ACPICA commit 189429fb7d06cdb89043ae32d615faf553467f1d

This patch follows new ACPICA design, eliminates old portable OSLs, and
implements fopen/fread/fwrite/fclose/fseek/ftell for GNU EFI
environment. This patch also eliminates acpi_log_error(), convering them
into fprintf(stderr)/perror(). Lv Zheng.

ACPICA commit b2294cae776f5a66a7697414b21949d307e6856f

This patch removes unwanted spaces for typedef. This solution doesn't cover
function types.

Note that the linuxize result of this commit is very giant and should have
many conflicts against the current Linux upstream. Thus it is required to
modify the linuxize result of this commit and the commits around it
manually in order to have them merged to the Linux upstream. Since this is
very costy, we should do this only once, and if we can't ensure to do this
only once, we need to revert the Linux code to the wrong indentation result
before merging the linuxize result of this commit. Lv Zheng.

<title>ACPICA: Debugger: Convert some mechanisms to OSPM specific</title>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.toradex.cn/cgit/linux-toradex.git/commit/?id=f8d31489629c125806ce4bf587c0c5c284d6d113'/>
<id>f8d31489629c125806ce4bf587c0c5c284d6d113</id>
<content type='text'>
The following mechanisms are OSPM specific:
1. Redirect output destination to console: no file redirection will be
   needed by an in-kernel debugger, there is even no file can be accessed
   when the debugger is running in the kernel mode.
2. Output command prompts: programs other than acpiexec can have different
   prompt characters and the prompt characters may be implemented as a
   special character sequence to form a char device IO protocol.
3. Command ready/complete handshake: OSPM debugger may wait more conditions
   to implement OSPM specific semantics (for example, FIFO full/empty
   conditions for O_NONBLOCK or IO open/close conditions).
Leaving such OSPM specific stuffs in the ACPICA debugger core blocks
Linux debugger IO driver implementation.

Several new OSL APIs are provided by this patch:
1. acpi_os_initialize_command_signals: initialize command handshake mechanism
   or any other OSPM specific stuffs.
2. acpi_os_terminate_command_signals: reversal of
   acpi_os_initialize_command_signals.
3. acpi_os_wait_command_ready: putting debugger task into wait state when a
   command is not ready. OSPMs can terminate command loop by returning
   AE_CTRL_TERMINATE from this API. Normally, wait_event() or
   wait_for_multiple_object() may be used to implement this API.
4. acpi_os_notify_command_complete: putting user task into running state when a
   command has been completed. OSPMs can terminate command loop by
   returning AE_CTRL_TERMINATE from this API. Normally, wake_up() or
   set_event() may be used to implement this API.
This patch also converts current command signaling implementation into a
generic debugger layer (osgendbg.c) to be used by the existing OSPMs or
acpiexec, in return, Linux can have chance to implement its own command
handshake mechanism. This patch also implements acpiexec batch mode in a
multi-threading mode comaptible style as a demo (this can be confirmed by
configuring acpiexec into DEBUGGER_MULTI_THREADED mode where the batch mode
is still working). Lv Zheng.

Note that the OSPM specific command handshake mechanism is required by
Linux kernel because:
1. Linux kernel trends to use wait queue to synchronize two threads, using
   mutexes to achieve that will cause false "dead lock" warnings.
2. The command handshake mechanism implemented by ACPICA is implemented in
   this way because of a design issue in debugger IO streaming. Debugger IO
   outputs are simply cached using a giant buffer, this should be tuned by
   Linux in the future.

<title>ACPICA: Debugger: Add thread ID support so that single step mode can only apply to the debugger thread</title>
<updated>2015-10-22T00:05:05+00:00</updated>

<id>f988f24ee7931d3487b36cc0c29164296bf2191e</id>
<content type='text'>
When the debugger is running in the kernel mode, acpi_db_single_step() may
also be invoked by the kernel runtime code path but the single stepping
command prompt may be erronously logged as the kernel logs and runtime code
path cannot proceed.

This patch fixes this issue by adding acpi_gbl_db_thread_id for the debugger
thread and preventing acpi_db_single_step() to be invoked from other threads.

It is not suitable to add acpi_thread_id parameter for acpi_os_execute() as
the function may be implemented as work queue on some hosts. So it is
better to let the hosts invoke acpi_set_debugger_thread_id(). Currently
acpiexec is not configured as DEBUGGER_MULTI_THREADED, but we can do this.
When we do this, it is better to invoke acpi_set_debugger_thread_id() in
acpi_os_execute() when the execution type is OSL_DEBUGGER_MAIN_THREAD. The
support should look like:
  create_thread(&amp;tid);
  if (type == OSL_DEBUGGER_MAIN_THREAD)
      acpi_set_debugger_thread_id(tid);
  resume_thread(tid);
Similarly, semop() may be used for pthread implementation. But this patch
simply skips debugger thread ID check for application instead of
introducing such complications as there is no need to skip
acpi_db_single_step() for an application debugger - acpiexec.

Note that the debugger thread ID can also be used by acpi_os_printf() to
filter out debugger output. Lv Zheng.

<content type='text'>
This patch adds portable file IO to generic OSL to improve the portability
of the applications.

A portable application may use different file IO interfaces than the
standard C library ones. This patch thus introduces an abstract file IO
layer into the generic OSL.

Note that this patch does not introduce users of such interfaces, further
patches should introduce users one by one carefully with build tests
performed. Lv Zheng.

This patch adds portable file IO to generic OSL to improve the portability
of the applications.

A portable application may use different file IO interfaces than the
standard C library ones. This patch thus introduces an abstract file IO
layer into the generic OSL.

Note that this patch does not introduce users of such interfaces, further
patches should introduce users one by one carefully with build tests
performed. Lv Zheng.
