commit f3ca4164529b875374c410193bbbac0ee960895f upstream.

acpi_processor_set_throttling() uses set_cpus_allowed_ptr() to make
sure that the (struct acpi_processor)-&gt;acpi_processor_set_throttling()
callback will run on the right CPU.  However, the function may be
called from a worker thread already bound to a different CPU in which
case that won't work.

Make acpi_processor_set_throttling() use work_on_cpu() as appropriate
instead of abusing set_cpus_allowed_ptr().

<title>ACPI / video: Filter the _BCL table for duplicate brightness values</title>

<content type='text'>
commit bd8ba20597f0cfef3ef65c3fd2aa92ab23d4c8e1 upstream.

Some devices have duplicate entries in there brightness levels table, ie
on my Dell Latitude E6430 the table looks like this:

[    3.686060] acpi backlight index   0, val 80
[    3.686095] acpi backlight index   1, val 50
[    3.686122] acpi backlight index   2, val 5
[    3.686147] acpi backlight index   3, val 5
[    3.686172] acpi backlight index   4, val 5
[    3.686197] acpi backlight index   5, val 5
[    3.686223] acpi backlight index   6, val 5
[    3.686248] acpi backlight index   7, val 5
[    3.686273] acpi backlight index   8, val 6
[    3.686332] acpi backlight index   9, val 7
[    3.686356] acpi backlight index  10, val 8
[    3.686380] acpi backlight index  11, val 9
etc.

Notice that brightness values 0-5 are all mapped to 5. This means that
if userspace writes any value between 0 and 5 to the brightness sysfs attribute
and then reads it, it will always return 0, which is somewhat unexpected.

This is a problem for ie gnome-settings-daemon, which uses read-modify-write
logic when the users presses the brightness up or down keys. This is done
this way to take brightness changes from other sources into account.

On this specific laptop what happens once the brightness has been set to 0,
is that gsd reads 0, adds 5, writes 5, and on the next brightness up key press
again reads 0, so things get stuck at the lowest brightness setting.

Filtering out the duplicate table entries, makes any write to brightness
read back as the written value as one would expect, fixing this.

<title>ACPI / init: Flag use of ACPI and ACPI idioms for power supplies to regulator API</title>

commit 49a12877d2777cadcb838981c3c4f5a424aef310 upstream.

There is currently no facility in ACPI to express the hookup of voltage
regulators, the expectation is that the regulators that exist in the
system will be handled transparently by firmware if they need software
control at all. This means that if for some reason the regulator API is
enabled on such a system it should assume that any supplies that devices
need are provided by the system at all relevant times without any software
intervention.

Tell the regulator core to make this assumption by calling
regulator_has_full_constraints(). Do this as soon as we know we are using
ACPI so that the information is available to the regulator core as early
as possible. This will cause the regulator core to pretend that there is
an always on regulator supplying any supply that is requested but that has
not otherwise been mapped which is the behaviour expected on a system with
ACPI.

Should the ability to specify regulators be added in future revisions of
ACPI then once we have support for ACPI mappings in the kernel the same
assumptions will apply. It is also likely that systems will default to a
mode of operation which does not require any interpretation of these
mappings in order to be compatible with existing operating system releases
so it should remain safe to make these assumptions even if the mappings
exist but are not supported by the kernel.

 We were getting occasional "Scheduling while atomic" call traces

commit 524f42fab787a9510be826ce3d736b56d454ac6d upstream.

The ECDT of ASUSTEK L4R doesn't provide correct command and data
I/O ports.  The DSDT provides the correct information instead.

For this reason, add this machine to quirk list for ECDT validation
and use the EC information from the DSDT.

commit 016d5baad04269e8559332df05f89bd95b52d6ad upstream.

The _BIX method returns extended battery info as a package.
According the ACPI spec (ACPI 5, Section 10.2.2.2), the first member
of that package should be "Revision".  However, the current ACPI
battery driver treats the first member as "Power Unit" which should
be the second member.  This causes the result of _BIX return data
parsing to be incorrect.

Fix this by adding a new member called 'revision' to struct
acpi_battery and adding the offsetof() information on it to
extended_info_offsets[] as the first row.

commit d19f503e22316a84c39bc19445e0e4fdd49b3532 upstream.

device-&gt;driver_data needs to be cleared when releasing its data,
mem_device, in an error path of acpi_memory_device_add().

The function evaluates the _CRS of memory device objects, and fails
when it gets an unexpected resource or cannot allocate memory.  A
kernel crash or data corruption may occur when the kernel accesses
the stale pointer.

commit 780a6ec640a3fed671fc2c40e4dd30c03eca3ac3 upstream.

This patch addresses kernel bug 56661. BIOS reports an incorrect
backlight value, causing the driver to switch off the backlight
completely during startup. This patch ignores the incorrect value from
BIOS.

commit fedbe9bc6fd3e14b1ffbb3dac407777ac4a3650c upstream.

On HP m4 lapops, BIOS reports minimum backlight on boot and
causes backlight to dim completely. This ignores the initial backlight
values and set to max brightness.
