commit b8178f130e25c1bdac1c33e0996f1ff6e20ec08e upstream.

This reverts commit 8c33f51df406e1a1f7fa4e9b244845b7ebd61fa6.

Conflicts:
	drivers/acpi/pci_root.c

This commit broke some pre-1.1 PCIe devices by leaving them with
ASPM enabled.  Previously, we had disabled ASPM on these devices
because many of them don't implement it correctly (per 149e1637).

Requesting _OSC control early means that aspm_disabled may be set
before we scan the PCI bus and configure link ASPM state.  But the
ASPM configuration currently skips the check for pre-PCIe 1.1 devices
when aspm_disabled is set, like this:

    acpi_pci_root_add
      acpi_pci_osc_support
        if (flags != base_flags)
          pcie_no_aspm
            aspm_disabled = 1
      pci_acpi_scan_root
        ...
          pcie_aspm_init_link_state
            pcie_aspm_sanity_check
              if (!aspm_disabled)
                /* check for pre-PCIe 1.1 device */

Therefore, setting aspm_disabled early means that we leave ASPM enabled
on these pre-PCIe 1.1 devices, which is a regression for some devices.

The best fix would be to clean up the ASPM init so we can evaluate
_OSC before scanning the bug (that way boot-time and hot-add discovery
will work the same), but that requires significant rework.

For now, we'll just revert the _OSC change as the lowest-risk fix.

<title>ACPI: Rework acpi_get_child() to be more efficient</title>

commit 33f767d767e9a684e9cd60704d4c049a2014c8d5 upstream.

Observe that acpi_get_child() doesn't need to use the helper
struct acpi_find_child structure and change it to work without it.
Also, using acpi_get_object_info() to get the output of _ADR for the
given device is overkill, because that function does much more than
just evaluating _ADR (let alone the additional memory allocation
done by it).

Moreover, acpi_get_child() doesn't need to loop any more once it has
found a matching handle, so make it stop in that case.  To prevent
the results from changing, make it use do_acpi_find_child() as
a post-order callback.

commit 565d956a7e191e95d81f515196951715f2616e6b upstream.

Reflect this dependency in Kconfig, to prevent build failures.

Shorten the config description as suggested by Borislav Petkov.

Finding a suitable memory area to store the modified table(s) has been
taken over from arch/x86/kernel/setup.c and makes use of max_low_pfn_mapped:
memblock_find_in_range(0, max_low_pfn_mapped,...)
This one is X86 specific. It may not be hard to extend this functionality
for other ACPI aware architectures if there is need for.

For now make this feature only available for X86 to avoid build failures on
IA64, compare with:

Originally 'efi_enabled' indicated whether a kernel was booted from
EFI firmware. Over time its semantics have changed, and it now
indicates whether or not we are booted on an EFI machine with
bit-native firmware, e.g. 64-bit kernel with 64-bit firmware.

The immediate motivation for this patch is the bug report at,

    https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-cdimage/+bug/1040557

which details how running a platform driver on an EFI machine that is
designed to run under BIOS can cause the machine to become
bricked. Also, the following report,

    https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=47121

details how running said driver can also cause Machine Check
Exceptions. Drivers need a new means of detecting whether they're
running on an EFI machine, as sadly the expression,

    if (!efi_enabled)

hasn't been a sufficient condition for quite some time.

Users actually want to query 'efi_enabled' for different reasons -
what they really want access to is the list of available EFI
facilities.

For instance, the x86 reboot code needs to know whether it can invoke
the ResetSystem() function provided by the EFI runtime services, while
the ACPI OSL code wants to know whether the EFI config tables were
mapped successfully. There are also checks in some of the platform
driver code to simply see if they're running on an EFI machine (which
would make it a bad idea to do BIOS-y things).

This patch is a prereq for the samsung-laptop fix patch.

<title>ACPI: Check MSR valid bit before using P-state frequencies</title>

To fix incorrect P-state frequencies which can happen on
some AMD systems f594065faf4f9067c2283a34619fc0714e79a98d
   "ACPI: Add fixups for AMD P-state figures"
introduced a quirk to obtain the correct values by reading
from AMD specific MSRs.

This did cause a regression when running a kernel using that
quirk under Xen which does (currently) not pass through MSR
reads to the HW. Instead the guest gets a 0 in return.
And this seems to cause a failure to initialize the ondemand
governour (hard to say for sure as all P-states appear to run
at the same frequency).

While this should also be fixed in the hypervisor (to allow
a guest to read that MSR), this patch is intended to work
around the issue in the meantime. In discussion it turned out
that indeed real HW/BIOSes may choose to not set the valid bit
and thus mark the P-state as invalid. So this could be considered
a fix for broken BIOSes that also works around the issue on Xen.

The bit width check was introduced by 15afae60 (ACPI, APEI: Fix
incorrect APEI register bit width check and usage), and a fixup
for incorrect 32-bit width memory address was given by f712c71
(ACPI, APEI: Fixup common access width firmware bug). Now there
is a similar symptom:

[Firmware Bug]: APEI: Invalid bit width + offset in GAR [0x12345000/64/0/3/0]

Another bogus BIOS reports an incorrect 64-bit width in trigger table.
Thus, apply to a similar workaround for 64-bit width memory address.

<title>ACPI / processor: Get power info before updating the C-states</title>

acpi_processor_get_power_info() has to be called before
acpi_processor_setup_cpuidle_states() to have the latest
information available. This fixes the missing C-state information
after AC--&gt;DC transition.

<title>ACPI / cpuidle: Fix NULL pointer issues when cpuidle is disabled</title>

If cpuidle is disabled, that means that:

	per_cpu(acpi_cpuidle_device, pr-&gt;id)

is set to NULL as the acpi_processor_power_init ends up failing at

	 retval = cpuidle_register_driver(&amp;acpi_idle_driver)

(in acpi_processor_power_init) and never sets the per_cpu idle
device.  So when acpi_processor_hotplug on CPU online notification
tries to reference said device it crashes:
