Subject: ACPI: Disable the C2C3_FFH access mode if MWAIT is unsupported From: Zhao Yakui <yakui.zhao@xxxxxxxxx> After the following commit is merged, C2C3_FFH mode will be enabled and passed into the _PDC object. But because MWAIT is unsupported on some laptops, the different power states will be returned by the _CST object. Maybe it will be better to disable C2C3_FFH access mode if MWAIT is unsupported. commit 991528d7348667924176f3e29addea0675298944 Author: Venkatesh Pallipadi <venkatesh.pallipadi@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Mon Sep 25 16:28:13 2006 -0700 ACPI: Processor native C-states using MWAIT http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10807 Signed-off-by: Zhao Yakui <yakui.zhao@xxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Li Shaohua <shaohua.li@xxxxxxxxx> --- arch/x86/kernel/acpi/processor.c | 5 +++++ 1 file changed, 5 insertions(+) Index: linux-2.6/arch/x86/kernel/acpi/processor.c =================================================================== --- linux-2.6.orig/arch/x86/kernel/acpi/processor.c +++ linux-2.6/arch/x86/kernel/acpi/processor.c @@ -43,6 +43,11 @@ static void init_intel_pdc(struct acpi_p buf[0] = ACPI_PDC_REVISION_ID; buf[1] = 1; buf[2] = ACPI_PDC_C_CAPABILITY_SMP; + /* + * If mwait/monitor is unsupported, C2/C3_FFH will be disabled. + */ + if (!cpu_has(c, X86_FEATURE_MWAIT)) + buf[2] &= ~ACPI_PDC_C_C2C3_FFH; /* * The default of PDC_SMP_T_SWCOORD bit is set for intel x86 cpu so -- 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
