commit 027e128abb82788189d6d45b68e3e8e7329b67be upstream.

After commit 9b311b7313d6 ("ACPI: NFIT: Install Notify() handler before
getting NFIT table"), acpi_nfit_probe() installs an ACPI notify handler
for the NFIT device before checking the presence of the NFIT table.  If
that table is not there, 0 is returned without allocating the acpi_desc
object and setting the driver data pointer of the NFIT device.  If the
platform firmware triggers an NFIT_NOTIFY_UC_MEMORY_ERROR notification
on the NFIT device at that point, acpi_nfit_uc_error_notify() will
dereference a NULL pointer.

Prevent that from occurring by adding an acpi_desc check against NULL
to acpi_nfit_uc_error_notify().

Fixes: 9b311b7313d6 ("ACPI: NFIT: Install Notify() handler before getting NFIT table")

commit 1b1acf2dada0cc3931bb2cb9ff8832edfbee46a1 upstream.

The definition of reg-&gt;access_width changes depending on the
reg-&gt;space_id type.  Type ACPI_ADR_SPACE_PLATFORM_COMM uses
access_width to indicate the PCC region, which can result in a UBSAN
if the value is greater than 4.

For example:

 UBSAN: shift-out-of-bounds in drivers/acpi/cppc_acpi.c:1090:9
 shift exponent 32 is too large for 32-bit type 'int'
 CPU: 61 UID: 0 PID: 1220 Comm: (udev-worker) Not tainted 7.0.10-201.fc44.aarch64 #1 PREEMPT(lazy)
 Hardware name: To be filled by O.E.M.
 Call trace:
  ...(trimming)
  ubsan_epilogue+0x10/0x48
  __ubsan_handle_shift_out_of_bounds+0xdc/0x1e0
  cpc_write+0x4d0/0x670
  cppc_set_perf+0x18c/0x490
  cppc_cpufreq_cpu_init+0x1c8/0x380 [cppc_cpufreq]
  ... (trimming)

Lets fix this by validating the region type, as well as whether
access_width has a value. Then since we are returning bit_width
directly for ACPI_ADR_SPACE_PLATFORM_COMM, drop the code correcting
the size.

<title>ACPI: scan: Use async schedule function in acpi_scan_clear_dep_fn()</title>

<id>urn:sha1:19b3691ec94023aa9953376c48ac84f9aca2c7c1</id>
<content type='text'>
[ Upstream commit 7cf28b3797a81b616bb7eb3e90cf131afc452919 ]

The device object rescan in acpi_scan_clear_dep_fn() is scheduled on a
system workqueue which is not guaranteed to be finished before entering
userspace. This may cause some key devices to be missing when userspace
init task tries to find them. Two issues observed on RISCV platforms:

 - Kernel panic due to userspace init cannot have an opened
   console.

   The console device scanning is queued by acpi_scan_clear_dep_queue()
   and not finished by the time userspace init process running, thus by
   the time userspace init runs, no console is present.

 - Entering rescue shell due to the lack of root devices (PCIe nvme in
   our case).

   Same reason as above, the PCIe host bridge scanning is queued on
   a system workqueue and finished after init process runs.

The reason is because both devices (console, PCIe host bridge) depend on
riscv-aplic irqchip to serve their interrupts (console's wired interrupt
and PCI's INTx interrupts). In order to keep the dependency, these
devices are scanned and created after initializing riscv-aplic. The
riscv-aplic is initialized in device_initcall() and a device scan work
is queued via acpi_scan_clear_dep_queue(), which is close to the time
userspace init process is run. Since system_dfl_wq is used in
acpi_scan_clear_dep_queue() with no synchronization, the issues will
happen if userspace init runs before these devices are ready.

The solution is to wait for the queued work to complete before entering
userspace init. One possible way would be to use a dedicated workqueue
instead of system_dfl_wq, and explicitly flush it somewhere in the
initcall stage before entering userspace. Another way is to use
async_schedule_dev_nocall() for scanning these devices. It's designed
for asynchronous initialization and will work in the same way as before
because it's using a dedicated unbound workqueue as well, but the kernel
init code calls async_synchronize_full() right before entering userspace
init which will wait for the work to complete.

Compared to a dedicated workqueue, the second approach is simpler
because the async schedule framework takes care of all of the details.
The ACPI code only needs to focus on its job. A dedicated workqueue for
this could also be redundant because some platforms don't need
acpi_scan_clear_dep_queue() for their device scanning.

[ Upstream commit 0c00cfbcfcffa7085e4f0c7fd7a4caada4e7a90f ]

Error types in EINJV2 use different bit positions for each flavor of
injection from legacy EINJ.

Two issues:

 1) The address sanity checks in einj_error_inject() were skipped for
    EINJV2 injections. Noted by sashiko[1]
 2) __einj_error_trigger() failed to drop the entry of the target
    physical address from the list of resources that need to be
    requested.

