ACPICA commit 0e24fb67cde08d7df7671d7d7b183490dc79707e
The MLC (Module Level Code) is an ACPICA terminology describing the AML
code out of any control method, its support is an indication of the
interpreter behavior during the table loading.
The original implementation of MLC in ACPICA had several issues:
1. Out of any control method, besides of the object creating opcodes, only
the code blocks wrapped by "If/Else/While" opcodes were supported.
2. The supported MLC code blocks were executed after loading the table
rather than being executed right in place.
============================================================
The demo of this order issue is as follows:
Name (OBJ1, 1)
If (CND1 == 1)
{
Name (OBJ2, 2)
}
Name (OBJ3, 3)
The original MLC support created OBJ2 after OBJ3's creation.
============================================================
Other than these limitations, MLC support in ACPICA looks correct. And
supporting this should be easy/natural for ACPICA, but enabling of this was
blocked by some ACPICA internal and OSPM specific initialization order
issues we've fixed recently. The wrong support started from the following
false bug fixing commit:
Commit: 7f0c826a43
Subject: ACPICA: Add support for module-level executable AML code
Commit: 9a884ab64a
Subject: ACPICA: Add additional module-level code support
...
We can confirm Windows interpreter behavior via reverse engineering means.
It can be proven that not only If/Else/While wrapped code blocks, all
opcodes can be executed at the module level, including operation region
accesses. And it can be proven that the MLC should be executed right in
place, not in such a deferred way executed after loading the table.
And the above facts indeed reflect the spec words around ACPI definition
block tables (DSDT/SSDT/...), the entire table and the Scope object is
defined by the AML specification in BNF style as:
AMLCode := def_block_header term_list
def_scope := scope_op pkg_length name_string term_list
The bodies of the scope opening terms (AMLCode/Scope) are all term_list,
thus the table loading should be no difference than the control method
evaluations as the body of the Method is also defined by the AML
specification as term_list:
def_method := method_op pkg_length name_string method_flags term_list
The only difference is: after evaluating control method, created named
objects may be freed due to no reference, while named objects created by
the table loading should only be freed after unloading the table.
So this patch follows the spec and the de-facto standard behavior, enables
the new grammar (term_list) for the table loading.
By doing so, beyond the fixes to the above issues, we can see additional
differences comparing to the old grammar based table loading:
1. Originally, beyond the scope opening terms (AMLCode/Scope),
If/Else/While wrapped code blocks under the scope creating terms
(Device/power_resource/Processor/thermal_zone) are also supported as
deferred MLC, which violates the spec defined grammar where object_list
is enforced. With MLC support improved as non-deferred, the interpreter
parses such scope creating terms as term_list rather object_list like the
scope opening terms.
After probing the Windows behavior and proving that it also parses these
terms as term_list, we submitted an ECR (Engineering Change Request) to
the ASWG (ACPI Specification Working Group) to clarify this. The ECR is
titled as "ASL Grammar Clarification for Executable AML Opcodes" and has
been accepted by the ASWG. The new grammar will appear in ACPI
specification 6.2.
2. Originally, Buffer/Package/operation_region/create_XXXField/bank_field
arguments are evaluated in a deferred way after loading the table. With
MLC support improved, they are also parsed right in place during the
table loading.
This is also Windows compliant and the only difference is the removal
of the debugging messages implemented before acpi_ds_execute_arguments(),
see Link # [1] for the details. A previous commit should have ensured
that acpi_check_address_range() won't regress.
Note that enabling this feature may cause regressions due to long term
Linux ACPI support on top of the wrong grammar. So this patch also prepares
a global option to be used to roll back to the old grammar during the
period between a regression is reported and the regression is
root-cause-fixed. Lv Zheng.

