commit 8522d806d84e2c3816c275ae6dd79e124c1b3dac upstream.

ACPI_TAD_AC_WAKE is a non-zero bit definition, so testing the macro
itself is always true. As a result, every TAD device is initialized as
a system wakeup device, including RTC-only devices and devices whose
wake capability bits were cleared because _PRW is absent.

Test the capability value returned by _GCP instead. This keeps
RTC-only TAD devices usable without advertising a wakeup capability
that the firmware does not provide.

commit 9825cf2cb59fac7480e7fac9eee13ab9af3f1ea8 upstream.

Commit 292db66afd20 ("ACPICA: Unbreak tools build after switching over
to strscpy_pad()") added an #ifdef based on a __KERNEL__ check which is
sort of nasty to the acpi_ut_safe_strncpy() definition to unbreak ACPICA
tools builds broken by commit 97f7d3f9c9ac ("ACPICA: Replace strncpy()
with strscpy_pad() in acpi_ut_safe_strncpy()").  However, that #ifdef
effectively produces dead code when tools are built because they don't
call acpi_ut_safe_strncpy().

Accordingly, drop the existing definition of acpi_ut_safe_strncpy() and
define it as a strscpy_pad() alias.

The IOMMU configuration will be deferred if the IOMMU driver
isn't probed by the time. Make this deferral only in the
initialization stage with driver_deferred_probe_check_state().
Otherwise the devices depends on IOMMU will be deferred forever
in case the IOMMU device probe failed or it doesn't appear in
the ACPI namespace.

<title>ACPI: processor_idle: Mark LPI enter functions as __cpuidle</title>

[ Upstream commit 956ca5d72c76504824c8eb601879da9476973e15 ]

When function tracing or Kprobes is enabled, entering an ACPI Low
Power Idle (LPI) state triggers the following RCU splat:

  RCU not on for: acpi_idle_lpi_enter+0x4/0xd8
  WARNING: CPU: 8 PID: 0 at include/linux/trace_recursion.h:162 function_trace_call+0x1e8/0x228

The acpi_idle_lpi_enter() function is invoked within the cpuidle
path after RCU has already been disabled for the current local CPU.
Consequently, ftrace's function_trace_call() expects RCU to be
actively watching before recording trace data, emitting a warning
if it is not.

Fix this by annotating acpi_idle_lpi_enter(), the generic __weak
stub, and the RISC-V implementation of acpi_processor_ffh_lpi_enter()
with __cpuidle. This moves these functions into the '.cpuidle.text'
section, implicitly disabling ftrace instrumentation (notrace) along
this sensitive path and preventing trace-induced RCU warnings during
idle entry.

using strscpy_pad() instead of a combination of strncpy() and manual
NUL-termination of the destination string, but it overlooked the fact
that tools also use the code in question and strscpy_pad() is not
defined in those builds.

Address that by using the original ACPICA code in non-kernel builds.

[ Upstream commit 71b57aca295d61276a60e131d8f62b0cc7cf1a35 ]

Before commit a1a69b297e47 ("ACPI / IPMI: Fix race caused by the
unprotected ACPI IPMI user"), ipmi_bmc_gone() skipped entries whose
interface number did not match the SMI being removed, then killed the
matching entry:

	if (ipmi_device-&gt;ipmi_ifnum != iface)
		continue;

	__ipmi_dev_kill(ipmi_device);

That commit folded the removal block into the existing non-match test
while converting the object lifetime handling, but left the comparison
unchanged. The old != meant "continue past this entry"; after the
refactor it meant "kill this entry".

As a result, a single ACPI IPMI interface is never removed when its SMI
disappears. If multiple interfaces are tracked, the first interface
whose number differs from iface is removed instead, while the interface
that actually disappeared remains on driver_data.ipmi_devices. The
stale entry is not marked dead and can continue to be selected for ACPI
IPMI transactions. It can also prevent the same ACPI handle from being
registered again.

Change the comparison to == so ipmi_bmc_gone() removes exactly the
interface reported as gone by the SMI watcher. This restores the
pre-a1a69b297e47 behavior and is the correct interface matching logic.

[ Upstream commit 66c62e6773c54ce5233eb21c6d48999c3747bd13 ]

Commit 7a8c994cbb2d ("ACPI: processor: idle: Optimize ACPI idle
driver registration") moved the ACPI idle driver registration to
acpi_processor_driver_init(), but it didn't check whether a cpuidle
driver was already registered.

For example, on Intel platforms, if the intel_idle driver is already
loaded, the code would still evaluate the _CST object in the ACPI
table and attempt to register the acpi_idle driver. This registration
would fail with -EBUSY due to the existing check in cpuidle_register_driver.

Add a check at the beginning of acpi_processor_register_idle_driver()
to avoid unnecessary _CST evaluate and potential registration failures.

[ Upstream commit 66c62e6773c54ce5233eb21c6d48999c3747bd13 ]

Commit 7a8c994cbb2d ("ACPI: processor: idle: Optimize ACPI idle
driver registration") moved the ACPI idle driver registration to
acpi_processor_driver_init(), but it didn't check whether a cpuidle
driver was already registered.

For example, on Intel platforms, if the intel_idle driver is already
loaded, the code would still evaluate the _CST object in the ACPI
table and attempt to register the acpi_idle driver. This registration
would fail with -EBUSY due to the existing check in cpuidle_register_driver.

Add a check at the beginning of acpi_processor_register_idle_driver()
to avoid unnecessary _CST evaluate and potential registration failures.

<title>ACPI: IPMI: Fix message kref handling on dead device</title>

[ Upstream commit 63320db6a5d84ec3fed8b3d36ba5244d07ddd108 ]

acpi_ipmi_space_handler() takes an extra reference on tx_msg before
checking whether the selected IPMI device is dead. The reference
belongs to the tx_msg_list entry and is normally dropped by
ipmi_cancel_tx_msg() or ipmi_flush_tx_msg() after the message is removed
from the list.

On the dead-device path, the message has not been queued yet, but the
error path still calls ipmi_msg_release() directly. That bypasses
kref_put() and frees tx_msg while the queued-message reference is still
recorded in the kref count.

Take the queued-message reference only after the dead-device check
succeeds, immediately before adding tx_msg to the list.

[ Upstream commit f8600e0d1ac60e6eac34bc9c7e8cf78f7a4c368f ]

Static variable lid_device is set when the ACPI button driver probes
the last lid device (under the assumptions that there will be only
one lid device in the system) and never cleared, but in principle it
should be reset when the driver unbinds from the lid device pointed
to by it.

Address that and add locking that is needed to clear and set that
variable safely.
