22 April 2016. Summary of changes for version 20160422:
1) ACPICA kernel-resident subsystem:
Fixed a regression in the GAS (generic address structure) arbitrary bit support in AcpiHwRead/AcpiHwWrit
22 April 2016. Summary of changes for version 20160422:
1) ACPICA kernel-resident subsystem:
Fixed a regression in the GAS (generic address structure) arbitrary bit support in AcpiHwRead/AcpiHwWrite. Problem could cause incorrect behavior and incorrect return values. Lv Zheng. ACPICA BZ 1270.
ACPI 6.0: Added support for new/renamed resource macros. One new argument was added to each of these macros, and the original name has been deprecated. The AML disassembler will always disassemble to the new names. Support for the new macros was added to iASL, disassembler, resource manager, and the acpihelp utility. ACPICA BZ 1274.
I2cSerialBus -> I2cSerialBusV2 SpiSerialBus -> SpiSerialBusV2 UartSerialBus -> UartSerialBusV2
ACPI 6.0: Added support for a new integer field that was appended to the package object returned by the _BIX method. This adds iASL compile-time and AML runtime error checking. ACPICA BZ 1273.
ACPI 6.1: Added support for a new PCCT subtable, "HW-Reduced Comm Subspace Type2" (Headers, Disassembler, and data table compiler).
Example Code and Data Size: These are the sizes for the OS-independent acpica.lib produced by the Microsoft Visual C++ 9.0 32-bit compiler. The debug version of the code includes the debug output trace mechanism and has a much larger code and data size.
Current Release: Non-Debug Version: 137.4K Code, 52.6K Data, 190.0K Total Debug Version: 201.5K Code, 82.2K Data, 283.7K Total Previous Release: Non-Debug Version: 137.1K Code, 51.5K Data, 188.6K Total Debug Version: 201.0K Code, 82.0K Data, 283.0K Total
2) iASL Compiler/Disassembler and Tools:
iASL: Implemented an ASL grammar extension to allow/enable executable "module-level code" to be created and executed under the various operators that create new scopes. This type of AML code is already supported in all known AML interpreters, and the grammar change will appear in the next version of the ACPI specification. Simplifies the conditional runtime creation of named objects under these object types:
Device PowerResource Processor Scope ThermalZone
iASL: Implemented a new ASL extension, a "For" loop macro to add greater ease-of-use to the ASL language. The syntax is similar to the corresponding C operator, and is implemented with the existing AML While opcode -- thus requiring no changes to existing AML interpreters.
For (Initialize, Predicate, Update) {TermList}
Grammar: ForTerm := For ( Initializer // Nothing | TermArg => ComputationalData Predicate // Nothing | TermArg => ComputationalData Update // Nothing | TermArg => ComputationalData ) {TermList}
iASL: The _HID/_ADR detection and validation has been enhanced to search under conditionals in order to allow these objects to be conditionally created at runtime.
iASL: Fixed several issues with the constant folding feature. The improvement allows better detection and resolution of statements that can be folded at compile time. ACPICA BZ 1266.
iASL/Disassembler: Fixed a couple issues with the Else{If{}...} conversion to the ASL ElseIf operator where incorrect ASL code could be generated.
iASL/Disassembler: Fixed a problem with the ASL+ code disassembly where sometimes an extra (and extraneous) set of parentheses were emitted for some combinations of operators. Although this did not cause any problems with recompilation of the disassembled code, it made the code more difficult to read. David Box. ACPICA BZ 1231.
iASL: Changed to ignore the unreferenced detection for predefined names of resource descriptor elements, when the resource descriptor is created/defined within a control method.
iASL: Disassembler: Fix a possible fault with externally declared Buffer objects.
---------------------------------------- 18 March 2016. Summary of changes for version 20160318:
1) ACPICA kernel-resident subsystem:
Added support for arbitrary bit lengths and bit offsets for registers defined by the Generic Address Structure. Previously, only aligned bit lengths of 8/16/32/64 were supported. This was sufficient for many years, but recently some machines have been seen that require arbitrary bit- level support. ACPICA BZ 1240. Lv Zheng.
Fixed an issue where the \_SB._INI method sometimes must be evaluated before any _REG methods are evaluated. Lv Zheng.
Implemented several changes related to ACPI table support (Headers/Disassembler/TableCompiler): NFIT: For ACPI 6.1, updated to add some additional new fields and constants. FADT: Updated a warning message and set compliance to ACPI 6.1 (Version 6). DMAR: Added new constants per the 10/2014 DMAR spec. IORT: Added new subtable per the 10/2015 IORT spec. HEST: For ACPI 6.1, added new constants and new subtable. DBG2: Added new constants per the 12/2015 DBG2 spec. FPDT: Fixed several incorrect fields, add the FPDT boot record structure. ACPICA BZ 1249. ERST/EINJ: Updated disassembler with new "Execute Timings" actions.
Updated header support for the DMAR table to match the current version of the related spec.
Added extensions to the ASL Concatenate operator to allow any ACPI object to be passed as an operand. Any object other than Integer/String/Buffer simply returns a string containing the object type. This extends the usefulness of the Printf macros. Previously, Concatenate would abort the control method if a non-data object was encountered.
ACPICA source code: Deployed the C "const" keyword across the source code where appropriate. ACPICA BZ 732. Joerg Sonnenberger (NetBSD).
Example Code and Data Size: These are the sizes for the OS-independent acpica.lib produced by the Microsoft Visual C++ 9.0 32-bit compiler. The debug version of the code includes the debug output trace mechanism and has a much larger code and data size.
Current Release: Non-Debug Version: 137.1K Code, 51.5K Data, 188.6K Total Debug Version: 201.0K Code, 82.0K Data, 283.0K Total Previous Release: Non-Debug Version: 136.2K Code, 51.5K Data, 187.7K Total Debug Version: 200.4K Code, 82.0K Data, 282.4K Total
2) iASL Compiler/Disassembler and Tools:
iASL/Disassembler: Improved the heuristic used to determine the number of arguments for an externally defined control method (a method in another table). Although this is an improvement, there is no deterministic way to "guess" the number of method arguments. Only the ACPI 6.0 External opcode will completely solve this problem as it is deployed (automatically) in newer BIOS code.
iASL/Disassembler: Fixed an ordering issue for emitted External() ASL statements that could cause errors when the disassembled file is compiled. ACPICA BZ 1243. David Box.
iASL: Fixed a regression caused by the merger of the two versions of the local strtoul64. Because of a dependency on a global variable, strtoul64 could return an error for integers greater than a 32-bit value. ACPICA BZ 1260.
iASL: Fixed a regression where a fault could occur for an ASL Return statement if it invokes a control method that is not resolved. ACPICA BZ 1264.
AcpiXtract: Improved input file validation: detection of binary files and non-acpidump text files.
---------------------------------------- 12 February 2016. Summary of changes for version 20160212:
1) ACPICA kernel-resident subsystem:
Implemented full support for the ACPI 6.1 specification (released in January). This version of the specification is available at: http://www.uefi.org/specifications
Only a relatively small number of changes were required in ACPICA to support ACPI 6.1, in these areas: - New predefined names - New _HID values - A new subtable for HEST - A few other header changes for new values
Ensure \_SB_._INI is executed before any _REG methods are executed. There appears to be existing BIOS code that relies on this behavior. Lv Zheng.
Reverted a change made in version 20151218 which enabled method invocations to be targets of various ASL operators (SuperName and Target grammar elements). While the new behavior is supported by the ACPI specification, other AML interpreters do not support this behavior and never will. The ACPI specification will be updated for ACPI 6.2 to remove this support. Therefore, the change was reverted to the original ACPICA behavior.
ACPICA now supports the GCC 6 compiler.
Current Release: (Note: build changes increased sizes) Non-Debug Version: 136.2K Code, 51.5K Data, 187.7K Total Debug Version: 200.4K Code, 82.0K Data, 282.4K Total Previous Release: Non-Debug Version: 102.7K Code, 28.4K Data, 131.1K Total Debug Version: 200.4K Code, 81.9K Data, 282.3K Total
2) iASL Compiler/Disassembler and Tools:
Completed full support for the ACPI 6.0 External() AML opcode. The compiler emits an external AML opcode for each ASL External statement. This opcode is used by the disassembler to assist with the disassembly of external control methods by specifying the required number of arguments for the method. AML interpreters do not use this opcode. To ensure that interpreters do not even see the opcode, a block of one or more external opcodes is surrounded by an "If(0)" construct. As this feature becomes commonly deployed in BIOS code, the ability of disassemblers to correctly disassemble AML code will be greatly improved. David Box.
iASL: Implemented support for an optional cross-reference output file. The -lx option will create a the cross-reference file with the suffix "xrf". Three different types of cross-reference are created in this file: - List of object references made from within each control method - Invocation (caller) list for each user-defined control method - List of references to each non-method object in the namespace
iASL: Method invocations as ASL Target operands are now disallowed and flagged as errors in preparation for ACPI 6.2 (see the description of the problem above).

