c413d76820 ACPI, APEI, Add PCIe AER error information printing support
The AER error information printing support is implemented in
drivers/pci/pcie/aer/aer_print.c.  So some string constants, functions
and macros definitions can be re-used without being exported.

The original PCIe AER error information printing function is not
re-used directly because the overall format is quite different.  And
changing the original printing format may make some original users'
scripts broken.

415e12b237 PCI/ACPI: Request _OSC control once for each root bridge (v3)
Move the evaluation of acpi_pci_osc_control_set() (to request control of
PCI Express native features) into acpi_pci_root_add() to avoid calling
it many times for the same root complex with the same arguments.
Additionally, check if all of the requisite _OSC support bits are set
before calling acpi_pci_osc_control_set() for a given root complex.

b22c3d8275 PCI/PCIe/AER: Disable native AER service if BIOS has precedence
There is a design issue related to PCIe AER and _OSC that the BIOS
may be asked to grant control of the AER service even if some
Hardware Error Source Table (HEST) entries contain information
meaning that the BIOS really should control it.  Namely,
pcie_port_acpi_setup() calls pcie_aer_get_firmware_first() that
determines whether or not the AER service should be controlled by
the BIOS on the basis of the HEST information for the given PCIe
port.  The BIOS is asked to grant control of the AER service for
a PCIe Root Complex if pcie_aer_get_firmware_first() returns 'false'
for at least one root port in that complex, even if all of the other
root ports' HEST entries have the FIRMWARE_FIRST flag set (and none
of them has the GLOBAL flag set).  However, if the AER service is
controlled by the kernel, that may interfere with the BIOS' handling
of the error sources having the FIRMWARE_FIRST flag.  Moreover,
there may be PCIe endpoints that have the FIRMWARE_FIRST flag set in
HEST and are attached to the root ports in question, in which case it
also may be unsafe to ask the BIOS for control of the AER service.

For this reason, introduce a function checking if there's at least
one PCIe-related HEST entry with the FIRMWARE_FIRST flag set and
disable the native AER service altogether if this function returns
'true'.

affb72c3a8 ACPI, APEI, PCIE AER, use general HEST table parsing in AER firmware_first setup
Now, a dedicated HEST tabling parsing code is used for PCIE AER
firmware_first setup. It is rebased on general HEST tabling parsing
code of APEI. The firmware_first setup code is moved from PCI core to
AER driver too, because it is only AER related.

89713422a7 PCI: aerdrv: introduce default_downstream_reset_link
I noticed that when I inject a fatal error to an endpoint via
aer-inject, aer_root_reset() is called as reset_link for a
downstream port at upstream of the endpoint:

  pcieport 0000:00:06.0: AER: Uncorrected (Fatal) error received: id=5401
   :
  pcieport 0000:52:02.0: Root Port link has been reset

It externally appears to be working, but internally issues some
accesses to PCI_ERR_ROOT_COMMAND/STATUS registers that is for
root port so not available on downstream port.

This patch introduces default_downstream_reset_link that is
a version of aer_root_reset() with no accesses to root port's
register. It is used for downstream ports that has no reset_link
function its specific.

This patch also updates related description in pcieaer-howto.txt.
Some minor fixes are included.

460d298d52 PCI: aerdrv: cleanup inconsistent functions
This cleanup solves some minor naming issues by removing unuseful
function aer_delete_rootport() and by renaming disable_root_aer()
to aer_disable_rootport().

- Inconsistent location of alloc & free:
   The struct rpc is allocated in aer_alloc_rpc() at aerdrv.c
   while it is implicitly freed in aer_delete_rootport() at
   aerdrv_core.c.

- Inconsistent function name:
   It makes a bit confusion that aer_delete_rootport() is seemed
   to be paired with aer_enable_rootport(), i.e. there is neither
   "add" against "delete" nor "disable" against "enable".

e7a0d92b19 PCI: pcie, aer: report multiple/first error on a device
Multiple bits might be set in the Uncorrectable Error Status
register.  But aer_print_error_source() only report a error of
the lowest bit set in the error status register.

So print strings for all bits unmasked and set.

And check First Error Pointer to mark the error occured first.
This FEP is not valid when the corresponing bit of the Uncorrectable
Error Status register is not set, or unimplemented or undefined.

