The problem was mostly in the initialization code, since in that stage
the parser assumed that there is an identity mapping in the first 1MB of
the address space. Now during initialization the parser will create the
correct mappings to locate the required data.
As suggested by Joshua, this commit adds the 2-clause BSD license as a
comment block to the top of every source file.
For the first pass, I've just added myself for simplicity. I encourage
everyone to add themselves as copyright holders of any file they've
added or modified in some significant way. If I've added myself in
error somewhere, feel free to replace it with the appropriate copyright
holder instead.
Going forward, all new source files should include a license header.
mmap() & mmap_region() methods are removed from ACPI & DMI components,
and we replace them with the new MM.allocate_kernel_region() helper.
Instead of doing a raw calculation for each VM address, from now on we
can use helper functions to do perform those calculations in a neat,
reusable and readable way.
ACPI subsystem includes 3 types of parsers that are created during
runtime, each one capable of parsing ACPI tables at different level.
ACPIParser is the most basic parser which is essentialy a parser that
can't parse anything useful, due to a user request to disable ACPI
support in a kernel boot parameter.
ACPIStaticParser is a derived class from ACPIParser, which is able to
parse only static data (e.g. FADT, HPET, MCFG and other tables), thus
making it not able to parse AML (ACPI Machine Language) nor to support
handling of hardware events and power management. This type of parser
can be created with a kernel boot parameter.
ACPIDynamicParser is a derived class from ACPIStaticParser, which
includes all the capabilities of the latter, but *should* implement an
AML interpretation, (by building the ACPI AML namespace) and handling
power & hardware events. Currently the methods to support AML
interpretation are not implemented.
This type of parser is created automatically during runtime if the user
didn't specify a boot parameter related to ACPI initialization.
Also, adding strncmp function definition in StdLib.h, to be able to use
it in ACPIStaticParser class.
