ACPI: probe ECDT before loading AML tables regardless of module-level code flag · d737f333

Erik Schmauss authored Oct 17, 2018

It was discovered that AML tables were loaded before or after the
ECDT depending on acpi_gbl_execute_tables_as_methods. According to
the ACPI spec, the ECDT should be loaded before the namespace is
populated by loading AML tables (DSDT and SSDT). Since the ECDT
should be loaded early in the boot process, this change moves the
ECDT probing to acpi_early_init.

ACPICA: Remove acpi_gbl_group_module_level_code and only use acpi_gbl_execute_tables_as_methods instead

acpi_gbl_group_module_level_code and acpi_gbl_execute_tables_as_methods were
used to enable different table load behavior. The different table
load behaviors are as follows:

A.) acpi_gbl_group_module_level_code enabled the legacy approach where
ASL if statements are executed after the namespace object has
been loaded.
B.) acpi_gbl_execute_tables_as_methods is currently used to enable the
table load to be a method invocation. This meaning that ASL If
statements are executed in-line rather than deferred until after
the ACPI namespace has been populated. This is the correct
behavior and option A will be removed in the future.

We do not support a table load behavior where these variables are
assigned the same value. In otherwords, we only support option A or B
and do not need acpi_gbl_group_module_level_code to enable A. From now on,
acpi_gbl_execute_tables_as_methods == 0 enables option A and
acpi_gbl_execute_tables_as_methods == 1 enables option B.

Note: option A is expected to be removed in the future and option B
will become the only supported table load behavior.

ACPICA: AML Parser: fix parse loop to correctly skip erroneous extended opcodes · c64baa3a

Erik Schmauss authored Oct 17, 2018

AML opcodes come in two lengths: 1-byte opcodes and 2-byte, extended opcodes.
If an error occurs due to illegal opcodes during table load, the AML parser
needs to continue loading the table. In order to do this, it needs to skip
parsing of the offending opcode and operands associated with that opcode.

This change fixes the AML parse loop to correctly skip parsing of incorrect
extended opcodes. Previously, only the short opcodes were skipped correctly.

ACPICA: AML interpreter: add region addresses in global list during initialization · 4abb951b

Erik Schmauss authored Oct 17, 2018

The table load process omitted adding the operation region address
range to the global list. This omission is problematic because the OS
queries the global list to check for address range conflicts before
deciding which drivers to load. This commit may result in warning
messages that look like the following:

[    7.871761] ACPI Warning: system_IO range 0x00000428-0x0000042F conflicts with op_region 0x00000400-0x0000047F (\PMIO) (20180531/utaddress-213)
[    7.871769] ACPI: If an ACPI driver is available for this device, you should use it instead of the native driver

However, these messages do not signify regressions. It is a result of
properly adding address ranges within the global address list.
