The wakeup.prepared flag is used for marking devices that have the wake-up power already enabled, so that the wake-up power is not enabled twice in a row for the same device. This assumes, however, that device wake-up power will only be enabled once, while the device is being prepared for a system-wide sleep transition, and the second attempt is made by acpi_enable_wakeup_device_prep(). With the upcoming PCI wake-up rework this assumption will not hold any more for PCI bridges and the root bridge whose wake-up power may be enabled as a result of wake-up enable propagation from other devices (eg. add-on devices that are not associated with any GPEs). Thus, there may be many attempts to enable wake-up power on a PCI bridge or the root bridge during a system power state transition and it's better to replace wakeup.prepared with a reference counter.

In general a BIOS may goof or we may hotplug in a hotplug controller. In either case the kernel needs to reserve resources for plugging in more devices in the future instead of creating a minimal resource assignment. We already do this for cardbus bridges I am just adding a variant for pcie bridges. v2: Make testing for pcie hotplug bridges based on a flag. So far we only set the flag for pcie but a header_quirk could easily be added for the non-standard pci hotplug bridges. Signed-off-by: Eric W.

There is a very old quirk for the intel E7502 E7320 and E7525 memory controller hubs that disables usage of msi interrupts on pcie hotplug bridges of those devices, and disables changing the affinity of irqs. Today all we have to do to disable msi on a specific device is to set dev->no_msi, which is much more straightforward than the previous logic. The re-running of this fixup after pci hotplug happens below these devices is totally bogus. All of the state we change is pure software state and we don't change the hardware at all. Which means hotplug on the lower devices doesn't have a chance to change this state. So we can safely remove the special case from the pciehp driver and the pcie portdriver. I suspect the special case was someone's expermental debug code that slipped in. Certainly it isn't mentioned in commit 6fb8880a61510295aece04a542767161f624dffe aka BKrev: 41966101LJ_ogfOU0m2aE6teZfQnuQ where the code first appears.

Multiple bits might be set in the Uncorrectable Error Status register. But aer_print_error_source() only report a error of the lowest bit set in the error status register. So print strings for all bits unmasked and set. And check First Error Pointer to mark the error occured first. This FEP is not valid when the corresponing bit of the Uncorrectable Error Status register is not set, or unimplemented or undefined.

ERR_{,UN}CORRECTABLE_ERROR_MASK are set of error bits which linux know, set of PCI_ERR_COR_* and PCI_ERR_UNC_* defined in linux/pci_regs.h. This masks make aerdrv not to report errors of unknown bit, while aerdrv have ability to report such undefined errors as "Unknown Error Bit %2d". OTOH aerdrv_errprint does not have any check of setting in mask register. So it could report masked wrong error by finding bit in status without knowing that the bit is masked in the mask register. This patch changes aerdrv to use mask state in mask register propely instead of defined/hardcoded ERR_{,UN}CORRECTABLE_ERROR_MASK. This change prevents aerdrv from reporting masked error, and also enable reporting unknown errors.

The flag AER_MULTI_ERROR_VALID_FLAG in info->flag does mean that the root port receives multiple error messages. Error messages can be posted from different devices, so it does not mean that each reported device has multiple errors. If there are multiple error devices and the root port has valid error source ID, it would be nice to report which device is the error source reported first.

In case of multiple errors, struct aer_err_info would be reused among all reported devices. So the info->status should be initialized before recycled.

Definitions of MASK macros in aerdrv_errprint.c are tricky and unsafe. For example, AER_AGENT_TRANSMITTER_MASK(_sev, _stat) does work like: static inline func(int _sev, int _stat) { if (_sev == AER_CORRECTABLE) return (_stat & (PCI_ERR_COR_REP_ROLL|PCI_ERR_COR_REP_TIMER)); else return (_stat & PCI_ERR_COR_REP_ROLL); } In case of else path here, for uncorrectable errors, testing bits in _stat by PCI_ERR_COR_* does not make sense because _stat should have only PCI_ERR_UNC_* bits originated in uncorrectable error status register. But at this time this is safe because uncorrectable error using bit position same to PCI_ERR_COR_REP_ROLL(= bit position 8) is not defined. Likewise, AER_AGENT_COMPLETER_MASK is always PCI_ERR_UNC_COMP_ABORT but it works because bit 15 of correctable error status is not defined. It means that these MASK macros will turn to be wrong once if new error is defined. (In fact, bit 15 of correctable is now defined in PCIe 2.1) This patch changes these MASK macros to be more strict, not to return PCI_ERR_COR_* bits for uncorrectable error status and vise versa.

The L0s state can be managed separately for each direction (upstream direction and downstream direction) of the link. But in the current implementation, those are mixed up. With this patch, L0s for each direction are managed separately. To maintain three states (upstream direction L0s, downstream L0s and L1), 'aspm_support', 'aspm_enabled', 'aspm_capable', 'aspm_disable' and 'aspm_default' fields in struct pcie_link_state are changed to 3-bit from 2-bit. The 'latency' field is separated to two 'latency_up' and 'latency_dw' fields to maintain exit latencies for each direction of the link. For L0, 'latency_up.l0' and 'latency_dw.l0' are used to configure upstream direction L0s and downstream direction L0s respectively. For L1, larger value of 'latency_up.l1' and 'latency_dw.l1' is considered as L1 exit latency.

In the current implementation, ASPM L0s/L1 is disabled for all links in the hierarchy if one of the link doesn't meet latency requirement. But we can partially enable ASPM L0s/L1 on sub-tree in the hierarchy. This patch allows partial L0s/L1 enablement in the hierarchy. And it also reduce the calculation cost of ASPM configuration very much. In the previous implementation, all links were enabled with the same state. With this patch, enabled state for each link is determined simply as follows (the 'requested' is from policy_to_aspm_state()). enabled = requested & (link->aspm_capable & link->aspm_disable) Acked-by: Shaohua Li <shaohua.li@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Kenji Kaneshige <kaneshige.kenji@jp.fujitsu.com> Signed-off-by: Jesse Barnes <jbarnes@virtuousgeek.org>

Introduce 'aspm_capable' field to maintain the capable ASPM setting of the link. By the 'aspm_capable', we don't need to recheck latency every time ASPM policy is changed. Each bit in 'aspm_capable' is associated to ASPM state (L0S/L1). The bit is set if the associated ASPM state is supported by the link and it satisfies the latency requirement (i.e. exit latency < endpoint acceptable latency). The 'aspm_capable' is updated when - an endpoint device is added (boot time or hot-plug time) - an endpoint device is removed (hot-unplug time) - PCI power state is changed.

We've found a case where the device needs a "fundamental reset" to recover properly. The current PCI error recovery and EEH frameworks do not support this distinction. The attached patch (courtesy of Richard Lary) adds a bit field to pci_dev that indicates whether the device requires a fundamental reset during recovery.

Background: Graphic devices are accessed through ranges in I/O or memory space. While most modern devices allow relocation of such ranges, some "Legacy" VGA devices implemented on PCI will typically have the same "hard-decoded" addresses as they did on ISA. For more details see "PCI Bus Binding to IEEE Std 1275-1994 Standard for Boot (Initialization Configuration) Firmware Revision 2.1" Section 7, Legacy Devices. The Resource Access Control (RAC) module inside the X server currently does the task of arbitration when more than one legacy device co-exists on the same machine. But the problem happens when these devices are trying to be accessed by different userspace clients (e.g. two server in parallel). Their address assignments conflict. Therefore an arbitration scheme _outside_ of the X server is needed to control the sharing of these resources. This document introduces the operation of the VGA arbiter implemented for Linux kernel.
