1117521Snjl---------------------------------------- 2193267Sjkim21 May 2009. Summary of changes for version 20090521: 3193267Sjkim 4193267SjkimThis release is available at www.acpica.org/downloads 5193267Sjkim 6193267Sjkim1) ACPI CA Core Subsystem: 7193267Sjkim 8193267SjkimDisabled the preservation of the SCI enable bit in the PM1 control register. 9193267SjkimThe SCI enable bit (bit 0, SCI_EN) is defined by the ACPI specification to be 10193267Sjkima "preserved" bit - "OSPM always preserves this bit position", section 11193267Sjkim4.7.3.2.1. However, some machines fail if this bit is in fact preserved 12193267Sjkimbecause the bit needs to be explicitly set by the OS as a workaround. No 13193267Sjkimmachines fail if the bit is not preserved. Therefore, ACPICA no longer 14193267Sjkimattempts to preserve this bit. 15193267Sjkim 16193267SjkimFixed a problem in AcpiRsGetPciRoutingTableLength where an invalid or 17193267Sjkimincorrectly formed _PRT package could cause a fault. Added validation to 18193267Sjkimensure that each package element is actually a sub-package. 19193267Sjkim 20193267SjkimImplemented a new interface to install or override a single control method, 21193267SjkimAcpiInstallMethod. This interface is useful when debugging in order to repair 22193267Sjkiman existing method or to install a missing method without having to override 23193267Sjkimthe entire ACPI table. See the ACPICA Programmer Reference for use and 24193267Sjkimexamples. Lin Ming, Bob Moore. 25193267Sjkim 26193267SjkimFixed several reference count issues with the DdbHandle object that is 27193267Sjkimcreated from a Load or LoadTable operator. Prevent premature deletion of the 28193267Sjkimobject. Also, mark the object as invalid once the table has been unloaded. 29193267SjkimThis is needed because the handle itself may not be deleted after the table 30193267Sjkimunload, depending on whether it has been stored in a named object by the 31193267Sjkimcaller. Lin Ming. 32193267Sjkim 33193267SjkimFixed a problem with Mutex Sync Levels. Fixed a problem where if multiple 34193267Sjkimmutexes of the same sync level are acquired but then not released in strict 35193267Sjkimopposite order, the internally maintained Current Sync Level becomes confused 36193267Sjkimand can cause subsequent execution errors. ACPICA BZ 471. 37193267Sjkim 38193267SjkimChanged the allowable release order for ASL mutex objects. The ACPI 4.0 39193267Sjkimspecification has been changed to make the SyncLevel for mutex objects more 40193267Sjkimuseful. When releasing a mutex, the SyncLevel of the mutex must now be the 41193267Sjkimsame as the current sync level. This makes more sense than the previous rule 42193267Sjkim(SyncLevel less than or equal). This change updates the code to match the 43193267Sjkimspecification. 44193267Sjkim 45193267SjkimFixed a problem with the local version of the AcpiOsPurgeCache function. The 46193267Sjkim(local) cache must be locked during all cache object deletions. Andrew 47193267SjkimBaumann. 48193267Sjkim 49193267SjkimUpdated the Load operator to use operation region interfaces. This replaces 50193267Sjkimdirect memory mapping with region access calls. Now, all region accesses go 51193267Sjkimthrough the installed region handler as they should. 52193267Sjkim 53193267SjkimSimplified and optimized the NsGetNextNode function. Reduced parameter count 54193267Sjkimand reduced code for this frequently used function. 55193267Sjkim 56193267SjkimExample Code and Data Size: These are the sizes for the OS-independent 57193267Sjkimacpica.lib produced by the Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0 32-bit compiler. The 58193267Sjkimdebug version of the code includes the debug output trace mechanism and has a 59193267Sjkimmuch larger code and data size. 60193267Sjkim 61193267Sjkim Previous Release: 62193267Sjkim Non-Debug Version: 82.8K Code, 17.5K Data, 100.3K Total 63193267Sjkim Debug Version: 158.0K Code, 49.9K Data, 207.9K Total 64193267Sjkim Current Release: 65193267Sjkim Non-Debug Version: 83.4K Code, 17.5K Data, 100.9K Total 66193267Sjkim Debug Version: 158.9K Code, 50.0K Data, 208.9K Total 67193267Sjkim 68193267Sjkim2) iASL Compiler/Disassembler and Tools: 69193267Sjkim 70193267SjkimDisassembler: Fixed some issues with DMAR, HEST, MADT tables. Some problems 71193267Sjkimwith sub-table disassembly and handling invalid sub-tables. Attempt recovery 72193267Sjkimafter an invalid sub-table ID. 73193267Sjkim 74193267Sjkim---------------------------------------- 75193267Sjkim22 April 2009. Summary of changes for version 20090422: 76193267Sjkim 77193267SjkimThis release is available at www.acpica.org/downloads 78193267Sjkim 79193267Sjkim1) ACPI CA Core Subsystem: 80193267Sjkim 81193267SjkimFixed a compatibility issue with the recently released I/O port protection 82193267Sjkimmechanism. For windows compatibility, 1) On a port protection violation, 83193267Sjkimsimply ignore the request and do not return an exception (allow the control 84193267Sjkimmethod to continue execution.) 2) If only part of the request overlaps a 85193267Sjkimprotected port, read/write the individual ports that are not protected. Linux 86193267SjkimBZ 13036. Lin Ming 87193267Sjkim 88193267SjkimEnhanced the execution of the ASL/AML BreakPoint operator so that it actually 89193267Sjkimbreaks into the AML debugger if the debugger is present. This matches the 90193267SjkimACPI-defined behavior. 91193267Sjkim 92193267SjkimFixed several possible warnings related to the use of the configurable 93193267SjkimACPI_THREAD_ID. This type can now be configured as either an integer or a 94193267Sjkimpointer with no warnings. Also fixes several warnings in printf-like 95193267Sjkimstatements for the 64-bit build when the type is configured as a pointer. 96193267SjkimACPICA BZ 766, 767. 97193267Sjkim 98193267SjkimFixed a number of possible warnings when compiling with gcc 4+ (depending on 99193267Sjkimwarning options.) Examples include printf formats, aliasing, unused globals, 100193267Sjkimmissing prototypes, missing switch default statements, use of non-ANSI 101193267Sjkimlibrary functions, use of non-ANSI constructs. See generate/unix/Makefile for 102193267Sjkima list of warning options used with gcc 3 and 4. ACPICA BZ 735. 103193267Sjkim 104193267SjkimExample Code and Data Size: These are the sizes for the OS-independent 105193267Sjkimacpica.lib produced by the Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0 32-bit compiler. The 106193267Sjkimdebug version of the code includes the debug output trace mechanism and has a 107193267Sjkimmuch larger code and data size. 108193267Sjkim 109193267Sjkim Previous Release: 110193267Sjkim Non-Debug Version: 82.6K Code, 17.6K Data, 100.2K Total 111193267Sjkim Debug Version: 157.7K Code, 49.9K Data, 207.6K Total 112193267Sjkim Current Release: 113193267Sjkim Non-Debug Version: 82.8K Code, 17.5K Data, 100.3K Total 114193267Sjkim Debug Version: 158.0K Code, 49.9K Data, 207.9K Total 115193267Sjkim 116193267Sjkim2) iASL Compiler/Disassembler and Tools: 117193267Sjkim 118193267SjkimiASL: Fixed a generation warning from Bison 2.3 and fixed several warnings on 119193267Sjkimthe 64-bit build. 120193267Sjkim 121193267SjkimiASL: Fixed a problem where the Unix/Linux versions of the compiler could not 122193267Sjkimcorrectly digest Windows/DOS formatted files (with CR/LF). 123193267Sjkim 124193267SjkimiASL: Added a new option for "quiet mode" (-va) that produces only the 125193267Sjkimcompilation summary, not individual errors and warnings. Useful for large 126193267Sjkimbatch compilations. 127193267Sjkim 128193267SjkimAcpiExec: Implemented a new option (-z) to enable a forced semaphore/mutex 129193267Sjkimtimeout that can be used to detect hang conditions during execution of AML 130193267Sjkimcode (includes both internal semaphores and AML-defined mutexes and events.) 131193267Sjkim 132193267SjkimAdded new makefiles for the generation of acpica in a generic unix-like 133193267Sjkimenvironment. These makefiles are intended to generate the acpica tools and 134193267Sjkimutilities from the original acpica git source tree structure. 135193267Sjkim 136193267SjkimTest Suites: Updated and cleaned up the documentation files. Updated the 137193267Sjkimcopyrights to 2009, affecting all source files. Use the new version of iASL 138193267Sjkimwith quiet mode. Increased the number of available semaphores in the Windows 139193267SjkimOSL, allowing the aslts to execute fully on Windows. For the Unix OSL, added 140193267Sjkiman alternate implementation of the semaphore timeout to allow aslts to 141193267Sjkimexecute fully on Cygwin. 142193267Sjkim 143193267Sjkim---------------------------------------- 144193267Sjkim20 March 2009. Summary of changes for version 20090320: 145193267Sjkim 146193267Sjkim1) ACPI CA Core Subsystem: 147193267Sjkim 148193267SjkimFixed a possible race condition between AcpiWalkNamespace and dynamic table 149193267Sjkimunloads. Added a reader/writer locking mechanism to allow multiple concurrent 150193267Sjkimnamespace walks (readers), but block a dynamic table unload until it can gain 151193267Sjkimexclusive write access to the namespace. This fixes a problem where a table 152193267Sjkimunload could (possibly catastrophically) delete the portion of the namespace 153193267Sjkimthat is currently being examined by a walk. Adds a new file, utlock.c, that 154193267Sjkimimplements the reader/writer lock mechanism. ACPICA BZ 749. 155193267Sjkim 156193267SjkimFixed a regression introduced in version 20090220 where a change to the FADT 157193267Sjkimhandling could cause the ACPICA subsystem to access non-existent I/O ports. 158193267Sjkim 159193267SjkimModified the handling of FADT register and table (FACS/DSDT) addresses. The 160193267SjkimFADT can contain both 32-bit and 64-bit versions of these addresses. 161193267SjkimPreviously, the 64-bit versions were favored, meaning that if both 32 and 64 162193267Sjkimversions were valid, but not equal, the 64-bit version was used. This was 163193267Sjkimfound to cause some machines to fail. Now, in this case, the 32-bit version 164193267Sjkimis used instead. This now matches the Windows behavior. 165193267Sjkim 166193267SjkimImplemented a new mechanism to protect certain I/O ports. Provides Microsoft 167193267Sjkimcompatibility and protects the standard PC I/O ports from access via AML 168193267Sjkimcode. Adds a new file, hwvalid.c 169193267Sjkim 170193267SjkimFixed a possible extraneous warning message from the FADT support. The 171193267Sjkimmessage warns of a 32/64 length mismatch between the legacy and GAS 172193267Sjkimdefinitions for a register. 173193267Sjkim 174193267SjkimRemoved the obsolete AcpiOsValidateAddress OSL interface. This interface is 175193267Sjkimmade obsolete by the port protection mechanism above. It was previously used 176193267Sjkimto validate the entire address range of an operation region, which could be 177193267Sjkimincorrect if the range included illegal ports, but fields within the 178193267Sjkimoperation region did not actually access those ports. Validation is now 179193267Sjkimperformed on a per-field basis instead of the entire region. 180193267Sjkim 181193267SjkimModified the handling of the PM1 Status Register ignored bit (bit 11.) 182193267SjkimIgnored bits must be "preserved" according to the ACPI spec. Usually, this 183193267Sjkimmeans a read/modify/write when writing to the register. However, for status 184193267Sjkimregisters, writing a one means clear the event. Writing a zero means preserve 185193267Sjkimthe event (do not clear.) This behavior is clarified in the ACPI 4.0 spec, 186193267Sjkimand the ACPICA code now simply always writes a zero to the ignored bit. 187193267Sjkim 188193267SjkimModified the handling of ignored bits for the PM1 A/B Control Registers. As 189193267Sjkimper the ACPI specification, for the control registers, preserve 190193267Sjkim(read/modify/write) all bits that are defined as either reserved or ignored. 191193267Sjkim 192193267SjkimUpdated the handling of write-only bits in the PM1 A/B Control Registers. 193193267SjkimWhen reading the register, zero the write-only bits as per the ACPI spec. 194193267SjkimACPICA BZ 443. Lin Ming. 195193267Sjkim 196193267SjkimRemoved "Linux" from the list of supported _OSI strings. Linux no longer 197193267Sjkimwants to reply true to this request. The Windows strings are the only paths 198193267Sjkimthrough the AML that are tested and known to work properly. 199193267Sjkim 200193267Sjkim Previous Release: 201193267Sjkim Non-Debug Version: 82.0K Code, 17.5K Data, 99.5K Total 202193267Sjkim Debug Version: 156.9K Code, 49.8K Data, 206.7K Total 203193267Sjkim Current Release: 204193267Sjkim Non-Debug Version: 82.6K Code, 17.6K Data, 100.2K Total 205193267Sjkim Debug Version: 157.7K Code, 49.9K Data, 207.6K Total 206193267Sjkim 207193267Sjkim2) iASL Compiler/Disassembler and Tools: 208193267Sjkim 209193267SjkimAcpiexec: Split the large aeexec.c file into two new files, aehandlers.c and 210193267Sjkimaetables.c 211193267Sjkim 212193267Sjkim---------------------------------------- 213193267Sjkim20 February 2009. Summary of changes for version 20090220: 214193267Sjkim 215193267Sjkim1) ACPI CA Core Subsystem: 216193267Sjkim 217193267SjkimOptimized the ACPI register locking. Removed locking for reads from the ACPI 218193267Sjkimbit registers in PM1 Status, Enable, Control, and PM2 Control. The lock is 219193267Sjkimnot required when reading the single-bit registers. The 220193267SjkimAcpiGetRegisterUnlocked function is no longer needed and has been removed. 221193267SjkimThis will improve performance for reads on these registers. ACPICA BZ 760. 222193267Sjkim 223193267SjkimFixed the parameter validation for AcpiRead/Write. Now return 224193267SjkimAE_BAD_PARAMETER if the input register pointer is null, and AE_BAD_ADDRESS if 225193267Sjkimthe register has an address of zero. Previously, these cases simply returned 226193267SjkimAE_OK. For optional registers such as PM1B status/enable/control, the caller 227193267Sjkimshould check for a valid register address before calling. ACPICA BZ 748. 228193267Sjkim 229193267SjkimRenamed the external ACPI bit register access functions. Renamed 230193267SjkimAcpiGetRegister and AcpiSetRegister to clarify the purpose of these 231193267Sjkimfunctions. The new names are AcpiReadBitRegister and AcpiWriteBitRegister. 232193267SjkimAlso, restructured the code for these functions by simplifying the code path 233193267Sjkimand condensing duplicate code to reduce code size. 234193267Sjkim 235193267SjkimAdded new functions to transparently handle the possibly split PM1 A/B 236193267Sjkimregisters. AcpiHwReadMultiple and AcpiHwWriteMultiple. These two functions 237193267Sjkimnow handle the split registers for PM1 Status, Enable, and Control. ACPICA BZ 238193267Sjkim746. 239193267Sjkim 240193267SjkimAdded a function to handle the PM1 control registers, AcpiHwWritePm1Control. 241193267SjkimThis function writes both of the PM1 control registers (A/B). These registers 242193267Sjkimare different than the PM1 A/B status and enable registers in that different 243193267Sjkimvalues can be written to the A/B registers. Most notably, the SLP_TYP bits 244193267Sjkimcan be different, as per the values returned from the _Sx predefined methods. 245193267Sjkim 246193267SjkimRemoved an extra register write within AcpiHwClearAcpiStatus. This function 247193267Sjkimwas writing an optional PM1B status register twice. The existing call to the 248193267Sjkimlow-level AcpiHwRegisterWrite automatically handles a possibly split PM1 A/B 249193267Sjkimregister. ACPICA BZ 751. 250193267Sjkim 251193267SjkimSplit out the PM1 Status registers from the FADT. Added new globals for these 252193267Sjkimregisters (A/B), similar to the way the PM1 Enable registers are handled. 253193267SjkimInstead of overloading the FADT Event Register blocks. This makes the code 254193267Sjkimclearer and less prone to error. 255193267Sjkim 256193267SjkimFixed the warning message for when the platform contains too many ACPI tables 257193267Sjkimfor the default size of the global root table data structure. The calculation 258193267Sjkimfor the truncation value was incorrect. 259193267Sjkim 260193267SjkimRemoved the ACPI_GET_OBJECT_TYPE macro. Removed all instances of this 261193267Sjkimobsolete macro, since it is now a simple reference to ->common.type. There 262193267Sjkimwere about 150 invocations of the macro across 41 files. ACPICA BZ 755. 263193267Sjkim 264193267SjkimRemoved the redundant ACPI_BITREG_SLEEP_TYPE_B. This type is the same as 265193267SjkimTYPE_A. Removed this and all related instances. Renamed SLEEP_TYPE_A to 266193267Sjkimsimply SLEEP_TYPE. ACPICA BZ 754. 267193267Sjkim 268193267SjkimConditionally compile the AcpiSetFirmwareWakingVector64 function. This 269193267Sjkimfunction is only needed on 64-bit host operating systems and is thus not 270193267Sjkimincluded for 32-bit hosts. 271193267Sjkim 272193267SjkimDebug output: print the input and result for invocations of the _OSI reserved 273193267Sjkimcontrol method via the ACPI_LV_INFO debug level. Also, reduced some of the 274193267Sjkimverbosity of this debug level. Len Brown. 275193267Sjkim 276193267SjkimExample Code and Data Size: These are the sizes for the OS-independent 277193267Sjkimacpica.lib produced by the Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0 32-bit compiler. The 278193267Sjkimdebug version of the code includes the debug output trace mechanism and has a 279193267Sjkimmuch larger code and data size. 280193267Sjkim 281193267Sjkim Previous Release: 282193267Sjkim Non-Debug Version: 82.3K Code, 17.5K Data, 99.8K Total 283193267Sjkim Debug Version: 157.3K Code, 49.8K Data, 207.1K Total 284193267Sjkim Current Release: 285193267Sjkim Non-Debug Version: 82.0K Code, 17.5K Data, 99.5K Total 286193267Sjkim Debug Version: 156.9K Code, 49.8K Data, 206.7K Total 287193267Sjkim 288193267Sjkim2) iASL Compiler/Disassembler and Tools: 289193267Sjkim 290193267SjkimDisassembler: Decode the FADT PM_Profile field. Emit ascii names for the 291193267Sjkimvarious legal performance profiles. 292193267Sjkim 293193267Sjkim---------------------------------------- 294193267Sjkim23 January 2009. Summary of changes for version 20090123: 295193267Sjkim 296193267Sjkim1) ACPI CA Core Subsystem: 297193267Sjkim 298193267SjkimAdded the 2009 copyright to all module headers and signons. This affects 299193267Sjkimvirtually every file in the ACPICA core subsystem, the iASL compiler, and 300193267Sjkimthe tools/utilities. 301193267Sjkim 302193267SjkimImplemented a change to allow the host to override any ACPI table, including 303193267Sjkimdynamically loaded tables. Previously, only the DSDT could be replaced by the 304193267Sjkimhost. With this change, the AcpiOsTableOverride interface is called for each 305193267Sjkimtable found in the RSDT/XSDT during ACPICA initialization, and also whenever 306193267Sjkima table is dynamically loaded via the AML Load operator. 307193267Sjkim 308193267SjkimUpdated FADT flag definitions, especially the Boot Architecture flags. 309193267Sjkim 310193267SjkimDebugger: For the Find command, automatically pad the input ACPI name with 311193267Sjkimunderscores if the name is shorter than 4 characters. This enables a match 312193267Sjkimwith the actual namespace entry which is itself padded with underscores. 313193267Sjkim 314193267SjkimExample Code and Data Size: These are the sizes for the OS-independent 315193267Sjkimacpica.lib produced by the Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0 32-bit compiler. The 316193267Sjkimdebug version of the code includes the debug output trace mechanism and has a 317193267Sjkimmuch larger code and data size. 318193267Sjkim 319193267Sjkim Previous Release: 320193267Sjkim Non-Debug Version: 82.3K Code, 17.4K Data, 99.7K Total 321193267Sjkim Debug Version: 157.1K Code, 49.7K Data, 206.8K Total 322193267Sjkim Current Release: 323193267Sjkim Non-Debug Version: 82.3K Code, 17.5K Data, 99.8K Total 324193267Sjkim Debug Version: 157.3K Code, 49.8K Data, 207.1K Total 325193267Sjkim 326193267Sjkim2) iASL Compiler/Disassembler and Tools: 327193267Sjkim 328193267SjkimFix build error under Bison-2.4. 329193267Sjkim 330193267SjkimDissasembler: Enhanced FADT support. Added decoding of the Boot Architecture 331193267Sjkimflags. Now decode all flags, regardless of the FADT version. Flag output 332193267Sjkimincludes the FADT version which first defined each flag. 333193267Sjkim 334193267SjkimThe iASL -g option now dumps the RSDT to a file (in addition to the FADT and 335193267SjkimDSDT). Windows only. 336193267Sjkim 337193267Sjkim---------------------------------------- 338193267Sjkim04 December 2008. Summary of changes for version 20081204: 339193267Sjkim 340193267Sjkim1) ACPI CA Core Subsystem: 341193267Sjkim 342193267SjkimThe ACPICA Programmer Reference has been completely updated and revamped for 343193267Sjkimthis release. This includes updates to the external interfaces, OSL 344193267Sjkiminterfaces, the overview sections, and the debugger reference. 345193267Sjkim 346193267SjkimSeveral new ACPICA interfaces have been implemented and documented in the 347193267Sjkimprogrammer reference: 348193267SjkimAcpiReset - Writes the reset value to the FADT-defined reset register. 349193267SjkimAcpiDisableAllGpes - Disable all available GPEs. 350193267SjkimAcpiEnableAllRuntimeGpes - Enable all available runtime GPEs. 351193267SjkimAcpiGetGpeDevice - Get the GPE block device associated with a GPE. 352193267SjkimAcpiGbl_CurrentGpeCount - Tracks the current number of available GPEs. 353193267SjkimAcpiRead - Low-level read ACPI register (was HwLowLevelRead.) 354193267SjkimAcpiWrite - Low-level write ACPI register (was HwLowLevelWrite.) 355193267Sjkim 356193267SjkimMost of the public ACPI hardware-related interfaces have been moved to a new 357193267Sjkimfile, components/hardware/hwxface.c 358193267Sjkim 359193267SjkimEnhanced the FADT parsing and low-level ACPI register access: The ACPI 360193267Sjkimregister lengths within the FADT are now used, and the low level ACPI 361193267Sjkimregister access no longer hardcodes the ACPI register lengths. Given that 362193267Sjkimthere may be some risk in actually trusting the FADT register lengths, a run- 363193267Sjkimtime option was added to fall back to the default hardcoded lengths if the 364193267SjkimFADT proves to contain incorrect values - UseDefaultRegisterWidths. This 365193267Sjkimoption is set to true for now, and a warning is issued if a suspicious FADT 366193267Sjkimregister length is overridden with the default value. 367193267Sjkim 368193267SjkimFixed a reference count issue in NsRepairObject. This problem was introduced 369193267Sjkimin version 20081031 as part of a fix to repair Buffer objects within 370193267SjkimPackages. Lin Ming. 371193267Sjkim 372193267SjkimAdded semaphore support to the Linux/Unix application OS-services layer 373193267Sjkim(OSL). ACPICA BZ 448. Lin Ming. 374193267Sjkim 375193267SjkimAdded the ACPI_MUTEX_TYPE configuration option to select whether mutexes will 376193267Sjkimbe implemented in the OSL, or will binary semaphores be used instead. 377193267Sjkim 378193267SjkimExample Code and Data Size: These are the sizes for the OS-independent 379193267Sjkimacpica.lib produced by the Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0 32-bit compiler. The 380193267Sjkimdebug version of the code includes the debug output trace mechanism and has a 381193267Sjkimmuch larger code and data size. 382193267Sjkim 383193267Sjkim Previous Release: 384193267Sjkim Non-Debug Version: 81.7K Code, 17.3K Data, 99.0K Total 385193267Sjkim Debug Version: 156.4K Code, 49.4K Data, 205.8K Total 386193267Sjkim Current Release: 387193267Sjkim Non-Debug Version: 82.3K Code, 17.4K Data, 99.7K Total 388193267Sjkim Debug Version: 157.1K Code, 49.7K Data, 206.8K Total 389193267Sjkim 390193267Sjkim2) iASL Compiler/Disassembler and Tools: 391193267Sjkim 392193267SjkimiASL: Completed the '-e' option to include additional ACPI tables in order to 393193267Sjkimaid with disassembly and External statement generation. ACPICA BZ 742. Lin 394193267SjkimMing. 395193267Sjkim 396193267SjkimiASL: Removed the "named object in while loop" error. The compiler cannot 397193267Sjkimdetermine how many times a loop will execute. ACPICA BZ 730. 398193267Sjkim 399193267SjkimDisassembler: Implemented support for FADT revision 2 (MS extension). ACPICA 400193267SjkimBZ 743. 401193267Sjkim 402193267SjkimDisassembler: Updates for several ACPI data tables (HEST, EINJ, and MCFG). 403193267Sjkim 404193267Sjkim---------------------------------------- 405193267Sjkim31 October 2008. Summary of changes for version 20081031: 406193267Sjkim 407193267Sjkim1) ACPI CA Core Subsystem: 408193267Sjkim 409193267SjkimRestructured the ACPICA header files into public/private. acpi.h now includes 410193267Sjkimonly the "public" acpica headers. All other acpica headers are "private" and 411193267Sjkimshould not be included by acpica users. One new file, accommon.h is used to 412193267Sjkiminclude the commonly used private headers for acpica code generation. Future 413193267Sjkimplans include moving all private headers to a new subdirectory. 414193267Sjkim 415193267SjkimImplemented an automatic Buffer->String return value conversion for 416193267Sjkimpredefined ACPI methods. For these methods (such as _BIF), added automatic 417193267Sjkimconversion for return objects that are required to be a String, but a Buffer 418193267Sjkimwas found instead. This can happen when reading string battery data from an 419193267Sjkimoperation region, because it used to be difficult to convert the data from 420193267Sjkimbuffer to string from within the ASL. Ensures that the host OS is provided 421193267Sjkimwith a valid null-terminated string. Linux BZ 11822. 422193267Sjkim 423193267SjkimUpdated the FACS waking vector interfaces. Split AcpiSetFirmwareWakingVector 424193267Sjkiminto two: one for the 32-bit vector, another for the 64-bit vector. This is 425193267Sjkimrequired because the host OS must setup the wake much differently for each 426193267Sjkimvector (real vs. protected mode, etc.) and the interface itself should not be 427193267Sjkimdeciding which vector to use. Also, eliminated the GetFirmwareWakingVector 428193267Sjkiminterface, as it served no purpose (only the firmware reads the vector, OS 429193267Sjkimonly writes the vector.) ACPICA BZ 731. 430193267Sjkim 431193267SjkimImplemented a mechanism to escape infinite AML While() loops. Added a loop 432193267Sjkimcounter to force exit from AML While loops if the count becomes too large. 433193267SjkimThis can occur in poorly written AML when the hardware does not respond 434193267Sjkimwithin a while loop and the loop does not implement a timeout. The maximum 435193267Sjkimloop count is configurable. A new exception code is returned when a loop is 436193267Sjkimbroken, AE_AML_INFINITE_LOOP. Alexey Starikovskiy, Bob Moore. 437193267Sjkim 438193267SjkimOptimized the execution of AML While loops. Previously, a control state 439193267Sjkimobject was allocated and freed for each execution of the loop. The 440193267Sjkimoptimization is to simply reuse the control state for each iteration. This 441193267Sjkimspeeds up the raw loop execution time by about 5%. 442193267Sjkim 443193267SjkimEnhanced the implicit return mechanism. For Windows compatibility, return an 444193267Sjkimimplicit integer of value zero for methods that contain no executable code. 445193267SjkimSuch methods are seen in the field as stubs (presumably), and can cause 446193267Sjkimdrivers to fail if they expect a return value. Lin Ming. 447193267Sjkim 448193267SjkimAllow multiple backslashes as root prefixes in namepaths. In a fully 449193267Sjkimqualified namepath, allow multiple backslash prefixes. This can happen (and 450193267Sjkimis seen in the field) because of the use of a double-backslash in strings 451193267Sjkim(since backslash is the escape character) causing confusion. ACPICA BZ 739 452193267SjkimLin Ming. 453193267Sjkim 454193267SjkimEmit a warning if two different FACS or DSDT tables are discovered in the 455193267SjkimFADT. Checks if there are two valid but different addresses for the FACS and 456193267SjkimDSDT within the FADT (mismatch between the 32-bit and 64-bit fields.) 457193267Sjkim 458193267SjkimConsolidated the method argument count validation code. Merged the code that 459193267Sjkimvalidates control method argument counts into the predefined validation 460193267Sjkimmodule. Eliminates possible multiple warnings for incorrect argument counts. 461193267Sjkim 462193267SjkimImplemented ACPICA example code. Includes code for ACPICA initialization, 463193267Sjkimhandler installation, and calling a control method. Available at 464193267Sjkimsource/tools/examples. 465193267Sjkim 466193267SjkimAdded a global pointer for FACS table to simplify internal FACS access. Use 467193267Sjkimthe global pointer instead of using AcpiGetTableByIndex for each FACS access. 468193267SjkimThis simplifies the code for the Global Lock and the Firmware Waking 469193267SjkimVector(s). 470193267Sjkim 471193267SjkimExample Code and Data Size: These are the sizes for the OS-independent 472193267Sjkimacpica.lib produced by the Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0 32-bit compiler. The 473193267Sjkimdebug version of the code includes the debug output trace mechanism and has a 474193267Sjkimmuch larger code and data size. 475193267Sjkim 476193267Sjkim Previous Release: 477193267Sjkim Non-Debug Version: 81.2K Code, 17.0K Data, 98.2K Total 478193267Sjkim Debug Version: 155.8K Code, 49.1K Data, 204.9K Total 479193267Sjkim Current Release: 480193267Sjkim Non-Debug Version: 81.7K Code, 17.3K Data, 99.0K Total 481193267Sjkim Debug Version: 156.4K Code, 49.4K Data, 205.8K Total 482193267Sjkim 483193267Sjkim2) iASL Compiler/Disassembler and Tools: 484193267Sjkim 485193267SjkimiASL: Improved disassembly of external method calls. Added the -e option to 486193267Sjkimallow the inclusion of additional ACPI tables to help with the disassembly of 487193267Sjkimmethod invocations and the generation of external declarations during the 488193267Sjkimdisassembly. Certain external method invocations cannot be disassembled 489193267Sjkimproperly without the actual declaration of the method. Use the -e option to 490193267Sjkiminclude the table where the external method(s) are actually declared. Most 491193267Sjkimuseful for disassembling SSDTs that make method calls back to the master 492193267SjkimDSDT. Lin Ming. Example: To disassemble an SSDT with calls to DSDT: iasl -d 493193267Sjkim-e dsdt.aml ssdt1.aml 494193267Sjkim 495193267SjkimiASL: Fix to allow references to aliases within ASL namepaths. Fixes a 496193267Sjkimproblem where the use of an alias within a namepath would result in a not 497193267Sjkimfound error or cause the compiler to fault. Also now allows forward 498193267Sjkimreferences from the Alias operator itself. ACPICA BZ 738. 499193267Sjkim 500193267Sjkim---------------------------------------- 501193267Sjkim26 September 2008. Summary of changes for version 20080926: 502193267Sjkim 503193267Sjkim1) ACPI CA Core Subsystem: 504193267Sjkim 505193267SjkimDesigned and implemented a mechanism to validate predefined ACPI methods and 506193267Sjkimobjects. This code validates the predefined ACPI objects (objects whose names 507193267Sjkimstart with underscore) that appear in the namespace, at the time they are 508193267Sjkimevaluated. The argument count and the type of the returned object are 509193267Sjkimvalidated against the ACPI specification. The purpose of this validation is 510193267Sjkimto detect problems with the BIOS-implemented predefined ACPI objects before 511193267Sjkimthe results are returned to the ACPI-related drivers. Future enhancements may 512193267Sjkiminclude actual repair of incorrect return objects where possible. Two new 513193267Sjkimfiles are nspredef.c and acpredef.h. 514193267Sjkim 515193267SjkimFixed a fault in the AML parser if a memory allocation fails during the Op 516193267Sjkimcompletion routine AcpiPsCompleteThisOp. Lin Ming. ACPICA BZ 492. 517193267Sjkim 518193267SjkimFixed an issue with implicit return compatibility. This change improves the 519193267Sjkimimplicit return mechanism to be more compatible with the MS interpreter. Lin 520193267SjkimMing, ACPICA BZ 349. 521193267Sjkim 522193267SjkimImplemented support for zero-length buffer-to-string conversions. Allow zero 523193267Sjkimlength strings during interpreter buffer-to-string conversions. For example, 524193267Sjkimduring the ToDecimalString and ToHexString operators, as well as implicit 525193267Sjkimconversions. Fiodor Suietov, ACPICA BZ 585. 526193267Sjkim 527193267SjkimFixed two possible memory leaks in the error exit paths of 528193267SjkimAcpiUtUpdateObjectReference and AcpiUtWalkPackageTree. These functions are 529193267Sjkimsimilar in that they use a stack of state objects in order to eliminate 530193267Sjkimrecursion. The stack must be fully unwound and deallocated if an error 531193267Sjkimoccurs. Lin Ming. ACPICA BZ 383. 532193267Sjkim 533193267SjkimRemoved the unused ACPI_BITREG_WAKE_ENABLE definition and entry in the global 534193267SjkimACPI register table. This bit does not exist and is unused. Lin Ming, Bob 535193267SjkimMoore ACPICA BZ 442. 536193267Sjkim 537193267SjkimRemoved the obsolete version number in module headers. Removed the 538193267Sjkim"$Revision" number that appeared in each module header. This version number 539193267Sjkimwas useful under SourceSafe and CVS, but has no meaning under git. It is not 540193267Sjkimonly incorrect, it could also be misleading. 541193267Sjkim 542193267SjkimExample Code and Data Size: These are the sizes for the OS-independent 543193267Sjkimacpica.lib produced by the Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0 32-bit compiler. The 544193267Sjkimdebug version of the code includes the debug output trace mechanism and has a 545193267Sjkimmuch larger code and data size. 546193267Sjkim 547193267Sjkim Previous Release: 548193267Sjkim Non-Debug Version: 79.7K Code, 16.4K Data, 96.1K Total 549193267Sjkim Debug Version: 153.7K Code, 48.2K Data, 201.9K Total 550193267Sjkim Current Release: 551193267Sjkim Non-Debug Version: 81.2K Code, 17.0K Data, 98.2K Total 552193267Sjkim Debug Version: 155.8K Code, 49.1K Data, 204.9K Total 553193267Sjkim 554193267Sjkim---------------------------------------- 555193267Sjkim29 August 2008. Summary of changes for version 20080829: 556193267Sjkim 557193267Sjkim1) ACPI CA Core Subsystem: 558193267Sjkim 559193267SjkimCompleted a major cleanup of the internal ACPI_OPERAND_OBJECT of type 560193267SjkimReference. Changes include the elimination of cheating on the Object field 561193267Sjkimfor the DdbHandle subtype, addition of a reference class field to 562193267Sjkimdifferentiate the various reference types (instead of an AML opcode), and the 563193267Sjkimcleanup of debug output for this object. Lin Ming, Bob Moore. BZ 723 564193267Sjkim 565193267SjkimReduce an error to a warning for an incorrect method argument count. 566193267SjkimPreviously aborted with an error if too few arguments were passed to a 567193267Sjkimcontrol method via the external ACPICA interface. Now issue a warning instead 568193267Sjkimand continue. Handles the case where the method inadvertently declares too 569193267Sjkimmany arguments, but does not actually use the extra ones. Applies mainly to 570193267Sjkimthe predefined methods. Lin Ming. Linux BZ 11032. 571193267Sjkim 572193267SjkimDisallow the evaluation of named object types with no intrinsic value. Return 573193267SjkimAE_TYPE for objects that have no value and therefore evaluation is undefined: 574193267SjkimDevice, Event, Mutex, Region, Thermal, and Scope. Previously, evaluation of 575193267Sjkimthese types were allowed, but an exception would be generated at some point 576193267Sjkimduring the evaluation. Now, the error is generated up front. 577193267Sjkim 578193267SjkimFixed a possible memory leak in the AcpiNsGetExternalPathname function 579193267Sjkim(nsnames.c). Fixes a leak in the error exit path. 580193267Sjkim 581193267SjkimRemoved the obsolete debug levels ACPI_DB_WARN and ACPI_DB_ERROR. These debug 582193267Sjkimlevels were made obsolete by the ACPI_WARNING, ACPI_ERROR, and ACPI_EXCEPTION 583193267Sjkiminterfaces. Also added ACPI_DB_EVENTS to correspond with the existing 584193267SjkimACPI_LV_EVENTS. 585193267Sjkim 586193267SjkimRemoved obsolete and/or unused exception codes from the acexcep.h header. 587193267SjkimThere is the possibility that certain device drivers may be affected if they 588193267Sjkimuse any of these exceptions. 589193267Sjkim 590193267SjkimThe ACPICA documentation has been added to the public git source tree, under 591193267Sjkimacpica/documents. Included are the ACPICA programmer reference, the iASL 592193267Sjkimcompiler reference, and the changes.txt release logfile. 593193267Sjkim 594193267SjkimExample Code and Data Size: These are the sizes for the OS-independent 595193267Sjkimacpica.lib produced by the Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0 32-bit compiler. The 596193267Sjkimdebug version of the code includes the debug output trace mechanism and has a 597193267Sjkimmuch larger code and data size. 598193267Sjkim 599193267Sjkim Previous Release: 600193267Sjkim Non-Debug Version: 79.7K Code, 16.4K Data, 96.1K Total 601193267Sjkim Debug Version: 153.9K Code, 48.4K Data, 202.3K Total 602193267Sjkim Current Release: 603193267Sjkim Non-Debug Version: 79.7K Code, 16.4K Data, 96.1K Total 604193267Sjkim Debug Version: 153.7K Code, 48.2K Data, 201.9K Total 605193267Sjkim 606193267Sjkim2) iASL Compiler/Disassembler and Tools: 607193267Sjkim 608193267SjkimAllow multiple argument counts for the predefined _SCP method. ACPI 3.0 609193267Sjkimdefines _SCP with 3 arguments. Previous versions defined it with only 1 610193267Sjkimargument. iASL now allows both definitions. 611193267Sjkim 612193267SjkimiASL/disassembler: avoid infinite loop on bad ACPI tables. Check for zero- 613193267Sjkimlength subtables when disassembling ACPI tables. Also fixed a couple of 614193267Sjkimerrors where a full 16-bit table type field was not extracted from the input 615193267Sjkimproperly. 616193267Sjkim 617193267Sjkimacpisrc: Improve comment counting mechanism for generating source code 618193267Sjkimstatistics. Count first and last lines of multi-line comments as whitespace, 619193267Sjkimnot comment lines. Handle Linux legal header in addition to standard acpica 620193267Sjkimheader. 621193267Sjkim 622193267Sjkim---------------------------------------- 623193267Sjkim 624193267Sjkim29 July 2008. Summary of changes for version 20080729: 625193267Sjkim 626193267SjkimThis release is available at http://acpica.org/downloads 627193267SjkimDirect git access via http://www.acpica.org/repos/acpica.git 628193267Sjkim 629193267Sjkim1) ACPI CA Core Subsystem: 630193267Sjkim 631193267SjkimFix a possible deadlock in the GPE dispatch. Remove call to 632193267SjkimAcpiHwDisableAllGpes during wake in AcpiEvGpeDispatch. This call will attempt 633193267Sjkimto acquire the GPE lock but can deadlock since the GPE lock is already held 634193267Sjkimat dispatch time. This code was introduced in version 20060831 as a response 635193267Sjkimto Linux BZ 6881 and has since been removed from Linux. 636193267Sjkim 637193267SjkimAdd a function to dereference returned reference objects. Examines the return 638193267Sjkimobject from a call to AcpiEvaluateObject. Any Index or RefOf references are 639193267Sjkimautomatically dereferenced in an attempt to return something useful (these 640193267Sjkimreference types cannot be converted into an external ACPI_OBJECT.) Provides 641193267SjkimMS compatibility. Lin Ming, Bob Moore. Linux BZ 11105 642193267Sjkim 643193267Sjkimx2APIC support: changes for MADT and SRAT ACPI tables. There are 2 new 644193267Sjkimsubtables for the MADT and one new subtable for the SRAT. Includes 645193267Sjkimdisassembler and AcpiSrc support. Data from the Intel 64 Architecture x2APIC 646193267SjkimSpecification, June 2008. 647193267Sjkim 648193267SjkimAdditional error checking for pathname utilities. Add error check after all 649193267Sjkimcalls to AcpiNsGetPathnameLength. Add status return from 650193267SjkimAcpiNsBuildExternalPath and check after all calls. Add parameter validation 651193267Sjkimto AcpiUtInitializeBuffer. Reported by and initial patch by Ingo Molnar. 652193267Sjkim 653193267SjkimReturn status from the global init function AcpiUtGlobalInitialize. This is 654193267Sjkimused by both the kernel subsystem and the utilities such as iASL compiler. 655193267SjkimThe function could possibly fail when the caches are initialized. Yang Yi. 656193267Sjkim 657193267SjkimAdd a function to decode reference object types to strings. Created for 658193267Sjkimimproved error messages. 659193267Sjkim 660193267SjkimImprove object conversion error messages. Better error messages during object 661193267Sjkimconversion from internal to the external ACPI_OBJECT.

Fixes a problem 679193267Sjkimintroduced in version 20080701. If the object being evaluated (via execute 680193267Sjkimcommand) is not a method, the debugger can hang while trying to obtain non- 681193267Sjkimexistent parameters. 682193267Sjkim 683193267SjkimiASL: relax error for using reserved "_T_x" identifiers. These names can 684193267Sjkimappear in a disassembled ASL file if they were emitted by the original 685193267Sjkimcompiler. Instead of issuing an error or warning and forcing the user to 686193267Sjkimmanually change these names, issue a remark instead. 687193267Sjkim 688193267SjkimiASL: error if named object created in while loop. Emit an error if any named 689193267Sjkimobject is created within a While loop. If allowed, this code will generate a 690193267Sjkimrun-time error on the second iteration of the loop when an attempt is made to 691193267Sjkimcreate the same named object twice. ACPICA bugzilla 730. 692193267Sjkim 693193267SjkimiASL: Support absolute pathnames for include files. Add support for absolute 694193267Sjkimpathnames within the Include operator. previously, only relative pathnames 695193267Sjkimwere supported. 696193267Sjkim 697193267SjkimiASL: Enforce minimum 1 interrupt in interrupt macro and Resource Descriptor. 698193267SjkimThe ACPI spec requires one interrupt minimum. BZ 423 699193267Sjkim 700193267SjkimiASL: Handle a missing ResourceSource arg, with a present SourceIndex. 701193267SjkimHandles the case for the Interrupt Resource Descriptor where 702193267Sjkimthe ResourceSource argument is omitted but ResourceSourceIndex 703193267Sjkimis present. Now leave room for the Index. BZ 426 704193267Sjkim 705193267SjkimiASL: Prevent error message if CondRefOf target does not exist. Fixes cases 706193267Sjkimwhere an error message is emitted if the target does not exist. BZ 516 707193267Sjkim 708193267SjkimiASL: Fix broken -g option (get Windows ACPI tables).