import new acpica:
---------------------------------------- 8 January 2016. Summary of changes for version 20160108:
1) ACPICA kernel-resident subsystem:
Updated all ACPICA copyrights and signons to 2016: Added the 2016 copyright to all source code module headers and utility/tool signons. This includes the standard Linux dual-license header. This affects virtually every file in the ACPICA core subsystem, iASL compiler, all ACPICA utilities, and the ACPICA test suite.
Fixed a regression introduced in version 20151218 concerning the execution of so-called module-level ASL/AML code. Namespace objects created under a module-level If() construct were not properly/fully entered into the namespace and could cause an interpreter fault when accessed.
Example Code and Data Size: These are the sizes for the OS-independent acpica.lib produced by the Microsoft Visual C++ 9.0 32-bit compiler. The debug version of the code includes the debug output trace mechanism and has a much larger code and data size.
Current Release: Non-Debug Version: 102.7K Code, 28.4K Data, 131.1K Total Debug Version: 200.4K Code, 81.9K Data, 282.4K Total Previous Release: Non-Debug Version: 102.6K Code, 28.4K Data, 131.0K Total Debug Version: 200.3K Code, 81.9K Data, 282.3K Total
2) iASL Compiler/Disassembler and Tools:
Fixed a problem with the compilation of the GpioIo and GpioInt resource descriptors. The _PIN field name was incorrectly defined to be an array of 32-bit values, but the _PIN values are in fact 16 bits each. This would cause incorrect bit width warnings when using Word (16-bit) fields to access the descriptors.
---------------------------------------- 18 December 2015. Summary of changes for version 20151218:
1) ACPICA kernel-resident subsystem:
Implemented per-AML-table execution of "module-level code" as individual ACPI tables are loaded into the namespace during ACPICA initialization. In other words, any module-level code within an AML table is executed immediately after the table is loaded, instead of batched and executed after all of the tables have been loaded. This provides compatibility with other ACPI implementations. ACPICA BZ 1219. Bob Moore, Lv Zheng, David Box.
To fully support the feature above, the default operation region handlers for the SystemMemory, SystemIO, and PCI_Config address spaces are now installed before any ACPI tables are loaded. This enables module-level code to access these address spaces during the table load and module- level code execution phase. ACPICA BZ 1220. Bob Moore, Lv Zheng, David Box.
Implemented several changes to the internal _REG support in conjunction with the changes above. Also, changes to the AcpiExec/AcpiNames/Examples utilities for the changes above. Although these tools were changed, host operating systems that simply use the default handlers for SystemMemory, SystemIO, and PCI_Config spaces should not require any update. Lv Zheng.
For example, in the code below, DEV1 is conditionally added to the namespace by the DSDT via module-level code that accesses an operation region. The SSDT references DEV1 via the Scope operator. DEV1 must be created immediately after the DSDT is loaded in order for the SSDT to successfully reference DEV1. Previously, this code would cause an AE_NOT_EXIST exception during the load of the SSDT. Now, this code is fully supported by ACPICA.
DefinitionBlock ("", "DSDT", 2, "Intel", "DSDT1", 1) { OperationRegion (OPR1, SystemMemory, 0x400, 32) Field (OPR1, AnyAcc, NoLock, Preserve) { FLD1, 1 } If (FLD1) { Device (\DEV1) { } } } DefinitionBlock ("", "SSDT", 2, "Intel", "SSDT1", 1) { External (\DEV1, DeviceObj) Scope (\DEV1) { } }
Fixed an AML interpreter problem where control method invocations were not handled correctly when the invocation was itself a SuperName argument to another ASL operator. In these cases, the method was not invoked. ACPICA BZ 1002. Affects the following ASL operators that have a SuperName argument: Store Acquire, Wait CondRefOf, RefOf Decrement, Increment Load, Unload Notify Signal, Release, Reset SizeOf
Implemented automatic String-to-ObjectReference conversion support for packages returned by predefined names (such as _DEP). A common BIOS error is to add double quotes around an ObjectReference namepath, which turns the reference into an unexpected string object. This support detects the problem and corrects it before the package is returned to the caller that invoked the method. Lv Zheng.
Implemented extensions to the Concatenate operator. Concatenate now accepts any type of object, it is not restricted to simply Integer/String/Buffer. For objects other than these 3 basic data types, the argument is treated as a string containing the name of the object type. This expands the utility of Concatenate and the Printf/Fprintf macros. ACPICA BZ 1222.
Cleaned up the output of the ASL Debug object. The timer() value is now optional and no longer emitted by default. Also, the basic data types of Integer/String/Buffer are simply emitted as their values, without a data type string -- since the data type is obvious from the output. ACPICA BZ 1221.
Example Code and Data Size: These are the sizes for the OS-independent acpica.lib produced by the Microsoft Visual C++ 9.0 32-bit compiler. The debug version of the code includes the debug output trace mechanism and has a much larger code and data size.
Current Release: Non-Debug Version: 102.6K Code, 28.4K Data, 131.0K Total Debug Version: 200.3K Code, 81.9K Data, 282.3K Total Previous Release: Non-Debug Version: 102.0K Code, 28.3K Data, 130.3K Total Debug Version: 199.6K Code, 81.8K Data, 281.4K Total
2) iASL Compiler/Disassembler and Tools:
iASL: Fixed some issues with the ASL Include() operator. This operator was incorrectly defined in the iASL parser rules, causing a new scope to be opened for the code within the include file. This could lead to several issues, including allowing ASL code that is technically illegal and not supported by AML interpreters. Note, this does not affect the related #include preprocessor operator. ACPICA BZ 1212.
iASL/Disassembler: Implemented support for the ASL ElseIf operator. This operator is essentially an ASL macro since there is no AML opcode associated with it. The code emitted by the iASL compiler for ElseIf is an Else opcode followed immediately by an If opcode. The disassembler will now emit an ElseIf if it finds an Else immediately followed by an If. This simplifies the decoded ASL, especially for deeply nested If..Else and large Switch constructs. Thus, the disassembled code more closely follows the original source ASL. ACPICA BZ 1211. Example:
Old disassembly: Else { If (Arg0 == 0x02) { Local0 = 0x05 } }
New disassembly: ElseIf (Arg0 == 0x02) { Local0 = 0x05 }
AcpiExec: Added support for the new module level code behavior and the early region installation. This required a small change to the initialization, since AcpiExec must install its own operation region handlers.
AcpiExec: Added support to make the debug object timer optional. Default is timer disabled. This cleans up the debug object output -- the timer data is rarely used.
AcpiExec: Multiple ACPI tables are now loaded in the order that they appear on the command line. This can be important when there are interdependencies/references between the tables.
iASL/Templates. Add support to generate template files with multiple SSDTs within a single output file. Also added ommand line support to specify the number of SSDTs (in addition to a single DSDT). ACPICA BZ 1223, 1225.
---------------------------------------- 24 November 2015. Summary of changes for version 20151124:
1) ACPICA kernel-resident subsystem:
Fixed a possible regression for a previous update to FADT handling. The FADT no longer has a fixed table ID, causing some issues with code that was hardwired to a specific ID. Lv Zheng.
Fixed a problem where the method auto-serialization could interfere with the current SyncLevel. This change makes the auto-serialization support transparent to the SyncLevel support and management.
Removed support for the _SUB predefined name in AcpiGetObjectInfo. This interface is intended for early access to the namespace during the initial namespace device discovery walk. The _SUB method has been seen to access operation regions in some cases, causing errors because the operation regions are not fully initialized.
AML Debugger: Fixed some issues with the terminate/quit/exit commands that can cause faults. Lv Zheng.
AML Debugger: Add thread ID support so that single-step mode only applies to the AML Debugger thread. This prevents runtime errors within some kernels. Lv Zheng.
Eliminated extraneous warnings from AcpiGetSleepTypeData. Since the _Sx methods that are invoked by this interface are optional, removed warnings emitted for the case where one or more of these methods do not exist. ACPICA BZ 1208, original change by Prarit Bhargava.
Made a major pass through the entire ACPICA source code base to standardize formatting that has diverged a bit over time. There are no functional changes, but this will of course cause quite a few code differences from the previous ACPICA release.
Example Code and Data Size: These are the sizes for the OS-independent acpica.lib produced by the Microsoft Visual C++ 9.0 32-bit compiler. The debug version of the code includes the debug output trace mechanism and has a much larger code and data size.
