+==================================
+_DSD Device Properties Usage Rules
+==================================
+
+Properties, Property Sets and Property Subsets
+==============================================
+
+The _DSD (Device Specific Data) configuration object, introduced in ACPI 5.1,
+allows any type of device configuration data to be provided via the ACPI
+namespace. In principle, the format of the data may be arbitrary, but it has to
+be identified by a UUID which must be recognized by the driver processing the
+_DSD output. However, there are generic UUIDs defined for _DSD recognized by
+the ACPI subsystem in the Linux kernel which automatically processes the data
+packages associated with them and makes those data available to device drivers
+as "device properties".
+
+A device property is a data item consisting of a string key and a value (of a
+specific type) associated with it.
+
+In the ACPI _DSD context it is an element of the sub-package following the
+generic Device Properties UUID in the _DSD return package as specified in the
+section titled "Well-Known _DSD UUIDs and Data Structure Formats" sub-section
+"Device Properties UUID" in _DSD (Device Specific Data) Implementation Guide
+document [1]_.
+
+It also may be regarded as the definition of a key and the associated data type
+that can be returned by _DSD in the Device Properties UUID sub-package for a
+given device.
+
+A property set is a collection of properties applicable to a hardware entity
+like a device. In the ACPI _DSD context it is the set of all properties that
+can be returned in the Device Properties UUID sub-package for the device in
+question.
+
+Property subsets are nested collections of properties. Each of them is
+associated with an additional key (name) allowing the subset to be referred
+to as a whole (and to be treated as a separate entity). The canonical
+representation of property subsets is via the mechanism specified in the
+section titled "Well-Known _DSD UUIDs and Data Structure Formats" sub-section
+"Hierarchical Data Extension UUID" in _DSD (Device Specific Data)
+Implementation Guide document [1]_.
+
+Property sets may be hierarchical. That is, a property set may contain
+multiple property subsets that each may contain property subsets of its
+own and so on.
+
+General Validity Rule for Property Sets
+=======================================
+
+Valid property sets must follow the guidance given by the Device Properties UUID
+definition document [1].
+
+_DSD properties are intended to be used in addition to, and not instead of, the
+existing mechanisms defined by the ACPI specification. Therefore, as a rule,
+they should only be used if the ACPI specification does not make direct
+provisions for handling the underlying use case. It generally is invalid to
+return property sets which do not follow that rule from _DSD in data packages
+associated with the Device Properties UUID.
+
+Additional Considerations
+-------------------------
+
+There are cases in which, even if the general rule given above is followed in
+principle, the property set may still not be regarded as a valid one.
+
+For example, that applies to device properties which may cause kernel code
+(either a device driver or a library/subsystem) to access hardware in a way
+possibly leading to a conflict with AML methods in the ACPI namespace. In
+particular, that may happen if the kernel code uses device properties to
+manipulate hardware normally controlled by ACPI methods related to power
+management, like _PSx and _DSW (for device objects) or _ON and _OFF (for power
+resource objects), or by ACPI device disabling/enabling methods, like _DIS and
+_SRS.
+
+In all cases in which kernel code may do something that will confuse AML as a
+result of using device properties, the device properties in question are not
+suitable for the ACPI environment and consequently they cannot belong to a valid
+property set.
+
+Property Sets and Device Tree Bindings
+======================================
+
+It often is useful to make _DSD return property sets that follow Device Tree
+bindings.
+
+In those cases, however, the above validity considerations must be taken into
+account in the first place and returning invalid property sets from _DSD must be
+avoided. For this reason, it may not be possible to make _DSD return a property
+set following the given DT binding literally and completely. Still, for the
+sake of code re-use, it may make sense to provide as much of the configuration
+data as possible in the form of device properties and complement that with an
+ACPI-specific mechanism suitable for the use case at hand.
+
+In any case, property sets following DT bindings literally should not be
+expected to automatically work in the ACPI environment regardless of their
+contents.

+=========================================================
+Special Usage Model of the ACPI Control Method Lid Device
+=========================================================
+
+:Copyright: |copy| 2016, Intel Corporation
+
+:Author: Lv Zheng <lv.zheng@intel.com>
+
+Abstract
+========
+Platforms containing lids convey lid state (open/close) to OSPMs
+using a control method lid device. To implement this, the AML tables issue
+Notify(lid_device, 0x80) to notify the OSPMs whenever the lid state has
+changed. The _LID control method for the lid device must be implemented to
+report the "current" state of the lid as either "opened" or "closed".
+
+For most platforms, both the _LID method and the lid notifications are
+reliable. However, there are exceptions. In order to work with these
+exceptional buggy platforms, special restrictions and exceptions should be
+taken into account. This document describes the restrictions and the
+exceptions of the Linux ACPI lid device driver.
+
+
+Restrictions of the returning value of the _LID control method
+==============================================================
+
+The _LID control method is described to return the "current" lid state.
+However the word of "current" has ambiguity, some buggy AML tables return
+the lid state upon the last lid notification instead of returning the lid
+state upon the last _LID evaluation. There won't be difference when the
+_LID control method is evaluated during the runtime, the problem is its
+initial returning value. When the AML tables implement this control method
+with cached value, the initial returning value is likely not reliable.
+There are platforms always retun "closed" as initial lid state.
+
+Restrictions of the lid state change notifications
+==================================================
+
+There are buggy AML tables never notifying when the lid device state is
+changed to "opened". Thus the "opened" notification is not guaranteed. But
+it is guaranteed that the AML tables always notify "closed" when the lid
+state is changed to "closed". The "closed" notification is normally used to
+trigger some system power saving operations on Windows. Since it is fully
+tested, it is reliable from all AML tables.
+
+Exceptions for the userspace users of the ACPI lid device driver
+================================================================
+
+The ACPI button driver exports the lid state to the userspace via the
+following file::
+
+ /proc/acpi/button/lid/LID0/state
+
+This file actually calls the _LID control method described above. And given
+the previous explanation, it is not reliable enough on some platforms. So
+it is advised for the userspace program to not to solely rely on this file
+to determine the actual lid state.
+
+The ACPI button driver emits the following input event to the userspace:
+ * SW_LID
+
+The ACPI lid device driver is implemented to try to deliver the platform
+triggered events to the userspace. However, given the fact that the buggy
+firmware cannot make sure "opened"/"closed" events are paired, the ACPI
+button driver uses the following 3 modes in order not to trigger issues.
+
+If the userspace hasn't been prepared to ignore the unreliable "opened"
+events and the unreliable initial state notification, Linux users can use
+the following kernel parameters to handle the possible issues:
+
+A. button.lid_init_state=method:
+ When this option is specified, the ACPI button driver reports the
+ initial lid state using the returning value of the _LID control method
+ and whether the "opened"/"closed" events are paired fully relies on the
+ firmware implementation.
+
+ This option can be used to fix some platforms where the returning value
+ of the _LID control method is reliable but the initial lid state
+ notification is missing.
+
+ This option is the default behavior during the period the userspace
+ isn't ready to handle the buggy AML tables.
+
+B. button.lid_init_state=open:
+ When this option is specified, the ACPI button driver always reports the
+ initial lid state as "opened" and whether the "opened"/"closed" events
+ are paired fully relies on the firmware implementation.
+
+ This may fix some platforms where the returning value of the _LID
+ control method is not reliable and the initial lid state notification is
+ missing.
+
+If the userspace has been prepared to ignore the unreliable "opened" events
+and the unreliable initial state notification, Linux users should always
+use the following kernel parameter:
+
+C. button.lid_init_state=ignore:
+ When this option is specified, the ACPI button driver never reports the
+ initial lid state and there is a compensation mechanism implemented to
+ ensure that the reliable "closed" notifications can always be delivered
+ to the userspace by always pairing "closed" input events with complement
+ "opened" input events. But there is still no guarantee that the "opened"
+ notifications can be delivered to the userspace when the lid is actually
+ opens given that some AML tables do not send "opened" notifications
+ reliably.
+
+ In this mode, if everything is correctly implemented by the platform
+ firmware, the old userspace programs should still work. Otherwise, the
+ new userspace programs are required to work with the ACPI button driver.
+ This option will be the default behavior after the userspace is ready to
+ handle the buggy AML tables.

+================
+The AML Debugger
+================
+
+:Copyright: |copy| 2016, Intel Corporation
+:Author: Lv Zheng <lv.zheng@intel.com>
+
+
+This document describes the usage of the AML debugger embedded in the Linux
+kernel.
+
+1. Build the debugger
+=====================
+
+The following kernel configuration items are required to enable the AML
+debugger interface from the Linux kernel::
+
+ CONFIG_ACPI_DEBUGGER=y
+ CONFIG_ACPI_DEBUGGER_USER=m
+
+The userspace utilities can be built from the kernel source tree using
+the following commands::
+
+ $ cd tools
+ $ make acpi
+
+The resultant userspace tool binary is then located at::
+
+ tools/power/acpi/acpidbg
+
+It can be installed to system directories by running "make install" (as a
+sufficiently privileged user).
+
+2. Start the userspace debugger interface
+=========================================
+
+After booting the kernel with the debugger built-in, the debugger can be
+started by using the following commands::
+
+ # mount -t debugfs none /sys/kernel/debug
+ # modprobe acpi_dbg
+ # tools/power/acpi/acpidbg
+
+That spawns the interactive AML debugger environment where you can execute
+debugger commands.
+
+The commands are documented in the "ACPICA Overview and Programmer Reference"
+that can be downloaded from
+
+https://acpica.org/documentation
+
+The detailed debugger commands reference is located in Chapter 12 "ACPICA
+Debugger Reference". The "help" command can be used for a quick reference.
+
+3. Stop the userspace debugger interface
+========================================
+
+The interactive debugger interface can be closed by pressing Ctrl+C or using
+the "quit" or "exit" commands. When finished, unload the module with::
+
+ # rmmod acpi_dbg
+
+The module unloading may fail if there is an acpidbg instance running.
+
+4. Run the debugger in a script
+===============================
+
+It may be useful to run the AML debugger in a test script. "acpidbg" supports
+this in a special "batch" mode. For example, the following command outputs
+the entire ACPI namespace::
+
+ # acpidbg -b "namespace"

