5 ACPI Firmware Performance Data Table (FPDT) provides
6 information for firmware performance data for system boot,
7 S3 suspend and S3 resume. This sysfs entry contains the
8 performance data retrieved from the FPDT.
11 firmware_start_ns: Timer value logged at the beginning
12 of firmware image execution. In nanoseconds.
13 bootloader_load_ns: Timer value logged just prior to
14 loading the OS boot loader into memory.
16 bootloader_launch_ns: Timer value logged just prior to
17 launching the currently loaded OS boot loader
18 image. In nanoseconds.
19 exitbootservice_start_ns: Timer value logged at the
20 point when the OS loader calls the
21 ExitBootServices function for UEFI compatible
22 firmware. In nanoseconds.
23 exitbootservice_end_ns: Timer value logged at the point
24 just prior to the OS loader gaining control
25 back from the ExitBootServices function for
26 UEFI compatible firmware. In nanoseconds.
28 suspend_start_ns: Timer value recorded at the previous
29 OS write to SLP_TYP upon entry to S3. In
31 suspend_end_ns: Timer value recorded at the previous
32 firmware write to SLP_TYP used to trigger
33 hardware entry to S3. In nanoseconds.
35 resume_count: A count of the number of S3 resume cycles
36 since the last full boot sequence.
37 resume_avg_ns: Average timer value of all resume cycles
38 logged since the last full boot sequence,
39 including the most recent resume. In nanoseconds.
40 resume_prev_ns: Timer recorded at the end of the previous
41 platform runtime firmware S3 resume, just prior to
42 handoff to the OS waking vector. In nanoseconds.

48 The BGRT is an ACPI 5.0 feature that allows the OS
49 to obtain a copy of the firmware boot splash and
50 some associated metadata. This is intended to be used
51 by boot splash applications in order to interact with
52 the firmware boot splash in order to avoid jarring
55 image: The image bitmap. Currently a 32-bit BMP.
56 status: 1 if the image is valid, 0 if firmware invalidated it.
57 type: 0 indicates image is in BMP format.
59 ======== ===================================================
60 version: The version of the BGRT. Currently 1.
61 xoffset: The number of pixels between the left of the screen
62 and the left edge of the image.
63 yoffset: The number of pixels between the top of the screen
64 and the top edge of the image.

71 There are separate hotplug profiles for different classes of
72 devices supported by ACPI, such as containers, memory modules,
73 processors, PCI root bridges etc. A hotplug profile for a given
74 class of devices is a collection of settings defining the way
75 that class of devices will be handled by the ACPI core hotplug
76 code. Those profiles are represented in sysfs as subdirectories
77 of /sys/firmware/acpi/hotplug/.
79 The following setting is available to user space for each
82 ======== =======================================================
83 enabled: If set, the ACPI core will handle notifications of
84 hotplug events associated with the given class of
85 devices and will allow those devices to be ejected with
86 the help of the _EJ0 control method. Unsetting it
87 effectively disables hotplug for the corresponding

91 The value of the above attribute is an integer number: 1 (set)
92 or 0 (unset). Attempts to write any other values to it will
93 cause -EINVAL to be returned.
95 What: /sys/firmware/acpi/interrupts/
97 Contact: Len Brown <lenb@kernel.org>
99 All ACPI interrupts are handled via a single IRQ,
100 the System Control Interrupt (SCI), which appears
101 as "acpi" in /proc/interrupts.
103 However, one of the main functions of ACPI is to make
104 the platform understand random hardware without
105 special driver support. So while the SCI handles a few
106 well known (fixed feature) interrupts sources, such
107 as the power button, it can also handle a variable
108 number of a "General Purpose Events" (GPE).
110 A GPE vectors to a specified handler in AML, which
111 can do a anything the BIOS writer wants from
112 OS context. GPE 0x12, for example, would vector
113 to a level or edge handler called _L12 or _E12.
114 The handler may do its business and return.
115 Or the handler may send send a Notify event
116 to a Linux device driver registered on an ACPI device,
117 such as a battery, or a processor.
119 To figure out where all the SCI's are coming from,
120 /sys/firmware/acpi/interrupts contains a file listing
121 every possible source, and the count of how many
122 times it has triggered::
124 $ cd /sys/firmware/acpi/interrupts
127 ff_gbl_lock: 0 enable
128 ff_pmtimer: 0 invalid
131 ff_slp_btn: 0 invalid
168 =========== ==================================================
169 sci The number of times the ACPI SCI
170 has been called and claimed an interrupt.
172 sci_not The number of times the ACPI SCI
173 has been called and NOT claimed an interrupt.
175 gpe_all count of SCI caused by GPEs.
177 gpeXX count for individual GPE source
179 ff_gbl_lock Global Lock
183 ff_pwr_btn Power Button
185 ff_rt_clk Real Time Clock
187 ff_slp_btn Sleep Button
189 error an interrupt that can't be accounted for above.
191 invalid it's either a GPE or a Fixed Event that
192 doesn't have an event handler.
194 disable the GPE/Fixed Event is valid but disabled.
196 enable the GPE/Fixed Event is valid and enabled.
197 =========== ==================================================
199 Root has permission to clear any of these counters. Eg.::
203 All counters can be cleared by clearing the total "sci"::
207 None of these counters has an effect on the function
208 of the system, they are simply statistics.
210 Besides this, user can also write specific strings to these files
211 to enable/disable/clear ACPI interrupts in user space, which can be
212 used to debug some ACPI interrupt storm issues.
214 Note that only writing to VALID GPE/Fixed Event is allowed,
215 i.e. user can only change the status of runtime GPE and
216 Fixed Event with event handler installed.
218 Let's take power button fixed event for example, please kill acpid
219 and other user space applications so that the machine won't shutdown
220 when pressing the power button::
224 # press the power button for 3 times;
227 # echo disable > ff_pwr_btn
230 # press the power button for 3 times;
233 # echo enable > ff_pwr_btn
237 * this is because the status bit is set even if the enable
238 * bit is cleared, and it triggers an ACPI fixed event when
239 * the enable bit is set again
241 # press the power button for 3 times;
244 # echo disable > ff_pwr_btn
245 # press the power button for 3 times;
246 # echo clear > ff_pwr_btn /* clear the status bit */
247 # echo disable > ff_pwr_btn
