<content type='text'>
commit 524f42fab787a9510be826ce3d736b56d454ac6d upstream.

The ECDT of ASUSTEK L4R doesn't provide correct command and data
I/O ports.  The DSDT provides the correct information instead.

For this reason, add this machine to quirk list for ECDT validation
and use the EC information from the DSDT.

<title>ACPI: Try harder to resolve _ADR collisions for bridges</title>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.radix-linux.su/kernel/linux.git/commit/?id=60f75b8e97daf4a39790a20d962cb861b9220af5'/>
<id>urn:sha1:60f75b8e97daf4a39790a20d962cb861b9220af5</id>
<content type='text'>
In theory, under a given ACPI namespace node there should be only
one child device object with _ADR whose value matches a given bus
address exactly.  In practice, however, there are systems in which
multiple child device objects under a given parent have _ADR matching
exactly the same address.  In those cases we use _STA to determine
which of the multiple matching devices is enabled, since some systems
are known to indicate which ACPI device object to associate with the
given physical (usually PCI) device this way.

Unfortunately, as it turns out, there are systems in which many
device objects under the same parent have _ADR matching exactly the
same bus address and none of them has _STA, in which case they all
should be regarded as enabled according to the spec.  Still, if
those device objects are supposed to represent bridges (e.g. this
is the case for device objects corresponding to PCIe ports), we can
try harder and skip the ones that have no child device objects in the
ACPI namespace.  With luck, we can avoid using device objects that we
are not expected to use this way.

Although this only works for bridges whose children also have ACPI
namespace representation, it is sufficient to address graphics
adapter detection issues on some systems, so rework the code finding
a matching device ACPI handle for a given bus address to implement
this idea.

Introduce a new function, acpi_find_child(), taking three arguments:
the ACPI handle of the device's parent, a bus address suitable for
the device's bus type and a bool indicating if the device is a
bridge and make it work as outlined above.  Reimplement the function
currently used for this purpose, acpi_get_child(), as a call to
acpi_find_child() with the last argument set to 'false' and make
the PCI subsystem use acpi_find_child() with the bridge information
passed as the last argument to it.  [Lan Tianyu notices that it is
not sufficient to use pci_is_bridge() for that, because the device's
subordinate pointer hasn't been set yet at this point, so use
hdr_type instead.]

This change fixes a regression introduced inadvertently by commit
33f767d (ACPI: Rework acpi_get_child() to be more efficient) which
overlooked the fact that for acpi_walk_namespace() "post-order" means
"after all children have been visited" rather than "on the way back",
so for device objects without children and for namespace walks of
depth 1, as in the acpi_get_child() case, the "post-order" callbacks
ordering is actually the same as the ordering of "pre-order" ones.
Since that commit changed the namespace walk in acpi_get_child() to
terminate after finding the first matching object instead of going
through all of them and returning the last one, it effectively
changed the result returned by that function in some rare cases and
that led to problems (the switch from a "pre-order" to a "post-order"
callback was supposed to prevent that from happening, but it was
ineffective).

As it turns out, the systems where the change made by commit
33f767d actually matters are those where there are multiple ACPI
device objects representing the same PCIe port (which effectively
is a bridge).  Moreover, only one of them, and the one we are
expected to use, has child device objects in the ACPI namespace,
so the regression can be addressed as described above.

<title>ACPI / processor: move try_offline_node() after acpi_unmap_lsapic()</title>

<content type='text'>
try_offline_node() checks that all CPUs associated with the given
node have been removed by using cpu_present_bits.  If all cpus
related to that node have been removed, try_offline_node() clears
the node information.

However, try_offline_node() called from acpi_processor_remove() never
clears the node information.  For disabling cpu_present_bits,
acpi_unmap_lsapic() needs be called.  Yet, acpi_unmap_lsapic() is
called after try_offline_node() has run.  So when try_offline_node()
runs, the CPU's cpu_present_bits is always set.

Fix the issue by moving try_offline_node() after acpi_unmap_lsapic().

The problem fixed here was uncovered by commit cecdb19 "ACPI / scan:
Change the implementation of acpi_bus_trim()".

<title>ACPI: Drop physical_node_id_bitmap from struct acpi_device</title>

<id>urn:sha1:007ccfcf89401e764c33965b739310d86a94626d</id>
<content type='text'>
The physical_node_id_bitmap in struct acpi_device is only used for
looking up the first currently unused dependent phyiscal node ID
by acpi_bind_one().  It is not really necessary, however, because
acpi_bind_one() walks the entire physical_node_list of the given
device object for sanity checking anyway and if that list is always
sorted by node_id, it is straightforward to find the first gap
between the currently used node IDs and use that number as the ID
of the new list node.

This also removes the artificial limit of the maximum number of
dependent physical devices per ACPI device object, which now depends
only on the capacity of unsigend int.  As a result, it fixes a
regression introduced by commit e2ff394 (ACPI / memhotplug: Bind
removable memory blocks to ACPI device nodes) that caused
acpi_memory_enable_device() to fail when the number of 128 MB blocks
within one removable memory module was greater than 32.

<title>ACPI / PM: Walk physical_node_list under physical_node_lock</title>

<id>urn:sha1:623cf33cb055b1e81fa47e4fc16789b2c129e31e</id>
<content type='text'>
The list of physical devices corresponding to an ACPI device
object is walked by acpi_system_wakeup_device_seq_show() and
physical_device_enable_wakeup() without taking that object's
physical_node_lock mutex.  Since each of those functions may be
run at any time as a result of a user space action, the lack of
appropriate locking in them may lead to a kernel crash if that
happens during device hot-add or hot-remove involving the device
object in question.

