The use of "bool" is not safe for ACPICA code where it is originally using
a "BOOLEAN" defined as "unsigned char".
This patch removes the only "bool" usage from kernel source tree to reduce
the source code differences between Linux and ACPICA upstream.

This patch reflects the improvment of a cleanup step which is performed in
the release process.
There are still spaces in the "linuxized" ACPICA files after special macro
invocations. This is because indent treats comments and pre-processor
directives as spaces, thus we need to skip them.
Before applying this patch, cleanup code will search from keyword back to
end of line and wipe spaces between them.
After applying this patch, cleanup code will search to the end of the macro
invocations, skip "empty lines", "comments" and "pre-processor directives",
then wipe the spaces between the new line and the first non-spaces
characters.
Following improvements are thus achieved in the release automation by this

This change adds an option to favor 32-bit FADT addresses when there
is a conflict between the 32-bit and 64-bit versions of the same
address. The default behavior is to use the 64-bit version in accordance
with the ACPI specification. This can now be overridden via the
AcpiGbl_Use32BitFadtAddresses flag. Lv Zheng.
Also, the "Convert FADT" and "Verify FADT" functions have been merged to
simplify the code, make it easier to understand, and make it easier to
maintain. Bob Moore.

This change adds a runtime option that will force ACPICA to use the
RSDT instead of the XSDT. Although the ACPI spec requires that an XSDT
be used instead of the RSDT, the XSDT has been found to be corrupt or
ill-formed on some machines.
This option is already in the Linux kernel. When it is back ported to
ACPICA, code is re-written to follow ACPICA coding style. This patch
is the generation of the integration.

During the automatic translation of the upstream ACPICA source code
into Linux kernel source code some extra white spaces are added by
the "indent" program at the beginning of each line which is an
invocation of a macro and there is no ";" at the end of the line.
For this reason, a new mode has been added to the translation scripts
to remove the extra spaces inserted before invoking such macros and add
an empty line between the invocations of such macros (like the other
function declarations). This new mode is executed after executing
"indent" during the Linux release process. Consequently, some
existing ACPICA source code in the Linux kernel tree needs to be
adjusted to allow the new scripts to work correctly.
The affected macros and files are:
1. ACPI_HW_DEPENDENT_RETURN (acpixf.h/acdebug.h/acevents.h):
This macro is used as a wrapper for hardware dependent APIs to offer
a stub when the reduced hardware is configured during compilation.
2. ACPI_EXPORT_SYMBOL (utglobal.c):
This macro is used by Linux to export symbols to be found by Linux
modules. All such invocations are well formatted except those
exported as global variables.
This can help to reduce the source code differences between Linux
and upstream ACPICA, and also help to automate the release process.
No functional or binary generation changes should result from it.

directly to their respective acpi_os* OSL interfaces. Two options:

2) For ACPI execution simulation environment (AcpiExec) which is not

This patch decreases 210 lines of 20121018 divergence.diff.
The ACPICA source codes uses a totally different indentation style from the
Linux to be compatible with other users (operating systems or BIOS).
Indentation differences are critical to the release automation. There are
two causes related to the "indentation" that are affecting the release
automation:
1. The ACPICA -> Linux release process is:
ACPICA source -- acpisrc - hierarchy - indent ->
linuxized ACPICA source -- diff ->
linuxized ACPICA patch (x) -- human intervention ->
linuxized ACPICA patch (o)
Where
'x' means "cannot be directly applied to the Linux"
'o' means "can be directly applied to the Linux"
Different "indent" version or "indent" options used in the "indent"
step will lead to different divergences.
The version of "indent" used for the current release process is:
GNU indent 2.2.11
The options of "indent" used for the current release process is:
-npro -kr -i8 -ts8 -sob -l80 -ss -ncs
2. Manual indentation prettifying work in the Linux side will also harm the
automatically generated linuxized ACPICA patches, making them impossible
to apply directly.
This patch fixes source code differences caused by the two causes so that
the "human intervention" can be reduced in the future.

_GTS and _BFS were added to the suspend/resume flow
in the ACPI 2.0 specification.
Linux dutifully implemented _GTS and _BFS.
We discovered that it was rarely seen in systems
in the field. Further, some of those systems had
AML so bogus that it could never work -- proof that
no other operating system supports _GTS and _BFS.
So we made _GTS and _BFS optional via modparam,
and disabled them by default.
But we've had to complicate some code to keep
this support in the kernel, as these methods are defined
to be evaluated very close to sleep entry and exit.
Indeed, no other AML is ever evaluated with interrupts off.
We have submitted a proposal for _GTS and _BFS
to be officially removed from the ACPI specification
on the next revision. Here we remove it from Linux.
