<id>8b48463f89429af408ff695244dc627e1acff4f7</id>
<content type='text'>
Replace direct inclusions of &lt;acpi/acpi.h&gt;, &lt;acpi/acpi_bus.h&gt; and
&lt;acpi/acpi_drivers.h&gt;, which are incorrect, with &lt;linux/acpi.h&gt;
inclusions and remove some inclusions of those files that aren't
necessary.

First of all, &lt;acpi/acpi.h&gt;, &lt;acpi/acpi_bus.h&gt; and &lt;acpi/acpi_drivers.h&gt;
should not be included directly from any files that are built for
CONFIG_ACPI unset, because that generally leads to build warnings about
undefined symbols in !CONFIG_ACPI builds.  For CONFIG_ACPI set,
&lt;linux/acpi.h&gt; includes those files and for CONFIG_ACPI unset it
provides stub ACPI symbols to be used in that case.

Second, there are ordering dependencies between those files that always
have to be met.  Namely, it is required that &lt;acpi/acpi_bus.h&gt; be included
prior to &lt;acpi/acpi_drivers.h&gt; so that the acpi_pci_root declarations the
latter depends on are always there.  And &lt;acpi/acpi.h&gt; which provides
basic ACPICA type declarations should always be included prior to any other
ACPI headers in CONFIG_ACPI builds.  That also is taken care of including
&lt;linux/acpi.h&gt; as appropriate.

Pull module update from Rusty Russell:
 "The sweeping change is to make add_taint() explicitly indicate whether
  to disable lockdep, but it's a mechanical change."

* tag 'modules-next-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rusty/linux:
  MODSIGN: Add option to not sign modules during modules_install
  MODSIGN: Add -s &lt;signature&gt; option to sign-file
  MODSIGN: Specify the hash algorithm on sign-file command line
  MODSIGN: Simplify Makefile with a Kconfig helper
  module: clean up load_module a little more.
  modpost: Ignore ARC specific non-alloc sections
  module: constify within_module_*
  taint: add explicit flag to show whether lock dep is still OK.
  module: printk message when module signature fail taints kernel.

With /sys/kernel/debug/acpi/custom_method root can write
to arbitrary memory and increase his priveleges, even if
these are restricted.

-&gt; Make this an own debug .config option and warn about the
security issue in the config description.

-&gt; Still keep acpi/debugfs.c which now only creates an empty
   /sys/kernel/debug/acpi directory. There might be other
   users of it later.
