Hi,
I ran into some compile errors when I was prototyping the code for the proposals in ASWG, it turns out that some field in FADT is changed and "reserved4[0]" used in ACPI_FADT_V2_SIZE will cause the error.
So my question is that the length of very version of FADT is fixed, why not use a constant value for this puspose?
Here is the code:
/* * Sizes of the various flavors of FADT. We need to look closely * at the FADT length because the version number essentially tells * us nothing because of many BIOS bugs where the version does not * match the expected length. In other words, the length of the * FADT is the bottom line as to what the version really is. * * For reference, the values below are as follows: * FADT V1 size: 0x074 * FADT V2 size: 0x084 * FADT V3 size: 0x0F4 * FADT V4 size: 0x0F4 * FADT V5 size: 0x10C */ #define ACPI_FADT_V1_SIZE (u32) (ACPI_FADT_OFFSET (flags) + 4) #define ACPI_FADT_V2_SIZE (u32) (ACPI_FADT_OFFSET (reserved4[0]) + 3) #define ACPI_FADT_V3_SIZE (u32) (ACPI_FADT_OFFSET (sleep_control)) #define ACPI_FADT_V5_SIZE (u32) (sizeof (struct acpi_table_fadt))
Why not #define ACPI_FADT_V1_SIZE 0x074 ? Did I miss something? any clarify will be appreciated :)
Thanks Hanjun
