Add 2009 copyright to all module headers and signons, including the Linux
header. This affects virtually every file in the ACPICA core subsystem,
iASL compiler, and all utilities.
1) Decode all Boot Architecture flags.
2) Decode all flags, regardless of the FADT version. Previously,
only those flags that were actually valid for the FADT version
were displayed. This seemed to omit some information.
1) Clear external list generated by Scope in external tables
2) Set node owner id only if it satisfies all the following conditions
a. Not a predefined node, _SB_ etc.
b. Not the root node
c. Not a node created by Scope
3) Precise object types for External statements, for example
- External (\_PR_.CPU0, DeviceObj)
+ External (\_PR_.CPU0, ProcessorObj)
Added the -e option to allow the inclusion of additional ACPI tables
to help with the disassembly of method invocations and the generation
of external declarations during the disassembly. Certain external
method invocations cannot be disassembled properly without the actual
declaration of the method. Use the -e option to include the table
where the external method(s) are actually declared. Most useful for
disassembling SSDTs that make method calls back to the master DSDT.
Lin Ming.
Example: To disassemble an SSDT with calls to DSDT:
iasl -d -e dsdt.aml ssdt1.aml
acpi.h now includes only the "public" acpica headers. All other
acpica headers are "private" and should not be included by acpica
users. One new file, accommon.h is used to include the commonly
used private headers for acpica code generation. Future plans are
to move all private headers to a new subdirectory.
Removed the "$Revision" number that appeared in each module header.
This version number was useful under SourceSafe and CVS, but has no
meaning under git. It is not only incorrect, it could also be
misleading.
Check for zero-length subtables when disassembling ACPI tables.
Also fixes a couple of errors where a full 16-bit table type
was not extracted from the input properly.
Add error check after all calls to AcpiNsGetPathnameLength.
Add status return from AcpiNsBuildExternalPath and check after all calls.
Add parameter validation to AcpiUtInitializeBuffer.
Reported by and initial patch by Ingo Molnar.
Support for the x2APIC. There are 2 new subtables for the MADT and one new
subtable for the SRAT. Includes disassembler and AcpiSrc support. Data from
the Intel 64 Architecture x2APIC Specification, June 2008.
Return status from AcpiUtGlobalInitialize. This is used by both
the kernel subsystem and the utilities such as iASL compiler.
The function could possibly fail when the caches are initialized.
Yang Yi.
Implemented full disassembler support for the following new ACPI tables: BERT, EINJ, and ERST. Partial disassembler support for the complicated HEST table. These tables support the Windows Hardware Error Architecture (WHEA).
Implemented support in the disassembler for checksum validation on incoming binary DSDTs and SSDTs. If incorrect, a message is displayed within the table header dump at the start of the disassembly.
Added 2008 copyright to all module headers and signons. This affects virtually every file in the ACPICA core subsystem, iASL compiler, and the utilities.
Fixed a problem with the Load and LoadTable operators where the table location within the namespace was ignored. Instead, the table was always loaded into the root or current scope.
Implemented support to allow multiple files to be compiled/disassembled in a single invocation. This includes command line wildcard support for both the Windows and Unix versions of the compiler. This feature simplifies the disassembly and compilation of multiple ACPI tables in a single directory.
Added 2007 copyright to all module headers and signons. This affects virtually every file in the ACPICA core subsystem, iASL compiler, and the utilities.
