[ Upstream commit 574160b8548deff8b80b174f03201e94ab8431e2 ]

Toshiba Satellite Z830 needs the quirk video_disable_backlight_sysfs_if
for proper backlight control after suspend/resume cycles.

Toshiba Portege Z830 is simply the same laptop rebranded for certain
markets (I looked through the manual to other language sections to confirm
this) and thus also needs this quirk.

Thanks to Hans de Goede for suggesting this fix.

<title>ACPI: video: Shortening quirk list by identifying Clevo by board_name only</title>

commit f0341e67b3782603737f7788e71bd3530012a4f4 upstream.

Taking a recent change in the i8042 quirklist to this one: Clevo
board_names are somewhat unique, and if not: The generic Board_-/Sys_Vendor
string "Notebook" doesn't help much anyway. So identifying the devices just
by the board_name helps keeping the list significantly shorter and might
even hit more devices requiring the fix.

commit c752089f7cf5b5800c6ace4cdd1a8351ee78a598 upstream.

The TongFang PF5PU1G, PF4NU1F, PF5NU1G, and PF5LUXG/TUXEDO BA15 Gen10,
Pulse 14/15 Gen1, and Pulse 15 Gen2 have the same problem as the Clevo
NL5xRU and NL5xNU/TUXEDO Aura 15 Gen1 and Gen2:
They have a working native and video interface. However the default
detection mechanism first registers the video interface before
unregistering it again and switching to the native interface during boot.
This results in a dangling SBIOS request for backlight change for some
reason, causing the backlight to switch to ~2% once per boot on the first
power cord connect or disconnect event. Setting the native interface
explicitly circumvents this buggy behaviour by avoiding the unregistering
process.

it may not be present then.

<title>ACPI/APEI: Limit printable size of BERT table data</title>

[ Upstream commit 3f8dec116210ca649163574ed5f8df1e3b837d07 ]

Platforms with large BERT table data can trigger soft lockup errors
while attempting to print the entire BERT table data to the console at
boot:

  watchdog: BUG: soft lockup - CPU#160 stuck for 23s! [swapper/0:1]

Observed on Ampere Altra systems with a single BERT record of ~250KB.

The original bert driver appears to have assumed relatively small table
data. Since it is impractical to reassemble large table data from
interwoven console messages, and the table data is available in

  /sys/firmware/acpi/tables/data/BERT

limit the size for tables printed to the console to 1024 (for no reason
other than it seemed like a good place to kick off the discussion, would
appreciate feedback from existing users in terms of what size would
maintain their current usage model).

Alternatively, we could make printing a CONFIG option, use the
bert_disable boot arg (or something similar), or use a debug log level.
However, all those solutions require extra steps or change the existing
behavior for small table data. Limiting the size preserves existing
behavior on existing platforms with small table data, and eliminates the
soft lockups for platforms with large table data, while still making it
available.

Prevent acpi_ns_walk_namespace() from crashing when called with
start_node equal to ACPI_ROOT_OBJECT if the Namespace has not been

For instance, this can happen if the kernel is run with "acpi=off"
in the command line.

commit c844d22fe0c0b37dc809adbdde6ceb6462c43acf upstream.

Clevo NL5xRU and NL5xNU/TUXEDO Aura 15 Gen1 and Gen2 have both a working
native and video interface. However the default detection mechanism first
registers the video interface before unregistering it again and switching
to the native interface during boot. This results in a dangling SBIOS
request for backlight change for some reason, causing the backlight to
switch to ~2% once per boot on the first power cord connect or disconnect
event. Setting the native interface explicitly circumvents this buggy
behaviour by avoiding the unregistering process.

commit 7dacee0b9efc8bd061f097b1a8d4daa6591af0c6 upstream.

For some reason, the Microsoft Surface Go 3 uses the standard ACPI
interface for battery information, but does not use the standard PNP0C0A
HID. Instead it uses MSHW0146 as identifier. Add that ID to the driver
as this seems to work well.

Additionally, the power state is not updated immediately after the AC
has been (un-)plugged, so add the respective quirk for that.

[ 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 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.

[ Upstream commit 1cdfe9e346b4c5509ffe19ccde880fd259d9f7a3 ]

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.
