Bob Moore 90da690bc4 ACPICA: Disassembler: Add support for the ToUUID opererator (macro).
This change adds support to disassemble a UUID back to the original
ToUUID operator. It will detect a UUID within a standard AML Buffer.
Also, a description of the UUID is emitted for "known" UUIDs, defined
as UUIDs that are defined in the ACPI specification.

Since this is a change for disassembler which is not shipped in the
Linux kernel, the Linux kernel is not affected.

Bob Moore 4ac4c5fad8 ACPICA: Headers: Deploy #pragma pack (push) and (pop).
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.

Lv Zheng 739dcbb90a ACPICA: Cleanup source to reduce differences between Linux and ACPICA.
This is a cosmetic patch only. Comparison of the resulting binary showed
only line number differences.

This patch does not affect the generation of the Linux binary.
This patch decreases 389 lines of 20121018 divergence.diff.

This patch reduces source code diff caused by the simple code maintenance
work:
1. Deletion of the unused include files.
2. Deletion of the deprecated codes blocks.
3. Repositioning of the code blocks.
4. Replacing the values with the well defined macros.

This is a cosmetic patch only. Comparison of the resulting binary showed
only line number differences.

This patch does not affect the generation of the Linux binary.
This patch decreases 558 lines of 20121018 divergence.diff.

This patch reduces the source code diff between Linux and ACPICA by
cleaning the comments that already have been updated in ACPICA.

There is no extra indentation done in this patch. Even the empty line
deletions and insertions are also splitted into another cleanup patch so
that this patch can be easily reviewed, and the binary differences can be
held to a lowest level.

The Table Manager component has been completely
redesigned and reimplemented. The new design is much
simpler, and reduces the overall code and data size of
the kernel-resident ACPICA by approximately 5%. Also,
it is now possible to obtain the ACPI tables very early
during kernel initialization, even before dynamic memory
management is initialized.

Bob Moore f6dd9221dd ACPI: ACPICA 20060707
Added the ACPI_PACKED_POINTERS_NOT_SUPPORTED macro to
support C compilers that do not allow the initialization
of address pointers within packed structures - even though
the hardware itself may support misaligned transfers. Some
of the debug data structures are packed by default to
minimize size.

Added an error message for the case where
acpi_os_get_thread_id() returns zero. A non-zero value is
required by the core ACPICA code to ensure the proper
operation of AML mutexes and recursive control methods.

The DSDT is now the only ACPI table that determines whether
the AML interpreter is in 32-bit or 64-bit mode. Not really
a functional change, but the hooks for per-table 32/64
switching have been removed from the code. A clarification
to the ACPI specification is forthcoming in ACPI 3.0B.

Fixed a possible leak of an Owner ID in the error
path of tbinstal.c acpi_tb_init_table_descriptor() and
migrated all table OwnerID deletion to a single place in
acpi_tb_uninstall_table() to correct possible leaks when using
the acpi_tb_delete_tables_by_type() interface (with assistance
from Lance Ortiz.)

Fixed a problem with Serialized control methods where the
semaphore associated with the method could be over-signaled
after multiple method invocations.

Fixed two issues with the locking of the internal
namespace data structure. Both the Unload() operator and
acpi_unload_table() interface now lock the namespace during
the namespace deletion associated with the table unload
(with assistance from Linn Crosetto.)

Fixed problem reports (Valery Podrezov) integrated: -
Eliminate unnecessary memory allocation for CreateXxxxField
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5426

Fixed problem reports (Fiodor Suietov) integrated: -
Incomplete cleanup branches in AcpiTbGetTableRsdt (BZ 369)
- On Address Space handler deletion, needless deactivation
call (BZ 374) - AcpiRemoveAddressSpaceHandler: validate
Device handle parameter (BZ 375) - Possible memory leak,
Notify sub-objects of Processor, Power, ThermalZone (BZ
376) - AcpiRemoveAddressSpaceHandler: validate Handler
parameter (BZ 378) - Minimum Length of RSDT should be
validated (BZ 379) - AcpiRemoveNotifyHandler: return
AE_NOT_EXIST if Processor Obj has no Handler (BZ (380)
- AcpiUnloadTable: return AE_NOT_EXIST if no table of
specified type loaded (BZ 381)

Implemented a new acpi_spinlock type for the OSL lock
interfaces.  This allows the type to be customized to
the host OS for improved efficiency (since a spinlock is
usually a very small object.)

Implemented support for "ignored" bits in the ACPI
registers.  According to the ACPI specification, these
bits should be preserved when writing the registers via
a read/modify/write cycle. There are 3 bits preserved
in this manner: PM1_CONTROL[0] (SCI_EN), PM1_CONTROL[9],
and PM1_STATUS[11].

Implemented the initial deployment of new OSL mutex
interfaces.  Since some host operating systems have
separate mutex and semaphore objects, this feature was
requested. The base code now uses mutexes (and the new
mutex interfaces) wherever a binary semaphore was used
previously. However, for the current release, the mutex
interfaces are defined as macros to map them to the
existing semaphore interfaces.

Fixed several problems with the support for the control
method SyncLevel parameter. The SyncLevel now works
according to the ACPI specification and in concert with the
Mutex SyncLevel parameter, since the current SyncLevel is
a property of the executing thread. Mutual exclusion for
control methods is now implemented with a mutex instead
of a semaphore.

Fixed three instances of the use of the C shift operator
in the bitfield support code (exfldio.c) to avoid the use
of a shift value larger than the target data width. The
behavior of C compilers is undefined in this case and can
cause unpredictable results, and therefore the case must
be detected and avoided.  (Fiodor Suietov)

Added an info message whenever an SSDT or OEM table
is loaded dynamically via the Load() or LoadTable()
ASL operators. This should improve debugging capability
since it will show exactly what tables have been loaded
(beyond the tables present in the RSDT/XSDT.)
