ACPI Device Tree - Representation of ACPI Namespace
|

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.

Figure 1. ACPI Definition Blocks
|
||||
|
||||
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
|
||||
elsewhere. For example, the PCI-specific part of it is located in
|
||||
drivers/pci/pci-acpi.c.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||

attribute (as described earlier in this document).
|
||||
NOTE: N/A indicates the device object does not have the 'path' or the

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.
