[PATCH V2 09/10] acpi: Ignore acpi_rsdp kernel parameter in a secure boot environment

[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.  This
could potentially be used to circumvent the secure boot trust model.
We ignore the setting if we don't have the CAP_COMPROMISE_KERNEL capability.