Correctly handle the case where 712193267Sjkimthe EOF happens immediately after the last table in the input file. Print 713193267Sjkimcompletion message. Previously, no message was displayed in this case. 714193267Sjkim 715193267Sjkim---------------------------------------- 716193267Sjkim01 July 2008. Summary of changes for version 20080701: 717193267Sjkim 718193267SjkimThis release is available at http://acpica.org/downloads 719193267SjkimDirect git access via http://www.acpica.org/repos/acpica.git 720193267Sjkim 721193267Sjkim0) Git source tree / acpica.org 722193267Sjkim 723193267SjkimFixed a problem where a git-clone from http would not transfer the entire 724193267Sjkimsource tree. 725193267Sjkim 726193267Sjkim1) ACPI CA Core Subsystem: 727193267Sjkim 728193267SjkimImplemented a "careful" GPE disable in AcpiEvDisableGpe, only modify one 729193267Sjkimenable bit. Now performs a read-change-write of the enable register instead 730193267Sjkimof simply writing out the cached enable mask. This will prevent inadvertent 731193267Sjkimenabling of GPEs if a rogue GPE is received during initialization (before GPE 732193267Sjkimhandlers are installed.) 733193267Sjkim 734193267SjkimImplemented a copy for dynamically loaded tables. Previously, dynamically 735193267Sjkimloaded tables were simply mapped - but on some machines this memory is 736193267Sjkimcorrupted after suspend. Now copy the table to a local buffer. For the 737193267SjkimOpRegion case, added checksum verify. Use the table length from the table 738193267Sjkimheader, not the region length. For the Buffer case, use the table length 739193267Sjkimalso. Dennis Noordsij, Bob Moore. BZ 10734 740193267Sjkim 741193267SjkimFixed a problem where the same ACPI table could not be dynamically loaded and 742193267Sjkimunloaded more than once. Without this change, a table cannot be loaded again 743193267Sjkimonce it has been loaded/unloaded one time. The current mechanism does not 744193267Sjkimunregister a table upon an unload. During a load, if the same table is found, 745193267Sjkimthis no longer returns an exception. BZ 722 746193267Sjkim 747193267SjkimFixed a problem where the wrong descriptor length was calculated for the 748193267SjkimEndTag descriptor in 64-bit mode. The "minimal" descriptors such as EndTag 749193267Sjkimare calculated as 12 bytes long, but the actual length in the internal 750193267Sjkimdescriptor is 16 because of the round-up to 8 on the 64-bit build. Reported 751193267Sjkimby Linn Crosetto. BZ 728 752193267Sjkim 753193267SjkimFixed a possible memory leak in the Unload operator. The DdbHandle returned 754193267Sjkimby Load() did not have its reference count decremented during unload, leading 755193267Sjkimto a memory leak. Lin Ming. BZ 727 756193267Sjkim 757193267SjkimFixed a possible memory leak when deleting thermal/processor objects. Any 758193267Sjkimassociated notify handlers (and objects) were not being deleted. Fiodor 759193267SjkimSuietov. BZ 506 760193267Sjkim 761193267SjkimFixed the ordering of the ASCII names in the global mutex table to match the 762193267Sjkimactual mutex IDs. Used by AcpiUtGetMutexName, a function used for debug only. 763193267SjkimVegard Nossum. BZ 726 764193267Sjkim 765193267SjkimEnhanced the AcpiGetObjectInfo interface to return the number of required 766193267Sjkimarguments if the object is a control method. Added this call to the debugger 767193267Sjkimso the proper number of default arguments are passed to a method. This 768193267Sjkimprevents a warning when executing methods from AcpiExec. 769193267Sjkim 770193267SjkimAdded a check for an invalid handle in AcpiGetObjectInfo. Return 771193267SjkimAE_BAD_PARAMETER if input handle is invalid. BZ 474 772193267Sjkim 773193267SjkimFixed an extraneous warning from exconfig.c on the 64-bit build. 774193267Sjkim 775193267SjkimExample Code and Data Size: These are the sizes for the OS-independent 776193267Sjkimacpica.lib produced by the Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0 32-bit compiler. The 777193267Sjkimdebug version of the code includes the debug output trace mechanism and has a 778193267Sjkimmuch larger code and data size. 779193267Sjkim 780193267Sjkim Previous Release: 781193267Sjkim Non-Debug Version: 79.3K Code, 16.2K Data, 95.5K Total 782193267Sjkim Debug Version: 153.0K Code, 48.2K Data, 201.2K Total 783193267Sjkim Current Release: 784193267Sjkim Non-Debug Version: 79.6K Code, 16.2K Data, 95.8K Total 785193267Sjkim Debug Version: 153.5K Code, 48.2K Data, 201.7K Total 786193267Sjkim 787193267Sjkim2) iASL Compiler/Disassembler and Tools: 788193267Sjkim 789193267SjkimiASL: Added two missing ACPI reserved names. Added _MTP and _ASZ, both 790193267Sjkimresource descriptor names. 791193267Sjkim 792193267SjkimiASL: Detect invalid ASCII characters in input (windows version). Removed the 793193267Sjkim"-CF" flag from the flex compile, enables correct detection of non-ASCII 794193267Sjkimcharacters in the input. BZ 441 795193267Sjkim 796193267SjkimiASL: Eliminate warning when result of LoadTable is not used. Eliminate the 797193267Sjkim"result of operation not used" warning when the DDB handle returned from 798193267SjkimLoadTable is not used. The warning is not needed. BZ 590 799193267Sjkim 800193267SjkimAcpiExec: Add support for dynamic table load/unload. Now calls _CFG method to 801193267Sjkimpass address of table to the AML. Added option to disable OpRegion simulation 802193267Sjkimto allow creation of an OpRegion with a real address that was passed to _CFG. 803193267SjkimAll of this allows testing of the Load and Unload operators from AcpiExec. 804193267Sjkim 805193267SjkimDebugger: update tables command for unloaded tables. Handle unloaded tables 806193267Sjkimand use the standard table header output routine. 807193267Sjkim 808193267Sjkim---------------------------------------- 809193267Sjkim09 June 2008. Summary of changes for version 20080609: 810193267Sjkim 811193267Sjkim1) ACPI CA Core Subsystem: 812193267Sjkim 813193267SjkimImplemented a workaround for reversed _PRT entries. A significant number of 814193267SjkimBIOSs erroneously reverse the _PRT SourceName and the SourceIndex. This 815193267Sjkimchange dynamically detects and repairs this problem. Provides compatibility 816193267Sjkimwith MS ACPI. BZ 6859 817193267Sjkim 818193267SjkimSimplified the internal ACPI hardware interfaces to eliminate the locking 819193267Sjkimflag parameter from Register Read/Write. Added a new external interface, 820193267SjkimAcpiGetRegisterUnlocked. 821193267Sjkim 822193267SjkimFixed a problem where the invocation of a GPE control method could hang. This 823193267Sjkimwas a regression introduced in 20080514. The new method argument count 824193267Sjkimvalidation mechanism can enter an infinite loop when a GPE method is 825193267Sjkimdispatched. Problem fixed by removing the obsolete code that passed GPE block 826193267Sjkiminformation to the notify handler via the control method parameter pointer. 827193267Sjkim 828193267SjkimFixed a problem where the _SST execution status was incorrectly returned to 829193267Sjkimthe caller of AcpiEnterSleepStatePrep. This was a regression introduced in 830193267Sjkim20080514. _SST is optional and a NOT_FOUND exception should never be 831193267Sjkimreturned. BZ 716 832193267Sjkim 833193267SjkimFixed a problem where a deleted object could be accessed from within the AML 834193267Sjkimparser. This was a regression introduced in version 20080123 as a fix for the 835193267SjkimUnload operator. Lin Ming. BZ 10669 836193267Sjkim 837193267SjkimCleaned up the debug operand dump mechanism. Eliminated unnecessary operands 838193267Sjkimand eliminated the use of a negative index in a loop. Operands are now 839193267Sjkimdisplayed in the correct order, not backwards. This also fixes a regression 840193267Sjkimintroduced in 20080514 on 64-bit systems where the elimination of 841193267SjkimACPI_NATIVE_UINT caused the negative index to go large and positive. BZ 715 842193267Sjkim 843193267SjkimFixed a possible memory leak in EvPciConfigRegionSetup where the error exit 844193267Sjkimpath did not delete a locally allocated structure. 845193267Sjkim 846193267SjkimUpdated definitions for the DMAR and SRAT tables to synchronize with the 847193267Sjkimcurrent specifications. Includes disassembler support. 848193267Sjkim 849193267SjkimFixed a problem in the mutex debug code (in utmutex.c) where an incorrect 850193267Sjkimloop termination value was used. Loop terminated on iteration early, missing 851193267Sjkimone mutex. Linn Crosetto 852193267Sjkim 853193267SjkimExample Code and Data Size: These are the sizes for the OS-independent 854193267Sjkimacpica.lib produced by the Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0 32-bit compiler. The 855193267Sjkimdebug version of the code includes the debug output trace mechanism and has a 856193267Sjkimmuch larger code and data size. 857193267Sjkim 858193267Sjkim Previous Release: 859193267Sjkim Non-Debug Version: 79.5K Code, 16.2K Data, 95.7K Total 860193267Sjkim Debug Version: 153.3K Code, 48.3K Data, 201.6K Total 861193267Sjkim Current Release: 862193267Sjkim Non-Debug Version: 79.3K Code, 16.2K Data, 95.5K Total 863193267Sjkim Debug Version: 153.0K Code, 48.2K Data, 201.2K Total 864193267Sjkim 865193267Sjkim2) iASL Compiler/Disassembler and Tools: 866193267Sjkim 867193267SjkimDisassembler: Implemented support for EisaId() within _CID objects. Now 868193267Sjkimdisassemble integer _CID objects back to EisaId invocations, including 869193267Sjkimmultiple integers within _CID packages. Includes single-step support for 870193267Sjkimdebugger also. 871193267Sjkim 872193267SjkimDisassembler: Added support for DMAR and SRAT table definition changes. 873193267Sjkim 874193267Sjkim---------------------------------------- 875193267Sjkim14 May 2008. Summary of changes for version 20080514: 876193267Sjkim 877193267Sjkim1) ACPI CA Core Subsystem: 878193267Sjkim 879193267SjkimFixed a problem where GPEs were enabled too early during the ACPICA 880193267Sjkiminitialization. This could lead to "handler not installed" errors on some 881193267Sjkimmachines. Moved GPE enable until after _REG/_STA/_INI methods are run. This 882193267Sjkimensures that all operation regions and devices throughout the namespace have 883193267Sjkimbeen initialized before GPEs are enabled. Alexey Starikovskiy, BZ 9916. 884193267Sjkim 885193267SjkimImplemented a change to the enter sleep code. Moved execution of the _GTS 886193267Sjkimmethod to just before setting sleep enable bit. The execution was moved from 887193267SjkimAcpiEnterSleepStatePrep to AcpiEnterSleepState. _GTS is now executed 888193267Sjkimimmediately before the SLP_EN bit is set, as per the ACPI specification. 889193267SjkimLuming Yu, BZ 1653. 890193267Sjkim 891193267SjkimImplemented a fix to disable unknown GPEs (2nd version). Now always disable 892193267Sjkimthe GPE, even if ACPICA thinks that that it is already disabled. It is 893193267Sjkimpossible that the AML or some other code has enabled the GPE unbeknownst to 894193267Sjkimthe ACPICA code. 895193267Sjkim 896193267SjkimFixed a problem with the Field operator where zero-length fields would return 897193267Sjkiman AE_AML_NO_OPERAND exception during table load. Fix enables zero-length ASL 898193267Sjkimfield declarations in Field(), BankField(), and IndexField(). BZ 10606. 899193267Sjkim 900193267SjkimImplemented a fix for the Load operator, now load the table at the namespace 901193267Sjkimroot. This reverts a change introduced in version 20071019. The table is now 902193267Sjkimloaded at the namespace root even though this goes against the ACPI 903193267Sjkimspecification. This provides compatibility with other ACPI implementations. 904193267SjkimThe ACPI specification will be updated to reflect this in ACPI 4.0. Lin Ming. 905193267Sjkim 906193267SjkimFixed a problem where ACPICA would not Load() tables with unusual signatures. 907193267SjkimNow ignore ACPI table signature for Load() operator. Only "SSDT" is 908193267Sjkimacceptable to the ACPI spec, but tables are seen with OEMx and null sigs. 909193267SjkimTherefore, signature validation is worthless. Apparently MS ACPI accepts such 910193267Sjkimsignatures, ACPICA must be compatible. BZ 10454. 911193267Sjkim 912193267SjkimFixed a possible negative array index in AcpiUtValidateException. Added NULL 913193267Sjkimfields to the exception string arrays to eliminate a -1 subtraction on the 914193267SjkimSubStatus field. 915193267Sjkim 916193267SjkimUpdated the debug tracking macros to reduce overall code and data size. 917193267SjkimChanged ACPI_MODULE_NAME and ACPI_FUNCTION_NAME to use arrays of strings 918193267Sjkiminstead of pointers to static strings. Jan Beulich and Bob Moore. 919193267Sjkim 920193267SjkimImplemented argument count checking in control method invocation via 921193267SjkimAcpiEvaluateObject. Now emit an error if too few arguments, warning if too 922193267Sjkimmany. This applies only to extern programmatic control method execution, not 923193267Sjkimmethod-to-method calls within the AML. Lin Ming. 924193267Sjkim 925193267SjkimEliminated the ACPI_NATIVE_UINT type across all ACPICA code. This type is no 926193267Sjkimlonger needed, especially with the removal of 16-bit support. It was replaced 927193267Sjkimmostly with UINT32, but also ACPI_SIZE where a type that changes 32/64 bit on 928193267Sjkim32/64-bit platforms is required. 929193267Sjkim 930193267SjkimAdded the C const qualifier for appropriate string constants -- mostly 931193267SjkimMODULE_NAME and printf format strings. Jan Beulich. 932193267Sjkim 933193267SjkimExample Code and Data Size: These are the sizes for the OS-independent 934193267Sjkimacpica.lib produced by the Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0 32-bit compiler. The 935193267Sjkimdebug version of the code includes the debug output trace mechanism and has a 936193267Sjkimmuch larger code and data size. 937193267Sjkim 938193267Sjkim Previous Release: 939193267Sjkim Non-Debug Version: 80.0K Code, 17.4K Data, 97.4K Total 940193267Sjkim Debug Version: 159.4K Code, 64.4K Data, 223.8K Total 941193267Sjkim Current Release: 942193267Sjkim Non-Debug Version: 79.5K Code, 16.2K Data, 95.7K Total 943193267Sjkim Debug Version: 153.3K Code, 48.3K Data, 201.6K Total 944193267Sjkim 945193267Sjkim2) iASL Compiler/Disassembler and Tools: 946193267Sjkim 947193267SjkimImplemented ACPI table revision ID validation in the disassembler. Zero is 948193267Sjkimalways invalid. For DSDTs, the ID controls the interpreter integer width. 1 949193267Sjkimmeans 32-bit and this is unusual. 2 or greater is 64-bit. 950193267Sjkim 951193267Sjkim---------------------------------------- 952193267Sjkim21 March 2008. Summary of changes for version 20080321: 953193267Sjkim 954193267Sjkim1) ACPI CA Core Subsystem: 955193267Sjkim 956193267SjkimImplemented an additional change to the GPE support in order to suppress 957193267Sjkimspurious or stray GPEs. The AcpiEvDisableGpe function will now permanently 958193267Sjkimdisable incoming GPEs that are neither enabled nor disabled -- meaning that 959193267Sjkimthe GPE is unknown to the system. This should prevent future interrupt floods 960193267Sjkimfrom that GPE. BZ 6217 (Zhang Rui) 961193267Sjkim 962193267SjkimFixed a problem where NULL package elements were not returned to the 963193267SjkimAcpiEvaluateObject interface correctly. The element was simply ignored 964193267Sjkiminstead of returning a NULL ACPI_OBJECT package element, potentially causing 965193267Sjkima buffer overflow and/or confusing the caller who expected a fixed number of 966193267Sjkimelements. BZ 10132 (Lin Ming, Bob Moore) 967193267Sjkim 968193267SjkimFixed a problem with the CreateField, CreateXXXField (Bit, Byte, Word, Dword, 969193267SjkimQword), Field, BankField, and IndexField operators when invoked from inside 970193267Sjkiman executing control method. In this case, these operators created namespace 971193267Sjkimnodes that were incorrectly left marked as permanent nodes instead of 972193267Sjkimtemporary nodes. This could cause a problem if there is race condition 973193267Sjkimbetween an exiting control method and a running namespace walk. (Reported by 974193267SjkimLinn Crosetto) 975193267Sjkim 976193267SjkimFixed a problem where the CreateField and CreateXXXField operators would 977193267Sjkimincorrectly allow duplicate names (the name of the field) with no exception 978193267Sjkimgenerated. 979193267Sjkim 980193267SjkimImplemented several changes for Notify handling. Added support for new Notify 981193267Sjkimvalues (ACPI 2.0+) and improved the Notify debug output. Notify on 982193267SjkimPowerResource objects is no longer allowed, as per the ACPI specification. 983193267Sjkim(Bob Moore, Zhang Rui) 984193267Sjkim 985193267SjkimAll Reference Objects returned via the AcpiEvaluateObject interface are now 986193267Sjkimmarked as type "REFERENCE" instead of "ANY". The type ANY is now reserved for 987193267SjkimNULL objects - either NULL package elements or unresolved named references. 988193267Sjkim 989193267SjkimFixed a problem where an extraneous debug message was produced for package 990193267Sjkimobjects (when debugging enabled). The message "Package List length larger 991193267Sjkimthan NumElements count" is now produced in the correct case, and is now an 992193267Sjkimerror message rather than a debug message. Added a debug message for the 993193267Sjkimopposite case, where NumElements is larger than the Package List (the package 994193267Sjkimwill be padded out with NULL elements as per the ACPI spec.) 995193267Sjkim 996193267SjkimImplemented several improvements for the output of the ASL "Debug" object to 997193267Sjkimclarify and keep all data for a given object on one output line. 998193267Sjkim 999193267SjkimFixed two size calculation issues with the variable-length Start Dependent 1000193267Sjkimresource descriptor. 1001193267Sjkim 1002193267SjkimExample Code and Data Size: These are the sizes for the OS-independent 1003193267Sjkimacpica.lib produced by the Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0 32-bit compiler. The 1004193267Sjkimdebug version of the code includes the debug output trace mechanism and has 1005193267Sjkima much larger code and data size. 1006193267Sjkim 1007193267Sjkim Previous Release: 1008193267Sjkim Non-Debug Version: 79.7K Code, 17.3K Data, 97.0K Total 1009193267Sjkim Debug Version: 158.9K Code, 64.0K Data, 222.9K Total 1010193267Sjkim Current Release: 1011193267Sjkim Non-Debug Version: 80.0K Code, 17.4K Data, 97.4K Total 1012193267Sjkim Debug Version: 159.4K Code, 64.4K Data, 223.8K Total 1013193267Sjkim 1014193267Sjkim2) iASL Compiler/Disassembler and Tools: 1015193267Sjkim 1016193267SjkimFixed a problem with the use of the Switch operator where execution of the 1017193267Sjkimcontaining method by multiple concurrent threads could cause an 1018193267SjkimAE_ALREADY_EXISTS exception. This is caused by the fact that there is no 1019193267Sjkimactual Switch opcode, it must be simulated with local named temporary 1020193267Sjkimvariables and if/else pairs. The solution chosen was to mark any method that 1021193267Sjkimuses Switch as Serialized, thus preventing multiple thread entries. BZ 469. 1022193267Sjkim 1023193267Sjkim---------------------------------------- 1024193267Sjkim13 February 2008. Summary of changes for version 20080213: 1025193267Sjkim 1026193267Sjkim1) ACPI CA Core Subsystem: 1027193267Sjkim 1028193267SjkimImplemented another MS compatibility design change for GPE/Notify handling. 1029193267SjkimGPEs are now cleared/enabled asynchronously to allow all pending notifies to 1030193267Sjkimcomplete first. It is expected that the OSL will queue the enable request 1031193267Sjkimbehind all pending notify requests (may require changes to the local host OSL 1032193267Sjkimin AcpiOsExecute). Alexey Starikovskiy. 1033193267Sjkim 1034193267SjkimFixed a problem where buffer and package objects passed as arguments to a 1035193267Sjkimcontrol method via the external AcpiEvaluateObject interface could cause an 1036193267SjkimAE_AML_INTERNAL exception depending on the order and type of operators 1037193267Sjkimexecuted by the target control method. 1038193267Sjkim 1039193267SjkimFixed a problem where resource descriptor size optimization could cause a 1040193267Sjkimproblem when a _CRS resource template is passed to a _SRS method. The _SRS 1041193267Sjkimresource template must use the same descriptors (with the same size) as 1042193267Sjkimreturned from _CRS. This change affects the following resource descriptors: 1043193267SjkimIRQ / IRQNoFlags and StartDependendentFn / StartDependentFnNoPri. (BZ 9487) 1044193267Sjkim 1045193267SjkimFixed a problem where a CopyObject to RegionField, BankField, and IndexField 1046193267Sjkimobjects did not perform an implicit conversion as it should. These types must 1047193267Sjkimretain their initial type permanently as per the ACPI specification. However, 1048193267Sjkima CopyObject to all other object types should not perform an implicit 1049193267Sjkimconversion, as per the ACPI specification. (Lin Ming, Bob Moore) BZ 388 1050193267Sjkim 1051193267SjkimFixed a problem with the AcpiGetDevices interface where the mechanism to 1052193267Sjkimmatch device CIDs did not examine the entire list of available CIDs, but 1053193267Sjkiminstead aborted on the first non-matching CID. Andrew Patterson. 1054193267Sjkim 1055193267SjkimFixed a regression introduced in version 20071114. The ACPI_HIDWORD macro was 1056193267Sjkiminadvertently changed to return a 16-bit value instead of a 32-bit value, 1057193267Sjkimtruncating the upper dword of a 64-bit value. This macro is only used to 1058193267Sjkimdisplay debug output, so no incorrect calculations were made. Also, 1059193267Sjkimreimplemented the macro so that a 64-bit shift is not performed by 1060193267Sjkiminefficient compilers. 1061193267Sjkim 1062193267SjkimAdded missing va_end statements that should correspond with each va_start 1063193267Sjkimstatement. 1064193267Sjkim 1065193267SjkimExample Code and Data Size: These are the sizes for the OS-independent 1066193267Sjkimacpica.lib produced by the Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0 32-bit compiler. The 1067193267Sjkimdebug version of the code includes the debug output trace mechanism and has 1068193267Sjkima much larger code and data size. 1069193267Sjkim 1070193267Sjkim Previous Release: 1071193267Sjkim Non-Debug Version: 79.5K Code, 17.2K Data, 96.7K Total 1072193267Sjkim Debug Version: 159.0K Code, 63.8K Data, 222.8K Total 1073193267Sjkim Current Release: 1074193267Sjkim Non-Debug Version: 79.7K Code, 17.3K Data, 97.0K Total 1075193267Sjkim Debug Version: 158.9K Code, 64.0K Data, 222.9K Total 1076193267Sjkim 1077193267Sjkim2) iASL Compiler/Disassembler and Tools: 1078193267Sjkim 1079193267SjkimImplemented full disassembler support for the following new ACPI tables: 1080193267SjkimBERT, EINJ, and ERST. Implemented partial disassembler support for the 1081193267Sjkimcomplicated HEST table. These tables support the Windows Hardware Error 1082193267SjkimArchitecture (WHEA). 1083193267Sjkim 1084193267Sjkim---------------------------------------- 1085193267Sjkim23 January 2008. Summary of changes for version 20080123: 1086193267Sjkim 1087193267Sjkim1) ACPI CA Core Subsystem: 1088193267Sjkim 1089193267SjkimAdded the 2008 copyright to all module headers and signons. This affects 1090193267Sjkimvirtually every file in the ACPICA core subsystem, the iASL compiler, and 1091193267Sjkimthe tools/utilities. 1092193267Sjkim 1093193267SjkimFixed a problem with the SizeOf operator when used with Package and Buffer 1094193267Sjkimobjects. These objects have deferred execution for some arguments, and the 1095193267Sjkimexecution is now completed before the SizeOf is executed. This problem caused 1096193267Sjkimunexpected AE_PACKAGE_LIMIT errors on some systems (Lin Ming, Bob Moore) BZ 1097193267Sjkim9558 1098193267Sjkim 1099193267SjkimImplemented an enhancement to the interpreter "slack mode". In the absence of 1100193267Sjkiman explicit return or an implicitly returned object from the last executed 1101193267Sjkimopcode, a control method will now implicitly return an integer of value 0 for 1102193267SjkimMicrosoft compatibility. (Lin Ming) BZ 392 1103193267Sjkim 1104193267SjkimFixed a problem with the Load operator where an exception was not returned in 1105193267Sjkimthe case where the table is already loaded. (Lin Ming) BZ 463 1106193267Sjkim 1107193267SjkimImplemented support for the use of DDBHandles as an Indexed Reference, as per 1108193267Sjkimthe ACPI spec. (Lin Ming) BZ 486 1109193267Sjkim 1110193267SjkimImplemented support for UserTerm (Method invocation) for the Unload operator 1111193267Sjkimas per the ACPI spec. (Lin Ming) BZ 580 1112193267Sjkim 1113193267SjkimFixed a problem with the LoadTable operator where the OemId and OemTableId 1114193267Sjkiminput strings could cause unexpected failures if they were shorter than the 1115193267Sjkimmaximum lengths allowed. (Lin Ming, Bob Moore) BZ 576 1116193267Sjkim 1117193267SjkimImplemented support for UserTerm (Method invocation) for the Unload operator 1118193267Sjkimas per the ACPI spec. (Lin Ming) BZ 580 1119193267Sjkim 1120193267SjkimImplemented header file support for new ACPI tables - BERT, ERST, EINJ, HEST, 1121193267SjkimIBFT, UEFI, WDAT. Disassembler support is forthcoming. 1122193267Sjkim 1123193267SjkimExample Code and Data Size: These are the sizes for the OS-independent 1124193267Sjkimacpica.lib produced by the Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0 32-bit compiler. The 1125193267Sjkimdebug version of the code includes the debug output trace mechanism and has 1126193267Sjkima much larger code and data size. 1127193267Sjkim 1128193267Sjkim Previous Release: 1129193267Sjkim Non-Debug Version: 79.3K Code, 17.2K Data, 96.5K Total 1130193267Sjkim Debug Version: 158.6K Code, 63.8K Data, 222.4K Total 1131193267Sjkim Current Release: 1132193267Sjkim Non-Debug Version: 79.5K Code, 17.2K Data, 96.7K Total 1133193267Sjkim Debug Version: 159.0K Code, 63.8K Data, 222.8K Total 1134193267Sjkim 1135193267Sjkim2) iASL Compiler/Disassembler and Tools: 1136193267Sjkim 1137193267SjkimImplemented support in the disassembler for checksum validation on incoming 1138193267Sjkimbinary DSDTs and SSDTs. If incorrect, a message is displayed within the table 1139193267Sjkimheader dump at the start of the disassembly. 1140193267Sjkim 1141193267SjkimImplemented additional debugging information in the namespace listing file 1142193267Sjkimcreated during compilation. In addition to the namespace hierarchy, the full 1143193267Sjkimpathname to each namespace object is displayed. 1144193267Sjkim 1145193267SjkimFixed a problem with the disassembler where invalid ACPI tables could cause 1146193267Sjkimfaults or infinite loops. 1147193267Sjkim 1148193267SjkimFixed an unexpected parse error when using the optional "parameter types" 1149193267Sjkimlist in a control method declaration. (Lin Ming) BZ 397 1150193267Sjkim 1151193267SjkimFixed a problem where two External declarations with the same name did not 1152193267Sjkimcause an error (Lin Ming) BZ 509 1153193267Sjkim 1154193267SjkimImplemented support for full TermArgs (adding Argx, Localx and method 1155193267Sjkiminvocation) for the ParameterData parameter to the LoadTable operator. (Lin 1156193267SjkimMing) BZ 583,587 1157193267Sjkim 1158193267Sjkim---------------------------------------- 1159193267Sjkim19 December 2007. Summary of changes for version 20071219: 1160193267Sjkim 1161193267Sjkim1) ACPI CA Core Subsystem: 1162193267Sjkim 1163193267SjkimImplemented full support for deferred execution for the TermArg string 1164193267Sjkimarguments for DataTableRegion. This enables forward references and full 1165193267Sjkimoperand resolution for the three string arguments. Similar to OperationRegion 1166193267Sjkimdeferred argument execution.) Lin Ming. BZ 430 1167193267Sjkim 1168193267SjkimImplemented full argument resolution support for the BankValue argument to 1169193267SjkimBankField. Previously, only constants were supported, now any TermArg may be 1170193267Sjkimused. Lin Ming BZ 387, 393 1171193267Sjkim 1172193267SjkimFixed a problem with AcpiGetDevices where the search of a branch of the 1173193267Sjkimdevice tree could be terminated prematurely. In accordance with the ACPI 1174193267Sjkimspecification, the search down the current branch is terminated if a device 1175193267Sjkimis both not present and not functional (instead of just not present.) Yakui 1176193267SjkimZhao. 1177193267Sjkim 1178193267SjkimFixed a problem where "unknown" GPEs could be allowed to fire repeatedly if 1179193267Sjkimthe underlying AML code changed the GPE enable registers. Now, any unknown 1180193267Sjkimincoming GPE (no _Lxx/_Exx method and not the EC GPE) is immediately disabled 1181193267Sjkiminstead of simply ignored. Rui Zhang. 1182193267Sjkim 1183193267SjkimFixed a problem with Index Fields where the Index register was incorrectly 1184193267Sjkimlimited to a maximum of 32 bits. Now any size may be used. 1185193267Sjkim 1186193267SjkimFixed a couple memory leaks associated with "implicit return" objects when 1187193267Sjkimthe AML Interpreter slack mode is enabled. Lin Ming BZ 349 1188193267Sjkim 1189193267SjkimExample Code and Data Size: These are the sizes for the OS-independent 1190193267Sjkimacpica.lib produced by the Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0 32-bit compiler. The 1191193267Sjkimdebug version of the code includes the debug output trace mechanism and has 1192193267Sjkima much larger code and data size. 1193193267Sjkim 1194193267Sjkim Previous Release: 1195193267Sjkim Non-Debug Version: 79.0K Code, 17.2K Data, 96.2K Total 1196193267Sjkim Debug Version: 157.9K Code, 63.6K Data, 221.5K Total 1197193267Sjkim Current Release: 1198193267Sjkim Non-Debug Version: 79.3K Code, 17.2K Data, 96.5K Total 1199193267Sjkim Debug Version: 158.6K Code, 63.8K Data, 222.4K Total 1200193267Sjkim 1201193267Sjkim---------------------------------------- 1202193267Sjkim14 November 2007. Summary of changes for version 20071114: 1203193267Sjkim 1204193267Sjkim1) ACPI CA Core Subsystem: 1205193267Sjkim 1206193267SjkimImplemented event counters for each of the Fixed Events, the ACPI SCI 1207193267Sjkim(interrupt) itself, and control methods executed. Named 1208193267SjkimAcpiFixedEventCount[], AcpiSciCount, and AcpiMethodCount respectively. These 1209193267Sjkimshould be useful for debugging and statistics. 1210193267Sjkim 1211193267SjkimImplemented a new external interface, AcpiGetStatistics, to retrieve the 1212193267Sjkimcontents of the various event counters. Returns the current values for 1213193267SjkimAcpiSciCount, AcpiGpeCount, the AcpiFixedEventCount array, and 1214193267SjkimAcpiMethodCount. The interface can be expanded in the future if new counters 1215193267Sjkimare added. Device drivers should use this interface rather than access the 1216193267Sjkimcounters directly. 1217193267Sjkim 1218193267SjkimFixed a problem with the FromBCD and ToBCD operators. With some compilers, 1219193267Sjkimthe ShortDivide function worked incorrectly, causing problems with the BCD 1220193267Sjkimfunctions with large input values. A truncation from 64-bit to 32-bit 1221193267Sjkiminadvertently occurred. Internal BZ 435. Lin Ming 1222193267Sjkim 1223193267SjkimFixed a problem with Index references passed as method arguments. References 1224193267Sjkimpassed as arguments to control methods were dereferenced immediately (before 1225193267Sjkimcontrol was passed to the called method). The references are now correctly 1226193267Sjkimpassed directly to the called method. BZ 5389. Lin Ming 1227193267Sjkim 1228193267SjkimFixed a problem with CopyObject used in conjunction with the Index operator. 1229193267SjkimThe reference was incorrectly dereferenced before the copy. The reference is 1230193267Sjkimnow correctly copied. BZ 5391. Lin Ming 1231193267Sjkim 1232193267SjkimFixed a problem with Control Method references within Package objects. These 1233193267Sjkimreferences are now correctly generated. This completes the package 1234193267Sjkimconstruction overhaul that began in version 20071019. 1235193267Sjkim 1236193267SjkimExample Code and Data Size: These are the sizes for the OS-independent 1237193267Sjkimacpica.lib produced by the Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0 32-bit compiler. The 1238193267Sjkimdebug version of the code includes the debug output trace mechanism and has 1239193267Sjkima much larger code and data size. 1240193267Sjkim 1241193267Sjkim Previous Release: 1242193267Sjkim Non-Debug Version: 78.8K Code, 17.2K Data, 96.0K Total 1243193267Sjkim Debug Version: 157.2K Code, 63.4K Data, 220.6K Total 1244193267Sjkim Current Release: 1245193267Sjkim Non-Debug Version: 79.0K Code, 17.2K Data, 96.2K Total 1246193267Sjkim Debug Version: 157.9K Code, 63.6K Data, 221.5K Total 1247193267Sjkim 1248193267Sjkim 1249193267Sjkim2) iASL Compiler/Disassembler and Tools: 1250193267Sjkim 1251193267SjkimThe AcpiExec utility now installs handlers for all of the predefined 1252193267SjkimOperation Region types. New types supported are: PCI_Config, CMOS, and 1253193267SjkimPCIBARTarget. 1254193267Sjkim 1255193267SjkimFixed a problem with the 64-bit version of AcpiExec where the extended (64- 1256193267Sjkimbit) address fields for the DSDT and FACS within the FADT were not being 1257193267Sjkimused, causing truncation of the upper 32-bits of these addresses. Lin Ming 1258193267Sjkimand Bob Moore 1259193267Sjkim 1260193267Sjkim---------------------------------------- 1261193267Sjkim19 October 2007. Summary of changes for version 20071019: 1262193267Sjkim 1263193267Sjkim1) ACPI CA Core Subsystem: 1264193267Sjkim 1265193267SjkimFixed a problem with the Alias operator when the target of the alias is a 1266193267Sjkimnamed ASL operator that opens a new scope -- Scope, Device, PowerResource, 1267193267SjkimProcessor, and ThermalZone. In these cases, any children of the original 1268193267Sjkimoperator could not be accessed via the alias, potentially causing unexpected 1269193267SjkimAE_NOT_FOUND exceptions. (BZ 9067) 1270193267Sjkim 1271193267SjkimFixed a problem with the Package operator where all named references were 1272193267Sjkimcreated as object references and left otherwise unresolved. According to the 1273193267SjkimACPI specification, a Package can only contain Data Objects or references to 1274193267Sjkimcontrol methods. The implication is that named references to Data Objects 1275193267Sjkim(Integer, Buffer, String, Package, BufferField, Field) should be resolved 1276193267Sjkimimmediately upon package creation. This is the approach taken with this 1277193267Sjkimchange. References to all other named objects (Methods, Devices, Scopes, 1278193267Sjkimetc.) are all now properly created as reference objects. (BZ 5328) 1279193267Sjkim 1280193267SjkimReverted a change to Notify handling that was introduced in version 1281193267Sjkim20070508. This version changed the Notify handling from asynchronous to 1282193267Sjkimfully synchronous (Device driver Notify handling with respect to the Notify 1283193267SjkimASL operator). It was found that this change caused more problems than it 1284193267Sjkimsolved and was removed by most users. 1285193267Sjkim 1286193267SjkimFixed a problem with the Increment and Decrement operators where the type of 1287193267Sjkimthe target object could be unexpectedly and incorrectly changed. (BZ 353) 1288193267SjkimLin Ming. 1289193267Sjkim 1290193267SjkimFixed a problem with the Load and LoadTable operators where the table 1291193267Sjkimlocation within the namespace was ignored. Instead, the table was always 1292193267Sjkimloaded into the root or current scope. Lin Ming. 1293193267Sjkim 1294193267SjkimFixed a problem with the Load operator when loading a table from a buffer 1295193267Sjkimobject. The input buffer was prematurely zeroed and/or deleted. (BZ 577) 1296193267Sjkim 1297193267SjkimFixed a problem with the Debug object where a store of a DdbHandle reference 1298193267Sjkimobject to the Debug object could cause a fault. 1299193267Sjkim 1300193267SjkimAdded a table checksum verification for the Load operator, in the case where 1301193267Sjkimthe load is from a buffer. (BZ 578). 1302193267Sjkim 1303193267SjkimImplemented additional parameter validation for the LoadTable operator.

Summary of changes for version 20070919: 1328193267Sjkim 1329193267Sjkim1) ACPI CA Core Subsystem: 1330193267Sjkim 1331193267SjkimDesigned and implemented new external interfaces to install and remove 1332193267Sjkimhandlers for ACPI table-related events. Current events that are defined are 1333193267SjkimLOAD and UNLOAD. These interfaces allow the host to track ACPI tables as 1334193267Sjkimthey are dynamically loaded and unloaded. See AcpiInstallTableHandler and 1335193267SjkimAcpiRemoveTableHandler. (Lin Ming and Bob Moore) 1336193267Sjkim 1337193267SjkimFixed a problem where the use of the AcpiGbl_AllMethodsSerialized flag 1338193267Sjkim(acpi_serialized option on Linux) could cause some systems to hang during 1339193267Sjkiminitialization. (Bob Moore) BZ 8171 1340193267Sjkim 1341193267SjkimFixed a problem where objects of certain types (Device, ThermalZone, 1342193267SjkimProcessor, PowerResource) can be not found if they are declared and 1343193267Sjkimreferenced from within the same control method (Lin Ming) BZ 341 1344193267Sjkim 1345193267SjkimExample Code and Data Size: These are the sizes for the OS-independent 1346193267Sjkimacpica.lib produced by the Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0 32-bit compiler.

This includes command line wildcard support for both the 1362193267SjkimWindows and Unix versions of the compiler. This feature simplifies the 1363193267Sjkimdisassembly and compilation of multiple ACPI tables in a single directory. 1364193267Sjkim 1365193267Sjkim---------------------------------------- 1366193267Sjkim08 May 2007. Summary of changes for version 20070508: 1367193267Sjkim 1368193267Sjkim1) ACPI CA Core Subsystem: 1369193267Sjkim 1370193267SjkimImplemented a Microsoft compatibility design change for the handling of the 1371193267SjkimNotify AML operator. Previously, notify handlers were dispatched and 1372193267Sjkimexecuted completely asynchronously in a deferred thread. The new design 1373193267Sjkimstill executes the notify handlers in a different thread, but the original 1374193267Sjkimthread that executed the Notify() now waits at a synchronization point for 1375193267Sjkimthe notify handler to complete. Some machines depend on a synchronous Notify 1376193267Sjkimoperator in order to operate correctly. 1377193267Sjkim 1378193267SjkimImplemented support to allow Package objects to be passed as method 1379193267Sjkimarguments to the external AcpiEvaluateObject interface. Previously, this 1380193267Sjkimwould return the AE_NOT_IMPLEMENTED exception. This feature had not been 1381193267Sjkimimplemented since there were no reserved control methods that required it 1382193267Sjkimuntil recently. 1383193267Sjkim 1384193267SjkimFixed a problem with the internal FADT conversion where ACPI 1.0 FADTs that 1385193267Sjkimcontained invalid non-zero values in reserved fields could cause later 1386193267Sjkimfailures because these fields have meaning in later revisions of the FADT. 1387193267SjkimFor incoming ACPI 1.0 FADTs, these fields are now always zeroed. (The fields 1388193267Sjkimare: Preferred_PM_Profile, PSTATE_CNT, CST_CNT, and IAPC_BOOT_FLAGS.) 1389193267Sjkim 1390193267SjkimFixed a problem where the Global Lock handle was not properly updated if a 1391193267Sjkimthread that acquired the Global Lock via executing AML code then attempted 1392193267Sjkimto acquire the lock via the AcpiAcquireGlobalLock interface. Reported by Joe 1393193267SjkimLiu. 1394193267Sjkim 1395193267SjkimFixed a problem in AcpiEvDeleteGpeXrupt where the global interrupt list 1396193267Sjkimcould be corrupted if the interrupt being removed was at the head of the 1397193267Sjkimlist.

Summary of changes for version 20070320: 1413167802Sjkim 1414167802Sjkim1) ACPI CA Core Subsystem: 1415167802Sjkim 1416193267SjkimImplemented a change to the order of interpretation and evaluation of AML 1417193267Sjkimoperand objects within the AML interpreter. The interpreter now evaluates 1418193267Sjkimoperands in the order that they appear in the AML stream (and the 1419193267Sjkimcorresponding ASL code), instead of in the reverse order (after the entire 1420193267Sjkimoperand list has been parsed). The previous behavior caused several subtle 1421193267Sjkimincompatibilities with the Microsoft AML interpreter as well as being 1422193267Sjkimsomewhat non-intuitive. BZ 7871, local BZ 263. Valery Podrezov. 1423167802Sjkim 1424193267SjkimImplemented a change to the ACPI Global Lock support. All interfaces to the 1425193267Sjkimglobal lock now allow the same thread to acquire the lock multiple times. 1426193267SjkimThis affects the AcpiAcquireGlobalLock external interface to the global lock 1427193267Sjkimas well as the internal use of the global lock to support AML fields -- a 1428193267Sjkimcontrol method that is holding the global lock can now simultaneously access 1429193267SjkimAML fields that require global lock protection. Previously, in both cases, 1430193267Sjkimthis would have resulted in an AE_ALREADY_ACQUIRED exception. The change to 1431193267SjkimAcpiAcquireGlobalLock is of special interest to drivers for the Embedded 1432193267SjkimController. There is no change to the behavior of the AML Acquire operator, 1433193267Sjkimas this can already be used to acquire a mutex multiple times by the same 1434193267Sjkimthread. BZ 8066. With assistance from Alexey Starikovskiy. 1435167802Sjkim 1436193267SjkimFixed a problem where invalid objects could be referenced in the AML 1437193267SjkimInterpreter after error conditions. During operand evaluation, ensure that 1438193267Sjkimthe internal "Return Object" field is cleared on error and only valid 1439193267Sjkimpointers are stored there. Caused occasional access to deleted objects that 1440193267Sjkimresulted in "large reference count" warning messages. Valery Podrezov. 1441167802Sjkim 1442193267SjkimFixed a problem where an AE_STACK_OVERFLOW internal exception could occur on 1443193267Sjkimdeeply nested control method invocations. BZ 7873, local BZ 487. Valery 1444193267SjkimPodrezov. 1445167802Sjkim 1446193267SjkimFixed an internal problem with the handling of result objects on the 1447193267Sjkiminterpreter result stack. BZ 7872. Valery Podrezov. 1448167802Sjkim 1449193267SjkimRemoved obsolete code that handled the case where AML_NAME_OP is the target 1450193267Sjkimof a reference (Reference.Opcode). This code was no longer necessary. BZ 1451193267Sjkim7874. Valery Podrezov. 1452167802Sjkim 1453193267SjkimRemoved obsolete ACPI_NO_INTEGER64_SUPPORT from two header files. This was a 1454193267Sjkimremnant from the previously discontinued 16-bit support. 1455167802Sjkim 1456193267SjkimExample Code and Data Size: These are the sizes for the OS-independent 1457193267Sjkimacpica.lib produced by the Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0 32-bit compiler.

Summary of changes for version 20070126: 1470167802Sjkim 1471167802Sjkim1) ACPI CA Core Subsystem: 1472167802Sjkim 1473193267SjkimAdded the 2007 copyright to all module headers and signons. This affects 1474193267Sjkimvirtually every file in the ACPICA core subsystem, the iASL compiler, and 1475193267Sjkimthe utilities. 1476167802Sjkim 1477193267SjkimImplemented a fix for an incorrect parameter passed to AcpiTbDeleteTable 1478193267Sjkimduring a table load. A bad pointer was passed in the case where the DSDT is 1479193267Sjkimoverridden, causing a fault in this case. 1480167802Sjkim 1481193267SjkimExample Code and Data Size: These are the sizes for the OS-independent 1482193267Sjkimacpica.lib produced by the Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0 32-bit compiler.

Summary of changes for version 20061215: 1495167802Sjkim 1496167802Sjkim1) ACPI CA Core Subsystem: 1497167802Sjkim 1498193267SjkimSupport for 16-bit ACPICA has been completely removed since it is no longer 1499193267Sjkimnecessary and it clutters the code. All 16-bit macros, types, and 1500193267Sjkimconditional compiles have been removed, cleaning up and simplifying the code 1501193267Sjkimacross the entire subsystem. DOS support is no longer needed since the 1502193267Sjkimbootable Linux firmware kit is now available. 1503167802Sjkim 1504193267SjkimThe handler for the Global Lock is now removed during AcpiTerminate to 1505193267Sjkimenable a clean subsystem restart, via the implementation of the 1506193267SjkimAcpiEvRemoveGlobalLockHandler function. (With assistance from Joel Bretz, 1507193267SjkimHP) 1508167802Sjkim 1509193267SjkimImplemented enhancements to the multithreading support within the debugger 1510193267Sjkimto enable improved multithreading debugging and evaluation of the subsystem. 1511167802Sjkim(Valery Podrezov) 1512167802Sjkim 1513193267SjkimDebugger: Enhanced the Statistics/Memory command to emit the total (maximum) 1514193267Sjkimmemory used during the execution, as well as the maximum memory consumed by 1515193267Sjkimeach of the various object types.

Summary of changes for version 20061109: 1537167802Sjkim 1538167802Sjkim1) ACPI CA Core Subsystem: 1539167802Sjkim 1540193267SjkimOptimized the Load ASL operator in the case where the source operand is an 1541193267Sjkimoperation region. Simply map the operation region memory, instead of 1542193267Sjkimperforming a bytewise read. (Region must be of type SystemMemory, see 1543193267Sjkimbelow.) 1544167802Sjkim 1545193267SjkimFixed the Load ASL operator for the case where the source operand is a 1546193267Sjkimregion field. A buffer object is also allowed as the source operand. BZ 480 1547167802Sjkim 1548193267SjkimFixed a problem where the Load ASL operator allowed the source operand to be 1549193267Sjkiman operation region of any type. It is now restricted to regions of type 1550193267SjkimSystemMemory, as per the ACPI specification. BZ 481 1551167802Sjkim 1552193267SjkimAdditional cleanup and optimizations for the new Table Manager code. 1553167802Sjkim 1554193267SjkimAcpiEnable will now fail if all of the required ACPI tables are not loaded 1555193267Sjkim(FADT, FACS, DSDT). BZ 477 1556167802Sjkim 1557193267SjkimAdded #pragma pack(8/4) to acobject.h to ensure that the structures in this 1558193267Sjkimheader are always compiled as aligned. The ACPI_OPERAND_OBJECT has been 1559193267Sjkimmanually optimized to be aligned and will not work if it is byte-packed. 1560167802Sjkim 1561193267SjkimExample Code and Data Size: These are the sizes for the OS-independent 1562193267Sjkimacpica.lib produced by the Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0 32-bit compiler. The 1563193267Sjkimdebug version of the code includes the debug output trace mechanism and has 1564193267Sjkima much larger code and data size. 1565167802Sjkim 1566167802Sjkim Previous Release: 1567167802Sjkim Non-Debug Version: 78.1K Code, 17.1K Data, 95.2K Total 1568167802Sjkim Debug Version: 155.4K Code, 63.1K Data, 218.5K Total 1569167802Sjkim Current Release: 1570167802Sjkim Non-Debug Version: 77.9K Code, 17.0K Data, 94.9K Total 1571167802Sjkim Debug Version: 155.2K Code, 63.1K Data, 218.3K Total 1572167802Sjkim 1573167802Sjkim 1574167802Sjkim2) iASL Compiler/Disassembler and Tools: 1575167802Sjkim 1576193267SjkimFixed a problem where the presence of the _OSI predefined control method 1577193267Sjkimwithin complex expressions could cause an internal compiler error. 1578167802Sjkim 1579193267SjkimAcpiExec: Implemented full region support for multiple address spaces. 1580193267SjkimSpaceId is now part of the REGION object. BZ 429 1581167802Sjkim 1582167802Sjkim---------------------------------------- 1583167802Sjkim11 October 2006. Summary of changes for version 20061011: 1584167802Sjkim 1585167802Sjkim1) ACPI CA Core Subsystem: 1586167802Sjkim 1587193267SjkimCompleted an AML interpreter performance enhancement for control method 1588193267Sjkimexecution. Previously a 2-pass parse/execution, control methods are now 1589193267Sjkimcompletely parsed and executed in a single pass. This improves overall 1590193267Sjkiminterpreter performance by ~25%, reduces code size, and reduces CPU stack 1591193267Sjkimuse. (Valery Podrezov + interpreter changes in version 20051202 that 1592193267Sjkimeliminated namespace loading during the pass one parse.) 1593167802Sjkim 1594193267SjkimImplemented _CID support for PCI Root Bridge detection. If the _HID does not 1595193267Sjkimmatch the predefined PCI Root Bridge IDs, the _CID list (if present) is now 1596193267Sjkimobtained and also checked for an ID match. 1597167802Sjkim 1598193267SjkimImplemented additional support for the PCI _ADR execution: upsearch until a 1599193267Sjkimdevice scope is found before executing _ADR. This allows PCI_Config 1600193267Sjkimoperation regions to be declared locally within control methods underneath 1601193267SjkimPCI device objects. 1602167802Sjkim 1603193267SjkimFixed a problem with a possible race condition between threads executing 1604193267SjkimAcpiWalkNamespace and the AML interpreter. This condition was removed by 1605193267Sjkimmodifying AcpiWalkNamespace to (by default) ignore all temporary namespace 1606193267Sjkimentries created during any concurrent control method execution. An 1607193267Sjkimadditional namespace race condition is known to exist between 1608193267SjkimAcpiWalkNamespace and the Load/Unload ASL operators and is still under 1609193267Sjkiminvestigation. 1610167802Sjkim 1611193267SjkimRestructured the AML ParseLoop function, breaking it into several 1612193267Sjkimsubfunctions in order to reduce CPU stack use and improve maintainability. 1613193267Sjkim(Mikhail Kouzmich) 1614167802Sjkim 1615193267SjkimAcpiGetHandle: Fix for parameter validation to detect invalid combinations 1616193267Sjkimof prefix handle and pathname.

The global lock semaphore was 1646193267Sjkiminadvertently created with one unit instead of zero units. (BZ 464) Fiodor 1647193267SjkimSuietov. 1648167802Sjkim 1649193267SjkimFixed a possible memory leak and fault in AcpiExResolveObjectToValue during 1650193267Sjkima read from a buffer or region field.

(BZ 7212) 1671167802Sjkim 1672193267SjkimFixed a problem where the compiler could hang after syntax errors detected 1673193267Sjkimin an ElseIf construct. (BZ 453) 1674167802Sjkim 1675193267SjkimFixed a problem with the AmlFilename parameter to the DefinitionBlock() 1676193267Sjkimoperator. An incorrect output filename was produced when this parameter was 1677193267Sjkima null string (""). Now, the original input filename is used as the AML 1678193267Sjkimoutput filename, with an ".aml" extension. 1679167802Sjkim 1680193267SjkimImplemented a generic batch command mode for the AcpiExec utility (execute 1681193267Sjkimany AML debugger command) (Valery Podrezov). 1682167802Sjkim 1683167802Sjkim---------------------------------------- 1684167802Sjkim12 September 2006. Summary of changes for version 20060912: 1685167802Sjkim 1686167802Sjkim1) ACPI CA Core Subsystem: 1687167802Sjkim 1688193267SjkimEnhanced the implementation of the "serialized mode" of the interpreter 1689193267Sjkim(enabled via the AcpiGbl_AllMethodsSerialized flag.) When this mode is 1690193267Sjkimspecified, instead of creating a serialization semaphore per control method, 1691193267Sjkimthe interpreter lock is simply no longer released before a blocking 1692193267Sjkimoperation during control method execution. This effectively makes the AML 1693193267SjkimInterpreter single-threaded. The overhead of a semaphore per-method is 1694193267Sjkimeliminated. 1695167802Sjkim 1696193267SjkimFixed a regression where an error was no longer emitted if a control method 1697193267Sjkimattempts to create 2 objects of the same name. This once again returns 1698193267SjkimAE_ALREADY_EXISTS. When this exception occurs, it invokes the mechanism that 1699193267Sjkimwill dynamically serialize the control method to possible prevent future 1700193267Sjkimerrors. (BZ 440) 1701167802Sjkim 1702193267SjkimIntegrated a fix for a problem with PCI Express HID detection in the PCI 1703193267SjkimConfig Space setup procedure. (BZ 7145) 1704167802Sjkim 1705193267SjkimMoved all FADT-related functions to a new file, tbfadt.c. Eliminated the 1706193267SjkimAcpiHwInitialize function - the FADT registers are now validated when the 1707193267Sjkimtable is loaded. 1708167802Sjkim 1709193267SjkimAdded two new warnings during FADT verification - 1) if the FADT is larger 1710193267Sjkimthan the largest known FADT version, and 2) if there is a mismatch between a 1711193267Sjkim32-bit block address and the 64-bit X counterpart (when both are non-zero.) 1712167802Sjkim 1713193267SjkimExample Code and Data Size: These are the sizes for the OS-independent 1714193267Sjkimacpica.lib produced by the Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0 32-bit compiler.

This could cause a problem if the Switch() operator is 1731193267Sjkimwithin a while loop, causing an error on the second iteration. (BZ 460) 1732167802Sjkim 1733193267SjkimDisassembler - fix for error emitted for unknown type for target of scope 1734193267Sjkimoperator.

Summary of changes for version 20060823: 1794167802Sjkim 1795167802Sjkim1) ACPI CA Core Subsystem: 1796167802Sjkim 1797193267SjkimThe Table Manager component has been completely redesigned and 1798193267Sjkimreimplemented. The new design is much simpler, and reduces the overall code 1799193267Sjkimand data size of the kernel-resident ACPICA by approximately 5%. Also, it is 1800193267Sjkimnow possible to obtain the ACPI tables very early during kernel 1801193267Sjkiminitialization, even before dynamic memory management is initialized. 1802193267Sjkim(Alexey Starikovskiy, Fiodor Suietov, Bob Moore) 1803167802Sjkim 1804167802SjkimObsolete ACPICA interfaces: 1805167802Sjkim 1806193267Sjkim- AcpiGetFirmwareTable: Use AcpiGetTable instead (works at early kernel init 1807193267Sjkimtime). 1808167802Sjkim- AcpiLoadTable: Not needed. 1809167802Sjkim- AcpiUnloadTable: Not needed. 1810167802Sjkim 1811167802SjkimNew ACPICA interfaces: 1812167802Sjkim 1813193267Sjkim- AcpiInitializeTables: Must be called before the table manager can be used. 1814193267Sjkim- AcpiReallocateRootTable: Used to transfer the root table to dynamically 1815193267Sjkimallocated memory after it becomes available. 1816193267Sjkim- AcpiGetTableByIndex: Allows the host to easily enumerate all ACPI tables 1817193267Sjkimin the RSDT/XSDT. 1818167802Sjkim 1819167802SjkimOther ACPICA changes: 1820167802Sjkim 1821193267Sjkim- AcpiGetTableHeader returns the actual mapped table header, not a copy. Use 1822193267SjkimAcpiOsUnmapMemory to free this mapping. 1823193267Sjkim- AcpiGetTable returns the actual mapped table. The mapping is managed 1824193267Sjkiminternally and must not be deleted by the caller. Use of this interface 1825193267Sjkimcauses no additional dynamic memory allocation. 1826193267Sjkim- AcpiFindRootPointer: Support for physical addressing has been eliminated, 1827193267Sjkimit appeared to be unused. 1828193267Sjkim- The interface to AcpiOsMapMemory has changed to be consistent with the 1829193267Sjkimother allocation interfaces. 1830193267Sjkim- The interface to AcpiOsGetRootPointer has changed to eliminate unnecessary 1831193267Sjkimparameters. 1832193267Sjkim- ACPI_PHYSICAL_ADDRESS is now 32 bits on 32-bit platforms, 64 bits on 64- 1833193267Sjkimbit platforms. Was previously 64 bits on all platforms. 1834193267Sjkim- The interface to the ACPI Global Lock acquire/release macros have changed 1835193267Sjkimslightly since ACPICA no longer keeps a local copy of the FACS with a 1836193267Sjkimconstructed pointer to the actual global lock. 1837167802Sjkim 1838167802SjkimPorting to the new table manager: 1839167802Sjkim 1840193267Sjkim- AcpiInitializeTables: Must be called once, and can be called anytime 1841193267Sjkimduring the OS initialization process. It allows the host to specify an area 1842193267Sjkimof memory to be used to store the internal version of the RSDT/XSDT (root 1843193267Sjkimtable). This allows the host to access ACPI tables before memory management 1844193267Sjkimis initialized and running. 1845193267Sjkim- AcpiReallocateRootTable: Can be called after memory management is running 1846193267Sjkimto copy the root table to a dynamically allocated array, freeing up the 1847193267Sjkimscratch memory specified in the call to AcpiInitializeTables. 1848193267Sjkim- AcpiSubsystemInitialize: This existing interface is independent of the 1849193267SjkimTable Manager, and does not have to be called before the Table Manager can 1850193267Sjkimbe used, it only must be called before the rest of ACPICA can be used. 1851193267Sjkim- ACPI Tables: Some changes have been made to the names and structure of the 1852193267Sjkimactbl.h and actbl1.h header files and may require changes to existing code. 1853193267SjkimFor example, bitfields have been completely removed because of their lack of 1854193267Sjkimportability across C compilers. 1855193267Sjkim- Update interfaces to the Global Lock acquire/release macros if local 1856193267Sjkimversions are used.

