Rationale:
Reduces attack surface on kernel devs opening the links for MITM
as HTTPS traffic is much harder to manipulate.
Deterministic algorithm:
For each file:
If not .svg:
For each line:
If doesn't contain `\bxmlns\b`:
For each link, `\bhttp://[^# \t\r\n]*(?:\w|/)`:
If neither `\bgnu\.org/license`, nor `\bmozilla\.org/MPL\b`:
If both the HTTP and HTTPS versions
return 200 OK and serve the same content:
Replace HTTP with HTTPS.

_DSD Device Properties Usage Rules
|
|
==================================
|
|
|
|
Properties, Property Sets and Property Subsets
|
|
==============================================
|
|
|
|
The _DSD (Device Specific Data) configuration object, introduced in ACPI 5.1,
|
|
allows any type of device configuration data to be provided via the ACPI
|
|
namespace. In principle, the format of the data may be arbitrary, but it has to
|
|
be identified by a UUID which must be recognized by the driver processing the
|
|
_DSD output. However, there are generic UUIDs defined for _DSD recognized by
|
|
the ACPI subsystem in the Linux kernel which automatically processes the data
|
|
packages associated with them and makes those data available to device drivers
|
|
as "device properties".
|
|
|
|
A device property is a data item consisting of a string key and a value (of a
|
|
specific type) associated with it.
|
|
|
|
In the ACPI _DSD context it is an element of the sub-package following the
|
|
generic Device Properties UUID in the _DSD return package as specified in the
|
|
Device Properties UUID definition document [1]_.
|
|
|
|
It also may be regarded as the definition of a key and the associated data type
|
|
that can be returned by _DSD in the Device Properties UUID sub-package for a
|
|
given device.
|
|
|
|
A property set is a collection of properties applicable to a hardware entity
|
|
like a device. In the ACPI _DSD context it is the set of all properties that
|
|
can be returned in the Device Properties UUID sub-package for the device in
|
|
question.
|
|
|
|
Property subsets are nested collections of properties. Each of them is
|
|
associated with an additional key (name) allowing the subset to be referred
|
|
to as a whole (and to be treated as a separate entity). The canonical
|
|
representation of property subsets is via the mechanism specified in the
|
|
Hierarchical Properties Extension UUID definition document [2]_.
|
|
|
|
Property sets may be hierarchical. That is, a property set may contain
|
|
multiple property subsets that each may contain property subsets of its
|
|
own and so on.
|
|
|
|
General Validity Rule for Property Sets
|
|
=======================================
|
|
|
|
Valid property sets must follow the guidance given by the Device Properties UUID
|
|
definition document [1].
|
|
|
|
_DSD properties are intended to be used in addition to, and not instead of, the
|
|
existing mechanisms defined by the ACPI specification. Therefore, as a rule,
|
|
they should only be used if the ACPI specification does not make direct
|
|
provisions for handling the underlying use case. It generally is invalid to
|
|
return property sets which do not follow that rule from _DSD in data packages
|
|
associated with the Device Properties UUID.
|
|
|
|
Additional Considerations
|
|
-------------------------
|
|
|
|
There are cases in which, even if the general rule given above is followed in
|
|
principle, the property set may still not be regarded as a valid one.
|
|
|
|
For example, that applies to device properties which may cause kernel code
|
|
(either a device driver or a library/subsystem) to access hardware in a way
|
|
possibly leading to a conflict with AML methods in the ACPI namespace. In
|
|
particular, that may happen if the kernel code uses device properties to
|
|
manipulate hardware normally controlled by ACPI methods related to power
|
|
management, like _PSx and _DSW (for device objects) or _ON and _OFF (for power
|
|
resource objects), or by ACPI device disabling/enabling methods, like _DIS and
|
|
_SRS.
|
|
|
|
In all cases in which kernel code may do something that will confuse AML as a
|
|
result of using device properties, the device properties in question are not
|
|
suitable for the ACPI environment and consequently they cannot belong to a valid
|
|
property set.
|
|
|
|
Property Sets and Device Tree Bindings
|
|
======================================
|
|
|
|
It often is useful to make _DSD return property sets that follow Device Tree
|
|
bindings.
|
|
|
|
In those cases, however, the above validity considerations must be taken into
|
|
account in the first place and returning invalid property sets from _DSD must be
|
|
avoided. For this reason, it may not be possible to make _DSD return a property
|
|
set following the given DT binding literally and completely. Still, for the
|
|
sake of code re-use, it may make sense to provide as much of the configuration
|
|
data as possible in the form of device properties and complement that with an
|
|
ACPI-specific mechanism suitable for the use case at hand.
|
|
|
|
In any case, property sets following DT bindings literally should not be
|
|
expected to automatically work in the ACPI environment regardless of their
|
|
contents.
