Vendor import of Intel ACPI-CA 20070320
2007-03-22 17:24:05 +00:00
----------------------------------------
20 March 2007. Summary of changes for version 20070320:
1) ACPI CA Core Subsystem:
Implemented a change to the order of interpretation and
evaluation of AML operand objects within the AML interpreter. The
interpreter now evaluates operands in the order that they appear
in the AML stream (and the corresponding ASL code), instead of in
the reverse order (after the entire operand list has been
parsed). The previous behavior caused several subtle
incompatibilities with the Microsoft AML interpreter as well as
being somewhat non-intuitive. BZ 7871, local BZ 263. Valery
Podrezov.
Implemented a change to the ACPI Global Lock support. All
interfaces to the global lock now allow the same thread to
acquire the lock multiple times. This affects the
AcpiAcquireGlobalLock external interface to the global lock as
well as the internal use of the global lock to support AML fields
-- a control method that is holding the global lock can now
simultaneously access AML fields that require global lock
protection. Previously, in both cases, this would have resulted
in an AE_ALREADY_ACQUIRED exception. The change to
AcpiAcquireGlobalLock is of special interest to drivers for the
Embedded Controller. There is no change to the behavior of the
AML Acquire operator, as this can already be used to acquire a
mutex multiple times by the same thread. BZ 8066. With assistance
from Alexey Starikovskiy.
Fixed a problem where invalid objects could be referenced in the
AML Interpreter after error conditions. During operand
evaluation, ensure that the internal "Return Object" field is
cleared on error and only valid pointers are stored there. Caused
occasional access to deleted objects that resulted in "large
reference count" warning messages. Valery Podrezov.
Fixed a problem where an AE_STACK_OVERFLOW internal exception
could occur on deeply nested control method invocations. BZ 7873,
local BZ 487. Valery Podrezov.
Fixed an internal problem with the handling of result objects on
the interpreter result stack. BZ 7872. Valery Podrezov.
Removed obsolete code that handled the case where AML_NAME_OP is
the target of a reference (Reference.Opcode). This code was no
longer necessary. BZ 7874. Valery Podrezov.
Removed obsolete ACPI_NO_INTEGER64_SUPPORT from two header files.
This was a remnant from the previously discontinued 16-bit
support.
Example Code and Data Size: These are the sizes for the OS-
independent acpica.lib produced by the Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0
32-bit compiler. The debug version of the code includes the debug
output trace mechanism and has a much larger code and data size.
Previous Release:

Non-Debug Version: 78.0K Code, 17.1K Data, 95.1K Total
Debug Version: 155.9K Code, 63.1K Data, 219.0K Total
----------------------------------------
26 January 2007. Summary of changes for version 20070126:
1) ACPI CA Core Subsystem:
Added the 2007 copyright to all module headers and signons. This
affects virtually every file in the ACPICA core subsystem, the
iASL compiler, and the utilities.
Implemented a fix for an incorrect parameter passed to
AcpiTbDeleteTable during a table load. A bad pointer was passed
in the case where the DSDT is overridden, causing a fault in this
case.
Example Code and Data Size: These are the sizes for the OS-
independent acpica.lib produced by the Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0
32-bit compiler. The debug version of the code includes the debug
output trace mechanism and has a much larger code and data size.

----------------------------------------
15 December 2006. Summary of changes for version 20061215:
1) ACPI CA Core Subsystem:
Support for 16-bit ACPICA has been completely removed since it is
no longer necessary and it clutters the code. All 16-bit macros,
types, and conditional compiles have been removed, cleaning up
and simplifying the code across the entire subsystem. DOS support
is no longer needed since the bootable Linux firmware kit is now
available.
The handler for the Global Lock is now removed during
AcpiTerminate to enable a clean subsystem restart, via the
implementation of the AcpiEvRemoveGlobalLockHandler function.
(With assistance from Joel Bretz, HP)
Implemented enhancements to the multithreading support within the
debugger to enable improved multithreading debugging and
evaluation of the subsystem. (Valery Podrezov)
Debugger: Enhanced the Statistics/Memory command to emit the
total (maximum) memory used during the execution, as well as the
maximum memory consumed by each of the various object types.
(Valery Podrezov)
Example Code and Data Size: These are the sizes for the OS-
independent acpica.lib produced by the Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0
32-bit compiler. The debug version of the code includes the debug
output trace mechanism and has a much larger code and data size.
Previous Release:

Debug Version: 155.2K Code, 63.1K Data, 218.3K Total
Current Release:
Non-Debug Version: 78.0K Code, 17.1K Data, 95.1K Total
Debug Version: 155.8K Code, 63.3K Data, 219.1K Total
2) iASL Compiler/Disassembler and Tools:
AcpiExec: Implemented a new option (-m) to display full memory
use statistics upon subsystem/program termination. (Valery
Podrezov)
----------------------------------------
09 November 2006. Summary of changes for version 20061109:
1) ACPI CA Core Subsystem:
Optimized the Load ASL operator in the case where the source
operand is an operation region. Simply map the operation region
memory, instead of performing a bytewise read. (Region must be of
type SystemMemory, see below.)
Fixed the Load ASL operator for the case where the source operand
is a region field. A buffer object is also allowed as the source
operand. BZ 480
Fixed a problem where the Load ASL operator allowed the source
operand to be an operation region of any type. It is now
restricted to regions of type SystemMemory, as per the ACPI
specification. BZ 481
Additional cleanup and optimizations for the new Table Manager
code.
AcpiEnable will now fail if all of the required ACPI tables are
not loaded (FADT, FACS, DSDT). BZ 477
Added #pragma pack(8/4) to acobject.h to ensure that the
structures in this header are always compiled as aligned. The
ACPI_OPERAND_OBJECT has been manually optimized to be aligned and
will not work if it is byte-packed.
Example Code and Data Size: These are the sizes for the OS-
independent acpica.lib produced by the Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0
32-bit compiler. The debug version of the code includes the debug
output trace mechanism and has a much larger code and data size.

Current Release:
Non-Debug Version: 77.9K Code, 17.0K Data, 94.9K Total
Debug Version: 155.2K Code, 63.1K Data, 218.3K Total
2) iASL Compiler/Disassembler and Tools:
Fixed a problem where the presence of the _OSI predefined control
method within complex expressions could cause an internal
compiler error.
AcpiExec: Implemented full region support for multiple address
spaces. SpaceId is now part of the REGION object. BZ 429
----------------------------------------
11 October 2006. Summary of changes for version 20061011:
1) ACPI CA Core Subsystem:
Completed an AML interpreter performance enhancement for control
method execution. Previously a 2-pass parse/execution, control
methods are now completely parsed and executed in a single pass.
This improves overall interpreter performance by ~25%, reduces
code size, and reduces CPU stack use. (Valery Podrezov +
interpreter changes in version 20051202 that eliminated namespace
loading during the pass one parse.)
Implemented _CID support for PCI Root Bridge detection. If the
_HID does not match the predefined PCI Root Bridge IDs, the _CID
list (if present) is now obtained and also checked for an ID
match.
Implemented additional support for the PCI _ADR execution:
upsearch until a device scope is found before executing _ADR.
This allows PCI_Config operation regions to be declared locally
within control methods underneath PCI device objects.
Fixed a problem with a possible race condition between threads
executing AcpiWalkNamespace and the AML interpreter. This
condition was removed by modifying AcpiWalkNamespace to (by
default) ignore all temporary namespace entries created during
any concurrent control method execution. An additional namespace
race condition is known to exist between AcpiWalkNamespace and
the Load/Unload ASL operators and is still under investigation.
Restructured the AML ParseLoop function, breaking it into several
subfunctions in order to reduce CPU stack use and improve
maintainability. (Mikhail Kouzmich)
AcpiGetHandle: Fix for parameter validation to detect invalid
combinations of prefix handle and pathname. BZ 478
Example Code and Data Size: These are the sizes for the OS-
independent acpica.lib produced by the Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0
32-bit compiler. The debug version of the code includes the debug
output trace mechanism and has a much larger code and data size.

Current Release:
Non-Debug Version: 78.1K Code, 17.1K Data, 95.2K Total
Debug Version: 155.4K Code, 63.1K Data, 218.5K Total
2) iASL Compiler/Disassembler and Tools:
Ported the -g option (get local ACPI tables) to the new ACPICA
Table Manager to restore original behavior.
----------------------------------------
27 September 2006. Summary of changes for version 20060927:
1) ACPI CA Core Subsystem:
Removed the "Flags" parameter from AcpiGetRegister and
AcpiSetRegister. These functions now use a spinlock for mutual
exclusion and the interrupt level indication flag is not needed.
Fixed a problem with the Global Lock where the lock could appear
to be obtained before it is actually obtained. The global lock
semaphore was inadvertently created with one unit instead of zero
units. (BZ 464) Fiodor Suietov.
Fixed a possible memory leak and fault in
AcpiExResolveObjectToValue during a read from a buffer or region
field. (BZ 458) Fiodor Suietov.
Example Code and Data Size: These are the sizes for the OS-
independent acpica.lib produced by the Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0
32-bit compiler. The debug version of the code includes the debug
output trace mechanism and has a much larger code and data size.
Previous Release:
Non-Debug Version: 77.9K Code, 17.1K Data, 95.0K Total
Debug Version: 154.7K Code, 63.0K Data, 217.7K Total
Current Release:
Non-Debug Version: 77.9K Code, 17.1K Data, 95.0K Total
Debug Version: 154.6K Code, 63.0K Data, 217.6K Total
2) iASL Compiler/Disassembler and Tools:
Fixed a compilation problem with the pre-defined Resource
Descriptor field names where an "object does not exist" error
could be incorrectly generated if the parent ResourceTemplate
pathname places the template within a different namespace scope
than the current scope. (BZ 7212)
Fixed a problem where the compiler could hang after syntax errors
detected in an ElseIf construct. (BZ 453)
Fixed a problem with the AmlFilename parameter to the
DefinitionBlock() operator. An incorrect output filename was
produced when this parameter was a null string (""). Now, the
original input filename is used as the AML output filename, with
an ".aml" extension.
Implemented a generic batch command mode for the AcpiExec utility
(execute any AML debugger command) (Valery Podrezov).
----------------------------------------
12 September 2006. Summary of changes for version 20060912:
1) ACPI CA Core Subsystem:
Enhanced the implementation of the "serialized mode" of the
interpreter (enabled via the AcpiGbl_AllMethodsSerialized flag.)
When this mode is specified, instead of creating a serialization
semaphore per control method, the interpreter lock is simply no
longer released before a blocking operation during control method
execution. This effectively makes the AML Interpreter single-
threaded. The overhead of a semaphore per-method is eliminated.
Fixed a regression where an error was no longer emitted if a
control method attempts to create 2 objects of the same name.
This once again returns AE_ALREADY_EXISTS. When this exception
occurs, it invokes the mechanism that will dynamically serialize
the control method to possible prevent future errors. (BZ 440)
Integrated a fix for a problem with PCI Express HID detection in
the PCI Config Space setup procedure. (BZ 7145)
Moved all FADT-related functions to a new file, tbfadt.c.
Eliminated the AcpiHwInitialize function - the FADT registers are
now validated when the table is loaded.
Added two new warnings during FADT verification - 1) if the FADT
is larger than the largest known FADT version, and 2) if there is
a mismatch between a 32-bit block address and the 64-bit X
counterpart (when both are non-zero.)
Example Code and Data Size: These are the sizes for the OS-
independent acpica.lib produced by the Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0
32-bit compiler. The debug version of the code includes the debug
output trace mechanism and has a much larger code and data size.
Previous Release:
Non-Debug Version: 77.9K Code, 16.7K Data, 94.6K Total
Debug Version: 154.9K Code, 62.6K Data, 217.5K Total
Current Release:
Non-Debug Version: 77.9K Code, 17.1K Data, 95.0K Total
Debug Version: 154.7K Code, 63.0K Data, 217.7K Total
2) iASL Compiler/Disassembler and Tools:
Fixed a problem with the implementation of the Switch() operator
where the temporary variable was declared too close to the actual
Switch, instead of at method level. This could cause a problem if
the Switch() operator is within a while loop, causing an error on
the second iteration. (BZ 460)
Disassembler - fix for error emitted for unknown type for target
of scope operator. Now, ignore it and continue.
Disassembly of an FADT now verifies the input FADT and reports
any errors found. Fix for proper disassembly of full-sized (ACPI
2.0) FADTs.
Disassembly of raw data buffers with byte initialization data now
prefixes each output line with the current buffer offset.
Disassembly of ASF! table now includes all variable-length data
fields at the end of some of the subtables.
The disassembler now emits a comment if a buffer appears to be a
ResourceTemplate, but cannot be disassembled as such because the
EndTag does not appear at the very end of the buffer.
AcpiExec - Added the "-t" command line option to enable the
serialized mode of the AML interpreter.
----------------------------------------
31 August 2006. Summary of changes for version 20060831:
1) ACPI CA Core Subsystem:
Miscellaneous fixes for the Table Manager:
- Correctly initialize internal common FADT for all 64-bit "X"
fields
- Fixed a couple table mapping issues during table load
- Fixed a couple alignment issues for IA64
- Initialize input array to zero in AcpiInitializeTables
- Additional parameter validation for AcpiGetTable,
AcpiGetTableHeader, AcpiGetTableByIndex
Change for GPE support: when a "wake" GPE is received, all wake
GPEs are now immediately disabled to prevent the waking GPE from
firing again and to prevent other wake GPEs from interrupting the
wake process.
Added the AcpiGpeCount global that tracks the number of processed
GPEs, to be used for debugging systems with a large number of
ACPI interrupts.
Implemented support for the "DMAR" ACPI table (DMA Redirection
Table) in both the ACPICA headers and the disassembler.
Example Code and Data Size: These are the sizes for the OS-
independent acpica.lib produced by the Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0
32-bit compiler. The debug version of the code includes the debug
output trace mechanism and has a much larger code and data size.

2) iASL Compiler/Disassembler and Tools:
Disassembler support for the DMAR ACPI table.
----------------------------------------
23 August 2006. Summary of changes for version 20060823:
1) ACPI CA Core Subsystem:
The Table Manager component has been completely redesigned and
reimplemented. The new design is much simpler, and reduces the
overall code and data size of the kernel-resident ACPICA by
approximately 5%. Also, it is now possible to obtain the ACPI
tables very early during kernel initialization, even before
dynamic memory management is initialized. (Alexey Starikovskiy,
Fiodor Suietov, Bob Moore)
Obsolete ACPICA interfaces:
- AcpiGetFirmwareTable: Use AcpiGetTable instead (works at early
kernel init time).
- AcpiLoadTable: Not needed.
- AcpiUnloadTable: Not needed.
New ACPICA interfaces:
- AcpiInitializeTables: Must be called before the table manager
can be used.
- AcpiReallocateRootTable: Used to transfer the root table to
dynamically allocated memory after it becomes available.
- AcpiGetTableByIndex: Allows the host to easily enumerate all
ACPI tables in the RSDT/XSDT.
Other ACPICA changes:
- AcpiGetTableHeader returns the actual mapped table header, not
a copy. Use AcpiOsUnmapMemory to free this mapping.
- AcpiGetTable returns the actual mapped table. The mapping is
managed internally and must not be deleted by the caller. Use of
this interface causes no additional dynamic memory allocation.
- AcpiFindRootPointer: Support for physical addressing has been
eliminated, it appeared to be unused.
- The interface to AcpiOsMapMemory has changed to be consistent
with the other allocation interfaces.
- The interface to AcpiOsGetRootPointer has changed to eliminate
unnecessary parameters.
- ACPI_PHYSICAL_ADDRESS is now 32 bits on 32-bit platforms, 64
bits on 64-bit platforms. Was previously 64 bits on all
platforms.
- The interface to the ACPI Global Lock acquire/release macros
have changed slightly since ACPICA no longer keeps a local copy
of the FACS with a constructed pointer to the actual global lock.
Porting to the new table manager:
- AcpiInitializeTables: Must be called once, and can be called
anytime during the OS initialization process. It allows the host
to specify an area of memory to be used to store the internal
version of the RSDT/XSDT (root table). This allows the host to
access ACPI tables before memory management is initialized and
running.
- AcpiReallocateRootTable: Can be called after memory management
is running to copy the root table to a dynamically allocated
array, freeing up the scratch memory specified in the call to
AcpiInitializeTables.
- AcpiSubsystemInitialize: This existing interface is independent
of the Table Manager, and does not have to be called before the
Table Manager can be used, it only must be called before the rest
of ACPICA can be used.
- ACPI Tables: Some changes have been made to the names and
structure of the actbl.h and actbl1.h header files and may
require changes to existing code. For example, bitfields have
been completely removed because of their lack of portability
across C compilers.
- Update interfaces to the Global Lock acquire/release macros if
local versions are used. (see acwin.h)
Obsolete files: tbconvrt.c, tbget.c, tbgetall.c, tbrsdt.c
New files: tbfind.c
Example Code and Data Size: These are the sizes for the OS-
independent acpica.lib produced by the Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0
32-bit compiler. The debug version of the code includes the debug
output trace mechanism and has a much larger code and data size.

----------------------------------------
21 July 2006. Summary of changes for version 20060721:
1) ACPI CA Core Subsystem:
The full source code for the ASL test suite used to validate the
iASL compiler and the ACPICA core subsystem is being released
with the ACPICA source for the first time. The source is
contained in a separate package and consists of over 1100 files
that exercise all ASL/AML operators. The package should appear on
the Intel/ACPI web site shortly. (Valery Podrezov, Fiodor
Suietov)
Completed a new design and implementation for support of the ACPI
Global Lock. On the OS side, the global lock is now treated as a
standard AML mutex. Previously, multiple OS threads could
"acquire" the global lock simultaneously. However, this could
cause the BIOS to be starved out of the lock - especially in
cases such as the Embedded Controller driver where there is a
tight coupling between the OS and the BIOS.
Implemented an optimization for the ACPI Global Lock interrupt
mechanism. The Global Lock interrupt handler no longer queues the
execution of a separate thread to signal the global lock
semaphore. Instead, the semaphore is signaled directly from the
interrupt handler.
Implemented support within the AML interpreter for package
objects that contain a larger AML length (package list length)
than the package element count. In this case, the length of the
package is truncated to match the package element count. Some
BIOS code apparently modifies the package length on the fly, and
this change supports this behavior. Provides compatibility with
the MS AML interpreter. (With assistance from Fiodor Suietov)
Implemented a temporary fix for the BankValue parameter of a Bank
Field to support all constant values, now including the Zero and
One opcodes. Evaluation of this parameter must eventually be
converted to a full TermArg evaluation. A not-implemented error
is now returned (temporarily) for non-constant values for this
parameter.
Fixed problem reports (Fiodor Suietov) integrated:
- Fix for premature object deletion after CopyObject on Operation
Region (BZ 350)
Example Code and Data Size: These are the sizes for the OS-
independent acpica.lib produced by the Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0
32-bit compiler. The debug version of the code includes the debug
output trace mechanism and has a much larger code and data size.

2) iASL Compiler/Disassembler and Tools:
No changes for this release.
----------------------------------------
07 July 2006. Summary of changes for version 20060707:
1) ACPI CA Core Subsystem:
Added the ACPI_PACKED_POINTERS_NOT_SUPPORTED macro to support C
compilers that do not allow the initialization of address
pointers within packed structures - even though the hardware
itself may support misaligned transfers. Some of the debug data
structures are packed by default to minimize size.
Added an error message for the case where AcpiOsGetThreadId()
returns zero. A non-zero value is required by the core ACPICA
code to ensure the proper operation of AML mutexes and recursive
control methods.
The DSDT is now the only ACPI table that determines whether the
AML interpreter is in 32-bit or 64-bit mode. Not really a
functional change, but the hooks for per-table 32/64 switching
have been removed from the code. A clarification to the ACPI
specification is forthcoming in ACPI 3.0B.
Fixed a possible leak of an OwnerID in the error path of
AcpiTbInitTableDescriptor (tbinstal.c), and migrated all table
OwnerID deletion to a single place in AcpiTbUninstallTable to
correct possible leaks when using the AcpiTbDeleteTablesByType
interface (with assistance from Lance Ortiz.)
Fixed a problem with Serialized control methods where the
semaphore associated with the method could be over-signaled after
multiple method invocations.
Fixed two issues with the locking of the internal namespace data
structure. Both the Unload() operator and AcpiUnloadTable
interface now lock the namespace during the namespace deletion
associated with the table unload (with assistance from Linn
Crosetto.)
Fixed problem reports (Valery Podrezov) integrated:
- Eliminate unnecessary memory allocation for CreateXxxxField (BZ
5426)
Fixed problem reports (Fiodor Suietov) integrated:
- Incomplete cleanup branches in AcpiTbGetTableRsdt (BZ 369)
- On Address Space handler deletion, needless deactivation call
(BZ 374)
- AcpiRemoveAddressSpaceHandler: validate Device handle parameter
(BZ 375)
- Possible memory leak, Notify sub-objects of Processor, Power,
ThermalZone (BZ 376)
- AcpiRemoveAddressSpaceHandler: validate Handler parameter (BZ
378)
- Minimum Length of RSDT should be validated (BZ 379)
- AcpiRemoveNotifyHandler: return AE_NOT_EXIST if Processor Obj
has no Handler (BZ (380)
- AcpiUnloadTable: return AE_NOT_EXIST if no table of specified
type loaded (BZ 381)
Example Code and Data Size: These are the sizes for the OS-
independent acpica.lib produced by the Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0
32-bit compiler. The debug version of the code includes the debug
output trace mechanism and has a much larger code and data size.

2) iASL Compiler/Disassembler and Tools:
Fixed problem reports:
Compiler segfault when ASL contains a long (>1024) String
declaration (BZ 436)
----------------------------------------
23 June 2006. Summary of changes for version 20060623:
1) ACPI CA Core Subsystem:
Implemented a new ACPI_SPINLOCK type for the OSL lock interfaces.
This allows the type to be customized to the host OS for improved
efficiency (since a spinlock is usually a very small object.)
Implemented support for "ignored" bits in the ACPI registers.
According to the ACPI specification, these bits should be
preserved when writing the registers via a read/modify/write
cycle. There are 3 bits preserved in this manner: PM1_CONTROL[0]
(SCI_EN), PM1_CONTROL[9], and PM1_STATUS[11].
Implemented the initial deployment of new OSL mutex interfaces.
Since some host operating systems have separate mutex and
semaphore objects, this feature was requested. The base code now
uses mutexes (and the new mutex interfaces) wherever a binary
semaphore was used previously. However, for the current release,
the mutex interfaces are defined as macros to map them to the
existing semaphore interfaces. Therefore, no OSL changes are
required at this time. (See acpiosxf.h)
Fixed several problems with the support for the control method
SyncLevel parameter. The SyncLevel now works according to the
ACPI specification and in concert with the Mutex SyncLevel
parameter, since the current SyncLevel is a property of the
executing thread. Mutual exclusion for control methods is now
implemented with a mutex instead of a semaphore.
Fixed three instances of the use of the C shift operator in the
bitfield support code (exfldio.c) to avoid the use of a shift
value larger than the target data width. The behavior of C
compilers is undefined in this case and can cause unpredictable
results, and therefore the case must be detected and avoided.
(Fiodor Suietov)
Added an info message whenever an SSDT or OEM table is loaded
dynamically via the Load() or LoadTable() ASL operators. This
should improve debugging capability since it will show exactly
what tables have been loaded (beyond the tables present in the
RSDT/XSDT.)
Example Code and Data Size: These are the sizes for the OS-
independent acpica.lib produced by the Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0
32-bit compiler. The debug version of the code includes the debug

----------------------------------------
08 June 2006. Summary of changes for version 20060608:
1) ACPI CA Core Subsystem:
Converted the locking mutex used for the ACPI hardware to a
spinlock. This change should eliminate all problems caused by
attempting to acquire a semaphore at interrupt level, and it
means that all ACPICA external interfaces that directly access
the ACPI hardware can be safely called from interrupt level. OSL
code that implements the semaphore interfaces should be able to
eliminate any workarounds for being called at interrupt level.
Fixed a regression introduced in 20060526 where the ACPI device
initialization could be prematurely aborted with an AE_NOT_FOUND
if a device did not have an optional _INI method.
Fixed an IndexField issue where a write to the Data Register
should be limited in size to the AccessSize (width) of the
IndexField itself. (BZ 433, Fiodor Suietov)
Fixed problem reports (Valery Podrezov) integrated:
- Allow store of ThermalZone objects to Debug object (BZ
5369/5370)
Fixed problem reports (Fiodor Suietov) integrated:
- AcpiGetTableHeader doesn't handle multiple instances correctly
(BZ 364)
Removed four global mutexes that were obsolete and were no longer
being used.
Example Code and Data Size: These are the sizes for the OS-
independent acpica.lib produced by the Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0
32-bit compiler. The debug version of the code includes the debug
output trace mechanism and has a much larger code and data size.

