ACPI CA Debug Output |
|
==================== |
|
|
|
The ACPI CA can generate debug output. This document describes how to use this |
|
facility. |
|
|
|
Compile-time configuration |
|
========================== |
|
|
|
The ACPI CA debug output is globally enabled by CONFIG_ACPI_DEBUG. If this |
|
config option is not set, the debug messages are not even built into the kernel. |
|
|
|
Boot- and run-time configuration |
|
================================ |
|
|
|
When CONFIG_ACPI_DEBUG=y, you can select the component and level of messages |
|
you're interested in. At boot-time, use the acpi.debug_layer and |
|
acpi.debug_level kernel command line options. After boot, you can use the |
|
debug_layer and debug_level files in /sys/module/acpi/parameters/ to control |
|
the debug messages. |
|
|
|
debug_layer (component) |
|
======================= |
|
|
|
The "debug_layer" is a mask that selects components of interest, e.g., a |
|
specific part of the ACPI interpreter. To build the debug_layer bitmask, look |
|
for the "#define _COMPONENT" in an ACPI source file. |
|
|
|
You can set the debug_layer mask at boot-time using the acpi.debug_layer |
|
command line argument, and you can change it after boot by writing values |
|
to /sys/module/acpi/parameters/debug_layer. |
|
|
|
The possible components are defined in include/acpi/acoutput.h. |
|
|
|
Reading /sys/module/acpi/parameters/debug_layer shows the supported mask values:: |

debug_level |
|
=========== |
|
|
|
The "debug_level" is a mask that selects different types of messages, e.g., |
|
those related to initialization, method execution, informational messages, etc. |
|
To build debug_level, look at the level specified in an ACPI_DEBUG_PRINT() |
|
statement. |
|
|
|
The ACPI interpreter uses several different levels, but the Linux |
|
ACPI core and ACPI drivers generally only use ACPI_LV_INFO. |
|
|
|
You can set the debug_level mask at boot-time using the acpi.debug_level |
|
command line argument, and you can change it after boot by writing values |
|
to /sys/module/acpi/parameters/debug_level. |
|
|
|
The possible levels are defined in include/acpi/acoutput.h. Reading |
|
/sys/module/acpi/parameters/debug_level shows the supported mask values, |
|
currently these:: |
|
|
|
ACPI_LV_INIT 0x00000001 |
|
ACPI_LV_DEBUG_OBJECT 0x00000002 |
|
ACPI_LV_INFO 0x00000004 |

|
Examples |
|
======== |
|
|
|
For example, drivers/acpi/acpica/evxfevnt.c contains this:: |
|
|
|
#define _COMPONENT ACPI_EVENTS |
|
... |
|
ACPI_DEBUG_PRINT((ACPI_DB_INIT, "ACPI mode disabled\n")); |
|
|
|
To turn on this message, set the ACPI_EVENTS bit in acpi.debug_layer |
|
and the ACPI_LV_INIT bit in acpi.debug_level. (The ACPI_DEBUG_PRINT |
|
statement uses ACPI_DB_INIT, which is a macro based on the ACPI_LV_INIT |
|
definition.) |
|
|
|
Enable all AML "Debug" output (stores to the Debug object while interpreting |
|
AML) during boot:: |
|
|
|
acpi.debug_layer=0xffffffff acpi.debug_level=0x2 |
|
|
|
Enable all ACPI hardware-related messages:: |
|
|
|
acpi.debug_layer=0x2 acpi.debug_level=0xffffffff |
|
|
|
Enable all ACPI_DB_INFO messages after boot:: |
|
|
|
# echo 0x4 > /sys/module/acpi/parameters/debug_level |
|
|
|
Show all valid component values:: |
|
|
|
# cat /sys/module/acpi/parameters/debug_layer
|
|
