  • Replace all uses of kmem_cache_t with struct kmem_cache.

    The patch was generated using the following script:

    #!/bin/sh
    #
    # Replace one string by another in all the kernel sources.
    #

    set -e

    for file in `find * -name "*.c" -o -name "*.h"|xargs grep -l $1`; do
    quilt add $file
    sed -e "1,\$s/$1/$2/g" $file >/tmp/$$
    mv /tmp/$$ $file
    quilt refresh
    done

    The script was run like this

    sh replace kmem_cache_t "struct kmem_cache"

  • Replace acpi_in_resume with a more general hack
    to check irqs_disabled() on any kmalloc() from ACPI.
    While setting (system_state != SYSTEM_RUNNING) on resume
    seemed more general, Andrew Morton preferred this approach.

  • Linux mutexes and the debug code that that reference
    acpi_os_get_thread_id() are happy with 0.
    But the AML mutexes in exmutex.c expect a unique non-zero
    number for each thread - as they track this thread_id
    to permit the mutex re-entrancy defined by the ACPI spec.

  • Implemented a new acpi_spinlock type for the OSL lock
    interfaces. This allows the type to be customized to
    the host OS for improved efficiency (since a spinlock is
    usually a very small object.)

    Implemented support for "ignored" bits in the ACPI
    registers. According to the ACPI specification, these
    bits should be preserved when writing the registers via
    a read/modify/write cycle. There are 3 bits preserved
    in this manner: PM1_CONTROL[0] (SCI_EN), PM1_CONTROL[9],
    and PM1_STATUS[11].
    http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3691

    Implemented the initial deployment of new OSL mutex
    interfaces. Since some host operating systems have
    separate mutex and semaphore objects, this feature was
    requested. The base code now uses mutexes (and the new
    mutex interfaces) wherever a binary semaphore was used
    previously. However, for the current release, the mutex
    interfaces are defined as macros to map them to the
    existing semaphore interfaces.

    Fixed several problems with the support for the control
    method SyncLevel parameter. The SyncLevel now works
    according to the ACPI specification and in concert with the
    Mutex SyncLevel parameter, since the current SyncLevel is
    a property of the executing thread. Mutual exclusion for
    control methods is now implemented with a mutex instead
    of a semaphore.

    Fixed three instances of the use of the C shift operator
    in the bitfield support code (exfldio.c) to avoid the use
    of a shift value larger than the target data width. The
    behavior of C compilers is undefined in this case and can
    cause unpredictable results, and therefore the case must
    be detected and avoided. (Fiodor Suietov)

    Added an info message whenever an SSDT or OEM table
    is loaded dynamically via the Load() or LoadTable()
    ASL operators. This should improve debugging capability
    since it will show exactly what tables have been loaded
    (beyond the tables present in the RSDT/XSDT.)

  • Removed a device initialization optimization introduced in
    20051216 where the _STA method was not run unless an _INI
    was also present for the same device. This optimization
    could cause problems because it could allow _INI methods
    to be run within a not-present device subtree (If a
    not-present device had no _INI, _STA would not be run,
    the not-present status would not be discovered, and the
    children of the device would be incorrectly traversed.)

    Implemented a new _STA optimization where namespace
    subtrees that do not contain _INI are identified and
    ignored during device initialization. Selectively running
    _STA can significantly improve boot time on large machines
    (with assistance from Len Brown.)

    Implemented support for the device initialization case
    where the returned _STA flags indicate a device not-present
    but functioning. In this case, _INI is not run, but the
    device children are examined for presence, as per the
    ACPI specification.

    Implemented an additional change to the IndexField support
    in order to conform to MS behavior. The value written to
    the Index Register is not simply a byte offset, it is a
    byte offset in units of the access width of the parent
    Index Field. (Fiodor Suietov)

    Defined and deployed a new OSL interface,
    acpi_os_validate_address(). This interface is called during
    the creation of all AML operation regions, and allows
    the host OS to exert control over what addresses it will
    allow the AML code to access. Operation Regions whose
    addresses are disallowed will cause a runtime exception
    when they are actually accessed (will not affect or abort
    table loading.)

    Defined and deployed a new OSL interface,
    acpi_os_validate_interface(). This interface allows the host OS
    to match the various "optional" interface/behavior strings
    for the _OSI predefined control method as appropriate
    (with assistance from Bjorn Helgaas.)