Summary of changes for version 20060721: 1881167802Sjkim 1882167802Sjkim1) ACPI CA Core Subsystem: 1883167802Sjkim 1884193267SjkimThe full source code for the ASL test suite used to validate the iASL 1885193267Sjkimcompiler and the ACPICA core subsystem is being released with the ACPICA 1886193267Sjkimsource for the first time. The source is contained in a separate package and 1887193267Sjkimconsists of over 1100 files that exercise all ASL/AML operators. The package 1888193267Sjkimshould appear on the Intel/ACPI web site shortly. (Valery Podrezov, Fiodor 1889167802SjkimSuietov) 1890167802Sjkim 1891193267SjkimCompleted a new design and implementation for support of the ACPI Global 1892193267SjkimLock. On the OS side, the global lock is now treated as a standard AML 1893193267Sjkimmutex. Previously, multiple OS threads could "acquire" the global lock 1894193267Sjkimsimultaneously. However, this could cause the BIOS to be starved out of the 1895193267Sjkimlock - especially in cases such as the Embedded Controller driver where 1896193267Sjkimthere is a tight coupling between the OS and the BIOS. 1897167802Sjkim 1898193267SjkimImplemented an optimization for the ACPI Global Lock interrupt mechanism. 1899193267SjkimThe Global Lock interrupt handler no longer queues the execution of a 1900193267Sjkimseparate thread to signal the global lock semaphore. Instead, the semaphore 1901193267Sjkimis signaled directly from the interrupt handler. 1902167802Sjkim 1903193267SjkimImplemented support within the AML interpreter for package objects that 1904193267Sjkimcontain a larger AML length (package list length) than the package element 1905193267Sjkimcount. In this case, the length of the package is truncated to match the 1906193267Sjkimpackage element count. Some BIOS code apparently modifies the package length 1907193267Sjkimon the fly, and this change supports this behavior. Provides compatibility 1908193267Sjkimwith the MS AML interpreter. (With assistance from Fiodor Suietov) 1909167802Sjkim 1910193267SjkimImplemented a temporary fix for the BankValue parameter of a Bank Field to 1911193267Sjkimsupport all constant values, now including the Zero and One opcodes. 1912193267SjkimEvaluation of this parameter must eventually be converted to a full TermArg 1913193267Sjkimevaluation. A not-implemented error is now returned (temporarily) for non- 1914193267Sjkimconstant values for this parameter. 1915167802Sjkim 1916167802SjkimFixed problem reports (Fiodor Suietov) integrated: 1917193267Sjkim- Fix for premature object deletion after CopyObject on Operation Region (BZ 1918193267Sjkim350) 1919167802Sjkim 1920193267SjkimExample Code and Data Size: These are the sizes for the OS-independent 1921193267Sjkimacpica.lib produced by the Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0 32-bit compiler.

Some of the debug data structures are packed by default to 1946193267Sjkimminimize size. 1947167802Sjkim 1948193267SjkimAdded an error message for the case where AcpiOsGetThreadId() returns zero. 1949193267SjkimA non-zero value is required by the core ACPICA code to ensure the proper 1950193267Sjkimoperation of AML mutexes and recursive control methods. 1951167802Sjkim 1952193267SjkimThe DSDT is now the only ACPI table that determines whether the AML 1953193267Sjkiminterpreter is in 32-bit or 64-bit mode. Not really a functional change, but 1954193267Sjkimthe hooks for per-table 32/64 switching have been removed from the code. A 1955193267Sjkimclarification to the ACPI specification is forthcoming in ACPI 3.0B. 1956167802Sjkim 1957193267SjkimFixed a possible leak of an OwnerID in the error path of 1958193267SjkimAcpiTbInitTableDescriptor (tbinstal.c), and migrated all table OwnerID 1959193267Sjkimdeletion to a single place in AcpiTbUninstallTable to correct possible leaks 1960193267Sjkimwhen using the AcpiTbDeleteTablesByType interface (with assistance from 1961193267SjkimLance Ortiz.) 1962167802Sjkim 1963193267SjkimFixed a problem with Serialized control methods where the semaphore 1964193267Sjkimassociated with the method could be over-signaled after multiple method 1965193267Sjkiminvocations. 1966167802Sjkim 1967193267SjkimFixed two issues with the locking of the internal namespace data structure. 1968193267SjkimBoth the Unload() operator and AcpiUnloadTable interface now lock the 1969193267Sjkimnamespace during the namespace deletion associated with the table unload 1970193267Sjkim(with assistance from Linn Crosetto.) 1971167802Sjkim 1972167802SjkimFixed problem reports (Valery Podrezov) integrated: 1973193267Sjkim- Eliminate unnecessary memory allocation for CreateXxxxField (BZ 5426) 1974167802Sjkim 1975167802SjkimFixed problem reports (Fiodor Suietov) integrated: 1976167802Sjkim- Incomplete cleanup branches in AcpiTbGetTableRsdt (BZ 369) 1977193267Sjkim- On Address Space handler deletion, needless deactivation call (BZ 374) 1978193267Sjkim- AcpiRemoveAddressSpaceHandler: validate Device handle parameter (BZ 375) 1979193267Sjkim- Possible memory leak, Notify sub-objects of Processor, Power, ThermalZone 1980193267Sjkim(BZ 376) 1981193267Sjkim- AcpiRemoveAddressSpaceHandler: validate Handler parameter (BZ 378) 1982167802Sjkim- Minimum Length of RSDT should be validated (BZ 379) 1983193267Sjkim- AcpiRemoveNotifyHandler: return AE_NOT_EXIST if Processor Obj has no 1984193267SjkimHandler (BZ (380) 1985193267Sjkim- AcpiUnloadTable: return AE_NOT_EXIST if no table of specified type loaded 1986193267Sjkim(BZ 381) 1987167802Sjkim 1988193267SjkimExample Code and Data Size: These are the sizes for the OS-independent 1989193267Sjkimacpica.lib produced by the Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0 32-bit compiler.

Summary of changes for version 20060623: 2009167802Sjkim 2010167802Sjkim1) ACPI CA Core Subsystem: 2011167802Sjkim 2012193267SjkimImplemented a new ACPI_SPINLOCK type for the OSL lock interfaces. This 2013193267Sjkimallows the type to be customized to the host OS for improved efficiency 2014193267Sjkim(since a spinlock is usually a very small object.) 2015167802Sjkim 2016193267SjkimImplemented support for "ignored" bits in the ACPI registers. According to 2017193267Sjkimthe ACPI specification, these bits should be preserved when writing the 2018193267Sjkimregisters via a read/modify/write cycle. There are 3 bits preserved in this 2019193267Sjkimmanner: PM1_CONTROL[0] (SCI_EN), PM1_CONTROL[9], and PM1_STATUS[11]. 2020167802Sjkim 2021193267SjkimImplemented the initial deployment of new OSL mutex interfaces. Since some 2022193267Sjkimhost operating systems have separate mutex and semaphore objects, this 2023193267Sjkimfeature was requested. The base code now uses mutexes (and the new mutex 2024193267Sjkiminterfaces) wherever a binary semaphore was used previously. However, for 2025193267Sjkimthe current release, the mutex interfaces are defined as macros to map them 2026193267Sjkimto the existing semaphore interfaces. Therefore, no OSL changes are required 2027193267Sjkimat this time. (See acpiosxf.h) 2028167802Sjkim 2029193267SjkimFixed several problems with the support for the control method SyncLevel 2030193267Sjkimparameter. The SyncLevel now works according to the ACPI specification and 2031193267Sjkimin concert with the Mutex SyncLevel parameter, since the current SyncLevel 2032193267Sjkimis a property of the executing thread. Mutual exclusion for control methods 2033193267Sjkimis now implemented with a mutex instead of a semaphore. 2034167802Sjkim 2035193267SjkimFixed three instances of the use of the C shift operator in the bitfield 2036193267Sjkimsupport code (exfldio.c) to avoid the use of a shift value larger than the 2037193267Sjkimtarget data width. The behavior of C compilers is undefined in this case and 2038193267Sjkimcan cause unpredictable results, and therefore the case must be detected and 2039193267Sjkimavoided. (Fiodor Suietov) 2040167802Sjkim 2041193267SjkimAdded an info message whenever an SSDT or OEM table is loaded dynamically 2042193267Sjkimvia the Load() or LoadTable() ASL operators. This should improve debugging 2043193267Sjkimcapability since it will show exactly what tables have been loaded (beyond 2044193267Sjkimthe tables present in the RSDT/XSDT.) 2045167802Sjkim 2046193267SjkimExample Code and Data Size: These are the sizes for the OS-independent 2047193267Sjkimacpica.lib produced by the Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0 32-bit compiler.

Summary of changes for version 20060608: 2065167802Sjkim 2066167802Sjkim1) ACPI CA Core Subsystem: 2067167802Sjkim 2068193267SjkimConverted the locking mutex used for the ACPI hardware to a spinlock. This 2069193267Sjkimchange should eliminate all problems caused by attempting to acquire a 2070193267Sjkimsemaphore at interrupt level, and it means that all ACPICA external 2071193267Sjkiminterfaces that directly access the ACPI hardware can be safely called from 2072193267Sjkiminterrupt level. OSL code that implements the semaphore interfaces should be 2073193267Sjkimable to eliminate any workarounds for being called at interrupt level. 2074167802Sjkim 2075193267SjkimFixed a regression introduced in 20060526 where the ACPI device 2076193267Sjkiminitialization could be prematurely aborted with an AE_NOT_FOUND if a device 2077193267Sjkimdid not have an optional _INI method. 2078167802Sjkim 2079193267SjkimFixed an IndexField issue where a write to the Data Register should be 2080193267Sjkimlimited in size to the AccessSize (width) of the IndexField itself.

Summary of changes for version 20060526: 2118167802Sjkim 2119167802Sjkim1) ACPI CA Core Subsystem: 2120167802Sjkim 2121193267SjkimRestructured, flattened, and simplified the internal interfaces for 2122193267Sjkimnamespace object evaluation - resulting in smaller code, less CPU stack use, 2123193267Sjkimand fewer interfaces. (With assistance from Mikhail Kouzmich) 2124167802Sjkim 2125193267SjkimFixed a problem with the CopyObject operator where the first parameter was 2126193267Sjkimnot typed correctly for the parser, interpreter, compiler, and disassembler. 2127193267SjkimCaused various errors and unexpected behavior. 2128167802Sjkim 2129193267SjkimFixed a problem where a ShiftLeft or ShiftRight of more than 64 bits 2130193267Sjkimproduced incorrect results with some C compilers. Since the behavior of C 2131193267Sjkimcompilers when the shift value is larger than the datatype width is 2132193267Sjkimapparently not well defined, the interpreter now detects this condition and 2133193267Sjkimsimply returns zero as expected in all such cases.

Summary of changes for version 20060512: 2179167802Sjkim 2180167802Sjkim1) ACPI CA Core Subsystem: 2181167802Sjkim 2182193267SjkimReplaced the AcpiOsQueueForExecution interface with a new interface named 2183193267SjkimAcpiOsExecute. The major difference is that the new interface does not have 2184193267Sjkima Priority parameter, this appeared to be useless and has been replaced by a 2185193267SjkimType parameter. The Type tells the host what type of execution is being 2186193267Sjkimrequested, such as global lock handler, notify handler, GPE handler, etc. 2187193267SjkimThis allows the host to queue and execute the request as appropriate for the 2188193267Sjkimrequest type, possibly using different work queues and different priorities 2189193267Sjkimfor the various request types. This enables fixes for multithreading 2190193267Sjkimdeadlock problems such as BZ #5534, and will require changes to all existing 2191193267SjkimOS interface layers. (Alexey Starikovskiy and Bob Moore) 2192167802Sjkim 2193193267SjkimFixed a possible memory leak associated with the support for the so-called 2194193267Sjkim"implicit return" ACPI extension. Reported by FreeBSD, BZ #6514. (Fiodor 2195193267SjkimSuietov) 2196167802Sjkim 2197193267SjkimFixed a problem with the Load() operator where a table load from an 2198193267Sjkimoperation region could overwrite an internal table buffer by up to 7 bytes 2199193267Sjkimand cause alignment faults on IPF systems.

This will simplify the 2220193267Sjkimdisassembly and recompilation of interdependent tables such as SSDTs since 2221193267Sjkimthese statements will no longer have to be added manually. 2222167802Sjkim 2223193267SjkimDisassembler: Implemented experimental support to automatically detect 2224193267Sjkiminvocations of external control methods and generate appropriate External() 2225193267Sjkimstatements. This is problematic because the AML cannot be correctly parsed 2226193267Sjkimuntil the number of arguments for each control method is known. Currently, 2227193267Sjkimstandalone method invocations and invocations as the source operand of a 2228193267SjkimStore() statement are supported. 2229167802Sjkim 2230193267SjkimDisassembler: Implemented support for the ASL pseudo-operators LNotEqual, 2231193267SjkimLLessEqual, and LGreaterEqual. Previously disassembled as LNot(LEqual()), 2232193267SjkimLNot(LGreater()), and LNot(LLess()), this makes the disassembled ASL code 2233193267Sjkimmore readable and likely closer to the original ASL source. 2234167802Sjkim 2235167802Sjkim---------------------------------------- 2236167802Sjkim21 April 2006. Summary of changes for version 20060421: 2237167802Sjkim 2238167802Sjkim1) ACPI CA Core Subsystem: 2239167802Sjkim 2240193267SjkimRemoved a device initialization optimization introduced in 20051216 where 2241193267Sjkimthe _STA method was not run unless an _INI was also present for the same 2242193267Sjkimdevice. This optimization could cause problems because it could allow _INI 2243193267Sjkimmethods to be run within a not-present device subtree. (If a not-present 2244193267Sjkimdevice had no _INI, _STA would not be run, the not-present status would not 2245193267Sjkimbe discovered, and the children of the device would be incorrectly 2246167802Sjkimtraversed.) 2247167802Sjkim 2248193267SjkimImplemented a new _STA optimization where namespace subtrees that do not 2249193267Sjkimcontain _INI are identified and ignored during device initialization. 2250193267SjkimSelectively running _STA can significantly improve boot time on large 2251193267Sjkimmachines (with assistance from Len Brown.) 2252167802Sjkim 2253193267SjkimImplemented support for the device initialization case where the returned 2254193267Sjkim_STA flags indicate a device not-present but functioning. In this case, _INI 2255193267Sjkimis not run, but the device children are examined for presence, as per the 2256193267SjkimACPI specification. 2257167802Sjkim 2258193267SjkimImplemented an additional change to the IndexField support in order to 2259193267Sjkimconform to MS behavior. The value written to the Index Register is not 2260193267Sjkimsimply a byte offset, it is a byte offset in units of the access width of 2261193267Sjkimthe parent Index Field. (Fiodor Suietov) 2262167802Sjkim 2263193267SjkimDefined and deployed a new OSL interface, AcpiOsValidateAddress. This 2264193267Sjkiminterface is called during the creation of all AML operation regions, and 2265193267Sjkimallows the host OS to exert control over what addresses it will allow the 2266193267SjkimAML code to access. Operation Regions whose addresses are disallowed will 2267193267Sjkimcause a runtime exception when they are actually accessed (will not affect 2268193267Sjkimor abort table loading.) See oswinxf or osunixxf for an example 2269167802Sjkimimplementation. 2270167802Sjkim 2271193267SjkimDefined and deployed a new OSL interface, AcpiOsValidateInterface. This 2272193267Sjkiminterface allows the host OS to match the various "optional" 2273193267Sjkiminterface/behavior strings for the _OSI predefined control method as 2274193267Sjkimappropriate (with assistance from Bjorn Helgaas.) See oswinxf or osunixxf 2275193267Sjkimfor an example implementation. 2276167802Sjkim 2277193267SjkimRestructured and corrected various problems in the exception handling code 2278193267Sjkimpaths within DsCallControlMethod and DsTerminateControlMethod in dsmethod 2279193267Sjkim(with assistance from Takayoshi Kochi.) 2280167802Sjkim 2281193267SjkimModified the Linux source converter to ignore quoted string literals while 2282193267Sjkimconverting identifiers from mixed to lower case. This will correct problems 2283193267Sjkimwith the disassembler and other areas where such strings must not be 2284193267Sjkimmodified. 2285167802Sjkim 2286193267SjkimThe ACPI_FUNCTION_* macros no longer require quotes around the function 2287193267Sjkimname. This allows the Linux source converter to convert the names, now that 2288193267Sjkimthe converter ignores quoted strings. 2289167802Sjkim 2290193267SjkimExample Code and Data Size: These are the sizes for the OS-independent 2291193267Sjkimacpica.lib produced by the Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0 32-bit compiler. The 2292193267Sjkimdebug version of the code includes the debug output trace mechanism and has 2293193267Sjkima much larger code and data size. 2294193267Sjkim 2295167802Sjkim Previous Release: 2296167802Sjkim 2297167802Sjkim Non-Debug Version: 81.1K Code, 17.7K Data, 98.8K Total 2298167802Sjkim Debug Version: 158.9K Code, 64.9K Data, 223.8K Total 2299167802Sjkim Current Release: 2300167802Sjkim Non-Debug Version: 79.7K Code, 17.7K Data, 97.4K Total 2301167802Sjkim Debug Version: 160.1K Code, 65.2K Data, 225.3K Total 2302167802Sjkim 2303167802Sjkim 2304167802Sjkim2) iASL Compiler/Disassembler and Tools: 2305167802Sjkim 2306193267SjkimImplemented 3 new warnings for iASL, and implemented multiple warning levels 2307193267Sjkim(w2 flag). 2308167802Sjkim 2309193267Sjkim1) Ignored timeouts: If the TimeoutValue parameter to Wait or Acquire is not 2310193267SjkimWAIT_FOREVER (0xFFFF) and the code does not examine the return value to 2311193267Sjkimcheck for the possible timeout, a warning is issued. 2312167802Sjkim 2313193267Sjkim2) Useless operators: If an ASL operator does not specify an optional target 2314193267Sjkimoperand and it also does not use the function return value from the 2315193267Sjkimoperator, a warning is issued since the operator effectively does nothing. 2316167802Sjkim 2317193267Sjkim3) Unreferenced objects: If a namespace object is created, but never 2318193267Sjkimreferenced, a warning is issued. This is a warning level 2 since there are 2319193267Sjkimcases where this is ok, such as when a secondary table is loaded that uses 2320193267Sjkimthe unreferenced objects. Even so, care is taken to only flag objects that 2321193267Sjkimdon't look like they will ever be used. For example, the reserved methods 2322193267Sjkim(starting with an underscore) are usually not referenced because it is 2323193267Sjkimexpected that the OS will invoke them. 2324167802Sjkim 2325167802Sjkim---------------------------------------- 2326167802Sjkim31 March 2006. Summary of changes for version 20060331: 2327167802Sjkim 2328167802Sjkim1) ACPI CA Core Subsystem: 2329167802Sjkim 2330193267SjkimImplemented header file support for the following additional ACPI tables: 2331193267SjkimASF!, BOOT, CPEP, DBGP, MCFG, SPCR, SPMI, TCPA, and WDRT. With this support, 2332193267Sjkimall current and known ACPI tables are now defined in the ACPICA headers and 2333193267Sjkimare available for use by device drivers and other software. 2334167802Sjkim 2335193267SjkimImplemented support to allow tables that contain ACPI names with invalid 2336193267Sjkimcharacters to be loaded. Previously, this would cause the table load to 2337193267Sjkimfail, but since there are several known cases of such tables on existing 2338193267Sjkimmachines, this change was made to enable ACPI support for them. Also, this 2339193267Sjkimmatches the behavior of the Microsoft ACPI implementation. 2340167802Sjkim 2341193267SjkimFixed a couple regressions introduced during the memory optimization in the 2342193267Sjkim20060317 release. The namespace node definition required additional 2343193267Sjkimreorganization and an internal datatype that had been changed to 8-bit was 2344193267Sjkimrestored to 32-bit. (Valery Podrezov) 2345167802Sjkim 2346193267SjkimFixed a problem where a null pointer passed to AcpiUtDeleteGenericState 2347193267Sjkimcould be passed through to AcpiOsReleaseObject which is unexpected. Such 2348193267Sjkimnull pointers are now trapped and ignored, matching the behavior of the 2349193267Sjkimprevious implementation before the deployment of AcpiOsReleaseObject. 2350167802Sjkim(Valery Podrezov, Fiodor Suietov) 2351167802Sjkim 2352193267SjkimFixed a memory mapping leak during the deletion of a SystemMemory operation 2353193267Sjkimregion where a cached memory mapping was not deleted. This became a 2354193267Sjkimnoticeable problem for operation regions that are defined within frequently 2355193267Sjkimused control methods. (Dana Meyers) 2356167802Sjkim 2357193267SjkimReorganized the ACPI table header files into two main files: one for the 2358193267SjkimACPI tables consumed by the ACPICA core, and another for the miscellaneous 2359193267SjkimACPI tables that are consumed by the drivers and other software. The various 2360193267SjkimFADT definitions were merged into one common section and three different 2361193267Sjkimtables (ACPI 1.0, 1.0+, and 2.0) 2362167802Sjkim 2363193267SjkimExample Code and Data Size: These are the sizes for the OS-independent 2364193267Sjkimacpica.lib produced by the Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0 32-bit compiler. The 2365193267Sjkimdebug version of the code includes the debug output trace mechanism and has 2366193267Sjkima much larger code and data size. 2367167802Sjkim 2368167802Sjkim Previous Release: 2369167802Sjkim Non-Debug Version: 80.9K Code, 17.7K Data, 98.6K Total 2370167802Sjkim Debug Version: 158.7K Code, 64.8K Data, 223.5K Total 2371167802Sjkim Current Release: 2372167802Sjkim Non-Debug Version: 81.1K Code, 17.7K Data, 98.8K Total 2373167802Sjkim Debug Version: 158.9K Code, 64.9K Data, 223.8K Total 2374167802Sjkim 2375167802Sjkim 2376167802Sjkim2) iASL Compiler/Disassembler and Tools: 2377167802Sjkim 2378193267SjkimDisassembler: Implemented support to decode and format all non-AML ACPI 2379193267Sjkimtables (tables other than DSDTs and SSDTs.) This includes the new tables 2380193267Sjkimadded to the ACPICA headers, therefore all current and known ACPI tables are 2381193267Sjkimsupported. 2382167802Sjkim 2383193267SjkimDisassembler: The change to allow ACPI names with invalid characters also 2384193267Sjkimenables the disassembly of such tables. Invalid characters within names are 2385193267Sjkimchanged to '*' to make the name printable; the iASL compiler will still 2386193267Sjkimgenerate an error for such names, however, since this is an invalid ACPI 2387193267Sjkimcharacter. 2388167802Sjkim 2389193267SjkimImplemented an option for AcpiXtract (-a) to extract all tables found in the 2390193267Sjkiminput file. The default invocation extracts only the DSDTs and SSDTs. 2391167802Sjkim 2392193267SjkimFixed a couple of gcc generation issues for iASL and AcpiExec and added a 2393193267Sjkimmakefile for the AcpiXtract utility. 2394167802Sjkim 2395167802Sjkim---------------------------------------- 2396167802Sjkim17 March 2006. Summary of changes for version 20060317: 2397167802Sjkim 2398167802Sjkim1) ACPI CA Core Subsystem: 2399167802Sjkim 2400193267SjkimImplemented the use of a cache object for all internal namespace nodes. 2401193267SjkimSince there are about 1000 static nodes in a typical system, this will 2402193267Sjkimdecrease memory use for cache implementations that minimize per-allocation 2403193267Sjkimoverhead (such as a slab allocator.) 2404167802Sjkim 2405193267SjkimRemoved the reference count mechanism for internal namespace nodes, since it 2406193267Sjkimwas deemed unnecessary. This reduces the size of each namespace node by 2407193267Sjkimabout 5%-10% on all platforms. Nodes are now 20 bytes for the 32-bit case, 2408193267Sjkimand 32 bytes for the 64-bit case. 2409167802Sjkim 2410193267SjkimOptimized several internal data structures to reduce object size on 64-bit 2411193267Sjkimplatforms by packing data within the 64-bit alignment. This includes the 2412193267Sjkimfrequently used ACPI_OPERAND_OBJECT, of which there can be ~1000 static 2413193267Sjkiminstances corresponding to the namespace objects. 2414167802Sjkim 2415193267SjkimAdded two new strings for the predefined _OSI method: "Windows 2001.1 SP1" 2416193267Sjkimand "Windows 2006". 2417167802Sjkim 2418193267SjkimSplit the allocation tracking mechanism out to a separate file, from 2419193267Sjkimutalloc.c to uttrack.c. This mechanism appears to be only useful for 2420193267Sjkimapplication-level code. Kernels may wish to not include uttrack.c in 2421193267Sjkimdistributions. 2422167802Sjkim 2423193267SjkimRemoved all remnants of the obsolete ACPI_REPORT_* macros and the associated 2424193267Sjkimcode. (These macros have been replaced by the ACPI_ERROR and ACPI_WARNING 2425193267Sjkimmacros.) 2426167802Sjkim 2427193267SjkimCode and Data Size: These are the sizes for the acpica.lib produced by the 2428193267SjkimMicrosoft Visual C++ 6.0 32-bit compiler. The values do not include any ACPI 2429193267Sjkimdriver or OSPM code. The debug version of the code includes the debug output 2430193267Sjkimtrace mechanism and has a much larger code and data size. Note that these 2431193267Sjkimvalues will vary depending on the efficiency of the compiler and the 2432193267Sjkimcompiler options used during generation. 2433167802Sjkim 2434167802Sjkim Previous Release: 2435167802Sjkim Non-Debug Version: 81.1K Code, 17.8K Data, 98.9K Total 2436167802Sjkim Debug Version: 161.6K Code, 65.7K Data, 227.3K Total 2437167802Sjkim Current Release: 2438167802Sjkim Non-Debug Version: 80.9K Code, 17.7K Data, 98.6K Total 2439167802Sjkim Debug Version: 158.7K Code, 64.8K Data, 223.5K Total 2440167802Sjkim 2441167802Sjkim 2442167802Sjkim2) iASL Compiler/Disassembler and Tools: 2443167802Sjkim 2444193267SjkimImplemented an ANSI C version of the acpixtract utility. This version will 2445193267Sjkimautomatically extract the DSDT and all SSDTs from the input acpidump text 2446193267Sjkimfile and dump the binary output to separate files. It can also display a 2447193267Sjkimsummary of the input file including the headers for each table found and 2448193267Sjkimwill extract any single ACPI table, with any signature. (See 2449167802Sjkimsource/tools/acpixtract) 2450167802Sjkim 2451167802Sjkim---------------------------------------- 2452167802Sjkim10 March 2006. Summary of changes for version 20060310: 2453167802Sjkim 2454167802Sjkim1) ACPI CA Core Subsystem: 2455167802Sjkim 2456193267SjkimTagged all external interfaces to the subsystem with the new 2457193267SjkimACPI_EXPORT_SYMBOL macro. This macro can be defined as necessary to assist 2458193267Sjkimkernel integration. For Linux, the macro resolves to the EXPORT_SYMBOL 2459193267Sjkimmacro. The default definition is NULL. 2460167802Sjkim 2461193267SjkimAdded the ACPI_THREAD_ID type for the return value from AcpiOsGetThreadId. 2462193267SjkimThis allows the host to define this as necessary to simplify kernel 2463193267Sjkimintegration. The default definition is ACPI_NATIVE_UINT. 2464167802Sjkim 2465193267SjkimFixed two interpreter problems related to error processing, the deletion of 2466193267Sjkimobjects, and placing invalid pointers onto the internal operator result 2467193267Sjkimstack. BZ 6028, 6151 (Valery Podrezov) 2468167802Sjkim 2469193267SjkimIncreased the reference count threshold where a warning is emitted for large 2470193267Sjkimreference counts in order to eliminate unnecessary warnings on systems with 2471193267Sjkimlarge namespaces (especially 64-bit.) Increased the value from 0x400 to 2472193267Sjkim0x800. 2473167802Sjkim 2474193267SjkimDue to universal disagreement as to the meaning of the 'c' in the calloc() 2475193267Sjkimfunction, the ACPI_MEM_CALLOCATE macro has been renamed to 2476193267SjkimACPI_ALLOCATE_ZEROED so that the purpose of the interface is 'clear'. 2477193267SjkimACPI_MEM_ALLOCATE and ACPI_MEM_FREE are renamed to ACPI_ALLOCATE and 2478193267SjkimACPI_FREE. 2479167802Sjkim 2480193267SjkimCode and Data Size: These are the sizes for the acpica.lib produced by the 2481193267SjkimMicrosoft Visual C++ 6.0 32-bit compiler. The values do not include any ACPI 2482193267Sjkimdriver or OSPM code. The debug version of the code includes the debug output 2483193267Sjkimtrace mechanism and has a much larger code and data size. Note that these 2484193267Sjkimvalues will vary depending on the efficiency of the compiler and the 2485193267Sjkimcompiler options used during generation. 2486167802Sjkim 2487167802Sjkim Previous Release: 2488167802Sjkim Non-Debug Version: 81.0K Code, 17.8K Data, 98.8K Total 2489167802Sjkim Debug Version: 161.4K Code, 65.7K Data, 227.1K Total 2490167802Sjkim Current Release: 2491167802Sjkim Non-Debug Version: 81.1K Code, 17.8K Data, 98.9K Total 2492167802Sjkim Debug Version: 161.6K Code, 65.7K Data, 227.3K Total 2493167802Sjkim 2494167802Sjkim 2495167802Sjkim2) iASL Compiler/Disassembler: 2496167802Sjkim 2497193267SjkimDisassembler: implemented support for symbolic resource descriptor 2498193267Sjkimreferences. If a CreateXxxxField operator references a fixed offset within a 2499193267Sjkimresource descriptor, a name is assigned to the descriptor and the offset is 2500193267Sjkimtranslated to the appropriate resource tag and pathname. The addition of 2501193267Sjkimthis support brings the disassembled code very close to the original ASL 2502193267Sjkimsource code and helps eliminate run-time errors when the disassembled code 2503193267Sjkimis modified (and recompiled) in such a way as to invalidate the original 2504193267Sjkimfixed offsets. 2505167802Sjkim 2506193267SjkimImplemented support for a Descriptor Name as the last parameter to the ASL 2507193267SjkimRegister() macro. This parameter was inadvertently left out of the ACPI 2508193267Sjkimspecification, and will be added for ACPI 3.0b. 2509167802Sjkim 2510193267SjkimFixed a problem where the use of the "_OSI" string (versus the full path 2511193267Sjkim"\_OSI") caused an internal compiler error. ("No back ptr to op") 2512167802Sjkim 2513193267SjkimFixed a problem with the error message that occurs when an invalid string is 2514193267Sjkimused for a _HID object (such as one with an embedded asterisk: "*PNP010A".) 2515193267SjkimThe correct message is now displayed. 2516167802Sjkim 2517167802Sjkim---------------------------------------- 2518167802Sjkim17 February 2006. Summary of changes for version 20060217: 2519167802Sjkim 2520167802Sjkim1) ACPI CA Core Subsystem: 2521167802Sjkim 2522193267SjkimImplemented a change to the IndexField support to match the behavior of the 2523193267SjkimMicrosoft AML interpreter. The value written to the Index register is now a 2524193267Sjkimbyte offset, no longer an index based upon the width of the Data register. 2525193267SjkimThis should fix IndexField problems seen on some machines where the Data 2526193267Sjkimregister is not exactly one byte wide. The ACPI specification will be 2527193267Sjkimclarified on this point. 2528167802Sjkim 2529193267SjkimFixed a problem where several resource descriptor types could overrun the 2530193267Sjkiminternal descriptor buffer due to size miscalculation: VendorShort, 2531193267SjkimVendorLong, and Interrupt. This was noticed on IA64 machines, but could 2532193267Sjkimaffect all platforms. 2533167802Sjkim 2534193267SjkimFixed a problem where individual resource descriptors were misaligned within 2535193267Sjkimthe internal buffer, causing alignment faults on IA64 platforms. 2536167802Sjkim 2537193267SjkimCode and Data Size: These are the sizes for the acpica.lib produced by the 2538193267SjkimMicrosoft Visual C++ 6.0 32-bit compiler. The values do not include any ACPI 2539193267Sjkimdriver or OSPM code. The debug version of the code includes the debug output 2540193267Sjkimtrace mechanism and has a much larger code and data size. Note that these 2541193267Sjkimvalues will vary depending on the efficiency of the compiler and the 2542193267Sjkimcompiler options used during generation. 2543167802Sjkim 2544167802Sjkim Previous Release: 2545167802Sjkim Non-Debug Version: 81.1K Code, 17.8K Data, 98.9K Total 2546167802Sjkim Debug Version: 161.3K Code, 65.6K Data, 226.9K Total 2547167802Sjkim Current Release: 2548167802Sjkim Non-Debug Version: 81.0K Code, 17.8K Data, 98.8K Total 2549167802Sjkim Debug Version: 161.4K Code, 65.7K Data, 227.1K Total 2550167802Sjkim 2551167802Sjkim 2552167802Sjkim2) iASL Compiler/Disassembler: 2553167802Sjkim 2554193267SjkimImplemented support for new reserved names: _WDG and _WED are Microsoft 2555193267Sjkimextensions for Windows Instrumentation Management, _TDL is a new ACPI- 2556193267Sjkimdefined method (Throttling Depth Limit.) 2557167802Sjkim 2558193267SjkimFixed a problem where a zero-length VendorShort or VendorLong resource 2559193267Sjkimdescriptor was incorrectly emitted as a descriptor of length one. 2560167802Sjkim 2561167802Sjkim---------------------------------------- 2562167802Sjkim10 February 2006. Summary of changes for version 20060210: 2563167802Sjkim 2564167802Sjkim1) ACPI CA Core Subsystem: 2565167802Sjkim 2566193267SjkimRemoved a couple of extraneous ACPI_ERROR messages that appeared during 2567193267Sjkimnormal execution. These became apparent after the conversion from 2568193267SjkimACPI_DEBUG_PRINT. 2569167802Sjkim 2570193267SjkimFixed a problem where the CreateField operator could hang if the BitIndex or 2571193267SjkimNumBits parameter referred to a named object. (Valery Podrezov, BZ 5359) 2572167802Sjkim 2573193267SjkimFixed a problem where a DeRefOf operation on a buffer object incorrectly 2574193267Sjkimfailed with an exception. This also fixes a couple of related RefOf and 2575193267SjkimDeRefOf issues. (Valery Podrezov, BZ 5360/5392/5387) 2576167802Sjkim 2577193267SjkimFixed a problem where the AE_BUFFER_LIMIT exception was returned instead of 2578193267SjkimAE_STRING_LIMIT on an out-of-bounds Index() operation. (Valery Podrezov, BZ 2579193267Sjkim5480) 2580167802Sjkim 2581193267SjkimImplemented a memory cleanup at the end of the execution of each iteration 2582193267Sjkimof an AML While() loop, preventing the accumulation of outstanding objects. 2583193267Sjkim(Valery Podrezov, BZ 5427) 2584167802Sjkim 2585193267SjkimEliminated a chunk of duplicate code in the object resolution code.

Summary of changes for version 20060127: 2617167802Sjkim 2618167802Sjkim1) ACPI CA Core Subsystem: 2619167802Sjkim 2620193267SjkimImplemented support in the Resource Manager to allow unresolved namestring 2621193267Sjkimreferences within resource package objects for the _PRT method. This support 2622193267Sjkimis in addition to the previously implemented unresolved reference support 2623193267Sjkimwithin the AML parser. If the interpreter slack mode is enabled, these 2624193267Sjkimunresolved references will be passed through to the caller as a NULL package 2625167802Sjkimentry. 2626167802Sjkim 2627193267SjkimImplemented and deployed new macros and functions for error and warning 2628193267Sjkimmessages across the subsystem. These macros are simpler and generate less 2629193267Sjkimcode than their predecessors. The new macros ACPI_ERROR, ACPI_EXCEPTION, 2630193267SjkimACPI_WARNING, and ACPI_INFO replace the ACPI_REPORT_* macros. The older 2631193267Sjkimmacros remain defined to allow ACPI drivers time to migrate to the new 2632193267Sjkimmacros. 2633167802Sjkim 2634193267SjkimImplemented the ACPI_CPU_FLAGS type to simplify host OS integration of the 2635193267SjkimAcquire/Release Lock OSL interfaces. 2636167802Sjkim 2637193267SjkimFixed a problem where Alias ASL operators are sometimes not correctly 2638193267Sjkimresolved, in both the interpreter and the iASL compiler. 2639167802Sjkim 2640193267SjkimFixed several problems with the implementation of the ConcatenateResTemplate 2641193267SjkimASL operator. As per the ACPI specification, zero length buffers are now 2642193267Sjkimtreated as a single EndTag. One-length buffers always cause a fatal 2643193267Sjkimexception. Non-zero length buffers that do not end with a full 2-byte EndTag 2644167802Sjkimcause a fatal exception. 2645167802Sjkim 2646193267SjkimFixed a possible structure overwrite in the AcpiGetObjectInfo external 2647193267Sjkiminterface. (With assistance from Thomas Renninger) 2648167802Sjkim 2649193267SjkimCode and Data Size: The current and previous library sizes for the core 2650193267Sjkimsubsystem are shown below.

Summary of changes for version 20060113: 2672167802Sjkim 2673167802Sjkim1) ACPI CA Core Subsystem: 2674167802Sjkim 2675193267SjkimAdded 2006 copyright to all module headers and signons. This affects 2676193267Sjkimvirtually every file in the ACPICA core subsystem, iASL compiler, and the 2677193267Sjkimutilities. 2678193267Sjkim 2679193267SjkimEnhanced the ACPICA error reporting in order to simplify user migration to 2680193267Sjkimthe non-debug version of ACPICA. Replaced all instances of the 2681193267SjkimACPI_DEBUG_PRINT macro invoked at the ACPI_DB_ERROR and ACPI_DB_WARN debug 2682193267Sjkimlevels with the ACPI_REPORT_ERROR and ACPI_REPORT_WARNING macros, 2683193267Sjkimrespectively. This preserves all error and warning messages in the non-debug 2684193267Sjkimversion of the ACPICA code (this has been referred to as the "debug lite" 2685193267Sjkimoption.) Over 200 cases were converted to create a total of over 380 2686193267Sjkimerror/warning messages across the ACPICA code. This increases the code and 2687193267Sjkimdata size of the default non-debug version of the code somewhat (about 13K), 2688193267Sjkimbut all error/warning reporting may be disabled if desired (and code 2689193267Sjkimeliminated) by specifying the ACPI_NO_ERROR_MESSAGES compile-time 2690193267Sjkimconfiguration option. The size of the debug version of ACPICA remains about 2691193267Sjkimthe same. 2692167802Sjkim 2693193267SjkimFixed a memory leak within the AML Debugger "Set" command. One object was 2694193267Sjkimnot properly deleted for every successful invocation of the command. 2695167802Sjkim 2696193267SjkimCode and Data Size: The current and previous library sizes for the core 2697193267Sjkimsubsystem are shown below. These are the code and data sizes for the 2698193267Sjkimacpica.lib produced by the Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0 32-bit compiler. These 2699193267Sjkimvalues do not include any ACPI driver or OSPM code.

Note that these values will vary depending on the efficiency 2702193267Sjkimof the compiler and the compiler options used during generation. 2703167802Sjkim 2704167802Sjkim Previous Release: 2705167802Sjkim Non-Debug Version: 76.6K Code, 12.3K Data, 88.9K Total 2706167802Sjkim Debug Version: 163.7K Code, 67.5K Data, 231.2K Total 2707167802Sjkim Current Release: 2708167802Sjkim Non-Debug Version: 83.1K Code, 18.4K Data, 101.5K Total 2709167802Sjkim Debug Version: 163.2K Code, 66.2K Data, 229.4K Total 2710167802Sjkim 2711167802Sjkim 2712167802Sjkim2) iASL Compiler/Disassembler: 2713167802Sjkim 2714193267SjkimThe compiler now officially supports the ACPI 3.0a specification that was 2715193267Sjkimreleased on December 30, 2005. (Specification is available at www.acpi.info) 2716167802Sjkim 2717167802Sjkim---------------------------------------- 2718167802Sjkim16 December 2005. Summary of changes for version 20051216: 2719167802Sjkim 2720167802Sjkim1) ACPI CA Core Subsystem: 2721167802Sjkim 2722193267SjkimImplemented optional support to allow unresolved names within ASL Package 2723193267Sjkimobjects. A null object is inserted in the package when a named reference 2724193267Sjkimcannot be located in the current namespace. Enabled via the interpreter 2725193267Sjkimslack flag, this should eliminate AE_NOT_FOUND exceptions seen on machines 2726193267Sjkimthat contain such code. 2727167802Sjkim 2728193267SjkimImplemented an optimization to the initialization sequence that can improve 2729193267Sjkimboot time. During ACPI device initialization, the _STA method is now run if 2730193267Sjkimand only if the _INI method exists. The _STA method is used to determine if 2731193267Sjkimthe device is present; An _INI can only be run if _STA returns present, but 2732193267Sjkimit is a waste of time to run the _STA method if the _INI does not exist. 2733167802Sjkim(Prototype and assistance from Dong Wei) 2734167802Sjkim 2735193267SjkimImplemented use of the C99 uintptr_t for the pointer casting macros if it is 2736193267Sjkimavailable in the current compiler. Otherwise, the default (void *) cast is 2737193267Sjkimused as before. 2738167802Sjkim 2739193267SjkimFixed some possible memory leaks found within the execution path of the 2740193267SjkimBreak, Continue, If, and CreateField operators. (Valery Podrezov) 2741167802Sjkim 2742193267SjkimFixed a problem introduced in the 20051202 release where an exception is 2743193267Sjkimgenerated during method execution if a control method attempts to declare 2744193267Sjkimanother method. 2745167802Sjkim 2746193267SjkimMoved resource descriptor string constants that are used by both the AML 2747193267Sjkimdisassembler and AML debugger to the common utilities directory so that 2748193267Sjkimthese components are independent. 2749167802Sjkim 2750193267SjkimImplemented support in the AcpiExec utility (-e switch) to globally ignore 2751193267Sjkimexceptions during control method execution (method is not aborted.) 2752167802Sjkim 2753193267SjkimAdded the rsinfo.c source file to the AcpiExec makefile for Linux/Unix 2754193267Sjkimgeneration. 2755167802Sjkim 2756193267SjkimCode and Data Size: The current and previous library sizes for the core 2757193267Sjkimsubsystem are shown below.

Summary of changes for version 20051202: 2779167802Sjkim 2780167802Sjkim1) ACPI CA Core Subsystem: 2781167802Sjkim 2782193267SjkimModified the parsing of control methods to no longer create namespace 2783193267Sjkimobjects during the first pass of the parse. Objects are now created only 2784193267Sjkimduring the execute phase, at the moment the namespace creation operator is 2785193267Sjkimencountered in the AML (Name, OperationRegion, CreateByteField, etc.) This 2786193267Sjkimshould eliminate ALREADY_EXISTS exceptions seen on some machines where 2787193267Sjkimreentrant control methods are protected by an AML mutex. The mutex will now 2788193267Sjkimcorrectly block multiple threads from attempting to create the same object 2789193267Sjkimmore than once. 2790167802Sjkim 2791193267SjkimIncreased the number of available Owner Ids for namespace object tracking 2792193267Sjkimfrom 32 to 255. This should eliminate the OWNER_ID_LIMIT exceptions seen on 2793193267Sjkimsome machines with a large number of ACPI tables (either static or dynamic). 2794167802Sjkim 2795193267SjkimFixed a problem with the AcpiExec utility where a fault could occur when the 2796193267Sjkim-b switch (batch mode) is used. 2797167802Sjkim 2798193267SjkimEnhanced the namespace dump routine to output the owner ID for each 2799193267Sjkimnamespace object. 2800167802Sjkim 2801193267SjkimCode and Data Size: The current and previous library sizes for the core 2802193267Sjkimsubsystem are shown below. These are the code and data sizes for the 2803193267Sjkimacpica.lib produced by the Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0 32-bit compiler. These 2804193267Sjkimvalues do not include any ACPI driver or OSPM code.

