[PATCH 1/3] ACPI: Support _OSI("Darwin") correctly

From: Matthew Garrett
Date: Tue Mar 11 2014 - 18:21:16 EST


Apple hardware queries _OSI("Darwin") in order to determine whether the
system is running OS X, and changes firmware behaviour based on the answer.
The most obvious difference in behaviour is that Thunderbolt hardware is
forcibly powered down unless the system is running OS X. The obvious solution
would be to simply add Darwin to the list of supported _OSI strings, but this
causes problems.

Recent Apple hardware includes two separate methods for checking _OSI
strings. The first will check whether Darwin is supported, and if so will
exit. The second will check whether Darwin is supported, but will then
continue to check for further operating systems. If a further operating
system is found then later firmware code will assume that the OS is not OS X.
This results in the unfortunate situation where the Thunderbolt controller is
available at boot time but remains powered down after suspend.

The easiest way to handle this is to special-case it in the Linux-specific
OSI handling code. If we see Darwin, we should answer true and then disable
all other _OSI vendor strings.
