<content type='text'>
commit 61b79e16c68d703dde58c25d3935d67210b7d71b upstream.

Paul Menzel reported a warning:

  WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 774 at /build/linux-ROBWaj/linux-4.9.13/kernel/trace/trace_functions_graph.c:233 ftrace_return_to_handler+0x1aa/0x1e0
  Bad frame pointer: expected f6919d98, received f6919db0
    from func acpi_pm_device_sleep_wake return to c43b6f9d

The warning means that function graph tracing is broken for the
acpi_pm_device_sleep_wake() function.  That's because the ACPI Makefile
unconditionally sets the '-Os' gcc flag to optimize for size.  That's an
issue because mcount-based function graph tracing is incompatible with
'-Os' on x86, thanks to the following gcc bug:

  https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=42109

I have another patch pending which will ensure that mcount-based
function graph tracing is never used with CONFIG_CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_SIZE on
x86.

But this patch is needed in addition to that one because the ACPI
Makefile overrides that config option for no apparent reason.  It has
had this flag since the beginning of git history, and there's no related
comment, so I don't know why it's there.  As far as I can tell, there's
no reason for it to be there.  The appropriate behavior is for it to
honor CONFIG_CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_{SIZE,PERFORMANCE} like the rest of the
kernel.

<title>ACPI: Introduce CPU performance controls using CPPC</title>

<content type='text'>
CPPC stands for Collaborative Processor Performance Controls
and is defined in the ACPI v5.0+ spec. It describes CPU
performance controls on an abstract and continuous scale
allowing the platform (e.g. remote power processor) to flexibly
optimize CPU performance with its knowledge of power budgets
and other architecture specific knowledge.

This patch adds a shim which exports commonly used functions
to get and set CPPC specific controls for each CPU. This enables
CPUFreq drivers to gather per CPU performance data and use
with exisiting governors or even allows for customized governors
which are implemented inside CPUFreq drivers.

This patch introduces a new Kconfig symbol, ACPI_PROCESSOR_IDLE,
which is auto selected by architectures which support the ACPI
based C states for CPU Idle management.

The processor_idle driver in its present form contains declarations
specific to X86 and IA64. Since there are no reasonable defaults
for other architectures e.g. ARM64, the driver is selected only for
X86 or IA64.

This helps in decoupling the ACPI processor_driver from the ACPI
processor_idle driver which is useful for the upcoming alternative
patchwork for controlling CPU Performance (CPPC) and CPU Idle (LPI).

<id>urn:sha1:239708a3af44064366f1af0eea02dc1e8991c11b</id>
<content type='text'>
The ACPI processor driver is currently tied too closely
to the ACPI P-states (PSS) and other related constructs
for controlling CPU performance.

The newer ACPI specification (v5.1 onwards) introduces
alternative methods to PSS. These new mechanisms are
described within each ACPI Processor object and so they
need to be scanned whenever a new Processor object is detected.
This patch introduces a new Kconfig symbol to allow for
finer configurability among the two options for controlling
performance states. There is no change in functionality and
the option is auto-selected by the architectures which support it.

A future commit will introduce support for CPPC: A newer method of
controlling CPU performance. The OS is not expected to support
CPPC and PSS at the same time, so the Kconfig option lets us make
the two mutually exclusive at compile time.

<content type='text'>
Pull libnvdimm subsystem from Dan Williams:
 "The libnvdimm sub-system introduces, in addition to the
  libnvdimm-core, 4 drivers / enabling modules:

  NFIT:
    Instantiates an "nvdimm bus" with the core and registers memory
    devices (NVDIMMs) enumerated by the ACPI 6.0 NFIT (NVDIMM Firmware
    Interface table).

    After registering NVDIMMs the NFIT driver then registers "region"
    devices.  A libnvdimm-region defines an access mode and the
    boundaries of persistent memory media.  A region may span multiple
    NVDIMMs that are interleaved by the hardware memory controller.  In
    turn, a libnvdimm-region can be carved into a "namespace" device and
    bound to the PMEM or BLK driver which will attach a Linux block
    device (disk) interface to the memory.

  PMEM:
    Initially merged in v4.1 this driver for contiguous spans of
    persistent memory address ranges is re-worked to drive
    PMEM-namespaces emitted by the libnvdimm-core.

