Pull libnvdimm updates from Dan Williams:
"The bulk of this update was stabilized before the merge window and
appeared in -next. The "device dax" implementation was revised this
week in response to review feedback, and to address failures detected
by the recently expanded ndctl unit test suite.
Not included in this pull request are two dax topic branches (dax
error handling, and dax radix-tree locking). These topics were
deferred to get a few more days of -next integration testing, and to
coordinate a branch baseline with Ted and the ext4 tree. Vishal and
Ross will send the error handling and locking topics respectively in
the next few days.
This branch has received a positive build result from the kbuild robot
across 226 configs.
Summary:
- Device DAX for persistent memory: Device DAX is the device-centric
analogue of Filesystem DAX (CONFIG_FS_DAX). It allows memory
ranges to be allocated and mapped without need of an intervening
file system. Device DAX is strict, precise and predictable.
Specifically this interface:
a) Guarantees fault granularity with respect to a given page size
(pte, pmd, or pud) set at configuration time.
b) Enforces deterministic behavior by being strict about what
fault scenarios are supported.
Persistent memory is the first target, but the mechanism is also
targeted for exclusive allocations of performance/feature
differentiated memory ranges.
- Support for the HPE DSM (device specific method) command formats.
This enables management of these first generation devices until a
unified DSM specification materializes.
- Further ACPI 6.1 compliance with support for the common dimm
identifier format.
- Various fixes and cleanups across the subsystem"

The ACPI specification states that arguments "Revision ID" and "Function Index" to a _DSM are type "Integer." Type Integers are 64 bit quantities. The function evaluate_dsm specifies these types as simple "int" which are 32 bits. Widen type passed to acpi_evaluate_dsm and its callers and derived callers to pass correct type. acpi_check_dsm and acpi_evaluate_dsm_typed had similar issue and were corrected as well. This is in preparation for libnvdimm implementing a generic _DSM passthrough facility to have the capacity to pass 64-bit values as the ACPI specification allows.

acpi_dev_present() was originally named after pci_dev_present() to signify the similarity of the two functions. However Rafael J. Wysocki pointed out that the exported function acpi_dev_present() is easily confused with the non-exported acpi_device_is_present(). Additionally in ACPI parlance the term "present" usually refers to the "device is present" bit returned by the _STA control method, yet acpi_dev_present() merely checks presence in the namespace. It does not invoke _STA at all, let alone check the "device is present" bit. As suggested by Rafael, rename the function to acpi_dev_found() and adjust all existing call sites.

obj->buffer.pointer[i] should be cast to u64 to prevent an unintentional sign extension. For example, if pointer[7] is 0x80, then the value 0xffffffffff000000 is or'd into mask rather than the intended value 0xff00000000000000 Detected with static analysis by CoverityScan Signed-off-by: Colin Ian King <colin.king@canonical.com> Signed-off-by: Rafael J.

There's an idiom in use by 7 Linux drivers to detect the presence of a particular ACPI HID by walking the namespace with acpi_get_devices(). The callback passed to acpi_get_devices() is mostly identical across the drivers, leading to lots of duplicate code. Add acpi_dev_present(), the ACPI equivalent to pci_dev_present(), allowing us to deduplicate all that boilerplate in the drivers.

This is a preparation patch for the backlight interface selection logic cleanup, there are 2 reasons to not always build the video_detect code into the kernel: 1) In order for the video_detect.c to also deal with / select native backlight interfaces on win8 systems, instead of doing this in video.c where it does not belong, video_detect.c needs to call into the backlight class code. Which cannot be done if it is builtin and the blacklight class is not. 2) Currently all the platform/x86 drivers which have quirks to prefer the vendor driver over acpi-video call acpi_video_unregister_backlight() to remove the acpi-video backlight interface, this logic really belongs in video_detect.c, which will cause video_detect.c to depend on symbols of video.c and video.c already depends on video_detect.c symbols, so they really need to be a single module. Note that this commits make 2 changes so as to maintain 100% kernel commandline compatibility: 1) The __setup call for the acpi_backlight= handling is moved to acpi/util.c as __setup may only be used by code which is alwasy builtin 2) video.c is renamed to acpi_video.c so that it can be combined with video_detect.c into video.ko This commit also makes changes to drivers/platform/x86/Kconfig to ensure that drivers which use acpi_video_backlight_support() from video_detect.c, will not be built-in when acpi_video is not built in. This also changes some "select" uses to "depends on" to avoid dependency loops.

* acpi-scan: ACPI / scan: Change the level of _DEP-related messages to KERN_DEBUG * acpi-utils: ACPI / utils: Drop error messages from acpi_evaluate_reference() * acpi-pm: ACPI / PM: Do not disable wakeup GPEs that have not been enabled
Some of the error messages printed by acpi_evaluate_reference() with the KERN_ERR priority should really be debug messages, but then they would be redundant, because acpi_util_eval_error() is called too at the same spots (except for one). Drop the kernel messages from there entirely and leave the acpi_util_eval_error() to handle the debug printing. In one case, replace the kernel message with a call to acpi_util_eval_error().