+====================
+APEI Error INJection
+====================
+
+EINJ provides a hardware error injection mechanism. It is very useful
+for debugging and testing APEI and RAS features in general.
+
+You need to check whether your BIOS supports EINJ first. For that, look
+for early boot messages similar to this one::
+
+ ACPI: EINJ 0x000000007370A000 000150 (v01 INTEL 00000001 INTL 00000001)
+
+which shows that the BIOS is exposing an EINJ table - it is the
+mechanism through which the injection is done.
+
+Alternatively, look in /sys/firmware/acpi/tables for an "EINJ" file,
+which is a different representation of the same thing.
+
+It doesn't necessarily mean that EINJ is not supported if those above
+don't exist: before you give up, go into BIOS setup to see if the BIOS
+has an option to enable error injection. Look for something called WHEA
+or similar. Often, you need to enable an ACPI5 support option prior, in
+order to see the APEI,EINJ,... functionality supported and exposed by
+the BIOS menu.
+
+To use EINJ, make sure the following are options enabled in your kernel
+configuration::
+
+ CONFIG_DEBUG_FS
+ CONFIG_ACPI_APEI
+ CONFIG_ACPI_APEI_EINJ
+
+The EINJ user interface is in <debugfs mount point>/apei/einj.
+
+The following files belong to it:
+
+- available_error_type
+
+ This file shows which error types are supported:
+
+ ================ ===================================
+ Error Type Value Error Description
+ ================ ===================================
+ 0x00000001 Processor Correctable
+ 0x00000002 Processor Uncorrectable non-fatal
+ 0x00000004 Processor Uncorrectable fatal
+ 0x00000008 Memory Correctable
+ 0x00000010 Memory Uncorrectable non-fatal
+ 0x00000020 Memory Uncorrectable fatal
+ 0x00000040 PCI Express Correctable
+ 0x00000080 PCI Express Uncorrectable non-fatal
+ 0x00000100 PCI Express Uncorrectable fatal
+ 0x00000200 Platform Correctable
+ 0x00000400 Platform Uncorrectable non-fatal
+ 0x00000800 Platform Uncorrectable fatal
+ ================ ===================================
+
+ The format of the file contents are as above, except present are only
+ the available error types.
+
+- error_type
+
+ Set the value of the error type being injected. Possible error types
+ are defined in the file available_error_type above.
+
+- error_inject
+
+ Write any integer to this file to trigger the error injection. Make
+ sure you have specified all necessary error parameters, i.e. this
+ write should be the last step when injecting errors.
+
+- flags
+
+ Present for kernel versions 3.13 and above. Used to specify which
+ of param{1..4} are valid and should be used by the firmware during
+ injection. Value is a bitmask as specified in ACPI5.0 spec for the
+ SET_ERROR_TYPE_WITH_ADDRESS data structure:
+
+ Bit 0
+ Processor APIC field valid (see param3 below).
+ Bit 1
+ Memory address and mask valid (param1 and param2).
+ Bit 2
+ PCIe (seg,bus,dev,fn) valid (see param4 below).
+
+ If set to zero, legacy behavior is mimicked where the type of
+ injection specifies just one bit set, and param1 is multiplexed.
+
+- param1
+
+ This file is used to set the first error parameter value. Its effect
+ depends on the error type specified in error_type. For example, if
+ error type is memory related type, the param1 should be a valid
+ physical memory address. [Unless "flag" is set - see above]
+
+- param2
+
+ Same use as param1 above. For example, if error type is of memory
+ related type, then param2 should be a physical memory address mask.
+ Linux requires page or narrower granularity, say, 0xfffffffffffff000.
+
+- param3
+
+ Used when the 0x1 bit is set in "flags" to specify the APIC id
+
+- param4
+ Used when the 0x4 bit is set in "flags" to specify target PCIe device
+
+- notrigger
+
+ The error injection mechanism is a two-step process. First inject the
+ error, then perform some actions to trigger it. Setting "notrigger"
+ to 1 skips the trigger phase, which *may* allow the user to cause the
+ error in some other context by a simple access to the CPU, memory
+ location, or device that is the target of the error injection. Whether
+ this actually works depends on what operations the BIOS actually
+ includes in the trigger phase.
+
+BIOS versions based on the ACPI 4.0 specification have limited options
+in controlling where the errors are injected. Your BIOS may support an
+extension (enabled with the param_extension=1 module parameter, or boot
+command line einj.param_extension=1). This allows the address and mask
+for memory injections to be specified by the param1 and param2 files in
+apei/einj.
+
+BIOS versions based on the ACPI 5.0 specification have more control over
+the target of the injection. For processor-related errors (type 0x1, 0x2
+and 0x4), you can set flags to 0x3 (param3 for bit 0, and param1 and
+param2 for bit 1) so that you have more information added to the error
+signature being injected. The actual data passed is this::
+
+ memory_address = param1;
+ memory_address_range = param2;
+ apicid = param3;
+ pcie_sbdf = param4;
+
+For memory errors (type 0x8, 0x10 and 0x20) the address is set using
+param1 with a mask in param2 (0x0 is equivalent to all ones). For PCI
+express errors (type 0x40, 0x80 and 0x100) the segment, bus, device and
+function are specified using param1::
+
+ 31 24 23 16 15 11 10 8 7 0
+ +-------------------------------------------------+
+ | segment | bus | device | function | reserved |
+ +-------------------------------------------------+
+
+Anyway, you get the idea, if there's doubt just take a look at the code
+in drivers/acpi/apei/einj.c.
+
+An ACPI 5.0 BIOS may also allow vendor-specific errors to be injected.
+In this case a file named vendor will contain identifying information
+from the BIOS that hopefully will allow an application wishing to use
+the vendor-specific extension to tell that they are running on a BIOS
+that supports it. All vendor extensions have the 0x80000000 bit set in
+error_type. A file vendor_flags controls the interpretation of param1
+and param2 (1 = PROCESSOR, 2 = MEMORY, 4 = PCI). See your BIOS vendor
+documentation for details (and expect changes to this API if vendors
+creativity in using this feature expands beyond our expectations).
+
+
+An error injection example::
+
+ # cd /sys/kernel/debug/apei/einj
+ # cat available_error_type # See which errors can be injected
+ 0x00000002 Processor Uncorrectable non-fatal
+ 0x00000008 Memory Correctable
+ 0x00000010 Memory Uncorrectable non-fatal
+ # echo 0x12345000 > param1 # Set memory address for injection
+ # echo 0xfffffffffffff000 > param2 # Mask - anywhere in this page
+ # echo 0x8 > error_type # Choose correctable memory error
+ # echo 1 > error_inject # Inject now
+
+You should see something like this in dmesg::
+
+ [22715.830801] EDAC sbridge MC3: HANDLING MCE MEMORY ERROR
+ [22715.834759] EDAC sbridge MC3: CPU 0: Machine Check Event: 0 Bank 7: 8c00004000010090

+
+Special notes for injection into SGX enclaves:
+
+There may be a separate BIOS setup option to enable SGX injection.
+
+The injection process consists of setting some special memory controller
+trigger that will inject the error on the next write to the target
+address. But the h/w prevents any software outside of an SGX enclave
+from accessing enclave pages (even BIOS SMM mode).
+
+The following sequence can be used:
+ 1) Determine physical address of enclave page
+ 2) Use "notrigger=1" mode to inject (this will setup
+ the injection address, but will not actually inject)
+ 3) Enter the enclave
+ 4) Store data to the virtual address matching physical address from step 1
+ 5) Execute CLFLUSH for that virtual address
+ 6) Spin delay for 250ms
+ 7) Read from the virtual address. This will trigger the error
+
+For more information about EINJ, please refer to ACPI specification
+version 4.0, section 17.5 and ACPI 5.0, section 18.6.

+====================
+ACPI CA Debug Output
+====================
+
+The ACPI CA can generate debug output. This document describes how to use this
+facility.
+
+Compile-time configuration
+==========================
+
+The ACPI CA debug output is globally enabled by CONFIG_ACPI_DEBUG. If this
+config option is not set, the debug messages are not even built into the kernel.
+
+Boot- and run-time configuration
+================================
+
+When CONFIG_ACPI_DEBUG=y, you can select the component and level of messages
+you're interested in. At boot-time, use the acpi.debug_layer and
+acpi.debug_level kernel command line options. After boot, you can use the
+debug_layer and debug_level files in /sys/module/acpi/parameters/ to control
+the debug messages.
+
+debug_layer (component)
+=======================
+
+The "debug_layer" is a mask that selects components of interest, e.g., a
+specific part of the ACPI interpreter. To build the debug_layer bitmask, look
+for the "#define _COMPONENT" in an ACPI source file.
+
+You can set the debug_layer mask at boot-time using the acpi.debug_layer
+command line argument, and you can change it after boot by writing values
+to /sys/module/acpi/parameters/debug_layer.
+
+The possible components are defined in include/acpi/acoutput.h.
+
+Reading /sys/module/acpi/parameters/debug_layer shows the supported mask values::
+
+ ACPI_UTILITIES 0x00000001
+ ACPI_HARDWARE 0x00000002
+ ACPI_EVENTS 0x00000004
+ ACPI_TABLES 0x00000008
+ ACPI_NAMESPACE 0x00000010
+ ACPI_PARSER 0x00000020
+ ACPI_DISPATCHER 0x00000040
+ ACPI_EXECUTER 0x00000080
+ ACPI_RESOURCES 0x00000100
+ ACPI_CA_DEBUGGER 0x00000200
+ ACPI_OS_SERVICES 0x00000400
+ ACPI_CA_DISASSEMBLER 0x00000800
+ ACPI_COMPILER 0x00001000
+ ACPI_TOOLS 0x00002000
+
+debug_level
+===========
+
+The "debug_level" is a mask that selects different types of messages, e.g.,
+those related to initialization, method execution, informational messages, etc.
+To build debug_level, look at the level specified in an ACPI_DEBUG_PRINT()
+statement.
+
+The ACPI interpreter uses several different levels, but the Linux
+ACPI core and ACPI drivers generally only use ACPI_LV_INFO.
+
+You can set the debug_level mask at boot-time using the acpi.debug_level
+command line argument, and you can change it after boot by writing values
+to /sys/module/acpi/parameters/debug_level.
+
+The possible levels are defined in include/acpi/acoutput.h. Reading
+/sys/module/acpi/parameters/debug_level shows the supported mask values,
+currently these::
+
+ ACPI_LV_INIT 0x00000001
+ ACPI_LV_DEBUG_OBJECT 0x00000002
+ ACPI_LV_INFO 0x00000004
+ ACPI_LV_INIT_NAMES 0x00000020
+ ACPI_LV_PARSE 0x00000040
+ ACPI_LV_LOAD 0x00000080
+ ACPI_LV_DISPATCH 0x00000100
+ ACPI_LV_EXEC 0x00000200
+ ACPI_LV_NAMES 0x00000400
+ ACPI_LV_OPREGION 0x00000800
+ ACPI_LV_BFIELD 0x00001000
+ ACPI_LV_TABLES 0x00002000
+ ACPI_LV_VALUES 0x00004000
+ ACPI_LV_OBJECTS 0x00008000
+ ACPI_LV_RESOURCES 0x00010000
+ ACPI_LV_USER_REQUESTS 0x00020000
+ ACPI_LV_PACKAGE 0x00040000
+ ACPI_LV_ALLOCATIONS 0x00100000
+ ACPI_LV_FUNCTIONS 0x00200000
+ ACPI_LV_OPTIMIZATIONS 0x00400000
+ ACPI_LV_MUTEX 0x01000000
+ ACPI_LV_THREADS 0x02000000
+ ACPI_LV_IO 0x04000000
+ ACPI_LV_INTERRUPTS 0x08000000
+ ACPI_LV_AML_DISASSEMBLE 0x10000000
+ ACPI_LV_VERBOSE_INFO 0x20000000
+ ACPI_LV_FULL_TABLES 0x40000000
+ ACPI_LV_EVENTS 0x80000000
+
+Examples
+========
+
+For example, drivers/acpi/acpica/evxfevnt.c contains this::
+
+ #define _COMPONENT ACPI_EVENTS
+ ...
+ ACPI_DEBUG_PRINT((ACPI_DB_INIT, "ACPI mode disabled\n"));
+
+To turn on this message, set the ACPI_EVENTS bit in acpi.debug_layer
+and the ACPI_LV_INIT bit in acpi.debug_level. (The ACPI_DEBUG_PRINT
+statement uses ACPI_DB_INIT, which is a macro based on the ACPI_LV_INIT
+definition.)
+
+Enable all AML "Debug" output (stores to the Debug object while interpreting
+AML) during boot::
+
+ acpi.debug_layer=0xffffffff acpi.debug_level=0x2
+
+Enable all ACPI hardware-related messages::
+
+ acpi.debug_layer=0x2 acpi.debug_level=0xffffffff
+
+Enable all ACPI_DB_INFO messages after boot::
+
+ # echo 0x4 > /sys/module/acpi/parameters/debug_level
+
+Show all valid component values::
+
+ # cat /sys/module/acpi/parameters/debug_layer

+Referencing hierarchical data nodes
+===================================
+
+:Copyright: |copy| 2018, 2021 Intel Corporation
+:Author: Sakari Ailus <sakari.ailus@linux.intel.com>
+
+ACPI in general allows referring to device objects in the tree only.
+Hierarchical data extension nodes may not be referred to directly, hence this
+document defines a scheme to implement such references.
+
+A reference consist of the device object name followed by one or more
+hierarchical data extension [dsd-guide] keys. Specifically, the hierarchical
+data extension node which is referred to by the key shall lie directly under
+the parent object i.e. either the device object or another hierarchical data
+extension node.
+
+The keys in the hierarchical data nodes shall consist of the name of the node,
+"@" character and the number of the node in hexadecimal notation (without pre-
+or postfixes). The same ACPI object shall include the _DSD property extension
+with a property "reg" that shall have the same numerical value as the number of
+the node.
+
+In case a hierarchical data extensions node has no numerical value, then the
+"reg" property shall be omitted from the ACPI object's _DSD properties and the
+"@" character and the number shall be omitted from the hierarchical data
+extension key.
+
+
+Example
+=======
+
+In the ASL snippet below, the "reference" _DSD property contains a
+device object reference to DEV0 and under that device object, a
+hierarchical data extension key "node@1" referring to the NOD1 object
+and lastly, a hierarchical data extension key "anothernode" referring to
+the ANOD object which is also the final target node of the reference.

