Re: Full ACPI table overrides and ACPI V1 to V4 conversion patch

There is one more fix I'd like to suggest.
For Disabler.kext's dependencies:
<key>OSBundleLibraries</key>
<dict>
   <key>com.apple.kpi.iokit</key>
   <string>7.0</string>
   <key>com.apple.kpi.libkern</key>
   <string>8.0d0</string>
</dict>
Rather than old com.apple.kernel.iokit...
This should fix it better for 64-bit support and Tiger and above support the kpi components so it shouldn't be any problem for older systems.

I have try your boot, it works very well. The SystemType option works yet, the restar fix also without to add nothing in com.apple.

Good job;)

Did further testing of the bootloader.
Loading replacement FADT.aml works
Overriding tables works for every tester who has tested...
This is great...
Auto patching also works like a charm.
We've got done what we needed to get done  :D

Andy, can you post a FADT.aml?  ;)  Thanks

You should use UpdateACPI=Yes and RestartFix=Yes
But I'll post an example of one...
This one is an auto-fixed one for P35...

Thanks,   hence the FADT table is equal to the FACP table, right?

The restart fix for me works also without this option in com.apple  ;)

Andy until this feautures will not be implemented official from rek in chameleon rc5 can you will patch the nexts prerc of cham with these implementation? ;)

Andy,
You are now a crew member of the public chameleon repository :)

I would like to integrate only the acpi tables loading but I made quite somes fixes since my last RC5pre7,
I'm about to release a pre8 and would love to integrate that first.
I'm not aware fo the FACP mods you did, I thought RestartFix would work already great here,
But I'm open to *any* suggestions if it can makes chameleon better.
I want to make sure any feature we integrate before final RC5 won't cause regression,
apart from that I'll welcome all your work, should some of it be postponed if not mature enough ;)

Thank you for your work Andy and WELCOME to the chameleon Team !

Finally. :)

The restart fix both seem to work the same way ;)

Andy, I'm currently having a look to your acpi loading mod:
I would like to change the options (far too many new options!)
I believe we could reuse Drop=y and replace it by Drop = "[<SSDT>] [<HPET>] ..."
Also, Do we really need oemXXX ?
My proposal : any dropped acpi table by Dropp would be tried to be loaded at the same place that we found the dsdt.aml file, if not present we don't load the corresponding table, if present we load it.
Simple, isn't it ?

Also I would remove for the same reason all the <ACPI_table_NAME>=path options,
because if they are available in the same directory than the dsdt (and they are specified in drop), then we simply load them.
Simple, easy to use and more importantly: no need to add so many new options when we can automatically do a great job...

What do you think ?
EDIT:
I'm currently integrating your full work in my branch (GREAT work Andy !), the only thing that we are currently discussing and trying to do is limiting the number of new options and replacing with hopefully a bit smarter acpi table finding and handling code, I am also trying to reduce the number of code duplication, not only in your recent mods, but in all the booter.
You can follow and comment, and participate to what I'm doing anytime, I would probably need and welcome your help and suggestions on that wonderful work you've done.
Thanks Andy.

Hey andy, I started the code refactoring from your patch, created a new acpi.c file, including all utilities necessary to implement what I was talking about previously.
Started to modify dsdt_patcher.c, still some work to do but I think you might understand better what it is about.
It might be oversimplified in this first increment, feel to have a look to the code and comment.
But the generic enumeration and table loading mechanism is here (see acpi.c).
I would greatly appreciate your help on /* CHECK ME here */ assertions in dsdt_patcher,
particularly in the offset calculation (would be estonished if it could work as is).
Thanks

OK I've been a little busy, I'll review the code now...
I'll get back to you.

EDIT: Checked code...
Bad things:
1. It would be better if you parse the tables to drop untill a , is found and it transfers it into some structure for dropping.
It should start at 0 unless boot arg Drop is found (in which case it starts at 1).
For each , which is found it increments the amount and it thus copies the characters into the structure.
The structure should get parsed for each table loop (untill total amount is reached).

1B. Isn't parsing this Drop list slower because of parsing a list?

2. What about table adding?
It currently supports overriding certain tables but it doesn't check if it they got replaced and thus there is no way to add new tables.
Also table adding underneat (out of the for (i=0;i<(x or r)sdt_entries_num;i++) loop) isn't present so it doesn't add any new tables.

3. What about specific SSDT table replacing?
It should be possible to only add or replace certain SSDT table.
Check my code to see how I accomplish that.

Good things:
1. The FADT upgrade/patching will work fine.
2. Adding SSDT tables should work fine.
3. XSDT generation will work fine.
4. Opening FD code should work.
5. Loading to memory code should work.
6. SSDT loading to memory code should work but should use (acpiSearchAndGetFd) or check path for first SSDT load first.
7. The only advantage of parsing a Drop= list is that you can also drop other tables (like BOOT table or so...)

P.S. What about Disabler.kext's plist dependency fixes?

I've also got some new ideas for fixing some other things up.
Download my saved ioregs from various Macs...
You can check them out for various new fixes.
The IODeviceTree:/efi... node contains somewhere the model of the Mac and so.
It might be wise to add them from smbios.plist or default...
