+ 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 fatal
+ 0x00000100 PCI Express Uncorrectable non-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 $((-1 << 12)) > param2 # Mask 0xfffffffffffff000 - 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

+ ACPI Debug Output
+
+
+The ACPI CA, the Linux ACPI core, and some ACPI drivers can generate debug
+output. This document describes how to use this facility.
+
+Compile-time configuration
+--------------------------
+
+ACPI debug output is globally enabled by CONFIG_ACPI_DEBUG. If this config
+option is turned off, 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 driver or 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 and
+include/acpi/acpi_drivers.h. Reading /sys/module/acpi/parameters/debug_layer
+shows the supported mask values, currently these:
+
+ 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
+ ACPI_BUS_COMPONENT 0x00010000
+ ACPI_AC_COMPONENT 0x00020000
+ ACPI_BATTERY_COMPONENT 0x00040000
+ ACPI_BUTTON_COMPONENT 0x00080000
+ ACPI_SBS_COMPONENT 0x00100000
+ ACPI_FAN_COMPONENT 0x00200000
+ ACPI_PCI_COMPONENT 0x00400000
+ ACPI_POWER_COMPONENT 0x00800000
+ ACPI_CONTAINER_COMPONENT 0x01000000
+ ACPI_SYSTEM_COMPONENT 0x02000000
+ ACPI_THERMAL_COMPONENT 0x04000000
+ ACPI_MEMORY_DEVICE_COMPONENT 0x08000000
+ ACPI_VIDEO_COMPONENT 0x10000000
+ ACPI_PROCESSOR_COMPONENT 0x20000000
+
+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/bus.c contains this:
+
+ #define _COMPONENT ACPI_BUS_COMPONENT
+ ...
+ ACPI_DEBUG_PRINT((ACPI_DB_INFO, "Device insertion detected\n"));
+
+To turn on this message, set the ACPI_BUS_COMPONENT bit in acpi.debug_layer
+and the ACPI_LV_INFO bit in acpi.debug_level. (The ACPI_DEBUG_PRINT
+statement uses ACPI_DB_INFO, which is macro based on the ACPI_LV_INFO
+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 PCI and PCI interrupt routing debug messages:
+
+ acpi.debug_layer=0x400000 acpi.debug_level=0x4
+
+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

