Avoid using parenthesis enclosure macros (.Pq and .Po/.Pc) with plain text. Not only this slows down the mdoc(7) processing significantly, but it also has an undesired (in this case) effect of disabling hyphenation within the entire enclosed block.

|
|
.Nd executing and debugging AML interpreter
|
|
(with DSDT files)
|
|
.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
|
.Nm
|
|
.Op Fl dhst
|
|
.Ar dsdt_file ...
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
.Nm Amldb
|
|
parses the DSDT
|
|
(Differentiated System Description Table)
|
|
files, which usually are acquired from ACPI BIOS, and executes
|
|
the sequence of ACPI Control Methods described in AML
|
|
(ACPI Machine Language)
|
|
with its AML interpreter.
|
|
.Nm Amldb
|
|
also has a simple ACPI virtual machine. During execution of the
|
|
Control Methods each access to the region, such as
|
|
SystemMemory, SystemIO, PCI_Config, does not affect the real
|
|
hardware but only the virtual machine.
|
|
Because the sequence of virtual accesses is maintained in user space,
|
|
AML interpreter developers need not worry about any effect on hardware
|
|
when they analyze DSDT data files. They can develop and debug the
|
|
interpreter, even if the machine has no ACPI BIOS.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The developer will need to acquire a DSDT data file from any machine
|
|
with ACPI BIOS through
|
|
.Xr acpidump 8 .
|
|
The DSDT is a table, a part of the whole ACPI memory table
|
|
located in somewhere in the BIOS area
|
|
.Pq Li 0xa0000 \- 0x100000 .
|
|
It includes such information as the detailed hardware information
|
|
for PnP, and the set of procedures which perform power management from
|
|
the OS. The information is stored in AML format.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The AML interpreter can execute any of the Control Methods specified
|
|
by users. When executed, it interprets the byte sequence in the
|
|
Control Method of DSDT, and disassembles the opecodes that it
|
|
recognizes into ASL
|
|
(ACPI Source Language)
|
|
format to be displayed.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
If it encounters one of more accesses to the region such as
|
|
SystemMemory in executing the Control Methods, its ACPI Virtual
|
|
Machine simulates the input/output operations to the resources in the
|
|
region. In writing to a certain region, the ACPI Virtual Machine
|
|
prepares a piece of memory corresponding to its address,
|
|
if necessary, and holds the specified value in the memory as the
|
|
.Em region contents .
|
|
In reading from a certain region, it fetches the value in the memory
|
|
.Pq Em region contents ,
|
|
prompts with it as the following:
|
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent
|
|
DEBUG[read(0, 0x100b6813)&mask:0x1](default: 0x1 / 1) >>
|
|
.Ed
|
|
.Pp
|
|
for users to have the opportunity to modify it, and hands it to
|
|
the AML interpreter. In case that there is no corresponding region
|
|
in the AML Virtual Machine, the value zero is handed.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The interpreter continues to maintain all of the
|
|
.Em region contents
|
|
until
|
|
.Nm
|
|
terminates. You can specify their initial values with the file
|
|
.Pa region.ini
|
|
in the current directory. If it is executed with
|
|
.Fl d
|
|
option, it dumps the final status of all of its
|
|
.Em region contents
|
|
to the file
|
|
.Pa region.dmp
|
|
when it terminates. Each line of there files consists of the following
|
|
fields, separated by tabs; region type, address, and value.
|
|
Region types are specified as follows;
|
|

