a192a9580b ACPI: Move definition of PREFIX from acpi_bus.h to internal..h
Linux/ACPI core files using internal.h all PREFIX "ACPI: ",
however, not all ACPI drivers use/want it -- and they
should not have to #undef PREFIX to define their own.

Add GPL commment to internal.h while we are there.

This does not change any actual console output,
asside from a whitespace fix.

34d531e640 ACPI: sanity check _PSS frequency to prevent cpufreq crash
When BIOS SETUP is changed to disable EIST, some BIOS
hand the OS an un-initialized _PSS:

        Name (_PSS, Package (0x06)
        {
            Package (0x06)
            {
                0x80000000,	// frequency [MHz]
                0x80000000,	// power [mW]
                0x80000000,	// latency [us]
                0x80000000,	// BM latency [us]
                0x80000000,	// control
                0x80000000	// status
            },
	    ...

These are outrageous values for frequency,
power and latency, raising the question where to draw
the line between legal and illegal.  We tend to survive
garbage in the power and latency fields, but we can BUG_ON
when garbage is in the frequency field.

Cpufreq multiplies the frequency by 1000 and stores it in a u32 KHz.
So disregard a _PSS with a frequency so large
that it can't be represented by cpufreq.

   data.  The code will be cleaner and easier to be maintained with this

e4233dec74 [PATCH] ACPI: fix cpufreq regression
Recently cpufreq support on my laptop (Lenovo T60) broke completely: when
it's plugged into AC it would never go higher than 1 GHz - neither 1.3 GHz
nor 1.83 GHz is possible - no matter which governor (userspace, speed or
ondemand) is used.

After some cpufreq debugging i tracked the regression back to the following
(totally correct) bug-fix commit:

   commit 0916bd3ebb
   Author: Dave Jones <davej@redhat.com>
   Date:   Wed Nov 22 20:42:01 2006 -0500

    [PATCH] Correct bound checking from the value returned from _PPC method.

This bugfix, which makes other laptops work, made a previously hidden
(BIOS) bug visible on my laptop.

The bug is the following: if the _PPC (Performance Present Capabilities)
optional ACPI object is queried /after/ bootup then the BIOS reports an
incorrect value of '2'.

My laptop (Lenovo T60) has the following performance states supported:

   0: 1833000
   1: 1333000
   2: 1000000

Per ACPI specification, a _PPC value of '0' means that all 3 performance
states are usable.  A _PPC value of '1' means states 1 ..  2 are usable, a
value of '2' means only state '2' (slowest) is usable.

now, the _PPC object is optional, and it also comes with notification.
Furthermore, when a CPU object is initialized, the _PPC object is
initialized as well.  So the following evaluation of the _PPC object is
superfluous:

 [<c028ba5f>] acpi_processor_get_platform_limit+0xa1/0xaf
 [<c028c040>] acpi_processor_register_performance+0x3b9/0x3ef
 [<c0111a85>] acpi_cpufreq_cpu_init+0xb7/0x596
 [<c03dab74>] cpufreq_add_dev+0x160/0x4a8
 [<c02bed90>] sysdev_driver_register+0x5a/0xa0
 [<c03d9c4c>] cpufreq_register_driver+0xb4/0x176
 [<c068ac08>] acpi_cpufreq_init+0xe5/0xeb
 [<c010056e>] init+0x14f/0x3dd

And this is the point where my laptop's BIOS returns the incorrect value of
'2'.  Note that it has not sent any notification event, so the value is
probably not really intentional (possibly spurious), and Windows likely
doesnt query it after bootup either.  Maybe the value is kept at '2'
normally, and is only set to the real value when a true asynchronous event
(such as AC plug event, battery switch, etc.) occurs.

So i /think/ this is a grey area of the ACPI spec: per the letter of the
spec the _PPC value only changes when notified, so there's no reason to
query it after the system has booted up.  So in my opinion the best (and
most compatible) strategy would be to do the change below, and to not
evaluate the _PPC object in the acpi_processor_get_performance_info() call,
but only evaluate it if _PPC is present during CPU object init, or if it's
notified during an asynchronous event.  This change is more permissive than
the previous logic, so it definitely shouldnt break any existing system.

This also happens to fix my laptop, which is merrily chugging along at
1.83 GHz now. Yay!

This is wrong since 0 indicate that the bios think the processor can go

allow its highest frequency to be available.

193de0c79d ACPI: use for_each_possible_cpu() instead of for_each_cpu()
for_each_cpu() actually iterates across all possible CPUs.  We've had mistakes
in the past where people were using for_each_cpu() where they should have been
iterating across only online or present CPUs.  This is inefficient and
possibly buggy.

We're renaming for_each_cpu() to for_each_possible_cpu() to avoid this in the
future.

d479e90845 [ACPI] move some run-time structure inits to compile time
acpi_processor_limit_fops.write was written at run time,
but can be initiailized at compile-time instead.

Similar for acpi_video_bus_POST_fops.write and friends,
but keep doing those at runtime to avoid prototype-hell.

05131ecc99 [ACPI] Avoid BIOS inflicted crashes by evaluating _PDC only once
Linux invokes the AML _PDC method (Processor Driver Capabilities)
to tell the BIOS what features it can handle.  While the ACPI
spec says nothing about the OS invoking _PDC multiple times,
doing so with changing bits seems to hopelessly confuse the BIOS
on multiple platforms up to and including crashing the system.

Factor out the _PDC invocation so Linux invokes it only once.
