commit 4985c32ee4241d1aba1beeac72294faa46aaff10 upstream.

According commit d640113fe (ACPI: processor: fix acpi_get_cpuid for UP
processor),  BIOS may not provide _MAT or MADT tables and acpi_get_apicid()
always returns -1. For these cases, original code will pass apic_id with
vaule of -1 to acpi_map_cpuid() and it will check the acpi_id. If acpi_id
is equal to zero, ignores apic_id and return zero for CPU0.

Commit b981513 (ACPI / scan: bail out early if failed to parse APIC
ID for CPU) changed the behavior. Return ENODEV when find apic_id is
less than zero after calling acpi_get_apicid(). This causes acpi-cpufreq
driver fails to be loaded on some machines. This patch is to fix it.

commit 61db45ca21630f5ab7f678d54c5d969c21647854 upstream.

The original code was lost accidently, it was not generated along with the
following commit of mechanism improvements and thus not get merged:

  Commit: d5a36100f62fa6db5541344e08b361b34e9114c5
  Subject: ACPICA: Add mechanism for early object repairs on a per-name basis

  Adds the framework to allow object repairs very early in the
  return object analysis. Enables repairs like string-&gt;unicode,
  etc.

This patch restores the implementation of the NULL element repair code for
ACPI_RTYPE_NONE.  In the original design, ACPI_RTYPE_NONE is defined to
collect simple NULL object repairs.

commit 0bf6368ee8f25826d0645c0f7a4f17c8845356a4 upstream.

Commit 1696d9d (ACPI: Remove the old /proc/acpi/event interface)
removed ACPI Button event which originally was sent to userspace via
/proc/acpi/event. This caused ACPI shutdown regression on gentoo
in VirtualBox. Now ACPI events are sent to userspace via netlink,
so add ACPI Button event back via netlink routine.

<title>ACPI / sleep: Add extra checks for HW Reduced ACPI mode sleep states</title>
<updated>2014-03-13T21:11:39+00:00</updated>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.toradex.cn/cgit/linux-toradex.git/commit/?id=a4e90bed511220ff601d064c9e5d583e91308f65'/>
<id>a4e90bed511220ff601d064c9e5d583e91308f65</id>
<content type='text'>
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.

<id>ad332c8a45330d170bb38b95209de449b31cd1b4</id>
<content type='text'>
A number of Samsung notebooks (530Uxx/535Uxx/540Uxx/550Pxx/900Xxx/etc)
continue to log events during sleep (lid open/close, AC plug/unplug,
battery level change), which accumulate in the EC until a buffer fills.
After the buffer is full (tests suggest it holds 8 events), GPEs stop
being triggered for new events. This state persists on wake or even on
power cycle, and prevents new events from being registered until the EC
is manually polled.

This is the root cause of a number of bugs, including AC not being
detected properly, lid close not triggering suspend, and low ambient
light not triggering the keyboard backlight. The bug also seemed to be
responsible for performance issues on at least one user's machine.

Juan Manuel Cabo found the cause of bug and the workaround of polling
the EC manually on wake.

The loop which clears the stale events is based on an earlier patch by
Lan Tianyu (see referenced attachment).

This patch:
 - Adds a function acpi_ec_clear() which polls the EC for stale _Q
   events at most ACPI_EC_CLEAR_MAX (currently 100) times. A warning is
   logged if this limit is reached.
 - Adds a flag EC_FLAGS_CLEAR_ON_RESUME which is set to 1 if the DMI
   system vendor is Samsung. This check could be replaced by several
   more specific DMI vendor/product pairs, but it's likely that the bug
   affects more Samsung products than just the five series mentioned
   above. Further, it should not be harmful to run acpi_ec_clear() on
   systems without the bug; it will return immediately after finding no
   data waiting.
 - Runs acpi_ec_clear() on initialisation (boot), from acpi_ec_add()
 - Runs acpi_ec_clear() on wake, from acpi_ec_unblock_transactions()

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.

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().