Current Release: Non-Debug Version: 102.0K Code, 28.3K Data, 130.3K Total Debug Version: 199.6K Code, 81.8K Data, 281.4K Total Previous Release: Non-Debug Version: 101.7K Code, 27.9K Data, 129.6K Total Debug Version: 199.3K Code, 81.4K Data, 280.7K Total
2) iASL Compiler/Disassembler and Tools:
iASL/acpiexec/acpixtract/disassembler: Added support to allow multiple definition blocks within a single ASL file and the resulting AML file. Support for this type of file was also added to the various tools that use binary AML files: acpiexec, acpixtract, and the AML disassembler. The example code below shows two definition blocks within the same file:
DefinitionBlock ("dsdt.aml", "DSDT", 2, "Intel", "Template", 0x12345678) { } DefinitionBlock ("", "SSDT", 2, "Intel", "Template", 0xABCDEF01) { }
iASL: Enhanced typechecking for the Name() operator. All expressions for the value of the named object must be reduced/folded to a single constant at compile time, as per the ACPI specification (the AML definition of Name()).
iASL: Fixed some code indentation issues for the -ic and -ia options (C and assembly headers). Now all emitted code correctly begins in column 1.
iASL: Added an error message for an attempt to open a Scope() on an object defined in an SSDT. The DSDT is always loaded into the namespace first, so any attempt to open a Scope on an SSDT object will fail at runtime.
---------------------------------------- 30 September 2015. Summary of changes for version 20150930:
1) ACPICA kernel-resident subsystem:
Debugger: Implemented several changes and bug fixes to assist support for the in-kernel version of the AML debugger. Lv Zheng. - Fix the "predefined" command for in-kernel debugger. - Do not enter debug command loop for the help and version commands. - Disallow "execute" command during execution/single-step of a method.
Interpreter: Updated runtime typechecking for all operators that have target operands. The operand is resolved and validated that it is legal. For example, the target cannot be a non-data object such as a Device, Mutex, ThermalZone, etc., as per the ACPI specification.
Debugger: Fixed the double-mutex user I/O handshake to work when local deadlock detection is enabled.
Debugger: limited display of method locals and arguments (LocalX and ArgX) to only those that have actually been initialized. This prevents lines of extraneous output.
Updated the definition of the NFIT table to correct the bit polarity of one flag: ACPI_NFIT_MEM_ARMED --> ACPI_NFIT_MEM_NOT_ARMED
Example Code and Data Size: These are the sizes for the OS-independent acpica.lib produced by the Microsoft Visual C++ 9.0 32-bit compiler. The debug version of the code includes the debug output trace mechanism and has a much larger code and data size.
Current Release: Non-Debug Version: 101.7K Code, 27.9K Data, 129.6K Total Debug Version: 199.3K Code, 81.4K Data, 280.7K Total Previous Release: Non-Debug Version: 101.3K Code, 27.7K Data, 129.0K Total Debug Version: 198.6K Code, 80.9K Data, 279.5K Total
2) iASL Compiler/Disassembler and Tools:
iASL: Improved the compile-time typechecking for operands of many of the ASL operators:
-- Added an option to disable compiler operand/operator typechecking (- ot).
-- For the following operators, the TermArg operands are now validated when possible to be Integer data objects: BankField, OperationRegion, DataTableRegion, Buffer, and Package.
-- Store (Source, Target): Both the source and target operands are resolved and checked that the operands are both legal. For example, neither operand can be a non-data object such as a Device, Mutex, ThermalZone, etc. Note, as per the ACPI specification, the CopyObject operator can be used to store an object to any type of target object.
-- Store (Source, Target): If the source is a Package object, the target must be a Package object, LocalX, ArgX, or Debug. Likewise, if the target is a Package, the source must also be a Package.
-- Store (Source, Target): A warning is issued if the source and target resolve to the identical named object.
-- Store (Source, <method invocation>): An error is generated for the target method invocation, as this construct is not supported by the AML interpreter.
-- For all ASL math and logic operators, the target operand must be a data object (Integer, String, Buffer, LocalX, ArgX, or Debug). This includes the function return value also.
-- External declarations are also included in the typechecking where possible. External objects defined using the UnknownObj keyword cannot be typechecked, however.
iASL and Disassembler: Added symbolic (ASL+) support for the ASL Index operator: - Legacy code: Index(PKG1, 3) - New ASL+ code: PKG1[3] This completes the ACPI 6.0 ASL+ support as it was the only operator not supported.
iASL: Fixed the file suffix for the preprocessor output file (.i). Two spaces were inadvertently appended to the filename, causing file access and deletion problems on some systems.
ASL Test Suite (ASLTS): Updated the master makefile to generate all possible compiler output files when building the test suite -- thus exercising these features of the compiler. These files are automatically deleted when the test suite exits.
---------------------------------------- 18 August 2015. Summary of changes for version 20150818:
1) ACPICA kernel-resident subsystem:
Fix a regression for AcpiGetTableByIndex interface causing it to fail. Lv Zheng. ACPICA BZ 1186.
Completed development to ensure that the ACPICA Disassembler and Debugger are fully standalone components of ACPICA. Removed cross-component dependences. Lv Zheng.
The max-number-of-AML-loops is now runtime configurable (previously was compile-time only). This is essentially a loop timeout to force-abort infinite AML loops. ACPCIA BZ 1192.
Debugger: Cleanup output to dump ACPI names and namepaths without any trailing underscores. Lv Zheng. ACPICA BZ 1135.
Removed unnecessary conditional compilations across the Debugger and Disassembler components where entire modules could be left uncompiled.
The aapits test is deprecated and has been removed from the ACPICA git tree. The test has never been completed and has not been maintained, thus becoming rather useless. ACPICA BZ 1015, 794.
A batch of small changes to close bugzilla and other reports: - Remove duplicate code for _PLD processing. ACPICA BZ 1176. - Correctly cleanup after a ACPI table load failure. ACPICA BZ 1185. - iASL: Support POSIX yacc again in makefile. Jung-uk Kim. - ACPI table support: general cleanup and simplification. Lv Zheng, Bob Moore. - ACPI table support: fix for a buffer read overrun in AcpiTbFindTable. ACPICA BZ 1184. - Enhance parameter validation for DataTableRegion and LoadTable ASL/AML operators. - Debugger: Split debugger initialization/termination interfaces. Lv Zheng. - AcpiExec: Emit OemTableId for SSDTs during the load phase for table identification. - AcpiExec: Add debug message during _REG method phase during table load/init. - AcpiNames: Fix a regression where some output was missing and no longer emitted. - Debugger: General cleanup and simplification. Lv Zheng. - Disassembler: Cleanup use of several global option variables. Lv Zheng.
Example Code and Data Size: These are the sizes for the OS-independent acpica.lib produced by the Microsoft Visual C++ 9.0 32-bit compiler. The debug version of the code includes the debug output trace mechanism and has a much larger code and data size.
Current Release: Non-Debug Version: 101.3K Code, 27.7K Data, 129.0K Total Debug Version: 198.6K Code, 80.9K Data, 279.5K Total Previous Release: Non-Debug Version: 100.9K Code, 24.5K Data, 125.4K Total Debug Version: 197.8K Code, 81.5K Data, 279.3K Total
2) iASL Compiler/Disassembler and Tools:
AcpiExec: Fixed a problem where any more than 32 ACPI tables in the XSDT were not handled properly and caused load errors. Now, properly invoke and use the ACPICA auto-reallocate mechanism for ACPI table data structures. ACPICA BZ 1188
AcpiNames: Add command-line wildcard support for ACPI table files. ACPICA BZ 1190.
AcpiExec and AcpiNames: Add -l option to load ACPI tables only. For AcpiExec, this means that no control methods (like _REG/_INI/_STA) are executed during initialization. ACPICA BZ 1187, 1189.
iASL/Disassembler: Implemented a prototype "listing" mode that emits AML that corresponds to each disassembled ASL statement, to simplify debugging. ACPICA BZ 1191.
Debugger: Add option to the "objects" command to display a summary of the current namespace objects (Object type and count). This is displayed if the command is entered with no arguments.
AcpiNames: Add -x option to specify debug level, similar to AcpiExec.

1) ACPICA kernel-resident subsystem:
Improved the partitioning between the Debugger and Disassembler components. This allows the Debugger to be used standalone within kernel code without the Disassembler (which is used for single stepping also). This renames and moves one file, dmobject.c to dbobject.c. Lv Zheng.
Debugger: Implemented a new command to trace the execution of control methods (Trace). This is especially useful for the in-kernel version of the debugger when file I/O may not be available for method trace output. See the ACPICA reference for more information. Lv Zheng.
Moved all C library prototypes (used for the local versions of these functions when requested) to a new header, acclib.h Cleaned up the use of non-ANSI C library functions. These functions are implemented locally in ACPICA. Moved all such functions to a common source file, utnonansi.c
Debugger: Fixed a problem with the "!!" command (get last command executed) where the debugger could enter an infinite loop and eventually crash.
