2011-11-06ACPI: Fix possible recursive locking in hwregs.cRakib Mullick
Calling pm-suspend might trigger a recursive lock in it's code path. In function acpi_hw_clear_acpi_status, acpi_os_acquire_lock holds the lock acpi_gbl_hardware_lock before calling acpi_hw_register_write(), then without releasing acpi_gbl_hardware_lock, this function calls acpi_ev_walk_gpe_list, which tries to hold acpi_gbl_gpe_lock. Both acpi_gbl_hardware_lock and acpi_gbl_gpe_lock are at same lock-class and which might cause lock recursion deadlock. Following patch fixes this scenario by just releasing acpi_gbl_hardware_lock before calling acpi_ev_walk_gpe_list.

2011-07-13ACPICA: Do not repair _TSS return package if _PSS is presentFenghua Yu
We can only sort the _TSS return package if there is no _PSS in the same scope. This is because if _PSS is present, the ACPI specification dictates that the _TSS Power Dissipation field is to be ignored, and therefore some BIOSs leave garbage values in the _TSS Power field(s). In this case, it is best to just return the _TSS package as-is.

2011-02-24ACPI / ACPICA: Implicit notify for multiple devicesRafael J. Wysocki
Commit bba63a2 (ACPICA: Implicit notify support) introduced a mechanism that causes a notify request of type ACPI_NOTIFY_DEVICE_WAKE to be queued automatically by acpi_ev_asynch_execute_gpe_method() for the device whose _PRW points to the GPE being handled if that GPE is not associated with an _Lxx/_Exx method. However, it turns out that on some systems there are multiple devices with _PRW pointing to the same GPE without _Lxx/_Exx and the mechanism introduced by commit bba63a2 needs to be extended so that "implicit" notify requests of type ACPI_NOTIFY_DEVICE_WAKE can be queued automatically for all those devices at the same time.

2011-02-12ACPI / ACPICA: Avoid crashing if _PRW is defined for the root objectRafael J. Wysocki
Some ACPI BIOSes define _PRW for the root object which causes acpi_setup_gpe_for_wake() to crash when trying to dereference the bogus device_node pointer. Avoid the crash by checking if wake_device is not the root object before attempting to set up the "implicit notify" mechanism for it. The problem was introduced by commit bba63a296ffab20e08d9e8252d2f0d99 (ACPICA: Implicit notify support) that added the wake_device argument to acpi_setup_gpe_for_wake(). Signed-off-by: Rafael J.

2011-01-18ACPICA: Fix issues/fault with automatic "serialized" method supportLin Ming
History: This support changes a method to "serialized" on the fly if the method generates an AE_ALREADY_EXISTS error, indicating the possibility that it cannot handle reentrancy. This fix repairs a couple of issues seen in the field, especially on machines with many cores. 1) Delete method children only upon the exit of the last thread, so as to not delete objects out from under running threads. 2) Set the "serialized" bit for the method only upon the exit of the last thread, so as to not cause deadlock when running threads attempt to exit. 3) Cleanup the use of the AML "MethodFlags" and internal method flags so that there is no longer any confustion between the two.

Fixes a race condition between method execution and namespace walks that can possibly fault. Problem was apparently introduced in version 20100528 as a result of a performance optimization that reduces the number of namespace walks upon method exit by using the delete_namespace_subtree function instead of the delete_namespace_by_owner function used previously.

2011-01-07ACPI / ACPICA: Fix global lock acquisitionRafael J. Wysocki
There are two problems with the ACPICA's current implementation of the global lock acquisition. First, acpi_ev_global_lock_handler(), which in fact is an interface to the outside of the kernel, doesn't validate its input, so it only works correctly if the other side (i.e. the ACPI firmware) is fully specification-compliant (as far as the global lock is concerned). Unfortunately, that's known not to be the case on some systems (i.e. we get spurious global lock signaling interrupts without the pending flag set on some systems). Second, acpi_ev_global_lock_handler() attempts to acquire the global lock on behalf of a thread waiting for it without checking if there actually is such a thread. Both of these shortcomings need to be addressed to prevent all possible race conditions from happening. Rework acpi_ev_global_lock_handler() so that it doesn't try to acquire the global lock and make it signal the availability of the global lock to the waiting thread instead. Make sure that the availability of the global lock can only be signaled when there is a thread waiting for it and that it can't be signaled more than once in a row (to keep acpi_gbl_global_lock_semaphore in balance).
