[ol8_u2_baseos_base] acpica-tools-20180629-3.el8.x86_64

The ACPI Component Architecture (ACPICA) project provides an OS-independent
reference implementation of the Advanced Configuration and Power Interface
Specification (ACPI).  ACPICA code contains those portions of ACPI meant to
be directly integrated into the host OS as a kernel-resident subsystem, and
a small set of tools to assist in developing and debugging ACPI tables.

This package contains only the user-space tools needed for ACPI table
development, not the kernel implementation of ACPI.  The following commands
are installed:
   -- iasl: compiles ASL (ACPI Source Language) into AML (ACPI Machine
      Language), suitable for inclusion as a DSDT in system firmware.
      It also can disassemble AML, for debugging purposes.
   -- acpibin: performs basic operations on binary AML files (e.g.,
      comparison, data extraction)
   -- acpidump: write out the current contents of ACPI tables
   -- acpiexec: simulate AML execution in order to debug method definitions
   -- acpihelp: display help messages describing ASL keywords and op-codes
   -- acpinames: display complete ACPI name space from input AML
   -- acpisrc: manipulate the ACPICA source tree and format source files
      for specific environments
   -- acpixtract: extract binary ACPI tables from acpidump output (see
      also the pmtools package)

This version of the tools is being released under GPLv2 license.

• Wed Aug 08 2018 Al Stone <ahs3@redhat.com> - 20180629-3

  - Add in man page for acpiexamples.  So that the man page makes some sense,
    also copy the source code used for acpiexamples to the doc directory for
    this package.  Closes BZ#1611145.
  - Add in the converterSample.asl file from the misc tests.  Clean up the
    run-misc-tests.sh script, too, to make it more robust by simplifying
    the work done.

• Tue May 22 2018 Al Stone <ahs3@redhat.com> - 20180508-2

  - %pre and %post scriptlets fail -- stupid thinko where I inadvertently
    tested for alternatives not existing, vs existing

• Tue May 15 2018 Al Stone <ahs3@redhat.com> - 20180508-1

  - Update to 20180508 source tree, including patch refeshes. Closes BZ#1544048
  - acpidump/acpixtract no longer have alternatives, so remove the scriptlets
    that maintain them and just install them directly; we do leave the pre-
    and post- scriptlets to remove the alternatives for now.  Closes BZ#1576970
  - Typo: OPT_LDFLAGS, not OPT_LDLAGS in the build section.  Closes BZ#1560542

• Mon May 14 2018 Al Stone <ahs3@redhat.com> - 20180427-1

  - Update to 20180427 source tree, including patch refeshes. Closes BZ#1544048

• Mon May 14 2018 Al Stone <ahs3@redhat.com> - 20180313-1

• Fri Mar 16 2018 Al Stone <ahs3@redhat.com> - 20180209-1

  - Update to 20180209 source tree, including patch refeshes. Closes BZ#1544048
  - CVE-2017-13693: operand cache leak in dsutils.c -- applied github patch to
    fix the leak.  Resolves BZ#1485346.
  - CVE-2017-13694: acpi parse and parseext cache leaks in psobjects.c -- applied
    github patch to fix the leaks.  Resolves BZ#1485348.
  - CVE-2017-13695: operand cache leak in nseval.c -- applied github patch to fix
    the leak.  Resolves BZ#1485349.
  - Security fixes for the CVEs above applied.  Closes BZ#1485355.  NOTE: these
    patches fix acpica-tools ONLY; the kernel needs to be patch separately.
  - Added gcc to BuildRequires
  - It turns out the %build section was incorrectly passing in OPT_CFLAGS; it
    made the wrong assumptions about what generate/unix/Makefile.config did with
    that value.  Added to the spec file what should happen so that a full and
    complete set of C flags get passed in, not just the small subset that was.
  - Clean up compiler warnings for truncated strings
  - Clean up compiler warnings for pointer casting on 32-bit architectures
