* acpi-ec:
ACPI / EC: Work around method reentrancy limit in ACPICA for _Qxx
* acpi-button:
ACPI / button: remove pointer to old lid_sysfs on unbind
|

A regression is caused by the following commit:
Commit: 02b771b64b73226052d6e731a0987db3b47281e9
Subject: ACPI / EC: Fix an issue caused by the serialized _Qxx evaluations
In this commit, using system workqueue causes that the maximum parallel
executions of _Qxx can exceed 255. This violates the method reentrancy
limit in ACPICA and generates the following error log:
ACPI Error: Method reached maximum reentrancy limit (255) (20150818/dsmethod-341)
This patch creates a seperate workqueue and limits the number of parallel
_Qxx evaluations down to a configurable value (can be tuned against number
of online CPUs).
Since EC events are handled after driver probe, we can create the workqueue
in acpi_ec_init().

There is an order issue in ec_remove_handlers() that acpi_ec_stop()
is called before removing the operation region handler. That is
incorrect, because the operation region handler removal triggers
_REG(DISCONNECT) which may result in new EC transactions to carry
out.
That existing issue has been triggered by the following commit:
Commit: dcf15cbded656a12335bc4151f3f75f10080a375
Subject: ACPI / EC: Fix a boot EC regresion by restoring boot EC
which changed the driver to call ec_remove_handlers() after invoking
_REG(CONNECT), so the issue has become visible.

Our Windows probe result shows that EC._REG is evaluated after evaluating
all _INI/_STA control methods.
With boot EC always switched in acpi_ec_dsdt_probe(), we can see that as
long as there is no EC opregion accesses in the MLC (module level code, AML
code out of any control methods) and in _INI/_STA, there is no need to make
sure that ECDT must be correct.
Bugs of 9399/12461 were reported against an order issue that BAT0/1._STA
evaluations contain EC accesses while the ECDT setting is wrong.
>From the acpidump output posted on bug 9399, we can see that it is actually
a different issue. In this table, if EC._REG is not executed, EC accesses
will be done in a platform specific manner. As we've already ensured not to
execute EC._REG during the eary stage, we can remove the quirks for bug
9399.
From the acpidump output posted on bug 12461, we can see that it still
needs the quirk. In this table, EC._REG flags a named object whose default
value is One, thus BAT1._STA surely should invoke EC accesses whatever we
invoke EC._REG or not. We have to keep the quirk for it before we can root
cause the issue.

According to the Windows probing result, during the table loading, the EC
device described in the ECDT should be used. And the ECDT EC is also
effective during the period the namespace objects are initialized (we can
see a separate process executing _STA/_INI on Windows before executing
other device specific control methods, for example, EC._REG). During the
device enumration, the EC device described in the DSDT should be used. But
there are differences between Linux and Windows around the device probing
order. Thus in Linux, we should enable the DSDT EC as early as possible
before enumerating devices in order not to trigger issues related to the
device enumeration order differences.
This patch thus converts acpi_boot_ec_enable() into acpi_ec_dsdt_probe() to
fix the gap. This also fixes a user reported regression triggered after we
switched the "table loading"/"ECDT support" to be ACPI spec 2.0 compliant.

