efi: Make 'efi_enabled' a function to query EFI facilities

2013-01-30T19:51:59Z

Originally 'efi_enabled' indicated whether a kernel was booted from EFI firmware. Over time its semantics have changed, and it now indicates whether or not we are booted on an EFI machine with bit-native firmware, e.g. 64-bit kernel with 64-bit firmware. The immediate motivation for this patch is the bug report at, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-cdimage/+bug/1040557 which details how running a platform driver on an EFI machine that is designed to run under BIOS can cause the machine to become bricked. Also, the following report, https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=47121 details how running said driver can also cause Machine Check Exceptions. Drivers need a new means of detecting whether they're running on an EFI machine, as sadly the expression, if (!efi_enabled) hasn't been a sufficient condition for quite some time. Users actually want to query 'efi_enabled' for different reasons - what they really want access to is the list of available EFI facilities. For instance, the x86 reboot code needs to know whether it can invoke the ResetSystem() function provided by the EFI runtime services, while the ACPI OSL code wants to know whether the EFI config tables were mapped successfully. There are also checks in some of the platform driver code to simply see if they're running on an EFI machine (which would make it a bad idea to do BIOS-y things). This patch is a prereq for the samsung-laptop fix patch.

Drivers: scsi: remove __dev* attributes.

2013-01-03T23:57:01Z

CONFIG_HOTPLUG is going away as an option. As a result, the __dev* markings need to be removed. This change removes the use of __devinit, __devexit_p, __devinitdata, __devinitconst, and __devexit from these drivers. Based on patches originally written by Bill Pemberton, but redone by me in order to handle some of the coding style issues better, by hand. Cc: Bill Pemberton Cc: Adam Radford Cc: "James E.J.

[SCSI] isci: copy fis 0x34 response into proper buffer

2012-11-13T13:45:14Z

SATA MICROCODE DOWNALOAD fails on isci driver. After receiving Register Device to Host (FIS 0x34) frame Initiator resets phy. In the frame handler routine response (FIS 0x34) was copied into wrong buffer and upper layer did not receive any answer which resulted in timeout and reset. This patch corrects this bug.

[SCSI] isci: Fix interrupt coalescing assumption of active TCs

2012-09-24T08:11:04Z

We always assign a dummy task context to a port in order to address a silicon issue. We have 4 ports per controller. So when idle, there are always exactly 4 TCs "active". The adaptive interrupt coalescing code uses number of active TCs to figure out the coalescing values. However, we never hit "0" TCs because of the 4 dummy TCs. Putting in fix so that we calculate this correctly. Reported-by: Dan Melnic Signed-off-by: Dave Jiang Signed-off-by: James Bottomley

[SCSI] isci: Allow SSP tasks into the task management path.

2012-09-24T08:11:04Z

This commit fixes a driver bug for SSP tasks that require task management in the target after they complete in the SCU hardware. The problem was manifested in the function "isci_task_abort_task", which tests to see if the sas_task.lldd_task is non-NULL before allowing task management; this bug would always NULL lldd_task in the SCU I/O completion path even if target management was required, which would prevent task / target manangement from happening. Note that in the case of SATA/STP targets, error recovery is provided by the libata error handler which is why SATA/STP device recovery worked correctly even though SSP handling did not.
