From aa2110cb1a7510f9b834adfb39b05d4843a35d35 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Lin Ming Date: Thu, 8 Apr 2010 14:34:27 +0800 Subject: ACPI: add boot option acpi=copy_dsdt to fix corrupt DSDT Some BIOS on Toshiba machines corrupt the DSDT, so add a new boot option acpi=copy_dsdt to workaround it. Add warning message to ask users to use this option if corrupt DSDT detected. Also build a DMI blacklist to check it and automatically copy DSDT. https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14679 Signed-off-by: Lin Ming Signed-off-by: Len Brown --- arch/x86/kernel/acpi/boot.c | 4 ++++ 1 file changed, 4 insertions(+) (limited to 'arch/x86/kernel/acpi') diff --git a/arch/x86/kernel/acpi/boot.c b/arch/x86/kernel/acpi/boot.c index cd40aba6aa95..b9629384263c 100644 --- a/arch/x86/kernel/acpi/boot.c +++ b/arch/x86/kernel/acpi/boot.c @@ -1576,6 +1576,10 @@ static int __init parse_acpi(char *arg) /* "acpi=noirq" disables ACPI interrupt routing */ else if (strcmp(arg, "noirq") == 0) { acpi_noirq_set(); + } + /* "acpi=copy_dsdt" copys DSDT */ + else if (strcmp(arg, "copy_dsdt") == 0) { + acpi_gbl_copy_dsdt_locally = 1; } else { /* Core will printk when we return error. */ return -EINVAL; -- cgit v1.2.1
