Import ACPICA 20100331.
2010-04-02 16:48:51 +00:00
----------------------------------------
31 March 2010. Summary of changes for version 20100331:
1) ACPI CA Core Subsystem:
Completed a major update for the GPE support in order to improve support for
shared GPEs and to simplify both host OS and ACPICA code. Added a reference
count mechanism to support shared GPEs that require multiple device drivers.
Several external interfaces have changed. One external interface has been
removed. One new external interface was added. Most of the GPE external
interfaces now use the GPE spinlock instead of the events mutex (and the
Flags parameter for many GPE interfaces has been removed.) See the updated
ACPICA Programmer Reference for details. Matthew Garrett, Bob Moore, Rafael
Wysocki. ACPICA BZ 831.
Changed:
AcpiEnableGpe, AcpiDisableGpe, AcpiClearGpe, AcpiGetGpeStatus
Removed:
AcpiSetGpeType
New:
AcpiSetGpe
Implemented write support for DataTable operation regions. These regions are
defined via the DataTableRegion() operator. Previously, only read support was
implemented. The ACPI specification allows DataTableRegions to be read/write,
however.
Implemented a new subsystem option to force a copy of the DSDT to local
memory. Optionally copy the entire DSDT to local memory (instead of simply
mapping it.) There are some (albeit very rare) BIOSs that corrupt or replace
the original DSDT, creating the need for this option. Default is FALSE, do
not copy the DSDT.
Implemented detection of a corrupted or replaced DSDT. This change adds
support to detect a DSDT that has been corrupted and/or replaced from outside
the OS (by firmware). This is typically catastrophic for the system, but has
been seen on some machines. Once this problem has been detected, the DSDT
copy option can be enabled via system configuration. Lin Ming, Bob Moore.
Fixed two problems with AcpiReallocateRootTable during the root table copy.
When copying the root table to the new allocation, the length used was
incorrect. The new size was used instead of the current table size, meaning
too much data was copied. Also, the count of available slots for ACPI tables
was not set correctly. Alexey Starikovskiy, Bob Moore.
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: 87.5K Code, 18.4K Data, 105.9K Total
Debug Version: 163.4K Code, 51.1K Data, 214.5K Total

Non-Debug Version: 87.9K Code, 18.6K Data, 106.5K Total
Debug Version: 163.5K Code, 51.3K Data, 214.8K Total
2) iASL Compiler/Disassembler and Tools:
iASL: Implement limited typechecking for values returned from predefined
control methods. The type of any returned static (unnamed) object is now
validated. For example, Return(1). ACPICA BZ 786.
iASL: Fixed a predefined name object verification regression. Fixes a problem
introduced in version 20100304. An error is incorrectly generated if a
predefined name is declared as a static named object with a value defined
using the keywords "Zero", "One", or "Ones". Lin Ming.
iASL: Added Windows 7 support for the -g option (get local ACPI tables) by
reducing the requested registry access rights. ACPICA BZ 842.
Disassembler: fixed a possible fault when generating External() statements.
Introduced in commit ae7d6fd: Properly handle externals with parent-prefix
(carat). Fixes a string length allocation calculation. Lin Ming.

----------------------------------------
04 March 2010. Summary of changes for version 20100304:
1) ACPI CA Core Subsystem:
Fixed a possible problem with the AML Mutex handling function
AcpiExReleaseMutex where the function could fault under the very rare
condition when the interpreter has blocked, the interpreter lock is released,
the interpreter is then reentered via the same thread, and attempts to
acquire an AML mutex that was previously acquired. FreeBSD report 140979. Lin
Ming.
Implemented additional configuration support for the AML "Debug Object".
Output from the debug object can now be enabled via a global variable,
AcpiGbl_EnableAmlDebugObject. This will assist with remote machine debugging.
This debug output is now available in the release version of ACPICA instead
of just the debug version. Also, the entire debug output module can now be
configured out of the ACPICA build if desired. One new file added,
executer/exdebug.c. Lin Ming, Bob Moore.
Added header support for the ACPI MCHI table (Management Controller Host
Interface Table). This table was added in ACPI 4.0, but the defining document
has only recently become available.
Standardized output of integer values for ACPICA warnings/errors. Always use
0x prefix for hex output, always use %u for unsigned integer decimal output.
Affects ACPI_INFO, ACPI_ERROR, ACPI_EXCEPTION, and ACPI_WARNING (about 400
invocations.) These invocations were converted from the original
ACPI_DEBUG_PRINT invocations and were not consistent. ACPICA BZ 835.
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: 87.5K Code, 18.4K Data, 105.9K Total
Debug Version: 163.4K Code, 51.1K Data, 214.5K Total
2) iASL Compiler/Disassembler and Tools:
iASL: Implemented typechecking support for static (non-control method)
predefined named objects that are declared with the Name() operator. For
example, the type of this object is now validated to be of type Integer:
Name(_BBN, 1). This change migrates the compiler to using the core predefined
name table instead of maintaining a local version. Added a new file,
aslpredef.c. ACPICA BZ 832.
Disassembler: Added support for the ACPI 4.0 MCHI table.

2010-01-21 20:56:18 +00:00
21 January 2010. Summary of changes for version 20100121:
1) ACPI CA Core Subsystem:
Added the 2010 copyright to all module headers and signons. This affects
virtually every file in the ACPICA core subsystem, the iASL compiler, the
tools/utilities, and the test suites.
Implemented a change to the AcpiGetDevices interface to eliminate unnecessary
invocations of the _STA method. In the case where a specific _HID is
requested, do not run _STA until a _HID match is found. This eliminates
potentially dozens of _STA calls during a search for a particular device/HID,
which in turn can improve boot times. ACPICA BZ 828. Lin Ming.
Implemented an additional repair for predefined method return values. Attempt
to repair unexpected NULL elements within returned Package objects. Create an
Integer of value zero, a NULL String, or a zero-length Buffer as appropriate.
ACPICA BZ 818. Lin Ming, Bob Moore.
Removed the obsolete ACPI_INTEGER data type. This type was introduced as the
code was migrated from ACPI 1.0 (with 32-bit AML integers) to ACPI 2.0 (with
64-bit AML integers). It is now obsolete and this change removes it from the
ACPICA code base, replaced by UINT64. The original typedef has been retained
for now for compatibility with existing device driver code. ACPICA BZ 824.
Removed the unused UINT32_STRUCT type, and the obsolete Integer64 field in
the parse tree object.
Added additional warning options for the gcc-4 generation. Updated the source
accordingly. This includes some code restructuring to eliminate unreachable
code, elimination of some gotos, elimination of unused return values, some
additional casting, and removal of redundant declarations.
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.

Import ACPICA 20091214.
2009-12-14 22:07:33 +00:00
1) ACPI CA Core Subsystem:
Enhanced automatic data type conversions for predefined name repairs. This
change expands the automatic repairs/conversions for predefined name return
values to make Integers, Strings, and Buffers fully interchangeable. Also, a
Buffer can be converted to a Package of Integers if necessary. The nsrepair.c
module was completely restructured. Lin Ming, Bob Moore.
Implemented automatic removal of null package elements during predefined name
repairs. This change will automatically remove embedded and trailing NULL
package elements from returned package objects that are defined to contain a
variable number of sub-packages. The driver is then presented with a package
with no null elements to deal with. ACPICA BZ 819.
Implemented a repair for the predefined _FDE and _GTM names. The expected
return value for both names is a Buffer of 5 DWORDs. This repair fixes two
possible problems (both seen in the field), where a package of integers is
returned, or a buffer of BYTEs is returned. With assistance from Jung-uk Kim.
Implemented additional module-level code support. This change will properly
execute module-level code that is not at the root of the namespace (under a
Device object, etc.). Now executes the code within the current scope instead
of the root. ACPICA BZ 762. Lin Ming.
Fixed possible mutex acquisition errors when running _REG methods. Fixes a
problem where mutex errors can occur when running a _REG method that is in
the same scope as a method-defined operation region or an operation region
under a module-level IF block. This type of code is rare, so the problem has
not been seen before. ACPICA BZ 826. Lin Ming, Bob Moore.
Fixed a possible memory leak during module-level code execution. An object
could be leaked for each block of executed module-level code if the
interpreter slack mode is enabled This change deletes any implicitly returned
object from the module-level code block. Lin Ming.
Removed messages for successful predefined repair(s). The repair mechanism
was considered too wordy. Now, messages are only unconditionally emitted if
the return object cannot be repaired. Existing messages for successful
repairs were converted to ACPI_DEBUG_PRINT messages for now. ACPICA BZ 827.
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: 87.0K Code, 18.0K Data, 105.0K Total
Debug Version: 163.4K Code, 50.8K Data, 214.2K Total
2) iASL Compiler/Disassembler and Tools:
iASL: Fixed a regression introduced in 20091112 where intermediate .SRC files
were no longer automatically removed at the termination of the compile.
acpiexec: Implemented the -f option to specify default region fill value.
This option specifies the value used to initialize buffers that simulate
operation regions. Default value is zero. Useful for debugging problems that
depend on a specific initial value for a region or field.

12 November 2009. Summary of changes for version 20091112:
1) ACPI CA Core Subsystem:
Implemented a post-order callback to AcpiWalkNamespace. The existing
interface only has a pre-order callback. This change adds an additional
parameter for a post-order callback which will be more useful for bus scans.
ACPICA BZ 779. Lin Ming. Updated the ACPICA Programmer Reference.
Modified the behavior of the operation region memory mapping cache for
SystemMemory. Ensure that the memory mappings created for operation regions
do not cross 4K page boundaries. Crossing a page boundary while mapping
regions can cause kernel warnings on some hosts if the pages have different
attributes. Such regions are probably BIOS bugs, and this is the workaround.
Linux BZ 14445. Lin Ming.
Implemented an automatic repair for predefined methods that must return
sorted lists. This change will repair (by sorting) packages returned by _ALR,
_PSS, and _TSS. Drivers can now assume that the packages are correctly sorted
and do not contain NULL package elements. Adds one new file,
namespace/nsrepair2.c. ACPICA BZ 784. Lin Ming, Bob Moore.
Fixed a possible fault during predefined name validation if a return Package
object contains NULL elements. Also adds a warning if a NULL element is
followed by any non-null elements. ACPICA BZ 813, 814. Future enhancement may
include repair or removal of all such NULL elements where possible.
Implemented additional module-level executable AML code support. This change
will execute module-level code that is not at the root of the namespace
(under a Device object, etc.) at table load time. Module-level executable AML
code has been illegal since ACPI 2.0. ACPICA BZ 762. Lin Ming.
Implemented a new internal function to create Integer objects. This function
simplifies miscellaneous object creation code. ACPICA BZ 823.
Reduced the severity of predefined repair messages, Warning to Info. Since
the object was successfully repaired, a warning is too severe. Reduced to an
info message for now. These messages may eventually be changed to debug-only.
ACPICA BZ 812.
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: 162.7K Code, 50.8K Data, 213.5K Total
2) iASL Compiler/Disassembler and Tools:
iASL: Implemented Switch() with While(1) so that Break works correctly. This
change correctly implements the Switch operator with a surrounding While(1)
so that the Break operator works as expected. ACPICA BZ 461. Lin Ming.
iASL: Added a message if a package initializer list is shorter than package
length. Adds a new remark for a Package() declaration if an initializer list
exists, but is shorter than the declared length of the package. Although
technically legal, this is probably a coding error and it is seen in the
field. ACPICA BZ 815. Lin Ming, Bob Moore.
iASL: Fixed a problem where the compiler could fault after the maximum number
of errors was reached (200).
acpixtract: Fixed a possible warning for pointer cast if the compiler warning
level set very high.

Fixed a problem where an Operation Region _REG method could be executed more
than once. If a custom address space handler is installed by the host before
the "initialize operation regions" phase of the ACPICA initialization, any
_REG methods for that address space could be executed twice. This change
fixes the problem. ACPICA BZ 427. Lin Ming.
Fixed a possible memory leak for the Scope() ASL operator. When the exact
invocation of "Scope(\)" is executed (change scope to root), one internal
operand object was leaked. Lin Ming.
Implemented a run-time repair for the _MAT predefined method. If the _MAT
return value is defined as a Field object in the AML, and the field
size is less than or equal to the default width of an integer (32 or 64),_MAT
can incorrectly return an Integer instead of a Buffer. ACPICA now
automatically repairs this problem. ACPICA BZ 810.
Implemented a run-time repair for the _BIF and _BIX predefined methods. The
"OEM Information" field is often incorrectly returned as an Integer with
value zero if the field is not supported by the platform. This is due to an
ambiguity in the ACPI specification. The field should always be a string.
ACPICA now automatically repairs this problem by returning a NULL string
within the returned Package. ACPICA BZ 807.
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: Fixed a problem where references to external symbols that
contained one or more parent-prefixes (carats) were not handled correctly,
possibly causing a fault. ACPICA BZ 806. Lin Ming.
Disassembler: Restructured the code so that all functions that handle
external symbols are in a single module. One new file is added,
common/dmextern.c.
AML Debugger: Added a max count argument for the Batch command (which
executes multiple predefined methods within the namespace.)
iASL: Updated the compiler documentation (User Reference.) Available at
http://www.acpica.org/documentation/. ACPICA BZ 750.
AcpiXtract: Updated for Lint and other formatting changes. Close all open
files.