This patch enables ACPICA debugger files using a configurable
CONFIG_ACPI_DEBUGGER configuration item. Those debugger related code that
was originally masked as ACPI_FUTURE_USAGE now gets unmasked.
Necessary OSL stubs are also added in this patch:
1. acpi_os_readable(): This should be arch specific in Linux, while this
patch doesn't introduce real implementation and a complex mechanism to
allow architecture specific acpi_os_readable() to be implemented to
validate the address. It may be done by future commits.
2. acpi_os_get_line(): This is used to obtain debugger command input. This
patch only introduces a simple KDB concept example in it and the
example should be co-working with the code implemented in
acpi_os_printf(). Since this KDB example won't be compiled unless
ENABLE_DEBUGGER is defined and it seems Linux has already stopped to
use ENABLE_DEBUGGER, thus do not expect it can work properly.
This patch also cleans up all other ACPI_FUTURE_USAGE surroundings
accordingly.
1. Since linkage error can be automatically detected, declaration in the
headers needn't be surrounded by ACPI_FUTURE_USAGE.
So only the following separate exported fuction bodies are masked by
this macro (other exported fucntions may have already been masked at
entire module level via drivers/acpi/acpica/Makefile):
acpi_install_exception_handler()
acpi_subsystem_status()
acpi_get_system_info()
acpi_get_statistics()
acpi_install_initialization_handler()
2. Since strip can automatically zap the no-user functions, functions that
are not marked with ACPI_EXPORT_SYMBOL() needn't get surrounded by
ACPI_FUTURE_USAGE.
So the following function which is not used by Linux kernel now won't
get surrounded by this macro:
acpi_ps_get_name()

ACPICA commit afb52611dbe7403551f93504d3798534f5c343f4
This patch cleans up the code of assigning the AML address to the
union acpi_operand_object.
The idea behind this cleanup is:
The AML address of the union acpi_operand_object should always be determined at
the point where the object is encountered. It should be started from the
first byte of the object. For example, the opcode of the object, the name
string of the user_term object, or the first byte of the packaged object
(where a pkg_length is prefixed). So it's not cleaner to have it assigned
here and there in the entire ACPICA source tree.
There are some special cases for the internal opcodes, before cleaning up
the internal opcodes, we should also determine the rules for the AML
addresses of the internal opcodes:
1. INT_NAMEPATH_OP: the address of the first byte for the name_string.
2. INT_METHODCALL_OP: the address of the first byte for the name_string.
3. INT_BYTELIST_OP: the address of the first byte for the byte_data list.
4. INT_EVAL_SUBTREE_OP: the address of the first byte for the
Region/Package/Buffer/bank_field/Field arguments.
5. INT_NAMEDFIELD_OP: the address to the name_seg.
6. INT_RESERVEDFIELD_OP: the address to the 0x00 prefix.
7. INT_ACCESSFIELD_OP: the address to the 0x01 prefix.
8. INT_CONNECTION_OP: the address to the 0x02 prefix.
9: INT_EXTACCESSFIELD_OP: the address to the 0x03 prefix.
10.INT_RETURN_VALUE_OP: the address of the replaced operand.
11.computational_data: the address to the
Byte/Word/Dword/Qword/string_prefix.
Before cleaning up the internal root scope of the aml_walk, turning it into
the term_list, we need to remember the aml_start address as the "Aml"
attribute for the union acpi_operand_object created by acpi_ps_create_scope_op().
Finally, we can delete some redundant AML address assignment in psloop.c.

Use push and pop to both guarantee that the correct alignment is used,
and to restore the alignment to whatever it was before the header
was included.
It is reported that the #pragma pack(push/pop) directives are not supported
by the specific GCCs, but this patch still doesn't affect kernel build
as there are already #pragma pack([1]) directives used in the old ACPICA
headers, which means there shouldn't be GCCs that are currently used to
compile the ACPI kernels do not support #pragma pack() directives.

This patch fixes such divergences caused by the "indent" program.
The version of the "indent" used for this patch is "GNU indent 2.2.11".
This patch will not affect the generated vmlinux binary.
