Erik Schmauss 8d5934952f ACPICA: Events: Add parallel GPE handling support to fix potential redundant _Exx evaluations
There is a risk that a GPE method/handler may be invoked twice. Let's
consider a case, both GPE0(RAW_HANDLER) and GPE1(_Exx) is triggered.

     LOCK()                             |
     SET (GPE1 enable bit)              |
     UNLOCK()                           |
 =======================================+=============================

If acpi_ev_detect_gpe() is only invoked from the IRQ context, there won't be
more than one _Lxx/_Exx evaluations for one status bit flagging if the IRQ
handlers controlled by the underlying IRQ chip/driver (ex. APIC) are run in
serial. Note that, this is a known potential gap and we had an approach,
locking entire non-raw-handler processes in the top-half IRQ handler and
handling all raw-handlers out of the locked loop to be friendly to those
IRQ chip/driver. But the approach is too complicated while the issue is not
so real, thus ACPICA treated such issue (if any) as a parallelism/quality
issue of the underlying IRQ chip/driver to stop putting it on the radar.
Bug in link #1 is suspiciously reflecting the same cause, and if so, it can
also be fixed by this simpler approach.

But it will be no excuse an ACPICA problem now if ACPICA starts to poll
IRQs itself. In the changed scenario, _Exx will be evaluated from the task
context due to new ACPICA provided "polling after enabling GPEs" mechanism.
And the above figure uses edge-triggered GPEs demonstrating the possibility
of evaluating _Exx twice for one status bit flagging.

As a conclusion, there is now an increased chance of evaluating _Lxx/_Exx
more than once for one status bit flagging.

However this is still not a real problem if the _Lxx/_Exx checks the
underlying hardware IRQ reasoning and finally just changes the 2nd and the
follow-up evaluations into no-ops. Note that _Lxx should always be written
in this way as a level-trigger GPE could have it's status wrongly
duplicated by the underlying IRQ delivery mechanisms. But _Exx may have
very low quality BIOS by BIOS to trigger real issues. For example, trigger
duplicated button notifications.

To solve this issue, we need to stop reading a bunch of enable/status
register bits, but read only one GPE's enable/status bit. And GPE status
register's W1C nature ensures that acknowledging one GPE won't affect
another GPEs' status bits. Thus the hardware GPE architecture has already
provided us with the mechanism of implementing such parallelism.

So we can lock around one GPE handling process to achieve the parallelism:
1. If we can incorporate GPE enable bit check in detection and ensure the
   atomicity of the following process (top-half IRQ handler):
    READ (enable/status bit)
    if (enabled && raised)
      CLEAR (enable bit)
   and handle the GPE after this process, we can ensure that we will only
   invoke GPE handler once for one status bit flagging.
2. In addtion for edge-triggered GPEs, if we can ensure the atomicity of
   the following process (top-half IRQ handler):
    READ (enable/status bit)
    if (enabled && raised)
      CLEAR (enable bit)
      CLEAR (status bit)
   and handle the GPE after this process, we can ensure that we will only
   invoke GPE handler once for one status bit flagging.

By doing a cleanup in this way, we can remove duplicate GPE handling code
and ensure that all logics are collected in 1 function. And the function
will be safe for both IRQ interrupt and IRQ polling, and will be safe for
us to release and re-acquire acpi_gbl_gpe_lock at any time rather than raw
handler only during the top-half IRQ handler. Lv Zheng.
