笔记本的风扇控制 ---------------------------------------- 09 November 2006. Summary of changes for version 20061109: 1) ACPI CA Core Subsystem: Optimized the Load ASL operator in the case where the source operand is an operation region. Simply map the operation region memory, instead of performing a bytewise read. (Region must be of type SystemMemory, see below.) Fixed the Load ASL operator for the case where the source operand is a region field. A buffer object is also allowed as the source operand. BZ 480 Fixed a problem where the Load ASL operator allowed the source operand to be an operation region of any type. It is now restricted to regions of type SystemMemory, as per the ACPI specification. BZ 481 Additional cleanup and optimizations for the new Table Manager code. AcpiEnable will now fail if all of the required ACPI tables are not loaded (FADT, FACS, DSDT). BZ 477 Added #pragma pack(8/4) to acobject.h to ensure that the structures in this header are always compiled as aligned. The ACPI_OPERAND_OBJECT has been manually optimized to be aligned and will not work if it is byte-packed. Example Code and Data Size: These are the sizes for the OS- independent acpica.lib produced by the Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0 32- bit compiler. The debug version of the code includes the debug output trace mechanism and has a much larger code and data size. Previous Release: Non-Debug Version: 78.1K Code, 17.1K Data, 95.2K Total Debug Version: 155.4K Code, 63.1K Data, 218.5K Total Current Release: Non-Debug Version: 77.9K Code, 17.0K Data, 94.9K Total Debug Version: 155.2K Code, 63.1K Data, 218.3K Total 2) iASL Compiler/Disassembler and Tools: Fixed a problem where the presence of the _OSI predefined control method within complex expressions could cause an internal compiler error. AcpiExec: Implemented full region support for multiple address spaces. SpaceId is now part of the REGION object. BZ 429 ---------------------------------------- 11 October 2006. Summary of changes for version 20061011: 1) ACPI CA Core Subsystem: Completed an AML interpreter performance enhancement for control method execution. Previously a 2-pass parse/execution, control methods are now completely parsed and executed in a single pass. This improves overall interpreter performance by ~25%, reduces code size, and reduces CPU stack use. (Valery Podrezov + interpreter changes in version 20051202 that eliminated namespace loading during the pass one parse.) Implemented _CID support for PCI Root Bridge detection. If the _HID does not match the predefined PCI Root Bridge IDs, the _CID list (if present) is now obtained and also checked for an ID match. Implemented additional support for the PCI _ADR execution: upsearch until a device scope is found before executing _ADR. This allows PCI_Config operation regions to be declared locally within control methods underneath PCI device objects. Fixed a problem with a possible race condition between threads executing AcpiWalkNamespace and the AML interpreter. This condition was removed by modifying AcpiWalkNamespace to (by default) ignore all temporary namespace entries created during any concurrent control method execution. An additional namespace race condition is known to exist between AcpiWalkNamespace and the Load/Unload ASL operators and is still under investigation. Restructured the AML ParseLoop function, breaking it into several subfunctions in order to reduce CPU stack use and improve maintainability. (Mikhail Kouzmich) AcpiGetHandle: Fix for parameter validation to detect invalid combinations of prefix handle and pathname. BZ 478 Example Code and Data Size: These are the sizes for the OS- independent acpica.lib produced by the Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0 32- bit compiler. The debug version of the code includes the debug output trace mechanism and has a much larger code and data size. Previous Release: Non-Debug Version: 77.9K Code, 17.1K Data, 95.0K Total Debug Version: 154.6K Code, 63.0K Data, 217.6K Total Current Release: Non-Debug Version: 78.1K Code, 17.1K Data, 95.2K Total Debug Version: 155.4K Code, 63.1K Data, 218.5K Total 2) iASL Compiler/Disassembler and Tools: Ported the -g option (get local ACPI tables) to the new ACPICA Table Manager to restore original behavior. ---------------------------------------- 27 September 2006. Summary of changes for version 20060927: 1) ACPI CA Core Subsystem: Removed the "Flags" parameter from AcpiGetRegister and AcpiSetRegister. These functions now use a spinlock for mutual exclusion and the interrupt level indication flag is not needed. Fixed a problem with the Global Lock where the lock could appear to be obtained before it is actually obtained. The global lock semaphore was inadvertently created with one unit instead of zero units. (BZ 464) Fiodor Suietov. Fixed a possible memory leak and fault in AcpiExResolveObjectToValue during a read from a buffer or region field. (BZ 458) Fiodor Suietov. Example Code and Data Size: These are the sizes for the OS- independent acpica.lib produced by the Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0 32- bit compiler. The debug version of the code includes the debug output trace mechanism and has a much larger code and data size. Previous Release: Non-Debug Version: 77.9K Code, 17.1K Data, 95.0K Total Debug Version: 154.7K Code, 63.0K Data, 217.7K Total Current Release: Non-Debug Version: 77.9K Code, 17.1K Data, 95.0K Total Debug Version: 154.6K Code, 63.0K Data, 217.6K Total 2) iASL Compiler/Disassembler and Tools: Fixed a compilation problem with the pre-defined Resource Descriptor field names where an "object does not exist" error could be incorrectly generated if the parent ResourceTemplate pathname places the template within a different namespace scope than the current scope. (BZ 7212) Fixed a problem where the compiler could hang after syntax errors detected in an ElseIf construct. (BZ 453) Fixed a problem with the AmlFilename parameter to the DefinitionBlock() operator. An incorrect output filename was produced