2008-07-18Revert "Fix FADT parsing"Andi Kleen
This reverts commit 01a5bba576b9364b33f61f0cd9fa70c2cf5535e2. There seem to be some FADTs around with bogus information in the v2 fields. Revert this patch for now until this can be properly resolved. Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen <ak@linux.intel.com>
2008-07-16Fix FADT parsingJan Beulich
The (1.0 inherited) separate length fields in the FADT are byte granular. Further, PM1a/b may have distinct lengths and live in distinct address spaces. acpi_tb_convert_fadt() should account for all of these conditions. Apart from these changes I'm puzzled by the fact that, not just for acpi_gbl_xpm1{a,b}_enable, acpi_hw_low_level_{read,write}() get an explicit size passed rather than using the size found in the passed GAS. What happens on a platform that defines PM1{a,b} wider than 16 bits? Of course, acpi_hw_low_level_{read,write}() at present are entirely un-prepared to deal with sizes other than 8, 16, or 32, not to speak of a non-zero bit_offset or access_width...

2008-06-11ACPICA: Ignore ACPI table signature for Load() operatorBob Moore
Only "SSDT" is acceptable to the ACPI spec, but tables are seen with OEMx and null sigs. Therefore, signature validation is worthless.

2007-12-14ACPI: tables: complete searching upon RSDP w/ bad checksum.Len Brown
ACPI tables follow a tree structure in memory. The root of the tree is the RSDP (Root System Description Pointer). To find the RSDP, the OS searches for the signature "RSD PTR " in well known physical memory locations. Then the OS computes a table checksum to verify that the signature is really part of a valid table header. Some systems have a proper signature but an invalid checksum; followed elsewhere by a proper signature with valid checksum. http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9444 The Linux RSDP scanning code bailed out on those systems and as a result they booted with ACPI disabled. Fix this by deleting the Linux RSDP scanning code and plugging in the ACPICA RSDP scanning code. Signed-off-by: Len Brown <len.brown@intel.com>

2007-08-24ACPI: Validate XSDT, use RSDT if XSDT failsZhao Yakui
ACPI 1.0 used an RSDT with 32-bit physical addresses. ACPI 2.0 adds an XSDT with 32-bit physical addresses. An ACPI 2.0 aware OS is supposed to use the XSDT (when present) instead of the RSDT. However, several systems have failed because the XSDT contains NULL entries -- while it is missing pointers to needed tables, such as SSDTs. When we find an XSDT with NULL entries, discard it and use the ACPI 1.0 RSDT instead. http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8630 Signed-off-by: Zhao Yakui <yakui.zhao@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Len Brown <len.brown@intel.com>

2007-04-28ACPICA: clear fields reserved before FADT r3Bob Moore
Linux-2.6.21 stopped booting on a P4/HT because Linux wrote the FADT.CST_CNT value to the SMI_CMD. Apparently this stumbled over some SMM instability, such as confusing SMM when invoking it from cpu1. Linux did this because even though the r2 FADT reserves the CST_CNT field, this BIOS set that field and Linux used it. Turns out that up through 2.6.20 we explicitly cleared cst_control for r2 FADTs. So here we go back to doing that, plus also clear some additional fields that are reserved until FADT r3. http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8346 Signed-off-by: Bob Moore <robert.moore@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Len Brown <len.brown@intel.com>

2006-12-20ACPI: Add support for acpi_load_table/acpi_unload_table_idJohn Keller
Make acpi_load_table() available for use by removing it from the #ifdef ACPI_FUTURE_USAGE. Also add a new routine used to unload an ACPI table of a given type and "id" - acpi_unload_table_id(). The implementation of this new routine was almost a direct copy of existing routine acpi_unload_table() - only difference being that it only removes a specific table id instead of ALL tables of a given type. The SN hotplug driver (sgi_hotplug.c) now uses both of these interfaces to dynamically load and unload SSDT ACPI tables. Also, a few other ACPI routines now used by the SN hotplug driver are exported (since the driver can be a loadable module): acpi_ns_map_handle_to_node acpi_ns_convert_entry_to_handle acpi_ns_get_next_node Signed-off-by: Aaron Young <ayoung@sgi.com> Cc: Greg KH <greg@kroah.com> Cc: "Luck, Tony" <tony.luck@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Len Brown <len.brown@intel.com>

Added the ACPI_PACKED_POINTERS_NOT_SUPPORTED macro to support C compilers that do not allow the initialization of address pointers within packed structures - even though the hardware itself may support misaligned transfers. Some of the debug data structures are packed by default to minimize size. Added an error message for the case where acpi_os_get_thread_id() returns zero. A non-zero value is required by the core ACPICA code to ensure the proper operation of AML mutexes and recursive control methods. The DSDT is now the only ACPI table that determines whether the AML interpreter is in 32-bit or 64-bit mode. Not really a functional change, but the hooks for per-table 32/64 switching have been removed from the code. A clarification to the ACPI specification is forthcoming in ACPI 3.0B. Fixed a possible leak of an Owner ID in the error path of tbinstal.c acpi_tb_init_table_descriptor() and migrated all table OwnerID deletion to a single place in acpi_tb_uninstall_table() to correct possible leaks when using the acpi_tb_delete_tables_by_type() interface (with assistance from Lance Ortiz.) Fixed a problem with Serialized control methods where the semaphore associated with the method could be over-signaled after multiple method invocations.

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.

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.

2006-06-14ACPI: ACPICA 20060331Bob Moore
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) Signed-off-by: Bob Moore <robert.moore@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Len Brown <len.brown@intel.com>