Removed the use of local macros that were used for some of the standard C library functions to automatically cast input parameters. This mostly affected the is* functions where the input parameter is defined to be an int. This required a few modifications to the main ACPICA source code to provide casting for these functions and eliminate possible compiler warnings for these parameters.
Across the source code, added additional status/error checking to resolve issues discovered by static source code analysis tools such as Coverity.
Example Code and Data Size: These are the sizes for the OS-independent acpica.lib produced by the Microsoft Visual C++ 9.0 32-bit compiler. The debug version of the code includes the debug output trace mechanism and has a much larger code and data size.
Current Release: Non-Debug Version: 100.9K Code, 24.5K Data, 125.4K Total Debug Version: 197.8K Code, 81.5K Data, 279.3K Total Previous Release: Non-Debug Version: 100.6K Code, 27.6K Data, 128.2K Total Debug Version: 196.2K Code, 81.0K Data, 277.2K Total
2) iASL Compiler/Disassembler and Tools:
iASL: Fixed a regression where the device map file feature no longer worked properly when used in conjunction with the disassembler. It only worked properly with the compiler itself.
iASL: Implemented a new warning for method LocalX variables that are set but never used (similar to a C compiler such as gcc). This also applies to ArgX variables that are not defined by the parent method, and are instead (legally) used as local variables.
iASL/Preprocessor: Finished the pass-through of line numbers from the preprocessor to the compiler. This ensures that compiler errors/warnings have the correct original line numbers and filenames, regardless of any #include files.
iASL/Preprocessor: Fixed a couple of issues with comment handling and the pass-through of comments to the preprocessor output file (which becomes the compiler input file). Also fixed a problem with // comments that appear after a math expression.
iASL: Added support for the TCPA server table to the table compiler and template generator. (The client table was already previously supported)
iASL/Preprocessor: Added a permanent #define of the symbol "__IASL__" to identify the iASL compiler.
Cleaned up the use of the macros NEGATIVE and POSITIVE which were defined multiple times. The new names are ACPI_SIGN_NEGATIVE and ACPI_SIGN_POSITIVE.
AcpiHelp: Update to expand help messages for the iASL preprocessor directives.
---------------------------------------- 19 June 2015. Summary of changes for version 20150619:
Two regressions in version 20150616 have been addressed:
Fixes some problems/issues with the C library macro removal (ACPI_STRLEN, etc.) This update changes ACPICA to only use the standard headers for functions, or the prototypes for the local versions of the C library functions. Across the source code, this required some additional casts for some Clib invocations for portability. Moved all local prototypes to a new file, acclib.h
Fixes several problems with recent changes to the handling of the FACS table that could cause some systems not to boot.
---------------------------------------- 16 June 2015. Summary of changes for version 20150616:
1) ACPICA kernel-resident subsystem:
Across the entire ACPICA source code base, the various macros for the C library functions (such as ACPI_STRLEN, etc.) have been removed and replaced by the standard C library names (strlen, etc.) The original purpose for these macros is no longer applicable. This simplification reduces the number of macros used in the ACPICA source code significantly, improving readability and maintainability.
Implemented support for a new ACPI table, the OSDT. This table, the "override" SDT, can be loaded directly by the host OS at boot time. It enables the replacement of existing namespace objects that were installed via the DSDT and/or SSDTs. The primary purpose for this is to replace buggy or incorrect ASL/AML code obtained via the BIOS. The OSDT is slated for inclusion in a future version of the ACPI Specification. Lv Zheng/Bob Moore.
Added support for systems with (improperly) two FACS tables -- a "32-bit" table (via FADT 32-bit legacy field) and a "64-bit" table (via the 64-bit X field). This change will support both automatically. There continues to be systems found with this issue. This support requires a change to the AcpiSetFirmwareWakingVector interface. Also, a public global variable has been added to allow the host to select which FACS is desired (AcpiGbl_Use32BitFacsAddresses). See the ACPICA reference for more details Lv Zheng.
Added a new feature to allow for systems that do not contain an FACS. Although this is already supported on hardware-reduced platforms, the feature has been extended for all platforms. The reasoning is that we do not want to abort the entire ACPICA initialization just because the system is seriously buggy and has no FACS.
Fixed a problem where the GUID strings for NFIT tables (in acuuid.h) were not correctly transcribed from the ACPI specification in ACPICA version 20150515.
Implemented support for the _CLS object in the AcpiGetObjectInfo external interface.
Updated the definitions of the TCPA and TPM2 ACPI tables to the more recent TCG ACPI Specification, December 14, 2014. Table disassembler and compiler also updated. Note: The TCPA "server" table is not supported by the disassembler/table-compiler at this time.
ACPI 6.0: Added definitions for the new GIC version field in the MADT.
Example Code and Data Size: These are the sizes for the OS-independent acpica.lib produced by the Microsoft Visual C++ 9.0 32-bit compiler. The debug version of the code includes the debug output trace mechanism and has a much larger code and data size.
Current Release: Non-Debug Version: 100.6K Code, 27.6K Data, 128.2K Total Debug Version: 196.2K Code, 81.0K Data, 277.2K Total Previous Release: Non-Debug Version: 99.9K Code, 27.5K Data, 127.4K Total Debug Version: 195.2K Code, 80.8K Data, 276.0K Total
2) iASL Compiler/Disassembler and Tools:
Disassembler: Fixed a problem with the new symbolic operator disassembler where incorrect ASL code could be emitted in some cases for the "non- commutative" operators -- Subtract, Divide, Modulo, ShiftLeft, and ShiftRight. The actual problem cases seem to be rather unusual in common ASL code, however. David Box.
Modified the linux version of acpidump to obtain ACPI tables from not just /dev/mem (which may not exist) and /sys/firmware/acpi/tables. Lv Zheng.
iASL: Fixed a problem where the user preprocessor output file (.i) contained extra data that was not expected. The compiler was using this file as a temporary file and passed through #line directives in order to keep compiler error messages in sync with the input file and line number across multiple include files. The (.i) is no longer a temporary file as the compiler uses a new, different file for the original purpose.
iASL: Fixed a problem where comments within the original ASL source code file were not passed through to the preprocessor output file, nor any listing files.
iASL: Fixed some issues for the handling of the "#include" preprocessor directive and the similar (but not the same) "Include" ASL operator.
iASL: Add support for the new OSDT in both the disassembler and compiler.
iASL: Fixed a problem with the constant folding support where a Buffer object could be incorrectly generated (incorrectly formed) during a conversion to a Store() operator.
AcpiHelp: Updated for new NFIT GUIDs, "External" AML opcode, and new description text for the _REV predefined name. _REV now permanently returns 2, as per the ACPI 6.0 specification.
Debugger: Enhanced the output of the Debug ASL object for references produced by the Index operator. For Buffers and strings, only output the actual byte pointed to by the index. For packages, only print the single package element decoded by the index. Previously, the entire buffer/string/package was emitted.
iASL/Table-compiler: Fixed a regression where the "generic" data types were no longer recognized, causing errors.
---------------------------------------- 15 May 2015. Summary of changes for version 20150515:
This release implements most of ACPI 6.0 as described below.
1) ACPICA kernel-resident subsystem:
Implemented runtime argument checking and return value checking for all new ACPI 6.0 predefined names. This includes: _BTH, _CR3, _DSD, _LPI, _MTL, _PRR, _RDI, _RST, _TFP, _TSN.
Example Code and Data Size: These are the sizes for the OS-independent acpica.lib produced by the Microsoft Visual C++ 9.0 32-bit compiler. The debug version of the code includes the debug output trace mechanism and has a much larger code and data size.
Current Release: Non-Debug Version: 99.9K Code, 27.5K Data, 127.4K Total Debug Version: 195.2K Code, 80.8K Data, 276.0K Total Previous Release: Non-Debug Version: 99.1K Code, 27.3K Data, 126.4K Total Debug Version: 192.8K Code, 79.9K Data, 272.7K Total
2) iASL Compiler/Disassembler and Tools:
iASL compiler: Added compile-time support for all new ACPI 6.0 predefined names (argument count validation and return value typechecking.)
iASL disassembler and table compiler: implemented support for all new ACPI 6.0 tables. This includes: DRTM, IORT, LPIT, NFIT, STAO, WPBT, XENV.
iASL disassembler and table compiler: Added ACPI 6.0 changes to existing tables: FADT, MADT.
iASL preprocessor: Added a new directive to enable inclusion of binary blobs into ASL code. The new directive is #includebuffer. It takes a binary file as input and emits a named ascii buffer object into the ASL code.
AcpiHelp: Added support for all new ACPI 6.0 predefined names.
AcpiHelp: Added a new option, -d, to display all iASL preprocessor directives.
AcpiHelp: Added a new option, -t, to display all known/supported ACPI tables.