when this parameter was a null string (""). Now, the original input filename is used as the AML output filename, with an ".aml" extension. Implemented a generic batch command mode for the AcpiExec utility (execute any AML debugger command) (Valery Podrezov). ---------------------------------------- 12 September 2006. Summary of changes for version 20060912: 1) ACPI CA Core Subsystem: Enhanced the implementation of the "serialized mode" of the interpreter (enabled via the AcpiGbl_AllMethodsSerialized flag.) When this mode is specified, instead of creating a serialization semaphore per control method, the interpreter lock is simply no longer released before a blocking operation during control method execution. This effectively makes the AML Interpreter single- threaded. The overhead of a semaphore per-method is eliminated. Fixed a regression where an error was no longer emitted if a control method attempts to create 2 objects of the same name. This once again returns AE_ALREADY_EXISTS. When this exception occurs, it invokes the mechanism that will dynamically serialize the control method to possible prevent future errors. (BZ 440) Integrated a fix for a problem with PCI Express HID detection in the PCI Config Space setup procedure. (BZ 7145) Moved all FADT-related functions to a new file, tbfadt.c. Eliminated the AcpiHwInitialize function - the FADT registers are now validated when the table is loaded. Added two new warnings during FADT verification - 1) if the FADT is larger than the largest known FADT version, and 2) if there is a mismatch between a 32-bit block address and the 64-bit X counterpart (when both are non-zero.) Example Code and Data Size: These are the sizes for the OS- independent acpica.lib produced by the Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0 32- bit compiler. The debug version of the code includes the debug output trace mechanism and has a much larger code and data size. Previous Release: Non-Debug Version: 77.9K Code, 16.7K Data, 94.6K Total Debug Version: 154.9K Code, 62.6K Data, 217.5K Total Current Release: Non-Debug Version: 77.9K Code, 17.1K Data, 95.0K Total Debug Version: 154.7K Code, 63.0K Data, 217.7K Total 2) iASL Compiler/Disassembler and Tools: Fixed a problem with the implementation of the Switch() operator where the temporary variable was declared too close to the actual Switch, instead of at method level. This could cause a problem if the Switch() operator is within a while loop, causing an error on the second iteration. (BZ 460) Disassembler - fix for error emitted for unknown type for target of scope operator. Now, ignore it and continue. Disassembly of an FADT now verifies the input FADT and reports any errors found. Fix for proper disassembly of full-sized (ACPI 2.0) FADTs. Disassembly of raw data buffers with byte initialization data now prefixes each output line with the current buffer offset. Disassembly of ASF! table now includes all variable-length data fields at the end of some of the subtables. The disassembler now emits a comment if a buffer appears to be a ResourceTemplate, but cannot be disassembled as such because the EndTag does not appear at the very end of the buffer. AcpiExec - Added the "-t" command line option to enable the serialized mode of the AML interpreter. ---------------------------------------- 31 August 2006. Summary of changes for version 20060831: 1) ACPI CA Core Subsystem: Miscellaneous fixes for the Table Manager: - Correctly initialize internal common FADT for all 64-bit "X" fields - Fixed a couple table mapping issues during table load - Fixed a couple alignment issues for IA64 - Initialize input array to zero in AcpiInitializeTables - Additional parameter validation for AcpiGetTable, AcpiGetTableHeader, AcpiGetTableByIndex Change for GPE support: when a "wake" GPE is received, all wake GPEs are now immediately disabled to prevent the waking GPE from firing again and to prevent other wake GPEs from interrupting the wake process. Added the AcpiGpeCount global that tracks the number of processed GPEs, to be used for debugging systems with a large number of ACPI interrupts. Implemented support for the "DMAR" ACPI table (DMA Redirection Table) in both the ACPICA headers and the disassembler. Example Code and Data Size: These are the sizes for the OS- independent acpica.lib produced by the Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0 32- bit compiler. The debug version of the code includes the debug output trace mechanism and has a much larger code and data size. Previous Release: Non-Debug Version: 77.8K Code, 16.5K Data, 94.3K Total Debug Version: 154.6K Code, 62.3K Data, 216.9K Total Current Release: Non-Debug Version: 77.9K Code, 16.7K Data, 94.6K Total Debug Version: 154.9K Code, 62.6K Data, 217.5K Total 2) iASL Compiler/Disassembler and Tools: Disassembler support for the DMAR ACPI table. ---------------------------------------- 23 August 2006. Summary of changes for version 20060823: 1) ACPI CA Core Subsystem: The Table Manager component has been completely redesigned and reimplemented. The new design is much simpler, and reduces the overall code and data size of the kernel-resident ACPICA by approximately 5%. Also, it is now possible to obtain the ACPI tables very early during kernel initialization, even before dynamic memory management is initialized. (Alexey Starikovskiy, Fiodor Suietov, Bob Moore) Obsolete ACPICA interfaces: - AcpiGetFirmwareTable: Use AcpiGetTable instead (works at early kernel init time). - AcpiLoadTable: Not needed. - AcpiUnloadTable: Not needed. New ACPICA interfaces: - AcpiInitializeTables: Must be called before the table manager can be used. - AcpiReallocateRootTable: Used to transfer the root table to dynamically allocated memory after it becomes available. - AcpiGetTableByIndex: Allows the host to easily enumerate all ACPI tables in the RSDT/XSDT. Other ACPICA changes: - AcpiGetTableHeader returns the actual mapped table header, not a copy. Use AcpiOsUnmapMemory to free this mapping. - AcpiGetTable returns the actual mapped table. The