Pull ACPI and power management updates from Rafael Wysocki:
"As far as the number of commits goes, the top spot belongs to ACPI
this time with cpufreq in the second position and a handful of PM
core, PNP and cpuidle updates. They are fixes and cleanups mostly, as
usual, with a couple of new features in the mix.The most visible change is probably that we will create struct
acpi_device objects (visible in sysfs) for all devices represented in
the ACPI tables regardless of their status and there will be a new
sysfs attribute under those objects allowing user space to check that
status via _STA.Consequently, ACPI device eject or generally hot-removal will not
delete those objects, unless the table containing the corresponding
namespace nodes is unloaded, which is extremely rare. Also ACPI
container hotplug will be handled quite a bit differently and cpufreq
will support CPU boost ("turbo") generically and not only in the
acpi-cpufreq driver.Specifics:
- ACPI core changes to make it create a struct acpi_device object for
every device represented in the ACPI tables during all namespace
scans regardless of the current status of that device. In
accordance with this, ACPI hotplug operations will not delete those
objects, unless the underlying ACPI tables go away.- On top of the above, new sysfs attribute for ACPI device objects
allowing user space to check device status by triggering the
execution of _STA for its ACPI object. From Srinivas Pandruvada.- ACPI core hotplug changes reducing code duplication, integrating
the PCI root hotplug with the core and reworking container hotplug.- ACPI core simplifications making it use ACPI_COMPANION() in the
code "glueing" ACPI device objects to "physical" devices.- ACPICA update to upstream version 20131218. This adds support for
the DBG2 and PCCT tables to ACPICA, fixes some bugs and improves
debug facilities. From Bob Moore, Lv Zheng and Betty Dall.- Init code change to carry out the early ACPI initialization
earlier. That should allow us to use ACPI during the timekeeping
initialization and possibly to simplify the EFI initialization too.

Pull GPIO tree bulk changes from Linus Walleij:
"A big set this merge window, as we have much going on in this
subsystem. The changes to other subsystems (notably a slew of ARM
machines as I am doing away with their custom APIs) have all been
ACKed to the extent possible.Major changes this time:
- Some core improvements and cleanups to the new GPIO descriptor API.
This seems to be working now so we can start the exodus to this
API, moving gradually away from the global GPIO numberspace.- Incremental improvements to the ACPI GPIO core, and move the few
GPIO ACPI clients we have to the GPIO descriptor API right *now*
before we go any further. We actually managed to contain this
*before* we started to litter the kernel with yet another hackish
global numberspace for the ACPI GPIOs, which is a big win.- The RFkill GPIO driver and all platforms using it have been
migrated to use the GPIO descriptors rather than fixed number
assignments. Tegra machine has been migrated as part of this.- New drivers for MOXA ART, Xtensa GPIO32 and SMSC SCH311x. Those
should be really good examples of how I expect a nice GPIO driver
to look these days.- Do away with custom GPIO implementations on a major part of the ARM
machines: ks8695, lpc32xx, mv78xx0. Make a first step towards the
same in the horribly convoluted Samsung S3C include forest. We
expect to continue to clean this up as we move forward.- Flag GPIO lines used for IRQ on adnp, bcm-kona, em, intel-mid and
lynxpoint.This makes the GPIOlib core aware that a certain GPIO line is used
for IRQs and can then enforce some semantics such as disallowing a
GPIO line marked as in use for IRQ to be switched to output mode.- Drop all use of irq_set_chip_and_handler_name(). The name provided
in these cases were just unhelpful tags like "mux" or "demux".- Extend the MCP23s08 driver to handle interrupts.
- Minor incremental improvements for rcar, lynxpoint, em 74x164 and
msm drivers.- Some non-urgent bug fixes here and there, duplicate #includes and
that usual kind of cleanups"Fix up broken Kconfig file manually to make this all compile.