---------------------------------------- 10 April 2015. Summary of changes for version 20150410:
Reverted a change introduced in version 20150408 that caused a regression in the disassembler where incorrect operator symbols could be emitted.
---------------------------------------- 08 April 2015. Summary of changes for version 20150408:
1) ACPICA kernel-resident subsystem:
Permanently set the return value for the _REV predefined name. It now returns 2 (was 5). This matches other ACPI implementations. _REV will be deprecated in the future, and is now defined to be 1 for ACPI 1.0, and 2 for ACPI 2.0 and later. It should never be used to differentiate or identify operating systems.
Added the "Windows 2015" string to the _OSI support. ACPICA will now return TRUE to a query with this string.
Fixed several issues with the local version of the printf function.
Added the C99 compiler option (-std=c99) to the Unix makefiles.
Current Release: Non-Debug Version: 99.9K Code, 27.4K Data, 127.3K Total Debug Version: 195.2K Code, 80.7K Data, 275.9K Total Previous Release: Non-Debug Version: 98.8K Code, 27.3K Data, 126.1K Total Debug Version: 192.1K Code, 79.8K Data, 271.9K Total
2) iASL Compiler/Disassembler and Tools:
iASL: Implemented an enhancement to the constant folding feature to transform the parse tree to a simple Store operation whenever possible: Add (2, 3, X) ==> is converted to: Store (5, X) X = 2 + 3 ==> is converted to: Store (5, X)
Updated support for the SLIC table (Software Licensing Description Table) in both the Data Table compiler and the disassembler. The SLIC table support now conforms to "Microsoft Software Licensing Tables (SLIC and MSDM). November 29, 2011. Copyright 2011 Microsoft". Note: Any SLIC data following the ACPI header is now defined to be "Proprietary Data", and as such, can only be entered or displayed as a hex data block.
Implemented full support for the MSDM table as described in the document above. Note: The format of MSDM is similar to SLIC. Any MSDM data following the ACPI header is defined to be "Proprietary Data", and can only be entered or displayed as a hex data block.
Implemented the -Pn option for the iASL Table Compiler (was only implemented for the ASL compiler). This option disables the iASL preprocessor.
Disassembler: For disassembly of Data Tables, added a comment field around the Ascii equivalent data that is emitted as part of the "Raw Table Data" block. This prevents the iASL Preprocessor from possible confusion if/when the table is compiled.
Disassembler: Added an option (-df) to force the disassembler to assume that the table being disassembled contains valid AML. This feature is useful for disassembling AML files that contain ACPI signatures other than DSDT or SSDT (such as OEMx or other signatures).
Changes for the EFI version of the tools: 1) Fixed a build error/issue 2) Fixed a cast warning
iASL: Fixed a path issue with the __FILE__ operator by making the directory prefix optional within the internal SplitInputFilename function.
Debugger: Removed some unused global variables.
Tests: Updated the makefile for proper generation of the AAPITS suite.
---------------------------------------- 04 February 2015. Summary of changes for version 20150204:
ACPICA kernel-resident subsystem:
Updated all ACPICA copyrights and signons to 2014. Added the 2014 copyright to all module headers and signons, including the standard Linux header. This affects virtually every file in the ACPICA core subsystem, iASL compiler, all ACPICA utilities, and the test suites.
Events: Introduce ACPI_GPE_DISPATCH_RAW_HANDLER to fix GPE storm issues. A raw gpe handling mechanism was created to allow better handling of GPE storms that aren't easily managed by the normal handler. The raw handler allows disabling/renabling of the the GPE so that interrupt storms can be avoided in cases where events cannot be timely serviced. In this scenario, handlers should use the AcpiSetGpe() API to disable/enable the GPE. This API will leave the reference counts undisturbed, thereby preventing unintentional clearing of the GPE when the intent in only to temporarily disable it. Raw handlers allow enabling and disabling of a GPE by removing GPE register locking. As such, raw handlers much provide their own locks while using GPE API's to protect access to GPE data structures. Lv Zheng
Events: Always modify GPE registers under the GPE lock. Applies GPE lock around AcpiFinishGpe() to protect access to GPE register values. Reported as bug by joe.liu@apple.com.
Unix makefiles: Separate option to disable optimizations and _FORTIFY_SOURCE. This change removes the _FORTIFY_SOURCE flag from the NOOPT disable option and creates a separate flag (NOFORTIFY) for this purpose. Some toolchains may define _FORTIFY_SOURCE which leads redefined errors when building ACPICA. This allows disabling the option without also having to disable optimazations. David Box
Current Release: Non-Debug Version: 101.7K Code, 27.9K Data, 129.6K Total Debug Version: 199.2K Code, 82.4K Data, 281.6K Total
---------------------------------------- 07 November 2014. Summary of changes for version 20141107:
This release is available at https://acpica.org/downloads
This release introduces and implements language extensions to ASL that provide support for symbolic ("C-style") operators and expressions. These language extensions are known collectively as ASL+.
1) iASL Compiler/Disassembler and Tools:
Disassembler: Fixed a problem with disassembly of the UartSerialBus macro. Changed "StopBitsNone" to the correct "StopBitsZero". David E. Box.
Disassembler: Fixed the Unicode macro support to add escape sequences. All non-printable ASCII values are emitted as escape sequences, as well as the standard escapes for quote and backslash. Ensures that the disassembled macro can be correctly recompiled.
iASL: Added Printf/Fprintf macros for formatted output. These macros are translated to existing AML Concatenate and Store operations. Printf writes to the ASL Debug object. Fprintf allows the specification of an ASL name as the target. Only a single format specifier is required, %o, since the AML interpreter dynamically converts objects to the required type. David E. Box.
(old) Store (Concatenate (Concatenate (Concatenate (Concatenate (Concatenate (Concatenate (Concatenate ("", Arg0), ": Unexpected value for "), Arg1), ", "), Arg2), " at line "), Arg3), Debug)
(new) Printf ("%o: Unexpected value for %o, %o at line %o", Arg0, Arg1, Arg2, Arg3)
(old) Store (Concatenate (Concatenate (Concatenate (Concatenate ("", Arg1), ": "), Arg0), " Successful"), STR1)
(new) Fprintf (STR1, "%o: %o Successful", Arg1, Arg0)
iASL: Added debug options (-bp, -bt) to dynamically prune levels of the ASL parse tree before the AML code is generated. This allows blocks of ASL code to be removed in order to help locate and identify problem devices and/or code. David E. Box.
AcpiExec: Added support (-fi) for an optional namespace object initialization file. This file specifies initial values for namespace objects as necessary for debugging and testing different ASL code paths that may be taken as a result of BIOS options.
2) Overview of symbolic operator support for ASL (ASL+) -------------------------------------------------------
As an extension to the ASL language, iASL implements support for symbolic (C-style) operators for math and logical expressions. This can greatly simplify ASL code as well as improve both readability and maintainability. These language extensions can exist concurrently with all legacy ASL code and expressions.
The symbolic extensions are 100% compatible with existing AML interpreters, since no new AML opcodes are created. To implement the extensions, the iASL compiler transforms the symbolic expressions into the legacy ASL/AML equivalents at compile time.
Full symbolic expressions are supported, along with the standard C precedence and associativity rules.
Full disassembler support for the symbolic expressions is provided, and creates an automatic migration path for existing ASL code to ASL+ code via the disassembly process. By default, the disassembler now emits ASL+ code with symbolic expressions. An option (-dl) is provided to force the disassembler to emit legacy ASL code if desired.
Below is the complete list of the currently supported symbolic operators with examples. See the iASL User Guide for additional information.
