Pull ACPI and power management fixes from Rafael Wysocki: "All of these commits are fixes that have emerged recently and some of them fix bugs introduced during this merge window. Specifics: 1) ACPI-based PCI hotplug (ACPIPHP) fixes related to spurious events After the recent ACPIPHP changes we've seen some interesting breakage on a system that triggers device check notifications during boot for non-existing devices. Although those notifications are really spurious, we should be able to deal with them nevertheless and that shouldn't introduce too much overhead. Four commits to make that work properly. 2) Memory hotplug and hibernation mutual exclusion rework This was maent to be a cleanup, but it happens to fix a classical ABBA deadlock between system suspend/hibernation and ACPI memory hotplug which is possible if they are started roughly at the same time. Three commits rework memory hotplug so that it doesn't acquire pm_mutex and make hibernation use device_hotplug_lock which prevents it from racing with memory hotplug. 3) ACPI Intel LPSS (Low-Power Subsystem) driver crash fix The ACPI LPSS driver crashes during boot on Apple Macbook Air with Haswell that has slightly unusual BIOS configuration in which one of the LPSS device's _CRS method doesn't return all of the information expected by the driver. Fix from Mika Westerberg, for stable. 4) ACPICA fix related to Store->ArgX operation AML interpreter fix for obscure breakage that causes AML to be executed incorrectly on some machines (observed in practice). From Bob Moore. 5) ACPI core fix for PCI ACPI device objects lookup There still are cases in which there is more than one ACPI device object matching a given PCI device and we don't choose the one that the BIOS expects us to choose, so this makes the lookup take more criteria into account in those cases. 6) Fix to prevent cpuidle from crashing in some rare cases If the result of cpuidle_get_driver() is NULL, which can happen on some systems, cpuidle_driver_ref() will crash trying to use that pointer and the Daniel Fu's fix prevents that from happening. 7) cpufreq fixes related to CPU hotplug Stephen Boyd reported a number of concurrency problems with cpufreq related to CPU hotplug which are addressed by a series of fixes from Srivatsa S Bhat and Viresh Kumar. 8) cpufreq fix for time conversion in time_in_state attribute Time conversion carried out by cpufreq when user space attempts to read /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu*/cpufreq/stats/time_in_state won't work correcty if cputime_t doesn't map directly to jiffies. Fix from Andreas Schwab. 9) Revert of a troublesome cpufreq commit Commit 7c30ed5 (cpufreq: make sure frequency transitions are serialized) was intended to address some known concurrency problems in cpufreq related to the ordering of transitions, but unfortunately it introduced several problems of its own, so I decided to revert it now and address the original problems later in a more robust way. 10) Intel Haswell CPU models for intel_pstate from Nell Hardcastle. 11) cpufreq fixes related to system suspend/resume The recent cpufreq changes that made it preserve CPU sysfs attributes over suspend/resume cycles introduced a possible NULL pointer dereference that caused it to crash during the second attempt to suspend. Three commits from Srivatsa S Bhat fix that problem and a couple of related issues. 12) cpufreq locking fix cpufreq_policy_restore() should acquire the lock for reading, but it acquires it for writing.

mm: memory-hotplug: enable memory hotplug to handle hugepage

2013-09-11T22:57:48Z

Until now we can't offline memory blocks which contain hugepages because a hugepage is considered as an unmovable page. But now with this patch series, a hugepage has become movable, so by using hugepage migration we can offline such memory blocks. What's different from other users of hugepage migration is that we need to decompose all the hugepages inside the target memory block into free buddy pages after hugepage migration, because otherwise free hugepages remaining in the memory block intervene the memory offlining. For this reason we introduce new functions dissolve_free_huge_page() and dissolve_free_huge_pages(). Other than that, what this patch does is straightforwardly to add hugepage migration code, that is, adding hugepage code to the functions which scan over pfn and collect hugepages to be migrated, and adding a hugepage allocation function to alloc_migrate_target(). As for larger hugepages (1GB for x86_64), it's not easy to do hotremove over them because it's larger than memory block. So we now simply leave it to fail as it is.

mm/hotplug: remove stop_machine() from try_offline_node()

2013-09-11T22:57:41Z

lock_device_hotplug() serializes hotplug & online/offline operations. The lock is held in common sysfs online/offline interfaces and ACPI hotplug code paths. And here are the code paths: - CPU & Mem online/offline via sysfs online store_online()->lock_device_hotplug() - Mem online via sysfs state: store_mem_state()->lock_device_hotplug() - ACPI CPU & Mem hot-add: acpi_scan_bus_device_check()->lock_device_hotplug() - ACPI CPU & Mem hot-delete: acpi_scan_hot_remove()->lock_device_hotplug() try_offline_node() off-lines a node if all memory sections and cpus are removed on the node. It is called from acpi_processor_remove() and acpi_memory_remove_memory()->remove_memory() paths, both of which are in the ACPI hotplug code. try_offline_node() calls stop_machine() to stop all cpus while checking all cpu status with the assumption that the caller is not protected from CPU hotplug or CPU online/offline operations. However, the caller is always serialized with lock_device_hotplug(). Also, the code needs to be properly serialized with a lock, not by stopping all cpus at a random place with stop_machine(). This patch removes the use of stop_machine() in try_offline_node() and adds comments to try_offline_node() and remove_memory() that lock_device_hotplug() is required.

mm/hotplug: verify hotplug memory range

2013-09-11T22:57:39Z

add_memory() and remove_memory() can only handle a memory range aligned with section. There are problems when an unaligned range is added and then deleted as follows: - add_memory() with an unaligned range succeeds, but __add_pages() called from add_memory() adds a whole section of pages even though a given memory range is less than the section size. - remove_memory() to the added unaligned range hits BUG_ON() in __remove_pages(). This patch changes add_memory() and remove_memory() to check if a given memory range is aligned with section at the beginning. As the result, add_memory() fails with -EINVAL when a given range is unaligned, and does not add such memory range. This prevents remove_memory() to be called with an unaligned range as well. Note that remove_memory() has to use BUG_ON() since this function cannot fail.

mm/hotplug: remove unnecessary BUG_ON in __offline_pages()

2013-09-11T22:57:35Z

I think we can remove "BUG_ON(start_pfn >= end_pfn)" in __offline_pages(), because in memory_block_action() "nr_pages = PAGES_PER_SECTION * sections_per_block" is always greater than 0. memory_block_action() offline_pages() __offline_pages() BUG_ON(start_pfn >= end_pfn) In v2.6.32, If info->length==0, this way may hit this BUG_ON(). acpi_memory_disable_device() remove_memory(info->start_addr, info->length) offline_pages() A later Fujitsu patch renamed this function and the BUG_ON() is unnecessary.

PM / hibernate / memory hotplug: Rework mutual exclusion

2013-08-31T00:49:47Z

Since all of the memory hotplug operations have to be carried out under device_hotplug_lock, they won't need to acquire pm_mutex if device_hotplug_lock is held around hibernation. For this reason, make the hibernation code acquire device_hotplug_lock after freezing user space processes and release it before thawing them. At the same tim drop the lock_system_sleep() and unlock_system_sleep() calls from lock_memory_hotplug() and unlock_memory_hotplug(), respectively. Signed-off-by: Rafael J.
