      Pull ACPI video support fixes from Rafael Wysocki:
 "I'm sending a separate pull request for this as it may be somewhat
  controversial.  The breakage addressed here is not really new and the
  fixes may not satisfy all users of the affected systems, but we've had
  so much back and forth dance in this area over the last several weeks
  that I think it's time to actually make some progress.

  The source of the problem is that about a year ago we started to tell
  BIOSes that we're compatible with Windows 8, which we really need to
  do, because some systems shipping with Windows 8 are tested with it
  and nothing else, so if we tell their BIOSes that we aren't compatible
  with Windows 8, we expose our users to untested BIOS/AML code paths.

  However, as it turns out, some Windows 8-specific AML code paths are
  not tested either, because Windows 8 actually doesn't use the ACPI
  methods containing them, so if we declare Windows 8 compatibility and
  attempt to use those ACPI methods, things break.  That occurs mostly
  in the backlight support area where in particular the _BCM and _BQC
  methods are plain unusable on some systems if the OS declares Windows
  8 compatibility.

  [ The additional twist is that they actually become usable if the OS
    says it is not compatible with Windows 8, but that may cause
    problems to show up elsewhere ]

  Investigation carried out by Matthew Garrett indicates that what
  Windows 8 does about backlight is to leave backlight control up to
  individual graphics drivers.  At least there's evidence that it does
  that if the Intel graphics driver is used, so we've decided to follow
  Windows 8 in that respect and allow i915 to control backlight (Daniel
  likes that part).

  The first commit from Aaron Lu makes ACPICA export the variable from
  which we can infer whether or not the BIOS believes that we are
  compatible with Windows 8.

  The second commit from Matthew Garrett prepares the ACPI video driver
  by making it initialize the ACPI backlight even if it is not going to
  be used afterward (that is needed for backlight control to work on
  Thinkpads).

  The third commit implements the actual workaround making i915 take
  over backlight control if the firmware thinks it's dealing with
  Windows 8 and is based on the work of multiple developers, including
  Matthew Garrett, Chun-Yi Lee, Seth Forshee, and Aaron Lu.

  The final commit from Aaron Lu makes us follow Windows 8 by informing
  the firmware through the _DOS method that it should not carry out
  automatic brightness changes, so that brightness can be controlled by
  GUI.

  Hopefully, this approach will allow us to avoid using blacklists of
  systems that should not declare Windows 8 compatibility just to avoid
  backlight control problems in the future.

   - Change from Aaron Lu makes ACPICA export a variable which can be
     used by driver code to determine whether or not the BIOS believes
     that we are compatible with Windows 8.

   - Change from Matthew Garrett makes the ACPI video driver initialize
     the ACPI backlight even if it is not going to be used afterward
     (that is needed for backlight control to work on Thinkpads).

   - Fix from Rafael J Wysocki implements Windows 8 backlight support
     workaround making i915 take over bakclight control if the firmware
     thinks it's dealing with Windows 8.  Based on the work of multiple
     developers including Matthew Garrett, Chun-Yi Lee, Seth Forshee,
     and Aaron Lu.

   - Fix from Aaron Lu makes the kernel follow Windows 8 by informing
     the firmware through the _DOS method that it should not carry out
     automatic brightness changes, so that brightness can be controlled
     by GUI"

      ext3: fix a BUG when opening a file with O_TMPFILE flag · dda5690d
      Zheng Liu authored 
      When we try to open a file with O_TMPFILE flag, we will trigger a bug.
The root cause is that in ext4_orphan_add() we check ->i_nlink == 0 and
this check always fails because we set ->i_nlink = 1 in
inode_init_always().  We can use the following program to trigger it:

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
	int fd;

	fd = open(argv[1], O_TMPFILE, 0666);
	if (fd < 0) {
		perror("open ");
		return -1;
	}
	close(fd);
	return 0;
}

The oops message looks like this:

Here we couldn't call clear_nlink() directly because in d_tmpfile() we
will call inode_dec_link_count() to decrease ->i_nlink.  So this commit
tries to call d_tmpfile() before ext4_orphan_add() to fix this problem.
