[ Upstream commit 073828e954459b883f23e53999d31e4c55ab9654 ]

In ACPI systems, the OS can direct power management, as opposed to the
firmware.  This OS-directed Power Management is called OSPM.  Part of
telling the firmware that the OS going to direct power management is
making ACPI "_PDC" (Processor Driver Capabilities) calls.  These _PDC
methods must be evaluated for every processor object.  If these _PDC
calls are not completed for every processor it can lead to
inconsistency and later failures in things like the CPU frequency
driver.

In a Xen system, the dom0 kernel is responsible for system-wide power
management.  The dom0 kernel is in charge of OSPM.  However, the
number of CPUs available to dom0 can be different than the number of
CPUs physically present on the system.

This leads to a problem: the dom0 kernel needs to evaluate _PDC for
all the processors, but it can't always see them.

In dom0 kernels, ignore the existing ACPI method for determining if a
processor is physically present because it might not be accurate.
Instead, ask the hypervisor for this information.

Fix this by introducing a custom function to use when running as Xen
dom0 in order to check whether a processor object matches a CPU that's
online.  Such checking is done using the existing information fetched
by the Xen pCPU subsystem, extending it to also store the ACPI ID.

This ensures that _PDC method gets evaluated for all physically online
CPUs, regardless of the number of CPUs made available to dom0.

<title>ACPI: processor: Get rid of ACPICA message printing</title>

<content type='text'>
The ACPI_DEBUG_PRINT() and ACPI_EXCEPTION() macros are used for
message printing in the ACPICA code and they should not be used
elsewhere.  Special configuration (either kernel command line or
sysfs-based) is needed to see the messages printed by them and
the format of those messages is also special and convoluted.

For this reason, replace all of the ACPI_DEBUG_PRINT() and
ACPI_EXCEPTION() instances in the ACPI processor driver with
corresponding dev_*(), acpi_handle_*() and pr_*() calls depending
on the context in which they appear.

Also drop the ACPI_PROCESSOR_COMPONENT definition that is not going
to be necessary any more.

<title>License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no license</title>

<id>urn:sha1:b24413180f5600bcb3bb70fbed5cf186b60864bd</id>
<content type='text'>
Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which
makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license.

By default all files without license information are under the default
license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2.

Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0'
SPDX license identifier.  The SPDX identifier is a legally binding
shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text.

This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and
Philippe Ombredanne.

How this work was done:

Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of
the use cases:
 - file had no licensing information it it.
 - file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it,
 - file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information,

Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases
where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license
had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords.

The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to
a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the
output of two independent scanners (ScanCode &amp; Windriver) producing SPDX
tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne.  Philippe prepared the
base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files.

The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files
assessed.  Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner
results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s)
to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not
immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was:
 - Files considered eligible had to be source code files.
 - Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained &gt;5
   lines of source
 - File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if &lt;5
   lines).

All documentation files were explicitly excluded.

The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license
identifiers to apply.

 - when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was
   considered to have no license information in it, and the top level
   COPYING file license applied.

   For non */uapi/* files that summary was:

   SPDX license identifier                            # files
   ---------------------------------------------------|-------
   GPL-2.0                                              11139

   and resulted in the first patch in this series.

   If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH
   Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0".  Results of that was:

   SPDX license identifier                            # files
   ---------------------------------------------------|-------
   GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note                        930

   and resulted in the second patch in this series.

 - if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one
   of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if
   any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in
   it (per prior point).  Results summary:

   SPDX license identifier                            # files
   ---------------------------------------------------|------
   GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note                       270
   GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                      169
   ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause)    21
   ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause)    17
   LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                      15
   GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                       14
   ((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause)    5
   LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                       4
   LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note                        3
   ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT)              3
   ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT)             1

   and that resulted in the third patch in this series.

 - when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became
   the concluded license(s).

 - when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a
   license but the other didn't, or they both detected different
   licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred.

 - In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file
   resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and
   which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics).

 - When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was
   confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

 - If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier,
   the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later
   in time.

In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the
spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the
source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation
by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from
FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners
disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights.  The
Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so
they are related.

Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets
for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the
files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks
in about 15000 files.

In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have
copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the
correct identifier.

Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual
inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch
version early this week with:
 - a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected
   license ids and scores
 - reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+
   files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct
 - reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license
   was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied
   SPDX license was correct

This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction.  This
worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the
different types of files to be modified.

These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg.  Thomas wrote a script to
parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the
format that the file expected.  This script was further refined by Greg
based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to
distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different
comment types.)  Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to
generate the patches.

<id>urn:sha1:25956b6612601cf36022392ffa83f6bf97939bcd</id>
<content type='text'>
In ACPI processor drivers, we use direct comparisons of cpu logical
id with -1 which are error prone in case logical cpuid is accidentally
assinged an error code and prevents us from returning an error-encoding
cpuid directly in some cases.

So introduce invalid_logical_cpuid() to identify cpu with invalid
logical cpu num, then it will be used to replace the direct comparisons
with -1.

<id>urn:sha1:46ba51ea8f8639da32c55744b35479fdfb4e7232</id>
<content type='text'>
The use of _PDC is deprecated in ACPI 3.0 in favor of _OSC,
as ARM platform is supported only in ACPI 5.0 or higher version,
_PDC will not be used in ARM platform, so make Make _PDC only for
platforms with Intel CPUs.

Introduce ARCH_MIGHT_HAVE_ACPI_PDC and move _PDC related code in
ACPI processor driver into a single file processor_pdc.c, make x86
and ia64 select it when ACPI is enabled.

This patch also use pr_* to replace printk to fix the checkpatch
warning and factor acpi_processor_alloc_pdc() a little bit to
avoid duplicate pr_err() code.

We've renamed the old processor_core.c to processor_driver.c, to
convey the idea that it can be built modular and has driver-like
bits.

Now let's re-create a processor_core.c for the bits needed
statically by the rest of the kernel. The contents of processor_pdc.c
are a good starting spot, so let's just rename that file and
complete our three card monte.
