ACPICA: Parser: Cleanup aml_offset in struct acpi_walk_state
ACPICA commit d254405814495058276c0c2f9d96794d15a6c91c
This patch converts aml_offset in struct acpi_walk_state to AML address.
AML offset is actually only used by the debugger, using AML address is more
direct and efficient during the parsing stage so that we don't need to
calculate it during the parsing stage.
On the other hand, we can see several issues in the current parser logic
around the aml_offset:
1. union acpi_operand_object.Common.aml_offset is redundantly assigned in
acpi_ps_parse_loop().
2. aml_offset is not an indication of the offset from the table header but
the offset from the entry of a list of objects. Sometimes, it indicates
an entry for a Method/Package/Buffer, which makes it difficult to be
reversely calculated to a table header offset.
3. When being used with method tracers (for example, Linux function trace),
it's better to have AML address logged instead of the AML offset because
the address is the only attribute that can uniquely identify the opcode.
This patch is required to solve the above issues. Lv Zheng.
