Modify the ACPI namespace scanning code to register a struct acpi_device object for every namespace node representing a device, processor and so on, even if the device represented by that namespace node is reported to be not present and not functional by _STA. There are multiple reasons to do that. First of all, it avoids quite a lot of overhead when struct acpi_device objects are deleted every time acpi_bus_trim() is run and then added again by a subsequent acpi_bus_scan() for the same scope, although the namespace objects they correspond to stay in memory all the time (which always is the case on a vast majority of systems). Second, it will allow user space to see that there are namespace nodes representing devices that are not present at the moment and may be added to the system. It will also allow user space to evaluate _SUN for those nodes to check what physical slots the "missing" devices may be put into and it will make sense to add a sysfs attribute for _STA evaluation after this change (that will be useful for thermal management on some systems). Next, it will help to consolidate the ACPI hotplug handling among subsystems by making it possible to store hotplug-related information in struct acpi_device objects in a standard common way. Finally, it will help to avoid a race condition related to the deletion of ACPI namespace nodes. Namely, namespace nodes may be deleted as a result of a table unload triggered by _EJ0 or _DCK. If a hotplug notification for one of those nodes is triggered right before the deletion and it executes a hotplug callback via acpi_hotplug_execute(), the ACPI handle passed to that callback may be stale when the callback actually runs. One way to work around that is to always pass struct acpi_device pointers to hotplug callbacks after doing a get_device() on the objects in question which eliminates the use-after-free possibility (the ACPI handles in those objects are invalidated by acpi_scan_drop_device(), so they will trigger ACPICA errors on attempts to use them).

Abstract:
|
|
|
|
The Linux ACPI subsystem converts ACPI namespace objects into a Linux
|
|
device tree under the /sys/devices/LNXSYSTEM:00 and updates it upon
|
|
receiving ACPI hotplug notification events. For each device object in this
|
|
hierarchy there is a corresponding symbolic link in the
|
|
/sys/bus/acpi/devices.
|
|
This document illustrates the structure of the ACPI device tree.

1. ACPI Definition Blocks
|
|
|
|
The ACPI firmware sets up RSDP (Root System Description Pointer) in the
|
|
system memory address space pointing to the XSDT (Extended System
|
|
Description Table). The XSDT always points to the FADT (Fixed ACPI
|
|
Description Table) using its first entry, the data within the FADT
|
|
includes various fixed-length entries that describe fixed ACPI features
|
|
of the hardware. The FADT contains a pointer to the DSDT
|
|
(Differentiated System Descripition Table). The XSDT also contains
|
|
entries pointing to possibly multiple SSDTs (Secondary System
|
|
Description Table).
|
|
|
|
The DSDT and SSDT data is organized in data structures called definition
|
|
blocks that contain definitions of various objects, including ACPI
|
|
control methods, encoded in AML (ACPI Machine Language). The data block
|
|
of the DSDT along with the contents of SSDTs represents a hierarchical
|
|
data structure called the ACPI namespace whose topology reflects the
|
|
structure of the underlying hardware platform.
|
|
|
|
The relationships between ACPI System Definition Tables described above
|
|
are illustrated in the following diagram.

|
|
NOTE: RSDP can also contain a pointer to the RSDT (Root System
|
|
Description Table). Platforms provide RSDT to enable
|
|
compatibility with ACPI 1.0 operating systems. The OS is expected
|
|
to use XSDT, if present.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2. Example ACPI Namespace
|
|
|
|
All definition blocks are loaded into a single namespace. The namespace
|
|
is a hierarchy of objects identified by names and paths.
|
|
The following naming conventions apply to object names in the ACPI
|
|
namespace:
|
|
1. All names are 32 bits long.
|
|
2. The first byte of a name must be one of 'A' - 'Z', '_'.
|
|
3. Each of the remaining bytes of a name must be one of 'A' - 'Z', '0'
|
|
- '9', '_'.
|
|
4. Names starting with '_' are reserved by the ACPI specification.
|
|
5. The '\' symbol represents the root of the namespace (i.e. names
|
|
prepended with '\' are relative to the namespace root).
|
|
6. The '^' symbol represents the parent of the current namespace node
|
|
(i.e. names prepended with '^' are relative to the parent of the
|
|
current namespace node).
|
|
|
|
The figure below shows an example ACPI namespace.

3. 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. Those objects are exported to user space via
|
|
sysfs as directories in the subtree under /sys/devices/LNXSYSTM:00. The
|
|
format of their names is <bus_id:instance>, where 'bus_id' refers to the
|
|
ACPI namespace representation of the given object and 'instance' is used
|
|
for distinguishing different object of the same 'bus_id' (it is
|
|
two-digit decimal representation of an unsigned integer).
|
|
|
|
The value of 'bus_id' depends on the type of the object whose name it is
|
|
part of as listed in the table below.
|
|

Table 1. 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.
|
|
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.
|
|
|
