commit 1c184baccf0d5e2ef4cc1562261d0e48508a1c2b upstream.

Read/write callbacks registered with nvmem core expect 0 to be returned
on success and a negative value to be returned on failure.

cmos_nvram_read()/cmos_nvram_write() currently return the number of
bytes read or written, fix to return 0 on success and -EIO incase number
of bytes requested was not read or written.

<title>rtc: cmos: take rtc_lock while reading from CMOS</title>

commit 454f47ff464325223129b9b5b8d0b61946ec704d upstream.

Reading from the CMOS involves writing to the index register and then
reading from the data register. Therefore access to the CMOS has to be
serialized with rtc_lock. This invocation of CMOS_READ was not
serialized, which could cause trouble when other code is accessing CMOS
at the same time.

Use spin_lock_irq() like the rest of the function.

Nothing in kernel modifies the RTC_DM_BINARY bit, so there could be a
separate pair of spin_lock_irq() / spin_unlock_irq() before doing the
math.

<title>rtc: cmos: Stop using shared IRQ</title>

commit b6da197a2e9670df6f07e6698629e9ce95ab614e upstream.

As reported by Guilherme G. Piccoli:

---8&lt;---8&lt;---8&lt;---

The rtc-cmos interrupt setting was changed in the commit 079062b28fb4
("rtc: cmos: prevent kernel warning on IRQ flags mismatch") in order
to allow shared interrupts; according to that commit's description,
some machine got kernel warnings due to the interrupt line being shared
between rtc-cmos and other hardware, and rtc-cmos didn't allow IRQ sharing
that time.

After the aforementioned commit though it was observed a huge increase
in lost HPET interrupts in some systems, observed through the following
kernel message:

[...] hpet1: lost 35 rtc interrupts

After investigation, it was narrowed down to the shared interrupts
usage when having the kernel option "irqpoll" enabled. In this case,
all IRQ handlers are called for non-timer interrupts, if such handlers
are setup in shared IRQ lines. The rtc-cmos IRQ handler could be set to
hpet_rtc_interrupt(), which will produce the kernel "lost interrupts"
message after doing work - lots of readl/writel to HPET registers, which
are known to be slow.

Although "irqpoll" is not a default kernel option, it's used in some contexts,
one being the kdump kernel (which is an already "impaired" kernel usually
running with 1 CPU available), so the performance burden could be considerable.
Also, the same issue would happen (in a shorter extent though) when using
"irqfixup" kernel option.

In a quick experiment, a virtual machine with uptime of 2 minutes produced
&gt;300 calls to hpet_rtc_interrupt() when "irqpoll" was set, whereas without
sharing interrupts this number reduced to 1 interrupt. Machines with more
hardware than a VM should generate even more unnecessary HPET interrupts
in this scenario.

---8&lt;---8&lt;---8&lt;---

After looking into the rtc-cmos driver history and DSDT table from
the Microsoft Surface 3, we may notice that Hans de Goede submitted
a correct fix (see dependency below). Thus, we simply revert
the culprit commit.

Fixes: 079062b28fb4 ("rtc: cmos: prevent kernel warning on IRQ flags mismatch")
Depends-on: a1e23a42f1bd ("rtc: cmos: Do not assume irq 8 for rtc when there are no legacy irqs")

<title>rtc: cmos: Do not export alarm rtc_ops when we do not support alarms</title>

When there is no IRQ configured for the RTC, the rtc-cmos code does not
support alarms, all alarm rtc_ops fail with -EIO / -EINVAL.

The rtc-core expects a rtc driver which does not support rtc alarms to
not have alarm ops at all. Otherwise the wakealarm sysfs attr will read
as empty rather then returning an error, making it impossible for
userspace to find out beforehand if alarms are supported.

A system without an IRQ for the RTC before this patch:
[root@localhost ~]# cat /sys/class/rtc/rtc0/wakealarm
[root@localhost ~]#

After this patch:
[root@localhost ~]# cat /sys/class/rtc/rtc0/wakealarm
cat: /sys/class/rtc/rtc0/wakealarm: No such file or directory
[root@localhost ~]#

This fixes gnome-session + systemd trying to use suspend-then-hibernate,
which causes systemd to abort the suspend when writing the RTC alarm fails.

