OSPMs like Linux trend to include all header files but leave empty stub macros for a feature that is not configured during build. For macros defined without other symbols referencesd it is safe to leave them without protections. By investigation, there are only the following internal/external symbols referenced by the ACPICA macros: 1. C library symbols, including string, ctype, stdarg APIs. Since such symbols are always accessbile in the kernel source tree, it is safe to leave macros referencing them without protected for Linux. 2. ACPICA OSL symbols, such symbols are designed to be used only by ACPICA internal APIs. And there are macros directly referencing mutex and memory allocation OSL symbols. We need to examine the external usages of such macros. For macros referencing the mutex OSL symbols, fortunately, there is no external user directly invoking such macros. ======================================================================== !! IMPORTANT !! ======================================================================== For macros referencing memory allocation OSL symbols - 1. 'free' - ACPI_FREE 2. 'alloc' - ACPI_ALLOCATE, ACPI_ALLOCATE_ZEROED, ACPI_ALLOCATE_BUFFER, ACPI_ALLOCATE_LOCAL_BUFFER there are external users directly invoking 'alloc' macros. And the more complicated situation is the reversals of such macros are not ACPI_FREE but acpi_os_free (or kfree) in Linux. Though we can define such macros into no-op, we in fact cannot define their reversals into no-op. This patch adds mechanism to protect ACPICA memory allocation APIs for Linux so that acpi_os_free (or kfree) invoked in Linux can have a zero address returned by 'alloc' macros to free. In this way, acpi_os_free (or kfree) can be converted into no-op. ======================================================================== 3. ACPI_OFFSET and other macros that would access structure members, we need to check if such structure members are not accessible under a specific configuration. Fortunately, currently Linux doesn't use such structure members when CONFIG_ACPI is disabled. This patch thus only adds mechanism useful for implementing stubs for ACPICA provided macros - the configurability of memory allocation APIs. This patch doesn't include code for Linux to use this new mechanism, thus no functional changes. Lv Zheng.