mapping is managed internally and must not be deleted by the caller. Use of this interface causes no additional dynamic memory allocation. - AcpiFindRootPointer: Support for physical addressing has been eliminated, it appeared to be unused. - The interface to AcpiOsMapMemory has changed to be consistent with the other allocation interfaces. - The interface to AcpiOsGetRootPointer has changed to eliminate unnecessary parameters. - ACPI_PHYSICAL_ADDRESS is now 32 bits on 32-bit platforms, 64 bits on 64-bit platforms. Was previously 64 bits on all platforms. - The interface to the ACPI Global Lock acquire/release macros have changed slightly since ACPICA no longer keeps a local copy of the FACS with a constructed pointer to the actual global lock. Porting to the new table manager: - AcpiInitializeTables: Must be called once, and can be called anytime during the OS initialization process. It allows the host to specify an area of memory to be used to store the internal version of the RSDT/XSDT (root table). This allows the host to access ACPI tables before memory management is initialized and running. - AcpiReallocateRootTable: Can be called after memory management is running to copy the root table to a dynamically allocated array, freeing up the scratch memory specified in the call to AcpiInitializeTables. - AcpiSubsystemInitialize: This existing interface is independent of the Table Manager, and does not have to be called before the Table Manager can be used, it only must be called before the rest of ACPICA can be used. - ACPI Tables: Some changes have been made to the names and structure of the actbl.h and actbl1.h header files and may require changes to existing code. For example, bitfields have been completely removed because of their lack of portability across C compilers. - Update interfaces to the Global Lock acquire/release macros if local versions are used. (see acwin.h) Obsolete files: tbconvrt.c, tbget.c, tbgetall.c, tbrsdt.c New files: tbfind.c Example Code and Data Size: These are the sizes for the OS- independent acpica.lib produced by the Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0 32- bit compiler. The debug version of the code includes the debug output trace mechanism and has a much larger code and data size. Previous Release: Non-Debug Version: 80.7K Code, 17.9K Data, 98.6K Total Debug Version: 161.0K Code, 65.1K Data, 226.1K Total Current Release: Non-Debug Version: 77.8K Code, 16.5K Data, 94.3K Total Debug Version: 154.6K Code, 62.3K Data, 216.9K Total 2) iASL Compiler/Disassembler and Tools: No changes for this release. ---------------------------------------- 21 July 2006. Summary of changes for version 20060721: 1) ACPI CA Core Subsystem: The full source code for the ASL test suite used to validate the iASL compiler and the ACPICA core subsystem is being released with the ACPICA source for the first time. The source is contained in a separate package and consists of over 1100 files that exercise all ASL/AML operators. The package should appear on the Intel/ACPI web site shortly. (Valery Podrezov, Fiodor Suietov) Completed a new design and implementation for support of the ACPI Global Lock. On the OS side, the global lock is now treated as a standard AML mutex. Previously, multiple OS threads could "acquire" the global lock simultaneously. However, this could cause the BIOS to be starved out of the lock - especially in cases such as the Embedded Controller driver where there is a tight coupling between the OS and the BIOS. Implemented an optimization for the ACPI Global Lock interrupt mechanism. The Global Lock interrupt handler no longer queues the execution of a separate thread to signal the global lock semaphore. Instead, the semaphore is signaled directly from the interrupt handler. Implemented support within the AML interpreter for package objects that contain a larger AML length (package list length) than the package element count. In this case, the length of the package is truncated to match the package element count. Some BIOS code apparently modifies the package length on the fly, and this change supports this behavior. Provides compatibility with the MS AML interpreter. (With assistance from Fiodor Suietov) Implemented a temporary fix for the BankValue parameter of a Bank Field to support all constant values, now including the Zero and One opcodes. Evaluation of this parameter must eventually be converted to a full TermArg evaluation. A not-implemented error is now returned (temporarily) for non-constant values for this parameter. Fixed problem reports (Fiodor Suietov) integrated: - Fix for premature object deletion after CopyObject on Operation Region (BZ 350) Example Code and Data Size: These are the sizes for the OS- independent acpica.lib produced by the Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0 32- bit compiler. The debug version of the code includes the debug output trace mechanism and has a much larger code and data size. Previous Release: Non-Debug Version: 80.7K Code, 18.0K Data, 98.7K Total Debug Version: 160.9K Code, 65.1K Data, 226.0K Total Current Release: Non-Debug Version: 80.7K Code, 17.9K Data, 98.6K Total Debug Version: 161.0K Code, 65.1K Data, 226.1K Total 2) iASL Compiler/Disassembler and Tools: No changes for this release. ---------------------------------------- 07 July 2006. Summary of changes for version 20060707: 1) ACPI CA Core Subsystem: 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 AcpiOsGetThreadId() 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 OwnerID in the error path of AcpiTbInitTableDescriptor (tbinstal.c), and migrated all table OwnerID deletion to a single place in AcpiTbUninstallTable to correct possible leaks when using the AcpiTbDeleteTablesByType 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. Fixed two issues with the locking of the internal namespace data structure. Both the Unload() operator and AcpiUnloadTable interface now lock the namespace during the namespace deletion associated with the table unload (with assistance from Linn Crosetto.) Fixed