ASL+ Syntax Legacy ASL Equivalent ----------- ---------------------
// Math operators
Z = X + Y Add (X, Y, Z) Z = X - Y Subtract (X, Y, Z) Z = X * Y Multiply (X, Y, Z) Z = X / Y Divide (X, Y, , Z) Z = X % Y Mod (X, Y, Z) Z = X << Y ShiftLeft (X, Y, Z) Z = X >> Y ShiftRight (X, Y, Z) Z = X & Y And (X, Y, Z) Z = X | Y Or (X, Y, Z) Z = X ^ Y Xor (X, Y, Z) Z = ~X Not (X, Z) X++ Increment (X) X-- Decrement (X)
// Logical operators
(X == Y) LEqual (X, Y) (X != Y) LNotEqual (X, Y) (X < Y) LLess (X, Y) (X > Y) LGreater (X, Y) (X <= Y) LLessEqual (X, Y) (X >= Y) LGreaterEqual (X, Y) (X && Y) LAnd (X, Y) (X || Y) LOr (X, Y) (!X) LNot (X)
// Assignment and compound assignment operations
X = Y Store (Y, X) X += Y Add (X, Y, X) X -= Y Subtract (X, Y, X) X *= Y Multiply (X, Y, X) X /= Y Divide (X, Y, , X) X %= Y Mod (X, Y, X) X <<= Y ShiftLeft (X, Y, X) X >>= Y ShiftRight (X, Y, X) X &= Y And (X, Y, X) X |= Y Or (X, Y, X) X ^= Y Xor (X, Y, X)
3) ASL+ Examples: -----------------
Legacy ASL: If (LOr (LOr (LEqual (And (R510, 0x03FB), 0x02E0), LEqual ( And (R520, 0x03FB), 0x02E0)), LOr (LEqual (And (R530, 0x03FB), 0x02E0), LEqual (And (R540, 0x03FB), 0x02E0)))) { And (MEMB, 0xFFFFFFF0, SRMB) Store (MEMB, Local2) Store (PDBM, Local1) And (PDBM, 0xFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF9, PDBM) Store (SRMB, MEMB) Or (PDBM, 0x02, PDBM) }
ASL+ version: If (((R510 & 0x03FB) == 0x02E0) || ((R520 & 0x03FB) == 0x02E0) || ((R530 & 0x03FB) == 0x02E0) || ((R540 & 0x03FB) == 0x02E0)) { SRMB = (MEMB & 0xFFFFFFF0) Local2 = MEMB Local1 = PDBM PDBM &= 0xFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF9 MEMB = SRMB PDBM |= 0x02 }
Legacy ASL: Store (0x1234, Local1) Multiply (Add (Add (Local1, TEST), 0x20), Local2, Local3) Multiply (Local2, Add (Add (Local1, TEST), 0x20), Local3) Add (Local1, Add (TEST, Multiply (0x20, Local2)), Local3) Store (Index (PKG1, 0x03), Local6) Store (Add (Local3, Local2), Debug) Add (Local1, 0x0F, Local2) Add (Local1, Multiply (Local2, Local3), Local2) Multiply (Add (Add (Local1, TEST), 0x20), ToBCD (Local1), Local3)
ASL+ version: Local1 = 0x1234 Local3 = (((Local1 + TEST) + 0x20) * Local2) Local3 = (Local2 * ((Local1 + TEST) + 0x20)) Local3 = (Local1 + (TEST + (0x20 * Local2))) Local6 = Index (PKG1, 0x03) Debug = (Local3 + Local2) Local2 = (Local1 + 0x0F) Local2 = (Local1 + (Local2 * Local3)) Local3 = (((Local1 + TEST) + 0x20) * ToBCD (Local1))

---------------------------------------- 26 September 2014. Summary of changes for version 20140926:
1) ACPICA kernel-resident subsystem:
Updated the GPIO operation region handler interface (GeneralPurposeIo). In order to support GPIO Connection objects with multiple pins, along with the related Field objects, the following changes to the interface have been made: The Address is now defined to be the offset in bits of the field unit from the previous invocation of a Connection. It can be viewed as a "Pin Number Index" into the connection resource descriptor. The BitWidth is the exact bit width of the field. It is usually one bit, but not always. See the ACPICA reference guide (section 8.8.6.2.1) for additional information and examples.
GPE support: During ACPICA/GPE initialization, ensure that all GPEs with corresponding _Lxx/_Exx methods are disabled (they may have been enabled by the firmware), so that they cannot fire until they are enabled via AcpiUpdateAllGpes. Rafael J. Wysocki.
Added a new return flag for the Event/GPE status interfaces -- AcpiGetEventStatus and AcpiGetGpeStatus. The new ACPI_EVENT_FLAGS_HAS_HANDLER flag is used to indicate that the event or GPE currently has a handler associated with it, and can thus actually affect the system. Lv Zheng.
Example Code and Data Size: These are the sizes for the OS-independent acpica.lib produced by the Microsoft Visual C++ 9.0 32-bit compiler. The debug version of the code includes the debug output trace mechanism and has a much larger code and data size.
Current Release: Non-Debug Version: 99.1K Code, 27.3K Data, 126.4K Total Debug Version: 192.8K Code, 79.9K Data, 272.7K Total Previous Release: Non-Debug Version: 98.8K Code, 27.3K Data, 126.1K Total Debug Version: 192.1K Code, 79.8K Data, 271.9K Total
2) iASL Compiler/Disassembler and Tools:
iASL: Fixed a memory allocation/free regression introduced in 20140828 that could cause the compiler to crash. This was introduced inadvertently during the effort to eliminate compiler memory leaks. ACPICA BZ 1111, 1113.
iASL: Removed two error messages that have been found to create false positives, until they can be fixed and fully validated (ACPICA BZ 1112): 1) Illegal forward reference within a method 2) Illegal reference across two methods
iASL: Implemented a new option (-lm) to create a hardware mapping file that summarizes all GPIO, I2C, SPI, and UART connections. This option works for both the compiler and disassembler. See the iASL compiler user guide for additional information and examples (section 6.4.6).
AcpiDump: Added support for the version 1 (ACPI 1.0) RSDP in addition to version 2. This corrects the AE_BAD_HEADER exception seen on systems with a version 1 RSDP. Lv Zheng ACPICA BZ 1097.
AcpiExec: For Unix versions, don't attempt to put STDIN into raw mode unless STDIN is actually a terminal. Assists with batch-mode processing. ACPICA BZ 1114.
Disassembler/AcpiHelp: Added another large group of recognized _HID values.
---------------------------------------- 28 August 2014. Summary of changes for version 20140828:
1) ACPICA kernel-resident subsystem:
Fixed a problem related to the internal use of the Timer() operator where a 64-bit divide could cause an attempted link to a double-precision math library. This divide is not actually necessary, so the code was restructured to eliminate it. Lv Zheng.
ACPI 5.1: Added support for the runtime validation of the _DSD package (similar to the iASL support).
ACPI 5.1/Headers: Added support for the GICC affinity subtable to the SRAT table. Hanjun Guo <hanjun.guo@linaro.org>.
Example Code and Data Size: These are the sizes for the OS-independent acpica.lib produced by the Microsoft Visual C++ 9.0 32-bit compiler. The debug version of the code includes the debug output trace mechanism and has a much larger code and data size.
Current Release: Non-Debug Version: 98.8K Code, 27.3K Data, 126.1K Total Debug Version: 192.1K Code, 79.8K Data, 271.9K Total Previous Release: Non-Debug Version: 98.7K Code, 27.3K Data, 126.0K Total1 Debug Version: 192.0K Code, 79.7K Data, 271.7K Total
2) iASL Compiler/Disassembler and Tools:
AcpiExec: Fixed a problem on unix systems where the original terminal state was not always properly restored upon exit. Seen when using the -v option. ACPICA BZ 1104.
iASL: Fixed a problem with the validation of the ranges/length within the Memory24 resource descriptor. There was a boundary condition when the range was equal to the (length -1) caused by the fact that these values are defined in 256-byte blocks, not bytes. ACPICA BZ 1098
Disassembler: Fixed a problem with the GpioInt descriptor interrupt polarity flags. The flags are actually 2 bits, not 1, and the "ActiveBoth" keyword is now supported properly.
ACPI 5.1: Added the GICC affinity subtable to the SRAT table. Supported in the disassembler, data table compiler, and table template generator.
iASL: Added a requirement for Device() objects that one of either a _HID or _ADR must exist within the scope of a Device, as per the ACPI specification. Remove a similar requirement that was incorrectly in place for the _DSD object.
iASL: Added error detection for illegal named references within control methods that would cause runtime failures. Now trapped as errors are: 1) References to objects within a non-parent control method. 2) Forward references (within a method) -- for control methods, AML interpreters use a one-pass parse of control methods. ACPICA BZ 1008.
iASL: Added error checking for dependencies related to the _PSx power methods. ACPICA BZ 1029. 1) For _PS0, one of these must exist within the same scope: _PS1, _PS2, _PS3. 2) For _PS1, _PS2, and PS3: A _PS0 object must exist within the same scope.
iASL and table compiler: Cleanup miscellaneous memory leaks by fully deploying the existing object and string caches and adding new caches for the table compiler.
iASL: Split the huge parser source file into multiple subfiles to improve manageability. Generation now requires the M4 macro preprocessor, which is part of the Bison distribution on both unix and windows platforms.
AcpiSrc: Fixed and removed all extraneous warnings generated during entire ACPICA source code scan and/or conversion.
----------------------------------------
24 July 2014. Summary of changes for version 20140724:

Fixed a regression introduced in 20140627 where a fault can happen during the deletion of Alias AML namespace objects. The problem affected both the core ACPICA and the ACPICA tools including iASL and AcpiExec.
Implemented a new GPE public interface, AcpiMarkGpeForWake. Provides a simple mechanism to enable wake GPEs that have no associated handler or control method. Rafael Wysocki.
Updated the AcpiEnableGpe interface to disallow the enable if there is no handler or control method associated with the particular GPE. This will help avoid meaningless GPEs and even GPE floods. Rafael Wysocki.
