The AML Debugger
Copyright (C) 2016, Intel Corporation
Author: Lv Zheng <lv.zheng@intel.com>
This document describes the usage of the AML debugger embedded in the Linux
kernel.
1. Build the debugger
The following kernel configuration items are required to enable the AML
debugger interface from the Linux kernel:
CONFIG_ACPI_DEBUGGER=y
CONFIG_ACPI_DEBUGGER_USER=m
The userspace utilities can be built from the kernel source tree using
the following commands:
$ cd tools
$ make acpi
The resultant userspace tool binary is then located at:
tools/power/acpi/acpidbg
It can be installed to system directories by running "make install" (as a
sufficiently privileged user).
2. Start the userspace debugger interface
After booting the kernel with the debugger built-in, the debugger can be
started by using the following commands:
# mount -t debugfs none /sys/kernel/debug
# modprobe acpi_dbg
# tools/power/acpi/acpidbg
That spawns the interactive AML debugger environment where you can execute
debugger commands.
The commands are documented in the "ACPICA Overview and Programmer Reference"
that can be downloaded from
https://acpica.org/documentation
The detailed debugger commands reference is located in Chapter 12 "ACPICA
Debugger Reference". The "help" command can be used for a quick reference.
3. Stop the userspace debugger interface
The interactive debugger interface can be closed by pressing Ctrl+C or using
the "quit" or "exit" commands. When finished, unload the module with:
# rmmod acpi_dbg
The module unloading may fail if there is an acpidbg instance running.
4. Run the debugger in a script
It may be useful to run the AML debugger in a test script. "acpidbg" supports
this in a special "batch" mode. For example, the following command outputs
the entire ACPI namespace:
# acpidbg -b "namespace"

Upgrading ACPI tables via initrd
================================
1) Introduction (What is this about)
2) What is this for
3) How does it work
4) References (Where to retrieve userspace tools)
1) What is this about
---------------------
If the ACPI_TABLE_UPGRADE compile option is true, it is possible to
upgrade the ACPI execution environment that is defined by the ACPI tables
via upgrading the ACPI tables provided by the BIOS with an instrumented,
modified, more recent version one, or installing brand new ACPI tables.
When building initrd with kernel in a single image, option
ACPI_TABLE_OVERRIDE_VIA_BUILTIN_INITRD should also be true for this
feature to work.
For a full list of ACPI tables that can be upgraded/installed, take a look
at the char *table_sigs[MAX_ACPI_SIGNATURE]; definition in
drivers/acpi/tables.c.
All ACPI tables iasl (Intel's ACPI compiler and disassembler) knows should
be overridable, except:
- ACPI_SIG_RSDP (has a signature of 6 bytes)
- ACPI_SIG_FACS (does not have an ordinary ACPI table header)
Both could get implemented as well.
2) What is this for
-------------------
Complain to your platform/BIOS vendor if you find a bug which is so severe
that a workaround is not accepted in the Linux kernel. And this facility
allows you to upgrade the buggy tables before your platform/BIOS vendor
releases an upgraded BIOS binary.
This facility can be used by platform/BIOS vendors to provide a Linux
compatible environment without modifying the underlying platform firmware.
This facility also provides a powerful feature to easily debug and test
ACPI BIOS table compatibility with the Linux kernel by modifying old
platform provided ACPI tables or inserting new ACPI tables.
It can and should be enabled in any kernel because there is no functional
change with not instrumented initrds.
3) How does it work
-------------------
# Extract the machine's ACPI tables:
cd /tmp
acpidump >acpidump
acpixtract -a acpidump
# Disassemble, modify and recompile them:
iasl -d *.dat
# For example add this statement into a _PRT (PCI Routing Table) function
# of the DSDT:
Store("HELLO WORLD", debug)
# And increase the OEM Revision. For example, before modification:
DefinitionBlock ("DSDT.aml", "DSDT", 2, "INTEL ", "TEMPLATE", 0x00000000)
# After modification:
DefinitionBlock ("DSDT.aml", "DSDT", 2, "INTEL ", "TEMPLATE", 0x00000001)
iasl -sa dsdt.dsl
# Add the raw ACPI tables to an uncompressed cpio archive.
# They must be put into a /kernel/firmware/acpi directory inside the cpio
# archive. Note that if the table put here matches a platform table
# (similar Table Signature, and similar OEMID, and similar OEM Table ID)
# with a more recent OEM Revision, the platform table will be upgraded by
# this table. If the table put here doesn't match a platform table
# (dissimilar Table Signature, or dissimilar OEMID, or dissimilar OEM Table
# ID), this table will be appended.
mkdir -p kernel/firmware/acpi
cp dsdt.aml kernel/firmware/acpi
# A maximum of "NR_ACPI_INITRD_TABLES (64)" tables are currently allowed
# (see osl.c):
iasl -sa facp.dsl
iasl -sa ssdt1.dsl
cp facp.aml kernel/firmware/acpi
cp ssdt1.aml kernel/firmware/acpi
# The uncompressed cpio archive must be the first. Other, typically
# compressed cpio archives, must be concatenated on top of the uncompressed
# one. Following command creates the uncompressed cpio archive and
# concatenates the original initrd on top:
find kernel | cpio -H newc --create > /boot/instrumented_initrd
cat /boot/initrd >>/boot/instrumented_initrd
# reboot with increased acpi debug level, e.g. boot params:
acpi.debug_level=0x2 acpi.debug_layer=0xFFFFFFFF
# and check your syslog:
[ 1.268089] ACPI: PCI Interrupt Routing Table [\_SB_.PCI0._PRT]
[ 1.272091] [ACPI Debug] String [0x0B] "HELLO WORLD"
iasl is able to disassemble and recompile quite a lot different,
also static ACPI tables.
