commit 2b8760100e1de69b6ff004c986328a82947db4ad upstream.

ACPICA commit aacf863cfffd46338e268b7415f7435cae93b451

It is reported that on a physically 64-bit addressed machine, 32-bit kernel
can trigger crashes in accessing the memory regions that are beyond the
32-bit boundary. The region field's start address should still be 32-bit
compliant, but after a calculation (adding some offsets), it may exceed the
32-bit boundary. This case is rare and buggy, but there are real BIOSes
leaked with such issues (see References below).

This patch fixes this gap by always defining IO addresses as 64-bit, and
allows OSPMs to optimize it for a real 32-bit machine to reduce the size of
the internal objects.

Internal acpi_physical_address usages in the structures that can be fixed
by this change include:
 1. struct acpi_object_region:
    acpi_physical_address		address;
 2. struct acpi_address_range:
    acpi_physical_address		start_address;
    acpi_physical_address		end_address;
 3. struct acpi_mem_space_context;
    acpi_physical_address		address;
 4. struct acpi_table_desc
    acpi_physical_address		address;
See known issues 1 for other usages.

Note that acpi_io_address which is used for ACPI_PROCESSOR may also suffer
from same problem, so this patch changes it accordingly.

For iasl, it will enforce acpi_physical_address as 32-bit to generate
32-bit OSPM compatible tables on 32-bit platforms, we need to define
ACPI_32BIT_PHYSICAL_ADDRESS for it in acenv.h.

Known issues:
 1. Cleanup of mapped virtual address
   In struct acpi_mem_space_context, acpi_physical_address is used as a virtual
   address:
    acpi_physical_address                   mapped_physical_address;
   It is better to introduce acpi_virtual_address or use acpi_size instead.
   This patch doesn't make such a change. Because this should be done along
   with a change to acpi_os_map_memory()/acpi_os_unmap_memory().
   There should be no functional problem to leave this unchanged except
   that only this structure is enlarged unexpectedly.

This global is acting as an OSL global variable, implemented in the
oswinxf.c and osunixxf.c.

This patch cleans up the definition of this variable so that new utilities
do not need to define it in order to link.

Linux kernel behaviour is not affected as the changes only applies to the
ACPICA userspace utilities which are not shipped in the kernel currently.

<title>ACPICA: Update aclinux.h for new OSL override mechanism.</title>

<id>93220587f76b8a4eca89cb655fc0cc04e9da663d</id>
<content type='text'>
The new ACPICA OSL override mechanism is used to solve these issues
for the Linux OSL:
 1. Linux can implement OSL using a macro.
 2. Linux can implement OSL using an inlined function.
 3. Linux can leave OSL not implemented for __KERNEL__ undefined code
    fragments.
 4. Linux can add sparse declarators (__iomem) to OSL.
 5. Linux can add memory tuning declarators (__init/__exit) to OSL.
This patch also moves Linux specific OSL to aclinux.h which has not been
maintained in the ACPICA code base.  Lv Zheng.

Known issue:

 From ACPICA's perspective, actypes.h should be included after inclusion
 of acenv.h.  But currently in Linux, aclinux.h included by acenv.h has
 included actypes.h to find ACPICA types for inline functions.  This is a
 known and existing issue and currently there is no real problem caused
 by this issue for Linux kernel build.  Thus this issue is not covered by
 this cleanup commit.

This change enables the host OS to redefine OSL prototypes found in the
acpiosxf.h file. This allows the host OS to implement OSL interfaces with
a macro or inlined function. Further, it allows the host OS to add any
additional required modifiers such as __iomem, __init, __exit, etc.,
as necessary on a per-interface basis. Enables maximum flexibility
for the OSL interfaces. Lv Zheng.

For Linux, there are no functional changes/binary generation differences
introduced by this patch.

This change adds a new macro to all files that contain external ACPICA
interfaces. It can be detected and used by the host (via the host-specific
header) for any special processing required for such modules. Lv Zheng.