Fix the issue by modifying acpi_system_wakeup_device_seq_show() and
physical_device_enable_wakeup() to use physical_node_lock as
appropriate.

<content type='text'>
If the _BCL package ordering is descending, the first level
(br-&gt;levels[2]) is likely to be 0, and if the number of levels
matches the number of steps, we might confuse a returned level to
mean the index.

For example:

  current_level = max_level = 100
  test_level = 0
  returned level = 100

In this case 100 means the level, not the index, and _BCM failed.
Still, if the _BCL package ordering is descending, the index of
level 0 is also 100, so we assume _BQC is indexed, when it's not.

This causes all _BQC calls to return bogus values causing weird
behavior from the user's perspective.  For example:

xbacklight -set 10; xbacklight -set 20;

would flash to 90% and then slowly down to the desired level (20).

The solution is simple; test anything other than the first level
(e.g. 1).

The _BIX method returns extended battery info as a package.
According the ACPI spec (ACPI 5, Section 10.2.2.2), the first member
of that package should be "Revision".  However, the current ACPI
battery driver treats the first member as "Power Unit" which should
be the second member.  This causes the result of _BIX return data
parsing to be incorrect.

Fix this by adding a new member called 'revision' to struct
acpi_battery and adding the offsetof() information on it to
extended_info_offsets[] as the first row.

<content type='text'>
We attempted to address a regression introduced by commit a57f7f9
(ACPICA: Add Windows8/Server2012 string for _OSI method.) after which
ACPI video backlight support doesn't work on a number of systems,
because the relevant AML methods in the ACPI tables in their BIOSes
become useless after the BIOS has been told that the OS is compatible
with Windows 8.  That problem is tracked by the bug entry at:

https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=51231

Commit 8c5bd7a (ACPI / video / i915: No ACPI backlight if firmware
expects Windows 8) introduced for this purpose essentially prevented
the ACPI backlight support from being used if the BIOS had been told
that the OS was compatible with Windows 8 and the i915 driver was
loaded, in which case the backlight would always be handled by i915.
Unfortunately, however, that turned out to cause problems with
backlight to appear on multiple systems with symptoms indicating that
i915 was unable to control the backlight on those systems as
expected.

For this reason, revert commit 8c5bd7a, but leave the function
acpi_video_backlight_quirks() introduced by it, because another
commit on top of it uses that function.

<content type='text'>
Pull ACPI video support fixes from Rafael Wysocki:
 "I'm sending a separate pull request for this as it may be somewhat
  controversial.  The breakage addressed here is not really new and the
  fixes may not satisfy all users of the affected systems, but we've had
  so much back and forth dance in this area over the last several weeks
  that I think it's time to actually make some progress.

  The source of the problem is that about a year ago we started to tell
  BIOSes that we're compatible with Windows 8, which we really need to
  do, because some systems shipping with Windows 8 are tested with it
  and nothing else, so if we tell their BIOSes that we aren't compatible
  with Windows 8, we expose our users to untested BIOS/AML code paths.

  However, as it turns out, some Windows 8-specific AML code paths are
  not tested either, because Windows 8 actually doesn't use the ACPI
  methods containing them, so if we declare Windows 8 compatibility and
  attempt to use those ACPI methods, things break.  That occurs mostly
  in the backlight support area where in particular the _BCM and _BQC
  methods are plain unusable on some systems if the OS declares Windows
  8 compatibility.

  [ The additional twist is that they actually become usable if the OS
    says it is not compatible with Windows 8, but that may cause
    problems to show up elsewhere ]

  Investigation carried out by Matthew Garrett indicates that what
  Windows 8 does about backlight is to leave backlight control up to
  individual graphics drivers.  At least there's evidence that it does
  that if the Intel graphics driver is used, so we've decided to follow
  Windows 8 in that respect and allow i915 to control backlight (Daniel
  likes that part).

  The first commit from Aaron Lu makes ACPICA export the variable from
  which we can infer whether or not the BIOS believes that we are
  compatible with Windows 8.

  The second commit from Matthew Garrett prepares the ACPI video driver
  by making it initialize the ACPI backlight even if it is not going to
  be used afterward (that is needed for backlight control to work on
  Thinkpads).

  The third commit implements the actual workaround making i915 take
  over backlight control if the firmware thinks it's dealing with
  Windows 8 and is based on the work of multiple developers, including
  Matthew Garrett, Chun-Yi Lee, Seth Forshee, and Aaron Lu.

  The final commit from Aaron Lu makes us follow Windows 8 by informing
  the firmware through the _DOS method that it should not carry out
  automatic brightness changes, so that brightness can be controlled by
  GUI.

  Hopefully, this approach will allow us to avoid using blacklists of
  systems that should not declare Windows 8 compatibility just to avoid
  backlight control problems in the future.

   - Change from Aaron Lu makes ACPICA export a variable which can be
     used by driver code to determine whether or not the BIOS believes
     that we are compatible with Windows 8.

   - Change from Matthew Garrett makes the ACPI video driver initialize
     the ACPI backlight even if it is not going to be used afterward
     (that is needed for backlight control to work on Thinkpads).

   - Fix from Rafael J Wysocki implements Windows 8 backlight support
     workaround making i915 take over bakclight control if the firmware
     thinks it's dealing with Windows 8.  Based on the work of multiple
     developers including Matthew Garrett, Chun-Yi Lee, Seth Forshee,
     and Aaron Lu.

   - Fix from Aaron Lu makes the kernel follow Windows 8 by informing
     the firmware through the _DOS method that it should not carry out
     automatic brightness changes, so that brightness can be controlled
     by GUI"