Note that these values will vary depending on the efficiency 2807193267Sjkimof the compiler and the compiler options used during generation. 2808167802Sjkim 2809167802Sjkim Previous Release: 2810167802Sjkim Non-Debug Version: 76.3K Code, 12.3K Data, 88.6K Total 2811167802Sjkim Debug Version: 163.0K Code, 67.4K Data, 230.4K Total 2812167802Sjkim Current Release: 2813167802Sjkim Non-Debug Version: 76.3K Code, 12.3K Data, 88.6K Total 2814167802Sjkim Debug Version: 163.2K Code, 67.4K Data, 230.6K Total 2815167802Sjkim 2816167802Sjkim 2817167802Sjkim2) iASL Compiler/Disassembler: 2818167802Sjkim 2819193267SjkimFixed a parse error during compilation of certain Switch/Case constructs. To 2820193267Sjkimsimplify the parse, the grammar now allows for multiple Default statements 2821193267Sjkimand this error is now detected and flagged during the analysis phase. 2822167802Sjkim 2823193267SjkimDisassembler: The disassembly now includes the contents of the original 2824193267Sjkimtable header within a comment at the start of the file. This includes the 2825193267Sjkimname and version of the original ASL compiler. 2826167802Sjkim 2827167802Sjkim---------------------------------------- 2828167802Sjkim17 November 2005. Summary of changes for version 20051117: 2829167802Sjkim 2830167802Sjkim1) ACPI CA Core Subsystem: 2831167802Sjkim 2832193267SjkimFixed a problem in the AML parser where the method thread count could be 2833193267Sjkimdecremented below zero if any errors occurred during the method parse phase. 2834193267SjkimThis should eliminate AE_AML_METHOD_LIMIT exceptions seen on some machines. 2835193267SjkimThis also fixed a related regression with the mechanism that detects and 2836193267Sjkimcorrects methods that cannot properly handle reentrancy (related to the 2837193267Sjkimdeployment of the new OwnerId mechanism.) 2838167802Sjkim 2839193267SjkimEliminated the pre-parsing of control methods (to detect errors) during 2840193267Sjkimtable load. Related to the problem above, this was causing unwind issues if 2841193267Sjkimany errors occurred during the parse, and it seemed to be overkill. A table 2842193267Sjkimload should not be aborted if there are problems with any single control 2843193267Sjkimmethod, thus rendering this feature rather pointless. 2844167802Sjkim 2845193267SjkimFixed a problem with the new table-driven resource manager where an internal 2846193267Sjkimbuffer overflow could occur for small resource templates. 2847167802Sjkim 2848193267SjkimImplemented a new external interface, AcpiGetVendorResource. This interface 2849193267Sjkimwill find and return a vendor-defined resource descriptor within a _CRS or 2850193267Sjkim_PRS method via an ACPI 3.0 UUID match. With assistance from Bjorn Helgaas. 2851167802Sjkim 2852193267SjkimRemoved the length limit (200) on string objects as per the upcoming ACPI 2853193267Sjkim3.0A specification. This affects the following areas of the interpreter: 1) 2854193267Sjkimany implicit conversion of a Buffer to a String, 2) a String object result 2855193267Sjkimof the ASL Concatentate operator, 3) the String object result of the ASL 2856193267SjkimToString operator. 2857167802Sjkim 2858193267SjkimFixed a problem in the Windows OS interface layer (OSL) where a WAIT_FOREVER 2859193267Sjkimon a semaphore object would incorrectly timeout. This allows the 2860193267Sjkimmultithreading features of the AcpiExec utility to work properly under 2861193267SjkimWindows. 2862167802Sjkim 2863193267SjkimUpdated the Linux makefiles for the iASL compiler and AcpiExec to include 2864193267Sjkimthe recently added file named "utresrc.c". 2865167802Sjkim 2866193267SjkimCode and Data Size: The current and previous library sizes for the core 2867193267Sjkimsubsystem are shown below. These are the code and data sizes for the 2868193267Sjkimacpica.lib produced by the Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0 32-bit compiler. These 2869193267Sjkimvalues do not include any ACPI driver or OSPM code. The debug version of the 2870193267Sjkimcode includes the debug output trace mechanism and has a much larger code 2871193267Sjkimand data size. Note that these values will vary depending on the efficiency 2872193267Sjkimof the compiler and the compiler options used during generation. 2873167802Sjkim 2874167802Sjkim Previous Release: 2875167802Sjkim Non-Debug Version: 76.2K Code, 12.3K Data, 88.5K Total 2876167802Sjkim Debug Version: 163.0K Code, 67.4K Data, 230.4K Total 2877167802Sjkim Current Release: 2878167802Sjkim Non-Debug Version: 76.3K Code, 12.3K Data, 88.6K Total 2879167802Sjkim Debug Version: 163.0K Code, 67.4K Data, 230.4K Total 2880167802Sjkim 2881167802Sjkim 2882167802Sjkim2) iASL Compiler/Disassembler: 2883167802Sjkim 2884193267SjkimRemoved the limit (200) on string objects as per the upcoming ACPI 3.0A 2885193267Sjkimspecification. For the iASL compiler, this means that string literals within 2886193267Sjkimthe source ASL can be of any length. 2887167802Sjkim 2888193267SjkimEnhanced the listing output to dump the AML code for resource descriptors 2889193267Sjkimimmediately after the ASL code for each descriptor, instead of in a block at 2890193267Sjkimthe end of the entire resource template. 2891167802Sjkim 2892193267SjkimEnhanced the compiler debug output to dump the entire original parse tree 2893193267Sjkimconstructed during the parse phase, before any transforms are applied to the 2894193267Sjkimtree. The transformed tree is dumped also. 2895167802Sjkim 2896167802Sjkim---------------------------------------- 2897167802Sjkim02 November 2005. Summary of changes for version 20051102: 2898167802Sjkim 2899167802Sjkim1) ACPI CA Core Subsystem: 2900167802Sjkim 2901193267SjkimModified the subsystem initialization sequence to improve GPE support. The 2902193267SjkimGPE initialization has been split into two parts in order to defer execution 2903193267Sjkimof the _PRW methods (Power Resources for Wake) until after the hardware is 2904193267Sjkimfully initialized and the SCI handler is installed. This allows the _PRW 2905193267Sjkimmethods to access fields protected by the Global Lock. This will fix systems 2906193267Sjkimwhere a NO_GLOBAL_LOCK exception has been seen during initialization. 2907167802Sjkim 2908193267SjkimConverted the ACPI internal object disassemble and display code within the 2909193267SjkimAML debugger to fully table-driven operation, reducing code size and 2910193267Sjkimincreasing maintainability. 2911167802Sjkim 2912193267SjkimFixed a regression with the ConcatenateResTemplate() ASL operator introduced 2913193267Sjkimin the 20051021 release. 2914167802Sjkim 2915193267SjkimImplemented support for "local" internal ACPI object types within the 2916193267Sjkimdebugger "Object" command and the AcpiWalkNamespace external interfaces. 2917193267SjkimThese local types include RegionFields, BankFields, IndexFields, Alias, and 2918193267Sjkimreference objects. 2919167802Sjkim 2920193267SjkimMoved common AML resource handling code into a new file, "utresrc.c". This 2921193267Sjkimcode is shared by both the Resource Manager and the AML Debugger. 2922167802Sjkim 2923193267SjkimCode and Data Size: The current and previous library sizes for the core 2924193267Sjkimsubsystem are shown below. These are the code and data sizes for the 2925193267Sjkimacpica.lib produced by the Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0 32-bit compiler. These 2926193267Sjkimvalues do not include any ACPI driver or OSPM code. The debug version of the 2927193267Sjkimcode includes the debug output trace mechanism and has a much larger code 2928193267Sjkimand data size. Note that these values will vary depending on the efficiency 2929193267Sjkimof the compiler and the compiler options used during generation. 2930167802Sjkim 2931167802Sjkim Previous Release: 2932167802Sjkim Non-Debug Version: 76.1K Code, 12.2K Data, 88.3K Total 2933167802Sjkim Debug Version: 163.5K Code, 67.0K Data, 230.5K Total 2934167802Sjkim Current Release: 2935167802Sjkim Non-Debug Version: 76.2K Code, 12.3K Data, 88.5K Total 2936167802Sjkim Debug Version: 163.0K Code, 67.4K Data, 230.4K Total 2937167802Sjkim 2938167802Sjkim 2939167802Sjkim2) iASL Compiler/Disassembler: 2940167802Sjkim 2941193267SjkimFixed a problem with very large initializer lists (more than 4000 elements) 2942193267Sjkimfor both Buffer and Package objects where the parse stack could overflow. 2943167802Sjkim 2944193267SjkimEnhanced the pre-compile source code scan for non-ASCII characters to ignore 2945193267Sjkimcharacters within comment fields. The scan is now always performed and is no 2946193267Sjkimlonger optional, detecting invalid characters within a source file 2947193267Sjkimimmediately rather than during the parse phase or later. 2948167802Sjkim 2949193267SjkimEnhanced the ASL grammar definition to force early reductions on all list- 2950193267Sjkimstyle grammar elements so that the overall parse stack usage is greatly 2951193267Sjkimreduced. This should improve performance and reduce the possibility of parse 2952193267Sjkimstack overflow. 2953167802Sjkim 2954193267SjkimEliminated all reduce/reduce conflicts in the iASL parser generation. Also, 2955193267Sjkimwith the addition of a %expected statement, the compiler generates from 2956193267Sjkimsource with no warnings. 2957167802Sjkim 2958193267SjkimFixed a possible segment fault in the disassembler if the input filename 2959193267Sjkimdoes not contain a "dot" extension (Thomas Renninger). 2960167802Sjkim 2961167802Sjkim---------------------------------------- 2962151937Sjkim21 October 2005. Summary of changes for version 20051021: 2963151937Sjkim 2964151937Sjkim1) ACPI CA Core Subsystem: 2965151937Sjkim 2966193267SjkimImplemented support for the EM64T and other x86-64 processors. This 2967193267Sjkimessentially entails recognizing that these processors support non-aligned 2968193267Sjkimmemory transfers. Previously, all 64-bit processors were assumed to lack 2969193267Sjkimhardware support for non-aligned transfers. 2970151937Sjkim 2971193267SjkimCompleted conversion of the Resource Manager to nearly full table-driven 2972193267Sjkimoperation. Specifically, the resource conversion code (convert AML to 2973193267Sjkiminternal format and the reverse) and the debug code to dump internal 2974193267Sjkimresource descriptors are fully table-driven, reducing code and data size and 2975193267Sjkimimproving maintainability. 2976151937Sjkim 2977193267SjkimThe OSL interfaces for Acquire and Release Lock now use a 64-bit flag word 2978193267Sjkimon 64-bit processors instead of a fixed 32-bit word. (With assistance from 2979193267SjkimAlexey Starikovskiy) 2980151937Sjkim 2981193267SjkimImplemented support within the resource conversion code for the Type- 2982193267SjkimSpecific byte within the various ACPI 3.0 *WordSpace macros. 2983151937Sjkim 2984193267SjkimFixed some issues within the resource conversion code for the type-specific 2985193267Sjkimflags for both Memory and I/O address resource descriptors. For Memory, 2986193267Sjkimimplemented support for the MTP and TTP flags. For I/O, split the TRS and 2987193267SjkimTTP flags into two separate fields. 2988151937Sjkim 2989193267SjkimCode and Data Size: The current and previous library sizes for the core 2990193267Sjkimsubsystem are shown below. These are the code and data sizes for the 2991193267Sjkimacpica.lib produced by the Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0 32-bit compiler. These 2992193267Sjkimvalues do not include any ACPI driver or OSPM code. The debug version of the 2993193267Sjkimcode includes the debug output trace mechanism and has a much larger code 2994193267Sjkimand data size. Note that these values will vary depending on the efficiency 2995193267Sjkimof the compiler and the compiler options used during generation. 2996151937Sjkim 2997151937Sjkim Previous Release: 2998151937Sjkim Non-Debug Version: 77.1K Code, 12.1K Data, 89.2K Total 2999151937Sjkim Debug Version: 168.0K Code, 68.3K Data, 236.3K Total 3000151937Sjkim Current Release: 3001151937Sjkim Non-Debug Version: 76.1K Code, 12.2K Data, 88.3K Total 3002151937Sjkim Debug Version: 163.5K Code, 67.0K Data, 230.5K Total 3003151937Sjkim 3004151937Sjkim 3005167802Sjkim 3006151937Sjkim2) iASL Compiler/Disassembler: 3007151937Sjkim 3008193267SjkimRelaxed a compiler restriction that disallowed a ResourceIndex byte if the 3009193267Sjkimcorresponding ResourceSource string was not also present in a resource 3010193267Sjkimdescriptor declaration. This restriction caused problems with existing 3011193267SjkimAML/ASL code that includes the Index byte without the string. When such AML 3012193267Sjkimwas disassembled, it could not be compiled without modification. Further, 3013193267Sjkimthe modified code created a resource template with a different size than the 3014193267Sjkimoriginal, breaking code that used fixed offsets into the resource template 3015193267Sjkimbuffer. 3016151937Sjkim 3017193267SjkimRemoved a recent feature of the disassembler to ignore a lone ResourceIndex 3018193267Sjkimbyte. This byte is now emitted if present so that the exact AML can be 3019193267Sjkimreproduced when the disassembled code is recompiled. 3020151937Sjkim 3021193267SjkimImproved comments and text alignment for the resource descriptor code 3022193267Sjkimemitted by the disassembler. 3023151937Sjkim 3024193267SjkimImplemented disassembler support for the ACPI 3.0 AccessSize field within a 3025193267SjkimRegister() resource descriptor. 3026151937Sjkim 3027151937Sjkim---------------------------------------- 3028151937Sjkim30 September 2005. Summary of changes for version 20050930: 3029151937Sjkim 3030151937Sjkim1) ACPI CA Core Subsystem: 3031151937Sjkim 3032193267SjkimCompleted a major overhaul of the Resource Manager code - specifically, 3033193267Sjkimoptimizations in the area of the AML/internal resource conversion code. The 3034193267Sjkimcode has been optimized to simplify and eliminate duplicated code, CPU stack 3035193267Sjkimuse has been decreased by optimizing function parameters and local 3036193267Sjkimvariables, and naming conventions across the manager have been standardized 3037193267Sjkimfor clarity and ease of maintenance (this includes function, parameter, 3038193267Sjkimvariable, and struct/typedef names.) The update may force changes in some 3039193267Sjkimdriver code, depending on how resources are handled by the host OS. 3040151937Sjkim 3041193267SjkimAll Resource Manager dispatch and information tables have been moved to a 3042193267Sjkimsingle location for clarity and ease of maintenance. One new file was 3043193267Sjkimcreated, named "rsinfo.c". 3044151937Sjkim 3045193267SjkimThe ACPI return macros (return_ACPI_STATUS, etc.) have been modified to 3046193267Sjkimguarantee that the argument is not evaluated twice, making them less prone 3047193267Sjkimto macro side-effects. However, since there exists the possibility of 3048193267Sjkimadditional stack use if a particular compiler cannot optimize them (such as 3049193267Sjkimin the debug generation case), the original macros are optionally available. 3050193267SjkimNote that some invocations of the return_VALUE macro may now cause size 3051193267Sjkimmismatch warnings; the return_UINT8 and return_UINT32 macros are provided to 3052193267Sjkimeliminate these. (From Randy Dunlap) 3053151937Sjkim 3054193267SjkimImplemented a new mechanism to enable debug tracing for individual control 3055193267Sjkimmethods. A new external interface, AcpiDebugTrace, is provided to enable 3056193267Sjkimthis mechanism. The intent is to allow the host OS to easily enable and 3057193267Sjkimdisable tracing for problematic control methods. This interface can be 3058193267Sjkimeasily exposed to a user or debugger interface if desired. See the file 3059151937Sjkimpsxface.c for details. 3060151937Sjkim 3061193267SjkimAcpiUtCallocate will now return a valid pointer if a length of zero is 3062193267Sjkimspecified - a length of one is used and a warning is issued. This matches 3063193267Sjkimthe behavior of AcpiUtAllocate. 3064151937Sjkim 3065193267SjkimCode and Data Size: The current and previous library sizes for the core 3066193267Sjkimsubsystem are shown below. These are the code and data sizes for the 3067193267Sjkimacpica.lib produced by the Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0 32-bit compiler. These 3068193267Sjkimvalues do not include any ACPI driver or OSPM code. The debug version of the 3069193267Sjkimcode includes the debug output trace mechanism and has a much larger code 3070193267Sjkimand data size. Note that these values will vary depending on the efficiency 3071193267Sjkimof the compiler and the compiler options used during generation. 3072151937Sjkim 3073151937Sjkim Previous Release: 3074151937Sjkim Non-Debug Version: 77.5K Code, 12.0K Data, 89.5K Total 3075151937Sjkim Debug Version: 168.1K Code, 68.4K Data, 236.5K Total 3076151937Sjkim Current Release: 3077151937Sjkim Non-Debug Version: 77.1K Code, 12.1K Data, 89.2K Total 3078151937Sjkim Debug Version: 168.0K Code, 68.3K Data, 236.3K Total 3079151937Sjkim 3080151937Sjkim 3081151937Sjkim2) iASL Compiler/Disassembler: 3082151937Sjkim 3083193267SjkimA remark is issued if the effective compile-time length of a package or 3084193267Sjkimbuffer is zero. Previously, this was a warning. 3085151937Sjkim 3086151937Sjkim---------------------------------------- 3087151937Sjkim16 September 2005. Summary of changes for version 20050916: 3088151937Sjkim 3089151937Sjkim1) ACPI CA Core Subsystem: 3090151937Sjkim 3091193267SjkimFixed a problem within the Resource Manager where support for the Generic 3092193267SjkimRegister descriptor was not fully implemented. This descriptor is now fully 3093193267Sjkimrecognized, parsed, disassembled, and displayed. 3094151937Sjkim 3095193267SjkimCompletely restructured the Resource Manager code to utilize table-driven 3096193267Sjkimdispatch and lookup, eliminating many of the large switch() statements. This 3097193267Sjkimreduces overall subsystem code size and code complexity. Affects the 3098193267Sjkimresource parsing and construction, disassembly, and debug dump output. 3099151937Sjkim 3100193267SjkimCleaned up and restructured the debug dump output for all resource 3101193267Sjkimdescriptors. Improved readability of the output and reduced code size. 3102151937Sjkim 3103193267SjkimFixed a problem where changes to internal data structures caused the 3104193267Sjkimoptional ACPI_MUTEX_DEBUG code to fail compilation if specified. 3105151937Sjkim 3106193267SjkimCode and Data Size: The current and previous library sizes for the core 3107193267Sjkimsubsystem are shown below. These are the code and data sizes for the 3108193267Sjkimacpica.lib produced by the Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0 32-bit compiler. These 3109193267Sjkimvalues do not include any ACPI driver or OSPM code.

Also, escape sequences within a ResourceSource string are now 3132193267Sjkimhandled correctly (especially "\\") 3133151937Sjkim 3134151937Sjkim---------------------------------------- 3135151937Sjkim02 September 2005. Summary of changes for version 20050902: 3136151937Sjkim 3137151937Sjkim1) ACPI CA Core Subsystem: 3138151937Sjkim 3139193267SjkimFixed a problem with the internal Owner ID allocation and deallocation 3140193267Sjkimmechanisms for control method execution and recursive method invocation. 3141193267SjkimThis should eliminate the OWNER_ID_LIMIT exceptions and "Invalid OwnerId" 3142193267Sjkimmessages seen on some systems. Recursive method invocation depth is 3143193267Sjkimcurrently limited to 255. (Alexey Starikovskiy) 3144151937Sjkim 3145193267SjkimCompletely eliminated all vestiges of support for the "module-level 3146193267Sjkimexecutable code" until this support is fully implemented and debugged. This 3147193267Sjkimshould eliminate the NO_RETURN_VALUE exceptions seen during table load on 3148193267Sjkimsome systems that invoke this support. 3149151937Sjkim 3150193267SjkimFixed a problem within the resource manager code where the transaction flags 3151193267Sjkimfor a 64-bit address descriptor were handled incorrectly in the type- 3152193267Sjkimspecific flag byte. 3153151937Sjkim 3154193267SjkimConsolidated duplicate code within the address descriptor resource manager 3155193267Sjkimcode, reducing overall subsystem code size. 3156151937Sjkim 3157193267SjkimFixed a fault when using the AML debugger "disassemble" command to 3158193267Sjkimdisassemble individual control methods. 3159151937Sjkim 3160193267SjkimRemoved references to the "release_current" directory within the Unix 3161193267Sjkimrelease package. 3162151937Sjkim 3163193267SjkimCode and Data Size: The current and previous core subsystem library sizes 3164193267Sjkimare shown below. These are the code and data sizes for the acpica.lib 3165193267Sjkimproduced by the Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0 compiler. These values do not 3166193267Sjkiminclude any ACPI driver or OSPM code. The debug version of the code includes 3167193267Sjkimthe debug output trace mechanism and has a much larger code and data size. 3168193267SjkimNote that these values will vary depending on the efficiency of the compiler 3169193267Sjkimand the compiler options used during generation. 3170151937Sjkim 3171151937Sjkim Previous Release: 3172151937Sjkim Non-Debug Version: 78.6K Code, 11.7K Data, 90.3K Total 3173151937Sjkim Debug Version: 170.0K Code, 69.9K Data, 239.9K Total 3174151937Sjkim Current Release: 3175151937Sjkim Non-Debug Version: 78.4K Code, 11.8K Data, 90.2K Total 3176151937Sjkim Debug Version: 169.6K Code, 69.9K Data, 239.5K Total 3177151937Sjkim 3178151937Sjkim 3179151937Sjkim2) iASL Compiler/Disassembler: 3180151937Sjkim 3181193267SjkimImplemented an error check for illegal duplicate values in the interrupt and 3182193267Sjkimdma lists for the following ASL macros: Dma(), Irq(), IrqNoFlags(), and 3183193267SjkimInterrupt(). 3184151937Sjkim 3185193267SjkimImplemented error checking for the Irq() and IrqNoFlags() macros to detect 3186193267Sjkimtoo many values in the interrupt list (16 max) and invalid values in the 3187193267Sjkimlist (range 0 - 15) 3188151937Sjkim 3189193267SjkimThe maximum length string literal within an ASL file is now restricted to 3190193267Sjkim200 characters as per the ACPI specification. 3191151937Sjkim 3192193267SjkimFixed a fault when using the -ln option (generate namespace listing). 3193151937Sjkim 3194193267SjkimImplemented an error check to determine if a DescriptorName within a 3195193267Sjkimresource descriptor has already been used within the current scope. 3196151937Sjkim 3197151937Sjkim---------------------------------------- 3198151937Sjkim15 August 2005.

The compare is performed if the table 3204193267Sjkimsignatures and table lengths match. This will allow different tables with 3205193267Sjkimthe same OEM Table ID and revision to be loaded - probably against the ACPI 3206193267Sjkimspecification, but discovered in the field nonetheless. 3207193267Sjkim 3208193267SjkimAdded the changes.txt logfile to each of the zipped release packages. 3209193267Sjkim 3210193267SjkimCode and Data Size: Current and previous core subsystem library sizes are 3211193267Sjkimshown below. These are the code and data sizes for the acpica.lib produced 3212193267Sjkimby the Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0 compiler, and these values do not include 3213193267Sjkimany ACPI driver or OSPM code. The debug version of the code includes the 3214193267Sjkimdebug output trace mechanism and has a much larger code and data size. Note 3215193267Sjkimthat these values will vary depending on the efficiency of the compiler and 3216193267Sjkimthe compiler options used during generation. 3217193267Sjkim 3218151937Sjkim Previous Release: 3219151937Sjkim Non-Debug Version: 78.6K Code, 11.7K Data, 90.3K Total 3220151937Sjkim Debug Version: 167.0K Code, 69.9K Data, 236.9K Total 3221151937Sjkim Current Release: 3222151937Sjkim Non-Debug Version: 78.6K Code, 11.7K Data, 90.3K Total 3223151937Sjkim Debug Version: 170.0K Code, 69.9K Data, 239.9K Total 3224193267Sjkim 3225193267Sjkim 3226151937Sjkim2) iASL Compiler/Disassembler: 3227193267Sjkim 3228193267SjkimFixed a problem where incorrect AML code could be generated for Package 3229193267Sjkimobjects if optimization is disabled (via the -oa switch). 3230193267Sjkim 3231193267SjkimFixed a problem with where incorrect AML code is generated for variable- 3232193267Sjkimlength packages when the package length is not specified and the number of 3233193267Sjkiminitializer values is greater than 255. 3234193267Sjkim 3235151937Sjkim 3236151937Sjkim---------------------------------------- 3237151937Sjkim29 July 2005.

Apparently there exists BIOS code that repeatedly 3243193267Sjkimattempts to load the same SSDT upon certain events. With assistance from 3244193267SjkimVenkatesh Pallipadi. 3245151937Sjkim 3246193267SjkimRestructured the main interface to the AML parser in order to correctly 3247193267Sjkimhandle all exceptional conditions. This will prevent leakage of the OwnerId 3248193267Sjkimresource and should eliminate the AE_OWNER_ID_LIMIT exceptions seen on some 3249193267Sjkimmachines. With assistance from Alexey Starikovskiy. 3250151937Sjkim 3251193267SjkimSupport for "module level code" has been disabled in this version due to a 3252193267Sjkimnumber of issues that have appeared on various machines. The support can be 3253193267Sjkimenabled by defining ACPI_ENABLE_MODULE_LEVEL_CODE during subsystem 3254193267Sjkimcompilation. When the issues are fully resolved, the code will be enabled by 3255151937Sjkimdefault again. 3256151937Sjkim 3257193267SjkimModified the internal functions for debug print support to define the 3258193267SjkimFunctionName parameter as a (const char *) for compatibility with compiler 3259193267Sjkimbuilt-in macros such as __FUNCTION__, etc. 3260151937Sjkim 3261151937SjkimLinted the entire ACPICA source tree for both 32-bit and 64-bit. 3262151937Sjkim 3263193267SjkimImplemented support to display an object count summary for the AML Debugger 3264193267Sjkimcommands Object and Methods. 3265151937Sjkim 3266193267SjkimCode and Data Size: Current and previous core subsystem library sizes are 3267193267Sjkimshown below. These are the code and data sizes for the acpica.lib produced 3268193267Sjkimby the Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0 compiler, and these values do not include 3269193267Sjkimany ACPI driver or OSPM code. The debug version of the code includes the 3270193267Sjkimdebug output trace mechanism and has a much larger code and data size. Note 3271193267Sjkimthat these values will vary depending on the efficiency of the compiler and 3272193267Sjkimthe compiler options used during generation. 3273151937Sjkim 3274151937Sjkim Previous Release: 3275151937Sjkim Non-Debug Version: 78.6K Code, 11.6K Data, 90.2K Total 3276151937Sjkim Debug Version: 170.0K Code, 69.7K Data, 239.7K Total 3277151937Sjkim Current Release: 3278151937Sjkim Non-Debug Version: 78.6K Code, 11.7K Data, 90.3K Total 3279151937Sjkim Debug Version: 167.0K Code, 69.9K Data, 236.9K Total 3280151937Sjkim 3281151937Sjkim 3282151937Sjkim2) iASL Compiler/Disassembler: 3283151937Sjkim 3284193267SjkimFixed a regression that appeared in the 20050708 version of the compiler 3285193267Sjkimwhere an error message was inadvertently emitted for invocations of the _OSI 3286193267Sjkimreserved control method. 3287151937Sjkim 3288151937Sjkim---------------------------------------- 3289151937Sjkim08 July 2005. Summary of changes for version 20050708: 3290151937Sjkim 3291151937Sjkim1) ACPI CA Core Subsystem: 3292151937Sjkim 3293193267SjkimThe use of the CPU stack in the debug version of the subsystem has been 3294193267Sjkimconsiderably reduced. Previously, a debug structure was declared in every 3295193267Sjkimfunction that used the debug macros. This structure has been removed in 3296193267Sjkimfavor of declaring the individual elements as parameters to the debug 3297193267Sjkimfunctions. This reduces the cumulative stack use during nested execution of 3298193267SjkimACPI function calls at the cost of a small increase in the code size of the 3299193267Sjkimdebug version of the subsystem. With assistance from Alexey Starikovskiy and 3300193267SjkimLen Brown. 3301151937Sjkim 3302193267SjkimAdded the ACPI_GET_FUNCTION_NAME macro to enable the compiler-dependent 3303193267Sjkimheaders to define a macro that will return the current function name at 3304193267Sjkimruntime (such as __FUNCTION__ or _func_, etc.) The function name is used by 3305193267Sjkimthe debug trace output. If ACPI_GET_FUNCTION_NAME is not defined in the 3306193267Sjkimcompiler-dependent header, the function name is saved on the CPU stack (one 3307193267Sjkimpointer per function.) This mechanism is used because apparently there 3308193267Sjkimexists no standard ANSI-C defined macro that that returns the function name. 3309151937Sjkim 3310193267SjkimRedesigned and reimplemented the "Owner ID" mechanism used to track 3311193267Sjkimnamespace objects created/deleted by ACPI tables and control method 3312193267Sjkimexecution. A bitmap is now used to allocate and free the IDs, thus solving 3313193267Sjkimthe wraparound problem present in the previous implementation. The size of 3314193267Sjkimthe namespace node descriptor was reduced by 2 bytes as a result (Alexey 3315151937SjkimStarikovskiy). 3316151937Sjkim 3317193267SjkimRemoved the UINT32_BIT and UINT16_BIT types that were used for the bitfield 3318193267Sjkimflag definitions within the headers for the predefined ACPI tables. These 3319193267Sjkimhave been replaced by UINT8_BIT in order to increase the code portability of 3320193267Sjkimthe subsystem. If the use of UINT8 remains a problem, we may be forced to 3321193267Sjkimeliminate bitfields entirely because of a lack of portability. 3322151937Sjkim 3323193267SjkimEnhanced the performance of the AcpiUtUpdateObjectReference procedure. This 3324193267Sjkimis a frequently used function and this improvement increases the performance 3325193267Sjkimof the entire subsystem (Alexey Starikovskiy). 3326151937Sjkim 3327193267SjkimFixed several possible memory leaks and the inverse - premature object 3328193267Sjkimdeletion (Alexey Starikovskiy). 3329151937Sjkim 3330193267SjkimCode and Data Size: Current and previous core subsystem library sizes are 3331193267Sjkimshown below. These are the code and data sizes for the acpica.lib produced 3332193267Sjkimby the Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0 compiler, and these values do not include 3333193267Sjkimany ACPI driver or OSPM code. The debug version of the code includes the 3334193267Sjkimdebug output trace mechanism and has a much larger code and data size. Note 3335193267Sjkimthat these values will vary depending on the efficiency of the compiler and 3336193267Sjkimthe compiler options used during generation. 3337151937Sjkim 3338151937Sjkim Previous Release: 3339151937Sjkim Non-Debug Version: 78.6K Code, 11.5K Data, 90.1K Total 3340151937Sjkim Debug Version: 165.2K Code, 69.6K Data, 234.8K Total 3341151937Sjkim Current Release: 3342151937Sjkim Non-Debug Version: 78.6K Code, 11.6K Data, 90.2K Total 3343151937Sjkim Debug Version: 170.0K Code, 69.7K Data, 239.7K Total 3344151937Sjkim 3345151937Sjkim---------------------------------------- 3346151937Sjkim24 June 2005. Summary of changes for version 20050624: 3347151937Sjkim 3348151937Sjkim1) ACPI CA Core Subsystem: 3349151937Sjkim 3350193267SjkimModified the new OSL cache interfaces to use ACPI_CACHE_T as the type for 3351193267Sjkimthe host-defined cache object. This allows the OSL implementation to define 3352193267Sjkimand type this object in any manner desired, simplifying the OSL 3353193267Sjkimimplementation. For example, ACPI_CACHE_T is defined as kmem_cache_t for 3354193267SjkimLinux, and should be defined in the OS-specific header file for other 3355193267Sjkimoperating systems as required. 3356151937Sjkim 3357193267SjkimChanged the interface to AcpiOsAcquireObject to directly return the 3358193267Sjkimrequested object as the function return (instead of ACPI_STATUS.) This 3359193267Sjkimchange was made for performance reasons, since this is the purpose of the 3360193267Sjkiminterface in the first place. AcpiOsAcquireObject is now similar to the 3361193267SjkimAcpiOsAllocate interface. 3362151937Sjkim 3363193267SjkimImplemented a new AML debugger command named Businfo. This command displays 3364193267Sjkiminformation about all devices that have an associate _PRT object. The _ADR, 3365193267Sjkim_HID, _UID, and _CID are displayed for these devices. 3366151937Sjkim 3367193267SjkimModified the initialization sequence in AcpiInitializeSubsystem to call the 3368193267SjkimOSL interface AcpiOslInitialize first, before any local initialization. This 3369193267Sjkimchange was required because the global initialization now calls OSL 3370193267Sjkiminterfaces. 3371151937Sjkim 3372193267SjkimEnhanced the Dump command to display the entire contents of Package objects 3373193267Sjkim(including all sub-objects and their values.) 3374151937Sjkim 3375193267SjkimRestructured the code base to split some files because of size and/or 3376193267Sjkimbecause the code logically belonged in a separate file. New files are listed 3377193267Sjkimbelow. All makefiles and project files included in the ACPI CA release have 3378193267Sjkimbeen updated. 3379151937Sjkim utilities/utcache.c /* Local cache interfaces */ 3380151937Sjkim utilities/utmutex.c /* Local mutex support */ 3381151937Sjkim utilities/utstate.c /* State object support */ 3382151937Sjkim interpreter/parser/psloop.c /* Main AML parse loop */ 3383151937Sjkim 3384193267SjkimCode and Data Size: Current and previous core subsystem library sizes are 3385193267Sjkimshown below. These are the code and data sizes for the acpica.lib produced 3386193267Sjkimby the Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0 compiler, and these values do not include 3387193267Sjkimany ACPI driver or OSPM code. The debug version of the code includes the 3388193267Sjkimdebug output trace mechanism and has a much larger code and data size.

The 3404193267Sjkimoriginal behavior has been restored (a Match() operator is emitted.) 3405151937Sjkim 3406151937Sjkim---------------------------------------- 3407151937Sjkim17 June 2005. Summary of changes for version 20050617: 3408151937Sjkim 3409151937Sjkim1) ACPI CA Core Subsystem: 3410151937Sjkim 3411193267SjkimMoved the object cache operations into the OS interface layer (OSL) to allow 3412193267Sjkimthe host OS to handle these operations if desired (for example, the Linux 3413193267SjkimOSL will invoke the slab allocator). This support is optional; the compile 3414193267Sjkimtime define ACPI_USE_LOCAL_CACHE may be used to utilize the original cache 3415193267Sjkimcode in the ACPI CA core. The new OSL interfaces are shown below. See 3416193267Sjkimutalloc.c for an example implementation, and acpiosxf.h for the exact 3417193267Sjkiminterface definitions. With assistance from Alexey Starikovskiy. 3418151937Sjkim AcpiOsCreateCache 3419151937Sjkim AcpiOsDeleteCache 3420151937Sjkim AcpiOsPurgeCache 3421151937Sjkim AcpiOsAcquireObject 3422151937Sjkim AcpiOsReleaseObject 3423151937Sjkim 3424193267SjkimModified the interfaces to AcpiOsAcquireLock and AcpiOsReleaseLock to return 3425193267Sjkimand restore a flags parameter. This fits better with many OS lock models. 3426193267SjkimNote: the current execution state (interrupt handler or not) is no longer 3427193267Sjkimpassed to these interfaces. If necessary, the OSL must determine this state 3428193267Sjkimby itself, a simple and fast operation. With assistance from Alexey 3429151937SjkimStarikovskiy. 3430151937Sjkim 3431193267SjkimFixed a problem in the ACPI table handling where a valid XSDT was assumed 3432193267Sjkimpresent if the revision of the RSDP was 2 or greater. According to the ACPI 3433193267Sjkimspecification, the XSDT is optional in all cases, and the table manager 3434193267Sjkimtherefore now checks for both an RSDP >=2 and a valid XSDT pointer. 3435193267SjkimOtherwise, the RSDT pointer is used. Some ACPI 2.0 compliant BIOSs contain 3436193267Sjkimonly the RSDT. 3437151937Sjkim 3438193267SjkimFixed an interpreter problem with the Mid() operator in the case of an input 3439193267Sjkimstring where the resulting output string is of zero length. It now correctly 3440193267Sjkimreturns a valid, null terminated string object instead of a string object 3441193267Sjkimwith a null pointer. 3442151937Sjkim 3443193267SjkimFixed a problem with the control method argument handling to allow a store 3444193267Sjkimto an Arg object that already contains an object of type Device. The Device 3445193267Sjkimobject is now correctly overwritten. Previously, an error was returned. 3446151937Sjkim 3447167802Sjkim 3448193267SjkimEnhanced the debugger Find command to emit object values in addition to the 3449193267Sjkimfound object pathnames. The output format is the same as the dump namespace 3450193267Sjkimcommand. 3451151937Sjkim 3452193267SjkimEnhanced the debugger Set command. It now has the ability to set the value 3453193267Sjkimof any Named integer object in the namespace (Previously, only method locals 3454193267Sjkimand args could be set.) 3455151937Sjkim 3456193267SjkimCode and Data Size: Current and previous core subsystem library sizes are 3457193267Sjkimshown below. These are the code and data sizes for the acpica.lib produced 3458193267Sjkimby the Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0 compiler, and these values do not include 3459193267Sjkimany ACPI driver or OSPM code. The debug version of the code includes the 3460193267Sjkimdebug output trace mechanism and has a much larger code and data size. Note 3461193267Sjkimthat these values will vary depending on the efficiency of the compiler and 3462193267Sjkimthe compiler options used during generation. 3463151937Sjkim 3464151937Sjkim Previous Release: 3465151937Sjkim Non-Debug Version: 78.1K Code, 11.6K Data, 89.7K Total 3466151937Sjkim Debug Version: 164.0K Code, 69.3K Data, 233.3K Total 3467151937Sjkim Current Release: 3468151937Sjkim Non-Debug Version: 78.3K Code, 11.6K Data, 89.9K Total 3469151937Sjkim Debug Version: 164.0K Code, 69.1K Data, 233.1K Total 3470151937Sjkim 3471151937Sjkim 3472151937Sjkim2) iASL Compiler/Disassembler: 3473151937Sjkim 3474193267SjkimFixed a regression in the disassembler where if/else/while constructs were 3475193267Sjkimoutput incorrectly. This problem was introduced in the previous release 3476193267Sjkim(20050526). This problem also affected the single-step disassembly in the 3477193267Sjkimdebugger. 3478151937Sjkim 3479193267SjkimFixed a problem where compiling the reserved _OSI method would randomly (but 3480193267Sjkimrarely) produce compile errors. 3481151937Sjkim 3482193267SjkimEnhanced the disassembler to emit compilable code in the face of incorrect 3483193267SjkimAML resource descriptors. If the optional ResourceSourceIndex is present, 3484193267Sjkimbut the ResourceSource is not, do not emit the ResourceSourceIndex in the 3485193267Sjkimdisassembly. Otherwise, the resulting code cannot be compiled without 3486193267Sjkimerrors. 3487151937Sjkim 3488151937Sjkim---------------------------------------- 3489151937Sjkim26 May 2005. Summary of changes for version 20050526: 3490151937Sjkim 3491151937Sjkim1) ACPI CA Core Subsystem: 3492151937Sjkim 3493193267SjkimImplemented support to execute Type 1 and Type 2 AML opcodes appearing at 3494193267Sjkimthe module level (not within a control method.) These opcodes are executed 3495193267Sjkimexactly once at the time the table is loaded. This type of code was legal up 3496193267Sjkimuntil the release of ACPI 2.0B (2002) and is now supported within ACPI CA in 3497193267Sjkimorder to provide backwards compatibility with earlier BIOS implementations. 3498193267SjkimThis eliminates the "Encountered executable code at module level" warning 3499193267Sjkimthat was previously generated upon detection of such code. 3500151937Sjkim 3501193267SjkimFixed a problem in the interpreter where an AE_NOT_FOUND exception could 3502193267Sjkiminadvertently be generated during the lookup of namespace objects in the 3503193267Sjkimsecond pass parse of ACPI tables and control methods. It appears that this 3504193267Sjkimproblem could occur during the resolution of forward references to namespace 3505193267Sjkimobjects. 3506151937Sjkim 3507193267SjkimAdded the ACPI_MUTEX_DEBUG #ifdef to the AcpiUtReleaseMutex function, 3508193267Sjkimcorresponding to the same #ifdef in the AcpiUtAcquireMutex function. This 3509193267Sjkimallows the deadlock detection debug code to be compiled out in the normal 3510193267Sjkimcase, improving mutex performance (and overall subsystem performance) 3511193267Sjkimconsiderably. 3512151937Sjkim 3513193267SjkimImplemented a handful of miscellaneous fixes for possible memory leaks on 3514193267Sjkimerror conditions and error handling control paths. These fixes were 3515193267Sjkimsuggested by FreeBSD and the Coverity Prevent source code analysis tool. 3516151937Sjkim 3517193267SjkimAdded a check for a null RSDT pointer in AcpiGetFirmwareTable (tbxfroot.c) 3518193267Sjkimto prevent a fault in this error case. 3519151937Sjkim 3520193267SjkimCode and Data Size: Current and previous core subsystem library sizes are 3521193267Sjkimshown below. These are the code and data sizes for the acpica.lib produced 3522193267Sjkimby the Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0 compiler, and these values do not include 3523193267Sjkimany ACPI driver or OSPM code. The debug version of the code includes the 3524193267Sjkimdebug output trace mechanism and has a much larger code and data size. Note 3525193267Sjkimthat these values will vary depending on the efficiency of the compiler and 3526193267Sjkimthe compiler options used during generation. 3527151937Sjkim 3528151937Sjkim Previous Release: 3529151937Sjkim Non-Debug Version: 78.2K Code, 11.6K Data, 89.8K Total 3530151937Sjkim Debug Version: 163.7K Code, 69.3K Data, 233.0K Total 3531151937Sjkim Current Release: 3532151937Sjkim Non-Debug Version: 78.1K Code, 11.6K Data, 89.7K Total 3533151937Sjkim Debug Version: 164.0K Code, 69.3K Data, 233.3K Total 3534151937Sjkim 3535151937Sjkim 3536151937Sjkim2) iASL Compiler/Disassembler: 3537151937Sjkim 3538193267SjkimImplemented support to allow Type 1 and Type 2 ASL operators to appear at 3539193267Sjkimthe module level (not within a control method.) These operators will be 3540193267Sjkimexecuted once at the time the table is loaded. This type of code was legal 3541193267Sjkimup until the release of ACPI 2.0B (2002) and is now supported by the iASL 3542193267Sjkimcompiler in order to provide backwards compatibility with earlier BIOS ASL 3543193267Sjkimcode. 3544151937Sjkim 3545193267SjkimThe ACPI integer width (specified via the table revision ID or the -r 3546193267Sjkimoverride, 32 or 64 bits) is now used internally during compile-time constant 3547193267Sjkimfolding to ensure that constants are truncated to 32 bits if necessary. 3548193267SjkimPreviously, the revision ID value was only emitted in the AML table header. 3549151937Sjkim 3550193267SjkimAn error message is now generated for the Mutex and Method operators if the 3551193267SjkimSyncLevel parameter is outside the legal range of 0 through 15. 3552151937Sjkim 3553193267SjkimFixed a problem with the Method operator ParameterTypes list handling (ACPI 3554193267Sjkim3.0). Previously, more than 2 types or 2 arguments generated a syntax error. 3555193267SjkimThe actual underlying implementation of method argument typechecking is 3556193267Sjkimstill under development, however. 3557151937Sjkim 3558151937Sjkim---------------------------------------- 3559151937Sjkim13 May 2005. Summary of changes for version 20050513: 3560151937Sjkim 3561151937Sjkim1) ACPI CA Core Subsystem: 3562151937Sjkim 3563193267SjkimImplemented support for PCI Express root bridges -- added support for device 3564193267SjkimPNP0A08 in the root bridge search within AcpiEvPciConfigRegionSetup. 3565151937Sjkim 3566193267SjkimThe interpreter now automatically truncates incoming 64-bit constants to 32 3567193267Sjkimbits if currently executing out of a 32-bit ACPI table (Revision < 2). This 3568193267Sjkimalso affects the iASL compiler constant folding. (Note: as per below, the 3569193267SjkimiASL compiler no longer allows 64-bit constants within 32-bit tables.) 3570151937Sjkim 3571193267SjkimFixed a problem where string and buffer objects with "static" pointers 3572193267Sjkim(pointers to initialization data within an ACPI table) were not handled 3573193267Sjkimconsistently. The internal object copy operation now always copies the data 3574193267Sjkimto a newly allocated buffer, regardless of whether the source object is 3575193267Sjkimstatic or not. 3576151937Sjkim 3577193267SjkimFixed a problem with the FromBCD operator where an implicit result 3578193267Sjkimconversion was improperly performed while storing the result to the target 3579193267Sjkimoperand. Since this is an "explicit conversion" operator, the implicit 3580193267Sjkimconversion should never be performed on the output. 3581151937Sjkim 3582193267SjkimFixed a problem with the CopyObject operator where a copy to an existing 3583193267Sjkimnamed object did not always completely overwrite the existing object stored 3584193267Sjkimat name. Specifically, a buffer-to-buffer copy did not delete the existing 3585193267Sjkimbuffer. 3586151937Sjkim 3587193267SjkimReplaced "InterruptLevel" with "InterruptNumber" in all GPE interfaces and 3588193267Sjkimstructs for consistency. 3589151937Sjkim 3590193267SjkimCode and Data Size: Current and previous core subsystem library sizes are 3591193267Sjkimshown below. These are the code and data sizes for the acpica.lib produced 3592193267Sjkimby the Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0 compiler, and these values do not include 3593193267Sjkimany ACPI driver or OSPM code. The debug version of the code includes the 3594193267Sjkimdebug output trace mechanism and has a much larger code and data size. Note 3595193267Sjkimthat these values will vary depending on the efficiency of the compiler and 3596193267Sjkimthe compiler options used during generation. 3597151937Sjkim 3598151937Sjkim Previous Release: 3599151937Sjkim Non-Debug Version: 78.2K Code, 11.6K Data, 89.8K Total 3600151937Sjkim Debug Version: 163.7K Code, 69.3K Data, 233.0K Total 3601151937Sjkim Current Release: (Same sizes) 3602151937Sjkim Non-Debug Version: 78.2K Code, 11.6K Data, 89.8K Total 3603151937Sjkim Debug Version: 163.7K Code, 69.3K Data, 233.0K Total 3604151937Sjkim 3605151937Sjkim 3606151937Sjkim2) iASL Compiler/Disassembler: 3607151937Sjkim 3608193267SjkimThe compiler now emits a warning if an attempt is made to generate a 64-bit 3609193267Sjkiminteger constant from within a 32-bit ACPI table (Revision < 2). The integer 3610193267Sjkimis truncated to 32 bits. 3611151937Sjkim 3612193267SjkimFixed a problem with large package objects: if the static length of the 3613193267Sjkimpackage is greater than 255, the "variable length package" opcode is 3614193267Sjkimemitted. Previously, this caused an error. This requires an update to the 3615193267SjkimACPI spec, since it currently (incorrectly) states that packages larger than 3616193267Sjkim255 elements are not allowed. 3617151937Sjkim 3618193267SjkimThe disassembler now correctly handles variable length packages and packages 3619193267Sjkimlarger than 255 elements. 3620151937Sjkim 3621151937Sjkim---------------------------------------- 3622151937Sjkim08 April 2005. Summary of changes for version 20050408: 3623151937Sjkim 3624151937Sjkim1) ACPI CA Core Subsystem: 3625151937Sjkim 3626193267SjkimFixed three cases in the interpreter where an "index" argument to an ASL 3627193267Sjkimfunction was still (internally) 32 bits instead of the required 64 bits. 3628193267SjkimThis was the Index argument to the Index, Mid, and Match operators. 3629151937Sjkim 3630193267SjkimThe "strupr" function is now permanently local (AcpiUtStrupr), since this is 3631193267Sjkimnot a POSIX-defined function and not present in most kernel-level C 3632193267Sjkimlibraries. All references to the C library strupr function have been removed 3633193267Sjkimfrom the headers. 3634151937Sjkim 3635193267SjkimCompleted the deployment of static functions/prototypes. All prototypes with 3636193267Sjkimthe static attribute have been moved from the headers to the owning C file. 3637151937Sjkim 3638193267SjkimImplemented an extract option (-e) for the AcpiBin utility (AML binary 3639193267Sjkimutility). This option allows the utility to extract individual ACPI tables 3640193267Sjkimfrom the output of AcpiDmp. It provides the same functionality of the 3641193267Sjkimacpixtract.pl perl script without the worry of setting the correct perl 3642193267Sjkimoptions. AcpiBin runs on Windows and has not yet been generated/validated in 3643193267Sjkimthe Linux/Unix environment (but should be soon). 3644193267Sjkim 3645193267SjkimUpdated and fixed the table dump option for AcpiBin (-d). This option 3646193267Sjkimconverts a single ACPI table to a hex/ascii file, similar to the output of 3647193267SjkimAcpiDmp. 3648151937Sjkim 3649193267SjkimCode and Data Size: Current and previous core subsystem library sizes are 3650193267Sjkimshown below. These are the code and data sizes for the acpica.lib produced 3651193267Sjkimby the Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0 compiler, and these values do not include 3652193267Sjkimany ACPI driver or OSPM code. The debug version of the code includes the 3653193267Sjkimdebug output trace mechanism and has a much larger code and data size. Note 3654193267Sjkimthat these values will vary depending on the efficiency of the compiler and 3655193267Sjkimthe compiler options used during generation. 3656151937Sjkim 3657151937Sjkim Previous Release: 3658151937Sjkim Non-Debug Version: 78.0K Code, 11.6K Data, 89.6K Total 3659151937Sjkim Debug Version: 163.5K Code, 69.3K Data, 232.8K Total 3660151937Sjkim Current Release: 3661151937Sjkim Non-Debug Version: 78.2K Code, 11.6K Data, 89.8K Total 3662151937Sjkim Debug Version: 163.7K Code, 69.3K Data, 233.0K Total 3663151937Sjkim 3664151937Sjkim 3665151937Sjkim2) iASL Compiler/Disassembler: 3666151937Sjkim 3667193267SjkimDisassembler fix: Added a check to ensure that the table length found in the 3668193267SjkimACPI table header within the input file is not longer than the actual input 3669193267Sjkimfile size. This indicates some kind of file or table corruption. 3670151937Sjkim 3671151937Sjkim---------------------------------------- 3672151937Sjkim29 March 2005. Summary of changes for version 20050329: 3673151937Sjkim 3674151937Sjkim1) ACPI CA Core Subsystem: 3675151937Sjkim 3676193267SjkimAn error is now generated if an attempt is made to create a Buffer Field of 3677193267Sjkimlength zero (A CreateField with a length operand of zero.) 3678151937Sjkim 3679193267SjkimThe interpreter now issues a warning whenever executable code at the module 3680193267Sjkimlevel is detected during ACPI table load. This will give some idea of the 3681193267Sjkimprevalence of this type of code. 3682151937Sjkim 3683193267SjkimImplemented support for references to named objects (other than control 3684193267Sjkimmethods) within package objects. 3685151937Sjkim 3686193267SjkimEnhanced package object output for the debug object. Package objects are now 3687193267Sjkimcompletely dumped, showing all elements. 3688151937Sjkim 3689193267SjkimEnhanced miscellaneous object output for the debug object. Any object can 3690193267Sjkimnow be written to the debug object (for example, a device object can be 3691193267Sjkimwritten, and the type of the object will be displayed.) 3692151937Sjkim 3693193267SjkimThe "static" qualifier has been added to all local functions across both the 3694193267Sjkimcore subsystem and the iASL compiler. 3695151937Sjkim 3696193267SjkimThe number of "long" lines (> 80 chars) within the source has been 3697193267Sjkimsignificantly reduced, by about 1/3. 3698151937Sjkim 3699193267SjkimCleaned up all header files to ensure that all CA/iASL functions are 3700193267Sjkimprototyped (even static functions) and the formatting is consistent. 3701151937Sjkim 3702151937SjkimTwo new header files have been added, acopcode.h and acnames.h. 3703151937Sjkim 3704151937SjkimRemoved several obsolete functions that were no longer used. 3705151937Sjkim 3706193267SjkimCode and Data Size: Current and previous core subsystem library sizes are 3707193267Sjkimshown below. These are the code and data sizes for the acpica.lib produced 3708193267Sjkimby the Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0 compiler, and these values do not include 3709193267Sjkimany ACPI driver or OSPM code. The debug version of the code includes the 3710193267Sjkimdebug output trace mechanism and has a much larger code and data size. Note 3711193267Sjkimthat these values will vary depending on the efficiency of the compiler and 3712193267Sjkimthe compiler options used during generation. 3713151937Sjkim 3714151937Sjkim Previous Release: 3715151937Sjkim Non-Debug Version: 78.3K Code, 11.5K Data, 89.8K Total 3716151937Sjkim Debug Version: 165.4K Code, 69.7K Data, 236.1K Total 3717151937Sjkim Current Release: 3718151937Sjkim Non-Debug Version: 78.0K Code, 11.6K Data, 89.6K Total 3719151937Sjkim Debug Version: 163.5K Code, 69.3K Data, 232.8K Total 3720151937Sjkim 3721151937Sjkim 3722167802Sjkim 3723151937Sjkim2) iASL Compiler/Disassembler: 3724151937Sjkim 3725193267SjkimFixed a problem with the resource descriptor generation/support. For the 3726193267SjkimResourceSourceIndex and the ResourceSource fields, both must be present, or 3727193267Sjkimboth must be not present - can't have one without the other. 3728151937Sjkim 3729193267SjkimThe compiler now returns non-zero from the main procedure if any errors have 3730193267Sjkimoccurred during the compilation. 3731151937Sjkim 3732151937Sjkim 3733151937Sjkim---------------------------------------- 3734151937Sjkim09 March 2005. Summary of changes for version 20050309: 3735151937Sjkim 3736151937Sjkim1) ACPI CA Core Subsystem: 3737151937Sjkim 3738193267SjkimThe string-to-buffer implicit conversion code has been modified again after 3739193267Sjkima change to the ACPI specification. In order to match the behavior of the 3740193267Sjkimother major ACPI implementation, the target buffer is no longer truncated if 3741193267Sjkimthe source string is smaller than an existing target buffer. This change 3742193267Sjkimrequires an update to the ACPI spec, and should eliminate the recent 3743151937SjkimAE_AML_BUFFER_LIMIT issues. 3744151937Sjkim 3745193267SjkimThe "implicit return" support was rewritten to a new algorithm that solves 3746193267Sjkimthe general case. Rather than attempt to determine when a method is about to 3747193267Sjkimexit, the result of every ASL operator is saved momentarily until the very 3748193267Sjkimnext ASL operator is executed. Therefore, no matter how the method exits, 3749193267Sjkimthere will always be a saved implicit return value. This feature is only 3750193267Sjkimenabled with the AcpiGbl_EnableInterpreterSlack flag, and should eliminate 3751193267SjkimAE_AML_NO_RETURN_VALUE errors when enabled. 3752151937Sjkim 3753193267SjkimImplemented implicit conversion support for the predicate (operand) of the 3754193267SjkimIf, Else, and While operators. String and Buffer arguments are automatically 3755193267Sjkimconverted to Integers. 3756151937Sjkim 3757193267SjkimChanged the string-to-integer conversion behavior to match the new ACPI 3758193267Sjkimerrata: "If no integer object exists, a new integer is created. The ASCII 3759193267Sjkimstring is interpreted as a hexadecimal constant. Each string character is 3760193267Sjkiminterpreted as a hexadecimal value ('0'-'9', 'A'-'F', 'a', 'f'), starting 3761193267Sjkimwith the first character as the most significant digit, and ending with the 3762193267Sjkimfirst non-hexadecimal character or end-of-string." This means that the first 3763193267Sjkimnon-hex character terminates the conversion and this is the code that was 3764193267Sjkimchanged. 3765151937Sjkim 3766193267SjkimFixed a problem where the ObjectType operator would fail (fault) when used 3767193267Sjkimon an Index of a Package which pointed to a null package element. The 3768193267Sjkimoperator now properly returns zero (Uninitialized) in this case. 3769151937Sjkim 3770193267SjkimFixed a problem where the While operator used excessive memory by not 3771193267Sjkimproperly popping the result stack during execution. There was no memory leak 3772193267Sjkimafter execution, however. (Code provided by Valery Podrezov.) 3773151937Sjkim 3774193267SjkimFixed a problem where references to control methods within Package objects 3775193267Sjkimcaused the method to be invoked, instead of producing a reference object 3776193267Sjkimpointing to the method. 3777151937Sjkim 3778193267SjkimRestructured and simplified the pswalk.c module (AcpiPsDeleteParseTree) to 3779193267Sjkimimprove performance and reduce code size. (Code provided by Alexey 3780193267SjkimStarikovskiy.) 3781151937Sjkim 3782193267SjkimCode and Data Size: Current and previous core subsystem library sizes are 3783193267Sjkimshown below. These are the code and data sizes for the acpica.lib produced 3784193267Sjkimby the Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0 compiler, and these values do not include 3785193267Sjkimany ACPI driver or OSPM code. The debug version of the code includes the 3786193267Sjkimdebug output trace mechanism and has a much larger code and data size. Note 3787193267Sjkimthat these values will vary depending on the efficiency of the compiler and 3788193267Sjkimthe compiler options used during generation. 3789151937Sjkim 3790151937Sjkim Previous Release: 3791151937Sjkim Non-Debug Version: 78.3K Code, 11.5K Data, 89.8K Total 3792151937Sjkim Debug Version: 165.4K Code, 69.6K Data, 236.0K Total 3793151937Sjkim Current Release: 3794151937Sjkim Non-Debug Version: 78.3K Code, 11.5K Data, 89.8K Total 3795151937Sjkim Debug Version: 165.4K Code, 69.7K Data, 236.1K Total 3796151937Sjkim 3797151937Sjkim 3798151937Sjkim2) iASL Compiler/Disassembler: 3799151937Sjkim 3800193267SjkimFixed a problem with the Return operator with no arguments. Since the AML 3801193267Sjkimgrammar for the byte encoding requires an operand for the Return opcode, the 3802193267Sjkimcompiler now emits a Return(Zero) for this case. An ACPI specification 3803193267Sjkimupdate has been written for this case. 3804151937Sjkim 3805193267SjkimFor tables other than the DSDT, namepath optimization is automatically 3806193267Sjkimdisabled. This is because SSDTs can be loaded anywhere in the namespace, the 3807193267Sjkimcompiler has no knowledge of where, and thus cannot optimize namepaths. 3808151937Sjkim 3809193267SjkimAdded "ProcessorObj" to the ObjectTypeKeyword list. This object type was 3810193267Sjkiminadvertently omitted from the ACPI specification, and will require an 3811193267Sjkimupdate to the spec. 3812151937Sjkim 3813193267SjkimThe source file scan for ASCII characters is now optional (-a). This change 3814193267Sjkimwas made because some vendors place non-ascii characters within comments. 3815193267SjkimHowever, the scan is simply a brute-force byte compare to ensure all 3816193267Sjkimcharacters in the file are in the range 0x00 to 0x7F. 3817151937Sjkim 3818193267SjkimFixed a problem with the CondRefOf operator where the compiler was 3819193267Sjkiminappropriately checking for the existence of the target. Since the point of 3820193267Sjkimthe operator is to check for the existence of the target at run-time, the 3821193267Sjkimcompiler no longer checks for the target existence. 3822151937Sjkim 3823193267SjkimFixed a problem where errors generated from the internal AML interpreter 3824193267Sjkimduring constant folding were not handled properly, causing a fault. 3825151937Sjkim 3826193267SjkimFixed a problem with overly aggressive range checking for the Stall 3827193267Sjkimoperator. The valid range (max 255) is now only checked if the operand is of 3828193267Sjkimtype Integer. All other operand types cannot be statically checked. 3829151937Sjkim 3830193267SjkimFixed a problem where control method references within the RefOf, DeRefOf, 3831193267Sjkimand ObjectType operators were not treated properly. They are now treated as 3832193267Sjkimactual references, not method invocations. 3833151937Sjkim 3834193267SjkimFixed and enhanced the "list namespace" option (-ln). This option was broken 3835193267Sjkima number of releases ago. 3836151937Sjkim 3837193267SjkimImproved error handling for the Field, IndexField, and BankField operators. 3838193267SjkimThe compiler now cleanly reports and recovers from errors in the field 3839193267Sjkimcomponent (FieldUnit) list. 3840151937Sjkim 3841193267SjkimFixed a disassembler problem where the optional ResourceDescriptor fields 3842193267SjkimTRS and TTP were not always handled correctly. 3843151937Sjkim 3844151937SjkimDisassembler - Comments in output now use "//" instead of "/*" 3845151937Sjkim 3846151937Sjkim---------------------------------------- 3847151937Sjkim28 February 2005. Summary of changes for version 20050228: 3848151937Sjkim 3849151937Sjkim1) ACPI CA Core Subsystem: 3850151937Sjkim 3851193267SjkimFixed a problem where the result of an Index() operator (an object 3852193267Sjkimreference) must increment the reference count on the target object for the 3853193267Sjkimlife of the object reference. 3854151937Sjkim 3855193267SjkimImplemented AML Interpreter and Debugger support for the new ACPI 3.0 3856193267SjkimExtended Address (IO, Memory, Space), QwordSpace, DwordSpace, and WordSpace 3857193267Sjkimresource descriptors. 3858151937Sjkim 3859193267SjkimImplemented support in the _OSI method for the ACPI 3.0 "Extended Address 3860193267SjkimSpace Descriptor" string, indicating interpreter support for the descriptors 3861193267Sjkimabove. 3862151937Sjkim 3863151937SjkimImplemented header support for the new ACPI 3.0 FADT flag bits. 3864151937Sjkim 3865193267SjkimImplemented header support for the new ACPI 3.0 PCI Express bits for the PM1 3866193267Sjkimstatus/enable registers. 3867151937Sjkim 3868193267SjkimUpdated header support for the MADT processor local Apic struct and MADT 3869193267Sjkimplatform interrupt source struct for new ACPI 3.0 fields. 3870151937Sjkim 3871151937SjkimImplemented header support for the SRAT and SLIT ACPI tables. 3872151937Sjkim 3873193267SjkimImplemented the -s switch in AcpiExec to enable the "InterpreterSlack" flag 3874193267Sjkimat runtime. 3875151937Sjkim 3876193267SjkimCode and Data Size: Current and previous core subsystem library sizes are 3877193267Sjkimshown below.

