commit 98529b9272e06a7767034fb8a32e43cdecda240a upstream.

Commit 2a5708409e4e (ACPI / EC: Fix a gap that ECDT EC cannot handle
EC events) introduced acpi_ec_ecdt_start(), but that function is
invoked before acpi_ec_query_init(), which is too early.  This causes
the kernel to crash if an EC event occurs after boot, when ec_query_wq
is not valid:

 BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000102
 ...
 Workqueue: events acpi_ec_event_handler
 task: ffff9f539790dac0 task.stack: ffffb437c0e10000
 RIP: 0010:__queue_work+0x32/0x430

Normally, the DSDT EC should always be valid, so acpi_ec_ecdt_start()
is actually a no-op in the majority of cases.  However, commit
c712bb58d827 (ACPI / EC: Add support to skip boot stage DSDT probe)
caused the probing of the DSDT EC as the "boot EC" to be skipped when
the ECDT EC is valid and uncovered the bug.

Fix this issue by invoking acpi_ec_ecdt_start() after acpi_ec_query_init()
in acpi_ec_init().

commit 7d64f82cceb21e6d95db312d284f5f195e120154 upstream.

When removing a GHES device notified by SCI, list_del_rcu() is used,
ghes_remove() should call synchronize_rcu() before it goes on to call
kfree(ghes), otherwise concurrent RCU readers may still hold this list
entry after it has been freed.

commit e3d5092b6756b9e0b08f94bbeafcc7afe19f0996 upstream.

The on-stack resource-window 'win' in setup_res() is not
properly initialized. This causes the pointers in the
embedded 'struct resource' to contain stale addresses.

These pointers (in my case the -&gt;child pointer) later get
propagated to the global iomem_resources list, causing a #GP
exception when the list is traversed in
iomem_map_sanity_check().

<title>ACPI / scan: Prefer devices without _HID/_CID for _ADR matching</title>

[ Upstream commit c2a6bbaf0c5f90463a7011a295bbdb7e33c80b51 ]

The way acpi_find_child_device() works currently is that, if there
are two (or more) devices with the same _ADR value in the same
namespace scope (which is not specifically allowed by the spec and
the OS behavior in that case is not defined), the first one of them
found to be present (with the help of _STA) will be returned.

This covers the majority of cases, but is not sufficient if some of
the devices in question have a _HID (or _CID) returning some valid
ACPI/PNP device IDs (which is disallowed by the spec) and the
ASL writers' expectation appears to be that the OS will match
devices without a valid ACPI/PNP device ID against a given bus
address first.

To cover this special case as well, modify find_child_checks()
to prefer devices without ACPI/PNP device IDs over devices that
have them.

commit 7e700d2c59e5853c9126642976b4f5768f64c9b3 upstream.

nfit_init() calls nfit_mce_register() on module load.  When the module
load fails the nfit mce decoder is not unregistered.  The module's
memory is freed leaving the decoder chain referencing junk.  This will
cause panics as future registrations will reference the free'd memory.

Unregister the nfit mce decoder on module init failure.

[v2]: register and then unregister mce handler to avoid losing mce events
[v3]: also cleanup nfit workqueue

commit 9c40f956ce9b331493347d1b3cb7e384f7dc0581 upstream.

On Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon - the 5th Generation, enabling an earlier
EC event freezing timing causes acpitz-virtual-0 to report a stuck
48C temparature.  And with EC firmware revisioned as 1.14, without
reverting back to old EC event freezing timing, the fan still blows
up after a system resume.

This reverts the culprit change so that the regression can be fixed
without upgrading the EC firmware.

commit 662591461c4b9a1e3b9b159dbf37648a585ebaae upstream.

According to bug reports, although the busy polling mode can make
noirq stages execute faster, it causes abnormal fan blowing up after
system resume (see the first link below for a video demonstration)
on Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon - the 5th Generation.  The problem can
be fixed by upgrading the EC firmware on that machine.

However, many reporters confirm that the problem can be fixed by
stopping busy polling during suspend/resume and for some of them
upgrading the EC firmware is not an option.

For this reason, drop the noirq stage hooks from the EC driver
to fix the regression.

commit 878d8db039daac0938238e9a40a5bd6e50ee3c9b upstream.

Revert commit 77e9a4aa9de1 (ACPI / button: Change default behavior to
lid_init_state=open) which changed the kernel's behavior on laptops
that boot with closed lids and expect the lid switch state to be
reported accurately by the kernel.

If you boot or resume your laptop with the lid closed on a docking
station while using an external monitor connected to it, both internal
and external displays will light on, while only the external should.

There is a design choice in gdm to only provide the greeter on the
internal display when lit on, so users only see a gray area on the
external monitor. Also, the cursor will not show up as it's by
default on the internal display too.

To "fix" that, users have to open the laptop once and close it once
again to sync the state of the switch with the hardware state.

Even if the "method" operation mode implementation can be buggy on
some platforms, the "open" choice is worse.  It breaks docking
stations basically and there is no way to have a user-space hwdb to
fix that.

On the contrary, it's rather easy in user-space to have a hwdb
with the problematic platforms. Then,  libinput (1.7.0+) can fix
the state of the lid switch for us: you need to set the udev
property LIBINPUT_ATTR_LID_SWITCH_RELIABILITY to 'write_open'.

When libinput detects internal keyboard events, it will overwrite the
state of the switch to open, making it reliable again.  Given that
logind only checks the lid switch value after a timeout, we can
assume the user will use the internal keyboard before this timeout
expires.

For example, such a hwdb entry is:

libinput:name:*Lid Switch*:dmi:*svnMicrosoftCorporation:pnSurface3:*
 LIBINPUT_ATTR_LID_SWITCH_RELIABILITY=write_open

commit fc08a4703a418a398bbb575ac311d36d110ac786 upstream.

The check for an MCE being a memory error in the NFIT mce handler was
bogus. Use the new mce_is_memory_error() helper to detect the error
properly.

<title>ACPI / power: Avoid maybe-uninitialized warning</title>

commit fe8c470ab87d90e4b5115902dd94eced7e3305c3 upstream.

gcc -O2 cannot always prove that the loop in acpi_power_get_inferred_state()
is enterered at least once, so it assumes that cur_state might not get
initialized:

drivers/acpi/power.c: In function 'acpi_power_get_inferred_state':
drivers/acpi/power.c:222:9: error: 'cur_state' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Werror=maybe-uninitialized]

This sets the variable to zero at the start of the loop, to ensure that
there is well-defined behavior even for an empty list. This gets rid of
the warning.

The warning first showed up when the -Os flag got removed in a bug fix
patch in linux-4.11-rc5.

I would suggest merging this addon patch on top of that bug fix to avoid
introducing a new warning in the stable kernels.
