In the code path of acpi_ev_initialize_region(), there is namespace
modification code unlocked. This patch tunes the code to make sure
such modification are always locked.

ACPICA commit 767ee53354e0c4b7e8e7c57c6dd7bf569f0d52bb
There are issues related to the namespace/interpreter locks, which causes
several ACPI functionalities not specification compliant. The lock issues
were detectec when we were trying to fix the functionalities (please see
Link # [1] for the details).
What's the lock issues? Let's first look into the namespace/interpreter
lock usages inside of the object evaluation and the table loading which are
the key AML interpretion code paths:
Table loading:
acpi_ns_load_table
L(Namespace)
acpi_ns_parse_table
acpi_ns_one_complete_parse(LOAD_PASS1/LOAD_PASS2)
acpi_ds_load1_begion_op
acpi_ds_load1_end_op
acpi_ds_load2_begion_op
acpi_ds_load2_end_op
U(Namespace)
Object evaluation:
acpi_ns_evaluate
L(Interpreter)
acpi_ps_execute_method
acpi_ds_exec_begin_op
acpi_ds_exec_end_op
U(Interpreter)
acpi_ns_load_table
L(Namespace)
U(Namespace)
acpi_ev_initialize_region
L(Namespace)
U(Namespace)
address_space.Setup
address_space.Handler
acpi_os_wait_semaphore
acpi_os_acquire_mutex
acpi_os_sleep
L(Interpreter)
U(Interpreter)
L(Interpreter)
acpi_ex_resolve_node_to_value
U(Interpreter)
acpi_ns_check_return_value
Where:
1. L(Interpreter) means acquire(MTX_INTERPRETER);
2. U(Interpreter) means release(MTX_INTERPRETER);
3. L(Namespace) means acquire(MTX_NAMESPACE);
4. U(Namespace) means release(MTX_NAMESPACE);
We can see that acpi_ns_exec_module_code() (which invokes acpi_ns_evaluate) is
implemented in a deferred way just in order to avoid to reacquire the
namespace lock. This is in fact the root cause of many other ACPICA issues:
1. We now know for sure that the module code should be executed right in
place by the Windows AML interpreter. So in the current design, if
the region initializations/accesses or the table loadings (where the
namespace surely should be locked again) happening during the table
loading period, dead lock could happen because ACPICA never unlocks the
namespace during the AML interpretion.
2. ACPICA interpreter just ensures that all static namespace nodes (named
objects created during the acpi_load_tables()) are created
(acpi_ns_lookup()) with the correct lock held, but doesn't ensure that
the named objects created by the control method are created with the
same correct lock held. It requires the control methods to be executed
in a serial way after "loading a table", that's why ACPICA requires
method auto serialization.
This patch fixes these software design issues by extending interpreter
enter/exit APIs to hold both interpreter/namespace locks to ensure the lock
order correctness, so that we can get these code paths:
Table loading:
acpi_ns_load_table
E(Interpreter)
acpi_ns_parse_table
acpi_ns_one_complete_parse
acpi_ns_execute_table
X(Interpreter)
acpi_ns_load_table
acpi_ev_initialize_region
address_space.Setup
address_space.Handler
acpi_os_wait_semaphore
acpi_os_acquire_mutex
acpi_os_sleep
E(Interpreter)
X(Interpreter)
Object evaluation:
acpi_ns_evaluate
E(Interpreter)
acpi_ps_execute_method
X(Interpreter)
acpi_ns_load_table
acpi_ev_initialize_region
address_space.Setup
address_space.Handler
acpi_os_wait_semaphore
acpi_os_acquire_mutex
acpi_os_sleep
E(Interpreter)
X(Interpreter)
Where:
1. E(Interpreter) means acquire(MTX_INTERPRETER, MTX_NAMESPACE);
2. X(Interpreter) means release(MTX_NAMESPACE, MTX_INTERPRETER);
After this change, we can see:
1. All namespace nodes creations are locked by the namespace lock.
2. All namespace nodes referencing are locked with the same lock.
3. But we also can notice a defact that, all namespace nodes deletions
could be affected by this change. As a consequence,
acpi_ns_delete_namespace_subtree() may delete a static namespace node that
is still referenced by the interpreter (for example, the parser scopes).
Currently, we needn't worry about the last defact because in ACPICA, table
unloading is not fully functioning, its design strictly relies on the fact
that when the namespace deletion happens, either the AML table or the OSPMs
should have been notified and thus either the AML table or the OSPMs
shouldn't reference deletion-related namespace nodes during the namespace
deletion. And this change still works with the above restrictions applied.
While making this a-step-forward helps us to correct the wrong grammar to
pull many things back to the correct rail. And pulling things back to the
correct rail in return makes it possible for us to support fully
functioning table unloading after doing many cleanups.
While this patch is generated, all namespace locks are examined to ensure
that they can meet either of the following pattens:
1. L(Namespace)
U(Namespace)
2. E(Interpreter)
X(Interpreter)
3. E(Interpreter)
X(Interpreter)
L(Namespace)
U(Namespace)
E(Interpreter)
X(Interpreter)
We ensure this by adding X(Interpreter)/E(Interpreter) or removing
U(Namespace)/L(Namespace) for those currently are executed in the following
order:
E(Interpreter)
L(Namespace)
U(Namespace)
X(Interpreter)
And adding E(Interpreter)/X(Interpreter) for those currently are executed
in the following order:
X(Interpreter)
E(Interpreter)
Originally, the interpreter lock is held for the execution AML opcodes, the
namespace lock is held for the named object creation AML opcodes. Since
they are actually same in MS interpreter (can all be executed during the
table loading), we can combine the 2 locks and tune the locking code better
in this way. Lv Zheng.

