f7f71cfbf0 ACPI: Fix possible recursive locking in hwregs.c
Calling pm-suspend might trigger a recursive lock in it's code path.
In function acpi_hw_clear_acpi_status, acpi_os_acquire_lock holds
the lock acpi_gbl_hardware_lock before calling acpi_hw_register_write(),
then without releasing acpi_gbl_hardware_lock, this function calls
acpi_ev_walk_gpe_list, which tries to hold acpi_gbl_gpe_lock.
Both acpi_gbl_hardware_lock and acpi_gbl_gpe_lock are at same
lock-class and which might cause lock recursion deadlock.

Following patch fixes this scenario by just releasing
acpi_gbl_hardware_lock before calling acpi_ev_walk_gpe_list.

8f9c91273e ACPICA: Do not repair _TSS return package if _PSS is present
We can only sort the _TSS return package if there is no _PSS
in the same scope. This is because if _PSS is present, the ACPI
specification dictates that the _TSS Power Dissipation field is
to be ignored, and therefore some BIOSs leave garbage values in
the _TSS Power field(s).  In this case, it is best to just return
the _TSS package as-is.

981858bd7a ACPI / ACPICA: Implicit notify for multiple devices
Commit bba63a2 (ACPICA: Implicit notify support) introduced a
mechanism that causes a notify request of type
ACPI_NOTIFY_DEVICE_WAKE to be queued automatically by
acpi_ev_asynch_execute_gpe_method() for the device whose _PRW points
to the GPE being handled if that GPE is not associated with an
_Lxx/_Exx method.  However, it turns out that on some systems there
are multiple devices with _PRW pointing to the same GPE without
_Lxx/_Exx and the mechanism introduced by commit bba63a2 needs to be
extended so that "implicit" notify requests of type
ACPI_NOTIFY_DEVICE_WAKE can be queued automatically for all those
devices at the same time.

2629484288 ACPICA: Fix issues/fault with automatic "serialized" method support
History: This support changes a method to "serialized" on the fly if the
method generates an AE_ALREADY_EXISTS error, indicating the possibility
that it cannot handle reentrancy.

This fix repairs a couple of issues seen in the field, especially on
machines with many cores.

1) Delete method children only upon the exit of the last thread, so
as to not delete objects out from under running threads.

2) Set the "serialized" bit for the method only upon the exit of the
last thread, so as to not cause deadlock when running threads attempt
to exit.

3) Cleanup the use of the AML "MethodFlags" and internal method flags
so that there is no longer any confustion between the two.
