ACPI tables follow a tree structure in memory.
The root of the tree is the RSDP (Root System Description Pointer).
To find the RSDP, the OS searches for the signature "RSD PTR "
in well known physical memory locations. Then the OS computes
a table checksum to verify that the signature is really part
of a valid table header.
Some systems have a proper signature but an invalid checksum;
followed elsewhere by a proper signature with valid checksum.

The Linux RSDP scanning code bailed out on those systems
and as a result they booted with ACPI disabled.
Fix this by deleting the Linux RSDP scanning code and
plugging in the ACPICA RSDP scanning code.

Replaced the acpi_os_queue_for_execution() with a new
interface named acpi_os_execute(). The major difference is
that the new interface does not have a Priority parameter,
this appeared to be useless and has been replaced by
a Type parameter. The Type tells the OS what type of
execution is being requested, such as global lock handler,
notify handler, GPE handler, etc. This allows the host
to queue and execute the request as appropriate for the
request type, possibly using different work queues and
different priorities for the various request types. This
enables fixes for multithreading deadlock problems such as

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
byte offset in units of the access width of the parent
Index Field. (Fiodor Suietov)
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
allow the AML code to access. Operation Regions whose
addresses are disallowed will cause a runtime exception
when they are actually accessed (will not affect or abort
table loading.)
Defined and deployed a new OSL interface,
acpi_os_validate_interface(). This interface allows the host OS

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

Fixed a problem where a null pointer passed to
acpi_ut_delete_generic_state() could be passed through

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
individual control methods. A new external interface,
acpi_debug_trace(), is provided to enable this mechanism. The
intent is to allow the host OS to easily enable and disable
tracing for problematic control methods. This interface
can be easily exposed to a user or debugger interface if
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
function and this improvement increases the performance
of the entire subsystem.

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
definitions. Thanks to Alexey Starikovskiy.
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
parameter. This fits better with many OS lock models.
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
now calls OSL interfaces.
Restructured the code base to split some files because
of size and/or because the code logically belonged in a
separate file. New files are listed below.

Implemented support to execute Type 1 and Type 2 AML
opcodes appearing at the module level (not within a control

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

Enhanced package object output for the debug

The "static" qualifier has been added to all local
