ACPICA commit 189429fb7d06cdb89043ae32d615faf553467f1d

This patch follows new ACPICA design, eliminates old portable OSLs, and
implements fopen/fread/fwrite/fclose/fseek/ftell for GNU EFI
environment. This patch also eliminates acpi_log_error(), convering them
into fprintf(stderr)/perror(). Lv Zheng.

ACPICA commit d261d40ea168f8e4c4e3986de720b8651c4aba1c

This patch adds sprintf()/snprintf()/vsnprintf()/printf()/vfprintf()
support for OSPMs that have ACPI_USE_SYSTEM_CLIBRARY defined but do not
have ACPI_USE_STANDARD_HEADERS defined.

-iwithprefix include is required to include &lt;stdarg.h&gt; which contains
compiler specific implementation of vargs when -nostdinc is specified.
-fno-builtin is required for GCC to avoid optimization performed printf().
This optimization cannot be automatically disabled by specifying -nostdlib.
Please refer to the first link below for the details. However, the build
option changes do not affect Linux kernel builds and are not included.

ACPICA commit 9bb265c2afb9910e46f820d6759648580edabd09

When /Za is specified, headers of some Windows SDKs contain bugs breaking
VC builds, and MSVC9's default SDK is one of such header-buggy library.

In order to solve this issue, many VC developers stop using /Za. However
we've been asked to have this fixed without removing /Za.

In MSVC9 default SDK, this issue can be fixed by restricting &lt;sys/stat.h&gt;
to be the last standard file included by every source file in the projects.
This patch thus moves &lt;sys/stat.h&gt; inclusion to "acapps.h", so that this
issue can be fixed by ensuring that "acapps.h" is always the last standard
file included by all of the ACPICA source files. This is in fact also a
useful cleanup because applications can only include one header (e.x.,
acpidump.h) instead of including acapps.h separately. Lv Zheng.

Except some harmless header inclusion re-ordering, Linux kernel is not
affected by this change.

ACPICA commit 7f9b359b7c78c69b07f62eb2d58f710c351fd75d

EFI header should use standard C library stuffs (integer types and IO
handles) rather than implementing such standard stuffs.
This patch fixes this issue by:
1. Implementing standard integer types for ACPI_USE_STANDARD_HADERS=n;
2. Defining EFI types using standard integer types and standard IO handles;
3. Tuning header inclusion order and environment definition order;
4. Removing wrong standard header inclusion from ACPICA core files;
5. Moving several application headers from acpidump.h to acenv.h.
This patch corrects some of them. Lv Zheng.

Except some harmless header inclusion re-ordering, Linux kernel is not
affected by this change.

ACPICA commit 408198c8c9786f9f104ee925020c3ab1701906e4

The acpi_gbl_debug_timeout which is used by acpiexec -et option now is only
implemented in oswinxf.c and used for WIN32 builds. This makes it very
difficult to remember that we need to add this variable to other os
specific layer files in order for linking. This patch makes it a global
option dependent on ACPI_APPLICATION so that it can always be linked by the
applications. Lv Zheng.

Pull ACPI updates from Rafael Wysocki:
 "The new feaures here are the support for ACPI overlays (allowing ACPI
  tables to be loaded at any time from EFI variables or via configfs)
  and the LPI (Low-Power Idle) support.  Also notable is the ACPI-based
  NUMA support for ARM64.

  Apart from that we have two new drivers, for the DPTF (Dynamic Power
  and Thermal Framework) power participant device and for the Intel
  Broxton WhiskeyCove PMIC, some more PMIC-related changes, support for
  the Boot Error Record Table (BERT) in APEI and support for
  platform-initiated graceful shutdown.

  Plus two new pieces of documentation and usual assorted fixes and
  cleanups in quite a few places.

  Specifics:

   - Support for ACPI SSDT overlays allowing Secondary System
     Description Tables (SSDTs) to be loaded at any time from EFI
     variables or via configfs (Octavian Purdila, Mika Westerberg).

   - Support for the ACPI LPI (Low-Power Idle) feature introduced in
     ACPI 6.0 and allowing processor idle states to be represented in
     ACPI tables in a hierarchical way (with the help of Processor
     Container objects) and support for ACPI idle states management on
     ARM64, based on LPI (Sudeep Holla).

   - General improvements of ACPI support for NUMA and ARM64 support for
     ACPI-based NUMA (Hanjun Guo, David Daney, Robert Richter).

   - General improvements of the ACPI table upgrade mechanism and ARM64
     support for that feature (Aleksey Makarov, Jon Masters).

   - Support for the Boot Error Record Table (BERT) in APEI and
     improvements of kernel messages printed by the error injection code
     (Huang Ying, Borislav Petkov).

   - New driver for the Intel Broxton WhiskeyCove PMIC operation region
     and support for the REGS operation region on Broxton, PMIC code
     cleanups (Bin Gao, Felipe Balbi, Paul Gortmaker).

   - New driver for the power participant device which is part of the
     Dynamic Power and Thermal Framework (DPTF) and DPTF-related code
     reorganization (Srinivas Pandruvada).

   - Support for the platform-initiated graceful shutdown feature
     introduced in ACPI 6.1 (Prashanth Prakash).

   - ACPI button driver update related to lid input events generated
     automatically on initialization and system resume that have been
     problematic for some time (Lv Zheng).

   - ACPI EC driver cleanups (Lv Zheng).

   - Documentation of the ACPICA release automation process and the
     in-kernel ACPI AML debugger (Lv Zheng).

   - New blacklist entry and two fixes for the ACPI backlight driver
     (Alex Hung, Arvind Yadav, Ralf Gerbig).

   - Cleanups of the ACPI pci_slot driver (Joe Perches, Paul Gortmaker).

   - ACPI CPPC code changes to make it more robust against possible
     defects in ACPI tables and new symbol definitions for PCC (Hoan
     Tran).

   - System reboot code modification to execute the ACPI _PTS (Prepare
     To Sleep) method in addition to _TTS (Ocean He).

   - ACPICA-related change to carry out lock ordering checks in ACPICA
     if ACPICA debug is enabled in the kernel (Lv Zheng).

   - Assorted minor fixes and cleanups (Andy Shevchenko, Baoquan He,
     Bhaktipriya Shridhar, Paul Gortmaker, Rafael Wysocki)"

Pull ACPI updates from Rafael Wysocki:
 "The new feaures here are the support for ACPI overlays (allowing ACPI
  tables to be loaded at any time from EFI variables or via configfs)
  and the LPI (Low-Power Idle) support.  Also notable is the ACPI-based
  NUMA support for ARM64.

  Apart from that we have two new drivers, for the DPTF (Dynamic Power
  and Thermal Framework) power participant device and for the Intel
