Implemented header file support for the following
additional ACPI tables: ASF!, BOOT, CPEP, DBGP, MCFG, SPCR,
SPMI, TCPA, and WDRT. With this support, all current and
known ACPI tables are now defined in the ACPICA headers and
are available for use by device drivers and other software.

Implemented support to allow tables that contain ACPI
names with invalid characters to be loaded. Previously,
this would cause the table load to fail, but since
there are several known cases of such tables on
existing machines, this change was made to enable
ACPI support for them. Also, this matches the
behavior of the Microsoft ACPI implementation.

Fixed a couple regressions introduced during the memory
optimization in the 20060317 release. The namespace
node definition required additional reorganization and
an internal datatype that had been changed to 8-bit was
restored to 32-bit. (Valery Podrezov)

Fixed a problem where a null pointer passed to
acpi_ut_delete_generic_state() could be passed through
to acpi_os_release_object which is unexpected. Such
null pointers are now trapped and ignored, matching
the behavior of the previous implementation before the
deployment of acpi_os_release_object().  (Valery Podrezov,
Fiodor Suietov)

Fixed a memory mapping leak during the deletion of
a SystemMemory operation region where a cached memory
mapping was not deleted. This became a noticeable problem
for operation regions that are defined within frequently
used control methods. (Dana Meyers)

Reorganized the ACPI table header files into two main
files: one for the ACPI tables consumed by the ACPICA core,
and another for the miscellaneous ACPI tables that are
consumed by the drivers and other software. The various
FADT definitions were merged into one common section and
three different tables (ACPI 1.0, 1.0+, and 2.0)

Implemented the use of a cache object for all internal
namespace nodes. Since there are about 1000 static nodes
in a typical system, this will decrease memory use for
cache implementations that minimize per-allocation overhead
(such as a slab allocator.)

Removed the reference count mechanism for internal
namespace nodes, since it was deemed unnecessary. This
reduces the size of each namespace node by about 5%-10%
on all platforms. Nodes are now 20 bytes for the 32-bit
case, and 32 bytes for the 64-bit case.

Optimized several internal data structures to reduce
object size on 64-bit platforms by packing data within
the 64-bit alignment. This includes the frequently used
ACPI_OPERAND_OBJECT, of which there can be ~1000 static
instances corresponding to the namespace objects.

Added two new strings for the predefined _OSI method:
"Windows 2001.1 SP1" and "Windows 2006".

Split the allocation tracking mechanism out to a separate
file, from utalloc.c to uttrack.c. This mechanism appears
to be only useful for application-level code. Kernels may
wish to not include uttrack.c in distributions.

Tagged all external interfaces to the subsystem with the
new ACPI_EXPORT_SYMBOL macro. This macro can be defined
as necessary to assist kernel integration. For Linux,
the macro resolves to the EXPORT_SYMBOL macro. The default
definition is NULL.

Added the ACPI_THREAD_ID type for the return value from
acpi_os_get_thread_id(). This allows the host to define this
as necessary to simplify kernel integration. The default
definition is ACPI_NATIVE_UINT.

Valery Podrezov fixed two interpreter problems related
to error processing, the deletion of objects, and placing
invalid pointers onto the internal operator result stack.

Increased the reference count threshold where a warning is
emitted for large reference counts in order to eliminate
unnecessary warnings on systems with large namespaces
(especially 64-bit.) Increased the value from 0x400
to 0x800.

Due to universal disagreement as to the meaning of the
'c' in the calloc() function, the ACPI_MEM_CALLOCATE
macro has been renamed to ACPI_ALLOCATE_ZEROED so that the
purpose of the interface is 'clear'. ACPI_MEM_ALLOCATE and
ACPI_MEM_FREE are renamed to ACPI_ALLOCATE and ACPI_FREE.

Implemented a change to the IndexField support to match
the behavior of the Microsoft AML interpreter. The value
written to the Index register is now a byte offset,
no longer an index based upon the width of the Data
register. This should fix IndexField problems seen on
some machines where the Data register is not exactly one
byte wide. The ACPI specification will be clarified on
this point.

Fixed a problem where several resource descriptor
types could overrun the internal descriptor buffer due
to size miscalculation: VendorShort, VendorLong, and
Interrupt. This was noticed on IA64 machines, but could

Implemented support in the Resource Manager to allow
unresolved namestring references within resource package

these unresolved references will be passed through
to the caller as a NULL package entry.