4) Where to retrieve userspace tools
------------------------------------
iasl and acpixtract are part of Intel's ACPICA project:
http://acpica.org/
and should be packaged by distributions (for example in the acpica package
on SUSE).
acpidump can be found in Len Browns pmtools:
ftp://kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/lenb/acpi/utils/pmtools/acpidump
This tool is also part of the acpica package on SUSE.
Alternatively, used ACPI tables can be retrieved via sysfs in latest kernels:
/sys/firmware/acpi/tables

Linux ACPI Custom Control Method How To
=======================================
Written by Zhang Rui <rui.zhang@intel.com>
Linux supports customizing ACPI control methods at runtime.
Users can use this to
1. override an existing method which may not work correctly,
or just for debugging purposes.
2. insert a completely new method in order to create a missing
method such as _OFF, _ON, _STA, _INI, etc.
For these cases, it is far simpler to dynamically install a single
control method rather than override the entire DSDT, because kernel
rebuild/reboot is not needed and test result can be got in minutes.
Note: Only ACPI METHOD can be overridden, any other object types like
"Device", "OperationRegion", are not recognized. Methods
declared inside scope operators are also not supported.
Note: The same ACPI control method can be overridden for many times,
and it's always the latest one that used by Linux/kernel.
Note: To get the ACPI debug object output (Store (AAAA, Debug)),
please run "echo 1 > /sys/module/acpi/parameters/aml_debug_output".
1. override an existing method
a) get the ACPI table via ACPI sysfs I/F. e.g. to get the DSDT,
just run "cat /sys/firmware/acpi/tables/DSDT > /tmp/dsdt.dat"
b) disassemble the table by running "iasl -d dsdt.dat".
c) rewrite the ASL code of the method and save it in a new file,
d) package the new file (psr.asl) to an ACPI table format.
Here is an example of a customized \_SB._AC._PSR method,
DefinitionBlock ("", "SSDT", 1, "", "", 0x20080715)
{
Method (\_SB_.AC._PSR, 0, NotSerialized)
{
Store ("In AC _PSR", Debug)
Return (ACON)
}
}
Note that the full pathname of the method in ACPI namespace
should be used.
e) assemble the file to generate the AML code of the method.
e.g. "iasl -vw 6084 psr.asl" (psr.aml is generated as a result)
If parameter "-vw 6084" is not supported by your iASL compiler,
please try a newer version.
f) mount debugfs by "mount -t debugfs none /sys/kernel/debug"
g) override the old method via the debugfs by running
"cat /tmp/psr.aml > /sys/kernel/debug/acpi/custom_method"
2. insert a new method
This is easier than overriding an existing method.
We just need to create the ASL code of the method we want to
insert and then follow the step c) ~ g) in section 1.
3. undo your changes
The "undo" operation is not supported for a new inserted method
right now, i.e. we can not remove a method currently.
For an overridden method, in order to undo your changes, please
save a copy of the method original ASL code in step c) section 1,
and redo step c) ~ g) to override the method with the original one.
Note: We can use a kernel with multiple custom ACPI method running,
But each individual write to debugfs can implement a SINGLE
method override. i.e. if we want to insert/override multiple
ACPI methods, we need to redo step c) ~ g) for multiple times.
Note: Be aware that root can mis-use this driver to modify arbitrary
memory and gain additional rights, if root's privileges got
restricted (for example if root is not allowed to load additional
modules after boot).

ACPICA Trace Facility
Copyright (C) 2015, Intel Corporation
Author: Lv Zheng <lv.zheng@intel.com>
Abstract:
This document describes the functions and the interfaces of the method
tracing facility.
1. Functionalities and usage examples:
ACPICA provides method tracing capability. And two functions are
currently implemented using this capability.
A. Log reducer
ACPICA subsystem provides debugging outputs when CONFIG_ACPI_DEBUG is
enabled. The debugging messages which are deployed via
ACPI_DEBUG_PRINT() macro can be reduced at 2 levels - per-component
level (known as debug layer, configured via
/sys/module/acpi/parameters/debug_layer) and per-type level (known as
debug level, configured via /sys/module/acpi/parameters/debug_level).
But when the particular layer/level is applied to the control method
evaluations, the quantity of the debugging outputs may still be too
large to be put into the kernel log buffer. The idea thus is worked out
to only enable the particular debug layer/level (normally more detailed)
logs when the control method evaluation is started, and disable the
detailed logging when the control method evaluation is stopped.