problem reports (Valery Podrezov) integrated: - Eliminate unnecessary memory allocation for CreateXxxxField (BZ 5426) Fixed problem reports (Fiodor Suietov) integrated: - Incomplete cleanup branches in AcpiTbGetTableRsdt (BZ 369) - On Address Space handler deletion, needless deactivation call (BZ 374) - AcpiRemoveAddressSpaceHandler: validate Device handle parameter (BZ 375) - Possible memory leak, Notify sub-objects of Processor, Power, ThermalZone (BZ 376) - AcpiRemoveAddressSpaceHandler: validate Handler parameter (BZ 378) - Minimum Length of RSDT should be validated (BZ 379) - AcpiRemoveNotifyHandler: return AE_NOT_EXIST if Processor Obj has no Handler (BZ (380) - AcpiUnloadTable: return AE_NOT_EXIST if no table of specified type loaded (BZ 381) Example Code and Data Size: These are the sizes for the OS- independent acpica.lib produced by the Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0 32- bit compiler. The debug version of the code includes the debug output trace mechanism and has a much larger code and data size. Previous Release: Non-Debug Version: 80.5K Code, 17.8K Data, 98.3K Total Debug Version: 160.8K Code, 64.8K Data, 225.6K Total Current Release: Non-Debug Version: 80.7K Code, 17.9K Data, 98.6K Total Debug Version: 161.0K Code, 65.1K Data, 226.1K Total 2) iASL Compiler/Disassembler and Tools: Fixed problem reports: Compiler segfault when ASL contains a long (>1024) String declaration (BZ 436) ---------------------------------------- 23 June 2006. Summary of changes for version 20060623: 1) ACPI CA Core Subsystem: 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]. 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. Therefore, no OSL changes are required at this time. (See acpiosxf.h) 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.) Example Code and Data Size: These are the sizes for the OS- independent acpica.lib produced by the Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0 32- bit compiler. The debug version of the code includes the debug output trace mechanism and has a much larger code and data size.

Summary of changes for version 20060608: 1) ACPI CA Core Subsystem: Converted the locking mutex used for the ACPI hardware to a spinlock. This change should eliminate all problems caused by attempting to acquire a semaphore at interrupt level, and it means that all ACPICA external interfaces that directly access the ACPI hardware can be safely called from interrupt level. OSL code that implements the semaphore interfaces should be able to eliminate any workarounds for being called at interrupt level. Fixed a regression introduced in 20060526 where the ACPI device initialization could be prematurely aborted with an AE_NOT_FOUND if a device did not have an optional _INI method. Fixed an IndexField issue where a write to the Data Register should be limited in size to the AccessSize (width) of the IndexField itself. (BZ 433, Fiodor Suietov) Fixed problem reports (Valery Podrezov) integrated: - Allow store of ThermalZone objects to Debug object (BZ 5369/5370) Fixed problem reports (Fiodor Suietov) integrated: - AcpiGetTableHeader doesn't handle multiple instances correctly (BZ 364) Removed four global mutexes that were obsolete and were no longer being used. Example Code and Data Size: These are the sizes for the OS- independent acpica.lib produced by the Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0 32- bit compiler. The debug version of the code includes the debug output trace mechanism and has a much larger code and data size. Previous Release: Non-Debug Version: 80.0K Code, 17.7K Data, 97.7K Total Debug Version: 160.3K Code, 64.9K Data, 225.2K Total Current Release: Non-Debug Version: 80.0K Code, 17.6K Data, 97.6K Total Debug Version: 160.2K Code, 64.7K Data, 224.9K Total 2) iASL Compiler/Disassembler and Tools: Fixed a fault when using -g option (get tables from registry) on Windows machines. Fixed problem reports integrated: - Generate error if CreateField NumBits parameter is zero. (BZ 405) - Fault if Offset/Length in Field unit is very large (BZ 432, Fiodor Suietov) - Global table revision override (-r) is ignored (BZ 413) ---------------------------------------- 26 May 2006. Summary of changes for version 20060526: 1) ACPI CA Core Subsystem: Restructured, flattened, and simplified the internal interfaces for namespace object evaluation - resulting in smaller code, less CPU stack use, and fewer interfaces. (With assistance from Mikhail Kouzmich) Fixed a problem with the CopyObject operator where the first parameter was not typed correctly for the parser, interpreter, compiler, and disassembler. Caused various errors and unexpected behavior. Fixed a problem where a ShiftLeft or ShiftRight of more than 64 bits produced incorrect results with some C compilers. Since the behavior of C compilers when the shift value is larger than the datatype width is apparently not well defined, the interpreter now detects this condition and simply returns zero as expected in all such cases. (BZ 395) Fixed problem reports (Valery Podrezov) integrated: - Update String-to-Integer conversion to match ACPI 3.0A spec (BZ 5329) - Allow interpreter to handle nested method declarations (BZ 5361) Fixed problem reports (Fiodor Suietov) integrated: - AcpiTerminate doesn't free debug memory allocation list objects (BZ 355) - After Core Subsystem shutdown, AcpiSubsystemStatus returns AE_OK (BZ 356) - AcpiOsUnmapMemory for RSDP can be invoked inconsistently (BZ 357) - Resource Manager should return AE_TYPE for non-device objects (BZ 358) - Incomplete cleanup branch in AcpiNsEvaluateRelative (BZ 359) - Use AcpiOsFree instead of ACPI_FREE in AcpiRsSetSrsMethodData (BZ 360) - Incomplete cleanup branch in AcpiPsParseAml (BZ 361) - Incomplete cleanup branch in AcpiDsDeleteWalkState (BZ 362) - AcpiGetTableHeader returns AE_NO_ACPI_TABLES until DSDT is loaded (BZ 365) - Status of the Global Initialization Handler call not used (BZ 366) - Incorrect object parameter to Global Initialization Handler (BZ 367) Example Code and Data Size: These