These changes are the raw update to linux-4.4.6-rt14. Kernel sources
are taken from kernel.org, and rt patch from the rt wiki download page. During the rebasing, the following patch collided: Force tick interrupt and get rid of softirq magic(I70131fb85). Collisions have been removed because its logic was found on the source already. Change-Id: I7f57a4081d9deaa0d9ccfc41a6c8daccdee3b769 Signed-off-by: José Pekkarinen <jose.pekkarinen@nokia.com>

+Device Tree namespace link device ID
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+The Device Tree protocol uses device indentification 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 indentification 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 identificaion
+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.
+
+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.

+Abstract:
-trace_state
- The status of the tracing feature.
+This document describes the functions and the interfaces of the method
+tracing facility.
+
+1. Functionalities and usage examples:
+
+ ACPICA provides method tracing capability. And two functions are
+ currently implemented using this capability.
+
+ A. 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/acpi/debug.txt 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.
+
+ B. 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.

+ [ 0.188524] exdebug-0398 ex_trace_point : Opcode End [0xf5905cc0:Return] execution.
+ [ 0.188712] exdebug-0398 ex_trace_point : Opcode End [0xf5905c88:If] execution.

- "enabled" means this feature is enabled
- and the AML method is traced every time it's executed.
+ Developers can utilize these special log entries to track the AML
+ interpretion, 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.
- "1" means this feature is enabled and the AML method
- will only be traced during the next execution.
+ 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
- "disabled" means this feature is disabled.
- Users can enable/disable this debug tracing feature by
- "echo string > /sys/module/acpi/parameters/trace_state".
- "string" should be one of "enable", "disable" and "1".
+ 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
+
+2. 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 followings:
+ "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.
+ ACPICA debugging messages matching
+ "trace_debug_layer/trace_debug_level" during method execution
+ of "trace_method_name" will be logged.
+ "method-once"
+ Enable the method tracing feature.
+ ACPICA debugging messages matching
+ "trace_debug_layer/trace_debug_level" during method execution
+ of "trace_method_name" will be logged only once.
+ "opcode"
+ Enable the method tracing feature.
+ ACPICA debugging messages matching
+ "trace_debug_layer/trace_debug_level" during method/opcode
+ execution of "trace_method_name" will be logged.
+ "opcode-once"
+ Enable the method tracing feature.
+ ACPICA debugging messages matching
+ "trace_debug_layer/trace_debug_level" during method/opcode
+ execution of "trace_method_name" will be logged only once.
+ Note that, the difference between the "enable" and other feature
+ enabling options are:
+ 1. When "enable" is specified, since
+ "trace_debug_layer/trace_debug_level" shall apply to all control
+ method evaluations, after configuring "trace_state" to "enable",
+ "trace_method_name" will be reset to NULL.
+ 2. When "method/opcode" is specified, if
+ "trace_method_name" is NULL when "trace_state" is configured to
+ these options, the "trace_debug_layer/trace_debug_level" will
+ apply to all control method evaluations.