This means that Index() cannot be 3899193267Sjkima type3 opcode and this will require an update to the ACPI specification. 3900151937Sjkim 3901193267SjkimDisassembler: Implemented support for the TTP, MTP, and TRS resource 3902193267Sjkimdescriptor fields. These fields were inadvertently ignored and not output in 3903193267Sjkimthe disassembly of the resource descriptor. 3904151937Sjkim 3905151937Sjkim 3906151937Sjkim ---------------------------------------- 3907151937Sjkim11 February 2005. Summary of changes for version 20050211: 3908151937Sjkim 3909151937Sjkim1) ACPI CA Core Subsystem: 3910151937Sjkim 3911193267SjkimImplemented ACPI 3.0 support for implicit conversion within the Match() 3912193267Sjkimoperator. MatchObjects can now be of type integer, buffer, or string instead 3913193267Sjkimof just type integer. Package elements are implicitly converted to the type 3914193267Sjkimof the MatchObject. This change aligns the behavior of Match() with the 3915193267Sjkimbehavior of the other logical operators (LLess(), etc.) It also requires an 3916193267Sjkimerrata change to the ACPI specification as this support was intended for 3917193267SjkimACPI 3.0, but was inadvertently omitted. 3918151937Sjkim 3919193267SjkimFixed a problem with the internal implicit "to buffer" conversion. Strings 3920193267Sjkimthat are converted to buffers will cause buffer truncation if the string is 3921193267Sjkimsmaller than the target buffer. Integers that are converted to buffers will 3922193267Sjkimnot cause buffer truncation, only zero extension (both as per the ACPI 3923193267Sjkimspec.) The problem was introduced when code was added to truncate the 3924193267Sjkimbuffer, but this should not be performed in all cases, only the string case. 3925151937Sjkim 3926193267SjkimFixed a problem with the Buffer and Package operators where the interpreter 3927193267Sjkimwould get confused if two such operators were used as operands to an ASL 3928193267Sjkimoperator (such as LLess(Buffer(1){0},Buffer(1){1}). The internal result 3929193267Sjkimstack was not being popped after the execution of these operators, resulting 3930193267Sjkimin an AE_NO_RETURN_VALUE exception. 3931151937Sjkim 3932193267SjkimFixed a problem with constructs of the form Store(Index(...),...). The 3933193267Sjkimreference object returned from Index was inadvertently resolved to an actual 3934193267Sjkimvalue. This problem was introduced in version 20050114 when the behavior of 3935193267SjkimStore() was modified to restrict the object types that can be used as the 3936151937Sjkimsource operand (to match the ACPI specification.) 3937151937Sjkim 3938193267SjkimReduced excessive stack use within the AcpiGetObjectInfo procedure. 3939151937Sjkim 3940193267SjkimAdded a fix to aclinux.h to allow generation of AcpiExec on Linux. 3941151937Sjkim 3942193267SjkimUpdated the AcpiSrc utility to add the FADT_DESCRIPTOR_REV2_MINUS struct. 3943151937Sjkim 3944193267SjkimCode and Data Size: Current and previous core subsystem library sizes are 3945193267Sjkimshown below. These are the code and data sizes for the acpica.lib produced 3946193267Sjkimby the Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0 compiler, and these values do not include 3947193267Sjkimany ACPI driver or OSPM code. The debug version of the code includes the 3948193267Sjkimdebug output trace mechanism and has a much larger code and data size. Note 3949193267Sjkimthat these values will vary depending on the efficiency of the compiler and 3950193267Sjkimthe compiler options used during generation. 3951151937Sjkim 3952151937Sjkim Previous Release: 3953151937Sjkim Non-Debug Version: 78.1K Code, 11.5K Data, 89.6K Total 3954151937Sjkim Debug Version: 164.8K Code, 69.2K Data, 234.0K Total 3955151937Sjkim Current Release: 3956151937Sjkim Non-Debug Version: 78.2K Code, 11.5K Data, 89.7K Total 3957151937Sjkim Debug Version: 164.9K Code, 69.2K Data, 234.1K Total 3958151937Sjkim 3959151937Sjkim 3960151937Sjkim2) iASL Compiler/Disassembler: 3961151937Sjkim 3962193267SjkimFixed a code generation problem in the constant folding optimization code 3963193267Sjkimwhere incorrect code was generated if a constant was reduced to a buffer 3964193267Sjkimobject (i.e., a reduced type 5 opcode.) 3965151937Sjkim 3966193267SjkimFixed a typechecking problem for the ToBuffer operator. Caused by an 3967193267Sjkimincorrect return type in the internal opcode information table. 3968151937Sjkim 3969151937Sjkim---------------------------------------- 3970151937Sjkim25 January 2005. Summary of changes for version 20050125: 3971151937Sjkim 3972151937Sjkim1) ACPI CA Core Subsystem: 3973151937Sjkim 3974193267SjkimFixed a recently introduced problem with the Global Lock where the 3975193267Sjkimunderlying semaphore was not created. This problem was introduced in 3976193267Sjkimversion 20050114, and caused an AE_AML_NO_OPERAND exception during an 3977193267SjkimAcquire() operation on _GL. 3978151937Sjkim 3979193267SjkimThe local object cache is now optional, and is disabled by default. Both 3980193267SjkimAcpiExec and the iASL compiler enable the cache because they run in user 3981193267Sjkimmode and this enhances their performance. #define ACPI_ENABLE_OBJECT_CACHE 3982193267Sjkimto enable the local cache. 3983151937Sjkim 3984193267SjkimFixed an issue in the internal function AcpiUtEvaluateObject concerning the 3985193267Sjkimoptional "implicit return" support where an error was returned if no return 3986193267Sjkimobject was expected, but one was implicitly returned. AE_OK is now returned 3987193267Sjkimin this case and the implicitly returned object is deleted. 3988193267SjkimAcpiUtEvaluateObject is only occasionally used, and only to execute reserved 3989193267Sjkimmethods such as _STA and _INI where the return type is known up front. 3990151937Sjkim 3991193267SjkimFixed a few issues with the internal convert-to-integer code. It now returns 3992193267Sjkiman error if an attempt is made to convert a null string, a string of only 3993193267Sjkimblanks/tabs, or a zero-length buffer. This affects both implicit conversion 3994193267Sjkimand explicit conversion via the ToInteger() operator. 3995151937Sjkim 3996193267SjkimThe internal debug code in AcpiUtAcquireMutex has been commented out. It is 3997193267Sjkimnot needed for normal operation and should increase the performance of the 3998193267Sjkimentire subsystem. The code remains in case it is needed for debug purposes 3999193267Sjkimagain. 4000151937Sjkim 4001193267SjkimThe AcpiExec source and makefile are included in the Unix/Linux package for 4002193267Sjkimthe first time. 4003151937Sjkim 4004193267SjkimCode and Data Size: Current and previous core subsystem library sizes are 4005193267Sjkimshown below. These are the code and data sizes for the acpica.lib produced 4006193267Sjkimby the Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0 compiler, and these values do not include 4007193267Sjkimany ACPI driver or OSPM code. The debug version of the code includes the 4008193267Sjkimdebug output trace mechanism and has a much larger code and data size. Note 4009193267Sjkimthat these values will vary depending on the efficiency of the compiler and 4010193267Sjkimthe compiler options used during generation. 4011151937Sjkim 4012151937Sjkim Previous Release: 4013151937Sjkim Non-Debug Version: 78.4K Code, 11.5K Data, 89.9K Total 4014151937Sjkim Debug Version: 165.4K Code, 69.4K Data, 234.8K Total 4015151937Sjkim Current Release: 4016151937Sjkim Non-Debug Version: 78.1K Code, 11.5K Data, 89.6K Total 4017151937Sjkim Debug Version: 164.8K Code, 69.2K Data, 234.0K Total 4018151937Sjkim 4019151937Sjkim2) iASL Compiler/Disassembler: 4020151937Sjkim 4021193267SjkimSwitch/Case support: A warning is now issued if the type of the Switch value 4022193267Sjkimcannot be determined at compile time. For example, Switch(Arg0) will 4023193267Sjkimgenerate the warning, and the type is assumed to be an integer. As per the 4024193267SjkimACPI spec, use a construct such as Switch(ToInteger(Arg0)) to eliminate the 4025193267Sjkimwarning. 4026151937Sjkim 4027193267SjkimSwitch/Case support: Implemented support for buffer and string objects as 4028193267Sjkimthe switch value. This is an ACPI 3.0 feature, now that LEqual supports 4029193267Sjkimbuffers and strings. 4030151937Sjkim 4031193267SjkimSwitch/Case support: The emitted code for the LEqual() comparisons now uses 4032193267Sjkimthe switch value as the first operand, not the second. The case value is now 4033193267Sjkimthe second operand, and this allows the case value to be implicitly 4034193267Sjkimconverted to the type of the switch value, not the other way around. 4035151937Sjkim 4036193267SjkimSwitch/Case support: Temporary variables are now emitted immediately within 4037193267Sjkimthe control method, not at the global level. This means that there are now 4038193267Sjkim36 temps available per-method, not 36 temps per-module as was the case with 4039193267Sjkimthe earlier implementation (_T_0 through _T_9 and _T_A through _T_Z.) 4040151937Sjkim 4041151937Sjkim---------------------------------------- 4042151937Sjkim14 January 2005. Summary of changes for version 20050114: 4043151937Sjkim 4044193267SjkimAdded 2005 copyright to all module headers. This affects every module in 4045193267Sjkimthe core subsystem, iASL compiler, and the utilities. 4046151937Sjkim 4047151937Sjkim1) ACPI CA Core Subsystem: 4048151937Sjkim 4049193267SjkimFixed an issue with the String-to-Buffer conversion code where the string 4050193267Sjkimnull terminator was not included in the buffer after conversion, but there 4051193267Sjkimis existing ASL that assumes the string null terminator is included. This is 4052193267Sjkimthe root of the ACPI_AML_BUFFER_LIMIT regression. This problem was 4053193267Sjkimintroduced in the previous version when the code was updated to correctly 4054193267Sjkimset the converted buffer size as per the ACPI specification. The ACPI spec 4055193267Sjkimis ambiguous and will be updated to specify that the null terminator must be 4056193267Sjkimincluded in the converted buffer. This also affects the ToBuffer() ASL 4057193267Sjkimoperator. 4058151937Sjkim 4059193267SjkimFixed a problem with the Mid() ASL/AML operator where it did not work 4060193267Sjkimcorrectly on Buffer objects. Newly created sub-buffers were not being marked 4061193267Sjkimas initialized. 4062151937Sjkim 4063167802Sjkim 4064193267SjkimFixed a problem in AcpiTbFindTable where incorrect string compares were 4065193267Sjkimperformed on the OemId and OemTableId table header fields. These fields are 4066193267Sjkimnot null terminated, so strncmp is now used instead of strcmp. 4067151937Sjkim 4068193267SjkimImplemented a restriction on the Store() ASL/AML operator to align the 4069193267Sjkimbehavior with the ACPI specification. Previously, any object could be used 4070193267Sjkimas the source operand. Now, the only objects that may be used are Integers, 4071193267SjkimBuffers, Strings, Packages, Object References, and DDB Handles. If 4072193267Sjkimnecessary, the original behavior can be restored by enabling the 4073151937SjkimEnableInterpreterSlack flag. 4074151937Sjkim 4075193267SjkimEnhanced the optional "implicit return" support to allow an implicit return 4076193267Sjkimvalue from methods that are invoked externally via the AcpiEvaluateObject 4077193267Sjkiminterface. This enables implicit returns from the _STA and _INI methods, 4078193267Sjkimfor example. 4079151937Sjkim 4080193267SjkimChanged the Revision() ASL/AML operator to return the current version of the 4081193267SjkimAML interpreter, in the YYYYMMDD format. Previously, it incorrectly returned 4082193267Sjkimthe supported ACPI version (This is the function of the _REV method). 4083151937Sjkim 4084193267SjkimUpdated the _REV predefined method to return the currently supported version 4085193267Sjkimof ACPI, now 3. 4086151937Sjkim 4087151937SjkimImplemented batch mode option for the AcpiExec utility (-b). 4088151937Sjkim 4089193267SjkimCode and Data Size: Current and previous core subsystem library sizes are 4090193267Sjkimshown below. These are the code and data sizes for the acpica.lib produced 4091193267Sjkimby the Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0 compiler, and these values do not include 4092193267Sjkimany ACPI driver or OSPM code. The debug version of the code includes the 4093193267Sjkimdebug output trace mechanism and has a much larger code and data size. Note 4094193267Sjkimthat these values will vary depending on the efficiency of the compiler and 4095193267Sjkimthe compiler options used during generation. 4096151937Sjkim 4097151937Sjkim Previous Release: 4098151937Sjkim Non-Debug Version: 78.3K Code, 11.5K Data, 89.8K Total 4099151937Sjkim Debug Version: 165.3K Code, 69.4K Data, 234.7K Total 4100151937Sjkim Current Release: 4101151937Sjkim Non-Debug Version: 78.4K Code, 11.5K Data, 89.9K Total 4102151937Sjkim Debug Version: 165.4K Code, 69.4K Data, 234.8K Total 4103151937Sjkim 4104151937Sjkim---------------------------------------- 4105151937Sjkim10 December 2004. Summary of changes for version 20041210: 4106151937Sjkim 4107193267SjkimACPI 3.0 support is nearing completion in both the iASL compiler and the 4108193267SjkimACPI CA core subsystem. 4109151937Sjkim 4110151937Sjkim1) ACPI CA Core Subsystem: 4111151937Sjkim 4112193267SjkimFixed a problem in the ToDecimalString operator where the resulting string 4113193267Sjkimlength was incorrectly calculated. The length is now calculated exactly, 4114193267Sjkimeliminating incorrect AE_STRING_LIMIT exceptions. 4115151937Sjkim 4116193267SjkimFixed a problem in the ToHexString operator to allow a maximum 200 character 4117193267Sjkimstring to be produced. 4118151937Sjkim 4119193267SjkimFixed a problem in the internal string-to-buffer and buffer-to-buffer copy 4120193267Sjkimroutine where the length of the resulting buffer was not truncated to the 4121193267Sjkimnew size (if the target buffer already existed). 4122151937Sjkim 4123193267SjkimCode and Data Size: Current and previous core subsystem library sizes are 4124193267Sjkimshown below.

The optimizer shortened the AML code to a single byte opcode 4156193267Sjkimbut did not update the surrounding package lengths. 4157151937Sjkim 4158193267SjkimChanges to the Dma macro: All channels within the channel list must be in 4159193267Sjkimthe range 0-7. Maximum 8 channels can be specified. BusMaster operand is 4160193267Sjkimoptional (default is BusMaster). 4161151937Sjkim 4162193267SjkimImplemented check for maximum 7 data bytes for the VendorShort macro. 4163151937Sjkim 4164193267SjkimThe ReadWrite parameter is now optional for the Memory32 and similar macros. 4165151937Sjkim 4166151937Sjkim---------------------------------------- 4167151937Sjkim03 December 2004. Summary of changes for version 20041203: 4168151937Sjkim 4169151937Sjkim1) ACPI CA Core Subsystem: 4170151937Sjkim 4171193267SjkimThe low-level field insertion/extraction code (exfldio) has been completely 4172193267Sjkimrewritten to eliminate unnecessary complexity, bugs, and boundary 4173193267Sjkimconditions. 4174151937Sjkim 4175193267SjkimFixed a problem in the ToInteger, ToBuffer, ToHexString, and ToDecimalString 4176193267Sjkimoperators where the input operand could be inadvertently deleted if no 4177193267Sjkimconversion was necessary (e.g., if the input to ToInteger was an Integer 4178193267Sjkimobject.) 4179151937Sjkim 4180193267SjkimFixed a problem with the ToDecimalString and ToHexString where an incorrect 4181193267Sjkimexception code was returned if the resulting string would be > 200 chars. 4182193267SjkimAE_STRING_LIMIT is now returned. 4183151937Sjkim 4184193267SjkimFixed a problem with the Concatenate operator where AE_OK was always 4185193267Sjkimreturned, even if the operation failed. 4186151937Sjkim 4187193267SjkimFixed a problem in oswinxf (used by AcpiExec and iASL) to allow > 128 4188193267Sjkimsemaphores to be allocated. 4189151937Sjkim 4190193267SjkimCode and Data Size: Current and previous core subsystem library sizes are 4191193267Sjkimshown below.

This routine converts 4221193267Sjkimbuffers and strings to integers. 4222138287Smarks 4223193267SjkimImplemented support to store a value to an Index() on a String object. This 4224193267Sjkimis an ACPI 2.0 feature that had not yet been implemented. 4225138287Smarks 4226193267SjkimImplemented new behavior for storing objects to individual package elements 4227193267Sjkim(via the Index() operator). The previous behavior was to invoke the implicit 4228193267Sjkimconversion rules if an object was already present at the index. The new 4229193267Sjkimbehavior is to simply delete any existing object and directly store the new 4230193267Sjkimobject. Although the ACPI specification seems unclear on this subject, other 4231193267SjkimACPI implementations behave in this manner. (This is the root of the 4232193267SjkimAE_BAD_HEX_CONSTANT issue.) 4233138287Smarks 4234193267SjkimModified the RSDP memory scan mechanism to support the extended checksum for 4235193267SjkimACPI 2.0 (and above) RSDPs. Note that the search continues until a valid 4236193267SjkimRSDP signature is found with a valid checksum. 4237138287Smarks 4238193267SjkimCode and Data Size: Current and previous core subsystem library sizes are 4239193267Sjkimshown below. These are the code and data sizes for the acpica.lib produced 4240193267Sjkimby the Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0 compiler, and these values do not include 4241193267Sjkimany ACPI driver or OSPM code. The debug version of the code includes the 4242193267Sjkimdebug output trace mechanism and has a much larger code and data size. Note 4243193267Sjkimthat these values will vary depending on the efficiency of the compiler and 4244193267Sjkimthe compiler options used during generation. 4245138287Smarks 4246151937Sjkim Previous Release: 4247151937Sjkim Non-Debug Version: 78.5K Code, 11.5K Data, 90.0K Total 4248151937Sjkim Debug Version: 165.2K Code, 68.6K Data, 233.8K Total 4249151937Sjkim Current Release: 4250151937Sjkim Non-Debug Version: 78.5K Code, 11.5K Data, 90.0K Total 4251151937Sjkim Debug Version: 165.2K Code, 68.6K Data, 233.8K Total 4252138287Smarks 4253138287Smarks 4254138287Smarks2) iASL Compiler/Disassembler: 4255138287Smarks 4256138287SmarksFixed a missing semicolon in the aslcompiler.y file. 4257138287Smarks 4258138287Smarks---------------------------------------- 4259138287Smarks05 November 2004. Summary of changes for version 20041105: 4260138287Smarks 4261138287Smarks1) ACPI CA Core Subsystem: 4262138287Smarks 4263193267SjkimImplemented support for FADT revision 2. This was an interim table (between 4264193267SjkimACPI 1.0 and ACPI 2.0) that adds support for the FADT reset register. 4265138287Smarks 4266193267SjkimImplemented optional support to allow uninitialized LocalX and ArgX 4267193267Sjkimvariables in a control method. The variables are initialized to an Integer 4268193267Sjkimobject with a value of zero. This support is enabled by setting the 4269193267SjkimAcpiGbl_EnableInterpreterSlack flag to TRUE. 4270138287Smarks 4271193267SjkimImplemented support for Integer objects for the SizeOf operator. Either 4 4272193267Sjkimor 8 is returned, depending on the current integer size (32-bit or 64-bit, 4273193267Sjkimdepending on the parent table revision). 4274138287Smarks 4275193267SjkimFixed a problem in the implementation of the SizeOf and ObjectType operators 4276193267Sjkimwhere the operand was resolved to a value too early, causing incorrect 4277193267Sjkimreturn values for some objects. 4278138287Smarks 4279138287SmarksFixed some possible memory leaks during exceptional conditions. 4280138287Smarks 4281193267SjkimCode and Data Size: Current and previous core subsystem library sizes are 4282193267Sjkimshown below.

Summary of changes for version 20041015: 4311138287Smarks 4312193267SjkimNote: ACPI CA is currently undergoing an in-depth and complete formal 4313193267Sjkimevaluation to test/verify the following areas. Other suggestions are 4314193267Sjkimwelcome. This will result in an increase in the frequency of releases and 4315193267Sjkimthe number of bug fixes in the next few months. 4316138287Smarks - Functional tests for all ASL/AML operators 4317138287Smarks - All implicit/explicit type conversions 4318138287Smarks - Bit fields and operation regions 4319138287Smarks - 64-bit math support and 32-bit-only "truncated" math support 4320138287Smarks - Exceptional conditions, both compiler and interpreter 4321138287Smarks - Dynamic object deletion and memory leaks 4322138287Smarks - ACPI 3.0 support when implemented 4323138287Smarks - External interfaces to the ACPI subsystem 4324138287Smarks 4325138287Smarks 4326138287Smarks1) ACPI CA Core Subsystem: 4327138287Smarks 4328193267SjkimFixed two alignment issues on 64-bit platforms - within debug statements in 4329193267SjkimAcpiEvGpeDetect and AcpiEvCreateGpeBlock. Removed references to the Address 4330193267Sjkimfield within the non-aligned ACPI generic address structure. 4331138287Smarks 4332193267SjkimFixed a problem in the Increment and Decrement operators where incorrect 4333193267Sjkimoperand resolution could result in the inadvertent modification of the 4334193267Sjkimoriginal integer when the integer is passed into another method as an 4335193267Sjkimargument and the arg is then incremented/decremented. 4336138287Smarks 4337193267SjkimFixed a problem in the FromBCD operator where the upper 32-bits of a 64-bit 4338193267SjkimBCD number were truncated during conversion. 4339138287Smarks 4340193267SjkimFixed a problem in the ToDecimal operator where the length of the resulting 4341193267Sjkimstring could be set incorrectly too long if the input operand was a Buffer 4342193267Sjkimobject. 4343138287Smarks 4344193267SjkimFixed a problem in the Logical operators (LLess, etc.) where a NULL byte (0) 4345193267Sjkimwithin a buffer would prematurely terminate a compare between buffer 4346193267Sjkimobjects. 4347138287Smarks 4348193267SjkimAdded a check for string overflow (>200 characters as per the ACPI 4349193267Sjkimspecification) during the Concatenate operator with two string operands. 4350138287Smarks 4351193267SjkimCode and Data Size: Current and previous core subsystem library sizes are 4352193267Sjkimshown below. These are the code and data sizes for the acpica.lib produced 4353193267Sjkimby the Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0 compiler, and these values do not include 4354193267Sjkimany ACPI driver or OSPM code. The debug version of the code includes the 4355193267Sjkimdebug output trace mechanism and has a much larger code and data size.

All EISAID strings must be of the form "UUUNNNN" Where 4378193267SjkimU is an uppercase letter and N is a hex digit. 4379138287Smarks 4380138287Smarks 4381138287Smarks---------------------------------------- 4382138287Smarks06 October 2004. Summary of changes for version 20041006: 4383138287Smarks 4384138287Smarks1) ACPI CA Core Subsystem: 4385138287Smarks 4386193267SjkimImplemented support for the ACPI 3.0 Timer operator. This ASL function 4387193267Sjkimimplements a 64-bit timer with 100 nanosecond granularity. 4388138287Smarks 4389193267SjkimDefined a new OSL interface, AcpiOsGetTimer. This interface is used to 4390193267Sjkimimplement the ACPI 3.0 Timer operator. This allows the host OS to implement 4391193267Sjkimthe timer with the best clock available. Also, it keeps the core subsystem 4392193267Sjkimout of the clock handling business, since the host OS (usually) performs 4393193267Sjkimthis function. 4394138287Smarks 4395193267SjkimFixed an alignment issue on 64-bit platforms. The HwLowLevelRead(Write) 4396193267Sjkimfunctions use a 64-bit address which is part of the packed ACPI Generic 4397193267SjkimAddress Structure. Since the structure is non-aligned, the alignment macros 4398193267Sjkimare now used to extract the address to a local variable before use. 4399138287Smarks 4400193267SjkimFixed a problem where the ToInteger operator assumed all input strings were 4401193267Sjkimhexadecimal. The operator now handles both decimal strings and hex strings 4402193267Sjkim(prefixed with "0x"). 4403138287Smarks 4404193267SjkimFixed a problem where the string length in the string object created as a 4405193267Sjkimresult of the internal ConvertToString procedure could be incorrect. This 4406193267Sjkimpotentially affected all implicit conversions and also the ToDecimalString 4407193267Sjkimand ToHexString operators. 4408138287Smarks 4409193267SjkimFixed two problems in the ToString operator. If the length parameter was 4410193267Sjkimzero, an incorrect string object was created and the value of the input 4411193267Sjkimlength parameter was inadvertently changed from zero to Ones. 4412138287Smarks 4413193267SjkimFixed a problem where the optional ResourceSource string in the ExtendedIRQ 4414193267Sjkimresource macro was ignored. 4415138287Smarks 4416193267SjkimSimplified the interfaces to the internal division functions, reducing code 4417193267Sjkimsize and complexity. 4418138287Smarks 4419193267SjkimCode and Data Size: Current and previous core subsystem library sizes are 4420193267Sjkimshown below.

This was a problem in the translation of the Switch 4441193267Sjkimstatement to If...Else pairs. 4442138287Smarks 4443193267SjkimAdded support to allow a standalone Return operator, with no parentheses (or 4444193267Sjkimoperands). 4445138287Smarks 4446193267SjkimFixed a problem with code generation for the ElseIf operator where the 4447193267Sjkimtranslated Else...If parse tree was improperly constructed leading to the 4448193267Sjkimloss of some code. 4449138287Smarks 4450138287Smarks---------------------------------------- 4451138287Smarks22 September 2004. Summary of changes for version 20040922: 4452138287Smarks 4453138287Smarks1) ACPI CA Core Subsystem: 4454138287Smarks 4455193267SjkimFixed a problem with the implementation of the LNot() operator where "Ones" 4456193267Sjkimwas not returned for the TRUE case. Changed the code to return Ones instead 4457193267Sjkimof (!Arg) which was usually 1. This change affects iASL constant folding for 4458193267Sjkimthis operator also. 4459138287Smarks 4460193267SjkimFixed a problem in AcpiUtInitializeBuffer where an existing buffer was not 4461193267Sjkiminitialized properly -- Now zero the entire buffer in this case where the 4462193267Sjkimbuffer already exists. 4463138287Smarks 4464193267SjkimChanged the interface to AcpiOsSleep from (UINT32 Seconds, UINT32 4465193267SjkimMilliseconds) to simply (ACPI_INTEGER Milliseconds). This simplifies all 4466193267Sjkimrelated code considerably. This will require changes/updates to all OS 4467193267Sjkiminterface layers (OSLs.) 4468138287Smarks 4469193267SjkimImplemented a new external interface, AcpiInstallExceptionHandler, to allow 4470193267Sjkima system exception handler to be installed. This handler is invoked upon any 4471193267Sjkimrun-time exception that occurs during control method execution. 4472138287Smarks 4473193267SjkimAdded support for the DSDT in AcpiTbFindTable. This allows the 4474138287SmarksDataTableRegion() operator to access the local copy of the DSDT. 4475138287Smarks 4476193267SjkimCode and Data Size: Current and previous core subsystem library sizes are 4477193267Sjkimshown below. These are the code and data sizes for the acpica.lib produced 4478193267Sjkimby the Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0 compiler, and these values do not include 4479193267Sjkimany ACPI driver or OSPM code. The debug version of the code includes the 4480193267Sjkimdebug output trace mechanism and has a much larger code and data size. Note 4481193267Sjkimthat these values will vary depending on the efficiency of the compiler and 4482193267Sjkimthe compiler options used during generation. 4483138287Smarks 4484138287Smarks Previous Release: 4485138287Smarks Non-Debug Version: 77.8K Code, 11.4K Data, 89.2K Total 4486138287Smarks Debug Version: 164.2K Code, 68.2K Data, 232.4K Total 4487138287Smarks Current Release: 4488138287Smarks Non-Debug Version: 77.9K Code, 11.4K Data, 89.3K Total 4489138287Smarks Debug Version: 164.5K Code, 68.3K Data, 232.8K Total 4490138287Smarks 4491138287Smarks 4492138287Smarks2) iASL Compiler/Disassembler: 4493138287Smarks 4494193267SjkimFixed a problem with constant folding and the LNot operator. LNot was 4495193267Sjkimreturning 1 in the TRUE case, not Ones as per the ACPI specification. This 4496193267Sjkimcould result in the generation of an incorrect folded/reduced constant. 4497138287Smarks 4498193267SjkimEnd-Of-File is now allowed within a "//"-style comment. A parse error no 4499193267Sjkimlonger occurs if such a comment is at the very end of the input ASL source 4500193267Sjkimfile. 4501138287Smarks 4502193267SjkimImplemented the "-r" option to override the Revision in the table header. 4503193267SjkimThe initial use of this option will be to simplify the evaluation of the AML 4504193267Sjkiminterpreter by allowing a single ASL source module to be compiled for either 4505193267Sjkim32-bit or 64-bit integers. 4506138287Smarks 4507138287Smarks 4508138287Smarks---------------------------------------- 4509138287Smarks27 August 2004. Summary of changes for version 20040827: 4510138287Smarks 4511138287Smarks1) ACPI CA Core Subsystem: 4512138287Smarks 4513193267Sjkim- Implemented support for implicit object conversion in the non-numeric 4514193267Sjkimlogical operators (LEqual, LGreater, LGreaterEqual, LLess, LLessEqual, and 4515193267SjkimLNotEqual.) Any combination of Integers/Strings/Buffers may now be used; 4516193267Sjkimthe second operand is implicitly converted on the fly to match the type of 4517193267Sjkimthe first operand. For example: 4518138287Smarks 4519138287Smarks LEqual (Source1, Source2) 4520138287Smarks 4521193267SjkimSource1 and Source2 must each evaluate to an integer, a string, or a buffer. 4522193267SjkimThe data type of Source1 dictates the required type of Source2. Source2 is 4523193267Sjkimimplicitly converted if necessary to match the type of Source1. 4524138287Smarks 4525193267Sjkim- Updated and corrected the behavior of the string conversion support. The 4526193267Sjkimrules concerning conversion of buffers to strings (according to the ACPI 4527193267Sjkimspecification) are as follows: 4528138287Smarks 4529193267SjkimToDecimalString - explicit byte-wise conversion of buffer to string of 4530193267Sjkimdecimal values (0-255) separated by commas. ToHexString - explicit byte-wise 4531193267Sjkimconversion of buffer to string of hex values (0-FF) separated by commas. 4532193267SjkimToString - explicit byte-wise conversion of buffer to string. Byte-by-byte 4533193267Sjkimcopy with no transform except NULL terminated. Any other implicit buffer-to- 4534193267Sjkimstring conversion - byte-wise conversion of buffer to string of hex values 4535193267Sjkim(0-FF) separated by spaces. 4536138287Smarks 4537138287Smarks- Fixed typo in definition of AcpiGbl_EnableInterpreterSlack. 4538138287Smarks 4539193267Sjkim- Fixed a problem in AcpiNsGetPathnameLength where the returned length was 4540193267Sjkimone byte too short in the case of a node in the root scope. This could 4541193267Sjkimcause a fault during debug output. 4542138287Smarks 4543193267Sjkim- Code and Data Size: Current and previous core subsystem library sizes are 4544193267Sjkimshown below.

Summary of changes for version 20040816: 4566138287Smarks 4567138287Smarks1) ACPI CA Core Subsystem: 4568138287Smarks 4569193267SjkimDesigned and implemented support within the AML interpreter for the so- 4570193267Sjkimcalled "implicit return". This support returns the result of the last ASL 4571193267Sjkimoperation within a control method, in the absence of an explicit Return() 4572193267Sjkimoperator. A few machines depend on this behavior, even though it is not 4573193267Sjkimexplicitly supported by the ASL language. It is optional support that can 4574193267Sjkimbe enabled at runtime via the AcpiGbl_EnableInterpreterSlack flag. 4575138287Smarks 4576193267SjkimRemoved support for the PCI_Config address space from the internal low level 4577193267Sjkimhardware interfaces (AcpiHwLowLevelRead and AcpiHwLowLevelWrite). This 4578193267Sjkimsupport was not used internally, and would not work correctly anyway because 4579193267Sjkimthe PCI bus number and segment number were not supported. There are 4580193267Sjkimseparate interfaces for PCI configuration space access because of the unique 4581138287Smarksinterface. 4582138287Smarks 4583193267SjkimCode and Data Size: Current and previous core subsystem library sizes are 4584193267Sjkimshown below.

This problem was introduced in the 20040715 release. 4604138287Smarks 4605138287Smarks 4606138287Smarks---------------------------------------- 4607138287Smarks15 July 2004. Summary of changes for version 20040715: 4608138287Smarks 4609138287Smarks1) ACPI CA Core Subsystem: 4610138287Smarks 4611193267SjkimRestructured the internal HW GPE interfaces to pass/track the current state 4612193267Sjkimof interrupts (enabled/disabled) in order to avoid possible deadlock and 4613193267Sjkimincrease flexibility of the interfaces. 4614138287Smarks 4615193267SjkimImplemented a "lexicographical compare" for String and Buffer objects within 4616193267Sjkimthe logical operators -- LGreater, LLess, LGreaterEqual, and LLessEqual -- 4617193267Sjkimas per further clarification to the ACPI specification. Behavior is similar 4618193267Sjkimto C library "strcmp". 4619138287Smarks 4620193267SjkimCompleted a major reduction in CPU stack use for the AcpiGetFirmwareTable 4621193267Sjkimexternal function. In the 32-bit non-debug case, the stack use has been 4622193267Sjkimreduced from 168 bytes to 32 bytes. 4623138287Smarks 4624193267SjkimDeployed a new run-time configuration flag, AcpiGbl_EnableInterpreterSlack, 4625193267Sjkimwhose purpose is to allow the AML interpreter to forgive certain bad AML 4626193267Sjkimconstructs. Default setting is FALSE. 4627138287Smarks 4628193267SjkimImplemented the first use of AcpiGbl_EnableInterpreterSlack in the Field IO 4629193267Sjkimsupport code. If enabled, it allows field access to go beyond the end of a 4630193267Sjkimregion definition if the field is within the region length rounded up to the 4631193267Sjkimnext access width boundary (a common coding error.) 4632138287Smarks 4633193267SjkimRenamed OSD_HANDLER to ACPI_OSD_HANDLER, and OSD_EXECUTION_CALLBACK to 4634193267SjkimACPI_OSD_EXEC_CALLBACK for consistency with other ACPI symbols. Also, these 4635193267Sjkimsymbols are lowercased by the latest version of the AcpiSrc tool. 4636138287Smarks 4637193267SjkimThe prototypes for the PCI interfaces in acpiosxf.h have been updated to 4638193267Sjkimrename "Register" to simply "Reg" to prevent certain compilers from 4639193267Sjkimcomplaining. 4640138287Smarks 4641193267SjkimCode and Data Size: Current and previous core subsystem library sizes are 4642193267Sjkimshown below.

(Used in Switch/Case operators.) 4670138287Smarks 4671193267SjkimEliminated optimization messages for "_T_x" objects and small constants 4672193267Sjkimwithin the DefinitionBlock operator. 4673138287Smarks 4674138287Smarks 4675138287Smarks---------------------------------------- 4676138287Smarks15 June 2004.

This applies when using the -g or - 4722193267Sjkimd<nofilename> options. The compiler now looks for both strings as 4723193267Sjkimnecessary. 4724138287Smarks 4725193267SjkimFixed a problem with compiler namepath optimization where a namepath within 4726193267Sjkimthe Scope() operator could not be optimized if the namepath was a subpath of 4727193267Sjkimthe current scope path. 4728138287Smarks 4729138287Smarks---------------------------------------- 4730131440Smarks27 May 2004.

The original code improperly scanned for the 4736193267SjkimEBDA by simply scanning from memory location 0 to 0x400. The correct method 4737193267Sjkimis to first obtain the EBDA pointer from within the BIOS data area, then 4738193267Sjkimscan 1K of memory starting at the EBDA pointer. There appear to be few if 4739131440Smarksany machines that place the RSDP in the EBDA, however. 4740131440Smarks 4741193267SjkimIntegrated a fix for a possible fault during evaluation of BufferField 4742193267Sjkimarguments. Obsolete code that was causing the problem was removed. 4743131440Smarks 4744193267SjkimFound and fixed a problem in the Field Support Code where data could be 4745193267Sjkimcorrupted on a bit field read that starts on an aligned boundary but does 4746193267Sjkimnot end on an aligned boundary. Merged the read/write "datum length" 4747193267Sjkimcalculation code into a common procedure. 4748131440Smarks 4749131440SmarksRolled in a couple of changes to the FreeBSD-specific header. 4750131440Smarks 4751167802Sjkim 4752193267SjkimCode and Data Size: Current and previous core subsystem library sizes are 4753193267Sjkimshown below.

Result of 04/27 changes. 4780129684Snjl 4781129684SnjlRemoved extra "clear all GPEs" when sleeping/waking. 4782129684Snjl 4783193267SjkimRemoved AcpiHwEnableGpe and AcpiHwDisableGpe, replaced by the single 4784193267SjkimAcpiHwWriteGpeEnableReg. Changed a couple of calls to the functions above to 4785193267Sjkimthe new AcpiEv* calls as appropriate. 4786129684Snjl 4787193267SjkimACPI_OS_NAME was removed from the OS-specific headers. The default name is 4788193267Sjkimnow "Microsoft Windows NT" for maximum compatibility. However this can be 4789193267Sjkimchanged by modifying the acconfig.h file. 4790129684Snjl 4791193267SjkimAllow a single invocation of AcpiInstallNotifyHandler for a handler that 4792193267Sjkimtraps both types of notifies (System, Device). Use ACPI_ALL_NOTIFY flag. 4793129684Snjl 4794193267SjkimRun _INI methods on ThermalZone objects. This is against the ACPI 4795193267Sjkimspecification, but there is apparently ASL code in the field that has these 4796193267Sjkim_INI methods, and apparently "other" AML interpreters execute them. 4797129684Snjl 4798193267SjkimPerformed a full 16/32/64 bit lint that resulted in some small changes. 4799129684Snjl 4800193267SjkimAdded a sleep simulation command to the AML debugger to test sleep code. 4801129684Snjl 4802193267SjkimCode and Data Size: Current and previous core subsystem library sizes are 4803193267Sjkimshown below.

Summary of changes for version 20040427: 4819129684Snjl 4820129684Snjl1) ACPI CA Core Subsystem: 4821129684Snjl 4822193267SjkimCompleted a major overhaul of the GPE handling within ACPI CA. There are 4823193267Sjkimnow three types of GPEs: wake-only, runtime-only, and combination wake/run. 4824193267SjkimThe only GPEs allowed to be combination wake/run are for button-style 4825193267Sjkimdevices such as a control-method power button, control-method sleep button, 4826193267Sjkimor a notebook lid switch. GPEs that have an _Lxx or _Exx method and are not 4827193267Sjkimreferenced by any _PRW methods are marked for "runtime" and hardware 4828193267Sjkimenabled. Any GPE that is referenced by a _PRW method is marked for "wake" 4829193267Sjkim(and disabled at runtime). However, at sleep time, only those GPEs that 4830193267Sjkimhave been specifically enabled for wake via the AcpiEnableGpe interface will 4831193267Sjkimactually be hardware enabled. 4832129684Snjl 4833193267SjkimA new external interface has been added, AcpiSetGpeType(), that is meant to 4834193267Sjkimbe used by device drivers to force a GPE to a particular type. It will be 4835193267Sjkimespecially useful for the drivers for the button devices mentioned above. 4836129684Snjl 4837193267SjkimCompleted restructuring of the ACPI CA initialization sequence so that 4838193267Sjkimdefault operation region handlers are installed before GPEs are initialized 4839193267Sjkimand the _PRW methods are executed. This will prevent errors when the _PRW 4840193267Sjkimmethods attempt to access system memory or I/O space. 4841129684Snjl 4842193267SjkimGPE enable/disable no longer reads the GPE enable register. We now keep the 4843193267Sjkimenable info for runtime and wake separate and in the GPE_EVENT_INFO. We 4844193267Sjkimthus no longer depend on the hardware to maintain these bits. 4845129684Snjl 4846193267SjkimAlways clear the wake status and fixed/GPE status bits before sleep, even 4847193267Sjkimfor state S5. 4848129684Snjl 4849193267SjkimImproved the AML debugger output for displaying the GPE blocks and their 4850193267Sjkimcurrent status. 4851129684Snjl 4852193267SjkimAdded new strings for the _OSI method, of the form "Windows 2001 SPx" where 4853193267Sjkimx = 0,1,2,3,4. 4854129684Snjl 4855193267SjkimFixed a problem where the physical address was incorrectly calculated when 4856193267Sjkimthe Load() operator was used to directly load from an Operation Region (vs. 4857193267Sjkimloading from a Field object.) Also added check for minimum table length for 4858193267Sjkimthis case. 4859129684Snjl 4860193267SjkimFix for multiple mutex acquisition. Restore original thread SyncLevel on 4861193267Sjkimmutex release. 4862129684Snjl 4863193267SjkimAdded ACPI_VALID_SXDS flag to the AcpiGetObjectInfo interface for 4864129684Snjlconsistency with the other fields returned. 4865129684Snjl 4866193267SjkimShrunk the ACPI_GPE_EVENT_INFO structure by 40%. There is one such 4867193267Sjkimstructure for each GPE in the system, so the size of this structure is 4868193267Sjkimimportant. 4869129684Snjl 4870193267SjkimCPU stack requirement reduction: Cleaned up the method execution and object 4871193267Sjkimevaluation paths so that now a parameter structure is passed, instead of 4872193267Sjkimcopying the various method parameters over and over again. 4873129684Snjl 4874193267SjkimIn evregion.c: Correctly exit and reenter the interpreter region if and 4875193267Sjkimonly if dispatching an operation region request to a user-installed handler. 4876193267SjkimDo not exit/reenter when dispatching to a default handler (e.g., default 4877193267Sjkimsystem memory or I/O handlers) 4878129684Snjl 4879129684Snjl 4880193267SjkimNotes for updating drivers for the new GPE support. The following changes 4881193267Sjkimmust be made to ACPI-related device drivers that are attached to one or more 4882193267SjkimGPEs: (This information will be added to the ACPI CA Programmer Reference.) 4883129684Snjl 4884193267Sjkim1) AcpiInstallGpeHandler no longer automatically enables the GPE, you must 4885193267Sjkimexplicitly call AcpiEnableGpe. 4886193267Sjkim2) There is a new interface called AcpiSetGpeType. This should be called 4887193267Sjkimbefore enabling the GPE. Also, this interface will automatically disable 4888193267Sjkimthe GPE if it is currently enabled. 4889129684Snjl3) AcpiEnableGpe no longer supports a GPE type flag. 4890129684Snjl 4891129684SnjlSpecific drivers that must be changed: 4892129684Snjl1) EC driver: 4893193267Sjkim AcpiInstallGpeHandler (NULL, GpeNum, ACPI_GPE_EDGE_TRIGGERED, 4894129684SnjlAeGpeHandler, NULL); 4895129684Snjl AcpiSetGpeType (NULL, GpeNum, ACPI_GPE_TYPE_RUNTIME); 4896129684Snjl AcpiEnableGpe (NULL, GpeNum, ACPI_NOT_ISR); 4897129684Snjl 4898129684Snjl2) Button Drivers (Power, Lid, Sleep): 4899129684SnjlRun _PRW method under parent device 4900129684SnjlIf _PRW exists: /* This is a control-method button */ 4901129684Snjl Extract GPE number and possibly GpeDevice 4902129684Snjl AcpiSetGpeType (GpeDevice, GpeNum, ACPI_GPE_TYPE_WAKE_RUN); 4903129684Snjl AcpiEnableGpe (GpeDevice, GpeNum, ACPI_NOT_ISR); 4904129684Snjl 4905193267SjkimFor all other devices that have _PRWs, we automatically set the GPE type to 4906193267SjkimACPI_GPE_TYPE_WAKE, but the GPE is NOT automatically (wake) enabled. This 4907193267Sjkimmust be done on a selective basis, usually requiring some kind of user app 4908193267Sjkimto allow the user to pick the wake devices. 4909129684Snjl 4910129684Snjl 4911193267SjkimCode and Data Size: Current and previous core subsystem library sizes are 4912193267Sjkimshown below.

Summary of changes for version 20040402: 4931128212Snjl 4932128212Snjl1) ACPI CA Core Subsystem: 4933128212Snjl 4934193267SjkimFixed an interpreter problem where an indirect store through an ArgX 4935193267Sjkimparameter was incorrectly applying the "implicit conversion rules" during 4936193267Sjkimthe store. From the ACPI specification: "If the target is a method local or 4937193267Sjkimargument (LocalX or ArgX), no conversion is performed and the result is 4938193267Sjkimstored directly to the target". The new behavior is to disable implicit 4939193267Sjkimconversion during ALL stores to an ArgX. 4940128212Snjl 4941193267SjkimChanged the behavior of the _PRW method scan to ignore any and all errors 4942193267Sjkimreturned by a given _PRW. This prevents the scan from aborting from the 4943193267Sjkimfailure of any single _PRW. 4944128212Snjl 4945193267SjkimMoved the runtime configuration parameters from the global init procedure to 4946193267Sjkimstatic variables in acglobal.h. This will allow the host to override the 4947193267Sjkimdefault values easily. 4948128212Snjl 4949193267SjkimCode and Data Size: Current and previous core subsystem library sizes are 4950193267Sjkimshown below.