are the sizes for the OS- independent acpica.lib produced by the Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0 32- bit compiler. The debug version of the code includes the debug output trace mechanism and has a much larger code and data size. Previous Release: Non-Debug Version: 79.8K Code, 17.7K Data, 97.5K Total Debug Version: 160.5K Code, 65.1K Data, 225.6K Total Current Release: Non-Debug Version: 80.0K Code, 17.7K Data, 97.7K Total Debug Version: 160.3K Code, 64.9K Data, 225.2K Total 2) iASL Compiler/Disassembler and Tools: Modified the parser to allow the names IO, DMA, and IRQ to be used as namespace identifiers with no collision with existing resource descriptor macro names. This provides compatibility with other ASL compilers and is most useful for disassembly/recompilation of existing tables without parse errors. (With assistance from Thomas Renninger) Disassembler: fixed an incorrect disassembly problem with the DataTableRegion and CopyObject operators. Fixed a possible fault during disassembly of some Alias operators. ---------------------------------------- 12 May 2006. Summary of changes for version 20060512: 1) ACPI CA Core Subsystem: Replaced the AcpiOsQueueForExecution interface with a new interface named AcpiOsExecute. 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 host 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 BZ #5534, and will require changes to all existing OS interface layers. (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, BZ #6514. (Fiodor Suietov) 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) Example Code and Data Size: These are the sizes for the OS- independent acpica.lib produced by the Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0 32- bit compiler. The debug version of the code includes the debug output trace mechanism and has a much larger code and data size. Previous Release: Non-Debug Version: 79.7K Code, 17.7K Data, 97.4K Total Debug Version: 160.1K Code, 65.2K Data, 225.3K Total Current Release: Non-Debug Version: 79.8K Code, 17.7K Data, 97.5K Total Debug Version: 160.5K Code, 65.1K Data, 225.6K Total 2) iASL Compiler/Disassembler and Tools: Disassembler: Implemented support to cross reference the internal namespace and automatically generate ASL External() statements for symbols not defined within the current table being disassembled. This will simplify the disassembly and recompilation of interdependent tables such as SSDTs since these statements will no longer have to be added manually. Disassembler: Implemented experimental support to automatically detect invocations of external control methods and generate appropriate External() statements. This is problematic because the AML cannot be correctly parsed until the number of arguments for each control method is known. Currently, standalone method invocations and invocations as the source operand of a Store() statement are supported. Disassembler: Implemented support for the ASL pseudo-operators LNotEqual, LLessEqual, and LGreaterEqual. Previously disassembled as LNot(LEqual()), LNot(LGreater()), and LNot(LLess()), this makes the disassembled ASL code more readable and likely closer to the original ASL source. ---------------------------------------- 21 April 2006. Summary of changes for version 20060421: 1) ACPI CA Core Subsystem: 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, AcpiOsValidateAddress. 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.) See oswinxf or osunixxf for an example implementation. Defined and deployed a new OSL interface, AcpiOsValidateInterface. 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.) See oswinxf or osunixxf for an example implementation. 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. Example Code and Data Size: These are the sizes for the OS- independent acpica.lib produced by the Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0 32- bit compiler. The debug version of the code includes the debug output trace mechanism and has a much larger code and data size. Previous Release: Non-Debug Version: 81.1K Code, 17.7K Data, 98.8K Total Debug Version: 158.9K Code, 64.9K Data, 223.8K Total Current Release: Non-Debug Version: 79.7K Code, 17.7K Data, 97.4K Total Debug Version: 160.1K Code, 65.2K Data, 225.3K Total 2) iASL Compiler/Disassembler and Tools: Implemented 3 new warnings for iASL, and implemented multiple warning levels (w2 flag). 1) Ignored timeouts: If the TimeoutValue parameter to Wait or Acquire is not WAIT_FOREVER (0xFFFF) and the code does not examine the return value to check for the possible timeout, a warning is issued. 2) Useless operators: If an ASL operator does not specify an optional target operand and it also does not use the function return value from the operator, a warning is issued since the operator effectively does nothing. 3) Unreferenced objects: If a namespace object is created, but never referenced, a warning is issued. This is a warning level 2 since there are cases where this is ok, such as when a secondary table is loaded that uses the unreferenced objects. Even so, care is taken to only flag objects that don't look like they will ever be used. For example, the reserved methods (starting with an underscore) are usually not referenced because it is expected that the OS will invoke them. ---------------------------------------- 31 March 2006. Summary of changes for version 20060331: 1) ACPI CA Core Subsystem: 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 AcpiUtDeleteGenericState could be passed through to AcpiOsReleaseObject which is unexpected. Such null pointers are now trapped and ignored, matching the behavior of the previous implementation before the deployment of AcpiOsReleaseObject. (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) Example Code and Data Size: These are the sizes for the OS- independent acpica.lib produced by the Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0 32- bit compiler. The debug version of the code includes the debug output trace mechanism and has a much larger code and data