- Update to version 20200528
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
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]

- Update to version 20190215
Support for ACPI specification version 6.3:
* Add PCC operation region support for the AML interpreter. This adds PCC
operation region support in the AML interpreter and a default handler for
acpiexec. The change also renames the PCC region address space keyword to
PlatformCommChannel.
* Support for new predefined methods _NBS, _NCH, _NIC, _NIH, and _NIG.
These methods provide OSPM with health information and device boot
status.
* PDTT: Add TriggerOrder to the PCC Identifier structure. The field value
defines if the trigger needs to be invoked by OSPM before or at the end
of kernel crash dump processing/handling operation.
* SRAT: Add Generic Affinity Structure subtable. This subtable in the SRAT
is used for describing devices such as heterogeneous processors,
accelerators, GPUs, and IO devices with integrated compute or DMA
engines.
* MADT: Add support for statistical profiling in GICC. Statistical
profiling extension (SPE) is an architecture-specific feature for ARM.
* MADT: Add online capable flag. If this bit is set, system hardware
supports enabling this processor during OS runtime.
* New Error Disconnect Recover Notification value. There are a number of
scenarios where system Firmware in collaboration with hardware may
disconnect one or more devices from the rest of the system for purposes
of error containment. Firmware can use this new notification value to
alert OSPM of such a removal.
* PPTT: New additional fields in Processor Structure Flags. These flags
provide more information about processor topology.
* NFIT/Disassembler: Change a field name from "Address Range" to "Region
Type".
* HMAT updates: make several existing fields to be reserved as well as
rename subtable 0 to "memory proximity domain attributes".
* GTDT: Add support for new GTDT Revision 3. This revision adds information
for the EL2 timer.
* iASL: Update the HMAT example template for new fields.
* iASL: Add support for the new revision of the GTDT (Rev 3).
ACPICA kernel-resident subsystem:
* AML Parser: fix the main AML parse loop to correctly skip erroneous
extended opcodes. AML opcodes come in two lengths: 1-byte opcodes and 2-
byte extended opcodes. If an error occurs during an AML table load, the
AML parser will continue loading the table by skipping the offending
opcode. This implements a "load table at any cost" philosophy.
iASL Compiler/Disassembler and Tools:
* iASL: Add checks for illegal object references, such as a reference
outside of method to an object within a method. Such an object is only
temporary.
* iASL: Emit error for creation of a zero-length operation region. Such a
region is rather pointless. If encountered, a runtime error is also
implemented in the interpeter.
* Debugger: Fix a possible fault with the "test objects" command.
* iASL: Makefile: support parent directory filenames containing embedded
spaces.
* iASL: Update the TPM2 template to revision 4.
* iASL: Add the ability to report specific warnings or remarks as errors.
* Disassembler: Disassemble OEMx tables as actual AML byte code.
Previously, these tables were treated as "unknown table".
* iASL: Add definition and disassembly for TPM2 revision 3.
* iASL: Add support for TPM2 rev 3 compilation.
