commit 0294112ee3135fbd15eaa70015af8283642dd970 upstream.

This effectively reverts the following three commits:

 7bc10388ccdd ACPI / resources: free memory on error in add_region_before()
 0f1b414d1907 ACPI / PNP: Avoid conflicting resource reservations
 b9a5e5e18fbf ACPI / init: Fix the ordering of acpi_reserve_resources()

(commit b9a5e5e18fbf introduced regressions some of which, but not
all, were addressed by commit 0f1b414d1907 and commit 7bc10388ccdd
was a fixup on top of the latter) and causes ACPI fixed hardware
resources to be reserved at the fs_initcall_sync stage of system
initialization.

The story is as follows.  First, a boot regression was reported due
to an apparent resource reservation ordering change after a commit
that shouldn't lead to such changes.  Investigation led to the
conclusion that the problem happened because acpi_reserve_resources()
was executed at the device_initcall() stage of system initialization
which wasn't strictly ordered with respect to driver initialization
(and with respect to the initialization of the pcieport driver in
particular), so a random change causing the device initcalls to be
run in a different order might break things.

The response to that was to attempt to run acpi_reserve_resources()
as soon as we knew that ACPI would be in use (commit b9a5e5e18fbf).
However, that turned out to be too early, because it caused resource
reservations made by the PNP system driver to fail on at least one
system and that failure was addressed by commit 0f1b414d1907.

That fix still turned out to be insufficient, though, because
calling acpi_reserve_resources() before the fs_initcall stage of
system initialization caused a boot regression to happen on the
eCAFE EC-800-H20G/S netbook.  That meant that we only could call
acpi_reserve_resources() at the fs_initcall initialization stage
or later, but then we might just as well call it after the PNP
initalization in which case commit 0f1b414d1907 wouldn't be
necessary any more.

For this reason, the changes made by commit 0f1b414d1907 are reverted
(along with a memory leak fixup on top of that commit), the changes
made by commit b9a5e5e18fbf that went too far are reverted too and
acpi_reserve_resources() is changed into fs_initcall_sync, which
will cause it to be executed after the PNP subsystem initialization
(which is an fs_initcall) and before device initcalls (including
the pcieport driver initialization) which should avoid the initial
issue.

commit 0f1b414d190724617eb1cdd615592fa8cd9d0b50 upstream.

Commit b9a5e5e18fbf "ACPI / init: Fix the ordering of
acpi_reserve_resources()" overlooked the fact that the memory
and/or I/O regions reserved by acpi_reserve_resources() may
conflict with those reserved by the PNP "system" driver.

If that conflict actually takes place, it causes the reservations
made by the "system" driver to fail while before commit b9a5e5e18fbf
all reservations made by it and by acpi_reserve_resources() would be
successful.  In turn, that allows the resources that haven't been
reserved by the "system" driver to be used by others (e.g. PCI) which
sometimes leads to functional problems (up to and including boot
failures).

To fix that issue, introduce a common resource reservation routine,
acpi_reserve_region(), to be used by both acpi_reserve_resources()
and the "system" driver, that will track all resources reserved by
it and avoid making conflicting requests.

<title>ACPI: Fix incompatibility with mcount-based function graph tracing</title>

commit 61b79e16c68d703dde58c25d3935d67210b7d71b upstream.

Paul Menzel reported a warning:

  WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 774 at /build/linux-ROBWaj/linux-4.9.13/kernel/trace/trace_functions_graph.c:233 ftrace_return_to_handler+0x1aa/0x1e0
  Bad frame pointer: expected f6919d98, received f6919db0
    from func acpi_pm_device_sleep_wake return to c43b6f9d

The warning means that function graph tracing is broken for the
acpi_pm_device_sleep_wake() function.  That's because the ACPI Makefile
unconditionally sets the '-Os' gcc flag to optimize for size.  That's an
issue because mcount-based function graph tracing is incompatible with
'-Os' on x86, thanks to the following gcc bug:

  https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=42109

I have another patch pending which will ensure that mcount-based
function graph tracing is never used with CONFIG_CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_SIZE on
x86.

But this patch is needed in addition to that one because the ACPI
Makefile overrides that config option for no apparent reason.  It has
had this flag since the beginning of git history, and there's no related
comment, so I don't know why it's there.  As far as I can tell, there's
no reason for it to be there.  The appropriate behavior is for it to
honor CONFIG_CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_{SIZE,PERFORMANCE} like the rest of the
kernel.

Some system supports hybrid graphics and its discrete VGA
does not have any connectors and therefore has no _DOD method.

commit f18ebc211e259d4f591e39e74b2aa2de226c9a1d upstream.

The problem with ornamental, do-nothing gotos is that they lead to
"forgot to set the error code" bugs.  We should be returning -EINVAL
here but we don't.  It leads to an uninitalized variable in
counter_show():

    drivers/acpi/sysfs.c:603 counter_show()
    error: uninitialized symbol 'status'.

Fixes: 1c8fce27e275 (ACPI: introduce drivers/acpi/sysfs.c)

<title>ACPI / osi: Fix an issue that acpi_osi=!* cannot disable ACPICA internal strings</title>

commit 30c9bb0d7603e7b3f4d6a0ea231e1cddae020c32 upstream.

The order of the _OSI related functionalities is as follows:

  acpi_blacklisted()
    acpi_dmi_osi_linux()
      acpi_osi_setup()
    acpi_osi_setup()
      acpi_update_interfaces() if "!*"
      &lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;
  parse_args()
    __setup("acpi_osi=")
      acpi_osi_setup_linux()
        acpi_update_interfaces() if "!*"
        &lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;
  acpi_early_init()
    acpi_initialize_subsystem()
      acpi_ut_initialize_interfaces()
      ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
  acpi_bus_init()
    acpi_os_initialize1()
      acpi_install_interface_handler(acpi_osi_handler)
      acpi_osi_setup_late()
        acpi_update_interfaces() for "!"
        &gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;
  acpi_osi_handler()

Since acpi_osi_setup_linux() can override acpi_dmi_osi_linux(), the command
line setting can override the DMI detection. That's why acpi_blacklisted()
is put before __setup("acpi_osi=").

Then we can notice the following wrong invocation order. There are
acpi_update_interfaces() (marked by &lt;&lt;&lt;&lt;) calls invoked before
acpi_ut_initialize_interfaces() (marked by ^^^^). This makes it impossible
to use acpi_osi=!* correctly from OSI DMI table or from the command line.
The use of acpi_osi=!* is meant to disable both ACPICA
(acpi_gbl_supported_interfaces) and Linux specific strings
(osi_setup_entries) while the ACPICA part should have stopped working
because of the order issue.

This patch fixes this issue by moving acpi_update_interfaces() to where
it is invoked for acpi_osi=! (marked by &gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;) as this is ensured to be
invoked after acpi_ut_initialize_interfaces() (marked by ^^^^). Linux
specific strings are still handled in the original place in order to make
the following command line working: acpi_osi=!* acpi_osi="Module Device".

Note that since acpi_osi=!* is meant to further disable linux specific
string comparing to the acpi_osi=!, there is no such use case in our bug
fixing work and hence there is no one using acpi_osi=!* either from the
command line or from the DMI quirks, this issue is just a theoretical
issue.
