ACPI Definition blocks are implemented using AML which has
a complex grammar making run-time generation of definition
blocks difficult. Dynamic AML is a feature of Dynamic Tables
framework that provides a solution for dynamic generation of
ACPI Definition block tables.
Since, AML bytecode represents complex AML grammar, an AmlLib
library is introduced to assist parsing and traversing of the
AML bytecode at run-time.
The AmlLib library parses a definition block and represents it
as an AML tree. The AML objects, methods and data are represented
as tree nodes. Since the AML data is represented as tree nodes,
it is possible to traverse the tree, locate a node and modify the
node data. The tree can then be serialized to a buffer (that
represents the definition block). This definition block containing
the fixed-up AML code can then be installed as an ACPI Definition
Block table.
Dynamic AML introduces the following techniques:
* AML Fixup
* AML Codegen
* AML Fixup + Codegen
AML Fixup is a technique that involves compiling an ASL template
file to generate AML bytecode. This template AML bytecode can be
parsed at run-time and a fixup code can update the required fields
in the AML template.
AML Codegen employs generating small segments of AML code.
AmlLib provides a rich set of APIs to operate on AML data for AML
Fixup and Codegen.

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)
\

|- {(FldEl0)->(FldEl1)->...)} # Variable Arguments

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.

AML has a complex encoding making dynamic generation of
Definition Block tables difficult.
Dynamic AML generation involves techniques like AML Fixup

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.

Namespace. Example: The AmlFindNode() can be used to locate
a device node in the ACPI namespace using an ASL path as
the search input.

The AML debug print functions enable logging
of the operations on the AML tree and the data
output. The debug logging functionality is
enabled for debug builds when the DEBUG_INFO

AML Fixup and AML Codegen facilitate dynamic generation
of Definition Block tables. The AML byte stream that is
generated is represented in an AML tree. Once the AML
table generation is completed, the AML tree needs to be
serialised for installing as an ACPI table.
The AML serialise interface implements the functionality
to iterate the nodes in the AML tree, collating the AML
bytecode, computing the checksum and writing the AML byte
stream to a buffer that represents the Definition Block
table.

Dynamic AML involves parsing/packing of AML opcode and
data into AML byte streams. The AML stream interface
provides safe buffer management as well as supports
forward and reverse streams. It provides functions to
create, read, write, clone and compare AML streams.

It is often desirable to clone an AML branch/tree
or an AML node. An example of could be to clone
an AML template before fixup so that the original
AML template remains unmodified. Another example
would be replicating a device branch in the AML
tree and fixing up the device information.
To facilitate such scenarios the AmlLib library
provides functions that can be used to clone an
AML branch/tree or an AML node.