1) ACPI CA Core Subsystem:
Import ACPICA 20090903
2009-09-04 01:21:44 +00:00
For Windows Vista compatibility, added the automatic execution of an _INI
method located at the namespace root (\_INI). This method is executed at
table load time. This support is in addition to the automatic execution of
\_SB._INI. Lin Ming.
Fixed a possible memory leak in the interpreter for AML package objects if
the package initializer list is longer than the defined size of the package.
This apparently can only happen if the BIOS changes the package size on the
fly (seen in a _PSS object), as ASL compilers do not allow this. The
interpreter will truncate the package to the defined size (and issue an error
message), but previously could leave the extra objects undeleted if they were
pre-created during the argument processing (such is the case if the package
consists of a number of sub-packages as in the _PSS.) ACPICA BZ 805.
Fixed a problem seen when a Buffer or String is stored to itself via ASL.
This has been reported in the field. Previously, ACPICA would zero out the
buffer/string. Now, the operation is treated as a noop. Provides Windows
compatibility. ACPICA BZ 803. Lin Ming.
Removed an extraneous error message for ASL constructs of the form
Store(LocalX,LocalX) when LocalX is uninitialized. These curious statements
are seen in many BIOSs and are once again treated as NOOPs and no error is
emitted when they are encountered. ACPICA BZ 785.
Fixed an extraneous warning message if a _DSM reserved method returns a
Package object. _DSM can return any type of object, so validation on the
return type cannot be performed. ACPICA BZ 802.
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

2) iASL Compiler/Disassembler and Tools:
iASL: Fixed a problem with the use of the Alias operator and Resource
Templates. The correct alias is now constructed and no error is emitted.
ACPICA BZ 738.
iASL: Implemented the -I option to specify additional search directories for
include files. Allows multiple additional search paths for include files.
Directories are searched in the order specified on the command line (after
the local directory is searched.) ACPICA BZ 800.
iASL: Fixed a problem where the full pathname for include files was not
emitted for warnings/errors. This caused the IDE support to not work
properly. ACPICA BZ 765.
iASL: Implemented the -@ option to specify a Windows-style response file
containing additional command line options. ACPICA BZ 801.
AcpiExec: Added support to load multiple AML files simultaneously (such as a
DSDT and multiple SSDTs). Also added support for wildcards within the AML
pathname. These features allow all machine tables to be easily loaded and
debugged together. ACPICA BZ 804.
Disassembler: Added missing support for disassembly of HEST table Error Bank
subtables.

----------------------------------------
30 July 2009. Summary of changes for version 20090730:
The ACPI 4.0 implementation for ACPICA is complete with this release.
1) ACPI CA Core Subsystem:
ACPI 4.0: Added header file support for all new and changed ACPI tables.
Completely new tables are: IBFT, IVRS, MSCT, and WAET. Tables that are new
for ACPI 4.0, but have previously been supported in ACPICA are: CPEP, BERT,
EINJ, ERST, and HEST. Other newly supported tables are: UEFI and WDAT. There
have been some ACPI 4.0 changes to other existing tables. Split the large
actbl1.h header into the existing actbl2.h header. ACPICA BZ 774.
ACPI 4.0: Implemented predefined name validation for all new names. There are
31 new names in ACPI 4.0. The predefined validation module was split into two
files. The new file is namespace/nsrepair.c. ACPICA BZ 770.
Implemented support for so-called "module-level executable code". This is
executable AML code that exists outside of any control method and is intended
to be executed at table load time. Although illegal since ACPI 2.0, this type
of code still exists and is apparently still being created. Blocks of this
code are now detected and executed as intended. Currently, the code blocks
must exist under either an If, Else, or While construct; these are the
typical cases seen in the field. ACPICA BZ 762. Lin Ming.
Implemented an automatic dynamic repair for predefined names that return
nested Package objects. This applies to predefined names that are defined to
return a variable-length Package of sub-packages. If the number of sub-
packages is one, BIOS code is occasionally seen that creates a simple single
package with no sub-packages. This code attempts to fix the problem by
wrapping a new package object around the existing package. These methods can
be repaired: _ALR, _CSD, _HPX, _MLS, _PRT, _PSS, _TRT, and _TSS. ACPICA BZ
790.
Fixed a regression introduced in 20090625 for the AcpiGetDevices interface.
The _HID/_CID matching was broken and no longer matched IDs correctly. ACPICA
BZ 793.
Fixed a problem with AcpiReset where the reset would silently fail if the
register was one of the protected I/O ports. AcpiReset now bypasses the port
validation mechanism. This may eventually be driven into the AcpiRead/Write
interfaces.
Fixed a regression related to the recent update of the AcpiRead/Write
interfaces. A sleep/suspend could fail if the optional PM2 Control register
does not exist during an attempt to write the Bus Master Arbitration bit.
(However, some hosts already delete the code that writes this bit, and the
code may in fact be obsolete at this date.) ACPICA BZ 799.
Fixed a problem where AcpiTerminate could fault if inadvertently called twice
in succession. ACPICA BZ 795.
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.

----------------------------------------
25 June 2009. Summary of changes for version 20090625:
The ACPI 4.0 Specification was released on June 16 and is available at
www.acpi.info. ACPICA implementation of ACPI 4.0 is underway and will
continue for the next few releases.
1) ACPI CA Core Subsystem:
ACPI 4.0: Implemented interpreter support for the IPMI operation region
address space. Includes support for bi-directional data buffers and an IPMI
address space handler (to be installed by an IPMI device driver.) ACPICA BZ
773. Lin Ming.
ACPI 4.0: Added changes for existing ACPI tables - FACS and SRAT. Includes
support in both the header files and the disassembler.
Completed a major update for the AcpiGetObjectInfo external interface.
Changes include:
- Support for variable, unlimited length HID, UID, and CID strings.
- Support Processor objects the same as Devices (HID,UID,CID,ADR,STA, etc.)
- Call the _SxW power methods on behalf of a device object.
- Determine if a device is a PCI root bridge.
- Change the ACPI_BUFFER parameter to ACPI_DEVICE_INFO.
These changes will require an update to all callers of this interface. See
the updated ACPICA Programmer Reference for details. One new source file has
been added - utilities/utids.c. ACPICA BZ 368, 780.
Updated the AcpiRead and AcpiWrite external interfaces to support 64-bit
transfers. The Value parameter has been extended from 32 bits to 64 bits in
order to support new ACPI 4.0 tables. These changes will require an update to
all callers of these interfaces. See the ACPICA Programmer Reference for
details. ACPICA BZ 768.
Fixed several problems with AcpiAttachData. The handler was not invoked when
the host node was deleted. The data sub-object was not automatically deleted
when the host node was deleted. The interface to the handler had an unused
parameter, this was removed. ACPICA BZ 778.
Enhanced the function that dumps ACPI table headers. All non-printable
characters in the string fields are now replaced with '?' (Signature, OemId,
OemTableId, and CompilerId.) ACPI tables with non-printable characters in
these fields are occasionally seen in the field. ACPICA BZ 788.
Fixed a problem with predefined method repair code where the code that
attempts to repair/convert an object of incorrect type is only executed on
the first time the predefined method is called. The mechanism that disables
warnings on subsequent calls was interfering with the repair mechanism.
ACPICA BZ 781.
Fixed a possible memory leak in the predefined validation/repair code when a
buffer is automatically converted to an expected string object.
Removed obsolete 16-bit files from the distribution and from the current git
tree head. ACPICA BZ 776.
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 May 2009. Summary of changes for version 20090521:
1) ACPI CA Core Subsystem:
Disabled the preservation of the SCI enable bit in the PM1 control register.
The SCI enable bit (bit 0, SCI_EN) is defined by the ACPI specification to be
a "preserved" bit - "OSPM always preserves this bit position", section
4.7.3.2.1. However, some machines fail if this bit is in fact preserved
because the bit needs to be explicitly set by the OS as a workaround. No
machines fail if the bit is not preserved. Therefore, ACPICA no longer
attempts to preserve this bit.
Fixed a problem in AcpiRsGetPciRoutingTableLength where an invalid or
incorrectly formed _PRT package could cause a fault. Added validation to
ensure that each package element is actually a sub-package.
Implemented a new interface to install or override a single control method,
AcpiInstallMethod. This interface is useful when debugging in order to repair
an existing method or to install a missing method without having to override
the entire ACPI table. See the ACPICA Programmer Reference for use and
examples. Lin Ming, Bob Moore.
Fixed several reference count issues with the DdbHandle object that is
created from a Load or LoadTable operator. Prevent premature deletion of the
object. Also, mark the object as invalid once the table has been unloaded.
This is needed because the handle itself may not be deleted after the table
unload, depending on whether it has been stored in a named object by the
caller. Lin Ming.
Fixed a problem with Mutex Sync Levels. Fixed a problem where if multiple
mutexes of the same sync level are acquired but then not released in strict
opposite order, the internally maintained Current Sync Level becomes confused
and can cause subsequent execution errors. ACPICA BZ 471.
Changed the allowable release order for ASL mutex objects. The ACPI 4.0
specification has been changed to make the SyncLevel for mutex objects more
useful. When releasing a mutex, the SyncLevel of the mutex must now be the
same as the current sync level. This makes more sense than the previous rule
(SyncLevel less than or equal). This change updates the code to match the
specification.
Fixed a problem with the local version of the AcpiOsPurgeCache function. The
(local) cache must be locked during all cache object deletions. Andrew
Baumann.
Updated the Load operator to use operation region interfaces. This replaces
direct memory mapping with region access calls. Now, all region accesses go
through the installed region handler as they should.
Simplified and optimized the NsGetNextNode function. Reduced parameter count
and reduced code for this frequently used function.
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: Fixed some issues with DMAR, HEST, MADT tables. Some problems
with sub-table disassembly and handling invalid sub-tables. Attempt recovery
after an invalid sub-table ID.
----------------------------------------
22 April 2009. Summary of changes for version 20090422:
1) ACPI CA Core Subsystem:
Fixed a compatibility issue with the recently released I/O port protection
mechanism. For windows compatibility, 1) On a port protection violation,
simply ignore the request and do not return an exception (allow the control
method to continue execution.) 2) If only part of the request overlaps a
protected port, read/write the individual ports that are not protected. Linux
BZ 13036. Lin Ming
Enhanced the execution of the ASL/AML BreakPoint operator so that it actually
breaks into the AML debugger if the debugger is present. This matches the
ACPI-defined behavior.
Fixed several possible warnings related to the use of the configurable
ACPI_THREAD_ID. This type can now be configured as either an integer or a
pointer with no warnings. Also fixes several warnings in printf-like
statements for the 64-bit build when the type is configured as a pointer.
ACPICA BZ 766, 767.
Fixed a number of possible warnings when compiling with gcc 4+ (depending on
warning options.) Examples include printf formats, aliasing, unused globals,
missing prototypes, missing switch default statements, use of non-ANSI
library functions, use of non-ANSI constructs. See generate/unix/Makefile for
a list of warning options used with gcc 3 and 4. ACPICA BZ 735.
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: 82.8K Code, 17.5K Data, 100.3K Total
Debug Version: 158.0K Code, 49.9K Data, 207.9K Total
2) iASL Compiler/Disassembler and Tools:
iASL: Fixed a generation warning from Bison 2.3 and fixed several warnings on
the 64-bit build.
iASL: Fixed a problem where the Unix/Linux versions of the compiler could not
correctly digest Windows/DOS formatted files (with CR/LF).
iASL: Added a new option for "quiet mode" (-va) that produces only the
compilation summary, not individual errors and warnings. Useful for large
batch compilations.
AcpiExec: Implemented a new option (-z) to enable a forced semaphore/mutex
timeout that can be used to detect hang conditions during execution of AML
code (includes both internal semaphores and AML-defined mutexes and events.)
Added new makefiles for the generation of acpica in a generic unix-like
environment. These makefiles are intended to generate the acpica tools and
utilities from the original acpica git source tree structure.
Test Suites: Updated and cleaned up the documentation files. Updated the
copyrights to 2009, affecting all source files. Use the new version of iASL
with quiet mode. Increased the number of available semaphores in the Windows
OSL, allowing the aslts to execute fully on Windows. For the Unix OSL, added
an alternate implementation of the semaphore timeout to allow aslts to
execute fully on Cygwin.
----------------------------------------
20 March 2009. Summary of changes for version 20090320:
1) ACPI CA Core Subsystem:
Fixed a possible race condition between AcpiWalkNamespace and dynamic table
unloads. Added a reader/writer locking mechanism to allow multiple concurrent
namespace walks (readers), but block a dynamic table unload until it can gain
exclusive write access to the namespace. This fixes a problem where a table
unload could (possibly catastrophically) delete the portion of the namespace
that is currently being examined by a walk. Adds a new file, utlock.c, that
implements the reader/writer lock mechanism. ACPICA BZ 749.
Fixed a regression introduced in version 20090220 where a change to the FADT
handling could cause the ACPICA subsystem to access non-existent I/O ports.
Modified the handling of FADT register and table (FACS/DSDT) addresses. The
FADT can contain both 32-bit and 64-bit versions of these addresses.
Previously, the 64-bit versions were favored, meaning that if both 32 and 64
versions were valid, but not equal, the 64-bit version was used. This was
found to cause some machines to fail. Now, in this case, the 32-bit version
is used instead. This now matches the Windows behavior.
Implemented a new mechanism to protect certain I/O ports. Provides Microsoft
compatibility and protects the standard PC I/O ports from access via AML
code. Adds a new file, hwvalid.c
Fixed a possible extraneous warning message from the FADT support. The
message warns of a 32/64 length mismatch between the legacy and GAS
definitions for a register.
Removed the obsolete AcpiOsValidateAddress OSL interface. This interface is
made obsolete by the port protection mechanism above. It was previously used
to validate the entire address range of an operation region, which could be
incorrect if the range included illegal ports, but fields within the
operation region did not actually access those ports. Validation is now
performed on a per-field basis instead of the entire region.
Modified the handling of the PM1 Status Register ignored bit (bit 11.)
Ignored bits must be "preserved" according to the ACPI spec. Usually, this
means a read/modify/write when writing to the register. However, for status
registers, writing a one means clear the event. Writing a zero means preserve
the event (do not clear.) This behavior is clarified in the ACPI 4.0 spec,
and the ACPICA code now simply always writes a zero to the ignored bit.
Modified the handling of ignored bits for the PM1 A/B Control Registers. As
per the ACPI specification, for the control registers, preserve
(read/modify/write) all bits that are defined as either reserved or ignored.
Updated the handling of write-only bits in the PM1 A/B Control Registers.
When reading the register, zero the write-only bits as per the ACPI spec.
ACPICA BZ 443. Lin Ming.
Removed "Linux" from the list of supported _OSI strings. Linux no longer
wants to reply true to this request. The Windows strings are the only paths
through the AML that are tested and known to work properly.

