If the dynamic region is created and added to resource list over and over again,
it has the potential to be a memory leak by growing the list every time.

This patch fixes the memory leak, as below

1) add a new field "count" to struct acpi_res_list.

   When inserting, if the region(addr, len) is already in the resource
   list, we just increase "count", otherwise, the region is inserted
   with count=1.

   When deleting, the "count" is decreased, if it's decreased to 0,
   the region is deleted from the resource list.

   With "count", the region with same address and length can only be
   inserted to the resource list once, so prevent potential memory leak.

2) add a new function acpi_os_invalidate_address, which is called when
   region is deleted.

ACPI AML supports "serialized" methods which are protected
by an implicit mutex.  The mutex is re-entrant for that AML thread
to allow recursion.

However, Linux implements notify() by creating a new AML thread.
So for systems where notify() re-enters a serialized method,
deadlock results.

The fix is to use the Linux thread_id as the key to allowing
re-entrancy, not the AML thread pointer.

Added the ACPI_PACKED_POINTERS_NOT_SUPPORTED macro to
support C compilers that do not allow the initialization
of address pointers within packed structures - even though
the hardware itself may support misaligned transfers. Some
of the debug data structures are packed by default to
minimize size.

Added an error message for the case where
acpi_os_get_thread_id() returns zero. A non-zero value is
required by the core ACPICA code to ensure the proper
operation of AML mutexes and recursive control methods.

The DSDT is now the only ACPI table that determines whether
the AML interpreter is in 32-bit or 64-bit mode. Not really
a functional change, but the hooks for per-table 32/64
switching have been removed from the code. A clarification
to the ACPI specification is forthcoming in ACPI 3.0B.

interfaces.  This allows the type to be customized to

usually a very small object.)

Implemented support for "ignored" bits in the ACPI
registers.  According to the ACPI specification, these
bits should be preserved when writing the registers via
a read/modify/write cycle. There are 3 bits preserved
in this manner: PM1_CONTROL[0] (SCI_EN), PM1_CONTROL[9],
and PM1_STATUS[11].
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3691

Implemented the initial deployment of new OSL mutex
interfaces.  Since some host operating systems have
separate mutex and semaphore objects, this feature was
requested. The base code now uses mutexes (and the new
mutex interfaces) wherever a binary semaphore was used
previously. However, for the current release, the mutex
interfaces are defined as macros to map them to the
existing semaphore interfaces.

Fixed several problems with the support for the control
method SyncLevel parameter. The SyncLevel now works
according to the ACPI specification and in concert with the
Mutex SyncLevel parameter, since the current SyncLevel is
a property of the executing thread. Mutual exclusion for
control methods is now implemented with a mutex instead
of a semaphore.

Fixed three instances of the use of the C shift operator
in the bitfield support code (exfldio.c) to avoid the use
of a shift value larger than the target data width. The
behavior of C compilers is undefined in this case and can

be detected and avoided.  (Fiodor Suietov)

Removed a device initialization optimization introduced in
20051216 where the _STA method was not run unless an _INI
was also present for the same device. This optimization
could cause problems because it could allow _INI methods
to be run within a not-present device subtree (If a
not-present device had no _INI, _STA would not be run,
the not-present status would not be discovered, and the
children of the device would be incorrectly traversed.)

Implemented a new _STA optimization where namespace
subtrees that do not contain _INI are identified and
ignored during device initialization. Selectively running
_STA can significantly improve boot time on large machines
(with assistance from Len Brown.)

Implemented support for the device initialization case
where the returned _STA flags indicate a device not-present
but functioning. In this case, _INI is not run, but the
device children are examined for presence, as per the
ACPI specification.

Implemented an additional change to the IndexField support
in order to conform to MS behavior. The value written to
the Index Register is not simply a byte offset, it is a

Defined and deployed a new OSL interface,
acpi_os_validate_address().  This interface is called during
the creation of all AML operation regions, and allows
the host OS to exert control over what addresses it will

addresses are disallowed will cause a runtime exception
when they are actually accessed (will not affect or abort
table loading.)

namespace nodes, since it was deemed unnecessary. This
reduces the size of each namespace node by about 5%-10%

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

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
function and this improvement increases the performance
of the entire subsystem.

Alexey Starikovskiy fixed several possible memory leaks

(acpi_ut_strupr), since this is not a POSIX-defined
function and not present in most kernel-level C
libraries. References to the C library strupr function
have been removed from the headers.

Completed the deployment of static
functions/prototypes. All prototypes with the static
attribute have been moved from the headers to the owning
C file.

ACPICA 20050329 from Bob Moore

An error is now generated if an attempt is made to create
a Buffer Field of length zero (A CreateField with a length
operand of zero.)

The interpreter now issues a warning whenever executable
code at the module level is detected during ACPI table
load. This will give some idea of the prevalence of this
type of code.

Implemented support for references to named objects (other
than control methods) within package objects.

Enhanced package object output for the debug
object. Package objects are now completely dumped, showing
all elements.

Enhanced miscellaneous object output for the debug
object. Any object can now be written to the debug object
(for example, a device object can be written, and the type
of the object will be displayed.)

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!