2) iASL Compiler/Disassembler and Tools:
Fixed a fault when using -g option (get tables from registry) on
Windows machines.
Fixed problem reports integrated:
- Generate error if CreateField NumBits parameter is zero. (BZ
405)
- Fault if Offset/Length in Field unit is very large (BZ 432,
Fiodor Suietov)
- Global table revision override (-r) is ignored (BZ 413)
----------------------------------------
26 May 2006. Summary of changes for version 20060526:
1) ACPI CA Core Subsystem:
Restructured, flattened, and simplified the internal interfaces
for namespace object evaluation - resulting in smaller code, less
CPU stack use, and fewer interfaces. (With assistance from
Mikhail Kouzmich)
Fixed a problem with the CopyObject operator where the first
parameter was not typed correctly for the parser, interpreter,
compiler, and disassembler. Caused various errors and unexpected
behavior.
Fixed a problem where a ShiftLeft or ShiftRight of more than 64
bits produced incorrect results with some C compilers. Since the
behavior of C compilers when the shift value is larger than the
datatype width is apparently not well defined, the interpreter
now detects this condition and simply returns zero as expected in
all such cases. (BZ 395)
Fixed problem reports (Valery Podrezov) integrated:
- Update String-to-Integer conversion to match ACPI 3.0A spec (BZ
5329)
- Allow interpreter to handle nested method declarations (BZ
5361)
Fixed problem reports (Fiodor Suietov) integrated:
- AcpiTerminate doesn't free debug memory allocation list objects
(BZ 355)
- After Core Subsystem shutdown, AcpiSubsystemStatus returns
AE_OK (BZ 356)
- AcpiOsUnmapMemory for RSDP can be invoked inconsistently (BZ
357)
- Resource Manager should return AE_TYPE for non-device objects
(BZ 358)
- Incomplete cleanup branch in AcpiNsEvaluateRelative (BZ 359)
- Use AcpiOsFree instead of ACPI_FREE in AcpiRsSetSrsMethodData
(BZ 360)
- Incomplete cleanup branch in AcpiPsParseAml (BZ 361)
- Incomplete cleanup branch in AcpiDsDeleteWalkState (BZ 362)
- AcpiGetTableHeader returns AE_NO_ACPI_TABLES until DSDT is
loaded (BZ 365)
- Status of the Global Initialization Handler call not used (BZ
366)
- Incorrect object parameter to Global Initialization Handler (BZ
367)
Example Code and Data Size: These are the sizes for the OS-
independent acpica.lib produced by the Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0
32-bit compiler. The debug version of the code includes the debug
output trace mechanism and has a much larger code and data size.

Non-Debug Version: 80.0K Code, 17.7K Data, 97.7K Total
Debug Version: 160.3K Code, 64.9K Data, 225.2K Total
2) iASL Compiler/Disassembler and Tools:
Modified the parser to allow the names IO, DMA, and IRQ to be
used as namespace identifiers with no collision with existing
resource descriptor macro names. This provides compatibility with
other ASL compilers and is most useful for
disassembly/recompilation of existing tables without parse
errors. (With assistance from Thomas Renninger)
Disassembler: fixed an incorrect disassembly problem with the
DataTableRegion and CopyObject operators. Fixed a possible fault
during disassembly of some Alias operators.
----------------------------------------
12 May 2006. Summary of changes for version 20060512:
1) ACPI CA Core Subsystem:
Replaced the AcpiOsQueueForExecution interface with a new
interface named AcpiOsExecute. The major difference is that the
new interface does not have a Priority parameter, this appeared
to be useless and has been replaced by a Type parameter. The Type
tells the host what type of execution is being requested, such as
global lock handler, notify handler, GPE handler, etc. This
allows the host to queue and execute the request as appropriate
for the request type, possibly using different work queues and
different priorities for the various request types. This enables
fixes for multithreading deadlock problems such as BZ #5534, and
will require changes to all existing OS interface layers. (Alexey
Starikovskiy and Bob Moore)
Fixed a possible memory leak associated with the support for the
so-called "implicit return" ACPI extension. Reported by FreeBSD,
BZ #6514. (Fiodor Suietov)
Fixed a problem with the Load() operator where a table load from
an operation region could overwrite an internal table buffer by
up to 7 bytes and cause alignment faults on IPF systems. (With
assistance from Luming Yu)
Example Code and Data Size: These are the sizes for the OS-
independent acpica.lib produced by the Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0
32-bit compiler. The debug version of the code includes the debug
output trace mechanism and has a much larger code and data size.

Debug Version: 160.1K Code, 65.2K Data, 225.3K Total
Current Release:
Non-Debug Version: 79.8K Code, 17.7K Data, 97.5K Total
Debug Version: 160.5K Code, 65.1K Data, 225.6K Total
2) iASL Compiler/Disassembler and Tools:
Disassembler: Implemented support to cross reference the internal
namespace and automatically generate ASL External() statements
for symbols not defined within the current table being
disassembled. This will simplify the disassembly and
recompilation of interdependent tables such as SSDTs since these
statements will no longer have to be added manually.
Disassembler: Implemented experimental support to automatically
detect invocations of external control methods and generate
appropriate External() statements. This is problematic because
the AML cannot be correctly parsed until the number of arguments
for each control method is known. Currently, standalone method
invocations and invocations as the source operand of a Store()
statement are supported.
Disassembler: Implemented support for the ASL pseudo-operators
LNotEqual, LLessEqual, and LGreaterEqual. Previously disassembled
as LNot(LEqual()), LNot(LGreater()), and LNot(LLess()), this
makes the disassembled ASL code more readable and likely closer
to the original ASL source.
----------------------------------------
21 April 2006. Summary of changes for version 20060421:
1) ACPI CA Core Subsystem:
Removed a device initialization optimization introduced in
20051216 where the _STA method was not run unless an _INI was
also present for the same device. This optimization could cause
problems because it could allow _INI methods to be run within a
not-present device subtree. (If a not-present device had no _INI,
_STA would not be run, the not-present status would not be
discovered, and the children of the device would be incorrectly
traversed.)
Implemented a new _STA optimization where namespace subtrees that
do not contain _INI are identified and ignored during device
initialization. Selectively running _STA can significantly
improve boot time on large machines (with assistance from Len
Brown.)
Implemented support for the device initialization case where the
returned _STA flags indicate a device not-present but
functioning. In this case, _INI is not run, but the device
children are examined for presence, as per the ACPI
specification.
Implemented an additional change to the IndexField support in
order to conform to MS behavior. The value written to the Index
Register is not simply a byte offset, it is a byte offset in
units of the access width of the parent Index Field. (Fiodor
Suietov)
Defined and deployed a new OSL interface, AcpiOsValidateAddress.
This interface is called during the creation of all AML operation
regions, and allows the host OS to exert control over what
addresses it will allow the AML code to access. Operation Regions
whose addresses are disallowed will cause a runtime exception
when they are actually accessed (will not affect or abort table
loading.) See oswinxf or osunixxf for an example implementation.
Defined and deployed a new OSL interface,
AcpiOsValidateInterface. This interface allows the host OS to
match the various "optional" interface/behavior strings for the
_OSI predefined control method as appropriate (with assistance
from Bjorn Helgaas.) See oswinxf or osunixxf for an example
implementation.
Restructured and corrected various problems in the exception
handling code paths within DsCallControlMethod and
DsTerminateControlMethod in dsmethod (with assistance from
Takayoshi Kochi.)
Modified the Linux source converter to ignore quoted string
literals while converting identifiers from mixed to lower case.
This will correct problems with the disassembler and other areas
where such strings must not be modified.
The ACPI_FUNCTION_* macros no longer require quotes around the
function name. This allows the Linux source converter to convert
the names, now that the converter ignores quoted strings.
Example Code and Data Size: These are the sizes for the OS-
independent acpica.lib produced by the Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0
32-bit compiler. The debug version of the code includes the debug
output trace mechanism and has a much larger code and data size.
Previous Release:

Debug Version: 158.9K Code, 64.9K Data, 223.8K Total
Current Release:
Non-Debug Version: 79.7K Code, 17.7K Data, 97.4K Total
Debug Version: 160.1K Code, 65.2K Data, 225.3K Total
2) iASL Compiler/Disassembler and Tools:
Implemented 3 new warnings for iASL, and implemented multiple
warning levels (w2 flag).
1) Ignored timeouts: If the TimeoutValue parameter to Wait or
Acquire is not WAIT_FOREVER (0xFFFF) and the code does not
examine the return value to check for the possible timeout, a
warning is issued.
2) Useless operators: If an ASL operator does not specify an
optional target operand and it also does not use the function
return value from the operator, a warning is issued since the
operator effectively does nothing.
3) Unreferenced objects: If a namespace object is created, but
never referenced, a warning is issued. This is a warning level 2
since there are cases where this is ok, such as when a secondary
table is loaded that uses the unreferenced objects. Even so, care
is taken to only flag objects that don't look like they will ever
be used. For example, the reserved methods (starting with an
underscore) are usually not referenced because it is expected
that the OS will invoke them.
----------------------------------------
31 March 2006. Summary of changes for version 20060331:
1) ACPI CA Core Subsystem:
Implemented header file support for the following additional ACPI
tables: ASF!, BOOT, CPEP, DBGP, MCFG, SPCR, SPMI, TCPA, and WDRT.
With this support, all current and known ACPI tables are now
defined in the ACPICA headers and are available for use by device
drivers and other software.
Implemented support to allow tables that contain ACPI names with
invalid characters to be loaded. Previously, this would cause the
table load to fail, but since there are several known cases of
such tables on existing machines, this change was made to enable
ACPI support for them. Also, this matches the behavior of the
Microsoft ACPI implementation.
Fixed a couple regressions introduced during the memory
optimization in the 20060317 release. The namespace node
definition required additional reorganization and an internal
datatype that had been changed to 8-bit was restored to 32-bit.
(Valery Podrezov)
Fixed a problem where a null pointer passed to
AcpiUtDeleteGenericState could be passed through to
AcpiOsReleaseObject which is unexpected. Such null pointers are
now trapped and ignored, matching the behavior of the previous
implementation before the deployment of AcpiOsReleaseObject.
(Valery Podrezov, Fiodor Suietov)
Fixed a memory mapping leak during the deletion of a SystemMemory
operation region where a cached memory mapping was not deleted.
This became a noticeable problem for operation regions that are
defined within frequently used control methods. (Dana Meyers)
Reorganized the ACPI table header files into two main files: one
for the ACPI tables consumed by the ACPICA core, and another for
the miscellaneous ACPI tables that are consumed by the drivers
and other software. The various FADT definitions were merged into
one common section and three different tables (ACPI 1.0, 1.0+,
and 2.0)
Example Code and Data Size: These are the sizes for the OS-
independent acpica.lib produced by the Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0
32-bit compiler. The debug version of the code includes the debug
output trace mechanism and has a much larger code and data size.

Debug Version: 158.7K Code, 64.8K Data, 223.5K Total
Current Release:
Non-Debug Version: 81.1K Code, 17.7K Data, 98.8K Total
Debug Version: 158.9K Code, 64.9K Data, 223.8K Total
2) iASL Compiler/Disassembler and Tools:
Disassembler: Implemented support to decode and format all non-
AML ACPI tables (tables other than DSDTs and SSDTs.) This
includes the new tables added to the ACPICA headers, therefore
all current and known ACPI tables are supported.
Disassembler: The change to allow ACPI names with invalid
characters also enables the disassembly of such tables. Invalid
characters within names are changed to '*' to make the name
printable; the iASL compiler will still generate an error for
such names, however, since this is an invalid ACPI character.
Implemented an option for AcpiXtract (-a) to extract all tables
found in the input file. The default invocation extracts only the
DSDTs and SSDTs.
Fixed a couple of gcc generation issues for iASL and AcpiExec and
added a makefile for the AcpiXtract utility.
----------------------------------------
17 March 2006. Summary of changes for version 20060317:
1) ACPI CA Core Subsystem:
Implemented the use of a cache object for all internal namespace
nodes. Since there are about 1000 static nodes in a typical
system, this will decrease memory use for cache implementations
that minimize per-allocation overhead (such as a slab allocator.)
Removed the reference count mechanism for internal namespace
nodes, since it was deemed unnecessary. This reduces the size of
each namespace node by about 5%-10% on all platforms. Nodes are
now 20 bytes for the 32-bit case, and 32 bytes for the 64-bit
case.
Optimized several internal data structures to reduce object size
on 64-bit platforms by packing data within the 64-bit alignment.
This includes the frequently used ACPI_OPERAND_OBJECT, of which
there can be ~1000 static instances corresponding to the
namespace objects.
Added two new strings for the predefined _OSI method: "Windows
2001.1 SP1" and "Windows 2006".
Split the allocation tracking mechanism out to a separate file,
from utalloc.c to uttrack.c. This mechanism appears to be only
useful for application-level code. Kernels may wish to not
include uttrack.c in distributions.
Removed all remnants of the obsolete ACPI_REPORT_* macros and the
associated code. (These macros have been replaced by the
ACPI_ERROR and ACPI_WARNING macros.)
Code and Data Size: These are the sizes for the acpica.lib
produced by the Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0 32-bit compiler. The
values do not include any ACPI driver or OSPM code. The debug
version of the code includes the debug output trace mechanism and
has a much larger code and data size. Note that these values will
vary depending on the efficiency of the compiler and the compiler
options used during generation.
Previous Release:

Debug Version: 161.6K Code, 65.7K Data, 227.3K Total
Current Release:
Non-Debug Version: 80.9K Code, 17.7K Data, 98.6K Total
Debug Version: 158.7K Code, 64.8K Data, 223.5K Total
2) iASL Compiler/Disassembler and Tools:
Implemented an ANSI C version of the acpixtract utility. This
version will automatically extract the DSDT and all SSDTs from
the input acpidump text file and dump the binary output to
separate files. It can also display a summary of the input file
including the headers for each table found and will extract any
single ACPI table, with any signature. (See
source/tools/acpixtract)
----------------------------------------
10 March 2006. Summary of changes for version 20060310:
1) ACPI CA Core Subsystem:
Tagged all external interfaces to the subsystem with the new
ACPI_EXPORT_SYMBOL macro. This macro can be defined as necessary
to assist kernel integration. For Linux, the macro resolves to
the EXPORT_SYMBOL macro. The default definition is NULL.
Added the ACPI_THREAD_ID type for the return value from
AcpiOsGetThreadId. This allows the host to define this as
necessary to simplify kernel integration. The default definition
is ACPI_NATIVE_UINT.
Fixed two interpreter problems related to error processing, the
deletion of objects, and placing invalid pointers onto the
internal operator result stack. BZ 6028, 6151 (Valery Podrezov)
Increased the reference count threshold where a warning is
emitted for large reference counts in order to eliminate
unnecessary warnings on systems with large namespaces (especially
64-bit.) Increased the value from 0x400 to 0x800.
Due to universal disagreement as to the meaning of the 'c' in the
calloc() function, the ACPI_MEM_CALLOCATE macro has been renamed
to ACPI_ALLOCATE_ZEROED so that the purpose of the interface is
'clear'. ACPI_MEM_ALLOCATE and ACPI_MEM_FREE are renamed to
ACPI_ALLOCATE and ACPI_FREE.
Code and Data Size: These are the sizes for the acpica.lib
produced by the Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0 32-bit compiler. The
values do not include any ACPI driver or OSPM code. The debug
version of the code includes the debug output trace mechanism and
has a much larger code and data size. Note that these values will
vary depending on the efficiency of the compiler and the compiler
options used during generation.

Current Release:
Non-Debug Version: 81.1K Code, 17.8K Data, 98.9K Total
Debug Version: 161.6K Code, 65.7K Data, 227.3K Total
2) iASL Compiler/Disassembler:
Disassembler: implemented support for symbolic resource
descriptor references. If a CreateXxxxField operator references a
fixed offset within a resource descriptor, a name is assigned to
the descriptor and the offset is translated to the appropriate
resource tag and pathname. The addition of this support brings
the disassembled code very close to the original ASL source code
and helps eliminate run-time errors when the disassembled code is
modified (and recompiled) in such a way as to invalidate the
original fixed offsets.
Implemented support for a Descriptor Name as the last parameter
to the ASL Register() macro. This parameter was inadvertently
left out of the ACPI specification, and will be added for ACPI
3.0b.
Fixed a problem where the use of the "_OSI" string (versus the
full path "\_OSI") caused an internal compiler error. ("No back
ptr to op")
Fixed a problem with the error message that occurs when an
invalid string is used for a _HID object (such as one with an
embedded asterisk: "*PNP010A".) The correct message is now
displayed.
----------------------------------------
17 February 2006. Summary of changes for version 20060217:
1) ACPI CA Core Subsystem:
Implemented a change to the IndexField support to match the
behavior of the Microsoft AML interpreter. The value written to
the Index register is now a byte offset, no longer an index based
upon the width of the Data register. This should fix IndexField
problems seen on some machines where the Data register is not
exactly one byte wide. The ACPI specification will be clarified
on this point.
Fixed a problem where several resource descriptor types could
overrun the internal descriptor buffer due to size
miscalculation: VendorShort, VendorLong, and Interrupt. This was
noticed on IA64 machines, but could affect all platforms.
Fixed a problem where individual resource descriptors were
misaligned within the internal buffer, causing alignment faults
on IA64 platforms.
Code and Data Size: These are the sizes for the acpica.lib
produced by the Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0 32-bit compiler. The
values do not include any ACPI driver or OSPM code. The debug
version of the code includes the debug output trace mechanism and
has a much larger code and data size. Note that these values will
vary depending on the efficiency of the compiler and the compiler
options used during generation.

Non-Debug Version: 81.0K Code, 17.8K Data, 98.8K Total
Debug Version: 161.4K Code, 65.7K Data, 227.1K Total
2) iASL Compiler/Disassembler:
Implemented support for new reserved names: _WDG and _WED are
Microsoft extensions for Windows Instrumentation Management, _TDL
is a new ACPI-defined method (Throttling Depth Limit.)
Fixed a problem where a zero-length VendorShort or VendorLong
resource descriptor was incorrectly emitted as a descriptor of
length one.
----------------------------------------
10 February 2006. Summary of changes for version 20060210:
1) ACPI CA Core Subsystem:
Removed a couple of extraneous ACPI_ERROR messages that appeared
during normal execution. These became apparent after the
conversion from ACPI_DEBUG_PRINT.
Fixed a problem where the CreateField operator could hang if the
BitIndex or NumBits parameter referred to a named object. (Valery
Podrezov, BZ 5359)
Fixed a problem where a DeRefOf operation on a buffer object
incorrectly failed with an exception. This also fixes a couple of
related RefOf and DeRefOf issues. (Valery Podrezov, BZ
5360/5392/5387)
Fixed a problem where the AE_BUFFER_LIMIT exception was returned
instead of AE_STRING_LIMIT on an out-of-bounds Index() operation.
(Valery Podrezov, BZ 5480)
Implemented a memory cleanup at the end of the execution of each
iteration of an AML While() loop, preventing the accumulation of
outstanding objects. (Valery Podrezov, BZ 5427)
Eliminated a chunk of duplicate code in the object resolution
code. (Valery Podrezov, BZ 5336)
Fixed several warnings during the 64-bit code generation.
The AcpiSrc source code conversion tool now inserts one line of
whitespace after an if() statement that is followed immediately
by a comment, improving readability of the Linux code.
Code and Data Size: The current and previous library sizes for
the core subsystem are shown below. These are the code and data
sizes for the acpica.lib produced by the Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0
32-bit compiler. These values do not include any ACPI driver or
OSPM code. The debug version of the code includes the debug
output trace mechanism and has a much larger code and data size.
Note that these values will vary depending on the efficiency of
the compiler and the compiler options used during generation.

2) iASL Compiler/Disassembler:
Fixed a problem with the disassembly of a BankField operator with
a complex expression for the BankValue parameter.
----------------------------------------
27 January 2006. Summary of changes for version 20060127:
1) ACPI CA Core Subsystem:
Implemented support in the Resource Manager to allow unresolved
namestring references within resource package objects for the
_PRT method. This support is in addition to the previously
implemented unresolved reference support within the AML parser.
If the interpreter slack mode is enabled, these unresolved
references will be passed through to the caller as a NULL package
entry.
Implemented and deployed new macros and functions for error and
warning messages across the subsystem. These macros are simpler
and generate less code than their predecessors. The new macros
ACPI_ERROR, ACPI_EXCEPTION, ACPI_WARNING, and ACPI_INFO replace
the ACPI_REPORT_* macros. The older macros remain defined to
allow ACPI drivers time to migrate to the new macros.
Implemented the ACPI_CPU_FLAGS type to simplify host OS
integration of the Acquire/Release Lock OSL interfaces.
Fixed a problem where Alias ASL operators are sometimes not
correctly resolved, in both the interpreter and the iASL
compiler.
Fixed several problems with the implementation of the
ConcatenateResTemplate ASL operator. As per the ACPI
specification, zero length buffers are now treated as a single
EndTag. One-length buffers always cause a fatal exception. Non-
zero length buffers that do not end with a full 2-byte EndTag
cause a fatal exception.
Fixed a possible structure overwrite in the AcpiGetObjectInfo
external interface. (With assistance from Thomas Renninger)
Code and Data Size: The current and previous library sizes for
the core subsystem are shown below. These are the code and data
sizes for the acpica.lib produced by the Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0
32-bit compiler. These values do not include any ACPI driver or

output trace mechanism and has a much larger code and data size.

the compiler and the compiler options used during generation.

2) iASL Compiler/Disassembler:
Fixed an internal error that was generated for any forward
references to ASL Alias objects.
----------------------------------------
13 January 2006. Summary of changes for version 20060113:
1) ACPI CA Core Subsystem:
Added 2006 copyright to all module headers and signons. This
affects virtually every file in the ACPICA core subsystem, iASL
compiler, and the utilities.
Enhanced the ACPICA error reporting in order to simplify user
migration to the non-debug version of ACPICA. Replaced all
instances of the ACPI_DEBUG_PRINT macro invoked at the
ACPI_DB_ERROR and ACPI_DB_WARN debug levels with the
ACPI_REPORT_ERROR and ACPI_REPORT_WARNING macros, respectively.
This preserves all error and warning messages in the non-debug
version of the ACPICA code (this has been referred to as the
"debug lite" option.) Over 200 cases were converted to create a
total of over 380 error/warning messages across the ACPICA code.
This increases the code and data size of the default non-debug
version of the code somewhat (about 13K), but all error/warning
reporting may be disabled if desired (and code eliminated) by
specifying the ACPI_NO_ERROR_MESSAGES compile-time configuration
option. The size of the debug version of ACPICA remains about the
same.
Fixed a memory leak within the AML Debugger "Set" command. One
object was not properly deleted for every successful invocation
of the command.
Code and Data Size: The current and previous library sizes for
the core subsystem are shown below. These are the code and data
sizes for the acpica.lib produced by the Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0
32-bit compiler. These values do not include any ACPI driver or
OSPM code. The debug version of the code includes the debug
output trace mechanism and has a much larger code and data size.
Note that these values will vary depending on the efficiency of
the compiler and the compiler options used during generation.

