The current LPM implementation has the following issues.
* Operation order isn't well thought-out. e.g. HIPM should be
configured after IPM in SControl is properly configured. Not the
other way around.
* Suspend/resume paths call ata_lpm_enable/disable() which must only
be called from EH context directly. Also, ata_lpm_enable/disable()
were called whether LPM was in use or not.
* Implementation is per-port when it should be per-link. As a result,
it can't be used for controllers with slave links or PMP.
* LPM state isn't managed consistently. After a link reset for
whatever reason including suspend/resume the actual LPM state would
be reset leaving ap->lpm_policy inconsistent.
* Generic/driver-specific logic boundary isn't clear. Currently,
libahci has to mangle stuff which libata EH proper should be
handling. This makes the implementation unnecessarily complex and
fragile.
* Tied to ALPM. Doesn't consider DIPM only cases and doesn't check
whether the device allows HIPM.
* Error handling isn't implemented.
Given the extent of mismatch with the rest of libata, I don't think
trying to fix it piecewise makes much sense. This patch reimplements
LPM support.
* The new implementation is per-link. The target policy is still
port-wide (ap->target_lpm_policy) but all the mechanisms and states
are per-link and integrate well with the rest of link abstraction
and can work with slave and PMP links.
* Core EH has proper control of LPM state. LPM state is reconfigured
when and only when reconfiguration is necessary. It makes sure that
LPM state is reset when probing for new device on the link.
Controller agnostic logic is now implemented in libata EH proper and
driver implementation only has to deal with controller specifics.
* Proper error handling. LPM config failure is attributed to the
device on the link and LPM is disabled for the link if it fails
repeatedly.
* ops->enable/disable_pm() are replaced with single ops->set_lpm()
which takes @policy and @hints. This simplifies driver specific
implementation.

libata depends on scsi_host_template for module reference counting and
sht's should be owned by each low level driver. During libahci split,
the sht was left with libahci.ko leaving the actual low level drivers
not reference counted. This made ahci and ahci_platform always
unloadable even while they're being actively used.
Fix it by defining AHCI_SHT() macro in ahci.h and defining a sht for
each low level ahci driver.

* Board IDs assigned to features are separated from the ones assigned
to specific implementations and both are ordered alphabetically.
* For NV MCPs, define per-generation alias board_ids and assign
matching aliases in the pci id table. This makes mcp_linux, 67-73

Currently the driver uses host->iomap to store all the iomapped BARs
of a PCI device (while AHCI devices actually use just a single memory
window).
We're going to teach AHCI to work with non-PCI buses, so there are two
options to make this work:
1. "fake" host->iomap array for non-PCI devices, and place the needed
address at iomap[AHCI_PCI_BAR];
2. Get rid of host->iomap usage, instead introduce a private mmio
field.
This patch implements the second option.

percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which
in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.
percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for
this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion
needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
used as the basis of conversion.
http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py
The script does the followings.
* Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used,
gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.
* When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains
core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
doesn't seem to be any matching order.
* If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
file.
The conversion was done in the following steps.
1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400
files.
2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion,
some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added
inclusions to around 150 files.
3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.
4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.
5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h
inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each
slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
necessary.
6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.
7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).
* x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
* powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
* sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
* ia64 SMP allmodconfig
* s390 SMP allmodconfig
* alpha SMP allmodconfig
* um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig
8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
a separate patch and serve as bisection point.
Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
the specific arch.

Mike Cui reported that his system with an NVIDIA MCP79 (aka MCP7A)

this appears to be a chipset bug. Since MCP79 is a fairly recent

Curiously, Aspire 3810T issues many SATA feature enable commands via
_GTF, of which one is invalid and another is not supported by the
drive. In the process, it also enables FPDMA non-zero offset.
However, the feature also needs to be supported and enabled from the
controller and it's wrong to enable it from _GTF unless the controller
can do it by default.
Currently, this ends up enabling FPDMA non-zero offset only on the
drive side leading to NCQ command failures and eventual disabling of
NCQ. This patch makes libata filter out FPDMA non-zero offset enable
for the machine.

Update the AHCI driver to display all of the HBA capabilities defined in the
AHCI 1.3 specification. Some of these are in a new CAP2 (HBA Capabilities

that undefined registers should always return 0 on read, but to be safe we
assume a value of 0 unless the controller reports AHCI version 1.2 or later.
The value can also be retrieved through sysfs as with the existing capability
field.

Some gigabytes have on-board SIMG5723s connected to JMB ahcis. These
are used to implement hardware raid. Unfortunately some firmware
revisions on these 5723s don't bring the link down when all the
downstream ports are unoccupied while not responding to reset protocol
which makes libata think that there's device attached to the port but
is not responding and retry. This results in painfully wrong boot
detection time for these ports when they're empty.
This patch quirks those boards such that ahci gives up after the
initial timeout. Combined with parallel probing, this gives quick
enough probing and also is safe because SIMG5723 will respond to the
first try if any of the downstream ports is occupied.
