      [ACPI] ACPICA 20050125 from Bob Moore · 2a539154
      Len Brown authored
      Fixed a recently introduced problem with the Global
      Lock where the underlying semaphore was not created.
      This problem was introduced in version 20050114, and
      caused an AE_AML_NO_OPERAND exception during an Acquire()
      operation on _GL.
      
      The local object cache is now optional, and is disabled
      by default.  #define ACPI_ENABLE_OBJECT_CACHE to enable
      the local cache.
      
      Fixed an issue in the internal function
      acpi_ut_evaluate_object() concerning the optional "implicit
      return" support where an error was returned if no return
      object was expected, but one was implicitly returned. AE_OK
      is now returned in this case and the implicitly returned
      object is deleted.  acpi_ut_evaluate_object() is only
      occasionally used, and only to execute reserved methods
      such as _STA and _INI where the return type is known
      up front.
      
      Fixed a few issues with the internal convert-to-integer
      code. It now returns an error if an attempt is made to
      convert a null string, a string of only blanks/tabs, or a
      zero-length buffer. This affects both implicit conversion
      and explicit conversion via the ToInteger() operator.
      
      The internal debug code in acpi_ut_acquire_mutex()
      has been commented out. It is not needed for normal
      operation and should increase the performance of the entire
      subsystem. The code remains in case it is needed for debug
      purposes again.

      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.

      of the check being called. This means bus mastering activity
      is assumed if bm_check isn't called; and multiple calls during
      one jiffy will be |='ed.
