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: Fix table compare code, length then data

2008-10-23T03:14:36+00:00

Split the ACPI table compare. First check that the lengths match exactly. Then compare the data. Signed-off-by: Bob Moore Signed-off-by: Lin Ming Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen Signed-off-by: Len Brown

ACPICA: Allow same ACPI table to be loaded/unloaded more than once

2008-10-23T03:14:35+00:00

Without this change, a table cannot be loaded again once it has been loaded/unloaded one time. The current mechanism does not unregister a table upon an unload. During a load, if the same table is found, this no longer returns an exception. http://www.acpica.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=722 Signed-off-by: Bob Moore Signed-off-by: Lin Ming Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen Signed-off-by: Len Brown

ACPICA: Eliminate acpi_native_uint type v2

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

No longer needed; replaced mostly with u32, but also acpi_size where a type that changes 32/64 bit on 32/64-bit platforms is required. v2: Fix a cast of a 32-bit int to a pointer in ACPI to avoid a compiler warning. from David Howells Signed-off-by: Bob Moore Signed-off-by: Lin Ming Signed-off-by: Len Brown Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen

ACPICA: Ignore ACPI table signature for Load() operator

2008-06-11T23:13:47+00:00

Only "SSDT" is acceptable to the ACPI spec, but tables are seen with OEMx and null sigs. Therefore, signature validation is worthless. Apparently MS ACPI accepts such signatures, ACPICA must be compatible. http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10454 Signed-off-by: Bob Moore Signed-off-by: Lin Ming Signed-off-by: Len Brown

ACPICA: Fix for Load operator

2008-04-22T18:29:29+00:00

Fixed a problem with the Load operator where an exception was not returned in the case where the table is already loaded. http://www.acpica.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=463 Signed-off-by: Lin Ming Signed-off-by: Bob Moore Signed-off-by: Alexey Starikovskiy Signed-off-by: Len Brown

ACPICA: Fix for fault if Load() fails

2008-04-22T18:29:24+00:00

Fixed a problem with the Load operator when loading a table from a buffer object. The input buffer was prematurely zeroed and/or deleted. http://www.acpica.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=577 Signed-off-by: Bob Moore Signed-off-by: Alexey Starikovskiy Signed-off-by: Len Brown

ACPICA: allow Load(OEMx) tables

2007-05-29T22:29:50+00:00

HP and Hitachi machines have been implemented with SSDT's that use the "OEMx" signatures. But upon Load, ACPICA is rejecting these tables because they are not using the "SSDT" signature. ACPI Error (tbinstal-0134): Table has invalid signature [OEMx], must be SSDT... Signed-off-by: Len Brown
