Summary of changes for version 20090730: This release is available at www.acpica.org/downloads The ACPI 4.0 implementation for ACPICA is complete with this release. 1) ACPI CA Core Subsystem: ACPI 4.0: Added header file support for all new and changed ACPI tables. Co= mpletely new tables are: IBFT, IVRS, MSCT, and WAET. Tables that are new fo= r ACPI 4.0, but have previously been supported in ACPICA are: CPEP, BERT, E= INJ, ERST, and HEST. Other newly supported tables are: UEFI and WDAT. There= have been some ACPI 4.0 changes to other existing tables. Split the large = actbl1.h header into the existing actbl2.h header. ACPICA BZ 774. ACPI 4.0: Implemented predefined name validation for all new names. There a= re 31 new names in ACPI 4.0. The predefined validation module was split int= o two files. The new file is namespace/nsrepair.c. ACPICA BZ 770. Implemented support for so-called "module-level executable code". This is e= xecutable AML code that exists outside of any control method and is intende= d to be executed at table load time. Although illegal since ACPI 2.0, this = type of code still exists and is apparently still being created. Blocks of = this code are now detected and executed as intended. Currently, the code bl= ocks must exist under either an If, Else, or While construct; these are the= typical cases seen in the field. ACPICA BZ 762. Lin Ming. Implemented an automatic dynamic repair for predefined names that return ne= sted Package objects. This applies to predefined names that are defined to = return a variable-length Package of sub-packages. If the number of sub-pack= ages is one, BIOS code is occasionally seen that creates a simple single pa= ckage with no sub-packages. This code attempts to fix the problem by wrappi= ng a new package object around the existing package. These methods can be r= epaired: _ALR, _CSD, _HPX, _MLS, _PRT, _PSS, _TRT, and _TSS. ACPICA BZ 790. Fixed a regression introduced in 20090625 for the AcpiGetDevices interface.= The _HID/_CID matching was broken and no longer matched IDs correctly. ACP= ICA BZ 793. Fixed a problem with AcpiReset where the reset would silently fail if the r= egister was one of the protected I/O ports. AcpiReset now bypasses the port= validation mechanism. This may eventually be driven into the AcpiRead/Writ= e interfaces. Fixed a regression related to the recent update of the AcpiRead/Write inter= faces. A sleep/suspend could fail if the optional PM2 Control register does= not exist during an attempt to write the Bus Master Arbitration bit. (Howe= ver, some hosts already delete the code that writes this bit, and the code = may in fact be obsolete at this date.) ACPICA BZ 799. Fixed a problem where AcpiTerminate could fault if inadvertently called twi= ce in succession. ACPICA BZ 795. Example Code and Data Size: These are the sizes for the OS-independent acpi= ca.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 muc= h larger code and data size. Previous Release: Non-Debug Version: 84.7K Code, 17.8K Data, 102.5K Total Debug Version: 160.5K Code, 50.6K Data, 211.1K Total Current Release: Non-Debug Version: 85.5K Code, 18.0K Data, 103.5K Total Debug Version: 161.6K Code, 50.9K Data, 212.5K Total 2) iASL Compiler/Disassembler and Tools: ACPI 4.0: Implemented disassembler support for all new ACPI tables and chan= ges to existing tables.