Fix a commit 311ee9c151ad ("rtc: cmos: allow using ACPI for RTC alarm
instead of HPET") `rtc-cmos' regression causing a link error:

drivers/rtc/rtc-cmos.o: In function `cmos_platform_probe':
rtc-cmos.c:(.init.text+0x33c): undefined reference to `hpet_rtc_interrupt'
rtc-cmos.c:(.init.text+0x3f4): undefined reference to `hpet_rtc_interrupt'

with non-ACPI platforms using this driver.  The cause is the change of
the condition guarding the use of `hpet_rtc_interrupt'.

Previously it was a call to `is_hpet_enabled'.  That function is static
inline and has a hardcoded 0 result for non-ACPI platforms, which imply
!HPET_EMULATE_RTC.  Consequently the compiler optimized the whole block
away including the reference to `hpet_rtc_interrupt', which never made
it to the link stage.

Now the guarding condition is a call to `use_hpet_alarm', which is not
static inline and therefore the compiler may not be able to prove that
it actually always returns 0 for non-ACPI platforms.  Consequently the
build breaks with an unsatisfied reference, because `hpet_rtc_interrupt'
is nowhere defined at link time.

Fix the problem by marking `use_hpet_alarm' inline.  As the `inline'
keyword serves as an optimization hint rather than a requirement the
compiler is still free to choose whether inlining will be beneficial or
not for ACPI platforms.

Use ACPI for RTC Alarm only for Intel platforms
1. with Low Power S0 support
2. with HPET RTC emulation enabled
3. no earlier than 2015

Note that, during the test, it is found that this patch
1. works in 4.15-rc kernel
2. hangs the platform after suspend-to-idle for 2 or 3 times, in 4.15.0
3. works again in 4.16-rc3 kernel.
4. works in the latest 4.15.12 stable kernel.

Thus although this patch breaks 4.15.0 kernel for some unknown reason,
still, it is safe for both upstream and backport.

Previously, the RTC alarm is acknowledged either by the cmos rtc irq
handler, or by the hpet rtc irq handler.

When using ACPI RTC Fixed event as the RTC alarm, the RTC alarm is
acknowledged by the ACPI RTC event handler, as addressed in the previous
patch.
But, when resume from suspend-to-ram (ACPI S3), the ACPI SCI is cleared
right after resume, thus the ACPI RTC event handler is not invoked at all,
results in the RTC Alarm unacknowledged.

Handle this by comparing the current time and the RTC Alarm time in the
rtc_cmos driver .resume() callback
1. Assume the wakeup event has already been fired if the RTC Alarm time
   is earlier than/equal to the current time, and ACK the RTC Alarm.
2. Assume the wakeup event has not been fired if the RTC Alarm time
   is later than current time, and re-arm it if needed.

<title>rtc: cmos: allow using ACPI for RTC alarm instead of HPET</title>

It's found that the HPET timer prevents the platform from entering
Low Power S0 on some new Intel platforms.

This means that
1. users can still use RTC wake Alarm for suspend-to-idle, but the system
   never enters Low Power S0, which is a waste of power.
or
2. if users want to put the system into Low Power S0, they can not use
   RTC as the wakeup source.

To fix this, we need to stop using the HPET timer for wake alarm.
But disabling CONFIG_HPET_EMULATE_RTC is not an option because HPET
emulates PIT at the same time, and this is needed on some of these
platforms.

Thus, introduce a new mode (use_acpi_alarm) to the rtc_cmos driver,
so that, even with CONFIG_HPET_EMULATE_RTC enabled, it's still possible to
use ACPI SCI for RTC Alarm, including UIE/AIE/wkalrm, instead of HPET.

Only necessary changes are made for the new "use_acpi_alarm" mode, including
1. drop all the calls to HPET emulation code, including the HPET irq
   handler for rtc interrupt.
2. enabling/disabling ACPI RTC Fixed event upon RTC UIE/AIE request.
3. acknowledge the RTC Alarm in ACPI RTC Fixed event handler.

There is no functional change made in this patch if the new mode is not
enabled.

Note: this "use_acpi_alarm" mode is made based on the assumption that
ACPI RTC Fixed event is reliable both at runtime and during system wakeup.
And this has been verified on a couple of platforms I have, including
a MS Surface Pro 4 (SKL), a Lenovo Yoga 900 (SKL), and a HP 9360 (KBL).
