| Name: acpica | Distribution: SUSE Linux Enterprise 15 |
| Version: 20220331 | Vendor: SUSE LLC <https://www.suse.com/> |
| Release: 150500.1.3 | Build date: Sun Nov 27 04:50:22 2022 |
| Group: Unspecified | Build host: s390zp35 |
| Size: 3634549 | Source RPM: acpica-20220331-150500.1.3.src.rpm |

| Summary: A set of tools to display and debug BIOS ACPI tables | |
The included tools share the same code as it is used in the ACPI implementation of the kernel. The code of the acpica project is exactly the same as the ACPI parser and interpreter code of the kernel and the code gets synced regularly from the acpica project into the kernel. E.g. if you identify bugs in the kernel's ACPI implementation it might be easier to debug them in userspace if possible. If the bug is part of the acpica code, it has to be submitted to the acpica project to get merged into the mainline kernel sources. iasl compiles ASL (ACPI Source Language) into AML (ACPI Machine Language). This AML is suitable for inclusion as a DSDT in system firmware. It also can disassemble AML, for debugging purposes.
GPL-2.0-only
* Fri Oct 14 2022 trenn@suse.de
- This version includes CEDT table support as requested in feature
(SLE 15 SP5):
jsc#PED-201
* Thu Apr 21 2022 rpm@fthiessen.de
- Update bundled wmidump to latest upstream 2021-10-11:
* Add support for '//' comments
* Print object_id or notify_id based on ACPI_WMI_EVENT flag
object_id and notify_id member are in one union. It depends on
ACPI_WMI_EVENT flag which member is stored in this union.
So print only one member based on ACPI_WMI_EVENT flag.
- Add comment about origin of the wmidump sources
* Wed Apr 20 2022 dmueller@suse.com
- update to 20220331:
For the ASL Sleep() operator, issue a warning if the sleep value is
greater than 10 Milliseconds. Quick boottime is important, so warn about
sleeps greater than 10 ms. Distribution Linux kernels reach initrd in 350
ms, so excessive delays should be called out. 10 ms is chosen randomly,
but three of such delays would already make up ten percent of the
boottime.
Namespace: Avoid attempting to walk the Namespace if the Namespace does
not exist.
AML interpreter/iASL compiler: Add new Acpi 6.4 semantics for the
LoadTable and Load operators. DDB_HANDLE is gone, now loadtable returns a
pass/fail integer. Now load returns a pass/fail integer, as well as
storing the return value in an optional 2nd argument.
Headers: Use uintptr_t and offsetof() in Linux kernel builds. To avoid
"performing pointer subtraction with a null pointer has undefined
behavior" compiler warnings, use uintptr_t and offsetof() that are always
available during Linux kernel builds to define ACPI_UINTPTR_T and the
ACPI_TO_INTEGER() and ACPI_OFFSET() macros when building the ACPICA code
in the Linux kernel.
Added support for the Windows 11 _OSI string ("Windows 2021"). Submitted
by superm1.
executer/exsystem: Inform users about ACPI spec violation for the Stall()
operator. Values greater than 100 microseconds violate the ACPI
specification, so warn users about it. From the ACPI Specification
version 6.2 Errata A, 19.6.128 *Stall (Stall for a Short Time)*:
The implementation of Stall is OS-specific, but must not relinquish
control of the processor. Because of this, delays longer than 100
microseconds must use Sleep instead of Stall.
Data Table Compiler/Disassembler: Add support for the APMT table - ARM
Performance Monitoring Unit table. Submitted by @bwicaksononv.
Data Table Compiler/Disassembler: For MADT, add support for the OEM-
defined subtables (Types 0x80-0x7F).
Data Table Compiler: Fixed a problem with support for the SDEV table,
where a subtable Length was not computed correctly.
Data Table Compiler/Disassembler: Add/fix the CFMWS subtable to the CEDT
Acpi table support.
Data Table Compiler/Disassembler: Fix a compile issue with the CEDT and
add template. Submitted by MasterDrogo.
Data Table Compiler/Disassembler: NHLT Changes provided by Piotr Maziarz:
iASL/NHLT: Rename linux specific structures to DeviceInfo to improve
readability of the code.
iASL/NHLT: Fix parsing undocumented bytes at the end of Endpoint.