+_DSD
+====
+
+_DSD (Device Specific Data) [dsd-guide] is a predefined ACPI device
+configuration object that can be used to convey information on
+hardware features which are not specifically covered by the ACPI
+specification [acpi]. There are two _DSD extensions that are relevant
+for graphs: property [dsd-guide] and hierarchical data extensions. The
+property extension provides generic key-value pairs whereas the
+hierarchical data extension supports nodes with references to other
+nodes, forming a tree. The nodes in the tree may contain properties as
+defined by the property extension. The two extensions together provide
+a tree-like structure with zero or more properties (key-value pairs)
+in each node of the tree.
+
+The data structure may be accessed at runtime by using the device_*
+and fwnode_* functions defined in include/linux/fwnode.h .
+
+Fwnode represents a generic firmware node object. It is independent on
+the firmware type. In ACPI, fwnodes are _DSD hierarchical data
+extensions objects. A device's _DSD object is represented by an
+fwnode.
+
+The data structure may be referenced to elsewhere in the ACPI tables
+by using a hard reference to the device itself and an index to the
+hierarchical data extension array on each depth.
+
+
+Ports and endpoints
+===================
+
+The port and endpoint concepts are very similar to those in Devicetree
+[devicetree, graph-bindings]. A port represents an interface in a device, and
+an endpoint represents a connection to that interface. Also see [data-node-ref]
+for generic data node references.
+
+All port nodes are located under the device's "_DSD" node in the hierarchical
+data extension tree. The data extension related to each port node must begin
+with "port" and must be followed by the "@" character and the number of the
+port as its key. The target object it refers to should be called "PRTX", where
+"X" is the number of the port. An example of such a package would be::
+
+ Package() { "port@4", "PRT4" }
+
+Further on, endpoints are located under the port nodes. The hierarchical
+data extension key of the endpoint nodes must begin with
+"endpoint" and must be followed by the "@" character and the number of the
+endpoint. The object it refers to should be called "EPXY", where "X" is the
+number of the port and "Y" is the number of the endpoint. An example of such a
+package would be::
+
+ Package() { "endpoint@0", "EP40" }
+
+Each port node contains a property extension key "port", the value of which is
+the number of the port. Each endpoint is similarly numbered with a property
+extension key "reg", the value of which is the number of the endpoint. Port
+numbers must be unique within a device and endpoint numbers must be unique
+within a port. If a device object may only has a single port, then the number
+of that port shall be zero. Similarly, if a port may only have a single
+endpoint, the number of that endpoint shall be zero.
+
+The endpoint reference uses property extension with "remote-endpoint" property
+name followed by a reference in the same package. Such references consist of
+the remote device reference, the first package entry of the port data extension
+reference under the device and finally the first package entry of the endpoint
+data extension reference under the port. Individual references thus appear as::
+
+ Package() { device, "port@X", "endpoint@Y" }
+
+In the above example, "X" is the number of the port and "Y" is the number of
+the endpoint.
+
+The references to endpoints must be always done both ways, to the
+remote endpoint and back from the referred remote endpoint node.
+

+========================================
+Describing and referring to LEDs in ACPI
+========================================
+
+Individual LEDs are described by hierarchical data extension [5] nodes under the
+device node, the LED driver chip. The "reg" property in the LED specific nodes
+tells the numerical ID of each individual LED output to which the LEDs are
+connected. [leds] The hierarchical data nodes are named "led@X", where X is the
+number of the LED output.
+
+Referring to LEDs in Device tree is documented in [video-interfaces], in
+"flash-leds" property documentation. In short, LEDs are directly referred to by
+using phandles.
+
+While Device tree allows referring to any node in the tree [devicetree], in
+ACPI references are limited to device nodes only [acpi]. For this reason using
+the same mechanism on ACPI is not possible. A mechanism to refer to non-device
+ACPI nodes is documented in [data-node-ref].
+
+ACPI allows (as does DT) using integer arguments after the reference. A
+combination of the LED driver device reference and an integer argument,
+referring to the "reg" property of the relevant LED, is used to identify
+individual LEDs. The value of the "reg" property is a contract between the
+firmware and software, it uniquely identifies the LED driver outputs.
+
+Under the LED driver device, The first hierarchical data extension package list
+entry shall contain the string "led@" followed by the number of the LED,
+followed by the referred object name. That object shall be named "LED" followed
+by the number of the LED.
+
+Example

+=========================
+MDIO bus and PHYs in ACPI
+=========================
+
+The PHYs on an MDIO bus [phy] are probed and registered using
+fwnode_mdiobus_register_phy().
+
+Later, for connecting these PHYs to their respective MACs, the PHYs registered
+on the MDIO bus have to be referenced.
+
+This document introduces two _DSD properties that are to be used
+for connecting PHYs on the MDIO bus [dsd-properties-rules] to the MAC layer.
+
+These properties are defined in accordance with the "Device
+Properties UUID For _DSD" [dsd-guide] document and the
+daffd814-6eba-4d8c-8a91-bc9bbf4aa301 UUID must be used in the Device
+Data Descriptors containing them.
+
+phy-handle
+----------
+For each MAC node, a device property "phy-handle" is used to reference
+the PHY that is registered on an MDIO bus. This is mandatory for
+network interfaces that have PHYs connected to MAC via MDIO bus.
+
+During the MDIO bus driver initialization, PHYs on this bus are probed
+using the _ADR object as shown below and are registered on the MDIO bus.
+
+.. code-block:: none
+
+ Scope(\_SB.MDI0)
+ {
+ Device(PHY1) {
+ Name (_ADR, 0x1)
+ } // end of PHY1
+
+ Device(PHY2) {
+ Name (_ADR, 0x2)
+ } // end of PHY2
+ }
+
+Later, during the MAC driver initialization, the registered PHY devices
+have to be retrieved from the MDIO bus. For this, the MAC driver needs
+references to the previously registered PHYs which are provided
+as device object references (e.g. \_SB.MDI0.PHY1).
+
+phy-mode
+--------
+The "phy-mode" _DSD property is used to describe the connection to
+the PHY. The valid values for "phy-mode" are defined in [ethernet-controller].
+
+managed
+-------
+Optional property, which specifies the PHY management type.
+The valid values for "managed" are defined in [ethernet-controller].
+
+fixed-link
+----------
+The "fixed-link" is described by a data-only subnode of the
+MAC port, which is linked in the _DSD package via
+hierarchical data extension (UUID dbb8e3e6-5886-4ba6-8795-1319f52a966b
+in accordance with [dsd-guide] "_DSD Implementation Guide" document).
+The subnode should comprise a required property ("speed") and
+possibly the optional ones - complete list of parameters and
+their values are specified in [ethernet-controller].
+
+The following ASL example illustrates the usage of these properties.
+
+DSDT entry for MDIO node

+component (PHYs on the MDIO bus).