Updated GPE handling and dispatch by disabling the GPE before clearing the status bit for edge-triggered GPEs. Lv Zheng.
Added Timer() support to the AML Debug object. The current timer value is now displayed with each invocation of (Store to) the debug object to enable simple generation of execution times for AML code (method execution for example.) ACPICA BZ 1093.
Example Code and Data Size: These are the sizes for the OS-independent acpica.lib produced by the Microsoft Visual C++ 9.0 32-bit compiler. The debug version of the code includes the debug output trace mechanism and has a much larger code and data size.
Current Release: Non-Debug Version: 98.7K Code, 27.3K Data, 126.0K Total Debug Version: 192.0K Code, 79.7K Data, 271.7K Total Previous Release: Non-Debug Version: 98.7K Code, 27.2K Data, 125.9K Total Debug Version: 191.7K Code, 79.6K Data, 271.3K Total
2) iASL Compiler/Disassembler and Tools:
Fixed an issue with the recently added local printf implementation, concerning width/precision specifiers that could cause incorrect output. Lv Zheng. ACPICA BZ 1094.
Disassembler: Added support to detect buffers that contain UUIDs and disassemble them to an invocation of the ToUUID operator. Also emit commented descriptions of known ACPI-related UUIDs.
AcpiHelp: Added support to display known ACPI-related UUIDs. New option, -u. Adds three new files.
iASL: Update table compiler and disassembler for DMAR table changes that were introduced in September 2013. With assistance by David Woodhouse.
---------------------------------------- 27 June 2014. Summary of changes for version 20140627:
1) ACPICA kernel-resident subsystem:
Formatted Output: Implemented local versions of standard formatted output utilities such as printf, etc. Over time, it has been discovered that there are in fact many portability issues with printf, and the addition of this feature will fix/prevent these issues once and for all. Some known issues are summarized below:
1) Output of 64-bit values is not portable. For example, UINT64 is %ull for the Linux kernel and is %uI64 for some MSVC versions. 2) Invoking printf consistently in a manner that is portable across both 32-bit and 64-bit platforms is difficult at best in many situations. 3) The output format for pointers varies from system to system (leading zeros especially), and leads to inconsistent output from ACPICA across platforms. 4) Certain platform-specific printf formats may conflict with ACPICA use. 5) If there is no local C library available, ACPICA now has local support for printf.
-- To address these printf issues in a complete manner, ACPICA now directly implements a small subset of printf format specifiers, only those that it requires. Adds a new file, utilities/utprint.c. Lv Zheng.
Implemented support for ACPICA generation within the EFI environment. Initially, the AcpiDump utility is supported in the UEFI shell environment. Lv Zheng.
Added a new external interface, AcpiLogError, to improve ACPICA portability. This allows the host to redirect error messages from the ACPICA utilities. Lv Zheng.
Added and deployed new OSL file I/O interfaces to improve ACPICA portability: AcpiOsOpenFile AcpiOsCloseFile AcpiOsReadFile AcpiOsWriteFile AcpiOsGetFileOffset AcpiOsSetFileOffset There are C library implementations of these functions in the new file service_layers/oslibcfs.c -- however, the functions can be implemented by the local host in any way necessary. Lv Zheng.
Implemented a mechanism to disable/enable ACPI table checksum validation at runtime. This can be useful when loading tables very early during OS initialization when it may not be possible to map the entire table in order to compute the checksum. Lv Zheng.
Fixed a buffer allocation issue for the Generic Serial Bus support. Originally, a fixed buffer length was used. This change allows for variable-length buffers based upon the protocol indicated by the field access attributes. Reported by Lan Tianyu. Lv Zheng.
Fixed a problem where an object detached from a namespace node was not properly terminated/cleared and could cause a circular list problem if reattached. ACPICA BZ 1063. David Box.
Fixed a possible recursive lock acquisition in hwregs.c. Rakib Mullick.
Fixed a possible memory leak in an error return path within the function AcpiUtCopyIobjectToIobject. ACPICA BZ 1087. Colin Ian King.
Example Code and Data Size: These are the sizes for the OS-independent acpica.lib produced by the Microsoft Visual C++ 9.0 32-bit compiler. The debug version of the code includes the debug output trace mechanism and has a much larger code and data size.
Current Release: Non-Debug Version: 98.7K Code, 27.2K Data, 125.9K Total Debug Version: 191.7K Code, 79.6K Data, 271.3K Total Previous Release: Non-Debug Version: 96.8K Code, 27.2K Data, 124.0K Total Debug Version: 189.5K Code, 79.7K Data, 269.2K Total
2) iASL Compiler/Disassembler and Tools:
Disassembler: Add dump of ASCII equivalent text within a comment at the end of each line of the output for the Buffer() ASL operator.
AcpiDump: Miscellaneous changes: Fixed repetitive table dump in -n mode. For older EFI platforms, use the ACPI 1.0 GUID during RSDP search if the ACPI 2.0 GUID fails.
iASL: Fixed a problem where the compiler could fault if incorrectly given an acpidump output file as input. ACPICA BZ 1088. David Box.
AcpiExec/AcpiNames: Fixed a problem where these utilities could fault if they are invoked without any arguments.
Debugger: Fixed a possible memory leak in an error return path. ACPICA BZ 1086. Colin Ian King.
Disassembler: Cleaned up a block of code that extracts a parent Op object. Added a comment that explains that the parent is guaranteed to be valid in this case. ACPICA BZ 1069.
---------------------------------------- 24 April 2014. Summary of changes for version 20140424:
1) ACPICA kernel-resident subsystem:
Implemented support to skip/ignore NULL address entries in the RSDT/XSDT. Some of these tables are known to contain a trailing NULL entry. Lv Zheng.
Removed an extraneous error message for the case where there are a large number of system GPEs (> 124). This was the "32-bit FADT register is too long to convert to GAS struct" message, which is irrelevant for GPEs since the GPEx_BLK_LEN fields of the FADT are always used instead of the (limited capacity) GAS bit length. Also, several changes to ensure proper support for GPE numbers > 255, where some "GPE number" fields were 8-bits internally.
Implemented and deployed additional configuration support for the public ACPICA external interfaces. Entire classes of interfaces can now be easily modified or configured out, replaced by stubbed inline functions by default. Lv Zheng.
Moved all public ACPICA runtime configuration globals to the public ACPICA external interface file for convenience. Also, removed some obsolete/unused globals. See the file acpixf.h. Lv Zheng.
Documentation: Added a new section to the ACPICA reference describing the maximum number of GPEs that can be supported by the FADT-defined GPEs in block zero and one. About 1200 total. See section 4.4.1 of the ACPICA reference.
Example Code and Data Size: These are the sizes for the OS-independent acpica.lib produced by the Microsoft Visual C++ 9.0 32-bit compiler. The debug version of the code includes the debug output trace mechanism and has a much larger code and data size.
Current Release: Non-Debug Version: 96.8K Code, 27.2K Data, 124.0K Total Debug Version: 189.5K Code, 79.7K Data, 269.2K Total Previous Release: Non-Debug Version: 97.0K Code, 27.2K Data, 124.2K Total Debug Version: 189.7K Code, 79.5K Data, 269.2K Total
2) iASL Compiler/Disassembler and Tools:
iASL and disassembler: Add full support for the LPIT table (Low Power Idle Table). Includes support in the disassembler, data table compiler, and template generator.
AcpiDump utility: 1) Add option to force the use of the RSDT (over the XSDT). 2) Improve validation of the RSDP signature (use 8 chars instead of 4).
iASL: Add check for predefined packages that are too large. For predefined names that contain subpackages, check if each subpackage is too large. (Check for too small already exists.)
Debugger: Updated the GPE command (which simulates a GPE by executing the GPE code paths in ACPICA). The GPE device is now optional, and defaults to the GPE 0/1 FADT-defined blocks.
Unix application OSL: Update line-editing support. Add additional error checking and take care not to reset terminal attributes on exit if they were never set. This should help guarantee that the terminal is always left in the previous state on program exit.
---------------------------------------- 25 March 2014. Summary of changes for version 20140325:
1) ACPICA kernel-resident subsystem:
Updated the auto-serialize feature for control methods. This feature automatically serializes all methods that create named objects in order to prevent runtime errors. The update adds support to ignore the currently executing AML SyncLevel when invoking such a method, in order to prevent disruption of any existing SyncLevel priorities that may exist in the AML code. Although the use of SyncLevels is relatively rare, this change fixes a regression where an AE_AML_MUTEX_ORDER exception can appear on some machines starting with the 20140214 release.
