  • Pull more ACPI and power management updates from Rafael Wysocki:
    "These are commits that were not quite ready when I sent the original
    pull request for 3.15-rc1 several days ago, but they have spent some
    time in linux-next since then and appear to be good to go. All of
    them are fixes and cleanups.

    Specifics:

    - Remaining changes from upstream ACPICA release 20140214 that
    introduce code to automatically serialize the execution of methods
    creating any named objects which really cannot be executed in
    parallel with each other anyway (previously ACPICA attempted to
    address that by aborting methods upon conflict detection, but that
    wasn't reliable enough and led to other issues). From Bob Moore
    and Lv Zheng.

    - intel_pstate fix to use del_timer_sync() instead of del_timer() in
    the exit path before freeing the timer structure from Dirk
    Brandewie (original patch from Thomas Gleixner).

    - cpufreq fix related to system resume from Viresh Kumar.

    - Serialization of frequency transitions in cpufreq that involve
    PRECHANGE and POSTCHANGE notifications to avoid ordering issues
    resulting from race conditions. From Srivatsa S Bhat and Viresh
    Kumar.

    - Revert of an ACPI processor driver change that was based on a
    specific interpretation of the ACPI spec which may not be correct
    (the relevant part of the spec appears to be incomplete). From
    Hanjun Guo.

    - Runtime PM core cleanups and documentation updates from Geert
    Uytterhoeven.

    - PNP core cleanup from Michael Opdenacker"

  • Pull x86 LTO changes from Peter Anvin:
    "More infrastructure work in preparation for link-time optimization
    (LTO). Most of these changes is to make sure symbols accessed from
    assembly code are properly marked as visible so the linker doesn't
    remove them.

    My understanding is that the changes to support LTO are still not
    upstream in binutils, but are on the way there. This patchset should
    conclude the x86-specific changes, and remaining patches to actually
    enable LTO will be fed through the Kbuild tree (other than keeping up
    with changes to the x86 code base, of course), although not
    necessarily in this merge window"

  • Before commit b355cee88e3b (ACPI / resources: ignore invalid ACPI
    device resources), if acpi_dev_resource_memory()/acpi_dev_resource_io()
    returns false, it means the the resource is not a memeory/IO resource.

    But after commit b355cee88e3b, those functions return false if the
    given memory/IO resource entry is invalid (the length of the resource
    is zero).

    This breaks pnpacpi_allocated_resource(), because it now recognizes
    the invalid memory/io resources as resources of unknown type. Thus
    users see confusing warning messages on machines with zero length
    ACPI memory/IO resources.

    Fix the problem by rearranging pnpacpi_allocated_resource() so that
    it calls acpi_dev_resource_memory() for memory type and IO type
    resources only, respectively.

  • Replace the .find_device function pointer in struct acpi_bus_type
    with a new one, .find_companion, that is supposed to point to a
    function returning struct acpi_device pointer (instead of an int)
    and takes one argument (instead of two). This way the role of
    this callback is more clear and the implementation of it can
    be more straightforward.

    Update all of the users of struct acpi_bus_type (PCI, PNP/ACPI and
    USB) to reflect the structure change.

  • Replace direct inclusions of , and
    , which are incorrect, with
    inclusions and remove some inclusions of those files that aren't
    necessary.

    First of all, , and
    should not be included directly from any files that are built for
    CONFIG_ACPI unset, because that generally leads to build warnings about
    undefined symbols in !CONFIG_ACPI builds. For CONFIG_ACPI set,
    includes those files and for CONFIG_ACPI unset it
    provides stub ACPI symbols to be used in that case.

    Second, there are ordering dependencies between those files that always
    have to be met. Namely, it is required that be included
    prior to so that the acpi_pci_root declarations the
    latter depends on are always there. And which provides
    basic ACPICA type declarations should always be included prior to any other
    ACPI headers in CONFIG_ACPI builds. That also is taken care of including
    as appropriate.

  • acpi_has_method() is a new ACPI API introduced to check
    the existence of an ACPI control method.

    It can be used to replace acpi_get_handle() in the case that
    1. the calling function doesn't need the ACPI handle of the control method.
    and
    2. the calling function doesn't care the reason why the method is unavailable.

    in drivers/pnp/pnpacpi/core.c in this patch.

  • Pull power management and ACPI updates from Rafael Wysocki:
    "This time the total number of ACPI commits is slightly greater than
    the number of cpufreq commits, but Viresh Kumar (who works on cpufreq)
    remains the most active patch submitter.

    To me, the most significant change is the addition of offline/online
    device operations to the driver core (with the Greg's blessing) and
    the related modifications of the ACPI core hotplug code. Next are the
    freezer updates from Colin Cross that should make the freezing of
    tasks a bit less heavy weight.

