.Sh DEBUGGING
Although the situation has become better over the years,
.Tn ACPI
is typically prone to various errors,
ranging from blatant flaws in the firmware to bugs in the implementation.
Before anything else, it is a good practice to upgrade the
.Tn BIOS
to the latest version available from the vendor.
.Pp
To ease the task of diagnosing and fixing different problems, the
.Tn ACPICA
reference implementation provides a rich
facility of different debugging methods.
In
.Nx
these are generally only available if the kernel has been compiled with the
.Tn ACPI_DEBUG
option.
.Ss Verbose messages
The
.Tn ACPIVERBOSE
compile time option enables some verbose
debug messages printed during the system startup.
In a
.Tn MODULAR
(see
.Xr options 4 )
system, the information can be printed also at runtime,
regardless of the presence of
.Tn ACPIVERBOSE .
To print the messages,
.Xr modload 8
the
.Ic acpiverbose
module using the option
.Ar -b dump=true .
.Ss Custom DSDT
.Tn ACPI
interprets bytecode known as
.Tn ACPI
Machine Language
.Pq Tn AML ,
provided by the
.Tn BIOS
as a memory image during the system bootstrap.
Most of the
.Tn AML
relevant to
.Nm
is implemented in the so-called
Differentiated System Descriptor Table
.Pq Tn DSDT .
.Nx
provides support for overriding the default
.Tn DSDT
supplied by the
.Tn BIOS .
.Pp
The following steps can be used to override the
.Tn DSDT :
.Bl -enum -offset indent
.It
Dump the raw
.Tn DSDT
with
.Xr acpidump 8 .
.It
Disassemble the table with
.Xr iasl 8 .
.It
Modify the disassembled table.
.It
Compile the table with
.Xr iasl 8
using the option
.Ar \-tc .
.It
Either copy the
.Pq Pa *.hex
file to
.Bd -literal -offset indent
src/sys/dev/acpi/acpica/Osd/custom_dsdt.hex
.Ed
.Pp
or use the option
.Bd -literal -offset indent
ACPI_DSDT_FILE="/some/directory/custom_dsdt.hex"
.Ed
.Pp
in the kernel configuration file.
.It
Define
.Tn ACPI_DSDT_OVERRIDE
in the kernel configuration file and rebuild.
.El
.Ss Debugger
The
.Tn ACPICA
interpreter provides its own debugger for low-level debugging.
It can be used to display internal data structures and namespace objects,
and to debug the execution of control methods.
Single step and breakpoint functionality are available.
In
.Nx
this is integrated to the in-kernel
.Xr ddb 4 .
In order to enter the
.Tn ACPICA
debugger from
.Xr ddb 4 ,
use the command
.Ic call
with the argument
.Ic acpi_osd_debugger .
.Ss Debug Output
.Nx
provides three
.Xr sysctl 8
variables that control the debug output at runtime.
The
.Ic hw.acpi.debug.layer
variable limits the output to a specific
.Tn ACPI
layer and the
.Ic hw.acpi.debug.level
variable controls the debug level.
Both
.Xr sysctl 8
variables are string literals.
The third variable is
.Ic hw.acpi.debug.object .
This is a boolean that controls whether debug messages internal to the
.Tn AML
are enabled.