All operation region accesses are allowed by AML interpreter when AML is
executed, so actually BIOSen are responsible to avoid the operation region
accesses in AML before OSPM has prepared an operation region driver. This
is done via _REG control method. So AML code normally sets a global named
object REGC to 1 when _REG(3, 1) is evaluated.
Then what is ECDT? Quoting from ACPI spec 6.0, 5.2.15 Embedded Controller
Boot Resources Table (ECDT):
"The presence of this table allows OSPM to provide Embedded Controller
operation region space access before the namespace has been evaluated."
Spec also suggests a compatible mean to indicate the early EC access
availability:
Device (EC)
{
Name (REGC, Ones)
Method (_REG, 2)
{
If (LEqual (Arg0, 3))
{
Store (Arg1, REGC)
}
}
Method (ECAV)
{
If (LEqual (REGC, Ones))
{
If (LGreaterEqual (_REV, 2))
{
Return (One)
}
Else
{
Return (Zero)
}
}
Else
{
Return (REGC)
}
}
}
In this way, it allows EC accesses to happen before EC._REG(3, 1) is
invoked.
But ECAV is not the only way practical BIOSen using to indicate the early
EC access availibility, the known variations include:
1. Setting REGC to One in \_SB._INI when _REV >= 2. Since \_SB._INI is the
first control method evaluated by OSPM during the enumeration, this
allows EC accesses to happen for the entire enumeration process before
the namespace EC is enumerated.
2. Initialize REGC to One by default, this even allows EC accesses to
happen during the table loading.
Linux is now broken around ECDT support during the long term bug fixing
work because it has merged many wrong ECDT bug fixes (see details below).
Linux currently uses namespace EC's settings instead of ECDT settings when
ECDT is detected. This apparently will result in namespace walk and
_CRS/_GPE/_REG evaluations. Such stuffs could only happen after namespace
is ready, while ECDT is purposely to be used before namespace is ready.
The wrong bug fixing story is:
1. Link 1:
At Linux ACPI early stages, "no _Lxx/_Exx/_Qxx evaluation can happen
before the namespace is ready" are not ensured by ACPICA core and Linux.
This is currently ensured by deferred enabling of GPE and defered
registering of EC query methods (acpi_ec_register_query_methods).
2. Link 2:
Reporters reported buggy ECDTs, expecting quirks for the platform.
Originally, the quirk is simple, only doing things with ECDT.
Bug 9399 and 12461 are platforms (Asus L4R, Asus M6R, MSI MS-171F)
reported to have wrong ECDT IO port addresses, the port addresses are
reversed.
Bug 11880 is a platform (Asus X50GL) reported to have 0 valued port
addresses, we can see that all EC accesses are protected by ECAV on
this platform, so actually no early EC accesses is required by this
platform.
3. Link 3:
But when the bug fixing developer was requested to provide a handy and
non-quirk bug fix, he tried to use correct EC settings from namespace
and broke the spec purpose. We can even see that the developer was
suffered from many regrssions. One interesting one is 14086, where the
actual root cause obviously should be: _REG is evaluated too early. But
unfortunately, the bug is fixed in a totally wrong way.
So everything goes wrong from these commits:
Commit: c6cb0e878446c79f42e7833d7bb69ed6bfbb381f
Subject: ACPI: EC: Don't trust ECDT tables from ASUS
Commit: a5032bfdd9c80e0231a6324661e123818eb46ecd
Subject: ACPI: EC: Always parse EC device
This patch reverts Linux behavior to simple ECDT quirk support in order to
stop early _CRS/_GPE/_REG evaluations.
For Bug 9399, 12461, since it is reported that the platforms require early
EC accesses, this patch restores the simple ECDT quirks for them.
For Bug 11880, since it is not reported that the platform requires early EC
accesses and its ACPI tables contain correct ECAV, we choose an ECDT
enumeration failure for this platform.

This patch splits EC_FLAGS_HANDLERS_INSTALLED so that address space handler
can be installed when it is not possible to install GPE handler during
early stage.
This patch also tunes address space handler installation, making it
happening earlier than GPE handler installation for the same purpose.
Since acpi_ec_start()/acpi_ec_stop() will be entered multiple times after
applying this change, it is also required to protect acpi_enable_gpe()/
acpi_disable_gpe() invocations.

1. acpi_ec_remove_query_handlers()
This patch refines the query handler removal logic implemented in
acpi_ec_remove_query_handler(), making it to invoke new
acpi_ec_remove_query_handlers() API, and ensuring all other removal code
paths to invoke the new API to honor the reference count of the query
handlers.
2. acpi_ec_get_query_handler_by_value()
This patch also refines the query handler search logic originally
implemented in acpi_ec_query(), collecting it into
acpi_ec_get_query_handler_by_value(). And since schedule_work() can ensure
the serilization of acpi_ec_event_handler(), we needn't put the
mutex_lock() around schedule_work().

When query handler is not found, "result" is actually stil 0, and
"struct acpi_ec_query" is not NULL, so the deletion code of
"struct acpi_ec_query" at the end of the function cannot be invoked.
As a consequence, memory leak can be observed.

It is proven that Windows evaluates _Qxx handlers in a parallel way. This
patch follows this fact, splits _Qxx evaluations from the NOTIFY queue to
form a separate queue, so that _Qxx evaluations can be queued up on
different CPUs rather than being queued up on a CPU0 bound queue.
Event handling related callbacks are also renamed and sorted in this patch.

When the QR_EC transaction fails, the EC_FLAGS_QUERY_PENDING flag prevents
the event handling work queue from being scheduled again.
Though there shouldn't be failed QR_EC transactions, and this gap was
efficiently used for catching and learning the SCI_EVT clearing timing
compliance issues, we need to fix this as we are not fully compatible
with all platforms/Windows to handle SCI_EVT clearing timing correctly.
Fixing this gives the EC driver the chances to recover from a state machine
failure.
So this patch fixes this issue. When nr_pending_queries drops to 0, it
clears EC_FLAGS_QUERY_PENDING at the proper position for different modes in
order to ensure that the SCI_EVT handling can proceed.
In order to be clearer for future ec_event_clearing modes, all checks in
this patch are written in the inclusive style, not the exclusive style.

timing.
It is reported that on several platforms, EC firmware will not respond
non-expected QR_EC (see EC_FLAGS_QUERY_HANDSHAKE, only write QR_EC when
SCI_EVT is set).
Unfortunately, ACPI specification doesn't define when the SCI_EVT should be
cleared by the firmware, thus the original implementation queued up second
QR_EC right after writing QR_EC command and before reading the returned
event value as at that time the SCI_EVT is ensured not cleared. This
behavior is also based on the assumption that the firmware should be able
to return 0x00 to indicate "no outstanding event". This behavior did fix
issues on Samsung platforms where the spurious query value of 0x00 is
supported and didn't break platforms in my test queue.
But recently, specific Acer, Asus, Lenovo platforms keep on blaming this
change.
This patch changes the behavior to re-check the SCI_EVT a bit later and
removes EC_FLAGS_QUERY_HANDSHAKE quirks, hoping this is the Windows
compliant EC driver behavior.
In order to be robust to the possible regressions, instead of removing the
quirk directly, this patch keeps the quirk code, removes the quirk users
and keeps old behavior for Samsung platforms.