size. Previous Release: Non-Debug Version: 80.9K Code, 17.7K Data, 98.6K Total Debug Version: 158.7K Code, 64.8K Data, 223.5K Total Current Release: Non-Debug Version: 81.1K Code, 17.7K Data, 98.8K Total Debug Version: 158.9K Code, 64.9K Data, 223.8K Total 2) iASL Compiler/Disassembler and Tools: Disassembler: Implemented support to decode and format all non-AML ACPI tables (tables other than DSDTs and SSDTs.) This includes the new tables added to the ACPICA headers, therefore all current and known ACPI tables are supported. Disassembler: The change to allow ACPI names with invalid characters also enables the disassembly of such tables. Invalid characters within names are changed to '*' to make the name printable; the iASL compiler will still generate an error for such names, however, since this is an invalid ACPI character. Implemented an option for AcpiXtract (-a) to extract all tables found in the input file. The default invocation extracts only the DSDTs and SSDTs. Fixed a couple of gcc generation issues for iASL and AcpiExec and added a makefile for the AcpiXtract utility. ---------------------------------------- 17 March 2006. Summary of changes for version 20060317: 1) ACPI CA Core Subsystem: 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.) Code and Data Size: These are the sizes for the acpica.lib produced by the Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0 32-bit compiler. The values do not include any ACPI driver or OSPM code. The debug version of the code includes the debug output trace mechanism and has a much larger code and data size. Note that these values will vary depending on the efficiency of the compiler and the compiler options used during generation. Previous Release: Non-Debug Version: 81.1K Code, 17.8K Data, 98.9K Total Debug Version: 161.6K Code, 65.7K Data, 227.3K Total Current Release: Non-Debug Version: 80.9K Code, 17.7K Data, 98.6K Total Debug Version: 158.7K Code, 64.8K Data, 223.5K Total 2) iASL Compiler/Disassembler and Tools: Implemented an ANSI C version of the acpixtract utility. This version will automatically extract the DSDT and all SSDTs from the input acpidump text file and dump the binary output to separate files. It can also display a summary of the input file including the headers for each table found and will extract any single ACPI table, with any signature. (See source/tools/acpixtract) ---------------------------------------- 10 March 2006. Summary of changes for version 20060310: 1) ACPI CA Core Subsystem: 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 AcpiOsGetThreadId. This allows the host to define this as necessary to simplify kernel integration. The default definition is ACPI_NATIVE_UINT. Fixed two interpreter problems related to error processing, the deletion of objects, and placing invalid pointers onto the internal operator result stack. BZ 6028, 6151 (Valery Podrezov) 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. Code and Data Size: These are the sizes for the acpica.lib produced by the Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0 32-bit compiler. The values do not include any ACPI driver or OSPM code. The debug version of the code includes the debug output trace mechanism and has a much larger code and data size. Note that these values will vary depending on the efficiency of the compiler and the compiler options used during generation. Previous Release: Non-Debug Version: 81.0K Code, 17.8K Data, 98.8K Total Debug Version: 161.4K Code, 65.7K Data, 227.1K Total Current Release: Non-Debug Version: 81.1K Code, 17.8K Data, 98.9K Total Debug Version: 161.6K Code, 65.7K Data, 227.3K Total 2) iASL Compiler/Disassembler: Disassembler: implemented support for symbolic resource descriptor references. If a CreateXxxxField operator references a fixed offset within a resource descriptor, a name is assigned to the descriptor and the offset is translated to the appropriate resource tag and pathname. The addition of this support brings the disassembled code very close to the original ASL source code and helps eliminate run-time errors when the disassembled code is modified (and recompiled) in such a way as to invalidate the original fixed offsets. Implemented support for a Descriptor Name as the last parameter to the ASL Register() macro. This parameter was inadvertently left out of the ACPI specification, and will be added for ACPI 3.0b. Fixed a problem where the use of the "_OSI" string (versus the full path "\_OSI") caused an internal compiler error. ("No back ptr to op") Fixed a problem with the error message that occurs when an invalid string is used for a _HID object (such as one with an embedded asterisk: "*PNP010A".) The correct message is now displayed. ---------------------------------------- 17 February 2006. Summary of changes for version 20060217: 1) ACPI CA Core Subsystem: Implemented a change to the IndexField support to match the behavior of the Microsoft AML interpreter. The value written to the Index register is now a byte offset, no longer an index based upon the width of the Data register. This should fix IndexField problems seen on some machines where the Data register is not exactly one byte wide. The ACPI specification will be clarified on this point. Fixed a problem where several resource descriptor types could overrun the internal descriptor buffer due to size miscalculation: VendorShort, VendorLong, and Interrupt. This was noticed on IA64 machines, but could affect all platforms. Fixed a problem where individual resource descriptors were misaligned within the internal buffer, causing alignment faults on IA64 platforms. Code and Data Size: These are the sizes for the acpica.lib produced by the Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0 32-bit compiler. The values do not include any ACPI driver or OSPM code. The debug version of the code includes the debug output trace mechanism and has a much larger code and data size. Note that these values will vary depending on the efficiency of the compiler and the compiler options used during generation.

