  • Replaced the acpi_os_queue_for_execution() with a new
    interface named acpi_os_execute(). The major difference is
    that the new interface does not have a Priority parameter,
    this appeared to be useless and has been replaced by
    a Type parameter. The Type tells the OS what type of
    execution is being requested, such as global lock handler,
    notify handler, GPE handler, etc. This allows the host
    to queue and execute the request as appropriate for the
    request type, possibly using different work queues and
    different priorities for the various request types. This
    enables fixes for multithreading deadlock problems such as
    http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5534
    (Alexey Starikovskiy and Bob Moore)

    Fixed a possible memory leak associated with the
    support for the so-called "implicit return" ACPI
    extension. Reported by FreeBSD (Fiodor Suietov)
    http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6514

    Fixed a problem with the Load() operator where a table
    load from an operation region could overwrite an internal
    table buffer by up to 7 bytes and cause alignment faults
    on IPF systems. (With assistance from Luming Yu)

  • Implemented the use of a cache object for all internal
    namespace nodes. Since there are about 1000 static nodes
    in a typical system, this will decrease memory use for
    cache implementations that minimize per-allocation overhead
    (such as a slab allocator.)

    Removed the reference count mechanism for internal
    namespace nodes, since it was deemed unnecessary. This
    reduces the size of each namespace node by about 5%-10%
    on all platforms. Nodes are now 20 bytes for the 32-bit
    case, and 32 bytes for the 64-bit case.

    Optimized several internal data structures to reduce
    object size on 64-bit platforms by packing data within
    the 64-bit alignment. This includes the frequently used
    ACPI_OPERAND_OBJECT, of which there can be ~1000 static
    instances corresponding to the namespace objects.

    Added two new strings for the predefined _OSI method:
    "Windows 2001.1 SP1" and "Windows 2006".

    Split the allocation tracking mechanism out to a separate
    file, from utalloc.c to uttrack.c. This mechanism appears
    to be only useful for application-level code. Kernels may
    wish to not include uttrack.c in distributions.

    Removed all remnants of the obsolete ACPI_REPORT_* macros
    and the associated code. (These macros have been replaced
    by the ACPI_ERROR and ACPI_WARNING macros.)

  • Added 2006 copyright.

    At SuSE's suggestion, enabled all error messages
    without enabling function tracing, ie with CONFIG_ACPI_DEBUG=n

    Replaced all instances of the ACPI_DEBUG_PRINT macro invoked at
    the ACPI_DB_ERROR and ACPI_DB_WARN debug levels with
    the ACPI_REPORT_ERROR and ACPI_REPORT_WARNING macros,
    respectively. This preserves all error and warning messages
    in the non-debug version of the ACPICA code (this has been
    referred to as the "debug lite" option.) Over 200 cases
    were converted to create a total of over 380 error/warning
    messages across the ACPICA code. This increases the code
    and data size of the default non-debug version by about 13K.
    Added ACPI_NO_ERROR_MESSAGES flag to enable deleting all messages.
    The size of the debug version remains about the same.

  • Modified the subsystem initialization sequence to improve
    GPE support. The GPE initialization has been split into
    two parts in order to defer execution of the _PRW methods
    (Power Resources for Wake) until after the hardware is
    fully initialized and the SCI handler is installed. This
    allows the _PRW methods to access fields protected by the
    Global Lock. This will fix systems where a NO_GLOBAL_LOCK
    exception has been seen during initialization.

    Fixed a regression with the ConcatenateResTemplate()
    ASL operator introduced in the 20051021 release.

    Implemented support for "local" internal ACPI object
    types within the debugger "Object" command and the
    acpi_walk_namespace() external interfaces. These local
    types include RegionFields, BankFields, IndexFields, Alias,
    and reference objects.

    Moved common AML resource handling code into a new file,
    "utresrc.c". This code is shared by both the Resource
    Manager and the AML Debugger.

  • ACPICA 20050617:

    Moved the object cache operations into the OS interface
    layer (OSL) to allow the host OS to handle these operations
    if desired (for example, the Linux OSL will invoke the
    slab allocator). This support is optional; the compile
    time define ACPI_USE_LOCAL_CACHE may be used to utilize
    the original cache code in the ACPI CA core. The new OSL
    interfaces are shown below. See utalloc.c for an example
    implementation, and acpiosxf.h for the exact interface
    definitions. Thanks to Alexey Starikovskiy.
    acpi_os_create_cache
    acpi_os_delete_cache
    acpi_os_purge_cache
    acpi_os_acquire_object
    acpi_os_release_object

    Modified the interfaces to acpi_os_acquire_lock and
    acpi_os_release_lock to return and restore a flags
    parameter. This fits better with many OS lock models.
    Note: the current execution state (interrupt handler
    or not) is no longer passed to these interfaces. If
    necessary, the OSL must determine this state by itself, a
    simple and fast operation. Thanks to Alexey Starikovskiy.

