[ Upstream commit d48b8c58c57f6edbe2965f0a5f62c5cf9593ca96 ]

pkt_xfer should be used for protocol v3, and cmd_xfer otherwise. We had
one instance of these functions correct, but not the second, fall-back
case. We use the fall-back only when the first command returns an
IN_PROGRESS status, which is only used on some EC firmwares where we
don't want to constantly poll the bus, but instead back off and
sleep/retry for a little while.

broke one request, changed it back to the original value.

Tested on a Dell E6540, backlight came back.

commit 9862b43624a5450a097cc4122732857b869dbbca upstream.

There is no longer a need for the buffer to be defined in
first 4GB physical address space.

Furthermore there may be race conditions with multiple different functions
working on a module wide buffer causing incorrect results.

<title>Revert "apple-gmux: lock iGP IO to protect from vgaarb changes"</title>

<id>c71989fe3730b07ddb65841f4d4166db4c83f060</id>
<content type='text'>
commit d6fa7588fd7a8def4c747c0c574ce85d453e3788 upstream.

Commit 4eebd5a4e726 ("apple-gmux: lock iGP IO to protect from vgaarb
changes") amended this driver's -&gt;probe hook to lock decoding of normal
(non-legacy) I/O space accesses to the integrated GPU on dual-GPU
MacBook Pros.  The lock stays in place until the driver is unbound.

The change was made to work around an issue with the out-of-tree nvidia
graphics driver (available at http://www.nvidia.com/object/unix.html).
It contains the following sequence in nvidia/nv.c:

	#if defined(CONFIG_VGA_ARB) &amp;&amp; !defined(NVCPU_PPC64LE)
	#if defined(VGA_DEFAULT_DEVICE)
	    vga_tryget(VGA_DEFAULT_DEVICE, VGA_RSRC_LEGACY_MASK);
	#endif
	    vga_set_legacy_decoding(dev, VGA_RSRC_NONE);
	#endif

This code was reported to cause deadlocks with VFIO already in 2013:
https://devtalk.nvidia.com/default/topic/545560

I've reported the issue to Nvidia developers once more in 2017:
https://www.spinics.net/lists/dri-devel/msg138754.html

On the MacBookPro10,1, this code apparently breaks backlight control
(which is handled by apple-gmux via an I/O region starting at 0x700),
as reported by Petri Hodju:
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=86121

I tried to replicate Petri's observations on my MacBook9,1, which uses
the same Intel Ivy Bridge + Nvidia GeForce GT 650M architecture, to no
avail.  On my machine apple-gmux' I/O region remains accessible even
with the nvidia driver loaded and commit 4eebd5a4e726 reverted.
Petri reported that apple-gmux becomes accessible again after a
suspend/resume cycle because the BIOS changed the VGA routing on the
root port to the Nvidia GPU.  Perhaps this is a BIOS issue after all
that can be fixed with an update?

In any case, the change made by commit 4eebd5a4e726 has turned out to
cause two new issues:

* Wilfried Klaebe reports a deadlock when launching Xorg because it
  opens /dev/vga_arbiter and calls vga_get(), but apple-gmux is holding
  a lock on I/O space indefinitely.  It looks like apple-gmux' current
  behavior is an abuse of the vgaarb API as locks are not meant to be
  held for longer periods:
  https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=88861#c11
  https://bugzilla.kernel.org/attachment.cgi?id=217541

* On dual GPU MacBook Pros introduced since 2013, the integrated GPU is
  powergated on boot und thus becomes invisible to Linux unless a custom
  EFI protocol is used to leave it powered on.  (A patch exists but is
  not in mainline yet due to several negative side effects.)  On these
  machines, locking I/O to the integrated GPU (as done by 4eebd5a4e726)
  fails and backlight control is therefore broken:
  https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=105051

So let's revert commit 4eebd5a4e726 please.  Users experiencing the
issue with the proprietary nvidia driver can comment out the above-
quoted problematic code as a workaround (or try updating the BIOS).

<title>platform/x86: wmi: Call acpi_wmi_init() later</title>

Calling acpi_wmi_init() at the subsys_initcall() level causes ordering
issues to appear on some systems and they are difficult to reproduce,
because there is no guaranteed ordering between subsys_initcall()
calls, so they may occur in different orders on different systems.

In particular, commit 86d9f48534e8 (mm/slab: fix kmemcg cache
creation delayed issue) exposed one of these issues where genl_init()
and acpi_wmi_init() are both called at the same initcall level, but
the former must run before the latter so as to avoid a NULL pointer
dereference.

For this reason, move the acpi_wmi_init() invocation to the
initcall_sync level which should still be early enough for things
to work correctly in the WMI land.

This allocation won't fail in the current kernel because it's small but
not checking for kmalloc() failures introduces static checker warnings
so let's fix it.

Sending the switch state change twice within the same frame is invalid
evdev protocol and only works if the client handles keys immediately as
well. Processing events immediately is incorrect, it forces a fake
order of events that does not exist on the device.

Recent versions of libinput changed to only process the device state and
SYN_REPORT time, so now the key event is lost.

This machine reports number of keyboard backlight led levels, instead of
value of the last led level index. Therefore max_brightness properly needs
to be subtracted by 1 to match led max_brightness API.