The following command examples illustrate the usage of the "log reducer"
functionality:
a. Filter out the debug layer/level matched logs when control methods
are being evaluated:
# cd /sys/module/acpi/parameters
# echo "0xXXXXXXXX" > trace_debug_layer
# echo "0xYYYYYYYY" > trace_debug_level
# echo "enable" > trace_state
b. Filter out the debug layer/level matched logs when the specified
control method is being evaluated:
# cd /sys/module/acpi/parameters
# echo "0xXXXXXXXX" > trace_debug_layer
# echo "0xYYYYYYYY" > trace_debug_level
# echo "\PPPP.AAAA.TTTT.HHHH" > trace_method_name
# echo "method" > /sys/module/acpi/parameters/trace_state
c. Filter out the debug layer/level matched logs when the specified
control method is being evaluated for the first time:
# cd /sys/module/acpi/parameters
# echo "0xXXXXXXXX" > trace_debug_layer
# echo "0xYYYYYYYY" > trace_debug_level
# echo "\PPPP.AAAA.TTTT.HHHH" > trace_method_name
# echo "method-once" > /sys/module/acpi/parameters/trace_state
Where:
0xXXXXXXXX/0xYYYYYYYY: Refer to Documentation/acpi/debug.txt for
possible debug layer/level masking values.
\PPPP.AAAA.TTTT.HHHH: Full path of a control method that can be found
in the ACPI namespace. It needn't be an entry
of a control method evaluation.
B. AML tracer
There are special log entries added by the method tracing facility at
the "trace points" the AML interpreter starts/stops to execute a control
method, or an AML opcode. Note that the format of the log entries are
subject to change:
[ 0.186427] exdebug-0398 ex_trace_point : Method Begin [0xf58394d8:\_SB.PCI0.LPCB.ECOK] execution.
[ 0.186630] exdebug-0398 ex_trace_point : Opcode Begin [0xf5905c88:If] execution.
[ 0.186820] exdebug-0398 ex_trace_point : Opcode Begin [0xf5905cc0:LEqual] execution.
[ 0.187010] exdebug-0398 ex_trace_point : Opcode Begin [0xf5905a20:-NamePath-] execution.
[ 0.187214] exdebug-0398 ex_trace_point : Opcode End [0xf5905a20:-NamePath-] execution.
[ 0.187407] exdebug-0398 ex_trace_point : Opcode Begin [0xf5905f60:One] execution.
[ 0.187594] exdebug-0398 ex_trace_point : Opcode End [0xf5905f60:One] execution.
[ 0.187789] exdebug-0398 ex_trace_point : Opcode End [0xf5905cc0:LEqual] execution.
[ 0.187980] exdebug-0398 ex_trace_point : Opcode Begin [0xf5905cc0:Return] execution.
[ 0.188146] exdebug-0398 ex_trace_point : Opcode Begin [0xf5905f60:One] execution.
[ 0.188334] exdebug-0398 ex_trace_point : Opcode End [0xf5905f60:One] execution.
[ 0.188524] exdebug-0398 ex_trace_point : Opcode End [0xf5905cc0:Return] execution.
[ 0.188712] exdebug-0398 ex_trace_point : Opcode End [0xf5905c88:If] execution.
[ 0.188903] exdebug-0398 ex_trace_point : Method End [0xf58394d8:\_SB.PCI0.LPCB.ECOK] execution.
Developers can utilize these special log entries to track the AML
interpretion, thus can aid issue debugging and performance tuning. Note
that, as the "AML tracer" logs are implemented via ACPI_DEBUG_PRINT()
macro, CONFIG_ACPI_DEBUG is also required to be enabled for enabling
"AML tracer" logs.
The following command examples illustrate the usage of the "AML tracer"
functionality:
a. Filter out the method start/stop "AML tracer" logs when control
methods are being evaluated:
# cd /sys/module/acpi/parameters
# echo "0x80" > trace_debug_layer
# echo "0x10" > trace_debug_level
# echo "enable" > trace_state
b. Filter out the method start/stop "AML tracer" when the specified
control method is being evaluated:
# cd /sys/module/acpi/parameters
# echo "0x80" > trace_debug_layer
# echo "0x10" > trace_debug_level
# echo "\PPPP.AAAA.TTTT.HHHH" > trace_method_name
# echo "method" > trace_state
c. Filter out the method start/stop "AML tracer" logs when the specified
control method is being evaluated for the first time:
# cd /sys/module/acpi/parameters
# echo "0x80" > trace_debug_layer
# echo "0x10" > trace_debug_level
# echo "\PPPP.AAAA.TTTT.HHHH" > trace_method_name
# echo "method-once" > trace_state
d. Filter out the method/opcode start/stop "AML tracer" when the
specified control method is being evaluated:
# cd /sys/module/acpi/parameters
# echo "0x80" > trace_debug_layer
# echo "0x10" > trace_debug_level
# echo "\PPPP.AAAA.TTTT.HHHH" > trace_method_name
# echo "opcode" > trace_state
e. Filter out the method/opcode start/stop "AML tracer" when the
specified control method is being evaluated for the first time:
# cd /sys/module/acpi/parameters
# echo "0x80" > trace_debug_layer
# echo "0x10" > trace_debug_level
# echo "\PPPP.AAAA.TTTT.HHHH" > trace_method_name
# echo "opcode-opcode" > trace_state
Note that all above method tracing facility related module parameters can
be used as the boot parameters, for example:
acpi.trace_debug_layer=0x80 acpi.trace_debug_level=0x10 \
acpi.trace_method_name=\_SB.LID0._LID acpi.trace_state=opcode-once
2. Interface descriptions:
All method tracing functions can be configured via ACPI module
parameters that are accessible at /sys/module/acpi/parameters/:
trace_method_name
The full path of the AML method that the user wants to trace.
