commit 806487a8fc8f385af75ed261e9ab658fc845e633 upstream.

Although ghes_proc() tests for errors while reading the error status,
it always return success (0). Fix this by propagating the return
value.

commit c09f12186d6b03b798832d95289af76495990192 upstream.

Commit 209851649dc4 "acpi: nfit: Add support for hot-add" added
support for _FIT notifications, but it neglected to verify the
notification event code matches the one in the ACPI spec for
"NFIT Update". Currently there is only one code in the spec, but
once additional codes are added, older kernels (without this fix)
will misbehave by assuming all event notifications are for an
NFIT Update.

<title>ACPI / SRAT: fix SRAT parsing order with both LAPIC and X2APIC present</title>

<content type='text'>
commit 702b07fcc9b264c9afd372676bbdd50a762dcde0 upstream.

SRAT maps APIC ID to proximity domains ids (PXM). Mapping from PXM to
NUMA node ids is based on order of entries in SRAT table.
SRAT table has just LAPIC entires or mix of LAPIC and X2APIC entries.
As long as there are only LAPIC entires, mapping from proximity domain
id to NUMA node id is as assumed by BIOS. However, once APIC entries are
mixed, X2APIC entries would be first mapped which causes unexpected NUMA
node mapping.

To fix that, change parsing to check each entry against both LAPIC and
X2APIC so mapping is in the SRAT/PXM order.

This is supplemental change to the fix made by commit d81056b5278
(Handle apic/x2apic entries in MADT in correct order) and using the
mechanism introduced by 9b3fedd (ACPI / tables: Add acpi_subtable_proc
to ACPI table parsers).

commit f18ebc211e259d4f591e39e74b2aa2de226c9a1d upstream.

The problem with ornamental, do-nothing gotos is that they lead to
"forgot to set the error code" bugs.  We should be returning -EINVAL
here but we don't.  It leads to an uninitalized variable in
counter_show():

    drivers/acpi/sysfs.c:603 counter_show()
    error: uninitialized symbol 'status'.

commit 5331d9cab32ef640b4cd38a43b0858874fbb7168 upstream.

Commit e647b532275b ("ACPI: Add early device probing infrastructure")
introduced code that allows inserting driver specific
struct acpi_probe_entry probe entries into ACPI linker sections
(one per-subsystem, eg irqchip, clocksource) that are then walked
to retrieve the data and function hooks required to probe the
respective kernel components.

Probing for all entries in a section is triggered through
the __acpi_probe_device_table() function, that in turn, according
to the table ID a given probe entry reports parses the table
with the function retrieved from the respective section structures
(ie struct acpi_probe_entry). Owing to the current ACPI table
parsing implementation, the __acpi_probe_device_table() function
has to share global variables with the acpi_match_madt() function, so
in order to guarantee mutual exclusion locking is required
between the two functions.

Current kernel code implements the locking through the acpi_probe_lock
spinlock; this has the side effect of requiring all code called
within the lock (ie struct acpi_probe_entry.probe_{table/subtbl} hooks)
not to sleep.

However, kernel subsystems that make use of the early probing
infrastructure are relying on kernel APIs that may sleep (eg
irq_domain_alloc_fwnode(), among others) in the function calls
pointed at by struct acpi_probe_entry.{probe_table/subtbl} entries
(eg gic_v2_acpi_init()), which is a bug.

Since __acpi_probe_device_table() is called from context
that is allowed to sleep the acpi_probe_lock spinlock can be replaced
with a mutex; this fixes the issue whilst still guaranteeing
mutual exclusion.

commit 2324d15447a9db168b1f85e3feac635b1ff8edb8 upstream.

When CPPC fails to request a PCC channel, the CPC data is freed
and cpc_desc_ptr points to the invalid data.

Avoid this issue by moving the cpc_desc_ptr assignment after the PCC

commit 68202c9f0ad6e16ee806fbadbc5838d55fe5aa5c upstream.

The "NVDIMM Block Window Driver Writer's Guide":

    http://pmem.io/documents/NVDIMM_DriverWritersGuide-July-2016.pdf

...defines the layout of the block window status register.  For the July
2016 version of the spec linked to above, this happens in Figure 4 on
page 26.

The only bits defined in this spec are bits 31, 5, 4, 2, 1 and 0.  The
rest of the bits in the status register are reserved, and there is a
warning following the diagram that says:

    Note: The driver cannot assume the value of the RESERVED bits in the
    status register are zero. These reserved bits need to be masked off, and
    the driver must avoid checking the state of those bits.

This change ensures that for hardware implementations that set these
reserved bits in the status register, the driver won't incorrectly fail the
block I/Os.

<title>ACPI / EC: Work around method reentrancy limit in ACPICA for _Qxx</title>

commit e1191bd4f62d9086a1a47adc286e7fcffc1fa55c upstream.

A regression is caused by the following commit:

  Commit: 02b771b64b73226052d6e731a0987db3b47281e9
  Subject: ACPI / EC: Fix an issue caused by the serialized _Qxx evaluations

In this commit, using system workqueue causes that the maximum parallel
executions of _Qxx can exceed 255. This violates the method reentrancy
limit in ACPICA and generates the following error log:

  ACPI Error: Method reached maximum reentrancy limit (255) (20150818/dsmethod-341)

This patch creates a seperate workqueue and limits the number of parallel
_Qxx evaluations down to a configurable value (can be tuned against number
of online CPUs).

Since EC events are handled after driver probe, we can create the workqueue
in acpi_ec_init().