2) iASL Compiler/Disassembler:
The compiler now officially supports the ACPI 3.0a specification
that was released on December 30, 2005. (Specification is
available at www.acpi.info)
----------------------------------------
16 December 2005. Summary of changes for version 20051216:
1) ACPI CA Core Subsystem:
Implemented optional support to allow unresolved names within ASL
Package objects. A null object is inserted in the package when a
named reference cannot be located in the current namespace.
Enabled via the interpreter slack flag, this should eliminate
AE_NOT_FOUND exceptions seen on machines that contain such code.
Implemented an optimization to the initialization sequence that
can improve boot time. During ACPI device initialization, the
_STA method is now run if and only if the _INI method exists. The
_STA method is used to determine if the device is present; An
_INI can only be run if _STA returns present, but it is a waste
of time to run the _STA method if the _INI does not exist.
(Prototype and assistance from Dong Wei)
Implemented use of the C99 uintptr_t for the pointer casting
macros if it is available in the current compiler. Otherwise, the
default (void *) cast is used as before.
Fixed some possible memory leaks found within the execution path
of the Break, Continue, If, and CreateField operators. (Valery
Podrezov)
Fixed a problem introduced in the 20051202 release where an
exception is generated during method execution if a control
method attempts to declare another method.
Moved resource descriptor string constants that are used by both
the AML disassembler and AML debugger to the common utilities
directory so that these components are independent.
Implemented support in the AcpiExec utility (-e switch) to
globally ignore exceptions during control method execution
(method is not aborted.)
Added the rsinfo.c source file to the AcpiExec makefile for
Linux/Unix generation.
Code and Data Size: The current and previous library sizes for
the core subsystem are shown below. These are the code and data
sizes for the acpica.lib produced by the Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0
32-bit compiler. These values do not include any ACPI driver or

Note that these values will vary depending on the efficiency of
the compiler and the compiler options used during generation.

2) iASL Compiler/Disassembler:
Fixed a problem where a CPU stack overflow fault could occur if a
recursive method call was made from within a Return statement.
----------------------------------------
02 December 2005. Summary of changes for version 20051202:
1) ACPI CA Core Subsystem:
Modified the parsing of control methods to no longer create
namespace objects during the first pass of the parse. Objects are
now created only during the execute phase, at the moment the
namespace creation operator is encountered in the AML (Name,
OperationRegion, CreateByteField, etc.) This should eliminate
ALREADY_EXISTS exceptions seen on some machines where reentrant
control methods are protected by an AML mutex. The mutex will now
correctly block multiple threads from attempting to create the
same object more than once.
Increased the number of available Owner Ids for namespace object
tracking from 32 to 255. This should eliminate the OWNER_ID_LIMIT
exceptions seen on some machines with a large number of ACPI
tables (either static or dynamic).
Fixed a problem with the AcpiExec utility where a fault could
occur when the -b switch (batch mode) is used.
Enhanced the namespace dump routine to output the owner ID for
each namespace object.
Code and Data Size: The current and previous library sizes for
the core subsystem are shown below. These are the code and data
sizes for the acpica.lib produced by the Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0
32-bit compiler. These values do not include any ACPI driver or
OSPM code. The debug version of the code includes the debug
output trace mechanism and has a much larger code and data size.
Note that these values will vary depending on the efficiency of
the compiler and the compiler options used during generation.

Non-Debug Version: 76.3K Code, 12.3K Data, 88.6K Total
Debug Version: 163.2K Code, 67.4K Data, 230.6K Total
2) iASL Compiler/Disassembler:
Fixed a parse error during compilation of certain Switch/Case
constructs. To simplify the parse, the grammar now allows for
multiple Default statements and this error is now detected and
flagged during the analysis phase.
Disassembler: The disassembly now includes the contents of the
original table header within a comment at the start of the file.
This includes the name and version of the original ASL compiler.
----------------------------------------
17 November 2005. Summary of changes for version 20051117:
1) ACPI CA Core Subsystem:
Fixed a problem in the AML parser where the method thread count
could be decremented below zero if any errors occurred during the
method parse phase. This should eliminate AE_AML_METHOD_LIMIT
exceptions seen on some machines. This also fixed a related
regression with the mechanism that detects and corrects methods
that cannot properly handle reentrancy (related to the deployment
of the new OwnerId mechanism.)
Eliminated the pre-parsing of control methods (to detect errors)
during table load. Related to the problem above, this was causing
unwind issues if any errors occurred during the parse, and it
seemed to be overkill. A table load should not be aborted if
there are problems with any single control method, thus rendering
this feature rather pointless.
Fixed a problem with the new table-driven resource manager where
an internal buffer overflow could occur for small resource
templates.
Implemented a new external interface, AcpiGetVendorResource. This
interface will find and return a vendor-defined resource
descriptor within a _CRS or _PRS method via an ACPI 3.0 UUID
match. With assistance from Bjorn Helgaas.
Removed the length limit (200) on string objects as per the
upcoming ACPI 3.0A specification. This affects the following
areas of the interpreter: 1) any implicit conversion of a Buffer
to a String, 2) a String object result of the ASL Concatentate
operator, 3) the String object result of the ASL ToString
operator.
Fixed a problem in the Windows OS interface layer (OSL) where a
WAIT_FOREVER on a semaphore object would incorrectly timeout.
This allows the multithreading features of the AcpiExec utility
to work properly under Windows.
Updated the Linux makefiles for the iASL compiler and AcpiExec to
include the recently added file named "utresrc.c".
Code and Data Size: The current and previous library sizes for
the core subsystem are shown below. These are the code and data
sizes for the acpica.lib produced by the Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0
32-bit compiler. These values do not include any ACPI driver or
OSPM code. The debug version of the code includes the debug
output trace mechanism and has a much larger code and data size.
Note that these values will vary depending on the efficiency of
the compiler and the compiler options used during generation.

Non-Debug Version: 76.3K Code, 12.3K Data, 88.6K Total
Debug Version: 163.0K Code, 67.4K Data, 230.4K Total
2) iASL Compiler/Disassembler:
Removed the limit (200) on string objects as per the upcoming
ACPI 3.0A specification. For the iASL compiler, this means that
string literals within the source ASL can be of any length.
Enhanced the listing output to dump the AML code for resource
descriptors immediately after the ASL code for each descriptor,
instead of in a block at the end of the entire resource template.
Enhanced the compiler debug output to dump the entire original
parse tree constructed during the parse phase, before any
transforms are applied to the tree. The transformed tree is
dumped also.
----------------------------------------
02 November 2005. Summary of changes for version 20051102:
1) ACPI CA Core Subsystem:
Modified the subsystem initialization sequence to improve GPE
support. The GPE initialization has been split into two parts in
order to defer execution of the _PRW methods (Power Resources for
Wake) until after the hardware is fully initialized and the SCI
handler is installed. This allows the _PRW methods to access
fields protected by the Global Lock. This will fix systems where
a NO_GLOBAL_LOCK exception has been seen during initialization.
Converted the ACPI internal object disassemble and display code
within the AML debugger to fully table-driven operation, reducing
code size and increasing maintainability.
Fixed a regression with the ConcatenateResTemplate() ASL operator
introduced in the 20051021 release.
Implemented support for "local" internal ACPI object types within
the debugger "Object" command and the AcpiWalkNamespace external
interfaces. These local types include RegionFields, BankFields,
IndexFields, Alias, and reference objects.
Moved common AML resource handling code into a new file,
"utresrc.c". This code is shared by both the Resource Manager and
the AML Debugger.
Code and Data Size: The current and previous library sizes for
the core subsystem are shown below. These are the code and data
sizes for the acpica.lib produced by the Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0
32-bit compiler. These values do not include any ACPI driver or
OSPM code. The debug version of the code includes the debug
output trace mechanism and has a much larger code and data size.
Note that these values will vary depending on the efficiency of
the compiler and the compiler options used during generation.

Non-Debug Version: 76.2K Code, 12.3K Data, 88.5K Total
Debug Version: 163.0K Code, 67.4K Data, 230.4K Total
2) iASL Compiler/Disassembler:
Fixed a problem with very large initializer lists (more than 4000
elements) for both Buffer and Package objects where the parse
stack could overflow.
Enhanced the pre-compile source code scan for non-ASCII
characters to ignore characters within comment fields. The scan
is now always performed and is no longer optional, detecting
invalid characters within a source file immediately rather than
during the parse phase or later.
Enhanced the ASL grammar definition to force early reductions on
all list-style grammar elements so that the overall parse stack
usage is greatly reduced. This should improve performance and
reduce the possibility of parse stack overflow.
Eliminated all reduce/reduce conflicts in the iASL parser
generation. Also, with the addition of a %expected statement, the
compiler generates from source with no warnings.
Fixed a possible segment fault in the disassembler if the input
filename does not contain a "dot" extension (Thomas Renninger).

----------------------------------------
21 October 2005. Summary of changes for version 20051021:
1) ACPI CA Core Subsystem:
Implemented support for the EM64T and other x86-64 processors.
This essentially entails recognizing that these processors
support non-aligned memory transfers. Previously, all 64-bit
processors were assumed to lack hardware support for non-aligned
transfers.
Completed conversion of the Resource Manager to nearly full table-
driven operation. Specifically, the resource conversion code
(convert AML to internal format and the reverse) and the debug
code to dump internal resource descriptors are fully table-
driven, reducing code and data size and improving
maintainability.
The OSL interfaces for Acquire and Release Lock now use a 64-bit
flag word on 64-bit processors instead of a fixed 32-bit word.
(With assistance from Alexey Starikovskiy)
Implemented support within the resource conversion code for the
Type-Specific byte within the various ACPI 3.0 *WordSpace macros.
Fixed some issues within the resource conversion code for the
type-specific flags for both Memory and I/O address resource
descriptors. For Memory, implemented support for the MTP and TTP
flags. For I/O, split the TRS and TTP flags into two separate
fields.
Code and Data Size: The current and previous library sizes for
the core subsystem are shown below. These are the code and data
sizes for the acpica.lib produced by the Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0
32-bit compiler. These values do not include any ACPI driver or
OSPM code. The debug version of the code includes the debug
output trace mechanism and has a much larger code and data size.
Note that these values will vary depending on the efficiency of
the compiler and the compiler options used during generation.

2) iASL Compiler/Disassembler:
Relaxed a compiler restriction that disallowed a ResourceIndex
byte if the corresponding ResourceSource string was not also
present in a resource descriptor declaration. This restriction
caused problems with existing AML/ASL code that includes the
Index byte without the string. When such AML was disassembled, it
could not be compiled without modification. Further, the modified
code created a resource template with a different size than the
original, breaking code that used fixed offsets into the resource
template buffer.
Removed a recent feature of the disassembler to ignore a lone
ResourceIndex byte. This byte is now emitted if present so that
the exact AML can be reproduced when the disassembled code is
recompiled.
Improved comments and text alignment for the resource descriptor
code emitted by the disassembler.
Implemented disassembler support for the ACPI 3.0 AccessSize
field within a Register() resource descriptor.
----------------------------------------
30 September 2005. Summary of changes for version 20050930:
1) ACPI CA Core Subsystem:
Completed a major overhaul of the Resource Manager code -
specifically, optimizations in the area of the AML/internal
resource conversion code. The code has been optimized to simplify
and eliminate duplicated code, CPU stack use has been decreased
by optimizing function parameters and local variables, and naming
conventions across the manager have been standardized for clarity
and ease of maintenance (this includes function, parameter,
variable, and struct/typedef names.) The update may force changes
in some driver code, depending on how resources are handled by
the host OS.
All Resource Manager dispatch and information tables have been
moved to a single location for clarity and ease of maintenance.
One new file was created, named "rsinfo.c".
The ACPI return macros (return_ACPI_STATUS, etc.) have been
modified to guarantee that the argument is not evaluated twice,
making them less prone to macro side-effects. However, since
there exists the possibility of additional stack use if a
particular compiler cannot optimize them (such as in the debug
generation case), the original macros are optionally available.
Note that some invocations of the return_VALUE macro may now
cause size mismatch warnings; the return_UINT8 and return_UINT32
macros are provided to eliminate these. (From Randy Dunlap)
Implemented a new mechanism to enable debug tracing for
individual control methods. A new external interface,
AcpiDebugTrace, is provided to enable this mechanism. The intent
is to allow the host OS to easily enable and disable tracing for
problematic control methods. This interface can be easily exposed
to a user or debugger interface if desired. See the file
psxface.c for details.
AcpiUtCallocate will now return a valid pointer if a length of
zero is specified - a length of one is used and a warning is
issued. This matches the behavior of AcpiUtAllocate.
Code and Data Size: The current and previous library sizes for
the core subsystem are shown below. These are the code and data
sizes for the acpica.lib produced by the Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0
32-bit compiler. These values do not include any ACPI driver or
OSPM code. The debug version of the code includes the debug
output trace mechanism and has a much larger code and data size.
Note that these values will vary depending on the efficiency of
the compiler and the compiler options used during generation.

2) iASL Compiler/Disassembler:
A remark is issued if the effective compile-time length of a
package or buffer is zero. Previously, this was a warning.
----------------------------------------
16 September 2005. Summary of changes for version 20050916:
1) ACPI CA Core Subsystem:
Fixed a problem within the Resource Manager where support for the
Generic Register descriptor was not fully implemented. This
descriptor is now fully recognized, parsed, disassembled, and
displayed.
Completely restructured the Resource Manager code to utilize
table-driven dispatch and lookup, eliminating many of the large
switch() statements. This reduces overall subsystem code size and
code complexity. Affects the resource parsing and construction,
disassembly, and debug dump output.
Cleaned up and restructured the debug dump output for all
resource descriptors. Improved readability of the output and
reduced code size.
Fixed a problem where changes to internal data structures caused
the optional ACPI_MUTEX_DEBUG code to fail compilation if
specified.
Code and Data Size: The current and previous library sizes for
the core subsystem are shown below. These are the code and data
sizes for the acpica.lib produced by the Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0
32-bit compiler. These values do not include any ACPI driver or
OSPM code. The debug version of the code includes the debug
output trace mechanism and has a much larger code and data size.
Note that these values will vary depending on the efficiency of
the compiler and the compiler options used during generation.

Debug Version: 168.1K Code, 68.4K Data, 236.5K Total
2) iASL Compiler/Disassembler:
Updated the disassembler to automatically insert an
EndDependentFn() macro into the ASL stream if this macro is
missing in the original AML code, simplifying compilation of the
resulting ASL module.
Fixed a problem in the disassembler where a disassembled
ResourceSource string (within a large resource descriptor) was
not surrounded by quotes and not followed by a comma, causing
errors when the resulting ASL module was compiled. Also, escape
sequences within a ResourceSource string are now handled
correctly (especially "\\")
----------------------------------------
02 September 2005. Summary of changes for version 20050902:
1) ACPI CA Core Subsystem:
Fixed a problem with the internal Owner ID allocation and
deallocation mechanisms for control method execution and
recursive method invocation. This should eliminate the
OWNER_ID_LIMIT exceptions and "Invalid OwnerId" messages seen on
some systems. Recursive method invocation depth is currently
limited to 255. (Alexey Starikovskiy)
Completely eliminated all vestiges of support for the "module-
level executable code" until this support is fully implemented
and debugged. This should eliminate the NO_RETURN_VALUE
exceptions seen during table load on some systems that invoke
this support.
Fixed a problem within the resource manager code where the
transaction flags for a 64-bit address descriptor were handled
incorrectly in the type-specific flag byte.
Consolidated duplicate code within the address descriptor
resource manager code, reducing overall subsystem code size.
Fixed a fault when using the AML debugger "disassemble" command
to disassemble individual control methods.
Removed references to the "release_current" directory within the
Unix release package.
Code and Data Size: The current and previous core subsystem
library sizes are shown below. These are the code and data sizes
for the acpica.lib produced by the Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0
compiler. These values do not include any ACPI driver or OSPM
code. The debug version of the code includes the debug output
trace mechanism and has a much larger code and data size. Note
that these values will vary depending on the efficiency of the
compiler and the compiler options used during generation.

Debug Version: 169.6K Code, 69.9K Data, 239.5K Total
2) iASL Compiler/Disassembler:
Implemented an error check for illegal duplicate values in the
interrupt and dma lists for the following ASL macros: Dma(),
Irq(), IrqNoFlags(), and Interrupt().
Implemented error checking for the Irq() and IrqNoFlags() macros
to detect too many values in the interrupt list (16 max) and
invalid values in the list (range 0 - 15)
The maximum length string literal within an ASL file is now
restricted to 200 characters as per the ACPI specification.
Fixed a fault when using the -ln option (generate namespace
listing).
Implemented an error check to determine if a DescriptorName
within a resource descriptor has already been used within the
current scope.
----------------------------------------
15 August 2005. Summary of changes for version 20050815:
1) ACPI CA Core Subsystem:
Implemented a full bytewise compare to determine if a table load
request is attempting to load a duplicate table. The compare is
performed if the table signatures and table lengths match. This
will allow different tables with the same OEM Table ID and
revision to be loaded - probably against the ACPI specification,
but discovered in the field nonetheless.
Added the changes.txt logfile to each of the zipped release
packages.
Code and Data Size: Current and previous core subsystem library
sizes are shown below. These are the code and data sizes for the
acpica.lib produced by the Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0 compiler, and
these values do not include any ACPI driver or OSPM code. The
debug version of the code includes the debug output trace
mechanism and has a much larger code and data size. Note that
these values will vary depending on the efficiency of the
compiler and the compiler options used during generation.

2) iASL Compiler/Disassembler:
Fixed a problem where incorrect AML code could be generated for
Package objects if optimization is disabled (via the -oa switch).
Fixed a problem with where incorrect AML code is generated for
variable-length packages when the package length is not specified
and the number of initializer values is greater than 255.

----------------------------------------
29 July 2005. Summary of changes for version 20050729:
1) ACPI CA Core Subsystem:
Implemented support to ignore an attempt to install/load a
particular ACPI table more than once. Apparently there exists
BIOS code that repeatedly attempts to load the same SSDT upon
certain events. With assistance from Venkatesh Pallipadi.
Restructured the main interface to the AML parser in order to
correctly handle all exceptional conditions. This will prevent
leakage of the OwnerId resource and should eliminate the
AE_OWNER_ID_LIMIT exceptions seen on some machines. With
assistance from Alexey Starikovskiy.
Support for "module level code" has been disabled in this version
due to a number of issues that have appeared on various machines.
The support can be enabled by defining
ACPI_ENABLE_MODULE_LEVEL_CODE during subsystem compilation. When
the issues are fully resolved, the code will be enabled by
default again.
Modified the internal functions for debug print support to define
the FunctionName parameter as a (const char *) for compatibility
with compiler built-in macros such as __FUNCTION__, etc.
Linted the entire ACPICA source tree for both 32-bit and 64-bit.
Implemented support to display an object count summary for the
AML Debugger commands Object and Methods.
Code and Data Size: Current and previous core subsystem library
sizes are shown below. These are the code and data sizes for the
acpica.lib produced by the Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0 compiler, and
these values do not include any ACPI driver or OSPM code. The
debug version of the code includes the debug output trace
mechanism and has a much larger code and data size. Note that
these values will vary depending on the efficiency of the
compiler and the compiler options used during generation.

2) iASL Compiler/Disassembler:
Fixed a regression that appeared in the 20050708 version of the
compiler where an error message was inadvertently emitted for
invocations of the _OSI reserved control method.
----------------------------------------
08 July 2005. Summary of changes for version 20050708:
1) ACPI CA Core Subsystem:
The use of the CPU stack in the debug version of the subsystem
has been considerably reduced. Previously, a debug structure was
declared in every function that used the debug macros. This
structure has been removed in favor of declaring the individual
elements as parameters to the debug functions. This reduces the
cumulative stack use during nested execution of ACPI function
calls at the cost of a small increase in the code size of the
debug version of the subsystem. With assistance from Alexey
Starikovskiy and Len Brown.
Added the ACPI_GET_FUNCTION_NAME macro to enable the compiler-
dependent headers to define a macro that will return the current
function name at runtime (such as __FUNCTION__ or _func_, etc.)
The function name is used by the debug trace output. If
ACPI_GET_FUNCTION_NAME is not defined in the compiler-dependent
header, the function name is saved on the CPU stack (one pointer
per function.) This mechanism is used because apparently there
exists no standard ANSI-C defined macro that that returns the
function name.
Redesigned and reimplemented the "Owner ID" mechanism used to
track namespace objects created/deleted by ACPI tables and
control method execution. A bitmap is now used to allocate and
free the IDs, thus solving the wraparound problem present in the
previous implementation. The size of the namespace node
descriptor was reduced by 2 bytes as a result (Alexey
Starikovskiy).
Removed the UINT32_BIT and UINT16_BIT types that were used for
the bitfield flag definitions within the headers for the
predefined ACPI tables. These have been replaced by UINT8_BIT in
order to increase the code portability of the subsystem. If the
use of UINT8 remains a problem, we may be forced to eliminate
bitfields entirely because of a lack of portability.
Enhanced the performance of the AcpiUtUpdateObjectReference
procedure. This is a frequently used function and this
improvement increases the performance of the entire subsystem
(Alexey Starikovskiy).
Fixed several possible memory leaks and the inverse - premature
object deletion (Alexey Starikovskiy).
Code and Data Size: Current and previous core subsystem library
sizes are shown below. These are the code and data sizes for the
acpica.lib produced by the Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0 compiler, and
these values do not include any ACPI driver or OSPM code. The
debug version of the code includes the debug output trace
mechanism and has a much larger code and data size. Note that
these values will vary depending on the efficiency of the
compiler and the compiler options used during generation.

----------------------------------------
24 June 2005. Summary of changes for version 20050624:
1) ACPI CA Core Subsystem:
Modified the new OSL cache interfaces to use ACPI_CACHE_T as the
type for the host-defined cache object. This allows the OSL
implementation to define and type this object in any manner
desired, simplifying the OSL implementation. For example,
ACPI_CACHE_T is defined as kmem_cache_t for Linux, and should be
defined in the OS-specific header file for other operating
systems as required.
Changed the interface to AcpiOsAcquireObject to directly return
the requested object as the function return (instead of
ACPI_STATUS.) This change was made for performance reasons, since
this is the purpose of the interface in the first place.
AcpiOsAcquireObject is now similar to the AcpiOsAllocate
interface.
Implemented a new AML debugger command named Businfo. This
command displays information about all devices that have an
associate _PRT object. The _ADR, _HID, _UID, and _CID are
displayed for these devices.
Modified the initialization sequence in AcpiInitializeSubsystem
to call the OSL interface AcpiOslInitialize first, before any
local initialization. This change was required because the global
initialization now calls OSL interfaces.
Enhanced the Dump command to display the entire contents of
Package objects (including all sub-objects and their values.)
Restructured the code base to split some files because of size
and/or because the code logically belonged in a separate file.
New files are listed below. All makefiles and project files
included in the ACPI CA release have been updated.
utilities/utcache.c /* Local cache interfaces */
utilities/utmutex.c /* Local mutex support */
utilities/utstate.c /* State object support */
interpreter/parser/psloop.c /* Main AML parse loop */
Code and Data Size: Current and previous core subsystem library
sizes are shown below. These are the code and data sizes for the
acpica.lib produced by the Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0 compiler, and
these values do not include any ACPI driver or OSPM code. The
debug version of the code includes the debug output trace
mechanism and has a much larger code and data size. Note that
these values will vary depending on the efficiency of the
compiler and the compiler options used during generation.