2) iASL Compiler/Disassembler and Tools:
Acpiexec: Split the large aeexec.c file into two new files, aehandlers.c and
aetables.c
----------------------------------------
20 February 2009. Summary of changes for version 20090220:
1) ACPI CA Core Subsystem:
Optimized the ACPI register locking. Removed locking for reads from the ACPI
bit registers in PM1 Status, Enable, Control, and PM2 Control. The lock is
not required when reading the single-bit registers. The
AcpiGetRegisterUnlocked function is no longer needed and has been removed.
This will improve performance for reads on these registers. ACPICA BZ 760.
Fixed the parameter validation for AcpiRead/Write. Now return
AE_BAD_PARAMETER if the input register pointer is null, and AE_BAD_ADDRESS if
the register has an address of zero. Previously, these cases simply returned
AE_OK. For optional registers such as PM1B status/enable/control, the caller
should check for a valid register address before calling. ACPICA BZ 748.
Renamed the external ACPI bit register access functions. Renamed
AcpiGetRegister and AcpiSetRegister to clarify the purpose of these
functions. The new names are AcpiReadBitRegister and AcpiWriteBitRegister.
Also, restructured the code for these functions by simplifying the code path
and condensing duplicate code to reduce code size.
Added new functions to transparently handle the possibly split PM1 A/B
registers. AcpiHwReadMultiple and AcpiHwWriteMultiple. These two functions
now handle the split registers for PM1 Status, Enable, and Control. ACPICA BZ
746.
Added a function to handle the PM1 control registers, AcpiHwWritePm1Control.
This function writes both of the PM1 control registers (A/B). These registers
are different than the PM1 A/B status and enable registers in that different
values can be written to the A/B registers. Most notably, the SLP_TYP bits
can be different, as per the values returned from the _Sx predefined methods.
Removed an extra register write within AcpiHwClearAcpiStatus. This function
was writing an optional PM1B status register twice. The existing call to the
low-level AcpiHwRegisterWrite automatically handles a possibly split PM1 A/B
register. ACPICA BZ 751.
Split out the PM1 Status registers from the FADT. Added new globals for these
registers (A/B), similar to the way the PM1 Enable registers are handled.
Instead of overloading the FADT Event Register blocks. This makes the code
clearer and less prone to error.
Fixed the warning message for when the platform contains too many ACPI tables
for the default size of the global root table data structure. The calculation
for the truncation value was incorrect.
Removed the ACPI_GET_OBJECT_TYPE macro. Removed all instances of this
obsolete macro, since it is now a simple reference to ->common.type. There
were about 150 invocations of the macro across 41 files. ACPICA BZ 755.
Removed the redundant ACPI_BITREG_SLEEP_TYPE_B. This type is the same as
TYPE_A. Removed this and all related instances. Renamed SLEEP_TYPE_A to
simply SLEEP_TYPE. ACPICA BZ 754.
Conditionally compile the AcpiSetFirmwareWakingVector64 function. This
function is only needed on 64-bit host operating systems and is thus not
included for 32-bit hosts.
Debug output: print the input and result for invocations of the _OSI reserved
control method via the ACPI_LV_INFO debug level. Also, reduced some of the
verbosity of this debug level. Len Brown.
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.

various legal performance profiles.
----------------------------------------
23 January 2009. Summary of changes for version 20090123:
1) ACPI CA Core Subsystem:
Added the 2009 copyright to all module headers and signons. This affects
virtually every file in the ACPICA core subsystem, the iASL compiler, and
the tools/utilities.
Implemented a change to allow the host to override any ACPI table, including
dynamically loaded tables. Previously, only the DSDT could be replaced by the
host. With this change, the AcpiOsTableOverride interface is called for each
table found in the RSDT/XSDT during ACPICA initialization, and also whenever
a table is dynamically loaded via the AML Load operator.
Updated FADT flag definitions, especially the Boot Architecture flags.
Debugger: For the Find command, automatically pad the input ACPI name with
underscores if the name is shorter than 4 characters. This enables a match
with the actual namespace entry which is itself padded with underscores.
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:
Fix build error under Bison-2.4.
Dissasembler: Enhanced FADT support. Added decoding of the Boot Architecture
flags. Now decode all flags, regardless of the FADT version. Flag output
includes the FADT version which first defined each flag.
The iASL -g option now dumps the RSDT to a file (in addition to the FADT and
DSDT). Windows only.
----------------------------------------
04 December 2008. Summary of changes for version 20081204:
1) ACPI CA Core Subsystem:
The ACPICA Programmer Reference has been completely updated and revamped for
this release. This includes updates to the external interfaces, OSL
interfaces, the overview sections, and the debugger reference.
Several new ACPICA interfaces have been implemented and documented in the
programmer reference:
AcpiReset - Writes the reset value to the FADT-defined reset register.
AcpiDisableAllGpes - Disable all available GPEs.
AcpiEnableAllRuntimeGpes - Enable all available runtime GPEs.
AcpiGetGpeDevice - Get the GPE block device associated with a GPE.
AcpiGbl_CurrentGpeCount - Tracks the current number of available GPEs.
AcpiRead - Low-level read ACPI register (was HwLowLevelRead.)
AcpiWrite - Low-level write ACPI register (was HwLowLevelWrite.)
Most of the public ACPI hardware-related interfaces have been moved to a new
file, components/hardware/hwxface.c
Enhanced the FADT parsing and low-level ACPI register access: The ACPI
register lengths within the FADT are now used, and the low level ACPI
register access no longer hardcodes the ACPI register lengths. Given that
there may be some risk in actually trusting the FADT register lengths, a run-
time option was added to fall back to the default hardcoded lengths if the
FADT proves to contain incorrect values - UseDefaultRegisterWidths. This
option is set to true for now, and a warning is issued if a suspicious FADT
register length is overridden with the default value.
Fixed a reference count issue in NsRepairObject. This problem was introduced
in version 20081031 as part of a fix to repair Buffer objects within
Packages. Lin Ming.
Added semaphore support to the Linux/Unix application OS-services layer
(OSL). ACPICA BZ 448. Lin Ming.
Added the ACPI_MUTEX_TYPE configuration option to select whether mutexes will
be implemented in the OSL, or will binary semaphores be used instead.
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:
iASL: Completed the '-e' option to include additional ACPI tables in order to
aid with disassembly and External statement generation. ACPICA BZ 742. Lin
Ming.
iASL: Removed the "named object in while loop" error. The compiler cannot
determine how many times a loop will execute. ACPICA BZ 730.
Disassembler: Implemented support for FADT revision 2 (MS extension). ACPICA
BZ 743.
Disassembler: Updates for several ACPI data tables (HEST, EINJ, and MCFG).
----------------------------------------
31 October 2008. Summary of changes for version 20081031:
1) ACPI CA Core Subsystem:
Restructured the ACPICA header files into public/private. acpi.h now includes
only the "public" acpica headers. All other acpica headers are "private" and
should not be included by acpica users. One new file, accommon.h is used to
include the commonly used private headers for acpica code generation. Future
plans include moving all private headers to a new subdirectory.
Implemented an automatic Buffer->String return value conversion for
predefined ACPI methods. For these methods (such as _BIF), added automatic
conversion for return objects that are required to be a String, but a Buffer
was found instead. This can happen when reading string battery data from an
operation region, because it used to be difficult to convert the data from
buffer to string from within the ASL. Ensures that the host OS is provided
with a valid null-terminated string. Linux BZ 11822.
Updated the FACS waking vector interfaces. Split AcpiSetFirmwareWakingVector
into two: one for the 32-bit vector, another for the 64-bit vector. This is
required because the host OS must setup the wake much differently for each
vector (real vs. protected mode, etc.) and the interface itself should not be
deciding which vector to use. Also, eliminated the GetFirmwareWakingVector
interface, as it served no purpose (only the firmware reads the vector, OS
only writes the vector.) ACPICA BZ 731.
Implemented a mechanism to escape infinite AML While() loops. Added a loop
counter to force exit from AML While loops if the count becomes too large.
This can occur in poorly written AML when the hardware does not respond
within a while loop and the loop does not implement a timeout. The maximum
loop count is configurable. A new exception code is returned when a loop is
broken, AE_AML_INFINITE_LOOP. Alexey Starikovskiy, Bob Moore.
Optimized the execution of AML While loops. Previously, a control state
object was allocated and freed for each execution of the loop. The
optimization is to simply reuse the control state for each iteration. This
speeds up the raw loop execution time by about 5%.
Enhanced the implicit return mechanism. For Windows compatibility, return an
implicit integer of value zero for methods that contain no executable code.
Such methods are seen in the field as stubs (presumably), and can cause
drivers to fail if they expect a return value. Lin Ming.
Allow multiple backslashes as root prefixes in namepaths. In a fully
qualified namepath, allow multiple backslash prefixes. This can happen (and
is seen in the field) because of the use of a double-backslash in strings
(since backslash is the escape character) causing confusion. ACPICA BZ 739
Lin Ming.
Emit a warning if two different FACS or DSDT tables are discovered in the
FADT. Checks if there are two valid but different addresses for the FACS and
DSDT within the FADT (mismatch between the 32-bit and 64-bit fields.)
Consolidated the method argument count validation code. Merged the code that
validates control method argument counts into the predefined validation
module. Eliminates possible multiple warnings for incorrect argument counts.
Implemented ACPICA example code. Includes code for ACPICA initialization,
handler installation, and calling a control method. Available at
source/tools/examples.
Added a global pointer for FACS table to simplify internal FACS access. Use
the global pointer instead of using AcpiGetTableByIndex for each FACS access.
This simplifies the code for the Global Lock and the Firmware Waking
Vector(s).
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: 81.7K Code, 17.3K Data, 99.0K Total
Debug Version: 156.4K Code, 49.4K Data, 205.8K Total
2) iASL Compiler/Disassembler and Tools:
iASL: Improved disassembly of external method calls. Added the -e option to
allow the inclusion of additional ACPI tables to help with the disassembly of
method invocations and the generation of external declarations during the
disassembly. Certain external method invocations cannot be disassembled
properly without the actual declaration of the method. Use the -e option to
include the table where the external method(s) are actually declared. Most
useful for disassembling SSDTs that make method calls back to the master
DSDT. Lin Ming. Example: To disassemble an SSDT with calls to DSDT: iasl -d
-e dsdt.aml ssdt1.aml
iASL: Fix to allow references to aliases within ASL namepaths. Fixes a
problem where the use of an alias within a namepath would result in a not
found error or cause the compiler to fault. Also now allows forward
references from the Alias operator itself. ACPICA BZ 738.
----------------------------------------
26 September 2008. Summary of changes for version 20080926:
1) ACPI CA Core Subsystem:
Designed and implemented a mechanism to validate predefined ACPI methods and
objects. This code validates the predefined ACPI objects (objects whose names
start with underscore) that appear in the namespace, at the time they are
evaluated. The argument count and the type of the returned object are
validated against the ACPI specification. The purpose of this validation is
to detect problems with the BIOS-implemented predefined ACPI objects before
the results are returned to the ACPI-related drivers. Future enhancements may
include actual repair of incorrect return objects where possible. Two new
files are nspredef.c and acpredef.h.
Fixed a fault in the AML parser if a memory allocation fails during the Op
completion routine AcpiPsCompleteThisOp. Lin Ming. ACPICA BZ 492.
Fixed an issue with implicit return compatibility. This change improves the
implicit return mechanism to be more compatible with the MS interpreter. Lin
Ming, ACPICA BZ 349.
Implemented support for zero-length buffer-to-string conversions. Allow zero
length strings during interpreter buffer-to-string conversions. For example,
during the ToDecimalString and ToHexString operators, as well as implicit
conversions. Fiodor Suietov, ACPICA BZ 585.
Fixed two possible memory leaks in the error exit paths of
AcpiUtUpdateObjectReference and AcpiUtWalkPackageTree. These functions are
similar in that they use a stack of state objects in order to eliminate
recursion. The stack must be fully unwound and deallocated if an error
occurs. Lin Ming. ACPICA BZ 383.
Removed the unused ACPI_BITREG_WAKE_ENABLE definition and entry in the global
ACPI register table. This bit does not exist and is unused. Lin Ming, Bob
Moore ACPICA BZ 442.
Removed the obsolete version number in module headers. Removed the
"$Revision" number that appeared in each module header. This version number
was useful under SourceSafe and CVS, but has no meaning under git. It is not
only incorrect, it could also be misleading.
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.

