ACPICA: Tables: Add deferred table verification support

2017-07-20T14:38:25+00:00

ACPICA commit 2dd6c151d5d5e76dacba8f7db9e259fc72982d17
ACPICA commit ffddee6638aced83be18b8bc88569586c1a43e03

This patch allows tables not verified in early stage verfied in
acpi_reallocate_root_table(). This is useful for OSPMs like linux where tables
cannot be verified in early stage due to early ioremp limitations on some
architectures. Reported by Hans de Geode, fixed by Lv Zheng.

ACPICA: Tables: Mechanism to handle late stage acpi_get_table() imbalance

2017-06-12T12:09:29+00:00

Considering this case:

 1. A program opens a sysfs table file 65535 times, it can increase
    validation_count and first increment cause the table to be mapped:

     validation_count = 65535

 2. AML execution causes "Load" to be executed on the same
    table, this time it cannot increase validation_count, so
    validation_count remains:

      validation_count = 65535

 3. The program closes sysfs table file 65535 times, it can decrease
    validation_count and the last decrement cause the table to be
    unmapped:

     validation_count = 0

 4. AML code still accessing the loaded table, kernel crash can be
    observed.

To prevent that from happening, add a validation_count threashold.
When it is reached, the validation_count can no longer be
incremented/decremented to invalidate the table descriptor (means
preventing table unmappings)

Note that code added in acpi_tb_put_table() is actually a no-op but
changes the warning message into a "warn once" one. Lv Zheng.

ACPICA: Tables: Back port acpi_get_table_with_size() and early_acpi_os_unmap_memory() from Linux kernel

2016-12-21T01:36:38+00:00

ACPICA commit cac6790954d4d752a083e6122220b8a22febcd07

This patch back ports Linux acpi_get_table_with_size() and
early_acpi_os_unmap_memory() into ACPICA upstream to reduce divergences.

The 2 APIs are used by Linux as table management APIs for long time, it
contains a hidden logic that during the early stage, the mapped tables
should be unmapped before the early stage ends.

During the early stage, tables are handled by the following sequence:
 acpi_get_table_with_size();
 parse the table
 early_acpi_os_unmap_memory();
During the late stage, tables are handled by the following sequence:
 acpi_get_table();
 parse the table
Linux uses acpi_gbl_permanent_mmap to distinguish the early stage and the
late stage.

The reasoning of introducing acpi_get_table_with_size() is: ACPICA will
remember the early mapped pointer in acpi_get_table() and Linux isn't able to
prevent ACPICA from using the wrong early mapped pointer during the late
stage as there is no API provided from ACPICA to be an inverse of
acpi_get_table() to forget the early mapped pointer.

But how ACPICA can work with the early/late stage requirement? Inside of
ACPICA, tables are ensured to be remained in "INSTALLED" state during the
early stage, and they are carefully not transitioned to "VALIDATED" state
until the late stage. So the same logic is in fact implemented inside of
ACPICA in a different way. The gap is only that the feature is not provided
to the OSPMs in an accessible external API style.

It then is possible to fix the gap by providing an inverse of
acpi_get_table() from ACPICA, so that the two Linux sequences can be
combined:
 acpi_get_table();
 parse the table
 acpi_put_table();
In order to work easier with the current Linux code, acpi_get_table() and
acpi_put_table() is implemented in a usage counting based style:
 1. When the usage count of the table is increased from 0 to 1, table is
    mapped and .Pointer is set with the mapping address (VALIDATED);
 2. When the usage count of the table is decreased from 1 to 0, .Pointer
    is unset and the mapping address is unmapped (INVALIDATED).
So that we can deploy the new APIs to Linux with minimal effort by just
invoking acpi_get_table() in acpi_get_table_with_size() and invoking
acpi_put_table() in early_acpi_os_unmap_memory(). Lv Zheng.

ACPICA: FADT support cleanup

2016-08-13T01:09:33+00:00

ACPICA commit 34ccd43af3fd1870fddfac0617dd0ba706963558

Remove all vestiges of the version 2 FADT which never was included
in the ACPI specification.

This enabled significant cleanup of both the data table compiler
and the disassembler.

Added many clarification comments to associate each FADT version
with the version of the ACPI spec where it was originally
defined.
