* Full ACPI compliance testing for the FADT * FADT: enable compiling on non-x86 architectures * FADT: non-x86 machines need an FADT but x86 can survive without one * FADT: disable SCI_EN and RESET_REG tests when in reduced hardware mode * FADT: add in code to log basic info about the various FADT flag fields * Add in bit masks for FACS flags. * FADT: move log info out of test2, will provide it elsewhere * ACPI: Add hypervisor ID field to FADT. * FADT: minor cleanup and initial compliance tests * FADT: expand the compliance test for FIRMWARE_CTRL fields * FADT: expand compliance checks for DSDT and X_DSDT fields * FADT: add compliance tests for reserved fields, PM profile, reduced hardware * FADT: restructure test sequence around reduced hardware mode * FADT: expand compliance tests for the SMI_CMD field * FADT: add compliance tests for the ACPI_ENABLE and ACPI_DISABLE fields * FADT: add compliance tests for S4BIOS_REQ and PSTATE_CNT fields * FADT: extend and add PM address block compliance tests * FADT: enhance compliance tests for GPE blocks * FADT: add compliance test for the CST_CNT field * FADT: add in compliance tests for C2/C3 latency fields * FADT: add in SLEEP_CONTROL_REG and SLEEP_STATUS_REG compliance tests * FADT: remove no longer useful variables from test1 * FADT: add safety checks for older versions of FADT * acpi: method: add _PMC test * acpi: method: add _PRT test * acpi: method: add _RDI test * acpi: method: add _LPI test * data: klog.json: update to sync with 4.6 kernel changes
= Fixed Bugs =
* Start defining FWTS architectures as variables * Define some utility functions for using the fwts_architecture enum * Add mechanism to tell FWTS what architecture is being tested * ACPI: MADT: add in compliance tests for the MADT and subtables * ACPI: Add in MADT subtable description for GIC ITS subtable * ACPI: MADT: add in compliance checks for the GIC ITS subtable * Documentation: add --acpicompliance to man page * Documentation: add --arch to the man page * Update ACPI RSDP tests to be specification compliant * RSDP: minor cleanups to rsdp.c for checkpatch issues * utilities: add a helper function for printing out architecture names * ACPI tables: when bodging up an RSDP, do the right thing for the arch * ACPI RSDP: flesh out the tests to check for full spec compliance. * acpi: method: remove non-method names from the top comments * acpi: fadt: check 32/64 bit PM register addresses for inconsistency (LP: #1536606) * acpi: erst: fix incorrect error message for reserved field * lib: fwts_klog: fix incorrect indentation, detected by gcc-6 * lib: fwts_hwinfo: clean up type punning, fixes warning with gcc-6 * fwts: wakealarm: reset wakealarm timer at end of test (LP: #1534003) * dmi: dmicheck: add some simple sanity checks to table size * lib: fwts_args: use safer strncat than strcat * lib: fwts_acpi_tables: don't do expensive low allocs multiple times * acpi: madt: fix incorrect format specifier for size_t * cpu: microcode: fix a couple of warnings found by cppcheck: * acpi: madt: clean up some minor style issues detected by cppcheck * lib: fwts_acpi_tables: fix warnings found by clang scan-build * lib: fwts_cpu: check for MSR read failures * lib: fwts_klog: handle the case where klog_old is empty list * acpica: fix disassembly on i386 platforms (LP: #1547469) * lib: fwts_arch: i686 arch name is also an X86 arch (LP: #1547554) * Fix null_gass initializer for older versions of gcc (LP: #1549429)
