Abstract:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The Linux ACPI subsystem converts ACPI namespace objects into a Linux
|
||||||
|
device tree under the /sys/devices/LNXSYSTEM:00 and updates it upon
|
||||||
|
receiving ACPI hotplug notification events. For each device object in this
|
||||||
|
hierarchy there is a corresponding symbolic link in the
|
||||||
|
/sys/bus/acpi/devices.
|
||||||
|
This document illustrates the structure of the ACPI device tree.

1. ACPI Definition Blocks
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The ACPI firmware sets up RSDP (Root System Description Pointer) in the
|
||||||
|
system memory address space pointing to the XSDT (Extended System
|
||||||
|
Description Table). The XSDT always points to the FADT (Fixed ACPI
|
||||||
|
Description Table) using its first entry, the data within the FADT
|
||||||
|
includes various fixed-length entries that describe fixed ACPI features
|
||||||
|
of the hardware. The FADT contains a pointer to the DSDT
|
||||||
|
(Differentiated System Descripition Table). The XSDT also contains
|
||||||
|
entries pointing to possibly multiple SSDTs (Secondary System
|
||||||
|
Description Table).
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The DSDT and SSDT data is organized in data structures called definition
|
||||||
|
blocks that contain definitions of various objects, including ACPI
|
||||||
|
control methods, encoded in AML (ACPI Machine Language). The data block
|
||||||
|
of the DSDT along with the contents of SSDTs represents a hierarchical
|
||||||
|
data structure called the ACPI namespace whose topology reflects the
|
||||||
|
structure of the underlying hardware platform.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The relationships between ACPI System Definition Tables described above
|
||||||
|
are illustrated in the following diagram.

|
NOTE: RSDP can also contain a pointer to the RSDT (Root System
|
||||||
|
Description Table). Platforms provide RSDT to enable
|
||||||
|
compatibility with ACPI 1.0 operating systems. The OS is expected
|
||||||
|
to use XSDT, if present.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
2. Example ACPI Namespace
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
All definition blocks are loaded into a single namespace. The namespace
|
||||||
|
is a hierarchy of objects identified by names and paths.
|
||||||
|
The following naming conventions apply to object names in the ACPI
|
||||||
|
namespace:
|
||||||
|
1. All names are 32 bits long.
|
||||||
|
2. The first byte of a name must be one of 'A' - 'Z', '_'.
|
||||||
|
3. Each of the remaining bytes of a name must be one of 'A' - 'Z', '0'
|
||||||
|
- '9', '_'.
|
||||||
|
4. Names starting with '_' are reserved by the ACPI specification.
|
||||||
|
5. The '\' symbol represents the root of the namespace (i.e. names
|
||||||
|
prepended with '\' are relative to the namespace root).
|
||||||
|
6. The '^' symbol represents the parent of the current namespace node
|
||||||
|
(i.e. names prepended with '^' are relative to the parent of the
|
||||||
|
current namespace node).
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The figure below shows an example ACPI namespace.

3. Linux ACPI Device Objects
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The Linux kernel's core ACPI subsystem creates struct acpi_device
|
||||||
|
objects for ACPI namespace objects representing devices, power resources
|
||||||
|
processors, thermal zones. Those objects are exported to user space via
|
||||||
|
sysfs as directories in the subtree under /sys/devices/LNXSYSTM:00. The
|
||||||
|
format of their names is <bus_id:instance>, where 'bus_id' refers to the
|
||||||
|
ACPI namespace representation of the given object and 'instance' is used
|
||||||
|
for distinguishing different object of the same 'bus_id' (it is
|
||||||
|
two-digit decimal representation of an unsigned integer).
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The value of 'bus_id' depends on the type of the object whose name it is
|
||||||
|
part of as listed in the table below.
|
||||||

