When handling a GPE ACPI interrupt object the EcSpaceHandler()
function can be called which checks the EC_EVENT_SCI bit and then
recurse on the EcGpeQueryHandler() function. If there are multiple GPE
events pending the EC_EVENT_SCI bit will be set at the next call to
EcSpaceHandler() causing it to recurse again via the
EcGpeQueryHandler() function. This leads to a slow never ending
recursion during boot which prevents proper system startup, because
the EC_EVENT_SCI bit never gets cleared in this scenario.
The behaviour is reproducible with the ALASKA AMI in combination with
a newer Skylake based mainboard in the following way:
Enter BIOS and adjust the clock one hour forward. Save and exit the
BIOS. System fails to boot due to the above mentioned bug in
EcGpeQueryHandler() which was observed recursing multiple times.
This patch adds a simple recursion guard to the EcGpeQueryHandler()
function and also also adds logic to detect if new GPE events occurred
during the execution of EcGpeQueryHandler() and then loop on this
function instead of recursing.

For Thunderbolt controller, keep the legacy behavior i.e. return the SYNCHRONIZE_CACHE command with success status from driver itself.
There is Sysctl parameter 'block_sync_cache' is provided to enable customers either to block/unblock these commands to facilitate
legacy behavior if there is a compatibility issue. Default value for module parameter is to unblock this command.

If a SCSI IO times out, then before initiating OCR, now the driver will try to send a
target reset to the particular target for which the IO is timed out. If that also fails,
then the driver will initiate OCR.

MFI linked list in megaraid_sas driver is used for mfi-mpt pass-through commands.
This list can be corrupted due to many possible race conditions in driver and
eventually we may see kernel panic.
One example -
MFI frame is freed from calling process as driver send command via polling method and interrupt
for that command comes after driver free mfi frame (actually even after some other context reuse
the mfi frame). When driver receive MPT frame in ISR, driver will be using the index of MFI and
access that MFI frame and finally in-used MFI frames list will be corrupted.
High level description of new solution -
Free MFI and MPT command from same context.
Free both the command either from process (from where mfi-mpt pass-through was called) or from
ISR context. Do not split freeing of MFI and MPT, because it creates the race condition which
will do MFI/MPT list.

Clear the interrupt state before reading the input char from the
input FIFO. In the current code there is a window between the read
to the data register and the write to the the ICR, during which an
input char will not cause an interrupt.
This fixes the issue by which the serial port input on QEMU freezes
when using the emulated pl011 serial port.
This adds a workaround to incorrectly behaving APs (ie, FreeBSD APs) which
don't beacon out exactly when they should (at TBTT multiples of beacon
intervals.)
It forces the hardware awake (but leaves it in network-sleep so self
generated frames still state that the hardware is asleep!) and will
remain awake until the next sleep transition driven by net80211.
That way if the beacons are just at the wrong interval, we get a much
better chance of hearing more consecutive beacons before we go to sleep,
thus not constantly disconnecting.
Tested:
* AR9485, STA mode, against a misbehaving FreeBSD AP.
The 802.11-2012 spec talks about this - section 10.1.3.2 - Beacon Generation
in Infrastructure Networks. So yes, we should be expecting beacons to be
going out in multiples of intval.
Silly adrian.
So:
* fix the FreeBSD APs that are sending beacons at incorrect TBTTs (target
beacon transmit time); and
* yes indeed we will have to wake up out of network sleep until we sync
a beacon.
ASMedia ASM1062 AHCI chips with some fancy firmware handling PMP inside
seems sometimes forgeting to set bits in PxIS, causing command timeouts.
Removal of this check fixes the issue by the theoretical cost of slightly
higher CPU usage in some odd cases, but this is what Linux does too.

This was being done in the pre-AR9380 case, but not for AR9380 and later.
When powersave in STA mode is enabled, this may have lead to the transmit
completion code doing this:
* call the task, which doesn't wake up the hardware
* complete the frames, which doesn't touch the hardware
* schedule pending frames on the hardware queue, which DOES touch the
hardware, and this will be ignored
This would show up in the logs like this:
(with debugging enabled):
Nov 27 23:03:56 lovelace kernel: Q1[ 0] (nseg=1) (DS.V:0xfffffe011bd57300 DS.P:0x49b57300) I: 168cc117 L:00000000 F:0005
...
(in general, doesn't require debugging enabled):
Nov 27 23:03:56 lovelace kernel: ath_hal_reg_write: reg=0x00000804, val=0x49b57300, pm=2
That register is a EDMA TX FIFO register (queue 1), and the val is the descriptor
being written.
Whilst here, make sure the software queue gets kicked here.

* AR9485, STA mode + powersave

This bug has been bugging me for quite some time. I finally sat down
with enough coffee to figure it out.
The short of it - rounding up to the next intval multiple of the TSF value
only works if the AP is transmitting all its beacons on an interval of
the TSF. If it isn't - for example, doing staggered beacons on a multi-VAP
setup with a single hardware TSF - then weird things occur.
The long of it -
When powersave is enabled, the MAC and PHY are partially powered off.
They can't receive any packets (or transmit, for that matter.)
The target beacon timer programming will wake up the MAC/PHY just before
the beacon is supposed to be received (well, strictly speaking, at DTIM
so it can see the TIM - traffic information map - telling the STA whether
any traffic is there for it) and it happens automatically.
However, this relies on the target beacon time being programmed correctly.
If it isn't then the hardware will wake up and not hear any beacons -
and then it'll be asleep for said beacons. After enough of this, net80211
will give up and assume the AP went away.
This should fix both TSFOOR interrupts and disconnects from APs with powersave
enabled.
The annoying bit is that it only happens if APs stagger things or start
on a non-zero TSF. So, this would sometimes be fine and sometimes not be
fine.
What:
* I don't know (yet) why the code rounds up to the next intval.
For now, just disable rounding it and trust the value we get.
TODO:
* If we do see a beacon miss in STA mode then we should transition
out of sleep for a while so we can hear beacons to resync against.
I'd love a patch from someone to enable that particular behaviour.
Note - that doesn't require that net80211 brings the chip out of
sleep state - only that we wake the chip up through to full-on and
then let it go to sleep again when we've seen a beacon. The wifi
stack and AP can still completely just stay believing we're in sleep
mode.

* AR9485, STA mode, powersave enabled
