For whatever reason, the X1 Yoga doesn't support the normal method of querying for tablet mode. Instead of providing the MHKG method under the hotkey handle, we're instead given the CMMD method under the EC handle. Values on this handle are either 0x1, laptop mode, or 0x6, tablet mode. Tested-by:

The hotkey events and ACPI handles used for detecting tablet mode on a few of the newer thinkpad models (Yoga X1 and the Yoga 260 specifically) have been changed around, so unfortunately this means we're definitely going to need to probe for multiple types of tablet mode support. Since the hotkey_init() is already a lot larger than it should be, let's split up this detection into its own function to make things a little easier to read. As well, since we're going to have multiple types of tablet modes, make hotkey_tablet into an enum so we can also use it to indicate the type of tablet mode reporting the machine supports.

Without this patch, the Asus X45U wireless card can't be turned on (hard-blocked), but after a suspend/resume it just starts working. Following this bug report[1], there are other cases like this one, but this Asus is the only model that I can test.

ModPhy Common lanes can provide the clock gating status for the important system PLLs such as Gen2 USB3PCIE2 PLL, DMIPCIE3 PLL, SATA PLL and MIPI PLL. On SPT, in addition to the crystal oscillator clock, the 100Mhz Gen2 USB3PCI2 PLL clock is used as the PLL reference clock and Gen2 PLL idling is a necessary condition for the platform to go into low power states like PC10 and S0ix.

The PCH implements a number of High Speed I/O (HSIO) lanes that are split between PCIe*, USB 3.0, SATA, GbE, USB OTG and SSIC. This patch shows the current power gating status of the available ModPhy Core lanes. This is done by sending a message to the PMC (MTPMC) that contains the XRAM register offset for the MPHY_CORE_STS_0 and MPHY_CORE_STS_1 and then by reading the response sent by the PMC (MFPMC). While enabling low power modes we often encounter situations when the ModPhy lanes are not power gated and it becomes hard to debug which lane is active and which is not in the absence of an external hardware debugger (JTAG/ITP). This patch eliminates the dependency on an external hardware debugger for reading the ModPhy Lanes power gating status. This patch requires PMC_READ_DISABLE setting to be disabled in the platform bios. cat /sys/kernel/debug/pmc_core/mphy_lanes_power_gating_status Signed-off-by:

This patch adds the support for reading the power gating status of various devices present on Sunrise Point PCH. This is intended to be used for debugging purpose while tuning the platform for power optimizations and also to understand which devices (on PCH) are blocking the system to enter a low power state. Power Management Controller on Sunrise Point PCH provides access to "PGD PFET Enable Ack Status Registers (ppfear)". This patch reads and decodes this register and dumps the output in formatted manner showing various devices present on the PCH and their "Power Gating" status. Further documentation can be found in Intel 7th Gen Core family mobile u/y processor io datasheet volume 2. Sample output (stripped and not in order): cat /sys/kernel/debug/pmc_core/pch_ip_power_gating_status PMC State: Not Power gated OPI-DMI State: Not Power gated XHCI State: Power gated LPSS State: Power gated CSME_PSF State: Not power gated Signed-off-by:

On Sunrise Point PCH, the Power Management Controller provides 4K bytes of memory space for various power management and debug registers. This fix is needed to access power management & debug registers that are mapped at a higher offset. Also, this provides a fix for correctly masking the PWRMBASE as the initial bits (0-11) are reserved. Signed-off-by:

The AMW0_GUID1 wmi is not only found on Acer family but also other machines like Lenovo, Fujitsu and Medion. In the past, acer-wmi handled those non-Acer machines by quirks list. But actually acer-wmi driver was loaded on any machine that had AMW0_GUID1. This behavior is strange because those machines should be supported by appropriate wmi drivers. e.g. fujitsu-laptop, ideapad-laptop. This patch adds the logic to check the machine that has AMW0_GUID1 should be in Acer/Packard Bell/Gateway white list. But, it still keeps the quirk list of those supported non-acer machines for backward compatibility. Tested-by:

We have a fairly common pattern where you print several things as continuations on one single line in a loop, and then at the end you do printk(KERN_CONT "\n"); to flush the buffered output. But if the output was flushed by something else (concurrent printk activity, or just system logging), we don't want that final flushing to just print an empty line. So just suppress empty continuation lines when they couldn't be merged into the line they are a continuation of. Signed-off-by:Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

Merge the gup_flags cleanups from Lorenzo Stoakes: "This patch series adjusts functions in the get_user_pages* family such that desired FOLL_* flags are passed as an argument rather than implied by flags. The purpose of this change is to make the use of FOLL_FORCE explicit so it is easier to grep for and clearer to callers that this flag is being used. The use of FOLL_FORCE is an issue as it overrides missing VM_READ/VM_WRITE flags for the VMA whose pages we are reading from/writing to, which can result in surprising behaviour. The patch series came out of the discussion around commit 38e08854 ("mm: check VMA flags to avoid invalid PROT_NONE NUMA balancing"), which addressed a BUG_ON() being triggered when a page was faulted in with PROT_NONE set but having been overridden by FOLL_FORCE. do_numa_page() was run on the assumption the page _must_ be one marked for NUMA node migration as an actual PROT_NONE page would have been dealt with prior to this code path, however FOLL_FORCE introduced a situation where this assumption did not hold. See https://marc.info/?l=linux-mm&m=147585445805166 for the patch proposal" Additionally, there's a fix for an ancient bug related to FOLL_FORCE and FOLL_WRITE by me.

A scheduler performance regression has been reported by Joseph Salisbury, which he bisected back to: 3d30544f ("sched/fair: Apply more PELT fixes) The regression triggers when several levels of task groups are involved (read: SystemD) and cpu_possible_mask != cpu_present_mask. The root cause is that group entity's load (tg_child->se[i]->avg.load_avg) is initialized to scale_load_down(se->load.weight). During the creation of a child task group, its group entities on possible CPUs are attached to parent's cfs_rq (tg_parent) and their loads are added to the parent's load (tg_parent->load_avg) with update_tg_load_avg(). But only the load on online CPUs will then be updated to reflect real load, whereas load on other CPUs will stay at the initial value. The result is a tg_parent->load_avg that is higher than the real load, the weight of group entities (tg_parent->se[i]->load.weight) on online CPUs is smaller than it should be, and the task group gets a less running time than what it could expect. ( This situation can be detected with /proc/sched_debug. The ".tg_load_avg" of the task group will be much higher than sum of ".tg_load_avg_contrib" of online cfs_rqs of the task group. ) The load of group entities don't have to be intialized to something else than 0 because their load will increase when an entity is attached.

This is an ancient bug that was actually attempted to be fixed once (badly) by me eleven years ago in commit 4ceb5db9 ("Fix get_user_pages() race for write access") but that was then undone due to problems on s390 by commit f33ea7f4 ("fix get_user_pages bug"). In the meantime, the s390 situation has long been fixed, and we can now fix it by checking the pte_dirty() bit properly (and do it better). The s390 dirty bit was implemented in abf09bed ("s390/mm: implement software dirty bits") which made it into v3.9. Earlier kernels will have to look at the page state itself. Also, the VM has become more scalable, and what used a purely theoretical race back then has become easier to trigger. To fix it, we introduce a new internal FOLL_COW flag to mark the "yes, we already did a COW" rather than play racy games with FOLL_WRITE that is very fundamental, and then use the pte dirty flag to validate that the FOLL_COW flag is still valid.