Fixed a problem where a zero-length VendorShort or VendorLong resource descriptor was incorrectly emitted as a descriptor of length one. ---------------------------------------- 10 February 2006. Summary of changes for version 20060210: 1) ACPI CA Core Subsystem: Removed a couple of extraneous ACPI_ERROR messages that appeared during normal execution. These became apparent after the conversion from ACPI_DEBUG_PRINT. Fixed a problem where the CreateField operator could hang if the BitIndex or NumBits parameter referred to a named object. (Valery Podrezov, BZ 5359) Fixed a problem where a DeRefOf operation on a buffer object incorrectly failed with an exception. This also fixes a couple of related RefOf and DeRefOf issues. (Valery Podrezov, BZ 5360/5392/5387) Fixed a problem where the AE_BUFFER_LIMIT exception was returned instead of AE_STRING_LIMIT on an out-of-bounds Index() operation. (Valery Podrezov, BZ 5480) Implemented a memory cleanup at the end of the execution of each iteration of an AML While() loop, preventing the accumulation of outstanding objects. (Valery Podrezov, BZ 5427) Eliminated a chunk of duplicate code in the object resolution code. (Valery Podrezov, BZ 5336) Fixed several warnings during the 64-bit code generation. The AcpiSrc source code conversion tool now inserts one line of whitespace after an if() statement that is followed immediately by a comment, improving readability of the Linux code. Code and Data Size: The current and previous library sizes for the core subsystem are shown below. These are the code and data sizes for the acpica.lib produced by the Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0 32-bit compiler. These values do not include any ACPI driver or OSPM code. The debug version of the code includes the debug output trace mechanism and has a much larger code and data size. Note that these values will vary depending on the efficiency of the compiler and the compiler options used during generation.

Summary of changes for version 20060127: 1) ACPI CA Core Subsystem: 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, 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. The older macros remain defined to allow ACPI drivers time to migrate to the new macros. Implemented the ACPI_CPU_FLAGS type to simplify host OS integration of the Acquire/Release Lock OSL interfaces. Fixed a problem where Alias ASL operators are sometimes not correctly resolved, in both the interpreter and the iASL compiler. Fixed several problems with the implementation of the ConcatenateResTemplate ASL operator. As per the ACPI specification, zero length buffers are now treated as a single EndTag. One-length buffers always cause a fatal exception. Non- zero length buffers that do not end with a full 2-byte EndTag cause a fatal exception. Fixed a possible structure overwrite in the AcpiGetObjectInfo external interface. (With assistance from Thomas Renninger) Code and Data Size: The current and previous library sizes for the core subsystem are shown below. These are the code and data sizes for the acpica.lib produced by the Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0 32-bit compiler. These values do not include any ACPI driver or OSPM code. The debug version of the code includes the debug output trace mechanism and has a much larger code and data size. Note that these values will vary depending on the efficiency of the compiler and the compiler options used during generation.

Summary of changes for version 20060113: 1) ACPI CA Core Subsystem: Added 2006 copyright to all module headers and signons. This affects virtually every file in the ACPICA core subsystem, iASL compiler, and the utilities. Enhanced the ACPICA error reporting in order to simplify user migration to the non-debug version of ACPICA. 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 of the code somewhat (about 13K), but all error/warning reporting may be disabled if desired (and code eliminated) by specifying the ACPI_NO_ERROR_MESSAGES compile-time configuration option. The size of the debug version of ACPICA remains about the same. Fixed a memory leak within the AML Debugger "Set" command. One object was not properly deleted for every successful invocation of the command. Code and Data Size: The current and previous library sizes for the core subsystem are shown below. These are the code and data sizes for the acpica.lib produced by the Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0 32-bit compiler. These values do not include any ACPI driver or OSPM code. The debug version of the code includes the debug output trace mechanism and has a much larger code and data size. Note that these values will vary depending on the efficiency of the compiler and the compiler options used during generation.

