							|  |  |  | 		The BGRT is an ACPI 5.0 feature that allows the OS | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | 		to obtain a copy of the firmware boot splash and | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | 		some associated metadata. This is intended to be used | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | 		by boot splash applications in order to interact with | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | 		the firmware boot splash in order to avoid jarring | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | 		transitions. | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | 
 | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | 		image: The image bitmap. Currently a 32-bit BMP. | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | 		status: 1 if the image is valid, 0 if firmware invalidated it. | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | 		type: 0 indicates image is in BMP format. | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | 		version: The version of the BGRT. Currently 1. | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | 		xoffset: The number of pixels between the left of the screen | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | 			 and the left edge of the image. | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | 		yoffset: The number of pixels between the top of the screen |

							|  |  |  | Description: | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | 		There are separate hotplug profiles for different classes of | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | 		devices supported by ACPI, such as containers, memory modules, | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | 		processors, PCI root bridges etc.  A hotplug profile for a given | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | 		class of devices is a collection of settings defining the way | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | 		that class of devices will be handled by the ACPI core hotplug | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | 		code.  Those profiles are represented in sysfs as subdirectories | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | 		of /sys/firmware/acpi/hotplug/. | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | 
 | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | 		The following setting is available to user space for each | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | 		hotplug profile: | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | 
 | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | 		enabled: If set, the ACPI core will handle notifications of | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | 			hotplug events associated with the given class of | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | 			devices and will allow those devices to be ejected with | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | 			the help of the _EJ0 control method.  Unsetting it | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | 			effectively disables hotplug for the correspoinding | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | 			class of devices. | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | 
 | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | 		The value of the above attribute is an integer number: 1 (set) | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | 		or 0 (unset).  Attempts to write any other values to it will | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | 		cause -EINVAL to be returned. |

										 |  |  | What:		/sys/firmware/acpi/interrupts/ | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | Date:		February 2008 | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | Contact:	Len Brown <lenb@kernel.org> | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | 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. |
