This is a nightmare when trying to work on ACPI related bugs +and a lot bugs got stuck because of that. +Even for people with enough kernel knowledge, building a kernel to try out +things is very time consuming. Also people may have to browse and modify the +ACPI interpreter code to find a possible BIOS bug. With this feature, people +can correct the ACPI tables and try out quickly whether this is the root cause +that needs to get addressed in the kernel. + +This could even ease up testing for BIOS providers who could flush their BIOS +to test, but overriding table via initrd is much easier and quicker. +For example one could prepare different initrds overriding NUMA tables with +different affinity settings. Set up a script, let the machine reboot and +run tests over night and one can get a picture how these settings influence +the Linux kernel and which values are best. + +People can instrument the dynamic ACPI (ASL) code (for example with debug +statements showing up in syslog when the ACPI code is processed, etc.), +to better understand BIOS to OS interfaces, to hunt down ACPI BIOS code related +bugs quickly or to easier develop ACPI based drivers. + +Intstrumenting ACPI code in SSDTs is now much easier. Before, one had to copy +all SSDTs into the DSDT to compile it into the kernel for testing +(because only DSDT could get overridden). That's what the acpi_no_auto_ssdt +boot param is for: the BIOS provided SSDTs are ignored and all have to get +copied into the DSDT, complicated and time consuming. + +Much more use cases, depending on which ACPI parts you are working on... + + +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) +iasl -sa DSDT.dsl +# Add the raw ACPI tables to an uncompressed cpio archive. +# They must be put into /kernel/firmware/acpi/table[0-9].dat files inside the +# cpio archive.