+=============================
+ACPI Based Device Enumeration
+=============================
+
+ACPI 5 introduced a set of new resources (UartTSerialBus, I2cSerialBus,
+SpiSerialBus, GpioIo and GpioInt) which can be used in enumerating slave
+devices behind serial bus controllers.
+
+In addition we are starting to see peripherals integrated in the
+SoC/Chipset to appear only in ACPI namespace. These are typically devices
+that are accessed through memory-mapped registers.
+
+In order to support this and re-use the existing drivers as much as
+possible we decided to do following:
+
+ - Devices that have no bus connector resource are represented as
+ platform devices.
+
+ - Devices behind real busses where there is a connector resource
+ are represented as struct spi_device or struct i2c_device. Note
+ that standard UARTs are not busses so there is no struct uart_device,
+ although some of them may be represented by struct serdev_device.
+
+As both ACPI and Device Tree represent a tree of devices (and their
+resources) this implementation follows the Device Tree way as much as
+possible.
+
+The ACPI implementation enumerates devices behind busses (platform, SPI,
+I2C, and in some cases UART), creates the physical devices and binds them
+to their ACPI handle in the ACPI namespace.
+
+This means that when ACPI_HANDLE(dev) returns non-NULL the device was
+enumerated from ACPI namespace. This handle can be used to extract other
+device-specific configuration. There is an example of this below.
+
+Platform bus support
+====================
+
+Since we are using platform devices to represent devices that are not
+connected to any physical bus we only need to implement a platform driver
+for the device and add supported ACPI IDs. If this same IP-block is used on
+some other non-ACPI platform, the driver might work out of the box or needs
+some minor changes.
+
+Adding ACPI support for an existing driver should be pretty
+straightforward. Here is the simplest example::
+
+ static const struct acpi_device_id mydrv_acpi_match[] = {
+ /* ACPI IDs here */
+ { }
+ };
+ MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE(acpi, mydrv_acpi_match);
+
+ static struct platform_driver my_driver = {
+ ...
+ .driver = {
+ .acpi_match_table = mydrv_acpi_match,
+ },
+ };
+
+If the driver needs to perform more complex initialization like getting and
+configuring GPIOs it can get its ACPI handle and extract this information
+from ACPI tables.
+
+DMA support
+===========
+
+DMA controllers enumerated via ACPI should be registered in the system to
+provide generic access to their resources. For example, a driver that would
+like to be accessible to slave devices via generic API call
+dma_request_chan() must register itself at the end of the probe function like
+this::
+
+ err = devm_acpi_dma_controller_register(dev, xlate_func, dw);
+ /* Handle the error if it's not a case of !CONFIG_ACPI */
+
+and implement custom xlate function if needed (usually acpi_dma_simple_xlate()
+is enough) which converts the FixedDMA resource provided by struct
+acpi_dma_spec into the corresponding DMA channel. A piece of code for that case
+could look like::
+
+ #ifdef CONFIG_ACPI
+ struct filter_args {
+ /* Provide necessary information for the filter_func */
+ ...
+ };
+
+ static bool filter_func(struct dma_chan *chan, void *param)
+ {
+ /* Choose the proper channel */
+ ...
+ }
+
+ static struct dma_chan *xlate_func(struct acpi_dma_spec *dma_spec,
+ struct acpi_dma *adma)
+ {
+ dma_cap_mask_t cap;
+ struct filter_args args;
+
+ /* Prepare arguments for filter_func */
+ ...
+ return dma_request_channel(cap, filter_func, &args);
+ }
+ #else
+ static struct dma_chan *xlate_func(struct acpi_dma_spec *dma_spec,
+ struct acpi_dma *adma)
+ {
+ return NULL;
+ }
+ #endif
+
+dma_request_chan() will call xlate_func() for each registered DMA controller.
+In the xlate function the proper channel must be chosen based on
+information in struct acpi_dma_spec and the properties of the controller
+provided by struct acpi_dma.
+
+Clients must call dma_request_chan() with the string parameter that corresponds
+to a specific FixedDMA resource. By default "tx" means the first entry of the
+FixedDMA resource array, "rx" means the second entry. The table below shows a
+layout::
+
+ Device (I2C0)
+ {
+ ...
+ Method (_CRS, 0, NotSerialized)
+ {
+ Name (DBUF, ResourceTemplate ()
+ {
+ FixedDMA (0x0018, 0x0004, Width32bit, _Y48)
+ FixedDMA (0x0019, 0x0005, Width32bit, )
+ })
+ ...
+ }
+ }
+
+So, the FixedDMA with request line 0x0018 is "tx" and next one is "rx" in
+this example.
+
+In robust cases the client unfortunately needs to call
+acpi_dma_request_slave_chan_by_index() directly and therefore choose the
+specific FixedDMA resource by its index.
+
+Named Interrupts
+================
+
+Drivers enumerated via ACPI can have names to interrupts in the ACPI table
+which can be used to get the IRQ number in the driver.
+
+The interrupt name can be listed in _DSD as 'interrupt-names'. The names
+should be listed as an array of strings which will map to the Interrupt()
+resource in the ACPI table corresponding to its index.
+
+The table below shows an example of its usage::
+
+ Device (DEV0) {
+ ...
+ Name (_CRS, ResourceTemplate() {
+ ...
+ Interrupt (ResourceConsumer, Level, ActiveHigh, Exclusive) {
+ 0x20,
+ 0x24
+ }
+ })
+
+ Name (_DSD, Package () {
+ ToUUID("daffd814-6eba-4d8c-8a91-bc9bbf4aa301"),
+ Package () {
+ Package () { "interrupt-names", Package () { "default", "alert" } },
+ }
+ ...
+ })
+ }
+
+The interrupt name 'default' will correspond to 0x20 in Interrupt()
+resource and 'alert' to 0x24. Note that only the Interrupt() resource
+is mapped and not GpioInt() or similar.
+
+The driver can call the function - fwnode_irq_get_byname() with the fwnode
+and interrupt name as arguments to get the corresponding IRQ number.
+
+SPI serial bus support
+======================
+
+Slave devices behind SPI bus have SpiSerialBus resource attached to them.
+This is extracted automatically by the SPI core and the slave devices are
+enumerated once spi_register_master() is called by the bus driver.
+
+Here is what the ACPI namespace for a SPI slave might look like::
+
+ Device (EEP0)
+ {
+ Name (_ADR, 1)
+ Name (_CID, Package () {
+ "ATML0025",
+ "AT25",
+ })
+ ...
+ Method (_CRS, 0, NotSerialized)
+ {
+ SPISerialBus(1, PolarityLow, FourWireMode, 8,
+ ControllerInitiated, 1000000, ClockPolarityLow,
+ ClockPhaseFirst, "\\_SB.PCI0.SPI1",)
+ }
+ ...
+
+The SPI device drivers only need to add ACPI IDs in a similar way to
+the platform device drivers. Below is an example where we add ACPI support
+to at25 SPI eeprom driver (this is meant for the above ACPI snippet)::
+
+ static const struct acpi_device_id at25_acpi_match[] = {
+ { "AT25", 0 },
+ { }
+ };
+ MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE(acpi, at25_acpi_match);
+
+ static struct spi_driver at25_driver = {
+ .driver = {
+ ...
+ .acpi_match_table = at25_acpi_match,
+ },
+ };
+
+Note that this driver actually needs more information like page size of the
+eeprom, etc. This information can be passed via _DSD method like::
+
+ Device (EEP0)
+ {
+ ...
+ Name (_DSD, Package ()
+ {
+ ToUUID("daffd814-6eba-4d8c-8a91-bc9bbf4aa301"),
+ Package ()
+ {
+ Package () { "size", 1024 },
+ Package () { "pagesize", 32 },
+ Package () { "address-width", 16 },
+ }
+ })
+ }
+
+Then the at25 SPI driver can get this configuration by calling device property
+APIs during ->probe() phase like::
+
+ err = device_property_read_u32(dev, "size", &size);
+ if (err)
+ ...error handling...
+
+ err = device_property_read_u32(dev, "pagesize", &page_size);
+ if (err)
+ ...error handling...
+
+ err = device_property_read_u32(dev, "address-width", &addr_width);
+ if (err)
+ ...error handling...
+
+I2C serial bus support
+======================
+
+The slaves behind I2C bus controller only need to add the ACPI IDs like
+with the platform and SPI drivers. The I2C core automatically enumerates
+any slave devices behind the controller device once the adapter is
+registered.
+
+Below is an example of how to add ACPI support to the existing mpu3050
+input driver::
+
+ static const struct acpi_device_id mpu3050_acpi_match[] = {
+ { "MPU3050", 0 },
+ { }
+ };
+ MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE(acpi, mpu3050_acpi_match);
+
+ static struct i2c_driver mpu3050_i2c_driver = {
+ .driver = {
+ .name = "mpu3050",
+ .pm = &mpu3050_pm,
+ .of_match_table = mpu3050_of_match,
+ .acpi_match_table = mpu3050_acpi_match,
+ },
+ .probe = mpu3050_probe,
+ .remove = mpu3050_remove,
+ .id_table = mpu3050_ids,
+ };
+ module_i2c_driver(mpu3050_i2c_driver);
+
+Reference to PWM device
+=======================
+
+Sometimes a device can be a consumer of PWM channel. Obviously OS would like
+to know which one. To provide this mapping the special property has been
+introduced, i.e.::
+
+ Device (DEV)
+ {
+ Name (_DSD, Package ()
+ {
+ ToUUID("daffd814-6eba-4d8c-8a91-bc9bbf4aa301"),
+ Package () {
+ Package () { "compatible", Package () { "pwm-leds" } },
+ Package () { "label", "alarm-led" },
+ Package () { "pwms",
+ Package () {
+ "\\_SB.PCI0.PWM", // <PWM device reference>
+ 0, // <PWM index>
+ 600000000, // <PWM period>
+ 0, // <PWM flags>
+ }
+ }
+ }
+ })
+ ...
+ }
+
+In the above example the PWM-based LED driver references to the PWM channel 0
+of \_SB.PCI0.PWM device with initial period setting equal to 600 ms (note that
+value is given in nanoseconds).
+
+GPIO support
+============
+
+ACPI 5 introduced two new resources to describe GPIO connections: GpioIo
+and GpioInt. These resources can be used to pass GPIO numbers used by
+the device to the driver. ACPI 5.1 extended this with _DSD (Device
+Specific Data) which made it possible to name the GPIOs among other things.
+
+For example::
+
+ Device (DEV)
+ {
+ Method (_CRS, 0, NotSerialized)
+ {
+ Name (SBUF, ResourceTemplate()
+ {
+ // Used to power on/off the device
+ GpioIo (Exclusive, PullNone, 0, 0, IoRestrictionOutputOnly,
+ "\\_SB.PCI0.GPI0", 0, ResourceConsumer) { 85 }
+
+ // Interrupt for the device
+ GpioInt (Edge, ActiveHigh, ExclusiveAndWake, PullNone, 0,
+ "\\_SB.PCI0.GPI0", 0, ResourceConsumer) { 88 }
+ }
+
+ Return (SBUF)
+ }
+
+ // ACPI 5.1 _DSD used for naming the GPIOs
+ Name (_DSD, Package ()
+ {
+ ToUUID("daffd814-6eba-4d8c-8a91-bc9bbf4aa301"),
+ Package ()
+ {
+ Package () { "power-gpios", Package () { ^DEV, 0, 0, 0 } },
+ Package () { "irq-gpios", Package () { ^DEV, 1, 0, 0 } },
+ }
+ })
+ ...
+ }
+
+These GPIO numbers are controller relative and path "\\_SB.PCI0.GPI0"
+specifies the path to the controller. In order to use these GPIOs in Linux
+we need to translate them to the corresponding Linux GPIO descriptors.
+
+There is a standard GPIO API for that and it is documented in
+Documentation/admin-guide/gpio/.
+
+In the above example we can get the corresponding two GPIO descriptors with
+a code like this::
+
+ #include <linux/gpio/consumer.h>
+ ...
+
+ struct gpio_desc *irq_desc, *power_desc;
+
+ irq_desc = gpiod_get(dev, "irq");
+ if (IS_ERR(irq_desc))
+ /* handle error */
+
+ power_desc = gpiod_get(dev, "power");
+ if (IS_ERR(power_desc))
+ /* handle error */
+
+ /* Now we can use the GPIO descriptors */
+
+There are also devm_* versions of these functions which release the
+descriptors once the device is released.
+
+See Documentation/firmware-guide/acpi/gpio-properties.rst for more information
+about the _DSD binding related to GPIOs.
+
+RS-485 support
+==============
+
+ACPI _DSD (Device Specific Data) can be used to describe RS-485 capability
+of UART.
+
+For example::
+
+ Device (DEV)
+ {
+ ...
+
+ // ACPI 5.1 _DSD used for RS-485 capabilities
+ Name (_DSD, Package ()
+ {
+ ToUUID("daffd814-6eba-4d8c-8a91-bc9bbf4aa301"),
+ Package ()
+ {
+ Package () {"rs485-rts-active-low", Zero},
+ Package () {"rs485-rx-active-high", Zero},
+ Package () {"rs485-rx-during-tx", Zero},
+ }
+ })
+ ...
+
+MFD devices
+===========
+
+The MFD devices register their children as platform devices. For the child
+devices there needs to be an ACPI handle that they can use to reference
+parts of the ACPI namespace that relate to them. In the Linux MFD subsystem
+we provide two ways:
+
+ - The children share the parent ACPI handle.
+ - The MFD cell can specify the ACPI id of the device.
+
+For the first case, the MFD drivers do not need to do anything. The
+resulting child platform device will have its ACPI_COMPANION() set to point
+to the parent device.
+
+If the ACPI namespace has a device that we can match using an ACPI id or ACPI
+adr, the cell should be set like::
+
+ static struct mfd_cell_acpi_match my_subdevice_cell_acpi_match = {
+ .pnpid = "XYZ0001",
+ .adr = 0,
+ };
+
+ static struct mfd_cell my_subdevice_cell = {
+ .name = "my_subdevice",
+ /* set the resources relative to the parent */
+ .acpi_match = &my_subdevice_cell_acpi_match,
+ };
+
+The ACPI id "XYZ0001" is then used to lookup an ACPI device directly under
+the MFD device and if found, that ACPI companion device is bound to the
+resulting child platform device.
+
+Device Tree namespace link device ID
+====================================
+
+The Device Tree protocol uses device identification based on the "compatible"
+property whose value is a string or an array of strings recognized as device
+identifiers by drivers and the driver core. The set of all those strings may be
+regarded as a device identification namespace analogous to the ACPI/PNP device
+ID namespace. Consequently, in principle it should not be necessary to allocate
+a new (and arguably redundant) ACPI/PNP device ID for a devices with an existing
+identification string in the Device Tree (DT) namespace, especially if that ID
+is only needed to indicate that a given device is compatible with another one,
+presumably having a matching driver in the kernel already.
+
+In ACPI, the device identification object called _CID (Compatible ID) is used to
+list the IDs of devices the given one is compatible with, but those IDs must
+belong to one of the namespaces prescribed by the ACPI specification (see
+Section 6.1.2 of ACPI 6.0 for details) and the DT namespace is not one of them.
+Moreover, the specification mandates that either a _HID or an _ADR identification
+object be present for all ACPI objects representing devices (Section 6.1 of ACPI
+6.0). For non-enumerable bus types that object must be _HID and its value must
+be a device ID from one of the namespaces prescribed by the specification too.
+
+The special DT namespace link device ID, PRP0001, provides a means to use the
+existing DT-compatible device identification in ACPI and to satisfy the above
+requirements following from the ACPI specification at the same time. Namely,
+if PRP0001 is returned by _HID, the ACPI subsystem will look for the
+"compatible" property in the device object's _DSD and will use the value of that
+property to identify the corresponding device in analogy with the original DT
+device identification algorithm. If the "compatible" property is not present
+or its value is not valid, the device will not be enumerated by the ACPI
+subsystem. Otherwise, it will be enumerated automatically as a platform device
+(except when an I2C or SPI link from the device to its parent is present, in
+which case the ACPI core will leave the device enumeration to the parent's
+driver) and the identification strings from the "compatible" property value will
+be used to find a driver for the device along with the device IDs listed by _CID
+(if present).
+
+Analogously, if PRP0001 is present in the list of device IDs returned by _CID,
+the identification strings listed by the "compatible" property value (if present
+and valid) will be used to look for a driver matching the device, but in that
+case their relative priority with respect to the other device IDs listed by
+_HID and _CID depends on the position of PRP0001 in the _CID return package.
+Specifically, the device IDs returned by _HID and preceding PRP0001 in the _CID
+return package will be checked first. Also in that case the bus type the device
+will be enumerated to depends on the device ID returned by _HID.
+
+For example, the following ACPI sample might be used to enumerate an lm75-type
+I2C temperature sensor and match it to the driver using the Device Tree
+namespace link::
+
+ Device (TMP0)
+ {
+ Name (_HID, "PRP0001")
+ Name (_DSD, Package () {
+ ToUUID("daffd814-6eba-4d8c-8a91-bc9bbf4aa301"),
+ Package () {
+ Package () { "compatible", "ti,tmp75" },
+ }
+ })
+ Method (_CRS, 0, Serialized)
+ {
+ Name (SBUF, ResourceTemplate ()
+ {
+ I2cSerialBusV2 (0x48, ControllerInitiated,
+ 400000, AddressingMode7Bit,
+ "\\_SB.PCI0.I2C1", 0x00,
+ ResourceConsumer, , Exclusive,)
+ })
+ Return (SBUF)
+ }
+ }
+
+It is valid to define device objects with a _HID returning PRP0001 and without
+the "compatible" property in the _DSD or a _CID as long as one of their
+ancestors provides a _DSD with a valid "compatible" property. Such device
+objects are then simply regarded as additional "blocks" providing hierarchical
+configuration information to the driver of the composite ancestor device.
+
+However, PRP0001 can only be returned from either _HID or _CID of a device
+object if all of the properties returned by the _DSD associated with it (either
+the _DSD of the device object itself or the _DSD of its ancestor in the
+"composite device" case described above) can be used in the ACPI environment.
+Otherwise, the _DSD itself is regarded as invalid and therefore the "compatible"
+property returned by it is meaningless.
+
+Refer to Documentation/firmware-guide/acpi/DSD-properties-rules.rst for more
+information.
+
+PCI hierarchy representation
+============================
+
+Sometimes it could be useful to enumerate a PCI device, knowing its position on
+the PCI bus.
+
+For example, some systems use PCI devices soldered directly on the mother board,
+in a fixed position (ethernet, Wi-Fi, serial ports, etc.). In this conditions it
+is possible to refer to these PCI devices knowing their position on the PCI bus
+topology.
+
+To identify a PCI device, a complete hierarchical description is required, from
+the chipset root port to the final device, through all the intermediate
+bridges/switches of the board.
+
+For example, let's assume we have a system with a PCIe serial port, an
+Exar XR17V3521, soldered on the main board. This UART chip also includes
+16 GPIOs and we want to add the property ``gpio-line-names`` [1] to these pins.
+In this case, the ``lspci`` output for this component is::
+
+ 07:00.0 Serial controller: Exar Corp. XR17V3521 Dual PCIe UART (rev 03)
+
+The complete ``lspci`` output (manually reduced in length) is::
+
+ 00:00.0 Host bridge: Intel Corp... Host Bridge (rev 0d)
+ ...
+ 00:13.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corp... PCI Express Port A #1 (rev fd)
+ 00:13.1 PCI bridge: Intel Corp... PCI Express Port A #2 (rev fd)
+ 00:13.2 PCI bridge: Intel Corp... PCI Express Port A #3 (rev fd)
+ 00:14.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corp... PCI Express Port B #1 (rev fd)
+ 00:14.1 PCI bridge: Intel Corp... PCI Express Port B #2 (rev fd)
+ ...
+ 05:00.0 PCI bridge: Pericom Semiconductor Device 2404 (rev 05)
+ 06:01.0 PCI bridge: Pericom Semiconductor Device 2404 (rev 05)
+ 06:02.0 PCI bridge: Pericom Semiconductor Device 2404 (rev 05)
+ 06:03.0 PCI bridge: Pericom Semiconductor Device 2404 (rev 05)
+ 07:00.0 Serial controller: Exar Corp. XR17V3521 Dual PCIe UART (rev 03) <-- Exar
+ ...
+
+The bus topology is::
+
+ -[0000:00]-+-00.0
+ ...
+ +-13.0-[01]----00.0
+ +-13.1-[02]----00.0
+ +-13.2-[03]--
+ +-14.0-[04]----00.0
+ +-14.1-[05-09]----00.0-[06-09]--+-01.0-[07]----00.0 <-- Exar
+ | +-02.0-[08]----00.0
+ | \-03.0-[09]--
+ ...
+ \-1f.1
+
+To describe this Exar device on the PCI bus, we must start from the ACPI name
+of the chipset bridge (also called "root port") with address::
+
+ Bus: 0 - Device: 14 - Function: 1
+
+To find this information, it is necessary to disassemble the BIOS ACPI tables,
+in particular the DSDT (see also [2])::
+
+ mkdir ~/tables/
+ cd ~/tables/
+ acpidump > acpidump
+ acpixtract -a acpidump
+ iasl -e ssdt?.* -d dsdt.dat
+
+Now, in the dsdt.dsl, we have to search the device whose address is related to
+0x14 (device) and 0x01 (function). In this case we can find the following
+device::
+
+ Scope (_SB.PCI0)
+ {
+ ... other definitions follow ...
+ Device (RP02)
+ {
+ Method (_ADR, 0, NotSerialized) // _ADR: Address
+ {
+ If ((RPA2 != Zero))
+ {
+ Return (RPA2) /* \RPA2 */
+ }
+ Else
+ {
+ Return (0x00140001)
+ }
+ }
+ ... other definitions follow ...
+
+and the _ADR method [3] returns exactly the device/function couple that
+we are looking for. With this information and analyzing the above ``lspci``
+output (both the devices list and the devices tree), we can write the following
+ACPI description for the Exar PCIe UART, also adding the list of its GPIO line
+names::
+
+ Scope (_SB.PCI0.RP02)
+ {
+ Device (BRG1) //Bridge
+ {
+ Name (_ADR, 0x0000)
+
+ Device (BRG2) //Bridge
+ {
+ Name (_ADR, 0x00010000)
+
+ Device (EXAR)
+ {
+ Name (_ADR, 0x0000)
+
+ Name (_DSD, Package ()
+ {
+ ToUUID("daffd814-6eba-4d8c-8a91-bc9bbf4aa301"),
+ Package ()
+ {
+ Package ()
+ {
+ "gpio-line-names",
+ Package ()
+ {
+ "mode_232",
+ "mode_422",
+ "mode_485",
+ "misc_1",
+ "misc_2",
+ "misc_3",
+ "",
+ "",
+ "aux_1",
+ "aux_2",
+ "aux_3",
+ }
+ }
+ }
+ })
+ }
+ }
+ }
+ }
+
+The location "_SB.PCI0.RP02" is obtained by the above investigation in the
+dsdt.dsl table, whereas the device names "BRG1", "BRG2" and "EXAR" are
+created analyzing the position of the Exar UART in the PCI bus topology.

