acpi_gbl_group_module_level_code and acpi_gbl_execute_tables_as_methods were
used to enable different table load behavior. The different table
load behaviors are as follows:
A.) acpi_gbl_group_module_level_code enabled the legacy approach where
ASL if statements are executed after the namespace object has
been loaded.
B.) acpi_gbl_execute_tables_as_methods is currently used to enable the
table load to be a method invocation. This meaning that ASL If
statements are executed in-line rather than deferred until after
the ACPI namespace has been populated. This is the correct
behavior and option A will be removed in the future.
We do not support a table load behavior where these variables are
assigned the same value. In otherwords, we only support option A or B
and do not need acpi_gbl_group_module_level_code to enable A. From now on,
acpi_gbl_execute_tables_as_methods == 0 enables option A and
acpi_gbl_execute_tables_as_methods == 1 enables option B.
Note: option A is expected to be removed in the future and option B
will become the only supported table load behavior.

AML opcodes come in two lengths: 1-byte opcodes and 2-byte, extended opcodes.
If an error occurs due to illegal opcodes during table load, the AML parser
needs to continue loading the table. In order to do this, it needs to skip
parsing of the offending opcode and operands associated with that opcode.
This change fixes the AML parse loop to correctly skip parsing of incorrect
extended opcodes. Previously, only the short opcodes were skipped correctly.

Previous change in the AML parser code blindly set all non-successful
dispatcher statuses to AE_OK. That approach is incorrect, though,
because successful control method invocations from module-level
return AE_CTRL_TRANSFER. Overwriting AE_OK to this status causes the
AML parser to think that there was no return value from the control
method invocation.

The dispatcher and the executer process the parse nodes During table
load. Error status from the evaluation confuses the AML parser. This
results in the parser failing to complete parsing of the current
scope op which becomes problematic. For the incorrect AML below, _ADR
never gets created.
definition_block(...)
{
Scope (\_SB)
{
Device (PCI0){...}
Name (OBJ1, 0x0)
OBJ1 = PCI0 + 5 // Results in an operand error.
} // \_SB not closed
// parser looks for \_SB._SB.PCI0, results in AE_NOT_FOUND error
// Entire scope block gets skipped.
Scope (\_SB.PCI0)

}
Fix the above error by properly completing the initial \_SB scope
after an error by clearing errors that occur during table load. In
the above case, this means that OBJ1 = PIC0 + 5 is skipped.

This change alters the parser so that the table load does not abort
upon an error.
Notable changes:
If there is an error while parsing an element of the termlist, we
will skip parsing the current termlist element and continue parsing
to the next opcode in the termlist.
If we get an error while parsing the conditional of If/Else/While or
the device name of Scope, we will skip the body of the statement all
together and pop the parser_state.
If we get an error while parsing the base offset and length of an

ACPICA commit 07fffd02607685b655ed92ee15c160e6a810b60b
The acpi_debug_trace() is the mechanism known as ACPI method tracing that is
used by Linux as ACPICA debugging message reducer. This facility can be
controlled through Linux ACPI subsystem - /sys/module/acpi/parameters.
This facility requires CONFIG_ACPI_DEBUG to be enabled to see ACPICA trace
logs in the kernel dmesg output.
This patch enhances acpi_debug_trace() to make it not only a message reducer,
but a real tracer to trace AML interpreter execution. Note that in addition
to the AML tracer enabling, this patch also updates the facility with the
following enhancements:
1. Allow a full path to be specified by the acpi_debug_trace() API.
2. Allow any method rather than just the entrance of acpi_evaluate_object()
to be traced.
3. All interpreter ACPI_LV_TRACE_POINT messages are collected for
ACPI_EXECUTER layer.
The Makefile of drivers/acpi/acpica is also updated to include exdebug.o
and the duplicated stubs are removed after that.
Note that since this patch has enhanced the method tracing facility, Linux
need also be updated after applying this patch. Lv Zheng.

ACPICA commit afb52611dbe7403551f93504d3798534f5c343f4
This patch cleans up the code of assigning the AML address to the
union acpi_operand_object.
The idea behind this cleanup is:
The AML address of the union acpi_operand_object should always be determined at
the point where the object is encountered. It should be started from the
first byte of the object. For example, the opcode of the object, the name
string of the user_term object, or the first byte of the packaged object
(where a pkg_length is prefixed). So it's not cleaner to have it assigned
here and there in the entire ACPICA source tree.
There are some special cases for the internal opcodes, before cleaning up
the internal opcodes, we should also determine the rules for the AML
addresses of the internal opcodes:
1. INT_NAMEPATH_OP: the address of the first byte for the name_string.
2. INT_METHODCALL_OP: the address of the first byte for the name_string.
3. INT_BYTELIST_OP: the address of the first byte for the byte_data list.
4. INT_EVAL_SUBTREE_OP: the address of the first byte for the
Region/Package/Buffer/bank_field/Field arguments.
5. INT_NAMEDFIELD_OP: the address to the name_seg.
6. INT_RESERVEDFIELD_OP: the address to the 0x00 prefix.
7. INT_ACCESSFIELD_OP: the address to the 0x01 prefix.
8. INT_CONNECTION_OP: the address to the 0x02 prefix.
9: INT_EXTACCESSFIELD_OP: the address to the 0x03 prefix.
10.INT_RETURN_VALUE_OP: the address of the replaced operand.
11.computational_data: the address to the
Byte/Word/Dword/Qword/string_prefix.
Before cleaning up the internal root scope of the aml_walk, turning it into
the term_list, we need to remember the aml_start address as the "Aml"
attribute for the union acpi_operand_object created by acpi_ps_create_scope_op().
Finally, we can delete some redundant AML address assignment in psloop.c.

ACPICA commit 61b360074fde2bb8282722579410f5d1fb12f84d
This patch converts aml_offset in union acpi_operand_object 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 the offset during the parsing stage and will not have
difficulities in converting it into other offset attributes.
Sometimes, aml_offset is not an indication of the offset from the table
header but the offset from the entry of a list of terms, which requires
additional efforts to convert it into an offset from the table header. By
using AML address directly, there is no such difficulty.
Thus this patch also deletes a logic in disassembler that is trying to
convert the aml_offset from
"offset from the start address of Method/Package/Buffer"
into the
"offset from the start address of the ACPI table"
(Sample code deletion can be seen in acpi_dm_deferred_parse(), but the
function is not in the Linux kernel). Lv Zheng.

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.

This change adds support to automatically mark a control method as

positively prevent the method from being entered by more than one
thread and thus preventing a possible abort when an attempt is
made to create an object twice.
Implemented by parsing all non-serialize control methods at table
load time.
This feature is disabled by default and this patch also adds a new
Linux kernel parameter "acpi_auto_serialize" to allow this feature
to be turned on for a specific boot.

History: This support changes a method to "serialized" on the fly if the
method generates an AE_ALREADY_EXISTS error, indicating the possibility
that it cannot handle reentrancy.
This fix repairs a couple of issues seen in the field, especially on
machines with many cores.
1) Delete method children only upon the exit of the last thread, so
as to not delete objects out from under running threads.
2) Set the "serialized" bit for the method only upon the exit of the
last thread, so as to not cause deadlock when running threads attempt
to exit.
3) Cleanup the use of the AML "MethodFlags" and internal method flags
so that there is no longer any confustion between the two.