Implemented and deployed new macros and functions for
error and warning messages across the subsystem. These
macros are simpler and generate less code than their
predecessors. The new macros ACPI_ERROR, ACPI_EXCEPTION,
ACPI_WARNING, and ACPI_INFO replace the ACPI_REPORT_*

Fixed several problems with the implementation of the
ConcatenateResTemplate ASL operator. As per the ACPI

Replaced all instances of the ACPI_DEBUG_PRINT macro invoked at
the ACPI_DB_ERROR and ACPI_DB_WARN debug levels with
the ACPI_REPORT_ERROR and ACPI_REPORT_WARNING macros,
respectively. This preserves all error and warning messages
in the non-debug version of the ACPICA code (this has been
referred to as the "debug lite" option.) Over 200 cases
were converted to create a total of over 380 error/warning

Implemented optional support to allow unresolved names
within ASL Package objects. A null object is inserted in
the package when a named reference cannot be located in
the current namespace. Enabled via the interpreter slack
flag which Linux has enabled by default (acpi=strict
to disable slack).  This should eliminate AE_NOT_FOUND
exceptions seen on machines that contain such code.

Implemented an optimization to the initialization
sequence that can improve boot time. During ACPI device
initialization, the _STA method is now run if and only
if the _INI method exists. The _STA method is used to
determine if the device is present; An _INI can only be
run if _STA returns present, but it is a waste of time to
run the _STA method if the _INI does not exist. (Prototype
and assistance from Dong Wei)

Implemented use of the C99 uintptr_t for the pointer
casting macros if it is available in the current
compiler. Otherwise, the default (void *) cast is used
as before.

Fixed some possible memory leaks found within the

Modified the parsing of control methods to no longer
create namespace objects during the first pass of the
parse. Objects are now created only during the execute
phase, at the moment the namespace creation operator
is encountered in the AML (Name, OperationRegion,
CreateByteField, etc.) This should eliminate ALREADY_EXISTS
exceptions seen on some machines where reentrant control
methods are protected by an AML mutex. The mutex will now
correctly block multiple threads from attempting to create
the same object more than once.

Increased the number of available Owner Ids for namespace
object tracking from 32 to 255. This should eliminate the
OWNER_ID_LIMIT exceptions seen on some machines with a

Fixed a problem in the AML parser where the method thread
count could be decremented below zero if any errors

eliminate AE_AML_METHOD_LIMIT exceptions seen on some
machines. This also fixed a related regression with the
mechanism that detects and corrects methods that cannot
properly handle reentrancy (related to the deployment of
the new OwnerId mechanism.)

Eliminated the pre-parsing of control methods (to detect
errors) during table load. Related to the problem above,
this was causing unwind issues if any errors occurred
during the parse, and it seemed to be overkill. A table
load should not be aborted if there are problems with
any single control method, thus rendering this feature
rather pointless.

Fixed a problem with the new table-driven resource manager
where an internal buffer overflow could occur for small
resource templates.

Implemented a new external interface, acpi_get_vendor_resource()

Completed a major overhaul of the Resource Manager code -
specifically, optimizations in the area of the AML/internal
resource conversion code. The code has been optimized to
simplify and eliminate duplicated code, CPU stack use has
been decreased by optimizing function parameters and local
variables, and naming conventions across the manager have
been standardized for clarity and ease of maintenance (this
includes function, parameter, variable, and struct/typedef
names.)

All Resource Manager dispatch and information tables have
been moved to a single location for clarity and ease of
maintenance. One new file was created, named "rsinfo.c".

The ACPI return macros (return_ACPI_STATUS, etc.) have
been modified to guarantee that the argument is
not evaluated twice, making them less prone to macro
side-effects. However, since there exists the possibility
of additional stack use if a particular compiler cannot
optimize them (such as in the debug generation case),
the original macros are optionally available.  Note that
some invocations of the return_VALUE macro may now cause
size mismatch warnings; the return_UINT8 and return_UINT32
macros are provided to eliminate these. (From Randy Dunlap)

Implemented a new mechanism to enable debug tracing for

desired. See the file psxface.c for details.

The use of the CPU stack in the debug version of the
subsystem has been considerably reduced.  Previously, a
debug structure was declared in every function that used
the debug macros.  This structure has been removed in
favor of declaring the individual elements as parameters
to the debug functions.  This reduces the cumulative stack
use during nested execution of ACPI function calls at the
cost of a small increase in the code size of the debug
version of the subsystem.  With assistance from Alexey
Starikovskiy and Len Brown.

