[PATCH 1/4] ACPI: Provide support for ACPI table adding via OS

From: Thomas Renninger
Date: Fri Feb 28 2014 - 12:24:23 EST


This is done the same way as the previous ACPI physical table override
mechanism.
How to override or add tables via initrd, please look up:
Documentation/acpi/initrd_table_override.txt

SSDTs can only be overridden, not added.

Overriding only happens if the OEM id of the table header matches the one
with the BIOS provided one.
All table types (SSDTs are an exception), must only show up once.
So either you:
- Add a fresh new table for adding of which type (signature) none exists
in the BIOS -> OS ACPI table adding happens.
or
- Add a table which already exists in BIOS, but the OEM id must match the
one of the table of the same type (signature) that exists in BIOS already
-> OS ACPI table overriding happens
Typically one copies away the original ACPI table, disassembles,
modifies (for example adding debug strings), compiles it and provides
the table via initrd for overriding (will have the same OEM id).
But this is not necessary, one could also come up with a selfmade
table for overriding, by taking care that the signature and OEM id is
the same as the one provided by BIOS

In ACPI table overriding case you see in dmesg:
ACPI: Override [DSDT- BXDSDT], this is unsafe: tainting kernel
Disabling lock debugging due to kernel taint

In ACPI table adding case you see in dmesg (BGRT table got added):
ACPI: Add [BGRT-SLIC-WKS], this is unsafe: tainting kernel
ACPI: BGRT 000000007fffd1ba 000038 (v00 HPQOEM SLIC-WKS 01072009
INTL 20130823)
