ACPICA commit 90f5332a15e9d9ba83831ca700b2b9f708274658

This patch adds a new FACS initialization flag for acpi_tb_initialize().
acpi_enable_subsystem() might be invoked several times in OS bootup process,
and we don't want FACS initialization to be invoked twice. Lv Zheng.

<title>ACPICA: Utilities: split IO address types from data type models.</title>

<content type='text'>
commit 2b8760100e1de69b6ff004c986328a82947db4ad upstream.

ACPICA commit aacf863cfffd46338e268b7415f7435cae93b451

It is reported that on a physically 64-bit addressed machine, 32-bit kernel
can trigger crashes in accessing the memory regions that are beyond the
32-bit boundary. The region field's start address should still be 32-bit
compliant, but after a calculation (adding some offsets), it may exceed the
32-bit boundary. This case is rare and buggy, but there are real BIOSes
leaked with such issues (see References below).

This patch fixes this gap by always defining IO addresses as 64-bit, and
allows OSPMs to optimize it for a real 32-bit machine to reduce the size of
the internal objects.

Internal acpi_physical_address usages in the structures that can be fixed
by this change include:
 1. struct acpi_object_region:
    acpi_physical_address		address;
 2. struct acpi_address_range:
    acpi_physical_address		start_address;
    acpi_physical_address		end_address;
 3. struct acpi_mem_space_context;
    acpi_physical_address		address;
 4. struct acpi_table_desc
    acpi_physical_address		address;
See known issues 1 for other usages.

Note that acpi_io_address which is used for ACPI_PROCESSOR may also suffer
from same problem, so this patch changes it accordingly.

For iasl, it will enforce acpi_physical_address as 32-bit to generate
32-bit OSPM compatible tables on 32-bit platforms, we need to define
ACPI_32BIT_PHYSICAL_ADDRESS for it in acenv.h.

Known issues:
 1. Cleanup of mapped virtual address
   In struct acpi_mem_space_context, acpi_physical_address is used as a virtual
   address:
    acpi_physical_address                   mapped_physical_address;
   It is better to introduce acpi_virtual_address or use acpi_size instead.
   This patch doesn't make such a change. Because this should be done along
   with a change to acpi_os_map_memory()/acpi_os_unmap_memory().
   There should be no functional problem to leave this unchanged except
   that only this structure is enlarged unexpectedly.

the use of acpi_os_free (kfree is equivalent and prefered in the
kernel) to free the buffer.

This changes can reduce source code differences between Linux and ACPICA
upstream to help improving the release automation.

The side effect of applying this patch in Linux is:
1. Some ACPICA initialization/termination APIs are no longer exported in
   Linux, these include:
    acpi_load_tables
    acpi_initialize_subsystem
    acpi_enable_subsystem
    acpi_initialize_objects
    acpi_terminate
2. This patch does not affect the following APIs as they are currently not
   marked with ACPI_EXPORT_SYMBOL in Linux:
    acpi_reallocate_root_table
    acpi_initialize_tables
Such functions should not be exported as they are internal to ACPI
subsystem in Linux, and will only be invoked inside of ACPI subsystem's
initialization routines marked with __init and termination routines marked
with __exit.  While on other OSPMs, such functions may still need to be
exported.

Thus this patch adds the configurability for ACPICA, so that it leaves
OSPMs to determine if the __init/__exit marked functions should be exported
or not.  Lv Zheng.

now hardcode it and ignore the FADT value. This provides/maintains
compatibility with other ACPI implementations that have allowed
BIOS code with bad register width values to go unnoticed.

In the common case, the ACPI_ALLOCATE and related macros now resolve
directly to their respective acpi_os* OSL interfaces. Two options:
1) The ACPI_ALLOCATE_ZEROED macro defaults to a simple local implementation
   by default, unless overridden by the USE_NATIVE_ALLOCATE_ZEROED define.
2) For ACPI execution simulation environment (AcpiExec) which is not
   shipped with the Linux kernel, the macros can optionally be resolved to
   the local interfaces that track each allocation (used to immediately
   detect memory leaks).