We've been suffering from the uncertainty of the SCI_EVT clearing timing.
This patch implements 3 of 4 possible modes to handle SCI_EVT clearing
variations. The old behavior is kept in this patch.
Status: QR_EC is re-checked as early as possible after checking previous
SCI_EVT. This always leads to 2 QR_EC transactions per SCI_EVT
indication and the target may implement event queue which returns
0x00 indicating "no outstanding event".
This is proven to be a conflict against Windows behavior, but is
still kept in this patch to make the EC driver robust to the
possible regressions that may occur on Samsung platforms.
Query: QR_EC is re-checked after the target has handled the QR_EC query
request command pushed by the host.
Event: QR_EC is re-checked after the target has noticed the query event
response data pulled by the host.
This timing is not determined by any IRQs, so we may need to use a
guard period in this mode, which may explain the existence of the
ec_guard() code used by the old EC driver where the re-check timing
is implemented in the similar way as this mode.
Method: QR_EC is re-checked as late as possible after completing the _Qxx
evaluation. The target may implement SCI_EVT like a level triggered
interrupt.
It is proven on kernel bugzilla 94411 that, Windows will have all
_Qxx evaluations parallelized. Thus unless required by further
evidences, we needn't implement this mode as it is a conflict of
the _Qxx parallelism requirement.
Note that, according to the reports, there are platforms that cannot be
handled using the "Status" mode without enabling the
EC_FLAGS_QUERY_HANDSHAKE quirk. But they can be handled with the other
modes according to the tests (kernel bugzilla 97381).
The following log entry can be used to confirm the differences of the 3
modes as it should appear at the different positions for the 3 modes:
Command(QR_EC) unblocked
Status: appearing after
EC_SC(W) = 0x84
Query: appearing after
EC_DATA(R) = 0xXX
where XX is the event number used to determine _QXX
Event: appearing after first
EC_SC(R) = 0xX0 SCI_EVT=x BURST=0 CMD=0 IBF=0 OBF=0
that is next to the following log entry:
Command(QR_EC) completed by hardware

During the period that a work queue is scheduled (queued up for run) but
hasn't been run, second schedule_work() could fail. This may not lead to
the loss of queries because QR_EC is always ensured to be submitted after
the work queue has been in the running state.
The event handling work queue can be changed into the loop style to allow
us to control the code in a more flexible way:
1. Makes it possible to add event=0x00 termination condition in the loop.
2. Increases the thoughput of the QR_EC transactions as the 2nd+ QR_EC
transactions may be handled in the same work item used for the 1st QR_EC
transaction, thus the delay caused by the 2nd+ work item scheduling can
be eliminated.
Except the logging message changes and the throughput improvement, this
patch is just a funcitonal no-op.

All udelay()/msleep() quirks for MSI/Quanta/Clevo seem to be the wrong
fixes generated without fixing the EC driver race issues.
And even if it is not wrong, the guarding can be covered by the following
commits in wait polling mode:
Commit: 9e295ac14d6a59180beed0735e6a504c2ee87761
Subject: ACPI / EC: Reduce ec_poll() by referencing the last register access timestamp.
Commit: commit in the same series
Subject: ACPI / EC: Fix and clean up register access guarding logics.
The only case that is not covered is the inter-transaction guarding. And
there is no evidence that we need the inter-transaction guarding upon
reading the noted bug entries.
So it is time to remove the quirks and let the users to try again. If there
is a regression, the only thing we need to do is to restore the
inter-transaction guarding for the reported platforms.

We have 2 polling modes in the EC driver:
1. busy polling: originally used for the MSI quirks. udelay() is used to
perform register access guarding.
2. wait polling: normal code path uses wait_event_timeout() and it can be
woken up as soon as the transaction is completed in the interrupt mode.
It also contains the register acces guarding logic in case the interrupt
doesn't arrive and the EC driver is about to advance the transaction in
task context (the polling mode).
The wait polling is useful for interrupt mode to allow other tasks to use
the CPU during the wait.
But for the polling mode, the busy polling takes less time than the wait
polling, because if no interrupt arrives, the wait polling has to wait the
minimal HZ interval.
We have a new use case for using the busy polling mode. Some GPIO drivers
initialize PIN configuration which cause a GPIO multiplexed EC GPE to be
disabled out of the GPE register's control. Busy polling mode is useful
here as it takes less time than the wait polling. But the guarding logic
prevents it from responding even faster. We should spinning around the EC
status rather than spinning around the nop execution lasted a determined
period.
This patch introduces 2 module params for the polling mode switch and the
guard time, so that users can use the busy polling mode without the
guarding in case the guarding is not necessary. This is an example to use
the 2 module params for this purpose:
acpi.ec_busy_polling acpi.ec_polling_guard=0
We've tested the patch on a test platform. The platform suffers from such
kind of the GPIO PIN issue. The GPIO driver resets all PIN configuration
and after that, EC interrupt cannot arrive because of the multiplexing.
Then the platform suffers from a long delay carried out by the
wait_event_timeout() as all further EC transactions will run in the polling

