From 05131ecc99ea9da7f45ba3058fe8a2c1d0ceeab8 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Venkatesh Pallipadi Date: Sun, 23 Oct 2005 16:31:00 -0400 Subject: [ACPI] Avoid BIOS inflicted crashes by evaluating _PDC only once Linux invokes the AML _PDC method (Processor Driver Capabilities) to tell the BIOS what features it can handle. While the ACPI spec says nothing about the OS invoking _PDC multiple times, doing so with changing bits seems to hopelessly confuse the BIOS on multiple platforms up to and including crashing the system. Factor out the _PDC invocation so Linux invokes it only once. http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5483 Signed-off-by: Venkatesh Pallipadi Signed-off-by: Len Brown --- include/asm-i386/acpi.h | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) (limited to 'include/asm-i386') diff --git a/include/asm-i386/acpi.h b/include/asm-i386/acpi.h index df4ed323aa4d..55059abf9c95 100644 --- a/include/asm-i386/acpi.h +++ b/include/asm-i386/acpi.h @@ -179,7 +179,7 @@ extern void acpi_reserve_bootmem(void); extern u8 x86_acpiid_to_apicid[]; -#define ARCH_HAS_POWER_PDC_INIT 1 +#define ARCH_HAS_POWER_INIT 1 #endif /*__KERNEL__*/ -- cgit v1.2.3
