commit 27663c5855b10af9ec67bc7dfba001426ba21222 upstream

As of version 2.0, ACPI can return 64-bit integers.  The current
acpi_evaluate_integer only supports 64-bit integers on 64-bit platforms.
Change the argument to take a pointer to an acpi_integer so we support
64-bit integers on all platforms.

lenb: replaced use of "acpi_integer" with "unsigned long long"
lenb: fixed bug in acpi_thermal_trips_update()

<id>65c011845316d3c1381f478ca0d8265c43b3b039</id>
<content type='text'>
  * This patch replaces the dangerous lvalue version of cpumask_of_cpu
    with new cpumask_of_cpu_ptr macros.  These are patterned after the
    node_to_cpumask_ptr macros.

    In general terms, if there is a cpumask_of_cpu_map[] then a pointer to
    the cpumask_of_cpu_map[cpu] entry is used.  The cpumask_of_cpu_map
    is provided when there is a large NR_CPUS count, reducing
    greatly the amount of code generated and stack space used for
    cpumask_of_cpu().  The pointer to the cpumask_t value is needed for
    calling set_cpus_allowed_ptr() to reduce the amount of stack space
    needed to pass the cpumask_t value.

    If there isn't a cpumask_of_cpu_map[], then a temporary variable is
    declared and filled in with value from cpumask_of_cpu(cpu) as well as
    a pointer variable pointing to this temporary variable.  Afterwards,
    the pointer is used to reference the cpumask value.  The compiler
    will optimize out the extra dereference through the pointer as well
    as the stack space used for the pointer, resulting in identical code.

    A good example of the orthogonal usages is in net/sunrpc/svc.c:

	case SVC_POOL_PERCPU:
	{
		unsigned int cpu = m-&gt;pool_to[pidx];
		cpumask_of_cpu_ptr(cpumask, cpu);

		*oldmask = current-&gt;cpus_allowed;
		set_cpus_allowed_ptr(current, cpumask);
		return 1;
	}
	case SVC_POOL_PERNODE:
	{
		unsigned int node = m-&gt;pool_to[pidx];
		node_to_cpumask_ptr(nodecpumask, node);

		*oldmask = current-&gt;cpus_allowed;
		set_cpus_allowed_ptr(current, nodecpumask);
		return 1;
	}

<title>ACPI: fix processor throttling set error</title>

When echo some invalid values to /proc/acpi/processor/*/throttling,
there isn't any error info returned, on the contray, it sets
throttling value to some T* successfully, obviously, this is incorrect,
a correct way should be to let it fail and return error info.

This patch fixed the aforementioned issue, it also enables
/proc/acpi/processor/*/throttling to accept such values as 't0' and 'T0',
it also strictly limits /proc/acpi/processor/*/throttling only to accept
 "*", "t*" and "T*", "*" is the throttling state value the processor can
support, current, it is 0 - 7.

Before applying this patch, the test result is below:

When echo some invalid values to /proc/acpi/processor/*/throttling,
there isn't any error info returned, on the contray, it sets
throttling value to some T* successfully, obviously, this is incorrect,
a correct way should be to let it fail and return error info.

This patch fixed the aforementioned issue, it also enables
/proc/acpi/processor/*/throttling to accept such values as 't0' and 'T0',
it also strictly limits /proc/acpi/processor/*/throttling only to accept
 "*", "t*" and "T*", "*" is the throttling state value the processor can
support, current, it is 0 - 7.

Use proc_create()/proc_create_data() to make sure that -&gt;proc_fops and -&gt;data
be setup before gluing PDE to main tree.

Add correct -&gt;owner to proc_fops to fix reading/module unloading race.

  * Use new set_cpus_allowed_ptr() function added by previous patch,
    which instead of passing the "newly allowed cpus" cpumask_t arg
    by value,  pass it by pointer:

    -int set_cpus_allowed(struct task_struct *p, cpumask_t new_mask)
    +int set_cpus_allowed_ptr(struct task_struct *p, const cpumask_t *new_mask)

  * Modify CPU_MASK_ALL

Depends on:
	[sched-devel]: sched: add new set_cpus_allowed_ptr function