In the polling mode, EC driver shouldn't access the EC registers too
frequently. Though this statement is concluded from the non-root caused
bugs (see links below), we've maintained the register access guarding
logics in the current EC driver. The guarding logics can be found here and
there, makes it hard to root cause real timing issues. This patch collects
the guarding logics into one single function so that all hidden logics
related to this can be seen clearly.
The current guarding related code also has several issues:
1. Per-transaction timestamp prevents inter-transaction guarding from being
implemented in the same place. We have an inter-transaction udelay() in
acpi_ec_transaction_unblocked(), this logic can be merged into ec_poll()
if we can use per-device timestamp. This patch completes such merge to
form a new ec_guard() function and collects all guarding related hidden
logics in it.
One hidden logic is: there is no inter-transaction guarding performed
for non MSI quirk (wait polling mode), this patch skips
inter-transaction guarding before wait_event_timeout() for the wait
polling mode to reveal the hidden logic.
The other hidden logic is: there is msleep() inter-transaction guarding
performed when the GPE storming is observed. As after merging this
commit:
Commit: e1d4d90fc0313d3d58cbd7912c90f8ef24df45ff
Subject: ACPI / EC: Refine command storm prevention support
EC_FLAGS_COMMAND_STORM is ensured to be cleared after invoking
acpi_ec_transaction_unlocked(), the msleep() guard logic will never
happen now. Since no one complains such change, this logic is likely
added during the old times where the EC race issues are not fixed and
the bugs are false root-caused to the timing issue. This patch simply
removes the out-dated logic. We can restore it by stop skipping
inter-transaction guarding for wait polling mode.
Two different delay values are defined for msleep() and udelay() while
they are merged in this patch to 550us.
2. time_after() causes additional delay in the polling mode (can only be
observed in noirq suspend/resume processes where polling mode is always
used) before advance_transaction() is invoked ("wait polling" log is
added before wait_event_timeout()). We can see 2 wait_event_timeout()
invocations. This is because time_after() ensures a ">" validation while
we only need a ">=" validation here:

After cleaning up all guarding logics, we have one single function
ec_guard() collecting all old, non-root-caused, hidden logics. Then we can
easily tune the logics in one place to respond to the bug reports.
Except the time_before() change, all other changes do not change the
behavior of the EC driver.

Subject: ACPI: EC: Merge IRQ and POLL modes
The irqs_disabled() check introduced in it tries to fall into busy polling
mode when the context of ec_poll() cannot sleep.
Actually ec_poll() is ensured to be invoked in the contexts that can sleep
(from a sysfs /sys/kernel/debug/ec/ec0/io access, or from
acpi_evaluate_object(), or from acpi_ec_gpe_poller()). Without the MSI
quirk, we never saw the udelay() logic invoked. Thus this check is useless
and can be removed.

boundary of IRQ storming
=====: boundary of transaction advancement
*****: boundary of EC command
boundary of EC query
#####: boundary of EC _Qxx evaluation
The following 2 log entries are originally logged using pr_info() in order
to be used as the boot/suspend/resume log entries for the EC device, this
patch also restores them to pr_info() logging level:

This patch implementes the QR_EC flushing support.
Grace periods are implemented from the detection of an SCI_EVT to the
submission/completion of the QR_EC transaction. During this period, all
EC command transactions are allowed to be submitted.
Note that query periods and event periods are intentionally distiguished to
allow further improvements.
1. Query period: from the detection of an SCI_EVT to the sumission of the
QR_EC command. This period is used for storming prevention, as currently
QR_EC is deferred to a work queue rather than directly issued from the
IRQ context even there is no other transactions pending, so malicous
SCI_EVT GPE can act like "level triggered" to trigger a GPE storm. We
need to be prepared for this. And in the future, we may change it to be
a part of the advance_transaction() where we will try QR_EC submission
in appropriate positions to avoid such GPE storming.
2. Event period: from the detection of an SCI_EVT to the completion of the
QR_EC command. We may extend it to the completion of _Qxx evaluation.
This is actually a grace period for event flushing, but we only flush
queries due to the reason stated in known issue 1. That's also why we
use EC_FLAGS_EVENT_xxx. During this period, QR_EC transactions need to
pass the flushable submission check.
In this patch, the following flags are implemented:
1. EC_FLAGS_EVENT_ENABLED: this is derived from the old
EC_FLAGS_QUERY_PENDING flag which can block SCI_EVT handlings.
With this flag, the logics implemented by the original flag are
extended:
1. Old logic: unless both of the flags are set, the event poller will
not be scheduled, and
2. New logic: as soon as both of the flags are set, the evet poller will
be scheduled.
2. EC_FLAGS_EVENT_DETECTED: this is also derived from the old
EC_FLAGS_QUERY_PENDING flag which can block SCI_EVT detection. It thus
can be used to indicate the storming prevention period for query
submission.
acpi_ec_submit_request()/acpi_ec_complete_request() are invoked to
implement this period so that acpi_set_gpe() can be invoked under the
"reference count > 0" condition.
3. EC_FLAGS_EVENT_PENDING: this is newly added to indicate the grace period
for event flushing (query flushing for now).
acpi_ec_submit_request()/acpi_ec_complete_request() are invoked to
implement this period so that the flushing process can wait until the
event handling (query transaction for now) to be completed.