Note that the full path shouldn't contain the trailing "_"s in its
name segments but may contain "\" to form an absolute path.
trace_debug_layer
The temporary debug_layer used when the tracing feature is enabled.
Using ACPI_EXECUTER (0x80) by default, which is the debug_layer
used to match all "AML tracer" logs.
trace_debug_level
The temporary debug_level used when the tracing feature is enabled.
Using ACPI_LV_TRACE_POINT (0x10) by default, which is the
debug_level used to match all "AML tracer" logs.
trace_state
The status of the tracing feature.
Users can enable/disable this debug tracing feature by executing
the following command:
# echo string > /sys/module/acpi/parameters/trace_state
Where "string" should be one of the following:
"disable"
Disable the method tracing feature.
"enable"
Enable the method tracing feature.
ACPICA debugging messages matching
"trace_debug_layer/trace_debug_level" during any method
execution will be logged.
"method"
Enable the method tracing feature.
ACPICA debugging messages matching
"trace_debug_layer/trace_debug_level" during method execution
of "trace_method_name" will be logged.
"method-once"
Enable the method tracing feature.
ACPICA debugging messages matching
"trace_debug_layer/trace_debug_level" during method execution
of "trace_method_name" will be logged only once.
"opcode"
Enable the method tracing feature.
ACPICA debugging messages matching
"trace_debug_layer/trace_debug_level" during method/opcode
execution of "trace_method_name" will be logged.
"opcode-once"
Enable the method tracing feature.
ACPICA debugging messages matching
"trace_debug_layer/trace_debug_level" during method/opcode
execution of "trace_method_name" will be logged only once.
Note that, the difference between the "enable" and other feature
enabling options are:
1. When "enable" is specified, since
"trace_debug_layer/trace_debug_level" shall apply to all control
method evaluations, after configuring "trace_state" to "enable",
"trace_method_name" will be reset to NULL.
2. When "method/opcode" is specified, if
"trace_method_name" is NULL when "trace_state" is configured to
these options, the "trace_debug_layer/trace_debug_level" will
apply to all control method evaluations.

In order to support ACPI open-ended hardware configurations (e.g. development
boards) we need a way to augment the ACPI configuration provided by the firmware
image. A common example is connecting sensors on I2C / SPI buses on development
boards.
Although this can be accomplished by creating a kernel platform driver or
recompiling the firmware image with updated ACPI tables, neither is practical:
the former proliferates board specific kernel code while the latter requires
access to firmware tools which are often not publicly available.
Because ACPI supports external references in AML code a more practical
way to augment firmware ACPI configuration is by dynamically loading
user defined SSDT tables that contain the board specific information.
For example, to enumerate a Bosch BMA222E accelerometer on the I2C bus of the
Minnowboard MAX development board exposed via the LSE connector [1], the
following ASL code can be used:
DefinitionBlock ("minnowmax.aml", "SSDT", 1, "Vendor", "Accel", 0x00000003)
{
External (\_SB.I2C6, DeviceObj)
Scope (\_SB.I2C6)
{
Device (STAC)
{
Name (_ADR, Zero)
Name (_HID, "BMA222E")
Method (_CRS, 0, Serialized)
{
Name (RBUF, ResourceTemplate ()
{
I2cSerialBus (0x0018, ControllerInitiated, 0x00061A80,
AddressingMode7Bit, "\\_SB.I2C6", 0x00,
ResourceConsumer, ,)
GpioInt (Edge, ActiveHigh, Exclusive, PullDown, 0x0000,
"\\_SB.GPO2", 0x00, ResourceConsumer, , )
{ // Pin list
0
}
})
Return (RBUF)
}
}
}
}
which can then be compiled to AML binary format:
$ iasl minnowmax.asl
Intel ACPI Component Architecture
ASL Optimizing Compiler version 20140214-64 [Mar 29 2014]
Copyright (c) 2000 - 2014 Intel Corporation
ASL Input: minnomax.asl - 30 lines, 614 bytes, 7 keywords
AML Output: minnowmax.aml - 165 bytes, 6 named objects, 1 executable opcodes
[1] http://wiki.minnowboard.org/MinnowBoard_MAX#Low_Speed_Expansion_Connector_.28Top.29
The resulting AML code can then be loaded by the kernel using one of the methods
below.
== Loading ACPI SSDTs from initrd ==
This option allows loading of user defined SSDTs from initrd and it is useful
when the system does not support EFI or when there is not enough EFI storage.
