[ACPI] ACPICA 20050114 from Bob Moore
Added 2005 copyright to all ACPICA files. Fixed an issue with the String-to-Buffer conversion code where the string null terminator was not included in the buffer after conversion, but there is existing ASL that assumes the string null terminator is included. This is the root of the ACPI_AML_BUFFER_LIMIT regression. This problem was introduced in the previous version when the code was updated to correctly set the converted buffer size as per the ACPI specification. The ACPI spec is ambiguous and will be updated to specify that the null terminator must be included in the converted buffer. This also affects the ToBuffer() ASL operator. Fixed a problem with the Mid() ASL/AML operator where it did not work correctly on Buffer objects. Newly created sub-buffers were not being marked as initialized. Fixed a problem in acpi_tb_find_table where incorrect string compares were performed on the oem_id and oem_table_d table header fields. These fields are not null terminated, so strncmp is now used instead of strcmp. Implemented a restriction on the Store() ASL/AML operator to align the behavior with the ACPI specification. Previously, any object could be used as the source operand. Now, the only objects that may be used are Integers, Buffers, Strings, Packages, Object References, and DDB Handles. As acpi_gbl_enable_interpreter_slack is FALSE by default, "acpi=strict" is needed to enable this check. Enhanced the optional "implicit return" support to allow an implicit return value from methods that are invoked externally via the AcpiEvaluateObject interface. This enables implicit returns from the _STA and _INI methods, for example. Changed the Revision() ASL/AML operator to return the current version of the AML interpreter, in the YYYYMMDD format. Previously, it incorrectly returned the supported ACPI version (This is the function of the _REV method). Updated the _REV predefined method to return the currently supported version of ACPI, now 3.
