question of appropriateness

question of appropriateness

[James Sparenberg]

All,

   Is this the correct list to receive some guidance on fixing a very
badly broken dsdt table for my laptop (37 errors 1 warning when trying
to compile it.) or should I use another list? 


James

Ok Laptop in question is an Acer Aspire 3000 which other than acpi
hardware is 100% (nice feeling)  Rather than put up all of the errors
I'll break them into 3 groups.

1.  1094 error (which I've a feeling if I fix others will follow) of
which there are 3 types. 

      dsdt.dsl   743:                     0x0100, 0x00,,)
      Error    1094 -                                   ^ Missing
ResourceSource string (required)

      dsdt.dsl   750:                     , AddressRangeMemory,
TypeStatic)
      Error    1094 -            Missing ResourceSource string
(required) ^

The second one I have about 20 of .... each time the Add........ line
appears so one fix style should get me.

2.  The other errors I'm not finding docs on are related to PPC 

      dsdt.dsl  2506:                             If (LNot (LEqual
(\_PR.CPU0._PPC, 0x00)))
      Error    1022 -                                      Object does
not exist ^               (\_PR.CPU0._PPC)

      dsdt.dsl  2508:                                 Store (0x00,
\_PR.CPU0._PPC)
      Error    1022 -                                     Object does
not exist ^  (\_PR.CPU0._PPC)

      dsdt.dsl  2516:                             If (LLess
(\_PR.CPU0._PPC, Local1))
      Error    1022 -                               Object does not
exist ^  (\_PR.CPU0._PPC)

There are about 10 of these.    I'd appreciate any tips/pointers/FM's
etc any one here can give.  I can't find any evidence of an ECTC on this
one but then again I've just made the decision to dive into this so I'm
in the process of learning where everything is.  Interesting side note.
WinXP on this box (keeping it for the warranty grrrr) also has troubles
with aspects of this DSDT as well.

I suspect your iasl is broken somehow: a ResourceSource string is optional.

This node is likely defined under another ACPI table called SSDT.
Please get ACPI spec from www.acpi.info but only if you are curious
about SSDT and the like..

I will check this but I need a full ACPI dump.

Could you please send a web link or, if you can not, send to me
privately the output from acpidmp after doing something like that:

wget ftp://ftp.kernel.org//pub/linux/kernel/people/lenb/acpi/utils/pmtools-20031210.tar.bz2
tar xjvfp pmtools-20031210.tar.bz2
cd pmtools-20031210/acpidmp
make
sudo ./acpidmp > acpidmp.out
bzip2 acpidmp.out 

I will also check if I'm correct with point 1.

Cheers,

Bruce,  

   First thanks for the offer of help and yes I'm starting to did into
the spec.  Shorter read than the LSB though not by much *grin*

I sent the outputs asked for via a direct mail as you asked.  But I
didn't want to post those links into a forum than gets publicly
archived.  If anyone else wants the data I'll be glad to let them see it
as well.  

The reason for starting this endevor is a set of acpi related error
messages that fill up my logs (at the rate of about 1 every 2 seconds) 

    ACPI-0352: *** Error: Looking up [Z007] in namespace, AE_NOT_FOUND
search_node cbec2e20 start_node cbec2e20 return_node 00000000
    ACPI-1138: *** Error: Method execution failed [\_SB_.BAT1._BST]
(Node cbec2d20), AE_NOT_FOUND


I've noticed 2 rather interesting things ...

1.  Windows is only slightly better on power management with this DSDT
than Linux.  
2.  This DSDT does have the "Windows Only" settings in it.  Surprisingly
it doesn't have an entry for WindowsXP.   (I've a feeling somebody cut
and pasted an older DSDT.)

I did file a bug so to speak with Acer a prompt "Thank you for the
information we are looking into the matter type letter", but somehow it
did have a feel about it that it did raise and eyebrow so maybe they can
help sometime in the next 6 months to a year.  *grin*

James

Again that one? Grrr.

