ACPICA commit 90f5332a15e9d9ba83831ca700b2b9f708274658

This patch adds a new FACS initialization flag for acpi_tb_initialize().
acpi_enable_subsystem() might be invoked several times in OS bootup process,
and we don't want FACS initialization to be invoked twice. Lv Zheng.

commit 2b8760100e1de69b6ff004c986328a82947db4ad upstream.

ACPICA commit aacf863cfffd46338e268b7415f7435cae93b451

It is reported that on a physically 64-bit addressed machine, 32-bit kernel
can trigger crashes in accessing the memory regions that are beyond the
32-bit boundary. The region field's start address should still be 32-bit
compliant, but after a calculation (adding some offsets), it may exceed the
32-bit boundary. This case is rare and buggy, but there are real BIOSes
leaked with such issues (see References below).

This patch fixes this gap by always defining IO addresses as 64-bit, and
allows OSPMs to optimize it for a real 32-bit machine to reduce the size of
the internal objects.

Internal acpi_physical_address usages in the structures that can be fixed
by this change include:
 1. struct acpi_object_region:
    acpi_physical_address		address;
 2. struct acpi_address_range:
    acpi_physical_address		start_address;
    acpi_physical_address		end_address;
 3. struct acpi_mem_space_context;
    acpi_physical_address		address;
 4. struct acpi_table_desc
    acpi_physical_address		address;
See known issues 1 for other usages.

Note that acpi_io_address which is used for ACPI_PROCESSOR may also suffer
from same problem, so this patch changes it accordingly.

For iasl, it will enforce acpi_physical_address as 32-bit to generate
32-bit OSPM compatible tables on 32-bit platforms, we need to define
ACPI_32BIT_PHYSICAL_ADDRESS for it in acenv.h.

Known issues:
 1. Cleanup of mapped virtual address
   In struct acpi_mem_space_context, acpi_physical_address is used as a virtual
   address:
    acpi_physical_address                   mapped_physical_address;
   It is better to introduce acpi_virtual_address or use acpi_size instead.
   This patch doesn't make such a change. Because this should be done along
   with a change to acpi_os_map_memory()/acpi_os_unmap_memory().
   There should be no functional problem to leave this unchanged except
   that only this structure is enlarged unexpectedly.

<title>ACPICA: OSL: Add configurability for memory allocation macros.</title>
<updated>2014-05-06T22:55:00+00:00</updated>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.radix-linux.su/kernel/linux.git/commit/?id=d5caf1cdc41c311cb5d4d2c010f90809f319c7dd'/>
<id>urn:sha1:d5caf1cdc41c311cb5d4d2c010f90809f319c7dd</id>
<content type='text'>
OSPMs like Linux trend to include all header files but leave empty stub
macros for a feature that is not configured during build.

For macros defined without other symbols referencesd it is safe to leave
them without protections.

By investigation, there are only the following internal/external
symbols referenced by the ACPICA macros:
1. C library symbols, including string, ctype, stdarg APIs.  Since such
   symbols are always accessbile in the kernel source tree, it is safe to
   leave macros referencing them without protected for Linux.
2. ACPICA OSL symbols, such symbols are designed to be used only by ACPICA
   internal APIs.  And there are macros directly referencing mutex and
   memory allocation OSL symbols.  We need to examine the external usages
   of such macros.
   For macros referencing the mutex OSL symbols, fortunately, there is no
   external user directly invoking such macros.
   ========================================================================
   !! IMPORTANT !!
   ========================================================================
   For macros referencing memory allocation OSL symbols -
    1. 'free' - ACPI_FREE
    2. 'alloc' - ACPI_ALLOCATE, ACPI_ALLOCATE_ZEROED, ACPI_ALLOCATE_BUFFER,
                 ACPI_ALLOCATE_LOCAL_BUFFER
   there are external users directly invoking 'alloc' macros.  And the more
   complicated situation is the reversals of such macros are not ACPI_FREE
   but acpi_os_free (or kfree) in Linux.  Though we can define such macros
   into no-op, we in fact cannot define their reversals into no-op.
   This patch adds mechanism to protect ACPICA memory allocation APIs for
   Linux so that acpi_os_free (or kfree) invoked in Linux can have a zero
   address returned by 'alloc' macros to free.  In this
   way, acpi_os_free (or kfree) can be converted into no-op.
   ========================================================================
3. ACPI_OFFSET and other macros that would access structure members, we
   need to check if such structure members are not accessible under a
   specific configuration.  Fortunately, currently Linux doesn't use such
   structure members when CONFIG_ACPI is disabled.