    In this update the PMEM driver, on x86, gains the ability to assert
    that writes to persistent memory have been flushed all the way
    through the caches and buffers in the platform to persistent media.
    See memcpy_to_pmem() and wmb_pmem().

  BLK:
    This new driver enables access to persistent memory media through
    "Block Data Windows" as defined by the NFIT.  The primary difference
    of this driver to PMEM is that only a small window of persistent
    memory is mapped into system address space at any given point in
    time.

    Per-NVDIMM windows are reprogrammed at run time, per-I/O, to access
    different portions of the media.  BLK-mode, by definition, does not
    support DAX.

  BTT:
    This is a library, optionally consumed by either PMEM or BLK, that
    converts a byte-accessible namespace into a disk with atomic sector
    update semantics (prevents sector tearing on crash or power loss).

    The sinister aspect of sector tearing is that most applications do
    not know they have a atomic sector dependency.  At least today's
    disk's rarely ever tear sectors and if they do one almost certainly
    gets a CRC error on access.  NVDIMMs will always tear and always
    silently.  Until an application is audited to be robust in the
    presence of sector-tearing the usage of BTT is recommended.

A struct nvdimm_bus is the anchor device for registering nvdimm
resources and interfaces, for example, a character control device,
nvdimm devices, and I/O region devices.  The ACPI NFIT (NVDIMM Firmware
Interface Table) is one possible platform description for such
non-volatile memory resources in a system.  The nfit.ko driver attaches
to the "ACPI0012" device that indicates the presence of the NFIT and
parses the table to register a struct nvdimm_bus instance.

<id>urn:sha1:14ca7a47d0ab2a7a35faab130e6d9682f8ff1a46</id>
<content type='text'>
This is a preparation patch for the backlight interface selection logic
cleanup, there are 2 reasons to not always build the video_detect code
into the kernel:

1) In order for the video_detect.c to also deal with / select native
backlight interfaces on win8 systems, instead of doing this in video.c
where it does not belong, video_detect.c needs to call into the backlight
class code. Which cannot be done if it is builtin and the blacklight class
is not.

2) Currently all the platform/x86 drivers which have quirks to prefer
the vendor driver over acpi-video call acpi_video_unregister_backlight()
to remove the acpi-video backlight interface, this logic really belongs
in video_detect.c, which will cause video_detect.c to depend on symbols of
video.c and video.c already depends on video_detect.c symbols, so they
really need to be a single module.

Note that this commits make 2 changes so as to maintain 100% kernel
commandline compatibility:

1) The __setup call for the acpi_backlight= handling is moved to
   acpi/util.c as __setup may only be used by code which is alwasy builtin
2) video.c is renamed to acpi_video.c so that it can be combined with
   video_detect.c into video.ko

This commit also makes changes to drivers/platform/x86/Kconfig to ensure
that drivers which use acpi_video_backlight_support() from video_detect.c,
will not be built-in when acpi_video is not built in. This also changes
some "select" uses to "depends on" to avoid dependency loops.

<title>ACPI: move arm64 GSI IRQ model to generic GSI IRQ layer</title>

<id>urn:sha1:d8f4f161e31f3ee9768467344e6cc31a0b9d9249</id>
<content type='text'>
The code deployed to implement GSI linux IRQ numbers mapping on arm64 turns
out to be generic enough so that it can be moved to ACPI core code along
with its respective config option ACPI_GENERIC_GSI selectable on
architectures that can reuse the same code.

Current ACPI IRQ mapping code is not integrated in the kernel IRQ domain
infrastructure, in particular there is no way to look-up the
IRQ domain associated with a particular interrupt controller, so this
first version of GSI generic code carries out the GSI&lt;-&gt;IRQ mapping relying
on the IRQ default domain which is supposed to be always set on a
specific architecture in case the domain structure passed to
irq_create/find_mapping() functions is missing.

This patch moves the arm64 acpi functions that implement the gsi mappings:

acpi_gsi_to_irq()
acpi_register_gsi()
acpi_unregister_gsi()

to ACPI core code. Since the generic GSI&lt;-&gt;domain mapping is based on IRQ
domains, it can be extended as soon as a way to map an interrupt
controller to an IRQ domain is implemented for ACPI in the IRQ domain
layer.

x86 and ia64 code for GSI mappings cannot rely on the generic GSI
layer at present for legacy reasons, so they do not select the
ACPI_GENERIC_GSI config options and keep relying on their arch
specific GSI mapping layer.