+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:
+
+ o Devices that have no bus connector resource are represented as
+ platform devices.
+
+ o Devices behind real busses where there is a connector resource
+ are represented as struct spi_device or struct i2c_device
+ (standard UARTs are not busses so there is no struct uart_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 and
+I2C), 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:
+
+ #ifdef CONFIG_ACPI
+ static struct acpi_device_id mydrv_acpi_match[] = {
+ /* ACPI IDs here */
+ { }
+ };
+ MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE(acpi, mydrv_acpi_match);
+ #endif
+
+ static struct platform_driver my_driver = {
+ ...
+ .driver = {
+ .acpi_match_table = ACPI_PTR(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_slave_channel() 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_slave_channel() 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_slave_channel() 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.
+
+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 than with
+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):
+
+ #ifdef CONFIG_ACPI
+ static struct acpi_device_id at25_acpi_match[] = {
+ { "AT25", 0 },
+ { },
+ };
+ MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE(acpi, at25_acpi_match);
+ #endif
+
+ static struct spi_driver at25_driver = {
+ .driver = {
+ ...
+ .acpi_match_table = ACPI_PTR(at25_acpi_match),
+ },
+ };
+
+Note that this driver actually needs more information like page size of the
+eeprom etc. but at the time writing this there is no standard way of
+passing those. One idea is to return this in _DSM method like:
+
+ Device (EEP0)
+ {
+ ...
+ Method (_DSM, 4, NotSerialized)
+ {
+ Store (Package (6)
+ {
+ "byte-len", 1024,
+ "addr-mode", 2,
+ "page-size, 32
+ }, Local0)
+
+ // Check UUIDs etc.
+
+ Return (Local0)
+ }
+
+Then the at25 SPI driver can get this configuration by calling _DSM on its
+ACPI handle like:
+
+ struct acpi_buffer output = { ACPI_ALLOCATE_BUFFER, NULL };
+ struct acpi_object_list input;
+ acpi_status status;
+
+ /* Fill in the input buffer */
+
+ status = acpi_evaluate_object(ACPI_HANDLE(&spi->dev), "_DSM",
+ &input, &output);
+ if (ACPI_FAILURE(status))
+ /* Handle the error */
+
+ /* Extract the data here */
+
+ kfree(output.pointer);
+
+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:
+
+ #ifdef CONFIG_ACPI
+ static struct acpi_device_id mpu3050_acpi_match[] = {
+ { "MPU3050", 0 },
+ { },
+ };
+ MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE(acpi, mpu3050_acpi_match);
+ #endif
+
+ static struct i2c_driver mpu3050_i2c_driver = {
+ .driver = {
+ .name = "mpu3050",
+ .owner = THIS_MODULE,
+ .pm = &mpu3050_pm,
+ .of_match_table = mpu3050_of_match,
+ .acpi_match_table = ACPI_PTR(mpu3050_acpi_match),
+ },
+ .probe = mpu3050_probe,
+ .remove = mpu3050_remove,
+ .id_table = mpu3050_ids,
+ };
+
+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, PullDefault, 0x0000, 0x0000,
+ IoRestrictionOutputOnly, "\\_SB.PCI0.GPI0",
+ 0x00, ResourceConsumer,,)
+ {
+ // Pin List
+ 0x0055
+ }
+
+ // Interrupt for the device
+ GpioInt (Edge, ActiveHigh, ExclusiveAndWake, PullNone,
+ 0x0000, "\\_SB.PCI0.GPI0", 0x00, ResourceConsumer,,)
+ {
+ // Pin list
+ 0x0058
+ }
+
+ ...
+
+ }
+
+ 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 is documented in
+Documentation/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/acpi/gpio-properties.txt for more information about the
+_DSD binding related to GPIOs.
+
+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:
+
+ o The children share the parent ACPI handle.
+ o 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,
+the id should be set like:
+
+ static struct mfd_cell my_subdevice_cell = {
+ .name = "my_subdevice",
+ /* set the resources relative to the parent */
+ .acpi_pnpid = "XYZ0001",
+ };
+
+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.

+_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, IoRestrictionInputOnly,
+ "\\_SB.GPO0", 0, ResourceConsumer) {15}
+ GpioIo (Exclusive, PullUp, 0, 0, IoRestrictionInputOnly,
+ "\\_SB.GPO0", 0, ResourceConsumer) {27, 31}
+ })
+
+ Name (_DSD, Package ()
+ {
+ ToUUID("daffd814-6eba-4d8c-8a91-bc9bbf4aa301"),
+ Package ()
+ {
+ Package () {"reset-gpio", Package() {^BTH, 1, 1, 0 }},
+ Package () {"shutdown-gpio", 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.
+
+In our Bluetooth example the "reset-gpio" refers to the second GpioIo()
+resource, second pin in that resource with the GPIO number of 31.
+
+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 contain 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-gpio", &reset_gpio, 1 },
+ { "shutdown-gpio", &shutdown_gpio, 1 },
+ { },
+};
+
+Next, the mapping table needs to be passed as the second argument to
+acpi_dev_add_driver_gpios() 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.

