Type/Severity
Product Enhancement Advisory
Red Hat Insights patch analysis
Identify and remediate systems affected by this advisory.
Topic
iasl, a new package that compiles ASL into AML, is now available. This
package is a build requirement for KVM.
Description
iasl compiles ACPI Source Language (ASL) into ACPI Machine Language (AML);
it can also be used to de-compile AML for debugging purposes. AML is
suitable for inclusion as Differentiated System Description Tables (DSDT)
in system firmware. In addition, iasl is also used to build the BIOS images
inside the KVM userspace source. As such, iasl is included in this release
as a build requirement of the kvm package. (BZ#488614)
