acpi_gbl_group_module_level_code and acpi_gbl_execute_tables_as_methods were
used to enable different table load behavior. The different table
load behaviors are as follows:
A.) acpi_gbl_group_module_level_code enabled the legacy approach where
ASL if statements are executed after the namespace object has
been loaded.
B.) acpi_gbl_execute_tables_as_methods is currently used to enable the
table load to be a method invocation. This meaning that ASL If
statements are executed in-line rather than deferred until after
the ACPI namespace has been populated. This is the correct
behavior and option A will be removed in the future.
We do not support a table load behavior where these variables are
assigned the same value. In otherwords, we only support option A or B
and do not need acpi_gbl_group_module_level_code to enable A. From now on,
acpi_gbl_execute_tables_as_methods == 0 enables option A and
acpi_gbl_execute_tables_as_methods == 1 enables option B.
Note: option A is expected to be removed in the future and option B
will become the only supported table load behavior.

Pull ACPI updates from Rafael Wysocki:
"These update the ACPICA code in the kernel to the 20180508 upstream
revision and make it support the RT patch, add CPPC v3 support to the
ACPI CPPC library, add a WDAT-based watchdog quirk to prevent clashes
with the RTC, add quirks to the ACPI AC and battery drivers, and
update the ACPI SoC drivers.
Specifics:
- Update the ACPICA code in the kernel to the 20180508 upstream
revision including:
* iASL -tc option enhancement (Bob Moore).
* Debugger improvements (Bob Moore).
* Support for tables larger than 1 MB in acpidump/acpixtract (Bob
Moore).
* Minor fixes and cleanups (Colin Ian King, Toomas Soome).
- Make the ACPICA code in the kernel support the RT patch (Sebastian
Andrzej Siewior, Steven Rostedt).
- Add a kmemleak annotation to the ACPICA code (Larry Finger).
- Add CPPC v3 support to the ACPI CPPC library and fix two issues
related to CPPC (Prashanth Prakash, Al Stone).
- Add an ACPI WDAT-based watchdog quirk to prefer iTCO_wdt on systems
where WDAT clashes with the RTC SRAM (Mika Westerberg).
- Add some quirks to the ACPI AC and battery drivers (Carlo Caione,
Hans de Goede).
- Update the ACPI SoC drivers for Intel (LPSS) and AMD (APD)
platforms (Akshu Agrawal, Hans de Goede).
- Fix up some assorted minor issues (Al Stone, Laszlo Toth, Mathieu
Malaterre)"

Introduce acpi_dispatch_gpe() as a wrapper around acpi_ev_detect_gpe()
for checking if the given GPE (as represented by a GPE device handle
and a GPE number) is currently active and dispatching it (if that's
the case) outside of interrupt context.

ACPICA commit 9605023e7e6d1f05581502766c8cf2905bcc03d9
This patch implements a new infinite loop detection mechanism to replace
the old one, it uses acpi_os_get_timer() to limit loop execution into a
determined time slice.
This is useful in case some hardware/firmware operations really require the
AML interpreter to wait while the old mechanism could expire too fast on
recent machines.
The new mechanism converts old acpi_gbl_max_loop_iterations to store the user
configurable value for the new mechanism in order to allow users to be
still able to configure this value for acpiexec via command line. This
patch also removes wrong initilization code of acpi_gbl_max_loop_iterations
accordingly (it should have been initialized by ACPI_INIT_GLOBAL, and the
default value is also properly tuned for acpiexec). Reported by M. Foronda,
fixed by Lv Zheng.

ACPICA commit 3d837b5d4b1033942b4d91c7d3801a09c3157918
acpi_gbl_verify_table_checksum is used to avoid validating (mapping) an entire
table in OS boot stage. 2nd "Reload" check in acpi_tb_install_standard_table()
is prepared for the same purpose. So this patch combines them together
using a renamed acpi_gbl_enable_table_validation flag. Lv Zheng.