It works in a similar way with initrd based ACPI tables override/upgrade: SSDT
aml code must be placed in the first, uncompressed, initrd under the
"kernel/firmware/acpi" path. Multiple files can be used and this will translate
in loading multiple tables. Only SSDT and OEM tables are allowed. See
initrd_table_override.txt for more details.
Here is an example:
# Add the raw ACPI tables to an uncompressed cpio archive.
# They must be put into a /kernel/firmware/acpi directory inside the
# cpio archive.
# The uncompressed cpio archive must be the first.
# Other, typically compressed cpio archives, must be
# concatenated on top of the uncompressed one.
mkdir -p kernel/firmware/acpi
cp ssdt.aml kernel/firmware/acpi
# Create the uncompressed cpio archive and concatenate the original initrd
# on top:
find kernel | cpio -H newc --create > /boot/instrumented_initrd
cat /boot/initrd >>/boot/instrumented_initrd
== Loading ACPI SSDTs from EFI variables ==
This is the preferred method, when EFI is supported on the platform, because it
allows a persistent, OS independent way of storing the user defined SSDTs. There
is also work underway to implement EFI support for loading user defined SSDTs
and using this method will make it easier to convert to the EFI loading
mechanism when that will arrive.
In order to load SSDTs from an EFI variable the efivar_ssdt kernel command line
parameter can be used. The argument for the option is the variable name to
use. If there are multiple variables with the same name but with different
vendor GUIDs, all of them will be loaded.
In order to store the AML code in an EFI variable the efivarfs filesystem can be
used. It is enabled and mounted by default in /sys/firmware/efi/efivars in all
recent distribution.
Creating a new file in /sys/firmware/efi/efivars will automatically create a new
EFI variable. Updating a file in /sys/firmware/efi/efivars will update the EFI
variable. Please note that the file name needs to be specially formatted as
"Name-GUID" and that the first 4 bytes in the file (little-endian format)
represent the attributes of the EFI variable (see EFI_VARIABLE_MASK in
include/linux/efi.h). Writing to the file must also be done with one write
operation.
For example, you can use the following bash script to create/update an EFI
variable with the content from a given file:
#!/bin/sh -e
while ! [ -z "$1" ]; do
case "$1" in
"-f") filename="$2"; shift;;
"-g") guid="$2"; shift;;
*) name="$1";;
esac
shift
done
usage()
{
echo "Syntax: ${0##*/} -f filename [ -g guid ] name"
exit 1
}
[ -n "$name" -a -f "$filename" ] || usage
EFIVARFS="/sys/firmware/efi/efivars"
[ -d "$EFIVARFS" ] || exit 2
if stat -tf $EFIVARFS | grep -q -v de5e81e4; then
mount -t efivarfs none $EFIVARFS
fi
# try to pick up an existing GUID
[ -n "$guid" ] || guid=$(find "$EFIVARFS" -name "$name-*" | head -n1 | cut -f2- -d-)
# use a randomly generated GUID
[ -n "$guid" ] || guid="$(cat /proc/sys/kernel/random/uuid)"
# efivarfs expects all of the data in one write
tmp=$(mktemp)
/bin/echo -ne "\007\000\000\000" | cat - $filename > $tmp
dd if=$tmp of="$EFIVARFS/$name-$guid" bs=$(stat -c %s $tmp)
rm $tmp
== Loading ACPI SSDTs from configfs ==
This option allows loading of user defined SSDTs from userspace via the configfs
interface. The CONFIG_ACPI_CONFIGFS option must be select and configfs must be
mounted. In the following examples, we assume that configfs has been mounted in
/config.
New tables can be loading by creating new directories in /config/acpi/table/ and
writing the SSDT aml code in the aml attribute:
cd /config/acpi/table
mkdir my_ssdt
cat ~/ssdt.aml > my_ssdt/aml

Upgrading ACPI tables via initrd
================================
What is this about
==================
If the ACPI_TABLE_UPGRADE compile option is true, it is possible to
upgrade the ACPI execution environment that is defined by the ACPI tables
via upgrading the ACPI tables provided by the BIOS with an instrumented,
modified, more recent version one, or installing brand new ACPI tables.
When building initrd with kernel in a single image, option
ACPI_TABLE_OVERRIDE_VIA_BUILTIN_INITRD should also be true for this
feature to work.
For a full list of ACPI tables that can be upgraded/installed, take a look
at the char `*table_sigs[MAX_ACPI_SIGNATURE];` definition in
drivers/acpi/tables.c.
All ACPI tables iasl (Intel's ACPI compiler and disassembler) knows should
be overridable, except:
- ACPI_SIG_RSDP (has a signature of 6 bytes)
- ACPI_SIG_FACS (does not have an ordinary ACPI table header)
Both could get implemented as well.
What is this for
================
Complain to your platform/BIOS vendor if you find a bug which is so severe
that a workaround is not accepted in the Linux kernel. And this facility
allows you to upgrade the buggy tables before your platform/BIOS vendor
releases an upgraded BIOS binary.
This facility can be used by platform/BIOS vendors to provide a Linux
compatible environment without modifying the underlying platform firmware.
