Pull ACPI video support fixes from Rafael Wysocki:
 "I'm sending a separate pull request for this as it may be somewhat
  controversial.  The breakage addressed here is not really new and the
  fixes may not satisfy all users of the affected systems, but we've had
  so much back and forth dance in this area over the last several weeks
  that I think it's time to actually make some progress.

  The source of the problem is that about a year ago we started to tell
  BIOSes that we're compatible with Windows 8, which we really need to
  do, because some systems shipping with Windows 8 are tested with it
  and nothing else, so if we tell their BIOSes that we aren't compatible
  with Windows 8, we expose our users to untested BIOS/AML code paths.

  However, as it turns out, some Windows 8-specific AML code paths are
  not tested either, because Windows 8 actually doesn't use the ACPI
  methods containing them, so if we declare Windows 8 compatibility and
  attempt to use those ACPI methods, things break.  That occurs mostly
  in the backlight support area where in particular the _BCM and _BQC
  methods are plain unusable on some systems if the OS declares Windows
  8 compatibility.

  [ The additional twist is that they actually become usable if the OS
    says it is not compatible with Windows 8, but that may cause
    problems to show up elsewhere ]

  Investigation carried out by Matthew Garrett indicates that what
  Windows 8 does about backlight is to leave backlight control up to
  individual graphics drivers.  At least there's evidence that it does
  that if the Intel graphics driver is used, so we've decided to follow
  Windows 8 in that respect and allow i915 to control backlight (Daniel
  likes that part).

  The first commit from Aaron Lu makes ACPICA export the variable from
  which we can infer whether or not the BIOS believes that we are
  compatible with Windows 8.

  The second commit from Matthew Garrett prepares the ACPI video driver
  by making it initialize the ACPI backlight even if it is not going to
  be used afterward (that is needed for backlight control to work on
  Thinkpads).

  The third commit implements the actual workaround making i915 take
  over backlight control if the firmware thinks it's dealing with
  Windows 8 and is based on the work of multiple developers, including
  Matthew Garrett, Chun-Yi Lee, Seth Forshee, and Aaron Lu.

  The final commit from Aaron Lu makes us follow Windows 8 by informing
  the firmware through the _DOS method that it should not carry out
  automatic brightness changes, so that brightness can be controlled by
  GUI.

  Hopefully, this approach will allow us to avoid using blacklists of
  systems that should not declare Windows 8 compatibility just to avoid
  backlight control problems in the future.

   - Change from Aaron Lu makes ACPICA export a variable which can be
     used by driver code to determine whether or not the BIOS believes
     that we are compatible with Windows 8.

   - Change from Matthew Garrett makes the ACPI video driver initialize
     the ACPI backlight even if it is not going to be used afterward
     (that is needed for backlight control to work on Thinkpads).

   - Fix from Rafael J Wysocki implements Windows 8 backlight support
     workaround making i915 take over bakclight control if the firmware
     thinks it's dealing with Windows 8.  Based on the work of multiple
     developers including Matthew Garrett, Chun-Yi Lee, Seth Forshee,
     and Aaron Lu.

   - Fix from Aaron Lu makes the kernel follow Windows 8 by informing
     the firmware through the _DOS method that it should not carry out
     automatic brightness changes, so that brightness can be controlled
     by GUI"

Pull power management and ACPI fixes from Rafael Wysocki:
"These are fixes collected over the last week, most importnatly two
cpufreq reverts fixing regressions introduced in 3.10, an autoseelp
fix preventing systems using it from crashing during shutdown and two
ACPI scan fixes related to hotplug.

Specifics:

- Two cpufreq commits from the 3.10 cycle introduced regressions.
The first of them was buggy (it did way much more than it needed to
do) and the second one attempted to fix an issue introduced by the
first one. Fixes from Srivatsa S Bhat revert both.

- If autosleep triggers during system shutdown and the shutdown
callbacks of some device drivers have been called already, it may
crash the system. Fix from Liu Shuo prevents that from happening
by making try_to_suspend() check system_state.

- The ACPI memory hotplug driver doesn't clear its driver_data on
errors which may cause a NULL poiter dereference to happen later.
Fix from Toshi Kani.

- The ACPI namespace scanning code should not try to attach scan
handlers to device objects that have them already, which may
confuse things quite a bit, and it should rescan the whole
namespace branch starting at the given node after receiving a bus
check notify event even if the device at that particular node has
been discovered already. Fixes from Rafael J Wysocki.

- New ACPI video blacklist entry for a system whose initial backlight
setting from the BIOS doesn't make sense. From Lan Tianyu.

- Garbage string output avoindance for ACPI PNP from Liu Shuo.

- Two Kconfig fixes for issues introduced recently in the s3c24xx
cpufreq driver (when moving the driver to drivers/cpufreq) from
Paul Bolle.

