samsung-laptop: Disable on EFI hardware

2013-02-04T00:27:05+00:00

commit e0094244e41c4d0c7ad69920681972fc45d8ce34 upstream.

It has been reported that running this driver on some Samsung laptops
with EFI can cause those machines to become bricked as detailed in the
following report,

	https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-cdimage/+bug/1040557

There have also been reports of this driver causing Machine Check
Exceptions on recent EFI-enabled Samsung laptops,

	https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=47121

So disable it if booting from EFI since this driver relies on
grovelling around in the BIOS memory map which isn't going to work.

efi: Make 'efi_enabled' a function to query EFI facilities

2013-02-04T00:27:05+00:00

commit 83e68189745ad931c2afd45d8ee3303929233e7f upstream.

Originally 'efi_enabled' indicated whether a kernel was booted from
EFI firmware. Over time its semantics have changed, and it now
indicates whether or not we are booted on an EFI machine with
bit-native firmware, e.g. 64-bit kernel with 64-bit firmware.

The immediate motivation for this patch is the bug report at,

    https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-cdimage/+bug/1040557

which details how running a platform driver on an EFI machine that is
designed to run under BIOS can cause the machine to become
bricked. Also, the following report,

    https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=47121

details how running said driver can also cause Machine Check
Exceptions. Drivers need a new means of detecting whether they're
running on an EFI machine, as sadly the expression,

    if (!efi_enabled)

hasn't been a sufficient condition for quite some time.

Users actually want to query 'efi_enabled' for different reasons -
what they really want access to is the list of available EFI
facilities.

For instance, the x86 reboot code needs to know whether it can invoke
the ResetSystem() function provided by the EFI runtime services, while
the ACPI OSL code wants to know whether the EFI config tables were
mapped successfully. There are also checks in some of the platform
driver code to simply see if they're running on an EFI machine (which
would make it a bad idea to do BIOS-y things).

This patch is a prereq for the samsung-laptop fix patch.

sony-laptop: fix SNC buffer calls when SN06 returns Integers

2013-01-17T16:45:57+00:00

commit dcbeec264d73b7228ffdfe767eab69b2353099b1 upstream.

SN06 in some cases returns an Integer instead of a buffer. While the
code handling the return value was trying to cope with the difference,
the memcpy call was not making any difference between the two types of
acpi_object union. This regression was introduced in 3.5.
While there also rework the return value logic to improve readability.

2012-10-02T16:54:49+00:00

Pull workqueue changes from Tejun Heo:
 "This is workqueue updates for v3.7-rc1.  A lot of activities this
  round including considerable API and behavior cleanups.

   * delayed_work combines a timer and a work item.  The handling of the
     timer part has always been a bit clunky leading to confusing
     cancelation API with weird corner-case behaviors.  delayed_work is
     updated to use new IRQ safe timer and cancelation now works as
     expected.

   * Another deficiency of delayed_work was lack of the counterpart of
     mod_timer() which led to cancel+queue combinations or open-coded
     timer+work usages.  mod_delayed_work[_on]() are added.

     These two delayed_work changes make delayed_work provide interface
     and behave like timer which is executed with process context.

   * A work item could be executed concurrently on multiple CPUs, which
     is rather unintuitive and made flush_work() behavior confusing and
     half-broken under certain circumstances.  This problem doesn't
     exist for non-reentrant workqueues.  While non-reentrancy check
     isn't free, the overhead is incurred only when a work item bounces
     across different CPUs and even in simulated pathological scenario
     the overhead isn't too high.

     All workqueues are made non-reentrant.  This removes the
     distinction between flush_[delayed_]work() and
     flush_[delayed_]_work_sync().  The former is now as strong as the
     latter and the specified work item is guaranteed to have finished
     execution of any previous queueing on return.

   * In addition to the various bug fixes, Lai redid and simplified CPU
     hotplug handling significantly.

   * Joonsoo introduced system_highpri_wq and used it during CPU
     hotplug.

  There are two merge commits - one to pull in IRQ safe timer from
  tip/timers/core and the other to pull in CPU hotplug fixes from
  wq/for-3.6-fixes as Lai's hotplug restructuring depended on them."

Fixed a number of trivial conflicts, but the more interesting conflicts
were silent ones where the deprecated interfaces had been used by new
code in the merge window, and thus didn't cause any real data conflicts.

Tejun pointed out a few of them, I fixed a couple more.