This patch refines EC command storm prevention support.
Current command storming code is wrong, when the storming condition is
detected, it only flags the condition without doing anything for the
current command but performing storming prevention for the follow-up
commands. So:
1. The first command which suffers from the storming still suffers from
storming.
2. The follow-up commands which may not suffer from the storming are
unconditionally forced into the storming prevention mode.
Ideally, we should only enable storm prevention immediately after detection
for the current command so that the next command can try the
power/performance efficient interrupt mode again.
This patch improves the command storm prevention by disabling GPE right
after the detection and re-enabling it right before completing the command
transaction using the GPE storming prevention APIs. This thus deploys the
following GPE handling model:
1. acpi_enable_gpe()/acpi_disable_gpe() for reference count changes:
This set of APIs are used for EC usage reference counting.
2. acpi_set_gpe(ACPI_GPE_ENABLE)/acpi_set_gpe(ACPI_GPE_DISABLE):
This set of APIs are used for preventing GPE storm. They must be invoked
when the reference count > 0.
Note that as the storming prevention should always happen when there is
an outstanding request, or GPE enabling value will be messed up by the
races. This patch also adds BUG_ON() to enforces this rule to prevent
future bugs.
The msleep(1) used after completing a transaction is useless now as this
sounds like a guard time only useful for platforms that need the
EC_FLAGS_MSI quirks while we have fixed GPE race issues using the previous
raw handler mode enabling. It is kept to avoid regressions. A seperate
patch which deletes EC_FLAGS_MSI quirks should take care of deleting it.

This patch implements the EC command flushing support.
During the grace period indicated by EC_FLAGS_STARTED and EC_FLAGS_STOPPED,
all submitted EC command transactions can be completed and new submissions
are prevented before suspending so that the EC hardware can be ensured to
be in the idle state when the system is resumed.
There is a good indicator for flush support:
All acpi_ec_submit_request() is invoked after checking driver state with
acpi_ec_started() except the first one. This means all code paths can be
flushed as fast as possible by discarding the requests occurred after the
flush operation. The reference increased for such kind of code path is
wrapped by acpi_ec_submit_flushable_request().

By using the 2 flags, we can indicate an inter-mediate state where the
current transactions should be completed while the new transactions should
be dropped.
The comparison of the old flag and the new flags:
Old New
about to set BLOCKED STOPPED set / STARTED set
BLOCKED set STOPPED clear / STARTED clear
BLOCKED clear STOPPED clear / STARTED set
A new period can be indicated by the 2 flags. The new period is between the
point where we are about to set BLOCKED and the point when the BLOCKED is
set. The new flags facilitate us with acpi_ec_started() check to allow the
EC transaction to be submitted during the new period. This period thus can
be used as a grace period for the EC transaction flushing.
The only functional change after applying this patch is:
1. The GPE enabling/disabling is protected by the EC specific lock. We can
do this because of recent ACPICA GPE API enhancement. This is reasonable
as the GPE disabling/enabling state should only be determined by the EC
driver's state machine which is protected by the EC spinlock.

Timeout in the ec_poll() doesn't refer to the last register access time. It
thus can win the competition against the acpi_ec_gpe_handler() if a
transaction takes longer than 1ms but individual register accesses are less
than 1ms. In some cases, it can make the following silicon bug easier to
be triggered:
GPE EN is not wired to the GPE trigger line, so when GPE STS is already
set when 1 is written to GPE EN, no GPE can be triggered.
This patch adds register access timestamp reference support for ec_poll()
to reduce the number of ec_poll() invocations.

ACPI_GPE_DISPATCH_RAW_HANDLER mode.
This patch switches EC driver into ACPI_GPE_DISPATCH_RAW_HANDLER mode where
the GPE lock is not held for acpi_ec_gpe_handler() and the ACPICA internal
GPE enabling/disabling/clearing operations are bypassed so that further
improvements are possible with the GPE APIs.
There are 2 strong reasons for deploying raw GPE handler mode in the EC
driver:
1. Some hardware logics can control their interrupts via their own
registers, so their interrupts can be disabled/enabled/acknowledged
without using the super IRQ controller provided functions. While there
is no mean (EC commands) for the EC driver to achieve this.
2. During suspending, the EC driver is still working for a while to
complete the platform firmware provided functionailities using ec_poll()
after all GPEs are disabled (see acpi_ec_block_transactions()), which
means the EC driver will drive the EC GPE out of the GPE core's control.
Without deploying the raw GPE handler mode, we can see many races between
the EC driver and the GPE core due to the above restrictions:
1. There is a race condition due to ACPICA internal GPE
disabling/clearing/enabling logics in acpi_ev_gpe_dispatch():
Orignally EC GPE is disabled (EN=0), cleared (STS=0) before invoking a
GPE handler and re-enabled (EN=1) after invoking a GPE handler in
acpi_ev_gpe_dispatch(). When re-enabling appears, GPE may be flagged
(STS=1).