- Trivial comment fix in pm_wakeup.h from Chanwoo Choi"

ACPI / video: ignore BIOS initial backlight value for Fujitsu E753

2013-07-18T19:43:41+00:00

The BIOS of FUjitsu E753 reports an incorrect initial backlight value
for WIN8 compatible OS, causing backlight to be dark during startup.
This change causes the incorrect initial value from BIOS to be ignored.

ACPI / video: no automatic brightness changes by win8-compatible firmware

2013-07-18T00:08:16+00:00

Starting from win8, MS backlight control driver will set bit 2 of the
parameter of control method _DOS, to inform firmware it should not
perform any automatic brightness changes. This mostly affects hotkey
notification deliver - if we do not set this bit, on hotkey press,
firmware may choose to adjust brightness level instead of sending out
notification and doing nothing.

So this patch sets bit 2 when calling _DOS so that GUIs can show the
notification window on hotkey press.  This behavior change is only
necessary for win8 systems.

ACPI / video / i915: No ACPI backlight if firmware expects Windows 8

2013-07-18T00:08:06+00:00

According to Matthew Garrett, "Windows 8 leaves backlight control up
to individual graphics drivers rather than making ACPI calls itself.
There's plenty of evidence to suggest that the Intel driver for
Windows [8] doesn't use the ACPI interface, including the fact that
it's broken on a bunch of machines when the OS claims to support
Windows 8.  The simplest thing to do appears to be to disable the
ACPI backlight interface on these systems".

There's a problem with that approach, however, because simply
avoiding to register the ACPI backlight interface if the firmware
calls _OSI for Windows 8 may not work in the following situations:
 (1) The ACPI backlight interface actually works on the given system
     and the i915 driver is not loaded (e.g. another graphics driver
     is used).
 (2) The ACPI backlight interface doesn't work on the given system,
     but there is a vendor platform driver that will register its
     own, equally broken, backlight interface if not prevented from
     doing so by the ACPI subsystem.
Therefore we need to allow the ACPI backlight interface to be
registered until the i915 driver is loaded which then will unregister
it if the firmware has called _OSI for Windows 8 (or will register
the ACPI video driver without backlight support if not already
present).

For this reason, introduce an alternative function for registering
ACPI video, acpi_video_register_with_quirks(), that will check
whether or not the ACPI video driver has already been registered
and whether or not the backlight Windows 8 quirk has to be applied.
If the quirk has to be applied, it will block the ACPI backlight
support and either unregister the backlight interface if the ACPI
video driver has already been registered, or register the ACPI
video driver without the backlight interface otherwise.  Make
the i915 driver use acpi_video_register_with_quirks() instead of
acpi_video_register() in i915_driver_load().

This change is based on earlier patches from Matthew Garrett,
Chun-Yi Lee and Seth Forshee and includes a fix from Aaron Lu's.

ACPI / video: Always call acpi_video_init_brightness() on init

2013-07-17T23:31:47+00:00

We have to call acpi_video_init_brightness() even if we're not going
to initialise the backlight - Thinkpads seem to use this as the
trigger for enabling ACPI notifications rather than handling it in
firmware.

Expose acpi_gbl_osi_data so that code outside of ACPICA can check
the value of the last successfull _OSI call.  The definitions for
OSI versions are moved to actypes.h so that other components can
access them too.

Based on a patch from Matthew Garrett which in turn was based on
an earlier patch from Seth Forshee.

acpi: delete __cpuinit usage from all acpi files

2013-07-14T23:36:58+00:00

The __cpuinit type of throwaway sections might have made sense
some time ago when RAM was more constrained, but now the savings
do not offset the cost and complications.  For example, the fix in
commit 5e427ec2d0 ("x86: Fix bit corruption at CPU resume time")
is a good example of the nasty type of bugs that can be created
with improper use of the various __init prefixes.

After a discussion on LKML[1] it was decided that cpuinit should go
the way of devinit and be phased out.  Once all the users are gone,
we can then finally remove the macros themselves from linux/init.h.

This removes all the drivers/acpi uses of the __cpuinit macros
from all C files.

ACPI / memhotplug: Fix a stale pointer in error path

2013-07-14T23:26:18+00:00

device->driver_data needs to be cleared when releasing its data,
mem_device, in an error path of acpi_memory_device_add().

The function evaluates the _CRS of memory device objects, and fails
when it gets an unexpected resource or cannot allocate memory.  A
kernel crash or data corruption may occur when the kernel accesses
the stale pointer.

ACPI / scan: Always call acpi_bus_scan() for bus check notifications

2013-07-14T23:26:18+00:00

An ACPI_NOTIFY_BUS_CHECK notification means that we should scan the
entire namespace starting from the given handle even if the device
represented by that handle is present (other devices below it may
just have appeared).

For this reason, modify acpi_scan_bus_device_check() to always run
acpi_bus_scan() if the notification being handled is of type
ACPI_NOTIFY_BUS_CHECK.
