ACPICA version 20181031 released
by Moore, Robert
31 October 2018. Summary of changes for version 20181031:
This release is available at https://acpica.org/downloads
An Operation Region regression was fixed by properly adding address ranges to a global list during initialization. This allows OS to accurately check for overlapping regions between native devices (such as PCI) and Operation regions as well as checking for region conflicts between two Operation Regions.
Added support for the 2-byte extended opcodes in the code/feature that attempts to continue parsing during the table load phase. Skip parsing Device declarations (and other extended opcodes) when an error occurs during parsing. Previously, only single-byte opcodes were supported.
Cleanup: Simplified the module-level code support by eliminating a useless global variable (AcpiGbl_GroupModuleLeveCode).
2) iASL Compiler/Disassembler and Tools:
iASL/Preprocessor: Fixed a regression where an incorrect use of ACPI_FREE could cause a fault in the preprocessor. This was an inadvertent side-effect from moving more allocations/frees to the local cache/memory mechanism.
iASL: Enhanced error detection by validating that all NameSeg elements within a NamePatch actually exist. The previous behavior was spotty at best, and such errors could be improperly ignored at compiler time (never at runtime, however. There are two new error messages, as shown in the examples below:
dsdt.asl 33: CreateByteField (TTTT.BXXX, 1, CBF1)
Error 6161 - ^ One or more objects within the Pathname do not exist (TTTT.BXXX)
dsdt.asl 34: CreateByteField (BUF1, UUUU.INT1, BBBB.CBF1)
Error 6160 - One or more prefix Scopes do not exist ^ (BBBB.CBF1)
iASL: Disassembler/table-compiler: Added support for the static data table TPM2 revision 3 (an older version of TPM2). The support has been added for the compiler and the disassembler.
Fixed compilation of DOS format data table file on Unix/Linux systems. iASL now properly detects line continuations (\) for DOS format data table definition language files on when executing on Unix/Linux.

This isn't entirely correct, because base_frequency is not present in
the passive mode (and it is not present for the other drivers for that
matter).

Instead, I would say:
"One more policy attribute is present if the `HWP feature is enabled
in the processor <Active Mode With HWP_>`_:"
here and I would add the description of the attribute below.

The code changes are fine by me, but what about documenting the new sysfs attr?

The spec says that it is optional, but you seem to assume that it
always will be there.
What happens if it is not there?

ACPICA version 20181003 released
by Moore, Robert
03 October 2018. Summary of changes for version 20181003:
This release is available at https://acpica.org/downloads
2) iASL Compiler/Disassembler and Tools:
Fixed a regression introduced in version 20180927 that could cause the compiler to fault, especially with NamePaths containing one or more carats (^). Such as: ^^_SB_PCI0
Added a new remark for the Sleep() operator when the sleep time operand is larger than one second. This is a very long time for the ASL/BIOS code and may not be what was intended by the ASL writer.
