Introduce a new flag showing whether the event has an event handler/method.
For all the GPEs and Fixed Events,
1. ACPI_EVENT_FLAG_HANDLE is cleared, it's an "invalid" ACPI event.
2. Both ACPI_EVENT_FLAG_HANDLE and ACPI_EVENT_FLAG_DISABLE are set,
it's "disabled".
3. Both ACPI_EVENT_FLAG_HANDLE and ACPI_EVENT_FLAG_ENABLE are set,
it's "enabled".
4. Both ACPI_EVENT_FLAG_HANDLE and ACPI_EVENT_FLAG_WAKE_ENABLE are set,
it's "wake_enabled".
Among other things, this prevents incorrect reporting of ACPI events
as being "invalid" when it's really just (temporarily) "disabled".

What: /sys/firmware/acpi/interrupts/
|
|
Date: February 2008

Description:
|
|
All ACPI interrupts are handled via a single IRQ,
|
|
the System Control Interrupt (SCI), which appears
|
|
as "acpi" in /proc/interrupts.
|
|
|
|
However, one of the main functions of ACPI is to make
|
|
the platform understand random hardware without
|
|
special driver support. So while the SCI handles a few
|
|
well known (fixed feature) interrupts sources, such
|
|
as the power button, it can also handle a variable
|
|
number of a "General Purpose Events" (GPE).
|
|
|
|
A GPE vectors to a specified handler in AML, which
|
|
can do a anything the BIOS writer wants from
|
|
OS context. GPE 0x12, for example, would vector
|
|
to a level or edge handler called _L12 or _E12.
|
|
The handler may do its business and return.
|
|
Or the handler may send send a Notify event
|
|
to a Linux device driver registered on an ACPI device,
|
|
such as a battery, or a processor.
|
|
|
|
To figure out where all the SCI's are coming from,
|
|
/sys/firmware/acpi/interrupts contains a file listing
|
|
every possible source, and the count of how many
|
|
times it has triggered.

sci - The total number of times the ACPI SCI

has claimed an interrupt.

gpe_all - count of SCI caused by GPEs.

gpeXX - count for individual GPE source

|
error - an interrupt that can't be accounted for above.
|
|
|
|
invalid: it's either a GPE or a Fixed Event that
|
|
doesn't have an event handler.
|
|
|
|
disable: the GPE/Fixed Event is valid but disabled.
|
|
|
|
enable: the GPE/Fixed Event is valid and enabled.
|
|
|
|
Root has permission to clear any of these counters. Eg.
|
|
# echo 0 > gpe11
|
|
|
|
All counters can be cleared by clearing the total "sci":
|
|
# echo 0 > sci
|
|
|
|
None of these counters has an effect on the function
|
|
of the system, they are simply statistics.
|
|
|
|
Besides this, user can also write specific strings to these files
|
|
to enable/disable/clear ACPI interrupts in user space, which can be
|
|
used to debug some ACPI interrupt storm issues.
|
|
|
|
Note that only writting to VALID GPE/Fixed Event is allowed,
|
|
i.e. user can only change the status of runtime GPE and
|
|
Fixed Event with event handler installed.
|
|
|
|
Let's take power button fixed event for example, please kill acpid
|
|
and other user space applications so that the machine won't shutdown
|
|
when pressing the power button.
