The Generic ACPI for Arm Components 1.0 Platform Design
Document, s2.6.4 "ASL code examples" provides information
to describe an Arm CoreLink CMN-600 Coherent Mesh Network
using an ASL definition block table.
The SSDT CMN-600 Table Generator uses the Configuration
Manager protocol to obtain the following information about
the CMN-600 device on the platform:
- the PERIPHBASE address location and address range;
- the ROOTNODEBASE address location;
- the number of Debug and Trace Controller (DTC)
and their respective interrupt number;
The CMN-600 mesh is described using the CM_ARM_CMN_600_INFO
and CM_ARM_EXTENDED_INTERRUPT structures in the Configuration
Manager.
The SSDT CMN-600 Table generator:
- gets the CMN-600 hardware information
from the configuration manager.
- uses the AmlLib interfaces to parse the AML
template BLOB and construct an AML tree.
- uses the AmlLib to update:
- the "_UID" value;
- the address location and range of the PERIPHBASE;
- the address location of the ROOTNODEBASE;
- the number of Debug and Trace Controller (DTC)
and their respective interrupt number;
- serializes the AML tree to an output buffer.
This output buffer contains the fixed-up AML code,
which is then installed as an ACPI SSDT table.

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)
\
|- [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.

Dynamic AML generation involves techniques like AML Fixup

In an AML Tree each AML statement (that also corresponds

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.

AML fixup involves patching small sections of a template AML
code at runtime, while AML Codegen provides APIs to generate
small sections of AML code at runtime. A combination of
Fixup and Codegen can also be used.
AML has a complex grammar. To simplify the generation of
AML tables, Dynamic AML introduces AmlLib that provides a
rich set of APIs for parsing, traversing, fixup, codegen
and serialisation of AML byte code.
This patch introduces the definitions used by AmlLib.

ACPI Definition block (e.g. DSDT or SSDT) tables are implemented
using ACPI source language (ASL) and compiled to ACPI Machine
language (AML). The AML bytecode runs in the OS ACPI Interpreter.
AML has a complex grammar which makes generation of ACPI Definition
block tables difficult.
Dynamic Tables Framework introduces a new feature 'Dynamic AML' that
aims at simplifying the generation of ACPI Definition block tables.
Dynamic AML provides the following techniques for generating ACPI
Definition blocks.
- AML Fixup
- AML Codegen
- AML Fixup + Codegen
AML Fixup involves patching an AML template code at runtime and then
installing the fixed-up AML code as an ACPI table.
AML Codegen provides APIs to generate small segments of AML code that
can be serialised for installation as an ACPI table.
AML Fixup + Codegen is an approach where parts of an AML template are
fixed-up at runtime as well as the AML Codegen APIs are used to insert
small segments of AML code in the AML template. This AML code is then
serialised for installation as an ACPI table.
To assist Dynamic AML generation an AmlLib library is introduced that
provides a rich set of APIs that can be used to parse, traverse, fixup,
codegen and serialise AML definition blocks.

If MDEPKG_NDEBUG is defined, then debug and assert related
macros wrapped by it are mapped to NULL implementations.
Therefore, add MDEPKG_NDEBUG flags for release builds of
DynamicTablesPkg.

The EdkII BaseTools have been updated to facilitate the
generation of C file containing AML data using the AmlToC
script. The build system follows the following sequence
for an ASL file compilation:
- The ASL file is preprocessed using the C preprocessor
- The Trim utility prunes the preprocessed file to removed
unwanted data.
- This file is compiled using an ASL compiler to generate
an AML file.
- The AmlToC python script reads the AML data and generates
a C file with an array containing the AML data.
- This C file containing a unique symbol name for the AML
data array is then compiled with the firmware module.
This removes the dependency on the ACPICA iASL compiler's
"-tc" option which achieved the same effect but was less
portable. Therefore, remove the "-tc" option from the ASL
flags as this option is only been supported by the ACPICA
iASL compiler.

On enabling the /analyse option the VS2017 compiler
reports: warning C6001: Using uninitialized memory.
This warning is reported for the Status variable in
AddGenericInitiatorAffinity() as it is not initialised
to a default value. This condition is only valid if
GenInitAffCount is equal to 0. Since GenInitAffCount
is already checked in BuildSratTable() this condition
can never happen.
The value of the Status variable is returned in
failure cases from appropriate locations in
AddGenericInitiatorAffinity(). The only case
where Status value is being used un-initialised
is the return statement at the end of
AddGenericInitiatorAffinity().
Therefore, to fix this issue EFI_SUCCESS can be
safely returned instead of returning the Status
variable at the end of the function.
