Pull ACPI updates from Rafael Wysocki:
 "These eliminate significant AML processing overhead related to using
  operation regions in system memory, update the ACPICA code in the
  kernel to upstream revision 20200717 (including a fix to prevent
  operation region reference counts from overflowing in some cases),
  remove the last bits of the (long deprecated) ACPI procfs interface
  and do some assorted cleanups.

  Specifics:

   - Eliminate significant AML processing overhead related to using
     operation regions in system memory by reworking the management of
     memory mappings in the ACPI code to defer unmap operations (to do
     them outside of the ACPICA locks, among other things) and making
     the memory operation reagion handler avoid releasing memory
     mappings created by it too early (Rafael Wysocki).

   - Update the ACPICA code in the kernel to upstream revision 20200717:

       * Prevent operation region reference counts from overflowing in
         some cases (Erik Kaneda).

       * Replace one-element array with flexible-array (Gustavo A. R.
         Silva).

   - Fix ACPI PCI hotplug reference counting (Rafael Wysocki).

   - Drop last bits of the ACPI procfs interface (Thomas Renninger).

   - Drop some redundant checks from the code parsing ACPI tables
     related to NUMA (Hanjun Guo).

   - Avoid redundant object evaluation in the ACPI device properties
     handling code (Heikki Krogerus).

   - Avoid unecessary memory overhead related to storing the signatures
     of the ACPI tables recognized by the kernel (Ard Biesheuvel).

   - Add missing newline characters when printing module parameter
     values in some places (Xiongfeng Wang).

   - Update the link to the ACPI specifications in some places (Tiezhu
     Yang).

   - Use the fallthrough pseudo-keyword in the ACPI code (Gustavo A. R.
     Silva).

   - Drop redundant variable initialization from the APEI code (Colin
     Ian King).

   - Drop uninitialized_var() from the ACPI PAD driver (Jason Yan).

   - Replace HTTP links with HTTPS ones in the ACPI code (Alexander A.
     Klimov)"

Pull arm64 and cross-arch updates from Catalin Marinas:
 "Here's a slightly wider-spread set of updates for 5.9.

  Going outside the usual arch/arm64/ area is the removal of
  read_barrier_depends() series from Will and the MSI/IOMMU ID
  translation series from Lorenzo.

  The notable arm64 updates include ARMv8.4 TLBI range operations and
  translation level hint, time namespace support, and perf.

  Summary:

   - Removal of the tremendously unpopular read_barrier_depends()
     barrier, which is a NOP on all architectures apart from Alpha, in
     favour of allowing architectures to override READ_ONCE() and do
     whatever dance they need to do to ensure address dependencies
     provide LOAD -&gt; LOAD/STORE ordering.

     This work also offers a potential solution if compilers are shown
     to convert LOAD -&gt; LOAD address dependencies into control
     dependencies (e.g. under LTO), as weakly ordered architectures will
     effectively be able to upgrade READ_ONCE() to smp_load_acquire().
     The latter case is not used yet, but will be discussed further at
     LPC.

   - Make the MSI/IOMMU input/output ID translation PCI agnostic,
     augment the MSI/IOMMU ACPI/OF ID mapping APIs to accept an input ID
     bus-specific parameter and apply the resulting changes to the
     device ID space provided by the Freescale FSL bus.

   - arm64 support for TLBI range operations and translation table level
     hints (part of the ARMv8.4 architecture version).

   - Time namespace support for arm64.

   - Export the virtual and physical address sizes in vmcoreinfo for
     makedumpfile and crash utilities.

   - CPU feature handling cleanups and checks for programmer errors
     (overlapping bit-fields).

   - ACPI updates for arm64: disallow AML accesses to EFI code regions
     and kernel memory.

   - perf updates for arm64.

   - Miscellaneous fixes and cleanups, most notably PLT counting
     optimisation for module loading, recordmcount fix to ignore
     relocations other than R_AARCH64_CALL26, CMA areas reserved for
     gigantic pages on 16K and 64K configurations.

   - Trivial typos, duplicate words"

Some HW devices are created as child devices of proprietary busses,
that have a bus specific policy defining how the child devices
wires representing the devices ID are translated into IOMMU and
IRQ controllers device IDs.