    Restructured and corrected various problems in the
    exception handling code paths within DsCallControlMethod
    and DsTerminateControlMethod in dsmethod (with assistance
    from Takayoshi Kochi.)

    Modified the Linux source converter to ignore quoted string
    literals while converting identifiers from mixed to lower
    case. This will correct problems with the disassembler
    and other areas where such strings must not be modified.

    The ACPI_FUNCTION_* macros no longer require quotes around
    the function name. This allows the Linux source converter
    to convert the names, now that the converter ignores
    quoted strings.

  • Implemented header file support for the following
    additional ACPI tables: ASF!, BOOT, CPEP, DBGP, MCFG, SPCR,
    SPMI, TCPA, and WDRT. With this support, all current and
    known ACPI tables are now defined in the ACPICA headers and
    are available for use by device drivers and other software.

    Implemented support to allow tables that contain ACPI
    names with invalid characters to be loaded. Previously,
    this would cause the table load to fail, but since
    there are several known cases of such tables on
    existing machines, this change was made to enable
    ACPI support for them. Also, this matches the
    behavior of the Microsoft ACPI implementation.

    Fixed a couple regressions introduced during the memory
    optimization in the 20060317 release. The namespace
    node definition required additional reorganization and
    an internal datatype that had been changed to 8-bit was
    restored to 32-bit. (Valery Podrezov)

    Fixed a problem where a null pointer passed to
    acpi_ut_delete_generic_state() could be passed through
    to acpi_os_release_object which is unexpected. Such
    null pointers are now trapped and ignored, matching
    the behavior of the previous implementation before the
    deployment of acpi_os_release_object(). (Valery Podrezov,
    Fiodor Suietov)

    Fixed a memory mapping leak during the deletion of
    a SystemMemory operation region where a cached memory
    mapping was not deleted. This became a noticeable problem
    for operation regions that are defined within frequently
    used control methods. (Dana Meyers)

    Reorganized the ACPI table header files into two main
    files: one for the ACPI tables consumed by the ACPICA core,
    and another for the miscellaneous ACPI tables that are
    consumed by the drivers and other software. The various
    FADT definitions were merged into one common section and
    three different tables (ACPI 1.0, 1.0+, and 2.0)

  • 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.)

  • Tagged all external interfaces to the subsystem with the
    new ACPI_EXPORT_SYMBOL macro. This macro can be defined
    as necessary to assist kernel integration. For Linux,
    the macro resolves to the EXPORT_SYMBOL macro. The default
    definition is NULL.

    Added the ACPI_THREAD_ID type for the return value from
    acpi_os_get_thread_id(). This allows the host to define this
    as necessary to simplify kernel integration. The default
    definition is ACPI_NATIVE_UINT.

    Valery Podrezov fixed two interpreter problems related
    to error processing, the deletion of objects, and placing
    invalid pointers onto the internal operator result stack.

    Increased the reference count threshold where a warning is
    emitted for large reference counts in order to eliminate
    unnecessary warnings on systems with large namespaces
    (especially 64-bit.) Increased the value from 0x400
    to 0x800.

    Due to universal disagreement as to the meaning of the
    'c' in the calloc() function, the ACPI_MEM_CALLOCATE
    macro has been renamed to ACPI_ALLOCATE_ZEROED so that the
    purpose of the interface is 'clear'. ACPI_MEM_ALLOCATE and
    ACPI_MEM_FREE are renamed to ACPI_ALLOCATE and ACPI_FREE.

  • Implemented support in the Resource Manager to allow
    unresolved namestring references within resource package
    objects for the _PRT method. This support is in addition
    to the previously implemented unresolved reference
    support within the AML parser. If the interpreter slack
    mode is enabled (true on Linux unless acpi=strict),
    these unresolved references will be passed through
    to the caller as a NULL package entry.

    Implemented and deployed new macros and functions for
    error and warning messages across the subsystem. These
    macros are simpler and generate less code than their
    predecessors. The new macros ACPI_ERROR, ACPI_EXCEPTION,
    ACPI_WARNING, and ACPI_INFO replace the ACPI_REPORT_*
    macros.

    a full 2-byte EndTag cause a fatal exception.

  • 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.

  • Fixed a problem in the AML parser where the method thread
    count could be decremented below zero if any errors
    occurred during the method parse phase. This should
    eliminate AE_AML_METHOD_LIMIT exceptions seen on some
    machines. This also fixed a related regression with the
    mechanism that detects and corrects methods that cannot
    properly handle reentrancy (related to the deployment of
    the new OwnerId mechanism.)