|
||||||

Table 1. ACPI Namespace Objects Mapping
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The following rules apply when creating struct acpi_device objects on
|
||||||
|
the basis of the contents of ACPI System Description Tables (as
|
||||||
|
indicated by the letter in the first column and the notation in the
|
||||||
|
second column of the table above):
|
||||||
|
N:
|
||||||
|
The object's source is an ACPI namespace node (as indicated by the
|
||||||
|
named object's type in the second column). In that case the object's
|
||||||
|
directory in sysfs will contain the 'path' attribute whose value is
|
||||||
|
the full path to the node from the namespace root.
|
||||||
|
struct acpi_device objects are created for the ACPI namespace nodes
|
||||||
|
whose _STA control methods return PRESENT or FUNCTIONING. The power
|
||||||
|
resource nodes or nodes without _STA are assumed to be both PRESENT
|
||||||
|
and FUNCTIONING.
|
||||||
|
F:
|
||||||
|
The struct acpi_device object is created for a fixed hardware
|
||||||
|
feature (as indicated by the fixed feature flag's name in the second
|
||||||
|
column), so its sysfs directory will not contain the 'path'
|
||||||
|
attribute.
|
||||||
|
M:
|
||||||
|
The struct acpi_device object is created for an ACPI namespace node
|
||||||
|
with specific control methods (as indicated by the ACPI defined
|
||||||
|
device's type in the second column). The 'path' attribute containing
|
||||||
|
its namespace path will be present in its sysfs directory. For
|
||||||
|
example, if the _BCL method is present for an ACPI namespace node, a
|
||||||
|
struct acpi_device object with LNXVIDEO 'bus_id' will be created for
|
||||||
|
it.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The third column of the above table indicates which ACPI System
|
||||||
|
Description Tables contain information used for the creation of the
|
||||||
|
struct acpi_device objects represented by the given row (xSDT means DSDT
|
||||||
|
or SSDT).
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The forth column of the above table indicates the 'bus_id' generation
|
||||||
|
rule of the struct acpi_device object:
|
||||||
|
_HID:
|
||||||
|
_HID in the last column of the table means that the object's bus_id
|
||||||
|
is derived from the _HID/_CID identification objects present under
|
||||||
|
the corresponding ACPI namespace node. The object's sysfs directory
|
||||||
|
will then contain the 'hid' and 'modalias' attributes that can be
|
||||||
|
used to retrieve the _HID and _CIDs of that object.
|
||||||
|
LNXxxxxx:
|
||||||
|
The 'modalias' attribute is also present for struct acpi_device
|
||||||
|
objects having bus_id of the "LNXxxxxx" form (pseudo devices), in
|
||||||
|
which cases it contains the bus_id string itself.
|
||||||
|
device:
|
||||||
|
'device' in the last column of the table indicates that the object's
|
||||||
|
bus_id cannot be determined from _HID/_CID of the corresponding
|
||||||
|
ACPI namespace node, although that object represents a device (for
|
||||||
|
example, it may be a PCI device with _ADR defined and without _HID
|
||||||
|
or _CID). In that case the string 'device' will be used as the
|
||||||
|
object's bus_id.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
4. Linux ACPI Physical Device Glue
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
ACPI device (i.e. struct acpi_device) objects may be linked to other
|
||||||
|
objects in the Linux' device hierarchy that represent "physical" devices
|
||||||
|
(for example, devices on the PCI bus). If that happens, it means that
|
||||||
|
the ACPI device object is a "companion" of a device otherwise
|
||||||
|
represented in a different way and is used (1) to provide configuration
|
||||||
|
information on that device which cannot be obtained by other means and
|
||||||
|
(2) to do specific things to the device with the help of its ACPI
|
||||||
|
control methods. One ACPI device object may be linked this way to
|
||||||
|
multiple "physical" devices.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
If an ACPI device object is linked to a "physical" device, its sysfs
|
||||||
|
directory contains the "physical_node" symbolic link to the sysfs
|
||||||
|
directory of the target device object. In turn, the target device's
|
||||||
|
sysfs directory will then contain the "firmware_node" symbolic link to
|
||||||
|
the sysfs directory of the companion ACPI device object.
|
||||||
|
The linking mechanism relies on device identification provided by the
|
||||||
|
ACPI namespace. For example, if there's an ACPI namespace object
|
||||||
|
representing a PCI device (i.e. a device object under an ACPI namespace
|
||||||
|
object representing a PCI bridge) whose _ADR returns 0x00020000 and the
|
||||||
|
bus number of the parent PCI bridge is 0, the sysfs directory
|
||||||
|
representing the struct acpi_device object created for that ACPI
|
||||||
|
namespace object will contain the 'physical_node' symbolic link to the
|
||||||
|
/sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:02:0/ sysfs directory of the
|
||||||
|
corresponding PCI device.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The linking mechanism is generally bus-specific. The core of its
|
||||||
|
implementation is located in the drivers/acpi/glue.c file, but there are
|
||||||
|
complementary parts depending on the bus types in question located
|