(Specification is available at www.acpi.info) ---------------------------------------- 16 December 2005. Summary of changes for version 20051216: 1) ACPI CA Core Subsystem: 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, 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. Moved resource descriptor string constants that are used by both the AML disassembler and AML debugger to the common utilities directory so that these components are independent. Implemented support in the AcpiExec utility (-e switch) to globally ignore exceptions during control method execution (method is not aborted.) Added the rsinfo.c source file to the AcpiExec makefile for Linux/Unix generation. Code and Data Size: The current and previous library sizes for the core subsystem are shown below. These are the code and data sizes for the acpica.lib produced by the Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0 32-bit compiler. These values do not include any ACPI driver or OSPM code. The debug version of the code includes the debug output trace mechanism and has a much larger code and data size. Note that these values will vary depending on the efficiency of the compiler and the compiler options used during generation.

Summary of changes for version 20051202: 1) ACPI CA Core Subsystem: Modified the parsing of control methods to no longer create namespace objects during the first pass of the parse. Objects are now created only during the execute phase, at the moment the namespace creation operator is encountered in the AML (Name, OperationRegion, CreateByteField, etc.) This should eliminate ALREADY_EXISTS exceptions seen on some machines where reentrant control methods are protected by an AML mutex. The mutex will now correctly block multiple threads from attempting to create the same object more than once. Increased the number of available Owner Ids for namespace object tracking from 32 to 255. This should eliminate the OWNER_ID_LIMIT exceptions seen on some machines with a large number of ACPI tables (either static or dynamic). Fixed a problem with the AcpiExec utility where a fault could occur when the -b switch (batch mode) is used. Enhanced the namespace dump routine to output the owner ID for each namespace object. Code and Data Size: The current and previous library sizes for the core subsystem are shown below. These are the code and data sizes for the acpica.lib produced by the Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0 32-bit compiler. These values do not include any ACPI driver or OSPM code. The debug version of the code includes the debug output trace mechanism and has a much larger code and data size. Note that these values will vary depending on the efficiency of the compiler and the compiler options used during generation. Previous Release: Non-Debug Version: 76.3K Code, 12.3K Data, 88.6K Total Debug Version: 163.0K Code, 67.4K Data, 230.4K Total Current Release: Non-Debug Version: 76.3K Code, 12.3K Data, 88.6K Total Debug Version: 163.2K Code, 67.4K Data, 230.6K Total 2) iASL Compiler/Disassembler: Fixed a parse error during compilation of certain Switch/Case constructs. To simplify the parse, the grammar now allows for multiple Default statements and this error is now detected and flagged during the analysis phase. Disassembler: The disassembly now includes the contents of the original table header within a comment at the start of the file. This includes the name and version of the original ASL compiler. ---------------------------------------- 17 November 2005. Summary of changes for version 20051117: 1) ACPI CA Core Subsystem: 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, AcpiGetVendorResource. This interface will find and return a vendor-defined resource descriptor within a _CRS or _PRS method via an ACPI 3.0 UUID match. With assistance 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. Fixed a problem in the Windows OS interface layer (OSL) where a WAIT_FOREVER on a semaphore object would incorrectly timeout. This allows the multithreading features of the AcpiExec utility to work properly under Windows. Updated the Linux makefiles for the iASL compiler and AcpiExec to include the recently added file named "utresrc.c". Code and Data Size: The current and previous library sizes for the core subsystem are shown below. These are the code and data sizes for the acpica.lib produced by the Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0 32-bit compiler. These values do not include any ACPI driver or OSPM code. The debug version of the code includes the debug output trace mechanism and has a much larger code and data size. Note that these values will vary depending on the efficiency of the compiler and the compiler options used during generation.

For the iASL compiler, this means that string literals within the source ASL can be of any length. Enhanced the listing output to dump the AML code for resource descriptors immediately after the ASL code for each descriptor, instead of in a block at the end of the entire resource template. Enhanced the compiler debug output to dump the entire original parse tree constructed during the parse phase, before any transforms are applied to the tree. The transformed tree is dumped also. ---------------------------------------- 02 November 2005. Summary of changes for version 20051102: 1) ACPI CA Core Subsystem: 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. Converted the ACPI internal object disassemble and display code within the AML debugger to fully table-driven operation, reducing code size and increasing maintainability. 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 AcpiWalkNamespace 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. Code and Data Size: The current and previous library sizes for the core subsystem are shown below. These are the code and data sizes for the acpica.lib produced by the Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0 32-bit compiler. These values do not include any ACPI driver or OSPM code. The debug version of the code includes the debug output trace mechanism and has a much larger code and data size. Note that these values will vary depending on the efficiency of the compiler and the compiler options used during generation.

Enhanced the pre-compile source code scan for non-ASCII characters to ignore characters within comment fields. The scan is now always performed and is no longer optional, detecting invalid characters within a source file immediately rather than during the parse phase or later. Enhanced the ASL grammar definition to force early reductions on all list-style grammar elements so that the overall parse stack usage is greatly reduced. This should improve performance and reduce the possibility of parse stack overflow. Eliminated all reduce/reduce conflicts in the iASL parser generation.
