[PATCH 0/5] ACPI / sysfs: Cleanup sysfs table handling code

[Lv Zheng]

There are issues in sysfs table handling code:
1. It cannot handle table loaded by LoadTable opcode executed after
   acpi_sysfs_init();
2. It's signature handling code is not correct.

This patchset fixes these issues.

  ACPICA: Tables: Add new table events indicating table
    installation/uninstallation
  ACPI / sysfs: Fix an issue for LoadTable opcode

[PATCH 1/5] ACPICA: Tables: Remove acpi_tb_install_fixed_table()

[Lv Zheng]

acpi_tb_install_fixed_table() is now redundant as we've removed the fixed
table indexing mechanism. This patch cleans up the code accordingly.
No functional change. Lv Zheng.

[PATCH 3/5] ACPICA: Tables: Add new table events indicating table installation/uninstallation

This patch adds 2 new table events to indicate table

Currently, as ACPICA never uninstalls tables, this patch thus only add
table handler invocation for the table installation event. Lv Zheng.

[PATCH 4/5] ACPI / sysfs: Fix an issue for LoadTable opcode

[Lv Zheng]

OEM tables can be installed via RSDT/XSDT, in this case, they have already
been created under /sys/firmware/acpi/tables.

For this kind of tables, normally LoadTable opcode will be executed to load
them. If LoadTable opcode is executed after acpi_sysfs_init(),
acpi_sysfs_table_handler() will be invoked, thus a redundant table file
will be created under /sys/firmware/acpi/tables/dynamic. Then running
"acpidump" on such platform results in an error.

[Lv Zheng]

This is a cleanup to covert sysfs signature handling code using ACPICA

Additional filename attribute is added in order to handle both BE/LE name

No, they are fixing an urgent user reported bug.
So I posted them for the reporters.
We can wait until PATCH 1-3 merged in the ACPICA upstream.

[PATCH v2 0/3] ACPI / sysfs: Cleanup sysfs table handling code

[Lv Zheng]

There are issues in sysfs table handling code:
1. It cannot handle table loaded by LoadTable opcode executed after
   acpi_sysfs_init();
2. Its signature handling code is not correct.
This patchset fixes these issues.

This patchset also contains a regression fix, fixing a mistake caused in
ACPICA upstream due to a rebase problem, the wrong commit is released in
the ACPICA 20160831 release cycle.

[PATCH v2 2/3] ACPI / sysfs: Fix an issue for LoadTable opcode

[Lv Zheng]

OEM tables can be installed via RSDT/XSDT, in this case, they have already
been created under /sys/firmware/acpi/tables.

For this kind of tables, normally LoadTable opcode will be executed to load
them. If LoadTable opcode is executed after acpi_sysfs_init(),
acpi_sysfs_table_handler() will be invoked, thus a redundant table file
will be created under /sys/firmware/acpi/tables/dynamic. Then running
"acpidump" on such platform results in an error, complaining blank empty
table (see Link 1 below).

The bug can be reproduced by customizing an OEM1 table, allowing it to be
overridden via 'table_sigs' (drivers/acpi/tables.c), adding the following
code to the customized DSDT to load it:
  Name (OEMH, Zero)
  Name (OEMF, One)
  If (LEqual (OEMF, One)) {
      Store (LoadTable ("OEM1", "Intel", "Test"), OEMH)
      Store (Zero, OEMF)
  }
In order to make sure that the OEM1 table is installed after
acpi_sysfs_init(), acpi_sysfs_init() can be moved before invoking
acpi_load_tables(). Then the following command execution result can be
seen:
 # acpidump > acpidump.txt
 Could not read table header: /sysfs/firmware/acpi/tables/dynamic/OEM12
 Could not get ACPI table at index 17, AE_BAD_HEADER

[PATCH v2 3/3] ACPI / sysfs: Update sysfs signature handling code

[Lv Zheng]

This patch cleans up sysfs table signature handling code:
1. Convert the signature handling code to use the ACPICA APIs in order to
   be benefit from the future improvements of the APIs;
2. Add 'filename' attribute in order to handle both BE/LE name tags;
3. Add instance check in order to avoid the possible buffer overflow
   occurred to the table file name.