When I added support for ACPI5 I made the assumption that
injected processor errors would just need to know the APICID,
memory errors just the address and mask, and PCIe errors just the
segment/bus/device/function. So I had the code check the type of injection
and multiplex the "param1" value appropriately.This was not a good assumption :-(
There are injection scenarios where we need to specify more than one of
these items. E.g. injecting a cache error we need to specify an APICID
of the cpu that owns the cache, and also an address (so that we can trip
the error by accessing the address).Add a "flags" file to give the user direct access to specify which items
are valid in the ACPI SET_ERROR_TYPE_WITH_ADDRESS structure. Also add
new files param3 and param4 to hold all these values.For backwards compatability with old injection scripts we maintain the
old behaviour if flags remains set at zero (or is reset to 0).Acked-by: Naveen N. Rao

Modify the ACPI namespace scanning code to register a struct
acpi_device object for every namespace node representing a device,
processor and so on, even if the device represented by that namespace
node is reported to be not present and not functional by _STA.There are multiple reasons to do that. First of all, it avoids
quite a lot of overhead when struct acpi_device objects are
deleted every time acpi_bus_trim() is run and then added again
by a subsequent acpi_bus_scan() for the same scope, although the
namespace objects they correspond to stay in memory all the time
(which always is the case on a vast majority of systems).Second, it will allow user space to see that there are namespace
nodes representing devices that are not present at the moment and may
be added to the system. It will also allow user space to evaluate
_SUN for those nodes to check what physical slots the "missing"
devices may be put into and it will make sense to add a sysfs
attribute for _STA evaluation after this change (that will be
useful for thermal management on some systems).Next, it will help to consolidate the ACPI hotplug handling among
subsystems by making it possible to store hotplug-related information
in struct acpi_device objects in a standard common way.Finally, it will help to avoid a race condition related to the
deletion of ACPI namespace nodes. Namely, namespace nodes may be
deleted as a result of a table unload triggered by _EJ0 or _DCK.
If a hotplug notification for one of those nodes is triggered
right before the deletion and it executes a hotplug callback
via acpi_hotplug_execute(), the ACPI handle passed to that
callback may be stale when the callback actually runs. One way
to work around that is to always pass struct acpi_device pointers
to hotplug callbacks after doing a get_device() on the objects in
question which eliminates the use-after-free possibility (the ACPI
handles in those objects are invalidated by acpi_scan_drop_device(),
so they will trigger ACPICA errors on attempts to use them).Signed-off-by: Rafael J. Wysocki

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
rpm_suspend() if they return 0, which allows us to reduce the
overall code bloat a bit (by dropping some code that's not
necessary any more after that modification).The runtime PM documentation is updated by Alan Stern (to reflect
the "runtime idle" behavior change).New trace points for PM QoS are added by Sahara
().PM QoS documentation is updated by Lan Tianyu.
Code cleanups are made and minor issues are addressed by Bernie
Thompson, Bjorn Helgaas, Julius Werner, and Shuah Khan.- devfreq updates

There is a new generic API to get a DMA channel for a slave device (commit
9a6cecc8 "dmaengine: add helper function to request a slave DMA channel"). In
similar fashion to the DT case (commit aa3da644 "of: Add generic device tree
DMA helpers") we introduce helpers to the DMAC drivers which are enumerated by
ACPI.The proposed extension provides the following API calls:
acpi_dma_controller_register(), devm_acpi_dma_controller_register()
acpi_dma_controller_free(), devm_acpi_dma_controller_free()
acpi_dma_simple_xlate()
acpi_dma_request_slave_chan_by_index()
acpi_dma_request_slave_chan_by_name()The first two should be used, for example, at probe() and remove() of the
corresponding DMAC driver. At the register stage the DMAC driver supplies a
custom xlate() function to translate a struct dma_spec into struct dma_chan.Accordingly to the ACPI Fixed DMA resource specification the only two pieces of
information the slave device has are the channel id and the request line (slave
id). Those two are represented by struct dma_spec. The
acpi_dma_request_slave_chan_by_index() provides access to the specifix FixedDMA
resource by its index. Whereas dma_request_slave_channel() takes a string
parameter to identify the DMA resources required by the slave device. To make a
slave device driver work with both DeviceTree and ACPI enumeration a simple
convention is established: "tx" corresponds to the index 0 and "rx" to the
index 1. In case of robust configuration the slave device driver unfortunately
needs to call acpi_dma_request_slave_chan_by_index() directly.Additionally the patch provides "managed" version of the register/free pair
i.e. devm_acpi_dma_controller_register() and devm_acpi_dma_controller_free().
Usually, the driver uses only devm_acpi_dma_controller_register().Signed-off-by: Andy Shevchenko

Introduce struct acpi_scan_handler for representing objects that
will do configuration tasks depending on ACPI device nodes'
hardware IDs (HIDs).Currently, those tasks are done either directly by the ACPI namespace
scanning code or by ACPI device drivers designed specifically for
this purpose. None of the above is desirable, however, because
doing that directly in the namespace scanning code makes that code
overly complicated and difficult to follow and doing that in
"special" device drivers leads to a great deal of confusion about
their role and to confusing interactions with the driver core (for
example, sysfs directories are created for those drivers, but they
are completely unnecessary and only increase the kernel's memory
footprint in vain).Signed-off-by: Rafael J. Wysocki

