commit c0d653412fc8450370167a3268b78fc772ff9c87 upstream.

There is a race condition in ec_transaction_completed().

When ec_transaction_completed() is called in the GPE handler, it could
return true because of (ec-&gt;curr == NULL). Then the wake_up() invocation
could complete the next command unexpectedly since there is no lock between
the 2 invocations. With the previous cleanup, the IBF=0 waiter race need
not be handled any more. It's now safe to return a flag from
advance_condition() to indicate the requirement of wakeup, the flag is
returned from a locked context.

The ec_transaction_completed() is now only invoked by the ec_poll() where
the ec-&gt;curr is ensured to be different from NULL.

After cleaning up, the EVT_SCI=1 check should be moved out of the wakeup
condition so that an EVT_SCI raised with (ec-&gt;curr == NULL) can trigger a
QR_SC command.

commit 9b80f0f73ae1583c22325ede341c74195847618c upstream.

After we've added the first command byte write into advance_transaction(),
the IBF=0 waiter is duplicated with the command completion waiter
implemented in the ec_poll() because:
   If IBF=1 blocked the first command byte write invoked in the task
   context ec_poll(), it would be kicked off upon IBF=0 interrupt or timed
   out and retried again in the task context.

Remove this seperate and duplicate IBF=0 waiter.  By doing so we can
reduce the overall number of times to access the EC_SC(R) status
register.

<title>ACPI / EC: Add asynchronous command byte write support</title>

<id>urn:sha1:0d501bcbf1c16c5c7f751e2a156b73a64036aeaf</id>
<content type='text'>
commit f92fca0060fc4dc9227342d0072d75df98c1e5a5 upstream.

Move the first command byte write into advance_transaction() so that all
EC register accesses that can affect the command processing state machine
can happen in this asynchronous state machine advancement function.

The advance_transaction() function then can be a complete implementation
of an asyncrhonous transaction for a single command so that:
 1. The first command byte can be written in the interrupt context;
 2. The command completion waiter can also be used to wait the first command
    byte's timeout;
 3. In BURST mode, the follow-up command bytes can be written in the
    interrupt context directly, so that it doesn't need to return to the
    task context. Returning to the task context reduces the throughput of
    the BURST mode and in the worst cases where the system workload is very
    high, this leads to the hardware driven automatic BURST mode exit.

In order not to increase memory consumption, convert 'done' into 'flags'
to contain multiple indications:
 1. ACPI_EC_COMMAND_COMPLETE: converting from original 'done' condition,
    indicating the completion of the command transaction.
 2. ACPI_EC_COMMAND_POLL: indicating the availability of writing the first
    command byte. A new command can utilize this flag to compete for the
    right of accessing the underlying hardware. There is a follow-up bug
    fix that has utilized this new flag.

The 2 flags are important because it also reflects a key concept of IO
programs' design used in the system softwares. Normally an IO program
running in the kernel should first be implemented in the asynchronous way.
And the 2 flags are the most common way to implement its synchronous
operations on top of the asynchronous operations:
1. POLL: This flag can be used to block until the asynchronous operations
         can happen.
2. COMPLETE: This flag can be used to block until the asynchronous
             operations have completed.
By constructing code cleanly in this way, many difficult problems can be
solved smoothly.

<id>urn:sha1:44160b7a6ba87f058178230876f47efcd4eba14c</id>
<content type='text'>
commit 66b42b78bc1e816f92b662e8888c89195e4199e1 upstream.

The advance_transaction() will be invoked from the IRQ context GPE handler
and the task context ec_poll(). The handling of this function is locked so
that the EC state machine are ensured to be advanced sequentially.

But there is a problem. Before invoking advance_transaction(), EC_SC(R) is
read. Then for advance_transaction(), there could be race condition around
the lock from both contexts. The first one reading the register could fail
this race and when it passes the stale register value to the state machine
advancement code, the hardware condition is totally different from when
the register is read. And the hardware accesses determined from the wrong
hardware status can break the EC state machine. And there could be cases
that the functionalities of the platform firmware are seriously affected.
For example:
 1. When 2 EC_DATA(W) writes compete the IBF=0, the 2nd EC_DATA(W) write may
    be invalid due to IBF=1 after the 1st EC_DATA(W) write. Then the
    hardware will either refuse to respond a next EC_SC(W) write of the next
    command or discard the current WR_EC command when it receives a EC_SC(W)
    write of the next command.
 2. When 1 EC_SC(W) write and 1 EC_DATA(W) write compete the IBF=0, the
    EC_DATA(W) write may be invalid due to IBF=1 after the EC_SC(W) write.
    The next EC_DATA(R) could never be responded by the hardware. This is
    the root cause of the reported issue.

