Those profiles are represented in sysfs as subdirectories + of /sys/firmware/acpi/hotplug/. + + The following setting is available to user space for each + hotplug profile: + + ======== ======================================================= + enabled: If set, the ACPI core will handle notifications of + hotplug events associated with the given class of + devices and will allow those devices to be ejected with + the help of the _EJ0 control method. Unsetting it + effectively disables hotplug for the correspoinding + class of devices. + ======== ======================================================= + + The value of the above attribute is an integer number: 1 (set) + or 0 (unset).

So while the SCI handles a few + well known (fixed feature) interrupts sources, such + as the power button, it can also handle a variable + number of a "General Purpose Events" (GPE). + + A GPE vectors to a specified handler in AML, which + can do a anything the BIOS writer wants from + OS context. GPE 0x12, for example, would vector + to a level or edge handler called _L12 or _E12. + The handler may do its business and return. + Or the handler may send send a Notify event + to a Linux device driver registered on an ACPI device, + such as a battery, or a processor. + + To figure out where all the SCI's are coming from, + /sys/firmware/acpi/interrupts contains a file listing + every possible source, and the count of how many + times it has triggered:: + + $ cd /sys/firmware/acpi/interrupts + $ grep . * + error: 0 + ff_gbl_lock: 0 enable + ff_pmtimer: 0 invalid + ff_pwr_btn: 0 enable + ff_rt_clk: 2 disable + ff_slp_btn: 0 invalid + gpe00: 0 invalid + gpe01: 0 enable + gpe02: 108 enable + gpe03: 0 invalid + gpe04: 0 invalid + gpe05: 0 invalid + gpe06: 0 enable + gpe07: 0 enable + gpe08: 0 invalid + gpe09: 0 invalid + gpe0A: 0 invalid + gpe0B: 0 invalid + gpe0C: 0 invalid + gpe0D: 0 invalid + gpe0E: 0 invalid + gpe0F: 0 invalid + gpe10: 0 invalid + gpe11: 0 invalid + gpe12: 0 invalid + gpe13: 0 invalid + gpe14: 0 invalid + gpe15: 0 invalid + gpe16: 0 invalid + gpe17: 1084 enable + gpe18: 0 enable + gpe19: 0 invalid + gpe1A: 0 invalid + gpe1B: 0 invalid + gpe1C: 0 invalid + gpe1D: 0 invalid + gpe1E: 0 invalid + gpe1F: 0 invalid + gpe_all: 1192 + sci: 1194 + sci_not: 0 + + =========== ================================================== + sci The number of times the ACPI SCI + has been called and claimed an interrupt. + + sci_not The number of times the ACPI SCI + has been called and NOT claimed an interrupt. + + gpe_all count of SCI caused by GPEs. + + gpeXX count for individual GPE source + + ff_gbl_lock Global Lock + + ff_pmtimer PM Timer + + ff_pwr_btn Power Button + + ff_rt_clk Real Time Clock + + ff_slp_btn Sleep Button + + error an interrupt that can't be accounted for above. + + invalid it's either a GPE or a Fixed Event that + doesn't have an event handler. + + disable the GPE/Fixed Event is valid but disabled. + + enable the GPE/Fixed Event is valid and enabled. + =========== ================================================== + + Root has permission to clear any of these counters.
