The following is an implementation of the Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) ACPI interface mapper (PNP0C14). What it does: Parses the _WDG method and exports functions to process WMI method calls, data block query/ set commands (both based on GUID) and does basic event handling. How: WMI presents an in kernel interface here (essentially, a minimal wrapper around ACPI) (const char *guid assume the 36 character ASCII representation of a GUID - e.g. 67C3371D-95A3-4C37-BB61-DD47B491DAAB) wmi_evaluate_method(const char *guid, u8 instance, u32 method_id, const struct acpi_buffer *in, struct acpi_buffer *out) wmi_query_block(const char *guid, u8 instance, struct acpi_buffer *out) wmi_set_block(const char *guid, u38 instance, const struct acpi_buffer *in) wmi_install_notify_handler(acpi_notify_handler handler); wmi_remove_notify_handler(void); wmi_get_event_data(u32 event, struct acpi_buffer *out) wmi_has_guid(const char guid*) wmi_has_guid() is a helper function to find if a GUID exists or not on the system (a quick and easy way for WMI dependant drivers to see if the the method/ block they want exists, since GUIDs are supposed to be unique). Event handling - allow a WMI based driver to register a notifier handler for each GUID with WMI. When a notification is sent to a GUID in WMI, the handler registered with WMI is then called (it is left to the caller to ask for the WMI event data associated with the GUID, if needed). What it won't do: Unicode - The MS article[1] calls for converting between ASCII and Unicode (or vice versa) if a GUID is marked as "string". This is left up to the calling driver. Handle a MOF[1] - the WMI mapper just exports methods, data and events to userspace. MOF handling is down to userspace. Userspace interface - this will be added later.

Export events over netlink again. * Remove module left overs, fully convert to built-in driver. * Tweak in-kernel API to use u8 for instance, since this is what the GUID blocks use (so instance cannot be greater than u8). * Export wmi_get_event_data() for in kernel WMI drivers. v6 (2007-11-07) * Split out userspace into a different patch v7 (2007-11-20) * Fix driver to handle multiple PNP0C14 devices - store all GUIDs using the kernel's built in list functions, and just keep adding to the list every time we handle a PNP0C14 devices - GUIDs will always be unique, and WMI callers do not know or care about different devices. * Change WMI event handler registration to use its' own event handling struct; we should not pass an acpi_handle down to any WMI based drivers - they should be able to function with only the calls provided in WMI. * Update my e-mail address v8 (2007-11-28) * Convert back to a module. * Update Kconfig to default to building as a module. * Remove an erroneous printk. * Simply comments for string flag (since we now leave the handling to the caller). v9 (2007-12-07) * Add back missing MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE for autoloading * Checkpatch fixes v10 (2007-12-12) * Workaround broken GUIDs declared expensive without a WCxx method. * Minor cleanups v11 (2007-12-17) * More fixing for broken GUIDs declared expensive without a WCxx method. * Add basic EmbeddedControl region handling. v12 (2007-12-18) * Changed EC region handling code, as per Alexey's comments. v13 (2007-12-27) * Changed event handling so that we can have one event handler registered per GUID, as per Matthew Garrett's suggestion. v14 (2008-01-12) * Remove ACPI debug statements v15 (2008-02-01) * Replace two remaining 'x == NULL' type tests with '!x' v16 (2008-02-05) * Change MAINTAINERS entry, as I am not, and never have been, paid to work on WMI * Remove 'default' line from Kconfig Signed-off-by: Carlos Corbacho <carlos@strangeworlds.co.uk> CC: Matthew Garrett <mjg59@srcf.ucam.org> CC: Alexey Starikovskiy <aystarik@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Len Brown <len.brown@intel.com> |
