs are dynamically created/freed, and added/removed from the namespace. SN platform specific device info that was previously passed via SAL call is now passed via the Vendor resource. Patch[1/3] Add SN platform support for running with an ACPI capable PROM that defines PCI devices in SSDT tables. There is a SSDT table for every occupied slot on a root bus, containing info for every PPB and/or device on the bus. The SSDTs will be dynamically loaded/unloaded on a hotplug enable/disable. Platform specific information that is currently passed via a SAL call, will now be passed via the Vendor resource in the ACPI Device object defined in a SSDT. Patch[2/3] Support for dynamic loading and unloading of ACPI SSDT tables upon slot hotplugs and unplugs. On SN platforms, we now represent every populated root bus slot with a single ACPI SSDT table containing info for every device and PPB attached to the slot. These SSDTs are generated by the prom at initial boot and hotplug time. The info in these SSDT tables is used by the SN kernel IO "fixup" code (which is called at boot and hotplug time). On hotplugs (i.e. enable_slot()), if running with an ACPI capable prom, attempt to obtain a new ACPI SSDT table for the slot being hotplugged. If successful, add the table to the ACPI namespace (acpi_load_table()) and then walk the new devices and add them to the ACPI infastructure (acpi_bus_add()). On hot unplugs (i.e. disable_slot()), if running with an ACPI capable prom, attempt to remove the SSDT table associated with the slot from the ACPI namespace (acpi_unload_table_id()) and infastructure (acpi_bus_trim()). Patch[3/3] This patch makes acpi_load_table() available for use by removing it from the #ifdef ACPI_FUTURE_USAGE. It also adds a new routine used to unload an ACPI table of a given type and "id" - acpi_unload_table_id(). The implementation of this new routine was almost a direct copy of existing routine acpi_unload_table() - only difference being that it only removes a specific table id instead of ALL tables of a given type. The SN hotplug driver (sgi_hotplug.c) now uses both of these interfaces to dynamically load and unload SSDT ACPI tables. Also, a few other ACPI routines now used by the SN hotplug driver are exported (since the driver can be a loadable module): acpi_ns_map_handle_to_node acpi_ns_convert_entry_to_handle acpi_ns_get_next_node - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-acpi" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