0d90c3ac0b PCI: pcie, aer: refer mask state in mask register properly
ERR_{,UN}CORRECTABLE_ERROR_MASK are set of error bits which linux know,
set of PCI_ERR_COR_* and PCI_ERR_UNC_* defined in linux/pci_regs.h.
This masks make aerdrv not to report errors of unknown bit, while aerdrv
have ability to report such undefined errors as "Unknown Error Bit %2d".

OTOH aerdrv_errprint does not have any check of setting in mask register.
So it could report masked wrong error by finding bit in status without
knowing that the bit is masked in the mask register.

This patch changes aerdrv to use mask state in mask register propely
instead of defined/hardcoded ERR_{,UN}CORRECTABLE_ERROR_MASK.
This change prevents aerdrv from reporting masked error, and also enable
reporting unknown errors.

kernel process them, the Multiple Error Messages Received flags are set
by hardware. Because the root port could only save one kind of
correctable error source id and another uncorrectable error source id at
the same time, the second message sender id is lost if the 2 messages
are sent from 2 different devices. This patch makes the kernel search
all devices under the root port when multiple messages are received.

e8edc6e03a Detach sched.h from mm.h
First thing mm.h does is including sched.h solely for can_do_mlock() inline
function which has "current" dereference inside. By dealing with can_do_mlock()
mm.h can be detached from sched.h which is good. See below, why.

This patch
a) removes unconditional inclusion of sched.h from mm.h
b) makes can_do_mlock() normal function in mm/mlock.c
c) exports can_do_mlock() to not break compilation
d) adds sched.h inclusions back to files that were getting it indirectly.
e) adds less bloated headers to some files (asm/signal.h, jiffies.h) that were
   getting them indirectly

Net result is:
a) mm.h users would get less code to open, read, preprocess, parse, ... if
   they don't need sched.h
b) sched.h stops being dependency for significant number of files:
   on x86_64 allmodconfig touching sched.h results in recompile of 4083 files,
   after patch it's only 3744 (-8.3%).

Cross-compile tested on

	all arm defconfigs, all mips defconfigs, all powerpc defconfigs,
	alpha alpha-up

65f27f3844 WorkStruct: Pass the work_struct pointer instead of context data
Pass the work_struct pointer to the work function rather than context data.
The work function can use container_of() to work out the data.

For the cases where the container of the work_struct may go away the moment the
pending bit is cleared, it is made possible to defer the release of the
structure by deferring the clearing of the pending bit.

To make this work, an extra flag is introduced into the management side of the
work_struct.  This governs auto-release of the structure upon execution.

Ordinarily, the work queue executor would release the work_struct for further
scheduling or deallocation by clearing the pending bit prior to jumping to the
work function.  This means that, unless the driver makes some guarantee itself
that the work_struct won't go away, the work function may not access anything
else in the work_struct or its container lest they be deallocated..  This is a
problem if the auxiliary data is taken away (as done by the last patch).

However, if the pending bit is *not* cleared before jumping to the work
function, then the work function *may* access the work_struct and its container
with no problems.  But then the work function must itself release the
work_struct by calling work_release().

In most cases, automatic release is fine, so this is the default.  Special
initiators exist for the non-auto-release case (ending in _NAR).

6c2b374d74 PCI-Express AER implemetation: AER core and aerdriver
Patch 3 implements the core part of PCI-Express AER and aerdrv
port service driver.

When a root port service device is probed, the aerdrv will call
request_irq to register irq handler for AER error interrupt.

When a device sends an PCI-Express error message to the root port,
the root port will trigger an interrupt, by either MSI or IO-APIC,
then kernel would run the irq handler. The handler collects root
error status register and schedules a work. The work will call
the core part to process the error based on its type
(Correctable/non-fatal/fatal).

As for Correctable errors, the patch chooses to just clear the correctable
error status register of the device.

As for the non-fatal error, the patch follows generic PCI error handler
rules to call the error callback functions of the endpoint's driver. If
the device is a bridge, the patch chooses to broadcast the error to
downstream devices.

As for the fatal error, the patch resets the pci-express link and
follows generic PCI error handler rules to call the error callback
functions of the endpoint's driver. If the device is a bridge, the patch
chooses to broadcast the error to downstream devices.
