pm+acpi-3.11-rc5
69fdadfd · ·ACPI and power management fixes for 3.11-rc5 - ACPI-based memory hotplug stopped working after a recent change, because it's not possible to associate sufficiently many "physical" devices with one ACPI device object due to an artificial limit. Fix from Rafael J Wysocki removes that limit and makes memory hotplug work again. - A change made in 3.9 uncovered a bug in the ACPI processor driver preventing NUMA nodes from being put offline due to an ordering issue. Fix from Yasuaki Ishimatsu changes the ordering to make things work again. - One of the recent ACPI video commits (that hasn't been reverted so far) uncovered a bug in the code handling quirky BIOSes that caused some Asus machines to boot with backlight completely off which made it quite difficult to use them afterward. Fix from Felipe Contreras improves the quirk to cover this particular case correctly. - A cpufreq user space interface change made in 3.10 inadvertently renamed the ignore_nice_load sysfs attribute to ignore_nice which resulted in some confusion. Fix from Viresh Kumar changes the name back to ignore_nice_load. - An initialization ordering change made in 3.9 broke cpufreq on loongson2 boards. Fix from Aaro Koskinen restores the correct initialization ordering there. - Fix breakage resulting from a mistake made in 3.9 and causing the detection of some graphics adapters (that were detected correctly before) to fail. There are two objects representing the same PCIe port in the affected systems' ACPI tables and both appear as "enabled" and we are expected to guess which one to use. We used to choose the right one before by pure luck, but when we tried to address another similar corner case, the luck went away. This time we try to make our guessing a bit more educated which is reported to work on those systems. - The /proc/acpi/wakeup interface code is missing some locking which may lead to breakage if that file is written or read during hotplug of wakeup devices. That should be rare but still possible, so it's better to start using the appropriate locking there. /

pm+acpi-3.11-rc4
2b44c4db · ·ACPI and power management fixes for 3.11-rc4 - Revert two cpuidle commits added during the 3.8 development cycle that turn out to have introduced a significant performance regression as requested by Jeremy Eder. - The recent patches that made the freezer less heavy-weight introduced a regression causing user-space-driven hibernation using the ioctl() interface to block indefinitely when the hibernate process executes try_to_freeze(). Fix from Colin Cross addresses this by adding a process flag to mark the hibernate/suspend process to inform the freezer that that process should be ignored. - One of the recent cpufreq reverts uncovered a problem in the core causing the cpufreq driver module refcount to become negative after a system suspend-resume cycle. Fix from Rafael J Wysocki. - The evaluation of the ACPI battery _BIX method has never worked correctly, because the commit that added support for it forgot to take the "Revision" field in the return package into account. As a result, the reading of battery info doesn't work at all on some systems, which is addressed by a fix from Lan Tianyu. /
