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.
