14 February 2020. Summary of changes for version 20200214:
1) ACPICA kernel-resident subsystem:
Enable sleep button on ACPI legacy wake: Hibernation (S4) is triggered
in a guest when it receives a sleep trigger from the hypervisor. When the
guest resumes from this power state, it does not see the SleepEnabled
bit. In other words, the sleepHibernation (S4) is triggered in a guest
when it receives a sleep trigger from the hypervisor. When the guest
resumes from this power state, it does not see the SleepEnabled bit. In
other words, the sleep button is not enabled on waking from an S4 state.
This causes subsequent invocation of sleep state to fail since the
guest.button is not enabled on waking from an S4 state. This causes
subsequent invocation of sleep state to fail in the guest. Fix this
problem by enabling the sleep button in ACPI legacy wake. From Anchal
Agarwal <anchalag@amazon.com>.
Implemented a new external interface, AcpiAnyGpeStatusSet (). To be used
for checking the status bits of all enabled GPEs in one go. It is needed
to distinguish spurious SCIs from genuine ones when deciding whether or
not to wake up the system from suspend-to-idle.
Generic Makefiles: replace HOST name with ACPI_HOST: Some machines may be
using HOST in their environment to represent the host name for their
machines. Avoid this problem by renaming this variable from HOST to
ACPI_HOST.
MSVC 2017 project files: Enable multiprocessor generation to improve
build performance.
Added a macro to get the byte width of a Generic Address structure. New
ACPI_ACCESS_BYTE_WIDTH is in addition to the existing
ACPI_ACCESS_BIT_WIDTH. From Mika Westerberg.
2) iASL Compiler/Disassembler and ACPICA tools:
iASL: Implemented full support for the (optional, rarely used) ReturnType
and ParameterTypesList for the Method, Function, and External operators.
For Method declarations, the number of individual ParameterTypes must
match the declaration of the number of arguments (NumArgs). This also
Fixes a problem with the External operator where extra/extraneous bytes
were emitted in the AML code if the optional ReturnType/ParameterTypes
were specified for a MethodObj declaration.
New error message:
1) Method NumArgs count does not match length of ParameterTypes list
iASL: Implemented detection of type mismatches between External
declarations and named object declarations. Also, detect type mismatches
between multiple External declarations of the same Name.
New error messages:
1) Type mismatch between external declaration and actual object
declaration detected
2) Type mismatch between multiple external declarations detected
iASL: Implemented new error messages for External operators that specify
a ReturnType and/or ParameterTypesList for any object type other than
control methods (MethodObj).
New error messages:
1) Return type is only allowed for Externals declared as MethodObj
2) Parameter type is only allowed for Externals declared as MethodObj
iASL: Implemented two new remark/warning messages for ASL code that
creates named objects from within a control method. This is very
inefficient since the named object must be created and deleted each time
the method is executed.
New messages:
1) Creation of named objects within a method is highly inefficient, use
globals or method local variables instead (remark)
2) Static OperationRegion should be declared outside control method
(warning)
iASL: Improved illegal forward reference detection by adding support to
detect forward-reference method invocations.
iASL: Detect and issue an error message for NameStrings that contain too
many individual NameSegs (>255). This is an AML limitation that is
defined in the ACPI specification.
New message:
1) NameString contains too many NameSegs (>255)
acpidump: windows: use GetSystemFirmwareTable API for all tables except
SSDT. By using this API, acpidump is able to get all tables in the XSDT
iASL: Removed unused parser file and updated msvc2017 project files.
Removed the obsolete AslCompiler.y from the repository.
iASL: msvc2017: Fixed macros in the file dependency list to prevent
unnecessary rebuilds. Replace %(Directory) with %(RelativeDir).
Disassembler: Prevent spilling error messages to the output file. All
errors are directed to the console instead. These error messages
prevented re-compilation of the resulting disassembled ASL output file
(.DSL).
