commit b84106b4e2290c081cdab521fa832596cdfea246 upstream.

The PCI config header (first 64 bytes of each device's config space) is
defined by the PCI spec so generic software can identify the device and
manage its usage of I/O, memory, and IRQ resources.

Some non-spec-compliant devices put registers other than BARs where the
BARs should be.  When the PCI core sizes these "BARs", the reads and writes
it does may have unwanted side effects, and the "BAR" may appear to
describe non-sensical address space.

Add a flag bit to mark non-compliant devices so we don't touch their BARs.
Turn off IO/MEM decoding to prevent the devices from consuming address
space, since we can't read the BARs to find out what that address space
would be.

<title>PCI: Add dev_flags bit to access VPD through function 0</title>

commit 932c435caba8a2ce473a91753bad0173269ef334 upstream.

Add a dev_flags bit, PCI_DEV_FLAGS_VPD_REF_F0, to access VPD through
function 0 to provide VPD access on other functions.  This is for hardware
devices that provide copies of the same VPD capability registers in
multiple functions.  Because the kernel expects that each function has its
own registers, both the locking and the state tracking are affected by VPD
accesses to different functions.

On such devices for example, if a VPD write is performed on function 0,
*any* later attempt to read VPD from any other function of that device will
hang.  This has to do with how the kernel tracks the expected value of the
F bit per function.

Concurrent accesses to different functions of the same device can not only
hang but also corrupt both read and write VPD data.

When hangs occur, typically the error message:

  vpd r/w failed.  This is likely a firmware bug on this device.

will be seen.

Never set this bit on function 0 or there will be an infinite recursion.

<title>PCI: EHCI: fix crash during suspend on ASUS computers</title>

<content type='text'>
commit dbf0e4c7257f8d684ec1a3c919853464293de66e upstream.

Quite a few ASUS computers experience a nasty problem, related to the
EHCI controllers, when going into system suspend.  It was observed
that the problem didn't occur if the controllers were not put into the
D3 power state before starting the suspend, and commit
151b61284776be2d6f02d48c23c3625678960b97 (USB: EHCI: fix crash during
suspend on ASUS computers) was created to do this.

It turned out this approach messed up other computers that didn't have
the problem -- it prevented USB wakeup from working.  Consequently
commit c2fb8a3fa25513de8fedb38509b1f15a5bbee47b (USB: add
NO_D3_DURING_SLEEP flag and revert 151b61284776be2) was merged; it
reverted the earlier commit and added a whitelist of known good board
names.

Now we know the actual cause of the problem.  Thanks to AceLan Kao for
tracking it down.

According to him, an engineer at ASUS explained that some of their
BIOSes contain a bug that was added in an attempt to work around a
problem in early versions of Windows.  When the computer goes into S3
suspend, the BIOS tries to verify that the EHCI controllers were first
quiesced by the OS.  Nothing's wrong with this, but the BIOS does it
by checking that the PCI COMMAND registers contain 0 without checking
the controllers' power state.  If the register isn't 0, the BIOS
assumes the controller needs to be quiesced and tries to do so.  This
involves making various MMIO accesses to the controller, which don't
work very well if the controller is already in D3.  The end result is
a system hang or memory corruption.

Since the value in the PCI COMMAND register doesn't matter once the
controller has been suspended, and since the value will be restored
anyway when the controller is resumed, we can work around the BIOS bug
simply by setting the register to 0 during system suspend.  This patch
(as1590) does so and also reverts the second commit mentioned above,
which is now unnecessary.

In theory we could do this for every PCI device.  However to avoid
introducing new problems, the patch restricts itself to EHCI host
controllers.

Finally the affected systems can suspend with USB wakeup working
properly.

commit c2fb8a3fa25513de8fedb38509b1f15a5bbee47b upstream.

This patch (as1558) fixes a problem affecting several ASUS computers:
The machine crashes or corrupts memory when going into suspend if the
ehci-hcd driver is bound to any controllers.  Users have been forced
to unbind or unload ehci-hcd before putting their systems to sleep.

After extensive testing, it was determined that the machines don't
like going into suspend when any EHCI controllers are in the PCI D3
power state.  Presumably this is a firmware bug, but there's nothing
we can do about it except to avoid putting the controllers in D3
during system sleep.

The patch adds a new flag to indicate whether the problem is present,
and avoids changing the controller's power state if the flag is set.
Runtime suspend is unaffected; this matters only for system suspend.
However as a side effect, the controller will not respond to remote
wakeup requests while the system is asleep.  Hence USB wakeup is not
functional -- but of course, this is already true in the current state
of affairs.

A similar patch has already been applied as commit
151b61284776be2d6f02d48c23c3625678960b97 (USB: EHCI: fix crash during
suspend on ASUS computers).  The patch supersedes that one and reverts
it.  There are two differences:

	The old patch added the flag at the USB level; this patch
	adds it at the PCI level.

	The old patch applied to all chipsets with the same vendor,
	subsystem vendor, and product IDs; this patch makes an
	exception for a known-good system (based on DMI information).

The ats and sroiv members of 'struct pci_dev' are required
for the ATS code already, even without IOV support compiled
in. So depend on ATS here. This is fine with PCI_IOV too
because it selects PCI_ATS. Also the prototypes for ATS
need to be available for PCI_ATS.

The land of PCI power management is a land of sorrow and ugliness,
especially in the area of signaling events by devices.  There are
devices that set their PME Status bits, but don't really bother
to send a PME message or assert PME#.  There are hardware vendors
who don't connect PME# lines to the system core logic (they know
who they are).  There are PCI Express Root Ports that don't bother
to trigger interrupts when they receive PME messages from the devices
below.  There are ACPI BIOSes that forget to provide _PRW methods for
devices capable of signaling wakeup.  Finally, there are BIOSes that
do provide _PRW methods for such devices, but then don't bother to
call Notify() for those devices from the corresponding _Lxx/_Exx
GPE-handling methods.  In all of these cases the kernel doesn't have
a chance to receive a proper notification that it should wake up a
device, so devices stay in low-power states forever.  Worse yet, in
some cases they continuously send PME Messages that are silently
ignored, because the kernel simply doesn't know that it should clear
the device's PME Status bit.

This problem was first observed for "parallel" (non-Express) PCI
devices on add-on cards and Matthew Garrett addressed it by adding
code that polls PME Status bits of such devices, if they are enabled
to signal PME, to the kernel.  Recently, however, it has turned out
that PCI Express devices are also affected by this issue and that it
is not limited to add-on devices, so it seems necessary to extend
the PME polling to all PCI devices, including PCI Express and planar
ones.  Still, it would be wasteful to poll the PME Status bits of
devices that are known to receive proper PME notifications, so make
the kernel (1) poll the PME Status bits of all PCI and PCIe devices
enabled to signal PME and (2) disable the PME Status polling for
devices for which correct PME notifications are received.

The "powernv" platform of the powerpc architecture needs to assign PCI
resources using a specific algorithm to fit some HW constraints of
the IBM "IODA" architecture (related to the ability to create error
handling domains that encompass specific segments of MMIO space).

For doing so, it wants to call pci_setup_bridge() from architecture
specific resource management in order to configure bridges after all
resources have been assigned. So make it non-static.