|

|

Interactive commands are described below:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width indent
|
|
.It Cm s
|
|
.Em Single step :
|
|
Performs single-step execution of the current Control Method. If
|
|
the next instruction is an invocation of another Control Method,
|
|
the step execution will continue in the following Control Method.
|
|
.It Cm n
|
|
.Em Step program :
|
|
Performs single-step execution of the current Control Method.
|
|
Even if the next instruction is an invocation of another Control
|
|
Method, the step execution will not continue.
|
|
.It Cm c
|
|
.Em Continue program being debugged :
|
|
Resumes execution of the AML interpreter. Because the current
|
|
.Nm
|
|
has no way of breakpoint, this command might not so much useful.
|
|
.It Cm q
|
|
.Em Quit method execution :
|
|
Terminates execution of the current Control Method. If
|
|
.Nm
|
|
is not in execution, this command causes to input the next
|
|
DSDT data file. If there are no next DSDT data files, it
|
|
terminates
|
|
.Nm
|
|
itself.
|
|
.It Cm t
|
|
.Em Show local name space tree and variables :
|
|
Displays the structure of the ACPI namespace tree. If
|
|
.Nm
|
|
is in execution, this command displays the structure that relates
|
|
to the objects, arguments, and local variables below the scope of the
|
|
current Control Method.
|
|
.It Cm i
|
|
.Em Toggle region input prompt :
|
|
Switches whether the prompt for modifying the value read from the
|
|
.Em region contents
|
|
be showed or not. Default is On.
|
|
.It Cm o
|
|
.Em Toggle region output prompt :
|
|
Switches whether the prompt for modifying the value to be written
|
|
to the region contents will be shown or not. The default is Off.
|
|
.It Cm m
|
|
.Em Show memory management statistics :
|
|
Displays the current statistics of the memory management system
|
|
on the AML interpreter.
|
|
.It Cm r Ar method
|
|
.Em Run specified method :
|
|
Executes the specified Control Method. If it requires one or
|
|
more arguments, a prompt such as the following appears;
|
|
.Bd -literal
|
|
Method: Arg 1 From 0x280626ce To 0x28062775
|
|
Enter argument values (ex. number 1 / string foo). 'q' to quit.
|
|
Arg0 ?
|
|
.Ed
|
|
.Pp
|
|
For each argument, a pair of type string and value delimited by
|
|
one or more spaces can be entered. Now only
|
|
.Ic number
|
|
and
|
|
.Ic string
|
|
can be specified as the type string.
|
|
In the current implementation, only the first character of the type
|
|
string, such as
|
|
.Ic n
|
|
or
|
|
.Ic s ,
|
|
is identified. For example, we can enter as follows:
|
|
.Bd -literal
|
|
Arg0 ? n 1
|
|
.Ed
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.It Cm f Ar string
|
|
.Em Find named objects from namespace :
|
|
Lists the named objects that includes the specified string as the
|
|
terminate elements searching from the ACPI namespace. For the
|
|
namespace is expressed as the sequence of four-character elements,
|
|
appropriate number of additional underscore
|
|
.Pq Ql _
|
|
characters are necessary for specifying objects which have less than four
|
|
character string. Unless additional underscores specified, matching
|
|
occurs as the beginning of word with the specified number of characters.
|
|
.It Cm h
|
|
.Em Show help messsage :
|
|
Displays the command summary of
|
|
.Nm .
|
|
.El
|
|
.Sh OPTIONS
|
|
Exactly one of the following options must be specified. Otherwise,
|
|
.Nm
|
|
shows its usage and terminates.
|
|
.Bl -tag -width indent
|
|
.It Fl d
|
|
Dump the final status of all of the
|
|
.Em region contents
|
|
in the ACPI Virtual Machine to the file
|
|
.Pa region.dmp .
|
|
.It Fl h
|
|
Terminate with the usage of this command.
|
|
.It Fl s
|
|
Display the statistics of the memory management system on the
|
|
AML interpreter when
|
|
.Nm
|
|
terminates.
|
|
.It Fl t
|
|
Display the tree structure of ACPI namespace after the
|
|
DSDT data file is read.

.Sh BUGS
|
|
The ACPI virtual machine does not completely simulate the behavior
|
|
of a machine with an ACPI BIOS. In the current implementation, the
|
|
ACPI virtual machine only reads or writes the stored values by
|
|
emulating access to regions such as SystemMemory.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Because the AML interpreter interprets and disassembles
|
|
simultaneously, it is impossible to implement such features as setting
|
|
breakpoints with the specified line number in ASL. Setting breakpoints
|
|
at certain Control Methods, which is not very difficult, has not
|
|
yet implemented because nobody has ever needed it.
