From 237889bf0a62f1399fb2ba0c2a259e6a96597131 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Zhao Yakui Date: Wed, 17 Dec 2008 16:55:18 +0800 Subject: ACPI : Use RSDT instead of XSDT by adding boot option of "acpi=rsdt" On some boxes there exist both RSDT and XSDT table. But unfortunately sometimes there exists the following error when XSDT table is used: a. 32/64X address mismatch b. The 32/64X FACS address mismatch In such case the boot option of "acpi=rsdt" is provided so that RSDT is tried instead of XSDT table when the system can't work well. http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8246 Signed-off-by: Zhao Yakui cc:Thomas Renninger Signed-off-by: Len Brown --- arch/x86/kernel/acpi/boot.c | 6 +++++- 1 file changed, 5 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) (limited to 'arch/x86/kernel') diff --git a/arch/x86/kernel/acpi/boot.c b/arch/x86/kernel/acpi/boot.c index 4c51a2f8fd3..db1a90a76b3 100644 --- a/arch/x86/kernel/acpi/boot.c +++ b/arch/x86/kernel/acpi/boot.c @@ -47,7 +47,7 @@ #endif static int __initdata acpi_force = 0; - +u32 acpi_rsdt_forced; #ifdef CONFIG_ACPI int acpi_disabled = 0; #else @@ -1783,6 +1783,10 @@ static int __init parse_acpi(char *arg) disable_acpi(); acpi_ht = 1; } + /* acpi=rsdt use RSDT instead of XSDT */ + else if (strcmp(arg, "rsdt") == 0) { + acpi_rsdt_forced = 1; + } /* "acpi=noirq" disables ACPI interrupt routing */ else if (strcmp(arg, "noirq") == 0) { acpi_noirq_set(); -- cgit v1.2.3