This facility also provides a powerful feature to easily debug and test
ACPI BIOS table compatibility with the Linux kernel by modifying old
platform provided ACPI tables or inserting new ACPI tables.
It can and should be enabled in any kernel because there is no functional
change with not instrumented initrds.
How does it work
================
::
# Extract the machine's ACPI tables:
cd /tmp
acpidump >acpidump
acpixtract -a acpidump
# Disassemble, modify and recompile them:
iasl -d *.dat
# For example add this statement into a _PRT (PCI Routing Table) function
# of the DSDT:
Store("HELLO WORLD", debug)
# And increase the OEM Revision. For example, before modification:
DefinitionBlock ("DSDT.aml", "DSDT", 2, "INTEL ", "TEMPLATE", 0x00000000)
# After modification:
DefinitionBlock ("DSDT.aml", "DSDT", 2, "INTEL ", "TEMPLATE", 0x00000001)
iasl -sa dsdt.dsl
# Add the raw ACPI tables to an uncompressed cpio archive.
# They must be put into a /kernel/firmware/acpi directory inside the cpio
# archive. Note that if the table put here matches a platform table
# (similar Table Signature, and similar OEMID, and similar OEM Table ID)
# with a more recent OEM Revision, the platform table will be upgraded by
# this table. If the table put here doesn't match a platform table
# (dissimilar Table Signature, or dissimilar OEMID, or dissimilar OEM Table
# ID), this table will be appended.
mkdir -p kernel/firmware/acpi
cp dsdt.aml kernel/firmware/acpi
# A maximum of "NR_ACPI_INITRD_TABLES (64)" tables are currently allowed
# (see osl.c):
iasl -sa facp.dsl
iasl -sa ssdt1.dsl
cp facp.aml kernel/firmware/acpi
cp ssdt1.aml kernel/firmware/acpi
# The uncompressed cpio archive must be the first. Other, typically
# compressed cpio archives, must be concatenated on top of the uncompressed
# one. Following command creates the uncompressed cpio archive and
# concatenates the original initrd on top:
find kernel | cpio -H newc --create > /boot/instrumented_initrd
cat /boot/initrd >>/boot/instrumented_initrd
# reboot with increased acpi debug level, e.g. boot params:
acpi.debug_level=0x2 acpi.debug_layer=0xFFFFFFFF
# and check your syslog:
[ 1.268089] ACPI: PCI Interrupt Routing Table [\_SB_.PCI0._PRT]
[ 1.272091] [ACPI Debug] String [0x0B] "HELLO WORLD"
iasl is able to disassemble and recompile quite a lot different,
also static ACPI tables.
Where to retrieve userspace tools
=================================
iasl and acpixtract are part of Intel's ACPICA project:
http://acpica.org/
and should be packaged by distributions (for example in the acpica package
on SUSE).
acpidump can be found in Len Browns pmtools:
ftp://kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/lenb/acpi/utils/pmtools/acpidump
This tool is also part of the acpica package on SUSE.
Alternatively, used ACPI tables can be retrieved via sysfs in latest kernels:
/sys/firmware/acpi/tables

The AML Debugger
================
:Copyright: |copy| 2016, Intel Corporation
:Author: Lv Zheng <lv.zheng@intel.com>
This document describes the usage of the AML debugger embedded in the Linux
kernel.
1. Build the debugger
=====================
The following kernel configuration items are required to enable the AML
debugger interface from the Linux kernel::
CONFIG_ACPI_DEBUGGER=y
CONFIG_ACPI_DEBUGGER_USER=m
The userspace utilities can be built from the kernel source tree using
the following commands::
$ cd tools
$ make acpi
The resultant userspace tool binary is then located at::
tools/power/acpi/acpidbg
It can be installed to system directories by running "make install" (as a
sufficiently privileged user).
2. Start the userspace debugger interface
=========================================
After booting the kernel with the debugger built-in, the debugger can be
started by using the following commands::
# mount -t debugfs none /sys/kernel/debug
# modprobe acpi_dbg
# tools/power/acpi/acpidbg
That spawns the interactive AML debugger environment where you can execute
debugger commands.
The commands are documented in the "ACPICA Overview and Programmer Reference"
that can be downloaded from
https://acpica.org/documentation
The detailed debugger commands reference is located in Chapter 12 "ACPICA
Debugger Reference". The "help" command can be used for a quick reference.
3. Stop the userspace debugger interface
========================================
The interactive debugger interface can be closed by pressing Ctrl+C or using
the "quit" or "exit" commands. When finished, unload the module with::
# rmmod acpi_dbg
The module unloading may fail if there is an acpidbg instance running.
4. Run the debugger in a script
===============================
It may be useful to run the AML debugger in a test script. "acpidbg" supports
this in a special "batch" mode. For example, the following command outputs
the entire ACPI namespace::
# acpidbg -b "namespace"

o The MFD cell can specify the ACPI id of the device.
- The children share the parent ACPI handle.
- The MFD cell can specify the ACPI id of the device.
For the first case, the MFD drivers do not need to do anything. The
resulting child platform device will have its ACPI_COMPANION() set to point
to the parent device.

