[ Upstream commit 13edf7539211d8f7d0068ce3ed143005f1da3547 ]

Initialization of the local acpi_object in acpi_processor_get_info()
only sets the first 4 bytes to zero and is thus incomplete. This is
indicated by messages like:
	acpi ACPI0007:be: Invalid PBLK length [166288104]

Fix this by initializing all 16 bytes of the processor member of that
union.

[ Upstream commit 47ec9b417ed9b6b8ec2a941cd84d9de62adc358a ]

If acpi_processor_get_info() returned an error, pr and the associated
pr-&gt;throttling.shared_cpu_map were leaked.

The unwind code was in the wrong order wrt to setup, relying on
some unwind actions having no affect (clearing variables that were
never set etc).  That makes it harder to reason about so reorder
and add appropriate labels to only undo what was actually set up
in the first place.

[ Upstream commit fadf231f0a06a6748a7fc4a2c29ac9ef7bca6bfd ]

Rafael observed [1] that returning 0 from processor_add() will result in
acpi_default_enumeration() being called which will attempt to create a
platform device, but that makes little sense when the processor is known
to be not available.  So just return the error code from acpi_processor_get_info()
instead.

<content type='text'>
ACPI 6.3 Errata A no longer allows _UID to return a string except for
Itanium (for historical reasons) as stated in section 5.2.12:

"From ACPI Specification 6.3 onward, all processor objects for all
architectures except Itanium must now use Device() objects with an
_HID of ACPI0007, and use only integer _UID values."

Therefore, the "we don't handle string _UIDs yet" comment, which
implies a missing feature, is redundant, so drop it.

<content type='text'>
Some platforms have bogus _CST which might cause unexpectd behavior
in the CPU idle driver. Some bogus _CST might be unable to be
disassembled by acpica-tools due to broken format.

Print extra log if the _CST extraction/verification failes.

This can be used to help narrow down why the CPU idle driver fails
to behave as expected.

The intel_idle driver will be modified to use ACPI _CST subsequently
and it will need to call acpi_processor_evaluate_cst(), so move that
function to acpi_processor.c so that it is always present (which is
required by intel_idle) and export it to modules to allow the ACPI
processor driver (which is modular) to call it.

No intentional functional impact.

<title>ACPI / processor: don't print errors for processorIDs == 0xff</title>

<id>2c2b005f549544c13ef4cfb0e4842949066889bc</id>

Some platforms define their processors in this manner:
    Device (SCK0)
    {
	Name (_HID, "ACPI0004" /* Module Device */)  // _HID: Hardware ID
	Name (_UID, "CPUSCK0")  // _UID: Unique ID
	Processor (CP00, 0x00, 0x00000410, 0x06){}
	Processor (CP01, 0x02, 0x00000410, 0x06){}
	Processor (CP02, 0x04, 0x00000410, 0x06){}
	Processor (CP03, 0x06, 0x00000410, 0x06){}
	Processor (CP04, 0x01, 0x00000410, 0x06){}
	Processor (CP05, 0x03, 0x00000410, 0x06){}
	Processor (CP06, 0x05, 0x00000410, 0x06){}
	Processor (CP07, 0x07, 0x00000410, 0x06){}
	Processor (CP08, 0xFF, 0x00000410, 0x06){}
	Processor (CP09, 0xFF, 0x00000410, 0x06){}
	Processor (CP0A, 0xFF, 0x00000410, 0x06){}
	Processor (CP0B, 0xFF, 0x00000410, 0x06){}
...

The processors marked as 0xff are invalid, there are only 8 of them in
this case.

So do not print an error on ids == 0xff, just print an info message.
Actually, we could return ENODEV even on the first CPU with ID 0xff, but
ACPI spec does not forbid the 0xff value to be a processor ID. Given
0xff could be a correct one, we would break working systems if we
returned ENODEV.