    Fixed a problem in the ACPI table handling where a valid
    XSDT was assumed present if the revision of the RSDP
    was 2 or greater. According to the ACPI specification,
    the XSDT is optional in all cases, and the table manager
    therefore now checks for both an RSDP >=2 and a valid
    XSDT pointer. Otherwise, the RSDT pointer is used.
    Some ACPI 2.0 compliant BIOSs contain only the RSDT.

    Fixed an interpreter problem with the Mid() operator in the
    case of an input string where the resulting output string
    is of zero length. It now correctly returns a valid,
    null terminated string object instead of a string object
    with a null pointer.

    Fixed a problem with the control method argument handling
    to allow a store to an Arg object that already contains an
    object of type Device. The Device object is now correctly
    overwritten. Previously, an error was returned.

    ACPICA 20050624:

    Modified the new OSL cache interfaces to use ACPI_CACHE_T
    as the type for the host-defined cache object. This allows
    the OSL implementation to define and type this object in
    any manner desired, simplifying the OSL implementation.
    For example, ACPI_CACHE_T is defined as kmem_cache_t for
    Linux, and should be defined in the OS-specific header
    file for other operating systems as required.

    Changed the interface to AcpiOsAcquireObject to directly
    return the requested object as the function return (instead
    of ACPI_STATUS.) This change was made for performance
    reasons, since this is the purpose of the interface in the
    first place. acpi_os_acquire_object is now similar to the
    acpi_os_allocate interface. Thanks to Alexey Starikovskiy.

    Modified the initialization sequence in
    acpi_initialize_subsystem to call the OSL interface
    acpi_osl_initialize first, before any local initialization.
    This change was required because the global initialization
    now calls OSL interfaces.

    Restructured the code base to split some files because
    of size and/or because the code logically belonged in a
    separate file. New files are listed below.

    utilities/utcache.c /* Local cache interfaces */
    utilities/utmutex.c /* Local mutex support */
    utilities/utstate.c /* State object support */
    parser/psloop.c /* Main AML parse loop */

  • Implemented support for PCI Express root bridges
    -- added support for device PNP0A08 in the root
    bridge search within AcpiEvPciConfigRegionSetup.
    acpi_ev_pci_config_region_setup().

    The interpreter now automatically truncates incoming
    64-bit constants to 32 bits if currently executing out
    of a 32-bit ACPI table (Revision < 2). This also affects
    the iASL compiler constant folding. (Note: as per below,
    the iASL compiler no longer allows 64-bit constants within
    32-bit tables.)

    Fixed a problem where string and buffer objects with
    "static" pointers (pointers to initialization data within
    an ACPI table) were not handled consistently. The internal
    object copy operation now always copies the data to a newly
    allocated buffer, regardless of whether the source object
    is static or not.

    Fixed a problem with the FromBCD operator where an
    implicit result conversion was improperly performed while
    storing the result to the target operand. Since this is an
    "explicit conversion" operator, the implicit conversion
    should never be performed on the output.

    Fixed a problem with the CopyObject operator where a copy
    to an existing named object did not always completely
    overwrite the existing object stored at name. Specifically,
    a buffer-to-buffer copy did not delete the existing buffer.

    Replaced "interrupt_level" with "interrupt_number" in all
    GPE interfaces and structs for consistency.

  • Fixed three cases in the interpreter where an "index"
    argument to an ASL function was still (internally) 32
    bits instead of the required 64 bits. This was the Index
    argument to the Index, Mid, and Match operators.

    The "strupr" function is now permanently local
    (acpi_ut_strupr), since this is not a POSIX-defined
    function and not present in most kernel-level C
    libraries. References to the C library strupr function
    have been removed from the headers.

    Completed the deployment of static
    functions/prototypes. All prototypes with the static
    attribute have been moved from the headers to the owning
    C file.

    ACPICA 20050329 from Bob Moore

    An error is now generated if an attempt is made to create
    a Buffer Field of length zero (A CreateField with a length
    operand of zero.)

    The interpreter now issues a warning whenever executable
    code at the module level is detected during ACPI table
    load. This will give some idea of the prevalence of this
    type of code.

    Implemented support for references to named objects (other
    than control methods) within package objects.

    Enhanced package object output for the debug
    object. Package objects are now completely dumped, showing
    all elements.

    Enhanced miscellaneous object output for the debug
    object. Any object can now be written to the debug object
    (for example, a device object can be written, and the type
    of the object will be displayed.)

    The "static" qualifier has been added to all local
    functions across the core subsystem.

    The number of "long" lines (> 80 chars) within the source
    has been significantly reduced, by about 1/3.

    Cleaned up all header files to ensure that all CA/iASL
    functions are prototyped (even static functions) and the
    formatting is consistent.

    Two new header files have been added, acopcode.h and
    acnames.h.

    Removed several obsolete functions that were no longer
    used.

  • Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
    even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
    archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
    3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
    git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
    infrastructure for it.

    Let it rip!
