[ Upstream commit 24ea5f90ec9548044a6209685c5010edd66ffe8f ]

ACPICA commit d984f12041392fa4156b52e2f7e5c5e7bc38ad9e

If Operand[0] is a reference of the ACPI_REFCLASS_REFOF class,
acpi_ex_opcode_1A_0T_1R () calls acpi_ns_get_attached_object () to
obtain return_desc which may require additional resolution with
the help of acpi_ex_read_data_from_field (). If the latter fails,
the reference counter of the original return_desc is decremented
which is incorrect, because acpi_ns_get_attached_object () does not
increment the reference counter of the object returned by it.

This issue may lead to premature deletion of the attached object
while it is still attached and a use-after-free and crash in the
host OS.  For example, this may happen when on evaluation of ref_of()
a local region field where there is no registered handler for the
given Operation Region.

Fix it by making acpi_ex_opcode_1A_0T_1R () return Status right away
after a acpi_ex_read_data_from_field () failure.

ACPICA commit c11af67d8f7e3d381068ce7771322f2b5324d687

If original_count is 0 in acpi_ut_update_ref_count (),
acpi_ut_delete_internal_obj () is invoked for the target object, which is
incorrect, because that object has been deleted once already and the
memory allocated to store it may have been reclaimed and allocated
for a different purpose by the host OS.  Moreover, a confusing debug
message following the "Reference Count is already zero, cannot
decrement" warning is printed in that case.

To fix this issue, make acpi_ut_update_ref_count () return after finding
that original_count is 0 and printing the above warning.

[ Upstream commit 2835f327bd1240508db2c89fe94a056faa53c49a ]

Some buggy firmware and/or brand new batteries can support a charge that's
slightly over the reported design capacity. In such cases, the kernel will
report to userspace that the charging state of the battery is "Unknown",
when in reality the battery charge is "Full", at least from the design
capacity point of view. Make the fallback condition accepts capacities
over the designed capacity so userspace knows that is full.

ACPICA commit 0762982923f95eb652cf7ded27356b247c9774de

During wakeup from system-wide sleep states, acpi_get_sleep_type_data()
is called and it tries to get memory from the slab allocator in order
to evaluate a control method, but if KFENCE is enabled in the kernel,
the memory allocation attempt causes an IRQ work to be queued and a
self-IPI to be sent to the CPU running the code which requires the
memory controller to be ready, so if that happens too early in the
wakeup path, it doesn't work.

Prevent that from taking place by calling acpi_get_sleep_type_data()
for S0 upfront, when preparing to enter a given sleep state, and
saving the data obtained by it for later use during system wakeup.

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

[ 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 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.

commit 1cfd8956437f842836e8a066b40d1ec2fc01f13e upstream.

In cm_write(), if the 'buf' is allocated memory but not fully consumed,
it is possible to reallocate the buffer without freeing it by passing
'*ppos' as 0 on a subsequent call.

Add an explicit kfree() before kzalloc() to prevent the possible memory
leak.

commit e483bb9a991bdae29a0caa4b3a6d002c968f94aa upstream.

In cm_write(), buf is always freed when reaching the end of the
function.  If the requested count is less than table.length, the
allocated buffer will be freed but subsequent calls to cm_write() will
still try to access it.

Remove the unconditional kfree(buf) at the end of the function and
set the buf to NULL in the -EINVAL error path to match the rest of
function.

<title>ACPI: thermal: Do not call acpi_thermal_check() directly</title>

commit 81b704d3e4674e09781d331df73d76675d5ad8cb upstream.

Calling acpi_thermal_check() from acpi_thermal_notify() directly
is problematic if _TMP triggers Notify () on the thermal zone for
which it has been evaluated (which happens on some systems), because
it causes a new acpi_thermal_notify() invocation to be queued up
every time and if that takes place too often, an indefinite number of
pending work items may accumulate in kacpi_notify_wq over time.

Besides, it is not really useful to queue up a new invocation of
acpi_thermal_check() if one of them is pending already.

For these reasons, rework acpi_thermal_notify() to queue up a thermal
check instead of calling acpi_thermal_check() directly and only allow
one thermal check to be pending at a time.  Moreover, only allow one
acpi_thermal_check_fn() instance at a time to run
thermal_zone_device_update() for one thermal zone and make it return
early if it sees other instances running for the same thermal zone.

While at it, fold acpi_thermal_check() into acpi_thermal_check_fn(),
as it is only called from there after the other changes made here.

[This issue appears to have been exposed by commit 6d25be5782e4
 ("sched/core, workqueues: Distangle worker accounting from rq
 lock"), but it is unclear why it was not visible earlier.]
