H A Dinit.cdiff 7752d5cfe3d11ca0bb9c673ec38bd78ba6578f8e Fri Feb 15 03:27:20 CST 2008 Robert Hancock <hancockr@shaw.ca> x86: validate against acpi motherboard resources

This path adds validation of the MMCONFIG table against the ACPI reserved
motherboard resources. If the MMCONFIG table is found to be reserved in
ACPI, we don't bother checking the E820 table. The PCI Express firmware
spec apparently tells BIOS developers that reservation in ACPI is required
and E820 reservation is optional, so checking against ACPI first makes
sense. Many BIOSes don't reserve the MMCONFIG region in E820 even though
it is perfectly functional, the existing check needlessly disables MMCONFIG
in these cases.

In order to do this, MMCONFIG setup has been split into two phases. If PCI
configuration type 1 is not available then MMCONFIG is enabled early as
before. Otherwise, it is enabled later after the ACPI interpreter is
enabled, since we need to be able to execute control methods in order to
check the ACPI reserved resources. Presently this is just triggered off
the end of ACPI interpreter initialization.

There are a few other behavioral changes here:

- Validate all MMCONFIG configurations provided, not just the first one.

- Validate the entire required length of each configuration according to
the provided ending bus number is reserved, not just the minimum required
allocation.

- Validate that the area is reserved even if we read it from the chipset
directly and not from the MCFG table. This catches the case where the
BIOS didn't set the location properly in the chipset and has mapped it
over other things it shouldn't have.

This also cleans up the MMCONFIG initialization functions so that they
simply do nothing if MMCONFIG is not compiled in.

Based on an original patch by Rajesh Shah from Intel.

when there is no ECDT table and no _INI object for EC device, it will be
enabled before scanning ACPI device. But it is too late after the following
the commit is merged.

>x86: validate against acpi motherboard resources

After the above commit is merged, OS will check whether MCFG area is
reserved in ACPI motherboard resources by calling the function of
acpi_get_devices when there exists MCFG table. In the acpi_get_devices the _STA
object will be evaluated to check the status of the ACPI device. On some broken
BIOS the MYEC object of EC device is initialized as one, which indicates that
EC operation region is already accessible before enabling EC device.So on these
broken BIOS the EC operation region will be accessed in course of evaluating
the _STA object before enabling EC device, which causes that OS will print the
following warning messages:
>ACPI Error (evregion-0315): No handler for Region [EC__] (ffff88007f8145e8)
[EmbeddedControl] [20080609]
>ACPI Error (exfldio-0290): Region EmbeddedControl(3) has no handler [20080321]
>ACPI Error (psparse-0530): Method parse/execution failed [\_SB_.PCI0.SBRG.
EC__.BAT1._STA] (Node ffff81013fc17a00), AE_NOT_EXIST
>ACPI Error (uteval-0233): Method execution failed [\_SB_.PCI0.SBRG.EC__.BAT1.
_STA] (Node ffff81013fc17a00), AE_NOT_EXIST

Although the above warning message is harmless, it looks confusing.
So it is necessary to enable EC device as early as possible.Maybe it is
appropriate to enable it immediately after ACPI full initialization.