Undocumented bytes at the end of Endpoint Descriptor can be present
independently of Linux-specific structures. Their size can also vary.
iASL/NHLT: Treat TableTerminator as SpecificConfig. SpecificConfig has 4
bytes of size and then an amount of bytes specified by size. All of the
terminators that I've seen had a size equal to 4, but theoretically it
can vary.
iASL/AcpiExec: Use _exit instead of exit in signal handers (ctrl-C).
iASL: Remove a remark due to excessive output. Removed a remark for
duplicate Offset() operators, due to a user complaint.

* iASL Table Compiler: Removed support for obsolete ACPI tables: VRTC,
MTMR. Al Stone.
* Fri Jul 24 2020 elimat@opensuse.org
- Update to version 20200717
ACPICA kernel-resident subsystem:
* Do not increment OperationRegion reference counts for field units. Recent
server firmware has revealed that this reference count can overflow on
large servers that declare many field units (thousands) under the same
OperationRegion. This occurs because each field unit declaration will add
a reference count to the source OperationRegion. This release solves the
reference count overflow for OperationRegion objects by preventing
fieldUnits from incrementing their parent OperationRegion's reference
count.
* Replaced one-element arrays with flexible-arrays, which were introduced
in C99.
* Restored the readme file containing the directions for generation of
ACPICA from source on MSVC 2017. Updated the file for MSVC 2017. File is
located at: generate/msvc2017/readme.txt
iASL Compiler/Disassembler and ACPICA tools:
* iASL: Fixed a regression found in version 20200214. Prevent iASL from
emitting an extra byte of garbage data when control methods declared a
single parameter type without using braces. This extra byte is known to
cause a blue screen on the Windows AML interpreter.
* iASL: Made a change to allow external declarations to specify the type of
a named object even when some name segments are not defined. This change
allows the following ASL code to compile
(When DEV0 is not defined or not defined yet):
External (\_SB.DEV0.OBJ1, IntObj)
External (\_SB.DEV0, DeviceObj)
* iASL: Fixed a problem where method names in "Alias ()" statement could be
misinterpreted. They are now interpreted correctly as method invocations.
* iASL: capture a method parameter count (Within the Method info segment,
as well as the argument node) when using parameter type lists.
* Thu Jul 02 2020 elimat@opensuse.org
- Update to version 20200528
ACPICA kernel-resident subsystem:
Removed old/obsolete Visual Studio files which were used to build the
Windows versions of the ACPICA tools. Since we have moved to Visual
Studio 2017, we are no longer supporting Visual Studio 2006 and 2009
project files. The new subdirectory and solution file are located at:
acpica/generate/msvc2017/AcpiComponents.sln
iASL Compiler/Disassembler and ACPICA tools:
* iASL: added support for a new OperationRegion Address Space (subtype):
PlatformRtMechanism. Support for this new keyword is being released for
early prototyping. It will appear in the next release of the ACPI
specification.
* iASL: do not optimize the NameString parameter of the CondRefOf operator.
In the previous iASL compiler release, the NameString parameter of the
CondRefOf was optimized. There is evidence that some implementations of
the AML interpreter do not perform the recursive search-to-parent search
during the execution of the CondRefOf operator. Therefore, the CondRefOf
operator behaves differently when the NameString parameter is a single
name segment (a NameSeg) as opposed to a full NamePath (starting at the
root scope) or a NameString containing parent prefixes.
* iASL: Prevent an inadvertent remark message. This change prevents a
remark if within a control method the following exist:
1) An Operation Region is defined, and
2) A Field operator is defined that refers to the region.
This happens because at the top level, the Field operator does not
actually create a new named object, it simply references the operation
region.
* Removed support for the acpinames utility. The acpinames was a simple
utility used to populate and display the ACPI namespace without executing
any AML code. However, ACPICA now supports executable opcodes outside of
control methods. This means that executable AML opcodes such as If and
Store opcodes need to be executed during table load. Therefore, acpinames
would need to be updated to match the same behavior as the acpiexec
utility and since acpiexec can already dump the entire namespace (via the
'namespace' command), we no longer have the need to maintain acpinames.
* In order to dump the contents of the ACPI namepsace using acpiexec,
execute the following command from the command line:
acpiexec -b "n" [aml files]
- Refresh parches
* Mon Apr 27 2020 mliska@suse.cz
- Enable -fcommon in CFLAGS and CXXFLAGS in order
to fix boo#1160383.
