ACPICA commit 79a466b64e6af36cc83102f05915e56cb7dd89ab
According to table 19-419 of the ACPI 6.3 specification, buffer_fields
created using the ASL create_field() Operator have been treated as
integers if the buffer_field is small enough to fit inside of an ASL
integer (32-bits or 64-bits depending on the definition block
revision). If they are larger, buffer fields are treated as ASL
Buffer objects. However, this is not true for other AML interpreter
implementations.
It has been discovered that other AML interpreters always treat
buffer fields created by create_field() as a buffer regardless of the
length of the buffer field.
More specifically, the Microsoft AML interpreter always treats buffer
fields created by the create_field() operator as buffer. ACPICA
currently does this only when the field size is larger than the
maximum integer width. This causes problems with AML code shipped in
Microsoft Surface devices.
More details:
The control methods in these devices determine the success of an ASL
control method execution by examining the type resulting from storing
a buffer field created by a create_field() operator. On success, a
Buffer object is expected, on failure an Integer containing an error
code. This buffer object is created with a dynamic size via the
create_field() operator. Due to the difference in behavior, Buffer
values of small size are however converted to Integers and thus
interpreted by the control method as having failed, whereas in
reality it succeeded. Below is an example of a control method called
TEST that illustrates this behavior.
Method (CBUF) // Create a Buffer field
{
/*
* Depending on the value of RAND, ACPICA interpreter will treat
* BF00 as an integer or buffer.
*/
create_field (BUFF, 0, RAND, BF00)
return (BF00)
}
Method (TEST)
{
/*
* Storing the value returned by CBUF to local0 will result in
* implicit type conversion outlined in the ACPI specification.
*
* ACPICA will treat local0 like an ASL integer if RAND is less
* than or equal to 64 or 32 (depending on the definition_block
* revision). If RAND is greater, it will be treated like an ASL
* buffer. Other implementations treat local0 like an ASL buffer
* regardless of the value of RAND.
*/
local0 = CBUF()
/*
* object_type of 0x03 represents an ASL Buffer
*/
if (object_type (Local0) != 0x03)
{
// Error on ACPICA if RAND is small enough
}
else
{
/*
* Success on APICA if RAND is large enough
* Other implementations always take this path because local0
* is always treated as a buffer.
*/
}
}
This change prohibits the previously mentioned integer conversion to
match other AML interpreter implementations (Microsoft) that do not
conform to the ACPI specification.

The table load process omitted adding the operation region address
range to the global list. This omission is problematic because the OS
queries the global list to check for address range conflicts before
deciding which drivers to load. This commit may result in warning
messages that look like the following:
[ 7.871761] ACPI Warning: system_IO range 0x00000428-0x0000042F conflicts with op_region 0x00000400-0x0000047F (\PMIO) (20180531/utaddress-213)
[ 7.871769] ACPI: If an ACPI driver is available for this device, you should use it instead of the native driver
However, these messages do not signify regressions. It is a result of
properly adding address ranges within the global address list.

This change defers the resolution of package elements that
are named references until after the entire namespace has been
loaded from the definition block. This allows such references
to be in fact forward references for both module level code
and control methods.

ACPICA commit 543342ab7a676f4eb0c9f100d349388a84dff0e8
This patch changes acpi_ev_initialize_region(), stop returning AE_NOT_EXIST
from it so that, not only in acpi_ds_load2_end_op(), but all places invoking
this function won't emit exceptions. The exception can be seen in
acpi_ds_initialize_objects() when certain table loading mode is chosen.
This patch also removes useless acpi_ns_locked from acpi_ev_initialize_region()
as this function will always be invoked with interpreter lock held now, and
the lock granularity has been tuned to lock around _REG execution, thus it
is now handled by acpi_ex_exit_interpreter(). Lv Zheng.

ACPICA commit b60612373a4ef63b64a57c124576d7ddb6d8efb6
For physical addresses, since the address may exceed 32-bit address range
after calculation, we should use 0x%8.8X%8.8X instead of ACPI_PRINTF_UINT
and ACPI_FORMAT_UINT64() instead of
ACPI_FORMAT_NATIVE_UINT()/ACPI_FORMAT_TO_UINT().
This patch also removes above replaced macros as there are no users.
This is a preparation to switch acpi_physical_address to 64-bit on 32-bit
kernel builds.

ACPICA commit 154f6d074dd38d6ebc0467ad454454e6c5c9ecdf
There are code pieces converting pointers using "(acpi_physical_address) x"
or "ACPI_CAST_PTR (t, x)" formats, this patch cleans up them.
Known issues:
1. Cleanup of "(ACPI_PHYSICAL_ADDRRESS) x" for a table field
For the conversions around the table fields, it is better to fix it with
alignment also fixed. So this patch doesn't modify such code. There
should be no functional problem by leaving them unchanged.

This change enhances the performance of namespace searches and
walks by adding a backpointer to the parent in each namespace
node. On large namespaces, this change can improve overall ACPI
performance by up to 9X. Adding a pointer to each namespace node
increases the overall size of the internal namespace by about 5%,
since each namespace entry usually consists of both a namespace
node and an ACPI operand object.