Added a new external interface to allow the host to install ACPI tables very early, before the namespace is even created. AcpiInstallTable gives the host additional flexibility for ACPI table management. Tables can be installed directly by the host as if they had originally appeared in the XSDT/RSDT. Installed tables can be SSDTs or other ACPI data tables (anything except the DSDT and FACS). Adds a new file, tbdata.c, along with additional internal restructuring and cleanup. See the ACPICA Reference for interface details. Lv Zheng.
Added validation of the checksum for all incoming dynamically loaded tables (via external interfaces or via AML Load/LoadTable operators). Lv Zheng.
Updated the use of the AcpiOsWaitEventsComplete interface during Notify and GPE handler removal. Restructured calls to eliminate possible race conditions. Lv Zheng.
Added a warning for the use/execution of the ASL/AML Unload (table) operator. This will help detect and identify machines that use this operator if and when it is ever used. This operator has never been seen in the field and the usage model and possible side-effects of the drastic runtime action of a full table removal are unknown.
Reverted the use of #pragma push/pop which was introduced in the 20140214 release. It appears that push and pop are not implemented by enough compilers to make the use of this feature feasible for ACPICA at this time. However, these operators may be deployed in a future ACPICA release.
Added the missing EXPORT_SYMBOL macros for the install and remove SCI handler interfaces.
Source code generation: 1) Disabled the use of the "strchr" macro for the gcc-specific generation. For some versions of gcc, this macro can periodically expose a compiler bug which in turn causes compile-time error(s). 2) Added support for PPC64 compilation. Colin Ian King.
Example Code and Data Size: These are the sizes for the OS-independent acpica.lib produced by the Microsoft Visual C++ 9.0 32-bit compiler. The debug version of the code includes the debug output trace mechanism and has a much larger code and data size.
Current Release: Non-Debug Version: 97.0K Code, 27.2K Data, 124.2K Total Debug Version: 189.7K Code, 79.5K Data, 269.2K Total Previous Release: Non-Debug Version: 96.5K Code, 27.2K Data, 123.7K Total Debug Version: 188.6K Code, 79.0K Data, 267.6K Total
2) iASL Compiler/Disassembler and Tools:
Disassembler: Added several new features to improve the readability of the resulting ASL code. Extra information is emitted within comment fields in the ASL code: 1) Known _HID/_CID values are decoded to descriptive text. 2) Standard values for the Notify() operator are decoded to descriptive text. 3) Target operands are expanded to full pathnames (in a comment) when possible.
Disassembler: Miscellaneous updates for extern() handling: 1) Abort compiler if file specified by -fe option does not exist. 2) Silence unnecessary warnings about argument count mismatches. 3) Update warning messages concerning unresolved method externals. 4) Emit "UnknownObj" keyword for externals whose type cannot be determined.
AcpiHelp utility: 1) Added the -a option to display both the ASL syntax and the AML encoding for an input ASL operator. This effectively displays all known information about an ASL operator with one AcpiHelp invocation. 2) Added substring match support (similar to a wildcard) for the -i (_HID/PNP IDs) option.
iASL/Disassembler: Since this tool does not yet support execution on big- endian machines, added detection of endianness and an error message if execution is attempted on big-endian. Support for big-endian within iASL is a feature that is on the ACPICA to-be-done list.
AcpiBin utility: 1) Remove option to extract binary files from an acpidump; this function is made obsolete by the AcpiXtract utility. 2) General cleanup of open files and allocated buffers.
---------------------------------------- 14 February 2014. Summary of changes for version 20140214:
1) ACPICA kernel-resident subsystem:
Implemented a new mechanism to proactively prevent problems with ill- behaved reentrant control methods that create named ACPI objects. This behavior is illegal as per the ACPI specification, but is nonetheless frequently seen in the field. Previously, this could lead to an AE_ALREADY_EXISTS exception if the method was actually entered by more than one thread. This new mechanism detects such methods at table load time and marks them "serialized" to prevent reentrancy. A new global option, AcpiGbl_AutoSerializeMethods, has been added to disable this feature if desired. This mechanism and global option obsoletes and supersedes the previous AcpiGbl_SerializeAllMethods option.
Added the "Windows 2013" string to the _OSI support. ACPICA will now respond TRUE to _OSI queries with this string. It is the stated policy of ACPICA to add new strings to the _OSI support as soon as possible after they are defined. See the full ACPICA _OSI policy which has been added to the utilities/utosi.c file.
Hardened/updated the _PRT return value auto-repair code: 1) Do not abort the repair on a single subpackage failure, continue to check all subpackages. 2) Add check for the minimum subpackage length (4). 3) Properly handle extraneous NULL package elements.
Added support to avoid the possibility of infinite loops when traversing object linked lists. Never allow an infinite loop, even in the face of corrupted object lists.
ACPICA headers: Deployed the use of #pragma pack(push) and #pragma pack(pop) directives to ensure that the ACPICA headers are independent of compiler settings or other host headers.
Example Code and Data Size: These are the sizes for the OS-independent acpica.lib produced by the Microsoft Visual C++ 9.0 32-bit compiler. The debug version of the code includes the debug output trace mechanism and has a much larger code and data size.
Current Release: Non-Debug Version: 96.5K Code, 27.2K Data, 123.7K Total Debug Version: 188.6K Code, 79.0K Data, 267.6K Total Previous Release: Non-Debug Version: 96.2K Code, 27.0K Data, 123.2K Total Debug Version: 187.5K Code, 78.3K Data, 265.8K Total
2) iASL Compiler/Disassembler and Tools:
iASL/Table-compiler: Fixed a problem with support for the SPMI table. The first reserved field was incorrectly forced to have a value of zero. This change correctly forces the field to have a value of one. ACPICA BZ 1081.
Debugger: Added missing support for the "Extra" and "Data" subobjects when displaying object data.
Debugger: Added support to display entire object linked lists when displaying object data.
iASL: Removed the obsolete -g option to obtain ACPI tables from the Windows registry. This feature has been superseded by the acpidump utility.
---------------------------------------- 14 January 2014. Summary of changes for version 20140114:
1) ACPICA kernel-resident subsystem:
Updated all ACPICA copyrights and signons to 2014. Added the 2014 copyright to all module headers and signons, including the standard Linux header. This affects virtually every file in the ACPICA core subsystem, iASL compiler, all ACPICA utilities, and the test suites.
Improved parameter validation for AcpiInstallGpeBlock. Added the following checks: 1) The incoming device handle refers to type ACPI_TYPE_DEVICE. 2) There is not already a GPE block attached to the device. Likewise, with AcpiRemoveGpeBlock, ensure that the incoming object is a device.
Correctly support "references" in the ACPI_OBJECT. This change fixes the support to allow references (namespace nodes) to be passed as arguments to control methods via the evaluate object interface. This is probably most useful for testing purposes, however.
Improved support for 32/64 bit physical addresses in printf()-like output. This change improves the support for physical addresses in printf debug statements and other output on both 32-bit and 64-bit hosts. It consistently outputs the appropriate number of bytes for each host. The %p specifier is unsatisfactory since it does not emit uniform output on all hosts/clib implementations (on some, leading zeros are not supported, leading to difficult-to-read output).
Example Code and Data Size: These are the sizes for the OS-independent acpica.lib produced by the Microsoft Visual C++ 9.0 32-bit compiler. The debug version of the code includes the debug output trace mechanism and has a much larger code and data size.
Current Release: Non-Debug Version: 96.2K Code, 27.0K Data, 123.2K Total Debug Version: 187.5K Code, 78.3K Data, 265.8K Total Previous Release: Non-Debug Version: 96.1K Code, 27.0K Data, 123.1K Total Debug Version: 185.6K Code, 77.3K Data, 262.9K Total
2) iASL Compiler/Disassembler and Tools:
iASL: Fix a possible fault when using the Connection() operator. Fixes a problem if the parent Field definition for the Connection operator refers to an operation region that does not exist. ACPICA BZ 1064.
AcpiExec: Load of local test tables is now optional. The utility has the capability to load some various tables to test features of ACPICA. However, there are enough of them that the output of the utility became confusing. With this change, only the required local tables are displayed (RSDP, XSDT, etc.) along with the actual tables loaded via the command line specification. This makes the default output simler and easier to understand. The -el command line option restores the original behavior for testing purposes.
AcpiExec: Added support for overlapping operation regions. This change expands the simulation of operation regions by supporting regions that overlap within the given address space. Supports SystemMemory and SystemIO. ASLTS test suite updated also. David Box. ACPICA BZ 1031.
AcpiExec: Added region handler support for PCI_Config and EC spaces. This allows AcpiExec to simulate these address spaces, similar to the current support for SystemMemory and SystemIO.
Debugger: Added new command to read/write/compare all namespace objects. The command "test objects" will exercise the entire namespace by writing new values to each data object, and ensuring that the write was successful. The original value is then restored and verified.
Debugger: Added the "test predefined" command. This change makes this test public and puts it under the new "test" command. The test executes each and every predefined name within the current namespace.