However, External() statements are not 4968193267Sjkimgenerated automatically for unresolved symbols at this time. This is a 4969193267Sjkimplanned feature for future implementation. 4970128212Snjl 4971193267SjkimFixed a scoping problem in the disassembler that occurs when the type of the 4972193267Sjkimtarget of a Scope() operator is overridden. This problem caused an 4973193267Sjkimincorrectly nested internal namespace to be constructed. 4974128212Snjl 4975193267SjkimAny warnings or errors that are emitted during disassembly are now commented 4976193267Sjkimout automatically so that the resulting file can be recompiled without any 4977193267Sjkimhand editing. 4978128212Snjl 4979128212Snjl---------------------------------------- 4980128212Snjl26 March 2004. Summary of changes for version 20040326: 4981128212Snjl 4982128212Snjl1) ACPI CA Core Subsystem: 4983128212Snjl 4984193267SjkimImplemented support for "wake" GPEs via interaction between GPEs and the 4985193267Sjkim_PRW methods. Every GPE that is pointed to by one or more _PRWs is 4986193267Sjkimidentified as a WAKE GPE and by default will no longer be enabled at 4987193267Sjkimruntime. Previously, we were blindly enabling all GPEs with a corresponding 4988193267Sjkim_Lxx or _Exx method - but most of these turn out to be WAKE GPEs anyway. We 4989193267Sjkimbelieve this has been the cause of thousands of "spurious" GPEs on some 4990128212Snjlsystems. 4991128212Snjl 4992193267SjkimThis new GPE behavior is can be reverted to the original behavior (enable 4993193267SjkimALL GPEs at runtime) via a runtime flag. 4994128212Snjl 4995193267SjkimFixed a problem where aliased control methods could not access objects 4996193267Sjkimproperly. The proper scope within the namespace was not initialized 4997193267Sjkim(transferred to the target of the aliased method) before executing the 4998193267Sjkimtarget method. 4999128212Snjl 5000193267SjkimFixed a potential race condition on internal object deletion on the return 5001193267Sjkimobject in AcpiEvaluateObject. 5002128212Snjl 5003193267SjkimIntegrated a fix for resource descriptors where both _MEM and _MTP were 5004193267Sjkimbeing extracted instead of just _MEM. (i.e. bitmask was incorrectly too 5005193267Sjkimwide, 0x0F instead of 0x03.) 5006128212Snjl 5007193267SjkimAdded a special case for ACPI_ROOT_OBJECT in AcpiUtGetNodeName, preventing a 5008193267Sjkimfault in some cases. 5009128212Snjl 5010128212SnjlUpdated Notify() values for debug statements in evmisc.c 5011128212Snjl 5012193267SjkimReturn proper status from AcpiUtMutexInitialize, not just simply AE_OK. 5013128212Snjl 5014193267SjkimCode and Data Size: Current and previous core subsystem library sizes are 5015193267Sjkimshown below.

Summary of changes for version 20040311: 5032127175Snjl 5033127175Snjl1) ACPI CA Core Subsystem: 5034127175Snjl 5035193267SjkimFixed a problem where errors occurring during the parse phase of control 5036193267Sjkimmethod execution did not abort cleanly. For example, objects created and 5037193267Sjkiminstalled in the namespace were not deleted. This caused all subsequent 5038193267Sjkiminvocations of the method to return the AE_ALREADY_EXISTS exception. 5039127175Snjl 5040193267SjkimImplemented a mechanism to force a control method to "Serialized" execution 5041193267Sjkimif the method attempts to create namespace objects. (The root of the 5042193267SjkimAE_ALREADY_EXISTS problem.) 5043127175Snjl 5044193267SjkimImplemented support for the predefined _OSI "internal" control method. 5045193267SjkimInitial supported strings are "Linux", "Windows 2000", "Windows 2001", and 5046193267Sjkim"Windows 2001.1", and can be easily upgraded for new strings as necessary. 5047193267SjkimThis feature will allow "other" operating systems to execute the fully 5048193267Sjkimtested, "Windows" code path through the ASL code 5049127175Snjl 5050193267SjkimGlobal Lock Support: Now allows multiple acquires and releases with any 5051193267Sjkiminternal thread. Removed concept of "owning thread" for this special mutex. 5052127175Snjl 5053193267SjkimFixed two functions that were inappropriately declaring large objects on the 5054193267SjkimCPU stack: PsParseLoop, NsEvaluateRelative. Reduces the stack usage during 5055193267Sjkimmethod execution considerably. 5056127175Snjl 5057193267SjkimFixed a problem in the ACPI 2.0 FACS descriptor (actbl2.h) where the 5058193267SjkimS4Bios_f field was incorrectly defined as UINT32 instead of UINT32_BIT. 5059127175Snjl 5060193267SjkimFixed a problem where AcpiEvGpeDetect would fault if there were no GPEs 5061193267Sjkimdefined on the machine. 5062127175Snjl 5063193267SjkimImplemented two runtime options: One to force all control method execution 5064193267Sjkimto "Serialized" to mimic Windows behavior, another to disable _OSI support 5065193267Sjkimif it causes problems on a given machine. 5066127175Snjl 5067193267SjkimCode and Data Size: Current and previous core subsystem library sizes are 5068193267Sjkimshown below.

Summary of changes for version 20031203: 5169126372Snjl 5170126372Snjl1) ACPI CA Core Subsystem: 5171126372Snjl 5172126372SnjlChanged the initialization of Operation Regions during subsystem 5173126372Snjlinit to perform two entire walks of the ACPI namespace; The first 5174126372Snjlto initialize the regions themselves, the second to execute the 5175126372Snjl_REG methods. This fixed some interdependencies across _REG 5176126372Snjlmethods found on some machines. 5177126372Snjl 5178126372SnjlFixed a problem where a Store(Local0, Local1) could simply update 5179126372Snjlthe object reference count, and not create a new copy of the 5180126372Snjlobject if the Local1 is uninitialized. 5181126372Snjl 5182126372SnjlImplemented support for the _SST reserved method during sleep 5183126372Snjltransitions. 5184126372Snjl 5185126372SnjlImplemented support to clear the SLP_TYP and SLP_EN bits when 5186126372Snjlwaking up, this is apparently required by some machines. 5187126372Snjl 5188193267SjkimWhen sleeping, clear the wake status only if SleepState is not S5. 5189126372Snjl 5190126372SnjlFixed a problem in AcpiRsExtendedIrqResource() where an incorrect 5191126372Snjlpointer arithmetic advanced a string pointer too far. 5192126372Snjl 5193126372SnjlFixed a problem in AcpiTbGetTablePtr() where a garbage pointer 5194126372Snjlcould be returned if the requested table has not been loaded. 5195126372Snjl 5196193267SjkimWithin the support for IRQ resources, restructured the handling of 5197126372Snjlthe active and edge/level bits. 5198126372Snjl 5199126372SnjlFixed a few problems in AcpiPsxExecute() where memory could be 5200126372Snjlleaked under certain error conditions. 5201126372Snjl 5202126372SnjlImproved error messages for the cases where the ACPI mode could 5203126372Snjlnot be entered. 5204126372Snjl 5205126372SnjlCode and Data Size: Current and previous core subsystem library 5206126372Snjlsizes are shown below.

Summary of changes for version 20031029: 5229126372Snjl 5230126372Snjl1) ACPI CA Core Subsystem: 5231126372Snjl 5232167802Sjkim 5233126372SnjlFixed a problem where a level-triggered GPE with an associated 5234126372Snjl_Lxx control method was incorrectly cleared twice. 5235126372Snjl 5236126372SnjlFixed a problem with the Field support code where an access can 5237126372Snjloccur beyond the end-of-region if the field is non-aligned but 5238126372Snjlextends to the very end of the parent region (resulted in an 5239126372SnjlAE_AML_REGION_LIMIT exception.) 5240126372Snjl 5241126372SnjlFixed a problem with ACPI Fixed Events where an RT Clock handler 5242193267Sjkimwould not get invoked on an RTC event. The RTC event bitmasks for 5243126372Snjlthe PM1 registers were not being initialized properly. 5244126372Snjl 5245126372SnjlImplemented support for executing _STA and _INI methods for 5246126372SnjlProcessor objects. Although this is currently not part of the 5247193267SjkimACPI specification, there is existing ASL code that depends on the 5248126372Snjlinit-time execution of these methods. 5249126372Snjl 5250126372SnjlImplemented and deployed a GetDescriptorName function to decode 5251126372Snjlthe various types of internal descriptors. Guards against null 5252126372Snjldescriptors during debug output also. 5253126372Snjl 5254126372SnjlImplemented and deployed a GetNodeName function to extract the 4- 5255193267Sjkimcharacter namespace node name. This function simplifies the debug 5256193267Sjkimand error output, as well as guarding against null pointers during 5257126372Snjloutput. 5258126372Snjl 5259126372SnjlImplemented and deployed the ACPI_FORMAT_UINT64 helper macro to 5260126372Snjlsimplify the debug and error output of 64-bit integers. This 5261126372Snjlmacro replaces the HIDWORD and LODWORD macros for dumping these 5262126372Snjlintegers. 5263126372Snjl 5264126372SnjlUpdated the implementation of the Stall() operator to only call 5265126372SnjlAcpiOsStall(), and also return an error if the operand is larger 5266126372Snjlthan 255. This preserves the required behavior of not 5267126372Snjlrelinquishing the processor, as would happen if AcpiOsSleep() was 5268126372Snjlcalled for "long stalls". 5269126372Snjl 5270126372SnjlConstructs of the form "Store(LocalX,LocalX)" where LocalX is not 5271126372Snjlinitialized are now treated as NOOPs. 5272126372Snjl 5273126372SnjlCleaned up a handful of warnings during 64-bit generation. 5274126372Snjl 5275126372SnjlFixed a reported error where and incorrect GPE number was passed 5276126372Snjlto the GPE dispatch handler. This value is only used for error 5277193267Sjkimoutput, however. Used this opportunity to clean up and streamline 5278126372Snjlthe GPE dispatch code. 5279126372Snjl 5280126372SnjlCode and Data Size: Current and previous core subsystem library 5281126372Snjlsizes are shown below.

An extra write beyond the end of the field could happen 5319126372Snjlinadvertently. 5320126372Snjl 5321126372SnjlFixed a problem with Index Fields where a BUFFER_OVERFLOW error 5322126372Snjlwould incorrectly be returned if the width of the Data Register 5323126372Snjlwas larger than the specified field access width. 5324126372Snjl 5325126372SnjlCompleted fixes for LoadTable() and Unload() and verified their 5326126372Snjloperation. Implemented full support for the "DdbHandle" object 5327126372Snjlthroughout the ACPI CA subsystem. 5328126372Snjl 5329126372SnjlImplemented full support for the MADT and ECDT tables in the ACPI 5330126372SnjlCA header files. Even though these tables are not directly 5331126372Snjlconsumed by ACPI CA, the header definitions are useful for ACPI 5332126372Snjldevice drivers. 5333126372Snjl 5334126372SnjlIntegrated resource descriptor fixes posted to the Linux ACPI 5335126372Snjllist. This included checks for minimum descriptor length, and 5336126372Snjlsupport for trailing NULL strings within descriptors that have 5337126372Snjloptional string elements. 5338126372Snjl 5339126372SnjlCode and Data Size: Current and previous core subsystem library 5340126372Snjlsizes are shown below.

This catches attempts to compile binary (AML) 5360126372Snjlfiles early in the compile, with an informative error message. 5361126372Snjl 5362126372SnjlFixed a problem where the disassembler would fault if the output 5363193267Sjkimfilename could not be generated or if the output file could not be 5364126372Snjlopened. 5365126372Snjl 5366126372Snjl---------------------------------------- 5367126372Snjl18 September 2003. Summary of changes for version 20030918: 5368126372Snjl 5369126372Snjl 5370126372Snjl1) ACPI CA Core Subsystem: 5371126372Snjl 5372126372SnjlFound and fixed a longstanding problem with the late execution of 5373126372Snjlthe various deferred AML opcodes (such as Operation Regions, 5374126372SnjlBuffer Fields, Buffers, and Packages). If the name string 5375126372Snjlspecified for the name of the new object placed the object in a 5376126372Snjlscope other than the current scope, the initialization/execution 5377126372Snjlof the opcode failed. The solution to this problem was to 5378126372Snjlimplement a mechanism where the late execution of such opcodes 5379126372Snjldoes not attempt to lookup/create the name a second time in an 5380126372Snjlincorrect scope. This fixes the "region size computed 5381126372Snjlincorrectly" problem. 5382126372Snjl 5383193267SjkimFixed a call to AcpiHwRegisterWrite in hwregs.c that was causing a 5384126372SnjlGlobal Lock AE_BAD_PARAMETER error. 5385126372Snjl 5386126372SnjlFixed several 64-bit issues with prototypes, casting and data 5387126372Snjltypes. 5388126372Snjl 5389126372SnjlRemoved duplicate prototype from acdisasm.h 5390126372Snjl 5391126372SnjlFixed an issue involving EC Operation Region Detach (Shaohua Li) 5392126372Snjl 5393126372SnjlCode and Data Size: Current and previous core subsystem library 5394126372Snjlsizes are shown below.

Summary of changes for version 20030522: 5472117521Snjl 5473117521Snjl1) ACPI CA Core Subsystem: 5474117521Snjl 5475117521SnjlFound and fixed a reported problem where an AE_NOT_FOUND error 5476117521Snjloccurred occasionally during _BST evaluation. This turned out to 5477117521Snjlbe an Owner ID allocation issue where a called method did not get 5478193267Sjkima new ID assigned to it. Eventually, (after 64k calls), the Owner 5479193267SjkimID UINT16 would wraparound so that the ID would be the same as the 5480126372Snjlcaller's and the called method would delete the caller's 5481117521Snjlnamespace. 5482117521Snjl 5483117521SnjlImplemented extended error reporting for control methods that are 5484117521Snjlaborted due to a run-time exception. Output includes the exact 5485193267SjkimAML instruction that caused the method abort, a dump of the method 5486126372Snjllocals and arguments at the time of the abort, and a trace of all 5487126372Snjlnested control method calls. 5488117521Snjl 5489117521SnjlModified the interpreter to allow the creation of buffers of zero 5490117521Snjllength from the AML code. Implemented new code to ensure that no 5491117521Snjlattempt is made to actually allocate a memory buffer (of length 5492193267Sjkimzero) - instead, a simple buffer object with a NULL buffer pointer 5493126372Snjland length zero is created. A warning is no longer issued when 5494126372Snjlthe AML attempts to create a zero-length buffer. 5495117521Snjl 5496117521SnjlImplemented a workaround for the "leading asterisk issue" in 5497117521Snjl_HIDs, _UIDs, and _CIDs in the AML interpreter. One leading 5498117521Snjlasterisk is automatically removed if present in any HID, UID, or 5499117521SnjlCID strings. The iASL compiler will still flag this asterisk as 5500117521Snjlan error, however. 5501117521Snjl 5502193267SjkimImplemented full support for _CID methods that return a package of 5503193267Sjkimmultiple CIDs (Compatible IDs). The AcpiGetObjectInfo() interface 5504126372Snjlnow additionally returns a device _CID list if present. This 5505126372Snjlrequired a change to the external interface in order to pass an 5506126372SnjlACPI_BUFFER object as a parameter since the _CID list is of 5507117521Snjlvariable length. 5508117521Snjl 5509117521SnjlFixed a problem with the new AE_SAME_HANDLER exception where 5510117521Snjlhandler initialization code did not know about this exception. 5511117521Snjl 5512117521SnjlCode and Data Size: Current and previous core subsystem library 5513117521Snjlsizes are shown below. These are the code and data sizes for the 5514117521Snjlacpica.lib produced by the Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0 compiler, and 5515117521Snjlthese values do not include any ACPI driver or OSPM code. The 5516117521Snjldebug version of the code includes the debug output trace 5517117521Snjlmechanism and has a much larger code and data size.

Summary of changes for version 20030509. 5558117521Snjl 5559117521Snjl 5560117521Snjl1) ACPI CA Core Subsystem: 5561117521Snjl 5562117521SnjlChanged the subsystem initialization sequence to hold off 5563193267Sjkiminstallation of address space handlers until the hardware has been 5564193267Sjkiminitialized and the system has entered ACPI mode. This is because 5565126372Snjlthe installation of space handlers can cause _REG methods to be 5566193267Sjkimrun. Previously, the _REG methods could potentially be run before 5567126372SnjlACPI mode was enabled. 5568117521Snjl 5569193267SjkimFixed some memory leak issues related to address space handler and 5570126372Snjlnotify handler installation. There were some problems with the 5571126372Snjlreference count mechanism caused by the fact that the handler 5572117521Snjlobjects are shared across several namespace objects. 5573117521Snjl 5574117521SnjlFixed a reported problem where reference counts within the 5575117521Snjlnamespace were not properly updated when named objects created by 5576117521Snjlmethod execution were deleted. 5577117521Snjl 5578117521SnjlFixed a reported problem where multiple SSDTs caused a deletion 5579117521Snjlissue during subsystem termination. Restructured the table data 5580117521Snjlstructures to simplify the linked lists and the related code. 5581117521Snjl 5582117521SnjlFixed a problem where the table ID associated with secondary 5583193267Sjkimtables (SSDTs) was not being propagated into the namespace objects 5584126372Snjlcreated by those tables. This would only present a problem for 5585126372Snjltables that are unloaded at run-time, however. 5586117521Snjl 5587117521SnjlUpdated AcpiOsReadable and AcpiOsWritable to use the ACPI_SIZE 5588117521Snjltype as the length parameter (instead of UINT32). 5589117521Snjl 5590117521SnjlSolved a long-standing problem where an ALREADY_EXISTS error 5591117521Snjlappears on various systems. This problem could happen when there 5592117521Snjlare multiple PCI_Config operation regions under a single PCI root 5593117521Snjlbus. This doesn't happen very frequently, but there are some 5594117521Snjlsystems that do this in the ASL. 5595117521Snjl 5596117521SnjlFixed a reported problem where the internal DeleteNode function 5597117521Snjlwas incorrectly handling the case where a namespace node was the 5598117521Snjlfirst in the parent's child list, and had additional peers (not 5599117521Snjlthe only child, but first in the list of children.) 5600117521Snjl 5601193267SjkimCode and Data Size: Current core subsystem library sizes are shown 5602126372Snjlbelow.

Most of the 5641193267Sjkimsupport has been invisibly added behind big-endian versions of the 5642126372SnjlACPI_MOVE_* macros. 5643117521Snjl 5644117521SnjlFixed a problem in AcpiHwDisableGpeBlock() and 5645117521SnjlAcpiHwClearGpeBlock() where an incorrect offset was passed to the 5646117521Snjllow level hardware write routine. The offset parameter was 5647193267Sjkimactually eliminated from the low level read/write routines because 5648126372Snjlthey had become obsolete. 5649117521Snjl 5650117521SnjlFixed a problem where a handler object was deleted twice during 5651117521Snjlthe removal of a fixed event handler. 5652117521Snjl 5653117521Snjl 5654117521Snjl2) Linux: 5655117521Snjl 5656117521SnjlA fix for SMP systems with link devices was contributed by 5657167802Sjkim 5658117521SnjlCompaq's Dan Zink. 5659117521Snjl 5660117521Snjl(2.5) Return whether we handled the interrupt in our IRQ handler. 5661193267Sjkim(Linux ISRs no longer return void, so we can propagate the handler 5662126372Snjlreturn value from the ACPI CA core back to the OS.) 5663117521Snjl 5664117521Snjl 5665167802Sjkim 5666117521Snjl3) Documentation: 5667117521Snjl 5668117521SnjlThe ACPI CA Programmer Reference has been updated to reflect new 5669117521Snjlinterfaces and changes to existing interfaces. 5670117521Snjl 5671117521Snjl---------------------------------------- 5672117521Snjl28 March 2003.

New interfaces 5677117521Snjlare AcpiInstallGpeBlock and AcpiRemoveGpeBlock. The Event 5678117521Snjlinterfaces (enable, disable, clear, getstatus) have been split 5679117521Snjlinto separate interfaces for Fixed Events and General Purpose 5680117521SnjlEvents (GPEs) in order to support GPE Block Devices properly. 5681117521Snjl 5682117521SnjlFixed a problem where the error message "Failed to acquire 5683117521Snjlsemaphore" would appear during operations on the embedded 5684117521Snjlcontroller (EC). 5685117521Snjl 5686193267SjkimCode and Data Size: Current core subsystem library sizes are shown 5687126372Snjlbelow.

Summary of changes for version 20030228. 5705114237Snjl 5706114237Snjl 5707114237Snjl1) ACPI CA Core Subsystem: 5708114237Snjl 5709114237SnjlThe GPE handling and dispatch code has been completely overhauled 5710114237Snjlin preparation for support of GPE Block Devices (ID ACPI0006). 5711114237SnjlThis affects internal data structures and code only; there should 5712114237Snjlbe no differences visible externally. One new file has been 5713114237Snjladded, evgpeblk.c 5714114237Snjl 5715114237SnjlThe FADT fields GPE0_BLK_LEN and GPE1_BLK_LEN are now the only 5716114237Snjlfields that are used to determine the GPE block lengths. The 5717114237SnjlREGISTER_BIT_WIDTH field of the X_GPEx_BLK extended address 5718193267Sjkimstructures are ignored. This is per the ACPI specification but it 5719126372Snjlisn't very clear. The full 256 Block 0/1 GPEs are now supported 5720193267Sjkim(the use of REGISTER_BIT_WIDTH limited the number of GPEs to 128). 5721114237Snjl 5722114237SnjlIn the SCI interrupt handler, removed the read of the PM1_CONTROL 5723114237Snjlregister to look at the SCI_EN bit. On some machines, this read 5724114237Snjlcauses an SMI event and greatly slows down SCI events. (This may 5725114237Snjlin fact be the cause of slow battery status response on some 5726114237Snjlsystems.) 5727114237Snjl 5728193267SjkimFixed a problem where a store of a NULL string to a package object 5729126372Snjlcould cause the premature deletion of the object. This was seen 5730126372Snjlduring execution of the battery _BIF method on some systems, 5731126372Snjlresulting in no battery data being returned. 5732114237Snjl 5733114237SnjlAdded AcpiWalkResources interface to simplify parsing of resource 5734114237Snjllists. 5735114237Snjl 5736193267SjkimCode and Data Size: Current core subsystem library sizes are shown 5737126372Snjlbelow.

This is 5772114237Snjlcausing us to think that some systems support C2 when they really 5773114237Snjldon't. 5774114237Snjl 5775114237SnjlDo not count processor objects for non-present CPUs (Thanks to 5776114237SnjlDominik Brodowski) 5777114237Snjl 5778114237Snjl 5779114237Snjl3) iASL Compiler: 5780114237Snjl 5781114237SnjlFixed a problem where ASL include files could not be found and 5782114237Snjlopened. 5783114237Snjl 5784114237SnjlAdded support for the _PDC reserved name. 5785114237Snjl 5786114237Snjl 5787117521Snjl---------------------------------------- 5788114237Snjl22 January 2003. Summary of changes for version 20030122. 5789114237Snjl 5790114237Snjl 5791114237Snjl1) ACPI CA Core Subsystem: 5792114237Snjl 5793114237SnjlAdded a check for constructs of the form: Store (Local0, Local0) 5794114237Snjlwhere Local0 is not initialized. Apparently, some BIOS 5795193267Sjkimprogrammers believe that this is a NOOP. Since this store doesn't 5796126372Snjldo anything anyway, the new prototype behavior will ignore this 5797126372Snjlerror. This is a case where we can relax the strict checking in 5798126372Snjlthe interpreter in the name of compatibility. 5799114237Snjl 5800114237Snjl 5801114237Snjl2) Linux 5802114237Snjl 5803114237SnjlThe AcpiSrc Source Conversion Utility has been released with the 5804114237SnjlLinux package for the first time. This is the utility that is 5805193267Sjkimused to convert the ACPI CA base source code to the Linux version. 5806114237Snjl 5807114237Snjl(Both) Handle P_BLK lengths shorter than 6 more gracefully 5808114237Snjl 5809114237Snjl(Both) Move more headers to include/acpi, and delete an unused 5810114237Snjlheader. 5811114237Snjl 5812114237Snjl(Both) Move drivers/acpi/include directory to include/acpi 5813114237Snjl 5814114237Snjl(Both) Boot functions don't use cmdline, so don't pass it around 5815114237Snjl 5816114237Snjl(Both) Remove include of unused header (Adrian Bunk) 5817114237Snjl 5818114237Snjl(Both) acpiphp.h includes both linux/acpi.h and acpi_bus.h. Since 5819114237Snjlthe 5820193267Sjkimformer now also includes the latter, acpiphp.h only needs the one, 5821126372Snjlnow. 5822114237Snjl 5823193267Sjkim(2.5) Make it possible to select method of bios restoring after S3 5824114237Snjlresume.

Summary of changes for version 20030109. 5849114237Snjl 5850114237Snjl1) ACPI CA Core Subsystem: 5851114237Snjl 5852114237SnjlChanged the behavior of the internal Buffer-to-String conversion 5853193267Sjkimfunction. The current ACPI specification states that the contents 5854126372Snjlof the buffer are "converted to a string of two-character 5855126372Snjlhexadecimal numbers, each separated by a space". Unfortunately, 5856193267Sjkimthis definition is not backwards compatible with existing ACPI 1.0 5857193267Sjkimimplementations (although the behavior was not defined in the ACPI 5858126372Snjl1.0 specification). The new behavior simply copies data from the 5859193267Sjkimbuffer to the string until a null character is found or the end of 5860126372Snjlthe buffer is reached. The new String object is always null 5861126372Snjlterminated. This problem was seen during the generation of _BIF 5862126372Snjlbattery data where incorrect strings were returned for battery 5863126372Snjltype, etc. This will also require an errata to the ACPI 5864126372Snjlspecification. 5865114237Snjl 5866114237SnjlRenamed all instances of NATIVE_UINT and NATIVE_INT to 5867114237SnjlACPI_NATIVE_UINT and ACPI_NATIVE_INT, respectively. 5868114237Snjl 5869114237SnjlCopyright in all module headers (both Linux and non-Linux) has be 5870114237Snjlupdated to 2003. 5871114237Snjl 5872193267SjkimCode and Data Size: Current core subsystem library sizes are shown 5873126372Snjlbelow.

Summary of changes for version 20021205. 5973114237Snjl 5974114237Snjl1) ACPI CA Core Subsystem: 5975114237Snjl 5976114237SnjlFixed a problem where a store to a String or Buffer object could 5977114237Snjlcause corruption of the DSDT if the object type being stored was 5978114237Snjlthe same as the target object type and the length of the object 5979114237Snjlbeing stored was equal to or smaller than the original (existing) 5980114237Snjltarget object. This was seen to cause corruption of battery _BIF 5981114237Snjlbuffers if the _BIF method modified the buffer on the fly. 5982114237Snjl 5983193267SjkimFixed a problem where an internal error was generated if a control 5984126372Snjlmethod invocation was used in an OperationRegion, Buffer, or 5985126372SnjlPackage declaration. This was caused by the deferred parsing of 5986126372Snjlthe control method and thus the deferred creation of the internal 5987126372Snjlmethod object. The solution to this problem was to create the 5988126372Snjlinternal method object at the moment the method is encountered in 5989126372Snjlthe first pass - so that subsequent references to the method will 5990126372Snjlable to obtain the required parameter count and thus properly 5991126372Snjlparse the method invocation. This problem presented itself as an 5992126372SnjlAE_AML_INTERNAL during the pass 1 parse phase during table load. 5993114237Snjl 5994114237SnjlFixed a problem where the internal String object copy routine did 5995193267Sjkimnot always allocate sufficient memory for the target String object 5996126372Snjland caused memory corruption. This problem was seen to cause 5997126372Snjl"Allocation already present in list!" errors as memory allocation 5998126372Snjlbecame corrupted. 5999114237Snjl 6000193267SjkimImplemented a new function for the evaluation of namespace objects 6001126372Snjlthat allows the specification of the allowable return object 6002126372Snjltypes. This simplifies a lot of code that checks for a return 6003126372Snjlobject of one or more specific objects returned from the 6004114237Snjlevaluation (such as _STA, etc.) This may become and external 6005114237Snjlfunction if it would be useful to ACPI-related drivers. 6006114237Snjl 6007114237SnjlCompleted another round of prefixing #defines with "ACPI_" for 6008114237Snjlclarity. 6009114237Snjl 6010114237SnjlCompleted additional code restructuring to allow more modular 6011114237Snjllinking for iASL compiler and AcpiExec. Several files were split 6012114237Snjlcreating new files. New files: nsparse.c dsinit.c evgpe.c 6013114237Snjl 6014114237SnjlImplemented an abort mechanism to terminate an executing control 6015193267Sjkimmethod via the AML debugger. This feature is useful for debugging 6016126372Snjlcontrol methods that depend (wait) for specific hardware 6017126372Snjlresponses. 6018114237Snjl 6019193267SjkimCode and Data Size: Current core subsystem library sizes are shown 6020126372Snjlbelow.

If specified in the ASL, the optional "Resource 6040114237SnjlSource Index" and "Resource Source" fields were not inserted into 6041114237Snjlthe correct location within the AML resource descriptor, creating 6042114237Snjlan invalid descriptor. 6043114237Snjl 6044193267SjkimFixed a disassembler problem for "Interrupt" resource descriptors. 6045126372SnjlThe optional "Resource Source Index" and "Resource Source" fields 6046126372Snjlwere ignored. 6047114237Snjl 6048114237Snjl 6049114237Snjl---------------------------------------- 6050114237Snjl22 November 2002. Summary of changes for version 20021122. 6051114237Snjl 6052114237Snjl 6053114237Snjl1) ACPI CA Core Subsystem: 6054114237Snjl 6055114237SnjlFixed a reported problem where an object stored to a Method Local 6056114237Snjlor Arg was not copied to a new object during the store - the 6057114237Snjlobject pointer was simply copied to the Local/Arg. This caused 6058114237Snjlall subsequent operations on the Local/Arg to also affect the 6059114237Snjloriginal source of the store operation. 6060114237Snjl 6061114237SnjlFixed a problem where a store operation to a Method Local or Arg 6062114237Snjlwas not completed properly if the Local/Arg contained a reference 6063114237Snjl(from RefOf) to a named field. The general-purpose store-to- 6064114237Snjlnamespace-node code is now used so that this case is handled 6065114237Snjlautomatically. 6066114237Snjl 6067193267SjkimFixed a problem where the internal object copy routine would cause 6068126372Snjla protection fault if the object being copied was a Package and 6069126372Snjlcontained either 1) a NULL package element or 2) a nested sub- 6070114237Snjlpackage. 6071114237Snjl 6072114237SnjlFixed a problem with the GPE initialization that resulted from an 6073114237Snjlambiguity in the ACPI specification. One section of the 6074114237Snjlspecification states that both the address and length of the GPE 6075193267Sjkimblock must be zero if the block is not supported. Another section 6076126372Snjlimplies that only the address need be zero if the block is not 6077193267Sjkimsupported. The code has been changed so that both the address and 6078126372Snjlthe length must be non-zero to indicate a valid GPE block (i.e., 6079126372Snjlif either the address or the length is zero, the GPE block is 6080126372Snjlinvalid.) 6081114237Snjl 6082193267SjkimCode and Data Size: Current core subsystem library sizes are shown 6083126372Snjlbelow.

Exported an external EC read/write 6102114237Snjlinterface. By going through this, other drivers (most notably 6103114237Snjlsonypi) will be able to serialize access to the EC. 6104114237Snjl 6105114237Snjl 6106114237Snjl3) iASL Compiler/Disassembler 6107114237Snjl 6108114237SnjlImplemented support to optionally generate include files for both 6109114237SnjlASM and C (the -i switch). This simplifies BIOS development by 6110114237Snjlautomatically creating include files that contain external 6111114237Snjldeclarations for the symbols that are created within the 6112167802Sjkim 6113114237Snjl(optionally generated) ASM and C AML source files. 6114114237Snjl 6115114237Snjl 6116114237Snjl---------------------------------------- 6117107325Siwasaki15 November 2002. Summary of changes for version 20021115. 6118104470Siwasaki 6119107325Siwasaki1) ACPI CA Core Subsystem: 6120107325Siwasaki 6121114237SnjlFixed a memory leak problem where an error during resolution of 6122167802Sjkim 6123114237Snjlmethod arguments during a method invocation from another method 6124114237Snjlfailed to cleanup properly by deleting all successfully resolved 6125114237Snjlargument objects. 6126107325Siwasaki 6127114237SnjlFixed a problem where the target of the Index() operator was not 6128114237Snjlcorrectly constructed if the source object was a package. This 6129114237Snjlproblem has not been detected because the use of a target operand 6130114237Snjlwith Index() is very rare. 6131107325Siwasaki 6132107325SiwasakiFixed a problem with the Index() operator where an attempt was 6133107325Siwasakimade to delete the operand objects twice. 6134107325Siwasaki 6135107325SiwasakiFixed a problem where an attempt was made to delete an operand 6136114237Snjltwice during execution of the CondRefOf() operator if the target 6137114237Snjldid not exist. 6138107325Siwasaki 6139114237SnjlImplemented the first of perhaps several internal create object 6140193267Sjkimfunctions that create and initialize a specific object type. This 6141126372Snjlconsolidates duplicated code wherever the object is created, thus 6142126372Snjlshrinking the size of the subsystem. 6143107325Siwasaki 6144114237SnjlImplemented improved debug/error messages for errors that occur 6145114237Snjlduring nested method invocations. All executing method pathnames 6146193267Sjkimare displayed (with the error) as the call stack is unwound - thus 6147126372Snjlsimplifying debug. 6148107325Siwasaki 6149107325SiwasakiFixed a problem introduced in the 10/02 release that caused 6150114237Snjlpremature deletion of a buffer object if a buffer was used as an 6151114237SnjlASL operand where an integer operand is required (Thus causing an 6152193267Sjkimimplicit object conversion from Buffer to Integer.) The change in 6153126372Snjlthe 10/02 release was attempting to fix a memory leak (albeit 6154114237Snjlincorrectly.) 6155107325Siwasaki 6156193267SjkimCode and Data Size: Current core subsystem library sizes are shown 6157126372Snjlbelow.

It is important that the 6177114237Snjlexecution of ACPI control methods not be interrupted by signals. 6178114237SnjlMethods must run to completion, or the system may be left in an 6179114237Snjlunknown/unstable state. 6180107325Siwasaki 6181193267SjkimFixed a compilation error when CONFIG_SOFTWARE_SUSPEND is not set. 6182126372Snjl(Shawn Starr) 6183107325Siwasaki 6184107325Siwasaki 6185107325Siwasaki3) iASL Compiler/Disassembler 6186107325Siwasaki 6187107325Siwasaki 6188114237SnjlChanged the default location of output files. All output files 6189114237Snjlare now placed in the current directory by default instead of in 6190114237Snjlthe directory of the source file. This change may affect some 6191114237Snjlexisting makefiles, but it brings the behavior of the compiler in 6192114237Snjlline with other similar tools. The location of the output files 6193114237Snjlcan be overridden with the -p command line switch. 6194107325Siwasaki 6195114237Snjl 6196107325Siwasaki---------------------------------------- 6197107325Siwasaki11 November 2002.

This paves the way for the 6211107325Siwasakidevelopment of SMBus drivers in each host operating system. 6212107325Siwasaki 6213107325SiwasakiFixed a problem where the semaphore WAIT_FOREVER constant was 6214107325Siwasakidefined as 32 bits, but must be 16 bits according to the ACPI 6215107325Siwasakispecification. This had the side effect of causing ASL 6216107325SiwasakiMutex/Event timeouts even though the ASL code requested a wait 6217107325Siwasakiforever. Changed all internal references to the ACPI timeout 6218193267Sjkimparameter to 16 bits to prevent future problems. Changed the name 6219126372Snjlof WAIT_FOREVER to ACPI_WAIT_FOREVER. 6220107325Siwasaki 6221193267SjkimCode and Data Size: Current core subsystem library sizes are shown 6222126372Snjlbelow.

Summary of changes for version 20021101. 6252107325Siwasaki 6253107325Siwasaki 6254107325Siwasaki1) ACPI CA Core Subsystem: 6255107325Siwasaki 6256193267SjkimFixed a problem where platforms that have a GPE1 block but no GPE0 6257126372Snjlblock were not handled correctly. This resulted in a "GPE 6258114237Snjloverlap" error message. GPE0 is no longer required. 6259107325Siwasaki 6260107325SiwasakiRemoved code added in the previous release that inserted nodes 6261114237Snjlinto the namespace in alphabetical order. This caused some side- 6262114237Snjleffects on various machines. The root cause of the problem is 6263114237Snjlstill under investigation since in theory, the internal ordering 6264114237Snjlof the namespace nodes should not matter. 6265107325Siwasaki 6266107325Siwasaki 6267114237SnjlEnhanced error reporting for the case where a named object is not 6268114237Snjlfound during control method execution. The full ACPI namepath 6269114237Snjl(name reference) of the object that was not found is displayed in 6270114237Snjlthis case. 6271107325Siwasaki 6272193267SjkimNote: as a result of the overhaul of the namespace object types in 6273126372Snjlthe previous release, the namespace nodes for the predefined 6274114237Snjlscopes (_TZ, _PR, etc.) are now of the type ACPI_TYPE_LOCAL_SCOPE 6275114237Snjlinstead of ACPI_TYPE_ANY. This simplifies the namespace 6276114237Snjlmanagement code but may affect code that walks the namespace tree 6277114237Snjllooking for specific object types. 6278114237Snjl 6279193267SjkimCode and Data Size: Current core subsystem library sizes are shown 6280126372Snjlbelow. These are the code and data sizes for the acpica.lib 6281126372Snjlproduced by the Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0 compiler, and these 6282126372Snjlvalues do not include any ACPI driver or OSPM code. The debug 6283126372Snjlversion of the code includes the debug output trace mechanism and 6284193267Sjkimhas a much larger code and data size.

This was related to the scope type change described above. 6301107325Siwasaki 6302107325Siwasaki 6303107325Siwasaki3) iASL Compiler/Disassembler 6304107325Siwasaki 6305114237SnjlImplemented the -g option to get all of the required ACPI tables 6306114237Snjlfrom the registry and save them to files (Windows version of the 6307193267Sjkimcompiler only.) The required tables are the FADT, FACS, and DSDT. 6308107325Siwasaki 6309114237SnjlAdded ACPI table checksum validation during table disassembly in 6310114237Snjlorder to catch corrupted tables. 6311107325Siwasaki 6312107325Siwasaki 6313107325Siwasaki---------------------------------------- 6314107325Siwasaki22 October 2002. Summary of changes for version 20021022. 6315107325Siwasaki 6316107325Siwasaki1) ACPI CA Core Subsystem: 6317107325Siwasaki 6318114237SnjlImplemented a restriction on the Scope operator that the target 6319114237Snjlmust already exist in the namespace at the time the operator is 6320114237Snjlencountered (during table load or method execution). In other 6321114237Snjlwords, forward references are not allowed and Scope() cannot 6322114237Snjlcreate a new object. This changes the previous behavior where the 6323193267Sjkiminterpreter would create the name if not found. This new behavior 6324126372Snjlcorrectly enables the search-to-root algorithm during namespace 6325126372Snjllookup of the target name. Because of this upsearch, this fixes 6326126372Snjlthe known Compaq _SB_.OKEC problem and makes both the AML 6327126372Snjlinterpreter and iASL compiler compatible with other ACPI 6328114237Snjlimplementations. 6329107325Siwasaki 6330114237SnjlCompleted a major overhaul of the internal ACPI object types for 6331114237Snjlthe ACPI Namespace and the associated operand objects. Many of 6332114237Snjlthese types had become obsolete with the introduction of the two- 6333114237Snjlpass namespace load. This cleanup simplifies the code and makes 6334114237Snjlthe entire namespace load mechanism much clearer and easier to 6335114237Snjlunderstand. 6336107325Siwasaki 6337114237SnjlImproved debug output for tracking scope opening/closing to help 6338114237Snjldiagnose scoping issues. The old scope name as well as the new 6339114237Snjlscope name are displayed. Also improved error messages for 6340114237Snjlproblems with ASL Mutex objects and error messages for GPE 6341114237Snjlproblems. 6342107325Siwasaki 6343107325SiwasakiCleaned up the namespace dump code, removed obsolete code. 6344107325Siwasaki 6345114237SnjlAll string output (for all namespace/object dumps) now uses the 6346193267Sjkimcommon ACPI string output procedure which handles escapes properly 6347126372Snjland does not emit non-printable characters. 6348107325Siwasaki 6349107325SiwasakiFixed some issues with constants in the 64-bit version of the 6350107325Siwasakilocal C library (utclib.c) 6351107325Siwasaki 6352107325Siwasaki 6353107325Siwasaki2) Linux 6354107325Siwasaki 6355107325SiwasakiEC Driver: No longer attempts to acquire the Global Lock at 6356107325Siwasakiinterrupt level. 6357107325Siwasaki 6358107325Siwasaki 6359107325Siwasaki3) iASL Compiler/Disassembler 6360107325Siwasaki 6361193267SjkimImplemented ACPI 2.0B grammar change that disallows all Type 1 and 6362126372Snjl2 opcodes outside of a control method. This means that the 6363114237Snjl"executable" operators (versus the "namespace" operators) cannot 6364193267Sjkimbe used at the table level; they can only be used within a control 6365126372Snjlmethod. 6366107325Siwasaki 6367107325SiwasakiImplemented the restriction on the Scope() operator where the 6368107325Siwasakitarget must already exist in the namespace at the time the 6369114237Snjloperator is encountered (during ASL compilation). In other words, 6370193267Sjkimforward references are not allowed and Scope() cannot create a new 6371126372Snjlobject. This makes the iASL compiler compatible with other ACPI 6372193267Sjkimimplementations and makes the Scope() implementation adhere to the 6373126372SnjlACPI specification. 6374107325Siwasaki 6375193267SjkimFixed a problem where namepath optimization for the Alias operator 6376193267Sjkimwas optimizing the wrong path (of the two namepaths.) This caused 6377126372Snjla "Missing alias link" error message. 6378107325Siwasaki 6379114237SnjlFixed a problem where an "unknown reserved name" warning could be 6380114237Snjlincorrectly generated for names like "_SB" when the trailing 6381114237Snjlunderscore is not used in the original ASL. 6382107325Siwasaki 6383107325SiwasakiFixed a problem where the reserved name check did not handle 6384114237SnjlNamePaths with multiple NameSegs correctly. The first nameseg of 6385114237Snjlthe NamePath was examined instead of the last NameSeg. 6386107325Siwasaki 6387107325Siwasaki 6388107325Siwasaki---------------------------------------- 6389107325Siwasaki 6390104470Siwasaki02 October 2002. Summary of changes for this release. 6391104470Siwasaki 6392104470Siwasaki 6393104470Siwasaki1) ACPI CA Core Subsystem version 20021002: 6394104470Siwasaki 6395104470SiwasakiFixed a problem where a store/copy of a string to an existing 6396193267Sjkimstring did not always set the string length properly in the String 6397126372Snjlobject. 6398104470Siwasaki 6399104470SiwasakiFixed a reported problem with the ToString operator where the 6400193267Sjkimbehavior was identical to the ToHexString operator instead of just 6401126372Snjlsimply converting a raw buffer to a string data type. 6402104470Siwasaki 6403104470SiwasakiFixed a problem where CopyObject and the other "explicit" 6404193267Sjkimconversion operators were not updating the internal namespace node 6405126372Snjltype as part of the store operation. 6406104470Siwasaki 6407104470SiwasakiFixed a memory leak during implicit source operand conversion 6408193267Sjkimwhere the original object was not deleted if it was converted to a 6409126372Snjlnew object of a different type. 6410104470Siwasaki 6411193267SjkimEnhanced error messages for all problems associated with namespace 6412193267Sjkimlookups. Common procedure generates and prints the lookup name as 6413126372Snjlwell as the formatted status. 6414104470Siwasaki 6415104470SiwasakiCompleted implementation of a new design for the Alias support 6416193267Sjkimwithin the namespace. The existing design did not handle the case 6417193267Sjkimwhere a new object was assigned to one of the two names due to the 6418193267Sjkimuse of an explicit conversion operator, resulting in the two names 6419126372Snjlpointing to two different objects. The new design simply points 6420126372Snjlthe Alias name to the original name node - not to the object. 6421193267SjkimThis results in a level of indirection that must be handled in the 6422126372Snjlname resolution mechanism. 6423104470Siwasaki 6424193267SjkimCode and Data Size: Current core subsystem library sizes are shown 6425126372Snjlbelow. These are the code and data sizes for the acpica.lib 6426126372Snjlproduced by the Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0 compiler, and these 6427126372Snjlvalues do not include any ACPI driver or OSPM code. The debug 6428126372Snjlversion of the code includes the debug output trace mechanism and 6429193267Sjkimhas a larger code and data size. Note that these values will vary 6430126372Snjldepending on the efficiency of the compiler and the compiler 6431126372Snjloptions used during generation. 6432104470Siwasaki 6433104470Siwasaki Previous Release 6434104470Siwasaki Non-Debug Version: 69.6K Code, 8.3K Data, 77.9K Total 6435104470Siwasaki Debug Version: 150.0K Code, 61.7K Data, 211.7K Total 6436104470Siwasaki Current Release: 6437104470Siwasaki Non-Debug Version: 70.7K Code, 8.6K Data, 79.3K Total 6438104470Siwasaki Debug Version: 151.7K Code, 62.4K Data, 214.1K Total 6439104470Siwasaki 6440104470Siwasaki 6441104470Siwasaki2) Linux 6442104470Siwasaki 6443104470SiwasakiInitialize thermal driver's timer before it is used.