----------------------------------------
29 August 2008. Summary of changes for version 20080829:
1) ACPI CA Core Subsystem:
Completed a major cleanup of the internal ACPI_OPERAND_OBJECT of type
Reference. Changes include the elimination of cheating on the Object field
for the DdbHandle subtype, addition of a reference class field to
differentiate the various reference types (instead of an AML opcode), and the
cleanup of debug output for this object. Lin Ming, Bob Moore. BZ 723
Reduce an error to a warning for an incorrect method argument count.
Previously aborted with an error if too few arguments were passed to a
control method via the external ACPICA interface. Now issue a warning instead
and continue. Handles the case where the method inadvertently declares too
many arguments, but does not actually use the extra ones. Applies mainly to
the predefined methods. Lin Ming. Linux BZ 11032.
Disallow the evaluation of named object types with no intrinsic value. Return
AE_TYPE for objects that have no value and therefore evaluation is undefined:
Device, Event, Mutex, Region, Thermal, and Scope. Previously, evaluation of
these types were allowed, but an exception would be generated at some point
during the evaluation. Now, the error is generated up front.
Fixed a possible memory leak in the AcpiNsGetExternalPathname function
(nsnames.c). Fixes a leak in the error exit path.
Removed the obsolete debug levels ACPI_DB_WARN and ACPI_DB_ERROR. These debug
levels were made obsolete by the ACPI_WARNING, ACPI_ERROR, and ACPI_EXCEPTION
interfaces. Also added ACPI_DB_EVENTS to correspond with the existing
ACPI_LV_EVENTS.
Removed obsolete and/or unused exception codes from the acexcep.h header.
There is the possibility that certain device drivers may be affected if they
use any of these exceptions.
The ACPICA documentation has been added to the public git source tree, under
acpica/documents. Included are the ACPICA programmer reference, the iASL
compiler reference, and the changes.txt release logfile.
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:
Allow multiple argument counts for the predefined _SCP method. ACPI 3.0
defines _SCP with 3 arguments. Previous versions defined it with only 1
argument. iASL now allows both definitions.
iASL/disassembler: avoid infinite loop on bad ACPI tables. Check for zero-
length subtables when disassembling ACPI tables. Also fixed a couple of
errors where a full 16-bit table type field was not extracted from the input
properly.
acpisrc: Improve comment counting mechanism for generating source code
statistics. Count first and last lines of multi-line comments as whitespace,
not comment lines. Handle Linux legal header in addition to standard acpica
header.
----------------------------------------
29 July 2008. Summary of changes for version 20080729:
1) ACPI CA Core Subsystem:
Fix a possible deadlock in the GPE dispatch. Remove call to
AcpiHwDisableAllGpes during wake in AcpiEvGpeDispatch. This call will attempt
to acquire the GPE lock but can deadlock since the GPE lock is already held
at dispatch time. This code was introduced in version 20060831 as a response
to Linux BZ 6881 and has since been removed from Linux.
Add a function to dereference returned reference objects. Examines the return
object from a call to AcpiEvaluateObject. Any Index or RefOf references are
automatically dereferenced in an attempt to return something useful (these
reference types cannot be converted into an external ACPI_OBJECT.) Provides
MS compatibility. Lin Ming, Bob Moore. Linux BZ 11105
x2APIC support: changes for MADT and SRAT ACPI tables. There are 2 new
subtables for the MADT and one new subtable for the SRAT. Includes
disassembler and AcpiSrc support. Data from the Intel 64 Architecture x2APIC
Specification, June 2008.
Additional error checking for pathname utilities. Add error check after all
calls to AcpiNsGetPathnameLength. Add status return from
AcpiNsBuildExternalPath and check after all calls. Add parameter validation
to AcpiUtInitializeBuffer. Reported by and initial patch by Ingo Molnar.
Return status from the global init function AcpiUtGlobalInitialize. This is
used by both the kernel subsystem and the utilities such as iASL compiler.
The function could possibly fail when the caches are initialized. Yang Yi.
Add a function to decode reference object types to strings. Created for
improved error messages.
Improve object conversion error messages. Better error messages during object
conversion from internal to the external ACPI_OBJECT. Used for external calls
to AcpiEvaluateObject.
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: 153.5K Code, 48.2K Data, 201.7K Total
Current Release:
Non-Debug Version: 79.7K Code, 16.4K Data, 96.1K Total
Debug Version: 153.9K Code, 48.4K Data, 202.3K Total
2) iASL Compiler/Disassembler and Tools:
Debugger: fix a possible hang when evaluating non-methods. Fixes a problem
introduced in version 20080701. If the object being evaluated (via execute
command) is not a method, the debugger can hang while trying to obtain non-
existent parameters.
iASL: relax error for using reserved "_T_x" identifiers. These names can
appear in a disassembled ASL file if they were emitted by the original
compiler. Instead of issuing an error or warning and forcing the user to
manually change these names, issue a remark instead.
iASL: error if named object created in while loop. Emit an error if any named
object is created within a While loop. If allowed, this code will generate a
run-time error on the second iteration of the loop when an attempt is made to
create the same named object twice. ACPICA bugzilla 730.
iASL: Support absolute pathnames for include files. Add support for absolute
pathnames within the Include operator. previously, only relative pathnames
were supported.
iASL: Enforce minimum 1 interrupt in interrupt macro and Resource Descriptor.
The ACPI spec requires one interrupt minimum. BZ 423
iASL: Handle a missing ResourceSource arg, with a present SourceIndex.
Handles the case for the Interrupt Resource Descriptor where
the ResourceSource argument is omitted but ResourceSourceIndex
is present. Now leave room for the Index. BZ 426
iASL: Prevent error message if CondRefOf target does not exist. Fixes cases
where an error message is emitted if the target does not exist. BZ 516
iASL: Fix broken -g option (get Windows ACPI tables). Fixes the -g option
(get ACPI tables on Windows). This was apparently broken in version 20070919.
AcpiXtract: Handle EOF while extracting data. Correctly handle the case where
the EOF happens immediately after the last table in the input file. Print
completion message. Previously, no message was displayed in this case.
----------------------------------------
01 July 2008. Summary of changes for version 20080701:
0) Git source tree / acpica.org
Fixed a problem where a git-clone from http would not transfer the entire
source tree.
1) ACPI CA Core Subsystem:
Implemented a "careful" GPE disable in AcpiEvDisableGpe, only modify one
enable bit. Now performs a read-change-write of the enable register instead
of simply writing out the cached enable mask. This will prevent inadvertent
enabling of GPEs if a rogue GPE is received during initialization (before GPE
handlers are installed.)
Implemented a copy for dynamically loaded tables. Previously, dynamically
loaded tables were simply mapped - but on some machines this memory is
corrupted after suspend. Now copy the table to a local buffer. For the
OpRegion case, added checksum verify. Use the table length from the table
header, not the region length. For the Buffer case, use the table length
also. Dennis Noordsij, Bob Moore. BZ 10734
Fixed a problem where the same ACPI table could not be dynamically loaded and
unloaded more than once. Without this change, a table cannot be loaded again
once it has been loaded/unloaded one time. The current mechanism does not
unregister a table upon an unload. During a load, if the same table is found,
this no longer returns an exception. BZ 722
Fixed a problem where the wrong descriptor length was calculated for the
EndTag descriptor in 64-bit mode. The "minimal" descriptors such as EndTag
are calculated as 12 bytes long, but the actual length in the internal
descriptor is 16 because of the round-up to 8 on the 64-bit build. Reported
by Linn Crosetto. BZ 728
Fixed a possible memory leak in the Unload operator. The DdbHandle returned
by Load() did not have its reference count decremented during unload, leading
to a memory leak. Lin Ming. BZ 727
Fixed a possible memory leak when deleting thermal/processor objects. Any
associated notify handlers (and objects) were not being deleted. Fiodor
Suietov. BZ 506
Fixed the ordering of the ASCII names in the global mutex table to match the
actual mutex IDs. Used by AcpiUtGetMutexName, a function used for debug only.
Vegard Nossum. BZ 726
Enhanced the AcpiGetObjectInfo interface to return the number of required
arguments if the object is a control method. Added this call to the debugger
so the proper number of default arguments are passed to a method. This
prevents a warning when executing methods from AcpiExec.
Added a check for an invalid handle in AcpiGetObjectInfo. Return
AE_BAD_PARAMETER if input handle is invalid. BZ 474
Fixed an extraneous warning from exconfig.c on the 64-bit build.
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: 79.6K Code, 16.2K Data, 95.8K Total
Debug Version: 153.5K Code, 48.2K Data, 201.7K Total
2) iASL Compiler/Disassembler and Tools:
iASL: Added two missing ACPI reserved names. Added _MTP and _ASZ, both
resource descriptor names.
iASL: Detect invalid ASCII characters in input (windows version). Removed the
"-CF" flag from the flex compile, enables correct detection of non-ASCII
characters in the input. BZ 441
iASL: Eliminate warning when result of LoadTable is not used. Eliminate the
"result of operation not used" warning when the DDB handle returned from
LoadTable is not used. The warning is not needed. BZ 590
AcpiExec: Add support for dynamic table load/unload. Now calls _CFG method to
pass address of table to the AML. Added option to disable OpRegion simulation
to allow creation of an OpRegion with a real address that was passed to _CFG.
All of this allows testing of the Load and Unload operators from AcpiExec.
Debugger: update tables command for unloaded tables. Handle unloaded tables
and use the standard table header output routine.
----------------------------------------
09 June 2008. Summary of changes for version 20080609:
1) ACPI CA Core Subsystem:
Implemented a workaround for reversed _PRT entries. A significant number of
BIOSs erroneously reverse the _PRT SourceName and the SourceIndex. This
change dynamically detects and repairs this problem. Provides compatibility
with MS ACPI. BZ 6859
Simplified the internal ACPI hardware interfaces to eliminate the locking
flag parameter from Register Read/Write. Added a new external interface,
AcpiGetRegisterUnlocked.
Fixed a problem where the invocation of a GPE control method could hang. This
was a regression introduced in 20080514. The new method argument count
validation mechanism can enter an infinite loop when a GPE method is
dispatched. Problem fixed by removing the obsolete code that passed GPE block
information to the notify handler via the control method parameter pointer.
Fixed a problem where the _SST execution status was incorrectly returned to
the caller of AcpiEnterSleepStatePrep. This was a regression introduced in
20080514. _SST is optional and a NOT_FOUND exception should never be
returned. BZ 716
Fixed a problem where a deleted object could be accessed from within the AML
parser. This was a regression introduced in version 20080123 as a fix for the
Unload operator. Lin Ming. BZ 10669
Cleaned up the debug operand dump mechanism. Eliminated unnecessary operands
and eliminated the use of a negative index in a loop. Operands are now
displayed in the correct order, not backwards. This also fixes a regression
introduced in 20080514 on 64-bit systems where the elimination of
ACPI_NATIVE_UINT caused the negative index to go large and positive. BZ 715
Fixed a possible memory leak in EvPciConfigRegionSetup where the error exit
path did not delete a locally allocated structure.
Updated definitions for the DMAR and SRAT tables to synchronize with the
current specifications. Includes disassembler support.
Fixed a problem in the mutex debug code (in utmutex.c) where an incorrect
loop termination value was used. Loop terminated on iteration early, missing
one mutex. Linn Crosetto
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: 79.3K Code, 16.2K Data, 95.5K Total
Debug Version: 153.0K Code, 48.2K Data, 201.2K Total
2) iASL Compiler/Disassembler and Tools:
Disassembler: Implemented support for EisaId() within _CID objects. Now
disassemble integer _CID objects back to EisaId invocations, including
multiple integers within _CID packages. Includes single-step support for
debugger also.
Disassembler: Added support for DMAR and SRAT table definition changes.
----------------------------------------
14 May 2008. Summary of changes for version 20080514:
1) ACPI CA Core Subsystem:
Fixed a problem where GPEs were enabled too early during the ACPICA
initialization. This could lead to "handler not installed" errors on some
machines. Moved GPE enable until after _REG/_STA/_INI methods are run. This
ensures that all operation regions and devices throughout the namespace have
been initialized before GPEs are enabled. Alexey Starikovskiy, BZ 9916.
Implemented a change to the enter sleep code. Moved execution of the _GTS
method to just before setting sleep enable bit. The execution was moved from
AcpiEnterSleepStatePrep to AcpiEnterSleepState. _GTS is now executed
immediately before the SLP_EN bit is set, as per the ACPI specification.
Luming Yu, BZ 1653.
Implemented a fix to disable unknown GPEs (2nd version). Now always disable
the GPE, even if ACPICA thinks that that it is already disabled. It is
possible that the AML or some other code has enabled the GPE unbeknownst to
the ACPICA code.
Fixed a problem with the Field operator where zero-length fields would return
an AE_AML_NO_OPERAND exception during table load. Fix enables zero-length ASL
field declarations in Field(), BankField(), and IndexField(). BZ 10606.
Implemented a fix for the Load operator, now load the table at the namespace
root. This reverts a change introduced in version 20071019. The table is now
loaded at the namespace root even though this goes against the ACPI
specification. This provides compatibility with other ACPI implementations.
The ACPI specification will be updated to reflect this in ACPI 4.0. Lin Ming.
Fixed a problem where ACPICA would not Load() tables with unusual signatures.
Now ignore ACPI table signature for Load() operator. Only "SSDT" is
acceptable to the ACPI spec, but tables are seen with OEMx and null sigs.
Therefore, signature validation is worthless. Apparently MS ACPI accepts such
signatures, ACPICA must be compatible. BZ 10454.
Fixed a possible negative array index in AcpiUtValidateException. Added NULL
fields to the exception string arrays to eliminate a -1 subtraction on the
SubStatus field.
Updated the debug tracking macros to reduce overall code and data size.
Changed ACPI_MODULE_NAME and ACPI_FUNCTION_NAME to use arrays of strings
instead of pointers to static strings. Jan Beulich and Bob Moore.
Implemented argument count checking in control method invocation via
AcpiEvaluateObject. Now emit an error if too few arguments, warning if too
many. This applies only to extern programmatic control method execution, not
method-to-method calls within the AML. Lin Ming.
Eliminated the ACPI_NATIVE_UINT type across all ACPICA code. This type is no
longer needed, especially with the removal of 16-bit support. It was replaced
mostly with UINT32, but also ACPI_SIZE where a type that changes 32/64 bit on
32/64-bit platforms is required.
Added the C const qualifier for appropriate string constants -- mostly
MODULE_NAME and printf format strings. Jan Beulich.
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: 159.4K Code, 64.4K Data, 223.8K Total
Current Release:
Non-Debug Version: 79.5K Code, 16.2K Data, 95.7K Total
Debug Version: 153.3K Code, 48.3K Data, 201.6K Total
2) iASL Compiler/Disassembler and Tools:
Implemented ACPI table revision ID validation in the disassembler. Zero is
always invalid. For DSDTs, the ID controls the interpreter integer width. 1
means 32-bit and this is unusual. 2 or greater is 64-bit.
----------------------------------------
21 March 2008. Summary of changes for version 20080321:
1) ACPI CA Core Subsystem:
Implemented an additional change to the GPE support in order to suppress
spurious or stray GPEs. The AcpiEvDisableGpe function will now permanently
disable incoming GPEs that are neither enabled nor disabled -- meaning that
the GPE is unknown to the system. This should prevent future interrupt floods
from that GPE. BZ 6217 (Zhang Rui)
Fixed a problem where NULL package elements were not returned to the
AcpiEvaluateObject interface correctly. The element was simply ignored
instead of returning a NULL ACPI_OBJECT package element, potentially causing
a buffer overflow and/or confusing the caller who expected a fixed number of
elements. BZ 10132 (Lin Ming, Bob Moore)
Fixed a problem with the CreateField, CreateXXXField (Bit, Byte, Word, Dword,
Qword), Field, BankField, and IndexField operators when invoked from inside
an executing control method. In this case, these operators created namespace
nodes that were incorrectly left marked as permanent nodes instead of
temporary nodes. This could cause a problem if there is race condition
between an exiting control method and a running namespace walk. (Reported by
Linn Crosetto)
Fixed a problem where the CreateField and CreateXXXField operators would
incorrectly allow duplicate names (the name of the field) with no exception
generated.
Implemented several changes for Notify handling. Added support for new Notify
values (ACPI 2.0+) and improved the Notify debug output. Notify on
PowerResource objects is no longer allowed, as per the ACPI specification.
(Bob Moore, Zhang Rui)
All Reference Objects returned via the AcpiEvaluateObject interface are now
marked as type "REFERENCE" instead of "ANY". The type ANY is now reserved for
NULL objects - either NULL package elements or unresolved named references.
Fixed a problem where an extraneous debug message was produced for package
objects (when debugging enabled). The message "Package List length larger
than NumElements count" is now produced in the correct case, and is now an
error message rather than a debug message. Added a debug message for the
opposite case, where NumElements is larger than the Package List (the package
will be padded out with NULL elements as per the ACPI spec.)
Implemented several improvements for the output of the ASL "Debug" object to
clarify and keep all data for a given object on one output line.
Fixed two size calculation issues with the variable-length Start Dependent
resource descriptor.
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: 79.7K Code, 17.3K Data, 97.0K Total
Debug Version: 158.9K Code, 64.0K Data, 222.9K Total
Current Release:
Non-Debug Version: 80.0K Code, 17.4K Data, 97.4K Total
Debug Version: 159.4K Code, 64.4K Data, 223.8K Total
2) iASL Compiler/Disassembler and Tools:
Fixed a problem with the use of the Switch operator where execution of the
containing method by multiple concurrent threads could cause an
AE_ALREADY_EXISTS exception. This is caused by the fact that there is no
actual Switch opcode, it must be simulated with local named temporary
variables and if/else pairs. The solution chosen was to mark any method that
uses Switch as Serialized, thus preventing multiple thread entries. BZ 469.
----------------------------------------
13 February 2008. Summary of changes for version 20080213:
1) ACPI CA Core Subsystem:
Implemented another MS compatibility design change for GPE/Notify handling.
GPEs are now cleared/enabled asynchronously to allow all pending notifies to
complete first. It is expected that the OSL will queue the enable request
behind all pending notify requests (may require changes to the local host OSL
in AcpiOsExecute). Alexey Starikovskiy.
Fixed a problem where buffer and package objects passed as arguments to a
control method via the external AcpiEvaluateObject interface could cause an
AE_AML_INTERNAL exception depending on the order and type of operators
executed by the target control method.
Fixed a problem where resource descriptor size optimization could cause a
problem when a _CRS resource template is passed to a _SRS method. The _SRS
resource template must use the same descriptors (with the same size) as
returned from _CRS. This change affects the following resource descriptors:
IRQ / IRQNoFlags and StartDependendentFn / StartDependentFnNoPri. (BZ 9487)
Fixed a problem where a CopyObject to RegionField, BankField, and IndexField
objects did not perform an implicit conversion as it should. These types must
retain their initial type permanently as per the ACPI specification. However,
a CopyObject to all other object types should not perform an implicit
conversion, as per the ACPI specification. (Lin Ming, Bob Moore) BZ 388
Fixed a problem with the AcpiGetDevices interface where the mechanism to
match device CIDs did not examine the entire list of available CIDs, but
instead aborted on the first non-matching CID. Andrew Patterson.
Fixed a regression introduced in version 20071114. The ACPI_HIDWORD macro was
inadvertently changed to return a 16-bit value instead of a 32-bit value,
truncating the upper dword of a 64-bit value. This macro is only used to
display debug output, so no incorrect calculations were made. Also,
reimplemented the macro so that a 64-bit shift is not performed by
inefficient compilers.
Added missing va_end statements that should correspond with each va_start
statement.
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: 79.7K Code, 17.3K Data, 97.0K Total
Debug Version: 158.9K Code, 64.0K Data, 222.9K Total
2) iASL Compiler/Disassembler and Tools:
Implemented full disassembler support for the following new ACPI tables:
BERT, EINJ, and ERST. Implemented partial disassembler support for the
complicated HEST table. These tables support the Windows Hardware Error
Architecture (WHEA).
----------------------------------------
23 January 2008. Summary of changes for version 20080123:
1) ACPI CA Core Subsystem:
Added the 2008 copyright to all module headers and signons. This affects
virtually every file in the ACPICA core subsystem, the iASL compiler, and
the tools/utilities.
Fixed a problem with the SizeOf operator when used with Package and Buffer
objects. These objects have deferred execution for some arguments, and the
execution is now completed before the SizeOf is executed. This problem caused
unexpected AE_PACKAGE_LIMIT errors on some systems (Lin Ming, Bob Moore) BZ
9558
Implemented an enhancement to the interpreter "slack mode". In the absence of
an explicit return or an implicitly returned object from the last executed
opcode, a control method will now implicitly return an integer of value 0 for
Microsoft compatibility. (Lin Ming) BZ 392
Fixed a problem with the Load operator where an exception was not returned in
the case where the table is already loaded. (Lin Ming) BZ 463
Implemented support for the use of DDBHandles as an Indexed Reference, as per
the ACPI spec. (Lin Ming) BZ 486
Implemented support for UserTerm (Method invocation) for the Unload operator
as per the ACPI spec. (Lin Ming) BZ 580
Fixed a problem with the LoadTable operator where the OemId and OemTableId
input strings could cause unexpected failures if they were shorter than the
maximum lengths allowed. (Lin Ming, Bob Moore) BZ 576
Implemented support for UserTerm (Method invocation) for the Unload operator
as per the ACPI spec. (Lin Ming) BZ 580
Implemented header file support for new ACPI tables - BERT, ERST, EINJ, HEST,
IBFT, UEFI, WDAT. Disassembler support is forthcoming.
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: 79.5K Code, 17.2K Data, 96.7K Total
Debug Version: 159.0K Code, 63.8K Data, 222.8K Total
2) iASL Compiler/Disassembler and Tools:
Implemented support in the disassembler for checksum validation on incoming
binary DSDTs and SSDTs. If incorrect, a message is displayed within the table
header dump at the start of the disassembly.
Implemented additional debugging information in the namespace listing file
created during compilation. In addition to the namespace hierarchy, the full
pathname to each namespace object is displayed.
Fixed a problem with the disassembler where invalid ACPI tables could cause
faults or infinite loops.
Fixed an unexpected parse error when using the optional "parameter types"
list in a control method declaration. (Lin Ming) BZ 397
Fixed a problem where two External declarations with the same name did not
cause an error (Lin Ming) BZ 509
Implemented support for full TermArgs (adding Argx, Localx and method
invocation) for the ParameterData parameter to the LoadTable operator. (Lin
Ming) BZ 583,587
----------------------------------------
19 December 2007. Summary of changes for version 20071219:
1) ACPI CA Core Subsystem:
Implemented full support for deferred execution for the TermArg string
arguments for DataTableRegion. This enables forward references and full
operand resolution for the three string arguments. Similar to OperationRegion
deferred argument execution.) Lin Ming. BZ 430
Implemented full argument resolution support for the BankValue argument to
BankField. Previously, only constants were supported, now any TermArg may be
used. Lin Ming BZ 387, 393
Fixed a problem with AcpiGetDevices where the search of a branch of the
device tree could be terminated prematurely. In accordance with the ACPI
specification, the search down the current branch is terminated if a device
is both not present and not functional (instead of just not present.) Yakui
Zhao.
Fixed a problem where "unknown" GPEs could be allowed to fire repeatedly if
the underlying AML code changed the GPE enable registers. Now, any unknown
incoming GPE (no _Lxx/_Exx method and not the EC GPE) is immediately disabled
instead of simply ignored. Rui Zhang.
Fixed a problem with Index Fields where the Index register was incorrectly
limited to a maximum of 32 bits. Now any size may be used.
Fixed a couple memory leaks associated with "implicit return" objects when
the AML Interpreter slack mode is enabled. Lin Ming BZ 349
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.