Non-Debug Version: 78.6K Code, 11.5K Data, 90.1K Total
Debug Version: 165.2K Code, 69.6K Data, 234.8K Total
2) iASL Compiler/Disassembler:
Fixed a regression introduced in version 20050513 where the use
of a Package object within a Case() statement caused a compile
time exception. The original behavior has been restored (a
Match() operator is emitted.)
----------------------------------------
17 June 2005. Summary of changes for version 20050617:
1) ACPI CA Core Subsystem:
Moved the object cache operations into the OS interface layer
(OSL) to allow the host OS to handle these operations if desired
(for example, the Linux OSL will invoke the slab allocator). This
support is optional; the compile time define ACPI_USE_LOCAL_CACHE
may be used to utilize the original cache code in the ACPI CA
core. The new OSL interfaces are shown below. See utalloc.c for
an example implementation, and acpiosxf.h for the exact interface
definitions. With assistance from Alexey Starikovskiy.
AcpiOsCreateCache
AcpiOsDeleteCache
AcpiOsPurgeCache
AcpiOsAcquireObject
AcpiOsReleaseObject
Modified the interfaces to AcpiOsAcquireLock and
AcpiOsReleaseLock to return and restore a flags parameter. This
fits better with many OS lock models. Note: the current execution
state (interrupt handler or not) is no longer passed to these
interfaces. If necessary, the OSL must determine this state by
itself, a simple and fast operation. With assistance from Alexey
Starikovskiy.
Fixed a problem in the ACPI table handling where a valid XSDT was
assumed present if the revision of the RSDP was 2 or greater.
According to the ACPI specification, the XSDT is optional in all
cases, and the table manager therefore now checks for both an
RSDP >=2 and a valid XSDT pointer. Otherwise, the RSDT pointer is
used. Some ACPI 2.0 compliant BIOSs contain only the RSDT.
Fixed an interpreter problem with the Mid() operator in the case
of an input string where the resulting output string is of zero
length. It now correctly returns a valid, null terminated string
object instead of a string object with a null pointer.
Fixed a problem with the control method argument handling to
allow a store to an Arg object that already contains an object of
type Device. The Device object is now correctly overwritten.
Previously, an error was returned.

Enhanced the debugger Find command to emit object values in
addition to the found object pathnames. The output format is the
same as the dump namespace command.
Enhanced the debugger Set command. It now has the ability to set
the value of any Named integer object in the namespace
(Previously, only method locals and args could be set.)
Code and Data Size: Current and previous core subsystem library
sizes are shown below. These are the code and data sizes for the
acpica.lib produced by the Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0 compiler, and
these values do not include any ACPI driver or OSPM code. The

mechanism and has a much larger code and data size. Note that
these values will vary depending on the efficiency of the
compiler and the compiler options used during generation.

2) iASL Compiler/Disassembler:
Fixed a regression in the disassembler where if/else/while
constructs were output incorrectly. This problem was introduced
in the previous release (20050526). This problem also affected
the single-step disassembly in the debugger.
Fixed a problem where compiling the reserved _OSI method would
randomly (but rarely) produce compile errors.
Enhanced the disassembler to emit compilable code in the face of
incorrect AML resource descriptors. If the optional
ResourceSourceIndex is present, but the ResourceSource is not, do
not emit the ResourceSourceIndex in the disassembly. Otherwise,
the resulting code cannot be compiled without errors.
----------------------------------------
26 May 2005. Summary of changes for version 20050526:
1) ACPI CA Core Subsystem:
Implemented support to execute Type 1 and Type 2 AML opcodes
appearing at the module level (not within a control method.)
These opcodes are executed exactly once at the time the table is
loaded. This type of code was legal up until the release of ACPI
2.0B (2002) and is now supported within ACPI CA in order to
provide backwards compatibility with earlier BIOS
implementations. This eliminates the "Encountered executable code
at module level" warning that was previously generated upon
detection of such code.
Fixed a problem in the interpreter where an AE_NOT_FOUND
exception could inadvertently be generated during the lookup of
namespace objects in the second pass parse of ACPI tables and
control methods. It appears that this problem could occur during
the resolution of forward references to namespace objects.
Added the ACPI_MUTEX_DEBUG #ifdef to the AcpiUtReleaseMutex
function, corresponding to the same #ifdef in the
AcpiUtAcquireMutex function. This allows the deadlock detection
debug code to be compiled out in the normal case, improving mutex
performance (and overall subsystem performance) considerably.
Implemented a handful of miscellaneous fixes for possible memory
leaks on error conditions and error handling control paths. These
fixes were suggested by FreeBSD and the Coverity Prevent source
code analysis tool.
Added a check for a null RSDT pointer in AcpiGetFirmwareTable
(tbxfroot.c) to prevent a fault in this error case.
Code and Data Size: Current and previous core subsystem library
sizes are shown below. These are the code and data sizes for the
acpica.lib produced by the Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0 compiler, and
these values do not include any ACPI driver or OSPM code. The
debug version of the code includes the debug output trace
mechanism and has a much larger code and data size. Note that
these values will vary depending on the efficiency of the
compiler and the compiler options used during generation.

Current Release:
Non-Debug Version: 78.1K Code, 11.6K Data, 89.7K Total
Debug Version: 164.0K Code, 69.3K Data, 233.3K Total
2) iASL Compiler/Disassembler:
Implemented support to allow Type 1 and Type 2 ASL operators to
appear at the module level (not within a control method.) These
operators will be executed once at the time the table is loaded.
This type of code was legal up until the release of ACPI 2.0B
(2002) and is now supported by the iASL compiler in order to
provide backwards compatibility with earlier BIOS ASL code.
The ACPI integer width (specified via the table revision ID or
the -r override, 32 or 64 bits) is now used internally during
compile-time constant folding to ensure that constants are
truncated to 32 bits if necessary. Previously, the revision ID
value was only emitted in the AML table header.
An error message is now generated for the Mutex and Method
operators if the SyncLevel parameter is outside the legal range
of 0 through 15.
Fixed a problem with the Method operator ParameterTypes list
handling (ACPI 3.0). Previously, more than 2 types or 2 arguments
generated a syntax error. The actual underlying implementation
of method argument typechecking is still under development,
however.
----------------------------------------
13 May 2005. Summary of changes for version 20050513:
1) ACPI CA Core Subsystem:
Implemented support for PCI Express root bridges -- added support
for device PNP0A08 in the root bridge search within
AcpiEvPciConfigRegionSetup.
The interpreter now automatically truncates incoming 64-bit
constants to 32 bits if currently executing out of a 32-bit ACPI
table (Revision < 2). This also affects the iASL compiler
constant folding. (Note: as per below, the iASL compiler no
longer allows 64-bit constants within 32-bit tables.)
Fixed a problem where string and buffer objects with "static"
pointers (pointers to initialization data within an ACPI table)
were not handled consistently. The internal object copy operation
now always copies the data to a newly allocated buffer,
regardless of whether the source object is static or not.
Fixed a problem with the FromBCD operator where an implicit
result conversion was improperly performed while storing the
result to the target operand. Since this is an "explicit
conversion" operator, the implicit conversion should never be
performed on the output.
Fixed a problem with the CopyObject operator where a copy to an
existing named object did not always completely overwrite the
existing object stored at name. Specifically, a buffer-to-buffer
copy did not delete the existing buffer.
Replaced "InterruptLevel" with "InterruptNumber" in all GPE
interfaces and structs for consistency.
Code and Data Size: Current and previous core subsystem library
sizes are shown below. These are the code and data sizes for the
acpica.lib produced by the Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0 compiler, and
these values do not include any ACPI driver or OSPM code. The
debug version of the code includes the debug output trace
mechanism and has a much larger code and data size. Note that
these values will vary depending on the efficiency of the
compiler and the compiler options used during generation.

Non-Debug Version: 78.2K Code, 11.6K Data, 89.8K Total
Debug Version: 163.7K Code, 69.3K Data, 233.0K Total
2) iASL Compiler/Disassembler:
The compiler now emits a warning if an attempt is made to
generate a 64-bit integer constant from within a 32-bit ACPI
table (Revision < 2). The integer is truncated to 32 bits.
Fixed a problem with large package objects: if the static length
of the package is greater than 255, the "variable length package"
opcode is emitted. Previously, this caused an error. This
requires an update to the ACPI spec, since it currently
(incorrectly) states that packages larger than 255 elements are
not allowed.
The disassembler now correctly handles variable length packages
and packages larger than 255 elements.
----------------------------------------
08 April 2005. Summary of changes for version 20050408:
1) ACPI CA Core Subsystem:
Fixed three cases in the interpreter where an "index" argument to
an ASL function was still (internally) 32 bits instead of the
required 64 bits. This was the Index argument to the Index, Mid,
and Match operators.
The "strupr" function is now permanently local (AcpiUtStrupr),
since this is not a POSIX-defined function and not present in
most kernel-level C libraries. All references to the C library
strupr function have been removed from the headers.
Completed the deployment of static functions/prototypes. All
prototypes with the static attribute have been moved from the
headers to the owning C file.
Implemented an extract option (-e) for the AcpiBin utility (AML
binary utility). This option allows the utility to extract
individual ACPI tables from the output of AcpiDmp. It provides
the same functionality of the acpixtract.pl perl script without
the worry of setting the correct perl options. AcpiBin runs on
Windows and has not yet been generated/validated in the
Linux/Unix environment (but should be soon).
Updated and fixed the table dump option for AcpiBin (-d). This
option converts a single ACPI table to a hex/ascii file, similar
to the output of AcpiDmp.
Code and Data Size: Current and previous core subsystem library
sizes are shown below. These are the code and data sizes for the
acpica.lib produced by the Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0 compiler, and
these values do not include any ACPI driver or OSPM code. The
debug version of the code includes the debug output trace
mechanism and has a much larger code and data size. Note that
these values will vary depending on the efficiency of the
compiler and the compiler options used during generation.

2) iASL Compiler/Disassembler:
Disassembler fix: Added a check to ensure that the table length
found in the ACPI table header within the input file is not
longer than the actual input file size. This indicates some kind
of file or table corruption.
----------------------------------------
29 March 2005. Summary of changes for version 20050329:
1) ACPI CA Core Subsystem:
An error is now generated if an attempt is made to create a
Buffer Field of length zero (A CreateField with a length operand
of zero.)
The interpreter now issues a warning whenever executable code at
the module level is detected during ACPI table load. This will
give some idea of the prevalence of this type of code.
Implemented support for references to named objects (other than
control methods) within package objects.
Enhanced package object output for the debug object. Package
objects are now completely dumped, showing all elements.
Enhanced miscellaneous object output for the debug object. Any
object can now be written to the debug object (for example, a
device object can be written, and the type of the object will be
displayed.)
The "static" qualifier has been added to all local functions
across both the core subsystem and the iASL compiler.
The number of "long" lines (> 80 chars) within the source has
been significantly reduced, by about 1/3.
Cleaned up all header files to ensure that all CA/iASL functions
are prototyped (even static functions) and the formatting is
consistent.
Two new header files have been added, acopcode.h and acnames.h.
Removed several obsolete functions that were no longer used.
Code and Data Size: Current and previous core subsystem library
sizes are shown below. These are the code and data sizes for the
acpica.lib produced by the Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0 compiler, and
these values do not include any ACPI driver or OSPM code. The

mechanism and has a much larger code and data size. Note that
these values will vary depending on the efficiency of the
compiler and the compiler options used during generation.

2) iASL Compiler/Disassembler:
Fixed a problem with the resource descriptor generation/support.
For the ResourceSourceIndex and the ResourceSource fields, both
must be present, or both must be not present - can't have one
without the other.
The compiler now returns non-zero from the main procedure if any
errors have occurred during the compilation.
----------------------------------------
09 March 2005. Summary of changes for version 20050309:
1) ACPI CA Core Subsystem:
The string-to-buffer implicit conversion code has been modified
again after a change to the ACPI specification. In order to
match the behavior of the other major ACPI implementation, the
target buffer is no longer truncated if the source string is
smaller than an existing target buffer. This change requires an
update to the ACPI spec, and should eliminate the recent
AE_AML_BUFFER_LIMIT issues.
The "implicit return" support was rewritten to a new algorithm
that solves the general case. Rather than attempt to determine
when a method is about to exit, the result of every ASL operator
is saved momentarily until the very next ASL operator is
executed. Therefore, no matter how the method exits, there will
always be a saved implicit return value. This feature is only
enabled with the AcpiGbl_EnableInterpreterSlack flag, and should
eliminate AE_AML_NO_RETURN_VALUE errors when enabled.
Implemented implicit conversion support for the predicate
(operand) of the If, Else, and While operators. String and Buffer
arguments are automatically converted to Integers.
Changed the string-to-integer conversion behavior to match the
new ACPI errata: "If no integer object exists, a new integer is
created. The ASCII string is interpreted as a hexadecimal
constant. Each string character is interpreted as a hexadecimal
value (`0'-`9', `A'-`F', `a', `f'), starting with the first
character as the most significant digit, and ending with the
first non-hexadecimal character or end-of-string." This means
that the first non-hex character terminates the conversion and
this is the code that was changed.
Fixed a problem where the ObjectType operator would fail (fault)
when used on an Index of a Package which pointed to a null
package element. The operator now properly returns zero
(Uninitialized) in this case.
Fixed a problem where the While operator used excessive memory by
not properly popping the result stack during execution. There was
no memory leak after execution, however. (Code provided by Valery
Podrezov.)
Fixed a problem where references to control methods within
Package objects caused the method to be invoked, instead of
producing a reference object pointing to the method.
Restructured and simplified the pswalk.c module
(AcpiPsDeleteParseTree) to improve performance and reduce code
size. (Code provided by Alexey Starikovskiy.)
Code and Data Size: Current and previous core subsystem library
sizes are shown below. These are the code and data sizes for the
acpica.lib produced by the Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0 compiler, and
these values do not include any ACPI driver or OSPM code. The
debug version of the code includes the debug output trace
mechanism and has a much larger code and data size. Note that
these values will vary depending on the efficiency of the
compiler and the compiler options used during generation.

Non-Debug Version: 78.3K Code, 11.5K Data, 89.8K Total
Debug Version: 165.4K Code, 69.7K Data, 236.1K Total
2) iASL Compiler/Disassembler:
Fixed a problem with the Return operator with no arguments. Since
the AML grammar for the byte encoding requires an operand for the
Return opcode, the compiler now emits a Return(Zero) for this
case. An ACPI specification update has been written for this
case.
For tables other than the DSDT, namepath optimization is
automatically disabled. This is because SSDTs can be loaded
anywhere in the namespace, the compiler has no knowledge of
where, and thus cannot optimize namepaths.
Added "ProcessorObj" to the ObjectTypeKeyword list. This object
type was inadvertently omitted from the ACPI specification, and
will require an update to the spec.
The source file scan for ASCII characters is now optional (-a).
This change was made because some vendors place non-ascii
characters within comments. However, the scan is simply a brute-
force byte compare to ensure all characters in the file are in
the range 0x00 to 0x7F.
Fixed a problem with the CondRefOf operator where the compiler
was inappropriately checking for the existence of the target.
Since the point of the operator is to check for the existence of
the target at run-time, the compiler no longer checks for the
target existence.
Fixed a problem where errors generated from the internal AML
interpreter during constant folding were not handled properly,
causing a fault.
Fixed a problem with overly aggressive range checking for the
Stall operator. The valid range (max 255) is now only checked if
the operand is of type Integer. All other operand types cannot be
statically checked.
Fixed a problem where control method references within the RefOf,
DeRefOf, and ObjectType operators were not treated properly. They
are now treated as actual references, not method invocations.
Fixed and enhanced the "list namespace" option (-ln). This option
was broken a number of releases ago.
Improved error handling for the Field, IndexField, and BankField
operators. The compiler now cleanly reports and recovers from
errors in the field component (FieldUnit) list.
Fixed a disassembler problem where the optional
ResourceDescriptor fields TRS and TTP were not always handled
correctly.
Disassembler - Comments in output now use "//" instead of "/*"
----------------------------------------
28 February 2005. Summary of changes for version 20050228:
1) ACPI CA Core Subsystem:
Fixed a problem where the result of an Index() operator (an
object reference) must increment the reference count on the
target object for the life of the object reference.
Implemented AML Interpreter and Debugger support for the new ACPI
3.0 Extended Address (IO, Memory, Space), QwordSpace, DwordSpace,
and WordSpace resource descriptors.
Implemented support in the _OSI method for the ACPI 3.0 "Extended
Address Space Descriptor" string, indicating interpreter support
for the descriptors above.
Implemented header support for the new ACPI 3.0 FADT flag bits.
Implemented header support for the new ACPI 3.0 PCI Express bits
for the PM1 status/enable registers.
Updated header support for the MADT processor local Apic struct
and MADT platform interrupt source struct for new ACPI 3.0
fields.
Implemented header support for the SRAT and SLIT ACPI tables.
Implemented the -s switch in AcpiExec to enable the

2) iASL Compiler/Disassembler:
Fixed a problem with the internal 64-bit String-to-integer
conversion with strings less than two characters long.
Fixed a problem with constant folding where the result of the
Index() operator can not be considered a constant. This means
that Index() cannot be a type3 opcode and this will require an
update to the ACPI specification.
Disassembler: Implemented support for the TTP, MTP, and TRS
resource descriptor fields. These fields were inadvertently
ignored and not output in the disassembly of the resource
descriptor.
----------------------------------------
11 February 2005. Summary of changes for version 20050211:
1) ACPI CA Core Subsystem:
Implemented ACPI 3.0 support for implicit conversion within the
Match() operator. MatchObjects can now be of type integer,
buffer, or string instead of just type integer. Package elements
are implicitly converted to the type of the MatchObject. This
change aligns the behavior of Match() with the behavior of the
other logical operators (LLess(), etc.) It also requires an
errata change to the ACPI specification as this support was
intended for ACPI 3.0, but was inadvertently omitted.
Fixed a problem with the internal implicit "to buffer"
conversion. Strings that are converted to buffers will cause
buffer truncation if the string is smaller than the target
buffer. Integers that are converted to buffers will not cause
buffer truncation, only zero extension (both as per the ACPI
spec.) The problem was introduced when code was added to truncate
the buffer, but this should not be performed in all cases, only
the string case.
Fixed a problem with the Buffer and Package operators where the
interpreter would get confused if two such operators were used as
operands to an ASL operator (such as
LLess(Buffer(1){0},Buffer(1){1}). The internal result stack was
not being popped after the execution of these operators,
resulting in an AE_NO_RETURN_VALUE exception.
Fixed a problem with constructs of the form
Store(Index(...),...). The reference object returned from Index
was inadvertently resolved to an actual value. This problem was
introduced in version 20050114 when the behavior of Store() was
modified to restrict the object types that can be used as the
source operand (to match the ACPI specification.)
Reduced excessive stack use within the AcpiGetObjectInfo
procedure.
Added a fix to aclinux.h to allow generation of AcpiExec on
Linux.
Updated the AcpiSrc utility to add the FADT_DESCRIPTOR_REV2_MINUS
struct.
Code and Data Size: Current and previous core subsystem library
sizes are shown below. These are the code and data sizes for the
acpica.lib produced by the Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0 compiler, and
these values do not include any ACPI driver or OSPM code. The

mechanism and has a much larger code and data size. Note that
these values will vary depending on the efficiency of the
compiler and the compiler options used during generation.

2) iASL Compiler/Disassembler:
Fixed a code generation problem in the constant folding
optimization code where incorrect code was generated if a
constant was reduced to a buffer object (i.e., a reduced type 5
opcode.)
Fixed a typechecking problem for the ToBuffer operator. Caused by
an incorrect return type in the internal opcode information
table.
----------------------------------------
25 January 2005. Summary of changes for version 20050125:
1) ACPI CA Core Subsystem:
Fixed a recently introduced problem with the Global Lock where
the underlying semaphore was not created. This problem was
introduced in version 20050114, and caused an AE_AML_NO_OPERAND
exception during an Acquire() operation on _GL.
The local object cache is now optional, and is disabled by
default. Both AcpiExec and the iASL compiler enable the cache
because they run in user mode and this enhances their
performance. #define ACPI_ENABLE_OBJECT_CACHE to enable the local
cache.
Fixed an issue in the internal function AcpiUtEvaluateObject
concerning the optional "implicit return" support where an error
was returned if no return object was expected, but one was
implicitly returned. AE_OK is now returned in this case and the
implicitly returned object is deleted. AcpiUtEvaluateObject is
only occasionally used, and only to execute reserved methods such
as _STA and _INI where the return type is known up front.
Fixed a few issues with the internal convert-to-integer code. It
now returns an error if an attempt is made to convert a null
string, a string of only blanks/tabs, or a zero-length buffer.
This affects both implicit conversion and explicit conversion via
the ToInteger() operator.
The internal debug code in AcpiUtAcquireMutex has been commented
out. It is not needed for normal operation and should increase
the performance of the entire subsystem. The code remains in case
it is needed for debug purposes again.
The AcpiExec source and makefile are included in the Unix/Linux
package for the first time.
Code and Data Size: Current and previous core subsystem library
sizes are shown below. These are the code and data sizes for the
acpica.lib produced by the Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0 compiler, and
these values do not include any ACPI driver or OSPM code. The
debug version of the code includes the debug output trace
mechanism and has a much larger code and data size. Note that
these values will vary depending on the efficiency of the
compiler and the compiler options used during generation.
Previous Release:
Non-Debug Version: 78.4K Code, 11.5K Data, 89.9K Total
Debug Version: 165.4K Code, 69.4K Data, 234.8K Total
Current Release:
Non-Debug Version: 78.1K Code, 11.5K Data, 89.6K Total
Debug Version: 164.8K Code, 69.2K Data, 234.0K Total
2) iASL Compiler/Disassembler:
Switch/Case support: A warning is now issued if the type of the
Switch value cannot be determined at compile time. For example,
Switch(Arg0) will generate the warning, and the type is assumed
to be an integer. As per the ACPI spec, use a construct such as
Switch(ToInteger(Arg0)) to eliminate the warning.
Switch/Case support: Implemented support for buffer and string
objects as the switch value. This is an ACPI 3.0 feature, now
that LEqual supports buffers and strings.
Switch/Case support: The emitted code for the LEqual()
comparisons now uses the switch value as the first operand, not
the second. The case value is now the second operand, and this
allows the case value to be implicitly converted to the type of
the switch value, not the other way around.
Switch/Case support: Temporary variables are now emitted
immediately within the control method, not at the global level.
This means that there are now 36 temps available per-method, not
36 temps per-module as was the case with the earlier
implementation (_T_0 through _T_9 and _T_A through _T_Z.)
----------------------------------------
14 January 2005. Summary of changes for version 20050114:
Added 2005 copyright to all module headers. This affects every
module in the core subsystem, iASL compiler, and the utilities.
1) ACPI CA Core Subsystem:
Fixed an issue with the String-to-Buffer conversion code where
the string null terminator was not included in the buffer after
conversion, but there is existing ASL that assumes the string
null terminator is included. This is the root of the
ACPI_AML_BUFFER_LIMIT regression. This problem was introduced in
the previous version when the code was updated to correctly set
the converted buffer size as per the ACPI specification. The ACPI
spec is ambiguous and will be updated to specify that the null
terminator must be included in the converted buffer. This also
affects the ToBuffer() ASL operator.
Fixed a problem with the Mid() ASL/AML operator where it did not
work correctly on Buffer objects. Newly created sub-buffers were
not being marked as initialized.

