The underlying assumption is that each CPU can change frequency independently from all other CPUs; _PSD is provided to tell the OS that some processors can NOT do that. However, the acpi_get_psd() function returns ENODEV if there is no _PSD method present, or an ACPI error status if an error occurs when evaluating _PSD, if present. This makes _PSD mandatory when using CPPC, in violation of the specification, and only on Linux. This has forced some firmware writers to provide a dummy _PSD, even though it is irrelevant, but only because Linux requires it; other OSPMs follow the spec. We really do not want to have OS specific ACPI tables, though. So, correct acpi_get_psd() so that it does not return an error if there is no _PSD method present, but does return a failure when the method can not be executed properly. This allows _PSD to be optional as it should be. v3: -- bodged the simplification in v2; simplified it properly this time -- verified all error statuses are handled v2: -- verified simple check for AE_NOT_FOUND was sufficient -- simplified return status check per Rafael's suggestion Signed-off-by: Al Stone --- drivers/acpi/cppc_acpi.c | 6 ++++-- 1 file changed, 4 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/drivers/acpi/cppc_acpi.c b/drivers/acpi/cppc_acpi.c index 15f103d7532b..3b2525908dd8 100644 --- a/drivers/acpi/cppc_acpi.c +++ b/drivers/acpi/cppc_acpi.c @@ -365,8 +365,10 @@ static int acpi_get_psd(struct cpc_desc *cpc_ptr, acpi_handle handle) union acpi_object *psd = NULL; struct acpi_psd_package *pdomain; - status = acpi_evaluate_object_typed(handle, "_PSD", NULL, &buffer, - ACPI_TYPE_PACKAGE); + status = acpi_evaluate_object_typed(handle, "_PSD", NULL, + &buffer, ACPI_TYPE_PACKAGE); + if (status == AE_NOT_FOUND) /* _PSD is optional */ + return 0; if (ACPI_FAILURE(status)) return -ENODEV; -- 2.21.0
