01 July 2008. Summary of changes for version 20080701:
This release is available at http://acpica.org/downloads
Direct git access via http://www.acpica.org/repos/acpica.git
0) Git source tree / acpica.org
Fixed a problem where a git-clone from http would not transfer the entire source
tree.
1) ACPI CA Core Subsystem:
Implemented a "careful" GPE disable in AcpiEvDisableGpe, only modify one enable
bit. Now performs a read-change-write of the enable register instead of simply
writing out the cached enable mask. This will prevent inadvertent enabling of
GPEs if a rogue GPE is received during initialization (before GPE handlers are
installed.)
Implemented a copy for dynamically loaded tables. Previously, dynamically loaded
tables were simply mapped - but on some machines this memory is corrupted after
suspend. Now copy the table to a local buffer. For the OpRegion case, added
checksum verify. Use the table length from the table header, not the region
length. For the Buffer case, use the table length also. Dennis Noordsij, Bob
Moore. BZ 10734
Fixed a problem where the same ACPI table could not be dynamically loaded and
unloaded more than once. Without this change, a table cannot be loaded again
once it has been loaded/unloaded one time. The current mechanism does not
unregister a table upon an unload. During a load, if the same table is found,
this no longer returns an exception. BZ 722
Fixed a problem where the wrong descriptor length was calculated for the EndTag
descriptor in 64-bit mode. The "minimal" descriptors such as EndTag are
calculated as 12 bytes long, but the actual length in the internal descriptor is
16 because of the round-up to 8 on the 64-bit build. Reported by Linn Crosetto.
BZ 728
Fixed a possible memory leak in the Unload operator. The DdbHandle returned by
Load() did not have its reference count decremented during unload, leading to a
memory leak. Lin Ming. BZ 727
Fixed a possible memory leak when deleting thermal/processor objects. Any
associated notify handlers (and objects) were not being deleted. Fiodor Suietov.
BZ 506
Fixed the ordering of the ASCII names in the global mutex table to match the
actual mutex IDs. Used by AcpiUtGetMutexName, a function used for debug only.
Vegard Nossum. BZ 726
Enhanced the AcpiGetObjectInfo interface to return the number of required
arguments if the object is a control method. Added this call to the debugger so
the proper number of default arguments are passed to a method. This prevents a
warning when executing methods from AcpiExec.
Added a check for an invalid handle in AcpiGetObjectInfo. Return
AE_BAD_PARAMETER if input handle is invalid. BZ 474
Fixed an extraneous warning from exconfig.c on the 64-bit build.
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: 79.3K Code, 16.2K Data, 95.5K Total
Debug Version: 153.0K Code, 48.2K Data, 201.2K Total
Current Release:
Non-Debug Version: 79.6K Code, 16.2K Data, 95.8K Total
Debug Version: 153.5K Code, 48.2K Data, 201.7K Total
2) iASL Compiler/Disassembler and Tools:
iASL: Added two missing ACPI reserved names. Added _MTP and _ASZ, both resource
descriptor names.
iASL: Detect invalid ASCII characters in input (windows version). Removed the "-
CF" flag from the flex compile, enables correct detection of non-ASCII
characters in the input. BZ 441
iASL: Eliminate warning when result of LoadTable is not used. Eliminate the
"result of operation not used" warning when the DDB handle returned from
LoadTable is not used. The warning is not needed. BZ 590
AcpiExec: Add support for dynamic table load/unload. Now calls _CFG method to
pass address of table to the AML. Added option to disable OpRegion simulation to
allow creation of an OpRegion with a real address that was passed to _CFG. All
of this allows testing of the Load and Unload operators from AcpiExec.
Debugger: update tables command for unloaded tables. Handle unloaded tables and
use the standard table header output routine.