    We also have a couple of regression fixes, a number of fixes for
    issues that have not been identified as regressions, two new drivers
    and a bunch of cleanups all over.

    Highlights:

    - Hotplug changes to support graceful hot-removal failures.

    It sometimes is necessary to fail device hot-removal operations
    gracefully if they cannot be carried out completely. For example,
    if memory from a memory module being hot-removed has been allocated
    for the kernel's own use and cannot be moved elsewhere, it's
    desirable to fail the hot-removal operation in a graceful way
    rather than to crash the kernel, but currenty a success or a kernel
    crash are the only possible outcomes of an attempted memory
    hot-removal. Needless to say, that is not a very attractive
    alternative and it had to be addressed.

    However, in order to make it work for memory, I first had to make
    it work for CPUs and for this purpose I needed to modify the ACPI
    processor driver. It's been split into two parts, a resident one
    handling the low-level initialization/cleanup and a modular one
    playing the actual driver's role (but it binds to the CPU system
    device objects rather than to the ACPI device objects representing
    processors). That's been sort of like a live brain surgery on a
    patient who's riding a bike.

    So this is a little scary, but since we found and fixed a couple of
    regressions it caused to happen during the early linux-next testing
    (a month ago), nobody has complained.

    As a bonus we remove some duplicated ACPI hotplug code, because the
    ACPI-based CPU hotplug is now going to use the common ACPI hotplug
    code.

    - Lighter weight freezing of tasks.

    These changes from Colin Cross and Mandeep Singh Baines are
    targeted at making the freezing of tasks a bit less heavy weight
    operation. They reduce the number of tasks woken up every time
    during the freezing, by using the observation that the freezer
    simply doesn't need to wake up some of them and wait for them all
    to call refrigerator(). The time needed for the freezer to decide
    to report a failure is reduced too.

    Also reintroduced is the check causing a lockdep warining to
    trigger when try_to_freeze() is called with locks held (which is
    generally unsafe and shouldn't happen).

    - cpufreq updates

    First off, a commit from Srivatsa S Bhat fixes a resume regression
    introduced during the 3.10 cycle causing some cpufreq sysfs
    attributes to return wrong values to user space after resume. The
    fix is kind of fresh, but also it's pretty obvious once Srivatsa
    has identified the root cause.

    Second, we have a new freqdomain_cpus sysfs attribute for the
    acpi-cpufreq driver to provide information previously available via
    related_cpus. From Lan Tianyu.

    Finally, we fix a number of issues, mostly related to the
    CPUFREQ_POSTCHANGE notifier and cpufreq Kconfig options and clean
    up some code. The majority of changes from Viresh Kumar with bits
    from Jacob Shin, Heiko Stübner, Xiaoguang Chen, Ezequiel Garcia,
    Arnd Bergmann, and Tang Yuantian.

    - ACPICA update

    A usual bunch of updates from the ACPICA upstream.

    During the 3.4 cycle we introduced support for ACPI 5 extended
    sleep registers, but they are only supposed to be used if the
    HW-reduced mode bit is set in the FADT flags and the code attempted
    to use them without checking that bit. That caused suspend/resume
    regressions to happen on some systems. Fix from Lv Zheng causes
    those registers to be used only if the HW-reduced mode bit is set.

    Apart from this some other ACPICA bugs are fixed and code cleanups
    are made by Bob Moore, Tomasz Nowicki, Lv Zheng, Chao Guan, and
    Zhang Rui.

    - cpuidle updates

    New driver for Xilinx Zynq processors is added by Michal Simek.

    Multidriver support simplification, addition of some missing
    kerneldoc comments and Kconfig-related fixes come from Daniel
    Lezcano.

    - ACPI power management updates

    Changes to make suspend/resume work correctly in Xen guests from
    Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk, sparse warning fix from Fengguang Wu and
    cleanups and fixes of the ACPI device power state selection
    routine.

    - ACPI documentation updates

    Some previously missing pieces of ACPI documentation are added by
    Lv Zheng and Aaron Lu (hopefully, that will help people to
    uderstand how the ACPI subsystem works) and one outdated doc is
    updated by Hanjun Guo.

    - Assorted ACPI updates

    We finally nailed down the IA-64 issue that was the reason for
    reverting commit 9f29ab11ddbf ("ACPI / scan: do not match drivers
    against objects having scan handlers"), so we can fix it and move
    the ACPI scan handler check added to the ACPI video driver back to
    the core.

    A mechanism for adding CMOS RTC address space handlers is
    introduced by Lan Tianyu to allow some EC-related breakage to be
    fixed on some systems.

    A spec-compliant implementation of acpi_os_get_timer() is added by
    Mika Westerberg.

    The evaluation of _STA is added to do_acpi_find_child() to avoid
    situations in which a pointer to a disabled device object is
    returned instead of an enabled one with the same _ADR value. From
    Jeff Wu.

