      ACPI / Battery: Return -ENODEV for unknown values in get_property() · a1b4bd69
      Rafael J. Wysocki authored 
      The function acpi_battery_get_property() is called by the
power supply framework's function power_supply_show_property()
implementing the sysfs interface for power supply devices as the
ACPI battery driver's ->get_property() callback.  Thus it is supposed
to return error code if the value of the given property is unknown.
Unfortunately, however, it returns 0 in those cases and puts a
wrong (negative) value into the intval field of the
union power_supply_propval object provided by
power_supply_show_property().  In consequence, wrong negative
values are read by user space from the battery's sysfs files.

Fix this by making acpi_battery_get_property() return -ENODEV
for properties with unknown values (-ENODEV is returned, because
power_supply_uevent() returns with error for any other error code
returned by power_supply_show_property()).

      ACPI / PM: Fix reference counting of power resources · 3e384ee6
      Rafael J. Wysocki authored 
      The reference counting of ACPI power resources is currently broken
for a few reasons.  First, instead of using a simple reference
counter per power resource it uses a list of objects representing
refereces to the given power resource from devices.  This leads to
the second breakage, because it prevents power resources from
being referenced more than once by one device, which is necessary
if the device is configured to signal wakeup.  Namely, when putting
the device into a low power state we first call
acpi_enable_wakeup_device_power() that should reference count power
resources needed for signaling wakeup and then we call
acpi_power_transition() to power off the device.  The latter call
drops references to the device's power resources, possibly including
the ones added by acpi_enable_wakeup_device_power(), so the device
can't signal wakeup as a result.  Apart from this, the locking
in acpi_power_on() and acpi_power_off_device() doesn't prevent
all possible races from happening, which may be problematic for
runtime PM and asynchronous suspend and resume.

Fix the problem by using a counter for power resources reference
counting and putting the evaluation of ACPI _ON and _OFF methods
under the power resource mutex.

      Subject: [PATCH] ACPICA: Fix Scope() op in module level code · 8df3fc98
      Bob Moore authored 
      Some Panasonic Toughbooks create nodes in module level code.
Module level code is the executable AML code outside of control method,
for example, below AML code creates a node \_SB.PCI0.GFX0.DD02.CUBL

        If (\_OSI ("Windows 2006"))
        {
            Scope (\_SB.PCI0.GFX0.DD02)
            {
                Name (CUBL, Ones)
                ...
            }
        }

Scope() op does not actually create a new object, it refers to an
existing object(\_SB.PCI0.GFX0.DD02 in above example). However, for
Scope(), we want to indeed open a new scope, so the child nodes(CUBL in
above example) can be created correctly under it.

      ACPI battery: support percentage battery remaining capacity · 557d5868
      Zhang Rui authored 
      According to the ACPI spec, some kinds of primary battery can
report percentage battery remaining capacity directly to OS.

In this case, it reports the LastFullChargedCapacity == 100,
BatteryPresentRate = 0xFFFFFFFF, and BatteryRemaingCapacity a
percentage value, which actually means RemainingBatteryPercentage.

Now we found some battery follows this rule even if it's a rechargeable.
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15979

Handle these batteries correctly in ACPI battery driver
so that they won't break userspace.

      ACPI: Make Embedded Controller command timeout delay configurable · 7a18e96d
      Thomas Renninger authored 
      Here and then there show up machines which need higher timeout values.
Finding this on affected machines can be cumbersome, because
ACPI_EC_DELAY is a compile option -> make it configurable via boot param.

This can even be provided writable at runtime via:
/sys/modules/acpi/parameters/ec_delay

Known machines where this helps:
Some HP machines where for whatever reasons specific EC accesses take
very long at resume from S3 (in _WAK function).
The AE_TIME error is passed upwards and the ACPI interpreter will
not execute the rest of the _WAK function which results in not properly
initialized devices/variables with different side-effects.

Afaik, on some MSI machines this helped as well.

If this param is needed there probably are underlying problems like:
  - EC firmware bug
  - A kernel EC driver bug
  - An ACPI interpreter behavior (e.g. timings when specific
    EC accesses happen and how) which the EC does not like
  - ...
which should get evaluated further, but often are nasty or
impossible to fix from OS side.
