commit 75646e758a0ecbed5024454507d5be5b9ea9dcbf upstream.

Some machines (eg. Lenovo Z480) ECs are not stable during boot up
and causes battery driver fails to be loaded due to failure of getting
battery information from EC sometimes. After several retries, the
operation will work. This patch is to retry to get battery information 5
times if the first try fails.

[ backport to 3.14.5: removed second parameter in acpi_battery_update(),
introduced by the commit 9e50bc14a7f58b5d8a55973b2d69355852ae2dae (ACPI /

<title>ACPI / EC: Fix race condition in ec_transaction_completed()</title>

commit c0d653412fc8450370167a3268b78fc772ff9c87 upstream.

There is a race condition in ec_transaction_completed().

When ec_transaction_completed() is called in the GPE handler, it could
return true because of (ec-&gt;curr == NULL). Then the wake_up() invocation
could complete the next command unexpectedly since there is no lock between
the 2 invocations. With the previous cleanup, the IBF=0 waiter race need
not be handled any more. It's now safe to return a flag from
advance_condition() to indicate the requirement of wakeup, the flag is
returned from a locked context.

The ec_transaction_completed() is now only invoked by the ec_poll() where
the ec-&gt;curr is ensured to be different from NULL.

After cleaning up, the EVT_SCI=1 check should be moved out of the wakeup
condition so that an EVT_SCI raised with (ec-&gt;curr == NULL) can trigger a
QR_SC command.

commit 9b80f0f73ae1583c22325ede341c74195847618c upstream.

After we've added the first command byte write into advance_transaction(),
the IBF=0 waiter is duplicated with the command completion waiter
implemented in the ec_poll() because:
   If IBF=1 blocked the first command byte write invoked in the task
   context ec_poll(), it would be kicked off upon IBF=0 interrupt or timed
   out and retried again in the task context.

Remove this seperate and duplicate IBF=0 waiter.  By doing so we can
reduce the overall number of times to access the EC_SC(R) status
register.

<title>ACPI / EC: Add asynchronous command byte write support</title>

<content type='text'>
commit f92fca0060fc4dc9227342d0072d75df98c1e5a5 upstream.

Move the first command byte write into advance_transaction() so that all
EC register accesses that can affect the command processing state machine
can happen in this asynchronous state machine advancement function.

The advance_transaction() function then can be a complete implementation
of an asyncrhonous transaction for a single command so that:
 1. The first command byte can be written in the interrupt context;
 2. The command completion waiter can also be used to wait the first command
    byte's timeout;
 3. In BURST mode, the follow-up command bytes can be written in the
    interrupt context directly, so that it doesn't need to return to the
    task context. Returning to the task context reduces the throughput of
    the BURST mode and in the worst cases where the system workload is very
    high, this leads to the hardware driven automatic BURST mode exit.

In order not to increase memory consumption, convert 'done' into 'flags'
to contain multiple indications:
 1. ACPI_EC_COMMAND_COMPLETE: converting from original 'done' condition,
    indicating the completion of the command transaction.
 2. ACPI_EC_COMMAND_POLL: indicating the availability of writing the first
    command byte. A new command can utilize this flag to compete for the
    right of accessing the underlying hardware. There is a follow-up bug
    fix that has utilized this new flag.

The 2 flags are important because it also reflects a key concept of IO
programs' design used in the system softwares. Normally an IO program
running in the kernel should first be implemented in the asynchronous way.
And the 2 flags are the most common way to implement its synchronous
operations on top of the asynchronous operations:
1. POLL: This flag can be used to block until the asynchronous operations
         can happen.
2. COMPLETE: This flag can be used to block until the asynchronous
             operations have completed.
By constructing code cleanly in this way, many difficult problems can be
solved smoothly.

commit 66b42b78bc1e816f92b662e8888c89195e4199e1 upstream.