Linux ACPI Custom Control Method How To
=======================================
:Author: Zhang Rui <rui.zhang@intel.com>
Linux supports customizing ACPI control methods at runtime.
Users can use this to:
1. override an existing method which may not work correctly,
or just for debugging purposes.
2. insert a completely new method in order to create a missing
method such as _OFF, _ON, _STA, _INI, etc.
For these cases, it is far simpler to dynamically install a single
control method rather than override the entire DSDT, because kernel
rebuild/reboot is not needed and test result can be got in minutes.
.. note::
- Only ACPI METHOD can be overridden, any other object types like
"Device", "OperationRegion", are not recognized. Methods
declared inside scope operators are also not supported.
- The same ACPI control method can be overridden for many times,
and it's always the latest one that used by Linux/kernel.
- To get the ACPI debug object output (Store (AAAA, Debug)),
please run::
echo 1 > /sys/module/acpi/parameters/aml_debug_output
1. override an existing method
==============================
a) get the ACPI table via ACPI sysfs I/F. e.g. to get the DSDT,
just run "cat /sys/firmware/acpi/tables/DSDT > /tmp/dsdt.dat"
b) disassemble the table by running "iasl -d dsdt.dat".
c) rewrite the ASL code of the method and save it in a new file,
d) package the new file (psr.asl) to an ACPI table format.
Here is an example of a customized \_SB._AC._PSR method::
DefinitionBlock ("", "SSDT", 1, "", "", 0x20080715)
{
Method (\_SB_.AC._PSR, 0, NotSerialized)
{
Store ("In AC _PSR", Debug)
Return (ACON)
}
}
Note that the full pathname of the method in ACPI namespace
should be used.
e) assemble the file to generate the AML code of the method.
e.g. "iasl -vw 6084 psr.asl" (psr.aml is generated as a result)
If parameter "-vw 6084" is not supported by your iASL compiler,
please try a newer version.
f) mount debugfs by "mount -t debugfs none /sys/kernel/debug"
g) override the old method via the debugfs by running
"cat /tmp/psr.aml > /sys/kernel/debug/acpi/custom_method"
2. insert a new method
======================
This is easier than overriding an existing method.
We just need to create the ASL code of the method we want to
insert and then follow the step c) ~ g) in section 1.
3. undo your changes
====================
The "undo" operation is not supported for a new inserted method
right now, i.e. we can not remove a method currently.
For an overridden method, in order to undo your changes, please
save a copy of the method original ASL code in step c) section 1,
and redo step c) ~ g) to override the method with the original one.
.. note:: We can use a kernel with multiple custom ACPI method running,
But each individual write to debugfs can implement a SINGLE
method override. i.e. if we want to insert/override multiple
ACPI methods, we need to redo step c) ~ g) for multiple times.
.. note:: Be aware that root can mis-use this driver to modify arbitrary
memory and gain additional rights, if root's privileges got
restricted (for example if root is not allowed to load additional
modules after boot).

ACPICA Trace Facility
=====================
:Copyright: |copy| 2015, Intel Corporation
:Author: Lv Zheng <lv.zheng@intel.com>
Abstract
========
This document describes the functions and the interfaces of the
method tracing facility.
Functionalities and usage examples
==================================
ACPICA provides method tracing capability. And two functions are
currently implemented using this capability.
Log reducer
-----------
ACPICA subsystem provides debugging outputs when CONFIG_ACPI_DEBUG is
enabled. The debugging messages which are deployed via
ACPI_DEBUG_PRINT() macro can be reduced at 2 levels - per-component
level (known as debug layer, configured via
/sys/module/acpi/parameters/debug_layer) and per-type level (known as
debug level, configured via /sys/module/acpi/parameters/debug_level).
But when the particular layer/level is applied to the control method
evaluations, the quantity of the debugging outputs may still be too
large to be put into the kernel log buffer. The idea thus is worked out
to only enable the particular debug layer/level (normally more detailed)
logs when the control method evaluation is started, and disable the
detailed logging when the control method evaluation is stopped.
The following command examples illustrate the usage of the "log reducer"
functionality:
a. Filter out the debug layer/level matched logs when control methods
are being evaluated::
# cd /sys/module/acpi/parameters
# echo "0xXXXXXXXX" > trace_debug_layer
# echo "0xYYYYYYYY" > trace_debug_level
# echo "enable" > trace_state
b. Filter out the debug layer/level matched logs when the specified
control method is being evaluated::
# cd /sys/module/acpi/parameters
# echo "0xXXXXXXXX" > trace_debug_layer
# echo "0xYYYYYYYY" > trace_debug_level
# echo "\PPPP.AAAA.TTTT.HHHH" > trace_method_name
# echo "method" > /sys/module/acpi/parameters/trace_state
c. Filter out the debug layer/level matched logs when the specified
control method is being evaluated for the first time::
# cd /sys/module/acpi/parameters
# echo "0xXXXXXXXX" > trace_debug_layer
# echo "0xYYYYYYYY" > trace_debug_level
# echo "\PPPP.AAAA.TTTT.HHHH" > trace_method_name
# echo "method-once" > /sys/module/acpi/parameters/trace_state
Where:
0xXXXXXXXX/0xYYYYYYYY
Refer to Documentation/acpi/debug.txt for possible debug layer/level
masking values.