+Overriding ACPI tables via initrd
+=================================
+
+1) Introduction (What is this about)
+2) What is this for
+3) How does it work
+4) References (Where to retrieve userspace tools)
+
+1) What is this about
+---------------------
+
+If the ACPI_INITRD_TABLE_OVERRIDE compile option is true, it is possible to
+override nearly any ACPI table provided by the BIOS with an instrumented,
+modified one.
+
+For a full list of ACPI tables that can be overridden, take a look at
+the char *table_sigs[MAX_ACPI_SIGNATURE]; definition in drivers/acpi/osl.c
+All ACPI tables iasl (Intel's ACPI compiler and disassembler) knows should
+be overridable, except:
+ - ACPI_SIG_RSDP (has a signature of 6 bytes)
+ - ACPI_SIG_FACS (does not have an ordinary ACPI table header)
+Both could get implemented as well.
+
+
+2) What is this for
+-------------------
+
+Please keep in mind that this is a debug option.
+ACPI tables should not get overridden for productive use.
+If BIOS ACPI tables are overridden the kernel will get tainted with the
+TAINT_OVERRIDDEN_ACPI_TABLE flag.
+Complain to your platform/BIOS vendor if you find a bug which is so sever
+that a workaround is not accepted in the Linux kernel.
+
+Still, it can and should be enabled in any kernel, because:
+ - There is no functional change with not instrumented initrds
+ - It provides a powerful feature to easily debug and test ACPI BIOS table
+ compatibility with the Linux kernel.
+
+
+3) How does it work
+-------------------
+
+# Extract the machine's ACPI tables:
+cd /tmp
+acpidump >acpidump
+acpixtract -a acpidump
+# Disassemble, modify and recompile them:
+iasl -d *.dat
+# For example add this statement into a _PRT (PCI Routing Table) function
+# of the DSDT:
+Store("HELLO WORLD", debug)
+iasl -sa dsdt.dsl
+# Add the raw ACPI tables to an uncompressed cpio archive.
+# They must be put into a /kernel/firmware/acpi directory inside the
+# cpio archive.
+# The uncompressed cpio archive must be the first.
+# Other, typically compressed cpio archives, must be
+# concatenated on top of the uncompressed one.
+mkdir -p kernel/firmware/acpi
+cp dsdt.aml kernel/firmware/acpi
+# A maximum of: #define ACPI_OVERRIDE_TABLES 10
+# tables are currently allowed (see osl.c):
+iasl -sa facp.dsl
+iasl -sa ssdt1.dsl
+cp facp.aml kernel/firmware/acpi
+cp ssdt1.aml kernel/firmware/acpi
+# Create the uncompressed cpio archive and concatenate the original initrd
+# on top:
+find kernel | cpio -H newc --create > /boot/instrumented_initrd
+cat /boot/initrd >>/boot/instrumented_initrd
+# reboot with increased acpi debug level, e.g. boot params:
+acpi.debug_level=0x2 acpi.debug_layer=0xFFFFFFFF
+# and check your syslog:
+[ 1.268089] ACPI: PCI Interrupt Routing Table [\_SB_.PCI0._PRT]
+[ 1.272091] [ACPI Debug] String [0x0B] "HELLO WORLD"
+
+iasl is able to disassemble and recompile quite a lot different,
+also static ACPI tables.
+
+
+4) Where to retrieve userspace tools
+------------------------------------
+
+iasl and acpixtract are part of Intel's ACPICA project:
+http://acpica.org/
+and should be packaged by distributions (for example in the acpica package
+on SUSE).
+
+acpidump can be found in Len Browns pmtools:
+ftp://kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/lenb/acpi/utils/pmtools/acpidump
+This tool is also part of the acpica package on SUSE.
+Alternatively, used ACPI tables can be retrieved via sysfs in latest kernels:

+Linux ACPI Custom Control Method How To
+=======================================
+
+Written by 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.
+Note: The same ACPI control method can be overridden for many times,
+ and it's always the latest one that used by Linux/kernel.
+Note: 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)
+ {
+ External (ACON)
+
+ 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.
+ And remember to use "External" to declare external objects.
+ e) assemble the file to generate the AML code of the method.
+ e.g. "iasl psr.asl" (psr.aml is generated as a result)
+ 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 overrided 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).

+ACPI Device Tree - Representation of ACPI Namespace
+
+Copyright (C) 2013, Intel Corporation
+Author: Lv Zheng <lv.zheng@intel.com>
+
+
+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.

+Wysocki <rafael.j.wysocki@intel.com>.
+
+
+1. 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.

+
+ 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.
+
+
+2. 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.

+3. 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 |
+ +---+-----------------+-------+----------+

+ +---+-----------------+-------+----------+
+
+ 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 forth 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.
+
+
+4. 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.
+
+
+5. Example Linux ACPI Device Tree
+
+ The sysfs hierarchy of struct acpi_device objects corresponding to the
+ example ACPI namespace illustrated in Figure 2 with the addition of
+ fixed PWR_BUTTON/SLP_BUTTON devices is shown below.

