[PATCH v4 18/63] Documentation: ACPI: move aml-debugger.txt to firmware-guide/acpi and convert to reST

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



This converts the plain text documentation to reStructuredText format and
add it to Sphinx TOC tree. No essential content change.

-This document describes the usage of the AML debugger embedded in the Linux
-kernel.
-
-1. Build the debugger
-
-   The following kernel configuration items are required to enable the AML
-   debugger interface from the Linux kernel:
-
-   CONFIG_ACPI_DEBUGGER=y
-   CONFIG_ACPI_DEBUGGER_USER=m
-
-   The userspace utilities can be built from the kernel source tree using
-   the following commands:
-
-   $ cd tools
-   $ make acpi
-
-   The resultant userspace tool binary is then located at:
-
-     tools/power/acpi/acpidbg
-
-   It can be installed to system directories by running "make install" (as a
-   sufficiently privileged user).
-
-2. Start the userspace debugger interface
-
-   After booting the kernel with the debugger built-in, the debugger can be
-   started by using the following commands:
-
-   # mount -t debugfs none /sys/kernel/debug
-   # modprobe acpi_dbg
-   # tools/power/acpi/acpidbg
-
-   That spawns the interactive AML debugger environment where you can execute
-   debugger commands.
-
-   The commands are documented in the "ACPICA Overview and Programmer Reference"
-   that can be downloaded from
-
-   https://acpica.org/documentation
-
-   The detailed debugger commands reference is located in Chapter 12 "ACPICA
-   Debugger Reference".  The "help" command can be used for a quick reference.
-
-3. Stop the userspace debugger interface
-
-   The interactive debugger interface can be closed by pressing Ctrl+C or using
-   the "quit" or "exit" commands.  When finished, unload the module with:
-
-   # rmmod acpi_dbg
-
-   The module unloading may fail if there is an acpidbg instance running.
-
-4. Run the debugger in a script
-
-   It may be useful to run the AML debugger in a test script. "acpidbg" supports
-   this in a special "batch" mode.  For example, the following command outputs
-   the entire ACPI namespace:
-
-   # acpidbg -b "namespace"
