[PATCH 14/27] acpi: Ignore acpi_rsdp kernel param when the kernel has been locked down

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: Josh Boyer <jwboyer@xxxxxxxxxx>

This option allows userspace to pass the RSDP address to the kernel, which
makes it possible for a user to modify the workings of hardware .  Reject
the option when the kernel is locked down.