Summary of changes for this release. 6467104470Siwasaki 6468104470Siwasaki 6469104470Siwasaki1) ACPI CA Core Subsystem version 20020918: 6470104470Siwasaki 6471114237SnjlFixed a reported problem with reference chaining (via the Index() 6472193267Sjkimand RefOf() operators) in the ObjectType() and SizeOf() operators. 6473126372SnjlThe definition of these operators includes the dereferencing of 6474126372Snjlall chained references to return information on the base object. 6475104470Siwasaki 6476104470SiwasakiFixed a problem with stores to indexed package elements - the 6477104470Siwasakiexisting code would not complete the store if an "implicit 6478114237Snjlconversion" was not performed. In other words, if the existing 6479114237Snjlobject (package element) was to be replaced completely, the code 6480114237Snjldidn't handle this case. 6481104470Siwasaki 6482104470SiwasakiRelaxed typechecking on the ASL "Scope" operator to allow the 6483104470Siwasakitarget name to refer to an object of type Integer, String, or 6484104470SiwasakiBuffer, in addition to the scoping object types (Device, 6485104470Siwasakipredefined Scopes, Processor, PowerResource, and ThermalZone.) 6486114237SnjlThis allows existing AML code that has workarounds for a bug in 6487193267SjkimWindows to function properly. A warning is issued, however. This 6488126372Snjlaffects both the AML interpreter and the iASL compiler. Below is 6489126372Snjlan example of this type of ASL code: 6490104470Siwasaki 6491104470Siwasaki Name(DEB,0x00) 6492104470Siwasaki Scope(DEB) 6493104470Siwasaki { 6494104470Siwasaki 6495114237SnjlFixed some reported problems with 64-bit integer support in the 6496114237Snjllocal implementation of C library functions (clib.c) 6497104470Siwasaki 6498104470Siwasaki 6499104470Siwasaki2) Linux 6500104470Siwasaki 6501104470SiwasakiUse ACPI fix map region instead of IOAPIC region, since it is 6502104470Siwasakiundefined in non-SMP. 6503104470Siwasaki 6504114237SnjlEnsure that the SCI has the proper polarity and trigger, even on 6505114237Snjlsystems that do not have an interrupt override entry in the MADT. 6506104470Siwasaki 6507104470Siwasaki2.5 big driver reorganization (Pat Mochel) 6508104470Siwasaki 6509104470SiwasakiUse early table mapping code from acpitable.c (Andi Kleen) 6510104470Siwasaki 6511104470SiwasakiNew blacklist entries (Andi Kleen) 6512104470Siwasaki 6513114237SnjlBlacklist improvements. Split blacklist code out into a separate 6514114237Snjlfile. Move checking the blacklist to very early. Previously, we 6515114237Snjlwould use ACPI tables, and then halfway through init, check the 6516114237Snjlblacklist -- too late. Now, it's early enough to completely fall- 6517114237Snjlback to non-ACPI. 6518104470Siwasaki 6519104470Siwasaki 6520104470Siwasaki3) iASL Compiler/Disassembler version 20020918: 6521104470Siwasaki 6522114237SnjlFixed a problem where the typechecking code didn't know that an 6523114237Snjlalias could point to a method. In other words, aliases were not 6524114237Snjlbeing dereferenced during typechecking. 6525104470Siwasaki 6526104470Siwasaki 6527104470Siwasaki---------------------------------------- 6528104470Siwasaki29 August 2002. Summary of changes for this release. 6529104470Siwasaki 6530104470Siwasaki1) ACPI CA Core Subsystem Version 20020829: 6531104470Siwasaki 6532114237SnjlIf the target of a Scope() operator already exists, it must be an 6533114237Snjlobject type that actually opens a scope -- such as a Device, 6534193267SjkimMethod, Scope, etc. This is a fatal runtime error. Similar error 6535126372Snjlcheck has been added to the iASL compiler also. 6536104470Siwasaki 6537114237SnjlTightened up the namespace load to disallow multiple names in the 6538114237Snjlsame scope. This previously was allowed if both objects were of 6539114237Snjlthe same type. (i.e., a lookup was the same as entering a new 6540114237Snjlname). 6541104470Siwasaki 6542104470Siwasaki 6543104470Siwasaki2) Linux 6544104470Siwasaki 6545104470SiwasakiEnsure that the ACPI interrupt has the proper trigger and 6546104470Siwasakipolarity. 6547104470Siwasaki 6548104470Siwasakilocal_irq_disable is extraneous. (Matthew Wilcox) 6549104470Siwasaki 6550104470SiwasakiMake "acpi=off" actually do what it says, and not use the ACPI 6551104470Siwasakiinterpreter *or* the tables. 6552104470Siwasaki 6553193267SjkimAdded arch-neutral support for parsing SLIT and SRAT tables (Kochi 6554126372SnjlTakayoshi) 6555104470Siwasaki 6556104470Siwasaki 6557104470Siwasaki3) iASL Compiler/Disassembler Version 20020829: 6558104470Siwasaki 6559104470SiwasakiImplemented namepath optimization for name declarations. For 6560104470Siwasakiexample, a declaration like "Method (\_SB_.ABCD)" would get 6561104470Siwasakioptimized to "Method (ABCD)" if the declaration is within the 6562104470Siwasaki\_SB_ scope. This optimization is in addition to the named 6563104470Siwasakireference path optimization first released in the previous 6564114237Snjlversion. This would seem to complete all possible optimizations 6565114237Snjlfor namepaths within the ASL/AML. 6566104470Siwasaki 6567114237SnjlIf the target of a Scope() operator already exists, it must be an 6568114237Snjlobject type that actually opens a scope -- such as a Device, 6569114237SnjlMethod, Scope, etc. 6570104470Siwasaki 6571114237SnjlImplemented a check and warning for unreachable code in the same 6572114237Snjlblock below a Return() statement. 6573104470Siwasaki 6574114237SnjlFixed a problem where the listing file was not generated if the 6575114237Snjlcompiler aborted if the maximum error count was exceeded (200). 6576104470Siwasaki 6577193267SjkimFixed a problem where the typechecking of method return values was 6578126372Snjlbroken. This includes the check for a return value when the 6579114237Snjlmethod is invoked as a TermArg (a return value is expected.) 6580104470Siwasaki 6581104470SiwasakiFixed a reported problem where EOF conditions during a quoted 6582104470Siwasakistring or comment caused a fault. 6583104470Siwasaki 6584104470Siwasaki 6585104470Siwasaki---------------------------------------- 6586102550Siwasaki15 August 2002. Summary of changes for this release. 6587102550Siwasaki 6588102550Siwasaki1) ACPI CA Core Subsystem Version 20020815: 6589102550Siwasaki 6590114237SnjlFixed a reported problem where a Store to a method argument that 6591193267Sjkimcontains a reference did not perform the indirect store correctly. 6592126372SnjlThis problem was created during the conversion to the new 6593126372Snjlreference object model - the indirect store to a method argument 6594126372Snjlcode was not updated to reflect the new model. 6595102550Siwasaki 6596114237SnjlReworked the ACPI mode change code to better conform to ACPI 2.0, 6597193267Sjkimhandle corner cases, and improve code legibility (Kochi Takayoshi) 6598102550Siwasaki 6599102550SiwasakiFixed a problem with the pathname parsing for the carat (^) 6600114237Snjlprefix. The heavy use of the carat operator by the new namepath 6601193267Sjkimoptimization in the iASL compiler uncovered a problem with the AML 6602126372Snjlinterpreter handling of this prefix. In the case where one or 6603126372Snjlmore carats precede a single nameseg, the nameseg was treated as 6604126372Snjlstandalone and the search rule (to root) was inadvertently 6605114237Snjlapplied. This could cause both the iASL compiler and the 6606114237Snjlinterpreter to find the wrong object or to miss the error that 6607114237Snjlshould occur if the object does not exist at that exact pathname. 6608102550Siwasaki 6609114237SnjlFound and fixed the problem where the HP Pavilion DSDT would not 6610193267Sjkimload. This was a relatively minor tweak to the table loading code 6611126372Snjl(a problem caused by the unexpected encounter with a method 6612193267Sjkiminvocation not within a control method), but it does not solve the 6613126372Snjloverall issue of the execution of AML code at the table level. 6614126372SnjlThis investigation is still ongoing. 6615102550Siwasaki 6616193267SjkimCode and Data Size: Current core subsystem library sizes are shown 6617126372Snjlbelow. These are the code and data sizes for the acpica.lib 6618126372Snjlproduced by the Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0 compiler, and these 6619126372Snjlvalues do not include any ACPI driver or OSPM code. The debug 6620126372Snjlversion of the code includes the debug output trace mechanism and 6621193267Sjkimhas a larger code and data size. Note that these values will vary 6622126372Snjldepending on the efficiency of the compiler and the compiler 6623126372Snjloptions used during generation. 6624102550Siwasaki 6625102550Siwasaki Previous Release 6626104470Siwasaki Non-Debug Version: 69.1K Code, 8.2K Data, 77.3K Total 6627104470Siwasaki Debug Version: 149.4K Code, 61.6K Data, 211.0K Total 6628102550Siwasaki Current Release: 6629104470Siwasaki Non-Debug Version: 69.6K Code, 8.3K Data, 77.9K Total 6630104470Siwasaki Debug Version: 150.0K Code, 61.7K Data, 211.7K Total 6631102550Siwasaki 6632102550Siwasaki 6633102550Siwasaki2) Linux 6634102550Siwasaki 6635102550SiwasakiRemove redundant slab.h include (Brad Hards) 6636102550Siwasaki 6637102550SiwasakiFix several bugs in thermal.c (Herbert Nachtnebel) 6638102550Siwasaki 6639102550SiwasakiMake CONFIG_ACPI_BOOT work properly (Pavel Machek) 6640102550Siwasaki 6641104470SiwasakiChange acpi_system_suspend to use updated irq functions (Pavel 6642104470SiwasakiMachek) 6643102550Siwasaki 6644102550SiwasakiExport acpi_get_firmware_table (Matthew Wilcox) 6645102550Siwasaki 6646102550SiwasakiUse proper root proc entry for ACPI (Kochi Takayoshi) 6647102550Siwasaki 6648102550SiwasakiFix early-boot table parsing (Bjorn Helgaas) 6649102550Siwasaki 6650102550Siwasaki 6651102550Siwasaki3) iASL Compiler/Disassembler 6652102550Siwasaki 6653114237SnjlReworked the compiler options to make them more consistent and to 6654114237Snjluse two-letter options where appropriate. We were running out of 6655114237Snjlsensible letters. This may break some makefiles, so check the 6656114237Snjlcurrent options list by invoking the compiler with no parameters. 6657102550Siwasaki 6658102550SiwasakiCompleted the design and implementation of the ASL namepath 6659114237Snjloptimization option for the compiler. This option optimizes all 6660114237Snjlreferences to named objects to the shortest possible path. The 6661193267Sjkimfirst attempt tries to utilize a single nameseg (4 characters) and 6662126372Snjlthe "search-to-root" algorithm used by the interpreter. If that 6663126372Snjlcannot be used (because either the name is not in the search path 6664126372Snjlor there is a conflict with another object with the same name), 6665126372Snjlthe pathname is optimized using the carat prefix (usually a 6666126372Snjlshorter string than specifying the entire path from the root.) 6667102550Siwasaki 6668114237SnjlImplemented support to obtain the DSDT from the Windows registry 6669114237Snjl(when the disassembly option is specified with no input file). 6670114237SnjlAdded this code as the implementation for AcpiOsTableOverride in 6671114237Snjlthe Windows OSL. Migrated the 16-bit code (used in the AcpiDump 6672114237Snjlutility) to scan memory for the DSDT to the AcpiOsTableOverride 6673114237Snjlfunction in the DOS OSL to make the disassembler truly OS 6674114237Snjlindependent. 6675102550Siwasaki 6676114237SnjlImplemented a new option to disassemble and compile in one step. 6677114237SnjlWhen used without an input filename, this option will grab the 6678193267SjkimDSDT from the local machine, disassemble it, and compile it in one 6679126372Snjlstep. 6680102550Siwasaki 6681114237SnjlAdded a warning message for invalid escapes (a backslash followed 6682114237Snjlby any character other than the allowable escapes). This catches 6683114237Snjlthe quoted string error "\_SB_" (which should be "\\_SB_" ). 6684167802Sjkim 6685193267SjkimAlso, there are numerous instances in the ACPI specification where 6686126372Snjlthis error occurs. 6687102550Siwasaki 6688104470SiwasakiAdded a compiler option to disable all optimizations. This is 6689114237Snjlbasically the "compatibility mode" because by using this option, 6690114237Snjlthe AML code will come out exactly the same as other ASL 6691114237Snjlcompilers. 6692102550Siwasaki 6693114237SnjlAdded error messages for incorrectly ordered dependent resource 6694114237Snjlfunctions. This includes: missing EndDependentFn macro at end of 6695114237Snjldependent resource list, nested dependent function macros (both 6696114237Snjlstart and end), and missing StartDependentFn macro. These are 6697114237Snjlcommon errors that should be caught at compile time. 6698102550Siwasaki 6699114237SnjlImplemented _OSI support for the disassembler and compiler. _OSI 6700114237Snjlmust be included in the namespace for proper disassembly (because 6701114237Snjlthe disassembler must know the number of arguments.) 6702102550Siwasaki 6703104470SiwasakiAdded an "optimization" message type that is optional (off by 6704114237Snjldefault). This message is used for all optimizations - including 6705193267Sjkimconstant folding, integer optimization, and namepath optimization. 6706102550Siwasaki 6707102550Siwasaki---------------------------------------- 6708102550Siwasaki25 July 2002. Summary of changes for this release. 6709102550Siwasaki 6710102550Siwasaki 6711102550Siwasaki1) ACPI CA Core Subsystem Version 20020725: 6712102550Siwasaki 6713114237SnjlThe AML Disassembler has been enhanced to produce compilable ASL 6714193267Sjkimcode and has been integrated into the iASL compiler (see below) as 6715126372Snjlwell as the single-step disassembly for the AML debugger and the 6716126372Snjldisassembler for the AcpiDump utility. All ACPI 2.0A opcodes, 6717126372Snjlresource templates and macros are fully supported. The 6718114237Snjldisassembler has been tested on over 30 different AML files, 6719114237Snjlproducing identical AML when the resulting disassembled ASL file 6720114237Snjlis recompiled with the same ASL compiler. 6721102550Siwasaki 6722114237SnjlModified the Resource Manager to allow zero interrupts and zero 6723114237Snjldma channels during the GetCurrentResources call. This was 6724114237Snjlcausing problems on some platforms. 6725102550Siwasaki 6726114237SnjlAdded the AcpiOsRedirectOutput interface to the OSL to simplify 6727114237Snjloutput redirection for the AcpiOsPrintf and AcpiOsVprintf 6728114237Snjlinterfaces. 6729102550Siwasaki 6730193267SjkimCode and Data Size: Current core subsystem library sizes are shown 6731126372Snjlbelow. These are the code and data sizes for the acpica.lib 6732126372Snjlproduced by the Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0 compiler, and these 6733126372Snjlvalues do not include any ACPI driver or OSPM code. The debug 6734126372Snjlversion of the code includes the debug output trace mechanism and 6735193267Sjkimhas a larger code and data size. Note that these values will vary 6736126372Snjldepending on the efficiency of the compiler and the compiler 6737126372Snjloptions used during generation. 6738102550Siwasaki 6739102550Siwasaki Previous Release 6740104470Siwasaki Non-Debug Version: 68.7K Code, 7.4K Data, 76.1K Total 6741104470Siwasaki Debug Version: 142.9K Code, 58.7K Data, 201.6K Total 6742102550Siwasaki Current Release: 6743104470Siwasaki Non-Debug Version: 69.1K Code, 8.2K Data, 77.3K Total 6744104470Siwasaki Debug Version: 149.4K Code, 61.6K Data, 211.0K Total 6745102550Siwasaki 6746102550Siwasaki 6747102550Siwasaki2) Linux 6748102550Siwasaki 6749102550SiwasakiFixed a panic in the EC driver (Dominik Brodowski) 6750102550Siwasaki 6751114237SnjlImplemented checksum of the R/XSDT itself during Linux table scan 6752114237Snjl(Richard Schaal) 6753102550Siwasaki 6754102550Siwasaki 6755102550Siwasaki3) iASL compiler 6756102550Siwasaki 6757114237SnjlThe AML disassembler is integrated into the compiler. The "-d" 6758114237Snjloption invokes the disassembler to completely disassemble an 6759114237Snjlinput AML file, producing as output a text ASL file with the 6760114237Snjlextension ".dsl" (to avoid name collisions with existing .asl 6761114237Snjlsource files.) A future enhancement will allow the disassembler 6762114237Snjlto obtain the BIOS DSDT from the registry under Windows. 6763102550Siwasaki 6764102550SiwasakiFixed a problem with the VendorShort and VendorLong resource 6765102550Siwasakidescriptors where an invalid AML sequence was created. 6766102550Siwasaki 6767114237SnjlImplemented a fix for BufferData term in the ASL parser. It was 6768114237Snjlinadvertently defined twice, allowing invalid syntax to pass and 6769114237Snjlcausing reduction conflicts. 6770102550Siwasaki 6771104470SiwasakiFixed a problem where the Ones opcode could get converted to a 6772193267Sjkimvalue of zero if "Ones" was used where a byte, word or dword value 6773126372Snjlwas expected. The 64-bit value is now truncated to the correct 6774126372Snjlsize with the correct value. 6775102550Siwasaki 6776102550Siwasaki 6777167802Sjkim 6778102550Siwasaki---------------------------------------- 6779102550Siwasaki02 July 2002. Summary of changes for this release. 6780102550Siwasaki 6781102550Siwasaki 6782102550Siwasaki1) ACPI CA Core Subsystem Version 20020702: 6783102550Siwasaki 6784114237SnjlThe Table Manager code has been restructured to add several new 6785114237Snjlfeatures. Tables that are not required by the core subsystem 6786114237Snjl(other than the FADT, DSDT, FACS, PSDTs, etc.) are no longer 6787193267Sjkimvalidated in any way and are returned from AcpiGetFirmwareTable if 6788126372Snjlrequested. The AcpiOsTableOverride interface is now called for 6789126372Snjleach table that is loaded by the subsystem in order to allow the 6790126372Snjlhost to override any table it chooses. Previously, only the DSDT 6791126372Snjlcould be overridden. Added one new files, tbrsdt.c and 6792114237Snjltbgetall.c. 6793102550Siwasaki 6794193267SjkimFixed a problem with the conversion of internal package objects to 6795126372Snjlexternal objects (when a package is returned from a control 6796114237Snjlmethod.) The return buffer length was set to zero instead of the 6797114237Snjlproper length of the package object. 6798102550Siwasaki 6799104470SiwasakiFixed a reported problem with the use of the RefOf and DeRefOf 6800114237Snjloperators when passing reference arguments to control methods. A 6801114237Snjlnew type of Reference object is used internally for references 6802114237Snjlproduced by the RefOf operator. 6803102550Siwasaki 6804193267SjkimAdded additional error messages in the Resource Manager to explain 6805126372SnjlAE_BAD_DATA errors when they occur during resource parsing. 6806102550Siwasaki 6807104470SiwasakiSplit the AcpiEnableSubsystem into two primitives to enable a 6808193267Sjkimfiner granularity initialization sequence. These two calls should 6809126372Snjlbe called in this order: AcpiEnableSubsystem (flags), 6810114237SnjlAcpiInitializeObjects (flags). The flags parameter remains the 6811114237Snjlsame. 6812102550Siwasaki 6813102550Siwasaki 6814102550Siwasaki2) Linux 6815102550Siwasaki 6816114237SnjlUpdated the ACPI utilities module to understand the new style of 6817193267Sjkimfully resolved package objects that are now returned from the core 6818126372Snjlsubsystem. This eliminates errors of the form: 6819102550Siwasaki 6820102550Siwasaki ACPI: PCI Interrupt Routing Table [\_SB_.PCI0.PPB_._PRT] 6821102550Siwasaki acpi_utils-0430 [145] acpi_evaluate_reference: 6822102550Siwasaki Invalid element in package (not a device reference) 6823102550Siwasaki 6824102550SiwasakiThe method evaluation utility uses the new buffer allocation 6825102550Siwasakischeme instead of calling AcpiEvaluate Object twice. 6826102550Siwasaki 6827102550SiwasakiAdded support for ECDT. This allows the use of the Embedded 6828167802Sjkim 6829114237SnjlController before the namespace has been fully initialized, which 6830114237Snjlis necessary for ACPI 2.0 support, and for some laptops to 6831114237Snjlinitialize properly. (Laptops using ECDT are still rare, so only 6832114237Snjllimited testing was performed of the added functionality.) 6833102550Siwasaki 6834102550SiwasakiFixed memory leaks in the EC driver. 6835102550Siwasaki 6836102550SiwasakiEliminated a brittle code structure in acpi_bus_init(). 6837102550Siwasaki 6838114237SnjlEliminated the acpi_evaluate() helper function in utils.c. It is 6839114237Snjlno longer needed since acpi_evaluate_object can optionally 6840104470Siwasakiallocate memory for the return object. 6841102550Siwasaki 6842193267SjkimImplemented fix for keyboard hang when getting battery readings on 6843126372Snjlsome systems (Stephen White) 6844102550Siwasaki 6845102550SiwasakiPCI IRQ routing update (Dominik Brodowski) 6846102550Siwasaki 6847114237SnjlFix an ifdef to allow compilation on UP with LAPIC but no IOAPIC 6848114237Snjlsupport 6849102550Siwasaki 6850102550Siwasaki---------------------------------------- 6851102550Siwasaki11 June 2002. Summary of changes for this release. 6852102550Siwasaki 6853102550Siwasaki 6854102550Siwasaki1) ACPI CA Core Subsystem Version 20020611: 6855102550Siwasaki 6856104470SiwasakiFixed a reported problem where constants such as Zero and One 6857114237Snjlappearing within _PRT packages were not handled correctly within 6858114237Snjlthe resource manager code. Originally reported against the ASL 6859114237Snjlcompiler because the code generator now optimizes integers to 6860193267Sjkimtheir minimal AML representation (i.e. AML constants if possible.) 6861126372SnjlThe _PRT code now handles all AML constant opcodes correctly 6862126372Snjl(Zero, One, Ones, Revision). 6863102550Siwasaki 6864102550SiwasakiFixed a problem with the Concatenate operator in the AML 6865193267Sjkiminterpreter where a buffer result object was incorrectly marked as 6866126372Snjlnot fully evaluated, causing a run-time error of AE_AML_INTERNAL. 6867102550Siwasaki 6868104470SiwasakiAll package sub-objects are now fully resolved before they are 6869114237Snjlreturned from the external ACPI interfaces. This means that name 6870114237Snjlstrings are resolved to object handles, and constant operators 6871114237Snjl(Zero, One, Ones, Revision) are resolved to Integers. 6872102550Siwasaki 6873102550SiwasakiImplemented immediate resolution of the AML Constant opcodes 6874104470Siwasaki(Zero, One, Ones, Revision) to Integer objects upon detection 6875104470Siwasakiwithin the AML stream. This has simplified and reduced the 6876104470Siwasakigenerated code size of the subsystem by eliminating about 10 6877104470Siwasakiswitch statements for these constants (which previously were 6878193267Sjkimcontained in Reference objects.) The complicating issues are that 6879126372Snjlthe Zero opcode is used as a "placeholder" for unspecified 6880193267Sjkimoptional target operands and stores to constants are defined to be 6881126372Snjlno-ops. 6882102550Siwasaki 6883193267SjkimCode and Data Size: Current core subsystem library sizes are shown 6884126372Snjlbelow. These are the code and data sizes for the acpica.lib 6885114237Snjlproduced by the Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0 compiler, and these 6886114237Snjlvalues do not include any ACPI driver or OSPM code. The debug 6887114237Snjlversion of the code includes the debug output trace mechanism and 6888193267Sjkimhas a larger code and data size. Note that these values will vary 6889126372Snjldepending on the efficiency of the compiler and the compiler 6890114237Snjloptions used during generation. 6891102550Siwasaki 6892102550Siwasaki Previous Release 6893104470Siwasaki Non-Debug Version: 69.3K Code, 7.4K Data, 76.7K Total 6894104470Siwasaki Debug Version: 143.8K Code, 58.8K Data, 202.6K Total 6895102550Siwasaki Current Release: 6896104470Siwasaki Non-Debug Version: 68.7K Code, 7.4K Data, 76.1K Total 6897104470Siwasaki Debug Version: 142.9K Code, 58.7K Data, 201.6K Total 6898102550Siwasaki 6899102550Siwasaki 6900102550Siwasaki2) Linux 6901102550Siwasaki 6902167802Sjkim 6903104470SiwasakiAdded preliminary support for obtaining _TRA data for PCI root 6904104470Siwasakibridges (Bjorn Helgaas). 6905102550Siwasaki 6906102550Siwasaki 6907102550Siwasaki3) iASL Compiler Version X2046: 6908102550Siwasaki 6909193267SjkimFixed a problem where the "_DDN" reserved name was defined to be a 6910126372Snjlcontrol method with one argument. There are no arguments, and 6911114237Snjl_DDN does not have to be a control method. 6912102550Siwasaki 6913114237SnjlFixed a problem with the Linux version of the compiler where the 6914114237Snjlsource lines printed with error messages were the wrong lines. 6915114237SnjlThis turned out to be the "LF versus CR/LF" difference between 6916114237SnjlWindows and Unix. This appears to be the longstanding issue 6917114237Snjlconcerning listing output and error messages. 6918102550Siwasaki 6919114237SnjlFixed a problem with the Linux version of compiler where opcode 6920114237Snjlnames within error messages were wrong. This was caused by a 6921114237Snjlslight difference in the output of the Flex tool on Linux versus 6922114237SnjlWindows. 6923102550Siwasaki 6924193267SjkimFixed a problem with the Linux compiler where the hex output files 6925126372Snjlcontained some garbage data caused by an internal buffer overrun. 6926102550Siwasaki 6927102550Siwasaki 6928102550Siwasaki---------------------------------------- 6929102550Siwasaki17 May 2002. Summary of changes for this release. 6930102550Siwasaki 6931102550Siwasaki 6932102550Siwasaki1) ACPI CA Core Subsystem Version 20020517: 6933102550Siwasaki 6934102550SiwasakiImplemented a workaround to an BIOS bug discovered on the HP 6935104470SiwasakiOmniBook where the FADT revision number and the table size are 6936193267Sjkiminconsistent (ACPI 2.0 revision vs. ACPI 1.0 table size). The new 6937126372Snjlbehavior is to fallback to using only the ACPI 1.0 fields of the 6938126372SnjlFADT if the table is too small to be a ACPI 2.0 table as claimed 6939126372Snjlby the revision number. Although this is a BIOS bug, this is a 6940126372Snjlcase where the workaround is simple enough and with no side 6941126372Snjleffects, so it seemed prudent to add it. A warning message is 6942126372Snjlissued, however. 6943102550Siwasaki 6944193267SjkimImplemented minimum size checks for the fixed-length ACPI tables - 6945126372Snjl- the FADT and FACS, as well as consistency checks between the 6946114237Snjlrevision number and the table size. 6947102550Siwasaki 6948114237SnjlFixed a reported problem in the table override support where the 6949114237Snjlnew table pointer was incorrectly treated as a physical address 6950114237Snjlinstead of a logical address. 6951102550Siwasaki 6952114237SnjlEliminated the use of the AE_AML_ERROR exception and replaced it 6953114237Snjlwith more descriptive codes. 6954102550Siwasaki 6955193267SjkimFixed a problem where an exception would occur if an ASL Field was 6956126372Snjldefined with no named Field Units underneath it (used by some 6957114237Snjlindex fields). 6958102550Siwasaki 6959193267SjkimCode and Data Size: Current core subsystem library sizes are shown 6960126372Snjlbelow. These are the code and data sizes for the acpica.lib 6961126372Snjlproduced by the Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0 compiler, and these 6962126372Snjlvalues do not include any ACPI driver or OSPM code. The debug 6963126372Snjlversion of the code includes the debug output trace mechanism and 6964193267Sjkimhas a larger code and data size. Note that these values will vary 6965126372Snjldepending on the efficiency of the compiler and the compiler 6966126372Snjloptions used during generation. 6967102550Siwasaki 6968102550Siwasaki Previous Release 6969104470Siwasaki Non-Debug Version: 68.8K Code, 7.1K Data, 75.9K Total 6970104470Siwasaki Debug Version: 142.9K Code, 58.4K Data, 201.3K Total 6971102550Siwasaki Current Release: 6972104470Siwasaki Non-Debug Version: 69.3K Code, 7.4K Data, 76.7K Total 6973104470Siwasaki Debug Version: 143.8K Code, 58.8K Data, 202.6K Total 6974102550Siwasaki 6975102550Siwasaki 6976102550Siwasaki 6977102550Siwasaki2) Linux 6978102550Siwasaki 6979114237SnjlMuch work done on ACPI init (MADT and PCI IRQ routing support). 6980114237Snjl(Paul D. and Dominik Brodowski) 6981102550Siwasaki 6982102550SiwasakiFix PCI IRQ-related panic on boot (Sam Revitch) 6983102550Siwasaki 6984102550SiwasakiSet BM_ARB_DIS when entering a sleep state (Ducrot Bruno) 6985102550Siwasaki 6986102550SiwasakiFix "MHz" typo (Dominik Brodowski) 6987102550Siwasaki 6988102550SiwasakiFix RTC year 2000 issue (Dominik Brodowski) 6989102550Siwasaki 6990102550SiwasakiPreclude multiple button proc entries (Eric Brunet) 6991102550Siwasaki 6992102550SiwasakiMoved arch-specific code out of include/platform/aclinux.h 6993102550Siwasaki 6994102550Siwasaki3) iASL Compiler Version X2044: 6995102550Siwasaki 6996193267SjkimImplemented error checking for the string used in the EISAID macro 6997193267Sjkim(Usually used in the definition of the _HID object.) The code now 6998126372Snjlstrictly enforces the PnP format - exactly 7 characters, 3 6999126372Snjluppercase letters and 4 hex digits. 7000102550Siwasaki 7001102550SiwasakiIf a raw string is used in the definition of the _HID object 7002102550Siwasaki(instead of the EISAID macro), the string must contain all 7003114237Snjlalphanumeric characters (e.g., "*PNP0011" is not allowed because 7004114237Snjlof the asterisk.) 7005102550Siwasaki 7006114237SnjlImplemented checking for invalid use of ACPI reserved names for 7007114237Snjlmost of the name creation operators (Name, Device, Event, Mutex, 7008114237SnjlOperationRegion, PowerResource, Processor, and ThermalZone.) 7009114237SnjlPreviously, this check was only performed for control methods. 7010102550Siwasaki 7011114237SnjlImplemented an additional check on the Name operator to emit an 7012114237Snjlerror if a reserved name that must be implemented in ASL as a 7013114237Snjlcontrol method is used. We know that a reserved name must be a 7014114237Snjlmethod if it is defined with input arguments. 7015102550Siwasaki 7016193267SjkimThe warning emitted when a namespace object reference is not found 7017126372Snjlduring the cross reference phase has been changed into an error. 7018193267SjkimThe "External" directive should be used for names defined in other 7019126372Snjlmodules. 7020102550Siwasaki 7021102550Siwasaki 7022102550Siwasaki4) Tools and Utilities 7023102550Siwasaki 7024114237SnjlThe 16-bit tools (adump16 and aexec16) have been regenerated and 7025114237Snjltested. 7026102550Siwasaki 7027193267SjkimFixed a problem with the output of both acpidump and adump16 where 7028126372Snjlthe indentation of closing parentheses and brackets was not 7029167802Sjkim 7030114237Snjlaligned properly with the parent block. 7031102550Siwasaki 7032102550Siwasaki 7033102550Siwasaki---------------------------------------- 7034102550Siwasaki03 May 2002. Summary of changes for this release. 7035102550Siwasaki 7036102550Siwasaki 7037102550Siwasaki1) ACPI CA Core Subsystem Version 20020503: 7038102550Siwasaki 7039114237SnjlAdded support a new OSL interface that allows the host operating 7040167802Sjkim 7041114237Snjlsystem software to override the DSDT found in the firmware - 7042193267SjkimAcpiOsTableOverride. With this interface, the OSL can examine the 7043126372Snjlversion of the firmware DSDT and replace it with a different one 7044126372Snjlif desired. 7045102550Siwasaki 7046114237SnjlAdded new external interfaces for accessing ACPI registers from 7047114237Snjldevice drivers and other system software - AcpiGetRegister and 7048114237SnjlAcpiSetRegister. This was simply an externalization of the 7049114237Snjlexisting AcpiHwBitRegister interfaces. 7050102550Siwasaki 7051104470SiwasakiFixed a regression introduced in the previous build where the 7052104470SiwasakiASL/AML CreateField operator always returned an error, 7053102550Siwasaki"destination must be a NS Node". 7054102550Siwasaki 7055114237SnjlExtended the maximum time (before failure) to successfully enable 7056114237SnjlACPI mode to 3 seconds. 7057102550Siwasaki 7058193267SjkimCode and Data Size: Current core subsystem library sizes are shown 7059126372Snjlbelow. These are the code and data sizes for the acpica.lib 7060126372Snjlproduced by the Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0 compiler, and these 7061126372Snjlvalues do not include any ACPI driver or OSPM code. The debug 7062126372Snjlversion of the code includes the debug output trace mechanism and 7063193267Sjkimhas a larger code and data size. Note that these values will vary 7064126372Snjldepending on the efficiency of the compiler and the compiler 7065126372Snjloptions used during generation. 7066102550Siwasaki 7067102550Siwasaki Previous Release 7068104470Siwasaki Non-Debug Version: 68.5K Code, 7.0K Data, 75.5K Total 7069104470Siwasaki Debug Version: 142.4K Code, 58.3K Data, 200.7K Total 7070102550Siwasaki Current Release: 7071104470Siwasaki Non-Debug Version: 68.8K Code, 7.1K Data, 75.9K Total 7072104470Siwasaki Debug Version: 142.9K Code, 58.4K Data, 201.3K Total 7073102550Siwasaki 7074102550Siwasaki 7075102550Siwasaki2) Linux 7076102550Siwasaki 7077104470SiwasakiEnhanced ACPI init code for SMP. We are now fully MPS and $PIR- 7078193267Sjkimfree. While 3 out of 4 of our in-house systems work fine, the last 7079126372Snjlone still hangs when testing the LAPIC timer. 7080102550Siwasaki 7081114237SnjlRenamed many files in 2.5 kernel release to omit "acpi_" from the 7082114237Snjlname. 7083102550Siwasaki 7084102550SiwasakiAdded warning on boot for Presario 711FR. 7085102550Siwasaki 7086102550SiwasakiSleep improvements (Pavel Machek) 7087102550Siwasaki 7088102550SiwasakiACPI can now be built without CONFIG_PCI enabled. 7089102550Siwasaki 7090102550SiwasakiIA64: Fixed memory map functions (JI Lee) 7091102550Siwasaki 7092102550Siwasaki 7093102550Siwasaki3) iASL Compiler Version X2043: 7094102550Siwasaki 7095114237SnjlAdded support to allow the compiler to be integrated into the MS 7096114237SnjlVC++ development environment for one-button compilation of single 7097114237Snjlfiles or entire projects -- with error-to-source-line mapping. 7098102550Siwasaki 7099104470SiwasakiImplemented support for compile-time constant folding for the 7100104470SiwasakiType3, Type4, and Type5 opcodes first defined in the ACPI 2.0 7101104470Siwasakispecification. This allows the ASL writer to use expressions 7102104470Siwasakiinstead of Integer/Buffer/String constants in terms that must 7103114237Snjlevaluate to constants at compile time and will also simplify the 7104114237Snjlemitted AML in any such sub-expressions that can be folded 7105104470Siwasaki(evaluated at compile-time.) This increases the size of the 7106104470Siwasakicompiler significantly because a portion of the ACPI CA AML 7107104470Siwasakiinterpreter is included within the compiler in order to pre- 7108104470Siwasakievaluate constant expressions. 7109102550Siwasaki 7110114237Snjl 7111102550SiwasakiFixed a problem with the "Unicode" ASL macro that caused the 7112114237Snjlcompiler to fault. (This macro is used in conjunction with the 7113114237Snjl_STR reserved name.) 7114102550Siwasaki 7115114237SnjlImplemented an AML opcode optimization to use the Zero, One, and 7116114237SnjlOnes opcodes where possible to further reduce the size of integer 7117114237Snjlconstants and thus reduce the overall size of the generated AML 7118114237Snjlcode. 7119102550Siwasaki 7120193267SjkimImplemented error checking for new reserved terms for ACPI version 7121126372Snjl2.0A. 7122102550Siwasaki 7123104470SiwasakiImplemented the -qr option to display the current list of ACPI 7124104470Siwasakireserved names known to the compiler. 7125102550Siwasaki 7126104470SiwasakiImplemented the -qc option to display the current list of ASL 7127104470Siwasakioperators that are allowed within constant expressions and can 7128193267Sjkimtherefore be folded at compile time if the operands are constants. 7129102550Siwasaki 7130102550Siwasaki 7131102550Siwasaki4) Documentation 7132102550Siwasaki 7133193267SjkimUpdated the Programmer's Reference for new interfaces, data types, 7134126372Snjland memory allocation model options. 7135102550Siwasaki 7136114237SnjlUpdated the iASL Compiler User Reference to apply new format and 7137114237Snjladd information about new features and options. 7138102550Siwasaki 7139102550Siwasaki---------------------------------------- 7140102550Siwasaki19 April 2002. Summary of changes for this release. 7141102550Siwasaki 7142102550Siwasaki1) ACPI CA Core Subsystem Version 20020419: 7143102550Siwasaki 7144114237SnjlThe source code base for the Core Subsystem has been completely 7145114237Snjlcleaned with PC-lint (FlexLint) for both 32-bit and 64-bit 7146114237Snjlversions. The Lint option files used are included in the 7147114237Snjl/acpi/generate/lint directory. 7148102550Siwasaki 7149102550SiwasakiImplemented enhanced status/error checking across the entire 7150114237SnjlHardware manager subsystem. Any hardware errors (reported from 7151114237Snjlthe OSL) are now bubbled up and will abort a running control 7152114237Snjlmethod. 7153102550Siwasaki 7154167802Sjkim 7155114237SnjlFixed a problem where the per-ACPI-table integer width (32 or 64) 7156114237Snjlwas stored only with control method nodes, causing a fault when 7157114237Snjlnon-control method code was executed during table loading. The 7158114237Snjlsolution implemented uses a global variable to indicate table 7159114237Snjlwidth across the entire ACPI subsystem. Therefore, ACPI CA does 7160114237Snjlnot support mixed integer widths across different ACPI tables 7161114237Snjl(DSDT, SSDT). 7162102550Siwasaki 7163114237SnjlFixed a problem where NULL extended fields (X fields) in an ACPI 7164114237Snjl2.0 ACPI FADT caused the table load to fail. Although the 7165114237Snjlexisting ACPI specification is a bit fuzzy on this topic, the new 7166114237Snjlbehavior is to fall back on a ACPI 1.0 field if the corresponding 7167193267SjkimACPI 2.0 X field is zero (even though the table revision indicates 7168193267Sjkima full ACPI 2.0 table.) The ACPI specification will be updated to 7169126372Snjlclarify this issue. 7170102550Siwasaki 7171104470SiwasakiFixed a problem with the SystemMemory operation region handler 7172104470Siwasakiwhere memory was always accessed byte-wise even if the AML- 7173104470Siwasakispecified access width was larger than a byte. This caused 7174104470Siwasakiproblems on systems with memory-mapped I/O. Memory is now 7175193267Sjkimaccessed with the width specified. On systems that do not support 7176193267Sjkimnon-aligned transfers, a check is made to guarantee proper address 7177126372Snjlalignment before proceeding in order to avoid an AML-caused 7178126372Snjlalignment fault within the kernel. 7179102550Siwasaki 7180102550Siwasaki 7181114237SnjlFixed a problem with the ExtendedIrq resource where only one byte 7182114237Snjlof the 4-byte Irq field was extracted. 7183102550Siwasaki 7184114237SnjlFixed the AcpiExDigitsNeeded() procedure to support _UID. This 7185114237Snjlfunction was out of date and required a rewrite. 7186114237Snjl 7187193267SjkimCode and Data Size: Current core subsystem library sizes are shown 7188126372Snjlbelow. These are the code and data sizes for the acpica.lib 7189126372Snjlproduced by the Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0 compiler, and these 7190126372Snjlvalues do not include any ACPI driver or OSPM code. The debug 7191126372Snjlversion of the code includes the debug output trace mechanism and 7192193267Sjkimhas a larger code and data size. Note that these values will vary 7193126372Snjldepending on the efficiency of the compiler and the compiler 7194126372Snjloptions used during generation. 7195102550Siwasaki 7196102550Siwasaki Previous Release 7197104470Siwasaki Non-Debug Version: 66.6K Code, 6.5K Data, 73.1K Total 7198104470Siwasaki Debug Version: 139.8K Code, 57.4K Data, 197.2K Total 7199102550Siwasaki Current Release: 7200104470Siwasaki Non-Debug Version: 68.5K Code, 7.0K Data, 75.5K Total 7201104470Siwasaki Debug Version: 142.4K Code, 58.3K Data, 200.7K Total 7202102550Siwasaki 7203102550Siwasaki 7204102550Siwasaki2) Linux 7205102550Siwasaki 7206102550SiwasakiPCI IRQ routing fixes (Dominik Brodowski) 7207102550Siwasaki 7208102550Siwasaki 7209102550Siwasaki3) iASL Compiler Version X2042: 7210102550Siwasaki 7211104470SiwasakiImplemented an additional compile-time error check for a field 7212104470Siwasakiunit whose size + minimum access width would cause a run-time 7213114237Snjlaccess beyond the end-of-region. Previously, only the field size 7214114237Snjlitself was checked. 7215102550Siwasaki 7216104470SiwasakiThe Core subsystem and iASL compiler now share a common parse 7217104470Siwasakiobject in preparation for compile-time evaluation of the type 7218104470Siwasaki3/4/5 ASL operators. 7219102550Siwasaki 7220102550Siwasaki 7221102550Siwasaki---------------------------------------- 7222102550SiwasakiSummary of changes for this release: 03_29_02 7223102550Siwasaki 7224102550Siwasaki1) ACPI CA Core Subsystem Version 20020329: 7225102550Siwasaki 7226104470SiwasakiImplemented support for late evaluation of TermArg operands to 7227193267SjkimBuffer and Package objects. This allows complex expressions to be 7228126372Snjlused in the declarations of these object types. 7229102550Siwasaki 7230193267SjkimFixed an ACPI 1.0 compatibility issue when reading Fields. In ACPI 7231126372Snjl1.0, if the field was larger than 32 bits, it was returned as a 7232126372Snjlbuffer - otherwise it was returned as an integer. In ACPI 2.0, 7233193267Sjkimthe field is returned as a buffer only if the field is larger than 7234126372Snjl64 bits. The TableRevision is now considered when making this 7235126372Snjlconversion to avoid incompatibility with existing ASL code. 7236102550Siwasaki 7237104470SiwasakiImplemented logical addressing for AcpiOsGetRootPointer. This 7238114237Snjlallows an RSDP with either a logical or physical address. With 7239114237Snjlthis support, the host OS can now override all ACPI tables with 7240114237Snjlone logical RSDP. Includes implementation of "typed" pointer 7241114237Snjlsupport to allow a common data type for both physical and logical 7242114237Snjlpointers internally. This required a change to the 7243114237SnjlAcpiOsGetRootPointer interface. 7244102550Siwasaki 7245193267SjkimImplemented the use of ACPI 2.0 Generic Address Structures for all 7246193267SjkimGPE, Fixed Event, and PM Timer I/O. This allows the use of memory 7247126372Snjlmapped I/O for these ACPI features. 7248102550Siwasaki 7249102550SiwasakiInitialization now ignores not only non-required tables (All 7250114237Snjltables other than the FADT, FACS, DSDT, and SSDTs), but also does 7251114237Snjlnot validate the table headers of unrecognized tables. 7252102550Siwasaki 7253102550SiwasakiFixed a problem where a notify handler could only be 7254102550Siwasakiinstalled/removed on an object of type Device. All "notify" 7255167802Sjkim 7256102550Siwasakiobjects are now supported -- Devices, Processor, Power, and 7257102550SiwasakiThermal. 7258102550Siwasaki 7259114237SnjlRemoved most verbosity from the ACPI_DB_INFO debug level. Only 7260193267Sjkimcritical information is returned when this debug level is enabled. 7261102550Siwasaki 7262193267SjkimCode and Data Size: Current core subsystem library sizes are shown 7263126372Snjlbelow. These are the code and data sizes for the acpica.lib 7264126372Snjlproduced by the Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0 compiler, and these 7265126372Snjlvalues do not include any ACPI driver or OSPM code. The debug 7266126372Snjlversion of the code includes the debug output trace mechanism and 7267193267Sjkimhas a larger code and data size.

The 7380126372Snjlcode can be generated with either the VPL (variable parameter 7381114237Snjllist, or "C") convention, or the FPL (fixed parameter list, or 7382114237Snjl"Pascal") convention. The core subsystem is about 3.4% smaller 7383114237Snjlwhen generated with FPL. 7384102550Siwasaki 7385102550Siwasaki 7386102550Siwasaki2) Linux 7387102550Siwasaki 7388114237SnjlRe-add some /proc/acpi/event functionality that was lost during 7389114237Snjlthe rewrite 7390102550Siwasaki 7391193267SjkimResolved issue with /proc events for fixed-feature buttons showing 7392126372Snjlup as the system device. 7393102550Siwasaki 7394193267SjkimFixed checks on C2/C3 latencies to be inclusive of maximum values. 7395102550Siwasaki 7396114237SnjlReplaced AE_ERRORs in acpi_osl.c with more specific error codes. 7397102550Siwasaki 7398114237SnjlChanged ACPI PRT option from "pci=noacpi-routing" to "pci=noacpi" 7399102550Siwasaki 7400104470SiwasakiFixed limit interface & usage to fix bugs with passive cooling 7401104470Siwasakihysterisis. 7402102550Siwasaki 7403102550SiwasakiRestructured PRT support. 7404102550Siwasaki 7405102550Siwasaki 7406102550Siwasaki---------------------------------------- 7407102550SiwasakiSummary of changes for this label: 02_14_02 7408102550Siwasaki 7409102550Siwasaki 7410102550Siwasaki1) ACPI CA Core Subsystem: 7411102550Siwasaki 7412114237SnjlImplemented support in AcpiLoadTable to allow loading of FACS and 7413114237SnjlFADT tables. 7414102550Siwasaki 7415114237SnjlSuport for the now-obsolete interim 0.71 64-bit ACPI tables has 7416193267Sjkimbeen removed. All 64-bit platforms should be migrated to the ACPI 7417193267Sjkim2.0 tables. The actbl71.h header has been removed from the source 7418126372Snjltree. 7419102550Siwasaki 7420114237SnjlAll C macros defined within the subsystem have been prefixed with 7421114237Snjl"ACPI_" to avoid collision with other system include files. 7422102550Siwasaki 7423193267SjkimRemoved the return value for the two AcpiOsPrint interfaces, since 7424126372Snjlit is never used and causes lint warnings for ignoring the return 7425126372Snjlvalue. 7426102550Siwasaki 7427104470SiwasakiAdded error checking to all internal mutex acquire and release 7428104470Siwasakicalls. Although a failure from one of these interfaces is 7429104470Siwasakiprobably a fatal system error, these checks will cause the 7430114237Snjlimmediate abort of the currently executing method or interface. 7431102550Siwasaki 7432114237SnjlFixed a problem where the AcpiSetCurrentResources interface could 7433193267Sjkimfault. This was a side effect of the deployment of the new memory 7434126372Snjlallocation model. 7435102550Siwasaki 7436193267SjkimFixed a couple of problems with the Global Lock support introduced 7437193267Sjkimin the last major build. The "common" (1.0/2.0) internal FACS was 7438126372Snjlbeing overwritten with the FACS signature and clobbering the 7439126372SnjlGlobal Lock pointer. Also, the actual firmware FACS was being 7440126372Snjlunmapped after construction of the "common" FACS, preventing 7441126372Snjlaccess to the actual Global Lock field within it. The "common" 7442126372Snjlinternal FACS is no longer installed as an actual ACPI table; it 7443126372Snjlis used simply as a global. 7444102550Siwasaki 7445193267SjkimCode and Data Size: Current core subsystem library sizes are shown 7446126372Snjlbelow.

An error results if an invalid 7484126372Snjlvalue is used. (This will require an ACPI 2.0 specification 7485126372Snjlchange.) 7486102550Siwasaki 7487193267SjkimAML object labels that are output to the optional C and ASM source 7488126372Snjlare now prefixed with both the ACPI table signature and table ID 7489126372Snjlto help guarantee uniqueness within a large BIOS project. 7490102550Siwasaki 7491102550Siwasaki 7492102550Siwasaki---------------------------------------- 7493102550SiwasakiSummary of changes for this label: 02_01_02 7494102550Siwasaki 7495102550Siwasaki1) ACPI CA Core Subsystem: 7496102550Siwasaki 7497114237SnjlACPI 2.0 support is complete in the entire Core Subsystem and the 7498114237SnjlASL compiler. All new ACPI 2.0 operators are implemented and all 7499114237Snjlother changes for ACPI 2.0 support are complete. With 7500193267Sjkimsimultaneous code and data optimizations throughout the subsystem, 7501126372SnjlACPI 2.0 support has been implemented with almost no additional 7502126372Snjlcost in terms of code and data size. 7503102550Siwasaki 7504114237SnjlImplemented a new mechanism for allocation of return buffers. If 7505114237Snjlthe buffer length is set to ACPI_ALLOCATE_BUFFER, the buffer will 7506114237Snjlbe allocated on behalf of the caller. Consolidated all return 7507114237Snjlbuffer validation and allocation to a common procedure. Return 7508193267Sjkimbuffers will be allocated via the primary OSL allocation interface 7509193267Sjkimsince it appears that a separate pool is not needed by most users. 7510126372SnjlIf a separate pool is required for these buffers, the caller can 7511126372Snjlstill use the original mechanism and pre-allocate the buffer(s). 7512102550Siwasaki 7513102550SiwasakiImplemented support for string operands within the DerefOf 7514102550Siwasakioperator. 7515102550Siwasaki 7516114237SnjlRestructured the Hardware and Event managers to be table driven, 7517114237Snjlsimplifying the source code and reducing the amount of generated 7518114237Snjlcode. 7519102550Siwasaki 7520102550SiwasakiSplit the common read/write low-level ACPI register bitfield 7521104470Siwasakiprocedure into a separate read and write, simplifying the code 7522104470Siwasakiconsiderably. 7523102550Siwasaki 7524114237SnjlObsoleted the AcpiOsCallocate OSL interface. This interface was 7525114237Snjlused only a handful of times and didn't have enough critical mass 7526193267Sjkimfor a separate interface. Replaced with a common calloc procedure 7527126372Snjlin the core. 7528102550Siwasaki 7529104470SiwasakiFixed a reported problem with the GPE number mapping mechanism 7530104470Siwasakithat allows GPE1 numbers to be non-contiguous with GPE0. 7531114237SnjlReorganized the GPE information and shrunk a large array that was 7532114237Snjloriginally large enough to hold info for all possible GPEs (256) 7533114237Snjlto simply large enough to hold all GPEs up to the largest GPE 7534114237Snjlnumber on the machine. 7535102550Siwasaki 7536114237SnjlFixed a reported problem with resource structure alignment on 64- 7537114237Snjlbit platforms. 7538102550Siwasaki 7539102550SiwasakiChanged the AcpiEnableEvent and AcpiDisableEvent external 7540102550Siwasakiinterfaces to not require any flags for the common case of 7541102550Siwasakienabling/disabling a GPE. 7542102550Siwasaki 7543104470SiwasakiImplemented support to allow a "Notify" on a Processor object. 7544102550Siwasaki 7545114237SnjlMost TBDs in comments within the source code have been resolved 7546114237Snjland eliminated. 7547102550Siwasaki 7548167802Sjkim 7549102550SiwasakiFixed a problem in the interpreter where a standalone parent 7550102550Siwasakiprefix (^) was not handled correctly in the interpreter and 7551102550Siwasakidebugger. 7552102550Siwasaki 7553102550SiwasakiRemoved obsolete and unnecessary GPE save/restore code. 7554102550Siwasaki 7555193267SjkimImplemented Field support in the ASL Load operator. This allows a 7556126372Snjltable to be loaded from a named field, in addition to loading a 7557114237Snjltable directly from an Operation Region. 7558102550Siwasaki 7559193267SjkimImplemented timeout and handle support in the external Global Lock 7560126372Snjlinterfaces. 7561102550Siwasaki 7562114237SnjlFixed a problem in the AcpiDump utility where pathnames were no 7563193267Sjkimlonger being generated correctly during the dump of named objects. 7564102550Siwasaki 7565102550SiwasakiModified the AML debugger to give a full display of if/while 7566102550Siwasakipredicates instead of just one AML opcode at a time. (The 7567193267Sjkimpredicate can have several nested ASL statements.) The old method 7568126372Snjlwas confusing during single stepping. 7569102550Siwasaki 7570193267SjkimCode and Data Size: Current core subsystem library sizes are shown 7571126372Snjlbelow.

