Len Brown b33c25d6a6 acpica: ACPI_MAX_SLEEP should be 2 sec, not 20
This limit is a workaround for AML that sleeps too long,
but the workaround didn't work b/c of a typo.

Fenghua Yu 8f9c91273e ACPICA: Do not repair _TSS return package if _PSS is present
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.

Rafael J. Wysocki 981858bd7a ACPI / ACPICA: Implicit notify for multiple devices
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.

Rafael J. Wysocki 2d55951368 ACPI / ACPICA: Avoid crashing if _PRW is defined for the root object
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 bba63a296f
(ACPICA: Implicit notify support) that added the wake_device argument
to acpi_setup_gpe_for_wake().

Lin Ming 2629484288 ACPICA: Fix issues/fault with automatic "serialized" method support
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

in version 20100528 as a result of a performance optimization
that reduces the number of namespace walks upon method exit

delete_namespace_by_owner function used previously. Bug is in
the delete_namespace_subtree function.

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).

Rafael J. Wysocki 5acdb1af90 ACPI / ACPICA: Disable GPEs during initialization
GPEs with corresponding _Lxx/_Exx control methods need to be disabled
during initialization in case they have been enabled by the BIOS, so
that they don't fire up until they are enabled by acpi_update_gpes().

Don Zickus 072b198a4a x86, nmi_watchdog: Remove all stub function calls from old nmi_watchdog
Now that the bulk of the old nmi_watchdog is gone, remove all
the stub variables and hooks associated with it.

This touches lots of files mainly because of how the io_apic
nmi_watchdog was implemented.  Now that the io_apic nmi_watchdog
is forever gone, remove all its fingers.

Most of this code was not being exercised by virtue of
nmi_watchdog != NMI_IO_APIC, so there shouldn't be anything to
risky here.
