Reserved method has too many arguments (_OSC requires 4)
by Thomas Renninger
Hi,
I have a laptop freezing early, acpi=off and noapic helps.
I wonder whether this could have to do with the broken _OSC method.
I cannot access the machine myself, eventually I can get more info
if needed, but the machine is freezing really early (after ACPI
initialization, somewhere around bringing up CPUs (possibly when
starting PCI init already?).
This is not the first time I see this message.
It would be great to get (from include/linux/kernel.h):
#define FW_BUG "[Firmware Bug]: "
#define FW_WARN "[Firmware Warn]: "
#define FW_INFO "[Firmware Info]: "
marked messages into ACPICA and blame the guys who are responsible
for that.
My other concern/question is: what exactly happens in such a case?
Will _OSC get invoked at all?
If yes, what will be the last argument, zero, -1?
Hmm, I doubt it has to do with the freeze, but it would still be
great if someone knowing these parts could comment what people
with such a BIOS could expect to happen.
Thanks,
Thomas

Error in documentation of AcpiOsDerivePciId?
by Grégoire Sutre
Hi list,
According to the ACPICA Programmer Reference, the function
AcpiOsDerivePciId takes as arguments:
AcpiOsDerivePciId(
ACPI_HANDLE DeviceHandle
ACPI_HANDLE PciRegionHandle
ACPI_PCI_ID **PciId)
with:
- DeviceHandle: a handle to the PCI device.
- PciRegionHandle: a handle the PCI configuration space operation
region.
However, the only call to AcpiOsDerivePciId in the ACPICA code, in
events/evrgnini.c, is:
AcpiOsDerivePciId (PciRootNode, RegionObj->Region.Node, &PciId);
Moreover, the file include/acpiosxf.h contains:
/*
* Interim function needed for PCI IRQ routing
*/
void
AcpiOsDerivePciId(
ACPI_HANDLE Rhandle,
ACPI_HANDLE Chandle,
ACPI_PCI_ID **PciId);
So it seems to me that the correct arguments for AcpiOsDerivePciId are:
AcpiOsDerivePciId(
ACPI_HANDLE PciRootHandle
ACPI_HANDLE DeviceHandle
ACPI_PCI_ID **PciId)
with:
- PciRootHandle: a handle the PCI root bridge upstream of the PCI
device (or to the name space root node if no
PCI root bridge was found in the ancestors).
- DeviceHandle: a handle to the PCI device.
Is that correct?
Thanks for your help,
Grégoire

ACPICA version 20100528 released
by Moore, Robert
28 May 2010. Summary of changes for version 20100528:
This release is available at www.acpica.org/downloads
Note: The ACPI 4.0a specification was released on April 5, 2010 and is available at www.acpi.info. This is primarily an errata release.
1) ACPI CA Core Subsystem:
Undefined ACPI tables: We are looking for the definitions for the following ACPI tables that have been seen in the field: ATKG, IEIT, GSCI.
Implemented support to enable multi-byte transfers for Embedded Controller (EC) operation regions. Previously, the maximum data size passed to the EC operation region handler was a single byte. There are often EC Fields larger than one byte that need to be transferred, and it is useful for the EC driver to lock these as a single transaction. This change enables single transfers larger than 8 bits. This effectively changes the access to the EC space from ByteAcc to AnyAcc, and will probably require changes to the host OS Embedded Controller driver to enable 16/32/64/256-bit transfers in addition to 8-bit transfers. Alexey Starikovskiy, Lin Ming
Implemented a performance enhancement for namespace search and access. This change enhances the performance of namespace searches and walks by adding a backpointer to the parent in each namespace node. On large namespaces, this change can improve overall ACPI performance by up to 9X. Adding a pointer to each namespace node increases the overall size of the internal namespace by about 5%, since each namespace entry usually consists of both a namespace node and an ACPI operand object. However, this is the first growth of the namespace in ten years. ACPICA bugzilla 817. Alexey Starikovskiy.
Implemented a performance optimization that reduces the number of namespace walks. On control method exit, only walk the namespace if the method is known to have created namespace objects outside of its local scope. Previously, the entire namespace was traversed on each control method exit. This change can improve overall ACPI performance by up to 3X. Alexey Starikovskiy, Bob Moore.
Added support to truncate I/O addresses to 16 bits for Windows compatibility. Some ASL code has been seen in the field that inadvertently has bits set above bit 15. This feature is optional and is enabled if the BIOS requests any Windows OSI strings. It can also be enabled by the host OS. Matthew Garrett, Bob Moore.
Added support to limit the maximum time for the ASL Sleep() operator. To prevent accidental deep sleeps, limit the maximum time that Sleep() will actually sleep. Configurable, the default maximum is two seconds. ACPICA bugzilla 854.
Added run-time validation support for the _WDG and_WED Microsoft predefined methods. These objects are defined by "Windows Instrumentation", and are not part of the ACPI spec. ACPICA BZ 860.
Expanded all statistic counters used during namespace and device initialization from 16 to 32 bits in order to support very large namespaces.
Replaced all instances of %d in printf format specifiers with %u since nearly all integers in ACPICA are unsigned.
Fixed the exception namestring for AE_WAKE_ONLY_GPE. Was incorrectly returned as AE_NO_HANDLER.
Example Code and Data Size: These are the sizes for the OS-independent acpica.lib produced by the Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0 32-bit compiler. The debug version of the code includes the debug output trace mechanism and has a much larger code and data size.
Previous Release:
Non-Debug Version: 88.4K Code, 18.8K Data, 107.2K Total
Debug Version: 164.2K Code, 51.5K Data, 215.7K Total
Current Release:
Non-Debug Version: 88.3K Code, 18.8K Data, 107.1K Total
Debug Version: 164.1K Code, 51.5K Data, 215.6K Total
2) iASL Compiler/Disassembler and Tools:
iASL: Added compiler support for the _WDG and_WED Microsoft predefined methods. These objects are defined by "Windows Instrumentation", and are not part of the ACPI spec. ACPICA BZ 860.
AcpiExec: added option to disable the memory tracking mechanism. The -dt option will disable the tracking mechanism, which improves performance considerably.
AcpiExec: Restructured the command line options into -d (disable) and -e (enable) options.