The original ASL source code 7610193267Sjkimis interleaved as C comments. 2) Output the AML in ASM source code 7611126372Snjlwith labels and interleaved ASL source. 3) Output the AML in 7612126372Snjlraw hex table form, in either C or ASM. 7613102550Siwasaki 7614102550SiwasakiImplemented support for optional string parameters to the 7615102550SiwasakiLoadTable operator. 7616102550Siwasaki 7617104470SiwasakiCompleted support for embedded escape sequences within string 7618114237Snjlliterals. The compiler now supports all single character escapes 7619114237Snjlas well as the Octal and Hex escapes. Note: the insertion of a 7620114237Snjlnull byte into a string literal (via the hex/octal escape) causes 7621114237Snjlthe string to be immediately terminated. A warning is issued. 7622102550Siwasaki 7623104470SiwasakiFixed a problem where incorrect AML was generated for the case 7624104470Siwasakiwhere an ASL namepath consists of a single parent prefix ( 7625102550Siwasaki 7626102550Siwasaki) with no trailing name segments. 7627102550Siwasaki 7628102550SiwasakiThe compiler has been successfully generated with a 64-bit C 7629102550Siwasakicompiler. 7630102550Siwasaki 7631102550Siwasaki 7632102550Siwasaki 7633102550Siwasaki 7634102550Siwasaki---------------------------------------- 7635102550SiwasakiSummary of changes for this label: 12_18_01 7636102550Siwasaki 7637102550Siwasaki1) Linux 7638102550Siwasaki 7639114237SnjlEnhanced blacklist with reason and severity fields. Any table's 7640114237Snjlsignature may now be used to identify a blacklisted system. 7641102550Siwasaki 7642114237SnjlCall _PIC control method to inform the firmware which interrupt 7643114237Snjlmodel the OS is using. Turn on any disabled link devices. 7644102550Siwasaki 7645102550SiwasakiCleaned up busmgr /proc error handling (Andreas Dilger) 7646102550Siwasaki 7647102550Siwasaki 2) ACPI CA Core Subsystem: 7648102550Siwasaki 7649193267SjkimImplemented ACPI 2.0 semantics for the "Break" operator (Exit from 7650126372Snjlwhile loop) 7651102550Siwasaki 7652102550SiwasakiCompleted implementation of the ACPI 2.0 "Continue", 7653102550Siwasaki"ConcatenateResTemplate", "DataTableRegion", and "LoadTable" 7654193267Sjkimoperators. All new ACPI 2.0 operators are now implemented in both 7655193267Sjkimthe ASL compiler and the AML interpreter. The only remaining ACPI 7656126372Snjl2.0 task is support for the String data type in the DerefOf 7657193267Sjkimoperator. Fixed a problem with AcquireMutex where the status code 7658126372Snjlwas lost if the caller had to actually wait for the mutex. 7659102550Siwasaki 7660104470SiwasakiIncreased the maximum ASL Field size from 64K bits to 4G bits. 7661102550Siwasaki 7662193267SjkimCompleted implementation of the external Global Lock interfaces -- 7663126372SnjlAcpiAcquireGlobalLock and AcpiReleaseGlobalLock. The Timeout and 7664126372SnjlHandler parameters were added. 7665102550Siwasaki 7666102550SiwasakiCompleted another pass at removing warnings and issues when 7667114237Snjlcompiling with 64-bit compilers. The code now compiles cleanly 7668114237Snjlwith the Intel 64-bit C/C++ compiler. Most notably, the pointer 7669114237Snjladd and subtract (diff) macros have changed considerably. 7670102550Siwasaki 7671167802Sjkim 7672114237SnjlCreated and deployed a new ACPI_SIZE type that is 64-bits wide on 7673114237Snjl64-bit platforms, 32-bits on all others. This type is used 7674193267Sjkimwherever memory allocation and/or the C sizeof() operator is used, 7675126372Snjland affects the OSL memory allocation interfaces AcpiOsAllocate 7676126372Snjland AcpiOsCallocate. 7677102550Siwasaki 7678102550SiwasakiImplemented sticky user breakpoints in the AML debugger. 7679102550Siwasaki 7680193267SjkimCode and Data Size: Current core subsystem library sizes are shown 7681126372Snjlbelow. These are the code and data sizes for the acpica.lib 7682114237Snjlproduced by the Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0 compiler, and these 7683114237Snjlvalues do not include any ACPI driver or OSPM code. The debug 7684114237Snjlversion of the code includes the debug output trace mechanism and 7685114237Snjlhas a larger code and data size. Note that these values will vary 7686114237Snjldepending on the efficiency of the compiler and the compiler 7687114237Snjloptions used during generation. 7688102550Siwasaki 7689102550Siwasaki Previous Release (12_05_01) 7690114237Snjl Non-Debug Version: 64.7K Code, 5.3K Data, 70.0K Total 7691114237Snjl Debug Version: 136.2K Code, 55.6K Data, 191.8K Total 7692102550Siwasaki Current Release: 7693114237Snjl Non-Debug Version: 66.1K Code, 5.5K Data, 71.6K Total 7694114237Snjl Debug Version: 138.3K Code, 55.9K Data, 194.2K Total 7695102550Siwasaki 7696102550Siwasaki 3) ASL Compiler, version X2034: 7697102550Siwasaki 7698114237SnjlNow checks for (and generates an error if detected) the use of a 7699114237SnjlBreak or Continue statement without an enclosing While statement. 7700102550Siwasaki 7701167802Sjkim 7702102550SiwasakiSuccessfully generated the compiler with the Intel 64-bit C 7703102550Siwasakicompiler. 7704102550Siwasaki 7705102550Siwasaki ---------------------------------------- 7706102550SiwasakiSummary of changes for this label: 12_05_01 7707102550Siwasaki 7708102550Siwasaki 1) ACPI CA Core Subsystem: 7709102550Siwasaki 7710102550SiwasakiThe ACPI 2.0 CopyObject operator is fully implemented. This 7711104470Siwasakioperator creates a new copy of an object (and is also used to 7712193267Sjkimbypass the "implicit conversion" mechanism of the Store operator.) 7713102550Siwasaki 7714102550SiwasakiThe ACPI 2.0 semantics for the SizeOf operator are fully 7715102550Siwasakiimplemented. The change is that performing a SizeOf on a 7716114237Snjlreference object causes an automatic dereference of the object to 7717114237Snjltha actual value before the size is evaluated. This behavior was 7718114237Snjlundefined in ACPI 1.0. 7719102550Siwasaki 7720114237SnjlThe ACPI 2.0 semantics for the Extended IRQ resource descriptor 7721114237Snjlhave been implemented. The interrupt polarity and mode are now 7722114237Snjlindependently set. 7723102550Siwasaki 7724114237SnjlFixed a problem where ASL Constants (Zero, One, Ones, Revision) 7725114237Snjlappearing in Package objects were not properly converted to 7726114237Snjlintegers when the internal Package was converted to an external 7727114237Snjlobject (via the AcpiEvaluateObject interface.) 7728102550Siwasaki 7729114237SnjlFixed a problem with the namespace object deletion mechanism for 7730114237Snjlobjects created by control methods. There were two parts to this 7731193267Sjkimproblem: 1) Objects created during the initialization phase method 7732193267Sjkimparse were not being deleted, and 2) The object owner ID mechanism 7733126372Snjlto track objects was broken. 7734102550Siwasaki 7735114237SnjlFixed a problem where the use of the ASL Scope operator within a 7736114237Snjlcontrol method would result in an invalid opcode exception. 7737102550Siwasaki 7738114237SnjlFixed a problem introduced in the previous label where the buffer 7739114237Snjllength required for the _PRT structure was not being returned 7740114237Snjlcorrectly. 7741102550Siwasaki 7742193267SjkimCode and Data Size: Current core subsystem library sizes are shown 7743126372Snjlbelow. These are the code and data sizes for the acpica.lib 7744114237Snjlproduced by the Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0 compiler, and these 7745114237Snjlvalues do not include any ACPI driver or OSPM code. The debug 7746114237Snjlversion of the code includes the debug output trace mechanism and 7747193267Sjkimhas a larger code and data size. Note that these values will vary 7748126372Snjldepending on the efficiency of the compiler and the compiler 7749114237Snjloptions used during generation. 7750102550Siwasaki 7751102550Siwasaki Previous Release (11_20_01) 7752114237Snjl Non-Debug Version: 64.1K Code, 5.3K Data, 69.4K Total 7753114237Snjl Debug Version: 135.1K Code, 55.4K Data, 190.5K Total 7754102550Siwasaki 7755102550Siwasaki Current Release: 7756114237Snjl Non-Debug Version: 64.7K Code, 5.3K Data, 70.0K Total 7757114237Snjl Debug Version: 136.2K Code, 55.6K Data, 191.8K Total 7758102550Siwasaki 7759102550Siwasaki 2) Linux: 7760102550Siwasaki 7761102550SiwasakiUpdated all files to apply cleanly against 2.4.16. 7762102550Siwasaki 7763104470SiwasakiAdded basic PCI Interrupt Routing Table (PRT) support for IA32 7764114237Snjl(acpi_pci.c), and unified the PRT code for IA32 and IA64. This 7765114237Snjlversion supports both static and dyanmic PRT entries, but dynamic 7766114237Snjlentries are treated as if they were static (not yet 7767114237Snjlreconfigurable). Architecture- specific code to use this data is 7768114237Snjlabsent on IA32 but should be available shortly. 7769102550Siwasaki 7770114237SnjlChanged the initialization sequence to start the ACPI interpreter 7771114237Snjl(acpi_init) prior to initialization of the PCI driver (pci_init) 7772114237Snjlin init/main.c. This ordering is required to support PRT and 7773114237Snjlfacilitate other (future) enhancement. A side effect is that the 7774193267SjkimACPI bus driver and certain device drivers can no longer be loaded 7775126372Snjlas modules. 7776102550Siwasaki 7777104470SiwasakiModified the 'make menuconfig' options to allow PCI Interrupt 7778104470SiwasakiRouting support to be included without the ACPI Bus and other 7779104470Siwasakidevice drivers. 7780102550Siwasaki 7781102550Siwasaki 3) ASL Compiler, version X2033: 7782102550Siwasaki 7783102550SiwasakiFixed some issues with the use of the new CopyObject and 7784102550SiwasakiDataTableRegion operators. Both are fully functional. 7785102550Siwasaki 7786102550Siwasaki ---------------------------------------- 7787102550SiwasakiSummary of changes for this label: 11_20_01 7788102550Siwasaki 7789102550Siwasaki 20 November 2001. Summary of changes for this release. 7790102550Siwasaki 7791102550Siwasaki 1) ACPI CA Core Subsystem: 7792102550Siwasaki 7793104470SiwasakiUpdated Index support to match ACPI 2.0 semantics. Storing a 7794193267SjkimInteger, String, or Buffer to an Index of a Buffer will store only 7795126372Snjlthe least-significant byte of the source to the Indexed buffer 7796126372Snjlbyte. Multiple writes are not performed. 7797102550Siwasaki 7798104470SiwasakiFixed a problem where the access type used in an AccessAs ASL 7799104470Siwasakioperator was not recorded correctly into the field object. 7800102550Siwasaki 7801102550SiwasakiFixed a problem where ASL Event objects were created in a 7802114237Snjlsignalled state. Events are now created in an unsignalled state. 7803102550Siwasaki 7804114237SnjlThe internal object cache is now purged after table loading and 7805114237Snjlinitialization to reduce the use of dynamic kernel memory -- on 7806114237Snjlthe assumption that object use is greatest during the parse phase 7807193267Sjkimof the entire table (versus the run-time use of individual control 7808126372Snjlmethods.) 7809102550Siwasaki 7810102550SiwasakiACPI 2.0 variable-length packages are now fully operational. 7811102550Siwasaki 7812193267SjkimCode and Data Size: Code and Data optimizations have permitted new 7813126372Snjlfeature development with an actual reduction in the library size. 7814126372SnjlCurrent core subsystem library sizes are shown below. These are 7815126372Snjlthe code and data sizes for the acpica.lib produced by the 7816193267SjkimMicrosoft Visual C++ 6.0 compiler, and these values do not include 7817126372Snjlany ACPI driver or OSPM code. The debug version of the code 7818126372Snjlincludes the debug output trace mechanism and has a larger code 7819126372Snjland data size. Note that these values will vary depending on the 7820126372Snjlefficiency of the compiler and the compiler options used during 7821126372Snjlgeneration. 7822102550Siwasaki 7823102550Siwasaki Previous Release (11_09_01): 7824114237Snjl Non-Debug Version: 63.7K Code, 5.2K Data, 68.9K Total 7825114237Snjl Debug Version: 134.5K Code, 55.4K Data, 189.9K Total 7826102550Siwasaki 7827102550Siwasaki Current Release: 7828114237Snjl Non-Debug Version: 64.1K Code, 5.3K Data, 69.4K Total 7829114237Snjl Debug Version: 135.1K Code, 55.4K Data, 190.5K Total 7830102550Siwasaki 7831102550Siwasaki 2) Linux: 7832102550Siwasaki 7833114237SnjlEnhanced the ACPI boot-time initialization code to allow the use 7834114237Snjlof Local APIC tables for processor enumeration on IA-32, and to 7835114237Snjlpave the way for a fully MPS-free boot (on SMP systems) in the 7836114237Snjlnear future. This functionality replaces 7837114237Snjlarch/i386/kernel/acpitables.c, which was introduced in an earlier 7838114237Snjl2.4.15-preX release. To enable this feature you must add 7839114237Snjl"acpi_boot=on" to the kernel command line -- see the help entry 7840193267Sjkimfor CONFIG_ACPI_BOOT for more information. An IA-64 release is in 7841126372Snjlthe works... 7842102550Siwasaki 7843114237SnjlRestructured the configuration options to allow boot-time table 7844114237Snjlparsing support without inclusion of the ACPI Interpreter (and 7845114237Snjlother) code. 7846102550Siwasaki 7847193267SjkimNOTE: This release does not include fixes for the reported events, 7848126372Snjlpower-down, and thermal passive cooling issues (coming soon). 7849102550Siwasaki 7850102550Siwasaki 3) ASL Compiler: 7851102550Siwasaki 7852114237SnjlAdded additional typechecking for Fields within restricted access 7853114237SnjlOperation Regions. All fields within EC and CMOS regions must be 7854114237Snjldeclared with ByteAcc. All fields withing SMBus regions must be 7855114237Snjldeclared with the BufferAcc access type. 7856102550Siwasaki 7857114237SnjlFixed a problem where the listing file output of control methods 7858114237Snjlno longer interleaved the actual AML code with the ASL source 7859114237Snjlcode. 7860102550Siwasaki 7861102550Siwasaki 7862102550Siwasaki 7863167802Sjkim 7864102550Siwasaki---------------------------------------- 7865102550SiwasakiSummary of changes for this label: 11_09_01 7866102550Siwasaki 7867102550Siwasaki1) ACPI CA Core Subsystem: 7868102550Siwasaki 7869114237SnjlImplemented ACPI 2.0-defined support for writes to fields with a 7870193267SjkimBuffer, String, or Integer source operand that is smaller than the 7871126372Snjltarget field. In these cases, the source operand is zero-extended 7872126372Snjlto fill the target field. 7873102550Siwasaki 7874104470SiwasakiFixed a problem where a Field starting bit offset (within the 7875104470Siwasakiparent operation region) was calculated incorrectly if the 7876167802Sjkim 7877104470Siwasakialignment of the field differed from the access width. This 7878114237Snjlaffected CreateWordField, CreateDwordField, CreateQwordField, and 7879114237Snjlpossibly other fields that use the "AccessAny" keyword. 7880102550Siwasaki 7881114237SnjlFixed a problem introduced in the 11_02_01 release where indirect 7882114237Snjlstores through method arguments did not operate correctly. 7883102550Siwasaki 7884102550Siwasaki2) Linux: 7885102550Siwasaki 7886102550SiwasakiImplemented boot-time ACPI table parsing support 7887114237Snjl(CONFIG_ACPI_BOOT) for IA32 and IA64 UP/SMP systems. This code 7888114237Snjlfacilitates the use of ACPI tables (e.g. MADT, SRAT) rather than 7889114237Snjllegacy BIOS interfaces (e.g. MPS) for the configuration of system 7890193267Sjkimprocessors, memory, and interrupts during setup_arch(). Note that 7891126372Snjlthis patch does not include the required architecture-specific 7892126372Snjlchanges required to apply this information -- subsequent patches 7893126372Snjlwill be posted for both IA32 and IA64 to achieve this. 7894102550Siwasaki 7895114237SnjlAdded low-level sleep support for IA32 platforms, courtesy of Pat 7896114237SnjlMochel. This allows IA32 systems to transition to/from various 7897114237Snjlsleeping states (e.g. S1, S3), although the lack of a centralized 7898114237Snjldriver model and power-manageable drivers will prevent its 7899114237Snjl(successful) use on most systems. 7900102550Siwasaki 7901114237SnjlRevamped the ACPI 'menuconfig' layout: created new "ACPI Support" 7902193267Sjkimsubmenu, unified IA32 and IA64 options, added new "Boot using ACPI 7903126372Snjltables" option, etc. 7904102550Siwasaki 7905114237SnjlIncreased the default timeout for the EC driver from 1ms to 10ms 7906114237Snjl(1000 cycles of 10us) to try to address AE_TIME errors during EC 7907114237Snjltransactions. 7908102550Siwasaki 7909102550Siwasaki ---------------------------------------- 7910102550SiwasakiSummary of changes for this label: 11_02_01 7911102550Siwasaki 7912102550Siwasaki1) ACPI CA Core Subsystem: 7913102550Siwasaki 7914102550SiwasakiACPI 2.0 Support: Implemented ACPI 2.0 64-bit Field access 7915102550Siwasaki(QWordAcc keyword). All ACPI 2.0 64-bit support is now 7916102550Siwasakiimplemented. 7917102550Siwasaki 7918114237SnjlOSL Interfaces: Several of the OSL (AcpiOs*) interfaces required 7919114237Snjlchanges to support ACPI 2.0 Qword field access. Read/Write 7920193267SjkimPciConfiguration(), Read/Write Memory(), and Read/Write Port() now 7921126372Snjlaccept an ACPI_INTEGER (64 bits) as the value parameter. Also, 7922193267Sjkimthe value parameter for the address space handler interface is now 7923193267Sjkiman ACPI_INTEGER. OSL implementations of these interfaces must now 7924126372Snjlhandle the case where the Width parameter is 64. 7925102550Siwasaki 7926104470SiwasakiIndex Fields: Fixed a problem where unaligned bit assembly and 7927104470Siwasakidisassembly for IndexFields was not supported correctly. 7928102550Siwasaki 7929102550SiwasakiIndex and Bank Fields: Nested Index and Bank Fields are now 7930104470Siwasakisupported. During field access, a check is performed to ensure 7931114237Snjlthat the value written to an Index or Bank register is not out of 7932114237Snjlthe range of the register. The Index (or Bank) register is 7933114237Snjlwritten before each access to the field data. Future support will 7934114237Snjlinclude allowing individual IndexFields to be wider than the 7935114237SnjlDataRegister width. 7936102550Siwasaki 7937114237SnjlFields: Fixed a problem where the AML interpreter was incorrectly 7938114237Snjlattempting to write beyond the end of a Field/OpRegion. This was 7939114237Snjla boundary case that occurred when a DWORD field was written to a 7940114237SnjlBYTE access OpRegion, forcing multiple writes and causing the 7941114237Snjlinterpreter to write one datum too many. 7942102550Siwasaki 7943102550SiwasakiFields: Fixed a problem with Field/OpRegion access where the 7944114237Snjlstarting bit address of a field was incorrectly calculated if the 7945114237Snjlcurrent access type was wider than a byte (WordAcc, DwordAcc, or 7946114237SnjlQwordAcc). 7947102550Siwasaki 7948104470SiwasakiFields: Fixed a problem where forward references to individual 7949193267SjkimFieldUnits (individual Field names within a Field definition) were 7950126372Snjlnot resolved during the AML table load. 7951102550Siwasaki 7952104470SiwasakiFields: Fixed a problem where forward references from a Field 7953104470Siwasakidefinition to the parent Operation Region definition were not 7954104470Siwasakiresolved during the AML table load. 7955104470Siwasaki 7956114237SnjlFields: Duplicate FieldUnit names within a scope are now detected 7957114237Snjlduring AML table load. 7958102550Siwasaki 7959193267SjkimAcpi Interfaces: Fixed a problem where the AcpiGetName() interface 7960126372Snjlreturned an incorrect name for the root node. 7961102550Siwasaki 7962193267SjkimCode and Data Size: Code and Data optimizations have permitted new 7963126372Snjlfeature development with an actual reduction in the library size. 7964126372SnjlCurrent core subsystem library sizes are shown below.

This resolves 8003126372Snjlall of the outstanding problem reports where an object is deleted 8004193267Sjkimin the middle of an interpreter evaluation. Although this problem 8005126372Snjlonly showed up in rather obscure cases, the solution to the 8006126372Snjlproblem involved an adjustment of all reference counts involving 8007126372Snjlobjects attached to namespace nodes. 8008102550Siwasaki 8009102550SiwasakiFixed a problem with Field support in the interpreter where 8010114237Snjlwriting to an aligned field whose length is an exact multiple (2 8011193267Sjkimor greater) of the field access granularity would cause an attempt 8012126372Snjlto write beyond the end of the field. 8013102550Siwasaki 8014102550SiwasakiThe top level AML opcode execution functions within the 8015102550Siwasakiinterpreter have been renamed with a more meaningful and 8016102550Siwasakiconsistent naming convention. The modules exmonad.c and 8017102550Siwasakiexdyadic.c were eliminated. New modules are exoparg1.c, 8018102550Siwasakiexoparg2.c, exoparg3.c, and exoparg6.c. 8019102550Siwasaki 8020114237SnjlSupport for the ACPI 2.0 "Mid" ASL operator has been implemented. 8021102550Siwasaki 8022114237SnjlFixed a problem where the AML debugger was causing some internal 8023114237Snjlobjects to not be deleted during subsystem termination. 8024102550Siwasaki 8025104470SiwasakiFixed a problem with the external AcpiEvaluateObject interface 8026104470Siwasakiwhere the subsystem would fault if the named object to be 8027104470Siwasakievaluated refered to a constant such as Zero, Ones, etc. 8028102550Siwasaki 8029102550SiwasakiFixed a problem with IndexFields and BankFields where the 8030114237Snjlsubsystem would fault if the index, data, or bank registers were 8031114237Snjlnot defined in the same scope as the field itself. 8032102550Siwasaki 8033104470SiwasakiAdded printf format string checking for compilers that support 8034104470Siwasakithis feature. Corrected more than 50 instances of issues with 8035104470Siwasakiformat specifiers within invocations of ACPI_DEBUG_PRINT 8036104470Siwasakithroughout the core subsystem code. 8037102550Siwasaki 8038104470SiwasakiThe ASL "Revision" operator now returns the ACPI support level 8039193267Sjkimimplemented in the core - the value "2" since the ACPI 2.0 support 8040126372Snjlis more than 50% implemented. 8041102550Siwasaki 8042114237SnjlEnhanced the output of the AML debugger "dump namespace" command 8043114237Snjlto output in a more human-readable form. 8044102550Siwasaki 8045114237SnjlCurrent core subsystem library code sizes are shown below.

The 'info' 8072193267Sjkimfile now includes threshold/policy information, and allows setting 8073126372Snjlof _SCP (cooling preference) and _TZP (polling frequency) values 8074193267Sjkimto the 'info' file. Examples: "echo tzp=5 > info" sets the polling 8075126372Snjlfrequency to 5 seconds, and "echo scp=1 > info" sets the cooling 8076126372Snjlpreference to the passive/quiet mode (if supported by the ASL). 8077102550Siwasaki 8078104470SiwasakiImplemented a workaround for a gcc bug that resuted in an OOPs 8079104470Siwasakiwhen loading the control method battery driver. 8080102550Siwasaki 8081102550Siwasaki ---------------------------------------- 8082102550SiwasakiSummary of changes for this label: 09_20_01 8083102550Siwasaki 8084102550Siwasaki ACPI CA Core Subsystem: 8085102550Siwasaki 8086104470SiwasakiThe AcpiEnableEvent and AcpiDisableEvent interfaces have been 8087104470Siwasakimodified to allow individual GPE levels to be flagged as wake- 8088114237Snjlenabled (i.e., these GPEs are to remain enabled when the platform 8089114237Snjlsleeps.) 8090102550Siwasaki 8091104470SiwasakiThe AcpiEnterSleepState and AcpiLeaveSleepState interfaces now 8092104470Siwasakisupport wake-enabled GPEs. This means that upon entering the 8093104470Siwasakisleep state, all GPEs that are not wake-enabled are disabled. 8094104470SiwasakiWhen leaving the sleep state, these GPEs are reenabled. 8095102550Siwasaki 8096114237SnjlA local double-precision divide/modulo module has been added to 8097114237Snjlenhance portability to OS kernels where a 64-bit math library is 8098114237Snjlnot available. The new module is "utmath.c". 8099102550Siwasaki 8100104470SiwasakiSeveral optimizations have been made to reduce the use of CPU 8101114237Snjlstack. Originally over 2K, the maximum stack usage is now below 8102114237Snjl2K at 1860 bytes (1.82k) 8103102550Siwasaki 8104114237SnjlFixed a problem with the AcpiGetFirmwareTable interface where the 8105193267Sjkimroot table pointer was not mapped into a logical address properly. 8106102550Siwasaki 8107193267SjkimFixed a problem where a NULL pointer was being dereferenced in the 8108126372Snjlinterpreter code for the ASL Notify operator. 8109102550Siwasaki 8110102550SiwasakiFixed a problem where the use of the ASL Revision operator 8111114237Snjlreturned an error. This operator now returns the current version 8112114237Snjlof the ACPI CA core subsystem. 8113102550Siwasaki 8114114237SnjlFixed a problem where objects passed as control method parameters 8115114237Snjlto AcpiEvaluateObject were always deleted at method termination. 8116114237SnjlHowever, these objects may end up being stored into the namespace 8117114237Snjlby the called method. The object reference count mechanism was 8118114237Snjlapplied to these objects instead of a force delete. 8119102550Siwasaki 8120114237SnjlFixed a problem where static strings or buffers (contained in the 8121114237SnjlAML code) that are declared as package elements within the ASL 8122114237Snjlcode could cause a fault because the interpreter would attempt to 8123114237Snjldelete them. These objects are now marked with the "static 8124114237Snjlobject" flag to prevent any attempt to delete them. 8125102550Siwasaki 8126114237SnjlImplemented an interpreter optimization to use operands directly 8127114237Snjlfrom the state object instead of extracting the operands to local 8128114237Snjlvariables. This reduces stack use and code size, and improves 8129114237Snjlperformance. 8130102550Siwasaki 8131193267SjkimThe module exxface.c was eliminated as it was an unnecessary extra 8132126372Snjllayer of code. 8133102550Siwasaki 8134114237SnjlCurrent core subsystem library code sizes are shown below.

The implicit function return value (not the 8166114237Snjlexplicit store operands) was returning the remainder instead of 8167114237Snjlthe quotient. This was a longstanding bug and it fixes several 8168114237Snjlknown outstanding issues on various platforms. 8169102550Siwasaki 8170104470SiwasakiThe ACPI_DEBUG_PRINT and function trace entry/exit macros have 8171193267Sjkimbeen further optimized for size. There are 700 invocations of the 8172126372SnjlDEBUG_PRINT macro alone, so each optimization reduces the size of 8173126372Snjlthe debug version of the subsystem significantly. 8174102550Siwasaki 8175114237SnjlA stack trace mechanism has been implemented. The maximum stack 8176193267Sjkimusage is about 2K on 32-bit platforms. The debugger command "stat 8177126372Snjlstack" will display the current maximum stack usage. 8178102550Siwasaki 8179114237SnjlAll public symbols and global variables within the subsystem are 8180114237Snjlnow prefixed with the string "Acpi". This keeps all of the 8181114237Snjlsymbols grouped together in a kernel map, and avoids conflicts 8182114237Snjlwith other kernel subsystems. 8183102550Siwasaki 8184114237SnjlMost of the internal fixed lookup tables have been moved into the 8185114237Snjlcode segment via the const operator. 8186102550Siwasaki 8187104470SiwasakiSeveral enhancements have been made to the interpreter to both 8188104470Siwasakireduce the code size and improve performance. 8189102550Siwasaki 8190114237SnjlCurrent core subsystem library code sizes are shown below.

The debug version of the code 8194126372Snjlincludes the full debug trace mechanism which contains over 700 8195126372Snjlinvocations of the DEBUG_PRINT macro, 500 function entry macro 8196126372Snjlinvocations, and over 900 function exit macro invocations -- 8197126372Snjlleading to a much larger code and data size. Note that these 8198114237Snjlvalues will vary depending on the efficiency of the compiler and 8199114237Snjlthe compiler options used during generation. 8200102550Siwasaki 8201102550Siwasaki Non-Debug Version: 64K Code, 5K Data, 69K Total 8202102550SiwasakiDebug Version: 137K Code, 58K Data, 195K Total 8203102550Siwasaki 8204102550Siwasaki Linux: 8205102550Siwasaki 8206104470SiwasakiImplemented wbinvd() macro, pending a kernel-wide definition. 8207102550Siwasaki 8208102550SiwasakiFixed /proc/acpi/event to handle poll() and short reads. 8209102550Siwasaki 8210102550Siwasaki ASL Compiler, version X2026: 8211102550Siwasaki 8212104470SiwasakiFixed a problem introduced in the previous label where the AML 8213167802Sjkim 8214104470Siwasakicode emitted for package objects produced packages with zero 8215104470Siwasakilength. 8216102550Siwasaki 8217102550Siwasaki ---------------------------------------- 8218102550SiwasakiSummary of changes for this label: 08_16_01 8219102550Siwasaki 8220102550SiwasakiACPI CA Core Subsystem: 8221102550Siwasaki 8222114237SnjlThe following ACPI 2.0 ASL operators have been implemented in the 8223114237SnjlAML interpreter (These are already supported by the Intel ASL 8224193267Sjkimcompiler): ToDecimalString, ToHexString, ToString, ToInteger, and 8225126372SnjlToBuffer. Support for 64-bit AML constants is implemented in the 8226126372SnjlAML parser, debugger, and disassembler. 8227102550Siwasaki 8228114237SnjlThe internal memory tracking mechanism (leak detection code) has 8229114237Snjlbeen upgraded to reduce the memory overhead (a separate tracking 8230114237Snjlblock is no longer allocated for each memory allocation), and now 8231114237Snjlsupports all of the internal object caches. 8232102550Siwasaki 8233114237SnjlThe data structures and code for the internal object caches have 8234114237Snjlbeen coelesced and optimized so that there is a single cache and 8235114237Snjlmemory list data structure and a single group of functions that 8236114237Snjlimplement generic cache management. This has reduced the code 8237114237Snjlsize in both the debug and release versions of the subsystem. 8238102550Siwasaki 8239193267SjkimThe DEBUG_PRINT macro(s) have been optimized for size and replaced 8240126372Snjlby ACPI_DEBUG_PRINT. The syntax for this macro is slightly 8241126372Snjldifferent, because it generates a single call to an internal 8242126372Snjlfunction. This results in a savings of about 90 bytes per 8243193267Sjkiminvocation, resulting in an overall code and data savings of about 8244126372Snjl16% in the debug version of the subsystem. 8245102550Siwasaki 8246102550Siwasaki Linux: 8247102550Siwasaki 8248114237SnjlFixed C3 disk corruption problems and re-enabled C3 on supporting 8249114237Snjlmachines. 8250102550Siwasaki 8251102550SiwasakiIntegrated low-level sleep code by Patrick Mochel. 8252102550Siwasaki 8253102550SiwasakiFurther tweaked source code Linuxization. 8254102550Siwasaki 8255102550SiwasakiOther minor fixes. 8256102550Siwasaki 8257102550Siwasaki ASL Compiler: 8258102550Siwasaki 8259114237SnjlSupport for ACPI 2.0 variable length packages is fixed/completed. 8260102550Siwasaki 8261114237SnjlFixed a problem where the optional length parameter for the ACPI 8262114237Snjl2.0 ToString operator. 8263102550Siwasaki 8264114237SnjlFixed multiple extraneous error messages when a syntax error is 8265114237Snjldetected within the declaration line of a control method. 8266102550Siwasaki 8267102550Siwasaki ---------------------------------------- 8268102550SiwasakiSummary of changes for this label: 07_17_01 8269102550Siwasaki 8270102550SiwasakiACPI CA Core Subsystem: 8271102550Siwasaki 8272104470SiwasakiAdded a new interface named AcpiGetFirmwareTable to obtain any 8273193267SjkimACPI table via the ACPI signature. The interface can be called at 8274126372Snjlany time during kernel initialization, even before the kernel 8275193267Sjkimvirtual memory manager is initialized and paging is enabled. This 8276126372Snjlallows kernel subsystems to obtain ACPI tables very early, even 8277126372Snjlbefore the ACPI CA subsystem is initialized. 8278102550Siwasaki 8279104470SiwasakiFixed a problem where Fields defined with the AnyAcc attribute 8280104470Siwasakicould be resolved to the incorrect address under the following 8281114237Snjlconditions: 1) the field width is larger than 8 bits and 2) the 8282114237Snjlparent operation region is not defined on a DWORD boundary. 8283102550Siwasaki 8284114237SnjlFixed a problem where the interpreter is not being locked during 8285114237Snjlnamespace initialization (during execution of the _INI control 8286114237Snjlmethods), causing an error when an attempt is made to release it 8287114237Snjllater. 8288102550Siwasaki 8289104470SiwasakiACPI 2.0 support in the AML Interpreter has begun and will be 8290114237Snjlongoing throughout the rest of this year. In this label, The Mod 8291114237Snjloperator is implemented. 8292102550Siwasaki 8293102550SiwasakiAdded a new data type to contain full PCI addresses named 8294193267SjkimACPI_PCI_ID. This structure contains the PCI Segment, Bus, Device, 8295126372Snjland Function values. 8296102550Siwasaki 8297102550Siwasaki Linux: 8298102550Siwasaki 8299102550SiwasakiEnhanced the Linux version of the source code to change most 8300102550Siwasakicapitalized ACPI type names to lowercase. For example, all 8301114237Snjlinstances of ACPI_STATUS are changed to acpi_status. This will 8302114237Snjlresult in a large diff, but the change is strictly cosmetic and 8303114237Snjlaligns the CA code closer to the Linux coding standard. 8304102550Siwasaki 8305102550SiwasakiOSL Interfaces: 8306102550Siwasaki 8307193267SjkimThe interfaces to the PCI configuration space have been changed to 8308193267Sjkimadd the PCI Segment number and to split the single 32-bit combined 8309126372SnjlDeviceFunction field into two 16-bit fields. This was 8310114237Snjlaccomplished by moving the four values that define an address in 8311114237SnjlPCI configuration space (segment, bus, device, and function) to 8312114237Snjlthe new ACPI_PCI_ID structure. 8313102550Siwasaki 8314104470SiwasakiThe changes to the PCI configuration space interfaces led to a 8315104470Siwasakireexamination of the complete set of address space access 8316114237Snjlinterfaces for PCI, I/O, and Memory. The previously existing 18 8317114237Snjlinterfaces have proven difficult to maintain (any small change 8318193267Sjkimmust be propagated across at least 6 interfaces) and do not easily 8319193267Sjkimallow for future expansion to 64 bits if necessary. Also, on some 8320126372Snjlsystems, it would not be appropriate to demultiplex the access 8321126372Snjlwidth (8, 16, 32,or 64) before calling the OSL if the 8322114237Snjlcorresponding native OS interfaces contain a similar access width 8323114237Snjlparameter. For these reasons, the 18 address space interfaces 8324114237Snjlhave been replaced by these 6 new ones: 8325102550Siwasaki 8326102550SiwasakiAcpiOsReadPciConfiguration 8327102550SiwasakiAcpiOsWritePciConfiguration 8328102550SiwasakiAcpiOsReadMemory 8329102550SiwasakiAcpiOsWriteMemory 8330102550SiwasakiAcpiOsReadPort 8331102550SiwasakiAcpiOsWritePort 8332102550Siwasaki 8333114237SnjlAdded a new interface named AcpiOsGetRootPointer to allow the OSL 8334114237Snjlto perform the platform and/or OS-specific actions necessary to 8335114237Snjlobtain the ACPI RSDP table pointer. On IA-32 platforms, this 8336114237Snjlinterface will simply call down to the CA core to perform the low- 8337114237Snjlmemory search for the table. On IA-64, the RSDP is obtained from 8338114237SnjlEFI. Migrating this interface to the OSL allows the CA core to 8339167802Sjkim 8340114237Snjlremain OS and platform independent. 8341102550Siwasaki 8342104470SiwasakiAdded a new interface named AcpiOsSignal to provide a generic 8343114237Snjl"function code and pointer" interface for various miscellaneous 8344114237Snjlsignals and notifications that must be made to the host OS. The 8345114237Snjlfirst such signals are intended to support the ASL Fatal and 8346114237SnjlBreakpoint operators. In the latter case, the AcpiOsBreakpoint 8347114237Snjlinterface has been obsoleted. 8348102550Siwasaki 8349102550SiwasakiThe definition of the AcpiFormatException interface has been 8350114237Snjlchanged to simplify its use. The caller no longer must supply a 8351114237Snjlbuffer to the call; A pointer to a const string is now returned 8352114237Snjldirectly. This allows the call to be easily used in printf 8353114237Snjlstatements, etc. since the caller does not have to manage a local 8354114237Snjlbuffer. 8355102550Siwasaki 8356114237Snjl 8357102550Siwasaki ASL Compiler, Version X2025: 8358102550Siwasaki 8359114237SnjlThe ACPI 2.0 Switch/Case/Default operators have been implemented 8360114237Snjland are fully functional. They will work with all ACPI 1.0 8361193267Sjkiminterpreters, since the operators are simply translated to If/Else 8362126372Snjlpairs. 8363102550Siwasaki 8364104470SiwasakiThe ACPI 2.0 ElseIf operator is implemented and will also work 8365104470Siwasakiwith 1.0 interpreters, for the same reason. 8366102550Siwasaki 8367114237SnjlImplemented support for ACPI 2.0 variable-length packages. These 8368114237Snjlpackages have a separate opcode, and their size is determined by 8369114237Snjlthe interpreter at run-time. 8370102550Siwasaki 8371193267SjkimDocumentation The ACPI CA Programmer Reference has been updated to 8372126372Snjlreflect the new interfaces and changes to existing interfaces. 8373102550Siwasaki 8374102550Siwasaki ------------------------------------------ 8375102550SiwasakiSummary of changes for this label: 06_15_01 8376102550Siwasaki 8377102550Siwasaki ACPI CA Core Subsystem: 8378102550Siwasaki 8379102550SiwasakiFixed a problem where a DWORD-accessed field within a Buffer 8380114237Snjlobject would get its byte address inadvertently rounded down to 8381114237Snjlthe nearest DWORD. Buffers are always Byte-accessible. 8382102550Siwasaki 8383102550Siwasaki ASL Compiler, version X2024: 8384102550Siwasaki 8385114237SnjlFixed a problem where the Switch() operator would either fault or 8386114237Snjlhang the compiler. Note however, that the AML code for this ACPI 8387114237Snjl2.0 operator is not yet implemented. 8388102550Siwasaki 8389114237SnjlCompiler uses the new AcpiOsGetTimer interface to obtain compile 8390114237Snjltimings. 8391102550Siwasaki 8392114237SnjlImplementation of the CreateField operator automatically converts 8393114237Snjla reference to a named field within a resource descriptor from a 8394114237Snjlbyte offset to a bit offset if required. 8395102550Siwasaki 8396102550SiwasakiAdded some missing named fields from the resource descriptor 8397193267Sjkimsupport. These are the names that are automatically created by the 8398126372Snjlcompiler to reference fields within a descriptor. They are only 8399126372Snjlvalid at compile time and are not passed through to the AML 8400114237Snjlinterpreter. 8401102550Siwasaki 8402104470SiwasakiResource descriptor named fields are now typed as Integers and 8403104470Siwasakisubject to compile-time typechecking when used in expressions. 8404102550Siwasaki 8405102550Siwasaki ------------------------------------------ 8406102550SiwasakiSummary of changes for this label: 05_18_01 8407102550Siwasaki 8408102550Siwasaki ACPI CA Core Subsystem: 8409102550Siwasaki 8410114237SnjlFixed a couple of problems in the Field support code where bits 8411193267Sjkimfrom adjacent fields could be returned along with the proper field 8412126372Snjlbits. Restructured the field support code to improve performance, 8413126372Snjlreadability and maintainability. 8414102550Siwasaki 8415114237SnjlNew DEBUG_PRINTP macro automatically inserts the procedure name 8416114237Snjlinto the output, saving hundreds of copies of procedure name 8417114237Snjlstrings within the source, shrinking the memory footprint of the 8418114237Snjldebug version of the core subsystem. 8419102550Siwasaki 8420102550Siwasaki Source Code Structure: 8421102550Siwasaki 8422104470SiwasakiThe source code directory tree was restructured to reflect the 8423114237Snjlcurrent organization of the component architecture.

This includes fields that have a 8498126372Snjlminimum access width that is smaller than the parent region, and 8499126372Snjlindividual field units that are partially or entirely beyond the 8500126372Snjlextent of the parent. 8501102550Siwasaki 8502102550Siwasaki 8503102550Siwasaki 8504102550Siwasaki------------------------------------------ 8505102550SiwasakiSummary of changes for this label: 04_27_01 8506102550Siwasaki 8507102550Siwasaki ACPI CA Core Subsystem: 8508102550Siwasaki 8509193267SjkimFixed a problem where the namespace mutex could be released at the 8510126372Snjlwrong time during execution of AcpiRemoveAddressSpaceHandler. 8511102550Siwasaki 8512104470SiwasakiAdded optional thread ID output for debug traces, to simplify 8513114237Snjldebugging of multiple threads. Added context switch notification 8514114237Snjlwhen the debug code realizes that a different thread is now 8515114237Snjlexecuting ACPI code. 8516102550Siwasaki 8517114237SnjlSome additional external data types have been prefixed with the 8518114237Snjlstring "ACPI_" for consistency. This may effect existing code. 8519193267SjkimThe data types affected are the external callback typedefs - e.g., 8520167802Sjkim 8521126372SnjlWALK_CALLBACK becomes ACPI_WALK_CALLBACK. 8522102550Siwasaki 8523102550Siwasaki Linux: 8524102550Siwasaki 8525102550SiwasakiFixed an issue with the OSL semaphore implementation where a 8526102550Siwasakithread was waking up with an error from receiving a SIGCHLD 8527102550Siwasakisignal. 8528102550Siwasaki 8529114237SnjlLinux version of ACPI CA now uses the system C library for string 8530114237Snjlmanipulation routines instead of a local implementation. 8531102550Siwasaki 8532102550SiwasakiCleaned up comments and removed TBDs. 8533102550Siwasaki 8534102550Siwasaki ASL Compiler, version X2017: 8535102550Siwasaki 8536102550SiwasakiEnhanced error detection and reporting for all file I/O 8537102550Siwasakioperations. 8538102550Siwasaki 8539102550Siwasaki Documentation: 8540102550Siwasaki 8541102550SiwasakiProgrammer Reference updated to version 1.06. 8542102550Siwasaki 8543102550Siwasaki 8544102550Siwasaki 8545102550Siwasaki------------------------------------------ 8546102550SiwasakiSummary of changes for this label: 04_13_01 8547102550Siwasaki 8548102550Siwasaki ACPI CA Core Subsystem: 8549102550Siwasaki 8550102550SiwasakiRestructured support for BufferFields and RegionFields. 8551104470SiwasakiBankFields support is now fully operational.

This was required 8663193267Sjkimfor the deadlock detection code. Defined to return a non-zero, 32- 8664126372Snjlbit thread ID for the currently executing thread. May be a non- 8665126372Snjlzero constant integer on single-thread systems. 8666102550Siwasaki 8667193267SjkimImplemented deadlock detection for internal subsystem mutexes. We 8668126372Snjlmay add conditional compilation for this code (debug only) later. 8669102550Siwasaki 8670104470SiwasakiASL/AML Mutex object semantics are now fully supported. This 8671114237Snjlincludes multiple acquires/releases by owner and support for the 8672167802Sjkim 8673114237SnjlMutex SyncLevel parameter. 8674102550Siwasaki 8675102550SiwasakiA new "Force Release" mechanism automatically frees all ASL 8676104470SiwasakiMutexes that have been acquired but not released when a thread 8677114237Snjlexits the interpreter. This forces conformance to the ACPI spec 8678114237Snjl("All mutexes must be released when an invocation exits") and 8679114237Snjlprevents deadlocked ASL threads. This mechanism can be expanded 8680114237Snjl(later) to monitor other resource acquisitions if OEM ASL code 8681114237Snjlcontinues to misbehave (which it will). 8682102550Siwasaki 8683104470SiwasakiSeveral new ACPI exception codes have been added for the Mutex 8684104470Siwasakisupport. 8685102550Siwasaki 8686104470SiwasakiRecursive method calls are now allowed and supported (the ACPI 8687114237Snjlspec does in fact allow recursive method calls.)

There are no known 9069114237Snjlsemaphore or mutex "leaks" at this time. 9070102550Siwasaki 9071114237SnjlFixed the case where an ASL Return operator is used to return an 9072114237Snjlunnamed package. 9073102550Siwasaki 9074102550Siwasaki------------------------------------------- 9075102550SiwasakiSummary of changes for this label: 07_28_00 9076102550Siwasaki 9077102550SiwasakiFixed a problem with the way addresses were calculated in 9078114237SnjlAcpiAmlReadFieldData() and AcpiAmlWriteFieldData(). This problem 9079114237Snjlmanifested itself when a Field was created with WordAccess or 9080193267SjkimDwordAccess, but the field unit defined within the Field was less 9081167802Sjkim 9082126372Snjlthan a Word or Dword. 9083102550Siwasaki 9084102550SiwasakiFixed a problem in AmlDumpOperands() module's loop to pull 9085104470Siwasakioperands off of the operand stack to display information. The 9086114237Snjlproblem manifested itself as a TLB error on 64-bit systems when 9087114237Snjlaccessing an operand stack with two or more operands. 9088102550Siwasaki 9089114237SnjlFixed a problem with the PCI configuration space handlers where 9090114237Snjlcontext was getting confused between accesses. This required a 9091114237Snjlchange to the generic address space handler and address space 9092193267Sjkimsetup definitions. Handlers now get both a global handler context 9093126372Snjl(this is the one passed in by the user when executing 9094114237SnjlAcpiInstallAddressSpaceHandler() and a specific region context 9095114237Snjlthat is unique to each region (For example, the _ADR, _SEG and 9096114237Snjl_BBN values associated with a specific region). The generic 9097114237Snjlfunction definitions have changed to the following: 9098102550Siwasaki 9099114237Snjltypedef ACPI_STATUS (*ADDRESS_SPACE_HANDLER) ( UINT32 Function, 9100114237SnjlUINT32 Address, UINT32 BitWidth, UINT32 *Value, void 9101104470Siwasaki*HandlerContext, // This used to be void *Context void 9102102550Siwasaki*RegionContext); // This is an additional parameter 9103102550Siwasaki 9104102550Siwasakitypedef ACPI_STATUS (*ADDRESS_SPACE_SETUP) ( ACPI_HANDLE 9105102550SiwasakiRegionHandle, UINT32 Function, void *HandlerContext, void 9106102550Siwasaki**RegionContext); // This used to be **ReturnContext 9107102550Siwasaki 9108102550Siwasaki------------------------------------------- 9109102550SiwasakiSummary of changes for this label: 07_21_00 9110102550Siwasaki 9111102550SiwasakiMajor file consolidation and rename. All files within the 9112193267Sjkiminterpreter have been renamed as well as most header files. This 9113126372Snjlwas done to prevent collisions with existing files in the host 9114126372SnjlOSs -- filenames such as "config.h" and "global.h" seem to be 9115126372Snjlquite common. The VC project files have been updated. All 9116114237Snjlmakefiles will require modification. 9117102550Siwasaki 9118114237SnjlThe parser/interpreter integration continues in Phase 5 with the 9119114237Snjlimplementation of a complete 2-pass parse (the AML is parsed 9120114237Snjltwice) for each table; This avoids the construction of a huge 9121114237Snjlparse tree and therefore reduces the amount of dynamic memory 9122114237Snjlrequired by the subsystem. Greater use of the parse object cache 9123114237Snjlmeans that performance is unaffected. 9124102550Siwasaki 9125102550SiwasakiMany comments from the two code reviews have been rolled in. 9126102550Siwasaki 9127102550SiwasakiThe 64-bit alignment support is complete. 9128102550Siwasaki 9129102550Siwasaki------------------------------------------- 9130102550SiwasakiSummary of changes for this label: 06_30_00 9131102550Siwasaki 9132114237SnjlWith a nod and a tip of the hat to the technology of yesteryear, 9133114237Snjlwe've added support in the source code for 80 column output 9134114237Snjldevices. The code is now mostly constrained to 80 columns or 9135114237Snjlless to support environments and editors that 1) cannot display 9136114237Snjlor print more than 80 characters on a single line, and 2) cannot 9137114237Snjldisable line wrapping. 9138102550Siwasaki 9139104470SiwasakiA major restructuring of the namespace data structure has been 9140104470Siwasakicompleted. The result is 1) cleaner and more 9141114237Snjlunderstandable/maintainable code, and 2) a significant reduction 9142114237Snjlin the dynamic memory requirement for each named ACPI object 9143114237Snjl(almost half). 9144102550Siwasaki 9145102550Siwasaki------------------------------------------- 9146102550SiwasakiSummary of changes for this label: 06_23_00 9147102550Siwasaki 9148114237SnjlLinux support has been added. In order to obtain approval to get 9149114237Snjlthe ACPI CA subsystem into the Linux kernel, we've had to make 9150114237Snjlquite a few changes to the base subsystem that will affect all 9151114237Snjlusers (all the changes are generic and OS- independent). The 9152114237Snjleffects of these global changes have been somewhat far reaching. 9153114237SnjlFiles have been merged and/or renamed and interfaces have been 9154114237Snjlrenamed. The major changes are described below. 9155102550Siwasaki 9156102550SiwasakiOsd* interfaces renamed to AcpiOs* to eliminate namespace 9157102550Siwasakipollution/confusion within our target kernels. All OSD 9158114237Snjlinterfaces must be modified to match the new naming convention. 9159102550Siwasaki 9160193267SjkimFiles merged across the subsystem. A number of the smaller source 9161126372Snjland header files have been merged to reduce the file count and 9162126372Snjlincrease the density of the existing files. There are too many 9163126372Snjlto list here. In general, makefiles that call out individual 9164126372Snjlfiles will require rebuilding. 9165102550Siwasaki 9166104470SiwasakiInterpreter files renamed. All interpreter files now have the 9167104470Siwasakiprefix am* instead of ie* and is*. 9168102550Siwasaki 9169104470SiwasakiHeader files renamed: The acapi.h file is now acpixf.h. The 9170114237Snjlacpiosd.h file is now acpiosxf.h. We are removing references to 9171114237Snjlthe acronym "API" since it is somewhat windowsy. The new name is 9172114237Snjl"external interface" or xface or xf in the filenames.j 9173102550Siwasaki 9174102550Siwasaki 9175114237SnjlAll manifest constants have been forced to upper case (some were 9176193267Sjkimmixed case.) Also, the string "ACPI_" has been prepended to many 9177126372Snjl(not all) of the constants, typedefs, and structs. 9178102550Siwasaki 9179102550SiwasakiThe globals "DebugLevel" and "DebugLayer" have been renamed 9180102550Siwasaki"AcpiDbgLevel" and "AcpiDbgLayer" respectively. 9181102550Siwasaki 9182102550SiwasakiAll other globals within the subsystem are now prefixed with 9183102550Siwasaki"AcpiGbl_" Internal procedures within the subsystem are now 9184114237Snjlprefixed with "Acpi" (with only a few exceptions). The original 9185193267Sjkimtwo-letter abbreviation for the subcomponent remains after "Acpi" 9186126372Snjl- for example, CmCallocate became AcpiCmCallocate. 9187102550Siwasaki 9188102550SiwasakiAdded a source code translation/conversion utility. Used to 9189114237Snjlgenerate the Linux source code, it can be modified to generate 9190114237Snjlother types of source as well. Can also be used to cleanup 9191114237Snjlexisting source by removing extraneous spaces and blank lines. 9192114237SnjlFound in tools/acpisrc/* 9193102550Siwasaki 9194102550SiwasakiOsdUnMapMemory was renamed to OsdUnmapMemory and then 9195102550SiwasakiAcpiOsUnmapMemory. (UnMap became Unmap). 9196102550Siwasaki 9197114237SnjlA "MaxUnits" parameter has been added to AcpiOsCreateSemaphore. 9198114237SnjlWhen set to one, this indicates that the caller wants to use the 9199167802Sjkim 9200114237Snjlsemaphore as a mutex, not a counting semaphore. ACPI CA uses 9201114237Snjlboth types. However, implementers of this call may want to use 9202114237Snjldifferent OS primitives depending on the type of semaphore 9203114237Snjlrequested. For example, some operating systems provide separate 9204167802Sjkim 9205193267Sjkim"mutex" and "semaphore" interfaces - where the mutex interface is 9206126372Snjlmuch faster because it doesn't have all the overhead of a full 9207126372Snjlsemaphore implementation. 9208102550Siwasaki 9209104470SiwasakiFixed a deadlock problem where a method that accesses the PCI 9210114237Snjladdress space can block forever if it is the first access to the 9211114237Snjlspace. 9212102550Siwasaki 9213102550Siwasaki------------------------------------------- 9214102550SiwasakiSummary of changes for this label: 06_02_00 9215102550Siwasaki 9216102550SiwasakiSupport for environments that cannot handle unaligned data 9217114237Snjlaccesses (e.g. firmware and OS environments devoid of alignment 9218193267Sjkimhandler technology namely SAL/EFI and the IA-64 Linux kernel) has 9219126372Snjlbeen added (via configurable macros) in these three areas: - 9220114237SnjlTransfer of data from the raw AML byte stream is done via byte 9221193267Sjkimmoves instead of word/dword/qword moves. - External objects are 9222126372Snjlaligned within the user buffer, including package elements (sub- 9223193267Sjkimobjects). - Conversion of name strings to UINT32 Acpi Names is now 9224126372Snjldone byte-wise. 9225102550Siwasaki 9226102550SiwasakiThe Store operator was modified to mimic Microsoft's 9227102550Siwasakiimplementation when storing to a Buffer Field. 9228102550Siwasaki 9229102550SiwasakiAdded a check of the BM_STS bit before entering C3. 9230102550Siwasaki 9231114237SnjlThe methods subdirectory has been obsoleted and removed. A new 9232114237Snjlfile, cmeval.c subsumes the functionality. 9233102550Siwasaki 9234102550SiwasakiA 16-bit (DOS) version of AcpiExec has been developed. The 9235102550Siwasakimakefile is under the acpiexec directory. 9236
