20 October 2022. Summary of changes for version 20221020:

This release is available at https://acpica.org/downloads

0) Global changes:

Allow disabling of -Werror. For distro maintainers having `-Werror`
can delay update of GCC. Since every GCC release might add new
warnings that were not yet captured, it might break the build of
packages. With this change, distros can now build with `NOWERROR=TRUE`
instead of patching either the errors or the makefiles. The default
behavior keeps on using `-Werror`.

1) ACPICA kernel-resident subsystem:

Added support for FFH Operation Region special context data.
FFH(Fixed Function Hardware) Opregion is approved to be added in
ACPI 6.5 via code first approach[1]. It requires special context
data similar to GPIO and Generic Serial Bus as it needs to know
platform specific offset and length.

Reverted this commit "executer/exsystem: Warn about sleeps greater
than 10 ms." Due to user complaints about valid sleeps greater than
10ms seen in some existing machines -- generating lots of warnings.

Do not touch VGA memory when EBDA < 1KiB. The ACPICA code assumes
that EBDA region must be at least 1KiB in size. Because this is
not guaranteed, it might happen that while scanning the memory for
RSDP pointer, the kernel touches memory above 640KiB. This is
unwanted as the VGA memory range may not be decoded or even present
when running under virtualization.

Check that EBDA pointer is in valid memory. If the memory at 0x40e
is uninitialized, the retrieved physical memory address of EBDA
may be beyond the low memory (i.e. above 640K). If so, the kernel
may unintentionally access the VGA memory, that might not be decoded
or even present in case of virtualization.

2) iASL Compiler/Disassembler and ACPICA tools:

Completed the existing partial support for the CDAT "table". Although
this isn't technically an ACPI table (It doesn't go into the XSDT),
it is possible to support this table in the Data Table compiler.
Created one new file, "utilities/utcksum.c", used to centralize
checksum generation/validation into one location. Includes changes
to makefiles and MSVC project files.

Updated support for the IORT table - update to version E.e

Added CXL 3.0 structures (CXIMS & RDPAS) to the CEDT table

iASL: Added CCEL table to both compiler/disassembler.

iASL: NHLT table: Fixed compilation of optional undocumented fields

iASL: Fix iASL compile error due to ACPI_TDEL_OFFSET. Commit #
10e4763 ("iASL: Add CCEL table to both compiler/disassembler")
introduced the iASL build issue. The issue is due to using
ACPI_TDEL_OFFSET for CCEL table member reference. To fix it, change
ACPI_TDEL_OFFSET with ACPI_CCEL_OFFSET.
 1.1.1.20  27-Aug-2022  christos Import acpica-2022-03-31
 1.1.1.19  03-Apr-2021  christos 31 March 2021. Summary of changes for version 20210331:

This release is available at https://acpica.org/downloads, and
includes all ACPI 6.4 support

1) ACPICA kernel-resident subsystem:
ACPI 6.4: iASL: deprecate DDBHandleObj keyword
Always create namespace nodes using AcpiNsCreateNode(). ACPICA is
allocating an object using kmalloc(), but then frees it using
kmem_cache_free(<"Acpi-Namespace" kmem_cache>). This is wrong.
Fixed a race condition in generic serial bus operation region
handler. Fixed by Hans de Goede.

2) iASL Compiler/Disassembler and ACPICA tools:

ACPI 6.4: NFIT: add Location Cookie field
ACPI 6.4: HMAT: add new fields/flags
ACPI 6.4: Add new flags in SRAT
ACPI 6.4: add SDEV secure access components
ACPI 6.4: add Csi2Bus resource template
ACPI 6.4: add support for PHAT table
ACPI 6.4: add support for PMTT table
Add disassembly support for the IVRS table. Compilation of the
table is not yet complete. Fixed a potential infinite loop due to
type mismatch. The for-loop is using a UINT8 counter and comparing
the upper limit against a UINT32 AslGbl_ExpectedMessagesIndex
maximum. In the case where AslGbl_ExpectedMessagesIndex is > 255
the counter i will wrap around to zero and the loop will never
exit. I suspect the AslGbl_ExpectedMessagesIndex is never that
high, but fixing this does future proof the code and cleans up
static analysis warnings.Colin King.

iASL/TableCompiler: update it with IORT table E.b revision changes.
From shamiali2008.
iASL/TableCompiler: Add compilation support for the VIOT table.
Signed-off-by: Jean-Philippe Brucker.
iASL/TableCompiler: Add compilation support for CEDT table.
Also, update the CEDT template.
 1.1.1.18  02-Aug-2020  christos VERSION 20200717
Submitted by Bob Moore on 17 July, 2020 - 13:35

17 July 2020. Summary of changes for version 20200717:

1) ACPICA kernel-resident subsystem:

Do not increment OperationRegion reference counts for field units.
Recent server firmware has revealed that this reference count can
overflow on large servers that declare many field units (thousands)
under the same OperationRegion. This occurs because each field unit
declaration will add a reference count to the source OperationRegion.
This release solves the reference count overflow for OperationRegion
objects by preventing fieldUnits from incrementing their parent
OperationRegion's reference count.

Replaced one-element arrays with flexible-arrays, which were
introduced in C99.

