----------------------------------------
17 January 2013. Summary of changes for version 20130117:
1) ACPICA Kernel-resident Subsystem:
Updated the AcpiGetSleepTypeData interface: Allow the \_Sx methods to
return either 1 or 2 integers. Although the ACPI spec defines the \_Sx
objects to return a package containing one integer, most BIOS code returns
two integers and the previous code reflects that. However, we also need to
support BIOS code that actually implements to the ACPI spec, and this
change reflects this.
Fixed two issues with the ACPI_DEBUG_PRINT macros:
1) Added the ACPI_DO_WHILE macro to the main DEBUG_PRINT helper macro for
C compilers that require this support.
2) Renamed the internal ACPI_DEBUG macro to ACPI_DO_DEBUG_PRINT since
ACPI_DEBUG is already used by many of the various hosts.
Updated all ACPICA copyrights and signons to 2013. Added the 2013
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.
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.
Previous Release:
Non-Debug Version: 94.5K Code, 25.5K Data, 120.0K Total
Debug Version: 182.2K Code, 74.9K Data, 257.1K Total
Current Release:
Non-Debug Version: 94.5K Code, 25.4K Data, 119.9K Total
Debug Version: 182.3K Code, 75.0K Data, 257.3K Total
2) iASL Compiler/Disassembler and Tools:
Generic Unix OSL: Use a buffer to eliminate multiple vfprintf()s and
prevent a possible fault on some hosts. Some C libraries modify the arg
pointer parameter to vfprintf making it difficult to call it twice in the
AcpiOsVprintf function. Use a local buffer to workaround this issue. This
does not affect the Windows OSL since the Win C library does not modify
the arg pointer. Chao Guan, Bob Moore.
iASL: Fixed a possible infinite loop when the maximum error count is
reached. If an output file other than the .AML file is specified (such as
a listing file), and the maximum number of errors is reached, do not
attempt to flush data to the output file(s) as the compiler is aborting.
This can cause an infinite loop as the max error count code essentially
keeps calling itself.
iASL/Disassembler: Added an option (-in) to ignore NOOP opcodes/operators.
Implemented for both the compiler and the disassembler. Often, the NOOP
opcode is used as padding for packages that are changed dynamically by the
BIOS. When disassembled and recompiled, these NOOPs will cause syntax
errors. This option causes the disassembler to ignore all NOOP opcodes
(0xA3), and it also causes the compiler to ignore all ASL source code NOOP
statements as well.
Debugger: Enhanced the Sleep command to execute all sleep states. This
change allows Sleep to be invoked with no arguments and causes the
debugger to execute all of the sleep states, 0-5, automatically.