ACPICA commit 0e24fb67cde08d7df7671d7d7b183490dc79707e
The MLC (Module Level Code) is an ACPICA terminology describing the AML
code out of any control method, its support is an indication of the
interpreter behavior during the table loading.
The original implementation of MLC in ACPICA had several issues:
1. Out of any control method, besides of the object creating opcodes, only
the code blocks wrapped by "If/Else/While" opcodes were supported.
2. The supported MLC code blocks were executed after loading the table
rather than being executed right in place.
============================================================
The demo of this order issue is as follows:
Name (OBJ1, 1)
If (CND1 == 1)
{
Name (OBJ2, 2)
}
Name (OBJ3, 3)
The original MLC support created OBJ2 after OBJ3's creation.
============================================================
Other than these limitations, MLC support in ACPICA looks correct. And
supporting this should be easy/natural for ACPICA, but enabling of this was
blocked by some ACPICA internal and OSPM specific initialization order
issues we've fixed recently. The wrong support started from the following
false bug fixing commit:
Commit: 7f0c826a43
Subject: ACPICA: Add support for module-level executable AML code
Commit: 9a884ab64a
Subject: ACPICA: Add additional module-level code support
...
We can confirm Windows interpreter behavior via reverse engineering means.
It can be proven that not only If/Else/While wrapped code blocks, all
opcodes can be executed at the module level, including operation region
accesses. And it can be proven that the MLC should be executed right in
place, not in such a deferred way executed after loading the table.
And the above facts indeed reflect the spec words around ACPI definition
block tables (DSDT/SSDT/...), the entire table and the Scope object is
defined by the AML specification in BNF style as:
AMLCode := def_block_header term_list
def_scope := scope_op pkg_length name_string term_list
The bodies of the scope opening terms (AMLCode/Scope) are all term_list,
thus the table loading should be no difference than the control method
evaluations as the body of the Method is also defined by the AML
specification as term_list:
def_method := method_op pkg_length name_string method_flags term_list
The only difference is: after evaluating control method, created named
objects may be freed due to no reference, while named objects created by
the table loading should only be freed after unloading the table.
So this patch follows the spec and the de-facto standard behavior, enables
the new grammar (term_list) for the table loading.
By doing so, beyond the fixes to the above issues, we can see additional
differences comparing to the old grammar based table loading:
1. Originally, beyond the scope opening terms (AMLCode/Scope),
If/Else/While wrapped code blocks under the scope creating terms
(Device/power_resource/Processor/thermal_zone) are also supported as
deferred MLC, which violates the spec defined grammar where object_list
is enforced. With MLC support improved as non-deferred, the interpreter
parses such scope creating terms as term_list rather object_list like the
scope opening terms.
After probing the Windows behavior and proving that it also parses these
terms as term_list, we submitted an ECR (Engineering Change Request) to
the ASWG (ACPI Specification Working Group) to clarify this. The ECR is
titled as "ASL Grammar Clarification for Executable AML Opcodes" and has
been accepted by the ASWG. The new grammar will appear in ACPI
specification 6.2.
2. Originally, Buffer/Package/operation_region/create_XXXField/bank_field
arguments are evaluated in a deferred way after loading the table. With
MLC support improved, they are also parsed right in place during the
table loading.
This is also Windows compliant and the only difference is the removal
of the debugging messages implemented before acpi_ds_execute_arguments(),
see Link # [1] for the details. A previous commit should have ensured
that acpi_check_address_range() won't regress.
Note that enabling this feature may cause regressions due to long term
Linux ACPI support on top of the wrong grammar. So this patch also prepares
a global option to be used to roll back to the old grammar during the
period between a regression is reported and the regression is
root-cause-fixed. Lv Zheng.