+Intel INT3496 ACPI device extcon driver documentation
+=====================================================
+
+The Intel INT3496 ACPI device extcon driver is a driver for ACPI
+devices with an acpi-id of INT3496, such as found for example on
+Intel Baytrail and Cherrytrail tablets.
+
+This ACPI device describes how the OS can read the id-pin of the devices'
+USB-otg port, as well as how it optionally can enable Vbus output on the
+otg port and how it can optionally control the muxing of the data pins
+between an USB host and an USB peripheral controller.
+
+The ACPI devices exposes this functionality by returning an array with up
+to 3 gpio descriptors from its ACPI _CRS (Current Resource Settings) call:
+
+======= =====================================================================
+Index 0 The input gpio for the id-pin, this is always present and valid
+Index 1 The output gpio for enabling Vbus output from the device to the otg
+ port, write 1 to enable the Vbus output (this gpio descriptor may
+ be absent or invalid)
+Index 2 The output gpio for muxing of the data pins between the USB host and
+ the USB peripheral controller, write 1 to mux to the peripheral
+ controller
+======= =====================================================================
+
+There is a mapping between indices and GPIO connection IDs as follows
+
+ ======= =======
+ id index 0
+ vbus index 1
+ mux index 2

+_DSD Device Properties Related to GPIO
+======================================
+
+With the release of ACPI 5.1, the _DSD configuration object finally
+allows names to be given to GPIOs (and other things as well) returned
+by _CRS. Previously, we were only able to use an integer index to find
+the corresponding GPIO, which is pretty error prone (it depends on
+the _CRS output ordering, for example).
+
+With _DSD we can now query GPIOs using a name instead of an integer
+index, like the ASL example below shows::
+
+ // Bluetooth device with reset and shutdown GPIOs
+ Device (BTH)
+ {
+ Name (_HID, ...)
+
+ Name (_CRS, ResourceTemplate ()
+ {
+ GpioIo (Exclusive, PullUp, 0, 0, IoRestrictionOutputOnly,
+ "\\_SB.GPO0", 0, ResourceConsumer) { 15 }
+ GpioIo (Exclusive, PullUp, 0, 0, IoRestrictionOutputOnly,
+ "\\_SB.GPO0", 0, ResourceConsumer) { 27, 31 }
+ })
+
+ Name (_DSD, Package ()
+ {
+ ToUUID("daffd814-6eba-4d8c-8a91-bc9bbf4aa301"),
+ Package ()
+ {
+ Package () { "reset-gpios", Package () { ^BTH, 1, 1, 0 } },
+ Package () { "shutdown-gpios", Package () { ^BTH, 0, 0, 0 } },
+ }
+ })
+ }
+
+The format of the supported GPIO property is::
+
+ Package () { "name", Package () { ref, index, pin, active_low }}
+
+ref
+ The device that has _CRS containing GpioIo()/GpioInt() resources,
+ typically this is the device itself (BTH in our case).
+index
+ Index of the GpioIo()/GpioInt() resource in _CRS starting from zero.
+pin
+ Pin in the GpioIo()/GpioInt() resource. Typically this is zero.
+active_low
+ If 1, the GPIO is marked as active_low.
+
+Since ACPI GpioIo() resource does not have a field saying whether it is
+active low or high, the "active_low" argument can be used here. Setting
+it to 1 marks the GPIO as active low.
+
+Note, active_low in _DSD does not make sense for GpioInt() resource and
+must be 0. GpioInt() resource has its own means of defining it.
+
+In our Bluetooth example the "reset-gpios" refers to the second GpioIo()
+resource, second pin in that resource with the GPIO number of 31.
+
+The GpioIo() resource unfortunately doesn't explicitly provide an initial
+state of the output pin which driver should use during its initialization.
+
+Linux tries to use common sense here and derives the state from the bias
+and polarity settings. The table below shows the expectations:
+
+========= ============= ==============
+Pull Bias Polarity Requested...
+========= ============= ==============
+Implicit x AS IS (assumed firmware configured for us)
+Explicit x (no _DSD) as Pull Bias (Up == High, Down == Low),
+ assuming non-active (Polarity = !Pull Bias)
+Down Low as low, assuming active
+Down High as low, assuming non-active
+Up Low as high, assuming non-active
+Up High as high, assuming active
+========= ============= ==============
+
+That said, for our above example the both GPIOs, since the bias setting
+is explicit and _DSD is present, will be treated as active with a high
+polarity and Linux will configure the pins in this state until a driver
+reprograms them differently.
+
+It is possible to leave holes in the array of GPIOs. This is useful in
+cases like with SPI host controllers where some chip selects may be
+implemented as GPIOs and some as native signals. For example a SPI host
+controller can have chip selects 0 and 2 implemented as GPIOs and 1 as
+native::
+
+ Package () {
+ "cs-gpios",
+ Package () {
+ ^GPIO, 19, 0, 0, // chip select 0: GPIO
+ 0, // chip select 1: native signal
+ ^GPIO, 20, 0, 0, // chip select 2: GPIO
+ }
+ }
+
+Note, that historically ACPI has no means of the GPIO polarity and thus
+the SPISerialBus() resource defines it on the per-chip basis. In order
+to avoid a chain of negations, the GPIO polarity is considered being
+Active High. Even for the cases when _DSD() is involved (see the example
+above) the GPIO CS polarity must be defined Active High to avoid ambiguity.
+
+Other supported properties
+==========================
+
+Following Device Tree compatible device properties are also supported by
+_DSD device properties for GPIO controllers:
+
+- gpio-hog
+- output-high
+- output-low
+- input
+- line-name
+
+Example::
+
+ Name (_DSD, Package () {
+ // _DSD Hierarchical Properties Extension UUID
+ ToUUID("dbb8e3e6-5886-4ba6-8795-1319f52a966b"),
+ Package () {
+ Package () { "hog-gpio8", "G8PU" }
+ }
+ })
+
+ Name (G8PU, Package () {
+ ToUUID("daffd814-6eba-4d8c-8a91-bc9bbf4aa301"),
+ Package () {
+ Package () { "gpio-hog", 1 },
+ Package () { "gpios", Package () { 8, 0 } },
+ Package () { "output-high", 1 },
+ Package () { "line-name", "gpio8-pullup" },
+ }
+ })
+
+- gpio-line-names
+
+The ``gpio-line-names`` declaration is a list of strings ("names"), which
+describes each line/pin of a GPIO controller/expander. This list, contained in
+a package, must be inserted inside the GPIO controller declaration of an ACPI
+table (typically inside the DSDT). The ``gpio-line-names`` list must respect the
+following rules (see also the examples):
+
+ - the first name in the list corresponds with the first line/pin of the GPIO
+ controller/expander
+ - the names inside the list must be consecutive (no "holes" are permitted)
+ - the list can be incomplete and can end before the last GPIO line: in
+ other words, it is not mandatory to fill all the GPIO lines
+ - empty names are allowed (two quotation marks ``""`` correspond to an empty
+ name)
+ - names inside one GPIO controller/expander must be unique
+
+Example of a GPIO controller of 16 lines, with an incomplete list with two
+empty names::
+
+ Package () {
+ "gpio-line-names",
+ Package () {
+ "pin_0",
+ "pin_1",
+ "",
+ "",
+ "pin_3",
+ "pin_4_push_button",
+ }
+ }
+
+At runtime, the above declaration produces the following result (using the
+"libgpiod" tools)::
+
+ root@debian:~# gpioinfo gpiochip4
+ gpiochip4 - 16 lines:
+ line 0: "pin_0" unused input active-high
+ line 1: "pin_1" unused input active-high
+ line 2: unnamed unused input active-high
+ line 3: unnamed unused input active-high
+ line 4: "pin_3" unused input active-high
+ line 5: "pin_4_push_button" unused input active-high
+ line 6: unnamed unused input active-high
+ line 7 unnamed unused input active-high
+ line 8: unnamed unused input active-high
+ line 9: unnamed unused input active-high

+ line 14: unnamed unused input active-high
+ line 15: unnamed unused input active-high
+ root@debian:~# gpiofind pin_4_push_button

+ }
+ }

+
+ACPI GPIO Mappings Provided by Drivers
+======================================
+
+There are systems in which the ACPI tables do not contain _DSD but provide _CRS
+with GpioIo()/GpioInt() resources and device drivers still need to work with
+them.
+
+In those cases ACPI device identification objects, _HID, _CID, _CLS, _SUB, _HRV,
+available to the driver can be used to identify the device and that is supposed
+to be sufficient to determine the meaning and purpose of all of the GPIO lines
+listed by the GpioIo()/GpioInt() resources returned by _CRS. In other words,
+the driver is supposed to know what to use the GpioIo()/GpioInt() resources for
+once it has identified the device. Having done that, it can simply assign names
+to the GPIO lines it is going to use and provide the GPIO subsystem with a
+mapping between those names and the ACPI GPIO resources corresponding to them.
+
+To do that, the driver needs to define a mapping table as a NULL-terminated
+array of struct acpi_gpio_mapping objects that each contains a name, a pointer
+to an array of line data (struct acpi_gpio_params) objects and the size of that
+array. Each struct acpi_gpio_params object consists of three fields,
+crs_entry_index, line_index, active_low, representing the index of the target
+GpioIo()/GpioInt() resource in _CRS starting from zero, the index of the target
+line in that resource starting from zero, and the active-low flag for that line,
+respectively, in analogy with the _DSD GPIO property format specified above.
+
+For the example Bluetooth device discussed previously the data structures in
+question would look like this::
+
+ static const struct acpi_gpio_params reset_gpio = { 1, 1, false };
+ static const struct acpi_gpio_params shutdown_gpio = { 0, 0, false };
+
+ static const struct acpi_gpio_mapping bluetooth_acpi_gpios[] = {
+ { "reset-gpios", &reset_gpio, 1 },
+ { "shutdown-gpios", &shutdown_gpio, 1 },
+ { }
+ };
+
+Next, the mapping table needs to be passed as the second argument to
+acpi_dev_add_driver_gpios() or its managed analogue that will
+register it with the ACPI device object pointed to by its first
+argument. That should be done in the driver's .probe() routine.
+On removal, the driver should unregister its GPIO mapping table by
+calling acpi_dev_remove_driver_gpios() on the ACPI device object where that
+table was previously registered.
+
+Using the _CRS fallback
+=======================
+
+If a device does not have _DSD or the driver does not create ACPI GPIO
+mapping, the Linux GPIO framework refuses to return any GPIOs. This is
+because the driver does not know what it actually gets. For example if we
+have a device like below::
+
+ Device (BTH)
+ {
+ Name (_HID, ...)
+
+ Name (_CRS, ResourceTemplate () {
+ GpioIo (Exclusive, PullNone, 0, 0, IoRestrictionNone,
+ "\\_SB.GPO0", 0, ResourceConsumer) { 15 }
+ GpioIo (Exclusive, PullNone, 0, 0, IoRestrictionNone,
+ "\\_SB.GPO0", 0, ResourceConsumer) { 27 }
+ })
+ }
+
+The driver might expect to get the right GPIO when it does::
+
+ desc = gpiod_get(dev, "reset", GPIOD_OUT_LOW);
+ if (IS_ERR(desc))
+ ...error handling...
+
+but since there is no way to know the mapping between "reset" and
+the GpioIo() in _CRS desc will hold ERR_PTR(-ENOENT).
+
+The driver author can solve this by passing the mapping explicitly
+(this is the recommended way and it's documented in the above chapter).
+
+The ACPI GPIO mapping tables should not contaminate drivers that are not
+knowing about which exact device they are servicing on. It implies that
+the ACPI GPIO mapping tables are hardly linked to an ACPI ID and certain
+objects, as listed in the above chapter, of the device in question.
+
+Getting GPIO descriptor
+=======================
+
+There are two main approaches to get GPIO resource from ACPI::
+
+ desc = gpiod_get(dev, connection_id, flags);
+ desc = gpiod_get_index(dev, connection_id, index, flags);
+
+We may consider two different cases here, i.e. when connection ID is
+provided and otherwise.
+
+Case 1::
+
+ desc = gpiod_get(dev, "non-null-connection-id", flags);
+ desc = gpiod_get_index(dev, "non-null-connection-id", index, flags);
+
+Case 2::
+
+ desc = gpiod_get(dev, NULL, flags);
+ desc = gpiod_get_index(dev, NULL, index, flags);
+
+Case 1 assumes that corresponding ACPI device description must have
+defined device properties and will prevent to getting any GPIO resources
+otherwise.
+
+Case 2 explicitly tells GPIO core to look for resources in _CRS.
+
+Be aware that gpiod_get_index() in cases 1 and 2, assuming that there
+are two versions of ACPI device description provided and no mapping is
+present in the driver, will return different resources. That's why a
+certain driver has to handle them carefully as explained in the previous
+chapter.