Fix this issue by moving the EC_SC(R) access into the lock so that we can
ensure that the state machine is advanced consistently.

<title>ACPI / EC: Process rather than discard events in acpi_ec_clear</title>

<id>urn:sha1:92c2df53a32daea0cc2c98d377bf4a5be8c7d934</id>

commit 3eba563e280101209bad27d40bfc83ddf1489234 upstream.

Address a regression caused by commit ad332c8a4533:
(ACPI / EC: Clear stale EC events on Samsung systems)

After the earlier patch, there was found to be a race condition on some
earlier Samsung systems (N150/N210/N220). The function acpi_ec_clear was
sometimes discarding a new EC event before its GPE was triggered by the
system. In the case of these systems, this meant that the "lid open"
event was not registered on resume if that was the cause of the wake,
leading to problems when attempting to close the lid to suspend again.

After testing on a number of Samsung systems, both those affected by the
previous EC bug and those affected by the race condition, it seemed that
the best course of action was to process rather than discard the events.
On Samsung systems which accumulate stale EC events, there does not seem
to be any adverse side-effects of running the associated _Q methods.

This patch adds an argument to the static function acpi_ec_sync_query so
that it may be used within the acpi_ec_clear loop in place of
acpi_ec_query_unlocked which was used previously.

With thanks to Stefan Biereigel for reporting the issue, and for all the
people who helped test the new patch on affected systems.

<id>urn:sha1:ad332c8a45330d170bb38b95209de449b31cd1b4</id>
<content type='text'>
A number of Samsung notebooks (530Uxx/535Uxx/540Uxx/550Pxx/900Xxx/etc)
continue to log events during sleep (lid open/close, AC plug/unplug,
battery level change), which accumulate in the EC until a buffer fills.
After the buffer is full (tests suggest it holds 8 events), GPEs stop
being triggered for new events. This state persists on wake or even on
power cycle, and prevents new events from being registered until the EC
is manually polled.

This is the root cause of a number of bugs, including AC not being
detected properly, lid close not triggering suspend, and low ambient
light not triggering the keyboard backlight. The bug also seemed to be
responsible for performance issues on at least one user's machine.

Juan Manuel Cabo found the cause of bug and the workaround of polling
the EC manually on wake.

The loop which clears the stale events is based on an earlier patch by
Lan Tianyu (see referenced attachment).

This patch:
 - Adds a function acpi_ec_clear() which polls the EC for stale _Q
   events at most ACPI_EC_CLEAR_MAX (currently 100) times. A warning is
   logged if this limit is reached.
 - Adds a flag EC_FLAGS_CLEAR_ON_RESUME which is set to 1 if the DMI
   system vendor is Samsung. This check could be replaced by several
   more specific DMI vendor/product pairs, but it's likely that the bug
   affects more Samsung products than just the five series mentioned
   above. Further, it should not be harmful to run acpi_ec_clear() on
   systems without the bug; it will return immediately after finding no
   data waiting.
 - Runs acpi_ec_clear() on initialisation (boot), from acpi_ec_add()
 - Runs acpi_ec_clear() on wake, from acpi_ec_unblock_transactions()

<id>urn:sha1:8b48463f89429af408ff695244dc627e1acff4f7</id>
<content type='text'>
Replace direct inclusions of &lt;acpi/acpi.h&gt;, &lt;acpi/acpi_bus.h&gt; and
&lt;acpi/acpi_drivers.h&gt;, which are incorrect, with &lt;linux/acpi.h&gt;
inclusions and remove some inclusions of those files that aren't
necessary.

First of all, &lt;acpi/acpi.h&gt;, &lt;acpi/acpi_bus.h&gt; and &lt;acpi/acpi_drivers.h&gt;
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,
&lt;linux/acpi.h&gt; 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 &lt;acpi/acpi_bus.h&gt; be included
prior to &lt;acpi/acpi_drivers.h&gt; so that the acpi_pci_root declarations the
latter depends on are always there.  And &lt;acpi/acpi.h&gt; 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
