The problem is that the work is scheduled on the current CPU from the
hotplug thread associated with that CPU.

It's not required to invoke these functions via the workqueue because the
hotplug thread runs on the target CPU already.

Check whether current is a per cpu thread pinned on the target CPU and
invoke the function directly to avoid the workqueue.

<title>ACPI/processor: Replace racy task affinity logic</title>

acpi_processor_get_throttling() requires to invoke the getter function on
the target CPU. This is achieved by temporarily setting the affinity of the
calling user space thread to the requested CPU and reset it to the original
affinity afterwards.

That's racy vs. CPU hotplug and concurrent affinity settings for that
thread resulting in code executing on the wrong CPU and overwriting the
new affinity setting.

acpi_processor_get_throttling() is invoked in two ways:

1) The CPU online callback, which is already running on the target CPU and
   obviously protected against hotplug and not affected by affinity
   settings.

2) The ACPI driver probe function, which is not protected against hotplug
   during modprobe.

Switch it over to work_on_cpu() and protect the probe function against CPU
hotplug.

<title>ACPI / processor: Avoid reserving IO regions too early</title>

Roland Dreier reports that one of his systems cannot boot because of
the changes made by commit ac212b6980d8 (ACPI / processor: Use common
hotplug infrastructure).

The problematic part of it is the request_region() call in
acpi_processor_get_info() that used to run at module init time before
the above commit and now it runs much earlier.  Unfortunately, the
region(s) reserved by it fall into a range the PCI subsystem attempts
to reserve for AHCI IO BARs.  As a result, the PCI reservation fails
and AHCI doesn't work, while previously the PCI reservation would
be made before acpi_processor_get_info() and it would succeed.

That request_region() call, however, was overlooked by commit
ac212b6980d8, as it is not necessary for the enumeration of the
processors.  It only is needed when the ACPI processor driver
actually attempts to handle them which doesn't happen before
loading the ACPI processor driver module.  Therefore that call
should have been moved from acpi_processor_get_info() into that
module.

Address the problem by moving the request_region() call in question
out of acpi_processor_get_info() and use the observation that the
region reserved by it is only needed if the FADT-based CPU
throttling method is going to be used, which means that it should
be sufficient to invoke it from acpi_processor_get_throttling_fadt().

<title>ACPI / processor: Rework processor throttling with work_on_cpu()</title>

acpi_processor_set_throttling() uses set_cpus_allowed_ptr() to make
sure that the (struct acpi_processor)-&gt;acpi_processor_set_throttling()
callback will run on the right CPU.  However, the function may be
called from a worker thread already bound to a different CPU in which
case that won't work.

Make acpi_processor_set_throttling() use work_on_cpu() as appropriate
instead of abusing set_cpus_allowed_ptr().

<title>ACPI: Clean up inclusions of ACPI header files</title>

<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.

<title>ACPI throttling: fix endian bug in acpi_read_throttling_status()</title>

Using a u64 here creates an endian bug.  We store a u32 number in the
top byte which is a larger number than intended on big endian systems.
There is no reason to use a 64 bit data type here, I guess it was just
an oversight.

I removed the initialization to zero as well.  It's needed with a u64
but with a u32, the variable gets initialized properly inside the call
to acpi_os_read_port().