----------------------------------------
14 November 2007. Summary of changes for version 20071114:
1) ACPI CA Core Subsystem:
Implemented event counters for each of the Fixed Events, the ACPI SCI
(interrupt) itself, and control methods executed. Named
AcpiFixedEventCount[], AcpiSciCount, and AcpiMethodCount respectively. These
should be useful for debugging and statistics.
Implemented a new external interface, AcpiGetStatistics, to retrieve the
contents of the various event counters. Returns the current values for
AcpiSciCount, AcpiGpeCount, the AcpiFixedEventCount array, and
AcpiMethodCount. The interface can be expanded in the future if new counters
are added. Device drivers should use this interface rather than access the
counters directly.
Fixed a problem with the FromBCD and ToBCD operators. With some compilers,
the ShortDivide function worked incorrectly, causing problems with the BCD
functions with large input values. A truncation from 64-bit to 32-bit
inadvertently occurred. Internal BZ 435. Lin Ming
Fixed a problem with Index references passed as method arguments. References
passed as arguments to control methods were dereferenced immediately (before
control was passed to the called method). The references are now correctly
passed directly to the called method. BZ 5389. Lin Ming
Fixed a problem with CopyObject used in conjunction with the Index operator.
The reference was incorrectly dereferenced before the copy. The reference is
now correctly copied. BZ 5391. Lin Ming
Fixed a problem with Control Method references within Package objects. These
references are now correctly generated. This completes the package
construction overhaul that began in version 20071019.
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:
The AcpiExec utility now installs handlers for all of the predefined
Operation Region types. New types supported are: PCI_Config, CMOS, and
PCIBARTarget.
Fixed a problem with the 64-bit version of AcpiExec where the extended (64-
bit) address fields for the DSDT and FACS within the FADT were not being
used, causing truncation of the upper 32-bits of these addresses. Lin Ming
and Bob Moore
----------------------------------------
19 October 2007. Summary of changes for version 20071019:
1) ACPI CA Core Subsystem:
Fixed a problem with the Alias operator when the target of the alias is a
named ASL operator that opens a new scope -- Scope, Device, PowerResource,
Processor, and ThermalZone. In these cases, any children of the original
operator could not be accessed via the alias, potentially causing unexpected
AE_NOT_FOUND exceptions. (BZ 9067)
Fixed a problem with the Package operator where all named references were
created as object references and left otherwise unresolved. According to the
ACPI specification, a Package can only contain Data Objects or references to
control methods. The implication is that named references to Data Objects
(Integer, Buffer, String, Package, BufferField, Field) should be resolved
immediately upon package creation. This is the approach taken with this
change. References to all other named objects (Methods, Devices, Scopes,
etc.) are all now properly created as reference objects. (BZ 5328)
Reverted a change to Notify handling that was introduced in version
20070508. This version changed the Notify handling from asynchronous to
fully synchronous (Device driver Notify handling with respect to the Notify
ASL operator). It was found that this change caused more problems than it
solved and was removed by most users.
Fixed a problem with the Increment and Decrement operators where the type of
the target object could be unexpectedly and incorrectly changed. (BZ 353)
Lin Ming.
Fixed a problem with the Load and LoadTable operators where the table
location within the namespace was ignored. Instead, the table was always
loaded into the root or current scope. Lin Ming.
Fixed a problem with the Load operator when loading a table from a buffer
object. The input buffer was prematurely zeroed and/or deleted. (BZ 577)
Fixed a problem with the Debug object where a store of a DdbHandle reference
object to the Debug object could cause a fault.
Added a table checksum verification for the Load operator, in the case where
the load is from a buffer. (BZ 578).
Implemented additional parameter validation for the LoadTable operator. The
length of the input strings SignatureString, OemIdString, and OemTableId are
now checked for maximum lengths. (BZ 582) Lin Ming.
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:
Fixed a problem where if a single file was specified and the file did not
exist, no error message was emitted. (Introduced with wildcard support in
version 20070917.)
----------------------------------------
19 September 2007. Summary of changes for version 20070919:
1) ACPI CA Core Subsystem:
Designed and implemented new external interfaces to install and remove
handlers for ACPI table-related events. Current events that are defined are
LOAD and UNLOAD. These interfaces allow the host to track ACPI tables as
they are dynamically loaded and unloaded. See AcpiInstallTableHandler and
AcpiRemoveTableHandler. (Lin Ming and Bob Moore)
Fixed a problem where the use of the AcpiGbl_AllMethodsSerialized flag
(acpi_serialized option on Linux) could cause some systems to hang during
initialization. (Bob Moore) BZ 8171
Fixed a problem where objects of certain types (Device, ThermalZone,
Processor, PowerResource) can be not found if they are declared and
referenced from within the same control method (Lin Ming) BZ 341
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: 78.5K Code, 17.1K Data, 95.6K Total
Debug Version: 156.7K Code, 63.2K Data, 219.9K Total
2) iASL Compiler/Disassembler:
Implemented support to allow multiple files to be compiled/disassembled in a
single invocation. This includes command line wildcard support for both the
Windows and Unix versions of the compiler. This feature simplifies the
disassembly and compilation of multiple ACPI tables in a single directory.
----------------------------------------
08 May 2007. Summary of changes for version 20070508:
1) ACPI CA Core Subsystem:
Implemented a Microsoft compatibility design change for the handling of the
Notify AML operator. Previously, notify handlers were dispatched and
executed completely asynchronously in a deferred thread. The new design
still executes the notify handlers in a different thread, but the original
thread that executed the Notify() now waits at a synchronization point for
the notify handler to complete. Some machines depend on a synchronous Notify
operator in order to operate correctly.
Implemented support to allow Package objects to be passed as method
arguments to the external AcpiEvaluateObject interface. Previously, this
would return the AE_NOT_IMPLEMENTED exception. This feature had not been
implemented since there were no reserved control methods that required it
until recently.
Fixed a problem with the internal FADT conversion where ACPI 1.0 FADTs that
contained invalid non-zero values in reserved fields could cause later
failures because these fields have meaning in later revisions of the FADT.
For incoming ACPI 1.0 FADTs, these fields are now always zeroed. (The fields
are: Preferred_PM_Profile, PSTATE_CNT, CST_CNT, and IAPC_BOOT_FLAGS.)
Fixed a problem where the Global Lock handle was not properly updated if a
thread that acquired the Global Lock via executing AML code then attempted
to acquire the lock via the AcpiAcquireGlobalLock interface. Reported by Joe
Liu.
Fixed a problem in AcpiEvDeleteGpeXrupt where the global interrupt list
could be corrupted if the interrupt being removed was at the head of the
list. Reported by Linn Crosetto.
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.

