OperationRegion outside scope

OperationRegion outside scope

[Paulo da Silva]

Hello,

my DSDT has some operation regions defined outside a
scope and when I compile with iasl I see that the size
of the operation region is not considered and is set
to zero. Because of that I get lots of errors during
boot. One of the messages is shown below.
kernel:  exfldio-0143 [54] ex_setup_region       :
Field [CMD_] access width (1 bytes) too large for
region [MNVS] (length 0)
kernel:  exfldio-0155 [54] ex_setup_region       :
Field [CMD_] Base+Offset+Width FC0+0+1 is beyond end
of region [MNVS] (length 0)

The original dsdt is at
http://cern.ch/paulo/dsdt.dsl.orig

Thanks,
Paulo

I guess you forced the compilation of the DSDT, right?

You may try this patch which should allow you to recompile without
errors:

Re: OperationRegion outside scope

[Paulo da Silva]

Hi,

  these solutions solves the errors for the
compilation. However, when using the iasl you will see
in the compiled file that the operation regions that
are outside any scope will have zero length. And this
causes different errors.
  I put two files on the web.
  1) http://cern.ch/paulo/before.log
     this is the message log that is produced by using
the default dsdt that comes with my bios.
  2) http://cern.ch/paulo/after.log
     this is the message log that is produce after I
introduce the changes needed for compiling the code.

  In the first one the errors come from the operation
regions that prevented me from compiling the code,
while the second file shows errors coming because the
iasl compiler puts size equal to zero for operation
regions that are outside a scope.

   I don't know if all operation regions should be put
inside a scope or this is a problem with the iasl
compiler.

Thank you,
Paulo da Silva

I would say this is a bug in iasl or else a *lot* of DSDT are buggy as
well though never got that kind of report before...

Which iasl version are you using?  Could you post to me the DSDT.aml produced?

I can reproduce this trouble with current iasl, but not with the
20040427.  I will send you (privately due to the size) the iasl I'm using.

Re: OperationRegion outside scope

[Paulo da Silva]

Hello,

  the version I was using was 20040715. I've tryed
with version 20040427 and the problem seems to have
disapperead. Looking at the compiled file it's
possible to see that the operation regions don't have
zero size anymore. I will try later today to reboot my
computer with the file compiled with version 20040427
to see if everything goes ok. I will post the results
later.
  Thank you for your answer.

Regards,
Paulo

Re: OperationRegion outside scope

[Paulo da Silva]

Hi,

  I've tryed my AML file compiled with version
20040427 of iasl and it seems to work fine. So I think
the version 20040715 of iasl doesn't seem to handle
operation regions that are outside any scope.

RE: OperationRegion outside scope

[Moore, Robert]

Version 20040715 of the compiler inadvertently truncates some constants
that appear at the module level.

There are newer versions of the compiler that fix this problem.
However, the web site is still under update.