    Intel BayTrail PCH (Platform Controller Hub) support is added to
    the ACPI driver for Intel Low-Power Subsystems (LPSS) and that
    driver is modified to work around a couple of known BIOS issues.
    Changes from Mika Westerberg and Heikki Krogerus.

    The EC driver is fixed by Vasiliy Kulikov to use get_user() and
    put_user() instead of dereferencing user space pointers blindly.

    Code cleanups are made by Bjorn Helgaas, Nicholas Mazzuca and Toshi
    Kani.

    - Assorted power management updates

    The "runtime idle" helper routine is changed to take the return
    values of the callbacks executed by it into account and to call

  • To fix a 5-year-old regression, reverse changes made by commit
    7ef3639 (PNP: don't fail device init if no DMA channel available).

    As an example to show the problem, my sound card provides a
    prioritized list of PnP "dependent sets" of requested resources:

    dependent set 0 (preferred) wants DMA 5.
    dependent set 1 (acceptable) will take DMA 5, 6, or 7.
    ...
    dependent set 4 (acceptable) doesn't request a high DMA.

    If DMA 5 is not available, pnp_assign_dma has to fail on set 0 so that
    pnp_auto_config_dev will move on to set 1 and get DMA 6 or 7.
    Instead, pnp_assign_dma adds the resource with flags |=
    IORESOURCE_DISABLED and returns success. pnp_auto_config_dev just
    sees success and therefore chooses set 0 with a disabled DMA and never
    tries the sets that would have resolved the conflict.

    Furthermore, this mode of "success" is unexpected and unhandled in
    sound/isa/sb and probably other drivers. sb assumes that the returned
    DMA is enabled and obliviously uses the invalid DMA number. Observed
    consequences were sb successfully grabbing a DMA that was expressly
    forbidden by the kernel parameter pnp_reserve_dma.

    The only upside to the original change would be as a kludge for
    devices that can operate in degraded mode without a DMA but that don't
    provide the corresponding non-preferred dependent set. The right
    workaround for those devices is to synthesize the missing set in
    quirks.c; otherwise, you're reinventing PnP fallback functionality at
    the driver level for that device and all others.

  • Pull powerpc update from Benjamin Herrenschmidt:
    "The main highlights this time around are:

    - A pile of addition POWER8 bits and nits, such as updated
    performance counter support (Michael Ellerman), new branch history
    buffer support (Anshuman Khandual), base support for the new PCI
    host bridge when not using the hypervisor (Gavin Shan) and other
    random related bits and fixes from various contributors.

    - Some rework of our page table format by Aneesh Kumar which fixes a
    thing or two and paves the way for THP support. THP itself will
    not make it this time around however.

    - More Freescale updates, including Altivec support on the new e6500
    cores, new PCI controller support, and a pile of new boards support
    and updates.

    - The usual batch of trivial cleanups & fixes"

  • The only part of proc_dir_entry the code outside of fs/proc
    really cares about is PDE(inode)->data. Provide a helper
    for that; static inline for now, eventually will be moved
    to fs/proc, along with the knowledge of struct proc_dir_entry
    layout.

    Bisected to commit c13085e5
    ACPICA: Resource Mgr: Prevent infinite loops in resource walks

    That commit will check acpi_resource length strictly which causes
    acpi_set_current_resources to return failure and IRQ for PCI
    devices is not set properly.

    Set length for all those TYPE_END_TAG acpi_resources.

  • USB uses the .find_bridge() callback from struct acpi_bus_type
    incorrectly, because as a result of the way it is used by USB every
    device in the system that doesn't have a bus type or parent is
    passed to usb_acpi_find_device() for inspection.

    What USB actually needs, though, is to call usb_acpi_find_device()
    for USB ports that don't have a bus type defined, but have
    usb_port_device_type as their device type, as well as for USB
    devices.

    To fix that replace the struct bus_type pointer in struct
    acpi_bus_type used for matching devices to specific subsystems
    with a .match() callback to be used for this purpose and update
    the users of struct acpi_bus_type, including USB, accordingly.
    Define the .match() callback routine for USB, usb_acpi_bus_match(),
    in such a way that it will cover both USB devices and USB ports
    and remove the now redundant .find_bridge() callback pointer from
    usb_acpi_bus.

  • Pull vfs pile (part one) from Al Viro:
    "Assorted stuff - cleaning namei.c up a bit, fixing ->d_name/->d_parent
    locking violations, etc.

    "has ->d_weak_revalidate()") and a new helper getting from struct file
    to inode. Some bits of preparation to xattr method interface changes.

    Misc patches by various people sent this cycle *and* ocfs2 fixes from
    several cycles ago that should've been upstream right then.