* Thu Feb 06 2020 trenn@suse.de
- Add -fcommon as there are a lot re-definitions which lead to errors
and compile failures with gcc10 which enables -fno-common by default
bsc#1160383 - acpica fails with -fno-common
* Mon Jan 20 2020 aloisio@gmx.com
- Update to version 20200110
* Tue May 28 2019 jengelh@inai.de
- Use noun phrase in summary
* Wed May 22 2019 trenn@suse.de
- Update to version 20190509
Includes a fix that breaks VirtualBox
https://github.com/acpica/acpica/issues/462
* Mon Apr 08 2019 trenn@suse.de
- Update to version 20190405
iASL: Implemented an enhanced multiple file compilation that combines
named objects from all input files to a single namespace. With this
feature, any unresolved external declarations as well as duplicate named
object declarations can be detected during compilation rather than
generating errors much later at runtime. The following commands are
examples that utilize this feature:
iasl dsdt.asl ssdt.asl
iasl dsdt.asl ssdt1.asl ssdt2.asl
iasl dsdt.asl ssdt*.asl
- Adjusted patch:
M acpica-no-compiletime.patch
* Wed Mar 13 2019 elimat@opensuse.org
- Update to version 20190215
Support for ACPI specification version 6.3:
* Add PCC operation region support for the AML interpreter. This adds PCC
operation region support in the AML interpreter and a default handler for
acpiexec. The change also renames the PCC region address space keyword to
PlatformCommChannel.
* Support for new predefined methods _NBS, _NCH, _NIC, _NIH, and _NIG.
These methods provide OSPM with health information and device boot
status.
* PDTT: Add TriggerOrder to the PCC Identifier structure. The field value
defines if the trigger needs to be invoked by OSPM before or at the end
of kernel crash dump processing/handling operation.
* SRAT: Add Generic Affinity Structure subtable. This subtable in the SRAT
is used for describing devices such as heterogeneous processors,
accelerators, GPUs, and IO devices with integrated compute or DMA
engines.
* MADT: Add support for statistical profiling in GICC. Statistical
profiling extension (SPE) is an architecture-specific feature for ARM.
* MADT: Add online capable flag. If this bit is set, system hardware
supports enabling this processor during OS runtime.
* New Error Disconnect Recover Notification value. There are a number of
scenarios where system Firmware in collaboration with hardware may
disconnect one or more devices from the rest of the system for purposes
of error containment. Firmware can use this new notification value to
alert OSPM of such a removal.
* PPTT: New additional fields in Processor Structure Flags. These flags
provide more information about processor topology.
* NFIT/Disassembler: Change a field name from "Address Range" to "Region
Type".
* HMAT updates: make several existing fields to be reserved as well as
rename subtable 0 to "memory proximity domain attributes".
* GTDT: Add support for new GTDT Revision 3. This revision adds information
for the EL2 timer.
* iASL: Update the HMAT example template for new fields.
* iASL: Add support for the new revision of the GTDT (Rev 3).
ACPICA kernel-resident subsystem:
* AML Parser: fix the main AML parse loop to correctly skip erroneous
extended opcodes. AML opcodes come in two lengths: 1-byte opcodes and 2-
byte extended opcodes. If an error occurs during an AML table load, the
AML parser will continue loading the table by skipping the offending
opcode. This implements a "load table at any cost" philosophy.
iASL Compiler/Disassembler and Tools:
* iASL: Add checks for illegal object references, such as a reference
outside of method to an object within a method. Such an object is only
temporary.
* iASL: Emit error for creation of a zero-length operation region. Such a
region is rather pointless. If encountered, a runtime error is also
implemented in the interpeter.
* Debugger: Fix a possible fault with the "test objects" command.
* iASL: Makefile: support parent directory filenames containing embedded
spaces.
* iASL: Update the TPM2 template to revision 4.
* iASL: Add the ability to report specific warnings or remarks as errors.
* Disassembler: Disassemble OEMx tables as actual AML byte code.
Previously, these tables were treated as "unknown table".
* iASL: Add definition and disassembly for TPM2 revision 3.
* iASL: Add support for TPM2 rev 3 compilation.
