tools/power/acpi: Add userspace AML interface support

2015-12-14T23:17:44+00:00

This patch adds a userspace tool to access Linux kernel AML debugger interface. Tow modes are supported by this tool: 1. Interactive: Users are able to launch a debugging shell to talk with in-kernel AML debugger. Note that it's user duty to ensure kernel runtime integrity by using this debugging tool: A. Some control methods evaluated by the users may result in kernel panics if those control methods shouldn't be evaluated by the OSPMs according to the current BIOS/OS configurations. B. Currently if a single stepping evaluation couldn't run to an end, then the synchronization primitives acquired by the evaluation may block normal OSPM control method evaluations. 2. Batch: Users are able to execute debugger commands in a script. Note that in addition to the above duties, it's user duty to ensure script runtime integrity by using this debugging tool in this mode: C. Currently only those commands that are not used for single stepping are suitable to be used in this mode. D. If the execution of the command may cause a failure that could result in an endless kernel execution, the execution of the script may also get blocked. To exit the utility, currently "exit/quit" commands are recommended, but ctrl-C" can also be used. Signed-off-by: Lv Zheng Signed-off-by: Rafael J. Wysocki

tools/power/acpi: Add descend support in ACPI tools Makefile

2015-07-31T21:39:31+00:00

This patch splits tools/power/acpi/Makefile to support descend compling for ACPI tools. In this patch tools/ec related stuff is removed as it is originally not enabled. Also a missing .o (utnonansi.o) is added to the acpidump/Makefile. Signed-off-by: Lv Zheng Signed-off-by: Rafael J. Wysocki

ACPICA: Common: Enhance cm_get_file_size() to improve portability

2014-07-08T12:22:26+00:00

This patch uses abstract file IO and acpi_log_error() APIs to enhance cm_get_file_size() so that applications that invoke this API could have portability improved. With actual references added to abstract file IO and acpi_log_error(), the applications need to link oslibcfs.o, utdebug.o, utexcep.o, utmath.o, utprint.o and utxferror.o. It is also required to add acpi_os_initialize() invocations if an application starts to use acpi_log_error(). acpidump has already invoked acpi_os_initialize() in this way. Lv Zheng.

ACPICA: OSL: Clean up acpi_os_printf()/acpi_os_vprintf() stubs

2014-07-08T12:22:25+00:00

This patch is mainly for acpidump where there are redundant acpi_os_printf()/acpi_os_vprintf() stubs implemented. This patch cleans up such specific implementation by linking acpidump to osunixxf.c/oswinxf.c. To make acpi_os_printf() exported by osunixxf.c/oswinxf.c to behave as the old acpidump specific ones, applications need to: 1. Initialize acpi_gbl_db_output_flags to ACPI_DB_CONSOLE_OUTPUT. This is automatically done by ACPI_INIT_GLOBAL(), applications need to link utglobal.o to utilize this mechanism. 2. Initialize acpi_gbl_output_file to stdout. For GCC, assigning stdout to acpi_gbl_output_file using ACPI_INIT_GLOBAL() is not possible as stdout is not a constant in GCC environment. As an alternative solution, stdout assignment is put into acpi_os_initialize(). Thus acpi_os_initialize() need to be invoked very early by the applications to initialize the default output of acpi_os_printf(). This patch also releases osunixxf.c to the Linux kernel. Lv Zheng.

ACPICA: Utilities: Cleanup DEFINE_ACPI_GLOBALS by moving acpi_ut_init_global() from utglobal.c to utinit.c

2014-07-08T12:22:25+00:00

The utglobal.c is used to define and initialize global variables. It makes sense if just adding utglobal.o to applications that are using such variables. But acpi_ut_init_globals() is preventing us from doing so as this initialization function references other components' initializations code, which leads to the requirement that many files should also get linked if one wants to link utglobal.o. It is possible to just move acpi_ut_init_global() to utinit.c for applications that require this function to link. By linking utglobal.o, we can stop defining DEFINE_ACPI_GLOBALS for applications (currently only acpidump is affected). Lv Zheng.

ACPI / tools: Introduce ec_access.c - tool to access the EC

2014-04-28T10:36:56+00:00

This userspace tool accesses the EC through the ec_sys debug driver (through /sys/kernel/debug/ec/ec0/io). The EC command/data registers cannot be accessed directly, because they may be manipulated by the AML interpreter in parallel. The ec_sys driver synchronizes user space (debug) access with the AML interpreter. Signed-off-by: Thomas Renninger [rjw: Changelog] Signed-off-by: Rafael J. Wysocki