Current IORT code provides translations for:

- PCI devices, where the device ID is well identified at bus level
  as the requester ID (RID)
- Platform devices that are endpoint devices where the device ID is
  retrieved from the ACPI object IORT mappings (Named components single
  mappings). A platform device is represented in IORT as a named
  component node

For devices that are child devices of proprietary busses the IORT
firmware represents the bus node as a named component node in IORT
and it is up to that named component node to define in/out bus
specific ID translations for the bus child devices that are
allocated and created in a bus specific manner.

In order to make IORT ID translations available for proprietary
bus child devices, the current ACPI (and IORT) code must be
augmented to provide an additional ID parameter to acpi_dma_configure()
representing the child devices input ID. This ID is bus specific
and it is retrieved in bus specific code.

By adding an ID parameter to acpi_dma_configure(), the IORT
code can map the child device ID to an IOMMU stream ID through
the IORT named component representing the bus in/out ID mappings.

ACPICA commit 7ba2f3d91a32f104765961fda0ed78b884ae193d

The current codebase makes use of one-element arrays in the following
form:

struct something {
    int length;
    u8 data[1];
};

struct something *instance;

instance = kmalloc(sizeof(*instance) + size, GFP_KERNEL);
instance-&gt;length = size;
memcpy(instance-&gt;data, source, size);

but the preferred mechanism to declare variable-length types such as
these ones is a flexible array member[1][2], introduced in C99:

struct foo {
        int stuff;
        struct boo array[];
};

By making use of the mechanism above, we will get a compiler warning
in case the flexible array does not occur last in the structure,
which will help us prevent some kind of undefined behavior bugs from
being inadvertently introduced[3] to the linux codebase from now on.

This issue was found with the help of Coccinelle and audited _manually_.

<title>ACPICA: Preserve memory opregion mappings</title>
<updated>2020-07-27T10:29:02+00:00</updated>

<id>b8fcd0e588fc256bed3d65a4e23017c5582ecf48</id>
<content type='text'>
The ACPICA's strategy with respect to the handling of memory mappings
associated with memory operation regions is to avoid mapping the
entire region at once which may be problematic at least in principle
(for example, it may lead to conflicts with overlapping mappings
having different attributes created by drivers).  It may also be
wasteful, because memory opregions on some systems take up vast
chunks of address space while the fields in those regions actually
accessed by AML are sparsely distributed.

For this reason, a one-page "window" is mapped for a given opregion
on the first memory access through it and if that "window" does not
cover an address range accessed through that opregion subsequently,
it is unmapped and a new "window" is mapped to replace it.  Next,
if the new "window" is not sufficient to acess memory through the
opregion in question in the future, it will be replaced with yet
another "window" and so on.  That may lead to a suboptimal sequence
of memory mapping and unmapping operations, for example if two fields
in one opregion separated from each other by a sufficiently wide
chunk of unused address space are accessed in an alternating pattern.

The situation may still be suboptimal if the deferred unmapping
introduced previously is supported by the OS layer.  For instance,
the alternating memory access pattern mentioned above may produce
a relatively long list of mappings to release with substantial
duplication among the entries in it, which could be avoided if
acpi_ex_system_memory_space_handler() did not release the mapping
used by it previously as soon as the current access was not covered
by it.

In order to improve that, modify acpi_ex_system_memory_space_handler()
to preserve all of the memory mappings created by it until the memory
regions associated with them go away.

Accordingly, update acpi_ev_system_memory_region_setup() to unmap all
memory associated with memory opregions that go away.

<title>acpi: Extend TPM2 ACPI table with missing log fields</title>

<content type='text'>
Recent extensions of the TPM2 ACPI table added 3 more fields
including 12 bytes of start method specific parameters and Log Area
Minimum Length (u32) and Log Area Start Address (u64). So, we define
a new structure acpi_tpm2_phy that holds these optional new fields.
The new fields allow non-UEFI systems to access the TPM2's log.

The specification that has the new fields is the following:
  TCG ACPI Specification
  Family "1.2" and "2.0"
  Version 1.2, Revision 8
