[PATCH AUTOSEL 4.4 30/44] ACPI / CPPC: do not require the _PSD method

[PATCH AUTOSEL 4.4 30/44] ACPI / CPPC: do not require the _PSD method

[Sasha Levin]

From: Al Stone <ahs3@redhat.com>

[ Upstream commit 4c4cdc4c63853fee48c02e25c8605fb65a6c9924 ]

According to the ACPI 6.3 specification, the _PSD method is optional
when using CPPC.  The underlying assumption is that each CPU can change
frequency independently from all other CPUs; _PSD is provided to tell
the OS that some processors can NOT do that.

However, the acpi_get_psd() function returns ENODEV if there is no _PSD
method present, or an ACPI error status if an error occurs when evaluating
_PSD, if present.  This makes _PSD mandatory when using CPPC, in violation
of the specification, and only on Linux.

This has forced some firmware writers to provide a dummy _PSD, even though
it is irrelevant, but only because Linux requires it; other OSPMs follow
the spec.  We really do not want to have OS specific ACPI tables, though.

So, correct acpi_get_psd() so that it does not return an error if there
is no _PSD method present, but does return a failure when the method can
not be executed properly.  This allows _PSD to be optional as it should
be.

[PATCH AUTOSEL 4.4 32/44] ACPI: custom_method: fix memory leaks

[Sasha Levin]

From: Wenwen Wang <wenwen@cs.uga.edu>

[ Upstream commit 03d1571d9513369c17e6848476763ebbd10ec2cb ]

In cm_write(), 'buf' is allocated through kzalloc(). In the following
execution, if an error occurs, 'buf' is not deallocated, leading to memory
leaks. To fix this issue, free 'buf' before returning the error.