+Intel North Mux-Agent
+=====================
+
+Introduction
+============
+
+North Mux-Agent is a function of the Intel PMC firmware that is supported on
+most Intel based platforms that have the PMC microcontroller. It's used for
+configuring the various USB Multiplexer/DeMultiplexers on the system. The
+platforms that allow the mux-agent to be configured from the operating system
+have an ACPI device object (node) with HID "INTC105C" that represents it.
+
+The North Mux-Agent (aka. Intel PMC Mux Control, or just mux-agent) driver
+communicates with the PMC microcontroller by using the PMC IPC method
+(drivers/platform/x86/intel_scu_ipc.c). The driver registers with the USB Type-C
+Mux Class which allows the USB Type-C Controller and Interface drivers to
+configure the cable plug orientation and mode (with Alternate Modes). The driver
+also registers with the USB Role Class in order to support both USB Host and
+Device modes. The driver is located here: drivers/usb/typec/mux/intel_pmc_mux.c.
+
+Port nodes
+==========
+
+General
+-------
+
+For every USB Type-C connector under the mux-agent control on the system, there
+is a separate child node under the PMC mux-agent device node. Those nodes do not
+represent the actual connectors, but instead the "channels" in the mux-agent
+that are associated with the connectors::
+
+ Scope (_SB.PCI0.PMC.MUX)
+ {
+ Device (CH0)
+ {
+ Name (_ADR, 0)
+ }
+
+ Device (CH1)
+ {
+ Name (_ADR, 1)
+ }
+ }
+
+_PLD (Physical Location of Device)
+----------------------------------
+
+The optional _PLD object can be used with the port (the channel) nodes. If _PLD
+is supplied, it should match the connector node _PLD::
+
+ Scope (_SB.PCI0.PMC.MUX)
+ {
+ Device (CH0)
+ {
+ Name (_ADR, 0)
+ Method (_PLD, 0, NotSerialized)
+ {
+ /* Consider this as pseudocode. */
+ Return (\_SB.USBC.CON0._PLD())
+ }
+ }
+ }
+
+Mux-agent specific _DSD Device Properties
+-----------------------------------------
+
+Port Numbers
+~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+In order to configure the muxes behind a USB Type-C connector, the PMC firmware
+needs to know the USB2 port and the USB3 port that is associated with the
+connector. The driver extracts the correct port numbers by reading specific _DSD
+device properties named "usb2-port-number" and "usb3-port-number". These
+properties have integer value that means the port index. The port index number
+is 1's based, and value 0 is illegal. The driver uses the numbers extracted from
+these device properties as-is when sending the mux-agent specific messages to
+the PMC::
+
+ Name (_DSD, Package () {
+ ToUUID("daffd814-6eba-4d8c-8a91-bc9bbf4aa301"),
+ Package() {
+ Package () {"usb2-port-number", 6},
+ Package () {"usb3-port-number", 3},
+ },
+ })
+
+Orientation
+~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Depending on the platform, the data and SBU lines coming from the connector may
+be "fixed" from the mux-agent's point of view, which means the mux-agent driver
+should not configure them according to the cable plug orientation. This can
+happen for example if a retimer on the platform handles the cable plug
+orientation. The driver uses a specific device properties "sbu-orientation"
+(SBU) and "hsl-orientation" (data) to know if those lines are "fixed", and to
+which orientation. The value that these properties have is a string value, and
+it can be one that is defined for the USB Type-C connector orientation: "normal"
+or "reversed"::
+
+ Name (_DSD, Package () {
+ ToUUID("daffd814-6eba-4d8c-8a91-bc9bbf4aa301"),
+ Package() {
+ Package () {"sbu-orientation", "normal"},
+ Package () {"hsl-orientation", "normal"},
+ },
+ })
+
+Example ASL
+===========
+
+The following ASL is an example that shows the mux-agent node, and two
+connectors under its control::
+
+ Scope (_SB.PCI0.PMC)
+ {
+ Device (MUX)
+ {
+ Name (_HID, "INTC105C")
+
+ Device (CH0)
+ {
+ Name (_ADR, 0)
+
+ Name (_DSD, Package () {
+ ToUUID("daffd814-6eba-4d8c-8a91-bc9bbf4aa301"),
+ Package() {
+ Package () {"usb2-port-number", 6},
+ Package () {"usb3-port-number", 3},
+ Package () {"sbu-orientation", "normal"},
+ Package () {"hsl-orientation", "normal"},
+ },
+ })
+ }
+
+ Device (CH1)
+ {
+ Name (_ADR, 1)
+
+ Name (_DSD, Package () {
+ ToUUID("daffd814-6eba-4d8c-8a91-bc9bbf4aa301"),
+ Package() {
+ Package () {"usb2-port-number", 5},
+ Package () {"usb3-port-number", 2},
+ Package () {"sbu-orientation", "normal"},
+ Package () {"hsl-orientation", "normal"},
+ },
+ })
+ }

+Low Power Idle Table (LPIT)
+===========================
+
+To enumerate platform Low Power Idle states, Intel platforms are using
+“Low Power Idle Table” (LPIT). More details about this table can be
+downloaded from:
+https://www.uefi.org/sites/default/files/resources/Intel_ACPI_Low_Power_S0_Idle.pdf
+
+Residencies for each low power state can be read via FFH
+(Function fixed hardware) or a memory mapped interface.
+
+On platforms supporting S0ix sleep states, there can be two types of
+residencies:
+
+ - CPU PKG C10 (Read via FFH interface)
+ - Platform Controller Hub (PCH) SLP_S0 (Read via memory mapped interface)
+
+The following attributes are added dynamically to the cpuidle
+sysfs attribute group::
+
+ /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuidle/low_power_idle_cpu_residency_us
+ /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuidle/low_power_idle_system_residency_us
+
+The "low_power_idle_cpu_residency_us" attribute shows time spent
+by the CPU package in PKG C10
+
+The "low_power_idle_system_residency_us" attribute shows SLP_S0
+residency, or system time spent with the SLP_S0# signal asserted.
+This is the lowest possible system power state, achieved only when CPU is in
+PKG C10 and all functional blocks in PCH are in a low power state.

+=======================================
+Linux ACPI Custom Control Method How To
+=======================================
+
+:Author: Zhang Rui <rui.zhang@intel.com>
+
+
+Linux supports customizing ACPI control methods at runtime.
+
+Users can use this to:
+
+1. override an existing method which may not work correctly,
+ or just for debugging purposes.
+2. insert a completely new method in order to create a missing
+ method such as _OFF, _ON, _STA, _INI, etc.
+
+For these cases, it is far simpler to dynamically install a single
+control method rather than override the entire DSDT, because kernel
+rebuild/reboot is not needed and test result can be got in minutes.
+
+.. note::
+
+ - Only ACPI METHOD can be overridden, any other object types like
+ "Device", "OperationRegion", are not recognized. Methods
+ declared inside scope operators are also not supported.
+
+ - The same ACPI control method can be overridden for many times,
+ and it's always the latest one that used by Linux/kernel.
+
+ - To get the ACPI debug object output (Store (AAAA, Debug)),
+ please run::
+
+ echo 1 > /sys/module/acpi/parameters/aml_debug_output
+
+
+1. override an existing method
+==============================
+a) get the ACPI table via ACPI sysfs I/F. e.g. to get the DSDT,
+ just run "cat /sys/firmware/acpi/tables/DSDT > /tmp/dsdt.dat"
+b) disassemble the table by running "iasl -d dsdt.dat".
+c) rewrite the ASL code of the method and save it in a new file,
+d) package the new file (psr.asl) to an ACPI table format.
+ Here is an example of a customized \_SB._AC._PSR method::
+
+ DefinitionBlock ("", "SSDT", 1, "", "", 0x20080715)
+ {
+ Method (\_SB_.AC._PSR, 0, NotSerialized)
+ {
+ Store ("In AC _PSR", Debug)
+ Return (ACON)
+ }
+ }
+
+ Note that the full pathname of the method in ACPI namespace
+ should be used.
+e) assemble the file to generate the AML code of the method.
+ e.g. "iasl -vw 6084 psr.asl" (psr.aml is generated as a result)
+ If parameter "-vw 6084" is not supported by your iASL compiler,
+ please try a newer version.
+f) mount debugfs by "mount -t debugfs none /sys/kernel/debug"
+g) override the old method via the debugfs by running
+ "cat /tmp/psr.aml > /sys/kernel/debug/acpi/custom_method"
+
+2. insert a new method
+======================
+This is easier than overriding an existing method.
+We just need to create the ASL code of the method we want to
+insert and then follow the step c) ~ g) in section 1.
+
+3. undo your changes
+====================
+The "undo" operation is not supported for a new inserted method
+right now, i.e. we can not remove a method currently.
+For an overridden method, in order to undo your changes, please
+save a copy of the method original ASL code in step c) section 1,
+and redo step c) ~ g) to override the method with the original one.
+
+
+.. note:: We can use a kernel with multiple custom ACPI method running,
+ But each individual write to debugfs can implement a SINGLE
+ method override. i.e. if we want to insert/override multiple
+ ACPI methods, we need to redo step c) ~ g) for multiple times.
+
+.. note:: Be aware that root can mis-use this driver to modify arbitrary
+ memory and gain additional rights, if root's privileges got
+ restricted (for example if root is not allowed to load additional
+ modules after boot).

