commit 16245db1489cd9aa579506f64afeeeb13d825a93 upstream. The HP WMI calls may take up to 128 bytes of data as input, and the AML methods implementing the WMI calls, declare a couple of fields for accessing input in different sizes, specifycally the HWMC method contains: CreateField (Arg1, 0x80, 0x0400, D128) Even though we do not use any of the WMI command-types which need a buffer of this size, the APCI interpreter still tries to create it as it is declared in generoc code at the top of the HWMC method which runs before the code looks at which command-type is requested. This results in many of these errors on many different HP laptop models: [ 14.459261] ACPI Error: Field [D128] at 1152 exceeds Buffer [NULL] size 160 (bits) (20170303/dsopcode-236) [ 14.459268] ACPI Error: Method parse/execution failed [\HWMC] (Node ffff8edcc61507f8), AE_AML_BUFFER_LIMIT (20170303/psparse-543) [ 14.459279] ACPI Error: Method parse/execution failed [\_SB.WMID.WMAA] (Node ffff8edcc61523c0), AE_AML_BUFFER_LIMIT (20170303/psparse-543) This commit increases the size of the data element of the bios_args struct to 128 bytes fixing these errors.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
