ACPICA commit a760a98ec84b1ec782e0bff5f6612af6fb89c10c

Originally compiler specific headers are included by the host-specific
headers. This makes build configuration management very inconvenient. And
many inclusion order issues can be hidden accross different host OSes. It
will then likely that some host builds will be broken just because of
fixing some inclusion order issues for other host builds.

This patch splits the compiler-specific header inclusions out of the
host-specific headers so that compiler-specific inclusion order issues will
not get entangled in the host-specific inclusion orders.

Note that intel compiler defines __GNUC__, so this patch contains special
handling because acintel.h and acgcc.h should be mutual exclusive.

ACPICA commit 4aab18466b56f3660f27cffd3c0160900737f844

When mini C library is used, we should have the following macros undefined.
The only user should be the EFI applications:
  ACPI_USE_SYSTEM_CLIBRARY=n
  ACPI_USE_STANDARD_HEADERS=n
All other applications uses the compiler specific library:
  ACPI_USE_SYSTEM_CLIBRARY=y
  ACPI_USE_STANDARD_HEADERS=y
Linux/BSD kernels are the kind of hosts providing C library but does not
provide the standard headers:
  ACPI_USE_SYSTEM_CLIBRARY=y
  ACPI_USE_STANDARD_HEADERS=n
But the above logic hasn't been synchronized between the header files.

This patch synchronizes all header files to correct C library usages for
different platforms. This patch moves all ACPI_USE_SYSTEM_CLIRARY and
ACPI_USE_STANDARD_HEADERS to the top most lines of a platform specific
header.

After synchronization, ACPI_USE_SYSTEM_CLIRARY definition can be removed
for ACPI_APPLICATION. Lv Zheng.

ACPICA commit 32701b33cdc48d9bc43da8c9274cf172135b68fc

We in fact always use the compiler specific stdarg.h for GCC even
when ACPI_USE_STANDARD_HEADERS is not defined. So that the va_arg usages
can always be correct for different compiler options.

Likewise, the va_arg implemented in acenv.h is actually MSVC specific,
this patch also moves it to acmsvc.h and tunes acwin.h to correctly use
it.

After cleaning up, this patch removes all &lt;stdarg.h&gt; inclusions from
other files, but doesn't touch the BSD headers. Lv Zheng.

Linux uses asmlinkage and sparse macros to mark function symbols.  This
leads to the divergences between the Linux and the ACPICA.
This patch ports such declarators back to ACPICA. Lv Zheng.

This patch adds /sys/kernel/debug/acpi/acpidbg, which can be used by
userspace programs to access ACPICA debugger functionalities.

Known issue:
1. IO flush support
   acpi_os_notify_command_complete() and acpi_os_wait_command_ready() can
   be used by acpi_dbg module to implement .flush() filesystem operation.
   While this patch doesn't go that far. It then becomes userspace tool's
   duty now to flush old commands before executing new batch mode commands.

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

<name>Lv Zheng</name>

<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.

This patch enables ACPICA debugger files using a configurable
CONFIG_ACPI_DEBUGGER configuration item. Those debugger related code that
was originally masked as ACPI_FUTURE_USAGE now gets unmasked.

Necessary OSL stubs are also added in this patch:
1. acpi_os_readable(): This should be arch specific in Linux, while this
    patch doesn't introduce real implementation and a complex mechanism to
    allow architecture specific acpi_os_readable() to be implemented to
    validate the address. It may be done by future commits.
2. acpi_os_get_line(): This is used to obtain debugger command input. This
    patch only introduces a simple KDB concept example in it and the
    example should be co-working with the code implemented in
    acpi_os_printf(). Since this KDB example won't be compiled unless
    ENABLE_DEBUGGER is defined and it seems Linux has already stopped to
    use ENABLE_DEBUGGER, thus do not expect it can work properly.

This patch also cleans up all other ACPI_FUTURE_USAGE surroundings
accordingly.
1. Since linkage error can be automatically detected, declaration in the
   headers needn't be surrounded by ACPI_FUTURE_USAGE.
   So only the following separate exported fuction bodies are masked by
   this macro (other exported fucntions may have already been masked at
   entire module level via drivers/acpi/acpica/Makefile):
     acpi_install_exception_handler()
     acpi_subsystem_status()
     acpi_get_system_info()
     acpi_get_statistics()
     acpi_install_initialization_handler()
2. Since strip can automatically zap the no-user functions, functions that
   are not marked with ACPI_EXPORT_SYMBOL() needn't get surrounded by
   ACPI_FUTURE_USAGE.
   So the following function which is not used by Linux kernel now won't
   get surrounded by this macro:
     acpi_ps_get_name()