Hi,
I got below error, need to add "#include <fcntl.h>" to fix it.
cc -Wall -O2 -Wstrict-prototypes -D_LINUX -DACPI_ASL_COMPILER -I../include -I../compiler -c -o ../osunixxf.o ../osunixxf.c
../osunixxf.c: In function ‘AcpiOsCreateSemaphore’:

../osunixxf.c:543: error: ‘O_CREAT’ undeclared (first use in this function)

And another warning is,
../osunixxf.o: In function `AcpiOsCreateSemaphore':
osunixxf.c:(.text+0x518): warning: the use of `tmpnam' is dangerous, better use `mkstemp'
As gcc suggests, better to use "mkstemp".

[git pull request] ACPICA patches for Linux-2.6.35
by Len Brown
Hi Linus,
please pull from:
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/lenb/linux-acpi-2.6.git acpica
This will update the files shown below.
Nothing Earth-shaking in this ACPICA update.
The most "interesting", perhaps, is a workaround we had to put in place
for some Toshiba machines which corrupt their DSDT at run-time.
thanks,
Len Brown

This is caused by commit aa2110c
(ACPI: add boot option acpi=copy_dsdt to fix corrupt DSDT).
DMI is not initialized yet in acpi_early_init on ia64.
The DSDT DMI check table is x86 specific, so make it empty on other archs.

ACPICA: Minimize the differences between linux GPE code and ACPICA code base
We have ported Rafael's major GPE changes
(ACPI: Use GPE reference counting to support shared GPEs) into ACPICA code base.
But the port and Rafael's original patch have some differences, so we made
below patch to make linux GPE code consistent with ACPICA code base.
Most changes are about comments and coding styles.
Other noticeable changes are based on:
Rafael: Reduce code duplication related to GPE lookup
https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/86237/
Rafael: Always use the same lock for GPE locking
https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/90471/
A new field gpe_count in struct acpi_gpe_block_info to record the number
of individual GPEs in block.
Rename acpi_ev_save_method_info to acpi_ev_match_gpe_method.

FALSE, do not copy the DSDT.

ACPICA: Add detection of corrupted/replaced DSDT
This change adds support to detect a DSDT that has been corrupted
and/or replaced from outside the OS (by firmware). This is
typically catastrophic for the system, but has been seen on
some machines.

ACPICA: Add write support for DataTable operation regions
The original implementation only supported reading from a DataTable
region. However, some machines have been seen that actually write
to the ACPI table contained in such a region. This change adds
support for writing to a DataTable region.

ACPICA: Fix for acpi_reallocate_root_table for incorrect root table copy
When copying the root table to the new allocation, the length
used was incorrect. The new size was used instead of the current
table size, meaning too much data was copied.

ACPICA: Fix for possible fault in acpi_ex_release_mutex
Fixed a problem with the AML Mutex handling function
acpi_ex_release_mutex where the function could fault under the very
rare condition when the interpreter has blocked, the interpreter
lock is released, the interpreter is then reentered via the
same thread, and attempts to acquire a mutex that was previously
acquired. FreeBSD report 140979.

ACPICA: Enhance configuration for output of AML Debug Object
This change will enable debug object output via a global variable,
acpi_gbl_enable_aml_debug_object. This will help with remote machine
debugging. Also, moved all debug object support code to a new
file, exdebug.c. Entire debug object module can now be
configured out of the ACPICA build if desired.

[PATCH] Fix iasl on Mac OS X
by Stefan Reinauer
Hi,
Mac OS X does not support unnamed semaphores, which breaks iasl. The
attached patch tries a named semaphore in case sema_init claims that it
is not implemented.
Best regards,
Stefan Reinauer

device detection
by webczat＠nullroute.eu.org
Hey.
If i'm detecting a device using acpi and it is not present in the namespace, does this always mean it is not present at all? i meant non pci devices like pic, memory controller etc.
