  • acpi.h now includes only the "public" acpica headers. All other
    acpica headers are "private" and should not be included by acpica
    users. One new file, accommon.h is used to include the commonly
    used private headers for acpica code generation. Future plans
    are to move all private headers to a new subdirectory.

  • The ACPI FADT table includes an ASPM control bit. If the bit is set, do
    not enable ASPM since it may indicate that the platform doesn't actually
    support the feature.

  • 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    this appeared to be useless and has been replaced by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 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.
    https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=147621

    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)

  • 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.

  • Implemented optional support to allow unresolved names
    within ASL Package objects. A null object is inserted in
    the package when a named reference cannot be located in
    the current namespace. Enabled via the interpreter slack
    flag which Linux has enabled by default (acpi=strict
    to disable slack). This should eliminate AE_NOT_FOUND
    exceptions seen on machines that contain such code.

    Implemented an optimization to the initialization
    sequence that can improve boot time. During ACPI device
    initialization, the _STA method is now run if and only
    if the _INI method exists. The _STA method is used to
    determine if the device is present; An _INI can only be
    run if _STA returns present, but it is a waste of time to
    run the _STA method if the _INI does not exist. (Prototype
    and assistance from Dong Wei)

    Implemented use of the C99 uintptr_t for the pointer
    casting macros if it is available in the current
    compiler. Otherwise, the default (void *) cast is used
    as before.

    Fixed some possible memory leaks found within the
    execution path of the Break, Continue, If, and CreateField
    operators. (Valery Podrezov)

    Fixed a problem introduced in the 20051202 release where
    an exception is generated during method execution if a
    control method attempts to declare another method.

  • 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.

  • 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!
