[ Upstream commit 7d64f82cceb21e6d95db312d284f5f195e120154 ]

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.

[ Upstream commit e3d5092b6756b9e0b08f94bbeafcc7afe19f0996 ]

The on-stack resource-window 'win' in setup_res() is not
properly initialized. This causes the pointers in the
embedded 'struct resource' to contain stale addresses.

These pointers (in my case the -&gt;child pointer) later get
propagated to the global iomem_resources list, causing a #GP
exception when the list is traversed in
iomem_map_sanity_check().

<title>ACPI / scan: Prefer devices without _HID/_CID for _ADR matching</title>

[ Upstream commit c2a6bbaf0c5f90463a7011a295bbdb7e33c80b51 ]

The way acpi_find_child_device() works currently is that, if there
are two (or more) devices with the same _ADR value in the same
namespace scope (which is not specifically allowed by the spec and
the OS behavior in that case is not defined), the first one of them
found to be present (with the help of _STA) will be returned.

This covers the majority of cases, but is not sufficient if some of
the devices in question have a _HID (or _CID) returning some valid
ACPI/PNP device IDs (which is disallowed by the spec) and the
ASL writers' expectation appears to be that the OS will match
devices without a valid ACPI/PNP device ID against a given bus
address first.

To cover this special case as well, modify find_child_checks()
to prefer devices without ACPI/PNP device IDs over devices that
have them.

[ Upstream commit fe8c470ab87d90e4b5115902dd94eced7e3305c3 ]

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.

[ Upstream commit 61b79e16c68d703dde58c25d3935d67210b7d71b ]

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 / processor: Request native thermal interrupt handling via _OSC</title>

[ Upstream commit a21211672c9a1d730a39aa65d4a5b3414700adfb ]

There are several reports of freeze on enabling HWP (Hardware PStates)
feature on Skylake-based systems by the Intel P-states driver. The root
cause is identified as the HWP interrupts causing BIOS code to freeze.

HWP interrupts use the thermal LVT which can be handled by Linux
natively, but on the affected Skylake-based systems SMM will respond
to it by default.  This is a problem for several reasons:
 - On the affected systems the SMM thermal LVT handler is broken (it
   will crash when invoked) and a BIOS update is necessary to fix it.
 - With thermal interrupt handled in SMM we lose all of the reporting
   features of the arch/x86/kernel/cpu/mcheck/therm_throt driver.
 - Some thermal drivers like x86-package-temp depend on the thermal
   threshold interrupts signaled via the thermal LVT.
 - The HWP interrupts are useful for debugging and tuning
   performance (if the kernel can handle them).
The native handling of thermal interrupts needs to be enabled
because of that.

This requires some way to tell SMM that the OS can handle thermal
interrupts.  That can be done by using _OSC/_PDC in processor
scope very early during ACPI initialization.

The meaning of _OSC/_PDC bit 12 in processor scope is whether or
not the OS supports native handling of interrupts for Collaborative
Processor Performance Control (CPPC) notifications.  Since on
HWP-capable systems CPPC is a firmware interface to HWP, setting
this bit effectively tells the firmware that the OS will handle
thermal interrupts natively going forward.

For details on _OSC/_PDC refer to:
http://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/standards/processor-vendor-specific-acpi-specification.html

To implement the _OSC/_PDC handshake as described, introduce a new
function, acpi_early_processor_osc(), that walks the ACPI
namespace looking for ACPI processor objects and invokes _OSC for
them with bit 12 in the capabilities buffer set and terminates the
namespace walk on the first success.

Also modify intel_thermal_interrupt() to clear HWP status bits in
the HWP_STATUS MSR to acknowledge HWP interrupts (which prevents
them from firing continuously).

  parse_args()
    __setup("acpi_osi=")
      acpi_osi_setup_linux()

  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.

[ Upstream commit 30c9bb0d7603e7b3f4d6a0ea231e1cddae020c32 ]

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 "!*"

      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_os_initialize1()

[ Upstream commit b186b4dcb79b1914c3dadb27ac72dafaa4267998 ]

The quirk to get "acpi_backlight=vendor" behavior by default on the
Dell Inspiron 5737 was added before we started doing
"acpi_backlight=native" by default on Win8 ready machines.

Since we now avoid using acpi-video as backlight driver on these machines
by default (using the native driver instead) we no longer need this quirk.

Moreover the vendor driver does not work after a suspend/resume where
as the native driver does.

This reverts commit 08a56226d847 (ACPI / video: Add Dell Inspiron 5737
to the blacklist).