Vendor import of Intel ACPI-CA 20051021
2005-11-01 22:11:18 +00:00
Fixed a problem in AcpiTbFindTable where incorrect string
compares were performed on the OemId and OemTableId table header
fields. These fields are not null terminated, so strncmp is now
used instead of strcmp.
Implemented a restriction on the Store() ASL/AML operator to
align the behavior with the ACPI specification. Previously, any
object could be used as the source operand. Now, the only
objects that may be used are Integers, Buffers, Strings,
Packages, Object References, and DDB Handles. If necessary, the
original behavior can be restored by enabling the
EnableInterpreterSlack flag.
Enhanced the optional "implicit return" support to allow an
implicit return value from methods that are invoked externally
via the AcpiEvaluateObject interface. This enables implicit
returns from the _STA and _INI methods, for example.
Changed the Revision() ASL/AML operator to return the current
version of the AML interpreter, in the YYYYMMDD format.
Previously, it incorrectly returned the supported ACPI version
(This is the function of the _REV method).
Updated the _REV predefined method to return the currently
supported version of ACPI, now 3.
Implemented batch mode option for the AcpiExec utility (-b).
Code and Data Size: Current and previous core subsystem library
sizes are shown below. These are the code and data sizes for the
acpica.lib produced by the Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0 compiler, and
these values do not include any ACPI driver or OSPM code. The
debug version of the code includes the debug output trace
mechanism and has a much larger code and data size. Note that
these values will vary depending on the efficiency of the
compiler and the compiler options used during generation.

----------------------------------------
10 December 2004. Summary of changes for version 20041210:
ACPI 3.0 support is nearing completion in both the iASL compiler
and the ACPI CA core subsystem.
1) ACPI CA Core Subsystem:
Fixed a problem in the ToDecimalString operator where the
resulting string length was incorrectly calculated. The length is
now calculated exactly, eliminating incorrect AE_STRING_LIMIT
exceptions.
Fixed a problem in the ToHexString operator to allow a maximum
200 character string to be produced.
Fixed a problem in the internal string-to-buffer and buffer-to-
buffer copy routine where the length of the resulting buffer was
not truncated to the new size (if the target buffer already
existed).
Code and Data Size: Current and previous core subsystem library
sizes are shown below. These are the code and data sizes for the
acpica.lib produced by the Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0 compiler, and
these values do not include any ACPI driver or OSPM code. The
debug version of the code includes the debug output trace
mechanism and has a much larger code and data size. Note that
these values will vary depending on the efficiency of the
compiler and the compiler options used during generation.

Current Release:
Non-Debug Version: 78.3K Code, 11.5K Data, 89.8K Total
Debug Version: 165.3K Code, 69.4K Data, 234.7K Total
2) iASL Compiler/Disassembler:
Implemented the new ACPI 3.0 resource template macros -
DWordSpace, ExtendedIO, ExtendedMemory, ExtendedSpace,
QWordSpace, and WordSpace. Includes support in the disassembler.
Implemented support for the new (ACPI 3.0) parameter to the
Register macro, AccessSize.
Fixed a problem where the _HE resource name for the Interrupt
macro was referencing bit 0 instead of bit 1.
Implemented check for maximum 255 interrupts in the Interrupt
macro.
Fixed a problem with the predefined resource descriptor names
where incorrect AML code was generated if the offset within the
resource buffer was 0 or 1. The optimizer shortened the AML code
to a single byte opcode but did not update the surrounding
package lengths.
Changes to the Dma macro: All channels within the channel list
must be in the range 0-7. Maximum 8 channels can be specified.
BusMaster operand is optional (default is BusMaster).
Implemented check for maximum 7 data bytes for the VendorShort
macro.
The ReadWrite parameter is now optional for the Memory32 and
similar macros.
----------------------------------------
03 December 2004. Summary of changes for version 20041203:
1) ACPI CA Core Subsystem:
The low-level field insertion/extraction code (exfldio) has been
completely rewritten to eliminate unnecessary complexity, bugs,
and boundary conditions.
Fixed a problem in the ToInteger, ToBuffer, ToHexString, and
ToDecimalString operators where the input operand could be
inadvertently deleted if no conversion was necessary (e.g., if
the input to ToInteger was an Integer object.)
Fixed a problem with the ToDecimalString and ToHexString where an
incorrect exception code was returned if the resulting string
would be > 200 chars. AE_STRING_LIMIT is now returned.
Fixed a problem with the Concatenate operator where AE_OK was
always returned, even if the operation failed.
Fixed a problem in oswinxf (used by AcpiExec and iASL) to allow >
128 semaphores to be allocated.
Code and Data Size: Current and previous core subsystem library
sizes are shown below. These are the code and data sizes for the
acpica.lib produced by the Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0 compiler, and
these values do not include any ACPI driver or OSPM code. The
debug version of the code includes the debug output trace
mechanism and has a much larger code and data size. Note that
these values will vary depending on the efficiency of the
compiler and the compiler options used during generation.

2) iASL Compiler/Disassembler:
Fixed typechecking for the ObjectType and SizeOf operators.
Problem was recently introduced in 20041119.
Fixed a problem with the ToUUID macro where the upper nybble of
each buffer byte was inadvertently set to zero.

1) ACPI CA Core Subsystem:
Vendor import of Intel ACPI-CA 20051021
2005-11-01 22:11:18 +00:00
Fixed a problem in the internal ConvertToInteger routine where
new integers were not truncated to 32 bits for 32-bit ACPI
tables. This routine converts buffers and strings to integers.
Implemented support to store a value to an Index() on a String
object. This is an ACPI 2.0 feature that had not yet been
implemented.
Implemented new behavior for storing objects to individual
package elements (via the Index() operator). The previous
behavior was to invoke the implicit conversion rules if an object
was already present at the index. The new behavior is to simply
delete any existing object and directly store the new object.
Although the ACPI specification seems unclear on this subject,
other ACPI implementations behave in this manner. (This is the
root of the AE_BAD_HEX_CONSTANT issue.)
Modified the RSDP memory scan mechanism to support the extended
checksum for ACPI 2.0 (and above) RSDPs. Note that the search
continues until a valid RSDP signature is found with a valid
checksum.
Code and Data Size: Current and previous core subsystem library
sizes are shown below. These are the code and data sizes for the
acpica.lib produced by the Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0 compiler, and

----------------------------------------
05 November 2004. Summary of changes for version 20041105:
1) ACPI CA Core Subsystem:
Implemented support for FADT revision 2. This was an interim
table (between ACPI 1.0 and ACPI 2.0) that adds support for the
FADT reset register.
Implemented optional support to allow uninitialized LocalX and
ArgX variables in a control method. The variables are
initialized to an Integer object with a value of zero. This
support is enabled by setting the AcpiGbl_EnableInterpreterSlack
flag to TRUE.
Implemented support for Integer objects for the SizeOf operator.
Either 4 or 8 is returned, depending on the current integer size
(32-bit or 64-bit, depending on the parent table revision).
Fixed a problem in the implementation of the SizeOf and
ObjectType operators where the operand was resolved to a value
too early, causing incorrect return values for some objects.
Fixed some possible memory leaks during exceptional conditions.
Code and Data Size: Current and previous core subsystem library
sizes are shown below. These are the code and data sizes for the
acpica.lib produced by the Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0 compiler, and
these values do not include any ACPI driver or OSPM code. The
debug version of the code includes the debug output trace
mechanism and has a much larger code and data size. Note that
these values will vary depending on the efficiency of the
compiler and the compiler options used during generation.

2) iASL Compiler/Disassembler:
Implemented support for all ACPI 3.0 reserved names and methods.
Implemented all ACPI 3.0 grammar elements in the front-end,
including support for semicolons.
Implemented the ACPI 3.0 Function() and ToUUID() macros
Fixed a problem in the disassembler where a Scope() operator
would not be emitted properly if the target of the scope was in
another table.
----------------------------------------
15 October 2004. Summary of changes for version 20041015:
Note: ACPI CA is currently undergoing an in-depth and complete
formal evaluation to test/verify the following areas. Other
suggestions are welcome. This will result in an increase in the
frequency of releases and the number of bug fixes in the next few
months.
- Functional tests for all ASL/AML operators
- All implicit/explicit type conversions
- Bit fields and operation regions
- 64-bit math support and 32-bit-only "truncated" math support
- Exceptional conditions, both compiler and interpreter
- Dynamic object deletion and memory leaks
- ACPI 3.0 support when implemented
- External interfaces to the ACPI subsystem
1) ACPI CA Core Subsystem:
Fixed two alignment issues on 64-bit platforms - within debug
statements in AcpiEvGpeDetect and AcpiEvCreateGpeBlock. Removed
references to the Address field within the non-aligned ACPI
generic address structure.
Fixed a problem in the Increment and Decrement operators where
incorrect operand resolution could result in the inadvertent
modification of the original integer when the integer is passed
into another method as an argument and the arg is then
incremented/decremented.
Fixed a problem in the FromBCD operator where the upper 32-bits
of a 64-bit BCD number were truncated during conversion.
Fixed a problem in the ToDecimal operator where the length of the
resulting string could be set incorrectly too long if the input
operand was a Buffer object.
Fixed a problem in the Logical operators (LLess, etc.) where a
NULL byte (0) within a buffer would prematurely terminate a
compare between buffer objects.
Added a check for string overflow (>200 characters as per the
ACPI specification) during the Concatenate operator with two
string operands.
Code and Data Size: Current and previous core subsystem library
sizes are shown below. These are the code and data sizes for the
acpica.lib produced by the Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0 compiler, and
these values do not include any ACPI driver or OSPM code. The

mechanism and has a much larger code and data size. Note that
these values will vary depending on the efficiency of the

2) iASL Compiler/Disassembler:
Allow the use of the ObjectType operator on uninitialized Locals
and Args (returns 0 as per the ACPI specification).
Fixed a problem where the compiler would fault if there was a
syntax error in the FieldName of all of the various
CreateXXXField operators.
Disallow the use of lower case letters within the EISAID macro,
as per the ACPI specification. All EISAID strings must be of the
form "UUUNNNN" Where U is an uppercase letter and N is a hex
digit.
----------------------------------------
06 October 2004. Summary of changes for version 20041006:
1) ACPI CA Core Subsystem:
Implemented support for the ACPI 3.0 Timer operator. This ASL
function implements a 64-bit timer with 100 nanosecond
granularity.
Defined a new OSL interface, AcpiOsGetTimer. This interface is
used to implement the ACPI 3.0 Timer operator. This allows the
host OS to implement the timer with the best clock available.
Also, it keeps the core subsystem out of the clock handling
business, since the host OS (usually) performs this function.
Fixed an alignment issue on 64-bit platforms. The
HwLowLevelRead(Write) functions use a 64-bit address which is
part of the packed ACPI Generic Address Structure. Since the
structure is non-aligned, the alignment macros are now used to
extract the address to a local variable before use.
Fixed a problem where the ToInteger operator assumed all input
strings were hexadecimal. The operator now handles both decimal
strings and hex strings (prefixed with "0x").
Fixed a problem where the string length in the string object
created as a result of the internal ConvertToString procedure
could be incorrect. This potentially affected all implicit
conversions and also the ToDecimalString and ToHexString
operators.
Fixed two problems in the ToString operator. If the length
parameter was zero, an incorrect string object was created and
the value of the input length parameter was inadvertently changed
from zero to Ones.
Fixed a problem where the optional ResourceSource string in the
ExtendedIRQ resource macro was ignored.
Simplified the interfaces to the internal division functions,
reducing code size and complexity.
Code and Data Size: Current and previous core subsystem library
sizes are shown below. These are the code and data sizes for the
acpica.lib produced by the Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0 compiler, and
these values do not include any ACPI driver or OSPM code. The
debug version of the code includes the debug output trace
mechanism and has a much larger code and data size. Note that
these values will vary depending on the efficiency of the
compiler and the compiler options used during generation.

2) iASL Compiler/Disassembler:
Implemented support for the ACPI 3.0 Timer operator.
Fixed a problem where the Default() operator was inadvertently
ignored in a Switch/Case block. This was a problem in the
translation of the Switch statement to If...Else pairs.
Added support to allow a standalone Return operator, with no
parentheses (or operands).
Fixed a problem with code generation for the ElseIf operator
where the translated Else...If parse tree was improperly
constructed leading to the loss of some code.
----------------------------------------
22 September 2004. Summary of changes for version 20040922:
1) ACPI CA Core Subsystem:
Fixed a problem with the implementation of the LNot() operator
where "Ones" was not returned for the TRUE case. Changed the code
to return Ones instead of (!Arg) which was usually 1. This change
affects iASL constant folding for this operator also.
Fixed a problem in AcpiUtInitializeBuffer where an existing
buffer was not initialized properly -- Now zero the entire buffer
in this case where the buffer already exists.
Changed the interface to AcpiOsSleep from (UINT32 Seconds, UINT32
Milliseconds) to simply (ACPI_INTEGER Milliseconds). This
simplifies all related code considerably. This will require
changes/updates to all OS interface layers (OSLs.)
Implemented a new external interface,
AcpiInstallExceptionHandler, to allow a system exception handler
to be installed. This handler is invoked upon any run-time
exception that occurs during control method execution.
Added support for the DSDT in AcpiTbFindTable. This allows the
DataTableRegion() operator to access the local copy of the DSDT.
Code and Data Size: Current and previous core subsystem library
sizes are shown below. These are the code and data sizes for the
acpica.lib produced by the Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0 compiler, and
these values do not include any ACPI driver or OSPM code. The

Non-Debug Version: 77.9K Code, 11.4K Data, 89.3K Total
Debug Version: 164.5K Code, 68.3K Data, 232.8K Total
2) iASL Compiler/Disassembler:
Fixed a problem with constant folding and the LNot operator. LNot
was returning 1 in the TRUE case, not Ones as per the ACPI
specification. This could result in the generation of an
incorrect folded/reduced constant.
End-Of-File is now allowed within a "//"-style comment. A parse
error no longer occurs if such a comment is at the very end of
the input ASL source file.
Implemented the "-r" option to override the Revision in the table
header. The initial use of this option will be to simplify the
evaluation of the AML interpreter by allowing a single ASL source
module to be compiled for either 32-bit or 64-bit integers.
----------------------------------------
27 August 2004. Summary of changes for version 20040827:
1) ACPI CA Core Subsystem:
- Implemented support for implicit object conversion in the non-
numeric logical operators (LEqual, LGreater, LGreaterEqual,
LLess, LLessEqual, and LNotEqual.) Any combination of
Integers/Strings/Buffers may now be used; the second operand is
implicitly converted on the fly to match the type of the first
operand. For example:
LEqual (Source1, Source2)
Source1 and Source2 must each evaluate to an integer, a string,
or a buffer. The data type of Source1 dictates the required type
of Source2. Source2 is implicitly converted if necessary to match
the type of Source1.
- Updated and corrected the behavior of the string conversion
support. The rules concerning conversion of buffers to strings
(according to the ACPI specification) are as follows:
ToDecimalString - explicit byte-wise conversion of buffer to
string of decimal values (0-255) separated by commas. ToHexString
- explicit byte-wise conversion of buffer to string of hex values
(0-FF) separated by commas. ToString - explicit byte-wise
conversion of buffer to string. Byte-by-byte copy with no
transform except NULL terminated. Any other implicit buffer-to-
string conversion - byte-wise conversion of buffer to string of
hex values (0-FF) separated by spaces.
- Fixed typo in definition of AcpiGbl_EnableInterpreterSlack.
- Fixed a problem in AcpiNsGetPathnameLength where the returned
length was one byte too short in the case of a node in the root
scope. This could cause a fault during debug output.
- Code and Data Size: Current and previous core subsystem library
sizes are shown below. These are the code and data sizes for the
acpica.lib produced by the Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0 compiler, and
these values do not include any ACPI driver or OSPM code. The
debug version of the code includes the debug output trace
mechanism and has a much larger code and data size. Note that
these values will vary depending on the efficiency of the
compiler and the compiler options used during generation.

----------------------------------------
16 August 2004. Summary of changes for version 20040816:
1) ACPI CA Core Subsystem:
Designed and implemented support within the AML interpreter for
the so-called "implicit return". This support returns the result
of the last ASL operation within a control method, in the absence
of an explicit Return() operator. A few machines depend on this
behavior, even though it is not explicitly supported by the ASL
language. It is optional support that can be enabled at runtime
Vendor import of Intel ACPI-CA 20070320

via the AcpiGbl_EnableInterpreterSlack flag.
Vendor import of Intel ACPI-CA 20041119
2004-12-01 23:14:10 +00:00
Removed support for the PCI_Config address space from the
internal low level hardware interfaces (AcpiHwLowLevelRead and
AcpiHwLowLevelWrite). This support was not used internally, and
would not work correctly anyway because the PCI bus number and
segment number were not supported. There are separate interfaces
for PCI configuration space access because of the unique
interface.
Code and Data Size: Current and previous core subsystem library
sizes are shown below. These are the code and data sizes for the
acpica.lib produced by the Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0 compiler, and
these values do not include any ACPI driver or OSPM code. The

these values will vary depending on the efficiency of the
compiler and the compiler options used during generation.

2) iASL Compiler/Disassembler:
Fixed a problem where constants in ASL expressions at the root
level (not within a control method) could be inadvertently
truncated during code generation. This problem was introduced in
the 20040715 release.
----------------------------------------
15 July 2004. Summary of changes for version 20040715:
1) ACPI CA Core Subsystem:
Restructured the internal HW GPE interfaces to pass/track the
current state of interrupts (enabled/disabled) in order to avoid
possible deadlock and increase flexibility of the interfaces.
Implemented a "lexicographical compare" for String and Buffer
objects within the logical operators -- LGreater, LLess,
LGreaterEqual, and LLessEqual -- as per further clarification to
the ACPI specification. Behavior is similar to C library
"strcmp".
Completed a major reduction in CPU stack use for the
AcpiGetFirmwareTable external function. In the 32-bit non-debug
case, the stack use has been reduced from 168 bytes to 32 bytes.
Deployed a new run-time configuration flag,
AcpiGbl_EnableInterpreterSlack, whose purpose is to allow the AML
interpreter to forgive certain bad AML constructs. Default
setting is FALSE.
Implemented the first use of AcpiGbl_EnableInterpreterSlack in
the Field IO support code. If enabled, it allows field access to
go beyond the end of a region definition if the field is within
the region length rounded up to the next access width boundary (a
common coding error.)
Renamed OSD_HANDLER to ACPI_OSD_HANDLER, and
OSD_EXECUTION_CALLBACK to ACPI_OSD_EXEC_CALLBACK for consistency
with other ACPI symbols. Also, these symbols are lowercased by
the latest version of the AcpiSrc tool.
The prototypes for the PCI interfaces in acpiosxf.h have been
updated to rename "Register" to simply "Reg" to prevent certain
compilers from complaining.
Code and Data Size: Current and previous core subsystem library
sizes are shown below. These are the code and data sizes for the
acpica.lib produced by the Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0 compiler, and
these values do not include any ACPI driver or OSPM code. The
debug version of the code includes the debug output trace
mechanism and has a much larger code and data size. Note that
these values will vary depending on the efficiency of the
compiler and the compiler options used during generation.

2) iASL Compiler/Disassembler:
Implemented full support for Package objects within the Case()
operator. Note: The Break() operator is currently not supported
within Case blocks (TermLists) as there is some question about
backward compatibility with ACPI 1.0 interpreters.

within the Switch() operator.
Eliminated extraneous warning for compiler-emitted reserved names
of the form "_T_x". (Used in Switch/Case operators.)
Eliminated optimization messages for "_T_x" objects and small
constants within the DefinitionBlock operator.
----------------------------------------
15 June 2004. Summary of changes for version 20040615:
1) ACPI CA Core Subsystem:
Implemented support for Buffer and String objects (as per ACPI
2.0) for the following ASL operators: LEqual, LGreater, LLess,
LGreaterEqual, and LLessEqual.
All directory names in the entire source package are lower case,
as they were in earlier releases.
Implemented "Disassemble" command in the AML debugger that will
disassemble a single control method.
Code and Data Size: Current and previous core subsystem library
sizes are shown below. These are the code and data sizes for the
acpica.lib produced by the Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0 compiler, and
these values do not include any ACPI driver or OSPM code. The

Fixed a fault when using the -g or -d<nofilename> options if the
FADT was not found.
Fixed an issue with the Windows version of the compiler where
later versions of Windows place the FADT in the registry under
the name "FADT" and not "FACP" as earlier versions did. This
applies when using the -g or -d<nofilename> options. The
compiler now looks for both strings as necessary.
Fixed a problem with compiler namepath optimization where a
namepath within the Scope() operator could not be optimized if
the namepath was a subpath of the current scope path.

----------------------------------------
27 May 2004. Summary of changes for version 20040527:
1) ACPI CA Core Subsystem:
Completed a new design and implementation for EBDA (Extended BIOS
Data Area) support in the RSDP scan code. The original code
improperly scanned for the EBDA by simply scanning from memory
location 0 to 0x400. The correct method is to first obtain the
EBDA pointer from within the BIOS data area, then scan 1K of
memory starting at the EBDA pointer. There appear to be few if
any machines that place the RSDP in the EBDA, however.
Integrated a fix for a possible fault during evaluation of
BufferField arguments. Obsolete code that was causing the
problem was removed.
Found and fixed a problem in the Field Support Code where data
could be corrupted on a bit field read that starts on an aligned
boundary but does not end on an aligned boundary. Merged the
read/write "datum length" calculation code into a common
procedure.
Rolled in a couple of changes to the FreeBSD-specific header.

----------------------------------------
14 May 2004. Summary of changes for version 20040514:
1) ACPI CA Core Subsystem:
Fixed a problem where hardware GPE enable bits sometimes not set
properly during and after GPE method execution. Result of 04/27
changes.
Removed extra "clear all GPEs" when sleeping/waking.
Removed AcpiHwEnableGpe and AcpiHwDisableGpe, replaced by the
single AcpiHwWriteGpeEnableReg. Changed a couple of calls to the
functions above to the new AcpiEv* calls as appropriate.
ACPI_OS_NAME was removed from the OS-specific headers. The
default name is now "Microsoft Windows NT" for maximum
compatibility. However this can be changed by modifying the
acconfig.h file.
Allow a single invocation of AcpiInstallNotifyHandler for a
handler that traps both types of notifies (System, Device). Use
ACPI_ALL_NOTIFY flag.
Run _INI methods on ThermalZone objects. This is against the
ACPI specification, but there is apparently ASL code in the field
that has these _INI methods, and apparently "other" AML
interpreters execute them.
Performed a full 16/32/64 bit lint that resulted in some small
changes.
Added a sleep simulation command to the AML debugger to test
sleep code.
Code and Data Size: Current and previous core subsystem library
sizes are shown below. These are the code and data sizes for the
acpica.lib produced by the Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0 compiler, and
these values do not include any ACPI driver or OSPM code. The

these values will vary depending on the efficiency of the

----------------------------------------
27 April 2004. Summary of changes for version 20040427:
1) ACPI CA Core Subsystem:
Completed a major overhaul of the GPE handling within ACPI CA.
There are now three types of GPEs: wake-only, runtime-only, and
combination wake/run. The only GPEs allowed to be combination
wake/run are for button-style devices such as a control-method
power button, control-method sleep button, or a notebook lid
switch. GPEs that have an _Lxx or _Exx method and are not
referenced by any _PRW methods are marked for "runtime" and
hardware enabled. Any GPE that is referenced by a _PRW method is
marked for "wake" (and disabled at runtime). However, at sleep
time, only those GPEs that have been specifically enabled for
wake via the AcpiEnableGpe interface will actually be hardware
enabled.
A new external interface has been added, AcpiSetGpeType(), that
is meant to be used by device drivers to force a GPE to a
particular type. It will be especially useful for the drivers
for the button devices mentioned above.
Completed restructuring of the ACPI CA initialization sequence so
that default operation region handlers are installed before GPEs
are initialized and the _PRW methods are executed. This will
prevent errors when the _PRW methods attempt to access system
memory or I/O space.
GPE enable/disable no longer reads the GPE enable register. We
now keep the enable info for runtime and wake separate and in the
GPE_EVENT_INFO. We thus no longer depend on the hardware to
maintain these bits.
Always clear the wake status and fixed/GPE status bits before
sleep, even for state S5.
Improved the AML debugger output for displaying the GPE blocks
and their current status.
Added new strings for the _OSI method, of the form "Windows 2001
SPx" where x = 0,1,2,3,4.
Fixed a problem where the physical address was incorrectly
calculated when the Load() operator was used to directly load
from an Operation Region (vs. loading from a Field object.) Also
added check for minimum table length for this case.
Fix for multiple mutex acquisition. Restore original thread
SyncLevel on mutex release.
Added ACPI_VALID_SXDS flag to the AcpiGetObjectInfo interface for
consistency with the other fields returned.
Shrunk the ACPI_GPE_EVENT_INFO structure by 40%. There is one
such structure for each GPE in the system, so the size of this
structure is important.
CPU stack requirement reduction: Cleaned up the method execution
and object evaluation paths so that now a parameter structure is
passed, instead of copying the various method parameters over and
over again.
In evregion.c: Correctly exit and reenter the interpreter region
if and only if dispatching an operation region request to a user-
installed handler. Do not exit/reenter when dispatching to a
default handler (e.g., default system memory or I/O handlers)
Notes for updating drivers for the new GPE support. The
following changes must be made to ACPI-related device drivers
that are attached to one or more GPEs: (This information will be
added to the ACPI CA Programmer Reference.)
1) AcpiInstallGpeHandler no longer automatically enables the GPE,
you must explicitly call AcpiEnableGpe.
2) There is a new interface called AcpiSetGpeType. This should be
called before enabling the GPE. Also, this interface will
automatically disable the GPE if it is currently enabled.
3) AcpiEnableGpe no longer supports a GPE type flag.
Specific drivers that must be changed:
1) EC driver:
AcpiInstallGpeHandler (NULL, GpeNum, ACPI_GPE_EDGE_TRIGGERED,
AeGpeHandler, NULL);
AcpiSetGpeType (NULL, GpeNum, ACPI_GPE_TYPE_RUNTIME);
AcpiEnableGpe (NULL, GpeNum, ACPI_NOT_ISR);
2) Button Drivers (Power, Lid, Sleep):
Run _PRW method under parent device
If _PRW exists: /* This is a control-method button */
Extract GPE number and possibly GpeDevice
AcpiSetGpeType (GpeDevice, GpeNum, ACPI_GPE_TYPE_WAKE_RUN);
AcpiEnableGpe (GpeDevice, GpeNum, ACPI_NOT_ISR);
For all other devices that have _PRWs, we automatically set the
GPE type to ACPI_GPE_TYPE_WAKE, but the GPE is NOT automatically
(wake) enabled. This must be done on a selective basis, usually
requiring some kind of user app to allow the user to pick the
wake devices.
Code and Data Size: Current and previous core subsystem library
sizes are shown below. These are the code and data sizes for the
acpica.lib produced by the Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0 compiler, and
these values do not include any ACPI driver or OSPM code. The

these values will vary depending on the efficiency of the
compiler and the compiler options used during generation.