    Eliminated the pre-parsing of control methods (to detect
    errors) during table load. Related to the problem above,
    this was causing unwind issues if any errors occurred
    during the parse, and it seemed to be overkill. A table
    load should not be aborted if there are problems with
    any single control method, thus rendering this feature
    rather pointless.

    Fixed a problem with the new table-driven resource manager
    where an internal buffer overflow could occur for small
    resource templates.

    Implemented a new external interface, acpi_get_vendor_resource()
    This interface will find and return a vendor-defined
    resource descriptor within a _CRS or _PRS
    method via an ACPI 3.0 UUID match. (from Bjorn Helgaas)

    Removed the length limit (200) on string objects as
    per the upcoming ACPI 3.0A specification. This affects
    the following areas of the interpreter: 1) any implicit
    conversion of a Buffer to a String, 2) a String object
    result of the ASL Concatentate operator, 3) the String
    object result of the ASL ToString operator.

  • Implemented support for the EM64T and other x86_64
    processors. This essentially entails recognizing
    that these processors support non-aligned memory
    transfers. Previously, all 64-bit processors were assumed
    to lack hardware support for non-aligned transfers.

    Completed conversion of the Resource Manager to nearly
    full table-driven operation. Specifically, the resource
    conversion code (convert AML to internal format and the
    reverse) and the debug code to dump internal resource
    descriptors are fully table-driven, reducing code and data
    size and improving maintainability.

    The OSL interfaces for Acquire and Release Lock now use a
    64-bit flag word on 64-bit processors instead of a fixed
    32-bit word. (Alexey Starikovskiy)

    Implemented support within the resource conversion code
    for the Type-Specific byte within the various ACPI 3.0
    *WordSpace macros.

    Fixed some issues within the resource conversion code for
    the type-specific flags for both Memory and I/O address
    resource descriptors. For Memory, implemented support
    for the MTP and TTP flags. For I/O, split the TRS and TTP
    flags into two separate fields.

  • Implemented support to ignore an attempt to install/load
    a particular ACPI table more than once. Apparently there
    exists BIOS code that repeatedly attempts to load the same
    SSDT upon certain events. Thanks to Venkatesh Pallipadi.

    Restructured the main interface to the AML parser in
    order to correctly handle all exceptional conditions. This
    will prevent leakage of the OwnerId resource and should
    eliminate the AE_OWNER_ID_LIMIT exceptions seen on some

  • The use of the CPU stack in the debug version of the
    subsystem has been considerably reduced. Previously, a
    debug structure was declared in every function that used
    the debug macros. This structure has been removed in
    favor of declaring the individual elements as parameters
    to the debug functions. This reduces the cumulative stack
    use during nested execution of ACPI function calls at the
    cost of a small increase in the code size of the debug
    version of the subsystem. With assistance from Alexey
    Starikovskiy and Len Brown.

    Added the ACPI_GET_FUNCTION_NAME macro to enable the
    compiler-dependent headers to define a macro that will
    return the current function name at runtime (such as
    __FUNCTION__ or _func_, etc.) The function name is used
    by the debug trace output. If ACPI_GET_FUNCTION_NAME
    is not defined in the compiler-dependent header, the
    function name is saved on the CPU stack (one pointer per
    function.) This mechanism is used because apparently there
    exists no standard ANSI-C defined macro that that returns
    the function name.

    Alexey Starikovskiy redesigned and reimplemented the
    "Owner ID" mechanism used to track namespace objects
    created/deleted by ACPI tables and control method
    execution. A bitmap is now used to allocate and free the
    IDs, thus solving the wraparound problem present in the
    previous implementation. The size of the namespace node
    descriptor was reduced by 2 bytes as a result.

    Removed the UINT32_BIT and UINT16_BIT types that were used
    for the bitfield flag definitions within the headers for
    the predefined ACPI tables. These have been replaced by
    UINT8_BIT in order to increase the code portability of
    the subsystem. If the use of UINT8 remains a problem,
    we may be forced to eliminate bitfields entirely because
    of a lack of portability.

    Alexey Starikovksiy enhanced the performance of
    acpi_ut_update_object_reference. This is a frequently used
    function and this improvement increases the performance
    of the entire subsystem.

    Alexey Starikovskiy fixed several possible memory leaks
    and the inverse - premature object deletion.

  • 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 */

  • 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.

    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!
