There are many locations that do

  if (memory_was_allocated_by_vmalloc)
    vfree(ptr);
  else
    kfree(ptr);

but kvfree() can handle both kmalloc()ed memory and vmalloc()ed memory
using is_vmalloc_addr().  Unless callers have special reasons, we can
replace this branch with kvfree().  Please check and reply if you found
problems.

<title>acpi/apei: Use appropriate pgprot_t to map GHES memory</title>

<id>8ece249a811e93d3f60e3f1ebdc86c7e7a95bdbf</id>
<content type='text'>
If the ACPI APEI firmware handles hardware error first (called
"firmware first handling"), the firmware updates the GHES memory
region with hardware error record (called "generic hardware
error record"). Essentially the firmware writes hardware error
records in the GHES memory region, triggers an NMI/interrupt,
then the GHES driver goes off and grabs the error record from
the GHES region.

The kernel currently maps the GHES memory region as cacheable
(PAGE_KERNEL) for all architectures. However, on some arm64
platforms, there is a mismatch between how the kernel maps the
GHES region (PAGE_KERNEL) and how the firmware maps it
(EFI_MEMORY_UC, ie. uncacheable), leading to the possibility of
the kernel GHES driver reading stale data from the cache when it
receives the interrupt.

With stale data being read, the kernel is unaware there is new
hardware error to be handled when there actually is; this may
lead to further damage in various scenarios, such as error
propagation caused data corruption. If uncorrected error (such
as double bit ECC error) happened in memory operation and if the
kernel is unaware of such an event happening, errorneous data may
be propagated to the disk.

Instead GHES memory region should be mapped with page protection
type according to what is returned from arch_apei_get_mem_attribute().

Pull power management and ACPI updates from Rafael Wysocki:
 "The rework of backlight interface selection API from Hans de Goede
  stands out from the number of commits and the number of affected
  places perspective.  The cpufreq core fixes from Viresh Kumar are
  quite significant too as far as the number of commits goes and because
  they should reduce CPU online/offline overhead quite a bit in the
  majority of cases.

  From the new featues point of view, the ACPICA update (to upstream
  revision 20150515) adding support for new ACPI 6 material to ACPICA is
  the one that matters the most as some new significant features will be
  based on it going forward.  Also included is an update of the ACPI
  device power management core to follow ACPI 6 (which in turn reflects
  the Windows' device PM implementation), a PM core extension to support
  wakeup interrupts in a more generic way and support for the ACPI _CCA
  device configuration object.

  The rest is mostly fixes and cleanups all over and some documentation
  updates, including new DT bindings for Operating Performance Points.

  There is one fix for a regression introduced in the 4.1 cycle, but it
  adds quite a number of lines of code, it wasn't really ready before
  Thursday and you were on vacation, so I refrained from pushing it on
  the last minute for 4.1.

  Specifics:

   - ACPICA update to upstream revision 20150515 including basic support
     for ACPI 6 features: new ACPI tables introduced by ACPI 6 (STAO,
     XENV, WPBT, NFIT, IORT), changes related to the other tables (DTRM,
     FADT, LPIT, MADT), new predefined names (_BTH, _CR3, _DSD, _LPI,
     _MTL, _PRR, _RDI, _RST, _TFP, _TSN), fixes and cleanups (Bob Moore,
     Lv Zheng).

   - ACPI device power management core code update to follow ACPI 6
     which reflects the ACPI device power management implementation in
     Windows (Rafael J Wysocki).

   - rework of the backlight interface selection logic to reduce the
     number of kernel command line options and improve the handling of
     DMI quirks that may be involved in that and to make the code
     generally more straightforward (Hans de Goede).

   - fixes for the ACPI Embedded Controller (EC) driver related to the
     handling of EC transactions (Lv Zheng).

   - fix for a regression related to the ACPI resources management and
     resulting from a recent change of ACPI initialization code ordering
     (Rafael J Wysocki).

   - fix for a system initialization regression related to ACPI
     introduced during the 3.14 cycle and caused by running the code
     that switches the platform over to the ACPI mode too early in the
     initialization sequence (Rafael J Wysocki).

   - support for the ACPI _CCA device configuration object related to
     DMA cache coherence (Suravee Suthikulpanit).

