ACPI and power management fixes for 3.12-rc1 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. Fix from Lan Tianyu. /

vfio-v3.12-rc0dac09b57 · ·
VFIO updates include safer default file flags for VFIO device fds, an external user interface exported to allow other modules to hold references to VFIO groups, a fix to test for extended config space on PCIe and PCI-x, and new hot reset interfaces for PCI devices which allows the user to do PCI bus/slot resets when all of the devices affected by the reset are owned by the user. For this last feature, the PCI bus reset interface, I depend on changes already merged from Bjorn's PCI pull request. I therefore merged my tree up to commit cb3e433, which I think was the correct action, but as Stephen Rothwell noted, I failed to provide a commit message indicating why the merge was required. Sorry for that. Thanks, Alex

gpio-v3.12-165d87656 · ·
This is the bulk of GPIO changes for the v3.12 series: - A new driver for the TZ1090 PDC which is used on the metag architecture. - A new driver for the Kontron ETX or COMexpress GPIO block. This is found on some ETX x86 devices. - A new driver for the Fintek Super-I/O chips, used on some x86 boards. - Added device tree probing on a few select GPIO blocks. - Drop the Exynos support from the Samsung GPIO driver. The Samsung maintainers have moved over to use the modernized pin control driver to provide GPIO for the modern platforms instead. - The usual bunch of non-critical fixes and cleanups.

pinctrl-v3.12-1c9e3b2d8 · ·
Bulk pin control changes for the v3.12 series: - Refactorings for generic pin config handling in the core. - Factor out a set of device tree utilities for use in all drivers, to parse and allocate maps from the device tree. - Some fixes to the core such as more nitpicky locking. - Pushed down config array iteration into the drivers. This patch is necessary for drivers that want to iterate over configs and pile up a stack of alterations to the same register(s), or if the driver wants to take a local spinlock when committing the configuration. - A new driver for the Texas Instruments Palmas PMIC by Laxman Dewangan. This is used on the Tegra systems. - A major cleanup and modernization of the PFC (Super Hitachi and ARM SHmobile) pin controller and subdrivers. - Support for the A20 and A31 sunxi (AllWinner) SoCs. - A huge pile of fixes and cleanups: Axel Lin, Jingoo Han Dan Carpenter, Julia Lawall and Sachin Kamat did an excellent job here.

ACPI and power management updates for 3.12-rc1 1) ACPI-based PCI hotplug (ACPIPHP) subsystem rework and introduction of Intel Thunderbolt support on systems that use ACPI for signalling Thunderbolt hotplug events. This also should make ACPIPHP work in some cases in which it was known to have problems. From Rafael J Wysocki, Mika Westerberg and Kirill A Shutemov. 2) ACPI core code cleanups and dock station support cleanups from Jiang Liu and Rafael J Wysocki. 3) Fixes for locking problems related to ACPI device hotplug from Rafael J Wysocki. 4) ACPICA update to version 20130725 includig fixes, cleanups, support for more than 256 GPEs per GPE block and a change to make the ACPI PM Timer optional (we've seen systems without the PM Timer in the field already). One of the fixes, related to the DeRefOf operator, is necessary to prevent some Windows 8 oriented AML from causing problems to happen. From Bob Moore, Lv Zheng, and Jung-uk Kim. 5) Removal of the old and long deprecated /proc/acpi/event interface and related driver changes from Thomas Renninger. 6) ACPI and Xen changes to make the reduced hardware sleep work with the latter from Ben Guthro. 7) ACPI video driver cleanups and a blacklist of systems that should not tell the BIOS that they are compatible with Windows 8 (or ACPI backlight and possibly other things will not work on them). From Felipe Contreras. 8) Assorted ACPI fixes and cleanups from Aaron Lu, Hanjun Guo, Kuppuswamy Sathyanarayanan, Lan Tianyu, Sachin Kamat, Tang Chen, Toshi Kani, and Wei Yongjun. 9) cpufreq ondemand governor target frequency selection change to reduce oscillations between min and max frequencies (essentially, it causes the governor to choose target frequencies proportional to load) from Stratos Karafotis. 10) cpufreq fixes allowing sysfs attributes file permissions to be preserved over suspend/resume cycles Srivatsa S Bhat. 11) Removal of Device Tree parsing for CPU device nodes from multiple cpufreq drivers that required some changes related to of_get_cpu_node() to be made in a few architectures and in the driver core. From Sudeep KarkadaNagesha. 12) cpufreq core fixes and cleanups related to mutual exclusion and driver module references from Viresh Kumar, Lukasz Majewski and Rafael J Wysocki. 13) Assorted cpufreq fixes and cleanups from Amit Daniel Kachhap, Bartlomiej Zolnierkiewicz, Hanjun Guo, Jingoo Han, Joseph Lo, Julia Lawall, Li Zhong, Mark Brown, Sascha Hauer, Stephen Boyd, Stratos Karafotis, and Viresh Kumar. 14) Fixes to prevent race conditions in coupled cpuidle from happening from Colin Cross. 15) cpuidle core fixes and cleanups from Daniel Lezcano and Tuukka Tikkanen. 16) Assorted cpuidle fixes and cleanups from Daniel Lezcano, Geert Uytterhoeven, Jingoo Han, Julia Lawall, Linus Walleij, and Sahara. 17) System sleep tracing changes from Todd E Brandt and Shuah Khan. 18) PNP subsystem conversion to using struct dev_pm_ops for power management from Shuah Khan. /
