commit 4fc9bbf98fd66f879e628d8537ba7c240be2b58e upstream.

Add a flag to tell the PCI subsystem that kernel is shutting down in
preparation to kexec a kernel.  Add code in PCI subsystem to use this flag
to clear Bus Master bit on PCI devices only in case of kexec reboot.

This fixes a power-off problem on Acer Aspire V5-573G and likely other
machines and avoids any other issues caused by clearing Bus Master bit on
PCI devices in normal shutdown path.  The problem was introduced by
b566a22c2332 ("PCI: disable Bus Master on PCI device shutdown").

This patch is based on discussion at
http://marc.info/?l=linux-pci&amp;m=138425645204355&amp;w=2

<title>PCI: Remove duplicate pci_disable_device() from pcie_portdrv_remove()</title>

commit e7cc5cf74544d97d7b69e2701595037474db1f96 upstream.

The pcie_portdrv .probe() method calls pci_enable_device() once, in
pcie_port_device_register(), but the .remove() method calls
pci_disable_device() twice, in pcie_port_device_remove() and in
pcie_portdrv_remove().

That causes a "disabling already-disabled device" warning when removing a
PCIe port device.  This happens all the time when removing Thunderbolt
devices, but is also easy to reproduce with, e.g.,
"echo 0000:00:1c.3 &gt; /sys/bus/pci/drivers/pcieport/unbind"

This patch removes the disable from pcie_portdrv_remove().

<title>Revert "ACPI / hotplug / PCI: Avoid doing too much for spurious notifies"</title>

Commit 2dc4128 (ACPI / hotplug / PCI: Avoid doing too much for
spurious notifies) changed the enable_slot() to check return value of
pci_scan_slot() and if it is zero return early from the function. It
means that there were no new devices in this particular slot.

However, if a device appeared deeper in the hierarchy the code now
ignores it causing things like Thunderbolt chaining fail to recognize
new devices.

The problem with Alex Williamson's machine was solved with commit
a47d8c8 (ACPI / hotplug / PCI: Avoid parent bus rescans on spurious
device checks) and hence we should be able to restore the original
functionality that we always rescan on bus check notification.

On a device check notification we still check what acpiphp_rescan_slot()
returns and on zero bail out early.

Ben Herrenschmidt found that commit 928bea964827 ("PCI: Delay enabling
bridges until they're needed") breaks PCI in some powerpc environments.

The reason is that the PCIe port driver will call pci_enable_device() on
the bridge, so the device is enabled, but skips pci_set_master because
pcie_port_auto and no acpi on powerpc.

Because of that, pci_enable_bridge() later on (called as a result of the
child device driver doing pci_enable_device) will see the bridge as
already enabled and will not call pci_set_master() on it.

Fixed by add checking in pci_enable_bridge, and call pci_set_master
if driver skip that.

That will make the code more robot and wade off problem for missing
pci_set_master in drivers.

Commit 448bd85 (PCI/PM: add PCIe runtime D3cold support) added a
piece of code to pci_acpi_wake_dev() causing that function to behave
in a special way for devices in D3cold (so that their configuration
registers are not accessed before those devices are resumed).
However, it didn't take the clearing of the pme_poll flag into
account.  That has to be done for all devices, even if they are in
D3cold, or pci_pme_list_scan() will not know that wakeup has been
signaled for the device and will poll its PME Status bit
unnecessarily.

Fix the problem by moving the clearing of the pme_poll flag in
pci_acpi_wake_dev() before the code introduced by commit 448bd85.

<id>02b9735c12892e04d3e101b06e4c6d64a814f566</id>
<content type='text'>
Pull ACPI and power management fixes from Rafael Wysocki:
 "All of these commits are fixes that have emerged recently and some of
  them fix bugs introduced during this merge window.

  Specifics:

   1) ACPI-based PCI hotplug (ACPIPHP) fixes related to spurious events

      After the recent ACPIPHP changes we've seen some interesting
      breakage on a system that triggers device check notifications
      during boot for non-existing devices.  Although those
      notifications are really spurious, we should be able to deal with
      them nevertheless and that shouldn't introduce too much overhead.
      Four commits to make that work properly.

   2) Memory hotplug and hibernation mutual exclusion rework

      This was maent to be a cleanup, but it happens to fix a classical
      ABBA deadlock between system suspend/hibernation and ACPI memory
      hotplug which is possible if they are started roughly at the same
      time.  Three commits rework memory hotplug so that it doesn't
      acquire pm_mutex and make hibernation use device_hotplug_lock
      which prevents it from racing with memory hotplug.

   3) ACPI Intel LPSS (Low-Power Subsystem) driver crash fix

      The ACPI LPSS driver crashes during boot on Apple Macbook Air with
      Haswell that has slightly unusual BIOS configuration in which one
      of the LPSS device's _CRS method doesn't return all of the
      information expected by the driver.  Fix from Mika Westerberg, for
      stable.

   4) ACPICA fix related to Store-&gt;ArgX operation

      AML interpreter fix for obscure breakage that causes AML to be
      executed incorrectly on some machines (observed in practice).
      From Bob Moore.

   5) ACPI core fix for PCI ACPI device objects lookup

      There still are cases in which there is more than one ACPI device
      object matching a given PCI device and we don't choose the one
      that the BIOS expects us to choose, so this makes the lookup take
      more criteria into account in those cases.

