Subject: [PATCH 10/11] acpi: Ignore acpi_rsdp kernel parameter in a secure boot environment
Date: Tue,  4 Sep 2012 11:55:16 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1346774117-2277-11-git-send-email-mjg@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1346774117-2277-1-git-send-email-mjg@redhat.com>

From: Josh Boyer <jwboyer@redhat.com>

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_SECURE_FIRMWARE capability.
