217f09631a thinkpad-acpi: untangle ACPI/vendor backlight selection
acpi_video_backlight_support() already tells us if ACPI is handling
backlight control through the generic ACPI handle.  It is better to just
trust it.

While at it, adjust down a printk priority, and test earlier for
brightness_enable=0.

0ea6e61122 Documentation: update broken web addresses.
Below you will find an updated version from the original series bunching all patches into one big patch
updating broken web addresses that are located in Documentation/*
Some of the addresses date as far far back as 1995 etc... so searching became a bit difficult,
the best way to deal with these is to use web.archive.org to locate these addresses that are outdated.
Now there are also some addresses pointing to .spec files some are located, but some(after searching
on the companies site)where still no where to be found. In this case I just changed the address
to the company site this way the users can contact the company and they can locate them for the users.

b525c06cdb thinkpad-acpi: lock down video output state access
Given the right combination of ThinkPad and X.org, just reading the
video output control state is enough to hard-crash X.org.

Until the day I somehow find out a model or BIOS cut date to not
provide this feature to ThinkPads that can do video switching through
X RandR, change permissions so that only processes with CAP_SYS_ADMIN
can access any sort of video output control state.

This bug could be considered a local DoS I suppose, as it allows any
non-privledged local user to cause some versions of X.org to
hard-crash some ThinkPads.

c7ac6291ea thinkpad-acpi: disable volume control
Disable volume control by default.  It can be enabled at module load
time by a module parameter (volume_control=1).

The audio control mixer that thinkpad-acpi interacts with is fully
functional without any drivers, and operated by hotkeys.

The idea behind the console audio control is that the human operator
is the only one that can interact with it.  The ThinkVantage suite in
Windows does not allow any software-based overrides, and only does OSD
(on-screen-display) functions.

The Linux driver will, with the addition of the ALSA interface, try to
follow and enforce the ThinkVantage UI design:

The user is supposed to use the keyboard hotkeys to interact with the
console audio control.  The kernel and the desktop environment is
supposed to cooperate to provide proper user feedback through
on-screen-display functions.

Distros are urged to not to enable volume control by default.
Enabling this must be a local admin's decision.  This is the reason
why there is no Kconfig option.

Keep in mind that all ThinkPads have a normal, main mixer (AC97 or
HDA) for regular software-based audio control.  We are not talking
about that mixer here.

Advanced users are, of course, free to enable volume control and do as
they please.

a112ceee67 thinkpad-acpi: support MUTE-only ThinkPads
Lenovo removed the extra mixer since the T61 and thereabouts.
Newer Lenovo models only have the mute gate function, and leave
the volume control to the HDA mixer.

Until a way to automatically query the firmware about its audio
control capabilities is discovered (there might not be any), use a
white/black list.

We will likely need to ask T60 (old and new model) and Z60/Z61 users
whether they have volume control to populate the black/white list.
Meanwhile, provide a volume_capabilities parameter that can be used to
override the defaults.

329e4e18df thinkpad-acpi: volume subdriver rewrite
I don't trust the coupled EC writes and SMI calls the current volume
control code does very much, although it is exactly what the IBM DSDTs
seem to do (they never do more than a single step though).

Change the driver to stop issuing SMIs, and just drive the EC directly
to the desired level (DSDTs seem to confirm this will work even on
very old models like the 570 and 600e/x).

We checkpoint directly to NVRAM (this can be turned off) at
suspend/shutdown/driver unload, which from what I can see in tbp,
should also work on every ThinkPad.

0d922e3b84 thinkpad-acpi: hotkey event driver update
Update the HKEY event driver to:

1. Handle better the second-gen firmware, which has no HKEY mask
   support but does report FN+F3, FN+F4 and FN+F12 without the need
   for NVRAM polling.

   a) always make the mask-related attributes available in sysfs;
   b) use DMI quirks to detect the second-gen firmware;
   c) properly report that FN+F3, FN+F4 and FN+F12 are enabled,
      and available even on mask-less second-gen firmware;

2. Decouple the issuing of hotkey events towards userspace from
   their reception from the firmware.  ALSA mixer and brightness
   event reporting support will need this feature.

3. Clean up the mess in the hotkey driver a great deal.  It is
   still very convoluted, and wants a full refactoring into a
   proper event API interface, but that is not going to happen
   today.

4. Fully reset firmware interface on resume (restore hotkey
   mask and status).

5. Stop losing polled events for no good reason when changing the
   mask and poll frequencies.  We will still lose them when the
   hotkey_source_mask is changed, as well as any that happened
   between driver suspend and driver resume.

The hotkey subdriver now has the notion of user-space-visible hotkey
event mask, as well as of the set of "hotkey" events the driver needs
(because brightness/volume change reports are not just keypress
reports in most ThinkPad models).

With this rewrite, the ABI level is bumped to 0x020500 should
userspace need to know it is dealing with the updated hotkey
subdriver.

06777be6d8 thinkpad-acpi: deprecate hotkey_bios_mask
Some analysis of the ACPI DSDTs shows that the HKEY pre-enabled mask
is always 0x80c (FN+F3,FN+F4 and FN+F12), which are the hotkeys that
the second gen of HKEY firmware supported (the first gen didn't report
any hotkeys, the second reported these tree hotkeys but had no mask
support, and the third added mask support).

So, this is probably some sort of backwards compatibility with older
versions of the IBM ThinkVantage suite.  We have no use for that, and
I know of exactly ZERO users of that attribute, anyway.  Start the
process of getting rid of it.

1f6fc2de95 thinkpad-acpi: remove dock and bay subdrivers
The standard ACPI dock driver can handle the hotplug bays and docks of
the ThinkPads just fine (including batteries) as of 2.6.27, and the
code in thinkpad-acpi for the dock and bay subdrivers is currently
broken anyway...