EN=1
This race condition is the root cause of different issues on different
silicon variations.
A. Silicon variation A:
On some platforms, GPE will be triggered due to "writing 1 to EN when
STS=1". This is because both EN and STS lines are wired to the GPE
trigger line.
1. Issue 1:
We can see no-op acpi_ec_gpe_handler() invoked on such platforms.
This is because:
a. event pending B: An event can arrive after ACPICA's GPE
clearing performed in acpi_ev_gpe_dispatch(), this event may
fail to be detected by EC_SC read that is performed before its
arrival;
b. event handling B: The event can be handled in ec_poll() because
EC lock is released after acpi_ec_gpe_handler() invocation;
c. There is no code in ec_poll() to clear STS but the GPE can
still be triggered by the EN=1 write performed in
acpi_ev_finish_gpe(), this leads to a no-op EC GPE handler
invocation;
d. As no-op GPE handler invocations are counted by the EC driver
to trigger the command storming conditions, the wrong no-op
GPE handler invocations thus can easily trigger wrong command
storming conditions.
Note 1:
If we removed GPE disabling/enabling code from
acpi_ev_gpe_dispatch(), we could still see no-op GPE handlers
triggered by the event arriving after the GPE clearing and before
the GPE handling on both silicon variation A and B. This can only
occur if the CPU is very slow (timing slice between STS=0 write
and EC_SC read should be short enough before hardware sets another
GPE indication). Thus this is very rare and is not what we need to
fix.
B. Silicon variation B:
On other platforms, GPE may not be triggered due to "writing 1 to EN
when STS=1". This is because only STS line is wired to the GPE
trigger line.
2. Issue 2:
We can see GPE loss on such platforms. This is because:
a. event pending B vs. event handling A: An event can arrive after
ACPICA's GPE handling performed in acpi_ev_gpe_dispatch(), or
event pending C vs. event handling B: An event can arrive after
Linux's GPE handling performed in ec_poll(),
these events may fail to be detected by EC_SC read that is
performed before their arrival;
b. The GPE cannot be triggered by EN=1 write performed in
acpi_ev_finish_gpe();
c. If no polling mechanism is implemented in the driver for the
pending event (for example, SCI_EVT), this event is lost due to
no GPE being triggered.
Note 2:
On most platforms, there might be another rule that GPE may not be
triggered due to "writing 1 to STS when STS=1 and EN=1".
Then on silicon variation B, an even worse case is if the issue 2
event loss happens, further events may never trigger GPE again on
such platforms due to being blocked by the current STS=1. Unless
someone clears STS, all events have to be polled.
2. There is a race condition due to lacking in GPE status checking in EC
driver:
Originally, GPE status is checked in ACPICA core but not checked in
the GPE handler. Thus since the status checking and handling is not
locked, it can be interrupted by another handling path.

3. Issue 3:
We can see no-op acpi_ec_gpe_handler() invoked on both silicon
variation A and B. This is because:
a. event pending A: An event can arrive to trigger an EC GPE and
ACPICA checks it and is about to invoke the EC GPE handler;
b. event handling A: The event can be handled in ec_poll() because
EC lock is not held after the GPE status checking;
c. event handling B: Then when the EC GPE handler is invoked, it
becomes a no-op GPE handler invocation.
d. As no-op GPE handler invocations are counted by the EC driver
to trigger the command storming conditions, the wrong no-op
GPE handler invocations thus can easily trigger wrong command
storming conditions.
Note 3:
This no-op GPE handler invocation is rare because the time between
the IRQ arrival and the acpi_ec_gpe_handler() invocation is less than
the timeout value waited in ec_poll(). So most of the no-op GPE
handler invocations are caused by the reason described in issue 1.
3. There is a race condition due to ACPICA internal GPE clearing logic in
acpi_enable_gpe():
During runtime, acpi_enable_gpe() can be invoked by the EC storming
prevention code. When it is invoked, GPE may be flagged (STS=1).

