Dear experts,
following the bug report on bugzilla
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=84381
the extra buttons (ACPI-driven buttons) on the R31 laptop do not work
since kernel 3.17.0.
Kernel 3.16.x worked fine. The same problem (or at least a very similar
problem) exists
on the Fujitsu-S6010 laptop.
After debugging for a while, the culprit seems to be in
arch/x86/kernel/acpi/boot.c, in specific
in acpi_gsi_to_irq(). The following changes fix this problem for at
least the S6010:
static unsigned int gsi_to_irq(unsigned int gsi)
{
unsigned int irq = gsi + NR_IRQS_LEGACY;
unsigned int i;
for (i = 0; i< NR_IRQS_LEGACY; i++) {
if (isa_irq_to_gsi[i] == gsi) {
return i;
}
}
/* Provide an identity mapping of gsi == irq
* except on truly weird platforms that have
* non isa irqs in the first 16 gsis.
*/
if (gsi>= NR_IRQS_LEGACY)
irq = gsi;
else
irq = gsi_top + gsi;
return irq;
}
/* THOR: Experimental end */
int acpi_gsi_to_irq(u32 gsi, unsigned int *irqp)
{
int irq = mp_map_gsi_to_irq(gsi, IOAPIC_MAP_ALLOC | IOAPIC_MAP_CHECK);
if (irq>= 0) {
*irqp = irq;
return 0;
}
/* THOR: Experimental start */
irq = gsi_to_irq(gsi);
if (irq>= 0) {
*irqp = irq;
return 0;
}
/* THOR Experimental end */
return -1;
}
Whether this works on the R31 is yet to be determined.
It would be great if you could integrate this patch into the next kernel release to get the laptop
buttons working again. With this patch, both the ACPI-buttons as well as the backlight control
device in sys/class/backlight/fujitsu-laptop works.
Thanks,
Thomas
