OK, so I thought this through...
There are actually three things here:
- first introduced by this commit
a21211672c9a ("ACPI / processor: Request native thermal interrupt handling via _OSC").
It enabled bit 12 in capabilities buffer meaning enabling Collaborative Processor Performance
Control interrupts to be handled by the OSPM instead of the firmware. I guess it's not really a workaround
per se, but it was introduced in the context of the workaround. Frankly I can't see a reason why it should
stay in it's current state i.e executed only once and acknowledged, while all other proc capabilites aren't really
acknowledged. It should be treated exactly as other capabilities without any special treatment.
So to fix that I would propose to remove this altogether:
if (!acpi_hwp_native_thermal_lvt_set &&
capbuf_ret[1] & ACPI_PDC_COLLAB_PROC_PERF) {
Plus remove acpi_hwp_native_thermal_lvt altogether and the print acknowledging sucessful
set. And leave the setting of this bit in arch_acpi_set_proc_cap_bits().
This makes most sense to me. I could imagine that the author of this commit wanted to see whether
workaround worked or not and have some trace in logs but I don't think it's necessary anymore.
- second commit da5e09a1b3e5 ("ACPI : Create "idle=nomwait" bootparam"). It introduced this line in
acpi_processor_set_pdc(): buffer[2] &= ~(ACPI_PDC_C_C2C3_FFH | ACPI_PDC_C_C1_FFH);. I think it was
incorrectly put in the wrong file from the start. It should be set in arch code, preferably in
arch_acpi_set_proc_cap_bits(). This achieves better coherency, as it's an actual arch specific thing and we
have setting of all capabilities bits in one place.
- third commit 2a2a64714d9c ("ACPI: Disable MWAIT via DMI on broken Compal board"), it is an actual
workaround. I think like you suggested offline it should belong in drivers/acpi/x86 directory. We
can use utils.c file in that directory as it already contain some other workarounds.
Please let me know whether you object to any of this,
Michał
