acpi-extra-4.8-rc1
4dc14b34 · ·More ACPI updates for v4.8-rc1 - An ACPI EC driver fix from the 4.3 cycle may cause the ACPICA's method reentrancy limit to be exceeded for a _Qxx method due to a large number of concurrent EC operations, so prevent that from happening by moving the EC handling into a separate workqueue with a limit on the number of concurrently executed work items (Lv Zheng). - Fix the cleanup code in the ACPI button driver that forgets to clear two variables on exit which causes an error to occur on the next attmpt to load the driver (Benjamin Tissoires).

pm-extra-4.8-rc1
e2b3b80d · ·More power management updates for v4.8-rc1 - Prevent the low-level assembly hibernate code on x86-64 from referring to __PAGE_OFFSET directly as a symbol which doesn't work when the kernel identity mapping base is randomized, in which case __PAGE_OFFSET is a variable (Rafael Wysocki). - Avoid selecting CPU_FREQ_STAT by default as the statistics are not required for proper cpufreq operation (Borislav Petkov). - Add Skylake-X and Broadwell-X IDs to the intel_pstate's list of processors where out-of-band (OBB) control of P-states is possible and if that is in use, intel_pstate should not attempt to manage P-states (Srinivas Pandruvada). - Drop some unnecessary checks from the wakeup IRQ handling code in the PM core (Markus Elfring). - Reduce the number operating performance point (OPP) lookups in one of the OPP framework's helper functions (Jisheng Zhang).

pm-urgent-4.8-rc1
e148d0f8 · ·Power management fix for v4.8-rc1 Fix a nasty (and really hard to debug) memory corruption during resume from hibernation on x86-64 (that leads to a kernel panic most of the time) due to the use of a stale stack pointer value in FRAME_BEGIN (Josh Poimboeuf).

libnvdimm-for-4.8
0606263f · ·libnvdimm for 4.8 1/ Replace pcommit with ADR / directed-flushing: The pcommit instruction, which has not shipped on any product, is deprecated. Instead, the requirement is that platforms implement either ADR, or provide one or more flush addresses per nvdimm. ADR (Asynchronous DRAM Refresh) flushes data in posted write buffers to the memory controller on a power-fail event. Flush addresses are defined in ACPI 6.x as an NVDIMM Firmware Interface Table (NFIT) sub-structure: "Flush Hint Address Structure". A flush hint is an mmio address that when written and fenced assures that all previous posted writes targeting a given dimm have been flushed to media. 2/ On-demand ARS (address range scrub): Linux uses the results of the ACPI ARS commands to track bad blocks in pmem devices. When latent errors are detected we re-scrub the media to refresh the bad block list, userspace can also request a re-scrub at any time. 3/ Support for the Microsoft DSM (device specific method) command format. 4/ Support for EDK2/OVMF virtual disk device memory ranges. 5/ Various fixes and cleanups across the subsystem.