----------------------------------------
02 April 2004. Summary of changes for version 20040402:
1) ACPI CA Core Subsystem:
Fixed an interpreter problem where an indirect store through an
ArgX parameter was incorrectly applying the "implicit conversion
rules" during the store. From the ACPI specification: "If the
target is a method local or argument (LocalX or ArgX), no
conversion is performed and the result is stored directly to the
target". The new behavior is to disable implicit conversion
during ALL stores to an ArgX.
Changed the behavior of the _PRW method scan to ignore any and
all errors returned by a given _PRW. This prevents the scan from
aborting from the failure of any single _PRW.
Moved the runtime configuration parameters from the global init
procedure to static variables in acglobal.h. This will allow the
host to override the default values easily.
Code and Data Size: Current and previous core subsystem library
sizes are shown below. These are the code and data sizes for the
acpica.lib produced by the Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0 compiler, and
these values do not include any ACPI driver or OSPM code. The
debug version of the code includes the debug output trace
mechanism and has a much larger code and data size. Note that
these values will vary depending on the efficiency of the
compiler and the compiler options used during generation.

Debug Version: 161.0K Code, 66.3K Data, 227.3K Total
2) iASL Compiler/Disassembler:
iASL now fully disassembles SSDTs. However, External()
statements are not generated automatically for unresolved symbols
at this time. This is a planned feature for future
implementation.
Fixed a scoping problem in the disassembler that occurs when the
type of the target of a Scope() operator is overridden. This
problem caused an incorrectly nested internal namespace to be
constructed.
Any warnings or errors that are emitted during disassembly are
now commented out automatically so that the resulting file can be
recompiled without any hand editing.
----------------------------------------
26 March 2004. Summary of changes for version 20040326:
1) ACPI CA Core Subsystem:
Implemented support for "wake" GPEs via interaction between GPEs
and the _PRW methods. Every GPE that is pointed to by one or
more _PRWs is identified as a WAKE GPE and by default will no
longer be enabled at runtime. Previously, we were blindly
enabling all GPEs with a corresponding _Lxx or _Exx method - but
most of these turn out to be WAKE GPEs anyway. We believe this
has been the cause of thousands of "spurious" GPEs on some
systems.
This new GPE behavior is can be reverted to the original behavior
(enable ALL GPEs at runtime) via a runtime flag.
Fixed a problem where aliased control methods could not access
objects properly. The proper scope within the namespace was not
initialized (transferred to the target of the aliased method)
before executing the target method.
Fixed a potential race condition on internal object deletion on
the return object in AcpiEvaluateObject.
Integrated a fix for resource descriptors where both _MEM and
_MTP were being extracted instead of just _MEM. (i.e. bitmask
was incorrectly too wide, 0x0F instead of 0x03.)
Added a special case for ACPI_ROOT_OBJECT in AcpiUtGetNodeName,
preventing a fault in some cases.
Updated Notify() values for debug statements in evmisc.c
Return proper status from AcpiUtMutexInitialize, not just simply
AE_OK.
Code and Data Size: Current and previous core subsystem library
sizes are shown below. These are the code and data sizes for the
acpica.lib produced by the Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0 compiler, and
these values do not include any ACPI driver or OSPM code. The
debug version of the code includes the debug output trace
mechanism and has a much larger code and data size. Note that
these values will vary depending on the efficiency of the
compiler and the compiler options used during generation.

----------------------------------------
11 March 2004. Summary of changes for version 20040311:
1) ACPI CA Core Subsystem:
Fixed a problem where errors occurring during the parse phase of
control method execution did not abort cleanly. For example,
objects created and installed in the namespace were not deleted.
This caused all subsequent invocations of the method to return
the AE_ALREADY_EXISTS exception.
Implemented a mechanism to force a control method to "Serialized"
execution if the method attempts to create namespace objects.
(The root of the AE_ALREADY_EXISTS problem.)
Implemented support for the predefined _OSI "internal" control
method. Initial supported strings are "Linux", "Windows 2000",
"Windows 2001", and "Windows 2001.1", and can be easily upgraded
for new strings as necessary. This feature will allow "other"
operating systems to execute the fully tested, "Windows" code
path through the ASL code
Global Lock Support: Now allows multiple acquires and releases
with any internal thread. Removed concept of "owning thread" for
this special mutex.
Fixed two functions that were inappropriately declaring large
objects on the CPU stack: PsParseLoop, NsEvaluateRelative.
Reduces the stack usage during method execution considerably.
Fixed a problem in the ACPI 2.0 FACS descriptor (actbl2.h) where
the S4Bios_f field was incorrectly defined as UINT32 instead of
UINT32_BIT.
Fixed a problem where AcpiEvGpeDetect would fault if there were
no GPEs defined on the machine.
Implemented two runtime options: One to force all control method
execution to "Serialized" to mimic Windows behavior, another to
disable _OSI support if it causes problems on a given machine.
Code and Data Size: Current and previous core subsystem library
sizes are shown below. These are the code and data sizes for the
acpica.lib produced by the Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0 compiler, and
these values do not include any ACPI driver or OSPM code. The

these values will vary depending on the efficiency of the
compiler and the compiler options used during generation.

Check for End-Of-Buffer failure case in the WalkResources
interface.
Integrated fix for 64-bit alignment issue in acglobal.h by moving
two structures to the beginning of the file.
After wake, clear GPE status register(s) before enabling GPEs.
After wake, clear/enable power button. (Perhaps we should
clear/enable all fixed events upon wake.)

1) ACPI CA Core Subsystem:
Completed investigation and implementation of the call-by-
reference mechanism for control method arguments.
Fixed a problem where a store of an object into an indexed
package could fail if the store occurs within a different method
than the method that created the package.
Fixed a problem where the ToDecimal operator could return
incorrect results.
Fixed a problem where the CopyObject operator could fail on some
of the more obscure objects (e.g., Reference objects.)
Improved the output of the Debug object to display buffer,
package, and index objects.
Fixed a problem where constructs of the form "RefOf (ArgX)" did
not return the expected result.
Added permanent ACPI_REPORT_ERROR macros for all instances of the
ACPI_AML_INTERNAL exception.
Integrated latest version of acfreebsd.h
----------------------------------------
16 January 2004. Summary of changes for version 20040116:
The purpose of this release is primarily to update the copyright
years in each module, thus causing a huge number of diffs. There
are a few small functional changes, however.
1) ACPI CA Core Subsystem:
Improved error messages when there is a problem finding one or
more of the required base ACPI tables
Reintroduced the definition of APIC_HEADER in actbl.h
Changed definition of MADT_ADDRESS_OVERRIDE to 64 bits (actbl.h)
Removed extraneous reference to NewObj in dsmthdat.c
2) iASL compiler
Fixed a problem introduced in December that disabled the correct
disassembly of Resource Templates
----------------------------------------
03 December 2003. Summary of changes for version 20031203:
1) ACPI CA Core Subsystem:
Changed the initialization of Operation Regions during subsystem
init to perform two entire walks of the ACPI namespace; The first
to initialize the regions themselves, the second to execute the
_REG methods. This fixed some interdependencies across _REG
methods found on some machines.
Fixed a problem where a Store(Local0, Local1) could simply update
the object reference count, and not create a new copy of the
object if the Local1 is uninitialized.
Implemented support for the _SST reserved method during sleep
transitions.
Implemented support to clear the SLP_TYP and SLP_EN bits when
waking up, this is apparently required by some machines.
When sleeping, clear the wake status only if SleepState is not
S5.
Fixed a problem in AcpiRsExtendedIrqResource() where an incorrect
pointer arithmetic advanced a string pointer too far.
Fixed a problem in AcpiTbGetTablePtr() where a garbage pointer
could be returned if the requested table has not been loaded.
Within the support for IRQ resources, restructured the handling
of
the active and edge/level bits.
Fixed a few problems in AcpiPsxExecute() where memory could be
leaked under certain error conditions.
Improved error messages for the cases where the ACPI mode could
not be entered.
Code and Data Size: Current and previous core subsystem library
sizes are shown below. These are the code and data sizes for the
acpica.lib produced by the Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0 compiler, and
these values do not include any ACPI driver or OSPM code. The

these values will vary depending on the efficiency of the
compiler
and the compiler options used during generation.

Fixed a problem where a level-triggered GPE with an associated
_Lxx control method was incorrectly cleared twice.
Fixed a problem with the Field support code where an access can
occur beyond the end-of-region if the field is non-aligned but
extends to the very end of the parent region (resulted in an
AE_AML_REGION_LIMIT exception.)
Fixed a problem with ACPI Fixed Events where an RT Clock handler
would not get invoked on an RTC event. The RTC event bitmasks
for
the PM1 registers were not being initialized properly.
Implemented support for executing _STA and _INI methods for
Processor objects. Although this is currently not part of the
ACPI specification, there is existing ASL code that depends on
the
init-time execution of these methods.
Implemented and deployed a GetDescriptorName function to decode
the various types of internal descriptors. Guards against null
descriptors during debug output also.
Implemented and deployed a GetNodeName function to extract the 4-
character namespace node name. This function simplifies the
debug
and error output, as well as guarding against null pointers
during
output.
Implemented and deployed the ACPI_FORMAT_UINT64 helper macro to
simplify the debug and error output of 64-bit integers. This
macro replaces the HIDWORD and LODWORD macros for dumping these
integers.
Updated the implementation of the Stall() operator to only call
AcpiOsStall(), and also return an error if the operand is larger
than 255. This preserves the required behavior of not
relinquishing the processor, as would happen if AcpiOsSleep() was
called for "long stalls".
Constructs of the form "Store(LocalX,LocalX)" where LocalX is not
initialized are now treated as NOOPs.
Cleaned up a handful of warnings during 64-bit generation.
Fixed a reported error where and incorrect GPE number was passed
to the GPE dispatch handler. This value is only used for error
output, however. Used this opportunity to clean up and
streamline
the GPE dispatch code.
Code and Data Size: Current and previous core subsystem library
sizes are shown below. These are the code and data sizes for the
acpica.lib produced by the Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0 compiler, and
these values do not include any ACPI driver or OSPM code. The

debug version of the code includes the debug output trace
mechanism and has a much larger code and data size. Note that
these values will vary depending on the efficiency of the
compiler
and the compiler options used during generation.

the
Stall() operator is larger than 255.
----------------------------------------
02 October 2003. Summary of changes for version 20031002:
1) ACPI CA Core Subsystem:
Fixed a problem with Index Fields where the index was not
incremented for fields that require multiple writes to the
index/data registers (Fields that are wider than the data
register.)
Fixed a problem with all Field objects where a write could go
beyond the end-of-field if the field was larger than the access
granularity and therefore required multiple writes to complete
the
request. An extra write beyond the end of the field could happen
inadvertently.
Fixed a problem with Index Fields where a BUFFER_OVERFLOW error
would incorrectly be returned if the width of the Data Register
was larger than the specified field access width.
Completed fixes for LoadTable() and Unload() and verified their
operation. Implemented full support for the "DdbHandle" object
throughout the ACPI CA subsystem.
Implemented full support for the MADT and ECDT tables in the ACPI
CA header files. Even though these tables are not directly
consumed by ACPI CA, the header definitions are useful for ACPI
device drivers.
Integrated resource descriptor fixes posted to the Linux ACPI
list. This included checks for minimum descriptor length, and
support for trailing NULL strings within descriptors that have
optional string elements.
Code and Data Size: Current and previous core subsystem library
sizes are shown below. These are the code and data sizes for the
acpica.lib produced by the Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0 compiler, and
these values do not include any ACPI driver or OSPM code. The

these values will vary depending on the efficiency of the
compiler

2) iASL Compiler:
Implemented detection of non-ASCII characters within the input
source ASL file. This catches attempts to compile binary (AML)
files early in the compile, with an informative error message.
Fixed a problem where the disassembler would fault if the output
filename could not be generated or if the output file could not
be
opened.
----------------------------------------
18 September 2003. Summary of changes for version 20030918:
1) ACPI CA Core Subsystem:
Found and fixed a longstanding problem with the late execution of
the various deferred AML opcodes (such as Operation Regions,
Buffer Fields, Buffers, and Packages). If the name string
specified for the name of the new object placed the object in a
scope other than the current scope, the initialization/execution
of the opcode failed. The solution to this problem was to
implement a mechanism where the late execution of such opcodes
does not attempt to lookup/create the name a second time in an
incorrect scope. This fixes the "region size computed
incorrectly" problem.
Fixed a call to AcpiHwRegisterWrite in hwregs.c that was causing
a
Global Lock AE_BAD_PARAMETER error.
Fixed several 64-bit issues with prototypes, casting and data
types.
Removed duplicate prototype from acdisasm.h
Fixed an issue involving EC Operation Region Detach (Shaohua Li)

----------------------------------------
22 May 2003. Summary of changes for version 20030522:
1) ACPI CA Core Subsystem:
Found and fixed a reported problem where an AE_NOT_FOUND error
occurred occasionally during _BST evaluation. This turned out to
be an Owner ID allocation issue where a called method did not get
a new ID assigned to it. Eventually, (after 64k calls), the
Vendor import of ACPICA 20040220

Owner
ID UINT16 would wraparound so that the ID would be the same as
the
caller's and the called method would delete the caller's
ACPICA import from the 0619 dist.
2003-07-13 22:44:13 +00:00
namespace.
Implemented extended error reporting for control methods that are
aborted due to a run-time exception. Output includes the exact
AML instruction that caused the method abort, a dump of the
Vendor import of ACPICA 20040220
2004-02-28 20:23:30 +00:00
method
locals and arguments at the time of the abort, and a trace of all
nested control method calls.
ACPICA import from the 0619 dist.
2003-07-13 22:44:13 +00:00
Modified the interpreter to allow the creation of buffers of zero
length from the AML code. Implemented new code to ensure that no
attempt is made to actually allocate a memory buffer (of length
zero) - instead, a simple buffer object with a NULL buffer
Vendor import of ACPICA 20040220
2004-02-28 20:23:30 +00:00
pointer
and length zero is created. A warning is no longer issued when
the AML attempts to create a zero-length buffer.
ACPICA import from the 0619 dist.
2003-07-13 22:44:13 +00:00
Implemented a workaround for the "leading asterisk issue" in
_HIDs, _UIDs, and _CIDs in the AML interpreter. One leading
asterisk is automatically removed if present in any HID, UID, or
CID strings. The iASL compiler will still flag this asterisk as
an error, however.
Implemented full support for _CID methods that return a package
Vendor import of ACPICA 20040220
2004-02-28 20:23:30 +00:00
of
multiple CIDs (Compatible IDs). The AcpiGetObjectInfo()
interface
now additionally returns a device _CID list if present. This
required a change to the external interface in order to pass an
ACPI_BUFFER object as a parameter since the _CID list is of
ACPICA import from the 0619 dist.
2003-07-13 22:44:13 +00:00
variable length.
Fixed a problem with the new AE_SAME_HANDLER exception where
handler initialization code did not know about this exception.

sizes are shown below. These are the code and data sizes for the
acpica.lib produced by the Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0 compiler, and

2) Linux:
Fixed a bug in which we would reinitialize the ACPI interrupt
after it was already working, thus disabling all ACPI and the
Vendor import of ACPICA 20040220
2004-02-28 20:23:30 +00:00
IRQs

Toshiba driver update (John Belmonte)
Return only 0 or 1 for our interrupt handler status (Andrew
Morton)
3) iASL Compiler:
Fixed a reported problem where multiple (nested) ElseIf()
statements were not handled correctly by the compiler, resulting
in incorrect warnings and incorrect AML code. This was a problem
in both the ASL parser and the code generator.
4) Documentation:
Added changes to existing interfaces, new exception codes, and
Vendor import of ACPICA 20040220
2004-02-28 20:23:30 +00:00
new
text concerning reference count object management versus garbage

09 May 2003. Summary of changes for version 20030509.
1) ACPI CA Core Subsystem:
Changed the subsystem initialization sequence to hold off
installation of address space handlers until the hardware has
Vendor import of ACPICA 20040220
2004-02-28 20:23:30 +00:00
been
initialized and the system has entered ACPI mode. This is
because
the installation of space handlers can cause _REG methods to be
run. Previously, the _REG methods could potentially be run
before
ACPI mode was enabled.
ACPICA import from the 0619 dist.
2003-07-13 22:44:13 +00:00
Fixed some memory leak issues related to address space handler
Vendor import of ACPICA 20040220
2004-02-28 20:23:30 +00:00
and
notify handler installation. There were some problems with the
reference count mechanism caused by the fact that the handler
ACPICA import from the 0619 dist.
2003-07-13 22:44:13 +00:00
objects are shared across several namespace objects.
Fixed a reported problem where reference counts within the
namespace were not properly updated when named objects created by
method execution were deleted.
Fixed a reported problem where multiple SSDTs caused a deletion
issue during subsystem termination. Restructured the table data
structures to simplify the linked lists and the related code.
Fixed a problem where the table ID associated with secondary
tables (SSDTs) was not being propagated into the namespace
Vendor import of ACPICA 20040220
2004-02-28 20:23:30 +00:00
objects
created by those tables. This would only present a problem for
tables that are unloaded at run-time, however.
ACPICA import from the 0619 dist.
2003-07-13 22:44:13 +00:00
Updated AcpiOsReadable and AcpiOsWritable to use the ACPI_SIZE
type as the length parameter (instead of UINT32).
Solved a long-standing problem where an ALREADY_EXISTS error
appears on various systems. This problem could happen when there
are multiple PCI_Config operation regions under a single PCI root
bus. This doesn't happen very frequently, but there are some
systems that do this in the ASL.
Fixed a reported problem where the internal DeleteNode function
was incorrectly handling the case where a namespace node was the
first in the parent's child list, and had additional peers (not
the only child, but first in the list of children.)
Code and Data Size: Current core subsystem library sizes are
Vendor import of ACPICA 20040220
2004-02-28 20:23:30 +00:00
shown

2) Linux:
Allow ":" in OS override string (Ducrot Bruno)
Kobject fix (Greg KH)
3 iASL Compiler/Disassembler:
Fixed a problem in the generation of the C source code files (AML
is emitted in C source statements for BIOS inclusion) where the
Ascii dump that appears within a C comment at the end of each
Vendor import of ACPICA 20040220
2004-02-28 20:23:30 +00:00

could cause a compile time error if the AML sequence happens to
have an open comment or close comment sequence embedded.

the
ACPI_MOVE_* macros.

AcpiHwClearGpeBlock() where an incorrect offset was passed to the
low level hardware write routine. The offset parameter was
actually eliminated from the low level read/write routines
Vendor import of ACPICA 20040220
2004-02-28 20:23:30 +00:00
because
they had become obsolete.

----------------------------------------
28 March 2003. Summary of changes for version 20030328.
1) ACPI CA Core Subsystem:
The GPE Block Device support has been completed. New interfaces
are AcpiInstallGpeBlock and AcpiRemoveGpeBlock. The Event
interfaces (enable, disable, clear, getstatus) have been split
into separate interfaces for Fixed Events and General Purpose
Events (GPEs) in order to support GPE Block Devices properly.
Fixed a problem where the error message "Failed to acquire
semaphore" would appear during operations on the embedded
controller (EC).
Code and Data Size: Current core subsystem library sizes are

28 February 2003. Summary of changes for version 20030228.
1) ACPI CA Core Subsystem:
The GPE handling and dispatch code has been completely overhauled
in preparation for support of GPE Block Devices (ID ACPI0006).
This affects internal data structures and code only; there should
be no differences visible externally. One new file has been
added, evgpeblk.c
The FADT fields GPE0_BLK_LEN and GPE1_BLK_LEN are now the only
fields that are used to determine the GPE block lengths. The
REGISTER_BIT_WIDTH field of the X_GPEx_BLK extended address
structures are ignored. This is per the ACPI specification but
Vendor import of ACPICA 20040220
2004-02-28 20:23:30 +00:00
it
isn't very clear. The full 256 Block 0/1 GPEs are now supported
(the use of REGISTER_BIT_WIDTH limited the number of GPEs to
128).
Import of Intel ACPI 20030228 vendor distribution
2003-04-29 18:39:29 +00:00
In the SCI interrupt handler, removed the read of the PM1_CONTROL
register to look at the SCI_EN bit. On some machines, this read
causes an SMI event and greatly slows down SCI events. (This may
in fact be the cause of slow battery status response on some
systems.)
Fixed a problem where a store of a NULL string to a package
Vendor import of ACPICA 20040220
2004-02-28 20:23:30 +00:00
object
could cause the premature deletion of the object. This was seen
during execution of the battery _BIF method on some systems,
resulting in no battery data being returned.

where Local0 is not initialized. Apparently, some BIOS
programmers believe that this is a NOOP. Since this store
Vendor import of ACPICA 20040220

doesn't
do anything anyway, the new prototype behavior will ignore this
error. This is a case where we can relax the strict checking in
the interpreter in the name of compatibility.

