ACPI: Dumping ACPI Objects with SystemTap

This document is intended to explain to dump out ACPI Objects in the ACPI driver at run time using SystemTap. This can be useful to sanity check the ACPI objects in the kernel that are accessible by the ACPI driver.

Instructions

1. Clone the systemtap-scripts git repository:

git clone git://kernel.ubuntu.com/cking/systemtap-scripts

2. Install SystemTap and the appropriate kernel .ddebs 

sudo apt-get install systemtap

2.1) Create an /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ddebs.list by running the following line at a terminal: 

echo "deb http://ddebs.ubuntu.com $(lsb_release -cs) main restricted universe multiverse" |\
 sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ddebs.list

2.2) Import the debug symbol archive signing key: 

sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys 428D7C01

2.3) Then run: 

sudo apt-get update

2.4) Download and install the debug kernel, e.g. 

sudo apt-get install linux-image-`uname -r`-dbgsym

3. Run the script

sudo ./systemtap-scripts/acpi-dump/acpi-dump.stp

..this will take a few moments to build and then run. You will then get a dump of the handle and name of the ACPI objects inside the kernel ACPI driver. For example: 

$ sudo ./systemtap-scripts/acpi-dump/acpi-dump.stp
