12 September 2006. Summary of changes for version 20060912:
1) ACPI CA Core Subsystem:
Enhanced the implementation of the "serialized mode" of the interpreter (enabled via the AcpiGbl_AllMethodsSerialized flag.) When this mode is specified, instead of creating a serialization semaphore per control method, the interpreter lock is simply no longer released before a blocking operation during control method execution. This effectively makes the AML Interpreter single-threaded. The overhead of a semaphore per-method is eliminated.
Fixed a regression where an error was no longer emitted if a control method attempts to create 2 objects of the same name. This once again returns AE_ALREADY_EXISTS. When this exception occurs, it invokes the mechanism that will dynamically serialize the control method to possible prevent future errors. (BZ 440)
Integrated a fix for a problem with PCI Express HID detection in the PCI Config Space setup procedure. (BZ 7145)
Moved all FADT-related functions to a new file, tbfadt.c. Eliminated the AcpiHwInitialize function - the FADT registers are now validated when the table is loaded.
Added two new warnings during FADT verification - 1) if the FADT is larger than the largest known FADT version, and 2) if there is a mismatch between a 32-bit block address and the 64-bit X counterpart (when both are non-zero.)
Example Code and Data Size: These are the sizes for the OS-independent acpica.lib produced by the Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0 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: 77.9K Code, 16.7K Data, 94.6K Total
Debug Version: 154.9K Code, 62.6K Data, 217.5K Total
Current Release:
Non-Debug Version: 77.9K Code, 17.1K Data, 95.0K Total
Debug Version: 154.7K Code, 63.0K Data, 217.7K Total
2) iASL Compiler/Disassembler and Tools:
Fixed a problem with the implementation of the Switch() operator where the temporary variable was declared too close to the actual Switch, instead of at method level. This could cause a problem if the Switch() operator is within a while loop, causing an error on the second iteration. (BZ 460)
Disassembler - fix for error emitted for unknown type for target of scope operator. Now, ignore it and continue.
Disassembly of an FADT now verifies the input FADT and reports any errors found. Fix for proper disassembly of full-sized (ACPI 2.0) FADTs.
Disassembly of raw data buffers with byte initialization data now prefixes each output line with the current buffer offset.
Disassembly of ASF! table now includes all variable-length data fields at the end of some of the subtables.
The disassembler now emits a comment if a buffer appears to be a ResourceTemplate, but cannot be disassembled as such because the EndTag does not appear at the very end of the buffer.
AcpiExec - Added the "-t" command line option to enable the serialized mode of the AML interpreter.