+ACPICA Trace Facility
+=====================
+
+:Copyright: |copy| 2015, Intel Corporation
+:Author: Lv Zheng <lv.zheng@intel.com>
+
+
+Abstract
+========
+This document describes the functions and the interfaces of the
+method tracing facility.
+
+Functionalities and usage examples
+==================================
+
+ACPICA provides method tracing capability. And two functions are
+currently implemented using this capability.
+
+Log reducer
+-----------
+
+ACPICA subsystem provides debugging outputs when CONFIG_ACPI_DEBUG is
+enabled. The debugging messages which are deployed via
+ACPI_DEBUG_PRINT() macro can be reduced at 2 levels - per-component
+level (known as debug layer, configured via
+/sys/module/acpi/parameters/debug_layer) and per-type level (known as
+debug level, configured via /sys/module/acpi/parameters/debug_level).
+
+But when the particular layer/level is applied to the control method
+evaluations, the quantity of the debugging outputs may still be too
+large to be put into the kernel log buffer. The idea thus is worked out
+to only enable the particular debug layer/level (normally more detailed)
+logs when the control method evaluation is started, and disable the
+detailed logging when the control method evaluation is stopped.
+
+The following command examples illustrate the usage of the "log reducer"
+functionality:
+
+a. Filter out the debug layer/level matched logs when control methods
+ are being evaluated::
+
+ # cd /sys/module/acpi/parameters
+ # echo "0xXXXXXXXX" > trace_debug_layer
+ # echo "0xYYYYYYYY" > trace_debug_level
+ # echo "enable" > trace_state
+
+b. Filter out the debug layer/level matched logs when the specified
+ control method is being evaluated::
+
+ # cd /sys/module/acpi/parameters
+ # echo "0xXXXXXXXX" > trace_debug_layer
+ # echo "0xYYYYYYYY" > trace_debug_level
+ # echo "\PPPP.AAAA.TTTT.HHHH" > trace_method_name
+ # echo "method" > /sys/module/acpi/parameters/trace_state
+
+c. Filter out the debug layer/level matched logs when the specified
+ control method is being evaluated for the first time::
+
+ # cd /sys/module/acpi/parameters
+ # echo "0xXXXXXXXX" > trace_debug_layer
+ # echo "0xYYYYYYYY" > trace_debug_level
+ # echo "\PPPP.AAAA.TTTT.HHHH" > trace_method_name
+ # echo "method-once" > /sys/module/acpi/parameters/trace_state
+
+Where:
+ 0xXXXXXXXX/0xYYYYYYYY
+ Refer to Documentation/firmware-guide/acpi/debug.rst for possible debug layer/level
+ masking values.
+ \PPPP.AAAA.TTTT.HHHH
+ Full path of a control method that can be found in the ACPI namespace.
+ It needn't be an entry of a control method evaluation.
+
+AML tracer
+----------
+
+There are special log entries added by the method tracing facility at
+the "trace points" the AML interpreter starts/stops to execute a control
+method, or an AML opcode. Note that the format of the log entries are
+subject to change::
+
+ [ 0.186427] exdebug-0398 ex_trace_point : Method Begin [0xf58394d8:\_SB.PCI0.LPCB.ECOK] execution.
+ [ 0.186630] exdebug-0398 ex_trace_point : Opcode Begin [0xf5905c88:If] execution.
+ [ 0.186820] exdebug-0398 ex_trace_point : Opcode Begin [0xf5905cc0:LEqual] execution.
+ [ 0.187010] exdebug-0398 ex_trace_point : Opcode Begin [0xf5905a20:-NamePath-] execution.
+ [ 0.187214] exdebug-0398 ex_trace_point : Opcode End [0xf5905a20:-NamePath-] execution.
+ [ 0.187407] exdebug-0398 ex_trace_point : Opcode Begin [0xf5905f60:One] execution.
+ [ 0.187594] exdebug-0398 ex_trace_point : Opcode End [0xf5905f60:One] execution.
+ [ 0.187789] exdebug-0398 ex_trace_point : Opcode End [0xf5905cc0:LEqual] execution.
+ [ 0.187980] exdebug-0398 ex_trace_point : Opcode Begin [0xf5905cc0:Return] execution.
+ [ 0.188146] exdebug-0398 ex_trace_point : Opcode Begin [0xf5905f60:One] execution.
+ [ 0.188334] exdebug-0398 ex_trace_point : Opcode End [0xf5905f60:One] execution.
+ [ 0.188524] exdebug-0398 ex_trace_point : Opcode End [0xf5905cc0:Return] execution.
+ [ 0.188712] exdebug-0398 ex_trace_point : Opcode End [0xf5905c88:If] execution.
+ [ 0.188903] exdebug-0398 ex_trace_point : Method End [0xf58394d8:\_SB.PCI0.LPCB.ECOK] execution.
+
+Developers can utilize these special log entries to track the AML
+interpretation, thus can aid issue debugging and performance tuning. Note
+that, as the "AML tracer" logs are implemented via ACPI_DEBUG_PRINT()
+macro, CONFIG_ACPI_DEBUG is also required to be enabled for enabling
+"AML tracer" logs.
+
+The following command examples illustrate the usage of the "AML tracer"
+functionality:
+
+a. Filter out the method start/stop "AML tracer" logs when control
+ methods are being evaluated::
+
+ # cd /sys/module/acpi/parameters
+ # echo "0x80" > trace_debug_layer
+ # echo "0x10" > trace_debug_level
+ # echo "enable" > trace_state
+
+b. Filter out the method start/stop "AML tracer" when the specified
+ control method is being evaluated::
+
+ # cd /sys/module/acpi/parameters
+ # echo "0x80" > trace_debug_layer
+ # echo "0x10" > trace_debug_level
+ # echo "\PPPP.AAAA.TTTT.HHHH" > trace_method_name
+ # echo "method" > trace_state
+
+c. Filter out the method start/stop "AML tracer" logs when the specified
+ control method is being evaluated for the first time::
+
+ # cd /sys/module/acpi/parameters
+ # echo "0x80" > trace_debug_layer
+ # echo "0x10" > trace_debug_level
+ # echo "\PPPP.AAAA.TTTT.HHHH" > trace_method_name
+ # echo "method-once" > trace_state
+
+d. Filter out the method/opcode start/stop "AML tracer" when the
+ specified control method is being evaluated::
+
+ # cd /sys/module/acpi/parameters
+ # echo "0x80" > trace_debug_layer
+ # echo "0x10" > trace_debug_level
+ # echo "\PPPP.AAAA.TTTT.HHHH" > trace_method_name
+ # echo "opcode" > trace_state
+
+e. Filter out the method/opcode start/stop "AML tracer" when the
+ specified control method is being evaluated for the first time::
+
+ # cd /sys/module/acpi/parameters
+ # echo "0x80" > trace_debug_layer
+ # echo "0x10" > trace_debug_level
+ # echo "\PPPP.AAAA.TTTT.HHHH" > trace_method_name
+ # echo "opcode-opcode" > trace_state
+
+Note that all above method tracing facility related module parameters can
+be used as the boot parameters, for example::
+
+ acpi.trace_debug_layer=0x80 acpi.trace_debug_level=0x10 \
+ acpi.trace_method_name=\_SB.LID0._LID acpi.trace_state=opcode-once
+
+
+Interface descriptions
+======================
+
+All method tracing functions can be configured via ACPI module
+parameters that are accessible at /sys/module/acpi/parameters/:
+
+trace_method_name
+ The full path of the AML method that the user wants to trace.
+
+ Note that the full path shouldn't contain the trailing "_"s in its
+ name segments but may contain "\" to form an absolute path.
+
+trace_debug_layer
+ The temporary debug_layer used when the tracing feature is enabled.
+
+ Using ACPI_EXECUTER (0x80) by default, which is the debug_layer
+ used to match all "AML tracer" logs.
+
+trace_debug_level
+ The temporary debug_level used when the tracing feature is enabled.
+
+ Using ACPI_LV_TRACE_POINT (0x10) by default, which is the
+ debug_level used to match all "AML tracer" logs.
+
+trace_state
+ The status of the tracing feature.
+
+ Users can enable/disable this debug tracing feature by executing
+ the following command::
+
+ # echo string > /sys/module/acpi/parameters/trace_state
+
+Where "string" should be one of the following:
+
+"disable"
+ Disable the method tracing feature.
+
+"enable"
+ Enable the method tracing feature.
+
+ ACPICA debugging messages matching "trace_debug_layer/trace_debug_level"
+ during any method execution will be logged.
+
+"method"
+ Enable the method tracing feature.

+Abstract
+========
+The Linux ACPI subsystem converts ACPI namespace objects into a Linux
+device tree under the /sys/devices/LNXSYSTEM:00 and updates it upon
+receiving ACPI hotplug notification events. For each device object
+in this hierarchy there is a corresponding symbolic link in the
+/sys/bus/acpi/devices.
+
+This document illustrates the structure of the ACPI device tree.
+
+ACPI Definition Blocks
+======================
+
+The ACPI firmware sets up RSDP (Root System Description Pointer) in the
+system memory address space pointing to the XSDT (Extended System
+Description Table). The XSDT always points to the FADT (Fixed ACPI
+Description Table) using its first entry, the data within the FADT
+includes various fixed-length entries that describe fixed ACPI features
+of the hardware. The FADT contains a pointer to the DSDT
+(Differentiated System Descripition Table). The XSDT also contains
+entries pointing to possibly multiple SSDTs (Secondary System
+Description Table).
+
+The DSDT and SSDT data is organized in data structures called definition
+blocks that contain definitions of various objects, including ACPI
+control methods, encoded in AML (ACPI Machine Language). The data block
+of the DSDT along with the contents of SSDTs represents a hierarchical
+data structure called the ACPI namespace whose topology reflects the
+structure of the underlying hardware platform.
+
+The relationships between ACPI System Definition Tables described above
+are illustrated in the following diagram::
+
+ +---------+ +-------+ +--------+ +------------------------+
+ | RSDP | +->| XSDT | +->| FADT | | +-------------------+ |

+
+.. note:: RSDP can also contain a pointer to the RSDT (Root System
+ Description Table). Platforms provide RSDT to enable
+ compatibility with ACPI 1.0 operating systems. The OS is expected
+ to use XSDT, if present.
+
+
+Example ACPI Namespace
+======================
+
+All definition blocks are loaded into a single namespace. The namespace
+is a hierarchy of objects identified by names and paths.
+The following naming conventions apply to object names in the ACPI
+namespace:
+
+ 1. All names are 32 bits long.
+ 2. The first byte of a name must be one of 'A' - 'Z', '_'.
+ 3. Each of the remaining bytes of a name must be one of 'A' - 'Z', '0'
+ - '9', '_'.
+ 4. Names starting with '_' are reserved by the ACPI specification.
+ 5. The '\' symbol represents the root of the namespace (i.e. names
+ prepended with '\' are relative to the namespace root).
+ 6. The '^' symbol represents the parent of the current namespace node
+ (i.e. names prepended with '^' are relative to the parent of the
+ current namespace node).
+
+The figure below shows an example ACPI namespace::
+

+Linux ACPI Device Objects
+=========================
+
+The Linux kernel's core ACPI subsystem creates struct acpi_device
+objects for ACPI namespace objects representing devices, power resources
+processors, thermal zones. Those objects are exported to user space via
+sysfs as directories in the subtree under /sys/devices/LNXSYSTM:00. The
+format of their names is <bus_id:instance>, where 'bus_id' refers to the
+ACPI namespace representation of the given object and 'instance' is used
+for distinguishing different object of the same 'bus_id' (it is
+two-digit decimal representation of an unsigned integer).
+
+The value of 'bus_id' depends on the type of the object whose name it is
+part of as listed in the table below::
+
+ +---+-----------------+-------+----------+
+ | | Object/Feature | Table | bus_id |
+ +---+-----------------+-------+----------+
+ | N | Root | xSDT | LNXSYSTM |
+ +---+-----------------+-------+----------+
+ | N | Device | xSDT | _HID |
+ +---+-----------------+-------+----------+
+ | N | Processor | xSDT | LNXCPU |

+
+ Table 1. ACPI Namespace Objects Mapping
+
+The following rules apply when creating struct acpi_device objects on
+the basis of the contents of ACPI System Description Tables (as
+indicated by the letter in the first column and the notation in the
+second column of the table above):
+
+ N:
+ The object's source is an ACPI namespace node (as indicated by the
+ named object's type in the second column). In that case the object's
+ directory in sysfs will contain the 'path' attribute whose value is
+ the full path to the node from the namespace root.
+ F:
+ The struct acpi_device object is created for a fixed hardware
+ feature (as indicated by the fixed feature flag's name in the second
+ column), so its sysfs directory will not contain the 'path'
+ attribute.
+ M:
+ The struct acpi_device object is created for an ACPI namespace node
+ with specific control methods (as indicated by the ACPI defined
+ device's type in the second column). The 'path' attribute containing
+ its namespace path will be present in its sysfs directory. For
+ example, if the _BCL method is present for an ACPI namespace node, a
+ struct acpi_device object with LNXVIDEO 'bus_id' will be created for
+ it.
+
+The third column of the above table indicates which ACPI System
+Description Tables contain information used for the creation of the
+struct acpi_device objects represented by the given row (xSDT means DSDT
+or SSDT).
+
+The fourth column of the above table indicates the 'bus_id' generation
+rule of the struct acpi_device object:
+
+ _HID:
+ _HID in the last column of the table means that the object's bus_id
+ is derived from the _HID/_CID identification objects present under
+ the corresponding ACPI namespace node. The object's sysfs directory
+ will then contain the 'hid' and 'modalias' attributes that can be
+ used to retrieve the _HID and _CIDs of that object.
+ LNXxxxxx:
+ The 'modalias' attribute is also present for struct acpi_device
+ objects having bus_id of the "LNXxxxxx" form (pseudo devices), in
+ which cases it contains the bus_id string itself.
+ device:
+ 'device' in the last column of the table indicates that the object's
+ bus_id cannot be determined from _HID/_CID of the corresponding
+ ACPI namespace node, although that object represents a device (for
+ example, it may be a PCI device with _ADR defined and without _HID
+ or _CID). In that case the string 'device' will be used as the
+ object's bus_id.
+
+
+Linux ACPI Physical Device Glue
+===============================
+
+ACPI device (i.e. struct acpi_device) objects may be linked to other
+objects in the Linux' device hierarchy that represent "physical" devices
+(for example, devices on the PCI bus). If that happens, it means that
+the ACPI device object is a "companion" of a device otherwise
+represented in a different way and is used (1) to provide configuration
+information on that device which cannot be obtained by other means and
+(2) to do specific things to the device with the help of its ACPI
+control methods. One ACPI device object may be linked this way to
+multiple "physical" devices.
+
+If an ACPI device object is linked to a "physical" device, its sysfs
+directory contains the "physical_node" symbolic link to the sysfs
+directory of the target device object. In turn, the target device's
+sysfs directory will then contain the "firmware_node" symbolic link to
+the sysfs directory of the companion ACPI device object.
+The linking mechanism relies on device identification provided by the
+ACPI namespace. For example, if there's an ACPI namespace object
+representing a PCI device (i.e. a device object under an ACPI namespace
+object representing a PCI bridge) whose _ADR returns 0x00020000 and the
+bus number of the parent PCI bridge is 0, the sysfs directory
+representing the struct acpi_device object created for that ACPI
+namespace object will contain the 'physical_node' symbolic link to the
+/sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:02:0/ sysfs directory of the
+corresponding PCI device.
+
+The linking mechanism is generally bus-specific. The core of its
+implementation is located in the drivers/acpi/glue.c file, but there are
+complementary parts depending on the bus types in question located
+elsewhere. For example, the PCI-specific part of it is located in
+drivers/pci/pci-acpi.c.
+
+

+example ACPI namespace illustrated in Figure 2 with the addition of
+fixed PWR_BUTTON/SLP_BUTTON devices is shown below::

+Probing devices in other D states than 0
+========================================
+
+Introduction
+============
+
+In some cases it may be preferred to leave certain devices powered off for the
+entire system bootup if powering on these devices has adverse side effects,
+beyond just powering on the said device.
+
+How it works
+============
+
+The _DSC (Device State for Configuration) object that evaluates to an integer
+may be used to tell Linux the highest allowed D state for a device during
+probe. The support for _DSC requires support from the kernel bus type if the
+bus driver normally sets the device in D0 state for probe.
+
+The downside of using _DSC is that as the device is not powered on, even if
+there's a problem with the device, the driver likely probes just fine but the
+first user will find out the device doesn't work, instead of a failure at probe
+time. This feature should thus be used sparingly.
+
+I²C
+---
+
+If an I²C driver indicates its support for this by setting the
+I2C_DRV_ACPI_WAIVE_D0_PROBE flag in struct i2c_driver.flags field and the
+_DSC object evaluates to integer higher than the D state of the device,
+the device will not be powered on (put in D0 state) for probe.
+
+D states
+--------
+
+The D states and thus also the allowed values for _DSC are listed below. Refer
+to [1] for more information on device power states.

