ACPICA: create acpica/ directory

2009-01-09T08:30:47+00:00

also, delete sleep/ and delete ACPI_CFLAGS from Makefile Signed-off-by: Len Brown

ACPICA: Restructure includes into public/private

2008-12-31T06:15:40+00:00

acpi.h now includes only the "public" acpica headers. All other acpica headers are "private" and should not be included by acpica users. One new file, accommon.h is used to include the commonly used private headers for acpica code generation. Future plans are to move all private headers to a new subdirectory.

ACPICA: Consolidate method arg count validation code

2008-12-30T03:38:39+00:00

Merge the code that validates control method argument counts into the predefined validation module. Eliminates possible multiple warnings for incorrect counts. Signed-off-by: Bob Moore Signed-off-by: Lin Ming Signed-off-by: Len Brown

ACPICA: Add Buffer->String conversion for predefined methods

2008-12-30T03:38:38+00:00

For predefined methods (such as _BIF), add automatic conversion for objects that are required to be a String, but a Buffer was found instead. This can happen when reading string battery data from an operation region, because it used to be difficult to convert the data from buffer to string from within the ASL.

ACPICA: New: Validation for predefined ACPI methods/objects

2008-10-23T03:14:49+00:00

Validates predefined ACPI objects that appear in the namespace, at the time they are evaluated. The argument count and the type of the returned object are validated. The purpose of this validation is to detect problems with the BIOS-exposed predefined ACPI objects before the results are returned to the ACPI-related drivers.

ACPICA: Reduce error to warning for incorrect method arg count

2008-10-23T03:14:44+00:00

Previously aborted with error if too few arguments were passed to a control method via the external ACPICA interface. Now issue a warning instead and continue. Handles the case where the method inadvertently declares too many arguments, but does not actually use the extra ones. Applies mainly to the predefined methods. http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11032 Signed-off-by: Lin Ming Signed-off-by: Bob Moore Signed-off-by: Len Brown

ACPICA: Disallow evaluation of named object types with no value

2008-10-23T03:14:43+00:00

Return AE_TYPE for objects that have no value and therefore evaluation is undefined: Device, Event, Mutex, Region, Thermal, and Scope. Signed-off-by: Bob Moore Signed-off-by: Lin Ming Signed-off-by: Len Brown

ACPICA: Add argument count checking to control method invocation via acpi_evaluate_object

2008-07-16T21:27:03+00:00

Error if too few arguments, warning if too many. This applies only to external programmatic control method execution, not method-to-method calls within the AML. Signed-off-by: Lin Ming Signed-off-by: Bob Moore Signed-off-by: Len Brown Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen
