The static tables are for things the OS needs to +know early in boot, before it can parse the ACPI namespace. If a new table +is defined, an old OS needs to operate correctly even though it ignores the +table. _CRS allows that because it is generic and understood by the old +OS; a static table does not. + +If the OS is expected to manage a non-discoverable device described via +ACPI, that device will have a specific _HID/_CID that tells the OS what +driver to bind to it, and the _CRS tells the OS and the driver where the +device's registers are. + +PCI host bridges are PNP0A03 or PNP0A08 devices.  Their _CRS should +describe all the address space they consume.  This includes all the windows +they forward down to the PCI bus, as well as bridge registers that are not +forwarded to PCI.  The bridge registers include things like secondary/ +subordinate bus registers that determine the bus range below the bridge, +window registers that describe the apertures, etc.  These are all +device-specific, non-architected things, so the only way a PNP0A03/PNP0A08 +driver can manage them is via _PRS/_CRS/_SRS, which contain the +device-specific details.  The bridge registers also include ECAM space, +since it is consumed by the bridge. + +ACPI defines a Consumer/Producer bit to distinguish the bridge registers +("Consumer") from the bridge apertures ("Producer") [4, 5], but early +BIOSes didn't use that bit correctly. The result is that the current ACPI +spec defines Consumer/Producer only for the relatively new Extended Address +Space descriptors; the bit should be ignored in the older QWord/DWord/Word +Address Space descriptors. Consequently, OSes have to assume all +QWord/DWord/Word descriptors are windows. + +Prior to the addition of Extended Address Space descriptors, the failure of +Consumer/Producer meant there was no way to describe bridge registers in +the PNP0A03/PNP0A08 device itself. The workaround was to describe the +bridge registers (including ECAM space) in PNP0C02 catch-all devices [6]. +With the exception of ECAM, the bridge register space is device-specific +anyway, so the generic PNP0A03/PNP0A08 driver (pci_root.c) has no need to +know about it.   + +New architectures should be able to use "Consumer" Extended Address Space +descriptors in the PNP0A03 device for bridge registers, including ECAM, +although a strict interpretation of [6] might prohibit this. Old x86 and +ia64 kernels assume all address space descriptors, including "Consumer" +Extended Address Space ones, are windows, so it would not be safe to +describe bridge registers this way on those architectures. + +PNP0C02 "motherboard" devices are basically a catch-all.  There's no +programming model for them other than "don't use these resources for +anything else."  So a PNP0C02 _CRS should claim any address space that is +(1) not claimed by _CRS under any other device object in the ACPI namespace +and (2) should not be assigned by the OS to something else. + +The PCIe spec requires the Enhanced Configuration Access Method (ECAM) +unless there's a standard firmware interface for config access, e.g., the +ia64 SAL interface [7]. A host bridge consumes ECAM memory address space +and converts memory accesses into PCI configuration accesses. The spec +defines the ECAM address space layout and functionality; only the base of +the address space is device-specific. An ACPI OS learns the base address +from either the static MCFG table or a _CBA method in the PNP0A03 device. + +The MCFG table must describe the ECAM space of non-hot pluggable host +bridges [8]. Since MCFG is a static table and can't be updated by hotplug, +a _CBA method in the PNP0A03 device describes the ECAM space of a +hot-pluggable host bridge [9]. Note that for both MCFG and _CBA, the base +address always corresponds to bus 0, even if the bus range below the bridge +(which is reported via _CRS) doesn't start at 0. + + +[1] ACPI 6.0, sec 6.1: + For any device that is on a non-enumerable type of bus (for example, an + ISA bus), OSPM enumerates the devices' identifier(s) and the ACPI + system firmware must supply an _HID object ... for each device to + enable OSPM to do that. + +[2] ACPI 6.0, sec 3.7: + The OS enumerates motherboard devices simply by reading through the + ACPI Namespace looking for devices with hardware IDs. + + Each device enumerated by ACPI includes ACPI-defined objects in the + ACPI Namespace that report the hardware resources the device could + occupy [_PRS], an object that reports the resources that are currently + used by the device [_CRS], and objects for configuring those resources + [_SRS].

Device configuration objects provide + information about current and possible resource requirements, the + relationship between shared resources, and methods for configuring + hardware resources. + + When OSPM enumerates a device, it calls _PRS to determine the resource + requirements of the device. It may also call _CRS to find the current + resource settings for the device. Using this information, the Plug and + Play system determines what resources the device should consume and + sets those resources by calling the device’s _SRS control method. + + In ACPI, devices can consume resources (for example, legacy keyboards), + provide resources (for example, a proprietary PCI bridge), or do both. + Unless otherwise specified, resources for a device are assumed to be + taken from the nearest matching resource above the device in the device + hierarchy. + +[4] ACPI 6.0, sec 6.4.3.5.1, 2, 3, 4: + QWord/DWord/Word Address Space Descriptor (.1, .2, .3) + General Flags: Bit [0] Ignored + + Extended Address Space Descriptor (.4) + General Flags: Bit [0] Consumer/Producer: + 1–This device consumes this resource + 0–This device produces and consumes this resource + +[5] ACPI 6.0, sec 19.6.43: + ResourceUsage specifies whether the Memory range is consumed by + this device (ResourceConsumer) or passed on to child devices + (ResourceProducer).