2) Linux
The AcpiSrc Source Conversion Utility has been released with the
Linux package for the first time. This is the utility that is
used to convert the ACPI CA base source code to the Linux
version.
(Both) Handle P_BLK lengths shorter than 6 more gracefully
(Both) Move more headers to include/acpi, and delete an unused
header.
(Both) Move drivers/acpi/include directory to include/acpi
(Both) Boot functions don't use cmdline, so don't pass it around
(Both) Remove include of unused header (Adrian Bunk)
(Both) acpiphp.h includes both linux/acpi.h and acpi_bus.h. Since
the
former now also includes the latter, acpiphp.h only needs the

09 January 2003. Summary of changes for version 20030109.
1) ACPI CA Core Subsystem:
Changed the behavior of the internal Buffer-to-String conversion
function. The current ACPI specification states that the
Vendor import of ACPICA 20040220
2004-02-28 20:23:30 +00:00
contents
of the buffer are "converted to a string of two-character
hexadecimal numbers, each separated by a space". Unfortunately,
this definition is not backwards compatible with existing ACPI
1.0
implementations (although the behavior was not defined in the
ACPI
1.0 specification). The new behavior simply copies data from the
buffer to the string until a null character is found or the end
of
the buffer is reached. The new String object is always null
terminated. This problem was seen during the generation of _BIF
battery data where incorrect strings were returned for battery
type, etc. This will also require an errata to the ACPI
specification.
Import of Intel ACPI 20030228 vendor distribution
2003-04-29 18:39:29 +00:00
Renamed all instances of NATIVE_UINT and NATIVE_INT to
ACPI_NATIVE_UINT and ACPI_NATIVE_INT, respectively.
Copyright in all module headers (both Linux and non-Linux) has be
updated to 2003.
Code and Data Size: Current core subsystem library sizes are

produced by the Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0 compiler, and these
values do not include any ACPI driver or OSPM code. The debug
version of the code includes the debug output trace mechanism and
has a much larger code and data size. Note that these values
will
vary depending on the efficiency of the compiler and the compiler
options used during generation.

Several changes have been made to the source code translation
utility that generates the Linux Code in order to make the code
more "Linux-like":
All typedefs on structs and unions have been removed in keeping
with the Linux coding style.
Removed the non-Linux SourceSafe module revision number from each
module header.
Completed major overhaul of symbols to be lowercased for linux.
Doubled the number of symbols that are lowercased.
Fixed a problem where identifiers within procedure headers and
within quotes were not fully lower cased (they were left with a
starting capital.)
Some C macros whose only purpose is to allow the generation of 16-
bit code are now completely removed in the Linux code, increasing
readability and maintainability.

memory corruption.
Import of Intel ACPI 20030228 vendor distribution
2003-04-29 18:39:29 +00:00
Fixed a problem where a user buffer (passed in to the external
ACPI CA interfaces) could be overwritten if the buffer was too
small to complete the operation, causing memory corruption.
Fixed a problem in the Buffer-to-String conversion code where a
string of length one was always returned, regardless of the size
of the input Buffer object.
Removed the NATIVE_CHAR data type across the entire source due to
lack of need and lack of consistent use.

05 December 2002. Summary of changes for version 20021205.
1) ACPI CA Core Subsystem:
Fixed a problem where a store to a String or Buffer object could
cause corruption of the DSDT if the object type being stored was
the same as the target object type and the length of the object
being stored was equal to or smaller than the original (existing)
target object. This was seen to cause corruption of battery _BIF
buffers if the _BIF method modified the buffer on the fly.
Fixed a problem where an internal error was generated if a
Vendor import of ACPICA 20040220
2004-02-28 20:23:30 +00:00
control
method invocation was used in an OperationRegion, Buffer, or
Package declaration. This was caused by the deferred parsing of
the control method and thus the deferred creation of the internal
method object. The solution to this problem was to create the
internal method object at the moment the method is encountered in
the first pass - so that subsequent references to the method will
able to obtain the required parameter count and thus properly
parse the method invocation. This problem presented itself as an
AE_AML_INTERNAL during the pass 1 parse phase during table load.

2003-04-29 18:39:29 +00:00
Fixed a problem where the internal String object copy routine did
not always allocate sufficient memory for the target String
Vendor import of ACPICA 20040220
2004-02-28 20:23:30 +00:00
object
and caused memory corruption. This problem was seen to cause
"Allocation already present in list!" errors as memory allocation
became corrupted.
Import of Intel ACPI 20030228 vendor distribution
2003-04-29 18:39:29 +00:00
Implemented a new function for the evaluation of namespace
Vendor import of ACPICA 20040220
2004-02-28 20:23:30 +00:00
objects
that allows the specification of the allowable return object
types. This simplifies a lot of code that checks for a return
object of one or more specific objects returned from the
Import of Intel ACPI 20030228 vendor distribution
2003-04-29 18:39:29 +00:00
evaluation (such as _STA, etc.) This may become and external
function if it would be useful to ACPI-related drivers.
Completed another round of prefixing #defines with "ACPI_" for
clarity.
Completed additional code restructuring to allow more modular
linking for iASL compiler and AcpiExec. Several files were split
creating new files. New files: nsparse.c dsinit.c evgpe.c
Implemented an abort mechanism to terminate an executing control
method via the AML debugger. This feature is useful for

Descriptors. If specified in the ASL, the optional "Resource
Source Index" and "Resource Source" fields were not inserted into
the correct location within the AML resource descriptor, creating
an invalid descriptor.

22 November 2002. Summary of changes for version 20021122.
1) ACPI CA Core Subsystem:
Fixed a reported problem where an object stored to a Method Local
or Arg was not copied to a new object during the store - the
object pointer was simply copied to the Local/Arg. This caused
all subsequent operations on the Local/Arg to also affect the
original source of the store operation.
Fixed a problem where a store operation to a Method Local or Arg
was not completed properly if the Local/Arg contained a reference
(from RefOf) to a named field. The general-purpose store-to-
namespace-node code is now used so that this case is handled
automatically.
Fixed a problem where the internal object copy routine would
Vendor import of ACPICA 20040220
2004-02-28 20:23:30 +00:00
cause
a protection fault if the object being copied was a Package and
contained either 1) a NULL package element or 2) a nested sub-
Import of Intel ACPI 20030228 vendor distribution
2003-04-29 18:39:29 +00:00
package.
Fixed a problem with the GPE initialization that resulted from an
ambiguity in the ACPI specification. One section of the
specification states that both the address and length of the GPE
block must be zero if the block is not supported. Another
Vendor import of ACPICA 20040220
2004-02-28 20:23:30 +00:00
section
implies that only the address need be zero if the block is not
supported. The code has been changed so that both the address
and
the length must be non-zero to indicate a valid GPE block (i.e.,
if either the address or the length is zero, the GPE block is
invalid.)

from an SMBus write operation. This paves the way for the
development of SMBus drivers in each host operating system.
Fixed a problem where the semaphore WAIT_FOREVER constant was
defined as 32 bits, but must be 16 bits according to the ACPI
specification. This had the side effect of causing ASL
Mutex/Event timeouts even though the ASL code requested a wait
forever. Changed all internal references to the ACPI timeout
parameter to 16 bits to prevent future problems. Changed the

Removed code added in the previous release that inserted nodes
Import of Intel ACPI 20030228 vendor distribution
2003-04-29 18:39:29 +00:00
into the namespace in alphabetical order. This caused some side-
effects on various machines. The root cause of the problem is
still under investigation since in theory, the internal ordering
of the namespace nodes should not matter.
Enhanced error reporting for the case where a named object is not
found during control method execution. The full ACPI namepath
(name reference) of the object that was not found is displayed in
this case.
Note: as a result of the overhaul of the namespace object types
Vendor import of ACPICA 20040220
2004-02-28 20:23:30 +00:00
in
the previous release, the namespace nodes for the predefined
Import of Intel ACPI 20030228 vendor distribution
2003-04-29 18:39:29 +00:00
scopes (_TZ, _PR, etc.) are now of the type ACPI_TYPE_LOCAL_SCOPE
instead of ACPI_TYPE_ANY. This simplifies the namespace
management code but may affect code that walks the namespace tree
looking for specific object types.

22 October 2002. Summary of changes for version 20021022.
1) ACPI CA Core Subsystem:
Import of Intel ACPI 20030228 vendor distribution
2003-04-29 18:39:29 +00:00
Implemented a restriction on the Scope operator that the target
must already exist in the namespace at the time the operator is
encountered (during table load or method execution). In other
words, forward references are not allowed and Scope() cannot
create a new object. This changes the previous behavior where the
interpreter would create the name if not found. This new
Vendor import of ACPICA 20040220
2004-02-28 20:23:30 +00:00
behavior
correctly enables the search-to-root algorithm during namespace
lookup of the target name. Because of this upsearch, this fixes
the known Compaq _SB_.OKEC problem and makes both the AML
interpreter and iASL compiler compatible with other ACPI
Import of Intel ACPI 20030228 vendor distribution
2003-04-29 18:39:29 +00:00
implementations.
Completed a major overhaul of the internal ACPI object types for
the ACPI Namespace and the associated operand objects. Many of
these types had become obsolete with the introduction of the two-
pass namespace load. This cleanup simplifies the code and makes
the entire namespace load mechanism much clearer and easier to
understand.
Improved debug output for tracking scope opening/closing to help
diagnose scoping issues. The old scope name as well as the new
scope name are displayed. Also improved error messages for
problems with ASL Mutex objects and error messages for GPE
problems.

Cleaned up the namespace dump code, removed obsolete code.
Import of Intel ACPI 20030228 vendor distribution
2003-04-29 18:39:29 +00:00
All string output (for all namespace/object dumps) now uses the
common ACPI string output procedure which handles escapes

2004-02-28 20:23:30 +00:00

Fixed some issues with constants in the 64-bit version of the
local C library (utclib.c)
2) Linux
EC Driver: No longer attempts to acquire the Global Lock at
interrupt level.
3) iASL Compiler/Disassembler
Implemented ACPI 2.0B grammar change that disallows all Type 1
Vendor import of ACPICA 20040220
2004-02-28 20:23:30 +00:00

"executable" operators (versus the "namespace" operators) cannot
be used at the table level; they can only be used within a

operator is encountered (during ASL compilation). In other words,
forward references are not allowed and Scope() cannot create a

as
well as the formatted status.
Vendor import of the Intel ACPI CA 20021002 drop.
2002-10-04 20:07:58 +00:00
Completed implementation of a new design for the Alias support
within the namespace. The existing design did not handle the
Vendor import of ACPICA 20040220
2004-02-28 20:23:30 +00:00
case
where a new object was assigned to one of the two names due to
the
use of an explicit conversion operator, resulting in the two
names
pointing to two different objects. The new design simply points
the Alias name to the original name node - not to the object.
This results in a level of indirection that must be handled in
the
name resolution mechanism.

Import of Intel ACPI 20030228 vendor distribution
2003-04-29 18:39:29 +00:00

The definition of these operators includes the dereferencing of
all chained references to return information on the base object.
Vendor import of the Intel ACPI CA 20021002 drop.
2002-10-04 20:07:58 +00:00
Fixed a problem with stores to indexed package elements - the
existing code would not complete the store if an "implicit
Import of Intel ACPI 20030228 vendor distribution
2003-04-29 18:39:29 +00:00
conversion" was not performed. In other words, if the existing
object (package element) was to be replaced completely, the code
didn't handle this case.
Vendor import of the Intel ACPI CA 20021002 drop.
2002-10-04 20:07:58 +00:00
Relaxed typechecking on the ASL "Scope" operator to allow the
target name to refer to an object of type Integer, String, or
Buffer, in addition to the scoping object types (Device,
predefined Scopes, Processor, PowerResource, and ThermalZone.)
Import of Intel ACPI 20030228 vendor distribution

Blacklist improvements. Split blacklist code out into a separate
file. Move checking the blacklist to very early. Previously, we
would use ACPI tables, and then halfway through init, check the
blacklist -- too late. Now, it's early enough to completely fall-
back to non-ACPI.

3) iASL Compiler/Disassembler Version 20020829:
Implemented namepath optimization for name declarations. For
example, a declaration like "Method (\_SB_.ABCD)" would get
optimized to "Method (ABCD)" if the declaration is within the
\_SB_ scope. This optimization is in addition to the named
reference path optimization first released in the previous
Import of Intel ACPI 20030228 vendor distribution
2003-04-29 18:39:29 +00:00
version. This would seem to complete all possible optimizations

Fixed a problem with the pathname parsing for the carat (^)
Import of Intel ACPI 20030228 vendor distribution
2003-04-29 18:39:29 +00:00

2004-02-28 20:23:30 +00:00

interpreter handling of this prefix. In the case where one or
more carats precede a single nameseg, the nameseg was treated as
standalone and the search rule (to root) was inadvertently
Import of Intel ACPI 20030228 vendor distribution
2003-04-29 18:39:29 +00:00
applied. This could cause both the iASL compiler and the
interpreter to find the wrong object or to miss the error that
should occur if the object does not exist at that exact pathname.

values do not include any ACPI driver or OSPM code. The debug
version of the code includes the debug output trace mechanism and
has a larger code and data size. Note that these values will
vary

Reworked the compiler options to make them more consistent and to
use two-letter options where appropriate. We were running out of
sensible letters. This may break some makefiles, so check the
current options list by invoking the compiler with no parameters.

Completed the design and implementation of the ASL namepath
Import of Intel ACPI 20030228 vendor distribution
2003-04-29 18:39:29 +00:00
optimization option for the compiler. This option optimizes all
references to named objects to the shortest possible path. The
first attempt tries to utilize a single nameseg (4 characters)
Vendor import of ACPICA 20040220
2004-02-28 20:23:30 +00:00
and
the "search-to-root" algorithm used by the interpreter. If that
cannot be used (because either the name is not in the search path
or there is a conflict with another object with the same name),
the pathname is optimized using the carat prefix (usually a
shorter string than specifying the entire path from the root.)
Import of Intel ACPI 20030228 vendor distribution
2003-04-29 18:39:29 +00:00
Implemented support to obtain the DSDT from the Windows registry
(when the disassembly option is specified with no input file).
Added this code as the implementation for AcpiOsTableOverride in
the Windows OSL. Migrated the 16-bit code (used in the AcpiDump
utility) to scan memory for the DSDT to the AcpiOsTableOverride
function in the DOS OSL to make the disassembler truly OS
independent.
Implemented a new option to disassemble and compile in one step.
When used without an input filename, this option will grab the
DSDT from the local machine, disassemble it, and compile it in

25 July 2002. Summary of changes for this release.
1) ACPI CA Core Subsystem Version 20020725:
Import of Intel ACPI 20030228 vendor distribution
2003-04-29 18:39:29 +00:00
The AML Disassembler has been enhanced to produce compilable ASL
code and has been integrated into the iASL compiler (see below)
Vendor import of ACPICA 20040220
2004-02-28 20:23:30 +00:00
as
well as the single-step disassembly for the AML debugger and the
disassembler for the AcpiDump utility. All ACPI 2.0A opcodes,
resource templates and macros are fully supported. The
Import of Intel ACPI 20030228 vendor distribution
2003-04-29 18:39:29 +00:00
disassembler has been tested on over 30 different AML files,
producing identical AML when the resulting disassembled ASL file
is recompiled with the same ASL compiler.
Modified the Resource Manager to allow zero interrupts and zero
dma channels during the GetCurrentResources call. This was
causing problems on some platforms.
Added the AcpiOsRedirectOutput interface to the OSL to simplify
output redirection for the AcpiOsPrintf and AcpiOsVprintf
interfaces.

3) iASL compiler
Import of Intel ACPI 20030228 vendor distribution
2003-04-29 18:39:29 +00:00
The AML disassembler is integrated into the compiler. The "-d"
option invokes the disassembler to completely disassemble an
input AML file, producing as output a text ASL file with the
extension ".dsl" (to avoid name collisions with existing .asl
source files.) A future enhancement will allow the disassembler
to obtain the BIOS DSDT from the registry under Windows.
Vendor import of the Intel ACPI CA 20020815 drop.

descriptors where an invalid AML sequence was created.
Import of Intel ACPI 20030228 vendor distribution
2003-04-29 18:39:29 +00:00

inadvertently defined twice, allowing invalid syntax to pass and
causing reduction conflicts.

Import of Intel ACPI 20030228 vendor distribution
2003-04-29 18:39:29 +00:00
The Table Manager code has been restructured to add several new
features. Tables that are not required by the core subsystem
(other than the FADT, DSDT, FACS, PSDTs, etc.) are no longer
validated in any way and are returned from AcpiGetFirmwareTable

2004-02-28 20:23:30 +00:00
if
requested. The AcpiOsTableOverride interface is now called for
each table that is loaded by the subsystem in order to allow the
host to override any table it chooses. Previously, only the DSDT
could be overridden. Added one new files, tbrsdt.c and
Import of Intel ACPI 20030228 vendor distribution

to
external objects (when a package is returned from a control

Updated the ACPI utilities module to understand the new style of
fully resolved package objects that are now returned from the

11 June 2002. Summary of changes for this release.
1) ACPI CA Core Subsystem Version 20020611:
Vendor import of the Intel ACPI CA 20021002 drop.
2002-10-04 20:07:58 +00:00
Fixed a reported problem where constants such as Zero and One
Import of Intel ACPI 20030228 vendor distribution
2003-04-29 18:39:29 +00:00
appearing within _PRT packages were not handled correctly within
the resource manager code. Originally reported against the ASL
compiler because the code generator now optimizes integers to
their minimal AML representation (i.e. AML constants if
Vendor import of ACPICA 20040220
2004-02-28 20:23:30 +00:00
possible.)
The _PRT code now handles all AML constant opcodes correctly
(Zero, One, Ones, Revision).

All package sub-objects are now fully resolved before they are
Import of Intel ACPI 20030228 vendor distribution
2003-04-29 18:39:29 +00:00
returned from the external ACPI interfaces. This means that name
strings are resolved to object handles, and constant operators
(Zero, One, Ones, Revision) are resolved to Integers.
Vendor import of the Intel ACPI CA 20020815 drop.
2002-08-29 01:51:24 +00:00
Implemented immediate resolution of the AML Constant opcodes

2002-10-04 20:07:58 +00:00
(Zero, One, Ones, Revision) to Integer objects upon detection
within the AML stream. This has simplified and reduced the
generated code size of the subsystem by eliminating about 10
switch statements for these constants (which previously were
contained in Reference objects.) The complicating issues are

Fixed a problem with the Linux version of the compiler where the
source lines printed with error messages were the wrong lines.
This turned out to be the "LF versus CR/LF" difference between
Windows and Unix. This appears to be the longstanding issue
concerning listing output and error messages.

17 May 2002. Summary of changes for this release.
1) ACPI CA Core Subsystem Version 20020517:
Implemented a workaround to an BIOS bug discovered on the HP
Vendor import of the Intel ACPI CA 20021002 drop.
2002-10-04 20:07:58 +00:00
OmniBook where the FADT revision number and the table size are
inconsistent (ACPI 2.0 revision vs. ACPI 1.0 table size). The
Vendor import of ACPICA 20040220
2004-02-28 20:23:30 +00:00
new
behavior is to fallback to using only the ACPI 1.0 fields of the
FADT if the table is too small to be a ACPI 2.0 table as claimed
by the revision number. Although this is a BIOS bug, this is a
case where the workaround is simple enough and with no side
effects, so it seemed prudent to add it. A warning message is
issued, however.

Vendor import of the Intel ACPI CA 20021002 drop.
2002-10-04 20:07:58 +00:00
Implemented support for compile-time constant folding for the
Type3, Type4, and Type5 opcodes first defined in the ACPI 2.0
specification. This allows the ASL writer to use expressions
instead of Integer/Buffer/String constants in terms that must
Import of Intel ACPI 20030228 vendor distribution
2003-04-29 18:39:29 +00:00
evaluate to constants at compile time and will also simplify the
emitted AML in any such sub-expressions that can be folded
Vendor import of the Intel ACPI CA 20021002 drop.
2002-10-04 20:07:58 +00:00
(evaluated at compile-time.) This increases the size of the
compiler significantly because a portion of the ACPI CA AML
interpreter is included within the compiler in order to pre-
evaluate constant expressions.

constants and thus reduce the overall size of the generated AML
code.

Import of Intel ACPI 20030228 vendor distribution
2003-04-29 18:39:29 +00:00
The source code base for the Core Subsystem has been completely
cleaned with PC-lint (FlexLint) for both 32-bit and 64-bit
versions. The Lint option files used are included in the
/acpi/generate/lint directory.
Vendor import of the Intel ACPI CA 20020815 drop.
2002-08-29 01:51:24 +00:00
Implemented enhanced status/error checking across the entire
Import of Intel ACPI 20030228 vendor distribution
2003-04-29 18:39:29 +00:00
Hardware manager subsystem. Any hardware errors (reported from
the OSL) are now bubbled up and will abort a running control
method.

Import of Intel ACPI 20030228 vendor distribution
2003-04-29 18:39:29 +00:00
Fixed a problem where the per-ACPI-table integer width (32 or 64)
was stored only with control method nodes, causing a fault when
non-control method code was executed during table loading. The
solution implemented uses a global variable to indicate table
width across the entire ACPI subsystem. Therefore, ACPI CA does
not support mixed integer widths across different ACPI tables
(DSDT, SSDT).
Fixed a problem where NULL extended fields (X fields) in an ACPI
2.0 ACPI FADT caused the table load to fail. Although the
existing ACPI specification is a bit fuzzy on this topic, the new
behavior is to fall back on a ACPI 1.0 field if the corresponding
ACPI 2.0 X field is zero (even though the table revision
Vendor import of ACPICA 20040220
2004-02-28 20:23:30 +00:00
indicates
a full ACPI 2.0 table.) The ACPI specification will be updated
to
clarify this issue.
Vendor import of the Intel ACPI CA 20021002 drop.
2002-10-04 20:07:58 +00:00
Fixed a problem with the SystemMemory operation region handler
where memory was always accessed byte-wise even if the AML-
specified access width was larger than a byte. This caused
problems on systems with memory-mapped I/O. Memory is now
accessed with the width specified. On systems that do not

Summary of changes for this release: 03_29_02
1) ACPI CA Core Subsystem Version 20020329:
Vendor import of the Intel ACPI CA 20021002 drop.
2002-10-04 20:07:58 +00:00
Implemented support for late evaluation of TermArg operands to
Import of Intel ACPI 20030228 vendor distribution
2003-04-29 18:39:29 +00:00
Buffer and Package objects. This allows complex expressions to
Vendor import of ACPICA 20040220
2004-02-28 20:23:30 +00:00
be
used in the declarations of these object types.
Vendor import of the Intel ACPI CA 20021002 drop.
2002-10-04 20:07:58 +00:00
Fixed an ACPI 1.0 compatibility issue when reading Fields. In
Vendor import of ACPICA 20040220
2004-02-28 20:23:30 +00:00
ACPI
1.0, if the field was larger than 32 bits, it was returned as a
buffer - otherwise it was returned as an integer. In ACPI 2.0,
the field is returned as a buffer only if the field is larger
than
64 bits. The TableRevision is now considered when making this
conversion to avoid incompatibility with existing ASL code.

2002-08-29 01:51:24 +00:00
Vendor import of the Intel ACPI CA 20021002 drop.
2002-10-04 20:07:58 +00:00
Implemented logical addressing for AcpiOsGetRootPointer. This
Import of Intel ACPI 20030228 vendor distribution
2003-04-29 18:39:29 +00:00
allows an RSDP with either a logical or physical address. With
this support, the host OS can now override all ACPI tables with
one logical RSDP. Includes implementation of "typed" pointer
support to allow a common data type for both physical and logical
pointers internally. This required a change to the
AcpiOsGetRootPointer interface.
Vendor import of the Intel ACPI CA 20020815 drop.
2002-08-29 01:51:24 +00:00
Vendor import of the Intel ACPI CA 20021002 drop.
2002-10-04 20:07:58 +00:00

Vendor import of ACPICA 20040220
2004-02-28 20:23:30 +00:00
all
GPE, Fixed Event, and PM Timer I/O. This allows the use of
memory
mapped I/O for these ACPI features.