+ACPI Scan Handlers
+
+Copyright (C) 2012, Intel Corporation
+Author: Rafael J. Wysocki <rafael.j.wysocki@intel.com>
+
+During system initialization and ACPI-based device hot-add, the ACPI namespace
+is scanned in search of device objects that generally represent various pieces
+of hardware. This causes a struct acpi_device object to be created and
+registered with the driver core for every device object in the ACPI namespace
+and the hierarchy of those struct acpi_device objects reflects the namespace
+layout (i.e. parent device objects in the namespace are represented by parent
+struct acpi_device objects and analogously for their children). Those struct
+acpi_device objects are referred to as "device nodes" in what follows, but they
+should not be confused with struct device_node objects used by the Device Trees
+parsing code (although their role is analogous to the role of those objects).
+
+During ACPI-based device hot-remove device nodes representing pieces of hardware
+being removed are unregistered and deleted.
+
+The core ACPI namespace scanning code in drivers/acpi/scan.c carries out basic
+initialization of device nodes, such as retrieving common configuration
+information from the device objects represented by them and populating them with
+appropriate data, but some of them require additional handling after they have
+been registered. For example, if the given device node represents a PCI host
+bridge, its registration should cause the PCI bus under that bridge to be
+enumerated and PCI devices on that bus to be registered with the driver core.
+Similarly, if the device node represents a PCI interrupt link, it is necessary
+to configure that link so that the kernel can use it.
+
+Those additional configuration tasks usually depend on the type of the hardware
+component represented by the given device node which can be determined on the
+basis of the device node's hardware ID (HID). They are performed by objects
+called ACPI scan handlers represented by the following structure:
+
+struct acpi_scan_handler {
+ const struct acpi_device_id *ids;
+ struct list_head list_node;
+ int (*attach)(struct acpi_device *dev, const struct acpi_device_id *id);
+ void (*detach)(struct acpi_device *dev);
+};
+
+where ids is the list of IDs of device nodes the given handler is supposed to
+take care of, list_node is the hook to the global list of ACPI scan handlers
+maintained by the ACPI core and the .attach() and .detach() callbacks are
+executed, respectively, after registration of new device nodes and before
+unregistration of device nodes the handler attached to previously.
+
+The namespace scanning function, acpi_bus_scan(), first registers all of the
+device nodes in the given namespace scope with the driver core. Then, it tries
+to match a scan handler against each of them using the ids arrays of the
+available scan handlers. If a matching scan handler is found, its .attach()
+callback is executed for the given device node. If that callback returns 1,
+that means that the handler has claimed the device node and is now responsible
+for carrying out any additional configuration tasks related to it. It also will
+be responsible for preparing the device node for unregistration in that case.
+The device node's handler field is then populated with the address of the scan
+handler that has claimed it.
+
+If the .attach() callback returns 0, it means that the device node is not
+interesting to the given scan handler and may be matched against the next scan
+handler in the list. If it returns a (negative) error code, that means that
+the namespace scan should be terminated due to a serious error. The error code
+returned should then reflect the type of the error.
+
+The namespace trimming function, acpi_bus_trim(), first executes .detach()
+callbacks from the scan handlers of all device nodes in the given namespace
+scope (if they have scan handlers). Next, it unregisters all of the device
+nodes in that scope.
+
+ACPI scan handlers can be added to the list maintained by the ACPI core with the
+help of the acpi_scan_add_handler() function taking a pointer to the new scan
+handler as an argument. The order in which scan handlers are added to the list
+is the order in which they are matched against device nodes during namespace
+scans.
+
+All scan handles must be added to the list before acpi_bus_scan() is run for the
+first time and they cannot be removed from it.

+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:
+
+1 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.
+
+2 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.
+
+3 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 kernel-parameters.txt. It is recommended to
+disable this behaviour once a GUI environment starts up and wants to have full
+control of the backlight level.
