ACPICA commit 55526e8a6133cbf5a9cc0fb75a95dbbac6eb98e6

PCC Opregion added in ACPIC 6.3 requires special context data similar
to GPIO and Generic Serial Bus as it needs to know the internal PCC
buffer and its length as well as the PCC channel index when the opregion
handler is being executed by the OSPM.

Lets add support for the special context data needed by PCC Opregion.

ACPICA commit 52abebd410945ec55afb4dd8b7150e8a39b5c960

This macro was only ever used when stuffing pointers into physical
addresses and trying to later reconstruct the pointer, which is
implementation-defined as to whether that can be done. Now that all such
operations are gone, the macro is unused, and should be removed to avoid
such practices being reintroduced.

ACPICA commit d9eb82bd7515989f0b29d79deeeb758db4d6529c

Currently the pointer to the table is cast to acpi_physical_address and
later cast back to a pointer to be dereferenced. Whether or not this is
supported is implementation-defined.

On CHERI, and thus Arm's experimental Morello prototype architecture,
pointers are represented as capabilities, which are unforgeable bounded
pointers, providing always-on fine-grained spatial memory safety. This
means that any pointer cast to a plain integer will lose all its
associated metadata, and when cast back to a pointer it will give a
null-derived pointer (one that has the same metadata as null but an
address equal to the integer) that will trap on any dereference. As a
result, this is an implementation where acpi_physical_address cannot be
used as a hack to store real pointers.

Thus, add a new field to struct acpi_object_region to store the pointer for
table regions, and propagate it to acpi_ex_data_table_space_handler via the
region context, to use a more portable implementation that supports
CHERI.

ACPICA commit bc02c76d518135531483dfc276ed28b7ee632ce1

The current ACPI_ACCESS_*_WIDTH defines do not provide a way to
test that size is small enough to not cause an overflow when
applied to a 32-bit integer.

Rather than adding more magic numbers, add ACPI_ACCESS_*_SHIFT,
ACPI_ACCESS_*_MAX, and ACPI_ACCESS_*_DEFAULT #defines and
redefine ACPI_ACCESS_*_WIDTH in terms of the new #defines.

This was inititally reported on Linux where a size of 102 in
ACPI_ACCESS_BIT_WIDTH caused an overflow error in the SPCR
initialization code.

ACPICA commit 4b9135f5774caa796ddf826448811e8e7f08ef2f

GCC 7.1 gained -Wimplicit-fallthrough to warn on implicit fallthrough,
as well as __attribute__((__fallthrough__)) and comments to explicitly
denote that cases of fallthrough were intentional. Clang also supports
this warning and statement attribute, but not the comment form.

Robert Moore provides additional context about the lint comments being
removed. They were for "an old version of PC-Lint, which we don't use
anymore." Drop those.

This will help us enable -Wimplicit-fallthrough throughout the Linux
kernel.

<title>ACPICA: Replace one-element array with flexible-array</title>

<content type='text'>
ACPICA commit 7ba2f3d91a32f104765961fda0ed78b884ae193d

The current codebase makes use of one-element arrays in the following
form:

struct something {
    int length;
    u8 data[1];
};

struct something *instance;

instance = kmalloc(sizeof(*instance) + size, GFP_KERNEL);
instance-&gt;length = size;
memcpy(instance-&gt;data, source, size);

but the preferred mechanism to declare variable-length types such as
these ones is a flexible array member[1][2], introduced in C99:

struct foo {
        int stuff;
        struct boo array[];
};

By making use of the mechanism above, we will get a compiler warning
in case the flexible array does not occur last in the structure,
which will help us prevent some kind of undefined behavior bugs from
being inadvertently introduced[3] to the linux codebase from now on.

This issue was found with the help of Coccinelle and audited _manually_.

ACPICA commit 7ba2f3d91a32f104765961fda0ed78b884ae193d

The current codebase makes use of one-element arrays in the following
form:

struct something {
    int length;
    u8 data[1];
};

struct something *instance;

instance = kmalloc(sizeof(*instance) + size, GFP_KERNEL);
instance-&gt;length = size;
memcpy(instance-&gt;data, source, size);

but the preferred mechanism to declare variable-length types such as
these ones is a flexible array member[1][2], introduced in C99:

struct foo {
        int stuff;
        struct boo array[];
};

By making use of the mechanism above, we will get a compiler warning
in case the flexible array does not occur last in the structure,
which will help us prevent some kind of undefined behavior bugs from
being inadvertently introduced[3] to the linux codebase from now on.

This issue was found with the help of Coccinelle and audited _manually_.
