ACPICA: Tables: Fix an issue that FACS initialization is performed twice

2015-08-04T18:33:56+00:00

ACPICA commit 90f5332a15e9d9ba83831ca700b2b9f708274658

This patch adds a new FACS initialization flag for acpi_tb_initialize().
acpi_enable_subsystem() might be invoked several times in OS bootup process,
and we don't want FACS initialization to be invoked twice. Lv Zheng.

ACPICA: Utilities: split IO address types from data type models.

2015-05-17T23:12:16+00:00

[ Upstream commit 2b8760100e1de69b6ff004c986328a82947db4ad ]

ACPICA commit aacf863cfffd46338e268b7415f7435cae93b451

It is reported that on a physically 64-bit addressed machine, 32-bit kernel
can trigger crashes in accessing the memory regions that are beyond the
32-bit boundary. The region field's start address should still be 32-bit
compliant, but after a calculation (adding some offsets), it may exceed the
32-bit boundary. This case is rare and buggy, but there are real BIOSes
leaked with such issues (see References below).

This patch fixes this gap by always defining IO addresses as 64-bit, and
allows OSPMs to optimize it for a real 32-bit machine to reduce the size of
the internal objects.

Internal acpi_physical_address usages in the structures that can be fixed
by this change include:
 1. struct acpi_object_region:
    acpi_physical_address		address;
 2. struct acpi_address_range:
    acpi_physical_address		start_address;
    acpi_physical_address		end_address;
 3. struct acpi_mem_space_context;
    acpi_physical_address		address;
 4. struct acpi_table_desc
    acpi_physical_address		address;
See known issues 1 for other usages.

Note that acpi_io_address which is used for ACPI_PROCESSOR may also suffer
from same problem, so this patch changes it accordingly.

For iasl, it will enforce acpi_physical_address as 32-bit to generate
32-bit OSPM compatible tables on 32-bit platforms, we need to define
ACPI_32BIT_PHYSICAL_ADDRESS for it in acenv.h.

Known issues:
 1. Cleanup of mapped virtual address
   In struct acpi_mem_space_context, acpi_physical_address is used as a virtual
   address:
    acpi_physical_address                   mapped_physical_address;
   It is better to introduce acpi_virtual_address or use acpi_size instead.
   This patch doesn't make such a change. Because this should be done along
   with a change to acpi_os_map_memory()/acpi_os_unmap_memory().
   There should be no functional problem to leave this unchanged except
   that only this structure is enlarged unexpectedly.

ACPICA: Events: Reduce source code difference for the ACPI_EVENT_FLAG_HANDLE renaming.

2014-10-20T22:39:40+00:00

This patch is partial linuxized result of the following ACPICA commit:
  ACPICA commit: a73b66c6aa1846d055bb6390d9c9b9902f7d804d
  Subject: Add "has handler" flag to event/gpe status interfaces.
  This change adds a new flag, ACPI_EVENT_FLAGS_HAS_HANDLER to the
  acpi_get_event_status and acpi_get_gpe_status external interfaces. It
  is set if the event/gpe currently has a handler associated with it.
This patch contains the code to rename ACPI_EVENT_FLAG_HANDLE to
ACPI_EVENT_FLAG_HAS_HANDLER, and the corresponding updates of its usages.

ACPICA: Events: Reduce source code difference for the ACPI_EVENT_FLAG_HANDLE support.

  ACPICA commit: a73b66c6aa1846d055bb6390d9c9b9902f7d804d

This commit back ports ACPI_EVENT_FLAG_HANDLE from Linux upstream to
ACPICA, the flag along with its support code currently can only be found
in the Linux upstream and is used by the ACPI sysfs GPE interfaces and
the ACPI bus scanning support.

ACPICA: Utilities: Add formatted printing APIs

2014-07-08T12:22:25+00:00

This patch introduces formatted printing APIs to handle ACPICA specific
formatted print requirements. Currently only specific OSPMs will use this
customized printing support, Linux kernel doesn't use these APIs at this
time. It will be enabled for Linux kernel resident ACPICA after being well
tested. So currently this patch is a no-op.

The specific formatted printing APIs are useful to ACPICA as:
 1. Some portable applications do not link standard C library, so they
    cannot use standard formatted print APIs directly.
 2. Platform specific printing format may differ and thus not portable, for
    example, u64 is %ull for Linux kernel and is %uI64 for some MSVC
    versions.
 3. Platform specific printing format may conflict with ACPICA's usages
    while it is not possible for ACPICA developers to test their code for
    all platforms. For example, developers may generate %pRxxx while Linux
    kernel treats %pR as structured resource printing and decodes variable
    argument as a "struct resource" pointer.
This patch solves above issues by introducing the new APIs.

Note that users of such APIs are not introduced in this patch. Users of
acpi_os_file_vprintf()/acpi_ut_file_printf() need to invoke acpi_os_initialize(),
this should be taken care by the further patches where such users are
introduced. Lv Zheng.

ACPICA: OSL: Add portable file IO to improve portability

2014-07-08T12:22:25+00:00

This patch adds portable file IO to generic OSL to improve the portability
of the applications.

A portable application may use different file IO interfaces than the
standard C library ones. This patch thus introduces an abstract file IO
layer into the generic OSL.

Note that this patch does not introduce users of such interfaces, further
patches should introduce users one by one carefully with build tests
performed. Lv Zheng.

ACPICA: OSL: Add configurability for memory allocation macros.

2014-05-06T22:55:00+00:00

OSPMs like Linux trend to include all header files but leave empty stub
macros for a feature that is not configured during build.

For macros defined without other symbols referencesd it is safe to leave
them without protections.

By investigation, there are only the following internal/external
symbols referenced by the ACPICA macros:
1. C library symbols, including string, ctype, stdarg APIs.  Since such
   symbols are always accessbile in the kernel source tree, it is safe to
   leave macros referencing them without protected for Linux.
2. ACPICA OSL symbols, such symbols are designed to be used only by ACPICA
   internal APIs.  And there are macros directly referencing mutex and
   memory allocation OSL symbols.  We need to examine the external usages
   of such macros.
   For macros referencing the mutex OSL symbols, fortunately, there is no
   external user directly invoking such macros.
   ========================================================================
   !! IMPORTANT !!
   ========================================================================
   For macros referencing memory allocation OSL symbols -
    1. 'free' - ACPI_FREE
    2. 'alloc' - ACPI_ALLOCATE, ACPI_ALLOCATE_ZEROED, ACPI_ALLOCATE_BUFFER,
                 ACPI_ALLOCATE_LOCAL_BUFFER
   there are external users directly invoking 'alloc' macros.  And the more
   complicated situation is the reversals of such macros are not ACPI_FREE
   but acpi_os_free (or kfree) in Linux.  Though we can define such macros
   into no-op, we in fact cannot define their reversals into no-op.
   This patch adds mechanism to protect ACPICA memory allocation APIs for
   Linux so that acpi_os_free (or kfree) invoked in Linux can have a zero
   address returned by 'alloc' macros to free.  In this
   way, acpi_os_free (or kfree) can be converted into no-op.
   ========================================================================
3. ACPI_OFFSET and other macros that would access structure members, we
   need to check if such structure members are not accessible under a
   specific configuration.  Fortunately, currently Linux doesn't use such
   structure members when CONFIG_ACPI is disabled.

This patch thus only adds mechanism useful for implementing stubs for
ACPICA provided macros - the configurability of memory allocation APIs.

This patch doesn't include code for Linux to use this new mechanism, thus
no functional changes.  Lv Zheng.