4. Issue 4:
We can see GPE loss on both silicon variation A and B platforms.
This is because:
a. event pending B: An event can arrive right before ACPICA's GPE
clearing performed in acpi_enable_gpe();
b. If the GPE is cleared when GPE is disabled, then EN=1 write in
acpi_enable_gpe() cannot trigger this GPE;
c. If no polling mechanism is implemented in the driver for this
event (for example, SCI_EVT), this event is lost due to no GPE
being triggered.
Note 4:
Currently we don't have this issue, but after we switch the EC
driver into ACPI_GPE_DISPATCH_RAW_HANDLER mode, we need to take care
of handling this because the EN=1 write in acpi_ev_gpe_dispatch()
will be abandoned.
There might be more race issues for the current GPE handler usages. This is
because the EC IRQ's enabling/disabling/checking/clearing/handling
operations should be locked by a single lock that is under the EC driver's
control to achieve the serialization. Which means we need to invoke GPE
APIs with EC driver's lock held and all ACPICA internal GPE operations
related to the GPE handler should be abandoned. Invoking GPE APIs inside of
the EC driver lock and bypassing ACPICA internal GPE operations requires
the ACPI_GPE_DISPATCH_RAW_HANDLER mode where the same lock used by the APIs
are released prior than invoking the handlers. Otherwise, we can see dead
locks due to circular locking dependencies (see Reference below).
This patch then switches the EC driver into the
ACPI_GPE_DISPATCH_RAW_HANDLER mode so that it can perform correct GPE
operations using the GPE APIs:
1. Bypasses EN modifications performed in acpi_ev_gpe_dispatch() by
using acpi_install_gpe_raw_handler() and invoking all GPE APIs with EC
spin lock held. This can fix issue 1 as it makes a non frequent GPE
enabling/disabling environment.
2. Bypasses STS clearing performed in acpi_enable_gpe() by replacing
acpi_enable_gpe()/acpi_disable_gpe() with acpi_set_gpe(). This can fix
issue 4. And this can also help to fix issue 1 as it makes a no sudden
GPE clearing environment when GPE is frequently enabled/disabled.
3. Ensures STS acknowledged before handling by invoking acpi_clear_gpe()
in advance_transaction(). This can finally fix issue 1 even in a
frequent GPE enabling/disabling environment. And this can also finally
fix issue 3 when issue 2 is fixed.
Note 3:
GPE clearing is edge triggered W1C, which means we can clear it right
before handling it. Since all EC GPE indications are handled in
advance_transaction() by previous commits, we can now move GPE clearing
into it to implement the correct GPE clearing.
Note 4:
We can use acpi_set_gpe() which is not shared GPE safer instead of
acpi_enable_gpe()/acpi_disable_gpe() because EC GPE is not shared by
other hardware, which is mentioned in the ACPI specification 5.0, 12.6
Interrupt Model: "OSPM driver treats this as an edge event (the EC SCI
cannot be shared)". So we can stop using shared GPE safer APIs
acpi_enable_gpe()/acpi_disable_gpe() in the EC driver. Otherwise
cleanups need to be made in acpi_ev_enable_gpe() to bypass the GPE
clearing logic before keeping acpi_enable_gpe().
This patch also invokes advance_transaction() when GPE is re-enabled in the
task context which:
1. Ensures EN=1 can trigger GPE by checking and handling EC status register
right after EN=1 writes. This can fix issue 2.
After applying this patch, without frequent GPE enablings considered:

The event pending for issue 1 (event pending B) can arrive as a next GPE
due to the previous IRQ context STS=0 write. And if it is handled by
ec_poll() (event handling B), as it is also acknowledged by ec_poll(), the
event pending for issue 2 (event pending C) can properly arrive as a next
GPE after the task context STS=0 write. So no GPE will be lost and never
triggered due to GPE clearing performed in the wrong position. And since
all GPE handling is performed after a locked GPE status checking, we can
hardly see no-op GPE handler invocations due to issue 1 and 3. We may still
see no-op GPE handler invocations due to "Note 1", but as it is inevitable,
it needn't be fixed.

*****************************************************************
The event pending for issue 2 can be manually handled by
advance_transaction(). And after the STS=0 write performed in the manual
triggered advance_transaction(), GPE can always arrive. So no GPE will be
lost due to frequent GPE disabling/enabling performed in the driver like
issue 4.
Note 5:
It's ideally when EN=1 write occurred, an IRQ thread should be woken up to
handle the GPE when the GPE was raised. But this requires the IRQ thread to
contain the poller code for all EC GPE indications, while currently some of
the indications are handled in the user tasks. It then is very hard for the
code to determine whether a user task should be invoked or the poller work
item should be scheduled. So we have to invoke advance_transaction()
directly now and it leaves us such a restriction for the GPE re-enabling:
it must be performed in the task context to avoid starving the GPEs.
As a conclusion: we can see the EC GPE is always handled in serial after
deploying the raw GPE handler mode:
Lock(EC)
if (STS==1)
STS=0
EC_SC read
EC_SC handled
Unlock(EC)
The EC driver specific lock is responsible to make the EC GPE handling
processes serialized so that EC can handle its GPE from both IRQ and task
contexts and the next IRQ can be ensured to arrive after this process.
Note 6:
We have many EC_FLAGS_MSI qurik users in the current driver. They all seem
to be suffering from unexpected GPE triggering source lost. And they are
false root caused to a timing issue. Since EC communication protocol has
already flow control defined, timing shouldn't be the root cause, while
this fix might be fixing the root cause of the old bugs.

