22 September 2011. Summary of changes for version 20110922:
This release is available at www.acpica.org/downloads
0) ACPI 5.0 News:
Support for ACPI 5.0 in ACPICA has been underway for several months and will
be released at the same time that ACPI 5.0 is officially released.
The ACPI 5.0 specification is on track for release in the next few months.
1) ACPICA Core Subsystem:
Fixed a problem where the maximum sleep time for the Sleep() operator was
intended to be limited to two seconds, but was inadvertently limited to 20
seconds instead.
Linux and Unix makefiles: Added header file dependencies to ensure correct
generation of ACPICA core code and utilities. Also simplified the makefiles
considerably through the use of the vpath variable to specify search paths.
ACPICA BZ 924.
2) iASL Compiler/Disassembler and Tools:
iASL: Implemented support to check the access length for all fields created to
access named Resource Descriptor fields. For example, if a resource field is
defined to be two bits, a warning is issued if a CreateXxxxField() is used
with an incorrect bit length. This is implemented for all current resource
descriptor names. ACPICA BZ 930.
Disassembler: Fixed a byte ordering problem with the output of 24-bit and 56-
bit integers.
iASL: Fixed a couple of issues associated with variable-length package
objects. 1) properly handle constants like One, Ones, Zero -- do not make a
VAR_PACKAGE when these are used as a package length. 2) Allow the VAR_PACKAGE
opcode (in addition to PACKAGE) when validating object types for predefined
names.
iASL: Emit statistics for all output files (instead of just the ASL input and
AML output). Includes listings, hex files, etc.
iASL: Added -G option to the table compiler to allow the compilation of custom
ACPI tables. The only part of a table that is required is the standard 36-byte
ACPI header.
AcpiXtract: Ported to the standard ACPICA environment (with ACPICA headers),
which also adds correct 64-bit support. Also, now all output filenames are
completely lower case.
AcpiExec: Ignore any non-AML tables (tables other than DSDT or SSDT) when
loading table files. A warning is issued for any such tables. The only
exception is an FADT. This also fixes a possible fault when attempting to load
non-AML tables. ACPICA BZ 932.
AcpiHelp: Added the AccessAs and Offset operators. Fixed a problem where a
missing table terminator could cause a fault when using the -p option.
AcpiSrc: Fixed a possible divide-by-zero fault when generating file
statistics.
3) 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.
