The comment about return value of acpi_table_parse() is incorrect.
This patch fix it.
Since all callers only check if the function succeeded or not, this
patch simplifies the semantics by returning -errno for all failure
cases. This will also simply the comment.
As suggested by Toshi Kani <toshi.kani@hp.com>, also change the stub
in linux/acpi.h to return -ENODEV.

After commit 7f8f97c3cc (ACPI: acpi_table_parse() now returns
success/fail, not count), acpi_table_parse() returns '1' when it is
unable to find the table, but it should return a negative error code
in that case. Make it return -ENODEV instead.
Fix the same problem in acpi_table_init() analogously.

This is a cosmetic patch only. Comparison of the resulting binary showed
only line number differences.
This patch does not affect the generation of the Linux binary.
This patch decreases 44 lines of 20121114 divergence.diff.
There are naming conflicts between Linux and ACPICA on table handlers. This

Parsing acpi table entries may fall into an infinite loop on a buggy BIOS
which has entry length=0 in acpi table.
Instead of kernel hang with few failure clue which leads to heavy lifting debug
effort, this patch hardens kernel boot by booting into non NUMA mode. The debug
info left in log buffer helps people identify the issue.

acpi=ht was important in 2003 -- before ACPI was
universally deployed and enabled by default in
the major Linux distributions.
At that time, there were a fair number of people who
or chose to, or needed to, run with acpi=off,
yet also wanted access to Hyper-threading.
Today we find that many invocations of "acpi=ht"
are accidental, and thus is it possible that it
is doing more harm than good.
In 2.6.34, we warn on invocation of acpi=ht.
In 2.6.35, we delete the boot option.

We broke "acpi=ht" in 2.6.32 by disabling MADT parsing
for acpi=disabled. e5b8fc6ac1
This also broke systems which invoked acpi=ht via DMI blacklist.
acpi=ht is a really ugly hack,
but restore it for those that still use it.

All logical processors with APIC ID values of 255 and greater will have their
APIC reported through Processor X2APIC structure (type-9 entry type) and all
logical processors with APIC ID less than 255 will have their APIC reported
through legacy Processor Local APIC (type-0 entry type) only. This is the
same case even for NMI structure reporting.
The Processor X2APIC Affinity structure provides the association between the
X2APIC ID of a logical processor and the proximity domain to which the logical
processor belongs.
For OSPM, Procssor IDs outside the 0-254 range are to be declared as Device()
objects in the ACPI namespace.

to prevent wrongly overwriting fixmap that still want to use.
ACPI used to rely on low mappings being all linearly mapped and
grew a habit: it never really unmapped certain kinds of tables
after use.
This can cause problems - for example the hypothetical case
when some spurious access still references it.
v2: remove prev_map and prev_size in __apci_map_table
v3: let acpi_os_unmap_memory() call early_iounmap too, so remove extral calling to
early_acpi_os_unmap_memory
v4: fix typo in one acpi_get_table_with_size calling

When ACPI is disabled in the BIOS of this VIA C3 box,
it invalidates the RSDP, which Linux notices:
ACPI Error (tbxfroot-0218): A valid RSDP was not found [20080926]
Bug Linux neglected to disable ACPI at that stage,
and later scribbled on smp_found_config:
ACPI: No APIC-table, disabling MPS
But this box doesn't run well in legacy PIC mode,
it needed IOAPIC mode to perform correctly:
http://lkml.org/lkml/2009/2/5/39
So exit ACPI mode cleanly when we first detect
that it is hopeless.

When a BIOS bug presents multiple APIC/MADTs,
Linux currently uses the 1st and ignores the 2nd.
But some machines work better if we use the 2nd.

Add a warning and boot parameter "acpi_apic_instance=2"
to allow parsing the 2nd.

After Al Viro (finally) succeeded in removing the sched.h #include in module.h
recently, it makes sense again to remove other superfluous sched.h includes.
There are quite a lot of files which include it but don't actually need
anything defined in there. Presumably these includes were once needed for
macros that used to live in sched.h, but moved to other header files in the
course of cleaning it up.
To ease the pain, this time I did not fiddle with any header files and only
removed #includes from .c-files, which tend to cause less trouble.
Compile tested against 2.6.20-rc2 and 2.6.20-rc2-mm2 (with offsets) on alpha,
arm, i386, ia64, mips, powerpc, and x86_64 with allnoconfig, defconfig,
allmodconfig, and allyesconfig as well as a few randconfigs on x86_64 and all
configs in arch/arm/configs on arm. I also checked that no new warnings were
introduced by the patch (actually, some warnings are removed that were emitted
by unnecessarily included header files).

Implemented header file support for the following
additional ACPI tables: ASF!, BOOT, CPEP, DBGP, MCFG, SPCR,
SPMI, TCPA, and WDRT. With this support, all current and
known ACPI tables are now defined in the ACPICA headers and
are available for use by device drivers and other software.
Implemented support to allow tables that contain ACPI
names with invalid characters to be loaded. Previously,
this would cause the table load to fail, but since
there are several known cases of such tables on
existing machines, this change was made to enable
ACPI support for them. Also, this matches the
behavior of the Microsoft ACPI implementation.

Fixed a couple regressions introduced during the memory
optimization in the 20060317 release. The namespace
node definition required additional reorganization and
an internal datatype that had been changed to 8-bit was
restored to 32-bit. (Valery Podrezov)
Fixed a problem where a null pointer passed to
acpi_ut_delete_generic_state() could be passed through
to acpi_os_release_object which is unexpected. Such
null pointers are now trapped and ignored, matching
the behavior of the previous implementation before the
deployment of acpi_os_release_object(). (Valery Podrezov,
Fiodor Suietov)
Fixed a memory mapping leak during the deletion of
a SystemMemory operation region where a cached memory
mapping was not deleted. This became a noticeable problem
for operation regions that are defined within frequently
used control methods. (Dana Meyers)
Reorganized the ACPI table header files into two main
files: one for the ACPI tables consumed by the ACPICA core,
and another for the miscellaneous ACPI tables that are
consumed by the drivers and other software. The various
FADT definitions were merged into one common section and
three different tables (ACPI 1.0, 1.0+, and 2.0)

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