This patch thus only adds mechanism useful for implementing stubs for
ACPICA provided macros - the configurability of memory allocation APIs.

This patch doesn't include code for Linux to use this new mechanism, thus
no functional changes.  Lv Zheng.

<content type='text'>
Use push and pop to both guarantee that the correct alignment is used,
and to restore the alignment to whatever it was before the header
was included.

It is reported that the #pragma pack(push/pop) directives are not supported
by the specific GCCs, but this patch still doesn't affect kernel build
as there are already #pragma pack([1]) directives used in the old ACPICA
headers, which means there shouldn't be GCCs that are currently used to
compile the ACPI kernels do not support #pragma pack() directives.

<title>ACPICA: acpidump: Remove integer types translation protection.</title>

<id>urn:sha1:e252652fb2664d42de19f933aa3688bbc470de3f</id>
<content type='text'>
Remove translation protection for applications as Linux tools folder will
start to use such types.

In Linux kernel source tree, after removing this translation protection,
the u8/u16/u32/u64/s32/s64 typedefs are exposed for both __KERNEL__ builds
and !__KERNEL__ builds (tools/power/acpi) and the original definitions of
ACPI_UINT8/16/32/64_MAX are changed.

For !__KERNEL__ builds, this kind of defintions should already been tested
by the distribution vendors that are distributing binary ACPICA package and
we've achieved the successful built/run test result in the kernel source
tree.

For __KERNEL__ builds, there are 2 things affected:
1. u8/u16/u32/u64/s32/s64 type definitions:
   Since Linux has already type defined u8/u16/u32/u64/s32/s64 in
   include/uapi/asm-generic/int-ll64.h for __KERNEL__.  In order not to
   introduce build regressions where the 2 typedefs are differed,
   ACPI_USE_SYSTEM_INTTYPES is introduced to mask out ACPICA's typedefs.
   It must be defined for Linux __KERNEL__ builds.
2. ACPI_UINT8/16/32/64_MAX definitions:
   Before applying this change:
     ACPI_UINT8_MAX: sizeof (UINT8)
      UINT8: unsigned char
     ACPI_UINT16_MAX: sizeof (UINT16)
      UINT16: unsigned short
     ACPI_UINT32_MAX: sizeof (UINT32)
      INT32: int
      UINT32: unsigned int
     ACPI_UINT64_MAX: sizeof (UINT64)
      INT64: COMPILER_DEPENDENT_INT64
       COMPILER_DEPENDENT_INT64: signed long (IA64) or
                                 signed long long (IA32)
      UINT64: COMPILER_DEPENDENT_UINT64
       COMPILER_DEPENDENT_UINT64: unsigned long (IA64) or
                                  unsigned long long (IA32)
   After applying this change:
     ACPI_UINT8_MAX: sizeof (u8)
      u8: unsigned char
      UINT8: (removed from actypes.h)
     ACPI_UINT16_MAX: sizeof (u16)
      u16: unsigned short
      UINT16: (removed from actypes.h)
     ACPI_UINT32_MAX: sizeof (u32)
      INT32/UINT32: (removed from actypes.h)
      s32: signed int
      u32: unsigned int
     ACPI_UINT64_MAX: sizeof (u64)
      INT64/UINT64: (removed from actypes.h)
      u64: unsigned long long
      s64: signed long long
      COMPILER_DEPENDENT_INT64: signed long (IA64) (not used any more)
                                signed long long (IA32) (not used any more)
      COMPILER_DEPENDENT_UINT64: unsigned long (IA64) (not used any more)
                                 unsigned long long (IA32) (not used any more)
   All definitions are equal except ACPI_UINT64_MAX for CONFIG_IA64.  It
   is changed from sizeof(unsigned long) to sizeof(unsigned long long).
   By investigation, 64bit Linux kernel build is LP64 compliant, i.e.,
   sizeof(long) and (pointer) are 64.  As sizeof(unsigned long) equals to
   sizeof(unsigned long long) on IA64 platform where CONFIG_64BIT cannot be
   disabled, this change actually will not affect the value of
   ACPI_UINT64_MAX on IA64 platforms.

This patch is necessary for the ACPICA's acpidump tool to build
correctly.  Lv Zheng.
