[ Upstream commit 9249c32ec9197e8d34fe5179c9e31668a205db04 ]

The Dell Vostro 3350 ACPI video-bus device reports spurious
ACPI_VIDEO_NOTIFY_CYCLE events resulting in spurious KEY_SWITCHVIDEOMODE
events being reported to userspace (and causing trouble there).

Add a quirk setting the report_key_events mask to
REPORT_BRIGHTNESS_KEY_EVENTS so that the ACPI_VIDEO_NOTIFY_CYCLE
events will be ignored, while still reporting brightness up/down
hotkey-presses to userspace normally.

<title>ACPI: sysfs: Fix a buffer overrun problem with description_show()</title>

<content type='text'>
[ Upstream commit 888be6067b97132c3992866bbcf647572253ab3f ]

Currently, a device description can be obtained using ACPI, if the _STR
method exists for a particular device, and then exposed to the userspace
via a sysfs object as a string value.

If the _STR method is available for a given device then the data
(usually a Unicode string) is read and stored in a buffer (of the
ACPI_TYPE_BUFFER type) with a pointer to said buffer cached in the
struct acpi_device_pnp for later access.

The description_show() function is responsible for exposing the device
description to the userspace via a corresponding sysfs object and
internally calls the utf16s_to_utf8s() function with a pointer to the
buffer that contains the Unicode string so that it can be converted from
UTF16 encoding to UTF8 and thus allowing for the value to be safely
stored and later displayed.

When invoking the utf16s_to_utf8s() function, the description_show()
function also sets a limit of the data that can be saved into a provided
buffer as a result of the character conversion to be a total of
PAGE_SIZE, and upon completion, the utf16s_to_utf8s() function returns
an integer value denoting the number of bytes that have been written
into the provided buffer.

Following the execution of the utf16s_to_utf8s() a newline character
will be added at the end of the resulting buffer so that when the value
is read in the userspace through the sysfs object then it would include
newline making it more accessible when working with the sysfs file
system in the shell, etc.  Normally, this wouldn't be a problem, but if
the function utf16s_to_utf8s() happens to return the number of bytes
written to be precisely PAGE_SIZE, then we would overrun the buffer and
write the newline character outside the allotted space which can have
undefined consequences or result in a failure.

To fix this buffer overrun, ensure that there always is enough space
left for the newline character to be safely appended.

[ Upstream commit d1059c1b1146870c52f3dac12cb7b6cbf39ed27f ]

A custom DSDT file is mostly used during development or debugging,
and in that case it is quite likely to want to rebuild the kernel
after changing ONLY the content of the DSDT.

This patch adds the custom DSDT as a prerequisite to tables.o
to ensure a rebuild if the DSDT file is updated. Make will merge
the prerequisites from multiple rules for the same target.

ACPICA commit 180cb53963aa876c782a6f52cc155d951b26051a

According to the ACPI spec, _CID returns a package containing
hardware ID's. Each element of an ASL package contains a reference
count from the parent package as well as the element itself.

Name (TEST, Package() {
    "String object" // this package element has a reference count of 2
})

A memory leak was caused in the _CID repair function because it did
not decrement the reference count created by the package. Fix the
memory leak by calling acpi_ut_remove_reference on _CID package elements
that represent a hardware ID (_HID).

[ Upstream commit 65ea8f2c6e230bdf71fed0137cf9e9d1b307db32 ]

Generally, the C-state latency is provided by the _CST method or
FADT, but some OEM platforms using AMD Picasso, Renoir, Van Gogh,
and Cezanne set the C2 latency greater than C3's which causes the
C2 state to be skipped.

That will block the core entering PC6, which prevents S0ix working
properly on Linux systems.

In other operating systems, the latency values are not validated and
this does not cause problems by skipping states.

To avoid this issue on Linux, detect when latencies are not an
arithmetic progression and sort them.

<id>f47c2c06982efbeb8f3aaa418fca1e3cf3b9792c</id>
<content type='text'>
commit b1c0330823fe842dbb34641f1410f0afa51c29d3 upstream.

Some systems have had functional issues since commit 5a8361f7ecce
(ACPICA: Integrate package handling with module-level code) that,
among other things, changed the initial values of the
acpi_gbl_group_module_level_code and acpi_gbl_parse_table_as_term_list
global flags in ACPICA which implicitly caused acpi_ec_ecdt_probe() to
be called before acpi_load_tables() on the vast majority of platforms.