Restored the readme file containing the directions for generation
of ACPICA from source on MSVC 2017. Updated the file for MSVC 2017.
File is located at: generate/msvc2017/readme.txt

2) iASL Compiler/Disassembler and ACPICA tools:

iASL: Fixed a regression found in version 20200214. Prevent iASL
from emitting an extra byte of garbage data when control methods
declared a single parameter type without using braces. This extra
byte is known to cause a blue screen on the Windows AML interpreter.

iASL: Made a change to allow external declarations to specify the
type of a named object even when some name segments are not defined.
This change allows the following ASL code to compile (When DEV0 is
not defined or not defined yet):

External (\_SB.DEV0.OBJ1, IntObj)
External (\_SB.DEV0, DeviceObj)

iASL: Fixed a problem where method names in "Alias ()" statement
could be misinterpreted. They are now interpreted correctly as
method invocations.

iASL: capture a method parameter count (Within the Method info
segment, as well as the argument node) when using parameter type
lists.

VERSION 20200528
Submitted by Bob Moore on 28 May, 2020 - 13:24

28 May 2020. Summary of changes for version 20200528:

1) ACPICA kernel-resident subsystem:

Removed old/obsolete Visual Studio files which were used to build
the Windows versions of the ACPICA tools. Since we have moved to
Visual Studio 2017, we are no longer supporting Visual Studio 2006
and 2009 project files. The new subdirectory and solution file are
located at:

acpica/generate/msvc2017/AcpiComponents.sln

2) iASL Compiler/Disassembler and ACPICA tools:

iASL: added support for a new OperationRegion Address Space (subtype):
PlatformRtMechanism. Support for this new keyword is being released
for early prototyping. It will appear in the next release of the
ACPI specification.

iASL: do not optimize the NameString parameter of the CondRefOf
operator. In the previous iASL compiler release, the NameString
parameter of the CondRefOf was optimized. There is evidence that
some implementations of the AML interpreter do not perform the
recursive search-to-parent search during the execution of the
CondRefOf operator. Therefore, the CondRefOf operator behaves
differently when the NameString parameter is a single name segment
(a NameSeg) as opposed to a full NamePath (starting at the root
scope) or a NameString containing parent prefixes.

iASL: Prevent an inadvertent remark message. This change prevents
a remark if within a control method the following exist:
1) An Operation Region is defined, and
2) A Field operator is defined that refers to the region. This
happens because at the top level, the Field operator does not
actually create a new named object, it simply references the
operation region.

Removed support for the acpinames utility. The acpinames was a
simple utility used to populate and display the ACPI namespace
without executing any AML code. However, ACPICA now supports
executable opcodes outside of control methods. This means that
executable AML opcodes such as If and Store opcodes need to be
executed during table load. Therefore, acpinames would need to be
updated to match the same behavior as the acpiexec utility and
since acpiexec can already dump the entire namespace (via the
'namespace' command), we no longer have the need to maintain
acpinames.

In order to dump the contents of the ACPI namepsace using acpiexec,
execute the following command from the command line:

acpiexec -b "n" [aml files]

 1.1.1.14  29-Apr-2019  christos 
 1.1.1.13  05-Jan-2019  christos 13 December 2018. Summary of changes for version 20181213:

1) ACPICA Kernel-resident Subsystem:

Fixed some buffer length issues with the GenericSerialBus, related to two
of the bidirectional protocols: AttribRawProcessBytes and AttribRawBytes,
which are rarely seen in the field. For these, the LEN field of the ASL
buffer is now ignored. Hans de Goede

Implemented a new object evaluation trace mechanism for control methods
and data objects. This includes nested control methods. It is
particularly useful for examining the ACPI execution during system
initialization since the output is relatively terse. The flag below
enables the output of the trace via the ACPI_DEBUG_PRINT_RAW interface:
#define ACPI_LV_EVALUATION 0x00080000

Examples:
Enter evaluation : _SB.PCI0._INI (Method)
Exit evaluation : _SB.PCI0._INI
Enter evaluation : _OSI (Method)
Exit evaluation : _OSI
Enter evaluation : _SB.PCI0.TEST (Method)
Nested method call : _SB.PCI0.NST1
Exit nested method : _SB.PCI0.NST1
Exit evaluation : _SB.PCI0.TEST

Added two recently-defined _OSI strings. See
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/drivers/acpi/winacpi-
osi.
"Windows 2018"
"Windows 2018.2"

Update for buffer-to-string conversions via the ToHexString ASL operator.
A "0x" is now prepended to each of the hex values in the output string.
This provides compatibility with other ACPI implementations. The ACPI
specification is somewhat vague on this issue.
Example output string after conversion:
"0x01,0x02,0x03,0x04,0x05,0x06"

Return a run-time error for TermArg expressions within individual package
elements. Although this is technically supported by the ASL grammar,
other ACPI implementations do not support this either. Also, this fixes a
fault if this type of construct is ever encountered (it never has been).


2) iASL Compiler/Disassembler and Tools:

iASL: Implemented a new compile option (-ww) that will promote individual
warnings and remarks to errors. This is intended to enhance the firmware
build process.

AcpiExec: Implemented a new command-line option (-eo) to support the new
object evaluation trace mechanism described above.

Disassembler: Added support to disassemble OEMx tables as AML/ASL tables
instead of a "unknown table" message.

AcpiHelp: Improved support for the "special" predefined names such as
_Lxx, _Exx, _EJx, _T_x, etc. For these, any legal hex value can now be
used for "xx" and "x".