+==========================
+ACPI _OSI and _REV methods
+==========================
+
+An ACPI BIOS can use the "Operating System Interfaces" method (_OSI)
+to find out what the operating system supports. Eg. If BIOS
+AML code includes _OSI("XYZ"), the kernel's AML interpreter
+can evaluate that method, look to see if it supports 'XYZ'
+and answer YES or NO to the BIOS.
+
+The ACPI _REV method returns the "Revision of the ACPI specification
+that OSPM supports"
+
+This document explains how and why the BIOS and Linux should use these methods.
+It also explains how and why they are widely misused.
+
+How to use _OSI
+===============
+
+Linux runs on two groups of machines -- those that are tested by the OEM
+to be compatible with Linux, and those that were never tested with Linux,
+but where Linux was installed to replace the original OS (Windows or OSX).
+
+The larger group is the systems tested to run only Windows. Not only that,
+but many were tested to run with just one specific version of Windows.
+So even though the BIOS may use _OSI to query what version of Windows is running,
+only a single path through the BIOS has actually been tested.
+Experience shows that taking untested paths through the BIOS
+exposes Linux to an entire category of BIOS bugs.
+For this reason, Linux _OSI defaults must continue to claim compatibility
+with all versions of Windows.
+
+But Linux isn't actually compatible with Windows, and the Linux community
+has also been hurt with regressions when Linux adds the latest version of
+Windows to its list of _OSI strings. So it is possible that additional strings
+will be more thoroughly vetted before shipping upstream in the future.
+But it is likely that they will all eventually be added.
+
+What should an OEM do if they want to support Linux and Windows
+using the same BIOS image? Often they need to do something different
+for Linux to deal with how Linux is different from Windows.
+
+In this case, the OEM should create custom ASL to be executed by the
+Linux kernel and changes to Linux kernel drivers to execute this custom
+ASL. The easiest way to accomplish this is to introduce a device specific
+method (_DSM) that is called from the Linux kernel.
+
+In the past the kernel used to support something like:
+_OSI("Linux-OEM-my_interface_name")
+where 'OEM' is needed if this is an OEM-specific hook,
+and 'my_interface_name' describes the hook, which could be a
+quirk, a bug, or a bug-fix.
+
+However this was discovered to be abused by other BIOS vendors to change
+completely unrelated code on completely unrelated systems. This prompted
+an evaluation of all of it's uses. This uncovered that they aren't needed
+for any of the original reasons. As such, the kernel will not respond to
+any custom Linux-* strings by default.
+
+That was easy. Read on, to find out how to do it wrong.
+
+Before _OSI, there was _OS
+==========================
+
+ACPI 1.0 specified "_OS" as an
+"object that evaluates to a string that identifies the operating system."
+
+The ACPI BIOS flow would include an evaluation of _OS, and the AML
+interpreter in the kernel would return to it a string identifying the OS:
+
+Windows 98, SE: "Microsoft Windows"
+Windows ME: "Microsoft WindowsME:Millennium Edition"
+Windows NT: "Microsoft Windows NT"
+
+The idea was on a platform tasked with running multiple OS's,
+the BIOS could use _OS to enable devices that an OS
+might support, or enable quirks or bug workarounds
+necessary to make the platform compatible with that pre-existing OS.
+
+But _OS had fundamental problems. First, the BIOS needed to know the name
+of every possible version of the OS that would run on it, and needed to know
+all the quirks of those OS's. Certainly it would make more sense
+for the BIOS to ask *specific* things of the OS, such
+"do you support a specific interface", and thus in ACPI 3.0,
+_OSI was born to replace _OS.
+
+_OS was abandoned, though even today, many BIOS look for
+_OS "Microsoft Windows NT", though it seems somewhat far-fetched
+that anybody would install those old operating systems
+over what came with the machine.
+
+Linux answers "Microsoft Windows NT" to please that BIOS idiom.
+That is the *only* viable strategy, as that is what modern Windows does,
+and so doing otherwise could steer the BIOS down an untested path.
+
+_OSI is born, and immediately misused
+=====================================
+
+With _OSI, the *BIOS* provides the string describing an interface,
+and asks the OS: "YES/NO, are you compatible with this interface?"
+
+eg. _OSI("3.0 Thermal Model") would return TRUE if the OS knows how
+to deal with the thermal extensions made to the ACPI 3.0 specification.
+An old OS that doesn't know about those extensions would answer FALSE,
+and a new OS may be able to return TRUE.
+
+For an OS-specific interface, the ACPI spec said that the BIOS and the OS
+were to agree on a string of the form such as "Windows-interface_name".
+
+But two bad things happened. First, the Windows ecosystem used _OSI
+not as designed, but as a direct replacement for _OS -- identifying
+the OS version, rather than an OS supported interface. Indeed, right
+from the start, the ACPI 3.0 spec itself codified this misuse
+in example code using _OSI("Windows 2001").
+
+This misuse was adopted and continues today.
+
+Linux had no choice but to also return TRUE to _OSI("Windows 2001")
+and its successors. To do otherwise would virtually guarantee breaking
+a BIOS that has been tested only with that _OSI returning TRUE.
+
+This strategy is problematic, as Linux is never completely compatible with
+the latest version of Windows, and sometimes it takes more than a year
+to iron out incompatibilities.
+
+Not to be out-done, the Linux community made things worse by returning TRUE
+to _OSI("Linux"). Doing so is even worse than the Windows misuse
+of _OSI, as "Linux" does not even contain any version information.
+_OSI("Linux") led to some BIOS' malfunctioning due to BIOS writer's
+using it in untested BIOS flows. But some OEM's used _OSI("Linux")
+in tested flows to support real Linux features. In 2009, Linux
+removed _OSI("Linux"), and added a cmdline parameter to restore it
+for legacy systems still needed it. Further a BIOS_BUG warning prints
+for all BIOS's that invoke it.
+
+No BIOS should use _OSI("Linux").
+
+The result is a strategy for Linux to maximize compatibility with
+ACPI BIOS that are tested on Windows machines. There is a real risk
+of over-stating that compatibility; but the alternative has often been
+catastrophic failure resulting from the BIOS taking paths that
+were never validated under *any* OS.
+
+Do not use _REV
+===============
+
+Since _OSI("Linux") went away, some BIOS writers used _REV
+to support Linux and Windows differences in the same BIOS.
+
+_REV was defined in ACPI 1.0 to return the version of ACPI
+supported by the OS and the OS AML interpreter.
+
+Modern Windows returns _REV = 2. Linux used ACPI_CA_SUPPORT_LEVEL,
+which would increment, based on the version of the spec supported.
+
+Unfortunately, _REV was also misused. eg. some BIOS would check
+for _REV = 3, and do something for Linux, but when Linux returned
+_REV = 4, that support broke.
+
+In response to this problem, Linux returns _REV = 2 always,
+from mid-2015 onward. The ACPI specification will also be updated
+to reflect that _REV is deprecated, and always returns 2.
+
+Apple Mac and _OSI("Darwin")
+============================
+
+On Apple's Mac platforms, the ACPI BIOS invokes _OSI("Darwin")
+to determine if the machine is running Apple OSX.
+
+Like Linux's _OSI("*Windows*") strategy, Linux defaults to
+answering YES to _OSI("Darwin") to enable full access
+to the hardware and validated BIOS paths seen by OSX.
+Just like on Windows-tested platforms, this strategy has risks.
+
+Starting in Linux-3.18, the kernel answered YES to _OSI("Darwin")
+for the purpose of enabling Mac Thunderbolt support. Further,
+if the kernel noticed _OSI("Darwin") being invoked, it additionally
+disabled all _OSI("*Windows*") to keep poorly written Mac BIOS
+from going down untested combinations of paths.
+
+The Linux-3.18 change in default caused power regressions on Mac
+laptops, and the 3.18 implementation did not allow changing
+the default via cmdline "acpi_osi=!Darwin". Linux-4.7 fixed
+the ability to use acpi_osi=!Darwin as a workaround, and
+we hope to see Mac Thunderbolt power management support in Linux-4.11.

+=====================
+ACPI video extensions
+=====================
+
+This driver implement the ACPI Extensions For Display Adapters for
+integrated graphics devices on motherboard, as specified in ACPI 2.0
+Specification, Appendix B, allowing to perform some basic control like
+defining the video POST device, retrieving EDID information or to
+setup a video output, etc. Note that this is an ref. implementation
+only. It may or may not work for your integrated video device.
+
+The ACPI video driver does 3 things regarding backlight control.
+
+Export a sysfs interface for user space to control backlight level
+==================================================================
+
+If the ACPI table has a video device, and acpi_backlight=vendor kernel
+command line is not present, the driver will register a backlight device
+and set the required backlight operation structure for it for the sysfs
+interface control. For every registered class device, there will be a
+directory named acpi_videoX under /sys/class/backlight.
+
+The backlight sysfs interface has a standard definition here:
+Documentation/ABI/stable/sysfs-class-backlight.
+
+And what ACPI video driver does is:
+
+actual_brightness:
+ on read, control method _BQC will be evaluated to
+ get the brightness level the firmware thinks it is at;
+bl_power:
+ not implemented, will set the current brightness instead;
+brightness:
+ on write, control method _BCM will run to set the requested brightness level;
+max_brightness:
+ Derived from the _BCL package(see below);
+type:
+ firmware
+
+Note that ACPI video backlight driver will always use index for
+brightness, actual_brightness and max_brightness. So if we have
+the following _BCL package::
+
+ Method (_BCL, 0, NotSerialized)
+ {
+ Return (Package (0x0C)
+ {
+ 0x64,
+ 0x32,
+ 0x0A,
+ 0x14,
+ 0x1E,
+ 0x28,
+ 0x32,
+ 0x3C,
+ 0x46,
+ 0x50,
+ 0x5A,
+ 0x64
+ })
+ }
+
+The first two levels are for when laptop are on AC or on battery and are
+not used by Linux currently. The remaining 10 levels are supported levels
+that we can choose from. The applicable index values are from 0 (that
+corresponds to the 0x0A brightness value) to 9 (that corresponds to the
+0x64 brightness value) inclusive. Each of those index values is regarded
+as a "brightness level" indicator. Thus from the user space perspective
+the range of available brightness levels is from 0 to 9 (max_brightness)
+inclusive.
+
+Notify user space about hotkey event
+====================================
+
+There are generally two cases for hotkey event reporting:
+
+i) For some laptops, when user presses the hotkey, a scancode will be
+ generated and sent to user space through the input device created by
+ the keyboard driver as a key type input event, with proper remap, the
+ following key code will appear to user space::
+
+ EV_KEY, KEY_BRIGHTNESSUP
+ EV_KEY, KEY_BRIGHTNESSDOWN
+ etc.
+
+For this case, ACPI video driver does not need to do anything(actually,
+it doesn't even know this happened).
+
+ii) For some laptops, the press of the hotkey will not generate the
+ scancode, instead, firmware will notify the video device ACPI node
+ about the event. The event value is defined in the ACPI spec. ACPI
+ video driver will generate an key type input event according to the
+ notify value it received and send the event to user space through the
+ input device it created:
+
+ ===== ==================
+ event keycode
+ ===== ==================
+ 0x86 KEY_BRIGHTNESSUP
+ 0x87 KEY_BRIGHTNESSDOWN
+ etc.
+ ===== ==================
+
+so this would lead to the same effect as case i) now.
+
+Once user space tool receives this event, it can modify the backlight
+level through the sysfs interface.
+
+Change backlight level in the kernel
+====================================
+
+This works for machines covered by case ii) in Section 2. Once the driver
+received a notification, it will set the backlight level accordingly. This does
+not affect the sending of event to user space, they are always sent to user
+space regardless of whether or not the video module controls the backlight level
+directly. This behaviour can be controlled through the brightness_switch_enabled
+module parameter as documented in admin-guide/kernel-parameters.rst. It is
+recommended to disable this behaviour once a GUI environment starts up and
+wants to have full control of the backlight level.