----------------------------------------
20 March 2007. Summary of changes for version 20070320:
1) ACPI CA Core Subsystem:
Import ACPICA 20090521 (with three patches from ACPICA GIT).
2009-06-01 21:02:40 +00:00
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

2009-06-01 21:02:40 +00:00
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.

2009-06-01 21:02:40 +00:00
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.

1) ACPI CA Core Subsystem:
Import ACPICA 20090521 (with three patches from ACPICA GIT).
2009-06-01 21:02:40 +00:00
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.

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)

12 September 2006. Summary of changes for version 20060912:
1) ACPI CA Core Subsystem:
Import ACPICA 20090521 (with three patches from ACPICA GIT).
2009-06-01 21:02:40 +00:00
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.

2009-06-01 21:02:40 +00:00
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)

23 August 2006. Summary of changes for version 20060823:
1) ACPI CA Core Subsystem:
Import ACPICA 20090521 (with three patches from ACPICA GIT).
2009-06-01 21:02:40 +00:00
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.

time).

New ACPICA interfaces:
Import ACPICA 20090521 (with three patches from ACPICA GIT).
2009-06-01 21:02:40 +00:00
- 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:
Import ACPICA 20090521 (with three patches from ACPICA GIT).
2009-06-01 21:02:40 +00:00
- 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.

2007-03-22 17:24:05 +00:00
Porting to the new table manager:
Import ACPICA 20090521 (with three patches from ACPICA GIT).
2009-06-01 21:02:40 +00:00
- 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)

21 July 2006. Summary of changes for version 20060721:
1) ACPI CA Core Subsystem:
Import ACPICA 20090521 (with three patches from ACPICA GIT).
2009-06-01 21:02:40 +00:00
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

Import ACPICA 20090521 (with three patches from ACPICA GIT).
2009-06-01 21:02:40 +00:00
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.

07 July 2006. Summary of changes for version 20060707:
1) ACPI CA Core Subsystem:
Import ACPICA 20090521 (with three patches from ACPICA GIT).
2009-06-01 21:02:40 +00:00
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.)

23 June 2006. Summary of changes for version 20060623:
1) ACPI CA Core Subsystem:
Import ACPICA 20090521 (with three patches from ACPICA GIT).
2009-06-01 21:02:40 +00:00
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 output trace mechanism and has
a much larger code and data size.

08 June 2006. Summary of changes for version 20060608:
1) ACPI CA Core Subsystem:
Import ACPICA 20090521 (with three patches from ACPICA GIT).
2009-06-01 21:02:40 +00:00
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.

26 May 2006. Summary of changes for version 20060526:
1) ACPI CA Core Subsystem:
Import ACPICA 20090521 (with three patches from ACPICA GIT).
2009-06-01 21:02:40 +00:00
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)

Import ACPICA 20090521 (with three patches from ACPICA GIT).
2009-06-01 21:02:40 +00:00
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.

2007-03-22 17:24:05 +00:00
Import ACPICA 20090521 (with three patches from ACPICA GIT).
2009-06-01 21:02:40 +00:00
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)

2009-06-01 21:02:40 +00:00
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

12 May 2006. Summary of changes for version 20060512:
1) ACPI CA Core Subsystem:
Import ACPICA 20090521 (with three patches from ACPICA GIT).
2009-06-01 21:02:40 +00:00
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.

2) iASL Compiler/Disassembler and Tools:
Import ACPICA 20090521 (with three patches from ACPICA GIT).
2009-06-01 21:02:40 +00:00
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:
Import ACPICA 20090521 (with three patches from ACPICA GIT).
2009-06-01 21:02:40 +00:00
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
Vendor import of Intel ACPI-CA 20070320
2007-03-22 17:24:05 +00:00
traversed.)
Import ACPICA 20090521 (with three patches from ACPICA GIT).
2009-06-01 21:02:40 +00:00
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.)
Vendor import of Intel ACPI-CA 20070320
2007-03-22 17:24:05 +00:00
Import ACPICA 20090521 (with three patches from ACPICA GIT).
2009-06-01 21:02:40 +00:00
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.
Vendor import of Intel ACPI-CA 20070320
2007-03-22 17:24:05 +00:00
Import ACPICA 20090521 (with three patches from ACPICA GIT).
2009-06-01 21:02:40 +00:00
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
Vendor import of Intel ACPI-CA 20070320
2007-03-22 17:24:05 +00:00
implementation.
Import ACPICA 20090521 (with three patches from ACPICA GIT).
2009-06-01 21:02:40 +00:00
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.

2009-06-01 21:02:40 +00:00
Restructured and corrected various problems in the exception handling code
paths within DsCallControlMethod and DsTerminateControlMethod in dsmethod
(with assistance from Takayoshi Kochi.)

2007-03-22 17:24:05 +00:00
Import ACPICA 20090521 (with three patches from ACPICA GIT).
2009-06-01 21:02:40 +00:00
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.
Vendor import of Intel ACPI-CA 20070320
2007-03-22 17:24:05 +00:00
Import ACPICA 20090521 (with three patches from ACPICA GIT).
2009-06-01 21:02:40 +00:00
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

2009-06-01 21:02:40 +00:00
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.

2009-06-01 21:02:40 +00:00
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.
Vendor import of Intel ACPI-CA 20070320
2007-03-22 17:24:05 +00:00
Import ACPICA 20090521 (with three patches from ACPICA GIT).
2009-06-01 21:02:40 +00:00
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:
Import ACPICA 20090521 (with three patches from ACPICA GIT).
2009-06-01 21:02:40 +00:00
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.

Import ACPICA 20090521 (with three patches from ACPICA GIT).
2009-06-01 21:02:40 +00:00
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)

2009-06-01 21:02:40 +00:00
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)

Import ACPICA 20090521 (with three patches from ACPICA GIT).
2009-06-01 21:02:40 +00:00
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.

Import ACPICA 20090521 (with three patches from ACPICA GIT).
2009-06-01 21:02:40 +00:00
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.

17 March 2006. Summary of changes for version 20060317:
1) ACPI CA Core Subsystem:
Import ACPICA 20090521 (with three patches from ACPICA GIT).
2009-06-01 21:02:40 +00:00
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.

2009-06-01 21:02:40 +00:00
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

10 March 2006. Summary of changes for version 20060310:
1) ACPI CA Core Subsystem:
Import ACPICA 20090521 (with three patches from ACPICA GIT).
2009-06-01 21:02:40 +00:00
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.

2) iASL Compiler/Disassembler:
Import ACPICA 20090521 (with three patches from ACPICA GIT).
2009-06-01 21:02:40 +00:00
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:
Import ACPICA 20090521 (with three patches from ACPICA GIT).
2009-06-01 21:02:40 +00:00
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

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

2009-06-01 21:02:40 +00:00
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.