>From your acpi dump, the dsdt compile without the first error, so I was
pretty right to think that your iasl is broken somehow.

In order to get rid off the _PPC things, I checked that the _PPC thing
was in a SSDT via something like this:

../pmtools/acpidmp/acpixtract SSDT < acpidmp.out > ssdt

Then:
iasl -d ssdt
in order to decompile it to ASL.

So you should not worry about those \_PR.CPU0._PPC (for example) by
defining an external one (see diff below).

Lastly, for the Z007 horror, replace them with Zero or Ones (or any
other integer values).

But I'm wondering what iasl are you using?  It seems totally broken
to me.

Actually I am wrong here.  Later iasl (20050513) is now more
restrictive.  When the ResourceSourceIndex exist, then ResourceSource
must exist.

2 solutions if you want to compile:
1- patch iasl in order to restore old behaviour (but this is out of
spec somehow)
or
2- eliminate all the ResourceSourceIndex when there is no ResourceSource.

For point 2, here is an incremental patch to your asl:

Bruno,

    You sir are a genius!.... combining the two patches + another minor
fix  (WAK_1 not having Return(Package(0x02){0x00, 0x00}), and I am now
running at 100% of expected.    Additional things like suspend etc need
tweaking in the script arena but not in the DSDT.  

   Other than submitting this DSDT to the wiki at acpi.sourceforge.net
for others to use is there anywhere else that I should submit it.  (Note
it compiled without errors or warnings.)  Thanks again. Now to do some
reading so that I can fully understand just what it is you did.

acer aspire 3000 after a week. ACPI report.

[James Sparenberg]

To jump back in on my original thread (with a new title.) After a week
on the new DSDT all seemed to go well (running it as an addition to my
initrd without any problem at all)  I moved on to the next level.
Adding RAM.  This turned out to be a big mistake.  

ACPI: PCI Interrupt Routing Table [\_SB_.PCI0._PRT]
ACPI: Embedded Controller [EC0] (gpe 25)
    ACPI-0405: *** Error: Handler for [SystemMemory] returned
AE_NO_MEMORY
    ACPI-1138: *** Error: Method execution failed
[\_SB_.PCI0.LPCB.EC0_._REG] (Node c13f6e00), AE_NO_MEMORY

Is the related dmesg error.    With the new ram and DSDT ... nothing
works right that is associated with ACPI .... sound network therm fan
and bat are all messed up.  However the box does run better *grin* and
the ram is correctly detected.  (and matches the type the box requires
pc2700 200pin) 

If I drop the new DSDT table and boot .... I get a box with no battery
detection, Everything else works.  

I then tried just applying the patch I got from Bruno ... not related to
the over strict nature of the new compiler, and also applying the
compiler patch.  

This compiled and runs in exactly the same manor as the full on version.
So no change there.    In the dsdt there are 3 lines related to system
memory. But only one connected with \_SB as in the dmesg error.

Scope (\_SB)
        {
            Name (OSTB, Ones)
            OperationRegion (OSTY, SystemMemory, 0x0BEFADE4, 0x00000001)
            Field (OSTY, AnyAcc, NoLock, Preserve)
            {
                TPOS,   8
            }

So my question is should  0x0BEFADE4  be changed to 0x0BF395E4  or
should I go all the way (My max ram is 2G on this box) 0x7754D7E4  so
that in the future I don't have to adjust, or is it likely that I would
be best off adjusting it to match ram.  

The other chance... is that I'm so totally off base I'm lost *grin*

Assuming you have a diff of the "originial" and the "fixed" DSDT, just
apply this diff to the "broken" DSDT you get from BIOS after upgrading
the RAM. The BIOS changes values in the DSDT depending on BIOS settings,
RAM size etc.pp and you always have to adopt your patched DSDT to those
changed settings. This is why it is such a pain in the ass when vendors
ship broken DSDTs: it is not a "fix it once and for all" but a "fix it
everytime you change your setup" scenario :-(

At least this is how i understood the issue.
Good luck.