There is a lock order issue in acpi_load_tables(). The namespace lock
is held before holding the interpreter lock.
With ACPI_MUTEX_DEBUG enabled in the kernel, this is printed to the
log during boot:
[ 0.885699] ACPI Error: Invalid acquire order: Thread 405884224 owns [ACPI_MTX_Namespace], wants [ACPI_MTX_Interpreter] (20160422/utmutex-263)

[ 0.894019] ACPI Error: Could not release AML Interpreter mutex (20160422/exutils-133)
The issue has been introduced by the following commit:
Commit: 2f38b1b16d
ACPICA Commit: bfe03ffcde8ed56a7eae38ea0b188aeb12f9c52e
Subject: ACPICA: Namespace: Fix a regression that MLC support triggers
dead lock in dynamic table loading
Which fixed a deadlock issue for acpi_ns_load_table() in
acpi_ex_add_table() but didn't take care of the lock order in
acpi_ns_load_table() correctly.
Originally (before the above commit), ACPICA used the
namespace/interpreter locks in the following 2 key code
paths:
1. Table loading:
acpi_ns_load_table
L(Namespace)
acpi_ns_parse_table
acpi_ns_one_complete_parse
U(Namespace)
2. Object evaluation:
acpi_ns_evaluate
L(Interpreter)
acpi_ps_execute_method
U(Interpreter)
acpi_ns_load_table
L(Namespace)
U(Namespace)
acpi_ev_initialize_region
L(Namespace)
U(Namespace)
address_space.setup
L(Namespace)
U(Namespace)
address_space.handler
L(Namespace)
U(Namespace)
acpi_os_wait_semaphore
acpi_os_acquire_mutex
acpi_os_sleep
L(Interpreter)
U(Interpreter)
During runtime, while acpi_ns_evaluate is called, the lock order is
always Interpreter -> Namespace.
In turn, the problematic commit acquires the locks in the following
order:
3. Table loading:
acpi_ns_load_table
L(Namespace)
acpi_ns_parse_table
L(Interpreter)
acpi_ns_one_complete_parse
U(Interpreter)
U(Namespace)
To fix the lock order issue, move the interpreter lock to
acpi_ns_load_table() to ensure the lock order correctness:
4. Table loading:
acpi_ns_load_table
L(Interpreter)
L(Namespace)
acpi_ns_parse_table
acpi_ns_one_complete_parse
U(Namespace)
U(Interpreter)
However, this doesn't fix the current design issues related to the
namespace lock. For example, we can notice that in acpi_ns_evaluate(),
outside of acpi_ns_load_table(), the namespace objects may be created
by the named object creation control methods. And the creation of
the method-owned namespace objects are not locked by the namespace
lock. This patch doesn't try to fix such kind of existing issues.

This change adds support to automatically mark a control method as
"serialized" if the method creates any named objects. This will
positively prevent the method from being entered by more than one
thread and thus preventing a possible abort when an attempt is
made to create an object twice.
Implemented by parsing all non-serialize control methods at table
load time.
This feature is disabled by default and this patch also adds a new
Linux kernel parameter "acpi_auto_serialize" to allow this feature
to be turned on for a specific boot.