The advance_transaction() will be invoked from the IRQ context GPE handler
and the task context ec_poll(). The handling of this function is locked so
that the EC state machine are ensured to be advanced sequentially.

But there is a problem. Before invoking advance_transaction(), EC_SC(R) is
read. Then for advance_transaction(), there could be race condition around
the lock from both contexts. The first one reading the register could fail
this race and when it passes the stale register value to the state machine
advancement code, the hardware condition is totally different from when
the register is read. And the hardware accesses determined from the wrong
hardware status can break the EC state machine. And there could be cases
that the functionalities of the platform firmware are seriously affected.
For example:
 1. When 2 EC_DATA(W) writes compete the IBF=0, the 2nd EC_DATA(W) write may
    be invalid due to IBF=1 after the 1st EC_DATA(W) write. Then the
    hardware will either refuse to respond a next EC_SC(W) write of the next
    command or discard the current WR_EC command when it receives a EC_SC(W)
    write of the next command.
 2. When 1 EC_SC(W) write and 1 EC_DATA(W) write compete the IBF=0, the
    EC_DATA(W) write may be invalid due to IBF=1 after the EC_SC(W) write.
    The next EC_DATA(R) could never be responded by the hardware. This is
    the root cause of the reported issue.

Fix this issue by moving the EC_SC(R) access into the lock so that we can
ensure that the state machine is advanced consistently.

commit 867f9d463b82462793ea4610e748be0b04b37fc7 upstream.

The recently merged change (in v3.14-rc6) to ACPI resource detection
(below) causes all zero length ACPI resources to be elided from the
table:

  commit b355cee88e3b1a193f0e9a81db810f6f83ad728b
  Author: Zhang Rui &lt;rui.zhang@intel.com&gt;
  Date:   Thu Feb 27 11:37:15 2014 +0800

    ACPI / resources: ignore invalid ACPI device resources

This change has caused a regression in (at least) serial port detection
for a number of machines (see LP#1313981 [1]).  These seem to represent
their IO regions (presumably incorrectly) as a zero length region.
Reverting the above commit restores these serial devices.

Only elide zero length resources which lie at address 0.

Fixes: b355cee88e3b (ACPI / resources: ignore invalid ACPI device resources)

commit 867f9d463b82462793ea4610e748be0b04b37fc7 upstream.

The recently merged change (in v3.14-rc6) to ACPI resource detection
(below) causes all zero length ACPI resources to be elided from the
table:

    ACPI / resources: ignore invalid ACPI device resources

This change has caused a regression in (at least) serial port detection
for a number of machines (see LP#1313981 [1]).  These seem to represent
their IO regions (presumably incorrectly) as a zero length region.
Reverting the above commit restores these serial devices.

Only elide zero length resources which lie at address 0.

commit e63f6e28dda6de3de2392ddca321e211fd860925 upstream.

Revert commit ab0fd674d6ce (ACPI / AC: Remove AC's proc directory.),
because some old tools (e.g. kpowersave from kde 3.5.10) are still
using /proc/acpi/ac_adapter.

commit 73577d1df8e1f31f6b1a5eebcdbc334eb0330e47 upstream.

This patch fixes the following issue:
If DSDT is customized, no local DSDT copy is needed.

<title>ACPI: add dynamic_debug support</title>

commit 45fef5b88d1f2f47ecdefae6354372d440ca5c84 upstream.

Commit 1a699476e258 ("ACPI / hotplug / PCI: Hotplug notifications
from acpi_bus_notify()") added debug messages for a few common
events. These debug messages are unconditionally enabled if
CONFIG_DYNAMIC_DEBUG is defined, contrary to the documented
meaning, making the ACPI system spew lots of unwanted noise on
any kernel with dynamic debugging.

The bug was introduced by commit fbfddae69657 ("ACPI: Add
acpi_handle_&lt;level&gt;() interfaces"), which added the
CONFIG_DYNAMIC_DEBUG dependency without respecting its meaning.

Fix by adding real support for dynamic_debug.