"This is a patchset which didn't make the last merge window. It adds a
debugging capability to feed ACPI tables via the initramfs.On a grander scope, it formalizes using the initramfs protocol for
feeding arbitrary blobs which need to be accessed early to the kernel:
they are fed first in the initramfs blob (lots of bootloaders can
concatenate this at boot time, others can use a single file) in an
uncompressed cpio archive using filenames starting with "kernel/".The ACPI maintainers requested that this patchset be fed via the x86
tree rather than the ACPI tree as the footprint in the general x86
code is much bigger than in the ACPI code proper."* 'x86-acpi-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip:
X86 ACPI: Use #ifdef not #if for CONFIG_X86 check
ACPI: Fix build when disabled
ACPI: Document ACPI table overriding via initrd
ACPI: Create acpi_table_taint() function to avoid code duplication
ACPI: Implement physical address table override
ACPI: Store valid ACPI tables passed via early initrd in reserved memblock areas
x86, acpi: Introduce x86 arch specific arch_reserve_mem_area() for e820 handling
lib: Add early cpio decoder

Add a document that describes how to take advantage of ACPI enumeration for
buses like platform, I2C and SPI. In addition to that we document how to
translate ACPI GpioIo and GpioInt resources to be useful in Linux device
drivers.Signed-off-by: Mika Westerberg

Add description of parameter notrigger in the einj.txt.
One can utilize this new parameter to do some SRAR injection
test. Pay attention, the operation is highly depended on the
BIOS implementation. If no proper BIOS supports it, even if
enabling this parameter, expected result will not happen.v2:

ACPI 5.0 provides extensions to the EINJ mechanism to specify the
target for the error injection - by APICID for cpu related errors,
by address for memory related errors, and by segment/bus/device/function
for PCIe related errors. Also extensions for vendor specific error
injections.Tested-by: Chen Gong

EINJ parameter support is only usable for some specific BIOS.
Originally, it is expected to have no harm for BIOS does not support
it. But now, we found it will cause issue (memory overwriting) for
some BIOS. So param support is disabled by default and only enabled
when newly added module parameter named "param_extension" is
explicitly specified.Signed-off-by: Huang Ying

The AER error information printing support is implemented in
drivers/pci/pcie/aer/aer_print.c. So some string constants, functions
and macros definitions can be re-used without being exported.The original PCIe AER error information printing function is not
re-used directly because the overall format is quite different. And
changing the original printing format may make some original users'
scripts broken.Signed-off-by: Huang Ying

In APEI, Hardware error information reported by firmware to Linux
kernel is in the data structure of APEI generic error status (struct
acpi_hes_generic_status). While now printk is used by Linux kernel to
report hardware error information to user space.So, this patch adds printing support for the data structure, so that
the corresponding hardware error information can be reported to user
space via printk.PCIe AER information printing is not implemented yet. Will refactor the
original PCIe AER information printing code to avoid code duplicating.The output format is as follow:

Introduce module parameter acpi.aml_debug_output.
With acpi.aml_debug_output set, we can get AML debug object output
(Store (AAA, Debug)), even with CONFIG_ACPI_DEBUG cleared.Together with the runtime custom method mechanism,
we can debug AML code problems without rebuilding the kernel.Signed-off-by: Zhang Rui

This essentially reverts commit 71fc47a9adf8ee89e5c96a47222915c5485ac437
("ACPI: basic initramfs DSDT override support"), because the code simply
isn't ready.It did ugly things to the init sequence to populate the rootfs image
early, but that just ended up showing other problems with the whole
approach. The fact is, the VFS layer simply isn't initialized this
early, and the relevant ACPI code should either run much later, or this
shouldn't be done at all.For 2.6.25, we'll just pick the latter option. We can revisit this
concept later if necessary.Cc: Dave Hansen

The basics of DSDT from initramfs. In case this option is selected,
populate_rootfs() is called a bit earlier to have the initramfs content
available during ACPI initialization.This is a very similar path to the one available at
http://gaugusch.at/kernel.shtml but with some update in the
documentation, default set to No and the change of populate_rootfs() the
"Jeff Mahony way" (which avoids reading the initramfs twice).Signed-off-by: Thomas Renninger
