commit 75646e758a0ecbed5024454507d5be5b9ea9dcbf upstream.

Some machines (eg. Lenovo Z480) ECs are not stable during boot up
and causes battery driver fails to be loaded due to failure of getting
battery information from EC sometimes. After several retries, the
operation will work. This patch is to retry to get battery information 5
times if the first try fails.

[ backport to 3.14.5: removed second parameter in acpi_battery_update(),
introduced by the commit 9e50bc14a7f58b5d8a55973b2d69355852ae2dae (ACPI /
battery: Accelerate battery resume callback)]

commit 867f9d463b82462793ea4610e748be0b04b37fc7 upstream.

The recently merged change (in v3.14-rc6) to ACPI resource detection
(below) causes all zero length ACPI resources to be elided from the
table:

  commit b355cee88e3b1a193f0e9a81db810f6f83ad728b
  Author: Zhang Rui &lt;rui.zhang@intel.com&gt;
  Date:   Thu Feb 27 11:37:15 2014 +0800

    ACPI / resources: ignore invalid ACPI device resources

This change has caused a regression in (at least) serial port detection
for a number of machines (see LP#1313981 [1]).  These seem to represent
their IO regions (presumably incorrectly) as a zero length region.
Reverting the above commit restores these serial devices.

Only elide zero length resources which lie at address 0.

commit f6e6e1b9fee88c90586787b71dc49bb3ce62bb89 upstream.

Without this this EEE PC exports a non working WMI interface, with this it
exports a working "good old" eeepc_laptop interface, fixing brightness control
not working as well as rfkill being stuck in a permanent wireless blocked
state.

This is not an ideal way to fix this, but various attempts to fix this
otherwise have failed, see:

<title>ACPI / sleep: Add extra checks for HW Reduced ACPI mode sleep states</title>

<id>d4be842bb4b516bcc3a8e84dab18121b376a6eb7</id>
<content type='text'>
commit a4e90bed511220ff601d064c9e5d583e91308f65 upstream.

If the HW Reduced ACPI mode bit is set in the FADT, ACPICA uses
the optional sleep control and sleep status registers for making
the system enter sleep states (including S5), so it is not possible
to use system sleep states or power it off using ACPI if the HW
Reduced ACPI mode bit is set and those registers are not available.

For this reason, add a new function, acpi_sleep_state_supported(),
checking if the HW Reduced ACPI mode bit is set and whether or not
system sleep states are usable in that case in addition to checking
the return value of acpi_get_sleep_type_data() and make the ACPI
sleep setup routines use that function to check the availability of
system sleep states.

Among other things, this prevents the kernel from attempting to
use ACPI for powering off HW Reduced ACPI systems without the sleep
control and sleep status registers, because ACPI power off doesn't
have a chance to work on them.  That allows alternative power off
mechanisms that may actually work to be used on those systems.  The
affected machines include Dell Venue 8 Pro, Asus T100TA, Haswell
Desktop SDP and Ivy Bridge EP Demo depot.

commit b355cee88e3b1a193f0e9a81db810f6f83ad728b upstream.

ACPI table may export resource entry with 0 length.
But the current code interprets this kind of resource in a wrong way.
It will create a resource structure with
res-&gt;end = acpi_resource-&gt;start + acpi_resource-&gt;len - 1;

This patch fixes a problem on my machine that a platform device fails
to be created because one of its ACPI IO resource entry (start = 0,
end = 0, length = 0) is translated into a generic resource with
start = 0, end = 0xffffffff.

commit f3ca4164529b875374c410193bbbac0ee960895f upstream.

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().

commit bd8ba20597f0cfef3ef65c3fd2aa92ab23d4c8e1 upstream.

Some devices have duplicate entries in there brightness levels table, ie
on my Dell Latitude E6430 the table looks like this:

[    3.686273] acpi backlight index   8, val 6
[    3.686332] acpi backlight index   9, val 7
[    3.686356] acpi backlight index  10, val 8
[    3.686380] acpi backlight index  11, val 9
etc.

Notice that brightness values 0-5 are all mapped to 5. This means that
if userspace writes any value between 0 and 5 to the brightness sysfs attribute
and then reads it, it will always return 0, which is somewhat unexpected.

This is a problem for ie gnome-settings-daemon, which uses read-modify-write
logic when the users presses the brightness up or down keys. This is done
this way to take brightness changes from other sources into account.

On this specific laptop what happens once the brightness has been set to 0,
is that gsd reads 0, adds 5, writes 5, and on the next brightness up key press
again reads 0, so things get stuck at the lowest brightness setting.

Filtering out the duplicate table entries, makes any write to brightness
read back as the written value as one would expect, fixing this.

commit bd8ba20597f0cfef3ef65c3fd2aa92ab23d4c8e1 upstream.

Some devices have duplicate entries in there brightness levels table, ie
on my Dell Latitude E6430 the table looks like this:

[    3.686060] acpi backlight index   0, val 80
[    3.686095] acpi backlight index   1, val 50
[    3.686122] acpi backlight index   2, val 5
[    3.686147] acpi backlight index   3, val 5
[    3.686172] acpi backlight index   4, val 5
[    3.686197] acpi backlight index   5, val 5
[    3.686223] acpi backlight index   6, val 5
[    3.686248] acpi backlight index   7, val 5
[    3.686273] acpi backlight index   8, val 6
[    3.686332] acpi backlight index   9, val 7
[    3.686356] acpi backlight index  10, val 8
[    3.686380] acpi backlight index  11, val 9
etc.

commit b685f3b1744061aa9ad822548ba9c674de5be7c6 upstream.

acpi_pci_link_allocate_irq() can return negative gsi even if
entry != NULL.  For that case we have a memory leak, so free
entry before returning from acpi_pci_irq_enable() for gsi &lt; 0.
