AML Codegen is a Dynamic AML technique that facilitates
generation of small segments of AML code. The AML code
generated using AML Codegen is represented as nodes in
the AML Tree.
Some examples where AML Codegen can be used are:
- AML Codegen APIs can be used to generate a simple
AML tree.
- An AML template can be parsed to create an AML
tree. This AML Tree can be searched to locate a
node that needs updating. The AML Codegen APIs
can be used to attach new AML nodes.
- A combination of AML Fixup and AML Codegen can
be used to generate an AML tree.
The AML tree can then be serialised as a Definition
Block table.
Following AML Codegen APIs are implemented:
- AmlCodeGenDefinitionBlock()
- AmlCodeGenScope()
- AmlCodeGenNameString()
- AmlCodeGenNameInteger()
- AmlCodeGenDevice()
These AML Codegen APIs in combination with AML Resource
Data Codegen APIs can be used to generate a simple AML
tree.

The AML language allows defining field lists in a Definition
Block. Although Dynamic AML does not provide interfaces to
modify Field Lists; an AML template code may contain Field
lists and the AML parser must be capable of parsing and
representing the Field lists in the AML tree.
The AML parser creates an Object node that represents the
'Field Node'. The AML Field list parser creates an object
node for each field element parsed in the AML byte stream,
and adds them to the variable list of arguments of the
'Field Node'.
Nodes that can have a field list are referred as 'Field
nodes'. They have the AML_HAS_FIELD_LIST attribute set in
the AML encoding.
According to the ACPI 6.3 specification, s20.2.5.2 "Named
Objects Encoding", field elements can be:
- NamedField := NameSeg PkgLength;
- ReservedField := 0x00 PkgLength;
- AccessField := 0x01 AccessType AccessAttrib;
- ConnectField := <0x02 NameString> | <0x02 BufferData>;
- ExtendedAccessField := 0x03 AccessType ExtendedAccessAttrib
AccessLength.
A small set of opcodes describes the field elements. They are
referred as field opcodes. An AML_BYTE_ENCODING table has been
created for field OpCodes.
Field elements:
- don't have a SubOpCode;
- have at most 3 fixed arguments (as opposed to 6 for standard
AML objects);
- don't have a variable list of arguments;
- only the NamedField field element is part of the AML namespace.
ConnectField's BufferData is a buffer node containing a single
resource data element.
NamedField field elements do not have an AML OpCode. NameSeg
starts with a Char type and can thus be differentiated from the
Opcodes for other fields.
A pseudo OpCode has been created to simplify the parser.
Following is a representation of a field node in an AML tree:
(FieldNode)
\
|- [0][1][3] # Fixed Arguments
|- {(FldEl0)->(FldEl1)->...)} # Variable Arguments
Where FldEl[n] is one of NamedField, ReservedField, AccessField,
ConnectField, ExtendedAccessField.

The AML language allows a Definition Block to implement
methods that an Operating System can invoke at runtime.
Although Dynamic AML does not provide interfaces to
modify AML methods; an AML template code may contain
methods and/or method invocations.
Method definitions have an opcode defined in the AML
encoding and can be easily parsed. However, the language
does not define an opcode for method invocation. Method
invocations are represented as a NameString followed by
the arguments to the method. This poses a significant
challenge for the AML parser as it has to determine if
a NameString appearing in the AML byte stream is a method
invocation and if it is a method invocation, then how
many arguments follow.
This also means the Method definition must occur prior to
the method invocation in the AML byte stream. This is a
hard requirement for the AML parser.
The AML method parser maintains a NameSpaceRefList that
keeps a track of every namespace node and its raw AML
absolute path. The AmlIsMethodInvocation() searches the
NameSpaceRefList to determine if a NameString matches
a Method definition.
A pseudo opcode has been defined in the AML encoding to
represent the Method invocation in the AML tree.
The AML encoding for method invocations in the ACPI
specification 6.3 is:
MethodInvocation := NameString TermArgList
The AmlLib library redefines this as:
MethodInvocation := MethodInvocationOp NameString
ArgumentCount TermArgList
ArgumentCount := ByteData
Where MethodInvocationOp is the pseudo opcode and
ArgumentCount is the number of arguments passed to
the method.
NOTE:
The AmlLib library's definition for a method
invocation only applies to the representation
of method invocation node in the AML tree.
When computing the size of a tree or serialising
it, the additional data is not taken into account
i.e. the MethodInvocationOp and the ArgumentCount
are stripped before serialising.
Method invocation nodes have the AML_METHOD_INVOVATION
attribute set in the AmlLib library's representation of
the AML encoding.