Add a helper function that checks if an injection is to memory and use it
to solve each of these issues.

Note that the old test in __einj_error_trigger() checked that param2 was
not zero. This isn't needed because the sanity checks in einj_error_inject()
reject memory injections with param2 == 0.

If a CMOS RTC (PNP0B00/PNP0B01/PNP0B02) device coexists with an ACPI
TAD (timer and event alarm device, ACPI000E), the ACPI TAD driver will
attempt to install the CMOS RTC address space hanlder that has been
installed already and the TAD probing will fail.

Avoid that by changing acpi_install_cmos_rtc_space_handler() to return
zero and acpi_remove_cmos_rtc_space_handler() to do nothing if the CMOS
RTC address space handler has been installed already.

commit 4b506ea5351a1f5937ac632a4a5c35f6f796cc41 upstream.

The HP OMEN 16 Gaming Laptop (board name 8A44) has a mux-less hybrid
GPU configuration with AMD Rembrandt (Radeon 680M) and NVIDIA GA104
(RTX 3070 Ti). The internal eDP panel is wired to the AMD iGPU.

When Nouveau loads without GSP firmware, the ACPI video backlight
device (acpi_video0) gets registered alongside the native AMD
backlight (amdgpu_bl2). In this state, writes to amdgpu_bl2 update
the software brightness value but fail to change the physical panel
brightness.

Force native backlight to prevent acpi_video0 from registering.
Confirmed that booting with acpi_backlight=native resolves the
issue.

<id>urn:sha1:70446f52251f241b1f215f9b913c5b8584760c68</id>
<content type='text'>
commit 75141a770f4f8225d316f6c7e146723a32e9720e upstream.

When concurrently bringing up and down two SMT threads of a physical
core, many warning call traces occur as below:

The issue timeline is as follows:

 1. When the system starts,
    cpufreq: CPU: 220, policy-&gt;related_cpus: 220-221, policy-&gt;cpus: 220-221

 2. Offline CPU 220 and CPU 221.

 3. Online CPU 220
    - CPU 221 is now offline, as acpi_get_psd_map() use
      for_each_online_cpu(), so the cpu_data-&gt;shared_cpu_map,
      policy-&gt;cpus, and related_cpus has only CPU 220.

    cpufreq: CPU: 220, policy-&gt;related_cpus: 220, policy-&gt;cpus: 220

 4. Offline CPU 220

 5. Online CPU 221, the below call trace occurs:
    - Since CPU 220 and CPU 221 share one policy, and
      policy-&gt;related_cpus = 220 after step 3, so CPU 221
      is not in policy-&gt;related_cpus but
      per_cpu(cpufreq_cpu_data, cpu221) is not NULL.

After reverting commit 56eb0c0ed345 ("ACPI: CPPC: Fix remaining
for_each_possible_cpu() to use online CPUs"), the issue disappeared.

The _PSD (P-State Dependency) defines the hardware-level dependency of
frequency control across CPU cores. Since this relationship is a physical
attribute of the hardware topology, it remains constant regardless of the
online or offline status of the CPUs.

Using for_each_online_cpu() in acpi_get_psd_map() is problematic. If a
CPU is offline, it will be excluded from the shared_cpu_map.
Consequently, if that CPU is brought online later, the kernel will fail
to recognize it as part of any shared frequency domain.

Switch back to for_each_possible_cpu() to ensure that all cores defined
in the ACPI tables are correctly mapped into their respective performance
domains from the start. This aligns with the logic of policy-&gt;related_cpus,
which must encompass all potentially available cores in the domain to
prevent logic gaps during CPU hotplug operations.

To resolve the original issue regarding the "nosmt" or "nosmt=force"
boot parameter, as send_pcc_cmd() function already does if (!desc)
continue, so reverting that loop back to for_each_possible_cpu() is ok,
only need to change the match_cpc_ptr NULL case in acpi_get_psd_map() to
continue as Sean suggested.

How to reproduce, on arm64 machine with SMT support which use acpi cppc
cpufreq driver:

	bash test.sh 220 &amp; bash test.sh 221 &amp;

	The test.sh is as below:
		while true
			do
			echo 0 &gt; /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu${1}/online
			sleep 0.5
			cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu${1}/cpufreq/related_cpus
			echo 1 &gt;  /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu${1}/online
			cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu${1}/cpufreq/related_cpus
		done

commit ad7997f5a01af6f711fe6b6a2df578b964109d49 upstream.

The Dell OptiPlex 7770 AIO needs the same quirk as the 7760 AIO. The
backlight can be controlled with the native controller, intel_backlight,
but not with dell_uart_backlight.

I dumped the DSDT using acpidump, acpixtract and iasl, and confirmed
that it contains the DELL0501 device. When loading the
dell_uart_backlight driver with `rmmod dell_uart_backlight`, `modprobe
dell_uart_backlight dyndbg`, it reports "Firmware version: GL_Re_V18".