ACPI video extensions
|
||||||
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
This driver implement the ACPI Extensions For Display Adapters for
|
||||||
|
integrated graphics devices on motherboard, as specified in ACPI 2.0
|
||||||
|
Specification, Appendix B, allowing to perform some basic control like
|
||||||
|
defining the video POST device, retrieving EDID information or to
|
||||||
|
setup a video output, etc. Note that this is an ref. implementation
|
||||||
|
only. It may or may not work for your integrated video device.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The ACPI video driver does 3 things regarding backlight control:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
1 Export a sysfs interface for user space to control backlight level
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
If the ACPI table has a video device, and acpi_backlight=vendor kernel
|
||||||
|
command line is not present, the driver will register a backlight device
|
||||||
|
and set the required backlight operation structure for it for the sysfs
|
||||||
|
interface control. For every registered class device, there will be a
|
||||||
|
directory named acpi_videoX under /sys/class/backlight.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The backlight sysfs interface has a standard definition here:
|
||||||
|
Documentation/ABI/stable/sysfs-class-backlight.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
And what ACPI video driver does is:
|
||||||
|
actual_brightness: on read, control method _BQC will be evaluated to
|
||||||
|
get the brightness level the firmware thinks it is at;
|
||||||
|
bl_power: not implemented, will set the current brightness instead;
|
||||||
|
brightness: on write, control method _BCM will run to set the requested
|
||||||
|
brightness level;
|
||||||
|
max_brightness: Derived from the _BCL package(see below);
|
||||||
|
type: firmware
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Note that ACPI video backlight driver will always use index for
|
||||||
|
brightness, actual_brightness and max_brightness. So if we have
|
||||||
|
the following _BCL package:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Method (_BCL, 0, NotSerialized)
|
||||||
|
{
|
||||||
|
Return (Package (0x0C)
|
||||||
|
{
|
||||||
|
0x64,
|
||||||
|
0x32,
|
||||||
|
0x0A,
|
||||||
|
0x14,
|
||||||
|
0x1E,
|
||||||
|
0x28,
|
||||||
|
0x32,
|
||||||
|
0x3C,
|
||||||
|
0x46,
|
||||||
|
0x50,
|
||||||
|
0x5A,
|
||||||
|
0x64
|
||||||
|
})
|
||||||
|
}
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The first two levels are for when laptop are on AC or on battery and are
|
||||||
|
not used by Linux currently. The remaining 10 levels are supported levels
|
||||||
|
that we can choose from. The applicable index values are from 0 (that
|
||||||
|
corresponds to the 0x0A brightness value) to 9 (that corresponds to the
|
||||||
|
0x64 brightness value) inclusive. Each of those index values is regarded
|
||||||
|
as a "brightness level" indicator. Thus from the user space perspective
|
||||||
|
the range of available brightness levels is from 0 to 9 (max_brightness)
|
||||||
|
inclusive.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
2 Notify user space about hotkey event
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
There are generally two cases for hotkey event reporting:
|
||||||
|
i) For some laptops, when user presses the hotkey, a scancode will be
|
||||||
|
generated and sent to user space through the input device created by
|
||||||
|
the keyboard driver as a key type input event, with proper remap, the
|
||||||
|
following key code will appear to user space:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
EV_KEY, KEY_BRIGHTNESSUP
|
||||||
|
EV_KEY, KEY_BRIGHTNESSDOWN
|
||||||
|
etc.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
For this case, ACPI video driver does not need to do anything(actually,
|
||||||
|
it doesn't even know this happened).
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
ii) For some laptops, the press of the hotkey will not generate the
|
||||||
|
scancode, instead, firmware will notify the video device ACPI node
|
||||||
|
about the event. The event value is defined in the ACPI spec. ACPI
|
||||||
|
video driver will generate an key type input event according to the
|
||||||
|
notify value it received and send the event to user space through the
|
||||||
|
input device it created:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
event keycode
|
||||||
|
0x86 KEY_BRIGHTNESSUP
|
||||||
|
0x87 KEY_BRIGHTNESSDOWN
|
||||||
|
etc.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
so this would lead to the same effect as case i) now.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Once user space tool receives this event, it can modify the backlight
|
||||||
|
level through the sysfs interface.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
3 Change backlight level in the kernel
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
This works for machines covered by case ii) in Section 2. Once the driver
|
||||||
|
received a notification, it will set the backlight level accordingly. This does
|
||||||
|
not affect the sending of event to user space, they are always sent to user
|
||||||
|
space regardless of whether or not the video module controls the backlight level
|
||||||
|
directly. This behaviour can be controlled through the brightness_switch_enabled
|
||||||
|
module parameter as documented in kernel-parameters.txt. It is recommended to
|
||||||
|
disable this behaviour once a GUI environment starts up and wants to have full
|
||||||
|
control of the backlight level.