Initialization now ignores not only non-required tables (All
Import of Intel ACPI 20030228 vendor distribution
2003-04-29 18:39:29 +00:00
tables other than the FADT, FACS, DSDT, and SSDTs), but also does
not validate the table headers of unrecognized tables.
Vendor import of the Intel ACPI CA 20020815 drop.
2002-08-29 01:51:24 +00:00

Code and Data Size: Current core subsystem library sizes are
Vendor import of ACPICA 20040220
2004-02-28 20:23:30 +00:00
shown
below. These are the code and data sizes for the acpica.lib
produced by the Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0 compiler, and these
values do not include any ACPI driver or OSPM code. The debug
version of the code includes the debug output trace mechanism and
has a larger code and data size. Note that these values will
vary
depending on the efficiency of the compiler and the compiler
options used during generation.

2) Linux:
Import of Intel ACPI 20030228 vendor distribution
2003-04-29 18:39:29 +00:00
The processor driver (acpi_processor.c) now fully supports ACPI
2.0-based processor performance control (e.g. Intel(R)
SpeedStep(TM) technology) Note that older laptops that only have
the Intel "applet" interface are not supported through this. The
'limit' and 'performance' interface (/proc) are fully functional.
[Note that basic policy for controlling performance state
transitions will be included in the next version of ospmd.] The
idle handler was modified to more aggressively use C2, and PIIX4
errata handling underwent a complete overhaul (big thanks to
Dominik Brodowski).
Added support for ACPI-PCI device binding (acpi_pci_root.c). _ADR-
based devices in the ACPI namespace are now dynamically bound
(associated) with their PCI counterparts (e.g. PCI1->01:00.0).
This allows, among other things, ACPI to resolve bus numbers for
subordinate PCI bridges.

Vendor import of the Intel ACPI CA 20021002 drop.
2002-10-04 20:07:58 +00:00
Added IBM 600E to bad bios list due to invalid _ADR value for
PIIX4 PCI-ISA bridge, resulting in improper PCI IRQ routing.
Vendor import of the Intel ACPI CA 20020815 drop.

Import of Intel ACPI 20030228 vendor distribution
2003-04-29 18:39:29 +00:00
In the process of adding full MADT support (e.g. IOAPIC) for IA32
(acpi.c, mpparse.c) -- stay tuned.
Vendor import of the Intel ACPI CA 20020815 drop.
2002-08-29 01:51:24 +00:00
Added back visual differentiation between fixed-feature and
Import of Intel ACPI 20030228 vendor distribution
2003-04-29 18:39:29 +00:00
control-method buttons in dmesg. Buttons are also subtyped (e.g.
button/power/PWRF) to simplify button identification.

constants were not reported.
Vendor import of the Intel ACPI CA 20020815 drop.
2002-08-29 01:51:24 +00:00

Vendor import of ACPICA 20040220
2004-02-28 20:23:30 +00:00
field.

Import of Intel ACPI 20030228 vendor distribution
2003-04-29 18:39:29 +00:00
Fixed a problem with AML Fields where the use of the "AccessAny"
keyword could cause an interpreter error due to attempting to
Vendor import of ACPICA 20040220
2004-02-28 20:23:30 +00:00
read
or write beyond the end of the parent Operation Region.

2003-04-29 18:39:29 +00:00
Fixed a problem where the interpreter/namespace "search to root"
algorithm was not functioning for some object types. Relaxed the
internal restriction on the search to allow upsearches for all
external object types as well as most internal types.
Vendor import of the Intel ACPI CA 20020815 drop.

Vendor import of the Intel ACPI CA 20020815 drop.
2002-08-29 01:51:24 +00:00
Removed the return value for the two AcpiOsPrint interfaces,
Vendor import of ACPICA 20040220
2004-02-28 20:23:30 +00:00
since
it is never used and causes lint warnings for ignoring the return

Vendor import of the Intel ACPI CA 20021002 drop.
2002-10-04 20:07:58 +00:00
Added error checking to all internal mutex acquire and release
calls. Although a failure from one of these interfaces is
probably a fatal system error, these checks will cause the
Import of Intel ACPI 20030228 vendor distribution
2003-04-29 18:39:29 +00:00
immediate abort of the currently executing method or interface.

memory
allocation model.
Vendor import of the Intel ACPI CA 20020815 drop.
2002-08-29 01:51:24 +00:00
Fixed a couple of problems with the Global Lock support
Vendor import of ACPICA 20040220
2004-02-28 20:23:30 +00:00
introduced
in the last major build. The "common" (1.0/2.0) internal FACS
was
being overwritten with the FACS signature and clobbering the
Global Lock pointer. Also, the actual firmware FACS was being
unmapped after construction of the "common" FACS, preventing
access to the actual Global Lock field within it. The "common"
internal FACS is no longer installed as an actual ACPI table; it
is used simply as a global.
Vendor import of the Intel ACPI CA 20020815 drop.
2002-08-29 01:51:24 +00:00
Code and Data Size: Current core subsystem library sizes are

3) ASL Compiler, version X2039:
Import of Intel ACPI 20030228 vendor distribution
2003-04-29 18:39:29 +00:00
Implemented the new compiler restriction on ASL String hex/octal
escapes to non-null, ASCII values. An error results if an

2004-02-28 20:23:30 +00:00
invalid
value is used. (This will require an ACPI 2.0 specification
change.)

Summary of changes for this label: 02_01_02
1) ACPI CA Core Subsystem:
Import of Intel ACPI 20030228 vendor distribution
2003-04-29 18:39:29 +00:00
ACPI 2.0 support is complete in the entire Core Subsystem and the
ASL compiler. All new ACPI 2.0 operators are implemented and all
other changes for ACPI 2.0 support are complete. With
Vendor import of the Intel ACPI CA 20021002 drop.
2002-10-04 20:07:58 +00:00
simultaneous code and data optimizations throughout the
Vendor import of ACPICA 20040220
2004-02-28 20:23:30 +00:00
subsystem,
ACPI 2.0 support has been implemented with almost no additional
cost in terms of code and data size.
Import of Intel ACPI 20030228 vendor distribution
2003-04-29 18:39:29 +00:00
Implemented a new mechanism for allocation of return buffers. If
the buffer length is set to ACPI_ALLOCATE_BUFFER, the buffer will
be allocated on behalf of the caller. Consolidated all return
buffer validation and allocation to a common procedure. Return
buffers will be allocated via the primary OSL allocation
Vendor import of ACPICA 20040220
2004-02-28 20:23:30 +00:00
interface
since it appears that a separate pool is not needed by most
users.
If a separate pool is required for these buffers, the caller can
still use the original mechanism and pre-allocate the buffer(s).
Vendor import of the Intel ACPI CA 20020815 drop.
2002-08-29 01:51:24 +00:00
Implemented support for string operands within the DerefOf
operator.
Import of Intel ACPI 20030228 vendor distribution
2003-04-29 18:39:29 +00:00

simplifying the source code and reducing the amount of generated
code.
Vendor import of the Intel ACPI CA 20020815 drop.
2002-08-29 01:51:24 +00:00
Split the common read/write low-level ACPI register bitfield
Vendor import of the Intel ACPI CA 20021002 drop.
2002-10-04 20:07:58 +00:00

Import of Intel ACPI 20030228 vendor distribution
2003-04-29 18:39:29 +00:00
Obsoleted the AcpiOsCallocate OSL interface. This interface was
used only a handful of times and didn't have enough critical mass
for a separate interface. Replaced with a common calloc

2002-10-04 20:07:58 +00:00
Fixed a reported problem with the GPE number mapping mechanism
that allows GPE1 numbers to be non-contiguous with GPE0.
Import of Intel ACPI 20030228 vendor distribution
2003-04-29 18:39:29 +00:00
Reorganized the GPE information and shrunk a large array that was
originally large enough to hold info for all possible GPEs (256)
to simply large enough to hold all GPEs up to the largest GPE
number on the machine.
Vendor import of the Intel ACPI CA 20020815 drop.

debugger.
Removed obsolete and unnecessary GPE save/restore code.
Import of Intel ACPI 20030228 vendor distribution
2003-04-29 18:39:29 +00:00
Implemented Field support in the ASL Load operator. This allows
Vendor import of ACPICA 20040220
2004-02-28 20:23:30 +00:00
a
table to be loaded from a named field, in addition to loading a

Modified the AML debugger to give a full display of if/while
predicates instead of just one AML opcode at a time. (The
predicate can have several nested ASL statements.) The old
Vendor import of ACPICA 20040220
2004-02-28 20:23:30 +00:00

was confusing during single stepping.

3) ASL Compiler, version X2037:
Import of Intel ACPI 20030228 vendor distribution
2003-04-29 18:39:29 +00:00
Implemented several new output features to simplify integration
Vendor import of ACPICA 20040220
2004-02-28 20:23:30 +00:00
of
AML code into firmware: 1) Output the AML in C source code with
labels for each named ASL object. The original ASL source
code
is interleaved as C comments. 2) Output the AML in ASM source
code
with labels and interleaved ASL source. 3) Output the AML in
raw hex table form, in either C or ASM.

as well as the Octal and Hex escapes. Note: the insertion of a
null byte into a string literal (via the hex/octal escape) causes
the string to be immediately terminated. A warning is issued.

Summary of changes for this label: 12_05_01
1) ACPI CA Core Subsystem:
The ACPI 2.0 CopyObject operator is fully implemented. This
Vendor import of the Intel ACPI CA 20021002 drop.
2002-10-04 20:07:58 +00:00
operator creates a new copy of an object (and is also used to
bypass the "implicit conversion" mechanism of the Store
Vendor import of the Intel ACPI CA 20020815 drop.
2002-08-29 01:51:24 +00:00
operator.)
The ACPI 2.0 semantics for the SizeOf operator are fully
implemented. The change is that performing a SizeOf on a
Import of Intel ACPI 20030228 vendor distribution
2003-04-29 18:39:29 +00:00
reference object causes an automatic dereference of the object to
tha actual value before the size is evaluated. This behavior was
undefined in ACPI 1.0.
The ACPI 2.0 semantics for the Extended IRQ resource descriptor
have been implemented. The interrupt polarity and mode are now
independently set.
Fixed a problem where ASL Constants (Zero, One, Ones, Revision)
appearing in Package objects were not properly converted to
integers when the internal Package was converted to an external
object (via the AcpiEvaluateObject interface.)
Fixed a problem with the namespace object deletion mechanism for
objects created by control methods. There were two parts to this
problem: 1) Objects created during the initialization phase
Vendor import of ACPICA 20040220
2004-02-28 20:23:30 +00:00
method
parse were not being deleted, and 2) The object owner ID
mechanism
to track objects was broken.
Import of Intel ACPI 20030228 vendor distribution
2003-04-29 18:39:29 +00:00
Fixed a problem where the use of the ASL Scope operator within a
control method would result in an invalid opcode exception.
Fixed a problem introduced in the previous label where the buffer
length required for the _PRT structure was not being returned
correctly.

2003-04-29 18:39:29 +00:00
(acpi_pci.c), and unified the PRT code for IA32 and IA64. This
version supports both static and dyanmic PRT entries, but dynamic
entries are treated as if they were static (not yet
reconfigurable). Architecture- specific code to use this data is
absent on IA32 but should be available shortly.
Changed the initialization sequence to start the ACPI interpreter
(acpi_init) prior to initialization of the PCI driver (pci_init)
in init/main.c. This ordering is required to support PRT and
facilitate other (future) enhancement. A side effect is that the
ACPI bus driver and certain device drivers can no longer be
Vendor import of ACPICA 20040220

loaded
as modules.

Modified the 'make menuconfig' options to allow PCI Interrupt
Routing support to be included without the ACPI Bus and other
device drivers.

2004-02-28 20:23:30 +00:00
only
the least-significant byte of the source to the Indexed buffer
byte. Multiple writes are not performed.

operator was not recorded correctly into the field object.
Vendor import of the Intel ACPI CA 20020815 drop.
2002-08-29 01:51:24 +00:00
Fixed a problem where ASL Event objects were created in a

2003-04-29 18:39:29 +00:00
The internal object cache is now purged after table loading and
initialization to reduce the use of dynamic kernel memory -- on
the assumption that object use is greatest during the parse phase
of the entire table (versus the run-time use of individual

2002-08-29 01:51:24 +00:00
ACPI 2.0 variable-length packages are now fully operational.
Vendor import of the Intel ACPI CA 20021002 drop.
2002-10-04 20:07:58 +00:00
Code and Data Size: Code and Data optimizations have permitted
Vendor import of ACPICA 20040220
2004-02-28 20:23:30 +00:00
new
feature development with an actual reduction in the library size.
Current core subsystem library sizes are shown below. These are
the code and data sizes for the acpica.lib produced by the
Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0 compiler, and these values do not
include
any ACPI driver or OSPM code. The debug version of the code
includes the debug output trace mechanism and has a larger code
and data size. Note that these values will vary depending on the
efficiency of the compiler and the compiler options used during
generation.

2) Linux:
Import of Intel ACPI 20030228 vendor distribution
2003-04-29 18:39:29 +00:00
Enhanced the ACPI boot-time initialization code to allow the use
of Local APIC tables for processor enumeration on IA-32, and to
pave the way for a fully MPS-free boot (on SMP systems) in the
near future. This functionality replaces
arch/i386/kernel/acpitables.c, which was introduced in an earlier
2.4.15-preX release. To enable this feature you must add
"acpi_boot=on" to the kernel command line -- see the help entry
for CONFIG_ACPI_BOOT for more information. An IA-64 release is
Vendor import of ACPICA 20040220

3) ASL Compiler:
Import of Intel ACPI 20030228 vendor distribution
2003-04-29 18:39:29 +00:00
Added additional typechecking for Fields within restricted access
Operation Regions. All fields within EC and CMOS regions must be
declared with ByteAcc. All fields withing SMBus regions must be
declared with the BufferAcc access type.

Summary of changes for this label: 11_09_01
1) ACPI CA Core Subsystem:
Import of Intel ACPI 20030228 vendor distribution
2003-04-29 18:39:29 +00:00
Implemented ACPI 2.0-defined support for writes to fields with a
Buffer, String, or Integer source operand that is smaller than
Vendor import of ACPICA 20040220
2004-02-28 20:23:30 +00:00
the
target field. In these cases, the source operand is zero-extended
to fill the target field.

2002-08-29 01:51:24 +00:00
Vendor import of the Intel ACPI CA 20021002 drop.
2002-10-04 20:07:58 +00:00
Fixed a problem where a Field starting bit offset (within the
parent operation region) was calculated incorrectly if the
Vendor import of Intel ACPI-CA 20070320

Vendor import of the Intel ACPI CA 20021002 drop.
2002-10-04 20:07:58 +00:00
alignment of the field differed from the access width. This
Import of Intel ACPI 20030228 vendor distribution
2003-04-29 18:39:29 +00:00
affected CreateWordField, CreateDwordField, CreateQwordField, and
possibly other fields that use the "AccessAny" keyword.
Vendor import of the Intel ACPI CA 20020815 drop.
2002-08-29 01:51:24 +00:00
Import of Intel ACPI 20030228 vendor distribution
2003-04-29 18:39:29 +00:00
Fixed a problem introduced in the 11_02_01 release where indirect
stores through method arguments did not operate correctly.
Vendor import of the Intel ACPI CA 20020815 drop.
2002-08-29 01:51:24 +00:00
2) Linux:
Implemented boot-time ACPI table parsing support
Import of Intel ACPI 20030228 vendor distribution
2003-04-29 18:39:29 +00:00
(CONFIG_ACPI_BOOT) for IA32 and IA64 UP/SMP systems. This code
facilitates the use of ACPI tables (e.g. MADT, SRAT) rather than
legacy BIOS interfaces (e.g. MPS) for the configuration of system
processors, memory, and interrupts during setup_arch(). Note
Vendor import of ACPICA 20040220
2004-02-28 20:23:30 +00:00
that
this patch does not include the required architecture-specific
changes required to apply this information -- subsequent patches
will be posted for both IA32 and IA64 to achieve this.
Import of Intel ACPI 20030228 vendor distribution
2003-04-29 18:39:29 +00:00
Added low-level sleep support for IA32 platforms, courtesy of Pat
Mochel. This allows IA32 systems to transition to/from various
sleeping states (e.g. S1, S3), although the lack of a centralized
driver model and power-manageable drivers will prevent its
(successful) use on most systems.
Revamped the ACPI 'menuconfig' layout: created new "ACPI Support"
submenu, unified IA32 and IA64 options, added new "Boot using
Vendor import of ACPICA 20040220
2004-02-28 20:23:30 +00:00
ACPI
tables" option, etc.
Import of Intel ACPI 20030228 vendor distribution
2003-04-29 18:39:29 +00:00
Increased the default timeout for the EC driver from 1ms to 10ms
(1000 cycles of 10us) to try to address AE_TIME errors during EC
transactions.

Summary of changes for this label: 11_02_01
1) ACPI CA Core Subsystem:
ACPI 2.0 Support: Implemented ACPI 2.0 64-bit Field access
(QWordAcc keyword). All ACPI 2.0 64-bit support is now
implemented.
Import of Intel ACPI 20030228 vendor distribution
2003-04-29 18:39:29 +00:00
OSL Interfaces: Several of the OSL (AcpiOs*) interfaces required
changes to support ACPI 2.0 Qword field access. Read/Write
PciConfiguration(), Read/Write Memory(), and Read/Write Port()
Vendor import of ACPICA 20040220
2004-02-28 20:23:30 +00:00
now
accept an ACPI_INTEGER (64 bits) as the value parameter. Also,
the value parameter for the address space handler interface is
now
an ACPI_INTEGER. OSL implementations of these interfaces must
now
handle the case where the Width parameter is 64.

2002-08-29 01:51:24 +00:00
Vendor import of the Intel ACPI CA 20021002 drop.
2002-10-04 20:07:58 +00:00
Index Fields: Fixed a problem where unaligned bit assembly and
disassembly for IndexFields was not supported correctly.
Vendor import of the Intel ACPI CA 20020815 drop.
2002-08-29 01:51:24 +00:00
Index and Bank Fields: Nested Index and Bank Fields are now
Vendor import of the Intel ACPI CA 20021002 drop.
2002-10-04 20:07:58 +00:00
supported. During field access, a check is performed to ensure
Import of Intel ACPI 20030228 vendor distribution
2003-04-29 18:39:29 +00:00
that the value written to an Index or Bank register is not out of
the range of the register. The Index (or Bank) register is
written before each access to the field data. Future support will
include allowing individual IndexFields to be wider than the
DataRegister width.
Fields: Fixed a problem where the AML interpreter was incorrectly
attempting to write beyond the end of a Field/OpRegion. This was
a boundary case that occurred when a DWORD field was written to a
BYTE access OpRegion, forcing multiple writes and causing the
interpreter to write one datum too many.
Vendor import of the Intel ACPI CA 20020815 drop.
2002-08-29 01:51:24 +00:00
Fields: Fixed a problem with Field/OpRegion access where the
Import of Intel ACPI 20030228 vendor distribution
2003-04-29 18:39:29 +00:00
starting bit address of a field was incorrectly calculated if the
current access type was wider than a byte (WordAcc, DwordAcc, or
QwordAcc).

resolved during the AML table load.
Import of Intel ACPI 20030228 vendor distribution
2003-04-29 18:39:29 +00:00

interface
returned an incorrect name for the root node.

Summary of changes for this label: 10_18_01
ACPI CA Core Subsystem:
Fixed a problem with the internal object reference count
Vendor import of ACPICA 20040220
2004-02-28 20:23:30 +00:00
mechanism
that occasionally caused premature object deletion. This resolves
all of the outstanding problem reports where an object is deleted
in the middle of an interpreter evaluation. Although this
problem
only showed up in rather obscure cases, the solution to the
problem involved an adjustment of all reference counts involving
objects attached to namespace nodes.
Vendor import of the Intel ACPI CA 20020815 drop.
2002-08-29 01:51:24 +00:00
Fixed a problem with Field support in the interpreter where
Import of Intel ACPI 20030228 vendor distribution
2003-04-29 18:39:29 +00:00
writing to an aligned field whose length is an exact multiple (2
or greater) of the field access granularity would cause an
Vendor import of ACPICA 20040220
2004-02-28 20:23:30 +00:00
attempt
to write beyond the end of the field.
Vendor import of the Intel ACPI CA 20020815 drop.
2002-08-29 01:51:24 +00:00
The top level AML opcode execution functions within the
interpreter have been renamed with a more meaningful and
consistent naming convention. The modules exmonad.c and
exdyadic.c were eliminated. New modules are exoparg1.c,
exoparg2.c, exoparg3.c, and exoparg6.c.
Import of Intel ACPI 20030228 vendor distribution

Fixed a problem where the use of the ASL Revision operator

returned an error. This operator now returns the current version
of the ACPI CA core subsystem.
Fixed a problem where objects passed as control method parameters
to AcpiEvaluateObject were always deleted at method termination.
However, these objects may end up being stored into the namespace
by the called method. The object reference count mechanism was
applied to these objects instead of a force delete.
Fixed a problem where static strings or buffers (contained in the
AML code) that are declared as package elements within the ASL
code could cause a fault because the interpreter would attempt to
delete them. These objects are now marked with the "static
object" flag to prevent any attempt to delete them.
Implemented an interpreter optimization to use operands directly
from the state object instead of extracting the operands to local
variables. This reduces stack use and code size, and improves
performance.

The following ACPI 2.0 ASL operators have been implemented in the

The internal memory tracking mechanism (leak detection code) has
been upgraded to reduce the memory overhead (a separate tracking
block is no longer allocated for each memory allocation), and now
supports all of the internal object caches.
The data structures and code for the internal object caches have
been coelesced and optimized so that there is a single cache and
memory list data structure and a single group of functions that
implement generic cache management. This has reduced the code
size in both the debug and release versions of the subsystem.

replaced
by ACPI_DEBUG_PRINT. The syntax for this macro is slightly
different, because it generates a single call to an internal
function. This results in a savings of about 90 bytes per
invocation, resulting in an overall code and data savings of
about
16% in the debug version of the subsystem.

signals and notifications that must be made to the host OS. The
first such signals are intended to support the ASL Fatal and
Breakpoint operators. In the latter case, the AcpiOsBreakpoint
interface has been obsoleted.

The definition of the AcpiFormatException interface has been
Import of Intel ACPI 20030228 vendor distribution
2003-04-29 18:39:29 +00:00
changed to simplify its use. The caller no longer must supply a
buffer to the call; A pointer to a const string is now returned
directly. This allows the call to be easily used in printf
statements, etc. since the caller does not have to manage a local
buffer.

2003-04-29 18:39:29 +00:00
implemented. The ASL source operand types Integer, Buffer, and
String are freely interchangeable for most ASL operators and are
converted by the interpreter on the fly as required. Implicit
Target operand conversion (where the result is converted to the
target type before storing) is not yet implemented.

3. Bug fix for source EOF without final linefeed.
4. Debug option is split into a parse trace and a namespace
trace.
5. Namespace output option (-n) includes initial values for
integers and strings.
6. Parse-only option added for quick syntax checking.
7. Compiler checks for duplicate ACPI name declarations

2. Compiler reports time taken by each internal subsystem in the
debug output file.

The parser/interpreter integration continues in Phase 5 with the
implementation of a complete 2-pass parse (the AML is parsed
twice) for each table; This avoids the construction of a huge
parse tree and therefore reduces the amount of dynamic memory
required by the subsystem. Greater use of the parse object cache
means that performance is unaffected.

we've added support in the source code for 80 column output

Linux support has been added. In order to obtain approval to get
the ACPI CA subsystem into the Linux kernel, we've had to make
quite a few changes to the base subsystem that will affect all
users (all the changes are generic and OS- independent). The
effects of these global changes have been somewhat far reaching.
Files have been merged and/or renamed and interfaces have been
renamed. The major changes are described below.