The QR_EC related code pieces have redundants, this patch merges them into
acpi_ec_query() which invokes acpi_ec_transaction() where EC mutex and the
global lock are already held. After doing so, query handler traversal still
need to be locked by EC mutex after invoking acpi_ec_transaction().
Note that EC event handling is sequential. We fetch one event from firmware
event queue and process it until 0x00 or error returned. So we don't need
to hold mutex for whole acpi_ec_clear() process to determine whether we
should continue to drain. And for the same reason, we don't need to hold
mutex for the whole procedure from the QR_EC transaction to the query
handler traversal.

This patch fixes 2 issues related to the draining behavior. But it doesn't
implement the draining support, it only cleans up code so that further
draining support is possible.
The draining behavior is expected by some platforms (for example, Samsung)
where SCI_EVT is set only once for a set of events and might be cleared for
the very first QR_EC command issued after SCI_EVT is set. EC firmware on
such platforms will return 0x00 to indicate "no outstanding event". Thus
after seeing an SCI_EVT indication, EC driver need to fetch events until
0x00 returned (see acpi_ec_clear()).
Issue 1 - acpi_ec_submit_query():
It's reported on Samsung laptops that SCI_EVT isn't checked when the
transactions are advanced in ec_poll(), which leads to SCI_EVT triggering
source lost:
If no EC GPE IRQs are arrived after that, EC driver cannot detect this
event and handle it.
See comment 244/247 for kernel bugzilla 44161.
This patch fixes this issue by moving SCI_EVT checks into
advance_transaction(). So that SCI_EVT is checked each time we are going to
handle the EC firmware indications. And this check will happen for both IRQ
context and task context.
Since after doing that, SCI_EVT is also checked after completing a
transaction, ec_check_sci() and ec_check_sci_sync() can be removed.
Issue 2 - acpi_ec_complete_query():
We expect to clear EC_FLAGS_QUERY_PENDING to allow queuing another draining
QR_EC after writing a QR_EC command and before reading the event. After
reading the event, SCI_EVT might be cleared by the firmware, thus it may
not be possible to queue such a draining QR_EC at that time.
But putting the EC_FLAGS_QUERY_PENDING clearing code after
start_transaction() is wrong as there are chances that after
start_transaction(), QR_EC can fail to be sent. If this happens,
EC_FLAG_QUERY_PENDING will be cleared earlier. As a consequence, the
draining QR_EC will also be queued earlier than expected.
This patch also moves this code into advance_transaction() where QR_EC is
just sent (ACPI_EC_COMMAND_POLL flagged) to fix this issue.
Notes:
1. After introducing the 2 SCI_EVT related handlings into
advance_transaction(), a next QR_EC can be queued right after writing
the current QR_EC command and before reading the event. But this still
hasn't implemented the draining behavior as the draining support
requires:
If a previous returned event value isn't 0x00, a draining QR_EC need
to be issued even when SCI_EVT isn't set.
2. In this patch, acpi_os_execute() is also converted into a seperate work
item to avoid invoking kmalloc() in the atomic context. We can do this
because of the previous global lock fix.
3. Originally, EC_FLAGS_EVENT_PENDING is also used to avoid queuing up
multiple work items (created by acpi_os_execute()), this can be covered
by only using a single work item. But this patch still keeps this flag
as there are different usages in the driver initialization steps relying
on this flag.

Currently QR_EC is queued up on CPU 0 to be safe with SMM because there is
no global lock held for acpi_ec_gpe_query(). As we are about to move QR_EC
to a non CPU 0 bound work queue to avoid invoking kmalloc() in
advance_transaction(), we have to acquire global lock for the new QR_EC
work item to avoid regressions.
Known issue:
1. Global lock for acpi_ec_clear().
This is an existing issue that acpi_ec_clear() which invokes
acpi_ec_sync_query() also suffers from the same issue. But this patch's
target is only the code to invoke acpi_ec_sync_query() in a CPU 0 bound
work queue item, and the acpi_ec_clear() can be automatically fixed by
further patch that merges the redundant code, so it is left unchanged.

that acpi_disable_gpe() is invoked unexpectedly to reduce the GPE runtime

platforms.

Samsung and Acer.
It is reported that Samsung laptops that need to poll events are broken by
the following commit:
Commit 3afcf2ece453e1a8c2c6de19cdf06da3772a1b08
Subject: ACPI / EC: Add support to disallow QR_EC to be issued when SCI_EVT isn't set
The behaviors of the 2 vendor firmwares are conflict:
1. Acer: OSPM shouldn't issue QR_EC unless SCI_EVT is set, firmware
automatically sets SCI_EVT as long as there is event queued up.
2. Samsung: OSPM should issue QR_EC whatever SCI_EVT is set, firmware
returns 0 when there is no event queued up.
This patch is a quick fix to distinguish the behaviors to make Acer
behavior only effective for Acer EC firmware so that the breakages on
Samsung EC firmware can be avoided.
