[ Upstream commit 8a736ddfc861b2a217c935c2f461a8004add8247 ]

On non-x86 architectures, the screen_info variable is generally only
used for the VGA console where supported, and in some cases the EFI
framebuffer or vga16fb.

Now that we have a definite list of which architectures actually use it
for what, use consistent #ifdef checks so the global variable is only
defined when it is actually used on those architectures.

Loongarch and riscv have no support for vgacon or vga16fb, but
they support EFI firmware, so only that needs to be checked, and the
initialization can be removed because that is handled by EFI.
IA64 has both vgacon and EFI, though EFI apparently never uses
a framebuffer here.

<title>cpu-hotplug: Provide prototypes for arch CPU registration</title>

<id>urn:sha1:c4dd854f740c21ae8dd9903fc67969c5497cb14b</id>
<content type='text'>
Provide common prototypes for arch_register_cpu() and
arch_unregister_cpu(). These are called by acpi_processor.c, with weak
versions, so the prototype for this is already set. It is generally not
necessary for function prototypes to be conditional on preprocessor macros.

Some architectures (e.g. Loongarch) are missing the prototype for this, and
rather than add it to Loongarch's asm/cpu.h, do the job once for everyone.

Since this covers everyone, remove the now unnecessary prototypes in
asm/cpu.h, and therefore remove the 'static' from one of ia64's
arch_register_cpu() definitions.

Commit 0a0e2ea642f6 ("ACPI: processor: Move MWAIT quirk out of
acpi_processor.c") moved the MWAIT quirk code into arch/x86 but left
calls to it in the ACPI PDC processor code that is shared with Itanium,
breaking the latter build.

Since the quirk is specific to a certain x86-based platform, stub out
the function acpi_proc_quirk_mwait_check() when building for ia64.

Pull x86 shadow stack support from Dave Hansen:
 "This is the long awaited x86 shadow stack support, part of Intel's
  Control-flow Enforcement Technology (CET).

  CET consists of two related security features: shadow stacks and
  indirect branch tracking. This series implements just the shadow stack
  part of this feature, and just for userspace.

  The main use case for shadow stack is providing protection against
  return oriented programming attacks. It works by maintaining a
  secondary (shadow) stack using a special memory type that has
  protections against modification. When executing a CALL instruction,
  the processor pushes the return address to both the normal stack and
  to the special permission shadow stack. Upon RET, the processor pops
  the shadow stack copy and compares it to the normal stack copy.

  For more information, refer to the links below for the earlier
  versions of this patch set"

Pull ACPI updates from Rafael Wysocki:
 "These include new ACPICA material, a rework of the ACPI thermal
  driver, a switch-over of the ACPI processor driver to using _OSC
  instead of (long deprecated) _PDC for CPU initialization, a rework of
  firmware notifications handling in several drivers, fixes and cleanups
  for suspend-to-idle handling on AMD systems, ACPI backlight driver
  updates and more.

  Specifics:

   - Update the ACPICA code in the kernel to upstream revision 20230628
     including the following changes:
      - Suppress a GCC 12 dangling-pointer warning (Philip Prindeville)
      - Reformat the ACPI_STATE_COMMON macro and its users (George Guo)
      - Replace the ternary operator with ACPI_MIN() (Jiangshan Yi)
      - Add support for _DSC as per ACPI 6.5 (Saket Dumbre)
      - Remove a duplicate macro from zephyr header (Najumon B.A)
      - Add data structures for GED and _EVT tracking (Jose Marinho)
      - Fix misspelled CDAT DSMAS define (Dave Jiang)
      - Simplify an error message in acpi_ds_result_push() (Christophe
        Jaillet)
      - Add a struct size macro related to SRAT (Dave Jiang)
      - Add AML_NO_OPERAND_RESOLVE flag to Timer (Abhishek Mainkar)
      - Add support for RISC-V external interrupt controllers in MADT
        (Sunil V L)
      - Add RHCT flags, CMO and MMU nodes (Sunil V L)
      - Change ACPICA version to 20230628 (Bob Moore)

   - Introduce new wrappers for ACPICA notify handler install/remove and
     convert multiple drivers to using their own Notify() handlers
     instead of the ACPI bus type .notify() slated for removal (Michal
     Wilczynski)

   - Add backlight=native DMI quirk for Apple iMac12,1 and iMac12,2
     (Hans de Goede)

   - Put ACPI video and its child devices explicitly into D0 on boot to
     avoid platform firmware confusion (Kai-Heng Feng)

   - Add backlight=native DMI quirk for Lenovo Ideapad Z470 (Jiri Slaby)

   - Support obtaining physical CPU ID from MADT on LoongArch (Bibo Mao)

   - Convert ACPI CPU initialization to using _OSC instead of _PDC that
     has been depreceted since 2018 and dropped from the specification
     in ACPI 6.5 (Michal Wilczynski, Rafael Wysocki)

Pull fchmodat2 system call from Christian Brauner:
 "This adds the fchmodat2() system call. It is a revised version of the
  fchmodat() system call, adding a missing flag argument. Support for
  both AT_SYMLINK_NOFOLLOW and AT_EMPTY_PATH are included.

  Adding this system call revision has been a longstanding request but
  so far has always fallen through the cracks. While the kernel
  implementation of fchmodat() does not have a flag argument the libc
  provided POSIX-compliant fchmodat(3) version does. Both glibc and musl
  have to implement a workaround in order to support AT_SYMLINK_NOFOLLOW
  (see [1] and [2]).

  The workaround is brittle because it relies not just on O_PATH and
  O_NOFOLLOW semantics and procfs magic links but also on our rather
  inconsistent symlink semantics.

  This gives userspace a proper fchmodat2() system call that libcs can
  use to properly implement fchmodat(3) and allows them to get rid of
  their hacks. In this case it will immediately benefit them as the
  current workaround is already defunct because of aformentioned
  inconsistencies.

  In addition to AT_SYMLINK_NOFOLLOW, give userspace the ability to use
  AT_EMPTY_PATH with fchmodat2(). This is already possible with
  fchownat() so there's no reason to not also support it for
  fchmodat2().

  The implementation is simple and comes with selftests. Implementation
  of the system call and wiring up the system call are done as separate
  patches even though they could arguably be one patch. But in case
  there are merge conflicts from other system call additions it can be
  beneficial to have separate patches"

Merge ACPI processor driver changes for 6.6-rc1:

 - Support obtaining physical CPU ID from MADT on LoongArch (Bibo Mao).

 - Convert ACPI CPU initialization to using _OSC instead of _PDC that
   has been depreceted since 2018 and dropped from the specification in
   ACPI 6.5 (Michal Wilczynski, Rafael Wysocki).

* acpi-processor:
  ACPI: processor: LoongArch: Get physical ID from MADT
  ACPI: processor: Refine messages in acpi_early_processor_control_setup()
  ACPI: processor: Remove acpi_hwp_native_thermal_lvt_osc()
  ACPI: processor: Use _OSC to convey OSPM processor support information
  ACPI: processor: Introduce acpi_processor_osc()
  ACPI: processor: Set CAP_SMP_T_SWCOORD in arch_acpi_set_proc_cap_bits()
  ACPI: processor: Clear C_C2C3_FFH and C_C1_FFH in arch_acpi_set_proc_cap_bits()
  ACPI: processor: Rename ACPI_PDC symbols
  ACPI: processor: Refactor arch_acpi_set_pdc_bits()
  ACPI: processor: Move processor_physically_present() to acpi_processor.c
  ACPI: processor: Move MWAIT quirk out of acpi_processor.c