- Refresh patches
- Run spec-cleaner
* Mon Jul 02 2018 trenn@suse.de
- Update to 20180629
Added changelog from mainline, installed into documentation path
* Sat May 26 2018 aloisio@gmx.com
- Update to version 20180508
ACPICA kernel-resident subsystem:
* Completed the new (recently deployed) package resolution
mechanism for the Load and LoadTable ASL/AML operators. This
fixes a regression that was introduced in version 20180209
that could result in an AE_AML_INTERNAL exception during the
loading of a dynamic ACPI/AML table (SSDT) that contains
package objects.
iASL Compiler/Disassembler and Tools:
* AcpiDump and AcpiXtract: Implemented support for ACPI tables
larger than 1 MB. This change allows for table offsets within
the acpidump file to be up to 8 characters. These changes are
backwards compatible with existing acpidump files.
version 20180427
ACPICA kernel-resident subsystem:
* Debugger: Added support for Package objects in the "Test
Objects" command. This command walks the entire namespace and
evaluates all named data objects (Integers, Strings, Buffers,
and now Packages).
* Improved error messages for the namespace root node.
Originally, the root was referred to by the confusing string
"\___". This has been replaced by "Namespace Root" for
clarification.
* Fixed a potential infinite loop in the AcpiRsDumpByteList
function. Colin Ian King <colin.king@canonical.com>.
iASL Compiler/Disassembler and Tools:
* iASL: Implemented support to detect and flag illegal forward
references. For compatibility with other ACPI implementations,
these references are now illegal at the root level of the DSDT
or SSDTs. Forward references have always been illegal within
control methods. This change should not affect existing
ASL/AML code because of the fact that these references
have always been illegal in the other ACPI implementation.
* iASL: Added error messages for the case where a table OEM ID
and OEM TABLE ID strings are longer than the ACPI-defined length.
Previously, these strings were simply silently truncated.
* iASL: Enhanced the -tc option (which creates an AML hex file
in C, suitable for import into a firmware project):
1) Create a unique name for the table, to simplify use of
multiple SSDTs.
2) Add a protection #ifdef in the file, similar to a .h
header file. With assistance from Sami Mujawar,
sami.mujawar@arm.com and Evan Lloyd, evan.lloyd@arm.com
* AcpiExec: Added a new option, -df, to disable the local
fault handler. This is useful during debugging, where it may
be desired to drop into a debugger on a fault.

* Sun Dec 06 2015 p.drouand@gmail.com
- Update to version 20151124
* Fixed a possible regression for a previous update to FADT handling. The
FADT no longer has a fixed table ID, causing some issues with code that
was hardwired to a specific ID. Lv Zheng.
* Fixed a problem where the method auto-serialization could interfere with
the current SyncLevel. This change makes the auto-serialization support
transparent to the SyncLevel support and management.
* Removed support for the _SUB predefined name in AcpiGetObjectInfo. This
interface is intended for early access to the namespace during the
initial namespace device discovery walk. The _SUB method has been seen to
access operation regions in some cases, causing errors because the
operation regions are not fully initialized.
* AML Debugger: Fixed some issues with the terminate/quit/exit commands
that can cause faults.
* AML Debugger: Add thread ID support so that single-step mode only applies
* to the AML Debugger thread. This prevents runtime errors within some
kernels.
* Eliminated extraneous warnings from AcpiGetSleepTypeData. Since the _Sx
methods that are invoked by this interface are optional, removed warnings
emitted for the case where one or more of these methods do not exist.
ACPICA BZ 1208.
* Made a major pass through the entire ACPICA source code base to
standardize formatting that has diverged a bit over time. There are no
functional changes, but this will of course cause quite a few code
differences from the previous ACPICA release.
* 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.
* iASL/acpiexec/acpixtract/disassembler: Added support to allow multiple
definition blocks within a single ASL file and the resulting AML file.
Support for this type of file was also added to the various tools that
use binary AML files: acpiexec, acpixtract, and the AML disassembler. The
example code below shows two definition blocks within the same file:
DefinitionBlock ("dsdt.aml", "DSDT", 2, "Intel", "Template",
0x12345678)
{
}
DefinitionBlock ("", "SSDT", 2, "Intel", "Template", 0xABCDEF01)
{
}
* iASL: Enhanced typechecking for the Name() operator. All expressions for
the value of the named object must be reduced/folded to a single constant
at compile time, as per the ACPI specification (the AML definition of
Name()).
* iASL: Fixed some code indentation issues for the -ic and -ia options (C
and assembly headers). Now all emitted code correctly begins in column 1.
* iASL: Added an error message for an attempt to open a Scope() on an
object defined in an SSDT. The DSDT is always loaded into the namespace
first, so any attempt to open a Scope on an SSDT object will fail at
runtime.