Both ASL and AML are declarative language. The ASL code
is compiled to AML bytecode. The AML bytecode is processed
by the ACPI AML interpreter that runs as part of an OS.
AML has a complex encoding making dynamic generation of
Definition Block tables difficult.
Dynamic AML generation involves techniques like AML Fixup
and AML Codegen, both requiring parsing of AML bytecode.
The AML parser is a module that parses an AML byte stream
and represents it as an AML tree. Representing the AML
bytecode as an AML tree is key to reducing the complexity
and enabling Dynamic AML generation.
In an AML Tree each AML statement (that also corresponds
to an ASL statement) is represented as an 'Object Node'.
Each Object Node has an OpCode and up to 6 Fixed Arguments
followed by a list of Variable Arguments.
(ObjectNode)
\
|- [0][1][2][3][4][5] # Fixed Arguments
|- {(VarArg1)->(VarArg2)->...N} # Variable Arguments
A Fixed Argument or Variable Argument can be either an
Object Node or a Data Node.
A 'Data Node' consists of a data buffer.
A 'Root Node' is a special type of Object Node that does
not have an Opcode or Fixed Arguments. It only has a list
of Variable Arguments. The Root Node is at the top of the
AML tree and contains the Definition Block Header.
The AML parser uses the 'AML Encoding' to parse an AML byte
stream and represents it as an AML Tree. Representing in the
form of an AML tree simplifies modification, addition and
removal of the tree nodes. The modified tree can then be
serialised to a buffer representing a Definition Block table.

The VS2017 compiler reports 'warning C4267: '=': conversion from
'size_t' to 'UINT16', possible loss of data'.
The sizeof() operator is used to calculate the size of the
GT Block structure. The length field in the GT Block structure
is 16-bit wide. Since the return type of sizeof() operator
is size_t the VS2017 compiler reports the above warning.
To fix the warning, an explicit type cast is added. An additional
check is also performed to ensure that the calculated GT Block
length does not exceed MAX_UINT16.

The length field for the Processor Hierarchy node structure is
8-bit wide while the number of private resource field is 32-bit
wide. Therefore, the GetProcHierarchyNodeSize() returns the size
as a 32-bit value.
The VS2017 compiler reports 'warning C4244: '=': conversion from
'UINT32' to 'UINT8', possible loss of data' while assigning the
length field of the Processor Hierarchy node structure.
To fix this, a type cast is added. In addition, there is a check
to ensure that the Processor Hierarchy node size does not exceed

The VS2017 compiler reports 'warning C4244: '=': conversion
from 'UINT16' to 'UINT8', possible loss of data' for the
SPCR InterfaceType field assignment.
The SPCR InterfaceType field uses the same encoding as that
of the DBG2 table Port Subtype field. However SPCR.InterfaceType
is 8-bit while the Port Subtype field in DBG2 table is 16-bit.
Since the Configuration Manager represents the Serial port
information using the struct CM_ARM_SERIAL_PORT_INFO, the
PortSubtype member in this struct is 16-bit.
To fix the warning an explicit type case is added. A validation
is also added to ensure that the Serial Port Subtype value
provided by the Configuration Manager is within the 8-bit
range (less than 256).

The table generator supports ACPI 6.3, SRAT table revision 3.
The ACPI and PCI device handles of the Generic Initiator
Affinity structures are represented using tokens. The
generator invokes the configuration manager protocol
interfaces and requests for objects referenced by tokens

A Table generator is a component that implements the logic
for building a firmware table. This is typically implemented
as a library and registers itself with a table factory.
Table generators are further classified based on type of table
it generates, a namespace that signifies if the implementation
is standard or an OEM specific implementation and a table Id.
This patch introduces the definitions used for describing a
table generator.

The dynamic tables framework is designed to generate standardised
firmware tables that describe the hardware information at
run-time. A goal of standardised firmware is to have a common
firmware for a platform capable of booting both Windows and Linux
operating systems.
Traditionally the firmware tables are handcrafted using ACPI
Source Language (ASL), Table Definition Language (TDL) and
C-code. This approach can be error prone and involves time
consuming debugging.
In addition, it may be desirable to configure platform hardware
at runtime such as: configuring the number of cores available
for use by the OS, or turning SoC features ON or OFF.
This patch introduces Dynamic Tables Framework which also provides
mechanisms to reduce the amount of effort required in porting
firmware to new platforms. A more detailed description is in
the Readme.md file.