   6) Fix to prevent cpuidle from crashing in some rare cases

      If the result of cpuidle_get_driver() is NULL, which can happen on
      some systems, cpuidle_driver_ref() will crash trying to use that
      pointer and the Daniel Fu's fix prevents that from happening.

   7) cpufreq fixes related to CPU hotplug

      Stephen Boyd reported a number of concurrency problems with
      cpufreq related to CPU hotplug which are addressed by a series of
      fixes from Srivatsa S Bhat and Viresh Kumar.

   8) cpufreq fix for time conversion in time_in_state attribute

      Time conversion carried out by cpufreq when user space attempts to
      read /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu*/cpufreq/stats/time_in_state
      won't work correcty if cputime_t doesn't map directly to jiffies.
      Fix from Andreas Schwab.

   9) Revert of a troublesome cpufreq commit

      Commit 7c30ed5 (cpufreq: make sure frequency transitions are
      serialized) was intended to address some known concurrency
      problems in cpufreq related to the ordering of transitions, but
      unfortunately it introduced several problems of its own, so I
      decided to revert it now and address the original problems later
      in a more robust way.

  10) Intel Haswell CPU models for intel_pstate from Nell Hardcastle.

  11) cpufreq fixes related to system suspend/resume

      The recent cpufreq changes that made it preserve CPU sysfs
      attributes over suspend/resume cycles introduced a possible NULL
      pointer dereference that caused it to crash during the second
      attempt to suspend.  Three commits from Srivatsa S Bhat fix that
      problem and a couple of related issues.

  12) cpufreq locking fix

      cpufreq_policy_restore() should acquire the lock for reading, but
      it acquires it for writing.  Fix from Lan Tianyu"

* tag 'pm+acpi-fixes-3.12-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rafael/linux-pm: (25 commits)

Pull ACPI and power management fixes from Rafael Wysocki:
 "All of these commits are fixes that have emerged recently and some of
  them fix bugs introduced during this merge window.

  Specifics:

   1) ACPI-based PCI hotplug (ACPIPHP) fixes related to spurious events

      After the recent ACPIPHP changes we've seen some interesting
      breakage on a system that triggers device check notifications
      during boot for non-existing devices.  Although those
      notifications are really spurious, we should be able to deal with
      them nevertheless and that shouldn't introduce too much overhead.
      Four commits to make that work properly.

   2) Memory hotplug and hibernation mutual exclusion rework

      This was maent to be a cleanup, but it happens to fix a classical
      ABBA deadlock between system suspend/hibernation and ACPI memory
      hotplug which is possible if they are started roughly at the same
      time.  Three commits rework memory hotplug so that it doesn't
      acquire pm_mutex and make hibernation use device_hotplug_lock
      which prevents it from racing with memory hotplug.

   3) ACPI Intel LPSS (Low-Power Subsystem) driver crash fix

      The ACPI LPSS driver crashes during boot on Apple Macbook Air with
      Haswell that has slightly unusual BIOS configuration in which one
      of the LPSS device's _CRS method doesn't return all of the
      information expected by the driver.  Fix from Mika Westerberg, for
      stable.

   4) ACPICA fix related to Store-&gt;ArgX operation

      AML interpreter fix for obscure breakage that causes AML to be
      executed incorrectly on some machines (observed in practice).
      From Bob Moore.

   5) ACPI core fix for PCI ACPI device objects lookup

      There still are cases in which there is more than one ACPI device
      object matching a given PCI device and we don't choose the one
      that the BIOS expects us to choose, so this makes the lookup take
      more criteria into account in those cases.

   6) Fix to prevent cpuidle from crashing in some rare cases

      If the result of cpuidle_get_driver() is NULL, which can happen on
      some systems, cpuidle_driver_ref() will crash trying to use that
      pointer and the Daniel Fu's fix prevents that from happening.

   7) cpufreq fixes related to CPU hotplug

      Stephen Boyd reported a number of concurrency problems with
      cpufreq related to CPU hotplug which are addressed by a series of
      fixes from Srivatsa S Bhat and Viresh Kumar.

   8) cpufreq fix for time conversion in time_in_state attribute

      Time conversion carried out by cpufreq when user space attempts to
      read /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu*/cpufreq/stats/time_in_state
      won't work correcty if cputime_t doesn't map directly to jiffies.
      Fix from Andreas Schwab.

   9) Revert of a troublesome cpufreq commit

      Commit 7c30ed5 (cpufreq: make sure frequency transitions are
      serialized) was intended to address some known concurrency
      problems in cpufreq related to the ordering of transitions, but
      unfortunately it introduced several problems of its own, so I
      decided to revert it now and address the original problems later
      in a more robust way.

  10) Intel Haswell CPU models for intel_pstate from Nell Hardcastle.

  11) cpufreq fixes related to system suspend/resume

      The recent cpufreq changes that made it preserve CPU sysfs
      attributes over suspend/resume cycles introduced a possible NULL
      pointer dereference that caused it to crash during the second
      attempt to suspend.  Three commits from Srivatsa S Bhat fix that
      problem and a couple of related issues.

  12) cpufreq locking fix

      cpufreq_policy_restore() should acquire the lock for reading, but
      it acquires it for writing.  Fix from Lan Tianyu"
