Linux ACPI Device Objects + + The Linux kernel's core ACPI subsystem creates struct acpi_device + objects for ACPI namespace objects representing devices, power resources + processors, thermal zones.

ACPI Namespace Objects Mapping + + The following rules apply when creating struct acpi_device objects on + the basis of the contents of ACPI System Description Tables (as + indicated by the letter in the first column and the notation in the + second column of the table above): + N: + The object's source is an ACPI namespace node (as indicated by the + named object's type in the second column). In that case the object's + directory in sysfs will contain the 'path' attribute whose value is + the full path to the node from the namespace root. + struct acpi_device objects are created for the ACPI namespace nodes + whose _STA control methods return PRESENT or FUNCTIONING. The power + resource nodes or nodes without _STA are assumed to be both PRESENT + and FUNCTIONING. + F: + The struct acpi_device object is created for a fixed hardware + feature (as indicated by the fixed feature flag's name in the second + column), so its sysfs directory will not contain the 'path' + attribute. + M: + The struct acpi_device object is created for an ACPI namespace node + with specific control methods (as indicated by the ACPI defined + device's type in the second column). The 'path' attribute containing + its namespace path will be present in its sysfs directory. For + example, if the _BCL method is present for an ACPI namespace node, a + struct acpi_device object with LNXVIDEO 'bus_id' will be created for + it. + + The third column of the above table indicates which ACPI System + Description Tables contain information used for the creation of the + struct acpi_device objects represented by the given row (xSDT means DSDT + or SSDT). + + The forth column of the above table indicates the 'bus_id' generation + rule of the struct acpi_device object: + _HID: + _HID in the last column of the table means that the object's bus_id + is derived from the _HID/_CID identification objects present under + the corresponding ACPI namespace node. The object's sysfs directory + will then contain the 'hid' and 'modalias' attributes that can be + used to retrieve the _HID and _CIDs of that object. + LNXxxxxx: + The 'modalias' attribute is also present for struct acpi_device + objects having bus_id of the "LNXxxxxx" form (pseudo devices), in + which cases it contains the bus_id string itself. + device: + 'device' in the last column of the table indicates that the object's + bus_id cannot be determined from _HID/_CID of the corresponding + ACPI namespace node, although that object represents a device (for + example, it may be a PCI device with _ADR defined and without _HID + or _CID). In that case the string 'device' will be used as the + object's bus_id. + + +4. Linux ACPI Physical Device Glue + + ACPI device (i.e. struct acpi_device) objects may be linked to other + objects in the Linux' device hierarchy that represent "physical" devices + (for example, devices on the PCI bus). If that happens, it means that + the ACPI device object is a "companion" of a device otherwise + represented in a different way and is used (1) to provide configuration + information on that device which cannot be obtained by other means and + (2) to do specific things to the device with the help of its ACPI + control methods. One ACPI device object may be linked this way to + multiple "physical" devices. + + If an ACPI device object is linked to a "physical" device, its sysfs + directory contains the "physical_node" symbolic link to the sysfs + directory of the target device object. In turn, the target device's + sysfs directory will then contain the "firmware_node" symbolic link to + the sysfs directory of the companion ACPI device object. + The linking mechanism relies on device identification provided by the + ACPI namespace. For example, if there's an ACPI namespace object + representing a PCI device (i.e. a device object under an ACPI namespace + object representing a PCI bridge) whose _ADR returns 0x00020000 and the + bus number of the parent PCI bridge is 0, the sysfs directory + representing the struct acpi_device object created for that ACPI + namespace object will contain the 'physical_node' symbolic link to the + /sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:02:0/ sysfs directory of the + corresponding PCI device. + + The linking mechanism is generally bus-specific. The core of its + implementation is located in the drivers/acpi/glue.c file, but there are + complementary parts depending on the bus types in question located + elsewhere. For example, the PCI-specific part of it is located in + drivers/pci/pci-acpi.c. + + +5.