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

13 January 2006. Summary of changes for version 20060113:
1) ACPI CA Core Subsystem:
Import ACPICA 20090521 (with three patches from ACPICA GIT).
2009-06-01 21:02:40 +00:00
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

1) ACPI CA Core Subsystem:
Import ACPICA 20090521 (with three patches from ACPICA GIT).
2009-06-01 21:02:40 +00:00
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.

02 December 2005. Summary of changes for version 20051202:
1) ACPI CA Core Subsystem:
Import ACPICA 20090521 (with three patches from ACPICA GIT).
2009-06-01 21:02:40 +00:00
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.

2009-06-01 21:02:40 +00:00
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.

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:
Import ACPICA 20090521 (with three patches from ACPICA GIT).
2009-06-01 21:02:40 +00:00
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.

2009-06-01 21:02:40 +00:00
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.

immediately after the ASL code for each descriptor, instead of in a block at
the end of the entire resource template.

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:
Import ACPICA 20090521 (with three patches from ACPICA GIT).
2009-06-01 21:02:40 +00:00
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

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.

21 October 2005. Summary of changes for version 20051021:
1) ACPI CA Core Subsystem:
Import ACPICA 20090521 (with three patches from ACPICA GIT).
2009-06-01 21:02:40 +00:00
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

2009-06-01 21:02:40 +00:00
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.

2009-06-01 21:02:40 +00:00
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.

30 September 2005. Summary of changes for version 20050930:
1) ACPI CA Core Subsystem:
Import ACPICA 20090521 (with three patches from ACPICA GIT).
2009-06-01 21:02:40 +00:00
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

2009-06-01 21:02:40 +00:00
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.

1) ACPI CA Core Subsystem:
Import ACPICA 20090521 (with three patches from ACPICA GIT).
2009-06-01 21:02:40 +00:00
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

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 "\\")

1) ACPI CA Core Subsystem:
Import ACPICA 20090521 (with three patches from ACPICA GIT).
2009-06-01 21:02:40 +00:00
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.

1) ACPI CA Core Subsystem:
Import ACPICA 20090521 (with three patches from ACPICA GIT).
2009-06-01 21:02:40 +00:00
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.

29 July 2005. Summary of changes for version 20050729:
1) ACPI CA Core Subsystem:
Import ACPICA 20090521 (with three patches from ACPICA GIT).
2009-06-01 21:02:40 +00:00
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

Import ACPICA 20090521 (with three patches from ACPICA GIT).
2009-06-01 21:02:40 +00:00
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.

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:
Import ACPICA 20090521 (with three patches from ACPICA GIT).
2009-06-01 21:02:40 +00:00
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).
Import ACPICA 20090521 (with three patches from ACPICA GIT).
2009-06-01 21:02:40 +00:00
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

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:
Import ACPICA 20090521 (with three patches from ACPICA GIT).
2009-06-01 21:02:40 +00:00
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.
Vendor import of Intel ACPI-CA 20051021

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

object within a Case() statement caused a compile time exception. The
original behavior has been restored (a Match() operator is emitted.)

1) ACPI CA Core Subsystem:
Import ACPICA 20090521 (with three patches from ACPICA GIT).
2009-06-01 21:02:40 +00:00
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.

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.
Import ACPICA 20090521 (with three patches from ACPICA GIT).
2009-06-01 21:02:40 +00:00
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 debug version of the code includes the

that these values will vary depending on the efficiency of the compiler and

output incorrectly. This problem was introduced in the previous release
(20050526). This problem also affected the single-step disassembly in the
debugger.

rarely) produce compile errors.

2009-06-01 21:02:40 +00:00
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:
Import ACPICA 20090521 (with three patches from ACPICA GIT).
2009-06-01 21:02:40 +00:00
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.
Vendor import of Intel ACPI-CA 20051021
2005-11-01 22:11:18 +00:00
Import ACPICA 20090521 (with three patches from ACPICA GIT).
2009-06-01 21:02:40 +00:00
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

2) iASL Compiler/Disassembler:
Import ACPICA 20090521 (with three patches from ACPICA GIT).
2009-06-01 21:02:40 +00:00
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.

Import ACPICA 20090521 (with three patches from ACPICA GIT).
2009-06-01 21:02:40 +00:00
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.)

Import ACPICA 20090521 (with three patches from ACPICA GIT).
2009-06-01 21:02:40 +00:00
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.

2009-06-01 21:02:40 +00:00
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.

2009-06-01 21:02:40 +00:00
Fixed a problem with the CopyObject operator where a copy to an existing
named object did not always completely overwrite the existing object stored

Fixed a problem with large package objects: if the static length of the

255 elements are not allowed.

08 April 2005. Summary of changes for version 20050408:
1) ACPI CA Core Subsystem:
Import ACPICA 20090521 (with three patches from ACPICA GIT).
2009-06-01 21:02:40 +00:00
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.

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.

1) ACPI CA Core Subsystem:
Import ACPICA 20090521 (with three patches from ACPICA GIT).
2009-06-01 21:02:40 +00:00
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
Vendor import of Intel ACPI-CA 20051021
2005-11-01 22:11:18 +00:00
AE_AML_BUFFER_LIMIT issues.
Import ACPICA 20090521 (with three patches from ACPICA GIT).
2009-06-01 21:02:40 +00:00
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

Import ACPICA 20090521 (with three patches from ACPICA GIT).
2009-06-01 21:02:40 +00:00
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.

11 February 2005. Summary of changes for version 20050211:
1) ACPI CA Core Subsystem:
Import ACPICA 20090521 (with three patches from ACPICA GIT).
2009-06-01 21:02:40 +00:00
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

25 January 2005. Summary of changes for version 20050125:
1) ACPI CA Core Subsystem:
Import ACPICA 20090521 (with three patches from ACPICA GIT).
2009-06-01 21:02:40 +00:00
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.

2) iASL Compiler/Disassembler:
Import ACPICA 20090521 (with three patches from ACPICA GIT).
2009-06-01 21:02:40 +00:00
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.

2005-11-01 22:11:18 +00:00
Import ACPICA 20090521 (with three patches from ACPICA GIT).
2009-06-01 21:02:40 +00:00
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.
Vendor import of Intel ACPI-CA 20051021
2005-11-01 22:11:18 +00:00
Import ACPICA 20090521 (with three patches from ACPICA GIT).
2009-06-01 21:02:40 +00:00
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.
Vendor import of Intel ACPI-CA 20051021
2005-11-01 22:11:18 +00:00
Import ACPICA 20090521 (with three patches from ACPICA GIT).
2009-06-01 21:02:40 +00:00
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:
Import ACPICA 20090521 (with three patches from ACPICA GIT).
2009-06-01 21:02:40 +00:00
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:
Import ACPICA 20090521 (with three patches from ACPICA GIT).
2009-06-01 21:02:40 +00:00
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.
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

2005-11-01 22:11:18 +00:00
EnableInterpreterSlack flag.
Import ACPICA 20090521 (with three patches from ACPICA GIT).
2009-06-01 21:02:40 +00:00
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.

2009-06-01 21:02:40 +00:00
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).

1) ACPI CA Core Subsystem:
Import ACPICA 20090521 (with three patches from ACPICA GIT).
2009-06-01 21:02:40 +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

06 October 2004. Summary of changes for version 20041006:
1) ACPI CA Core Subsystem:
Import ACPICA 20090521 (with three patches from ACPICA GIT).
2009-06-01 21:02:40 +00:00
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.

translated Else...If parse tree was improperly constructed leading to the
loss of some code.

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 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.

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:
Import ACPICA 20090521 (with three patches from ACPICA GIT).
2009-06-01 21:02:40 +00:00
- 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:
Vendor import of Intel ACPI-CA 20041119
2004-12-01 23:14:10 +00:00
LEqual (Source1, Source2)
Import ACPICA 20090521 (with three patches from ACPICA GIT).
2009-06-01 21:02:40 +00:00
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.
Vendor import of Intel ACPI-CA 20041119
2004-12-01 23:14:10 +00:00
Import ACPICA 20090521 (with three patches from ACPICA GIT).
2009-06-01 21:02:40 +00:00
- 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:

Import ACPICA 20090521 (with three patches from ACPICA GIT).
2009-06-01 21:02:40 +00:00
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.

2009-06-01 21:02:40 +00:00
- 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.

16 August 2004. Summary of changes for version 20040816:
1) ACPI CA Core Subsystem:
Import ACPICA 20090521 (with three patches from ACPICA GIT).
2009-06-01 21:02:40 +00:00
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 via the AcpiGbl_EnableInterpreterSlack flag.
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
Vendor import of Intel ACPI-CA 20041119
2004-12-01 23:14:10 +00:00
interface.
Import ACPICA 20090521 (with three patches from ACPICA GIT).

2009-06-01 21:02:40 +00:00
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:
Import ACPICA 20090521 (with three patches from ACPICA GIT).
2009-06-01 21:02:40 +00:00
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

that these values will vary depending on the efficiency of the compiler and

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.

2009-06-01 21:02:40 +00:00
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

not end on an aligned boundary. Merged the read/write "datum length"
calculation code into a common procedure.

Run _INI methods on ThermalZone objects. This is against the ACPI

27 April 2004. Summary of changes for version 20040427:
1) ACPI CA Core Subsystem:
Import ACPICA 20090521 (with three patches from ACPICA GIT).
2009-06-01 21:02:40 +00:00
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
Vendor import of Intel ACPI-CA 20040514.
2004-05-25 02:34:44 +00:00
consistency with the other fields returned.
Import ACPICA 20090521 (with three patches from ACPICA GIT).
2009-06-01 21:02:40 +00:00
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.

2009-06-01 21:02:40 +00:00
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.)

2009-06-01 21:02:40 +00:00
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.

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);
Import ACPICA 20090521 (with three patches from ACPICA GIT).
2009-06-01 21:02:40 +00:00
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.

02 April 2004. Summary of changes for version 20040402:
1) ACPI CA Core Subsystem:
Import ACPICA 20090521 (with three patches from ACPICA GIT).
2009-06-01 21:02:40 +00:00
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

target of a Scope() operator is overridden. This problem caused an
incorrectly nested internal namespace to be constructed.

2009-06-01 21:02:40 +00:00
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

11 March 2004. Summary of changes for version 20040311:
1) ACPI CA Core Subsystem:
Import ACPICA 20090521 (with three patches from ACPICA GIT).
2009-06-01 21:02:40 +00:00
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.
Import of Intel ACPI-CA 20040311.
2004-03-18 17:42:14 +00:00
Import ACPICA 20090521 (with three patches from ACPICA GIT).
2009-06-01 21:02:40 +00:00
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.)
Import of Intel ACPI-CA 20040311.
2004-03-18 17:42:14 +00:00
Import ACPICA 20090521 (with three patches from ACPICA GIT).
2009-06-01 21:02:40 +00:00
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

Import ACPICA 20090521 (with three patches from ACPICA GIT).
2009-06-01 21:02:40 +00:00
Fixed two functions that were inappropriately declaring large objects on the
CPU stack: PsParseLoop, NsEvaluateRelative. Reduces the stack usage during
method execution considerably.

2004-03-18 17:42:14 +00:00
Import ACPICA 20090521 (with three patches from ACPICA GIT).
2009-06-01 21:02:40 +00:00
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.

2009-06-01 21:02:40 +00:00
The purpose of this release is primarily to update the copyright years in

----------------------------------------
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.
Import ACPICA 20090521 (with three patches from ACPICA GIT).
2009-06-01 21:02:40 +00:00
When sleeping, clear the wake status only if SleepState is not S5.
Vendor import of ACPICA 20040220
2004-02-28 20:23:30 +00:00
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.
Import ACPICA 20090521 (with three patches from ACPICA GIT).
2009-06-01 21:02:40 +00:00
Within the support for IRQ resources, restructured the handling of
Vendor import of ACPICA 20040220
2004-02-28 20:23:30 +00:00
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

Import ACPICA 20090521 (with three patches from ACPICA GIT).
2009-06-01 21:02:40 +00:00
these values will vary depending on the efficiency of the compiler

Vendor import of ACPICA 20040220
2004-02-28 20:23:30 +00:00
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
Import ACPICA 20090521 (with three patches from ACPICA GIT).
2009-06-01 21:02:40 +00:00
would not get invoked on an RTC event. The RTC event bitmasks for
Vendor import of ACPICA 20040220
2004-02-28 20:23:30 +00:00
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
Import ACPICA 20090521 (with three patches from ACPICA GIT).
2009-06-01 21:02:40 +00:00
ACPI specification, there is existing ASL code that depends on the
Vendor import of ACPICA 20040220
2004-02-28 20:23:30 +00:00
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-
Import ACPICA 20090521 (with three patches from ACPICA GIT).
2009-06-01 21:02:40 +00:00
character namespace node name. This function simplifies the debug
and error output, as well as guarding against null pointers during
Vendor import of ACPICA 20040220
2004-02-28 20:23:30 +00:00
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
Import ACPICA 20090521 (with three patches from ACPICA GIT).
2009-06-01 21:02:40 +00:00

----------------------------------------
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
Import ACPICA 20090521 (with three patches from ACPICA GIT).
2009-06-01 21:02:40 +00:00
granularity and therefore required multiple writes to complete the
Vendor import of ACPICA 20040220
2004-02-28 20:23:30 +00:00
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

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.
Import ACPICA 20090521 (with three patches from ACPICA GIT).
2009-06-01 21:02:40 +00:00
Fixed a call to AcpiHwRegisterWrite in hwregs.c that was causing a

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

2009-06-01 21:02:40 +00:00

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
Import ACPICA 20090521 (with three patches from ACPICA GIT).
2009-06-01 21:02:40 +00:00
AML instruction that caused the method abort, a dump of the method

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

2009-06-01 21:02:40 +00:00
zero) - instead, a simple buffer object with a NULL buffer pointer
Vendor import of ACPICA 20040220
2004-02-28 20:23:30 +00:00
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.
Import ACPICA 20090521 (with three patches from ACPICA GIT).
2009-06-01 21:02:40 +00:00
Implemented full support for _CID methods that return a package of
multiple CIDs (Compatible IDs). The AcpiGetObjectInfo() interface
Vendor import of ACPICA 20040220
2004-02-28 20:23:30 +00:00
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.

