commit 43cdd1b716b26f6af16da4e145b6578f98798bf6 upstream.

There's no need to be printing a raw kernel pointer to the kernel log at
every boot.  So just remove it, and change the whole message to use the
correct dev_info() call at the same time.

<title>ACPI: APEI / ERST: Fix missing error handling in erst_reader()</title>

commit bb82e0b4a7e96494f0c1004ce50cec3d7b5fb3d1 upstream.

The commit f6f828513290 ("pstore: pass allocated memory region back to
caller") changed the check of the return value from erst_read() in
erst_reader() in the following way:

        if (len == -ENOENT)
                goto skip;
-       else if (len &lt; 0) {
-               rc = -1;
+       else if (len &lt; sizeof(*rcd)) {
+               rc = -EIO;
                goto out;

This introduced another bug: since the comparison with sizeof() is
cast to unsigned, a negative len value doesn't hit any longer.
As a result, when an error is returned from erst_read(), the code
falls through, and it may eventually lead to some weird thing like
memory corruption.

This patch adds the negative error value check more explicitly for
addressing the issue.

commit 4f89fa286f6729312e227e7c2d764e8e7b9d340e upstream.

Replace ghes_io{re,un}map_pfn_{nmi,irq}()s use of ioremap_page_range()
with __set_fixmap() as ioremap_page_range() may sleep to allocate a new
level of page-table, even if its passed an existing final-address to
use in the mapping.

The GHES driver can only be enabled for architectures that select
HAVE_ACPI_APEI: Add fixmap entries to both x86 and arm64.

clear_fixmap() does the TLB invalidation in __set_fixmap() for arm64
and __set_pte_vaddr() for x86. In each case its the same as the
respective arch_apei_flush_tlb_one().

<title>ACPI, APEI, EINJ: Subtract any matching Register Region from Trigger resources</title>

commit 1d5d820b8fe83b5f859d1ebb028a09ada426447e upstream.

ACPI defines a number of instructions to use for triggering errors. However
we are currently removing the address resources from the trigger resources
for only the WRITE_REGISTER_VALUE instruction. This leads to a resource
conflict for any other valid instruction.

Check that the instruction is less than or equal to the
WRITE_REGISTER_VALUE instruction. This allows all valid memory access
instructions and protects against invalid instructions.

commit df9ff91801da603079018f21a9412385b62f0f8e upstream.

It is reported that the following commit breaks Samsung hardware:
 Commit: 558e4736f2e1b0e6323adf7a5e4df77ed6cfc1a4.
 Subject: ACPI / EC: Add support to disallow QR_EC to be issued before
          completing previous QR_EC

Which means the Samsung behavior conflicts with the Acer behavior.

1. Samsung may behave like:
   [ +event 1 ] SCI_EVT set
   [ +event 2 ] SCI_EVT set
                              write QR_EC
                              read event
   [ -event 1 ] SCI_EVT clear
   Without the above commit, Samsung can work:
   [ +event 1 ] SCI_EVT set
   [ +event 2 ] SCI_EVT set
                              write QR_EC
                              CAN prepare next QR_EC as SCI_EVT=1
                              read event
   [ -event 1 ] SCI_EVT clear
                              write QR_EC
                              read event
   [ -event 2 ] SCI_EVT clear
   With the above commit, Samsung cannot work:
   [ +event 1 ] SCI_EVT set
   [ +event 2 ] SCI_EVT set
                              write QR_EC
                              read event
   [ -event 1 ] SCI_EVT clear
                              CANNOT prepare next QR_EC as SCI_EVT=0
2. Acer may behave like:
   [ +event 1 ] SCI_EVT set
   [ +event 2 ]
                              write QR_EC
                              read event
   [ -event 1 ] SCI_EVT clear
   [ +event 2 ] SCI_EVT set
   Without the above commit, Acer cannot work when there is only 1 event:
   [ +event 1 ] SCI_EVT set
                              write QR_EC
                              can prepared next QR_EC as SCI_EVT=1
                              read event
   [ -event 1 ] SCI_EVT clear
                              CANNOT write QR_EC as SCI_EVT=0
   With the above commit, Acer can work:
   [ +event 1 ] SCI_EVT set
   [ +event 2 ]
                              write QR_EC
                              read event
   [ -event 1 ] SCI_EVT set
                              can prepare next QR_EC because SCI_EVT=0
                              CAN write QR_EC as SCI_EVT=1

Since Acer can also work with only the following commit applied:
 Commit: 3afcf2ece453e1a8c2c6de19cdf06da3772a1b08
 Subject: ACPI / EC: Add support to disallow QR_EC to be issued when
          SCI_EVT isn't set
commit 558e4736f2e1b0e6323adf7a5e4df77ed6cfc1a4 can be reverted.

<title>ACPI / power: Avoid maybe-uninitialized warning</title>

commit fe8c470ab87d90e4b5115902dd94eced7e3305c3 upstream.

gcc -O2 cannot always prove that the loop in acpi_power_get_inferred_state()
is enterered at least once, so it assumes that cur_state might not get
initialized:

drivers/acpi/power.c: In function 'acpi_power_get_inferred_state':
drivers/acpi/power.c:222:9: error: 'cur_state' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Werror=maybe-uninitialized]

This sets the variable to zero at the start of the loop, to ensure that
there is well-defined behavior even for an empty list. This gets rid of
the warning.

The warning first showed up when the -Os flag got removed in a bug fix
patch in linux-4.11-rc5.

I would suggest merging this addon patch on top of that bug fix to avoid
introducing a new warning in the stable kernels.

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.

<title>ACPI / APEI: Add missing synchronize_rcu() on NOTIFY_SCI removal</title>

commit 7d64f82cceb21e6d95db312d284f5f195e120154 upstream.

When removing a GHES device notified by SCI, list_del_rcu() is used,
ghes_remove() should call synchronize_rcu() before it goes on to call
kfree(ghes), otherwise concurrent RCU readers may still hold this list
entry after it has been freed.

No platform-device is required for IO(x)APICs, so don't even
create them.
