|
|
.Nm acpidump
|
|
.Nd dump ACPI tables
|
|
.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
|
.Nm
|
|
.Nm
|
|
.Op Fl o Ar dsdt_file_for_output
|
|
.Nm
|
|
.Op Fl f Ar dsdt_file_for_input
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
command analyzes ACPI tables in physical memory and dumps them to standard output.
|
|
In addition,
|
|
.Nm
|
|
can disassemble some contents of the tables in AML
|
|
.Pq ACPI Machine Language
|
|
and dump them in ASL
|
|
.Pq ACPI Source Language .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
ACPI tables have an notably essential data block called DSDT
|
|
.Pq Differentiated System Description Table ,
|
|
that includes information used on the kernel side such as
|
|
detail information about PnP hardware, procedures for controlling
|
|
a power management support and so on.
|
|
.Nm
|
|
can extract a DSDT data block from physical memory and store it into
|
|
a DSDT data file, and also can generate an output in ASL
|
|
from a given DSDT data file.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
When
|
|
.Nm
|
|
is invoked with no option, it will search ACPI tables from physical
|
|
memory via a special file
|
|
.Pa /dev/mem
|
|
and dump them. First, it searches Root System Description Pointer,
|
|
that has a signature
|
|
.Qq RSD PTR\ \& ,
|
|
and then gets RSDT
|
|
.Pq Root System Description Table ,
|
|
which includes a list of pointers to physical memory addresses
|
|
for other tables.
|
|
RSDT itself and all other tables linked from RSDT are generically
|
|
called SDT
|
|
.Pq System Description Table
|
|
and their header has the common format which consists of items
|
|
such as Signature, Length, Revision, Checksum, OEMID, OEM Table ID,
|
|
OEM Revision, Creator ID and Creator Revision.
|
|
.Nm
|
|
dumps contents of these SDTs.
|
|
For further information about formats of each table,
|
|
see chapter 5: ACPI Software Programming Model,
|
|
.Dq Advanced Configuration and Power Interface Specification Revision 1.0b
|
|
from Intel/Microsoft/Toshiba.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
There is always a pointer to a physical memory address in RSDT for FACP
|
|
.Pq Fixed ACPI Description Table .
|
|
.Ns \ FACP defines static system information about power management support
|
|
.Pq ACPI Hardware Register Implementation
|
|
such as interrupt mode
|
|
.Pq INT_MODEL ,
|
|
SCI interrupt number, SMI command port
|
|
.Pq SMI_CMD
|
|
and location of ACPI registers.
|
|
FACP also has a pointer to a physical memory address for DSDT,
|
|
which includes information used on the kernel side such as
|
|
PnP, power management support and so on.
|
|
While the other tables are described in fixed format,
|
|
DSDT consists of AML data which compiled from sources
|
|
written in free formated ASL, description language for ACPI.
|
|
When
|
|
.Nm
|
|
outputs DSDT, it disassembles the AML data and
|
|
translates them into ASL.
|
|
.Sh OPTIONS
|
|
The following options are supported by
|
|
.Nm :
|
|
.Bl -tag -width indent
|
|
.It Fl o Ar dsdt_file_for_output
|
|
Stores DSDT data block from physical memory into a file specified in
|
|
.Ar dsdt_file_for_output
|
|
in addition to behavior with no option.
|
|
.It Fl f Ar dsdt_file_for_input
|
|
Interprets AML data in DSDT from a file specified in
|
|
.Ar dsdt_file_for_input
|
|
and dumps them in ASL to standard output.
|
|
.It Fl h
|
|
Displays usage and exit.
|
|
.El
|
|
.Sh EXAMPLES
|
|
This is an example to get a dump of SDTs and a DSDT data file
|
|
simultaneously on a machine that supports ACPI BIOS.
|
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent
|
|
# acpidump -o foo.dsdt > foo.asl
|
|
.Ed
|
|
.Sh BUGS
|
|
In the current implementation,
|
|
.Nm
|
|
doesn't dump any information of Firmware ACPI Control Structure
|
|
.Pq FACS
|
|
specified by a pointer in FACP.
|
|
Some parts of output in ASL are incomplete. To obtain a complete
|
|
output, it would need to change the implementation into another one
|
|
that analyzes a whole DSDT and builds an ACPI namespace as preprocess,
|
|
and then interprets the DSDT again referring to namespace.