Namely, before commit 5a8361f7ecce, acpi_load_tables() was called from
acpi_early_init() if acpi_gbl_parse_table_as_term_list was FALSE and
acpi_gbl_group_module_level_code was TRUE, which almost always was
the case as FALSE and TRUE were their initial values, respectively.
The acpi_gbl_parse_table_as_term_list value would be changed to TRUE
for a couple of platforms in acpi_quirks_dmi_table[], but it remained
FALSE in the vast majority of cases.

After commit 5a8361f7ecce, the initial values of the two flags have
been reversed, so in effect acpi_load_tables() has not been called
from acpi_early_init() any more.  That, in turn, affects
acpi_ec_ecdt_probe() which is invoked before acpi_load_tables() now
and it is not possible to evaluate the _REG method for the EC address
space handler installed by it.  That effectively causes the EC address
space to be inaccessible to AML on platforms with an ECDT matching the
EC device definition in the DSDT and functional problems ensue in
there.

Because the default behavior before commit 5a8361f7ecce was to call
acpi_ec_ecdt_probe() after acpi_load_tables(), it should be safe to
do that again.  Moreover, the EC address space handler installed by
acpi_ec_ecdt_probe() is only needed for AML to be able to access the
EC address space and the only AML that can run during acpi_load_tables()
is module-level code which only is allowed to access address spaces
with default handlers (memory, I/O and PCI config space).

For this reason, move the acpi_ec_ecdt_probe() invocation back to
acpi_bus_init(), from where it was taken away by commit d737f333b211
(ACPI: probe ECDT before loading AML tables regardless of module-level
code flag), and put it after the invocation of acpi_load_tables() to
restore the original code ordering from before commit 5a8361f7ecce.

commit b1c0330823fe842dbb34641f1410f0afa51c29d3 upstream.

Some systems have had functional issues since commit 5a8361f7ecce
(ACPICA: Integrate package handling with module-level code) that,
among other things, changed the initial values of the
acpi_gbl_group_module_level_code and acpi_gbl_parse_table_as_term_list
global flags in ACPICA which implicitly caused acpi_ec_ecdt_probe() to
be called before acpi_load_tables() on the vast majority of platforms.

Namely, before commit 5a8361f7ecce, acpi_load_tables() was called from
acpi_early_init() if acpi_gbl_parse_table_as_term_list was FALSE and
acpi_gbl_group_module_level_code was TRUE, which almost always was
the case as FALSE and TRUE were their initial values, respectively.
The acpi_gbl_parse_table_as_term_list value would be changed to TRUE
for a couple of platforms in acpi_quirks_dmi_table[], but it remained
FALSE in the vast majority of cases.

After commit 5a8361f7ecce, the initial values of the two flags have
been reversed, so in effect acpi_load_tables() has not been called
from acpi_early_init() any more.  That, in turn, affects
acpi_ec_ecdt_probe() which is invoked before acpi_load_tables() now
and it is not possible to evaluate the _REG method for the EC address
space handler installed by it.  That effectively causes the EC address
space to be inaccessible to AML on platforms with an ECDT matching the
EC device definition in the DSDT and functional problems ensue in
there.

Because the default behavior before commit 5a8361f7ecce was to call
acpi_ec_ecdt_probe() after acpi_load_tables(), it should be safe to
do that again.  Moreover, the EC address space handler installed by
acpi_ec_ecdt_probe() is only needed for AML to be able to access the
EC address space and the only AML that can run during acpi_load_tables()
is module-level code which only is allowed to access address spaces
with default handlers (memory, I/O and PCI config space).

acpi_bus_init(), from where it was taken away by commit d737f333b211

commit d737f333b211361b6e239fc753b84c3be2634aaa upstream.

It was discovered that AML tables were loaded before or after the
ECDT depending on acpi_gbl_execute_tables_as_methods. According to
the ACPI spec, the ECDT should be loaded before the namespace is
populated by loading AML tables (DSDT and SSDT). Since the ECDT
should be loaded early in the boot process, this change moves the
ECDT probing to acpi_early_init.