   - ACPI/APEI fixes and cleanups (Jiri Kosina, Borislav Petkov).

   - ACPI battery driver cleanups (Luis Henriques, Mathias Krause).

   - ACPI processor driver cleanups (Hanjun Guo).

   - cleanups and documentation update related to the ACPI device
     properties interface based on _DSD (Rafael J Wysocki).

   - ACPI device power management fixes (Rafael J Wysocki).

   - assorted cleanups related to ACPI (Dominik Brodowski, Fabian
     Frederick, Lorenzo Pieralisi, Mathias Krause, Rafael J Wysocki).

   - fix for a long-standing issue causing General Protection Faults to
     be generated occasionally on return to user space after resume from
     ACPI-based suspend-to-RAM on 32-bit x86 (Ingo Molnar).

   - fix to make the suspend core code return -EBUSY consistently in all
     cases when system suspend is aborted due to wakeup detection (Ruchi
     Kandoi).

   - support for automated device wakeup IRQ handling allowing drivers
     to make their PM support more starightforward (Tony Lindgren).

   - new tracepoints for suspend-to-idle tracing and rework of the
     prepare/complete callbacks tracing in the PM core (Todd E Brandt,
     Rafael J Wysocki).

   - wakeup sources framework enhancements (Jin Qian).

   - new macro for noirq system PM callbacks (Grygorii Strashko).

   - assorted cleanups related to system suspend (Rafael J Wysocki).

   - cpuidle core cleanups to make the code more efficient (Rafael J
     Wysocki).

   - powernv/pseries cpuidle driver update (Shilpasri G Bhat).

   - cpufreq core fixes related to CPU online/offline that should reduce
     the overhead of these operations quite a bit, unless the CPU in
     question is physically going away (Viresh Kumar, Saravana Kannan).

   - serialization of cpufreq governor callbacks to avoid race
     conditions in some cases (Viresh Kumar).

   - intel_pstate driver fixes and cleanups (Doug Smythies, Prarit
     Bhargava, Joe Konno).

   - cpufreq driver (arm_big_little, cpufreq-dt, qoriq) updates (Sudeep
     Holla, Felipe Balbi, Tang Yuantian).

   - assorted cleanups in cpufreq drivers and core (Shailendra Verma,
     Fabian Frederick, Wang Long).

   - new Device Tree bindings for representing Operating Performance
     Points (Viresh Kumar).

   - updates for the common clock operations support code in the PM core
     (Rajendra Nayak, Geert Uytterhoeven).

   - PM domains core code update (Geert Uytterhoeven).

   - Intel Knights Landing support for the RAPL (Running Average Power
     Limit) power capping driver (Dasaratharaman Chandramouli).

   - fixes related to the floor frequency setting on Atom SoCs in the
     RAPL power capping driver (Ajay Thomas).

   - runtime PM framework documentation update (Ben Dooks).

   - cpupower tool fix (Herton R Krzesinski)"

Nothing in &lt;asm/io.h&gt; uses anything from &lt;linux/vmalloc.h&gt;, so
remove it from there and fix up the resulting build problems
triggered on x86 {64|32}-bit {def|allmod|allno}configs.

The breakages were triggering in places where x86 builds relied
on vmalloc() facilities but did not include &lt;linux/vmalloc.h&gt;
explicitly and relied on the implicit inclusion via &lt;asm/io.h&gt;.

Also add:

  - &lt;linux/init.h&gt; to &lt;linux/io.h&gt;
  - &lt;asm/pgtable_types&gt; to &lt;asm/io.h&gt;

... which were two other implicit header file dependencies.

<title>GHES: Make NMI handler have a single reader</title>

Since GHES sources are global, we theoretically need only a single CPU
reading them per NMI instead of a thundering herd of CPUs waiting on a
spinlock in NMI context for no reason at all.

Do that.

<title>GHES: Elliminate double-loop in the NMI handler</title>

There's no real need to iterate twice over the HW error sources in the
NMI handler. With the previous cleanups, elliminating the second loop is
almost trivial.

The moment we log an error of panic severity, there's no need to noodle
through the ghes_nmi list anymore. So panic instead right then and
there.
