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()

Replace direct inclusions of <acpi/acpi.h>, <acpi/acpi_bus.h> and
<acpi/acpi_drivers.h>, which are incorrect, with <linux/acpi.h>
inclusions and remove some inclusions of those files that aren't
necessary.
First of all, <acpi/acpi.h>, <acpi/acpi_bus.h> and <acpi/acpi_drivers.h>
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,
<linux/acpi.h> 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 <acpi/acpi_bus.h> be included
prior to <acpi/acpi_drivers.h> so that the acpi_pci_root declarations the
latter depends on are always there. And <acpi/acpi.h> 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
<linux/acpi.h> as appropriate.

The EC driver works abnormally with IBF flag always set.
IBF means "The host has written a byte of data to the command
or data port, but the embedded controller has not yet read it".
If IBF is set in the EC status and not cleared, this will cause
all subsequent EC requests to fail with a timeout error.
Change the EC driver so that it doesn't refuse to restart a
transaction if IBF is set in the status. Also increase the
number of transaction restarts to 5, as it turns out that 2
is not sufficient in some cases.
This bug happens on several different machines (Asus V1S,
Dell Latitude E6530, Samsung R719, Acer Aspire 5930G,
Sony Vaio SR19VN and others).

The Linux EC driver includes a mechanism to detect GPE storms,
and switch from interrupt-mode to polling mode. However, polling
mode sometimes doesn't work, so the workaround is problematic.
Also, different systems seem to need the threshold for detecting
the GPE storm at different levels.
ACPI_EC_STORM_THRESHOLD was initially 20 when it's created, and
was changed to 8 in 2.6.28 commit 06cf7d3c7 "ACPI: EC: lower interrupt storm
threshold" to fix kernel bug 11892 by forcing the laptop in that bug to
work in polling mode. However in bug 45151, it works fine in interrupt
mode if we lift the threshold back to 20.
This patch makes the threshold a module parameter so that user has a
flexible option to debug/workaround this issue.
The default is unchanged.
This is also a preparation patch to fix specific systems:

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.

There still is a race that may result in suspending the system in
the middle of an EC transaction in progress, which leads to problems
(like the kernel thinking that the ACPI global lock is held during
resume while in fact it's not).
To remove the race condition, modify the ACPI platform suspend and
hibernate callbacks so that EC transactions are blocked right after
executing the _PTS global control method and are allowed to happen
again right after the low-level wakeup.
Introduce acpi_pm_freeze() that will disable GPEs, wait until the
event queues are empty and block EC transactions. Use it wherever
GPEs are disabled in preparation for switching local interrupts off.
Introduce acpi_pm_thaw() that will allow EC transactions to happen
again and enable runtime GPEs. Use it to balance acpi_pm_freeze()
wherever necessary.
In addition to that use acpi_ec_resume_transactions_early() to
unblock EC transactions as early as reasonably possible during
resume. Also unblock EC transactions in acpi_hibernation_finish()
and in the analogous suspend routine to make sure that the EC
transactions are enabled in all error paths.

percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which
in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.
percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for
this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion
needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
used as the basis of conversion.
http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py
The script does the followings.
* Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used,
gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.
* When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains
core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
doesn't seem to be any matching order.
* If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
file.
The conversion was done in the following steps.
1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400
files.
2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion,
some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added
inclusions to around 150 files.
3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.
4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.
5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h
inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each
slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
necessary.
6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.
7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).
* x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
* powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
* sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
* ia64 SMP allmodconfig
* s390 SMP allmodconfig
* alpha SMP allmodconfig
* um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig
8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
a separate patch and serve as bisection point.
Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
the specific arch.
