protect acpi_battery_ioctl with Giant

This is a direct commit to stable/9.

There is a bug in the ACPICA version 20110527 that is used in stable/9.
The bug can lead to unprotected reference counting on ACPI objects
and eventually to a crash or a memory corruption. The bug has been fixed
upstream and imported to head as of ACPICA version 20130328.
Unfortunately, ACPICA version in stable has not been updated,
so merging all past ACPICA versions or cherry-picking parts of 20130328
would be a big change with a risk of potential regressions.

During debugging it was determined that the most probable vector for the
bug was through concurrent calls to ACPI battery sysctls and ioctls.
The sysctls are already guarded by Giant (not MPSAFE), but ioctls could
execute in parallel to a sysctl call and to each other. All the calls
go through acpi_battery_ioctl function, which makes the actual calls
into ACPICA and those are the calls that lack necessary protection.
Thus preventing concurrency in acpi_battery_ioctl should prevent the
conditions that triggered the ACPICA bug.

This is based on the patch submitted by Yuri Skripachov.
Overview of the changes:
- clarify double-use of some ACPI_BATT_STAT_* definitions
- clean up undefined/extended status bits returned by _BST
- warn about charging+discharging bits being set at the same time

# 196403 20-Aug-2009 jhb

Temporarily revert the new-bus locking for 8.0 release. It will be
reintroduced after HEAD is reopened for commits by re@.

Approved by: re (kib), attilio


# 196037 02-Aug-2009 attilio

Make the newbus subsystem Giant free by adding the new newbus sxlock.
The newbus lock is responsible for protecting newbus internIal structures,
device states and devclass flags. It is necessary to hold it when all
such datas are accessed. For the other operations, softc locking should
ensure enough protection to avoid races.

Newbus lock is automatically held when virtual operations on the device
and bus are invoked when loading the driver or when the suspend/resume
take place. For other 'spourious' operations trying to access/modify
the newbus topology, newbus lock needs to be automatically acquired and
dropped.

For the moment Giant is also acquired in some key point (modules subsystem)
in order to avoid problems before the 8.0 release as module handlers could
make assumptions about it. This Giant locking should go just after
the release happens.

Please keep in mind that the public interface can be expanded in order
to provide more support, if there are really necessities at some point
and also some bugs could arise as long as the patch needs a bit of
further testing.

Bump __FreeBSD_version in order to reflect the newbus lock introduction.

# 172490 09-Oct-2007 njl

When the EC times out (common with Compaqs), it may report a design
voltage of 0. This can result in a divide by zero trap. Add a guard
for this case. The value of lfcap is checked in acpi_battery_bif_valid()
just before this, so it is safe.

ACPIIO_BATT_GET_UNITS would always return ENXIO. However, it should never
return an error since it returns a count of battery devices in the system.
Set it to 0 explicitly, since it is the only switch branch that doesn't set
it.

# I guess no one uses it.


# 159476 10-Jun-2006 njl

Minor sysctl cleanup. The RW flag means read|write and so it is redundant
to add the RD flag. Also, the debug node does not need to be writable.

# 151563 22-Oct-2005 njl

Cleanups and support code for importing smart battery support.

* Use ACPI_BATT_UNKNOWN instead of constants
* Use maxunit instead of a count of devices since we may have sparse
battery devices in the future. Only userland should be using unit
numbers anyway, so provide a translation function. (Kernel use of
batteries should be restricted to looking up a device_t and calling
methods directly.
* Don't check acpi_BatteryIsPresent() in acpi_battery. Leave it up to
the hardware-specific driver (i.e. cmbat) since smart batteries seem
to not report the "battery present" flag.
* Convert mA to mW if the battery uses those units. CM-batteries only
used mW so this deficiency went unnoticed.
* Clean strings reported in the battery info from any control chars.
* Only dereference the unit from ioctl_arg if the full struct is present.
Unit wouldn't have been used later if it wasn't present but this is
cleaner. Translate the unit if it's not ACPI_BATTERY_ALL_UNITS.
* bzero structs before returning them to usermode for future compat.

Most of this work was submitted by Hans Petter Selasky and then majorly
reworked by myself.

# 148352 23-Jul-2005 njl

Rewrite the acpi_battery interface to allow for other battery types
(i.e., smart battery) and fix various bugs found during the cleanup.

API changes:
* kernel access:
Access to individual batteries is now via devclass_find("battery").
Introduce new methods ACPI_BATT_GET_STATUS (for _BST-formatted data) and
ACPI_BATT_GET_INFO (for _BIF-formatted data). The helper function
acpi_battery_get_battinfo() now takes a device_t instead of a unit #
argument. If dev is NULL, this signifies all batteries.

* ioctl access:
The ACPIIO_BATT_GET_TYPE and ACPIIO_BATT_GET_BATTDESC ioctls have been
removed. Since there is now no need for a mapping between "virtual" unit
and physical unit, usermode programs can just specify the unit directly and
skip the old translation steps. In fact, acpiconf(8) was actually already
doing this and virtual unit was the same as physical unit in all cases
since there was previously only one battery type (acpi_cmbat). Additionally,
we now map the ACPIIO_BATT_GET_BIF and ACPIIO_BATT_GET_BST ioctls for all
batteries, if they provide the associated methods.

* apm compatibility device/ioctls: no change
* sysctl: no change

Since most third-party applications use the apm(4) compat interface, there
should be very few affected applications (if any).

Some improvements of control method battery driver.
- Add a new MIB for battery info expire time in order to make it changeable.
Battery info expire time can be specified by
hw.acpi.battery.info_expire in sec.
- Add own MALLOC type and fix some potential memory leakages.
- Change some frequent printings to verbose printing.
- Stop timeout during acpi_cmbat_get_bst() too. This should reduce
the races with BIF evaluation.
- Remove acpi_cmbat_get_bif() invocation from acpi_cmbat_attach().
This was redundant because this should be called from
acpi_cmbat_timeout() now.


# 85556 26-Oct-2001 iwasaki

Add APM compatibility feature to ACPI.
This emulates APM device node interface APIs (mainly ioctl) and
provides APM services for the applications. The goal is to support
most of APM applications without any changes.
Implemented ioctls in this commit are:
- APMIO_SUSPEND (mapped ACPI S3 as default but changable by sysctl)
- APMIO_STANDBY (mapped ACPI S1 as default but changable by sysctl)
- APMIO_GETINFO and APMIO_GETINFO_OLD
- APMIO_GETPWSTATUS

With above, many APM applications which get batteries, ac-line
info. and transition the system into suspend/standby mode (such as
wmapm, xbatt) should work with ACPI enabled kernel (if ACPI works well :-)
