SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0 + +============= +SSDT Overlays +============= + +In order to support ACPI open-ended hardware configurations (e.g. development +boards) we need a way to augment the ACPI configuration provided by the firmware +image. A common example is connecting sensors on I2C / SPI buses on development +boards. + +Although this can be accomplished by creating a kernel platform driver or +recompiling the firmware image with updated ACPI tables, neither is practical: +the former proliferates board specific kernel code while the latter requires +access to firmware tools which are often not publicly available. + +Because ACPI supports external references in AML code a more practical +way to augment firmware ACPI configuration is by dynamically loading +user defined SSDT tables that contain the board specific information. + +For example, to enumerate a Bosch BMA222E accelerometer on the I2C bus of the +Minnowboard MAX development board exposed via the LSE connector [1], the +following ASL code can be used:: + + DefinitionBlock ("minnowmax.aml", "SSDT", 1, "Vendor", "Accel", 0x00000003) + { + External (\_SB.I2C6, DeviceObj) + + Scope (\_SB.I2C6) + { + Device (STAC) + { + Name (_HID, "BMA222E") + Name (RBUF, ResourceTemplate () + { + I2cSerialBus (0x0018, ControllerInitiated, 0x00061A80, + AddressingMode7Bit, "\\_SB.I2C6", 0x00, + ResourceConsumer, ,) + GpioInt (Edge, ActiveHigh, Exclusive, PullDown, 0x0000, + "\\_SB.GPO2", 0x00, ResourceConsumer, , ) + { // Pin list + 0 + } + }) + + Method (_CRS, 0, Serialized) + { + Return (RBUF) + } + } + } + } + +which can then be compiled to AML binary format:: + + $ iasl minnowmax.asl + + Intel ACPI Component Architecture + ASL Optimizing Compiler version 20140214-64 [Mar 29 2014] + Copyright (c) 2000 - 2014 Intel Corporation + + ASL Input: minnomax.asl - 30 lines, 614 bytes, 7 keywords + AML Output: minnowmax.aml - 165 bytes, 6 named objects, 1 executable opcodes + +[1] https://www.elinux.org/Minnowboard:MinnowMax#Low_Speed_Expansion_.28Top.29 + +The resulting AML code can then be loaded by the kernel using one of the methods +below. + +Loading ACPI SSDTs from initrd +============================== + +This option allows loading of user defined SSDTs from initrd and it is useful +when the system does not support EFI or when there is not enough EFI storage. + +It works in a similar way with initrd based ACPI tables override/upgrade: SSDT +AML code must be placed in the first, uncompressed, initrd under the +"kernel/firmware/acpi" path. Multiple files can be used and this will translate +in loading multiple tables. Only SSDT and OEM tables are allowed. See +initrd_table_override.txt for more details. + +Here is an example:: + + # Add the raw ACPI tables to an uncompressed cpio archive. + # They must be put into a /kernel/firmware/acpi directory inside the + # cpio archive. + # The uncompressed cpio archive must be the first. + # Other, typically compressed cpio archives, must be + # concatenated on top of the uncompressed one. + mkdir -p kernel/firmware/acpi + cp ssdt.aml kernel/firmware/acpi + + # Create the uncompressed cpio archive and concatenate the original initrd + # on top: + find kernel | cpio -H newc --create > /boot/instrumented_initrd + cat /boot/initrd >>/boot/instrumented_initrd + +Loading ACPI SSDTs from EFI variables +===================================== + +This is the preferred method, when EFI is supported on the platform, because it +allows a persistent, OS independent way of storing the user defined SSDTs. There +is also work underway to implement EFI support for loading user defined SSDTs +and using this method will make it easier to convert to the EFI loading +mechanism when that will arrive. To enable it, the +CONFIG_EFI_CUSTOM_SSDT_OVERLAYS shoyld be chosen to y. + +In order to load SSDTs from an EFI variable the ``"efivar_ssdt=..."`` kernel +command line parameter can be used (the name has a limitation of 16 characters). +The argument for the option is the variable name to use. If there are multiple +variables with the same name but with different vendor GUIDs, all of them will +be loaded. + +In order to store the AML code in an EFI variable the efivarfs filesystem can be +used. It is enabled and mounted by default in /sys/firmware/efi/efivars in all +recent distribution. + +Creating a new file in /sys/firmware/efi/efivars will automatically create a new +EFI variable. Updating a file in /sys/firmware/efi/efivars will update the EFI +variable. Please note that the file name needs to be specially formatted as +"Name-GUID" and that the first 4 bytes in the file (little-endian format) +represent the attributes of the EFI variable (see EFI_VARIABLE_MASK in +include/linux/efi.h). Writing to the file must also be done with one write +operation. + +For example, you can use the following bash script to create/update an EFI +variable with the content from a given file:: + + #!/bin/sh -e + + while [ -n "$1" ]; do + case "$1" in + "-f") filename="$2"; shift;; + "-g") guid="$2"; shift;; + *) name="$1";; + esac + shift + done + + usage() + { + echo "Syntax: ${0##*/} -f filename [ -g guid ] name" + exit 1 + } + + [ -n "$name" -a -f "$filename" ] || usage + + EFIVARFS="/sys/firmware/efi/efivars" + + [ -d "$EFIVARFS" ] || exit 2 + + if stat -tf $EFIVARFS | grep -q -v de5e81e4; then + mount -t efivarfs none $EFIVARFS + fi + + # try to pick up an existing GUID + [ -n "$guid" ] || guid=$(find "$EFIVARFS" -name "$name-*" | head -n1 | cut -f2- -d-) + + # use a randomly generated GUID + [ -n "$guid" ] || guid="$(cat /proc/sys/kernel/random/uuid)" + + # efivarfs expects all of the data in one write + tmp=$(mktemp) + /bin/echo -ne "\007\000\000\000" | cat - $filename > $tmp + dd if=$tmp of="$EFIVARFS/$name-$guid" bs=$(stat -c %s $tmp) + rm $tmp + +Loading ACPI SSDTs from configfs +================================ + +This option allows loading of user defined SSDTs from user space via the configfs +interface.