\PPPP.AAAA.TTTT.HHHH
Full path of a control method that can be found in the ACPI namespace.
It needn't be an entry of a control method evaluation.
AML tracer
----------
There are special log entries added by the method tracing facility at
the "trace points" the AML interpreter starts/stops to execute a control
method, or an AML opcode. Note that the format of the log entries are
subject to change::
[ 0.186427] exdebug-0398 ex_trace_point : Method Begin [0xf58394d8:\_SB.PCI0.LPCB.ECOK] execution.

[ 0.187594] exdebug-0398 ex_trace_point : Opcode End [0xf5905f60:One] execution.
[ 0.187789] exdebug-0398 ex_trace_point : Opcode End [0xf5905cc0:LEqual] execution.
[ 0.187980] exdebug-0398 ex_trace_point : Opcode Begin [0xf5905cc0:Return] execution.
[ 0.188146] exdebug-0398 ex_trace_point : Opcode Begin [0xf5905f60:One] execution.
[ 0.188334] exdebug-0398 ex_trace_point : Opcode End [0xf5905f60:One] execution.
[ 0.188524] exdebug-0398 ex_trace_point : Opcode End [0xf5905cc0:Return] execution.
[ 0.188712] exdebug-0398 ex_trace_point : Opcode End [0xf5905c88:If] execution.
[ 0.188903] exdebug-0398 ex_trace_point : Method End [0xf58394d8:\_SB.PCI0.LPCB.ECOK] execution.
Developers can utilize these special log entries to track the AML
interpretion, thus can aid issue debugging and performance tuning. Note
that, as the "AML tracer" logs are implemented via ACPI_DEBUG_PRINT()
macro, CONFIG_ACPI_DEBUG is also required to be enabled for enabling
"AML tracer" logs.
The following command examples illustrate the usage of the "AML tracer"
functionality:
a. Filter out the method start/stop "AML tracer" logs when control
methods are being evaluated::
# cd /sys/module/acpi/parameters
# echo "0x80" > trace_debug_layer
# echo "0x10" > trace_debug_level
# echo "enable" > trace_state
b. Filter out the method start/stop "AML tracer" when the specified
control method is being evaluated::
# cd /sys/module/acpi/parameters
# echo "0x80" > trace_debug_layer

Interface descriptions
======================
All method tracing functions can be configured via ACPI module
parameters that are accessible at /sys/module/acpi/parameters/:
trace_method_name
The full path of the AML method that the user wants to trace.
Note that the full path shouldn't contain the trailing "_"s in its
name segments but may contain "\" to form an absolute path.
trace_debug_layer
The temporary debug_layer used when the tracing feature is enabled.
Using ACPI_EXECUTER (0x80) by default, which is the debug_layer
used to match all "AML tracer" logs.
trace_debug_level
The temporary debug_level used when the tracing feature is enabled.
Using ACPI_LV_TRACE_POINT (0x10) by default, which is the
debug_level used to match all "AML tracer" logs.
trace_state
The status of the tracing feature.
Users can enable/disable this debug tracing feature by executing
the following command::
# echo string > /sys/module/acpi/parameters/trace_state
Where "string" should be one of the following:
"disable"
Disable the method tracing feature.
"enable"
Enable the method tracing feature.
ACPICA debugging messages matching "trace_debug_layer/trace_debug_level"
during any method execution will be logged.
"method"
Enable the method tracing feature.
ACPICA debugging messages matching "trace_debug_layer/trace_debug_level"
during method execution of "trace_method_name" will be logged.
"method-once"
Enable the method tracing feature.
ACPICA debugging messages matching "trace_debug_layer/trace_debug_level"
during method execution of "trace_method_name" will be logged only once.
"opcode"
Enable the method tracing feature.
ACPICA debugging messages matching "trace_debug_layer/trace_debug_level"
during method/opcode execution of "trace_method_name" will be logged.
"opcode-once"
Enable the method tracing feature.
ACPICA debugging messages matching "trace_debug_layer/trace_debug_level"
during method/opcode execution of "trace_method_name" will be logged only
once.
Note that, the difference between the "enable" and other feature
enabling options are:
1. When "enable" is specified, since
"trace_debug_layer/trace_debug_level" shall apply to all control
method evaluations, after configuring "trace_state" to "enable",
"trace_method_name" will be reset to NULL.
2. When "method/opcode" is specified, if
"trace_method_name" is NULL when "trace_state" is configured to
these options, the "trace_debug_layer/trace_debug_level" will
apply to all control method evaluations.

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
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.

the keyboard driver as a key type input event, with proper remap, the

This works for machines covered by case ii) in Section 2. Once the driver
received a notification, it will set the backlight level accordingly. This does
not affect the sending of event to user space, they are always sent to user
space regardless of whether or not the video module controls the backlight level
directly. This behaviour can be controlled through the brightness_switch_enabled
module parameter as documented in admin-guide/kernel-parameters.rst. It is recommended to
disable this behaviour once a GUI environment starts up and wants to have full
control of the backlight level.