Userspace needs some love to support the two-stage ejection nicely,
but it is simple enough to do through udev rules (you don't even need
HAL) so this wouldn't justify fixing the dock and bay subdrivers,
either.

That leaves warm-swap bays (_EJ3) support for thinkpad-acpi, as well
as support for the weird dock of the model 570, but since such support
has never left the "experimental" stage, it is also not a strong
enough reason to find a way to fix this code.

Users of ThinkPads with warm-swap bays are urged to request that _EJ3
support be added to the regular ACPI dock driver, if such feature is
indeed useful for them.

d73772474f thinkpad-acpi: support the second fan on the X61
Support reading the tachometer of the auxiliary fan of a X60/X61.

It was found out by sheer luck, that bit 0 of EC register 0x31
(formely HBRV) selects which fan is active for tachometer readings
through EC 0x84/0x085: 0 for fan1, 1 for fan2.

Many thanks to Christoph Kl??nter, to Whoopie, and to weasel, who
helped confirm that behaviour.

Fan control through EC HFSP applies to both fans equally, regardless
of the state of bit 0 of EC 0x31.  That matches the way the DSDT uses
HFSP.

In order to better support the secondary fan, export a second
tachometer over hwmon, and add defensive measures to make sure we are
reading the correct tachometer.

Support for the second fan is whitelist-based, as I have not found
anything obvious to look for in the DSDT to detect the presence of
the second fan.

d7880f10c5 thinkpad-acpi: forbid the use of HBRV on Lenovo ThinkPads
Forcing thinkpad-acpi to do EC-based brightness control (HBRV) on a
X61 has very... interesting effects, instead of doing nothing (since
it doesn't have EC-based backlight control), it causes "weirdness" in
the fan tachometer readings, for example.

This means the EC register that used to be HBRV has been reused by
Lenovo for something else, but they didn't remove it from the DSDT.

Make sure the documentation reflects this data, and forbid the user
from forcing the driver to access HBRV on Lenovo ThinkPads.

b57f7e7b83 thinkpad-acpi: bump up version to 0.23
Plenty of high-profile changes, so it deserves a new version number.

Features added since 0.22:
 *  Restrict unsafe LEDs
 *  New race-less brightness control strategy for IBM ThinkPads
 *  Disclose TGID of driver access from userspace (debug)
 *  Warn when deprecated functions are used

Other changes:
 *  Better debug messages in some subdrivers
 *  Removed "hotkey disable" support, since it breaks the driver
 *  Dropped "ibm-acpi" alias

0e501834f8 thinkpad-acpi: rework brightness support
Refactor and redesign the brightness control backend...

In order to fix bugzilla #11750...

Add a new brightness control mode: support direct NVRAM checkpointing
of the backlight level (i.e. store directly to NVRAM without the need
for UCMS calls), and use that together with the EC-based control.
Disallow UCMS+EC, thus avoiding races with the SMM firmware.

Switch the models that define HBRV (EC Brightness Value) in the DSDT
to the new mode.  These are: T40-T43, R50-R52, R50e, R51e, X31-X41.

Change the default for all other IBM ThinkPads to UCMS-only.  The
Lenovo models already default to UCMS-only.

bee4cd9b9e thinkpad-acpi: enhanced debugging messages for rfkill subdrivers
Enhance debugging messages for all rfkill subdrivers in thinkpad-acpi.

Also, log a warning if the deprecated sysfs attributes are in use.
These attributes are going to be removed sometime in 2010.

There is an user-visible side-effect: we now coalesce attempts to
enable/disable bluetooth or WWAN in the procfs interface, instead of
hammering the firmware with multiple requests.

a4d5effcc7 thinkpad-acpi: restrict access to some firmware LEDs
Some of the ThinkPad LEDs indicate critical conditions that can cause
data loss or cause hardware damage when ignored (e.g. force-ejecting
a powered up bay; ignoring a failing battery, or empty battery; force-
undocking with the dock buses still active, etc).

On almost all ThinkPads, LED access is write-only, and the firmware
usually does fire-and-forget signaling on them, so you effectively
lose whatever message the firmware was trying to convey to the user
when you override the LED state, without any chance to restore it.

Restrict access to all LEDs that can convey important alarms, or that
could mislead the user into incorrectly operating the hardware.  This
will make the Lenovo engineers less unhappy about the whole issue.

Allow users that really want it to still control all LEDs, it is the
unaware user that we have to worry about.

2586d5663d thinkpad-acpi: remove HKEY disable functionality
The HKEY disable functionality basically cripples the entire event
model of the ThinkPad firmware and of the thinkpad-acpi driver.
Remove this functionality from the driver.  HKEY must be enabled at
all times while thinkpad-acpi is loaded, and disabled otherwise.

For sysfs, according to the sysfs ABI and the thinkpad-acpi sysfs
rules of engagement, we will just remove the attributes.  This will be
done in two stages: disable their function now, after two kernel
releases, remove the attributes.

For procfs, we call WARN().  If nothing triggers it, I will simply
remove the enable/disable commands entirely in the future along with
the sysfs attributes.

I don't expect much, if any fallout from this.  There really isn't any
reason to mess with hotkey_enable or with the enable/disable commands
to /proc/acpi/ibm/hotkey, and this has been true for years...

73a94d86a8 thinkpad-acpi: add new debug helpers and warn of deprecated atts
Add a debug helper that discloses the TGID of the userspace task
attempting to access the driver.  This is highly useful when dealing
with bug reports, since often the user has no idea that some userspace
application is accessing thinkpad-acpi...

Also add a helper to log warnings about sysfs attributes that are
deprecated.

Use the new helpers to issue deprecation warnings for bluetooth_enable
and wwan_enabled, that have been deprecated for a while, now.
