Pull ACPI support updates from Rafael Wysocki: "The most significant change here is the rework of the core ACPI device enumeration code to avoid initializing ACPI power management prematurely for devices with unmet dependencies. This essentially is a problem fix, but it requires taking PCI device enumeration ordering into account among other things, so it is far from straightforward. There was an attempt to do this in the 7.3 time frame that had to be reverted, so this time it is done much more carefully. There is also an ACPI thermal control update rearranging the code to register thermal class cooling devices under specific parents, which is visible in sysfs. This helps to figure out what is represented by those devices much more easily, but it also allows the binding of cooling devices to trip points in thermal zones to be adjusted so it need not rely on specific cooling device data usage in thermal drivers. From the number of commits perspective, the most visible part is the one replacing acpi_get_first_physical_node() with acpi_bus_get_primary_device() everywhere and dropping the former that was inherently racy and generally unsafe to use. Fortunately, the maintainers involved responded timely and all of that could be done within one development cycle. Another quite visible part is Dave Jiang's series fixing multiple issues reported by Sashiko in the ACPI APEI support code with a PCI AER improvement on top. It took several iterations of this to make Sashiko happy and the code in question should be much more robust going forward. One other thing worth mentioning separately is that the ACPI bus type is now going to be registered as a "companion" one and it will not be possible to register a driver binding directly to a struct acpi_device. All of the existing users of those drivers in the tree were converted to platform drivers in the previous cycles, so this is just a final step in a longer journey. Apart from the above, there are many fixes, mostly in drivers, with a noticeable exception of a fix in the code binding devices to their ACPI companions, new IOVT IOMMU support in ACPICA, new _Ixx object support for suspend-to-idle on x86, multiple new quirks, mostly related to unused ACPI power resources and backlight handling, and assorted cleanups. Specifics: - Make the core ACPI device enumeration code stop attempting to initialize ACPI power management for devices before they are known to be present and functional (Rafael Wysocki) - Simplify and clean up the core ACPI device enumeration code on top of the previous adjustment and reduce debug noise coming from it (Rafael Wysocki) - Fix locking in the code binding devices to their ACPI companions, prevent it from replacing a valid ACPI companion pointer with NULL incidentally, improve its messaging (including debug noise reduction), and reduce its overhead by making it skip the cases in which no ACPI companion may exist early (Rafael Wysocki) - Reduce runtime memory footprint of struct acpi_device by rearranging fields in it (Andy Shevchenko) - Update the driver core to allow bus types without drivers to be registered as "companion bus types" without driver-related sysfs attributes and register the ACPI bus type as a companion one (Rafael Wysocki) - Use strscpy() instead of strcpy() in the ACPI sysfs interface (Ruslan Vagner) - Remove __meminitdata from hmat_adist_nb declaration preserving it even when CONFIG_MEMORY_HOTPLUG is not set to prevent notifier chain corruption in some cases (Alejandro Lucero) - Prevent a NULL pointer dereference when attempting to read the table length after a mapping bookkeeping failure during an initrd override invocation with permanent table mappings enabled (Slavin Liu) - Use for_each_populated_zone() in get_node_num() in the MRRM table pareser (Sang-Heon Jeon) - Use vsnprintf() in acpi_os_vprintf() to prevent memory corruption resulting from overly long diagnostic messages that may not fit into a static buffer used by ACPICA and may be produced by a malformed ACPI table (Vlatko Kosturjak) - Ignore leading root scope prefix in string _UID match to allow AMD IOMMU matching to work as expected in some cases (Mario Limonciello) - Adjust message printing macros for ACPI objects to use dev_fmt() for more consistency with the analogous dev_*() macros (Rafael Wysocki) - Add _Ixx GPE wake indicator support to the x86 suspend-to-idle handling code (Saranya Gopal) - Clear driver_data before free in the ACPI PCI Link driver to prevent a dangling pointer from being used later (Jiale Yao) - Accumulate the queued flag across error sections of a CPER record in ghes_do_proc() to prevent it from being cleared by a later section or entry that does not queue memory-failure work (Breno Leitao) - Map a raw PCI AER Capability image field by field to prevent information loss from occurring while processing it (Dave Jiang) - Update a stale driver source reference in the ACPI APEI EINJ driver documentation (Prabhakar Pujeri) - Reject CPER records with an out-of-range error_data_length or an error status block length wrapping a u32 in the EFI CPER driver (Dave Jiang) - Address multiple assorted issues in the ACPI extlog driver (Dave Jiang) - Address two issues related to CXL in the ACPI APEI GHES driver (Dave Jiang) - Read only validated fields in cper_mem_err_pack() (Dave Jiang) - Validate memory error section length before payload access, prevent writes past array bounds from occurring and sanitize software metadata in the ACPI APEI GHES driver (Dave Jiang) -

Fix memory leak due to leftover devm_kcalloc() argument in the ACPI fan driver (Rafael Wysocki) - Fix backlight unregistration ordering in the ACPI video bus device driver (Rafael Wysocki) - Update the thermal core to allow the registration of thermal class cooling devices under specific parents and convert the ACPI fan, ACPI processor, and ACPI video bus device drivers to do so (Rafael Wysocki) - Adjust the ACPI thermal zone driver to use thermal class cooling device parent information for binding cooling devices to trip points in thermal zones (Rafael Wysocki) - Use cooling device data that is a better match for a given driver instead of a struct acpi_device pointer that had to be used for this purpose previously in the ACPI fan and processor drivers (Rafael Wysocki) - Fix acpi_thermal_guess_offset() in the ACPI thermal zone driver for thermal zone devices with a 273.0°K offset (Hans de Goede) - Define a free for ACPI objects allocated by ACPICA helpers and use it to simplify AML error handling in the ACPI fan driver (Rafael Wysocki) - Switch over the users of acpi_get_first_physical_node(), that was inherently racy and therefore not really safe to use, to use its replacement acpi_bus_get_primary_device(), and eliminate the former (Rafael Wysocki) - Add !CONFIG_ACPI stubs for acpi_find_child_device() and acpi_device_uid() (Mario Limonciello and Robin Murphy) - Fix bogus cycle count values on systems without _BIX in the ACPI battery driver (Armin Wolf) -