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.

the installation of space handlers can cause _REG methods to be

run. Previously, the _REG methods could potentially be run before

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

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

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.

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
Import ACPICA 20090521 (with three patches from ACPICA GIT).
2009-06-01 21:02:40 +00:00
structures are ignored. This is per the ACPI specification but it
Vendor import of ACPICA 20040220

isn't very clear. The full 256 Block 0/1 GPEs are now supported
Import ACPICA 20090521 (with three patches from ACPICA GIT).
2009-06-01 21:02:40 +00:00

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.)
Import ACPICA 20090521 (with three patches from ACPICA GIT).
2009-06-01 21:02:40 +00:00
Fixed a problem where a store of a NULL string to a package object
Vendor import of ACPICA 20040220
2004-02-28 20:23:30 +00:00
could cause the premature deletion of the object. This was seen

resulting in no battery data being returned.

error. This is a case where we can relax the strict checking in
the interpreter in the name of compatibility.

09 January 2003. Summary of changes for version 20030109.
1) ACPI CA Core Subsystem:
Changed the behavior of the internal Buffer-to-String conversion
Import ACPICA 20090521 (with three patches from ACPICA GIT).
2009-06-01 21:02:40 +00:00
function. The current ACPI specification states that the contents
Vendor import of ACPICA 20040220
2004-02-28 20:23:30 +00:00
of the buffer are "converted to a string of two-character
hexadecimal numbers, each separated by a space". Unfortunately,
Import ACPICA 20090521 (with three patches from ACPICA GIT).
2009-06-01 21:02:40 +00:00
this definition is not backwards compatible with existing ACPI 1.0
implementations (although the behavior was not defined in the ACPI
Vendor import of ACPICA 20040220
2004-02-28 20:23:30 +00:00
1.0 specification). The new behavior simply copies data from the
Import ACPICA 20090521 (with three patches from ACPICA GIT).
2009-06-01 21:02:40 +00:00
buffer to the string until a null character is found or the end of
Vendor import of ACPICA 20040220
2004-02-28 20:23:30 +00:00
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.

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.

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.
Import ACPICA 20090521 (with three patches from ACPICA GIT).
2009-06-01 21:02:40 +00:00
Fixed a problem where an internal error was generated if a control
Vendor import of ACPICA 20040220
2004-02-28 20:23:30 +00:00
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.

2009-06-01 21:02:40 +00:00
not always allocate sufficient memory for the target String object
Vendor import of ACPICA 20040220
2004-02-28 20:23:30 +00:00
and caused memory corruption. This problem was seen to cause
"Allocation already present in list!" errors as memory allocation
became corrupted.

Import ACPICA 20090521 (with three patches from ACPICA GIT).
2009-06-01 21:02:40 +00:00
Implemented a new function for the evaluation of namespace objects
Vendor import of ACPICA 20040220
2004-02-28 20:23:30 +00:00
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

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.
Import ACPICA 20090521 (with three patches from ACPICA GIT).
2009-06-01 21:02:40 +00:00
Fixed a problem where the internal object copy routine would cause
Vendor import of ACPICA 20040220
2004-02-28 20:23:30 +00:00
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
Import ACPICA 20090521 (with three patches from ACPICA GIT).
2009-06-01 21:02:40 +00:00
block must be zero if the block is not supported. Another section
Vendor import of ACPICA 20040220
2004-02-28 20:23:30 +00:00
implies that only the address need be zero if the block is not

2009-06-01 21:02:40 +00:00
supported. The code has been changed so that both the address and
Vendor import of ACPICA 20040220
2004-02-28 20:23:30 +00:00
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.)

Changed the implementation of the ACPI semaphores to use down()
instead of down_interruptable(). It is important that the
execution of ACPI control methods not be interrupted by signals.

line with other similar tools. The location of the output files
can be overridden with the -p command line switch.

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

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 in

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
Import ACPICA 20090521 (with three patches from ACPICA GIT).
2009-06-01 21:02:40 +00:00
interpreter would create the name if not found. This new behavior
Vendor import of ACPICA 20040220
2004-02-28 20:23:30 +00:00
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.

within the namespace. The existing design did not handle the 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

18 September 2002. Summary of changes for this release.
1) ACPI CA Core Subsystem version 20020918:
Import of Intel ACPI 20030228 vendor distribution
2003-04-29 18:39:29 +00:00
Fixed a reported problem with reference chaining (via the Index()

and RefOf() operators) in the ObjectType() and SizeOf() operators.
Vendor import of ACPICA 20040220
2004-02-28 20:23:30 +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

Windows to function properly. A warning is issued, however. This
Vendor import of ACPICA 20040220
2004-02-28 20:23:30 +00:00
affects both the AML interpreter and the iASL compiler. Below is
an example of this type of ASL code:

2003-04-29 18:39:29 +00:00
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.

2002-10-04 20:07:58 +00:00
3) iASL Compiler/Disassembler version 20020918:
Import of Intel ACPI 20030228 vendor distribution
2003-04-29 18:39:29 +00:00
Fixed a problem where the typechecking code didn't know that an
alias could point to a method. In other words, aliases were not
being dereferenced during typechecking.

Import of Intel ACPI 20030228 vendor distribution
2003-04-29 18:39:29 +00:00
If the target of a Scope() operator already exists, it must be an

Tightened up the namespace load to disallow multiple names in the
same scope. This previously was allowed if both objects were of
the same type. (i.e., a lookup was the same as entering a new
name).

2002-10-04 20:07:58 +00:00
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
for namepaths within the ASL/AML.

Fixed a problem where the typechecking of method return values was
Vendor import of ACPICA 20040220
2004-02-28 20:23:30 +00:00
broken. This includes the check for a return value when the

method is invoked as a TermArg (a return value is expected.)

15 August 2002. Summary of changes for this release.
1) ACPI CA Core Subsystem Version 20020815:
Import of Intel ACPI 20030228 vendor distribution
2003-04-29 18:39:29 +00:00
Fixed a reported problem where a Store to a method argument that

2009-06-01 21:02:40 +00:00
contains a reference did not perform the indirect store correctly.
Vendor import of ACPICA 20040220
2004-02-28 20:23:30 +00:00
This problem was created during the conversion to the new

optimization in the iASL compiler uncovered a problem with the AML
Vendor import of ACPICA 20040220
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

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.

2003-04-29 18:39:29 +00:00
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.

2009-06-01 21:02:40 +00:00
first attempt tries to utilize a single nameseg (4 characters) and
Vendor import of ACPICA 20040220
2004-02-28 20:23:30 +00:00
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

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

Added error messages for incorrectly ordered dependent resource
functions. This includes: missing EndDependentFn macro at end of
dependent resource list, nested dependent function macros (both
start and end), and missing StartDependentFn macro. These are
common errors that should be caught at compile time.

Import of Intel ACPI 20030228 vendor distribution
2003-04-29 18:39:29 +00:00
Implemented _OSI support for the disassembler and compiler. _OSI
must be included in the namespace for proper disassembly (because
the disassembler must know the number of arguments.)

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

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.

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

02 July 2002. Summary of changes for this release.
1) ACPI CA Core Subsystem Version 20020702:
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
Import ACPICA 20090521 (with three patches from ACPICA GIT).
2009-06-01 21:02:40 +00:00
validated in any way and are returned from AcpiGetFirmwareTable if
Vendor import of ACPICA 20040220
2004-02-28 20:23:30 +00:00
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

2003-04-29 18:39:29 +00:00
tbgetall.c.
Import ACPICA 20090521 (with three patches from ACPICA GIT).
2009-06-01 21:02:40 +00:00
Fixed a problem with the conversion of internal package objects to
Vendor import of ACPICA 20040220
2004-02-28 20:23:30 +00:00
external objects (when a package is returned from a control
Import of Intel ACPI 20030228 vendor distribution
2003-04-29 18:39:29 +00:00

Vendor import of the Intel ACPI CA 20021002 drop.
2002-10-04 20:07:58 +00:00
Fixed a reported problem with the use of the RefOf and DeRefOf
Import of Intel ACPI 20030228 vendor distribution
2003-04-29 18:39:29 +00:00
operators when passing reference arguments to control methods. A
new type of Reference object is used internally for references
produced by the RefOf operator.

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
Import ACPICA 20090521 (with three patches from ACPICA GIT).
2009-06-01 21:02:40 +00:00
their minimal AML representation (i.e. AML constants if possible.)
Vendor import of ACPICA 20040220
2004-02-28 20:23:30 +00:00
The _PRT code now handles all AML constant opcodes correctly
(Zero, One, Ones, Revision).

2004-02-28 20:23:30 +00:00
not fully evaluated, causing a run-time error of AE_AML_INTERNAL.

2002-10-04 20:07:58 +00:00
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
Vendor import of the Intel ACPI CA 20021002 drop.
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
Import ACPICA 20090521 (with three patches from ACPICA GIT).
2009-06-01 21:02:40 +00:00
contained in Reference objects.) The complicating issues are that

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.

names within error messages were wrong. This was caused by a
slight difference in the output of the Flex tool on Linux versus
Windows.

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
Import ACPICA 20090521 (with three patches from ACPICA GIT).
2009-06-01 21:02:40 +00:00
inconsistent (ACPI 2.0 revision vs. ACPI 1.0 table size). The new
Vendor import of ACPICA 20040220
2004-02-28 20:23:30 +00:00
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 20020815 drop.
2002-08-29 01:51:24 +00:00
Import ACPICA 20090521 (with three patches from ACPICA GIT).

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

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.

19 April 2002. Summary of changes for this release.
1) ACPI CA Core Subsystem Version 20020419:
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.

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
Import ACPICA 20090521 (with three patches from ACPICA GIT).
2009-06-01 21:02:40 +00:00
ACPI 2.0 X field is zero (even though the table revision indicates
a full ACPI 2.0 table.) The ACPI specification will be updated to
Vendor import of ACPICA 20040220

clarify this issue.

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

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.

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.

2009-06-01 21:02:40 +00:00
Fixed a couple of problems with the Global Lock support introduced
in the last major build. The "common" (1.0/2.0) internal FACS was
Vendor import of ACPICA 20040220
2004-02-28 20:23:30 +00:00
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.

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

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

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

2009-06-01 21:02:40 +00:00
bypass the "implicit conversion" mechanism of the Store operator.)
Vendor import of the Intel ACPI CA 20020815 drop.
2002-08-29 01:51:24 +00:00
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
Import ACPICA 20090521 (with three patches from ACPICA GIT).
2009-06-01 21:02:40 +00:00
problem: 1) Objects created during the initialization phase method
parse were not being deleted, and 2) The object owner ID mechanism
Vendor import of ACPICA 20040220
2004-02-28 20:23:30 +00:00
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.

(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

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

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

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

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"

(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
Import ACPICA 20090521 (with three patches from ACPICA GIT).
2009-06-01 21:02:40 +00:00
PciConfiguration(), Read/Write Memory(), and Read/Write Port() now

Import ACPICA 20090521 (with three patches from ACPICA GIT).
2009-06-01 21:02:40 +00:00
the value parameter for the address space handler interface is now
an ACPI_INTEGER. OSL implementations of these interfaces must now

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 ACPICA 20040220
2004-02-28 20:23:30 +00:00
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.

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 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.

Import of Intel ACPI 20030228 vendor distribution
2003-04-29 18:39:29 +00:00
accomplished by moving the four values that define an address in

("All mutexes must be released when an invocation exits") and
prevents deadlocked ASL threads. This mechanism can be expanded
(later) to monitor other resource acquisitions if OEM ASL code

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.

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.