Added the ACPI_GET_FUNCTION_NAME macro to enable the
compiler-dependent headers to define a macro that will
return the current function name at runtime (such as
__FUNCTION__ or _func_, etc.) The function name is used
by the debug trace output.  If ACPI_GET_FUNCTION_NAME
is not defined in the compiler-dependent header, the
function name is saved on the CPU stack (one pointer per
function.) This mechanism is used because apparently there
exists no standard ANSI-C defined macro that that returns
the function name.

Alexey Starikovskiy redesigned and reimplemented the
"Owner ID" mechanism used to track namespace objects
created/deleted by ACPI tables and control method
execution.  A bitmap is now used to allocate and free the
IDs, thus solving the wraparound problem present in the
previous implementation.  The size of the namespace node
descriptor was reduced by 2 bytes as a result.

Removed the UINT32_BIT and UINT16_BIT types that were used
for the bitfield flag definitions within the headers for
the predefined ACPI tables.  These have been replaced by
UINT8_BIT in order to increase the code portability of
the subsystem.  If the use of UINT8 remains a problem,
we may be forced to eliminate bitfields entirely because
of a lack of portability.

Alexey Starikovksiy enhanced the performance of
acpi_ut_update_object_reference.  This is a frequently used

Moved the object cache operations into the OS interface
layer (OSL) to allow the host OS to handle these operations
if desired (for example, the Linux OSL will invoke the
slab allocator).  This support is optional; the compile
time define ACPI_USE_LOCAL_CACHE may be used to utilize
the original cache code in the ACPI CA core.  The new OSL
interfaces are shown below.  See utalloc.c for an example
implementation, and acpiosxf.h for the exact interface

	acpi_os_create_cache
	acpi_os_delete_cache
	acpi_os_purge_cache
	acpi_os_acquire_object
	acpi_os_release_object

Modified the interfaces to acpi_os_acquire_lock and
acpi_os_release_lock to return and restore a flags

Note: the current execution state (interrupt handler
or not) is no longer passed to these interfaces.  If
necessary, the OSL must determine this state by itself, a
simple and fast operation.  Thanks to Alexey Starikovskiy.

Fixed a problem in the ACPI table handling where a valid
XSDT was assumed present if the revision of the RSDP
was 2 or greater.  According to the ACPI specification,
the XSDT is optional in all cases, and the table manager
therefore now checks for both an RSDP >=2 and a valid
XSDT pointer.  Otherwise, the RSDT pointer is used.
Some ACPI 2.0 compliant BIOSs contain only the RSDT.

Fixed an interpreter problem with the Mid() operator in the
case of an input string where the resulting output string
is of zero length.  It now correctly returns a valid,
null terminated string object instead of a string object
with a null pointer.

Fixed a problem with the control method argument handling
to allow a store to an Arg object that already contains an
object of type Device.  The Device object is now correctly
overwritten.  Previously, an error was returned.

ACPICA 20050624:

Modified the new OSL cache interfaces to use ACPI_CACHE_T
as the type for the host-defined cache object.  This allows
the OSL implementation to define and type this object in
any manner desired, simplifying the OSL implementation.
For example, ACPI_CACHE_T is defined as kmem_cache_t for
Linux, and should be defined in the OS-specific header
file for other operating systems as required.

Changed the interface to AcpiOsAcquireObject to directly
return the requested object as the function return (instead
of ACPI_STATUS.) This change was made for performance
reasons, since this is the purpose of the interface in the
first place.  acpi_os_acquire_object is now similar to the
acpi_os_allocate interface.  Thanks to Alexey Starikovskiy.

Modified the initialization sequence in
acpi_initialize_subsystem to call the OSL interface
acpi_osl_initialize first, before any local initialization.
This change was required because the global initialization

Implemented support to execute Type 1 and Type 2 AML
opcodes appearing at the module level (not within a control
method.)  These opcodes are executed exactly once at the
time the table is loaded. This type of code was legal up
until the release of ACPI 2.0B (2002) and is now supported
within ACPI CA in order to provide backwards compatibility
with earlier BIOS implementations. This eliminates the
"Encountered executable code at module level" warning that
was previously generated upon detection of such code.

Fixed a problem in the interpreter where an AE_NOT_FOUND
exception could inadvertently be generated during the
lookup of namespace objects in the second pass parse of
ACPI tables and control methods. It appears that this

The "static" qualifier has been added to all local
functions across the core subsystem.

The number of "long" lines (> 80 chars) within the source
has been significantly reduced, by about 1/3.

Cleaned up all header files to ensure that all CA/iASL
functions are prototyped (even static functions) and the
formatting is consistent.

Two new header files have been added, acopcode.h and
acnames.h.

Removed several obsolete functions that were no longer
used.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.

Let it rip!