.Pp
For the first two variables, the possible values are:
.Bl -column -offset indent \
"ACPI_RESOURCE_COMPONENT " "ACPI_RESOURCE_COMPONENT "
.It Sy LAYER Ta Sy LEVEL
.It Li ACPI_DEBUG_NONE Ta ACPI_DEBUG_NONE
.It Ta
.It Li ACPI_UTILITIES Ta ACPI_LV_INIT
.It Li ACPI_HARDWARE Ta ACPI_LV_DEBUG_OBJECT
.It Li ACPI_EVENTS Ta ACPI_LV_INFO
.It Li ACPI_TABLES Ta ACPI_LV_ALL_EXCEPTIONS *
.It Li ACPI_NAMESPACE Ta
.It Li ACPI_PARSER Ta ACPI_LV_INIT_NAMES
.It Li ACPI_DISPATCHER Ta ACPI_LV_PARSE
.It Li ACPI_EXECUTER Ta ACPI_LV_LOAD
.It Li ACPI_RESOURCES Ta ACPI_LV_DISPATCH
.It Li ACPI_CA_DEBUGGER Ta ACPI_LV_EXEC
.It Li ACPI_OS_SERVICES Ta ACPI_LV_NAMES
.It Li ACPI_CA_DISASSEMBLER Ta ACPI_LV_OPREGION
.It Li ACPI_COMPILER Ta ACPI_LV_BFIELD
.It Li ACPI_TOOLS Ta ACPI_LV_TABLES
.It Li ACPI_EXAMPLE Ta ACPI_LV_VALUES
.It Li ACPI_DRIVER Ta ACPI_LV_OBJECTS
.It Li ACPI_ALL_COMPONENTS * Ta ACPI_LV_RESOURCES
.It Ta ACPI_LV_USER_REQUESTS
.It Li ACPI_BUS_COMPONENT Ta ACPI_LV_PACKAGE
.It Li ACPI_ACAD_COMPONENT Ta ACPI_LV_VERBOSITY1 *
.It Li ACPI_BAT_COMPONENT Ta
.It Li ACPI_BUTTON_COMPONENT Ta ACPI_LV_ALLOCATIONS
.It Li APCI_EC_COMPONENT Ta ACPI_LV_FUNCTIONS
.It Li ACPI_LID_COMPONENT Ta ACPI_LV_OPTIMIZATIONS
.It Li ACPI_RESOURCE_COMPONENT Ta ACPI_LV_VERBOSITY2 *
.It Li ACPI_TZ_COMPONENT Ta
.It Li ACPI_DISPLAY_COMPONENT Ta
.It Li ACPI_ALL_DRIVERS * Ta ACPI_LV_MUTEX
.It Ta ACPI_LV_THREADS
.It Ta ACPI_LV_IO
.It Ta ACPI_LV_AML_INTERRUPTS
.It Li "* This is a compound" Ta ACPI_LV_VERBOSITY3 *
.It Li " constant, including" Ta
.It Li " all previous elements." Ta ACPI_LV_AML_DISASSEMBLE
.It Ta ACPI_LV_VERBOSE_INFO
.It Ta ACPI_LV_FULL_TABLES
.It Ta ACPI_LV_EVENTS
.It Ta ACPI_LV_VERBOSE *
.El
.Pp
In addition, there is
.Dv ACPI_DEBUG_DEFAULT
that is used by
.Tn ACPICA
as the default debug level.
It includes
.Dv ACPI_LV_INIT
and
.Dv ACPI_LV_DEBUG_OBJECT .
.Pp
The debug layer can be divided into two groups:
the first one is specific to the
.Tn ACPICA
interpreter and the second one contains the internal
.Tn ACPI
components of
.Nx .
The constant
.Dv ACPI_ALL_DRIVERS
includes all
.Nx
specific parts.
.Pp
The
.Tn ACPICA
interpreter uses several debug levels internally,
but the
.Nx
specific parts are typically limited to
.Dv ACPI_LV_DEBUG_OBJECT
and
.Dv ACPI_LV_INFO .
The debug output can be stopped by setting
.Ic hw.acpi.debug.level
to
.Dv ACPI_DEBUG_NONE .
.Ss Example
As an example, a driver may have defined the component it belongs to and
the name of the module:
.Bd -literal -offset indent
#define _COMPONENT ACPI_BUS_COMPONENT
ACPI_MODULE_NAME ("acpi_example")
.Ed
.Pp
The driver may also utilize the debug facility:
.Bd -literal -offset indent
ACPI_DEBUG_PRINT((ACPI_DB_INFO, "Failed to evaluate _STA\\n"));
.Ed
.Pp
With these options the debug message from the
.Dv ACPI_DEBUG_PRINT
macro is only visible when
.Ic hw.acpi.debug.layer
is either
.Dv ACPI_BUS_COMPONENT
or a compound constant including it, and
.Ic hw.acpi.debug.level
is
.Dv ACPI_LV_INFO
or some constant that includes it.
Finally, it can be noted that the
.Tn ACPI
implementation uses the prefix
.Dv ACPI_DB ,
whereas the debug level
.Xr sysctl 8
variable is always specified with the prefix
.Dv ACPI_LV .
.Pp
Another example can be mentioned for the use of
.Ic hw.acpi.debug.object .
The following could appear in an
.Tn ASL
code:
.Bd -literal -offset indent
Method(_Q19, 0, NotSerialized)
{
Store("_Q19 invoked", Debug)
Notify(ACAD, 0x80)
}
.Ed
.Pp
When
.Ic hw.acpi.debug.object
is set to 1, the message stored to the debug object
is printed every time the method is called by the interpreter.
